Princeton expands into WW

Plainsboro sewer plant gets upgrades

University and government oﬀicials celebrate groundbreaking of massive project

$56M investment announced for Princeton Meadows wastewater facility

BILL SANSERVINO

EDITED BY BILL SANSERVINO

Suez North America has announced that it will make substantial upgrades to its Princeton Meadows treatment plant that will bring greater resiliency and reliable service to customers. Construction at the at the facility, located at 31 Maple Ave., started in October. “The Princeton Meadows wastewater facility was constructed in 1971, upgraded in 1978 and again in 2003,” said Jim Mastrokalos, director of operations. “This next mandatory enhancement will result in a more sustainable plant by rehabilitating and modernizing aging infrastructure and equipment that has reached the end of its service life,” he said. The project upgrades are necessary to meet the future New Jersey Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit limitations, which become effective in January 2025 and sustain increased plant flow projections from 1.64 million gallons to 1.70 million gallons per day.

West Windsor resident Kevin Chapman with his award-winning book “Lethal Voyage.”

West Windsor author wins Kindle Book Award Kevin Chapman has written ﬁve books since 2018 BY REBEKAH SCHROEDER

Kevin G. Chapman scrolled through the Kindle Book Awards page, looking to see if the cover of his book, Lethal Voyage, would appear as the winner of the mystery/ thriller category. He checked the results with bated breath

and was met with the familiar image of a bloody knife, the drops cascading over the title text. He had taken first place. Announced as one of eight winners in the Kindle Book Review’s 10th annual contest on Nov. 1, the third novel in the attorney and author’s crime series continues the story of New York City Homicide detective Mike Stoneman. Accompanied by his partner, Jason Dickson, the two characters tackle everything

from cruise line murders to serial killers. “I’ve always been a closet author,” Chapman says. “COVID has been good for writers. You have nothing else to do, so you spend a lot of time working on your book.” Lethal Voyage is exclusively available on Amazon.com for Kindle, in paperback and in hardcover. The Mike Stoneman series started in 2018 with Righteous Assassin, succeeded by Deadly See CHAPMAN, Page 4

Princeton University marked the start of construction on its new campus in West Windsor with a groundbreaking ceremony. Local officials joined members of the Princeton University community at the event, which took place on Dec. 7. The project, which was approved by the West Windsor Planning Board in 2020, will be located on a 107-acre tract of land owned by the university, and will be the first major development on the university’s property in West Windsor. “The West Windsor Lake Campus will be a lively community with space to support academic partnerships, graduate student housing, varsity athletics, recreational uses, and parking,” says the Princeton University facilities website. “The Lake Campus will provide a place that is experienced as a natural, yet distinctive extension of the existing campus.” Princeton owns a significant amount of land in West Windsor and Plainsboro, including 400 acres bounded See LEADERS, Page 6

Do you want to be part of the largest consultation in history? The Catholic church throughout the world is holding an unprecedented conversation about its future. Pope Francis believes that only the entire people of God walking together can answer the question: What is the Holy Spirit saying to the church today? It doesn’t matter whether you are an active Catholic, or someone who feels you have left the church behind. We want you to be part of this conversation. In early 2022 our parish will hold a series of small‐group meetings — some in person, others on Zoom. You would be asked to prepare by thinking and praying about some questions: What are your hopes and dreams for what the church could become? What stands in the way of the church becoming what it needs to be? If you would have an interest in taking part in one of these conversations, or you want to hear more, please write us at synod@stdavidtheking.com.

Lethal Voyage takes place after a shoot-out in the previous novel, landing the duo “in a little bit of hot water,” as Chapman describes. “They’ve just engaged in an unauthorized operation that resulted in some pretty negative publicity, and so the concept of the next book was [that] the police commissioners tell them they need to make themselves scarce for a while, because the New York press keeps asking questions, and they want them to be unavailable for interviews,” he says. “So, the idea was, we’re gonna put them on a cruise ship and have them take a little quickie vacation.” The duo embark on a cruise to Bermuda as a means of escaping the media attention, and the chosen location is heavily inspired by Chapman’s personal travels—they even go to some of his favorite places on the island. “My wife and I are huge cruisers,” Chapman says. “My wife and I’ve been to Bermuda 18 or 19 times, several times on cruises, and we love that cruise from New York to Bermuda and back, and we’re very familiar with that,” he says. Instead of unwinding on a peaceful vacation with their girlfriends, Stoneman and Dickson have to solve a murder on the high seas. After the wife of a Broadway theater producer dies in a fall from her room’s balcony, the ship’s chief of security wants to call the case a suicide. Evidence soon points towards a suspect, the husband of the deceased woman. But when a female cabin attendant is found in Stoneman’s cabin with a knife in her back, no one can deny that there is a murderer on board. “[I] thought that would be so much fun, almost like a locked-room mystery, where you’ve got a very confined space, and things are happening, and the mystery has to be solved in a very short period of time with a very confined group of characters who can’t go anywhere because they’re all on a cruise ship,” Chapman says. While he was writing, though, the world changed, and all cruises were

canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Nobody’s doing any cruising anymore, but we can at least read about a cruise,” Chapman says, connecting with the online cruising community. He offered his book as a way of allowing readers to “take a virtual cruise.” In his passion for writing, Chapman did not always opt for crime thrillers. He graduated from Columbia College in 1983, then magna cum laude from Boston University School of Law in 1986. His first novel was written in the late 1990s between jobs. Laid off from a New York law firm, Chapman had time on his hands, but before Amazon, anyone looking to publish a book needed a publisher— something he did not have. For their 20th wedding anniversary, his wife offered to have the book published. A company called Xlibris printed them, then gave Chapman the copies, the fruits of his labor and what he called a “fun project” finally realized in a physical edition. “That was a private investigator story, which is now completely dated, and it’s really a remnant of the 1990s,” he says, Mike Stoneman still years away from being conceptualized. Over the course of 12 years, Chapman went on to write A Legacy of One, a book he self-published in 2016. “It is a wonderful book, and nobody wanted to read it, because it’s serious literary fiction. It’s a book about politics and morals and self-determination and identity, and it’s wonderful, but it’s just not a pageturner. If you’re into it, it is,” he says. “But I didn’t write it in order to make it a best-seller, I wrote it because I needed to write this book.” Chapman says.. “I needed to get this book out of my system.” Opting for a more fun and marketable idea, Chapman says, he elevated a short story he had written in 2012 for a themed writing contest sponsored by The New Jersey Corporate Counsel Association. He took a break from A Legacy of One and wrote the “genesis” of Mike Stoneman, and his original draft was 3,000 words over the limit. Fool Me Twice, went on to win the legal fiction writing competition, so when 2016 and the end of A Legacy of One came around, Mike Stoneman did, too. “When I said I wanted to go in a different direction, I went back to that character,” Chapman says. Book one, Righteous Assassin, helped Stoneman take off, the detective now fronting a five book series. Despite Lethal Voyage’s success, he had trouble finding a literary agent. The experience gave Chapman a

Before Amazon, anyone looking to publish a book needed a publisher— something Chapman did not have.

unique perspective for the future. “It’s a struggle for independent authors to find distribution for their stuff. That’s the biggest downside of being an independently published novelist, is marketing the material is a challenge. I’m much better at writing than I am at marketing,” Chapman says. “So, I said ‘alright, well if you’re not interested, then I’ll just keep going as a self-published author,’” he explains. “People really enjoyed it, so the traditional publishers missed out on the chance to have this one.” The latest book, Perilous Gambit, takes the characters to Las Vegas, his second favorite place, for a wedding and “another road trip story.” But murder always follows Stoneman and Dickson regardless of their jurisdiction, so the pair gamble their luck on another case. The series could possibly consist of more installments in the future, but for now, Chapman is taking a break from Mike Stoneman, part of which has to do with the timeline of the books finally reaching the beginning of the pandemic—an era he does not wish to write about. What Chapman is open and willing to do is adapt the Mike Stoneman series into a screenplay, as the books were conceptualized with that medium in mind. “If you’re interested in Mike Stoneman and his adventures, all of the other characters that revolve around him and his story, and you’re interested in that, boy I am ready and willing to turn these into screenplays, because they’re kind of written in a cinematic style to start with.” “I really like to let the reader watch the story. There’s very little narration that’s inside the character’s heads, it’s really much more as if you’re behind a camera watching the scene unfold, and so it would be pretty easy to turn them into screenplays, if I could get anybody who loved the stories as much as the readers who post wonderful reviews for the books,” he says. The process for The Kindle Book Award, which Chapman praised, started with judges examining the e-book on Amazon and assessing its cover, book description and preview. The books that pass that stage

advance to a semifinal group of 20, where the books are read in their entirety. In early September, 20 novels was reduced five, and a rejudging period began. The overall winners, like Lethal Voyage, were then announced at the beginning of November. “It was really cool. You make the list of semifinalists, and you’d say okay, that’s good, that means the book doesn’t suck,” Chapman says. Both Righteous Assassin and Deadly Enterprise placed in the semifinals at the 8th and 9th Kindle Book Awards, respectively. “But neither one made it to the final stage, so I was very psyched when Lethal Voyage showed up on the list of the five finalists,” he said, an excitement that grew even more palpable once the book ultimately won. As its third honor thus far, Lethal Voyage was also a finalist in the top five for the Chanticleer Book Review’s CLUE Award, as well as a finalist in the top six for InD’Tale Magazine’s RONE award. Chapman also narrated the audiobooks for the entire series himself. “I think it is interesting listening to the author narrate their own book,” he says. The audiobooks are more widely available than the paperback editions and can be found on different platforms—like Audible, CHIRP, Apple Books, Google Play, Nook and other retailers. While the days of physical book signings are over, Chapman’s website, kevingchapman.com, ships out autographed paperback copies of his books with personally inscribed messages. The award-winning author has developed a steady following for his work. “I’m happy to keep doing them as long as people keep reading them and telling me that they like them. So far, the audience that I’m building seems to really like them. It’s nice for me to know that I’m not doing it just for myself, which I kind of was doing with ‘A Legacy of One,’ the great American novel. I really wrote that just for myself,” he said. “These books, I am finding, are for everyone, and it’s a lot of fun.”

Chapman is open and willing to adapt the Mike Stoneman series into a screenplay.

Travel Talk with Caryn and Aron Travel with Virgin

My husband and I recently sailed on two different cruises in the Bahamas and Mexico. There were similarities among the cruises, but also some big differences. Both are geared towards adults, though only one was 18 and over only. Both required vaccination among all adults (the one that allowed children was vaccinations for all over 12). Neither required masks onboard (only in the ports and as required in stops.) Both had very good service and delicious food. Neither cruise has a formal night. An assortment of different bars and music playing. Lots of shopping opportunities and ability to book a next cruise onboard at a discount. The first cruise was on Celebrity. This is a more traditional cruise line labeled as modern luxury. • Dress code is Cruise Chic. • Shows are every evening; some are bigger productions with Celebrity singers and dancers. On other nights you might see comedians or A Cappella singing group performing. • Specialty dining is an additional charge, and you have some excellent choices. • There are pools and hot tubs and an enclosed Solarium for relaxation. • Lots of shops onboard from alcohol to jewelry to clothing to cruise line branded apparel with daily specials. • We did not have a spa treatment on this trip but did utilize the salon services. I got my first haircut at sea and based upon friends’ responses – it was a good one! • A variety of planned activities during the day, coordinated by the activity staff. We enjoyed daily trivia, games with the staff and wine tastings. • Everywhere you go you can get a photo from staff photographer. • Celebrity is partly inclusive as it now offers a classic beverage package, basic wifi and gratuities in the price. We had a great time and Celebrity is one of our favorite lines and even better when only about 25% capacity! And three weeks later we experience a new cruise line – Virgin Voyages. This is an adult only, hip, ultra-chic line with a casual vibe that is trying to be different than a standard cruise. • There are no buffets, and all specialty dining is included. There is no “main” dining room. And the dining options were very good whether Korean BBQ, Steakhouse, Italian, Mexican or a Vegetarian oriented restaurant with some “naughty” items on the menu. We enjoyed our meals and dining experiences. • Each day there is a large selection of included exercise classes, plus gym equipment. Our favorite was the 80’s VHS workout – took me back to my days watching Jane Fonda videos!

• Instead of all the traditional lounge chairs around the pool, there were some lounge chairs but also sun beds which were very comfortable. The main pool was small, but never filled while we were onboard and there were several different hot tubs on deck. • Like any cruise line there were shops onboard – but not the ones you usually see onboard a ship. Plus, you could get a tattoo or get a makeover at the MAC shop. We were so busy I never got to enjoy the spa or salon services, but those who did enjoyed their treatments. • During the day there were board games you could play, arcade games which were free to use and more in the Social Club. This cruise line encourages guests (sailors) to be self-directed in their entertainment. Each night they did have trivia but added their own twist. • The shows were more edgy with a touch of the burlesque and cabaret. In addition, you could browse a selection of albums to purchase or play in your cabin. The first night was a pajama party on deck with milk and cookies! • There are no staff photographers on board, but plenty of spots to take great photos. • This is also a partly inclusive cruise since basic beverages (soda, water, etc) are included along with wifi, tips, all dining and workout programs. • There is no beverage package, but you can prepurchase a bar tab and get a bonus added to the tab. The tab can be used to purchase any drinks onboard and you can use it to treat your friends. We did have a wonderful time onboard, met new friends and booked another voyage in 2023. Join us on one of our planned vacations in 2022 and 2023 where a Christmas markets river cruise or a Virgin Voyages to Ibiza or Whisky tasting in Ireland or a short cruise to Bermuda. We are here to help you plan a memory making journey and experience At Cruise Planners we specialize in all types of travel (not just cruises). We do not charge any additional fees for our vacation planning, and whether you are looking for a Cruise, an All-Inclusive Resort Vacation, or a European Land Tour, we will provide you with the exceptional service you should expect from a travel agent.

An artist’s rendering of the planned graduate housing to be built on Princeton University’s Lake Campus is pictured above left. The schematic at right shows the planned locations for the project’s various elements. LAKE CAMPUS cont. from Page 1 by Alexander Road, Lake Carnegie, Harrison Street and Route 1, which the university has held for more than 100 years. The Lake Campus will be located within the tract north of Washington Road. The project—slated to be completed in 2023—will include housing for more than 600 postdoc and graduate students and a parking garage with more than 600 spaces. To be built by 2025 are sports facilities including a tennis and racket center with 8 indoor tennis courts, 8 outdoor courts, 14 squash courts; a softball stadium; playing fields for rugby and recreational sports; and a new cross-country course. “We have appreciated the support of stakeholders and partners at the local, county and state level as we developed plans for this first phase of Lake Campus,” said Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber. “We are especially appreciative of the warm welcome that we have received from officials in West Windsor.” Said West WIndsor Mayor Hemant Marathe: “I want to welcome Princeton University on behalf of everybody in West Windsor, and look forward to a very long and productive partnership with all of you.” Other representatives from West Windsor in attendance included Council President Andrea Mandel, and Council members Linda Geevers, Mike Stevens and Sonia Gawas. County officials included County Executive Brian Hughes and County Commissioner Nina Melker. The 2020 planning board approval was for a general development plan, which lays the groundwork for development of the site over the next 20 years. Earlier this year, the board approved specific site plans for Lake Campus North and Lake Campus

South earlier this year. The initial phase of the project will create the backbone of infrastructure, including roadways and underground utilities, that will serve the Lake Campus as it develops over time. Eisgruber said that after the initial phase of development is complete, the Lake Campus will provide potential sites for locating world-class scientific facilities, enabling Princeton to strengthen the region’s innovation

ecosystem and creating opportunities for academic partnerships with nonprofit, corporate and government sectors. “We look forward to continued engagement in future phases as we refine our vision for additional facilities that will advance the University’s mission and enhance our ability to make an impact on the world,” Eisgruber said. According to statistics provided

by the university, the site will create nearly 1,000 construction jobs over the next four years. When the first phase is complete, at least 30 permanent university jobs will have been created in association with these new facilities. The project boats a number of sustainability features. Within the development will be a geo-exchange facility that will be heated and cooled with thermal energy by way of over 150 well bores

The time has come to decide our New Year’s resolutions, promises we make to ourselves that will improve our lives overall for the next 12 months. From eating more healthily to learning better spending habits, we all have areas in our lives that need a bit of extra attention and care. Here are some local resources to help start 2022 in the right mindset, based on the most popular resolutions.

Improving Your Health

Perhaps the number one resolution, year after year, is to live more healthfully. From choosing the right foods to exercising daily, there are a multitude of ways to live a more sound lifestyle. Dr. Kintur Sanghvi, owner of NJ Heart & Vascular Care in Princeton and Hamilton, says that heart health (and overall fitness) starts with the diet and daily intake of water. It is important, he says, to pay attention to what we put into our bodies, and to take care to avoid greasy, salty, or processed foods. “Most of us eat food on the fly,” says Dr. Sanghvi. “We never have time to sit down. We all just eat quickly and move on.” Paying attention to diet and the effect on the body can be life-changing. Dr. Sanghvi, a cardiologist and cardiovascular physician, started

Regenerative Spine and Pain Institute Taking the Fight Against Chronic Pain to New Levels 27 different therapies available to patients, Dr. Patel offers a range of treatments, often combined to attack highly specific causes of pain. Among the most promising and innovative treatments:

otox for migraines. Stem cell injections to regenerate tissue and organs. Gummy Bears infused with THC. Platelet-Rich Plasma to treat conditions from sports injuries and wounds to hair loss from chemotherapy. These are just a few of the cutting-edge therapies used by Dr. Ronak Patel, the founder and medical director of Regenerative Spine and Pain Institute in Plainsboro. “Many of these treatments may come as a surprise to patients suffering from chronic pain, especially those who think that their pain — and poor quality of life — is something they have to endure,” Dr. Patel notes. A double board-certified anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, Dr. Patel focuses on treating pain in the back, neck, face, and joints as well as pain related to cancer and chemotherapy. With so many different pain-causing illnesses, injuries, and conditions, treatments must be carefully customized to fit the needs of each individual patient. Dr. Patel partners with orthopedists, physical and occupational therapists, and chiropractors to provide a variety of approaches and treatments. With

Regenerative Medicine/ Stem Cell Therapy. Regenerative medicine is a fastgrowing, highly developed treatment that helps the body heal or rebuild itself. Dr. Patel uses stem cell therapy to treat ailments, particularly low back or neck pain, caused by degenerative vertebral discs or joint pain in the shoulders, hips, or knees caused by osteoarthritis. The patient’s stem cells are removed, purified, concentrated, and injected into the injured or weakened tissue. Stem cell therapy can also speed recovery and help avoid surgery. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). A favorite treatment for sports injuries, PRP uses the patient’s blood to produce a platelet-rich plasma that targets a host of chronic and acute pain conditions, including muscle strain, arthritis, tendinosis, cartilage injuries, joint inflammation, and wound care. The treatment is also used in orthopedic and plastic surgery. By synthesizing platelets and releasing proteins, PRP can aid in generating new tissue. And it has helped chemotherapy patients grow back hair faster and thicker.

Cannabis Therapy. The legalization of medical marijuana has brought new treatment options. “We are very excited by the potential of cannabis-based treatments and we comply fully with New Jersey’s evolving regulations,” says Dr. Patel. He uses a local dispensary to provide treatments, which include edibles such as gummy bears and cannabis-based rubbing and vaping oils. Minimally Invasive Therapy. Dr. Patel offers a wide variety of minimally invasive therapies. These include epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation for patients suffering from chronic neck and back pain stemming from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis. His goal is to help his patients avoid surgery and at the same time regain functionality. Thanks to these and other game-changing treatments, pain levels can be greatly reduced or eliminated and quality of life enhanced. Says Dr. Patel, “Stop your pain. Start your life.”

Another vital aspect to staying healthy, says Dr. Sanghvi, is living an active lifestyle. “With patients who live to be 90 and 100, one common factor is that all of them are extremely active,” he says. “It is important for overall health and cardiovascular health.” Learning how to train the heart through various forms of exercise is the key to living a long life and reducing the risk of heart attacks and heart disease.

The newly opened Scudder Fall Bridge Shared Use Pathway is the closest one can get to walking and bicycling on air and a great addition to various hikes and walks available to people in the region looking to get out and get healthy — especially at the start of a new year. The 0.86-mile-long walkway is located on the bridge’s upstream span and accessible in New Jersey from the D&R Feeder Canal towpath. A canal and towpath parking area is located on River Road in Ewing. A Pennsylvania ramp is located directly opposite on the Delaware Canal towpath. The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, which opened the pathway in November, reports that the “bridge walkways and ramps are 10 feet wide with accompanying 4-foot-6-inch railing heights that meet Federal Highway Administration standards for integration of pedestrian and bicycle traffic. “The new shared-use facility makes Scudder Falls the only river crossing

in the Commission’s 20-bridge system where bicyclists can pedal across without dismounting. Fifteen of the Commission’s bridges currently provide some form of pedestrian access. However, for safety, liability, and logistical reasons, bicyclists must dismount and walk across these existing walkways.” Additionally, the project includes a park-n-ride lot, a comfort station, an interpretive bridge display, and an active transportation network of paths, ramps and bridge walkways, providing direct connectivity between Pennsylvania’s Delaware Canal towpath and New Jersey’s Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath. “This new facility was constructed by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission and is funded by the tolls the agency collects at its eight toll bridges. The Commission has committed to operating and maintaining the facility’s various components in perpetuity,” says the DRJTBC in a statement. The newly opened Scudder Fall Bridge Shared Use Pathway, accessible from For more information: www.drjtbc.

All in the family at Al’s Airport Inn By Thomas Kelly

One thing that long standing family businesses have in common is their stories. Stories that may have been handed down through generations of owners, employees and customers. The history in photos, documents and memories are comforting and provide us with a sense of continuity and community. Long standing family businesses provide us with comfort and roots. Since 1933 there has been an inn near the airport on Bear Tavern Road in Ewing that has been welcoming travelers. Providing hospitality to airport patrons and locals alike, Al’s Airport Inn is keeping the tradition alive and looking to the future. Nestled on a flat plain in the middle of rolling hills, it is easy to think back 88 years and see the warmly lit inn on the outskirts of the airfield, as you climb out of the newly burgeoning transport mode of passenger airplanes. Family owned and operated, Al’s Airport Inn is now owned by Carrie Ann Bondi, and she is looking to enhance the traditional tavern experi-

feel but is much newer and brighter inside. “Of course we kept the building looking like “Al’s”. We had to keep the exposed beams, woodwork, and

brick. The original building dates back to the 1700s and we want to showcase that,” states Bondi. Originating right after the airport was built in 1929, Al’s Airport Inn was purchased from by Bondi from her husband’s grandmother in 2018. “It was time for Grandmom to retire as she was in her 90s and it was either sell it to strangers or buy the inn.” Say Bondi. “My husband’s grandparents acquired the business from Al Jones and his wife from which they were partnered with in the Jones’ later years. The inn is named after Al, of course.” Starting a new venture was almost as important as keeping the inn within the family. Previously working as a marketing and social media consultant, Bondi took the chance, purchased the inn, and has not looked back. “We were forced to close for 8 months due to the pandemic and have been slowly building back to 25, 50 and now 100 percent capacity. We are especially grateful to our community. We could not have done it without their loyalty and encourage-

Hamilton Dental Associates Affordable Dental Care Save Big on Dental Care with Our Access Plan. To the folks who might have lost their jobs or insurance during last year’s pandemic, or if you find yourself constantly running into problems with your insurance… you’re not alone. Dental services are a huge problem for many Americans. In fact, research has shown that costs are the most significant barrier to dental care in the United States compared to any other health care service. Your oral health is crucial to your overall health and well-being, and access to dental care should be easy to obtain. However, proper access to care poses a huge challenge to many families in the area and around the country. Getting your routine care is important for all and should not cost you and your family a fortune. Say Goodbye to Dental Insurance. More often than not, dental insurance requires expensive payroll deductions, doesn’t cover everything that you need, and has low annual limits. At times, you probably find yourself

paying out of pocket if you have a slight problem. You might even wind up paying more in monthly premiums than if you paid for the services themselves. Bi-annual exams, x-rays, cleaning, and fluoride treatment fees can be costly and will begin to add up, especially if you’re providing care for the entire family. If you’re struggling to find a dental service that caters your budget and your needs, or you’re deciding whether or not to invest in dental insurance, look no further. Hamilton Dental Access Plan. We’re offering a reliable and affordable way to remain up to date on routine dental care. We will help

you reach an attractive and healthy smile for everyone in the family. We will provide extensive coverage that dental insurance can’t.

AllCure Spine & Sports Medicine Tackling Pain with the Newest Technology, Treatments, and a Mission to Educate Patients “From your toes to your nose, we can help.” “What you don’t know can hurt you,” affirms Dr. Anthony Alfieri of AllCure Spine and Sports Medicine, an expanding pain management practice with offices in Monroe and Hamilton. “Too many people are in pain and unhappy with their quality of life. Yet they are unaware of new possibilities of treatment that can significantly reduce or eliminate severe, chronic pain.” Dr. Alfieri and his colleagues at AllCure’s offices are on a mission to raise public awareness of the causes of pain and the growing range of non-surgical therapies available to treat them. His multidisciplinary approach spans pain management, laser therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture. Within these categories are numerous noninvasive solutions that address every part of the body and are administered by a professional team of medical doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and physical therapists. This expert team collaborates to find the most effective treatments to provide long-lasting relief from pain. “By listening carefully to our patients describe their symptoms and medical history, we can

Brothers Anthony Alfieri, DC, left, and Victor Alfieri, DPT. create a treatment program that combines various therapies to optimum effect,” says Dr. Alfieri. “Many patients have endured pain for years, thinking that heavy medication and possible surgery were the only avenues open to them.” But new treatments are emerging. The practice has invested in a new FDA-approved laser machine that has proved effective in treating back and neck pain and plantar fasciitis, conditions that are becoming more common with an aging population, intensive computer use, and rising obesity. With two highly trained acupuncturists on staff, this ancient therapy is now used to treat a vast range of conditions. Acupuncture can alleviate joint and back pain and migraines but has uses for conditions that may not be

actually painful but cause discomfort, impact function and quality of life, and can lead to other problems. These include allergies, anxiety, depression, and difficulties in quitting smoking. Pregnant women can get relief from side effects such as morning sickness, swollen ankles, and back pain. Acupuncture also helps treat infertility, menopause, and menstrual cramps. Unfortunately, Medicare and some other insurance plans do not cover acupuncture. “We make every effort to provide affordable acupuncture treatments,” says Dr. Alfieri. A large percentage of the practice includes patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy, usually manifested by stabbing pain and/or numbness in the hands and feet. This has many causes, from diabetes to infection or a traumatic injury. “There is no cure for this, but there are treatments that can significantly reduce pain, including laser treatments,” says Dr. Alfieri. Cannabidiol (CBD) oil has shown promise as a pain reliever without the dangers of addiction posed by opioids. AllCure uses a pure form of Cannabidiol (CBD) oil that has proved effective. “We want our patients to know that today, they have options,” Dr. Alfieri asserts. “A total cessation of pain may not be possible, but we can often bring pain levels down to a point where the patient’s mobility and quality of life is vastly improved.” AllCure Spine & Sports Medicine, 140 Cabot Drive, Suite A, Hamilton. 609-528-4417. www.allcurespineandsports.com.

Aura Dermatology Treat Your Skin Right During the Cold Winter Months First and foremost, amidst a rise in COVID-19 cases, Aura Dermatology hopes everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season! As winter approaches and the holidays are behind us, it’s time to focus on Winter Wellness! Here are some things you can do this winter to maintain optimal skin health. Cold weather and indoor heating are triggers for dry, itchy skin. We recommend avoiding hot showers/baths (even though they feel good!), applying moisturizing creams to the wet or damp skin immediately following, and considering using a humidifier in the home. For those patients who suffer from eczema or psoriasis, you may have a flare-up of your conditions during this season. It is important to make sure you have a dermatologist to help manage these conditions. Now that you spend less time outdoors, no reason to wear sunscreen, right? Wrong! It is important to wear sunscreen daily (at least SPF 30). Sun exposure

is still relevant if you are driving, getting sun through windows at home/work, going out for a walk, etc. Additionally, on snowy days or on the ski slopes, UV rays can reflect off the snow and affect your skin. Although you are not sunbathing, this chronic cumulative exposure can still contribute to premature skin aging and development of skin cancer. At Aura Dermatology, we recommend the use of broad spectrum (UVA/ UVB) sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 daily. This is also a great time to come in for your full body skin exam. You should always be performing monthly self skin exams to look for new or changing moles or growths (changing color, shape, size, bleeding/non-healing). However, it is important to have your dermatologist check you thoroughly for suspicious spots, especially if you have a history of sunburns, numerous moles on your body, and a personal or family

history of skin cancer. Lastly, just because the holidays are over, doesn’t mean we can’t still want to look good! There a variety of treatments like photofacials to fade away sun spots/blood vessels (IPL), chemical peels, laser resurfacing, laser hair removal, or botox/fillers that can be performed to enhance the appearance of our skin. Many of these procedures require sun protection before and afterwards or

The Dental Difference Mini Dental Implants: A True Innovation in Dentistry Mini Dental Implants (MDIs) have changed the face of implant dentistry. Unlike traditional implant placement, where multiple dental visits are often required, MDIs can eliminate the need for extensive surgery. The most common use for MDIs is the stabilization of dentures and overdentures. MDIs firmly anchor the dental prosthesis, which means there is no longer a need to suffer with ill-fitting, loose and ANNOYING dentures! MDIs are designed to eliminate elaborate bone grafting and to expedite treatment. Traditional implants may require significant bone grafting and a longer recovery period. The latent period allows the anchor of the implant to properly embed itself into the jawbone. The smaller size of MDIs means that no recovery period is possible, and the denture can be fitted the same day. What are the advantages of

MDI placement? MDIs are a true innovation for people who are reluctant to have invasive dental surgery and who are suffering denture wearers. One significant advantage MDIs have over traditional implants is that they offer a viable treatment choice for patients who have experienced extensive bone loss. Depending on the quality and density of jawbone available at the implant site, four or more of these mini implants may be implanted at one time. The most common use for MDIs is to stabilize a lower denture, however they can be placed anywhere in the mouth. Other advantages associated with MDIs may include: • Better smelling breath • More self-esteem • Clearer speech • Easier chewing and biting • Easier cleaning • Firmer denture fit • Good success rate • Less denture discomfort • No cutting or sutures • No need for adhesives or messy bonding agents • No rotting food beneath the denture

• No slipping or wobbling • Quick treatment time • Reduced costs How are mini dental implants placed? The whole mini dental implant placement procedure takes approximately one hour. Generally, in the case of lower jaw implants, four to six MDIs will be placed about 5mm apart. Prior to inserting MDIs, Dr. Mosmen will use many diagnostic and planning tools to find the optimal location to implant them. After placement, a denture will be modified and affixed to the MDIs. The rubber O-ring on each MDI snaps into the designated spot on the denture, and the denture then rests snugly on the gum tissue. MDIs hold the denture comfortably in a tight-fitting way for the lifetime of that implant. In almost all cases, no stitching is required, and no real discomfort is felt after the procedure. When the denture placement procedure is complete, light eating can be resumed. The denture can be removed and cleaned at will. MDIs enhance the natural beauty of the smile and restore full functionality

located beneath the softball stadium. It will heat and cool the new graduate student housing and new racquet center as well as provide capacity for future construction. The graduate student housing will feature “passive house design,” which is a first of its kind for the university. The reduction of energy usage associated with the design decreases the number of geo-exchange bores required for the system, resulting in a more efficient use of the land. The university already produces 4.5 kw of solar energy in West Windsor at an existing solar field. This will be increased to 12.2 kw when two additional solar fields already under construction in West Windsor are completed. This will represent nearly 75% of the university’s overall solar production capacity. Also in the project are extensive pathways to local and regional path systems to encourage walking and biking, and connections to TigerTransit to encourage use of mass transit. The landscape design provides the setting for a unique integration with the larger Princeton campus, and with the D&R Canal State Park with the design of the campus intended to contribute to the ecological role of the park corridor. The graduate housing complex will consist of 379 housing units in three separate buildings—a total of 329,000 square feet. The buildings are planned to be three stories tall, with small singlestory portions used for a café and community center serving the complex. A series of portals will connect landscaped courtyards and outdoor amenities at the ground level, including a community garden, a play space, a volleyball court and barbeque areas. “The design of each of these facilities has been carefully integrated into the existing Lake Campus context, with circulation, landscape, and infrastructure meant to create a distinctive sense of place and enhance the arrival experience from the landing of the

Washington Road bridge,” says the university’s facilities website. “The project has been designed to minimize the impact on the woodlands and Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park to the west,” states the website. “The buildings will use district geoexchange for heating and cooling. The stormwater management approach will include a series of localized green infrastructure practices dispersed throughout the site. The café and community center will have green roofs, and the main buildings are designed to accommodate rooftop solar arrays in the future. The project aligns with Princeton’s sustainability standards and is seeking both Passive House and LEED certification for the buildings. The 5-tier parking garage is intended to serve the shared parking needs of the Lake Campus as it grows over time. It is positioned north of Washington Road and allows drivers to park immediately upon entering the new campus. In its initial phase, the garage will include 612 spaces for the graduate student residents on the Lake Campus, as well as parking for athletic events and visitors. It will feature a fabric facade, which is intended to soften the appearance and provide an architectural backdrop to the Washington Road landscape. The Garage will include 20 electric vehicle charging stations, and is designed to allow for a rooftop solar array to be added at a later date. “Robust tree-planting, landscaping, and architectural screening will respect the site’s natural setting. Garage driveways will connect to new and improved campus roadways that are being designed to efficiently manage vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic,” states the facilities website. “This project meets or exceeds Princeton’s sustainability standards. The University is seeking ParkSmart certification, a standard established by Green Business Certification, Inc.

Boone has hopes for more hoops action in 2022 BY RICH FISHER

The West Windsor-Plainsboro South boys’ basketball team has just one player who knows what it’s like to play a full high school season. Fortunately for the Pirates, he’s the type of player who can make an impact. After averaging 10.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.5 assists as a sophomore in 2019-20, Rickey Boone is raring to go into his senior year. Last year was a wash for both North and South, as their season was relegated to playing four games against each other. Boone passed his time by watching Hamilton West games, since he had friends on the team. He enjoyed watching his AAU buddies play, but it hardly filled the gap of not playing himself. “I was sad that our season was just against High School North and we weren’t playing much,” Boone said. “It was unfortunate, but we’ll have a better season this year.” Boone will be key to whatever good fortune the Pirates experience. He may even be an early-season surprise to teams that don’t remember him from two years ago. “Rickey’s always been one of the main ingredients since I’ve taken over

High School South’s Rickey Boone is one of the Pirate’s lead guards. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) the program,” third-year coach Mike Hussong said. “He’s a great kid, a hard worker, and very gifted. He can do a lot of different things for us.” Such as? “He’s one of our lead guards, he’ll

handle the ball, he’ll also play off of it as well,” Hussong said. “He’s one of those guys who can do it all. He’ll get some rebounds.” Most important is, he will defend. “He’s got the potential to lock any-

one down that he’s guarding,” Hussong said. “He can stick with anyone. He’s got that mentality going night in, night out, to take on a challenge defensively. Also, he’s got a nice wing span and deflects a ton of passes for us. That results in steals. He’s really pesky that way.” Boone is not shy about declaring himself to be an all-around player. At just over 6-feet tall, he is confident that he can handle whatever assignment he’s given. “Most of my teams I’ve been on were always small so I was able to play all positions,” he said. “I’ve never been the tallest but I was always a strong little kid. I was alway able to box out get rebounds. I’m a great rebounder. I know how to play all the positions. I’m a wellrounded player.” Despite missing last season, Boone still managed to work on his game. Along with playing AAU, he played in a tournament at Rutgers, attended several camps and also wandered around to several gyms. “I played against some good competition; I played some college kids,” he said. “I like to play a little above my grade. I would go to the Y and they had a lot of people from colleges playing there. My goal was to play higher

competition.” Boone was born in Hamilton, moved to Ewing, and came to West Windsor in fifth grade. He started playing basketball with his cousin at age two “and we just started loving the game.” They began playing at the YMCA, moved to the Boys & Girls Club in Trenton and then went over to Moody Park. His AAU team, the YSU Elite, played a challenging schedule in both Florida and New Jersey last summer. “He’s been really working on his game the last year-and-a-half or so, working on that outside jump shot,” Hussong said. “He’s added that and he’s really good at scoring around the basket. He’s athletic, he gets to the rim really quickly. He’s about 6-foot but he plays a lot bigger than that.” Boone readily admits that penetration is his scoring weapon of choice. “My favorite thing to do is attack the basket, draw fouls and get ‘and ones,” he said. “I think I’m a good set shooter, and I love to run. I can dunk, so you’ll see a couple of dunks this season.” Although he was not the varsity coach when Boone was a freshman, Hussong could not help but notice him. “You could definitely see some of the attributes jump out at you right from the first time you see him,” the coach said.

“He’s always had that little bit of an “it” factor when it comes to his physical ability.” Hussong feels that Boone will not have to carry the entire load this year. He points to players such as Cal Kasof, Josh Raeter and Ben Jaclin as all having the ability to score. Boone agreed, saying “Our team is young but we have a good core.” When it was mentioned he might get double teamed at times this year, Boone just shrugged. “I hope so,” he said. “That would be incentive for me. I’d like to make other defenses struggle a little bit. And other guys will be open. I have to find other guys. I’m a point guard, I have to.” He will be directing a team that’s young but has a chance to improve with time. “Getting that experience and handling the varsity speed and physicality is something we have to learn on the fly,” Hussong said. “The quicker we adjust to that the better off we’ll be. We’re all about team basketball, sharing the basketball, knowing our assignments, taking care of the ball. And defensively, if we get stops we’re looking to run and score in translation.” Look for Boone to be in the middle of it all.

Happy Holidays Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season! May your heart be filled with happiness and your home be filled with love.

‘My favorite thing to do is attack the basket, draw fouls and get ‘and ones,’’ Boone said.

WEST WINDSOR CHRONICLES

Each month, the Historical Society of West Windsor—a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and promoting local history—publishes a column covering our town’s surprisingly rich heritage. This article explores a portion of our town’s role in the American Revolution. Also—West Windsor turns 225 in 2022—look forward to a year of celebrations, including a Jan. 3 lecture on West Windsor and the American Revolution! More info at westwindsorhistory.com/year-225. We are also looking for volunteers and donors—see The old Jonathan Flock farmstead in the 1950s, then owned by the Coleman contact info at the end of this article. family, is now occupied by the long-abandoned American Cyanamid complex.

A bright light amid dark days About 245 years ago, an army marched through West Windsor. The date was Jan. 3, 1777, and George Washington’s troops were on their way to victory in Princeton. But first, let’s rewind a bit. By the end of 1776, the Revolutionary War was in full swing. However, the American cause was looking desperate. Not only had Washington’s army suffered repeated defeats over the preceding

months, but many weary soldiers’ contracts were set to expire around the end of the year. The British were occupying much of the East Coast— including New Jersey. Thus, it was do or die—the patriots needed a victory. On Dec. 26, 1776, they got their big break when they crossed the Delaware River and surprised a garrison of Hessians occupying Trenton. Their victory there, amid some of the darkest hours of the war, helped convince many soldiers to retain their

contracts. Some of these soldiers were likely from the area that would later become West Windsor—about a dozen township compatriots are known to have enlisted in the American army.

The capture of the British Dragoons For the next few days, the Americans regrouped and camped in Trenton. Anxious to know the strength and

movements of the British, Washington sent a small contingent of scouts led by Colonel Joseph Reed to scope out the area. On their way back to Trenton, they made a consequential discovery at a local farmstead. Francis Bazley Lee’s 1907 “Genealogical and Personal Memorial of Mercer County” elaborates: “… as they were riding along the Quaker Road (Quakerbridge Road) … they saw… some soldiers, apparently unarmed, passing between the barn and the house. Colonel Reed’s cavalry quickly surrounded the place and captured twelve British dragoons, who were foraging and had left their loaded arms in the house. “They also captured a commissary with his entire wagon train. The sergeant of the British alone escaped, and he reported that he had fought his way through fifty horsemen. From these prisoners they obtained a good account of the numbers and condition of the British army and learned that they were about to move against the Americans at Trenton.” Memoirs from Joseph Reed and Thomas Peters (another one of the scouts) corroborate much of this account. They also substantiate the importance of the information gleaned from the soldiers. Several additional sources pinpointed the exact prop-

erty on which the British seem to have been captured: that of Jonathan Flock, himself a Revolutionary War soldier. Flock’s farmstead was in West Windsor and is in fact now known as the Howard Hughes/Atlantic Realty property, formerly American Cyanamid. It was only in the 1950s and beyond that the house and much of the farmland was razed to make way for the (now long-abandoned) American Cyanamid agricultural research facility sitting off Quakerbridge and Clarksville Roads. However, even to this day, a portion of the land is farmed, much as it was during Jonathan Flock’s residency.

An army marches through town On Jan. 2, 1777, George Washington, now armed with critical information about British troop movements, staved off a counter-assault on Trenton by Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis, who had brought thousands more soldiers to the city. This “Second Battle of Trenton” (AKA the Battle of Assunpink Creek) gave Washington additional incentive to leave Trenton. Thus, by the early hours of Jan. 3, the American army began to secretly slip out of Trenton and make their way to Princeton, unbeknownst to their enemy. They left a group of soldiers behind who made noise and created fires to mask the army’s escape, but within several hours, even these men

fact, until the mid-1800s, West Windsor (which incorporated in 1797 after old Windsor Township split into East and West Windsor) owned all land in Princeton southeast of Nassau Street—including the Princeton Battlefield and Nassau Hall!

Brigadier-General Hugh Mercer. were on their way to Princeton. For hours, thousands of troops— including legends such as Hugh Mercer, after whom Mercer County was named—trudged along the path, moving their equipment, artillery, supplies, and more. Much of their route included Quakerbridge Road—which, for about two miles, forms southwestern border of West Windsor. The army passed again by the now-liberated Flock farm, among other properties. Some contemporary historians believe the Americans’ route veered northward through the lands that would become Nassau Park Pavilion over two centuries later—which, despite often being branded as “Princeton,” is indeed in West Windsor. In

Washington’s triumph at the Battle of Princeton later that day, alongside figures such as Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and Nathaniel Greene, marked a third victory within the span of just eight days. Not only had he restored the morale of his troops, but his larger objective of pushing the British out of New Jersey was slowly becoming reality, and he was in a better position to request foreign aid. Both the Princeton Battlefield on Mercer Road and Nassau Hall in Princeton University’s main campus—the site of the final stage of the Battle of Princeton - stand as monuments to this seminal point of American history. Nassau Hall played an additional role, as headquarters of the United States Continental Congress from June to November 1783. During this period, the Treaty of Paris was signed between the British and the nascent United States government, ending the Revolutionary War. Also discussed was a permanent federal capital, with Trenton being a viable contender. Were it chosen over Washington, D.C., West Windsor would have been a suburb of the nation’s capital. Again, at the time,

all of Princeton southeast of Nassau Street—including Nassau Hall and the Princeton Battlefield—belonged to Windsor Township—West Windsor’s predecessor. Thus, it may also be appropriate to rename Washington’s assault on British forces here the “Battle of Windsor” and the army’s procession the “Windsor March.” In 1914, twelve stone obelisks were erected between Trenton and Princeton, marking the American army’s seminal march to victory. Two of these dozen markers stand in the historic West Windsor/Lawrence/Princeton hamlet of Port Mercer (itself named after General Hugh Mercer—see the December 2021 article). One sits in the Quakerbridge Road median just west of Nassau Park Boulevard and the other sits along the Delaware & Raritan Canal. Additional memorials exist in the gravestones of various soldiers in West Windsor, such as that of Jacob G. Bergen (17451805)—who hosted the first eleven years of West Windsor’s municipal meetings. As West Windsor turns 225 this year, our town would do well to celebrate its heritage—including its small but not-inconsequential role in the birth of our country.
