PHS student suspended for yearbook submission By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton High School student and aspiring journalist Jamaica Ponder has used her blog and later an online magazine she started to write about race and racism in Princeton, including exposing the now infamous Nazi-themed beer drinking game that fellow high

school students had played last year in a private home. But Ponder, a senior due to graduate next week, found herself getting in trouble with the high school administration about a photo collage that she had submitted for the high school yearbook. She was suspended last week because of the contents of a photograph, of her and some friends in

her basement, with her father’s art in the background. The art contains the n-word, although the full word is not visible in the photo. Off to the side, is another art piece showing O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson and others being lynched, in what is supposed to be a statement about their treatment by the media. Their inclusion in the collage was unin-

tentional, according to Ponder’s father, Rhinold. Jamaica Ponder, who is black, is the daughter of former Princeton Township Mayor Michele Tuck-Ponder. “Evidently, I had used ‘explicitly racial language’ in my senior collage,” Jamaica Ponder wrote June 11 on the online Multi Magazine that she had founded. “Upon reaching the realization that I had

Sculpture a tribute to Einstein

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Albert Einstein died in the now since demolished Princeton Hospital where an expensive apartment development was built in its place, but his memory will live on there thanks to a sculpture unveiled Tuesday. “Einstein’s brain” by Pennsylvania sculptor Patrick Strzelec is made of steel and rises 17 feet into the air as it greets visitors as they enter the AvalonBay development from Witherspoon Street. The abstract piece of art pays tribute to Princeton’s most famous citizen, who made the community his adopted home from the early 1930s until his death in 1955. During a program inside the lobby of AvalonBay, representatives of the developer, the Arts Council of Princeton and others touched on the steps leading to commissioning the public art and finding the right artist, not to mention reflecting on the life of the man the artwork honors. Four years ago, AvalonBay contacted the Arts Council of Princeton to commission public art at the site, the Arts Council said. The project started under the watch of former Arts Council executive director Jeff Nathanson, who came back to provide some of the history. “There were a whole number of community members who, really, in a private but very important process, pushed for there to be an art component to this development,” he said. “I just want to mention that AvalonBay embraced the idea of a public sculpture commission,” Nathanson said. “Nobody forced Avalon or the Arts Council or the community to commission a work of art. Ultimately, it was voluntary.” Strzelec, a Rutgers University art professor and awarding winning

Costs were not disclosed. “This was a big, big opportunity, and I was totally surprised to get it,” Strzelec said later. “This was a long haul,” AvalonBay Vice President Jon Vogel said. “But the project and the work speaks for itself. And it will be enjoyed by the public for many years to come.“

During the program, Einstein’s life was remembered, including by a Princeton woman who grew up in town when Einstein lived here. Local historian Shirley Satterfield, of Clay Street, came to know him through her mother, who worked at the Institute for Advanced Study, where Einstein was on the faculty. “And he used to take me for walks,” she said. “But I remember him holding my hand taking me around the Institute. He had all

this hair and sandals, but he didn’t speak very much.” She recalled him as a great humanitarian. When the Nassau Inn would not let the visiting opera singer Marian Anderson have a room because she was black, Einstein took her in at his house. He died April 18, 1955, at the age of 76, with his brain removed, studied and “distributed around the world,” said Vogel, who appeared to get a little emotional.

The state’s top education official this week defended her decision to allow the Princeton Charter School to expand its enrollment, in rejecting arguments by the Princeton School Board for why she should put her ruling on hold. Acting state Education Commissioner Kimberley Harrington, in a seven-page letter Monday, denied the school district’s request for a stay of her Feb. 28 decision, a measure the district was seeking pending its lawsuit in state Appeals Court to overturn the expansion approval. In the letter, she said the board “is not likely to prevail on the merits of its appeal“ of her decision to let the Charter School phase in 76 more students, spread across two years. Later, she said her ruling was “not arbitrary or capricious,” one she based on a series of factors. “My decision to approve (Princeton Charter School’s) application was specifically informed by a review of student performance on statewide assessments, operational stability, fiscal viability, public comment and fiscal impact on sending districts,” she wrote to lawyers in the case. Harrington said there is “a strong community demand for additional enrollment slots,” even though the district and its allied whipped up opposition to the expansion. District officials have warned of the extra money that will have to come out of the school budget, See DECISION, Page 10

Rider threatened with lawsuit if it sells Choir College By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

An organization of Westminster Choir College alumni, faculty and others would sue if Rider University sells its Westminster campus to a home builder or any other buyer that would not run the music school there, the group’s lawyer said Friday. “If the campus is closed as a result of a merger or sale, litigation will ensue,” said Bruce I. Afran, attorney for the Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College in Princeton, during a press conference at which former Gov. Thomas H. Kean announced he was the honorary chairman of the group. “If the campus is merged with another academic entity that runs the school here, then that’s a good outcome.” The threat of a lengthy, drawn out lawsuit comes with Rider looking for a buyer for the music school,

ideally to keep it in Princeton. Earlier this year, the university announced it would end its 25-year-relationship with Westminster. “Since the board meeting on March 28, Rider University, working closely with the Board of Trustees and an outside firm, has made significant progress in our search to identify institutions willing to acquire Westminster Choir College,” university spokeswoman Kristine A. Brown said Friday by email. “To date, we have received multiple proposals that will be evaluated by a committee of the Board of Trustees throughout the summer.” The coalition is interested in seeing Westminster return to becoming an independent school, the way it was before merging with Rider in 1992. Donors have stepped forward to offer contributions if the music school can be saved. “The coalition has made an offer that, if no other so-

lution is acceptable to Rider, the coalition would accept a spin-off of Westminster and has said it will share up to fifty percent of its endowment with Rider,” he said. “So we’re making an offer that if Rider can’t or won’t keep Westminster and another school won’t pay to merge, we’re making an ofter to spin off the school.” Afran added the Coalition had experts and administrators, including past dean Robert L. Annis, able to run the school and cover Rider’s $10 million deficit from the Westminster endowment of $20 million. In turning to Afran, the coalition went with a wellknown local public interest attorney with a track record for taking on big institutions. More recently, he led legal fights against Princeton University, challenging its property tax exemption, and the Institute for Advanced Study, regarding its faculty housing project on part of the Princeton Battle-

field. In both cases, the suits were settled. Afran warned that any attempt by Rider to “close the campus through sale will trigger that litigation.” He also pointed to the costs involved for Rider to sell the real estate, including repaying the state $5 million to “recoup” the investment the Christie administration had made in a building that had been built on campus. “And we’ve said we prefer (Westminster) to be a part of Rider, we prefer these two faculties to stay together, these students to stay together,” he said. “We prefer, if that is not possible from Rider’s point of view, that the institution be sold or merged with another academic institution or it be spun off.” “What my clients will not accept is the closing of this campus,” he continued, “for one very simple reason. There’s no financial need to do so.” He said that while Rider

is struggling financially, Westminster is not. “The solution is not to close down an entity of Rider that is actually thriving now,” Afran said. Rider had indicated that if a future buyer of Westminster only wants the music school, then it would look to sell the real estate to a third party. The Princeton school district has expressed interest in a more than 20-acre parcel as the site of a new school, on land contiguous with Princeton High School and John Witherspoon Middle School. But for the coalition, that scenario would also end up in a lawsuit. “Let me say absolutely and without any ambiguity, an option for the Board of Education to buy this campus and turn it into a public school campus or a community education campus is not on our table,” Afran said. “That will provoke absolute litigation. And that will, unfortunately, pit part

of the community against another part.” For Rider’s part, Brown said that “it remains our highest priority to find an institution that is willing to acquire Westminster Choir College and keep it in Princeton.” “Throughout this process we have been open to any and all proposals that meet the criteria,” she said. As for Kean, he said Westminster needs “saving.” He was approached by members of the coalition to take on an honorary role with the group. “The governor’s help is a remarkable gift to us,” said coalition President Constance Fee, “and we are so grateful for that.” “It’s a wonderful, wonderful institution known worldwide,” he said. “If New York was about to lose Juilliard, we’d hear it so much. We should hear the same thing in New Jersey if we’ve got a problem with Westminster.”

ANOSMIA Fresh bread baking, hot coffee in the morning, and the tangy scent of newly cut grass. What do all of these things have in common? They are all smells that most people find to be appealing; most people, that is, except those who suffer from anosmia. Anosmia is the medical term for the loss of the sense of smell. What is smell? Smell happens when a person inhales molecules that attach to special receptors in the nose and trigger nerves that connect to the brain. Often the common cold, other illnesses, the flu, hay fever, and sinusitis can interfere with this sophisticated form of communication, as can polyps, tumors, and damage to the brain or nerves. In cases of anosmia caused by sinus infections, antibiotics can clear up the sinus infection and cure the anosmia. It may require many months of antibiotic treatment for the sense of smell to return. Currently, there’s no known cure or treatment for congenital anosmia. To schedule an appointment please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-921-8766. The office is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton. Our website, www.drrober tplatzman.com, has more information about our practice. P.S. Sometimes anosmia can be an indicator of mortality. Check with your doctor if you experience any loss of smell.

Advocates of America. The Princeton Police Department is one of several Mercer County police departments that have initiated a partnership with Recovery Advocates of America. The nonprofit group attempts to reduce the stigma of addiction and provides a safe haven for addicts as they try to overcome their addictions. Princeton police officers who come into contact with someone who shows signs of addiction - either physical signs or through their behavior, such as repeated driving-whileintoxicated offenses or

criminal behavior to support their addictions - will ask the person if they want help in fighting the addiction. If the person says they need help, Recovery Advocates of America will be contacted immediately. A representative will respond within an hour to help start the recovery process. If the person is not in jail, the process can begin the same day. Help is also available to someone who is in jail. “We feel this will help people who are suffering from addiction. It’s a revolving door and they are not getting help. We are

confident this will work,” Police Chief Nicholas Sutter said. There is no “down side” to the new program, which allows the police officer who makes contact with the person a chance to offer help, Chief Sutter said. While the program is aimed at addiction in general, Chief Sutter said, “what we are seeing (most) is opioid addiction, but we can use it for any addiction.” Michael Ziccardi, who is the founder of Recovery Advocates of America, said the group is pleased to

have a chance to implement the Princeton C.A.R.E. program with the Princeton Police Department. “Together, we look forward to making a difference in the community to help save people from the horrors of addiction,” Ziccardi said. In addition to the Princeton Police Department, the other Mercer County police departments that have joined forces with Recovery Advocates of America include East Windsor, West Windsor, Ewing, Hopewell and Robbinsville.

AvalonBay loses appeal on affordable housing dispute By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

AvalonBay must price 56 rental units at its Witherspoon Street development at below market rate for at least 30 years, an appeals court decided Tuesday in upholding a lower court’s ruling and handing Mayor Liz Lempert a victory to protect tenants. A three-judge panel waded into the latest dispute between the town and AvalonBay, this time concerning how long that affordable housing restriction had to remain in place. Wednesday’s decision means the town will have the ultimate say in how long those units stay at below market rate,

although it was not known if AvalonBay intended to appeal to the state Supreme Court. Mayor Lempert said Wednesday that she was “gratified” by the decision. “Everybody wants their home to be a stable place,” she said. “And I think it’s important that most all of Princeton’s affordable housing is affordable in perpetuity. And that means that people don’t have to worry about getting evicted after some artificial thirty-yearperiod.” AvalonBay Vice President Jon Vogel could not be reached for comment. The issue centered around a municipal ordinance and the developer’s

agreement Princeton and understanding,” she said. AvalonBay had reached in “I’m not sure how that got April 2014, both of which in there.” conflicted with But a lower state regulations. court found, and The agreethe appeals court ment said, in agreed, that the part, that the 56 ordinance and units would be the agreement affordable “for were pre-empted 30 years”, in line by state regulawhat the orditions, known as nance called for.

tions trumped the ordinance and the developer’s agreement, the lower court and then the appeals court concluded. Princeton had relied on those regulations when in a dispute with AvalonBay about a deed restriction on the property. The town wanted language in the document saying the 56 units would be affordable for “at least 30 years.” AvalonBay, concerned for its financial bottom line, wanted the document to say the restriction would be in place for 30 years, and did not want to give the town a blank check to keep the units affordable forever. The company signed, under protest, the deed re-

striction because it would not get building permits unless the issue was settled, the appeals court opinion said. AvalonBay sued the town, the planning board and Mayor Lempert and the Council in Mercer County Superior Court, and appealed the lower court’s ruling that went the town’s way in December 2015. In a 17-page-decision, the appeals court judges said they were “satisfied that it was reasonable and appropriate for defendants to require compliance with the UHAC regulations in the deed restriction.” Later, the judges wrote the “developer’s agreement cannot override UHAC.”

School district pledges to hire more minorities By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said last week that the district would hire more minorities as teachers and administrators, in a school system where more than 85 percent of the faculty is white. “We know that having teachers of color in our classroom helps every single student,” Cochrane said June 7 during what was advertised as a “community conversation on racism,” focusing on the public schools. The forum came in the aftermath of a series of racial incidents involving Princeton High School students. He said the makeup of the teaching staff is 86 percent white, with the rest other races. He said he would “love” for that figure to mirror the composition of the student body, which is 55 percent white, 6 percent black, 7 percent Hispanic, 9 percent mixed race and 20 percent Asian. Yet Cochrane pointed to “challenges,”

where nationally, whites make up 82 percent of teachers in public schools. “There is a shortage of teachers of color in the pipeline to come through to get their teaching degrees and to get into the system,” he said. The district, he continued, seeks out minorities at recruiting fairs, and even holds one such fair at John Witherspoon Middle School. “We had the conversation about the importance of hiring teachers of color, administrators of color, at our admin team meeting this week,” Cochrane said. “There is a commitment. And this community will see a change come September.” The school board on Tuesday hired Luis Ramirez to be the next principal at Littlebrook Elementary School, to replace Annie Gonzalez Kosek, who got promoted to the central office as an assistant superintendent. During last’s week’s discussion, Joy Barnes-Johnson, a black teacher at the

high school and fellow panelist along with Cochrane — touched on the dearth of minority teachers in Princeton. Jamaica Ponder, a black Princeton High School senior and fellow panelist, said the last teacher of color she had in the district was in the seventh grade. Ponder, the daughter of former Princeton Mayor Michele Tuck-Ponder, has written about some notable racial incidents in the community, including on her blog exposing the now infamous Nazi-themed beer drinking game that some high school students were playing at a private home last year. More recently, she wrote about a high school student writing the n-word on Snapchat, an issue that came up Wednesday. “It didn’t surprise any of us,” Ponder said of the incident. “What was surprising was that it was given attention, because this stuff happens all the time. And the fact of the matter is, unless I go and write about it, no one does anything, no one says

anything, no one cares.” “So we feel the racial tensions that students feel,” said Barnes-Johnson in speaking for minority teachers. Wednesday’s community meeting, held inside the middle school auditorium, drew a noticeable presence of past and current school board members to hear, often times, unflattering things said of a school system that they had or continue to have a hand in leading. In many ways, it is a school system that Cochrane is seeking to change. In terms of weaving race into classroom education, he said officials would do things with curriculum “to ensure that every student — white, black, brown — is going to have the opportunity to learn the language, learn the skills, to be able to talk about race.” For in-

stance, the social studies curriculum at the high school would be changed so that freshmen start with a unit on race in America and then use it as a “touchstone as we move through the entire curriculum, which is as the theme of race running powerfully, tragically and triumphantly through it,” he said. But Elliot Wailoo, a biracial high school student, asked, among other things, when the history curriculum would include more about “everyone’s history” as opposed to just “white America.” “I do feel like, especially in advanced history courses, the history of people of color in America is kind of boiled down to slavery, the Trail of Tears, Japanese internment, civil rights movement — those kind of smaller groups,” Wailoo said. “We’re looking k(inder-

garten) through twelve at how we have a very balanced approach to the books that we offer to students and the way in which we teach US and global history,” Cochrane said. “So we have our work cut out for us, but we are committed to doing it.” Cochrane also promised an “incredible sea change” in next year’s summer reading list for students, in the “diversity represented on that list, diversity around race and culture and gender.” Wednesday’s event included a presentation by local historian Shirley Satterfield on the history of Princeton recalling when public schools were racially segregated, an arrangement that lasted until the late 1940s. As a girl, she attended a segregated school in town until moving to an integrated school for the third grade.

STATE WE’RE IN

Defend public health, safety in state budget By Michele S. Byers

The Trump administration’s proposal to cut funding for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will directly impact federal safeguards for clean water, air and natural resources in this state we’re in. The proposal would roll back decades of progress in protecting public health and environmental quality. Here in New Jersey, we too are debating the impact of cuts to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection proposed by Governor Christie’s administration. And since New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection gets significant funding from the EPA, the impacts to New Jersey would be magnified. Over the past two decades, staffing at the Department of Environmental Protection an agency entrusted with safeguarding our state’s clean water and air, protecting wildlife and providing public recreation at parks and natural areas - has been sharply reduced year after year. From a high of 4,000 employees in the 1990s, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection operates with less than 2,700 today. The result is less capacity to carry out the agency’s many functions, from stopping polluters to protecting threatened and endangered species to keeping bathrooms open at our parks. Governor Christie’s proposed budget would cut Department of Environmental Protection staffing even further. The New Jersey League of Conservation Voters testified before the state Assembly that New Jersey is put at risk by the proposed funding cuts. “These reductions in capacity are dangerous and weaken the department’s ability to protect our natural resources, water and land,” according to Drew Tompkins, public policy coordinator for the League. The governor’s proposed budget is even more alarming, he added, because it doesn’t take into account reduced revenue from the federal government. This one-two punch from the Christie and Trump administrations would worsen what is already a difficult situation. New Jersey is the nation’s most densely populated state, with a history of industrial pollution, including more Superfund cleanup sites than any other state. To make matters worse, the Christie administration’s raiding of dedicated funds has depleted funding for clean energy and the cleanup of contaminated sites. The state’s Clean Energy Fund takes in about $350 million a year from surcharges to consumers’ gas and electric bills, and is supposed to be used to improve energy efficiency and promote clean, renewable energy sources. But much of this fund has been diverted to fill gaps in the state budget’s General Fund. It’s critical that the Legislature take action to modify Governor Christie’s budget. Our legislators should take this opportunity to send a strong message to the public and this year’s gubernatorial candidates that New Jersey must protect clean water, clean air, land and the health of its citizens - and push for a clean energy future. We cannot depend on the EPA to do it for us.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR More detailed response needed on affordable housing mandate To the editor: For the past month, I have been asking Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker if he supports efforts to lessen the crushing burden of the state’s affordable housing mandate (COAH). Suburban towns may be forced to build thousands and thousands of addition units regardless of the devastating impact of such development. Unfortunately, Zwicker’s reply to date has been very disappointing. He eventually signed on to support one minor piece of COAH legislation (Assembly Bill #3821), but to my knowledge has done nothing publicly to push for its adoption. After 18 months in office, that’s all he had done regarding this critical issue. Passively following the lead of his colleagues in the 16th District - Sen. Kip Bateman and Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli - and co-sponsoring A3821, which only addresses the gap period and not the foundational question of how the mandate is calculated and imposed, is not enough. We need our legislative delegation to aggressively move on this issue. So, where are Zwicker’s new ideas? Where is his new proposed legislation? Specifically, how many units does he think Montgomery should be forced to build in the future? Bateman, Ciattarelli, and his predecessor, former Assemblywoman Donna Simon, all worked on comprehensive affordable housing reform packages including efforts to revive regional con-

SOLUTIONS

tribution agreements (commonly called RCA’s), adopt clear methodologies to be used when determining compliance, and strengthening a town’s ability to defend itself in court if they have already met their need. Does Zwicker support RCA’s? The residents of Montgomery want to know what steps he has taken to solve this potential crisis. Local elected officials cannot lead effectively when Trenton hands us nothing more than uncertainty and the constant threat of litigation. It may interest Zwicker to know that while we face a staggering affordable housing obligation, many of our current COAH units sit vacant. Basic economics would dictate that we should not be forced to create more affordable housing units when the current units are not even in demand. Does he agree with this principle? Rather than artificially controlling the price of housing, many of us would like to see Zwicker and his colleagues reform the state budget and school funding. This would allow us to achieve meaningful property tax relief and make housing more affordable throughout New Jersey. We deserve a more detailed response from Assemblyman Zwicker. Otherwise, we will be forced to conclude that he doesn’t care about the issue nor Montgomery’s future wellbeing.

World of EVs is rapidly developing, improving Princeton inaugurated its first Electrical Vehicle (EV) charging station June 14 in the Spring Street Garage, a facility open to all once they sign up (online) with the operating company, Chargepoint Inc. Mayor Liz Lempert expressed satisfaction that the town had not only found the sponsors to complete the project but that it was joining other towns and states in addressing global warming, in this case by installing infrastructure to make EVs more viable for local residents and other drivers. This project, however modest a first step, did not happen overnight. Sustainable Princeton’s Program Director Christine Symington spent much time and effort finding sponsors ( which include a grant from NJ’s DEP, support from Chargepoint Inc., BMW, and Coolvines,) a location, and facility operator, along with shepherding the proposal through the town government and working with the town’s Department of Infrastructure and Operations. If the charging station proves popular, the town will look at other stations and sites. (A second, private site exists at the Princeton Shopping Center adjacent to Nomad Pizza. There too, users must open an account or register credit cards with the center’s operator. More information is available through the shopping center’s local office.) Within the Spring Street entrance to the garage and slightly left, two spaces are now reserved for those wishing to charge their EVs. The charging hardware is the common, Level 1 connectors and voltage. Chargers will be limited to four hours to enable other users access, and, as with other garage patrons, chargers will pay a parking fee. The charging fee will be billed to the EV owner’s Chargepoint ac-

count. Tesla owners need their own connector and charging system. The underlying purpose of this project is to take local action to encourage EV usage. These new stations will allow shoppers and diners to charge their EVs while in downtown Princeton. Vehicle emissions in New Jersey contribute a significant proportion of our local CO2 levels, variously estimated as being between 30 percent and 50 percent. Greater EV usage would reduce that level, and the side effects associated with those emissions. A representative from Nassau Street’s Climate Central attending the following reception noted that the number of manufacturers offering EVs is increasing rapidly and the prices for these cars are falling, while their ranges are increasing and batteries improving. Also noted was that because New Jersey has a relatively clean mix of electric power (including natural gas, nuclear, and wind, as well as coal) it is clearly environmentally beneficial for residents to drive EVs. In fact, in our state, it is 70 percent to 80 percent cleaner to drive EVs than it is to drive gas-powered cars. In addition, because EVs do not require the not-insignificant gasoline expenditures nor the potentially expensive regular servicing, purchasing or leasing them is competitive in cost with gaspowered cars, and cleaner. This EV driver recharges his car in his garage, from a regular outlet, although the manufacturers recommend a designated line. Other EV owners have taken it a step further by installing solar panels to recharge their EVs. From the many available sources of information, it is clear that that the world of EVs is rapidly developing and improving.

Changes proposed for Princeton High School By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton High School should begin the academic year a week earlier before Labor Day and have a later daily starting time, principal Gary Snyder told the Board of Education Tuesday as part of a series of recommendations to change the way the school operates. Schedule and other proposed changes come at a time when high school students have said they are overworked, get little sleep and feel stressed out. The school board, in particular board president Patrick Sullivan, was looking to Snyder for both short-and long-term solutions to change the climate at PHS. In his anticipated report, Snyder outlined steps, for the coming school year and

beyond, based on the work of a committee at PHS that he and others served on. The proposed schedule changes - pushing up the start of school and starting the school day at 8:20 a.m. instead of the current 7:50 a.m. - would take effect in 2018. He said the committee believed that pushing up the start of the school year would provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;a more valuable instructional week than this last week in June.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand the ramifications of what that might mean,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;re looking at and making the recommendation that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2018 more than a year away for adjustments that might need to happen.â&#x20AC;? As for when the school day begins, he said educational research has found

the ideal time would be 8:30 a.m., although the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation is slightly different. It was not immediately clear what impact this will have, logistically, for transporting students from Cranbury to Princeton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have time, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be implemented for a year,â&#x20AC;? said Evelyn Spann, the Cranbury representative to the school board, after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Gary, thoughtfully, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any quick changes.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a big deal for us, we will have to figure it out,â&#x20AC;? she said. For her part, Cranbury Chief School Administrator Susan Genco said Wednesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will do whatever needs to be done if it is in the best interest of the students.â&#x20AC;?

In terms of other parts of Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation, Class periods - both in the morning and in the afternoon - would rotate, to break up the routine â&#x20AC;&#x153;so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the same thing day in and day out,â&#x20AC;? he said. That would be another change for 2018, along with having the length of classes vary to long and short periods. A change in the next school will see a morning break for students. As for the homework load, Snyder said ninthgrade teachers this summer will be working at reducing homework hours. Students have said, in a recent survey, that they average around three to three-1/2 hours of homework a night. Sullivan said a board committee is looking at having a guideline that

freshmen get about 90 minutes of homework a night, and that Snyder develop a methodology to measure homework for each grade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much homework people are doing, how can we ever do anything to adjust that?â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said at one point. The committee that Snyder and others served on originally was charged with studying the bell schedule at PHS. It evolved into something more, to looking at changing instruction and assessment, among other things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But for weeks and maybe months,â&#x20AC;? Snyder said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was a bell schedule committee that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about bell schedules.â&#x20AC;? He and others sought to look deep at making structural changes, to modernize

the high school and the education students that receive, from a 20th-century approach to a 21st-centurymodel. The modern approach, he offered, provides â&#x20AC;&#x153;more open spaces, both in time and in physical space.â&#x20AC;? He spoke of having â&#x20AC;&#x153;performance assessmentsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;less pencil and paper tests,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;more experiential learningâ&#x20AC;? as opposed to all book-learning in class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted and we have been creative to come up with our own solutions, to let our minds work and to make connections and to bounce ideas off of each other,â&#x20AC;? Snyder said of how the committee functioned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about large change that we want to be sustainable change and, therefore, it cannot happen overnight.â&#x20AC;?

Students get a lesson in inquiry-based discovery Chase curiosity. Science teachers at Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Witherspoon Middle School recently took this approach to engage about 240 students in environmental science. By teaming up with the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, the lessons became real, immediate and relevant. The sixth-graders assessed habitat in open fields, dappled forests and in the Stony Brook. They also tested the composition of soil samples, and oxygen levels in various waterways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This water has oxygen levels of two parts per million,â&#x20AC;? said sixth-grader Justin Musyimi who measured water from a pond.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What does that mean? If you had one million tennis balls, two would be oxygen molecules.â&#x20AC;? After gathering the data, the students examined their evidence and discussed if a specific fish, tree or crayfish would survive. Teacher Jacques Bazile said the inquiry-based discovery gives students traction in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecology unit. The new science standards arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking for just one answer, he said, but answers that are supported by data. This experience â&#x20AC;&#x153;is taking science and actually applying it,â&#x20AC;? Bazile said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have these concepts and facts and apply them in this open,

real-world lab.â&#x20AC;? The hands-on approach lead to discussions of biotic and abiotic factors, water chemistry, and the effect of soil composition on plant growth, said Jeff Hoagland, Education Director at the Watershed. He had students take core samples of soil. Next, they compared their samples with the jars filled with clay, silt and organic matter. Jim Waltman, Executive Director of the Watershed, said the 930-acre reserve provides a living classroom where students can learn scientific practices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students learn best when they are engaged in real world issues, not just

Regular dental checkups and conscientious oral care at home can pay big overall health dividends. The latest evidence of these benefits comes from a studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finding that â&#x20AC;&#x153;acute coronary syndromeâ&#x20AC;? (sudden blockage in the blood supply to the heart) is 2.7 times more likely among those with infections at the tip of a tooth root, even if there are no evident symptoms. Dental examinations of people suffering from acute coronary syndrome (with symptoms of shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, and nausea) revealed that over half (58 percent) suffered from inflammatory lesions at a toothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s root tip, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;apical periodontitis.â&#x20AC;? An estimated one person in four suffers from at least one tooth infection, with cavities as the most common cause.

Princeton hereby certifies that it has adopted a capital budget or a temporary capital budget, as applicable. The capital or temporary capital budget of Princeton is hereby amended to conform with the provisions of this bond ordinance to the extent of any inconsistency herewith.

Section 6. The following additional matters are hereby determined, declared, recited and stated: (a) The improvements or purposes described in Section 3 of this bond ordinance are not current expenses. They are improvements or purposes that Princeton may lawfully undertake as self-liquidating purposes of a municipal public utility. No part of the cost thereof has been or shall be specially assessed on property specially benefitted thereby. (b) The average period of usefulness, computed on the basis of the respective amounts of obligations authorized for each purpose and the reasonable life thereof within the limitations of the Local Bond Law, is 6.91 years (c) The Supplemental Debt Statement required by the Local Bond Law has been duly prepared and filed in the office of the Clerk, and a complete executed duplicate thereof has been filed in the office of the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs of the State of New Jersey. Such statement shows that the gross debt of Princeton as defined in the Local Bond Law is increased by the authorization of the bonds and notes provided in this bond ordinance by $115,000, but that the net debt of Princeton determined as provided in the Local Bond Law is not increased by this bond ordinance. The obligations authorized herein will be within all debt limitations prescribed by the Local Bond Law. (d) An aggregate amount not exceeding $5,000 for items of expense listed in and permitted under N.J.S.A. 40A:2-20 is included in the estimated cost indicated herein for the purpose or improvement. (e) This bond ordinance authorizes obligations of Princeton solely for purposes described in N.J.S.A. 40A:2-7(h). The obligations authorized herein are to be issued for purposes that are deemed to be self-liquidating pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:2-47(a) and are deductible from the gross debt of Princeton pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:2-44(c). Section 7. Princeton hereby declares the intent of Princeton to issue bonds or bond anticipation notes in the amount authorized in Section 2 of this bond ordinance and to use the proceeds to pay or reimburse expenditures for the costs of the purposes described in Section 3 of this bond ordinance. This Section 7 is a declaration of intent within the meaning and for purposes of Treasury Regulations. Section 8. Any grant moneys received for the purposes described in Section 3 hereof shall be applied either to direct payment of the cost of the improvements or to payment of the obligations issued pursuant to this bond ordinance. The amount of obligations authorized but not issued hereunder shall be reduced to the extent that such funds are so used. Section 9. The chief financial officer of Princeton is hereby authorized to prepare and to update from time to time as necessary a financial disclosure document to be distributed in connection with the sale of obligations of Princeton and to execute such disclosure document on behalf of Princeton. The chief financial officer is further authorized to enter into the appropriate undertaking to provide secondary market disclosure on behalf of Princeton pursuant to Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruleâ&#x20AC;?) for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of obligations of Princeton and to amend such undertaking from time to time in connection with any change in law, or interpretation thereof, provided such undertaking is and continues to be, in the opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel, consistent with the requirements of the Rule. In the event that Princeton fails to comply with its undertaking, Princeton shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and the remedy shall be limited to specific performance of the undertaking. Section 10. The full faith and credit of Princeton are hereby pledged to the punctual payment of the principal of and the interest on the obligations authorized by this bond ordinance.

Continued from Page 1 beer-drinking game, she has written on other race-related issues. But it has a come at a cost. According to the Ponder family, eggs were thrown at their home three times last summer; Jamaica Ponder has been harassed by fellow students in the hallways at school; and she has been accused of harassment, intimidation and bullying by anonymous people, also at the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the culmination of a number of attempts to intimidate and harass Jamaica,â&#x20AC;? said her father by phone Monday. He said the school â&#x20AC;&#x153;is sending a message to my daughter and other children of color and their allies that they should be quiet about the racial ignorance and intolerance of their peers.â&#x20AC;? Ponder said he and his daughter had met Monday with high school Principal Gary Snyder, who did not indicate who was offended by his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collage. Ponder said he wants to see the suspension rescinded, and the family went to head of the school district this week to have it repealed. For his part, Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane on Monday would not discuss the Ponder case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I am not able to comment on the discipline of any particular student, I remain committed to joining with others in fostering racial literacy in our schools and in our community,â&#x20AC;? he said in a text message Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I am proud of all

our students who continue to help us learn and grow.â&#x20AC;? To Rhinold Ponder, the incident involving his daughter is about something much bigger: how minorities feel anger toward and disconnected from the school system - something that has been the case for years. In Princeton, once home to racially segregated public schools until the late 1940s, the current student enrollment is 55 percent white and the rest made up of all other groups. Asians are the next largest demographic, at 20 percent, while blacks make up 6 percent. The timing of the Ponder suspension came the same week the district had sought to focus on racism in the community. She was a panelist during a community discussion on the issue on June 7, but the next day, she wrote in the magazine about the yearbook issue and getting called to Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. On Sunday, she then wrote about her suspension. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Princeton High School,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is sending the public a message: Jamaica Ponder can and will be stopped.â&#x20AC;? She served her one-day suspension on Monday, her father said. Mayor Liz Lempert, at her regular press conference Monday, said she â&#x20AC;&#x153;was shockedâ&#x20AC;? to read that Ponder had been punished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I was confused by it,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Lempert, who offered that she has some â&#x20AC;&#x153;calls outâ&#x20AC;? about the matter. She did not elaborate on whom she had tried to contact.

In the event that it is contended by the Engineer or by the owner or occupant of any house or building that the calculation of the service charge upon the basis of metered water does not fairly reflect the amount of the sewage discharge into the sanitary sewage system, either because it discharges into the system from sources other than metered water or because of elimination from the system of metered water that is disposed or elsewhere, the sewer service charge may be adjusted for good cause shown, by filing first an administrative appeal to the Tax Collector and then to the Sewer Operating Committee upon written application of the owner or occupant after hearing on notice to the Tax Collector. However, no such application shall be considered unless it is filed with the Tax Collector before December 31 of the service year in question.

MONTGOMERY

Initially non-renewed, teacher gets one-year deal By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Melissa Hodgson, the supervisor for social studies at Montgomery High School whose non-renewal had created a furor in recent weeks, has been approved for that position for the 2017-18 school year. The Montgomery Township Board of Education approved Hodgson for another year, along with other teachers, substitute teach-

ers, paraprofessionals and other employees at its meeting Tuesday night. Hodgson had been told in April that she would not be renewed for the 201718 school year, which drew protests and calls for her renewal from Montgomery High School teachers, students and parents at several school board meetings. Hodgson and her attorney, Robert Schwartz, requested an informal

appearance before the school board at its May 23 meeting to make the case for her renewal for the next school year. At the May 23 meeting, Hodgson and her attorney challenged the reasons behind the non-renewal. After going into a closed-door meeting to discuss the issue, the school board returned and offered her a renewal. Hodgson offered a letter of resignation - which would take effect June 30,

2018 - as a condition of employment for the 201718 school year when she appeared before the school board last month. The school board accepted the offer, pending official action at its June 13 meeting. Tuesday night, before the school board took action, several township residents continued to call on the board to offer Hodgson the position of social studies supervisor for 2017-18.

Their comments were made during the public comment segment of the meeting. Several audience members pointed to the effect it has had on Hodgson’s personal life and professional life. Her career and reputation have been put into jeopardy because of the issue of non-renewal, they said. Grace Lee told the school board that as a parent, she was not happy that the board was going to offer

Hodgson a one-year probationary term. She had proven herself over the past four years that she worked in that job, Lee said. It has had an effect on Hodgson’s personal life and professional life, Lee said, and the only way to “rectify” it is to offer her a renewal without conditions. School board president Richard Cavalli replied that the issue is not a simple one. It is a complex issue that has nuances.

Gartenberg named county ‘Superintendent of the Year’ By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Obviously pleased and happy, Superintendent of Schools Nancy Gartenberg was honored by the Montgomery Township Board of Education on her selection as the Somerset County Superintendent of the Year Tuesday night. Gartenberg was named as the county’s top school superintendent by the Somerset County Association of School Administrators, which means she is in the

running to be named as the New Jersey Central Regional Superintendent of the Year. The winner of the Central Regional Superintendent of the Year will compete against the winners of the other two state regions Northern and Southern - to be named the New Jersey Superintendent of the Year. Nick Markarian and Jorden Schiff, who are the superintendents of the Bernards Township and Hillsborough Township school districts, respec-

tively, made the announcement at the school board’s Tuesday night meeting. There was a round of applause for Gartenberg punctuated by a cowbell that was rung by an audience member - after Markarian and Schiff made the announcement. Gartenberg smiled. Markarian, who is the president of the Somerset County superintendents association, praised Gartenberg for her passion for children, her knowledge and expertise, and her self-

motivation. “She is an inspiration for me and for her superintendent peers,” Markarian said. School board president Richard Cavalli also praised Gartenberg. “I have built a collaborative relationship with Nancy over the last five years as a parent of three students, a school board member and as president of the Montgomery Township Board of Education,” Cavalli said. “Over this time, I have been most impressed by Nancy’s passion to elevate

the achievement and experience of all our students,” Cavalli said. Gartenberg has served as the Montgomery Township superintendent of schools since 2012. She began her career as a middle school teacher in the Hamilton Township school district. She was hired as an assistant principal at the J.P. Case Middle School in the Flemington-Raritan school district and then became the school’s principal. Gartenberg served as the superintendent of the South

Hunterdon Regional High School District from 2007 to 2012. Among her accomplishments in the Montgomery Township school district, Gartenberg and her leadership team studied the special education program, strengthening its autism program and also hiring a reading specialist to help students with dyslexia. Gartenberg also led the effort to pass a bond ordinance for $18.5 million for school building upgrades and repairs.

Township purchases land once targeted for pottery factory By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A pair of pillars, sitting forlorn on County Route 601 near Pleasant View Road, are the only reminders of a proposed pottery factory and housing for its workers that was planned by pottery manufacturer Charles H. Cook more than 100 years ago. Cook, who was involved

in several pottery-making companies in Trenton in the late 1800s and early 1900s, wanted to build pottery factories in the Belle Mead section of Montgomery Township. The plan included providing housing for the workers. But the factories were never built and the workers never came. The land and its postage-stamp sized lots 20 feet by 100 feet - sat dor-

mant and were acquired, in bits and pieces, by township resident and attorney Dix Skillman. Over the years, Skillman assembled the vacant lots. After his death in 2012, his widow, Virginia Skillman, held onto the lots that totaled 13-plus acres. Last month, Montgomery Township acquired the land that was supposed to be a city from Skillman’s

widow for $382,500 for open space preservation. The purchase of the property was funded with money from the township’s Open Space Trust Fund, in a partnership partnership with the state Green Acres Program. Montgomery Township officials are pleased with the recent acquisition of the 13.5-acre parcel of woods on County Route 601 and Broadway. “We are thrilled to close on this new open space acreage. It adds to the 800 acres of protected land surrounding Theodore Lubas Park,” Mayor Ed Trzaska said. Lubas Park includes a lighted baseball diamond, a picnic table, grills and restroom facilities on County Route 601. The former Skillman/Hillmont property is also near Somerset

County-owned open space, including the Sourland Mountain Preserve and land that was formerly owned by the Carrier Clinic. But back to the would-be pottery factories. Although Trenton has a long history of pottery manufacturing dating back to 1799, the pottery industry began in earnest in the 1850s. It was spurred by Trenton’s location on the Delaware & Raritan Canal, the Camden and Amboy Railroad, and the BelvidereDelaware Railroad. By 1883, there were nearly two dozen potteries in Trenton - including the Cook Pottery Co., which was owned by Charles H. Cook. He also bought another long-standing pottery company, and operated two plans that made dinnerware and fancy ware.

Cook sought to expand into the Belle Mead section of Montgomery Township, buying vacant land with the intention of creating a factory town. Potteries and factories were to be built on what is now Reading Boulevard, with housing for the workers nearby. Promoters ran free excursion trains from Trenton to Belle Mead to convince factory workers to buy lots on non-existent streets on time-payment plans, according to a Van Harlingen Historical Society document. But the improvements needed for a factory town to be built never materialized, and most of the workers lost their lots to tax foreclosures during the Great Depression. Cook’s pottery companies also folded during the Great Depression.

expansion “will only result in a two-percent reduction in the Board’s budget through 2022.” The Charter School welcomed Harrington’s ruling this week. Board chairman Paul Josephson on Wednesday called it “a pretty comprehensive rejection of the district’s arguments.“ For its part, the school

board will push ahead with its legal fight. “We’re going to continue our pursuing it through the courts, so we’re not going to appeal her decision,” school board President Patrick Sullivan said Tuesday. “She’s a political appointee of a Republican governor, so she’s not likely to overrule herself.”

Decision Continued from Page 1 some $1.1 million a year, to support the increase. But Harrington noted that Princeton is the “fifth-highest spending district” in New Jersey “for a district of its size,” at about $24,000 per pupil cost compared to the state average of $19,000. She said the enrollment

Four confirmed cases of rabid animals in township By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Within the last month, there have been four confirmed cases of rabid animals reported to the Montgomery Township Health Department - and that is reason for concern, according to Health Officer Stephanie Carey. That’s because four rabid animals is twice as many as usual, Carey said. Typically, there are two confirmed rabid animals in

a year’s time. “We only test when there is potential human or domestic animal contact with a wild animal (that is suspected to be rabid),” she said. The four animals that tested positive for rabies were a bat and a feral cat, which were found in Pennington Borough, and a raccoon and a groundhog that were found in Montgomery Township, Carey said. The Montgomery Township Health Department provides services to Pen-

nington, Hopewell and Rocky Hill boroughs, in addition to the township. Carey speculated that more suspected rabies cases have been reported this year because of more interaction between animals. More and more people and animals are “out and about” because of the warm weather, which means more potential interaction between them, she said. “The increase (in rabid animals) is troublesome,” Carey said. “People who come into contact with rabid

animals have to go to the hospital emergency room for shots. It’s a serious matter.” Animals that come into contact with rabid animals also have to get shots from the veterinarian, Carey said. That’s why it’s important to vaccinate pets - especially dogs and outdoor cats against rabies. Rabies is a deadly virus that attacks the nervous system, and is most often seen in wildlife such as raccoons, bats, skunks, groundhogs and foxes. Domestic ani-

mals, such as dogs, cats and ferrets, can get rabies if they are not vaccinated. “If a rabid animal bites you, or its saliva or tissue gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or any other open wound, you can get rabies. It is fatal, once symptoms begin,” Carey said. To reduce one’s chances of contracting rabies, Carey suggested avoiding contact with wild animals. Do not let pets roam freely. Cover garbage cans securely and do not leave pet food out-

side, she said. Prevent bats from entering the house. “If you find a bat, do not touch it. Only let it go if you are absolutely sure no people or household pets had any contact with it,” she said. Carey urged residents to call the Police Department if they see a wild animal that is behaving strangely or acting aggressively. The Police Department will call the Animal Control Officer, who will handle the matter.

PACKET BRIEFS Society vintage ‘base ball’ game set

Calling all baseball-lovers and history-buffs: the Historical Society of Princeton will present its annual 19th century “base ball” game on Saturday, June 24, starting at 11:00 a.m. at Greenway Meadows Park, 275 Rosedale Road, Princeton. The event is free and open to all; spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Part game, part show, part history lesson and all fun, the Flemington Neshanock and the Talbot Fairplays Base Ball Club of Maryland will play a competitive match of bare-handed baseball, wearing period uniforms and using rules from 1864 or 1873. The event will also include a short lesson on the history of the game and a recitation of “Casey at the Bat” by Brad “Brooklyn” Shaw. This year marks the eighth year the Historical Society has sponsored this event. “It’s a fun event for the whole family,” said Eve Mandel, Director of Programs and Visitor Services. “You can see how the game evolved over time. The ‘ballists’ (players) answer questions about the rules, and sometimes ‘cranks’ (spectators) get a chance to play.” For more information, visit princetonhistory.org.

Kids Marathon benefits PHCS

More than 130 young people, from preschoolers to 8th graders, finished a 1.2-mile Fun Run June 11 that served as the final leg of the 9th annual Princeton HealthCare System (PHCS) Kids Marathon. The fun run, sponsored by PHCS Community Education & Outreach and Princeton Fitness & Wellness Center, was held on the grounds of Educational Testing Service. Participants were able to register solely for the run, but most of the young runners were completing the Kids Marathon. Youngsters who signed up for the marathon began their efforts in April, attempting to run, walk or roll a total 25 miles—an average of 2.5 miles per week—over 10 weeks leading up to Race Day. They earned incentives for achieving milestones at 5, 10, 13.1, 20 and 25 miles. The 1.2-mile Fun Run completed the full distance of a marathon. Proceeds from the event benefit PHCS programs to promote wellness and prevent obesity and chronic disease among children.

Zwicker launches book drive

Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker is collecting books to distribute to local children in an effort to help students maintain achievement gains made during the school year. “Research shows that daily reading is one of the best ways to combat the summer slide and narrow the achievement gap, but so

many children have no age-appropriate books to read at home,” said Zwicker (D-Hunterdon/Mercer/Middlesex/Somerset). “Giving children the gift of a book to call their own is a small gesture that can improve literacy among young people and make our community stronger.” Book donations appropriate for students in kindergarten through grade 12 will be accepted through July 6 at Zwicker’s legislative district office, located at 23 Orchard Road, Skillman, NJ 08858. New books are preferred, but gently used books also will be accepted. Questions regarding the book drive may be directed to Zwicker’s office at 609-454-3147. Collection bins also will be available at certain local library locations. Interested parties may contact Zwicker’s office for details regarding dropping books off at a library. “Reading introduces young people to innovative ideas, feeding their innate curiosity and prompting a desire to learn even more,” said Zwicker. “All children deserve the opportunity to explore new worlds, challenge themselves and tap into their full potential through the pages of a book.”

Barrett captures MOC high jump crown By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Abrianna Barrett went into the Meet of Champions knowing she had a chance to win the high jump. The sophomore lived up to her own expectations as she cleared 5feet, 10-inches to equal her season best and come away with the gold medal at last Saturday’s MOC at Northern Burlington High School. “The day didn’t start out too well,” Barrett said. “I didn’t think it would be the day I would jump 510. The weather was nice but I thought it might be a little too hot and I would be drained of energy leading up to the jump. When i was jumping the lower heights I was clearing on my second or third attempt and everyone else was clearing on their first, so I wasn’t sure how the day would go.” The day wound up going as well as Barrett could imagine as she regrouped and came away with the high jump title. As the bat got higher, Barrett became more and more confident that she could win the event. “It made me a lot more confident because I knew I was the only one who had jumped 5-10 in the past and I knew I could do it again,” Barrett said. “I had done it before. I knew I could do it again and I did. When we got to 6-foot my first attempt was not that close but by the third attempt I was very close. I just have a few little things I need to correct. I feel like getting that extra jumping in at that height gets me more experience and will help me in the future.” For the Montgomery boys, Ryan Cashman was fourth in the triple jump with a distance of 465.75 and Tobi Sonaike finished 15th in the triple jump. The Cougars also finished 18th in the 4x100 relay. But this day belonged to Barrett, who is just starting to reach her potential as a sophomore. “At sectionals and groups I didn’t see my coach those weeks and didn’t get that practice in and only jumped 5-4,” Barrett said. “So I didn’t do as well as I could have. I was nervous going into the Meet of Champions. I wasn’t seeded where

Montgomery High sophomore Abrianna Barrett cleared 5-feet, 10-inches to win the high jump at the Meet of Champions last Saturday at Northern Burlington High School. I know I could have been. I saw my coach the week before the meet and that gave me a lot of confidence.” Barrett, who will compete in the East Regionals in North Carolina this weekend, will continue to work and hopefully put herself in a position to repeat at the MOC next year. “I will be attending some camps and go back to jump les-

sons outside of school with Mike Pascuzzo, who coaches high jumpers at Vertical Adventures. I go there on Sundays pretty regularly,” she said. That work has paid off for Barrett, who now has a title at the Meet of Champions. For Princeton High, Nils Wildberg finished sixth in the long jump

with an effort of 22-9.5, while Paul Brennan finished seventh in the discus with a 160-4 effort. Alex Roth finished eighth in the 3,200 meters, while Simon Schenk was 11th in the pole vault. Will Hare was 24th in the 1,600 meters. The Little Tigers finished 17th in the boys 4x800 relay, while the girls 4x400 relay finished 21st.

Cougars cap magical year with state doubles title By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

James Hopper and Chris Guo capped off a perfect year with a perfect performance. The Montgomery High doubles players completed an undefeated season by capturing the state doubles championship with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over the Mountain Lakes team of Ethan and Oliver Whang. The win in the state doubles tournament capped off a remarkable season for the Cougars, who as a team went undefeated to win the Tournament of Champions title. Montgomery had two of its singles players - Vishnu Joshi and Ishaan Ravichander - face each other in the state singles semifinals, with Joshi advancing to the final where he lost to West Windsor-Plainsboro South’s Robert Sinakowicz. The Cougars’ second doubles team of Liam Lynch and Philip Szkudlarski reached the semifinals of the doubles tournament before falling to the Whang brothers from Mountain Lakes. “It was a pretty incredible season,” Guo said. “I think the highlight was the TOC final and sharing that moment with our friends on the team and our family.” The doubles title was the second in the last three years for the Montgomery boys, who captured the title in 2015 when Zach Anderson and Nikil Poncha won the tournament. The Cougars clearly established themselves as the best team in the state this year and the sin-

gles and doubles tournaments helped solidify that as the Cougars players went into the semifinals in both tournaments. “By the end of the tournament we had played most of the teams in the regular season, so we knew what to expect,” Hopper said. “We knew we had to prepare ourselves for what we knew was coming. We knew every team would try their best and give us a tough fight. “We knew we had to be careful of everybody. But we also had to rely on our abilities to get us through, especially in the WW-P South match in the sectionals and also the Westfield match in the Group 4 semis where we went down a set. We had to trust our abilities to pull through.” Only twice this season did Guo and Hopper lose a set in a match. And in the state doubles tournament they won every match in straight sets. “With the undefeated season and the No. 1 seed we tried not to let that get into our head to much,” Guo said. “We knew anyone could beat us and we could beat anyone. We tried to stay humble and not go into any match overconfident.” This year’s Montgomery team was filled with so much talent it made practices as competitive as matches, which helped make everyone on the team better. “That led into our motivation for practice and how motivated we were,” Hopper said. “We knew when we were practicing that it would be the highest quality opponent we would face until near the end of the season. We had to

It seemed like a distant reality to win that and also win individual states. It all seems kind of surreal. “In the individual tournament even though we were seemingly on our own, with all the players we had in the semis it still felt like we had that team dynamic and that

helped us get through.” In the end, the Cougars had the kind of a season that may never be replicated again. They won the TOC as a team, had the state doubles champions. placed another doubles team in the semifinals and had singles players who reached the semifinals and finals. “I definitely feel like winning the team TOC was a lot more fun and exciting because you have the team atmosphere,” Hopper said. “Even though most of our team went deep in the individual tournament, you’re still competing for yourself. In the TOC you want to win for the school and knowing the school name will be there in the record books.”

Trio of MHS grads experience NCAA baseball tourney By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

For any college baseball player, having your team qualify for a spot in the NCAA tournament is a top goal every season. This past season, three Montgomery High graduates were able to realize that goal as their teams won their league tournaments and advanced to the NCAA tournament. Gavin Holloway’s St. John’s team qualified out of the Big East Conference, while Greg Kocinski and Matt Rubayo were both part of the Marist team that won the MAAC title. “It was the first time I was there playing great team like Vanderbilt and (UNCGreensboro),” said Hollowell, a pitcher for the Red Storm. “It was a great atmosphere to be around. There were packed stands for all the games. We started off with 3-1 lead over Vandy and then they got to our starter and put up an eight spot.” Playing in the Clemson Regional, the Red Storm dropped a 13-4 decision to Vanderbilt before being eliminated from the tournament with a 3-1 loss to

Montgomery High graduate Greg Kocinski started all 55 games this season for the Marist College Red Foxes baseball team

UNC-Greensboro. Hollowell did not pitch in either game of the tournament, but he did have a solid season for a Red Storm team that finished 42-13. A freshman, Hollowell was 2-1 with a 1.65 earned run average in 19 games, all in relief. He dinished with three saves, pitching 32 2/3 innings and finishing with 37 strikeouts and just 14 walks. “I was really happy with the season,” said Hollowell, who is playing this summer in the New England College

Baseball League. “The season finished well. I didn’t give up too many runs. I was mainly pitching in middle relief and I would fill the closer role every once in while. That was my role coming here out of high school. Now I am up here for the summer and I am starting. So we’ll see what happens.” Kocinski, a redshirt junior, started all 55 games this season for Marist, while Rubayo played off the bench as a freshman for the Red Foxes. Marist was 32-

23on the season, losing to host Florida, 10-6, and Bethune-Cookman, 4-2, in the Florida Regional after winning the MAAC championship. “It was an incredible experience,” said Kocinski, who batted 264 with two homes runs and 42 runs batted in, which was second on the team. “I like to think of it like March Madness in basketball. It’s the same concept for baseball. Only 64 teams go and we were lucky to be one of them. Being down in Florida with

so many top prospects, playing on that field and with their fans it was a great atmosphere. We gave them a great game. It was 7-6 in the eighth and we had a chance to win. I thought we played well. We had nothing to be ashamed of.” While Kocinski started every game for Marist, Rubayo spent his freshman season coming off the bench. He did make four starts and finished with a .158 batting average with four runs batted in. The run through the MAAC tournament and appearance in the NCAA tournament were both experiences that will never be forgotten. “It was incredible,” Rubayo said. “We were the two seed in the MAAC but I would say we were the favorite because we had beaten every team in the regular season series. There were a lot of good teams in the tournament. And then in the regional it was a great experience.” Kocinski’s career at Marist started slowly as he played in just four games as a freshman and 17 off the bench as a sophomore. He became a starter last season

but saw his year cut short by injury. This year he started from the opener and played in every game. “I was a role player up until last year and then I got hurt,” Kocinski said. “This was my first full year playing and it was a lot of fun to ride the waves of a full season and be a part of every game and feel like I had a part in it every game. It was what I was expecting going to college.” Because of his injury as a junior, Kocinski will have one more year to play with the Red Foxes. Rubayo’s career may follow a similar path to Kocinski. He was a bench player as a freshman and hopes to see his role expand in the future. The 2017 season was a successful one for all three MHS grads, who all shared the common thought that playing for the Cougars and the coaching staff led by head coach Pete Mueller helped get them prepared for the college level. “The coaching at Montgomery was great,” said Hollowell. “Everything they did was perfect and they prepared us so well for college.”

Summer basketball league gets ready for its for 29th season By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The Princeton Recreation Men’s Summer Basketball League begins the final season of its third decade with a bit of a changing of the guard. Gone are longtime league staples like the Ivy Inn and Dr. Palmer, two sponsors that have been with the league since 2002. As the league begins its 29th season, there are

some new faces and new leaders of teams. “Other leagues come and go, but we’re still here,” said league commissioner Evan Moorhead. “We’re at 29 years and counting. I am looking forward to capping off the end of our third decade with another summer of outstanding basketball at the Community Park courts.” This year the league will have eight teams, kicking off the season with a triple-

header on Monday night at Community Park in Princeton. Defending champion Majeski Foundation, made up of players from The College of New Jersey, is back to play for another title. Some of its players have graduated and formed another team, the Packer Hall All-Stars, whose roster includes former Lions Nick Brackett, Corey Stanford and Kevin Johnson. “Last year the story line

entering the season was whether the old guard teams of Ivy Inn and Dr. Palmer could hold off the young guns,” Moorhead said. “They were not able to and now they have decided to hang it up. This year the theme is the unknown with several new teams and only a few with a track record in our league. I anticipate we’ll see some familiar faces show up on those new teams but we won’t know

for sure until the season gets underway.” The PA Blue Devils and King’s Pizzarama are back to contend for a league title. League veterans managing new teams this season include Davon Black with Loyal Tees, Ethan Stewart with PEAC Performance, and Kyle Froehlich with Princeton Special Sports. Phil Vigliano also has a new league entry with NJAC, which includes former

Princeton High players Matt Hart and Mike Dowers. “I expect Majeski and the PA Blue Devils to be strong based on their returning players,“ Moorhead said. “King’s Pizza had a great run to the finals last year. But outside of those teams it is wide open. Despite the unknown, I am confident this will be a very competitive and entertaining league this season from top to bottom”

Music of the Land J.D Malone is one of the performers at this year’s Sourland Music Festival By Mike Morsch

.D Malone has discovered that the most important thing for songwriters is they have to constantly create, and hone their skills. So that’s what he does — he constantly creates. “I’ve heard it said so many times, beginning songwriters get caught up in the excitement of the inception of the idea,” Malone says. “What happens is that the inception of the idea is an amazing feeling, it’s a euphoria. But mature songwriters know that once that euphoria of the inception wears off, then comes the hard work of refinement. And that’s what most people don’t have, either the skill or the determination to push through.” Malone has both the skill and the determination to continue to push through the art of making music, and the result of those efforts will be on full display when J.D Malone and the Experts is one of the featured bands at the 14th annual Sourland Music Festival, presented by the “It’s kind of like when you’re trying to master Sourland Conservancy, June 17 at the Hillsborough an instrument, you have to learn the rules of the Golf and Country Club. instrument,” Malone says. “Then you want to be able The other artists performing that day include The to push the boundaries.

Making them the way they don’t anymore, this is a dandy, diverse set that you can tell comes right from the heart throughout. Check it out.” Malone said he’s looking forward to returning to the Sourland Music Festival, and he’s confident that his future looks bright. “I always say myself and to other people — and I really believe it — I feel the depth of my music career is yet to come,” he says. “Even though I may have already had some musically related awesome times, I feel the best is yet to come because I believe that my songwriting is getting better and better all the time.” For a lot of festival-goers, food is as important as the music. Food trucks and vendors will offer such dishes as pulled pork, burgers, hot dogs, kettle corn, cheesecake on a stick and more. Available at the adult beverage tent will be specialty drinks form Sourland Spirits, local beer, and award-winning wines from Unionville Vineyards. Discounts are available to attendees who buy a festival mug. Free water will be available. Bringing a refillable bottle is recommended. No coolers will be admited. New this year is a VIP experience including a buffet using locally sourced, sustainably grown food, a “Sourland Punch” and a Ryland Inn gift certificate. Proceeds from the festival help the Sourland Conservancy in its stewardship and advocacy initiatives. The Sourland’s 90-square-mile contiguous forest provides habitat for many threatened and endangered species. Sourland streams are headwaters of the Delaware and Raritan rivers that provide drinking water to millions of people.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

Oh, What a Knight! The Princeton Festival brings ‘Man of La Mancha’ to the Matthews Acting Studio

don’t know what it is with me and “Man of La Mancha,” but it just doesn’t get to me. Here’s a show about a dreamer who keeps dreaming despite the dreariness of the world around him, and who convinces a woman who’s given up on life to believe in herself. It’s the kind of story I get choked up over just thinking about, and it has some terrific music. But I’ve seen two versions of this legendary musical now and I’ve been unaffected both times. Having said that, if you’re like the millions of people who have made “Man of La Mancha“ a beloved part of the musical theater canon, you’re bound to love the production being presented by the Princeton Festival at the Matthews Acting Studio in Princeton through June 25. I can’t imagine having many opportunities to see performers so good in such an intimate setting. Photo by Jessi Franko Inspired by “Don Quixote,” “Man of La Mancha” was written by Dale Wasserman, Sandra Marante as Aldonza/Dulcinea and Jesse Malgieri as Don with music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Quixote/Alonso Quijana in “Man of La Mancha.” Joe Darion.

If found guilty, he hands over his posmate asks if being a poet is a crime. When powerful this production can be. Seeing the sessions, except a manuscript the others Cervantes says no, the inmate says, “too violence and the faces on the actors as they want to burn. The leader, known as the Govbad.” ernor, agrees. The actor uses his tools of the trade — makeup, costumes, props — to become Alonso Quijano, an older man who renames himself Don Quixote. Cervantes gets the other prisoners to help act out his play, and soon Quixote is at an inn where he meets Aldonza (Sandra Marante), who he thinks is Lady Dulcinea. As Quixote pledges his loyalty to Dulcinea, Aldonza, accustomed to being belittled, even abused, is skeptical, but part of her is intrigued by this would-be knight. The best scenes are between Jesse Malgieri as Quixote, Marante as Aldonza, and Jordan Bunshaft as Sancho Panza,

Quixote’s loyal sidekick. Aldonza knows Quixote is delusional, but she starts to believe in herself, and in some ways, for him. The studio is set up with black box staging — seating set up in front and at the sides of the performance space, with some action taking place in the catwalk. This set-up is so intimate you’re likely to be within a few feet of actors at some point. But, if you’re at the side seating (as I was on opening night), you’re likely to have your view impeded by an actor’s back at some point. During one key scene between Quixote and Aldonza, a pole was between the two of them. As for the people facing the front of the space, it seemed the use of bright lighting in one scene led to some audience members shading their eyes. But those are small prices to pay for such an intimate experience. The thrill of this production is seeing these actors up close. Marante is a standout as Aldonza. During the number “What Does He Want of Me” you sense the character’s humanity, her grappling with her well-earned cynicism, and the possibility that she is worthy of the admiration this false knight shows her. Malgieri holds the show together as Cervantes/Quixote. His voice is wonderful and he captures the essence of this character, the nobility, the pride, the optimism. Banshaft gets a lot of the show’s laughs as Sancho Panza and the actors who play the prisoners and various characters are all terrific, particularly Patrick James as the Governor/Innkeeper. Of course, the show has some good songs: “Man of Mancha,” “What Does He Want of Me” and, most famously, “The Impossible Dream.” It also has a quote from Quixote that resonates much differently today than the character intends: “Facts are the enemy of the truth.“

Don Quixote continues at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Matthews Acting Studio, 185 Nassau St., Princeton, through June 25. For tickets availability, call 609-258-2787.

Leadership and Morals Shakespeare â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70 is bringing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Measure for Measureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to Kelsey Theatre

he themes Shakespeare covers in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Measure for Measureâ&#x20AC;? include power, love, lust, leadership, and decaying morals. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about how leaders lose touch with their people, and hypocrisy in those who would judge and condemn others. In other words, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about how people havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed over the last 400 or so years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Measure for Measure,â&#x20AC;? which Shakespeare â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70 is performing June 23 to July 2 at Kelsey Theatre in West Windsor, is set in Vienna. Duke Vincentio (John Bergeron) is upset with the decline in morals he is seeing in his people. He puts his deputy Angelo (Ray Fallon) in charge while he supposedly goes on a diplomatic mission. In truth, he stays in Vienna, disguised as a friar. The newly in charge Angelo arrests Claudio (a role that will be shared by John Fischer and Michael Krahel) because Claudio impregnated his fiancĂŠ, Juliet (Kelly Colleran) before they were married. To set an example, Angelo sentences Claudio to death. Claudio has a sister, Isabella (Morgan Petronis), who is set to enter a nunnery. She pleads her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case to Angelo, who is taken by Isabella and makes a deal with her: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let Claudio go if she sleeps with him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you get into it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting to see that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change, people look at things in black-and-white and view themselves in black-and-white,â&#x20AC;? says Janet Quartarone, who is the assistant director for the production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then they learn something about themselves and go on a journey, and power can corrupt.

Quartarone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you first start to read it, you say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is going on with this guy, or what is going on with that woman?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more nuanced and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the ones they like to call a problem play. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a history, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a clear comedy because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not lighthearted all the time, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a tragedy either because the stage is not littered with bodies at the end. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about some problems, so they call it a problem play, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about disorder.â&#x20AC;? Bergeron says even the most dramatic scenes have some irony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For my character, there are scenes that would seem to be bereft of comedy, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping while working on it to find, maybe not gut-busting comedy, but find the irony, the humor, the difference in the world views between the characters that can be funny,â&#x20AC;? he says.

John Bergeron will play the Duke when Shakespeare â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70 brings â&#x20AC;&#x153;Measure for Measureâ&#x20AC;? to Kelsey Theatre. and crew were still exploring how much of the play is drama and comedy. Some moments are clearly part of the dramatic conflict, while others involving the street people, or the character Pompey, servant to Mistress Overdone, are clearly meant to get laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But then there are scenes where these two worlds come together and kind of overlap, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exploring how you

strike the right balance in those scenes, where both of those types of people are present,â&#x20AC;? Quartarone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be very dynamic, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be shifting and I think that will be interesting to the audience.â&#x20AC;? In some ways, the Duke is a character modern-day audiences can relate to, as he exits his sequestered life to interact with the people he leads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a duke heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to get away with that, he has people bring things to him,â&#x20AC;? Bergeron says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has the intention, even the arrogance, that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be proved right and justified in his thinking that all the laws of Vienna are ultimately correct, that all of the strict statutes as he calls them are ultimately the proper decisions no matter how fierce they may be.â&#x20AC;? Shakespeare â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production, which is being directed by John F. Erath, also is focusing on the black-and-white thinking of the characters, in that many characters think they are all right and others are all wrong. Quartatone says the production will emphasize that with sets and lighting. As for the time frame, Shakespeare â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70 is keeping â&#x20AC;&#x153;Measure for Measureâ&#x20AC;? in a traditional era. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite the fact that these folks are going to be in period costumes, the stakes, the situations, the way they interact with each other, the faults that they have are the same as today, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very relatable,â&#x20AC;? Quartarone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other than Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it feels very removed at all from the way people act now. The time frame is kind of medieval, we wanted to make it gritty.â&#x20AC;?

Shakespeare â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70 will perform â&#x20AC;&#x153;Measure for Measureâ&#x20AC;? at Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, June 23-July 2. Tickets cost $18, $16 seniors, $14 students; www.kelseytheatre.net; 609-570-3333.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

‘The Glass Menagerie’ at Kelsey

ennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie” is one of the great American plays, and Mauer Productions OnStage is presenting a solid version of it at Kelsey Theatre through June 18. The drama has a small cast, just four characters, five if you count the absentee father whose picture looms over his wife and kids. Although this play is oft-performed, it’s a challenge for actors, because there’s no place for them to hide. Thankfully, the actors in this version are up to the task, particularly Laurie Hardy who play Amanda Wingfield. Amanda is the mother of two children, Tom (played by Robert Forero) and Laura (Jessica Braynor). Tom is our narrator and host. He tells the audience he has tricks in his pocket, but he is not a magician. “He gives you illusion that has the appearance of truth, I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion,”

Tom says. We can tell Tom is a sailor, based on how he is dressed. He tells us he’s taking us back to the ’30s in St. Louis, where he lived with his mother and sister. There will be another character, a Gentleman Caller (Malik Khaaliq). Amanda is the most challenging character here, and Hardy does a good job of playing her. Amanda is overbearing to her kids in different ways. She is hard on Tom, getting on him for the way he eats, his smoking, and the way he spends his time (he says he goes to the movies but its clear he’s up to more nefarious activities). Amanda may seem more patient with Laura, who is disabled (a more politically incorrect term of the time is used in the play), but Amanda is equally hard on her daughter as on her son. She talks of Laura being ready for gentleman callers, though Malik Khaaliq and Jessica Braynor in “The Glass Menagerie.” Laura never has had one. Laura also has quit going to typing school, which leaves Amanda exasperated, with no skills and no husband, there is no hope for her daughter. Laura copes by speding a lot of time looking at the figures in her glass menagerie of the title. You could even say she loses herself in the delicate figures. Worried about Laura, Amanda insists that Tom invite a friend over to join the family dinner. She wants someone for Laura. So Tom brings Jim, who has a history with Laura, dating back to high school. When Laura told Jim she has a disease called Pleurosis, Jim thought she said “blue roses,” and that’s what he always called her. It was an act of kindness Laura never forgot. Laura’s life is dreary, but she and Jim do have a moment together, and this scene is one of the best of the evening. Braynor is wonderful as Laura begins to see hope for her future, and Khaaliq is charming and kind, his Jim has genuine feelings for Laura. Jim is Tom’s best friend at the warehouse where they both work (Jim is Tom’s boss). Tom is a budding poet, someone who’s desperate for something better, and

Jim is the only person at the warehouse who understands, and calls Tom “Shakespeare” (Jim has a way with nicknames). But it turns out Tom doesn’t know much about Jim’s personal life, and this being a Tennessee Williams’ play, Laura is bound to be disappointed. Director Judi Parrish gets fine work out of the actors, and the set by Parrish and John M. Maurer is quite good, with the dining area on a raised platform in the back. In front are well worn pieces of furniture and a Victrola on which Laura plays music, providing her a bit of joy that others find annoying. The ending isn’t as devastating as it usually is; when it was over, I felt as if Laura will be all right, and that this cast and crew have put together a commendable production of an American classic.

“The Glass Menagerie” continues at Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, through June 18. Tickets cost $18, $16 seniors, $14 students/children; www.kelsetheatre.net; 609-570-3333.

ARTS NEWS By Anthony Stoeckert

New Programs at Princeton Ballet School

rinceton Ballet School has announced a restructuring of its programs for school-aged dancers. Changes by the official school of American Repertory Ballet include a new conservatory program for serious students seeking a more disciplined and intense dance training program. The program will be led by School Director Pamela Levy. Previously, students were selected by faculty or the director to participate in this more rigorous track, currently known as the PLUS Program. Under the new restructuring students can choose to participate until they reach the advance division. The school also is introducing a FLEX program for students who love to dance and are seeking training without the intensity and time commitment of the conservatory pro-

gram. Students will still study with Princeton Ballet School’s faculty, but with more flexibility. “Students who wish to gain all of the benefits of studying dance, in an excellent training atmosphere, but do not want to commit to the rigor of the conservatory program, may opt to study in the FLEX program,” Levy says. “Mrs. Estey believed that all students should have the opportunity to dance in an environment that is appropriate for their level of commitment.” The school’s syllabus remains the same one that was created and developed by Mary Pat Robertson over her 30year tenure running the school. Another new development is the launch of the Douglas Martin Scholarship for Male Dancers which provides full

tuition for all school age males interested in ballet training. “I’m excited to see the restructuring and enhancement of the programs that have been initiated since I’ve become artistic director,” says Douglas Martin. “The Trainee program has grown from seven dancers to over 30 during the past seven years. The apprentice to the company, which will now become ARB2, our second company will give burgeoning young dancers the performing experience they need to get into a professional company. These programs have proved invaluable to ARB producing world class dancers for ARB and companies all over the U.S. and the world.” For more information about American Repertory Ballet and Princeton Ballet School, go to arballet.org or call 609921-7758.

At bottom right, Cirkus’ Potato-Green Bean Salad.

Farmers market specials Put all those delicious summer veggies to use with these dishes from area market managers It’s mid-June, and area farmers markets are up and running and it’s a race to make our favorite summer dishes while vegetables are at their peak. I polled some of the local weekly markets to find their best recipes. Some are from the managers, others are from volunteers and other market organizers. The overriding theme seems to be one of simple, no-fuss preparations that let you save time for other summer pursuits and maybe let the kids help out. Enjoy them, and enjoy your own local market. West Windsor Community Farmers’ Market (www.westwindsorfarmersmarket.org) manager Chris Cirkus says, “Fresh salads featuring farmers market produce and a simple vinaigrette remains one of my all-time favorite things to make. . . The carrot salad is something I grew up eating. Most people think of carrot salad with mayo and raisins, but this one is magical when the garlic and carrots meet.” Both the carrot salad and the potato-green bean salad provide opportunities for kids to help, too. Carrot Salad from Chris Cirkus Red wine vinegar Dijon mustard Fresh garlic Extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper 2 pounds carrots, shredded (organic preferred as they really do taste better) In a large mixing bowl, mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with about a tablespoon of mustard. Whisk together. Add 2 crushed cloves of garlic (the kids like to squeeze the garlic press and it builds their hand muscles for writing). Add 1/2 cup of olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add carrots and toss well. Keeps about 4 days in fridge. Potato-Green Bean Salad From Chris Cirkus Swap out the garlic in the carrot salad dressing for finely chopped shallots — about 1-2 tablespoons. Make the vinaigrette the same way as the carrot salad, swapping out champagne vinegar for the red wine if you like a milder vinegar flavor. Add a small handful of chopped chives. Boil about 2 pounds cut up red potatoes, new potatoes, purple or fingerling potatoes — drain when fork tender. The salad is better if you dress it

when the potatoes are warm. Add Â½ pound cut up green beans, par-boiled if you don’t want them too crunchy. Toss well. Chill and then, if you like, add hard-boiled eggs, greens, halved cherry or sun gold tomatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper before serving. Lorette Pruden, manager of the Montgomery Friends Of Open Space Farmers’ Market (montgomeryfriends.org/farmers-market), loves to make a Southern family favorite, “Corn Maquechoux (ma-shoo), simple, delicious, travels well, easy to make ahead, even better next day. . . what’s not to love? “As written, it is a vegan dish, but the classic version has ham or sausage. So you could always add cubed ham or smoked sausage. Local kielbasa would make it a truly Jersey dish. “This is pretty much from a ‘Southern Living; recipe from March of 1995. You can tell how good it is by the fact I still have it!” Corn Maquechoux from Lorette Pruden 6 to 8 servings 5 large ears of corn 2 tablespoons oil 1 green or red bell pepper 1 medium onion, chopped 1 bay leaf 1 16 ounce can of tomatoes, chopped (or use fresh in season) Â½ cup water Â½ teaspoon hot sauce (Try Hot Sauce 4 Good, available at local markets, or use the classic Tabasco) Salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl, remove the corn from cob with a sharp knife. In a large skillet, sauté bell pepper and onions in oil until just wilted. Add corn, bay leaf, tomatoes, water, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with scallions. Good hot, cold, or room temperature. Joann Held, manager of Pennington Farmers Market (penningtonfarmersmarket.org), sent along Isaac’s Stir-Fry recipe, which her husband Isaac contributed to a Girl Scout market project. One scout has just begun a Gold Award Project to prepare simple recipes using fresh vegetables that can be distributed by food pantries along with the produce that they give

out. The recipe uses carrots and green beans, but you can find many other delicious combinations at your farmers market, Ms. Held advises, for example broccoli and cauliflower. Isaac’s Stir-Fry from Joann Held Carrots Green beans Wok oil (canola or vegetable oil) Soy sauce Sesame oil (the toasted kind) Peel 3 or 4 carrots. Cut off ends and slice into Â¼- to Â½-inch pieces (to be fancy, slice on a diagonal, then rotate the carrot less than half way around, then slice, rotate, slice, rotate — this makes pieces that have a lot of sides which are good for stir-frying.) Snap ends off green beans. Use about the same amount as the carrots or maybe a little more. Wash both carrots and beans, and dry with towel. Heat up wok on high and add a few tablespoons of wok oil. When the oil is hot, add all of the vegetables. Stir to get the vegetables coated with the oil. Add soy sauce to taste. I use 4 or 5 shakes (if you don’t like soy sauce, add salt to taste). Stir for a few seconds, then add 3-4 ounces of water from the tap. Cover, and cook on medium for 3 minutes or so, but do not let all of the water evaporate away. Taste a piece with a fork (be careful, it’s hot). It should be easy to chew but not too soft. If the vegetables are not done, add some more water and cook for another minute. When vegetables are done, uncover and stir until all of the water is gone. Turn off the heat. Add a few drops of sesame oil and stir once or twice. Duke Farms Market provided a recipe from their chef, Josh Falzone, who does weekly recipes for the market. Here he polishes up his favorite from last year using kohlrabi. Kohlrabi Salad Recipe and Introduction by Chef Josh Falzone (More recipes are available at www.dukefarms.org) My favorite example of a unique vegetable that simply needed some exposure to make its way to the dinner table is kohlrabi. . . This unfamiliar vegetable is actually in the same family as cabbage and kale and is more versatile than most people realize. Kohlrabi can be cooked like pota-

toes, grated like cabbage for coleslaw or even sliced like radishes for salad. 4 heads kohlrabi 1 lemon Extra-virgin olive oil Fresh herbs Salt and pepper Peel kohlrabi, leaving enough stem to hold onto while slicing. Shave the peeled bulb into a bowl using either a mandolin slicer or a very sharp knife. Zest lemon and save juice. Season shaved kohlrabi with salt and pepper, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil. Mix well. Add your favorite herbs and lightly fold. Can be served chilled alone or even mixed with baby kale for a leafier salad.

Chelsea Jackson, market manager at Trenton’s Greenwood Avenue Farmers Market (www.greenwoodavefm.org), which is focused on healthy living for Trentonians, provided “a great southern-style seafood gumbo recipe we like to call The Greenwood Gumbo.” It’s made with ingredients found at the market. The catch comes in fresh from 130 Seafood in Asbury Park, our celery and onion comes from Trenton’s urban farm. D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Capital City Farm, our okra and pork are from Norz Hill Farm in Hillsborough, and the delectable herbs for garnish come from Isles!

The Greenwood Gumbo from Chelsea Jackson Â½ cup olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 green bell pepper, chopped Chopped garlic to taste 1 Â½ cups fresh okra slices 1 cup chopped celery 3 tomatoes, diced 1 bay leaf Â½ teaspoon thyme Â½ pound of pork sausage 1 to 1 Â½ pounds medium shrimp Chopped parsley for garnish Sauté onions, peppers, and garlic in olive oil. Add okra, celery, tomatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Simmer for 20 minutes until soft. Add sausage and shrimp. Cook for 15 minutes or until seafood is cooked; add parsley for garnish. Enjoy!

Fighting dementia with a healthy lifestyle

Most everyone knows that a healthy diet and regular exercise are good for your heart, but growing evidence suggests they’re good for your brain too. More than 5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia in the United States, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. As the number of people age 65 and older continues to increase, so does the number of new Alzheimer’s cases. June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to Alzheimer’s disease and raise awareness about how to keep your brain healthy as you age. What is dementia? Dementia is an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells, and the majority of cases are linked to Alzheimer’s disease in which high levels of certain proteins, both inside and outside brain cells, make it difficult for cells to stay healthy and communicate with each other. The second most common type of dementia is

vascular dementia, which occurs after a stroke. Many dementias are progressive, meaning symptoms start out slowly and gradually get worse. Symptoms of dementia can vary greatly. Memory problems are typically one of the first signs of dementia, though many people have memory loss issues that are not linked to dementia. Other cognitive difficulties associated with the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias include: • Challenges in planning or solving problems • Difficulty completing familiar tasks • Confusion with time or place • Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships • New problems with words in speaking or writing • Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps • Decreased or poor judgment • Withdrawal from work or social activities • Changes in mood and personality If you or a loved one experience trouble with memory or other cognitive skills, see a doctor to determine a

cause. Early diagnosis and treatment may be able to help slow the progression of dementia and improve quality of life. Reduce your risk As the Alzheimer’s Association reports, research suggests that combining good nutrition with mental, social and physical activities may have a greater benefit in maintaining or improving brain health than any single activity. Many of the same healthy lifestyle habits that are good for your cardiovascular health also benefit your brain. This is because your brain is nourished by a rich network of blood vessels, and anything that damages these vessels can deprive your brain of vital fuel and oxygen. *** To help reduce your risk of cognitive decline, follow these tips: Control your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Have your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked regularly by your doctor. If you are on medication to help control your blood pressure or cholesterol, make sure you are taking it as prescribed and that it is working effectively. High blood pressure and cholesterol can lead to

vascular disease and stroke, which can in turn lead to dementia. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese puts you at risk for a range of other health complications including heart disease and diabetes, which can increase your risk for developing dementia. Eat a healthy diet. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, what you eat may have the greatest impact on brain health through its effect on heart health. Evidence suggests that following a Mediterranean diet may help protect the brain. A Mediterranean diet includes relatively little red meat and rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, olive oil and other healthy fats. In addition, limiting salt intake and refraining from processed foods is part of eating healthy. Exercise. Regular physical activity not only helps you maintain a healthy weight and a healthy heart, but research shows it may directly benefit your brain by increasing blood flow and oxygen to your brain cells. Moreover, exercise releases feel-good endorphins that help combat depression, another risk factor for dementia. Minimize alcohol consumption. Excessive alco-

hol consumption can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart disease, and therefore increase the risk for dementia. Federal health guidelines recommend limiting alcohol to no more than one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men. Protect your head. Brain injury can increase your risk for cognitive decline and dementia. Always buckle your seatbelt; wear a helmet while riding a bike, skiing or participating in contact sports, and take steps to prevent falls. Sleep well. Be sure you are getting enough quality sleep each night. Sleep helps recharge your body and your brain so you can think clearly and keep your memory sharp. The National Sleep Foundation recommends older adults get between seven and eight hours of sleep every night. Keep a full calendar. Studies indicate that when

older adults engage in social activities they experience less cognitive decline than those who are more isolated. Having a daily routine and schedule also aids memory. Learn something new. Study a new language. Pick up a new instrument. Take art classes. Challenging your brain strengthening its web of connections and creating new connections. By adopting healthy lifestyle habits for your brain and your body, you can reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s and other dementias and stay sharp as you grow older.

Hedy Shepard: Clothing and customer relationships that last

As Rachel Reiss sat within a colorful and tasteful ambience of women’s clothing discussing her shop, Hedy Shepard, she noticed a customer checking out a garment in the mirror. What happened over the next 10 seconds encapsulated what the Princeton boutique is all about. Reiss began her comment like a typical salesperson trying to make a quick commission. “That’s great on you,” Reiss said. But she noticed the woman struggling to deal with the pucker on the side of the attire, and quickly switched gears from salesperson to concerned friend. “It’s the tucks that are in the fabric,” Reiss told her visitor. “We have this in two colors and it’s meant to do that. But if that’s a little thing that bothers you, it may always bother you.” Just like that, Reiss talked someone out of a possible sale because she cares more about what happens to the clothes after they leave the store, than the money she can make from selling them. When it was suggested that many merchants might try and reel someone in who was indecisive, Reiss assured that will never be the case in this Nassau Street women’s paradise. “You have to tell them,” Reiss said. “Did you ever go out and buy a shirt and you put it on, you’re not sure about it but you buy it anyway? You put it on, take it off, put it on, take it off. And it ends up hanging in your closet. “I want the customer to walk out of here, so confident and loving what they buy, that these clothes don’t hang in their closet. Clothes are meant to be worn. You can’t wear them out although sometimes you wish you could. With the price point and the quality that these customers are buying here, these clothes last forever. She needs to live with what she buys for a long time and like what she sees every time she puts it on.” It is that kind of attitude that helped Rachel and her mother — co-owner Lynn Rabinowitz — celebrate their 17th year in business last week since taking over the shop in 2000. The shop caters to women ages 40 and older. Reiss refers to her customers as “suburban women,” women who want to look their best, but are not continually working out in order to squeeze into a size 2. They have other constructive activities to occupy their lives that they need to dress nicely for. “I’m very fortunate to have women who are working, who care about how they present themselves,” Reiss said. “They’re high profile. They get dressed every day. You look outside and people are walking around in jeans and activewear. You look at our store, and sometimes we wonder about it ourselves. . . ‘Where is everybody wearing these beautiful clothes we bring in?’ Fortunately, they do wear them, they have places to go, they travel, they work.” And they love the fact they can get their size at Hedy Shepard. Reiss noted that several contemporary stores limit

Rachel Reiss has been running Hedy Shepard in Princeton for 17 years. The store specializes in clothing for women 40 and older. their sizes from zero to 8. She and her mother have seen numerous 40-and-overs come into their store “in tears coming from other stores that say, ‘We don’t carry your size.’ It’s horrific to some of them.” Thus, Hedy Shepherd carries sizes from 0 to 14 or 16, depending on the vendor. The key is, this apparel isn’t meant to just cover the body. It is designed to enhance the appearance. “Dressing a suburban woman is about a woman who has interests, hobbies, brains, careers,” Reiss said. “They’re not spending all their time trying to have these perfect size 0 and 2 bodies. They care about their appearance but they’re not fighting to keep the figure they had in their 20s. “We have a lot of women who aren’t size 2, who come here because they know when they walk out they’re going to love what they’re wearing and how they feel and how they represent themselves. They feel good about it. That’s important to us. I’d rather someone walk out and buy nothing, then walk out of here not looking as they should.” Rachel and Lynn keep this in mind while attending countless shows in New York City. Be it classy or casual,

they keep an eye out for their suburban ladies. “I have to cover my women up,” Reiss said. “They’re not sleeveless, they don’t want strappy. They want to be elegantly covered whether it’s their jeans and T-shirts or their evening wear. We run the gamut. We can dress someone for evening, but we’re not cocktail; we’re not mother of the bride. “We’re providing clothes where a woman can go to the event, but we’re not dressing the hostess of the event. Jeans to career clothing, we have everything. Some of my customers can go real high in designer clothes, and they do go to those places, but they’ll use me for their everyday clothes.” It has been a remarkable career for daughter and mom. Growing up in Yardley, Pennsylvania, trend-setting Reiss “was interested in fashion, but I had a knack for not wanting to dress like everyone else.” She worked in real estate at the time and was a loyal customer of the Hedy Shepard shop in Yardley. “She just loved clothes, she had to be dressed for the See SHOP TALK, Page 6

Tracy K. Smith named poet laureate

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced the appointment of Tracy K. Smith as the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22nd Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2017-2018. Smith will take up her duties in the fall, opening the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual literary season with a reading of her work at the Coolidge Auditorium. Smith is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, and a professor of creative writing in the humanities at Princeton University, and director of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program in creative writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts. She succeeds Juan Felipe Herrera as poet laureate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am profoundly honored,â&#x20AC;? Smith said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As someone who has been sustained by poems and poets, I understand the powerful and necessary role poetry can play in sustaining a rich inner life and fostering a mindful, empathic and resourceful culture. I am eager to share the good news of poetry with readers and future-readers across this marvelously diverse country.â&#x20AC;? Smith, a resident of Princeton, joins a long line of distinguished poets who have served in the position. Allen Tate, who served as poet laureate in 1943-44, helped to found the creative writing program at Princeton. Smith is the author of three books of poetry, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life on Marsâ&#x20AC;? (2011), winner of the

the 2015 National Book Award in nonfiction.

Tracy K. Smith, director of the Lewis Center for the Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program in creative writing at Princeton, has been named U.S. Poet Laureate. 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duendeâ&#x20AC;? (2007), winner of the 2006 James Laughlin Award and the 2008 Essence Literary Award; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The

Bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Questionâ&#x20AC;? (2003), winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize. She is also the author of a memoir, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ordinary Light,â&#x20AC;? (2015), a finalist for

In learning the news of Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment, Christopher Eisgruber, president of Princeton University, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tracy K. Smith is a gifted writer whose work sparkles with insight, imagination, and grace. We are fortunate that she teaches at Princeton, and I am delighted that she will now be our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poet laureate.â&#x20AC;? Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton, added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A brilliant artist and a deeply engaged member of the Princeton community, Tracy will now have even more opportunities to engage with communities across the country about how poetry addresses what it is to live fully, deeply, and consciously at this particular moment in time. When she lifts her voice, we would all do well to attend to what she has to say and how she has to say it.â&#x20AC;? Born Massachusetts in 1972, and raised in California, Smith earned a B.A. in English and American literature and Afro-American studies from Harvard University and an M.F.A. in creative writing from Columbia University. In addition to Princeton, Smith has taught at Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York, at the University of Pittsburgh and at Columbia University.

Shop Talk Continued from Page 5 part in her industry,â&#x20AC;? Reiss said. After graduating from the George School, Reiss tried college for a year and instantly knew it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t her thing. She went to her momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite clothes store and got a job at age 19 in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She hired me on the spot and my next day I was in New York doing buying for her,â&#x20AC;? Reiss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the bug really hit me.â&#x20AC;? Hedy soon opened a store in Princeton. After deciding to merge the two shops, they found their current site (a former boutique that was closed due to smoke damage from a fire); and Rachel was sent to work there. She left for slightly over a year to manage a restaurant but returned just in time to have Hedy offer to sell Rachel the store. Thanks to the emotional and financial support of Lynn, Hedy Shepard opened under new ownership in June 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done it by myself, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where my mother came in,â&#x20AC;? Reiss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She got into all of this because of me. She believed in me at a turning point in my life, and wanted to partner with me and make all this happen. I had a mother who believed enough in me in watching me evolve as a young lady, to say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m leaving what I do and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to partner with you and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do something together.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty proud thing for a daughter to be able to say.â&#x20AC;?

And the two can be pretty proud of the business they have built, with Rachel serving as the creative side and Lynn tending to the business end. While both women go on the buying trips, Rachel has the final say on the inventory but quickly adds â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lasted for 17 years because of my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business brains.â&#x20AC;? When the two took over they already knew the regular customers so the clientele did not drop off. Instead, it has increased, as the combination of fine clothing, honesty and friendliness makes Hedy Shepard a virtual paradise for wardrobe seekers. The shop features clothing from more than 70 designers, including esteemed names like Peserico, Liviana Conti, Cambio, Planet, Estelle & Finn and Splendid. The atmosphere is a byproduct of the nice people who run the shop. Victoria Pace is assistant to the owners, while two parttimers comprise the remainder of the five-woman staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kind, gentle atmosphere,â&#x20AC;? Rachel noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not pushy. When you walk in itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like you get greeted by your neighbor. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about a small community store where you have an identity and you feel comfortable going into it with your money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all about customer service here. My customers can travel anywhere, go to any community and get what they want. But we have a really loyal customer base who

stays here because of what we all do for them. We all appeal to people differently in how we put women together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I get a new customer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so grateful I have them for life. Some become friends, some become family. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trust level that we all build. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than trust. We really evolve into each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Hedy Shepard is Rachelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, and she would have it no other way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I leave my home and I come to my second home every day,â&#x20AC;? said Reiss, whose equally fashion-minded husband owns a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store specializing in suits in Ewing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a career or a job. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what I do. This is who I am. I love what I do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very lucky. I get to work with my mother, who made this all happen. And our customer base is why we have what we have. The loyalty they have shown us over these years and the belief in us, that what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving them is the best quality, the best price, the best service. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have this without our customers.â&#x20AC;? Which is why no one will walk out of her store with a pucker they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel comfortable with. Hedy Shepard is located at 175 Nassau St., Princeton. For more information, go to www.hedyshepardltd.com or call 609-921-0582.

. What designations do you have and what does it mean for the people you work with? A. I am honored to announce that I have been awarded the highest designation that Realtors can attain – Platinum Level by the NJAR Circle of Excellence, another year in a row, since 2012! In today’s complex market, Real Estate professionals have to be innovative, diligent and consistent in order to excel. I have also been recognized to be in the Top 1% of all Realtors nationwide. For clients, this means that they can be assured that my years of experience and real estate knowledge will get them the results they are looking for.

. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home? A. Call a real estate professional! Both buyers and sellers are educated in todays’ web-driven world. However, not all information listed on-line is accurate, nor can it replace the experience and knowledge offered by a real estate professional.

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices? A. The Real Estate market is steady in Princeton. As with any market, there is a constant movement and fluctuation throughout the year. The Spring Market is always hot but I see growth in re-sale prices and a boom in the demand for new constructions which of course affect the pricing of a neighborhood. Princeton’s location and vibrant community has allowed the real estate market to stay strong through the years, but the current influx of buyers has definitely raised the demand for homes!

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. I love living in the Greater Princeton area! This area is blooming with culture, history and renovation, yet it is still a place where you can enjoy a quiet evening, as you would in a country estate. Princeton is also an international city. I have quite a few clients who relocated from other countries for continuing education or work, and I find joy in helping them settle in our town and feel at home as they transition from their homeland.

. Is there a certain community in the area which has become your main focus? A. I enjoy having a very versatile and expansive business throughout the area. Nonetheless, quite a bit of my focus goes to Princeton Landing. I have lived on Sayre Drive for over a decade and have sold over 300 homes there. Because my family and I call Princeton Landing our home, I am very knowledgeable about the market there. It is such a beautiful, park-like community with all of the amenities of a 5-star resort and close proximity to major roadways and Princeton Junction Train Station. Many of my clients have found their perfect home in Princeton Landing and I am happy to call them neighbors.

. What is your current focus is Real Estate? A. Right now, I am focusing on the booming New Construction in Princeton. It seems that almost every street I turn on, there is at least one new home being built. To some, it is a little discouraging, to see old homes being torn down to build a new, but I think that it is a necessary step in helping the town’s Real 343 Nassau Street Estate market flourish and overall growth. Princeton NJ 08540 There are so many buyers looking to buy a home in Princeton, and they are most certainly interested in new construction projects.
