The battlefield battle is over IAS gets approval for housing project By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
The Institute for Advanced Study last week received permission from the municipality to build eight town houses, in closing the chapter on a disputed faculty housing project that had become a cause celebre in the protection of historic land that was central to the nation’s founding.
At a Princeton Planning Board hearing Sept. 28, the site of so many previous disputes between the IAS and the Princeton Battlefield Society, the two erstwhile adversaries found themselves on the same side. IAS attorney Chris Tarr, at the outset of the hearing, offered “thanks” to Kip Cherry, vice president of the Battlefield Society, who was sitting in the audience. “And I think, tonight, we’re all friends,” Tarr would offer on an evening when the board heard the IAS testimony and voted unani-
mously to approve it. Cherry’s organization had sued to stop the IAS from building on IAS-owned land where fighting took place during the Revolutionary War Battle of Princeton, in January 1777. The victory there by forces led by George Washington is seen as a crucial turning point in the war. The IAS, however, had approval for faculty housing and was moving ahead. But the Civil War Trust, a land preservation organization that had expanded its mission to protect battlefields of the
Revolutionary War and War of 1812, reached a deal last fall with the Institute to acquire around 15 acres for $4 million and turn the property over to the state to expand Battlefield State Park. The IAS would modify its original 15 unit housing project — originally approved back in 2012 for eight townhouses and seven single-family homes — to construct eight additional townhouses for a total of 16. “The approval of this revised plan by the municipality represents an important part of our
agreement with the Civil War Trust and will help us move forward in the process to bring that agreement to conclusion,” IAS Chief Operating Officer Janine Purcaro told the Planning Board. The IAS still has to go before the Delaware & Raritan Canal Commission for approval. It was three years ago that the Civil War Trust had come to Princeton to announce it would expand its mission to protect battlefields of those two earlier wars. See BATTLE, Page 13

For around 90 minutes in the Witherspoon Hall municipal building, Beth Behrend, Jess Deutsch, James Fields, Jenny Ludmer, Julie Ramirez and Michele Tuck-Ponder sought to win over voters with the election 37 days away.
Themes emerge in school board candidates forum By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
Racial issues, the well being of students and the future of the district emerged as some of the themes of the first candidates forum the six Princeton school board candidates had Monday, the first of two such events they will have in the span of seven days. For around 90 minutes in the Witherspoon Hall municipal building, Beth Behrend, Jess Deutsch, James Fields, Jenny Ludmer, Julie Ramirez and Michele Tuck-Ponder sought to win over voters with the election 37 days away. Three open seats on the school board are on the Nov. 7 ballot, with the winners taking office next year at a time when the district will have been in the midst of planning a facilities bond referendum for September 2018.
“We are looking at overcrowding in all of our facilities and we have to think about what we want to look like going forward,” Behrend said in making the case for long-term planning. “What kind of buildings do we need, what will education look like for the next twenty years?” Ludmer picked up on that theme by pointing to how enrollment has grown 10 percent in recent years. “Right now, we are at capacity or exceeding capacity at the high school, the middle school and in a couple of our elementary schools,” she said. “So we’re definitely at a point where we need to build consensus with the community and find solutions that meet the needs of the taxpayers as well as our students. That will be a tricky thing.” Yet the candidates seemed un-
familiar with where the district already is in its thinking; officials are eyeing an addition to the high school, improvements to other school buildings and the possible construction of a new school for fifth-graders and sixth-graders. By the time the three winners join the board in January, the district will be three months away from having to submit plans for the referendum to the state Department of Education for approval. At a time of rising enrollment, Ramirez said she did not have an answer when asked how she would deal with it. “But what I would do, to make sure we come up with a solution that’s best for the town and best for our students, is we leverage the expertise we have in the town and get as much input as we can from the community to come up with the best solution that meets the
needs of the schools and doesn’t cause an undue burden on the taxpayers,” she said. Aside from bricks and mortar, the candidates also pointed to concerns about how students are doing, with high schoolers reporting they don’t get enough sleep and have hours of homework each night. Deutsch said students need to “recover” once they get home after putting in “a full work day at school.” Fields, a ministry director at Princeton University, said student well being and mental health was a concern of his. He said he was glad to see the district moving toward pushing back the start time at the high school. “I think that’s a beginning of what we need to do,” he said. Ramirez pointed to the chalSee FORUM, Page 13

Ingrid Reed has her arms folded standing in front of the 20 or so people in the Princeton Public Library on Monday to hear her talk about the issues facing New Jersey. “And it’s really hard to be an elected official and make choices and set priorities when you are under strained fiscal conditions as we are,” she said at one point during the second installment of a five-part discussion series she is leading each Monday, starting at 5 p.m., through Oct. 23. Reed, formerly of the Eagleton Institute, is talking policy and politics — things she lives and breathes. This day’s topic deals with the energy and the environment. With the gubernatorial election about 30 days away, she seeks to bring her policy analyst’s perspective to a state known for its political wheeling and dealing. She wants the public to press the candidates, to go beyond what she termed “bland generalities” for answers on the “awful lot of problems” New Jersey has. “So I think the best thing that can happen in this election season is for all of the candidates to hear very specific questions from citizens who are interested in what are the problems and how they’re going to deal with them,” she said. “Well, ask them what are they going to do to encourage solar and wind production in New Jersey and where do they think the responsibility should be for that.” In a brief interview afterward, she laughs when asked if these are like college-level courses.

Plainsboro teen dies in fall from Temple dorm room window By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
A 19-year-old Plainsboro Township resident, who was a freshman at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pa., died after he fell from a 6thfloor window at his dormi-
tory Tuesday morning. Richard Dalcourt, who graduated from West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North in 2017, fell from the window around 10:30 a.m. He was taken to Hahnemann Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a
short time later. Dalcourt was in his first semester at Temple University, where he was majoring in mechanical engineering. In a statement issued later in the day, Temple University President Richard M. Englart said the
university “joins Richard’s family in mourning his loss. Tragedies such as these affect many members of our community. Please keep Richard and his family in your thoughts and prayers.” West Windsor-Plainsboro Public School District
officials shared the news with staff at West WindsorPlainsboro High School North Tuesday afternoon. “Please know that our thoughts are with the Dalcourt family at this time. Support for any staff and students will be available at
school in the days ahead,”
West Windsor-Plainsboro

a statement to high school staff.
PHS student hit, killed on train tacks at Princeton Junction By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
A Princeton High School student on the train tracks close to the Princeton Junction Station was hit by a New York-bound Amtrak train Sept.28, the first of two people killed in that way in a three-day-span.
The sophomore was struck around 2:45 p.m. by a train that had originated in New Orleans. Amtrak said it “cannot confirm” if the boy’s death was a suicide, but if it were, it would be the second time in as many years that a PHS student had ended his life. In September 2016, also
during the first month of school, a 14-year-old freshman committed suicide. For its part, the district said it had made grief counselors available to students and staff. “Friday was a difficult day,” said principal Gary Snyder on Monday. Mayor Liz Lempert took
to Facebook Friday to say she had met on Sept. 28 with the local Youth Advisory Committee — a group of area high school students. “We talked about the need to address teen mental health, and the importance of students and parents being at the table,” Mayor
Lempert wrote. “I am eager to work with this thoughtful group of teens, the schools and other community partners in doing better for Princeton’s young people.” In the second incident, a man identified as Ethan Cullen, 25, of Hightstown, was on the tracks when he was hit by another Amtrak
train around 8:30 p.m., Sat-
urday, also near Princeton Junction.
None of the 52 passen-
gers or crew on that Miami to New York train reported
injuries, Amtrak spokesman Jason C. Abrams said.

Carpet cleaner charged with stealing customer’s checks By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
A 30-year-old man who works for a carpet cleaning company has been charged with theft and theft by deception for stealing checks that belonged to an elderly woman, according to the
Montgomery Township Police Department. Marc Lahens, 30, of Asbury Park, was a member of a cleaning crew that was hired to clean the victim’s carpets at her home on Sept. 12, police said. While he was in the victim‘s home, he removed three checks
from the victim’s checkbook and cashed two of them. Several days later, the victim noticed that three checks were missing, police said. The victim contacted her bank and discovered that two of the three checks had been cashed for a total
of $600. When Police Department detectives followed up with the bank, Lahens was identified as the person who cashed the checks. The carpet cleaning company was contacted and confirmed that he was a member of the crew that was hired to clean
the woman’s carpets, police said. Detectives located Lahens on Sept. 27, and obtained a full confession from him regarding the theft, police said. He was arrested and later released on his own recognizance.

Mystery guests at Westminster prompt speculation By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
The presence Tuesday at Westminster Choir College of Rider University officials and so-called “Chinese investors” touched off speculation about whether the foreign visitors were representatives of the prospective new owner of the music school. Matt Koller, a Westminster alumnus and founding trustee of the Coalition to Save Westminster Choir
College in Princeton, issued a statement Tuesday saying Rider’s President Gregory G. Dell’Omo was part of the tour, and speculated that the “Chinese investors,” in his words, were from the Guanghua Education Group, a China-based outfit whose “main business focus (is) on international education,” according to the Group’s website. Rider spokeswoman Kristine A. Brown on Wednesday issued a statement saying there were
“guests” on campus Tuesday, but that “they were not from the Guanghua Education Group.” She declined to say who they were or if they were Chinese. Rider is in the midst of selling Westminster, with the university having said in August it had found a “potential” partner to acquire the school and keep it in Princeton. Rider has said its goal is to complete the deal before the end of the current fiscal year, June 30. “This unprecedented
selling of a nonprofit school has never been done in the history of the United States,” Koller said in his message, which was posted on the Coalition web page. “We don’t know what type of agreement they’re drafting, we don’t know what type of protections there are for Westminster Choir College students.” So far, Rider has declined to disclose the name of the buyer, a fact that has frustrated a group of alumni and others.
“But at this point, Rider has refused to provide any confirmation that this proposed buyer will preserve and operate the school,” said attorney Bruce I. Afran, the Coalition lawyer who is also representing four alumni and donors as part a class action lawsuit seeking to stop the sale. “So at this stage, we have no choice but to continue to litigate because Rider is not providing confirmation of the buyer’s intentions.”
Koller is one of the plaintiffs in that lawsuit. Rider has maintained that it is not releasing the name of the prospective buyer to protect the confidentiality of the process. “We understand how eager our community is to learn more about the future of Westminster Choir College, however for reasons of confidentiality and to allow this process to progress with integrity, we will not disclose specific details,” Brown said.
Littlebrook Elementary named National Blue Ribbon school By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
Littlebrook Elementary School is a National Blue Ribbon school for 2017, part of a select group of 342 schools to be recognized overall, the Trump administration said last week. In all, New Jersey had nine Blue Ribbon winners, with Littlebrook the only one in Mercer County. The school
was recognized for its “overall academic excellence,” according to the federal Department of Education. Representatives of the school and district will travel to Washington D.C. in November to pick up the award, Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said Tuesday. “It’s a celebration of their achievement and of the level of care that we have
for the kids in that school and really across the district,” he said. “And it’s a celebration of teachers, of staff, of parents and of the students themselves. We’re excited.” Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, who designated Littlebrook and the other winners, lauded them for their accomplishments. The schools came from 44 states, Washington D.C. and
Department of Defense schools, she said. “National Blue Ribbon schools are active demonstrations of preparing every child for a bright future,” she said. “America’s students are more diverse than ever. No child is the same, and National Blue Ribbon schools recognize that different students, in different places, have different needs.” Mayor Liz Lempert,
PHS forms alumni association to help grads ‘catch up’ By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
Princeton High School has a newly formed alumni association that will help graduates “catch up” with their classmates and alma mater as well as to provide current students with mentors to help guide them into college and career. “Our goal is really is twofold,” district spokeswoman Brenda Sewell said Tuesday. “We definitely want to connect alumni with each other, give them an opportunity and a space to reconnect, to catch
up with classmates and their peers. But we also want to make sure that we’re thinking about our current students and using the resource that is our alumni to help our students.” PHS alumna Mia Sacks, a 1983 graduate, approached the district last year with the idea of having an alumni group. By phone Tuesday, she said many private high schools have such associations, but they’re rare at public schools. “I felt that why shouldn’t public schools also have this resource for their students,”
Sacks said. “That was a big motivating factor for me.” The organization, run through the school district, will have its official launch on homecoming weekend, Oct.20 and 21. Sewell said there has been some outreach already to get alumni involved. Sacks said her vision for the organization is to model it after college alumni associations, to help current students “in the form of mentorships, college connections (and) internships.” “There are alumni all across the country who have been extraordinarily suc-
cessful in a wide variety of fields,” she said in noting that, for instance, actor John Lithgow went to PHS. “There are alumni who could serve as role models and be a connection for them.“ “Our alumni are in so many different fields and have done so many different things, and we really wanted to reconnect with our alumni,” Sewell said. More long term, Sacks sees room for the organization as a “source of, perhaps, for providing financial support” for the district.
who sent her two daughters to Littlebrook, this week called it a “great honor for the school.” “Annie Kosek was a fantastic principal,” she said Wednesday of the district’s
current assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. “You have a combination of great teachers, great kids and parents who are deeply involved in the school community.”

Extreme hurricanes Public forum planned for Obey traffic laws when going school board candidates through Montgomery Township highlight concerns the editor: To the editor: about climate change To Princeton voters will elect three new members to the I am a frequent user of the Harrison Street bridge,
By Michele S. Byers
With two months to go, the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season has made history as one of the most active and destructive on record. Four major hurricanes - Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria - caused catastrophic impacts to the U.S. mainland and Caribbean islands, and there could be more. The warm ocean waters that spawn tropical cyclones won’t cool down for some time. This cluster of hurricanes does not come as a surprise to climate scientists, who have predicted that manmade changes to the Earth’s climate are accelerating the conditions that produce powerful storms. While the storms in themselves are not definitive evidence of climate change and scientists look at long-term trends to validate their theories, the increased frequency and intensity of these recent storms is exactly what is predicted and expected of a warming climate. This past week was national Clean Energy Week, a great time to consider the connection between energy consumption and the resulting pollution that creates heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, leading to warmer oceans. The goal of Clean Energy Week is to raise awareness of the issues and the potential for renewable energy like wind and solar to replace fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases. At a Rutgers University-sponsored conference on climate change on Sept. 27, scientists and decision makers discussed New Jersey’s progress in preparing for climate change and the critical role states can play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In conjunction with Clean Energy Week, NJ Conservation Foundation and ReThink Energy NJ released a new report, “A Clean Energy Pathway for New Jersey,” detailing how this state we’re in can achieve a 50 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions coming from New Jersey electric generating plants by 2030. That goal is key in meeting targets set by the state’s Global Warming Response Act, which calls for an 80 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors, including electricity and transportation, by 2050. The Clean Energy Pathway report relies on three strategies to achieve affordable emission reductions: greater energy efficiency, a continuation of New Jersey’s historic growth in solar energy, and a new focus on offshore wind power. As of 2015, solar and wind accounted for only 4 percent of New Jersey’s energy mix, currently dominated by natural gas and nuclear energy. By
Princeton Public Schools Board of Education on Nov. 7, 2017. To help voters make an informed decision, Not in Our Town Princeton (NIOT) will sponsor a public forum among the six candidates running: Beth Behrend, Jessica Deutsch, James Field, Jenny Ludmer, Julie Ramirez, and Michele Tuck-Ponder. The event will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, 50 Cherry Hill Road. The forum will be moderated by NIOT’s student advisers, and Princeton High School students, Valeria Torres-Olivares and Hamza Nishtar who will be asking and reading questions submitted by other PHS students, as well as taking questions from the audience. This forum will provide an opportunity to discuss issues that matter to high school students from their own point of view. As such, candidates will face a series of questions from those directly affected by the Board’s decisions and policies, and will have the opportunity to make their case. We encourage Princeton High school students, and their parents, to attend this event because on Oct. 8, the voice of PHS students will be heard.

Very recently, I have discovered that the town of Princeton’s Police Department has all of a sudden decided to use police officers on a continuous and ongoing basis for speed traps located approximately one-fifth of a mile past the Harrison Street bridge. I am urging everyone who is reading this to use profound and acute obedience to New Jersey’s motor vehicle laws when they go anywhere near the Harrison Street bridge. On Route 206 where the TD Bank and CVS Pharmacy is located in Princeton by a hairline. Across the street from the bank and the pharmacy is a Sunoco Station, which is where Montgomery Township is located. Where Montgomery Township begins is where the Montgomery Township Police Department goes out of its way to give motorists tickets for moving violations. I urge everyone to obey New Jersey’s motor vehicle laws anywhere in Montgomery Township, especially at the area that I previously stated.

WATERSHED NOTES
Next governor should adopt a strategy to protect the state from big storms By Jim Waltman
As the five-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy approaches, and with millions of Americans still suffering the ravages of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, resiliency to extreme weather should be a major issue in New Jersey’s gubernatorial campaign. Let’s hope the candidates speak to this challenge in the coming debates and that whoever is elected makes this a high priority for the next administration. The changing climate and continual creep of development across the Garden State are a double whammy that portends more flood damage to homes and businesses, unless our state and local governments take bold action. The physics is pretty simple: a warmer atmosphere creates more evaporation and more precipitation during storms. As hard surfaces like asphalt and concrete spread, there is less room for water to percolate into the ground, causing more runoff. Both of these forces appear to have been at play during the recent hurricanes. Harvey dumped more than 50 inches of rain in some areas around Houston, for example. The city’s sprawling development left little room for all of that water to go, compounding the flooding. Closer to home here in central New Jersey, we need only recall Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012 to summon first-hand experiences of massive flooding. All the rain dumped by Irene overwhelmed several rivers in northern and central counties, leading to record-breaking crests along the Millstone, Passaic, Pompton, Raritan, Rockaway, Ramapo and other rivers. These epic storms - Harvey, Irma, Irene, Maria, Sandy - displaced millions of people and exposed many to the health hazards of floodwaters contamiSee HURRICANES, Page 8 nated with fecal matter, industrial toxins and other pollutants from overwhelmed storm and sewage systems. www.princetonpacket.com New Jersey’s next governor should adopt a four-part Founded in 1786 strategy to protect our state from the storms that are Bernard Kilgore, Group Publisher 1955-1967 sure to come during his or her tenure. Mary Louise Kilgore Beilman, Board Chairman 1967-2005 First, strengthen protections against development Mike Morsch Donna Kenyon near streams, rivers, and coastlines. As the saying goes, Regional Editor Executive Editor when you’re in a hole, stop digging.

Second, remove imperiled homes and businesses from harm’s way. According to a January 2017 report prepared for New Jersey Realtors, nearly 300,000 land
parcels are located within the 100-year floodplain in New Jersey’s nine eastern counties. And according to a column by Christopher Flavelle in Bloomberg (“A New Strategy for Climate Change? Retreat?” Aug. 22, 2016), the National Flood Insurance Program recorded 14,865 buildings in New Jersey that were damaged two or more times by flooding in the past decade, 4,373 of which were damaged at least four times. Since Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey has used state and federal funding to purchase and demolish hundreds of flood prone homes from willing sellers in 11 towns. Our next governor should heartily embrace this “Blue Acres” program to protect people from flooding while providing additional land to soak up flood waters. Third, require developers to build smarter. Every time we cover the earth with hard surfaces that are impervious to water, we cause our flooding problems to worsen. But there are ways to mitigate this problem by requiring builders and homeowners to install “green infrastructure” systems like rain gardens, cisterns, or dry wells, to catch storm water runoff generated by construction projects, and use the water or allow it to gradually percolate into the ground. Our state’s stormwater regulations require such actions to some degree, but only on large new developments. These measures must be strengthened to protect our communities from the unintended consequences of construction upstream from where people live and work. Municipalities need not wait for leadership from state government, however. Fourth, retrofit older developments to address flooding. Much of our state was developed long before there were concerns about runoff or flooding. To really address our flooding problems, we must address developments built before these regulations were adopted. A good time to do so is during redevelopment of old buildings. Every time a building is razed to make way for a new development or a parking lot is reconfigured, there’s an opportunity to address our flooding problems by implementing green infrastructure measures. State agencies and municipalities should seize these opportunities when reviewing redevelopment plans. The next governor must take bold action to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases so that our state does its part in preventing the worst extremes of climate change. But he or she must also lead our state in preparing for the inevitable extreme weather that will bring massive flooding.

Local school, golf course honored by Watershed Association
The Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association recently honored four local entities at its inaugural River-Friendly certification ceremony at the Watershed Center. Executive Director Jim Waltman and Science Director Steve Tuorto, praised the four participants for their stories of inspiration, hard work, and passion for environmental stewardship. The Sept. 26 ceremony honored TPC Jasna Polana golf course and Princeton Friends School, both in Princeton, as well as the Hightstown Housing Authority and The Pennington School. “Bringing our certified participants together to share their experiences and milestones energizes others to protect water quality where they work,” said River-Friendly Coordinator Brittany Musolino. Since 2004, the RiverFriendly Program has provided tools and guidelines for schools, businesses, golf courses and residents on ways to improve local environmental health. While each program has different requirements, they all focus on the core concepts of water quality management,
water conservation, wildlife habitat enhancement and outreach. The Pennington School and Princeton Friends School each earned the highest level of RiverFriendly certification by connecting students with local water bodies, ecosystems and issues impacting the natural environment. Students planted trees along the Stony Brook, enacted schoolwide composting and monitored water quality. Speaking to an audience of about 30 people at the recent River-Friendly recognition ceremony at the Watershed, Patrick Lynch, a science teacher at PFS, spoke about the need to pull children away from screens and encourage outside play time. The Pennington School’s Margo Andrews, who teaches environmental science, said her 11th and 12th grade students thrive on hands-on learning out of doors. Keith LePrevost, Executive Director of Hightstown Housing Authority (HHA), accepted an award for transforming the three-acre housing development for about 100 families into a demonstration site for stormwater management. The addition of rain gardens, drywells,
porous underground piping and rain barrels have helped to capture and recharge over 50% of the site’s stormwater runoff. He also worked to upgrade laundry and bathroom fixtures, saving an estimated 1.5 million gallons of water annually. Most recently, the housing authority switched to natural fertilizers. “We have 63 children under the age of 15 on our site, many of which love to play outside on the lawns,” he said. “That makes you think about what you’re putting on it.” Tim Connolly, Superintendent of Princeton’s Jasna Polana golf club, dedicated more than two years to the program. He and his staff worked to re-certify the golf course with projects such as native wildflower meadows, non-irrigated grass plantings and several other water conservation techniques, making them a RiverFriendly example for other courses in New Jersey. Waltman said he was thrilled by these RiverFriendly achievements. “These four serve as an inspiration to other businesses, golf courses and schools in improving the environment as workplace stewards.”

Police academy graduates 17th class Mercer County dignitaries and law enforcement officials from around the county gathered Sept. 28, 2017, to celebrate the graduation of the 17th basic class of police officers from the Mercer Police Academy. An audience of several hundred family members, friends, and members of a number of law enforcement agencies saw the class of 68 cadets receive graduation certificates to officially make them police officers. The commencement was held inside the gymnasium at Mercer County Community College (MCCC).

commitment, and to remain steady in your role - despite any obstacles or threats placed in front of you,” he said. Brian Morgenstern, a Montclair resident who will join the New Jersey Transit Police Department, was chosen by his fellow graduates as class speaker. He said that while cadets may have different reasons for pursuing a career in law enforcement, there remains a common thread. “For some of us it’s the pension system; for others it’s family tradition,” he said. “It’s most definitely not for the lavish pay. But there’s only one reason that’s shared by all police, and that is, we want to help.” He later reminded his fellow graduates of what they have achieved. “It’s all up to you now,” he said. “I no longer want to be a cop - I am a cop. We are cops. We are police. We are Class 17-17.” Also addressing the class were Agent Matt Kemp, Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office; Police Academy Director Martin P. Masseroni; Prosecutor Angelo Onofri; and Hopewell Township Police Chief Lance Maloney, president of the Mercer County Chiefs of Police Association. Also in attendance were Freeholders Ann Cannon, John Cimino and Pasquale Colavita; and Dr. Mark Harris, Vice President for Finance and Administration at MCCC. During training, the class studied in disciplines such as use of force, firearms, vehicle pursuit, hostage negotiation, advanced crime scene processing, and domestic violence prevention,
among others. Several cadets received awards at the graduation ceremony for their excellence in training. Casey Annuzzi, who is joining the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office, was chosen by his classmates to receive the Certificate of Merit awarded by the N.J. Police Training Commission to the best all-around graduate. Jonathan Erd, New Jersey Transit Police Department, received the academic award; Kevin O’Brien, New Transit Police Department, and Preetkaran Singh Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office, shared the firearms qualification award with perfect scores; Michael Cruse, Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, received the physical training award; and Ryan Hensperger, Alternate Route, received the emergency vehicle operations award. The Mercer Police Academy consists of two classrooms specially designed for the needs of law enforcement training, and recruits use MCCC grounds, its library and its gymnasium for training purposes. The campus includes a padded training room that is used for “defensive tactics” classes. A shooting range in Hopewell Township operated by the prosecutor’s office is part of the academy as well. The following is a list of the graduates, their hometowns, and the law enforcement agency each will join: Joseph Alpaugh of Parlin, Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office; Steven Ambrosino of Howell, Freehold Borough Police Department; Casey Annuzzi of Perth Amboy, Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office; Roman Babyak of See GRADUATES, Page 7

SITTING DISEASE Back aching? Suffering from poor posture? Noticed that the weight is creeping up? The diagnosis might be a metabolic condition coined “sitting disease.” Sitting disease is just what it sounds like: an increased risk of diabetes and heart attacks that comes from too much time spent sitting. Think about the morning commute, a whole day at work, another commute, and then an evening unwinding in front of the TV, and it’s really no wonder that we are in trouble. Regular exercise does not prevent or cure sitting disease. What does? Taking ten minutes out of every hour to be active. Stretch; bend; twist; park far from the building; and take short, brisk walks in order to add years to life. Standing is the easiest way to prevent sitting disease is to stand, and some office workers are investing in standing desks. Not only does standing burn up to 50 percent more calories than sitting, it is enough to prevent your metabolism from going into hibernation.

following the Clean Energy Pathway, the state could have a third of its power generation needs met by in-state renewable energy by 2030. According to the report, increased energy efficiency would reduce New Jersey’s total need for electricity generation 15 percent by 2030. The proposed Clean Energy Pathway mix in 2030 - which includes 17 percent offshore wind, 14 percent solar, 31 percent natural gas and 36 percent nuclear would cost about the same as the status quo.
But the new energy mix would lead to a 50 percent reduction in harmful emissions, allowing New Jersey to avoid significant public health and environmental costs. “The proposed expansion of renewable energy sources is projected to moderately increase electricity generation costs, but these costs would be offset by significant efficiency savings such that ratepayers would pay slightly less,” the report stated. “When factoring in the public health and environmen-
tal costs of carbon, the savings from the Clean Energy Pathway are even higher. By adopting sensible policies, New Jersey can affordably achieve sustainable emissions reductions.” ReThink Energy NJ isn’t the only group reaching this conclusion. According to a new report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, clean energy is quickly approaching the “tipping point” at which it becomes cheaper than fossil fuels. At a recent presentation in London, the group said technol-
ogy is cutting the costs of wind and solar installations, making it inevitable that clean energy will replace fossil fuels in many places around the world. According to Bloomberg, the first tipping point will come when the cost to build new wind and solar power generating facilities becomes lower than building new power plants that use natural gas and coal. The second tipping point will come when it’s more costly to operate existing coal and gas plants than to get power from
wind and solar. Clearly, the economic momentum is on the side of clean energy. New Jersey now has an achievable and affordable pathway to get there, and it is time to move ahead quickly. The public health and environmental costs of cleaning up and restoring communities devastated by extreme storms are not affordable or sustainable. It’s time for New Jersey’s elected leaders to put this state we’re in firmly on the path to clean energy. As Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria have shown, we
have no time to lose! For more information about the proposed Clean Energy Pathway, go tohttp://rethinkenergynj.org/ cleanenergypathway/.

Operation Friends Again volunteers will load the boxes onto a truck and drive it directly to the two schools, and will present a box directly to a child who has lost everything because of Hurricane Harvey. Empty gift boxes are available for free from the True Value hardware store at the ShopRite shopping center on Route 206, and at any one of the five Montgomery Township public schools. Each box should be prepared for one child, ages 4 to 14, with three or four changes of new clothing, underwear, pajamas, toiletries, and age-appropriate toys, games, magazines or puzzles.
Pillows and blankets, as well as non-perishable school snacks, are some of the items that could be packed in the boxes. School supplies, such as backpacks, markers, pens and paper, also are needed. Donors are encouraged to enclose a note to the child to make it a little more personal. Including one’s name and address will make it easier for the child to write a thank-you note to the donor. The gender and size of the clothing should be written on the boxes to make it easier to distribute them. The boxes should be packed full to avoid collapsing when they are stacked in the truck. It is not necessary to seal the boxes when they
are dropped off. Volunteers will seal the boxes. The boxes can be dropped off at any of the five Montgomery Township public schools, the school district administration building at the Montgomery High School campus, or the barn at the Daube Farm at 361 Sunset Road. Cash donations also would be welcomed. Checks should be made payable to Operation Friends and mailed to P.O. Box 200, Skillman, NJ 08558. The full donation will be used to help the children.

GUM DISEASE DANGER Recent research has indicated that gum disease poses more of a risk to health than the potential for tooth and bone loss. The severe form of gum disease known as “periodontitis” increases the risk of heart disease and other life-threatening conditions. The most recent evidence of a link between oral health and chronic diseases comes from research showing that patients with chronic kidney disease who also have periodontitis have a higher risk of death than chronic kidney disease patients with healthy gums. The fact is that inflamed and bleeding gums provide bacteria with a pathway to enter the bloodstream and make their way to other organs of the body. Dental and periodontal treatments can help eliminate this health risk.
Acknowledging the inherent connection between oral health and a patient’s overall health, your dentist will use many techniques to diagnose, treat, restore, and promote total patient wellbeing. We offer this column in the hopes of educating the general public about the benefits of oral health. If we can help by answering questions or by providing comprehensive dental care, please call us at 609-9248300. State-of-the-art dentistry and a dedicated professional dental team make Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, the ideal place to achieve optimum oral health.

P.S. Periodontitis is the sixth most common human disease.

Program on native plants scheduled year, the application started Oct. 2, 2017, and runs through April 30, 2018. To be eligible for LIHEAP benefits, the applicant household must be responsible for home heating or cooling costs, either directly or included in the rent; and have gross income at or below 200 percent of the poverty level. Clients may register at the McDade Administration Building, Room 106, 640 South Broad St., Trenton, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesdays until 6:30 p.m. through April 30, 2018. Clients also may be served during specific hours at County Connection, Route 33 at Paxson Avenue, Hamilton. County Connection hours will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon by appointment only, and Saturdays, Oct. 7 and 21, Nov. 4 and 18, and Dec. 2 and 16, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Steven Kristoph, a popular adjunct instructor at Rutgers and owner and operator of a plant nursery in Millstone Township, Monmouth County, will share his passion for native plants on Wednesday evening, Oct. 25. The program, sponsored by the Rutgers Master Gardeners of Mercer County, will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Hamilton Public Library, 1 Justice Alito Way, Hamilton Township. The talk is free to the public. Seating is limited, and preregistration is strongly recommended. Register by email at rmgofmcprograms@ gmail.com or call the Extension office at 609989-6830. In what promises to be an entertaining and educational evening, Kristoph will focus on native plants, reflecting the recent trend toward natives. Over the past 25 years there has been an increasing trend in the landscape industry toward using more native plants. Concerned over the invasiveness of some introduced species, environmental groups and others have succeeded in not only increasing awareness but have in some cases led the way to legislation that requires native plant use. The lecture includes mainstay natives as well as those demanding a second look for consideration, high-

Continued from Page 1 lenge of easing the pressure on students, on the one hand, but maintaining the “excellence” of the schools on the other. Race was another theme Monday. Tucker-Ponder, a former mayor of Princeton, who is black, said the district has “structural inadequacies” that contribute to “racial disparities … in discipline, the fact that our administration is not diverse, the fact that our faculty throughout our schools is not diverse and not reflective of the children and the population in our town.” Ponder’s daughter, Jamaica, had been suspended at Princeton High School, where she was a student in the past school year, over her photo collage, in the school yearbook, that included the n-word. “I think we need to have some fundamental changes in our curriculum, in our faculty, and we need to make the schools look different so people feel welcome,” Behrend said. The faculty of the school
district is about 85 percent white, with Deutsch saying the district needed to have teachers and administrators “who reflect the diversity of our community.” “I really believe that we can find, as a community, that our diversity is our strength,“ she said. The school system has sought to move in that direction, including having administrators visit career fairs at historically black colleges, something that happened last week at Hampton University. “We need to have people from different backgrounds in key leadership positions, be it in administration, be it in teachers, be it in staff,” said Fields, who is black. “Our students of color, students who are unrepresented, need to see people who look like them in key places, to be able to speak for them.” For Tuck-Ponder, she is making a political comeback. She left municipal government, but she decided to run for the school board. She said she has a “steep learning curve” in
Reed Continued from Page 1 “We want people to have a chance to confirm for themselves that these are issues. And then what I try to do is simplify it but also sort of provide a context for it,” she said. “I mean, there’s no point in discussing, for example, what you want the governor to do for the environment if you don’t have some understanding of what our fiscal condition is.” Later, she sized up the governor’s race between Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and former ambassador and Goldman Sachs executive Phil Murphy, the Democratic frontrunner. “I’m sort of surprised that neither party seems to be engaged in their candidate’s election, that it seems
to be the candidates are running their own campaigns and I don’t feel that energy of Democrats getting behind Murphy and Republicans getting behind Kim Guadagno,” she said. She said part of that is probably because people see the contest as a forgone conclusion, with Murphy ahead by double digits. A Monmouth University poll out this week has him leading her by 14 points. So while Murphy and Guadagno march toward Nov. 7, Reed will keep a close eye out. “If I weren’t doing this, I would be smelling the roses. It’s just so much fun,” she said. “I love being engaged with people who want to know and want to do things.”
Battle Continued from Page 1 “This is, for us, I’d say our most important opportunity that we’ve come across so far in three years that we’ve been doing Revolutionary War battlefield preservation,” Civil War Trust Chief Real Estate Officer Tom Gilmore told the Board. “It might be our most important opportunity, ever actually, in that sector.” After the hearing was over, Cherry and Tarr shook hands. The fight to protect a piece of American history had ended in a compromise, with both sides moving off their original positions to
find a solution they could live with. “We’re very satisfied with the outcome,” Cherry said. State Sen. Kip Bateman, R-16, who had fought to protect the land, issued a statement this week. “I am confident that this project will not cause the catastrophic damage that we would have seen with the original plan,” he said. “Although I will continue to keep a watchful eye on the construction, make no mistake - I believe our battle to save the battlefield has been won.”
how “education works.” “And one of the challenges, I think, of being a member of the board of education is to remember that you are a policy-maker,” she said. “So the thing I would say as a board member is we need to listen to people, we need to offer input, we need to offer guidance to those who are on the ground and have to do the work. But I’m a little concerned about getting in the weeds on,
specifically, how much homework people should have and what time school should start.” Monday’s forum drew a crowd that included current and former school board members, Mayor Liz Lempert and Councilman Tim Quinn, a past school board president. The six candidates get to do it again Sunday at a forum starting at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Church.

Young runners aid PHS cross country By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
Erica Oake knows exactly what Charlotte Gilmore is going through this year. Oake, a sophomore on the Princeton High girls’ cross-country team, had a successful freshman season that was as much about learning the sport as it was lowering her times. Gilmore, a freshman for the Little Tigers this year, is enjoying success on the course, but also learning about cross-country as she goes through her first varsity season. “I am happy with what I am learning and how I am racing,” said Oake, who helped the Little Tigers to a fourth-place team finish at the Bowdoin Classic in Wappingers Falls, N.Y., on Sept. 23. “When I was a freshman I didn’t know how to race the course. I had not run three miles and I didn’t know how to pace myself. “Now I am figuring out how to have just enough for a kick at the end but not be totally dead at the finish and get everything I can out on the course. I am training harder and the varsity workouts have helped me improve.” Oake enjoyed a successful freshman season for Princeton that included a 26th-place finish at the Mercer County Championship
meet. She’s off to an impressive start this season, as she finished 29th in the highly competitive race in Wappingers Falls. At that meet, Princeton was led by Chloe Taylor, who finished seventh. Gilmore, running in her first big invitational meet, placed 15th. “It is a lot different from middle school cross country,” Gilmore said of racing at the varsity level. “Everything is a lot more intense. But I like it a lot more. The team aspect is really something I like a lot. Without my teammates, I i would not have done anything. They help me in races and help me train and push me to do more. “Going into that meet, our older teammates warned Erica and I that it was a horrible course and it was very painful. I think them telling us that helped us. It was like the opposite of psyching us out. It was a lot different from dual meets. There were so many more teams lining up on starting line. It was intimidating because there were so many more runners than I was used to.” Oake and Gilmore are a pair of young runners who joined Taylor, a senior, as well as senior Lauren Cleary and junior Siena Moran in the top five at the Bowdoin Classic. Taylor finished in 20:38, while Gilmore’s 21:07 wasn’t far behind. Oake finished in 22:17,
while Cleary was 30th and Moran 36th in the race. Both Oake and Gilmore are hoping to help contribute to a successful season for the Little Tigers. “I ran varsity last year, which was fun,” said Oake, who posted a time of 20:57 at last year’s Mercer County Championship meet. “The girls were awesome. But I had a little bit of hip injury toward the end of the season and couldn’t finish off the way I would have liked to. “It was definitely a confidence booster breaking 21 minutes (at the Mercer County meet last year). It isn’t common for a freshman and new runners. I was being told it was uncommon by older runners so it was cool to be recognized by the older runners.” Gilmore will get a chance to run in another big meet atmosphere this weekend when she and the Little Tigers head to the Shore Coaches Invitational at Holmdel Park. The freshman came into the season ready to learn from her coaches and older runners and so far she has learned those lessons well. “I was not around a lot of the summer so I ran a lot on my own,” Gilmore said. “When I was around I went to some of the training things, which helped because I
got introduced to team and got to know the other girls. “I really like the team aspect on the high school team. Everyone is so close and supportive of each. I have surprised myself with how I have done this year. I am glad I was able to do it and grateful for the help I have gotten. I am hoping next year when I know a little more I can be even better.” The strong performance at Wappingers Falls should give the Little Tigers confidence as they head into the championship meet portion of the schedule. “That was a good race for us,” Oake said. “Chloe ran well. I was sick that day so I had some complications on the course. I was happy how I ran technically, but my pace and speed could have been faster. I am excited for our new runners. Charlotte is a new freshman who is learning. She is phenomenal. I also am excited for Siena, who is new junior who moved in.” Oake is feeling much better on the course with a year of experience under her belt. She came into the season more prepared and it has shown in her results. And Gilmore seems to be taking a similar path. The two young runners are doing their part to make this a special season for the Princeton girls.

Stuart volleyball takes step forward By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
The Stuart Country Day School volleyball program is in a transition stage. And the Tartans are excited about what lies ahead. Stuart is in its first season as a full-fledged varsity program. The Tartans had been a winter club program in the past, but this year Stuart has made the transition to playing at the varsity level in the fall, along with most of the other programs in New Jersey. “We have three seniors who are returning from the winter program and all the rest are new,” said first-year Stuart coach Anna Kachmarski. “This is our first year in the fall as a varsity sport. We used to play in the winter. I just recently joined Stuart. My assistant coach (Ken Ford) has been with the team the last few years. “We owe a big thank you to the seniors. They really pushed for the
program to move to the fall. It was definitely a team effort.” Seniors Grace Freundlich, Tanya Grover and Sarah Du were with the program last year when the Tartans played in the winter. But with only a handful of schools playing the sport in the winter, matches were tough to come by. This year the team has made the move to season when most schools play girls’ volleyball and has a full schedule of 12 matches. “The three seniors are helping the new girls make the transition,” said Kachmarski, whose program has a varsity and a junior varsity team this year. “Plus, Stuart promotes sports in general and extra curricular activities. The girls we have are such athletic girls. They have enjoyed learning the sport.” In addition to the three seniors, the rest of the Stuart varsity consists of Sam Humbles (middle hitter), Shirley Xie (libero),
Ronnie Zhang (defensive specialist), Maddy Freundlich (defensive specialist), Jasmine Lewis (outside/weakside hitter), and Nia Melvin (outside/weakside hitter). “We started with about 10 girls and they networked through the school and found some other girls who were interested,” Kachmarski said. “The girls enjoy it. They are just getting their skill sets and trying to get better each day. We definitely want to give our girls the best experience possible and help them any way we can.” The Tartans have yet to win a match and their goals for the season are modest. This season is one meant for development and growth of the program. “We have about 12 matches this season,” Kachmarski said. “We had two scrimmages and have competed so far against Blair, Trinity Hall and Phillipsburg. It has been going pretty
good so far. Achieving double digits has been a goal. We would like to win, but that is not our top priority. We want the girls to get to understand the sport and have fun. I think we are getting used it.” This year’s team is laying the groundwork for what Kachmarski hopes is future success for the program. The players are learning and having fun, which is what their coach wants to see from the team. “It is definitely a rewarding experience,” Kachmarski said. “The girls are just so happy to play. It’s nice to see their growth as players. They really are enjoying learning about the sport. “We definitely have faith in the program. It is our first year and the girls already are so excited. We started with 10 and already have expanded. I think more will come out for the team next year. The girls will be more experienced and skillful and bring in some friends. At Stuart it is all about family.”

Cougars look to carry recent success into SCT By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
Two years ago, the Montgomery High boys’ soccer team made a magical run through the Somerset County Tournament to earn a share of the championship. That team, which was made up heavy in seniors and experience, bears little resemblance to the current Montgomery team, which will open play in the Somerset County Tournament on Saturday when it plays as the host to Bound Brook. “That team was older,” Montgomery coach Rickey Steeb said. “The team we have now is a good mix of upperclassmen and underclassmen. They are a hardworking and close group that is just trying get better every day. We have a couple of guys who were on that team from two years ago. Charlie (Rodgers) started on that team.” Rodgers was a sophomore who played a key role
on the 2015 team. This year he is a senior co-captain who would love to see this current group make a similar run through the SCT. “I love this time of year,” said Rodgers, who leads the Cougars with three goals this season. “That is one of my goals, to play again in the final on Halloween. That was a great experience. I have been telling the other players about it. Everyone knows that was such a big game in our history as a team. Coach Steeb tells us that we can do it if we play the way we are capable of playing.” Montgomery is the No. 6 seed in the county tournament and received a firstround bye. They will meet 11th-seeded Bound Brook on Saturday, and with a victory, would play at thirdseeded Somerville. If the Cougars needed a boost of confidence, they got it last week when they defeated Somerville, 3-1. “It is a real exciting time,” said senior co-cap-
tain Trent Kettelkamp. “The (Bound Brook) game is on my birthday, so I am really pumped for that. We have been pretty good in our last four games. We’re 3-1 in our last four so hopefully we can keep that going. We lost to Hunterdon Central, who won the state Group 4 championship last year. So far this year we’re 4-0 in games we score. In all four of losses we haven’t scored. So that’s something we need to work out.” The Cougars opened the season 1-3, but have bounced back to win three of their last four heading into Thursday’s scheduled game with Franklin. The triumph over Somerville was a big one, as it showed the Cougars they can beat one of the top teams in the county. “Once we figured out our game plan and made adjustments, the season started to flow better,” Rodgers said. “We got out the issues in the beginning of the seasons. We had lost
to some good teams. But knowing we could beat Somerville, who is the three seed while we are six, shows we can beat anyone.” Rodgers scored twice in the decision over Somerville. The three goals the team scored matched a season high. “That was a great feeling and a boost of confidence,” Rodgers said. “We have had trouble scoring, so to get those goals and a victory against a team like that has boosted our confidence that we can play with any team.” Added Steeb: “That was a big win for us. They had six wins and to be able to play with them gives us confidence to beat a really good team. We played Hunterdon Central right before that and lost, 1-0. We felt we played pretty well in that game.” Montgomery has scored 10 goals in eight games, but has also been shut out four times. On the defensive end, the Cougars have allowed just 11 goals in the
first eight games. The Cougars are hoping the result over Somerville, as well as the recent string of success, is a sign they are playing their best at just the right time. Whether or not they can duplicate what the 2015 accomplished two years ago is still to be seen. “That was a really special group,” Kettelkamp said. “They had a special chemistry and were very motivated. It’s hard to compare because that was such a dynamic group of seniors. They had been through so much as freshmen when a lot of them played varsity and didn’t win a game that year. Charlie and I hope to bring as much of that motivation as we can. “It is a tough county. You have Pingry, Gill-St. Bernard’s, Bridgewater. We were able to beat the three seed so we feel we can beat any team. If we win on Saturday, we’ll see Somerville again.” Both Rodgers and Kettelkamp are unsure of their
soccer future beyond this year. So for now, they’re just focused on seeing this current Montgomery team make the most of the last month of the season. “I knew going onto this year this was probably my last year playing organized soccer,” Kettelkamp said. “So I put a lot into it and tried to get the other guys to put a lot into it. I feel like I am playing at the highest level I have ever played at this season because of the work I put into preparing for the season. “I was named a captain this year and I know that has a big responsibility. With the younger guys, you have to show them what it takes to win a county tournament and I think Charlie and I have done that.” Added Steeb: “Charlie and Trent have done a great job as leaders of this team. They’ve really helped bring along the younger players and that has led to some success for us the last few games.”
Tigers show youth in football loss to Columbia By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
Because the Princeton University football team has established itself as one of the Ivy League’s top programs, it is sometimes easy to forget just how young the Tigers are this season. Coming off their first loss of the season, the Tigers will play as the host to Georgetown on Saturday at 1 p.m. in their final nonleague game of the season. Princeton will line up on defense with just three senior defensive starters listed on their two-deep, as well
as starting three sophomores and a freshman. The inexperience was evident last Saturday when Columbia scored in the closing minute to pull out a 28-24 victory in Princeton. The game was the Ivy League opener for both teams. “They made plays,” Princeton coach Bob Surace said of Columbia after the loss. “That’s a team with seniors all over. They’re a good team. We’re not better than that team. We have a bunch of freshmen out there. We made some mistakes in discipline that I need to correct.
That team over there is a group of seniors at every key position. We took them seriously. We just came up a little bit short.” Princeton trailed Columbia, 21-14, late in the third quarter before rallying to grab a 24-21 lead with 2:48 left in the fourth period when Chad Kanoff connected with Stephen Carlson for a 27yard touchdown pass. The TD pass was the third of the game for Kanoff, who had thrown two earlier touchdown passes to Jesper Horsted. But Columbia came
back to grab the lead when Anders Hill completed a 63-yard touchdown pass to Ronald Smith. The Lions converted a third-and-10 play early in the drive, then scored the winning touchdown on a third-and-11 play. For the game, Columbia converted on 11 of its 21 third-down situations. “We didn’t do a good job stopping them on third down,” Surace said. “We were on the field way too much on defense. It probably affected us with our pass rush. There were some plays where we had some
miscommunication. We’ll fix that. “We have to be more disciplined. We made errors. I have to do a better job making them understand that these games .we have to execute better on third down. We are a very young team on defense. I have to do a better job of putting them in the right positions.” The loss put the Tigers in a tough position in the race for the Ivy title. They are now one of four teams opening 0-1, leaving them looking up at 1-0 teams Co-
lumbia, Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale. Overall, Princeton is 2-1 for the season. “The league from top to bottom is very strong,” Surace said.“We’re a little bit banged up and we don’t have the depth we’ll hopefully have in the coming weeks.” Senior linebacker Mark Fossati was injured in the loss to Columbia and is not expected to play against Georgetown. Sophomore John Orr, who made some big plays against Columbia, will start in his place.

George Street Playhouse is setting up shop in a theater on the Rutgers campus for the next two seasons By Anthony Stoeckert he management of George Street Playhouse has made it easy for audiences to find its new, temporary theater. Located on the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, the space George Street will call home for the next two seasons is the former New Jersey Museum of Agriculture, located on College Farm Road on Rutgers’ Cook Campus. A few turns off Route 1 lead visitors to the theater and signage so big it’s impossible to miss. And that’s coming from someone who gets lost just about any time he looks for a destination on the campus. Inside, the space is designed to be functional and welcoming. A ground-level entrance leads to a large area with a ticket counter and rest rooms. Off that is a space that will be used as a “cabaret” room, where audience members can relax and socialize before a performance. Most importantly, is the theater space itself. The room where shows will be performed used to be an exhibit hall, where pieces of farm equipment were on view. In addition to a stage and seating for about 200, it has space for a stage manager, lighting and controls. The smaller venue will result in a more intimate experience for audiences, and it also means George Street’s shows will run longer than the usual three weeks. Kelly Ryman, George Street’s managing director, says one question she's been asked is if the temporary space will mean folding chairs (some patrons even remember the days when the theater’s home was a former supermarket and used folding chairs), but these seats actually will be quite familiar, and very close to the stage. “We pulled the seats from the old theater,” Ryman says. “Some people were asking, Are you going to have folding chairs? No, these are the same theater seats.” The building also offers easy accessibility with no steps from the entrance to the theater, and even to the first few rows of seating. George Street will start welcoming audiences to this new, interim venue, beginning Oct. 10, with an updated version of “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,” the musical with a book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts. The show ran for more than 5,000 performances off-Broadway, from 1996 to 2008. George Street will be premiering this updated version of the comedy about dating and love in all its forms. The cast will feature Karen Burthwright, Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Mitchell Jarvis and George Merrick. David Saint, George Street's artistic director, will direct. It will run through Nov. 12. The season will continue with “An Act of God,” Nov. 28 through Dec. 23. In David Javerbaum's comedy, God takes human form and sets out to straighten out people’s misconceptions of the deity. Next up will be Christopher Demos-Brown's “American Hero,” Jan. 30 through Feb. 25. Following Demos-Brown's “American Son,” which George Street presented last season, the play is about an Iraq war hero, whose life starts to unravel when a fellow Marine shows up threatening to expose a hidden past. The play is the second of a projected trilogy about American injustice. Saint will direct the production. George Street Playhouse will present “Trying,” by Joanna McClelland Glass, March 13 through April 8. In the play, Frances Biddle, chief judge of the Nuremberg trials, fierce opponent of the Japanese internment camps during World War II, and attorney general under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is
Top photos: The front entrance and performing space at George Street Playhouse's temporary theater on College Farm Road on the Rutgers University campus.

81 years old and trying to put his life in order. He struggles to communicate with his new, young secretary and these two strangers with different lives influence each other. Wrapping up the season is Larry Shue’s comedy “The Nerd,” April 24 through May 20. The play opens as Willum is celebrating his birthday and is visited by Rick, a soldier who saved Willum’s life during the war, but who Willum never met face to face. In addition to presenting shows, George Street’s temporary home offers a space for events, classes, pre-show events and lectures. “Everything we did in the old building we’ll be able to continue to do here,” Ryman says. “We tried to imagine how we would continue all the programs before and even add to it.” George Street regulars will be happy to know there is on-site parking right next to the theater. Ryman says that lot will be available for patrons during performances. Parking nearby is not only convenient, it also makes it easier for people to eat at restaurants in downtown New Brunswick (home of George Street’s old space and theater of the future) and get to Rutgers in time for a show. The theater is getting the word out to patrons through its website and a volunteer who contacted subscribers to let them know about the new space and to answer any questions.
“Our new subscriptions are up a little bit,” Ryman says. “I think it’s a new space, so there’s been a lot of excitement about it. Also, the season’s a pretty great season, so I think the combination of things, hopefully, are a good recipe for people to be excited.” The plan is for George Street to call the theater at Rutgers its home for two seasons, and work is underway on George Street’s future home, the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, a $170-million public-private project. The space will include two theaters, rehearsal studios, class and office space, a 207-unit residential tower and 344-space parking garage. A groundbreaking for the new space took place Oct. 4. After getting a tour of the theater, I headed to my car, which was just a few steps away from the entrance. As I left, I saw something on the other side of the fence bordering the theater that I’ve never seen in downtown New Brunswick — horses grazing.
George Street Playhouse will present “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,” at the theater at 103 College Farm Road on Rutgers' Cook Campus, New Brunswick, Oct. 10 through Nov. 12. For more information, go to georgestreetplayhouse.org or call 732-246-7717.

Science and Culture Take Center Stage ‘Paradise’ at Passage Theatre tells the story of a teacher and an ambitious student
T
he mission of Passage Theatre in Trenton is to present plays that are socially relevant and examine our culture, diversity, and the issues we face. The first play of Passage’s new season certainly does all of that. Laura Maria Censabella’s “Paradise,” is a two-character play about Yasmeen (Lily Balsen) a Muslim student at a Bronx school taking a science class taught by Dr. Royston (Grant Shaud). Royston used to teach at Columbia, but his career was derailed and he has found himself teaching at a bad school in front of mostly uninterested students. Yasmeen is not uninterested. She is an excellent student but has failed one of Royston’s tests. She was distracted by something that led to the bad grade, and is desperate to re-take the test. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start. There is a bitterness in Royston. When Yasmeen tells him she needs to keep her perfect score, he replies, “We would all like to keep our perfect scores,” then comments that he won’t bargain with her like they’re haggling in over lentils at an Arabian souk. Yasmeen accuses Royston of being racist and threatens to report him. Royston says they can figure something out, and soon they’re talking about the science of love, Royston’s specialty. Yasmeen tells him she needs a perfect grade for a science scholarhip to Columbia. It will be a challenge, she’s a senior just taking her first year of biology, but Royston agrees to help her. “Paradise,” which Passage is staging through Oct. 22, covers cultural differences, education, and science. And writing it took some studying. “I spent two years researching the science,” Censabella says. “I had a vague idea of what the story would be but I didn’t know entirely. I needed as much science as possible so I could choose what I might need once the story took shape.” She started with the idea of a disgraced teacher working at a bad school, and a col-
laboration with a student. She also knew the play would examine the science of romantic love, which was included in her proposal for the commission from Ensemble Studio Theatre and Alfred P. Sloan. “As part of it, I knew his specialty was the science of romantic love,” Censabella says. “So then I knew that in some way this play was always going to be about romantic love — who doesn’t have questions about how to make love last and why does love die?” Another theme she wanted to explore was the idea of living communally or individually. “A lot of that came from my own family,” Censabella says. “My mother came from Italy and I have a very communal family culture, but how do you then become an individual in this society? That is a conflict that I actually lived myself.” Censabella taught in New York City public schools, and had students who were facing arranged marriages, which partly inspired her decision to make her student character Muslim. Her personal life also influenced that choice, as she his half Sicilian and because she was once in a relationship with someone who is Arab-American. “His family basically adopted me and I feel like I’m still part of the family in many ways,” she says. “I learned about ArabAmerican culture from a very emotional entry, so I felt I had that kind of emotional understanding of it, as well as the prejudice that is attached to being Arab-American. I felt I understood that on some level. I did have to do a lot of research on, specifically, Yemeni culture.” “Paradise” made its premiere at Central Square Theater in Boston. Before that, Ensemble Studio Theater held a reading of the play, which featured Shaud as Royston. Shaud, best-known for his role on the ’80s sitcom “Murphy Brown,” has performed at Passage and helped bring the play to Trenton. Following its run at Passage, the proSee PASSAGE, Page 4

Little Piece of Her Heart ‘A Night with Janis Joplin’ at McCarter Theatre brings the legendary singer’s music to life
J
anis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became an iconic rock ‘n’ roll queen. Thanks to “A Night with Janis Joplin,” written and directed by Randy Johnson, audiences can be transported back to the ‘60s, suddenly present for a rock concert by the legendary singer. The Janis Joplin musical will play McCarter Theatre Center, Oct. 10 through Oct. 29, with Kacee Clanton and Kelly McIntyre performing as Joplin in alternating performances. The cast also includes Sharon Catherine Brown, Tawny Dolley, Sylvia MacCalla, and Amma Osei. A live band accompanies the singers. “If you really listen to the show, ‘A Night with Janis Joplin’ is really a blues, rock opera, the way the lyrics carry the story forward,” Johnson says. “Janis became famous when it wasn’t easy to become famous. There was no artifice in the creation of Janis, it just happened. There was no room full of style consultants and image makers helping her.” The action of the story focuses on one random night in Joplin’s concert schedule, with small biographical tidbits about Joplin’s life spread throughout. While the production is a look into the life and career of Joplin, it also showcases her musical inspirations, including Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Nina Simone, and Bessie Smith. The genesis of the musical dates back almost a decade when Johnson was asked to take a meeting with the Joplin family by their manager. He was of course familiar with her music and knew the story of her death, but didn’t know much else. “They wanted to do a new show about Janis and we had an intense three-hour conversation about their recollections, and I was quite stunned about what I learned about her,” he says. “I learned Janis loved Broadway musicals and was an artist who designed her own clothes for the stage. The portrait that was painted during the meeting was this was a woman who was totally in control of her life, as much as she had demons.” Johnson was given copies of Joplin’s diaries and journals, as well as everything she had ever recorded. “I just lived with her writings and music, and didn’t read any of her bios because to me, that’s just another person’s opinion, and my way I was getting the real facts from her family and Janis herself,” he said. “I realized her influences were a lot of my own influences and a lot of her songs came from Broadway shows. For example, ‘Summertime’ came from ‘Porgy and Bess.’” One night at 3 a.m., Johnson woke up inspired, put on a pot of coffee, and 18 hours later had written the entire show. “I wrote her journey as an artist as if it was a concert a
Kacee Clanton is one of the two performers who will be playing Janis Joplin on alternating nights at McCarter Theatre. week before her death,” he says. “Janis tells the story of her life, setting her life straight about who she is, how she came to be and it’s the portrait I think Janis would have wanted to see.” Three months later, the show was on stage at Portland Center Stage, wowing critics and audiences alike. The show spent four months on Broadway, closing in February 2014 with an expected off-Broadway run followup never materializing. But rather than let the show die, producers planned a North American tour and the Janis Joplin musical has been wowing audiences ever since. “The show grows every time I do it,” Johnson says. “People come to me with a great identification of Janis.” Johnson is well regarded in theater circles for producing and creating legacy shows about famous singers, having been involved in shows about Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley and Conway Twitty. “There’s always a window that I try to jump into the story and give the audience something to connect to. I find straight bio shows, people kind of lose interest after a while,” Johnson says. “I think as a pop culture, people identify with the musicians as an everyday self.” Even die-hard fans of Joplin will walk away with something new from the show. One of Johnson’s favorite stories involves the Joplin family household on Saturdays when Janis’ mom would play recordings of Broadway musicals
and each member of the family would take a character and sing along. “Audiences will learn that Janis was an everyday woman in extraordinary circumstances,” Johnson says.
“A Night With Janis Joplin” will be performed at McCarter Theatre, 91 University Place, Princeton, Oct. 10-29. For tickets and information, go to mccarter.org or call 609-2582787.

Ballinger scheduled this season and selected “Paradise” to open the season, and new Artistic Director C. Ryanne Domingues says she’s thrilled Passage is presenting the play. “I was really, really excited that this was going to be our first play of the season,” Domingues says. “I went in, they had the initial read-through, (and saw) two unbelievably strong actors are working on the piece and everybody is just really high-caliber artists.” Domingues is one of the founders of
“We worked with other non-profit organizations and we about enacting social change through theater,” Domingues says.

I think this play really breaks that down and reveals a lot.” “Paradise” is being performed at Passage Theatre, 205 E. Front St., Trenton, through Oct. 22.

A Very Bard Halloween Shakespeare ’70 presents an evening of scenes devoted to humankind’s darker side
For 47 years, Shakespeare ’70 has been presenting plays, both by Shakespeare and other writers, but this month, the company is doing something different. Oh, it’s Shakespeare, but instead of a full play, Shakespeare ’70 is presenting, “Murder Most Foul: A Night of Shakespeare” at the Open Arts Performing Arts Center in Bordentown, Oct. 13-14. The show is designed to be a fastpaced, sometimes funny, sometimes fierce look at famous scenes, as well as some lesser-known Shakespeare moments. And the murder theme makes it appropriate for Halloween. “We wanted to give audiences [and our Company] another opportunity — a night of Shakespearean scenes and speeches, even a couple of songs, that we created together, around some over-arching theme,” says Janet Quartarone, one of the show’s directors and performers. “Something fast-paced, always changing, at turns funny and fierce, a fresh contemporary look at some iconic scenes, and some other pieces not as well known.” She adds that the company had talked about taking on this idea for a while. Meanwhile, the Open Arts Center was looking for something that would help audiences get to know Shakespeare. The company will return to the Open Arts Center in September with a contemporary play in the spring.
“We’re always looking for ways to engage both our company members and our audience,” says Curt Foxworth, another of the show’s directors. “Obviously we’re known for those full-length productions of Shakespeare, but we see the power and potential of staging Shakespeare in an alternative context.” The evening will include scenes from several of Shakespeare’s history plays, which Foxworth says aren’t often performed and feature characters with dark motives and which also have some humor. “So you’ll see scenes from ‘Richard III’ and ‘Macbeth,’ but also from lesser-known history plays like ‘Henry VI’ — where we see the younger but still twisted man who would become Richard III,” says producer Ray Fallon. Director Jake Burbage adds that the show will look at scenes from “Othello,” which makes sense as it’s about jealousy and envy, but also from some of Shakespeare’s comedies. “There’s a really mournful song from ‘Twelfth Night,’ and a scene about love, that turns dark, in ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’” Burbage says, adding that about a dozen shows are represented in the show. The company also is dipping into one of Shakespeare’s most obscure works, one the company hasn’t performed yet. “And — I think some people will say, ‘it’s about time’
— we’re doing a very famously murderous scene from ‘Titus Andronicus,’” Quartarone says. Performers in the show include Ray Fallon, Kayla McLaughlin, Michael Krahel, Amanda McCarther, Tim Kirk, Sarah Stryker, Ernie Albanesius, Janet Quartarone, Frank Falisi. The evening will be hosted by Brittany Rivera-Gonzalez. An evening spotlighting scenes from plays about leaders that say something about the darker side of human nature might lead to speculation that Shakespeare ’70 is saying something about today’s political scene but Foxworth says that isn’t the primary inspiration behind the idea. “Honestly, we were inspired by the season, but whenever you dig into Shakespeare’s work, you are going to find scenes, characters and speeches that speak to what’s going on in our world now,” he says. “So, even though our intention might have been to have some spooky autumnal fun, we are not shying away from exploring the still-current themes within these texts.”
“Murder Most Foul: A Night of Shakespeare” will be performed at The Open Arts Performing Arts Center, 146 Route 130, Bordentown, Oct. 13-14, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $20; www.openartspac.org; 609-424-3058.

Louise Kekulah and her son Malcolm at her home, which she found through the help of Housing Initiatives of Princeton.
A baby gate, and so much more A “Rent Party” benefit will support Housing Initiatives of Princeton Housing Initiatives of Princeton has given the word ‘gate’ a new lease on life — the same service HIP provides for humans. ‘Gate’ in the past few decades has become a dirty word. It started with Watergate, which opened the floodgates of ‘gate’ as a suffix to imply the existence of a scandal — everything from Pizzagate to New Jersey’s Bridgegate. And now there is Babygate. Kingston resident Louise Kekulah wrote a letter to HIP board members about a gate, a baby gate that eloquently freed the term ‘gate’ from its negative demons. The 24-year-old single mother, a Rutgers graduate who intends to pursue a Ph.D. in sociology, lives with her 1-year-old baby Malcolm in a Princeton Housing Initiatives “transition-housing” apartment in Kingston. She wrote the following to the HIP board: Your commitment and hard work has not gone unnoticed, as a result, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the compassion you have all shown my son and me. I appreciate your gracious service of installing the child protective gate in our home. I was very excited and filled with so much joy when I noticed that the gate was installed. Therefore, I am writing this letter to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your dedication and enthusiasm you have shown us. It is the little things that count and you all have exemplified how important it is to have a strong support team. For instance, when I received my citizenship I received a congratulatory card in the mail. There is absolutely no word in the dictionary to
have expressed how I felt after opening the card and reading it. You guys are amazing and the best family anyone could wish for in this lifetime! HIP has made me feel completely loved. I will never forget how my life changed for the better after our first encounter with one another. I am deeply humbled by the generosity of Housing Initiatives of Princeton in supporting Malcolm and me in other initiatives such as, putting a roof over our heads and ensuring that we become successful despite the turmoil life brings. Having a diverse group of educated women around me with knowledge and experience to confer with has made me feel so much more confident in this competitive world. I one day look forward to being in [a] similar position to serve others and give them just as much hope as you guys have given me. The Babygate story is fodder for an inspiring religious sermon rather than a scandal-focused tabloid. Carol Golden, HIP chair, explained the wonderful simplicity of the baby-gate donation. “Louise’s family liaison bought a baby gate before the baby Malcolm was crawling, because the HIP apartment is on the second floor, and we were worried about the baby falling down the stairs,” Golden said. “Then as the baby began crawling, we knew the gate had to be put up as soon as possible. The husband of one of our board members determined that it wasn’t just a pop-in gate, and Louise might have problems with the installation. Carpentry was needed. I called the apartment complex where Louise lives and tracked down the handyman. Louise came home from work one day and found the gate installed.”
Kekulah said the gate and the support her HIP family gives here is a miracle, especially since she doesn’t have any relatives living nearby. “HIP not only has provided housing that I could afford, but also provided an entire family for me,” said Kekulah, whose immediate family is in Liberia with other relatives scatted throughout the United States. “I feel very taken care of.” HIP came into her life at a point when she was determined to survive, but lacked a strategy to do so. Immigrating to America from Monrovia, Liberia, when she was 7 years old, Kekulah did very well in the public schools, graduated from Rutgers University with a double major in psychology and criminal justice, became a U.S. citizen in 2017, and was preparing to go to graduate school in pursuit of a career of “helping others.” Suddenly, she found herself in a position of being the one who desperately needed help. She had a baby, whose father abandoned Kekulah and their child. Kekulah was renting one room in a house, and the arrival of the baby made this living situation unsatisfactory to her landlord. Existing on her salary as a clerk at QuickCheck, she had no idea where to turn other than to the internet. Searching for affordable housing, she came across Housing Initiatives of Princeton. “God answered my prayers,” she said. Kekulah will turn 24 Oct 14, coinciding with HIP’s “Rent Party” benefit at which Louise and Malcolm will be celebrated. Also celebrated at the event will be the generous members of the community who lease housing to HIP for minimal return (tenants’ rents are based on the ability to pay). Housing Initiatives of Princeton’s
Rent Parties provide an opportunity for neighbors to help neighbors, by donating money to support transitional housing, emergency rental assistance and wrap around supportive services, such as installing a baby gate. Louise’s two-bedroom condo is owned by Gavin Thomas, who connected with HIP, when he, like Louise, was in his mid 20s, but in very different circumstances. Gavin became aware of HIP thanks to his mother Annie Thomas. She worked for 13 years as the parish administrator for Trinity Church Princeton, one of the organizations that played a pivotal role in the birth of the HIP initiative in 2001. I was unable to talk to Gavin, who now lives in Washington DC, but did track down Annie Thomas. Gavin on his 25th birthday was “so very fortunate to receive some funds from his grandparents,” Thomas said. Although Gavin was reluctant to be a landlord of any sort, his mother, familiar with the HIP model, suggested that he could use his gift to purchase a residential property, lease it to HIP, and help provide some much needed relief to others, while simultaneously protecting the value of his gift. “HIP tenants are the most responsible of tenants, and so I would recommend this model to anyone who is indeed able to offer this fantastic mission their support,” said Thomas, urging others to open the gates of their residential properties and welcome HIP clients.

Dr. Rohit Bhalla, D.O.
Protect yourself against the flu: get vaccinated
October is here, time for watching the leaves change, picking pumpkins, and . . . getting a flu shot? That’s right. Flu season typically runs from October through April so now is the time to protect yourself against the highly contagious virus by getting vaccinated.
Who should get vaccinated? Anyone over 6 months of age should receive an annual flu vaccine. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. Since 2010, the CDC estimates that the flu has resulted in between 140,000 and 710,000 hospitalizations each year. In addition, in recent years flu-related deaths have ranged from a low of 12,000 to a high of 56,000. Children, older adults and individuals with compromised immune systems are at an increased risk for the flu and are especially vulnerable to flu-related complications.
How does the vaccine work? First, it is important to note that there are many different flu viruses and they are constantly changing. Each year, vaccines are updated to match the most commonly circulating flu viruses. Depending on the vaccine, it protects against three or four strains of the virus, and though the vaccine may not protect against all strains of the virus, should you get sick, it helps reduce the severity of the illness and associated symptoms.
The vaccine, which is not a live virus, works by triggering your body to produce antibodies which will guard against infection should you be exposed. Once vaccinated, it takes about two weeks for antibodies to build up to full force, which is why it is important to get vaccinated now before the season peaks. This season, only injectable flu vaccines (flu shots) are recommended, even for children. Though nasal sprays have been used in prior seasons it is not recommended this season because of concerns the nasal spray might not work well. Some children 6 months through 8 years of age will require two doses of flu vaccine for adequate protection. Talk to your pediatrician about what is recommended for your child. Can I get the flu from the vaccine? No. You cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine, as the vaccine is not a live virus. The most common side effects from the flu shot are soreness, redness, tenderness or swelling where the shot was given. Lowgrade fever, headache and muscle aches also may occur, but they are typically mild and last for only a day or two. Remember, the vaccine takes two weeks to be effective so if you are exposed to the virus during that period, you are not protected. Where can I get the vaccine? Flu vaccines are typically offered in doctor’s offices and at many pharmacies. College health centers, some schools and even some employers may also offer flu shots. No matter where you go for the vaccine,
Dr. Rohit Bhalla the important thing is getting it. What do I do if I get the flu? If you have symptoms of the flu — cough, sore throat, fever, muscle or body aches — stay home, rest and drink fluids. Most people with the flu have mild illness, according to the CDC, and do not need treatment. However, people who have moderate to severe symptoms or have other co-existing conditions such as lung disease or heart disease are at increased risk for complications from the flu and should seek medical attention. Doctors can prescribe antiviral medica-
tion that may speed up your recovery time and prevent the risk for serious complications. Antiviral drugs work best when administered within 48 hours of getting sick. How else can I prevent the flu? In addition to getting the flu vaccine, taking everyday precautions can help protect you and others against the contagious disease. Wash your hands regularly with warm, soapy water. If you don’t have access to water, use hand sanitizer. Cough and sneeze into your elbow or shoulder to minimize droplets that may contain the flu virus from spreading through the air. Typically it takes a few days for flu symptoms to occur once you are infected. Therefore, you could be spreading the virus without even knowing it. F lush used tissues down the toilet. Minimize exposure to people infected with the flu. If someone you are in close physical contact with comes down with the flu, your doctor may be able to prescribe medicine to help prevent you from getting sick too. The flu virus is a serious disease, one that can become life threatening in some cases. Protect yourself and others. Get vaccinated today.
