Hillsborough Education Association aiming to resolve staffing problems By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
Staffing issues have come about in the Hillsborough Township Public Schools. According to Hillsborough Education Association (HEA) President Henry Goodhue, there has been a 44% increase of teachers retiring or resigning from their positions in the school district over the last year. Goodhue said there are different reasons for staff departing, but states issues surrounding COVID-19 and the way the school district has handled bringing staff and students back into the schools “exacerbated” the situation. Before the school district began its hybrid model in September, the HEA posted a statement on its Facebook page that referenced concerns teachers had of
working in an unsafe work environment due to construction work still being done around certain schools for the referendum project. Other issues included teachers not having the choice to only teach virtually due to safety and health concerns surrounding COVID-19. Goodhue said teachers were denied any virtual-only accommodations and have had to participate in the hybrid model since it began. All of this comes on the heels of budget cuts over a year ago that eliminated 56 positions in the school district, he said. “Safety is of utmost importance,” Goodhue said. “We have expressed our concerns with the hybrid model since the start of the school year. Being safe is what everyone wants.” The HEA members have
voiced their concerns on the staffing shortage in the district to the Hillsborough Township Board of Education (HBOE) for more than a year, he said. “We will continue to push for more qualified people to be put in the classroom for the students,” Goodhue said. Goodhue added that the HEA is hoping to create a more open dialogue with the members of the board in 2021. The HBOE ushered in new members Cindy Nurse and Paul Marini last week. Jean Trujillo was elected president of the school board, while Jane Staats was appointed vice president of the board. Nurse is an educator in the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District, while Marini has served as treasurer of the Hillsborough Elementary Home and
School Association. Both members were endorsed by the HEA in November’s election and Goodhue believes that collaboration between the new board and the association is possible. “Having open dialogue will help meet the needs of both the staff and students,” he said. Hillsborough resumed its hybrid model on Jan. 11 after the school district went fully virtual during the first week of the New Year to combat any sort of fallout of possible COVID-19 cases from the holiday break. The school district was shut down for two weeks at the end of November due to a rise of COVID-19 cases in the area and in the state. Goodhue said everyone is still waiting to see the full impact of the holiday season and it has
raised concerns with HEA members. Through all the chaos that has resulted from the coronavirus pandemic this school year, Goodhue said he and his fellow teachers want things to get to a “new normal” where they can safely teach their students in person. Goodhue said it has been “taxing” for both students and teachers dealing with the restrictions of both the hybrid model and virtual learning. “Teachers want to be in their classrooms and get things back to normal,” Goodhue said. “We strive for interaction with our students and being in school to teach them. We just want to be ensured that our safety is in place to do so.” Administration from the school district could not be reached by press time.
NFL Hall of Fame running back Floyd Little passes away at age 78 By STEVEN BASSIN

Staff Writer
Floyd Little didn’t do speeches, he told stories from the heart. Bordentown City Mayor James Lynch still remembers to this day that statement the National Football League legend told him. Growing up watching Little shred defenses during his two years on the Bordentown Military Institute (BMI) football team, Lynch got to know the NFL Hall of Fame running back as a great person off the field as well. Lynch’s father, James Lynch (Sr.), would have Little over for dinner a lot and the family became in awe of the family oriented and caring person that Little was. His attitude, enthusiasm and work ethic to succeed on the field and thrive in life was inspiring to see unfold in college and at the professional level. In retrospect, Little “epitomized” what the Bordentown community is, in the eyes of Lynch. “It’s how I envision Bordentown to be,” Lynch said. “Great residents and hard working people working together to help everyone live a great life in a good town. Floyd (Little) fit this place like a glove.” On New Year’s Day, many football fans and people around the county mourned the passing of Little, who died at the age of 78. Little was battling Stage 2 neuroendocrine tumor cancer, and it was reported in November that he had entered hospice care.

A flag to honor NFL Hall of Fame running back Floyd Little hangs at the former site of the Bordentown Military Institute. Floyd passed away at the age of 78 on New Year’s Day.
“It felt like I lost my father again,” Lynch said of hearing the news of Little’s passing. “He was a true professional and a caring person. He always made athletes and people feel good about themselves.”
Before Little became a star running back for the Syracuse University football team and had a Hall of Fame career for the Denver Broncos that spanned nine seasons, he captured the hearts of Bordentown every Saturday afternoon
from 1961-62 as a cadet. Lynch remembers going to every game those two seasons to watch Little score “five to six touchdowns” each contest and lead BMI to back-to-back 8-0 undefeated seasons. Little’s number 77 was retired by BMI in 1963, after he graduated from the institute as president of his class. Little never forgot his time in Bordentown. He was honored at City Hall for being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010. Lynch remembers Little telling him how much BMI and the Bordentown community meant to him when he returned to the area for his ceremony in 2010. “Some good people saw good in me and helped me,” Lynch recalled Little told him. Little was the sixth overall pick by the Broncos in the 1967 NFL Draft. During his nine seasons in the NFL, Little rushed for 6,323 yards and 43 touchdowns. He was a five-time Pro Bowler and retired in 1975 as the seventh leading rusher in the history of the league at the time. Little was a three-time AllAmerican at Syracuse, compiling 2,704 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns during his collegiate career. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983. Syracuse and the Broncos have

both retired his number 44. President-Elect Joe Biden and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell both paid tribute to Little in statements made on Jan. 2. Biden, who attended law school at Syracuse when Little was there, called the Hall of Fame running back a “good man” and said that he is going to miss his dear friend in a press release. “Floyd Little and I were students at Syracuse University together,” Biden said. “In the years that followed, I got to know Floyd as the man behind the number. He was full of character, decency and integrity. He was always gracious with his time with fans — parents and grandparents who wanted to introduce their children and grandchildren to a genuine role model.” Goodell spoke out about how fortunate he was to get to know Little and see his impact on others first hand. “Floyd Little was not only a Hall of Fame running back, he was a Hall of Fame person. Faith, family and football were the pillars of his life,” said Goodell. To honor Little and his impact on the Bordentown community, Lynch has directed all flags in Bordentown City to be flown at half-staff for 30 days. Little is a native of New Haven, Connecticut. He is survived by his wife, DeBorah, and their three children, Marc, Christy and Kyra.
Affairs where she served as the liaison to local officials in Mercer and Hunterdon counties. She began her career in government with Coleman in constituent relations. A graduate of Rider University, Gaskins takes great pride in mentoring the next generation of civic leaders by volunteering with New Leaders Council-New Jersey. She also is an advisor to the Mercer County Young Democrats. The 16th Legislative District includes South Brunswick, Princeton, Montgomery and Hillsborough.

Saturdays, through March 13
The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s (PPPL) 36-year tradition of offering weekly informative talks on a wide variety of science subjects continues with a live online version. The Ronald E. Hatcher Science on Saturday Lecture Series resumes from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Saturdays through March 13, on the Zoom virtual meeting platform. The series kicks off with a lecture on “The Renaissance of the Stellarator Fusion Concept,” by PPPL physicist David Gates, head of Advanced Projects. Stellarators, a type of fusion energy facility that has twisty coils, were invented by PPPL founder Lyman Spitzer in the 1950s. The complex devices have been a less popular choice for fusion experiments than donut-shaped tokamaks but are making a come-back as scientists find new approaches to stellarator design. Other highlights include a talk by Geeta Govindarajoo, professor of chemistry at Rutgers University, on the intersection between chemistry and art. Govindarajoo will discuss the role of chemistry in creating and restoring art and detecting forgeries. Post questions for the speaker by tweeting to @ PPPLsSciEd or #scionsat. The remaining schedule is: • Jan. 16: Arvind Narayanan, a computer scientist and professor at Princeton University, “How to Recognize AI Snake Oil” • Jan. 23: Geeta Govindarajoo, of Rutgers University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, “Chemistry and Art: Like Dissolves Like.

Telehealth Helps Individuals with Mental Health Disorders Stay Connected For people living with mental health disorders, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a unique set of challenges. Not only has the pandemic exacerbated feelings of fear and anxiety, but it also has disrupted how individuals connect with each other, including with their therapist. Maintaining a human connection, however, is critical to maintaining your mental health and key to treating disorders such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. At Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health, the transition to telehealth during the pandemic has enabled patients to connect virtually, ensuring they continue to have access to the programs, care, and human interaction they need. Millions of Americans Millions of Americans are affected by mental health conditions – most commonly depression and anxiety – every year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). As NAMI reports, 1 in every 5 adults living in the United States experiences some form of mental illness, while one in every 20 experience serious mental illness. In addition, 17% of young people ages 6 to 17 experience a mental health disorder. Though everyone is different, in general, warning signs of a potential mental health disorder can include: • Feeling sad or withdrawn for more than two weeks • Drastic changes in mood, behavior, personality, and sleeping patterns • Irritability and uncontrollable anger • Difficulty concentrating or staying focused • Substance abuse • Inability to carry out daily activities or handle problems and stress • Excessive worry or fear • Feeling as if your quality of life is not what you want it to be • Thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or attempted suicide
If you’re concerned about your mental health, talk to your doctor or consult a mental health professional. Once diagnosed, many mental health disorders can often be effectively treated with therapy, medication, or a combination of the two. It is also important to note that individuals without a mental health diagnosis can benefit from therapy and counseling too. Therapy can support personal growth and can help with a range of issues such as communicating effectively, managing expectations at work and school, even public speaking. Telehealth Shows Positive Outcomes Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health offers inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment programs that are customized to meet the needs of children, adolescents, and adults, with specialized programs for men and women. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Princeton House has been providing intensive outpatient treatment programs via telehealth. Through the use of a secure video conferencing platform, patients are able to participate in individual and group therapy sessions from the comfort and safety of their home. In addition, through telehealth, patients have virtual access to medication check-ins with psychiatrists, family meetings, and yoga, music, and art therapies. Telehealth utilizes video conferencing, which provides the ability to see body language and expressions. This helps patients and therapists maintain human connection while social distancing. The use of telehealth has also expanded the availability of mental health services for patients who have trouble accessing in-person care because of issues such as distance or transportation. Early research among adult Princeton House patients shows that there is no difference in treatment outcome between in-person therapy and teletherapy. Adult Princeton House outpatient survey results indicate: • 94% feel that receiving virtual treatment is helpful • 63% would consider using virtual treatment even if in-

person treatment was available Tips for Effective Telehealth Sessions Typically to participate in telehealth, patients must: • Have a smartphone tablet, laptop, or desktop unit with a camera and microphone • Have access to the internet • Have a quiet space in which to connect with treatment Other tips for an effective telehealth session include: • Set the scene. Find a space with minimal distractions. Center yourself on the screen so you are visible from the waist up, enabling your therapist and other participants to see your body language. Sit up tall with your device’s camera at eye level. Use soft, diffused natural lighting when possible. • Arrive on time. In fact, give yourself a few extra minutes to transition to your telehealth session from whatever else you were doing beforehand. • Stay present. Avoid multitasking. Close out other programs or apps on your device to limit distractions. Put a “Do not disturb” sign on your door. • Dress appropriately for a public setting. • Hydrate. Keep a glass of water nearby and make sure to take a sip every now and then. • Do a test run with the technology before your first session so you know it works. • Don’t forget you’re on camera. Even though they’re not physically in the room with you, people can see what you’re doing. Here to Stay Throughout the pandemic, telehealth has helped patients with mental health disorders feel less isolated and has provided a connection with others through these challenging times. Even when the pandemic subsides, it is expected that telehealth will be here to stay. Most insurances, including Medicaid, cover telehealth services.

PHOTO COURTESY OF PRINCETON FESTIVAL
Becky Brett is the new interim executive director of the Princeton Festival.
The Princeton Festival has appointed Becky Brett, an award-winning leader of festivals in the performing arts and humanities, as its interim executive director. Brett will oversee the festival’s 2021 season, help strengthen its professional staff, and take a role in fundraising, among other duties. “We feel very fortunate to have found an interim executive director of Becky’s talent and experience to move us through a phase of leadership transition,” Benedikt von Schröder, chair of the Princeton Festival Board of Trustees, said in a prepared statement. “She brings the ideal combination of creative thinking, management knowhow, and interpersonal skills to the position.” “I can’t wait to work with the talented artistic and production staff at the Princeton Festival,” Brett said in the statement. “I’m excited to join an organization that is interested in preserving musical traditions while innovating performing arts and outreach programs at the highest level.” A graduate of Northwestern University, Brett spent her early career in Chicago with Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Chicago Humanities Festival, and the Chicago Improv Festival (among other organizations). She also co-founded and produced Atlanta’s Spontaneous Combustion Festival. Brett became executive director of the Virginia Highlands Festival in 2012. She has created new events for the 70-year-old arts and culture organization, increased sponsorship dollars by 30%, and forged strong alliances with local government and institutional partners, according to the statement. Since 2016 she has also been advising, consulting, and coaching non-profit leaders, helping them increase revenue, improve communications, and build strategic partnerships. In 2019 she was invited to present a TEDx talk on “The Art of Connection.”

Needless to say, it’s been a truck/SUV vault to bring back the iconic Land Rover Defender. smashing success. The new Land Rover DefendThe Land Rover Defender 110 – which is what I am re- er line recently won accolades as viewing this week – was actually it was named Motor Trend’s 2021 styled after a very rugged British SUV of the Year. four-wheel drive off road vehicle “We are thrilled to honor the first produced in 1948. This steel- Land Rover Defender with our
SUV of the Year award,” says Motor Trend Editor-in-Chief Mark Rechtin. “Part of the word ‘transportation’ is not just driving but the feeling of being transported. The moment you get into a Land Rover Defender you are transported. Every design element gives the sense of journey, safari, moving outward into the world with courage.” Needless to say the folks at Land Rover were thrilled with the truck of the year award. “It’s a great achievement and an honor for the new Defender to be selected as the SUV of the Year from Motor Trend,” says Joe Eberhardt, president and CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America. Personally, I first saw the new/ old look Defender at the Philadelphia car show in 2019 where it was unveiled in a sneak peak presentation. I was impressed then with its new, but ruggedly old, look. But, of course, I didn’t get a chance to drive it. More recently I had the privilege of jumping behind the wheel
of the 2020 Land Rover Defender 110 SE – the four-door version – for one week for some real-life road testing. The first thing I noticed about this new Defender was how ruggedly awesome it looks. My tester had a Gondwana Stone colored exterior with black rimmed, off-road 19 inch tires with an Ebony leather interior. The Gondwana Stone is a light green that suits this vehicle just fine – giving it a militarylike look. The next thing you notice, after you jump into this rig, is how it was designed to be a sporty or utilitarian type vehicle but at the same time it is loaded with all the most modern tech. The 10-inch touch screen infotainment system is one of the best in the business and the back up camera and surround camera system is simply astounding in its clarity and usefulness. However, at the same time, the interior is Jeep rugged. There are no carpeted mats. Instead it is outfitted with very durable allweather terrain mats, so if you accidentally drag some mud into the vehicle there will be no worries. Moreover, the grab handles, shelving and compartments are comprised of a tough, polyurethane composite that lends itself to taking this vehicle on a safari with you. In regular around town driving, the Defender performs well. It is comfortable to drive, a bit top heavy because it has a high center of gravity, but overall it handles well, takes bumps extremely well and is a pretty good highway cruiser as well. But, that isn’t where this vehicle really struts its stuff. To really get the feel of the overall competence of this truck, you have to take it off road. The folks at Motor Trend took their Land Rover Defender to the rugged terrain of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast when they tested
it.
Obviously, I didn’t have that luxury. But, the sandy trails of South Jersey’s Pinelands would have to do for my test drive. Needless to say, if the newly redesigned Defender was able to chew up the terrain of Namibia and win truck of year honors at the same time, handling the sandy Pinelands trails was kid stuff. And, it was. The Defender performs best when it’s chewing up sand and gravel beneath its wheels and spitting it all out with ease. It holds the off-road quite nicely and you feel very confident that whatever mud puddle, sandy patch or small log that gets thrown in its path, you could handle it with ease. My tester Defender 110 SE had a base price of $62,250. However, after options and destination and delivery it had a bottom line sticker price of $72,780. Added options included but weren’t limited to: $1,020 for the driver assist package (adaptive cruise); $700 for a cold climate package (heated steering wheel); $2,080 for advanced off-road package; $1,750 for a sliding panoramic roof. The government’s EPA fuel consumption ratings for this vehicle come in at 19 miles per gallon overall with 22 mpg in highway driving and 17 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates the annual fuel cost of operating the Defender to be $2,550 as it uses 5.3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. This vehicle has not been safety crash tested yet by the government. My tester was powered by a 3.0 liter, six cylinder engine that puts out 395 horsepower.
