Three men sworn in as latest East Windsor police officers By Lea Kahn Staﬀ Writer

Three new police officers were welcomed into the ranks of the East Windsor Township Police Department by Mayor Janice S. Mironov during a swearing-in ceremony. The mayor administered the oath of office to Robert M. Galvin, Nicholas A. Hoffmann and Brian T. Rust in the Township Council meeting room as East Windsor police officers stood along the walls of the chamber. “We take a lot of pride in mu-

nicipal government and how we deliver services,” Mironov said, pointing out that the police department is a “high delivery” police department. Police candidates undergo a vetting process so the same high quality is maintained in the department, she said. The three new officers stood out and they “will bring good, basic qualities to the police department,” she said. “I congratulate these new police officers who have the good career fortune to join an outstanding professional and community caring organization of officers,”

Mironov said. “You will find a satisfying career and a supportive police department. Have a successful, enjoyable career,” the mayor told Galvin, Hoffmann and Rust. Galvin graduated from the Cape May County Police Academy in 2016. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Stockton University. He worked at a private personal security company before joining the police department. Hoffmann graduated from the Essex County Police Academy in 2017. He earned a bachelor’s de-

gree in criminal justice from Penn State University in 2010. He was previously a membership counselor at the New Jersey Athletic Club. Rust, who is coming to East Windsor from the Gibbsboro Police Department, earned a bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University in 2013. He graduated from the Gloucester County Police Academy in 2014. Chief of Police James Geary thanked Mironov and the members of the Township Council for taking time “for this prideful, joyous moment.” It is a tremendous

task to vet candidates, he said, thanking the police department’s command staff for their help. “We found three outstanding candidates to join the East Windsor Township Police Department,” Geary said, adding that the new officers have a variety of life experiences and education. “They will be a great addition to the police department. “I wish you a long, prideful career, just as I have had,” Geary said as he welcomed the three new police officers into the East Windsor family.

Boy Scout offers plan to improve Community Garden

By Lea Kahn Staﬀ Writer

Gardeners and others who frequent the East Windsor Township Community Garden will have a place to get out of the sun, thanks to the efforts of Boy Scout Cameron Watkins. Cameron, who is a member of Boy Scout Troop 59, has proposed building a shade structure over a bench at the Community Garden off Disbrow Hill Road. Cameron, 15, outlined his project before Mayor Janice S. Mironov and members of the Township Council in preparation for submitting his proposed Eagle Scout project to Boy Scout authorities. Cameron said he knows from firsthand experience, having worked at the Community Garden, that it is hot and there is nowhere to get out of the sun. The garden is in an open field. “The people I talked to at the Community Garden mentioned it,” he said. “A shade structure would given them relief from the sun and improve the aesthetics. There are no trees to provide shade or anything.” The shade structure Cameron is proposing to build would be 8 feet tall, 8 feet wide and 6 feet deep, and it would have a full roof to provide shade over the bench. Council members were receptive to Cameron’s proposal and commended him on his presentation. “That’s a great idea,” Councilman Marc Lippman said, adding it was obvious Cameron put a lot of time into the project and the reSee SCOUT, Page 3A

Slime time Area kids were encouraged to get a little messy on June 9 as they made green Jell-O slime during the Hickory Corner Library’s Make Jell-O Slime Program. During the day’s activities, kids mixed powdered gelatin, clear glue and starch to create their slimy concoctions. Green food coloring was added to the mix to give it that added slime look. Above, Violet, 6, Milo, 8, and Melody Naes, 6 of East Windsor, play with the final product of their green Jell-O slime. Right, Harrison, 6, and Wyatt Cesaro-Golding, 3, look on with wonder as they mix the ingredients together.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Love Jersey fruit? Thank our native pollinators!

For many New Jerseyans, it wouldn’t be summer without blueberries, peaches, tomatoes, and many varieties of melon and squash, all grown in this state we’re in. And we have dozens of unfamiliar, native pollinating insects to thank! The production of most fruits, seeds, and nuts requires insect pollinators, who transfer pollen from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma residing within another flower of the same species. Without this cross-fertilization, seeds and the delicious fruits that encase them usually won’t grow. About 85 percent of all plants on Earth require pollination by animals, mostly bees. Domestic (European) honeybees are most often associated with crop pollination, but they’re not native. In recent years, the honeybees used by farmers throughout the U.S. have suffered from colony collapse disorder and other problems. Because of the domestic honeybee decline, the role of native pollinators is all the more important. Scien-

tists estimate that wild pollinators provide as much as half of all crop pollination. A recent study headed by Rachael Winfree, an ecologist and professor at Rutgers University, shows that a great diversity of native pollinators is needed to provide this valuable “ecosystem service” of crop pollination. Published in the journal Science, the study says that in order to provide crop pollination on a large scale – that is, an entire agricultural region rather than a small study plot – there must be a large diversity of native bee species. The larger the geographic area, the more native bee species are needed for successful crop pollination. “Our results confirm the importance of biodiversity in keeping the planet habitable for human beings,” said Winfree. The study took place over several years on 48 farms in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Researchers identified more than 100 species of wild bees pollinating the flowers of crops like blueberries, watermelons and cranberries. In New Jersey, native

pollinators include bumblebees, carpenter bees, leafcutter bees, sweat bees and squash bees, as well as wasps. Many of our colorful butterflies are also pollinators, including monarchs, tiger swallowtails, painted ladies, fiery skippers, orange sulfurs, common buckeyes and black swallowtails. Dozens of moths – including underwings, owlet, geometer, sphinx and hummingbird moths – and hundreds of species of beetles are pollinators. Rubythroated hummingbirds also carry pollen between individuals of many species of native shrubs and wildflowers while gathering nectar, the only New Jersey bird to regularly do so. How can we make sure that there are enough wild pollinators for the Garden State’s crops? Winfree has some advice: “Farmers can plant fallow fields and road edges with flowering plants, preferably plants whose flowering periods are different, because wild pollinators need to be supported throughout the growing season,” she said. “They can reduce pesticide use

and avoid spraying during crop bloom, when more bees are in the crop field.” Among the plants that will attract and provide nourishment to native pollinators, according to Winfree, are yellow giant-hyssop (Agastache nepetoides), swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), spotted Joe Pye weed (Eupatorium maculatum), flattopped goldenrod (Euthamia graminifolia), great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), stiff goldenrod (Oligoneuron rigidum), narrowleaf mountain mint (Pycnanthemum tenuifolium), black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), green-headed coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata), white heath aster(Symphyotrichum pilosum), blue vervain (Verbena hastata), New York ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis), and Culver’s root (Veronicastrum virginicum). It’s critical to avoid the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides. Bee communities, both wild and domestic, have experienced severe declines as pesticide

use increased. Especially harmful are a group of pest control chemicals called neonicotinoids, or neonics for short. Neonic-coated seeds grow into plants whose parts, including the pollen and fruit, are highly toxic to pollinators. In April, member states of the European Union voted in favor of an almost complete ban on the use of neonicotinoid insecticides across the EU. The United States has yet to do so, although the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently assessing the impact of neonics on bees. Unfortunately, neoniccoated seeds are in widespread use on New Jersey farms. As a homeowner, before purchasing seeds and plants from your local nurseries, ask if they are treated with neonics. Many retailers may not know the answer to this question, but it’s a good opportunity to let them know it’s important to consumers. June 18-24 is National Pollinator Week, a great time to learn about the role of wild pollinators in our food system – and to plant native perennial plants,

University students tackle fossil fuel emissions A majority of Americans now acknowledge that global warming exists, that mankind is responsible, and that we need to do something about it, before it is too late. But for many, however, the question remains: what can we do? Fortunately, there are answers. A number of governmental organizations, from our local Sustainable Princeton to the Congressional Climate Solutions Caucus, are each organizing and proposing steps. Encouragingly also, Jonathan Lu, class of 2018 from our local university, together with 10 to 20 students, started the Princeton Students’ Climate Initiative in early 2017. These students saw the need to come together to propose environmental policies that would lead to a reduction of fossil fuel emissions — something that was stalled at our federal government.

Wisely, among their first steps was to consult with Professor Andrew Zwicker of Princeton’s Plasma Physics lab and the New Jersey General Assembly — a man who bridged the worlds of academia and policy. He recommended that they research a white paper detailing both New Jersey’s environmental situation and steps necessary to counter it — that is, to formulate public policies to reduce fossil fuel emissions. Their research took them, for example, to the Federal Governments’ Energy Information Administration, which compiles statistics on the sources of CO2 emissions. This led them to find, among other things, that 85 percent of New Jersey’s emissions are outside the electric power sector, even though the power sector is the primary target of several initiatives. (Both the town and the uni-

versity are also fortunate to have as a neighbor the research and journalism source on climate change, Climate Central.) The team continued to research throughout 2017, consulting with Zwicker multiple times. He provided feedback on the more particular details to be solved: legal issues, economic effects, policy interactions. After nine months of work, the group completed a 94page white paper in January 2018. It also began reaching out to stakeholders: environmental, labor, business, energy, environmental justice groups, to discuss this further. Thus the daunting, larger picture was broken up into manageable segments. As these requirement pieces of legislation became evident, members saw that sources of funding, from other students and/or the community, would also be necessary, to deal with

It also became evident that members would need to learn research methods, advocacy techniques, and how to simply talk with community members. New Jersey’s population of just under 9 million (2015) would require considerable outreach, expenses and effort. As necessity is often the mother of invention, Princeton’s Student Climate Initiative learned from the District of Columbia that by putting a price (or fee) on carbon usage, a source of revenue can become available for various purposes — either returning the revenue to tax payers or using it to finance carbon reduction.

Solutions Continued from Page 4A will convene diverse stakeholders from across New Jersey to discuss climate policies. For those central New Jersey residents who want to reach out to the students now, and/or over the summer, their email address is: PS.climate.initia-

tive@gmail.com. Citizens, and students, around the nation have seen how school shootings can mobilize people, young and old, to change policy. Looking nationally and globally, one can see that climate change is an even more destructive threat than

are guns. In response, PSCI is helping formulate policies that can make a difference. And they are tackling the complexities of legislation even as the challenges of their academic requirements keep them more than busy. To them, the effort is that important.

Obituaries

Lawrence Orson Houstoun, Jr., 89 Lawrence Orson Houstoun, Jr. died May 5 in Philadelphia after a long illness. He was 89, a New Jersey native and resident in Cranbury since 1982. After a career in the federal civil service spanning five presidents, and six federal departments, in 1982 he embarked in a second career consulting with local governments and private sector leaders envisioning new futures for urban centers of all sizes. He became a national leader in the formation of special improvement districts, and was a prolific writer, publishing numerous articles and, in 1997, Business Improvement Districts, the authoritative volume on the creation and operation of such districts. Among those he advised or helped create were Philadelphia’s Center City and University City Districts, Red Bank, Trenton, Long Branch, Millburn, Perth Amboy and South Orange in New Jersey, and dozens of others in five states and three countries. He was a founding member of Downtown NJ. His work and writing also included planning of urban public spaces. His work was greatly influenced by William (Holly) White, and his work on BIDs and redevelopment by James Rouse, with both of whom he had the pleasure of working. Mr. Houstoun was born in Montclair on March 13, 1929, and attended Blair Academy, Lafayette College and Catholic University where he received a master’s degree in planning. He served in the administration of Governor Robert Meyner, and moved to Washington to join the Kennedy Administration in the Department of Labor. He held executive positions in the Area Redevelopment Administration, Office of Economic Opportunity, and Departments of Commerce, Agriculture and Housing and Urban Development. In the last he headed the comprehensive planning program and was staff director for a blue-ribbon committee, Development Choices for the 80’s, which was the first public expression of what became the smart growth movement of the 1990’s. Mr. Houstoun returned temporarily to New Jersey in 1972 as a mid career fellow at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson school. He resettled permanently in Cranbury in 1982 when his wife Feather O’Connor accepted a position with Governor Tom Kean. He formed a consulting practice with Pat Henry as The Atlantic Group, based in Cranbury and Philadelphia. A lover of opera, cities, big band jazz, trains and the outdoors, Mr.Houstoun recalled his introduction to Verdi by two Mississippi recruits at basic training in Fort Benning, Georgia, and the excitement of his train tour through Europe after his discharge from the US Army in 1955. These passions continued through his life including numerous hiking trips in the Alps and sampling of opera in European capitals. His first stop when visiting New Orleans was Preservation Hall, and his friends recall him swinging out onto dance floors -or sidewalks - when the right beat struck. He could recount the path and history of every rail line criss-crossing New Jersey. He is survived by his wife of 42 years Feather, two daughters Alex and Kate, son in law John Lisko, and grandchildren Lauren and Jack.

MERCER COUNTY NOTES

IFresh produce checks -for qualifying older adults Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes announced gthat older adults in Mercer County again will have the op-portunity to receive fresh produce checks that will enable sthem to purchase locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables -at participating farm stands. n Representatives from the Mercer County Nutrition Ofsfice will offer the checks on Friday, June 15, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Cooperative Extension of Mercer County, 930 Spruce St., Lawrence. Eligible older adults will receive checks to redeem fresh produce at various vendor sites throughout the County. Each person will receive five $5 checks that total $25 and are valid until Nov. 30, 2018. Checks will be distributed on a first-come, firstserved basis. “The Farmers Market Check Program offers older adults an increased opportunity to include a nutritious choice to their eating habits,” Hughes said. “It also helps the older adult who may be struggling financially to get the most for their money.” The Farmers Market program was developed to provide low-income older adults with checks they can use to purchase fresh produce grown by New Jersey farmers. The Mercer County Nutrition Program is the lead agency and coordinator in Mercer County for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and has been for a number of years. Qualifications are as follows: a single person’s income must not exceed $22,311 per year or $1,860 monthly; a couple’s income must not exceed $30,044 per year or $2,504 monthly. Documentation is required for certification that includes: • Identity and residency proof • Driver’s license, utility/phone bill or birth certificate • Income proof • Current income tax return, Social Security statement, Food Stamps/SNAP verification or Medicaid card The Mercer County Nutrition Project reminds older adults of these guidelines: • You must be 60 years of age or older and live in Mercer County to receive checks. • You must provide proof of income. • You may not pick up checks for anyone other than yourself, unless you are serving as a proxy. (IMPORTANT: Call the Nutrition Office for these details; see number below.) • Checks are to be signed in front of the farmers. Do not send signed checks to the market with a friend. The farmer has the right to refuse to honor them. • Checks may be used only at certified farm stands &#8212; not grocery stores. Stands will display a yellow

poster indicating that they accept these checks. • Only one set of checks per person will be awarded each year. • Couples can each receive their own set of checks. For more information, contact the Mercer County Nutrition Program for the Elderly, Senior Farmers Market Program, at 609-989-6652.

Weekends will involve hands-on activities, comprehensive learning and fun outdoors. Summer Weekends at the nature center continue through Sunday, Aug. 26. There will be seven different programs to choose from, including activities such as fishing, gardening, guided nature walks, nature games and more; no registration required. Programs are appropriate for families, and children of all ages. The Tulpehaking Nature Center is located at 157 Westcott Ave. in Hamilton.

County announces photo project Mercer County invites you to submit your digital images to help the County create a collection of recent photographs that illustrate living, working and playing within its 12 municipalities. The county is looking for images that illustrate area heritage, economic vibrancy and cultural diversity and that include public buildings, historic sites, parks and events with or without people using those places. “This is a way for talented amateur photographers to help us spotlight the many great things that Mercer County and its vibrant communities have to offer,” said County Executive Brian M. Hughes. “If you enjoy taking photos, we invite you to show us Mercer County through your lens.” This is not a contest but an opportunity for amateur photographers who seek a broader audience for their work. The images could be used in editorial and commercial digital and print media promoting the County. The photographer’s credit line would appear in the media in which they appear, whenever possible. The county would have exclusive rights of the images and will not sell them.

Participants must complete an agreement before submitting images. Instructions and requirements can be found online at ciephoto.com/PhotogDirex.pdf.

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

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

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices? A. The Real Estate market in Princeton is thriving and staying consistent year-round. There is a lot of activity around the new construction projects which I am pleased to be representing. Also, there is a growing interest coming from local and international . What is your current focus is Real Estate? investors which is a great contribution to the stability of the market, A. Right now, I am focusing on the booming considering that investors are more likely to purchase during the New Construction in Princeton. It seems that quieter months in order to avoid bidding wars which are common almost every street I turn on, there is at least in Princeton. one new home being built. To some, it is a little discouraging, to see old homes being torn down to build a new, but I think that it is a necessary step in helping the town’s Real 343 Nassau Street Estate market flourish and overall growth. Princeton NJ 08540 There are so many buyers looking to buy a home in Princeton, and they are most certainly of Princeton interested in new construction projects.

North Brunswick actress hits new ‘Heights’

orth Brunswick resident Milena Makse will assume a lead role in Phoenix Productions’ upcoming revival of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “In The Heights.” Makse joins the cast as the admired “good girl” Nina Rosario, Benny’s love interest and the first in her family to go to college, according to information provided by Phoenix Productions. Everyone in the barrio admires her as the “one who made it out;” however, she returns home for the summer to reluctantly tell her parents that she has flunked out. “Nina is a very strong person who fights for what she wants, though she may not seem like it in the audience’s first interaction with her,” Makse said in the statement. “She’s also very stubborn, which I do love about her. It motivates her to keep fighting for what she wants, whether it be her college education or Benny, the man that she loves.” The show, sponsored by D’Agostino and Associates “The Injury Firm,” will take place at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank June 22-24. Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and at 3 p.m. Sunday. “In the Heights” tells a captivating story about what it means to chase your dreams, cling to your roots and celebrate the community from which you grew. “The show started off as a way to show the pride and beauty of Washington Heights [New York], but since then, it has turned into so much more than that,” Makse said in the statement. “This show is about the power of home and community. Washington Heights is a beautiful example of the safety and community having a home can

provide.” Although this is Makse’s first production with Phoenix, she is no stranger to the stage. She has had notable roles such as an ensemble performer in the North Brunswick Young Adult Drama Group’s production of “Urinetown” and as leading lady Veronica Sawyer in the Villagers Theatre production of “Heathers,” which she considers one of her proudest achievement to date, according to the statement. Recently, she rounded out her sophomore year of college at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, working toward a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama. Tickets for the show can be purchased in person at the box office, 99 Monmouth St., Red Bank; by phone at 732-842-9000; or online at www.countbasietheatre.org.

Princeton Festival to perform ‘Madama Butterfly’ A

tragic tale of love and loss, “Madama Butterfly” has emotionally awoken and evoked feelings of overwhelming despair for audiences alike over the past century. As one of the world’s best known operas, Madama Butterfly originated as late 19th century folklore, “Madame Butterfly,” written by American author John Luther Long. The Princeton Festival will showcase “Madama Butterfly” on June 16, 24 and July 1 at the McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton. The verismo opera - sung entirely in the Italian dialect - is introduced as a playful tale of endearment, and, as the story proceeds, the storyline advances to finalize toward a somewhat gothic conclusion. Princeton Festival Artistic Director Richard Tang Yuk, one of the masterminds behind the festival’s upcoming rendition of “Madama Butterfly,” said the storyline of the opera is what makes the performance exceptionally spectacular. Or, as Tang Yuk simply stated, entirely believable. Tang Yuk said “Madama Butterfly”’s premise of reality has won audiences over, more so than other popular tales of fiction or mythology. “Madama Butterfly” tells the story of a young Japanese Geisha, Cio-Cio-San, who marries an American naval officer, Lieutenant B.F. Pinkerton, while he is overseas visiting Japan. While Pinkerton has an esoteric desire, only unveiled to one close friend, to dedicate his life toward the search of experience and pleasure, Tang Yuk said, Cio-Cio-San (Butterfly) believes her marriage to Pinkerton is authentic and guaranteed to last a lifetime. Shortly after the two are wed, Tang Yuk continued, Pinkerton returns to the United States. After three years have passed, Butterfly has not yet heard from her American husband, a man of whom she had pre-conceived as her soulmate, and who she had an

One day, Tang Yuk continued, a naval ship arrives in a Japanese harbor - with Pinkerton and his new, American wife on board. As Butterfly is overcome with excitement upon her husband’s return, she quickly recognizes that Pinkerton is not the man she once thought he was. At her expense, Butterfly commits suicide to avoid public shame and further heartbreak. “She chose to die with honor rather than live in shame,” Tang Yuk said. A through-composed production of music by Giacomo Puccini makes the age-old opera all the more striking, Tang Yuk said. “It is so dramatic and so very profound-

ly sad,” Tang Yuk said. “Puccini was a master of orchestration. The textures and the color of the orchestra are so beautiful.” Yulia Lysenko, who plays Cio-Cio San in the upcoming production of Madama Butterfly, is a Ukrainian artist who brings sensitivity and wonder to an otherwise timeless role, Tang Yuk said. The role requires an extensive amount of stamina, Tang Yuk said, because Butterfly is singing for all but 20 minutes of the performance that lasts two hours and 40 minutes. As the soprano, Lysenko’s vocal capabilities remain unmatched, Tang Yuk said. Beautifully intertwining with Lt. Pinker-

ton’s (played by Matthew White) vocal range as a tenor, the duo adds to a truly “heart-rendering” performance. “Lysenko is extremely musical. There is such a range of color, dynamics, and expression that she brings to the role,” Tang Yuk said. Although “Un bel di” has been internationally recognized as the most beautiful aria in “Madama Butterfly,” Tang Yuk said, a personal favorite aria of the director’s is “Che tu Madre-” a dismal solo centered on the a complex expression of individualized sorrow. While “Madama Butterfly” is indefinitely known for its perennial storyline of passion and broken promises, the internationally recognized performance has been produced and re-mastered from its original version numerous times. As an opera that is so globally prominent, emphasizing originality is a key component of memorability. Tang Yuk said his cast brings a new perspective to a timeless performance. “This is a very collaborative process. As the rehearsals progress, we evolve into a rhythm that is uniquely ours,” Tang Yuk said. As artists, he said, the underlying goal is to replicate and conceptualize the story Giacomo Puccini incorporated within the lyrics of his thougthful compostion. “The music is about touching the soul of the listener,” Tang Yuk said. “It is about emotionally connecting with a complete stranger.” In order to fully connect with the performance, supertitles will be projected above the audience, so audience members who do not necessarily speak or understand Italian can become fully immersed in the storyline.

What’s in a name? “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet An honorary degree conferred by Princeton University upon The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) President R. Barbara Gitenstein at Princeton’s commencement on June 5 was an act acknowledging the Shakespearean wisdom that names are arbitrary labels. The College of New Jersey, founded in 1746, changed its name to Princeton University during the culmination of the institution’s Sesquicentennial Celebration in 1896. How can that be? President R. Barbara Gitenstein, who will be retiring from her TCNJ presidency on June 30, worked at the college in the 21st century not the 18th or 19th century. It’s just a name thing. Newer residents of the Princeton area may be unaware of the Princeton University/The College of New Jersey/Trenton State College namechanging brouhaha in 1996. Three years before Dr. Gitenstein arrived on the job, the board members of what then was known as Trenton State College voted unanimously to change the name of the Ewing-based higher education institution to The College of New Jersey. Princeton University denounced the state college for appropriating the Princeton University’s historic and original name. In July 1996, Princeton sued the newly named The College of New Jersey on

Barbara Gitenstein, Rev. Gregory Boyle, S.J. and Robert Geddes. the grounds that TCNJ intentionally had implied that it had a historical link with Princeton University. The dispute was settled when the two sides agreed ”to make clear the entirely separate histories of the two institutions.” Thanks to the leadership of President Gitenstein, the name is now associated with one of the finest public colleges in

the nation – and, as such is a superb reflection of its namesake – the internationally acclaimed private higher education institution Princeton University. I have heard President Eisgruber on another occasion give a heartfelt and eloquent speech articulating society’s crucial need for high-quality, publicly supported institutions of higher education. The histo-

ries of Princeton and TCNJ may be entirely separate, but the two institutions are still linked by mission - an intense commitment to excellence in higher education and the well being of its students hailing from all socio-economic backgrounds. My knowledge of the relationship between these two institutions is experiential, rather than academic. I was working as Princeton University’s community and state affairs director during the name change commotion. My current job at the New Jersey Association of State Colleges and Universities, of which TCNJ is a member, has given me the opportunity to observe up close the veracity of the Princeton University’s honorary degree proclamation, as follows: “R. Barbara Gitenstein has more than 40 years of experience as a professor and administrator in the public and private sectors of higher education. Since 1999, she has served as president of The College of New Jersey, the first woman to have that role in TCNJ’s 160-year history. She came to TCNJ from Drake University, where she was provost and executive vice president. During her tenure at TCNJ, Gitenstein has focused on enhancing academic rigor and faculty-student engagement, raising the four-year graduation rate, investing in campus amenities and facilities, and boosting alumni support. A scholar of Jewish and American literature, Gitenstein is the author of “Apocalyptic Messianism and Contemporary Jewish-American Poetry.” She serves on the Board of Directors for

Loose Ends Continued from Page 12B the American Council on Education and on the Executive Board of the New Jersey Presidents’ Council, and she previously chaired the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the body that accredits colleges and universities in the mid-Atlantic region, including Princeton. Gitenstein has supported the professional advancement of women throughout her career. Among her honors, she was recognized in 2009 by the Women’s Caucus of New Jersey as a Woman of Achievement. She received her B.A. from Duke University and her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina. This visionary leader is the first woman to serve as president of The College of New Jersey in the institution’s 160-year history. Determined to provide her students with the highest caliber academic experience, she has led transformative efforts to improve TCNJ’s four-year graduation rate, which now ranks among the highest in the nation for public colleges and universities. On a national level, she has been a steadfast advocate for academic rigor, high standards and expanded educational opportunity. Throughout her career, as a scholar of Jewish and American literature and as an insightful administrator, she has demonstrated the power of education to change lives and change the world. Dr. Gitenstein’s personal journey that transported her to a position where she could have a transformational role on the nation’s higher education stage began with her birth – at home (her mom never made it to the hospital)- in Florala, Alabama. A town of 2,000 residents, Florala had two Jewish families – one of whom was the Gitenstein family. “My mother and father were New Yorkers (Manhattan), who ended up in Alabama, because it offered a possibility of success for my father’s shirt manufacturing business.

My grandfather’s shirt manufacturing business went bankrupt during the Depression. My father at the age of 17 was incredibly courageous and determined to make it – and left New York for a new life….My father Seymour Gitenstein was an extraordinary business man and manager, I never took a business course. He was my business mentor - I learned my management skills from my father who had over 1,000 employees.” Learning from her father’s success was the positive aspect of living in Florala, Alabama. The negative was the fact that “living there for us was not very comfortable, we were different,” she said. “In addition to being Jewish, we were not Southern, we were totally Yankees.” But her dad continued to set an example of perseverance and a socially progressive ethos, because even with his being different he became a leader in the community. “He was the chair of the local board of education during the integration of the schools. There was no violence – he managed the conflict,” said Dr. Gitenstein. But the local schools were not accredited, so her parents sent her to a private, all-girls’ boarding school, HoltonArms, for her high school education. “I was always a serious academic. It was a hard, scary and often lonely experi-

ence, but it did provide good opportunity to see women in leadership roles,” said Dr. Gitenstein, who also looked to her maternal grandmother, Pauline Keller Green, as an example of someone who with dignity and grit navigated some very hard times. While in high school, Dr Gitenstein was sure she would pursue a career in music as a vocalist – a dramatic soprano. When she failed to get accepted to a music conservatory, she had the rude awakening that she had a “good voice, but not great.” She attended Duke University, fell in love with English, while still enjoying music both as a performer and an audience member. “My experience as a performer proved useful to me when I became a college president,” said Dr. Gitenstein. I actually think President Gitenstein’s success as a transformational leader also is due to her name. Look at those initials – RBG – the same initials made famous, or rather “notorious,” by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Mena Suvari is an “American Woman” in Paramount Network’s new ’70s dramedy By Ryan A. Berenz

t’s been nearly 20 years since Mena Suvari’s breakout roles in American Pie and American Beauty, and the actress is getting Americanized again in Paramount Network’s ’70s dramedy American Woman (Thursdays beginning June 7). Suvari plays Kathleen Callahan, a Texas gal who’s living large in Los Angeles on Daddy’s dime but still has time to be a supportive pal to Bonnie (Alicia Silverstone) and Diana (Jennifer Bartels). On Kathleen’s Farrah Fawcett hair: “I wish I had hair like that naturally, but I don’t. It’s just sort of adding these pieces, and then you do a lot of teasing and a lot of hairspray, then backcomb it and brush it together, and then you’ve got this amazing Farrah hair.” On the groovy outfits: “One of them that was my favorite — which Bonnie, Alicia’s character, wears — was this one sort of like a shift dress. Attached to the dress was a photo of Twiggy wearing it. It was the exact same dress that Twiggy wore from that period. I thought that was the coolest thing ever, and what an honor to be carrying this over.” On Kathleen’s quest: “She truly is looking for love. In the beginning, appearances matter to her. All of her sisters are married, and she feels the pressure to get that done and make Daddy happy. That’s part of her journey. That sort of unravels for her and she questions all of it, and then she decides who she wants to be. She finds herself along the way.”

On yet another “American” project: “I honestly give up at this point. There’s some weird energy around it, and I’m just riding it. I think I should get some kind of plaque for ‘Most Patriotic Actor.’ Even with this experience — and I’ve had this on other projects, too — where they were originally named something else and then they changed it to ‘American,’ and I’m like, ‘WHAT? Oh, my God.’ ”

On all that smoking: “It’s 1975, and I think to act like that wasn’t the case back then would be a disservice. It’s an accurate portrayal. I feel really lucky that we had a mama bear like Alicia onset who basically researched every single company that would be the healthiest for us to smoke. They’re all herbal cigarettes. Our prop department was fantastic and really supportive, and worked with us in presenting all these different brands that were herbal.”
