Kathryn Foster succeeds Barbara Gitenstein as president of Ewing’s state college

By scott moRGan

By Diccon Hyatt Kathryn Foster has established a quirky pattern in her career: taking over from a longtenured woman president of a college or university. Three months ago, she became the second woman president of The College of New Jersey, succeeding Barbara Gitenstein, who retired after a 19-year tenure. Before that, Foster was president of the University of Maine at Farmington, once again succeeding a woman president who had been on the job for 19 years. “I definitely think the new president coming in after a long tenure like that should continue their momentum,” she says. “You don’t come in to fix things that aren’t broken.” But at the same time, she says, a new leader brings a new perspective and a chance to evaluate everything afresh, she says, like having a guest come over to your house and see everything with the eyes of an outsider. “After 18 or 19 years, people get into habits,” she says. “Institutions have a sense of inertia.” See FOSTER, Page 10

Father knows best

Parent of four releases book on dealing with life as a single dad By scott moRGan

Greg Wheeler lost his job. Which, to be fair, he kind of asked for. “I took a Landmark course,” Wheeler said. “I said, ‘I want to wake up excited about going to

work in the morning.’” Three weeks later the universe obliged him. He was downsized from his longtime job in corporate America, doing R&D on things like infrared cameras. By the time he’d confessed to wanting to enjoy his work at a professional development course, Wheeler had been divorced for almost 20 years and happy for about 20 seconds. But with his wish answered, he began studying Kundalini yoga

and found a part of himself he didn’t know he had. Getting to the point at which he asked for something to look forward to, though—that only came after he realized he needed to face an awful lot of issues about himself, including who he’d been as a partner and as a father. His healing journey has led him to a new career as a personal coach specializing in single fathers. It’s also culminated in a book, Single See WHEELER Page 8

The first thing you need to know about Rachel Kochis is that she’s an extremely quiet person with a lot to say. Softspoken and shy, she almost gives off the impression that she would rather hide under a blanket until the monsters subside. Almost. She’s had her share of monsters to contend with, some physical and some mental. This month she turns 18, and she’s already gotten into the ring with chronic migraines, amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome (which causes her to feel pain more sharply than most others), gastroparesis (which slows or halts the muscles that push food through the digestive system), depression, anxiety and panic disorder. But here’s the second thing you need to know about Kochis: She’s a math nerd, which means she likes solving puzzles. Or, problems, if you will. And for her, problems are best overcome by hitting them head on. Because the third thing you need to know about Kochis is that she’s an artist whose creative language somehow blends the intangible with the factual into a kind of stew that reveals its flavors one at a time, slowly. And if art springs from pain See KOCHIS, Page 6

Ewing Observer named Kiwanis Business of the Year

The Ewing Observer has been named the 2018 Business of the Year by the Ewing Kiwanis Club of Ewing. Each year, the club selects an area business that shows or has shown exemplary service to the citizens of Ewing Township. “This program was started by the Kiwanis Club years ago to publicly honor and recognize these companies for that devotion and support shown to the Ewing community,” said a statement released by the club. The award was given to Observer editor Bill Sanservino and Co-Publisher Tom Valeri during a dinner at the Revere restaurant on Aug. 16, 2018. The Ewing Observer is part of the Community News Service family of newspapers that has won more than 100 national awards over the years. “It was an honor for me to represent Community News Service and the Observer for the business of the year award, because Ewing has been such a great community to cover,” said Sanservino following the ceremony. “The people of Ewing make it a great town to cover, and we as a company aspire to help make this community as great as everyone we’ve written about has helped this town become.”

Ewing schools chief awarded new contract The Ewing Township Board of Education and superintendent Michael Nitti have agreed to a new 5-year contract. The new contract began July 1, 2018 and runs through June 30, 2023. The contract is in accordance with New Jersey’s Superintendent Salary Cap, which has set the parameters for the superin-

“The board was pleased to reach an agreement with Superintendent Nitti,” board vice president Anthony Messina said. “We look forward to partnering with him and his team to continue to move the district forward, and working together to support a facility referendum that will provide progressive, modern schools for our students.”

The contract was approved by the board during the June meeting in a 6-0 vote, with board members Karen McKeon, Channing Conway and Maria Benedetti abstaining due to employment conflicts within the district. Nitti has been superintendent of the Ewing Schools since 2009.

“I am appreciative of the support of the Board and honored to serve the Ewing school community,” Nitti said. “I have had a wonderful 30-year career in education and my work in Ewing has been a rewarding highlight. It is important to me that our schools are set up successfully for the next generation of students, and October’s referendum is a big part of that process and plan.”

Ewing police are asking for the public’s assistance to help identity two suspects who allegedly shoplifted from a Walgreens on Olden Avenue. Two individuals, a male and a female, arrived at the Walgreens on Olden Avenue during the early evening hours on July 31, according to a police statement. They were driving a late model dark purple colored Kia Optima with a temporary Pennsylvania license plate. Police said the two suspects entered the business and began to conceal numerous personal hygiene products as well as boxes of baby diapers and Tide liquid laundry detergent. The items were placed in a store-owned plastic hand basket and a large blue bag the female suspect has with her. After approximately three to four minutes in the store, both abruptly exited the store avoiding all points of sale and re-entered the Kia optima before fleeing westbound on Olden Avenue. Anyone able to assist with identifying or have had similar instances within their jurisdiction are asked to contact Det. David Morris (609) 882-1313, ext. 5561 or dmorris@ewingnj.org.

Credit Union of New Jersey named best in state The Ewing-based Credit Union of New Jersey has been named Best-InState of New Jersey by Forbes, a global media company focusing on business, investing, technology, entrepreneurship, leadership and lifestyle. Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to produce a firstever look at the Best-In-State Banks and Credit Unions. Forbes staff writer Kurt Badenhausen explained that instead of gauging the balance sheets and P&L statements as Forbes does for its ranking of the 100 largest banks published annually in Januar y, Statista sur veyed more than 25,000 customers in the U.S. for their opinions on their current relationships. He said that the banks and credit unions were rated on overall recommendations and satisfaction, as well as five sub-dimensions (trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services and financial advice). In total, 124 banks and 145 credit unions made the final cut or 2.4 percent of U.S. financial institutions. Established in 1943, the $348 million Credit Union of New Jersey provides financial services to more than 39,000 members through five full-service offices located in Mercer and Burlington counties and an e-branch at cunj.org.

KOCHIS continued from Page 1 It also comes from what is actually the for most artists, it might be the only fifth thing to know about Kochis—she’s thing about Kochis that fits neatly into an empath. To say Kochis feels the emothe expected pattern. In seventh grade tions of others is as much of an undershe landed in the hospital with a bout of statement as saying you feel the oven door on your careless arm when checkgastroparesis. “I was not in a good mental state at ing the cupcakes. Beyond the math, beyond the chalall,” she said. The other thing she said was “bring lenge of the puzzle, Kochis’ art all me a sketch pad.” It began as something revolves around emotion. Sometimes to take her mind off what she was going it’s her own, sometimes it becomes her through and immediately became a puz- own based on what she feels about what zle; a balance of the mathematical and a friend might be going through. “I put my heart into my pieces,” she the creative. “What drew me was the challenge,” said, adding that she’s usually anxious she said. Because remember: math about something, and that that somenerd. As in, top 10 student in her gradu- thing often has to do with whatever life ating class from Ewing High School this struggles a friend might be enduring. “I live with the anxiety until it sorts year, as featured in the June 2018 issue of the Ewing Observer. “Math helps me itself out,” she said. Usually it sorts itself out with a little figure out the perspective.” One of Kochis’ favorite artists is help from her headphones. Which is the Derek Hess, whose work elevates what sixth thing to know about Kochis: she appear to be sketches made in a figure loves music. “Loud music actually calms me durdrawing class to dark and surrealising a panic attack,” she tic plateaus.

The combination of sketch and color has it were. Something based on emotion and the subtlety of a gunshot on first sight. But as you follow the shrinking flecks of expression.

None of us really want to be she said. “You can’t figure out anything forgotten, after all. Not by the people in a panic.” The seventh thing to know about who matter to us most. “I have found that I do like making Kochis is that as an artist, there’s not statement pieces,” Kochis says. She much she doesn’t do. Diadone taught wants to get in your head, even if, like her in drawing, ceramics, and sculpture her creative touchstone, Derek Hess, and said Kochis is quite adept at combinshe “doesn’t completely let you inside” ing various media. Kochis defines this aspect of herself a of her own. The fourth thing you need to know little more loosely. “I’m kind of all over the place,” she about Kochis is that she is endlessly said. compassionate. Perhaps ironically, music is one of the “She’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever met,” said Lisa Diadone, who areas of creative expression she doesn’t was Kochis’ art teacher at Ewing High make herself. But she has plenty to School. “Anybody who’s ever had one choose from across the visual art specconversation with her would tell you trum. At the moment she has a special fondness for photography, especially, that.” Diadone saw Kochis’ kindness in the the quiet, thoughtful kind—photos in hugs she would give to her classmates and of nature, for instance. But she’s not in a hurry to choose who were going through something; in the dog toys she would give to someone a favorite medium. She did, however, with a new puppy; in the shoulder she have to make up her mind to a certain would lend to anyone who seemed to degree to get into college. Which is the eighth thing to know about Kochis: She need one person to listen. “My compassion is probably the has every intention of being a working trait I’m most proud of,” Kochis said. It artist.

Kochis is a Jehovah’s Witness and ing her major in digital art. After she has her associate’s degree she plans to considers herself quite religious.

Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton: Among the best in the US, again. “Being Forgotten” (left) and “Battle With the Shadow Side” are two works by Ewing artist Rachel Kochis. The 2018 Ewing High School graduate’s artwork was on display at the township municipal building in July and August. get a certificate in web design, because that’s something creative that could pay the bills. The advice came partly from a friend who told her that a fine arts degree “is not going to help” when it comes to getting a job, she said. So the boundlessly compassionate, broadly creative, and endlessly pragmatic Kochis decided to go for something that will be far more in need than the ability to draw realistic dragons. Which she doesn’t at all do, by the way. She’s grateful for her friend’s advice, and that brings in the ninth thing to know about Kochis: People have her back. While it might be tempting to think of Kochis as a brooding loner whom people use as a sounding board for their own problems, that’s not the case. She’s quick to say her friends and family are there for her in return, even if they don’t think to make art based on her troubles, which can be plenty. “There’s a sadness to her,” Diadone said, but not a trace of cynicism. This quality leads people like Diadone to believe Kochis will light the world up. Quietly; as a forceful introvert with a

voice worth hearing. “For me, her creations are her way of letting go of the pain and anxiety and they are allowing her to thrive in her art,” said Melissa Bennett, founder of Art Has No Boundaries, a Ewing-based art company that co-sponsored Kochis’ exhibition at Ewing Town Hall last month. “I never realized someone like Rachel would come in and touch our hearts and open, not only our eyes, but also the public’s eyes on how the arts have made such a positive impact in many lives.” And let’s let that be the 10th thing to know about Kochis: Everything she has, everything she’s been through comes to something positive. What started as a distraction during a hospital trip in seventh grade shifted to become an outlet for her emotions. Now it’s become a way to communicate with a world that has sometimes overwhelmed her—because under it all, Kochis’ art is about connecting us, whether we need to hold hands or grab a line in the deep water. Her ambitions are as simple as they are profound. “I just want to make people smile,” she said.

Ewing resident Greg Wheeler, center, with children Karl (left), Kurt, Vivian and Boone. WHEELER continued from Page 1 Dad Essentials: The 12 Most Important Things Single Dads Need to Know, published through Abby Press in August. “I couldn’t not do this because the universe was making it so easy for me,” Wheeler said. It’s an interesting thing for him to say when you consider just how much of a pain the universe was being to him for quite a while. So let’s back up to the end of the 1990s. Wheeler was married, with four children, and so in love with being “The Man” in his work as an engineer and strategic project manager that he didn’t pay as much attention to the family as he should have. He was all about being awesome at his job, taking the tough assignments, working with brilliant Ph.D.s, and getting projects to completion. That stuff, he said, gave him a sense of accomplishment and validation he never got growing up in New York. His father, “a fully functional alcoholic,” ran an escalator and air conditioning business there where he oversaw 300 people. When he got home he’d unwind with a drink. Or three. “By 9 p.m. he got into verbal abuse,” Wheeler said. All the while, little Greg, naturally empathic and the youngest of three in a working class family, was taught two messages: one that men gut it out and cope, and two that it was better to stay clear of his angry father. As a long-lingering consequence, Wheeler overachieved in everything he could. He found his validation in being able to work with tough bosses, getting patents (he has six), gutting out the hard jobs, etc. “I lived my life proving myself,” he said. “When we have a wound we overcompensate.”

He earned his bachelor’s in electrical and computer engineering at Clarkson in 1977. He received a teaching scholarship for a masters of engineering (which, of course, is harder to get than an MS) in the same field in 1980. He then entered the tech industry, eventually bought a house with his wife in West Windsor, and set about indulging his need to prove how awesome he was. By 1997 his wife grew tired of that. She told him she wanted a divorce and the news actually surprised him. He felt left. Hurt. In April of that year he was divorced and by September his new ex was remarried, to someone who didn’t work 60 hours a week. Wheeler kept the house in West Windsor so his kids could retain some normalcy. But as was his nature, Wheeler spent much of his time overcompensating for his hurt. He dated a few women, all of them pretty; all of them in need of rescuing. “They were perfect for me because I could show up as the hero,” Wheeler said. And, unsurprisingly, they all disappeared once they felt better about themselves. After the collapse of his third straight relationship with a formerly distressed damsel, Wheeler started looking at his life. He recognized the self-destructive pattern and figured he’d better start doing something about it. In December of 2015, Wheeler moved to Ewing, and a month later took his first Landmark course. A month after that, the universe listened to his request for something more meaningful. A month after that he found yoga and became a certified Kundalini instructor within a year. Since then he’s become certified as a coach in Conscious Uncoupling (based on the fivestep program by Katherine Woodward

‘If you look at building your life as a single father like building a small business, in other words, you will have a better shot at making it work.’

Greg Wheeler of Ewing has just released the book “Single Dad Essentials.” Thomas to gracefully end a romantic relationship) and Integrated Energy Therapy. By January he expects to be certified as a coach in “Calling In The One,” which is Katherine Woodward Thomas’ program to attract the true right person for you. As much as he didn’t enjoy things like divorce, being fired, a string of failed relationships and the realization that he was living his life to impress everyone else with his awesomeness, Wheeler realized that he “had gifts to share” with the world. As he sees it these days, his pain yielded an abundance of opportunities to understand how to heal life’s traumas and dramas. To heal, he said, you need to be receptive to some harsh truths and be willing to build from them. For Wheeler, those harsh truths included understanding that he was, in a less verbally abusive way, doing to his own kids what his father did to him, which was work too hard to really be there for them; get so wrapped up in himself that he didn’t see the family he took for granted. “Single Dad Essentials” was built on a lot of realizations about himself, Wheeler said. And it grew from a thesis he had to write in order to become certified in Kundalini. As part of his own healing he looked into the problems single fathers have to deal with and realized how universal most of the issues are. Wheeler offered a few tips from his book: Socialize like women do. “One thing women do very well is socialize,” Wheeler said. “They ask for others’ opinions a lot.” If that sounds like the old chestnut about guys refusing to ask for directions, you’re on the right track. Men, Wheeler said, so often get stuck in their own heads with that same lesson he learned as a kid—boys are tough, they gut it out and don’t need help. Consequently, they wallow, and their relationships with their kids suffer, because they don’t ask for help from friends— which they often don’t make. Build yourself a network. Step one of getting out of your own head is to actually meet other parents, he said. Volunteer at you kids’ school. Meet their friends’ parents. Socialize. If you look at building your life as a single father like building a small business, in other words, you will have a

better shot at making it work. Businessbuilding takes networking and small relationships, some of which will flourish, others that will do not much. But, Wheeler said, you need a social network around you. Incidentally, this does relate to something single dads often complain about —that single men around kids are somehow less socially acceptable than women around kids. But that stigma is in part due to the fact that a single father often just shows up at something and no one knows who he is, Wheeler said. In other words, he’s a stranger in the world of his kids’ friends—and, more importantly, their parents. The point is, don’t be a stranger, unless you want to seem creepy. Get past your manly man insecurities. Wheeler is encouraged by younger men when it comes to the old-fashioned tough guy thing. Younger guys, he said, don’t seem to have that same bravado about having to “muscle through it” that Boomers and even Gen-Xers have, he said. But there’s a catch with that. “There are no instructions in what this new role looks like,” Wheeler said. “There are no role models.” Men, in other words, are trying to figure out this brave new world while they’re building it. Gone are the days when men were the cheese and women were just somewhere around, doing whatever. Equality and coexistence are the watchwords of the day, it’s just a matter of understanding them, he said. And here’s the kicker: “The answers to those questions have been around for 5,000 years,” Wheeler said. “But society has moved away from them towards ‘the guy with the most toys wins.’” So how do we get back to where we were 5,000 years ago? “Listen,” Wheeler said. To yourself, to your heart, and to the harsh truths that help you understand better why you might be so unhappy. “You’re only going to be integrating these insights if you listen.”

ers. (Gitenstein took charge of TCNJ in 1999, the same year GM closed its manufacturing plant on Parkway Avenue for good.) Many universities in the region have cultivated closer ties with the business world. Princeton and Rutgers have both started several “incubator” programs to help students and faculty launch businesses based on their university lab discoveries. Foster said she would have to talk to students to see if they would be interested in a business incubator program. One issue that Foster may be called upon to deal with is that of how to deal with controversial speech on campus. Several universities have been embroiled in disputes over issues of free speech and hate speech. Foster says she is committed to creating an environment of open but civil discourse. “There’s no college president who isn’t paying attention to the kinds of issues going on around free speech,” she says. “Many of us believe deeply in the power of our colleges to enable free speech to bring different perspectives to issues. We have to figure out how to have civil discourse around a number of issues.” Foster says she has been talking to student government leaders as well as faculty and staff to figure out how to accomplish this. Foster says her proudest accomplishment in her previous job were the improvements made to the UMF campus during her six-year tenure. “When I arrived it was a campus that was a bit

down at the heels. It needed refurbishment and I worked hard on the grounds and on the buildings and interior spaces of campus,” she says. “When an environment looks like a place of excellence, and when people can take pride in their surroundings, everything is lifted up by that.” The campus also constructed an environmentally friendly biomass heat plant, which, taken together with existing geothermal heating systems, meant that the campus was able to take 90 percent of its energy from non-fossil-fuel sources. Foster believes the biggest challenge of the coming years will be a demographic one. “ The number of 15 to 25 year olds is on a steady decline,” Foster says. “That will drop off a cliff by 2026.” Foster says TCNJ must make itself distinctive in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Foster says she also plans to strengthen ties with high school guidance counselors in New Jersey and surrounding states. But she doesn’t blame New Jersey students who want to leave their home state to experience something different. After all, that’s what Foster did. “I can speak from experience on that,” she says. “I went to public high school in New Jersey and I wanted to get away from home. I wanted to try something new and test myself to see how resourceful I could be on my own.” For Foster, the result of that test is pretty clear. And now, after 25 years, she’s coming back. This story originally appeared in the Aug. 22 issue of U.S. 1 newspaper.

Fans of Trenton-style tomato pies will always argue about which one is best. Some say it’s DeLorenzo’s Tomato Pies in Robbinsville, while others favor Papa’s, also in Robbinsville or Palermo’s in Bordentown. (DeLorenzo’s Pizza in Hamilton has plenty of supporters, but most would say they make pizza, not tomato pie, where the mozzarella cheese is on the bottom and the chunky crushed tomatoes are on top.) USA Today recently decided to weigh in on the matter through its affiliate website, 10Best (10best. com). And while they did include those three local favorites on their list of the top 10 tomato pies in New Jersey, none of them managed to earn the top spot. The 10Best edi-

tors bestowed that honor upon Classico Tomato Pies, a one-yearold pizzeria in West Windsor. The website’s editors identified two main varieties of tomato pie: Trenton style, and Philadelphia bakery style, in which a focaccialike crust is topped with chunky tomato and little or no cheese. They came up with a single top-10 list including both styles. Restaurants on the list beyond the local pizzerias include Krispy Pizza of Old Bridge, Maruca’s Tomato Pies in Seaside Heights, Cacia’s Bakery in four South Jersey locations, Holy Tomato Pies in Blackwood, DeLucia’s in Raritan and Razza in Jersey City. Classico opened last August behind the CVS at the intersection of Southfield Road and Princeton Hightstown Road. The now awardwinning restaurant is a dream come true for owners Linda and James Pittari and Steve Cabrera. DeLorenzo’s and Papa’s, of course, have their roots in Trenton, having moved out to the suburbs in recent years. Classico has city roots as well, through pizzaiolo

Cabrera, who grew up in South Trenton. The Notre Dame High School grad learned how to make pies at two local pizzerias: Vincent’s in Hamilton, and another which he asks me not to name, but which is regionally known and has also left Trenton for the suburbs in recent years. It was in the time he was making pizzas at the latter restaurant, both in Trenton and Hamilton, that he got to know Linda and her son, James, who were frequent customers. Whenever they visited, they would request to have their pie made by Cabrera. “You could tell the difference if someone else made the pie,” Linda says. “The crust, the taste — his pies stand out.” The Pittaris and Cabrera became friendly, and would talk about someday opening a restaurant together as partners. Linda’s grandfather, Antonio Cirella, had owned a restaurant called Arcadia on 13th Street and First Avenue in Manhattan, but neither she nor James had any experience running

a restaurant. She had been an executive with Merrill Lynch and he was a parish administrator at All Saints Church in Brooklyn. Cabrera left the pizzeria in December 2016, after which the trio took the plunge and started looking for a place to call home. They settled on the location where Il Forno Cafe and Trattoria had recently closed. They designed Classico to be simple, open and airy, with red brick walls and rows of wooden tables. Cabrera has worked at a number of other restaurants as well, including Oliver A Bistro in Bordentown, and says he tried to take the best from every place he’s worked and make it work at Classico. He says he liked working with the pizza ovens at Vincent’s a little more than that other place, because they were larger. He had brand new ones similar to those installed at Classico and started working on recipes for his dough and his sauce. “I wanted to get it just right because whatever we came up with was what we were going to use forever,” he says. “People want consistency, they don’t want pizza that changes all the time.” People tell him his pies remind them of the ones he used to make at the other place, but he says both the dough and the sauce recipes are his originals. Because the crust is so thin, he says, it’s essential that the dough of each pie is uniform. The goal is to get it so the pie is cooked evenly from center to edge, so there’s no bend in the slices. It is a different art from making other kinds of pizza;

James Pittari, Steve Cabrera and Linda Pittari stand inside their West Windsor eater y, Classico Tomato Pies. (Staff photo by Joe Emanski.) Cabrera has worked with staff who have had to relearn the craft despite years of experience as pizzamakers. Linda says Cabrera’s standards are high. “If it doesn’t come out perfect, he will throw it away and start over,” she says. Classico has had basically the same pies on its menu from the beginning. With a significant vegetarian population in the area, they have added a number

of vegetable toppings to the menu since opening. Plain tomato pies are popular, but Linda says the margherita pie, topped simply with fresh basil, fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce, is their best seller. A large plain tomato pie is $16; a Sicilian pie is $18, and specialty pies like the margherita or the meat lovers are $23 for a large. Unlike that well known restaurant that Cabrera left behind, Classico also

serves a variety of classic Italian dishes, like pasta with vodka sauce ($11.99) and eggplant parmigiana with pasta ($12.99), that use Linda’s grandfather’s recipes. They also serve the kinds of sandwiches and salads one would expect to find in an Italian restaurant in the area. On weekends, they have a chef come in who adds seasonal specials to the menu. For dessert, options include Junior’s cheesecake and ice cream from Arctic and Thomas Sweet. Business was decent at the start, the owners say, picking up once they started delivery service this year, and then again in April after a positive review appeared in the Trenton Times. They’ve also had some success with catering, occasionally closing the restaurant to host a special event for a customer. Linda says that the community has been very supportive of Classico, with many customers having become friends over the past year. As if to illustrate her point, a customer comes into the restaurant during our interview with a tray of cookies and hugs for all three partners. “This was always Steve’s dream,” Linda says. “And James and I, we just always wanted to do a business of our own. We never had a question about it working because we knew the product was so good.” Classico Tomato Pies, 358 Princeton Hightstown Road, West Windsor. Phone: (609) 750-1234.

By Justin Feil Charlie DeBlasio made a significant jump last year in his first year on the Ewing High School boys’ soccer team. The EHS sophomore is ready to use that full season of experience and be a bigger part of helping the Blue Devils compete in the Colonial Valley Conference. “I definitely expect to be better this year, more effective,” said DeBlasio, who plays midfield. “I was smaller and weaker last year. A year’s difference in high school, it shows. I’m a lot stronger. I’m stronger and I’ve learned a lot of the game that I might not have known about.” DeBlasio is part of a mix of ages of players that will be making up for the lost leadership graduated from last year’s Ewing team that went 3-12-2. “We only lost seven, but we did lose some key players that are going to be really hard to replace,” said Ewing thirdyear head coach Dave Waseleski. “Any time you’re losing Alex Jesseman, a really good midfielder, and Matt Robbins, a key defender, and Kam Clarke, our goalie, it’s tough. We’re looking for somebody to step up.” Ewing has a pool of players to select from that includes: Thomas Bayley, Evan Birchenough, Cadel Bolden, William Bolmer, Anthony Cruz, Tommy Davaadolgor, DeBlasio, Daniel DeLeon, Braydon Dwyer, Javier Evans, David Fallah, Jordan Forsythe, Drew Green,

Andrew Hein, Michael Ilesanmi, Evan Jurczynski, Chris Krah, Kyle Marks, Alexander Medwick, Jahmario Morris, Dylan Navaro, Alan Ordonez, Daniel Ordonez, Sancio Ramos, Michael Riehl, Steven Rodriguez, Cameron Ruch, Jordy Santiago-Caraballo, Scott Silgay, Louis Stout, Jake Thogode, Thomas Vellenga, Justin Wood and Aaron Zaggi. Waseleski is looking for leadership from all ages and positions. DeBlasio is a possible leader in the midfield with the loss of Jesseman. “We definitely have leaders in the sophomore class,” DeBlasio said. “It’s a really close group with my class. The senior class is pretty big. I think the leadership will only continue to get stronger as the season progresses. We’re looking for someone to fill that role right now. “I feel like anyone can do that if they try. Even if it’s not in the biggest way, even little things, it’s something anyone can do. I’m hopeful we’ll have a lot of people stepping up to fill roles, but it’s something I take upon myself to do.” He’s not alone in the midfield. The Blue Devils return another strong player there in Wood, a junior, who started in the back on defense last year before moving up into the midfield due to injuries. “I would say comparing to others, we’re probably more young,” Wood said. “I don’t think it’ll be too much of a burden. Everyone is working hard and has been working hard over the summer. As long as we can do that on the field, we’ll be fine.”

The Blue Devils need their most experienced and talented players to take the lead and set the example for how to play. They have seen how to set the tone from past leaders. “We’re very, very lucky we have some young guys in the midfield, but they were able to learn a lot from the previous seniors,” Waseleski said. “I’m hoping they’ll fill that role seamlessly. We’ll need them to step up significantly.” Having two years of experience is a big plus for Wood. He knows what the less experienced players are going through as they adjust. “Definitely with the younger kids, coming to play at the varsity level is a big step,” Wood said. “You’re playing at the older level, you have to learn how to move the ball and try and make opportunities.” Wood and DeBlasio are players that Ewing is hoping can create scoring opportunities for the Blue Devils. Ewing struggled to score goals last year. In the summer, Ewing spent one day per week just on shooting and finishing scoring chances. “A lot of the guys have been working outside of team practices,” DeBlasio said. “I can see the improvement. Some shots that were off target last year are on target. We’re finishing a lot better than last year. Hopefully the same thing will happen in the regular season.” Ewing saw last year what happened without scoring. The Blue Devils were continually on their heels. They are focusing on reducing opponents’ possessions and chances. “I would say from being a defender, keeping the ball is a key,” Wood said.

Lucas.) “When I was defending, we were under constant pressure. We’d have to work off the counter attack. I’m hoping we can possess the ball and build off the back.” The returning players and newcomers are working at communicating better to stay a step ahead of their opponents. They are finding in what positions they can help the team best. “We definitely have a solid core group of kids,” DeBlasio said. “A lot of these

people have soccer experience outside of just school soccer and that helps. We’re all good friends so the chemistry is there. From day one of summer practices, I was excited about it.” DeBlasio plays club soccer for Next Level Soccer Academy. Wood plays for Princeton Soccer Association. “Keeping my touch up is a big part of coming into the school season,” Wood said. “You have to be ready.”

Playing year-round at a challenging level has them prepared for another year of varsity. They are ready to take another step as bigger parts of the team on and off the field. “I’ll be trying to make an impact on the game and getting our guys to play with a certain tempo,” DeBlasio said. “Last year play was chaotic at times. I’m looking to slow it down and make it easier on them and myself. “What I’m looking for this year is guys that had success as underclassmen stepping up to be leaders and challenge the upperclassmen and still be hungry for a varsity position,” Waseleski said. He can see another challenging schedule of CVC teams. Ewing is motivated to surprise them. Ewing opens the season Sept. 6 by hosting Hamilton West, and has some events in the works that will highlight the year. The Blue Devils are in the midst of organizing a Special Olympics event, and they are trying to work out a Trenton Cup challenge at The College of New Jersey against Trenton High. Ewing also will hold the second annual Alumni Day for its former players. They’re hoping to raise some excitement for the program and some wins. “My whole outlook on the season is can we be competitive?” Waseleski said. “That’s truly what I want to see: Be competitive, don’t give up, be in every game. Last year was challenging because we didn’t score. Hopefully this year we’re on the other end and a couple of those go in and we’re playing up instead of playing for a draw.”

professional development focused on delivering instruction through a blended learning, technology-focused model. Furthermore, as a proponent of individualized instruction, she developed interdisciplinary learning opportunities for students and promoted differentiated instructional practices in the classroom to meet student needs. Beyond her work with staff, Ms. Graja was an instructor for The College of New Jersey several summers in the Summer Symposium for Academically Talented Middle School Students. “We are excited to have Ms. Graja join our district,” stated Assistant Superintendent Dr. Ishibashi. “Ms. Graja’s commitment to meeting the learning needs of students through differentiated instructional practices and supporting staff professional learning is impressive. She will be a positive addition to the district’s Educational Leadership Team and our school community.”

EHS Students Attend TCNJ Urban Teacher Academy Ewing High School students Michelle Craven, Tyler Boncoeur and Tori Bradnock attended The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) Urban Teacher Academy this summer. The academy is designed for high school juniors who are thinking about becoming teachers in an urban setting. The young ladies had to complete several items for the application process and meet certain criteria to be accepted into the program. The program is free and provided an opportunity for students to experience campus life and learn about the education profession, possibly influencing their future career paths but most importantly they had a chance to make a difference in the life of the child.

Samantha Noble Excels at 9th Annual Lore Laps for Life Samantha Noble, a rising 6th grader at Fisher Middle School, ran over 6 miles (25 fitness trail laps) at the 9th annual Lore Laps for Life event.

Donations were added to the Mercer County Park Relay for Life event to support the American Cancer Society.

District Releases Plans for Additional $1.6 Million in State Aid Over 400K designated for Ewing Township Tax Relief

The Ewing Township Board of Education has developed a plan for its recently received additional $1,614,898 million in state aid. “As I stated, for the past several years, members of the Board and administration have been vocal and active in expressing our belief that the Ewing Schools were not being funded in an appropriate manner,” Superintendent Michael Nitti stated. “We are thankful that our concerns were heard and grateful for the elected officials who worked on our behalf to secure additional funding.” At the July 30th Board meeting, the Board of Education approved a plan that calls for the following utilization of the additional state aid funds.

Enhancing School Security: $290,599

The district plans on adding an additional School Security Coordinator to the district ranks. This will be the fifth SSC for the district, allowing for one dedicated SSC for each school. This well-received professional position has been in place in the Ewing Schools since 2013, and provides an expert security presence in the schools who also serves as a mentor for students and a resource for the staff. Money will also be allotted for other student safety initiatives, including improvements to the district security technology infrastructure, facility enhancements and procedural approaches to security.

Managing Class Size: $290,599

The Board of Education and administration have a vision for appropriate class size and are dedicated to ensuring that actual class size is within these parameters. These funds will be used to ensure this outcome. The first expenditure will be for an additional math teacher for the district, to address a class size issue in the Fisher Middle School math program. The administration will monitor district class size throughout the year, and make adjustments and allocate resources when necessary.

Expanding Student Programs: $290,599

These funds will be used to improve, enhance and expand academic, athletic and artistic programs for our students. The following areas are initially being targeted by the administration: • Adding an additional music teacher at Fisher Middle School. • Adding staff to support student’s social, emotional and psychological needs. This would include funding to continue initiatives such as support for student wellness,

drug awareness, and staff professional development on student psychology. • Supporting the growing theater program at Fisher Middle School. • Adding an Assistant Fall Cheerleading Coach at Ewing High School. • Enhancing our technology support staff team and approach.

Addressing Transportation and Facility Needs: $340,601

Funds will be allotted to address unanticipated transportation needs and expenses related to the Extended School Year program, athletics, and special needs transportation. Furthermore, the district will continue to expand its own inventory of busses and drivers to reduce dependency on outside contractors. The district will also designate revenue for our warehouse inventory control and record keeping initiatives. Furthermore, several schools have targeted facility work related to improving and enhancing safety.

Eliminating the Tax Increase of the 2018-19 School Budget: $402,500

These funds will be used to eliminate the tax increase that was part of the already approved 2018-19 school budget. This will be the second consecutive year that the Ewing School district budget will not include a tax rate increase. Indeed last year, the school tax rate decreased as a result of the district’s disappearing debt. This trend will continue over the next several years, putting the district in a very favorable financial position for the upcoming facility referendum. “It is certainly unusual to have an increase in State aid that is received in July, but the Board and administration worked together to develop a plan for the funds that is beneficial to the district and is respectful to our community,” Board President Karen McKeon stated. “We are optimistic and hopeful that this favorable financial trend will continue, and the Ewing Schools will finally be funded as they should be.”

What do you like best about Ewing High School? My favorite aspect of Ewing High School is that we, are so diverse in every way. In the past three years, I have been able to visit other schools in the county and see what cultures are represented walking in their halls. I can personally say that EHS has the most diverse group of students, not only in regards to culture, but lifestyles. This has made me truly appreciate everything that I have and solidified that I would not want to be a senior in any other high school. Who is your favorite teacher or coach? Though I have only known him for a year, Mr. Soto has quickly become my favorite coach, teacher, and person in Ewing High School. He always pushes everyone, especially me, to do the best that we can. Mr. Soto gives great personal advice and is very knowledgeable about many different aspects of life. I respect him greatly and hope to one day impact the lives of others, as much as he has over the years. In which activities do you participate? For EHS, I am a player on both the boys Soccer and Tennis teams and have been a student director for the spring musical for the past three years. I am heavily involved in the Student Council, in 11th grade I was vice-president and for this upcoming year, I will serve as co-president. I was inducted into the National Honor Society this past spring and I am a Peer Leader.

What are you looking forward to your senior year? Truly, there is not one specific thing I am looking forward to this coming school year. I am just ready to savor every moment that senior year has for me and all of my peers. What do you do outside of school? Outside of school, I am a part of the YMS boys’ soccer team in Pennsylvania. I work as a busboy at the Blooming Grove Inn in Ewing. I am also very invested in my church, helping out with various volunteer events and taking part in multiple missionary trips around the East Coast. Who or what has impacted your life in a positive way? Being involved in my church’s youth group and missionary trips has really changed my perspective on life. As well as meeting amazing, lifelong friends, I have had the chance to positively impact and help people who are at a disadvantage. How do you define success? From what Ewing High School has taught me, success is not based on how much money one attains, or how much knowledge one possesses. Success is based on how much ‘heart’ one has and how far one is willing to persevere to achieve whatever goal is ahead. What are your plans after you graduate? I plan to continue and expand my education at an out-of-state college. What is your favorite quote or book? “A lion never loses sleep over the opinions of sheep.”

Changes Abound PES Courtyard! The Parkway School courtyard once again is producing a bounty of tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries and herbs for consumption! Second grade students worked hard to plant, weed and harvest fruits and vegetables at the end of the school year and members of the PES Eco Schools team continued the upkeep during the summer months. With funding from EPEF, Eco Schools Workshop Project and NJ Sustainable Schools the PES Eco School committee is moving forward

on the plan to evolve the current courtyard layout to one that is more conducive to regular student use. A new walkway was installed in the courtyard this summer with the help and donated services from Groundswell Design Group and Sowsian Landscaping. Parkway School is very appreciative to Groundswell Design Group for donating their time and expertise in creating a design plan for the renovated courtyard space and to Sowsian Landscaping for donating the supplies and labor to create the walkway, plant flowers and move the greenhouse. Everything is ‘coming up daisies’ in Parkway courtyard with a little help from their friends!

Fisher Middle School is excited about its brand new Guitar course for rising 7th and 8th graders for the 2018-19 school year. This course was funded through a Ewing Public Education Foundation

Grant and allows students interested in playing the guitar a chance to have that experience. It will teach how to read music and how basic music theory works. Fisher is happy to add this elective to its numerous other musical electives in order to appeal to the interest of their students.

Devon Kueny reaches for the ball during girls’ soccer practice at Ewing High school on Aug. 20, 2018. (Photo by Suzette J. Lucas.)

By Justin Feil The Ewing High School girls’ soccer team has seen plenty of changes in four years so it’s reassuring to return a rock solid four-year player like Ally McConnell. “I think it’s going to be a growth year,” said the EHS senior. “We lost a lot of seniors and had eight or nine starting. I’m confident in this season. I think we’re all working well during the preseason. We’re going to have to work together and work hard.” McConnell and the Blue Devils have their third new head coach in four years. After Mike Reynolds finished his eighth season in 2015, Ellen Murphy coached the last two seasons before stepping down to have her first child this year. In her place, Ewing elevated her assistant and JV coach Shannon Pedersen, who grew up in Ewing, and after college, she returned to teach at Fisher Middle School. “I had almost all of them for their entire high school career,” Pedersen said. “Even before the middle school positon, I volunteered at the high school for a season. “It’s been a tremendous help being familiar with the way it’s run at the high school. I’ve had not only a lot of support from the girls, but also from the other coaches of teams at Ewing and the Ewing administration like Bud Kowal and Caryn (Lawton) in the athletic office.” Pedersen inherits a team that went 6-12, but pulled an upset win over Governor Livingston in the first round of the Central Jersey Group II state tournament with a goal from McConnell before being edged, 2-1, by highly regarded second seed Johnson the next round. “There’s a lot of good energy with the

start,” McConnell said. “We’re ready for the new season. There’s good chemistry because a lot of us have been playing together for a while.” The Blue Devils are putting the pieces together to replace the graduated seniors. They will use a mix of young players and older veterans who will be in bigger roles. One of the latter is Devon Kueny, a senior this year who came off the bench last year for a wide midfielder, and expects to see more time now in the field and in goal for the graduated goalie Mary Bystrycki. “This year, as Mary left I think I’ll be mostly in goal,” Kueny said. “I’ll definitely get reps at midfield. I played goalie since I was younger. I played for JV my freshman year. I know the position so I don’t have a problem playing there.” Versatility isn’t an issue for Kueny, who will share time in goal with Marian Ordonez. Kueny is one of the most well rounded athletes in Ewing. She wrestles in the winter and plays softball in the spring. She stays versatile in soccer. “When we’re doing shooting drills, I make sure I get reps both shooting and in goal,” Kueny said. “When I’m in goal, I like to talk to my players and make sure they know what’s going on and who their mark is. When I’m in the field, I try to keep that as well. Players are used to hearing my voice so I don’t want it to be a change.” McConnell, too, will be on the move. She played a forward position last year and has eight career goals. “This year, I’m probably going to be playing center mid,” she said. “I’m used to playing up top. I’m used to playing the middle too so it’ll be OK. I think this year I’m going to be focusing on making the plays happen. Last year, I was more trying to make the goals happen.” She’s also going to be relied on for lead-

were veterans on varsity last year. “I’m very keen on organization. Throughout the defense, that’s the 609-245-0006 building block. But you can’t score without a midfield and offense. The key will be possession and maintaining possession of the ball and building forward.” Pedersen is relying on her playing Olivia Van Wagner, MA, FAAA experiences and past coaching opportuNJ HAD Lic. #MG00064600 nities to guide her first varsity job. She has played for more than 20 years. She played scholastically at Notre Dame High before playing for Kean University. She has been happy with the attitude that she has seen early from the Blue Devils. “The one thing that I’ve seen that has 860 Lower Ferry Rd. #2 Ewing, NJ 08628 impressed me is the positivity,” Pedersen said. “It’s something you can’t coach. www.ewinghearinghealth.com • ovanwagner@gmail.com They’re encouraging the new athletes as well as pushing one another.

Putting her in the middle of the field puts her in the center of everything. “I have a leadership role now because as a senior I should be showing leadership to all the younger ones coming up,” McConnell said. “As a freshman, that was me, looking up to the seniors at that point.” Both Kueny and McConnell are hoping they can raise the standards for Ewing. They want their final season for the Blue Devils to be their best, and they understand that their class has to take the lead. “I think we’re good,” Kueny said. “There are a lot of people stepping up to their positons and taking leadership. People are realizing we’re the leaders now and we have to set the example and lead the younger kids. They’re filling the shoes well.” Pedersen and assistant coach Angelina Gummel, another Ewing product, have 20 players to choose from for varsity minutes. Competing for Ewing will be: Rukayat Ahmed, Haley Allen, Andie Barnes, Selma Benkhoukha, Abigail Buker, Bailey Gummel, Sianni James, Deandra Joseph, Kueny, McConnell, Marian Ordonez, K’La Peyton, Lanie Picerno, Kyla Pischel, Yah’Rai Rodriguez, Olivia Ruch, Louisa Scozzaro, Ashton Stemler, Melina Towlen and MaChaya Williams-Traylor. “Last year we mostly practiced as one big group,” Kueny said. “We definitely know Coach Pedersen. It wasn’t as big of a difference as some people expected it to be. We know how she coaches. It wasn’t hard to go from Murph to her.” Pedersen has been around the program and knows the sort of players that she has. She is looking to bring them together as quickly as possible. “They have a nice mix this year,” Pedersen said. “We have a really solid defense as well as a strong midfield and forwards. We have a lot of speed. Andie Barnes and Kyla Pischel are back. They

The fridge and the flu By Helen Kull Another chapter of “Destination: Ewingville” continues this month as we explore what happened to the Ewingville driving track area. But doing so requires a little bit of background. So grab a nice cold drink from the fridge, sit down and consider this... In 1886, during the height of the driving track years, a Hopewell resident by the name of Clement V. Hill was anxious about making a decent living for himself and his wife of three years, and so he and his wife’s brother started a grocery business in Trenton. Clement had been a creative and inventive child with an innate ability to develop and build things, and had constructed, among other things, a miniature village with a working, riding railroad in the front yard of his family’s farmhouse in Hopewell. So although he was likely a good grocer, he was most interested in developing better support systems for the grocery business. Hill immediately realized that improving the crude ice bins used for keeping meat, butter and other foods fresh would result in less loss to the business, and a far fresher, better product for the consumer. He soon developed a meat cooler (originally of wood!) that kept food colder for a longer period of time. He figured out the principles of refrigeration, and despite some failures, his many improvements and successes eventually became Hill Refrigerator Works. He patented his inventions, moved to a larger facility on Pennington Road in Trenton in 1896, and began to sell refrigerators and refrigerated display cases to grocers, steamship companies, and the government. By 1910 his products were

in great demand. CV Hill had begun both a company and an entire industry. By the early 1920s, Mr. Hill was a very successful businessman, having devised many innovations and improvements to his refrigerator products. Retail frozen food product manufacturers like Birdseye vegetables and various ice cream companies used Hill products in retail and commercial establishments. The 1900 census shows Mr. Hill living in Trenton, but by 1920 he had moved out of the city to a home on Pennington Road in Ewing. In 1921, Mr. Hill purchased the entire race track area east of Pennington Road, plus some additional, “pre-college” farm land south of the race track. The driving track had been essentially abandoned for some time, and Mr. Hill’s intent was to create a new, high profile destination in the area. This area of Ewing is still called “Hillwood Lakes” for a reason, and next month we will discuss some specifics of the Ewingville destination this “refrigeration king” created. *** In the meantime, regular readers of this column may recall that this past March, the column marked the 100th anniversary of the Flu Pandemic of 1918. In that column, I mentioned that The College of New Jersey would be marking the anniversary, and discussing various aspects of the epidemic. I’m pleased to share that the first event in the series “Plague, Progress and Prevention: 100 Years after the “Spanish” Flu Changed the World” will occur on Tuesday, Sept. 25, when Gina Kolata, senior science and medicine reporter for the New York Times, and author of the book Flu: The Story of the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918, and the Search for the Virus that Caused It, will be the featured speaker at “The Great Epidemic: 100 Years Later” from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the Education Building, Room 212. The public is welcomed to this free event hosted by the schools of science and nursing at the college. Two additional events will occur on Oct. 3 and 10. Readers may also recall that my column invited persons to share stories about the impact the pandemic had on their family, which in turn might be shared at the symposium. This invitation still remains, although stories will have to be shared no later than Sept. 5. Please contact me at ewingthenandnow@gmail.com by that date if you wish to share a story, or the recollection of another family member’s story. Your story needn’t be shared in person at the symposium; it can be written or recorded. The point is to portray the personal impact of the pandemic. I hope you will join us in understanding and remembering the 1918 Pandemic on Sept. 25, 2018 at the College.

I am a crafter. There, I said it. Being a crafter means that I spend a lot of time making stuff to sell, either online or at craft shows. And therein lies my story. Craft shows. Craft shows are not for the meek or hyper-sensitive. You have to prepare yourself to have your hard work— the stuff that you have poured your heart and soul (and paycheck) into for months, the stuff that you have sweated at, burned yourself on, cut yourself on, breathed in burlap fibers from, and binge-watched Netflix while working—to be critiqued, criticized, picked up , shaken, and otherwise scrutinized and not get your feelings hurt, or worse, not get really angry. I have been doing craft shows for six years. I have sold decorated mason jars, Christmas stockings, wooden plaques, twig and burlap wreaths, and framed sea glass shadow boxes over the years. Nowadays I just do burlap wreaths and sea glass. I usually do three shows a year, but this year I threw caution to the winds and decided to do a two-day one in July at Peddler’s Village. One of the attractions was that we could set up our tent the day before. It’s always stressful to have to set up the tent the morning of an outdoor show, because chances are excellent that we will screw up the tent erection somehow and have to enlist the help of our booth neighbors. I got a larger tent for this season. Two days before the show, my husband and right-hand man George and I decided to do a practice run with it. So we dragged it out to our backyard and proceeded to try and set it up efficiently. Oh, I forgot to mention that it was 175 degrees outside with a dew point of 1,000 and a rather large gnat and mosquito family reunion going on outside. I’m not going to go into the ugly details but suffice it to say that after about 20 minutes of wrestling with the tent while simultaneously spitting out bugs, I ended up consulting YouTube and finding a video of some guy putting up the same exact tent by himself in like 5 minutes. Easy-peasy. The next day, me, George and our eldest son Georgie went to Peddler’s Village to put up the tent. With Georgie there, it went very smoothly, which is a miracle because anything that my family attempts to do always produces disastrous, or at the very least, hilarious results. Craft Show Day dawned. At 5:30 a.m., tit was 82 degrees. By noon, it was equator-hot. Any attempt at looking neat and put together and not scaring potential

customers away went out the window by 8 a.m. For that entire day, we were quite literally dripping wet. It was so hot that the glue on some of my framed sea glass melted. We had to keep one tent wall up to guard against the sun hitting the sea glass because it would steam up the shadow boxes. So there we were, sitting in this blazing hot tent in our custom-made tee shirts, watching the sea glass steam up, making small talk with sweating customers and wishing we were in cool water up to our earlobes. On the second day, we sat in that sweat box of a tent with all four walls up, from 10 a.m. till noon, while a storm raged outside. Rain, wind, thunder and lightning. It occurred to us more than once that we were sitting on metal folding chairs in a tent, in an open field, with metal poles all around us. But we got through unscathed, except for losing about five pounds from sweating. At about noon, the storm dissipated, and customers started coming. I love doing craft shows. Poor George hates the getting-up-before-dawn part and the lugging of all my stuff, but he loves interacting with (most) customers. He is extremely supportive of my crafting, especially since most nights find me working in my craft room, thus enabling him to watch whatever he wants on TV without my constant yapping. So crafting is my not-so-guilty pleasure. It’s good therapy, it’s fun and it keeps me out of trouble. Most of the time.
