Hopewell Museum rings in changes

Small town, Big Read

By BRiLLiAn BAo

Pennington Public Library using NEA grant to launch programming based around the novel ‘True Grit’

With its 100th anniversary approaching, the Hopewell Museum is busy making changes. Over the past year alone, the museum has launched a series of initiatives, including the development of programming for local schools, creation of community forums to engage the public, exhibition of new displays on topics including the Revolutionary War and family life, establishment of the first ever Hopewell Valley Heritage Weekend, and improvement of its object and archival collections to increase accessibility to visiting researchers and the community. Joe Klett, the president of the Hopewell Museum, says that while these changes are important, says that it has been equally important for the museum to communicate them clearly to the local community. “People were used to it operating in a certain way,” Klett says. “You went to the museum and saw the same exhibits that you saw the year before. When people hear that we’re rethinking some of it, they think we’re changing what the purpose of the museum is. They think that we’re not going to tell the same stories that we’ve told in the past.” But Klett and other board members say that this is not the case. While the museum is See MUSEUM, Page 10

Longtime chiropractor Dr. Fogler also treating weight loss

William Fogler with his daughters Kyla, left, and Ava, hiking last summer in the Delware Water Gap.

Eighteen years ago Dr. William Fogler returned to his hometown, and opened up his first chiropractic office in Hopewell Borough. He then opened a second office above the Stop and Shop on Denow Road. Then six years ago he made the move to solo practice in the Pennington Market Shopping Center. “I am born and bred in Hopewell. It was a great place to grow up, and is a great place to raise a family”, Fogler said. He attended Hopewell Valley Schools K-12, and currently his two daughters go to school in the district. While growing up, Fogler was an active soccer player, swimmer, and track runner. He continued his education at the University of South Florida, majoring in business. “When I was in college I was dating a girl whose father was a chiropractor. Her father explained what he did from a health and wellness standpoint, working with healing a body. What he taught me made a lot of sense. He adjusted me, and in only two visits the restless legs I had since childhood was gone. I made the decision then, that’s what I’m going to do.” From the University of South Florida, Fogler graduated, with honors, as a Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Now, in addition to chiropractic, Dr. Fogler is helping people safely and effectively lose weight. The program is called ChiroThin, a six week natural diet program designed solely for chiropractors to administer. “It is a whole food, low-glycemic, and anti-inflammatory diet,” explains Dr. Fogler. The program involves being monitored weekly to check the patient’s progress. In Dr. Fogler’s experience patients lose on average 21 pounds in six weeks and drop two to three dress sizes. The current record for the office is 45 pounds in just six weeks. “People are burning fat on this diet and losing inches,” Dr.Fogler said. “Because this eating plan reduces inflammation, many patients are also lowering their blood pressure and blood sugars, and reducing joint pain throughout their bodies. Many have been able to reduce or eliminate their diabetes medicine, because their bodies are starting to function as they are supposed to,” Dr. Fogler said. After the six weeks, patients are re-assessed. Dr. Fogler takes into account how much weight was lost, the patient’s lifestyle, and what their goals are moving forward. Dr. Fogler said, “The patients are able to keep the weight off after they finish the six weeks, because they have the tools to know how to do it. The program will get the weight off, but more importantly, it helps establish new eating behaviors for long term success.” As for Dr. Fogler, he continues to lead an active lifestyle and is always on the go, especially with his two daughters. If you’d like more information about the program, please call the office at 609-737-2006 or stop by in person at his office in the Pennington Market Shopping Center. You can also look up Fogler Chiropractic on Facebook or www.Foglerchiropractic.com. The consultation to see if you are a good candidate for this program is always free. Space is limited though, as Dr. Fogler works personally with each patient he accepts. 4Hopewell Express | January 2019

Judge hands PennEast victory in pipeline battle A judge from the U.S. District Court of New Jersey ruled Dec. 14 that the PennEast Pipeline Company can acces lands in New Jersey, both public and private, through eminent domain in order to conduct environmental surveys with the intention of showing that its planned 120-mile natural gas pipeline will not be a harm to the environment. Judge Brian Martinotti ruled that 136 property owners who had been denying PennEast access to their land for the purpose of conducting surveys must give that access to PennEast. The ruling also dismissed claims by the state attorney general’s office to block access to certain properties in which New Jersey has a conservation interest. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted PennEast permission to build its pipeline in January 2018. Landowners made their cases against PennEast in April. Approximately one third of the pipeline route is located within Hunterdon and Mercer counties. As reported by NJSpotlight’s Jon Hurdle, PennEast must show to the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection that its project will not violate federal water-quality standards, and that it complies with other state rules including those on flood hazards, storm water and endangered species.

The pipeline would originate in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, site of the Marcellus Shale deposit, said to be an abundant source of natural gas. The gas would be accessed through the process known as fracking, which critics say is harmful to the environment. PennEast asserts that the pipeline has the potential to provide low-cost energy to homes and businesses throughout the area. In its media release, PennEast averred that it strives to build positive relationships with landowners, the community and governmental agencies. “With [the] ruling, PennEast can collect and supply scientific data as required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the NJDEP for PennEast’s permits to ensure a thorough and complete application,” said Tony Cox, chairman of the PennEast Board of Managers. Members of the Hopewell Valley community have been organized in opposition to the proposal since 2014, when it was first proposed, forming a group called Hopewell Township Citizens Against the PennEast Pipeline, or HTCAPP. In 2016, more than 8,000 people signed a regional petition opposing the pipeline. Speaking at the Hopewell Township Committee meeting Dec. 17, Patty Cronheim, the founder of HTCAPP, outreach coordinator for Rethink Energy New Jersey, and chair of the Hopewell Township Pipeline Task Force, characterized the judge’s ruling as a preliminary injunction. “There will not be any transfer of title

or final taking until there is a process where they go through what is just compensation. To that end, the judge has appointed commissioners for that,” she said. “Our attorneys will be trying to hold off that process because if there is no transfer of title then it will be easier to get these orders vacated once we do succeed in defeating PennEast ... this decision from the judge in absolutely no way affects our ability to stop this pipeline.” Cronheim estimated that the surveys could take PennEast and its surveyors a year to complete.

Harvest Fair makes 19 grants to area nonprofits The Hopewell Harvest Fair Board of Trustees distributed grants to 19 local nonprofit organizations on Nov. 27 at its annual grant ceremony. Since its inception in 1987, the Hopewell Harvest Fair has dispersed more than $200,000, in grant funding to nonprofit groups working in the Hopewell Valley. In a media release, the Harvest Fair board reported that it was able to distribute four times the amount of grant funding this year as in 2017, with every organization who requested a grant receiving an award. The board credited the hard work of the all-volunteer 2018 planning committee and the generosity of local business sponsors. This year’ grant recipients include 19 organizations that work on a variety of issues, including youth, the arts, children with special needs, and more. Grants were distributed to Hopewell

READ continued from Page 1 book. Thanks in large part to a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, as well as matching donations from area businesses and organizations, PPL will also be hosting a large slate of True Grit-related and inspired programs, including screenings of both films that have been made based on the novel, one in 1969 starring John Wayne, and one in 2010 directed by the Coen Brothers. PPL is one of just 79 organizations nationwide that won NEA Big Read grants this cycle. Kim Ha, the library’s director since 2012, says the library has done a number of noteworthy programs in the past, like Science in the Everyday and Bridging Cultures: Muslim Journeys. But she says this is the biggest thing PPL has done in her tenure. “It fits in with our mission of fostering discussion and dialogue,” she says. “People are talking about validity of a library today. There’s something to be said for promoting face-to-face interaction.” PPL received $5,000 from the NEA. “Five thousand dollars is what we asked for and got,” says Kathleen Nash, president of the PPL Board of Trustees. “We could have asked for more, but they require us to match whatever we get. We had to lineup partnerships within the community—the NEA wants visibility, it wants to see collaboration. We had to have 10 community partners to apply for the grant. Now we have that many and more.” Nash started volunteering with the library 10 years ago. She says she had long heard murmurings from people that there was interest in a Big Readtype of program. Ha and the board started looking seriously into it last year. “It’s a pretty extensive grant program,” Nash says. “There were something like 30 titles to choose from. The staff and board looked at the books and True Grit was something we thought would be appealing to the most people.” Portis’ novel is a serio-comic novel that simultaneously exists in the Western tradition while also satirizing it. It’s a firstperson narrative told by 14-year-old Mat-

tie Ross. At the start of the story, Ross’ father has been murdered by a drifter. She engages Marshal Rooster Cogburn, a man she believes has true grit, to help her get vengeance on her father’s killer. “We liked this book for our community,” Nash says. “It has an exciting story, sharp dialogue, and the main character is a 14-year-old girl.” Among the planned programs are talks by noted Charles Portis scholar Jay Jennings, who will be coming from Arkansas, where Portis lives, to speak on March 3 at The Pennington School. A living history actor, Kim Hanley of American Historical Theatre, will also portray famed 19th century American Annie Oakley for an evening presentation at the library on March 1. The library is also coordinating with the Hopewell Valley Regional School District and The Pennington School to engage middle and high school students on a number of levels. Students will be asked to read the novel and also to write essays about someone in their lives who has shown “true grit.” “People think of libraries as information centers,” Ha says. “But they’ve been transformed into community hubs. The library will begin distributing free copies of the book in January. More information, including up-to-the-minute scheduleing changes, are online at penningtonlibrary.org.

ART continued from Page 1 display. The one-time interior designer happened upon a technique for working with metal and has been honing it since the day she discovered it. “It was one of those happy accidents,” she says. “I was making a candle holder out of wood, and I wanted to do a tiny one-inch metal rim along the top. As I was pouring the (hot) metal, I saw it splashing on the floor and I was mesmerized — it was so beautiful. I kind of never looked at the candle holder again. And I was like, how do I work with this?” What she does is this: she takes bars of metal and melts them down until they are molten. When she’s got the metal at the temperature she wants it, she takes it and throws it against a variety of different materials, including wood, glass and ceramic. “It’s all in the wrist, how I throw it and where I throw it, if I want a round glob or something shiny,” she says. “Whatever it hits, it cools within three seonds and it takes on a different shape depending on what it hits. Then I start working with it. I have a few seconds to do what I need to do.” When her metal pieces are the way she wants them, she mounts them on wood or paper. “The materials I use are pretty crude. “They’re not really feminine or delicate, but I like to let them be what they are and they end up this feminine, delicate thing,” she says. “And I like to allow it to have its character. Sometimes the metal will burn a little bit and go gold, and I love that and embrace it. I just let it be what it is.” ***

Joy in the Ever yday, an exhibition of works by members of the Hopewell Valley Arts Council, will be on display in the Investors Bank Art and Healing Galler y of Capital Health Medical Center through March 25. (Photo by Kyle Willie.) Cheryl Bomba is another artist taking part in the show. The photographer says that in sharing her photos, she hopes theose who see the exhibition see the things that give her joy and can relate it to themselves, remember a time when they were in a similar place and experienced that same joy. The ones she chose to exhibit “tended to be the ones that I find myself just going back to over time,” she says.

By day, Bomba is a teacher working with students who are on the autism spectrum. One experience in particular set her on a course to becoming an art photographer. “Students with autism generally have problems with verbal communication,” she says. “Back in the 90’s, the district I was working for purchased Polaroid cameras. The idea was that we were supposed to take picturess of our students

throughout the day and we could send those home with the children in their backpacks. If the children couldn’t tell what they did in school, they could show what they did.” The experience, she says, was not a good one. “I would see what the kids were engaged with at school, but the photos would often be terrible. And of course you coudln’t see what you did until the picture came out of the camera. It was not my favorite thing to do,” she says. Things changed toward the end of that year, when she visited a friend who was also a teacher in the district working with students on the spectrum. “Her pictures were stunning,” the Hopewell resident says. “I said, ‘I had no idea you were such a great photographer!” And she said, ‘No, I have this new thing, it’s called a digital camera.’ This is when the top-of-the-line camera was one megapixel.” Everything changed for Bomba after she got her first digital camera. “A lot of my first photography was pictures of my students being the kids that their parents knew they were,” she says. Freed from the limitations of film, she was able to snap shots until she felt she had got them right.

Some of Bomba’s photographs are photorealistic, while others are digitally manipulated and still others are digitally embellished with features that never existed in the original. She says she doesn’t have a cognitive process for how she works. “It’s how I feel when I look at it,” she says, noting that for every photo-

graph she has in her portfolio, there are hundreds or thousands that didn’t make the cut. She says in terms of photo editing and using software to alter her photos, she has benefited from her roles as a resident artist and assistant gallery director of the Centre for the Arts in Bristol, Pennsylvania. “Instrumental for me moving forward with my technique was being involved in the gallery, being with other artists and learning from them,” she says. Other artists whose works are on display include Teri Anderson, Tyler Bell, Kristen Birdsey, Janis Blayne Paul, Marissa Blossom, Linda Bradshaw, Connie Cruser, Morris Docktor, Jennifer Driscoll, Lora Marie Durr, James Feehan, Gary David Fournier, Mary Galioto, Spirha Gupta, Lori Johansson, Joy Kreves, Lori Langsner, Rory Mahon and Linda Martin-Mills.

MUSEUM continued from Page 1 in the middle of curating new exhibits, it is also looking for ways to keep its older displays engaging and educational. “There are good things to build off of, but there’s always room to make things better, different and more engaging,” said Klett. “That’s what organizations like museums are supposed to do. Our job is to bring people through the door, and that means changing things up from time to time.” *** The Hopewell Museum has changed considerably since its establishment in 1922. The museum was initially incorporated under the Hopewell Free Public Library and Museum Funding and Building Association, which had been tasked with housing a small collection of antiques donated by Sarah D. Stout, a resident of Hopewell Valley. After briefly occupying the building that now houses the Hopewell Borough Library, the association moved to its current location at 28 E. Broad St. Over the next few years, various community members, including Susan and Eleanor Weart, were instrumental in expanding the association’s collection, bringing in items that they believed accurately represented life in the Hopewell area. As the collection grew and space in the building became tight, the association relocated the library to a separate address. Two years later, the museum expanded again after David H. Hill made a two-story addition to the building. Hill, a former Hopewell resident, had lived a few doors from the museum as a child. His collection of Southwestern Native American crafts was displayed in the new space, alongside the museum’s growing collection of photographs, maps, weapons, tools, charters and other items. Though the museum has changed its exhibits and expanded its collections, it has maintained its original mission to preserve and display village life

in America. Like the maps, records, and furniture donated in 1922, most of the museum’s items have come from the surrounding area, and many of these items were used by previous generations of Hopewell residents. *** The museum’s most recent changes come following the departure of two of its curators, Beverly Weidl and David L. Blackwell. Weidl had served as the museum’s curator for nearly 50 years before stepping down last year. Blackwell, who succeeded Weidl, died in April, just days after he was appointed Hopewell Township’s first Historian. Weidl died in September. Blackwell was widely regarded as the best candidate to become historian, given his extensive work to preserve and educate others on the township’s history. Prior to his work at the museum, Blackwell had served as the president and secretary of the Hopewell Valley Historical Society, was an active member of the Hopewell Township Historical Sites Committee, and was a founding member of the Hopewell Township Historic Preservation Committee. “We were very glad to have David on board originally as our archivist and then curator,” Klett said. “With his passing, the community lost a very wonderful resource in terms of what he knew and his willingness to share it with people.” The museum has continued the work that Blackwell left behind, archiving Blackwell’s research papers on local history and genealogy and furthering the museum’s partnerships with other community organizations. One partnership that Blackwell had helped develop was that between the museum and the Hopewell Valley Historical Society. The relationship between the two organizations grew out of Pennington Borough’s and Hopewell Borough’s 125th anniversary celebrations, both of which Blackwell and the organizations contributed substantially to.

Assistant curator Cydney Perske and curator Bonita Grant at the Hopewell Museum, Dec. 17, 2018. (Staff photo by Joe Emanski.) Following the success of the celebration, the museum and historical society formed a program committee to plan similar public educational programs together, including lectures and presentations. “There was this realization that we could complement each other’s work quite a bit,” said Klett. “One of the great things about partnering with the Hopewell Historical Society is that between the two boards, there’s a lot of expertise in different areas such as local history, archeology, archives, and genealogy.” Klett believes that the collaboration between the two partners has made the museum’s exhibits more engaging for the community. Most recently, they organized a group of experts to deliver

presentations in local classrooms and facilitate visits to the museums. Klett says the museum has seen considerable interest in the newly renovated Native American exhibit. “In the past, we had a lot of eclectic Native American objects in the museum that weren’t really representative of the Native Americans that were in the Hopewell area,” Klett said. “You weren’t really getting the story about the Indians in the area when you saw what was on display. What we want to do is tell you the story of the Native Americans in the Hopewell area — the story of when the Europeans settled, what the interactions were, how things worked, and what the Indians received in exchange for the land. We’re looking at the records that document those interactions and consulting with the New Jersey Tribal Council on the artifacts in the museum. We want to present the information in a way that’s much more educational than it was in the past.” Building off the momentum of its partnerships with the New Jersey Tribal Council and the Hopewell Valley Historical Society, the museum is looking to developing its relationships with other local organizations as well, including the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum, Hopewell Valley Heritage Committee, and Hopewell Public Library. By pursuing these partnerships, the museum hopes to create exhibitions and programming that touch upon previously unexamined aspects of history and include different parts of the community. One prominent initiative supported by all of these organizations has been Hopewell Valley’s Heritage Weekend, a weekend of events designed to celebrate the area’s history and culture. For the inaugural event last year, the museum partnered with the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum to present a reenactment of an encampment by the 6th Regiment, United States Colored Infantry, an African-American

battle regiment that fought for freedom in the Civil War. To accompany the reenactment, the museum hosted a lecture about African-Americans from Mercer County who served in the army. The museum hopes to continue the success of Heritage Weekend next year. Though they have not selected a theme, Klett said that the museum is considering a display featuring its Native American collection to highlight the recent changes to the exhibit. He hopes that events like these will continue to strengthen ties between museum and community. “There are so many aspects of this that we’re open to rethinking that we don’t know exactly where this goes,” said Klett. “We do know that wherever we take the museum going forward, it will be more participatory. We want to make sure there is community involvement by having people tell us what they’re interested in seeing and how we might use the museum to be part of the bigger picture of what’s happening within this community.”

Antimo’s Italian Kitchen

Housemade pasta, fresh local ingredients, family recipes—a special dining experience For 20 years, Antimo’s Italian Kitchen has offered residents of Hopewell and the surrounding area the finest cuisine of Southern Italy. Conveniently located in the heart of Hopewell at 52 East Broad Street and famously known for its homemade pasta and dishes made with the freshest ingredients from local farms, Antimo’s is the destination of choice for casual, family-friendly setting for family-style foods with indoor and outdoor seating areas. The restaurant seats 80 inside, and another 18 outside during good weather. Owner Antimo Iovine was meant to be a chef. Born near Naples, Italy, the rich heritage of the flavors and tastes of the region are part of his nature. In fact, his whole family is part of the tradition of hospitality. His wife Daniella and other family members take an active role in providing a hearty welcome to diners. Many dishes are family recipes. As a young man, he started his career at Rudolfo’s in New Brunswick, which had been owned and operated by his father since the 1950s. By 1994, he came to Hopewell to work for his uncles, then the owners of Sansone Brothers. Four years later in 1998, he purchased the restaurant. Iovine states, “We take pride in buying local. We create dishes using the best fresh ingredients, primarily from numerous local providers such as Terhune’s, Brick Farm, Trenton Farmers’ Market and Marchese Farm. All our fish is purchased from local vendors so we can be sure our wildcaught Gulf shrimp and wild-caught salmon is as fresh as possible. We also serve Bell and Evans chicken. It is the centrepiece of our popular Chicken Daniella, featuring mixed mushrooms, caramelized onions in a Marsala and cream sauce, served over our own handmade fettuccini. Our wine list includes local Unionville Wines.” While diners can feast on familiar Italian dishes, the stars of the menu are those featuring Antimo’s signature homemade pasta. “Our executive pasta chef, Nino Galastro, brings the art of fine pasta making to bear to make specialty dishes such as our signature Lobster Ravioli or Agnolotti in brown sage butter or bolognese sauce.” Antimo’s specializes in thin crust pizza in 12” or generous 16” sizes,

Antimo Iovine of Antimo’s Italian Restaurant preparing some of his restaurant’s signature house-made pasta. Brooklyn or Sicilian style pies, and gourmet pies. “Don’t forget our Trenton Tomato Pie with fresh plum tomato and our sausage which is made by hand, right in our kitchen,” Iovine says smiling. “Our dining room and outdoor patio are casual and family friendly,” says Iovine. “Guests enjoy personalized service from an experienced friendly waitstaff. If a diner wishes to order something special, we’ll create it if we have the ingredients.” “For entertaining, our dining room can accommodate private parties. We cater home and office parties too. In fact, we can bring our wood fired pizza oven right to your event. For the holiday season, until January 15th, we offer special menus such as a four course dinner or three course lunch.” Giving back to the community is also a hallmark of Iovine’s philosophy. “We recognize the importance of community involvement and charitable giving.” Become part of the Antimo’s family and dive into a world of fine Italian dining.

Junior Ethan Block has been a key attacker for Hopewell Valley Central High School ice hockey. (Photo by Rich Fisher.)

By Rich Fisher Ethan Block knew he was born to be a forward when they tried to make him a defenseman. “I was a defender when I first started, and I was a really terrible defender,” Block said. “I was the smallest kid on the team and it made zero sense. I couldn’t hit anybody. It was a really awkward position. Eventually I went up to forward, and I realized I was made for it.” The statistics bear that out. Now in his junior season on the Hopewell Valley Central High ice hockey team, Block entered the season with 24 career goals and 11 assists. He collected 14 and 8 as a freshman and 10 and 2 last year despite being hindered by an ankle injury and missing half the season. Through HoVal’s first three games this year he has 2 goals and 2 assists. “He has one of the most unbelievable abilities to find some way to make a goal happen,” Bulldogs coach Jeff Radice said. “He’s got the goal scoring touch. Not everybody’s born with that, but he was born with it and he puts it to use for sure.” He wasn’t using it much in third grade, which is when he started with the Nassau Hockey Club. His natural ability hadn’t yet surfaced, which is what led him to being a blue-liner. “I was not one of the best players on the team,” he recalled. “They were probably down to the last few kids on the roster so they were like saying to us

‘All right you go here, you’ll play here, you’ll sit the games and Ethan, you play defense.’” That grand experiment lasted for two years until Block was finally moved up front. His first few seasons were uneventful, but by age 12 his growth began to accelerate and he became faster and stronger and began flying past opposing defenders. “Ever since then, I just love getting on the ice every single day,” Block said. “It’s definitely one of my favorite things to do outside of school.” He certainly has plenty to do while in school. Block is currently in the Model United Nations and Future Business Leaders of America. He also took part in the March For Our Lives after the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. He served as the organizer for the march in Philadelphia. “Ever since then I’ve been in in Philadelphia every other weekend, talking to students, organizing other events, really just getting to know the people in Philadelphia,” Block said. “That’s been a life changing experience.” One thing that has stayed the same, however, is Block’s fervor for hockey. After his early days with Nassau, he moved to the Lawrence Flames five years ago and played on their 18 AA team this fall. During his freshman year with the Bulldogs he had five multi-point games and two multi-goal games while getting at least one point in 16 games. In his abbreviated sophomore season,

Block three multi-goal games. “I’m really excited to be back and at full strength,” Block said. “We’ve got a few of our best players from last year off to college, but I’m prepared to step into whatever coach needs me to do.” Radice knows there is plenty for Block to do. “We’re kind of a next man, next woman up kind of program as it is,” the coach said. “These guys know that. Somebody goes down, somebody steps up. Ethan knows his role this year and he’s gonna definitely step right into it.” His role will be to continue scoring, while also providing leadership. It should not be too difficult, as the latter responsibility is an extension of his life. “The way Ethan carries himself on the ice is the same exact way he carries himself off the ice,” Radice said. “He’s always prepared, he’s always ready to work, he’s very mature, way beyond his age. It definitely carries onto the ice. His leadership has been great. There’s not enough I can say about him. He has a way about him that’s kind of contagious and the guys follow right behind him. It’s exactly what you’re looking for in a leader. “ Block has played left wing most of his career but is in the process of moving to center. He says it doesn’t matter to him “because there’s so much move-

ment, I kind of feel like forward is all one position.” Being in the right position, however, is the key to Block’s goal scoring. “I do not have a very good slap shot,” he said. “For me it’s a lot of garbage goals. Nothing pretty. It’s all about getting in front of the net, overpowering other defenders and just getting to the puck. That’s kind of been my main way of scoring and it’s worked so far.” What has helped make it work, ironically, are his days as a defenseman. Despite not playing the position well, he learned to understand how a defenseman thinks. Thus, he is able to attack them with a better idea of what to do. “I learned a lot about the game in those first few years and I think defense really allowed me to experience that side of the game,” Block said. “Now that I’m at forward it’s a lot easier because of that. It’s definitely helped. The game has changed since we were barely able to skate around. But I have the ability to tell where a defender is going just by his feet because I was taught that stuff at a very young age. I find it easier because of that.” Further proof that everything happens for a reason. Block was not cut out to be a defenseman, but he became a better forward because he was one.

‘Ethan is always prepared, he’s mature beyond his years,’ Coach Radice said. ‘It’s exactly what you’re looking for in a leader.’

ing with the spouse on what to have for dinner. Even more offensive are the passengers wearing earbuds who have the volume turned way up so they can share with the whole car “The Best of Tuvan Throat Singing” or “Shrillest Sopranos of the 20th Century” or “Disco, Disco, Disco.” Sure, there’s a quiet car, but just try to find a seat. I used to take comfort in knowing that people who walked down the street talking to themselves were run-of-the-mill schizophrenics. Now, you can’t tell the psychotics from people just talking on their phones. Beyond the fact that phones encourage alienation, they also portend the total destruction of human intellect. Ask any educator about the intrusion of phones in the classroom. In the nascent days of cell phones, I used to tell my students, “If your phone goes off, you fail—agreed?” a line which I delivered in my most terrifying voice accompanied by a ghastly death-stare. One morning, a phone went off, and the student wet his pants. Other instructors employ embarrassment rather than fear to discourage the mind-blocking phone addiction, “If I see you fumbling in your lap under your desk, there are only two things that you could be doing …” But the catastrophic impact on learning goes beyond the classroom, and it is cosmic in its scope. With the omnipresence of phones, there is no need to know anything anymore. Think of all the vital questions needing to be answered ranging from the International: “Name the studio musicians on the Beatles’ White Album,” to the National: “Since assuming office, how many lies have been told by the Tweeterin-Chief (aka the Head Twit)?” to the Local: “What is the origin of the slogan ‘Trenton Makes the World Takes’ emblazoned on the Trenton Makes Bridge? (which begs the question, “When was the last time Trenton made anything that the world took?”) Don’t know the answers? Pick up your phone. It’s all there. There is no need to know anything, no need to feign knowledge or deliver an educated guess with authoritative certitude. Currently, phones are as good as embedded in most everyone’s left hand. Those hands will be freed up once phones are implanted in the brain. Confession: After intense pressure from my immediate family, I acquired a flip phone. No smart phone for me—I’m holding out for the brain implant. Robin Schore lives in Titusville.
