Atlantic Realty buys controversial tract for $40 million By Bill sanseRVino

By BaRt JaCKson “Nancy! Nancy! Nancy!” wails the high-pitched plea from a far corner of the Rush Holt Environmental Education Center in the Plainsboro Preserve. A visitor, distressed by the cries, pulls her attention away from the scores of birds bustling around the tiers of feeder stations outside and looks around the center’s large expanse. Peering past the nature library shelves, the spotting scopes focused on McCormack Lake outside the building, and the snake terrariums, her eyes vainly search the indoor tree house. “Isn’t someone going to help that poor child?” the woman asks Lorraine Jackson, the volunteer behind the reception desk? “Oh, no,” says Jackson. “That’s only Ringo. He’s an injured starling whom we found and adopted over a decade ago. He picked up our language deceptively well, don’t you think?” A few moments later, Nancy Fiske, director of the Plainsboro Preserve, appears, sporting a smug-looking Ringo on her forearm.

‘Alien invaders’ on the loose Lanternflies endanger Christmas trees, other plant life By Julia maRnin Beware of alien invaders this Christmas, and be prepared to kill them on sight. That’s the warning the state Department of Agriculture has issued regarding the latest nonnative insect to come to our region. If part of your holiday tradition involves venturing to

a local farm and picking the perfect-sized tree on which to display your ornaments, watch out for unusual gray blobs on the bark of your ideal pine or fir. These gray clusters could contain around 30-50 eggs of an invasive species known as the spotted lanternfly, a winged insect native to China, that the state of New Jersey is encouraging residents to destroy immediately if discovered. Mercer County is currently under quarantine along with seven other New Jersey counties because of this colorful

planthopper pest that has infiltrated the state. The spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, has spread throughout Southeast Asia and Korea and more recently the east coast of the United States—mainly Pennsylvania and New Jersey. “While it is not harmful to humans or pets, (the lanternfly) does feed on 70 different types of vegetation and prefers the Tree of Heaven, which is an invasive plant that is present in much of New Jersey,” said Jeff See LANTERNFLIES, Page 14

The 558-acre former American Cyanamid tract has a new owner. What that means for the future of the property is anyone’s guess. The property was sold on Oct. 29 by Howard Hughes Corporation to Atlantic Realty for $40 million. The property, which is located at the corner of Route 1 and Quakerbridge Road, is one of the largest contiguous undeveloped properties on the East Coast. It has been vacant since 2004. The sale is the result of a management reshuffle at Howard Hughes and a decision to sell about $2 billion of non-core assets, including the West Windsor property. The company announced the sale of the tract in an earnings call on Nov. 5. West Windsor Mayor Hemant Marathe confirmed to The News that the property had been sold to the Woodbridge-based Atlantic Realty. He said that he had been “playing phone tag” with officials from the company and was unaware what their plans are for the tract. Calls by The News to Atlantic Realty for comment on the purchase went unreturned. Before its sale, the site was See ATLANTIC, Page 10

Last year our local shelters were truly blessed by the generosity of all of our great residents, local businesses and friends. This year has been difficult for everyone across the country and in surrounding territories. This has resulted in our shelters taking in more furry friends than ever. Can we show them how much we care? Can we make this year our ultimate feel good year? By donating food, toys and supplies, you know without a doubt that these furry little ones are getting it all. These shelters talk about the great citizens and businesses of West Windsor and their huge hearts. I have never in my life experienced such caring and generosity, and I look forward to this time every year. I look forward to announcing this great event that culminates with Operation Bark Drop and the world famous Bark Brigade—where police officers and local residents including K-9 Cherno, K-9 Mackey and K-9 Hodge, become the members of the elite Elf Team Six to deliver the items to local shelters.

Support firefighters at annual breakfast There is no question that the volunteers in West Windsor make this town work. But I am particularly in awe of those residents and volunteers who risk their lives to save my children and my home. I am warmed by the feeling of tradition, family and dedication as I hear about the many generations of West Windsorians who have put their lives on hold to serve in our fire service. The West Windsor Volunteer Fire Company is approaching its 100th anniversary in 2021 and I can’t wait to celebrate with them. Please know that the funds raised at this year’s Breakfast with Santa event go towards making important repairs to the fire station and their equipment as well as providing for the volunteers throughout the year. The West Windsor Fire Company is a 501(c)(3) that relies heavily upon donations from us to function. As our township population grows, our fire companies need support, so let’s be there for them. Let’s begin our celebration and support at the Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 8, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Dutch Neck Firehouse, 153 South Mill Road, West Windsor. Join me to share the love of community I feel every year as my family and I attend this breakfast and get ready for the holidays. Bring a new unwrapped toy to support the Junior League of Greater Princeton’s Toy Drive for HomeFront. I am going to make sure I get my picture with Santa too! And while you are there, take a moment to thank our firefighters and fire police officers and find out how you can get involved. In addition to money, they need volunteers of any ability and for many different roles. Envision the feeling of pride and community that you will earn as a member of our esteemed fire service. Ayesha Hamilton Hamilton is a member of West Windsor Council.

Walking all across our town, visiting residents for the last few months, we were amazed at the hospitality we received and the interest on our views for the community. It was an honor to meet friends and neighbors, old and new. Our experiences from that solidifies even further why West Windsor is a very special community to be a part of. We would also like to thank our opponents, Shin-Yi Lin, Alison Miller and Yan Mei Wang for a well-run race. We all care about our town and want the best for it. We will do our best to represent and serve all the people of this town over the next four years. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.

around town Incumbents ousted in West Windsor council and school elections There were a number of upsets in the West Windsor municipal and West Windsor-Plainsboro School Board elections on Nov. 5, with several incumbents being defeated. In the nonpartisan West Windsor Council election, the Community Leaders For West Windsor slate—Sonia Gawas, Andrea Mandel and Michael Stevens—defeated the Progressive Vision For West Windsor Slate—council president Alison Miller, Yan Mei Wang and Shin Yi Lin. The victors will be filling the three four-year terms currently held by Miller, Ayesha Hamilton and Yingchao “YZ” Zhang. Both Yang and Hamilton opted not to run for reelection. Mandel (2,808) received the most votes, followed by Stevens (2,661), Gawas (2,540), Wang (2,425), Miller (2,273) and Lin (2,142). There were 8 write-in votes cast. Miller’s defeat was unexpected. She has been a veritable fixture on township council since West Windsor changed to the current mayor-council form of government in the early 1990s. She was elected to the governing body a total of four times and served from 1992-99; 2001-05, and since 2016. ***

In Plainsboro, both Democratic incumbents on township committee were running unopposed for three-year seats. Ed Yates received 1,982 votes and David Bander got 1,944. Yates has been a member of Plainsboro Township Committee since 1998 and has lived in town since 1986 in The Gentry with his wife, Blanche. Bander has served on committee since 2013. He and his wife, Heather Taylor, live in Princeton Collection. *** Meanwhile, Incumbents were defeated in both towns in the WW-P School Board election. In Plainsboro, current board member Yu “Taylor” Zhong (799) was defeated by newcomer Robin Zovich (1,153). Earlier this year Zhong was censured by the state School Ethics Commission for publicly releasing a student’s confidential information to a family member. The information subsequently became public. In West Windsor, slatemates Louisa Ho (2,975), an incumbent, and her running mate Graelynn McKeown (2,806) defeated incumbent Carol Herts (2,745) for two three-year terms on the board. A total of 34 write-in votes were cast. Herts is finishing her first three-year

term on the board. Her term expires Dec. 31. The numbers reported in this story are based on unofficial results issued by the Mercer and Middlesex county clerk’s offices as of Nov. 20. –Bill Sanservino

Amtrak train collides with disabled car A westbound Amtrak train travelleng at high speed smashed a disabled vehicle on the tracks north of the Princeton Junction train station on Dec. 19. No one was injured in the crash. The car, which was stuck on the tracks, was destroyed, and three other cars, including two police cars, were damaged in the collision. West Windsor police said that officers had been dispatched to the westbound train tracks under the Route 64 bridge at 11:57 p.m. in response to reports of a disabled vehicle on the tracks. Officers Alison Pollini and Christian Crawford arrived to find a 2012 Toyota Camry facing east on the track. Police said the car had been driven there by Amna S. Ahmed, 23, who was on scene and met with Officer Pollini. Ahmed’s father and sister had also

arrived on the scene in a white BMW to provide assistance, and were parked on an access road next to the tracks. West Windsor Police dispatch began the effort of stopping all train traffic because of the situation. As Officer Brandon Heath arrived and parked directly behind the BMW, Amtrak Train No. 639 began approaching at a high rate of speed on the westbound track. Officer Pollini alerted everyone to the impending collision. Officers Pollini, Crawford and Ahmed took cover behind a building along the tracks. Ahmed’s father and sister remained in their BMW. Officer Heath ran for cover behind a concrete bridge abutment. The train struck the Toyota Camry, sending heavy debris flying toward the area where officers had just been standing. The Toyota was destroyed and was sent careening into Officer Pollini’s unoccupied patrol car, which sustained extensive damage. Officer Heath’s car and the BMW sustained moderate damage from flying debris. A video posted to the West Windsor Police Facebook page shows the train approaching and hitting the Camry, which was only partially crossing the track. The impact sends the vehicle flying at an angle into Pollini’s car. Viewer

discretion advised. The train sustained heavy damage to its engine car as well as nu merous other trailing train cars. Although the debris field was extensive and sent with such incredible force, no one was struck, and there were no reported injuries. The debris cone extended past Washington Road. The train traffic disruption lasted approximately three hours. As of 7 a.m., all tracks are reportedly fully operational. Route 64 is the designation for the bridge that connects Washington Road with Princeton-Hightstown Road in Princeton Junction adjacent to the Ellsworth’s Shopping Center. Police say Ahmed was found to have been driving while intoxicated and was transported to West Windsor Police headquarters for processing. Ahmed was issued summonses for reckless driving and DWI and released pending a future appearance at the West Windsor Municipal Court.

West Windsor goes purple for pancreatic cancer awareness

West Windsor Township and the West Windsor Police Department are going purple for a purpose this month in observance of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. The department’s patrol vehicles are sporting purple ribbons to raise awareness of one of the deadliest forms of cancer. “Pancreatic cancer is the third lead-

ing cause of cancer death and is on pace to move up to second as early as next year,” said Mayor Hemant Marathe. “The five-year survival rate is just 9 percent, and pancreatic cancer is one of the few cancers in which overall deaths are climbing rather than declining. We are committed to joining with our community partners to raise awareness. This is personal since three of my friends were diagnosed with this disease in the past two years.” Marathe and Police Chief Robert Garofalo have teamed up with Kelly’s Heroes: Fighting Pancreatic Cancer, an East Windsor-based nonprofit, to raise attention. “Increased awareness is important for improving the future of pancreatic cancer,” said Garofalo. “West Windsor has a longstanding tradition of passing a proclamation in observance of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month—now we’re taking that message to the streets via our patrol cars.” Kelly’s Heroes is a member of the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition, which is composed of 80 nonprofit advocacy organizations from 30 countries. Its efforts culminate on Nov. 21—World Pancreatic Cancer Day—with outreach activities to educate people about the symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Early detection is critical to diagnosing the disease in its early stages, when treatment including surgery provides the best chance of survival. “We appreciate the exposure West Windsor is providing to the cause,” said See AROUND TOWN, Page 8

AROUND TOWN cont. from Page 7 Kerry McKean Kelly, co-founder of Kelly’s Heroes. The nonprofit is inspired by her husband Steve Kelly, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2015 at age 55. “If there’s one thing we could impart on people during November, it’s to know the symptoms of pancreatic cancer— including abdominal pain, jaundice, upper back pain, rapid weight loss and rapid-onset diabetes. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, listen to your body, see your medical provider and ask them about pancreatic cancer.” West Windsor is playing an important role in advancing the cause of pancreatic cancer. Erytech, an international biopharmaceutical company, recently opened a new manufacturing facility on Alexander Road, where it is producing an individualized potential new therapy which encapsulates drugs in red blood cells. Erytech is conducting clinical trials of this potential new pancreatic cancer treatment across the United States and parts of Europe.

WWAC holding exhibition and sale through Dec. 20 The West Windsor Arts Council is presenting the work of more than 100 artists in Off the Wall, an Affordable Art Sale. The juried exhibition is open to the public through Friday, Dec. 20 at the West Windsor Arts Center on Alexander Road. Artwork is being offered at prices from $50 to $400, and works can be taken off the wall at the time of purchase. “This is the ninth Off the Wall art show and it grows in quality and excitement each year,” said Aylin Green, executive director of the West Windsor Arts Center. “This was our biggest year yet in terms of the number of works submitted for consideration.” “The exhibition committee did a great job selecting the work” Green said. “I know it was a difficult thing to do, but ultimately, the variety of works, all priced under $400, is impressive. I’ve got my eye on two or three.” New this year, the West Windsor Arts Council is showcasing 13 works by participants of the visual arts program at Arc Mercer. The Arc Mercer has served people with special needs through empowering programs for 70 years. As part of the visual arts program, participants grow as artists through lessons by professional art instructors.

ATLANTIC continued from Page 1 the subject of an ongoing lawsuit by Howard Hughes against West Windsor, challenging its zoning. The developer wanted to build a mixed use property with up to 2,000 residential units, while the township insists it should remain all commercial. The impact of the sale on the lawsuit is unknown at this point. Atlantic already owns one development in the township—Princeton Terrace, a 138-unit apartment complex on Clarksville Road. The township’s affordable housing plan also calls for Atlantic to construct a 120-unit rental project (Princeton Terrace II) on a 13.75-acre parcel adjacent to Princeton Terrace. The developer has already shown it isn’t afraid to resort to the courts in an effort to get West Windsor to change its zoning. Marathe said Atlantic is part of a lawsuit against West Windsor challenging the zoning of a property on Southfield Road across the street from the Southfield Shopping Center. The developer wants to build a residential affordable housing development on the tract, a use not allowed on the site, Marathe said. Atlantic is no stranger to building mixed-use residential projects similar to the one that was proposed by Howard Hughes. It is the developer of the Ewing Town Center, which is currently under construction. That project calls for the construction of 1,184 residential rental units (including affordable housing), 94,750 square feet of retail and 14,375 square feet of offices. The likelihood of housing being con-

Clarksville Road bisects the property. structed on the Cyanamid site without a court challenge is very low. Marathe, members of council and the majority of the West Windsor community are unified in opposition to housing on the property. Marathe said that there are already some 2,000 residential units approved for construction throughout the township, and there’s no capacity for more. “How many residences can one town absorb?” Marathe said. The township’s affordable housing plan does not include any housing on the site, and the draft master plan currently

being reviewed by the planning board calls for the site to be commercial-only. The draft plan is the result of a year-long evaluation of the township’s zoning. The draft recommends the following uses: research, testing, analytical, and product development laboratories and pilot plant facilities; general, corporate, administrative, and professional offices; data processing and computer centers; limited manufacturing; warehousing; distribution centers; conference centers; hotels; business support uses; banks with or without drive-throughs; limited retail

establishments; health clubs, fitness centers, and indoor-outdoor recreation centers; veterinary offices; urgent care and out-patient surgical facilities; and gas stations with convenience stores. It also recommends that no more than 150,000 square feet of retail space be permitted on the tract, and that big-box retail and strip retail developments “are strongly discouraged in this district.” The master plan also calls for the construction of a road through the property from Quakerbridge Road at its intersection with Avalon Way to Route 1 at its intersection with Nassau Park Boulevard. Atlantic is the latest in a long list of owners of the site that date back to the 1950s. The history of the property is long and convoluted, involving a number of mergers, acquisitions and development proposals. The site, which is bisected by Clarksville Road, was first developed when American Cyanamid built its agricultural research facility on the property in 1950. Cyanamid continued there until 1994, when the company merged with American Home Products, a conglomerate that manufactured food, healthcare and household products. It was one of the largest companies in the United States at the time. In 2000, AHP sold the Cyanamid agricultural division was to BASF, a German chemical company, but AHP retained ownership of the tract. Two years later, AHP changed its name to Wyeth after founder Frank Wyeth. The company leased the property to BASF until 2004. That year, Wyeth sold the property to the Rouse Company, a developer of shopping malls and residential communities,

for $35 million. Only two months later, Rouse was acquired by General Growth Properties, a real estate trust that developed retail properties. In 2006, GGP proposed a mixed-use residential/commercial development that would have been anchored by an upscale shopping mall. At one point, GGP was in deep negotiations with Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom’s to anchor a proposed mall for the site, but both of those chains subsequently opted for locations at Quakerbridge Mall as part of that center’s 600,000-square-foot expansion. GGP’s plans never materialized, though, due to the Great Recession in 2008, and GGP unsuccessfully tried to sell the tract. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2009. A year later, GGP emerged from bankruptcy and The Howard Hughes Corporation was created as a separate spin-off of non-core GGP assets, which included the former American Cyanamid property. Currently on the tract are the original Cyanamid buildings amounting to 886,000 square feet, but current zoning would allow as much as 1.5 million square feet of research, office and manufacturing space. In 2017, HHC proposed a plan for the township to rezone the property to allow 1,976 units of housing—rental apartment, townhomes, single-family homes, and age-restricted units, and more than 1.3 million square feet of commercial retail and office space. The developer filed its lawsuit the following year after the township refused to

change the zoning. The litigation asked the court to designate the property as an area in need of redevelopment. Under state law, the designation would be a significant benefit to the developer. HHC claimed that the current zoning renders the land useless, because there is no current demand to develop it under the uses currently allowed. “The current (zoning) of the site is obsolete and has not been updated in any significant respect since it was adopted in or about 1980,” claimed the HHC lawsuit. “The township has recognized the need for a ‘special planning study’ to consider alternative zoning options for the site since as early as its re-examination of the master plan in 2000, but has, for nearly two decades now, forestalled any such study.” The township has countered that it was in the process of conducting its master plan review, including a study of the HHC site and how it relates to future development in the rest of the township. HHC also alleged that the site’s current commercial zoning is meant to create a “holding zone” to prohibit any development on the property. It also alleged that no one wants to develop the property under the current zoning, and the township is “depriving the plaintiff of all economically viable and productive uses of the site.” HHC also argued that the current zoning, which allows for some 7 million square feet of commercial space is not viable, because there is an “oversupply of research and development space in the state and Central New Jersey in particular.”

including school visits, lectures, wildlife walks, bird counts, (including the World Series of Birding), summer camps, bluebird box adoptions and art exhibitions. N.J. Audubon also maintained the site’s five plus miles of trails. With NJA gone, the township will continue to provide the preserve’s ranger services and the department of public works will take care of maintaining the center, plowing the drives and keeping all parts repaired and accessible. Under the new arrangement with NJA, the center will now be under split management. Plainsboro Recreation Department staff will operate the center from Nov. 1 to March 31, and NJA will take over from April 1 to Oct. 31., mostly with volunteers. Previously open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the center’s new hours will be Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Trail hours will remain the same: dawn to dusk, with hours flexing throughout the year. Currently its open from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. The animals, mammalian and reptilian, previously at the center have been relocated to new homes, and Ringo has gone to live with Fiske. Tara Miller takes over directing the sanctuary during the township’s winter term, between November and March. She was originally an NJA employee, and she now works for the township’s recreation department. Miller boasts one of the longest records of service with the preserve since its inception. When the trails first opened and the Environmental Education Center was in the initial construction phases, she joined original director Brian Vernacio in running the center from a barely heated trailer that was

located in what is now the parking lot. “It was exciting,” she recalls, “but awfully cold.” After leaving to go work for the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association for a while, Miller returned to the township as program director for the preserve. In that role, she coordinates a multitude of efforts. Living on a farm adjacent to the preserve, it became her job to open up when snow prevented other staff members from making it in. Miller grew up in the very rural lands near State College, Pennsylvania, the daughter of a traveling construction worker father and a mother who was the second female nurse ever to serve in the nearby maximum security prison. “I grew up loving the natural world and wanting to roam through the outdoors,” she says. After earning her bachelor’s degree in geology from the University of Pittsburgh, helping others discover the world outside seemed like the next logical step. As for her plans for the Plainsboro Preserve, “This will be our trial year,” says Miller. “We really want to find out what programs people want. But we are lining up several possible ideas, and we’ll just try things out and see what will serve people best.” *** The story of the Plainsboro Preserve began with a few hundred acres of land, a lake, and a failed business venture. In the mid-1960s, the McCormack Sand and Gravel Company set up a processing plant hoping to provide materials for cement companies and fill for the Meadowlands. It worked, for awhile. Its dredging of the swampy Devil’s Brook flood plain created the deep, 50-acre McCormack Lake, which glistens as centerpiece of the Preserve today. But by 1976, permitting problems, flooding and financial woes forced the plant to close. Many people deserve credit for the creation of the preserve, but none as much as Mayor Peter Cantu whose vision and masterful funding maneuvers brought the parcels together and the dream to fruition. According to sources, Cantu used to fish on the lake when the site was still under private ownership, and it became his passion to make sure the property was not developed. Over the years, the township the tract and rejected proposals that would have seen the site developed with expensive houses with spectacular lakeside views. It took Cantu many years to put together the deals that ultimately made the preserve a reality. “Compiling the preserve land demanded a multitude of vehicles,” Cantu said. After years of negotiations with the land’s owners—Walker Gordon Laboratory Company and Turkey Island Corporation, Plainsboro Township raised the $2.9 million purchase price and bought the initial 530-acre tract surrounding the lake. Cantu further lobbied Middlesex County officials, convincing them to provide funding via its Open Space Trust Fund. This added another 401 acres, and another 126 acres of the adjacent Perrine Tract were later bundled in.

“The creation of this over 1,000-acre facility and its education center are one of the things I truly look back on with great pride,” Cantu said. In 2001, ground was broken for the Environmental Education Center. And, though painfully slow in progressing, the 6,500 square-foot facility was paid for entirely through fundraisers and private donations. In May, 2015, The center was renamed The Rush Holt Environmental Education Center, in thanks for the thencongressman’s continued support and his help in raising federal Green Acres funds for the Preserve. The dénouement to Plainsboro’s Preserve engineering drama came with the NJA collaboration. Wholly separate from the National Audubon Society, NJA was founded in 1897, and maintains stewardship of 34 sanctuaries throughout the state. The organization has experience in both protecting the Garden State’s wildlife and its habitats and fostering a conservation ethic among its residents. More importantly, it attracts passionate, highly creative experts, who have understood and led Plainsboro Preserve’s vision. The seemingly endless assortment of programs is the result of teamwork between Audubon sanctuary directors Vernachio, Grace and Fiske, joined by Miller. According to statistics, more than 400,000 visitors have enjoyed preserve during its 16-year history.

LANTERNFLIES cont. from Page 1 Wolfe, an official from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. He calls the spotted lanternfly, which is gray and red with wings bespeckled with black dots, “an excellent hitchhiker on any kind of vehicle or transportation.” That’s exactly how it entered the United States from overseas. Apples, almonds, grapes, hops and a wide array of trees, such as oak and maple, are among the types of vegetation that may be in jeopardy from the spotted lanternfly, which gather in masses on its host of choice. It is as much as a threat to Christmas trees as it is to any other of the 70 crops on its hitlist, Wolfe said. However, he said the spotted lanternfly has not yet been found on a tree grown in New Jersey. The first confirmation of a spotted lanternfly sighting in Mercer County was in July of 2018, according to a press release from the NJDA. Last year, there were media reports that a woman in Warren County, which is also currently under quarantine, found spotted lanternflies throughout her home after they hatched from two egg masses on the bark of her Christmas tree. It has not been reported as to where she had gotten the tree from. The egg masses are typically laid on smooth surfaces. The spotted lanternflies have been found mostly along the counties bordering the Delaware River, though some small populations have been confirmed in other counties, Wolfe said. War-

Checklist for Spotted Lanternfly Quarantine Areas Before you move outdoor items from the quarantine area, check for spotted lanterﬂy egg masses, adults and nymphs. Make sure all items are pest free before you move them. Help keep this pest from spreading.

CHECK BEFORE YOU MOVE Recreational or camping Items: Backpacks, basketball backboards, bicycles, boats, boat trailers, campers, ice chests, motorcycles, motor homes, recreational vehicles, snowmobiles, tarps, tents. Outdoor household items: Barrels, cardboard or wooden boxes, outdoor poles, plant containers, ﬁrewood, propane or oil tanks, trash cans, refrigerators, freezers, storage sheds, shutters, storm/screen doors and windows, window awnings, outdoor furniture. Building materials: Bricks, cinder blocks, cement mixing tubs, lumber, rooﬁng materials, tools and toolboxes, workbenches, skidsters, forklifts, pipes. Yard and garden Items: Dog houses, rabbit sheds, chicken coops, etc, barbecue grills, carts, cold frames, fencing, garden tillers, yard decorations, garden tools, backhoes, lawnmowers, signs and posts, storage sheds, tractors and trailers, trees, shrubs and plants. Children’s playthings: Play houses, kiddie pools, bicycles, scooters, sandboxes.

ren, Hunterdon, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Salem and Somerset counties are the other areas that are currently under quarantine. The spotted lanternfly was originally seen in Berks County, Pennsylvania in 2014, according to the NJ Department of Agriculture. A map, which was last updated on Sept. 30, released by the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program shows that the bug has also

been reported in New York, Delaware, Maryland, Virgina, Connecticut and Massachusetts. These destructive insects attack trees by sucking out its sap through their sharp mouths, piercing through the bark. Sap seeps out of the areas they feed on, which attracts harmful insects such as ants, bees, hornets and wasps. They leave behind a honeydew excrement that eventually becomes moldy and kills the crops they attack.

Although Wolfe said there has not yet been any reported crop damage in New Jersey, he believes “it is important that we remain vigilant in attempting to eliminate this pest,” to prevent that from occurring. State officials are urging residents in the quarantined areas to check their vehicles for any signs of the species before traveling abroad to prevent the spread of this insect. “The secretary of agriculture may temporarily designate any non-quarantined area in New Jersey as a quarantined area, if the secretary has reason to believe that the Spotted Lanternfly is present based on positive confirmation of any life stage of this insect by the Department, or by agents of the USDA APHIS,” states the New Jersey Spotted Lanternfly Quarantine Rule in the N.J. Register. A checklist is available online listing for items that should be examined thoroughly for spotted lanternfly eggs. The checklist states, “Before you move outdoor items from the quarantine area, check for spotted lanternfly egg masses, adults and nymphs. Make sure all items are pest free before you move them. Help keep this pest from spreading.” After a spotted lanternfly hatches, it is first characterized as a black nymph with white spots before it transitions to being red with white spots before adulthood. The NJDA in their reporting guidelines classifies adult spotted lanternflies as one inch long and a half inch wide. “The hind wings have contrasting

The legs and head are black; the abdomen is yellow with broad black bands. Immature stages are black with white spots, and develop red patches as they grow.” The checklist suggests examining recreational/camping items such as bicycles and campers, outdoor household items such as firewood and trash cans, building materials such as bricks and cinder blocks, yard and garden items such as barbecue grills and lawnmowers, and children’s playthings such as bicycles and scooters. The state is asking all residents who spot an egg mass to destroy them by scraping them off and placing them in a double bag and throwing them away. They also can be destroyed by placing them in bleach, alcohol or hand sanitizer, according to the NJDA. Wolfe said that is is important for New Jersey businesses and individuals that transport items across state lines to Pennsylvania and New York to have permits in case the location they are delivering to asks about the spotted lanternfly. “The permit shows that the business

or individual understands the necessary precautions in preventing the spread of the spotted lanternfly,” he said. Businesses and individuals “are also encouraged to allow state and federal survey and treatment personnel to conduct their activities on their properties.” Information for permit exams and permit trainings for businesses are available online, as well as a list of New Jersey businesses that have been trained on standards listed in the quarantine order. Wolfe said residents are also encouraged to allow state and federal survey and treatment personnel to conduct their activities on their properties. The USDA can enter areas within the quarantined counties or with any Notice of Infestation-Treatment Order to investigate signs of life for the spotted lanternflies and eradicate them if needed. But residents are the first line of defense against the pest. Wolfe said anyone who sees a spotted lanternfly should first kill it if possible, and then report the exact location by emailing SLFplantindustry@ag.nj.gov or calling (833) 223-2840.

Celebrating a half century of a cappella performances In their 50th year, Garden Statesmen to host annual holiday show Dec. 7 By Rob Heyman

Singing in the shower may not be a surefire predictor of a successful vocal career, but it could be enough to open a door to one busy vocal group in the area. One thing that has continued to unite members of the Princeton Garden Statesmen a cappella group throughout its 50-year history is their simple love of singing, and there’s always an open spot for newcomers with the same passion and ability to carry a tune. The Statesmen have been entertaining music lovers in central New Jersey with their brand of four-part barbershop

harmony since 1969. The chorus consists of about 20 active members who stay busy performing at various venues and events throughout the year, including holiday and dinner shows as well as business and community events. On a particularly cold night in November, the group was polishing its vocals at a local school for an upcoming holiday show to be held Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Nottingham Ballroom in Hamilton. Coaching the men that night was Katie Blackwood, an accomplished vocal coach and singer, who helps direct the Statesmen with Jack Pinto, himself an internationally recognized teacher and performer. Both Blackwood and Pinto are Hamilton residents. As a coach, Blackwood is tough, with an ear that can pinpoint the slightest deviation in vocal alignment. Exactitude

is necessary, she said, because barbershop style is not easy to perfect. “Barbershop is technical,” she explained. “It’s a little different than some other genres of music that we sing. You have to stack four parts on every word and on every chord, all at the same time, and make sure it rings. It’s more technical than anything I’ve ever sung.” “It’s a difficult thing,” vocalist Dick Nurse said. “It’s more difficult than other types of music. It’s a challenge to come every week. I sang doo-wop. That’s easy compared to this.” The portrait of barbershop singing has typically featured four men singing together, each with his own vocal role: lead, tenor, baritone or bass. The lead sings the melody, the tenor sings harmony above the lead, the bass sings the lowest root notes, and the baritone sings the in-between notes that complete the chords. Some barbershop groups, like the Statesmen, have more than four members and as a chorus can include multiple leads and several baritones and basses. This choral structure creates a more dynamic performance but nailing down the harmony can be tricky. It’s a challenge members of the Statesmen say they embrace. “It’s the most fun thing,” said Hugh Devine, a 47-year member from Plains-

boro. “When it sounds good, it’s great.” “I don’t play an instrument, but harmonizing is like making music with your voice. It’s rewarding, and it’s pleasant,” said Joe Ciccione, an 18-year member. Despite their vocal training and years of involvement with the chorus, longtime members admit they are still learning new ways to strengthen their vocals. “I think these guys are forever-students,” Blackwood said. “I always say, if you’re not learning something in this craft, then go bowling.” Barbershop-style singing has a long history in America dating back to the 1800s, if not earlier. Modern arrangers have sought to adapt songs from other genres, like pop, to barbershop. The Statesmen themselves have performed music by the Beatles as well as the Beach Boys and The Everly Brothers, among others. “Music of the ’20s, ’30s, and ’40s really barbershop well,” Blackwood said. “A lot of music can barbershop, it just depends on what it is.” While the goal is to make music that people will enjoy, at the end of the day it’s the friendships that keep members come back week after week to see each other. “I’ve heard it summed up like this: People come for the music, but stay for the camaraderie,” said Tom Befi, a member from West Windsor.

Plainsboro resident Hugh Devine behind the microphone performing with the Princeton Garden Statesmen. “It’s about guys getting together and singing, and not just to talk,” said Nurse, who lives in Franklin Park. “Most of the things we do together—[instead of] sitting around talking and arguing about something—we’re singing. We’re having a good time.” Blackwood’s mother and father were both in barbershop, and they competed internationally. “For me, it’s always been about family and support,” he said. “I remember growing up, some of those people in the chorus with my parents

were the people at my house when we needed help. They were the ones taking me to cheerleading or to my music lessons.” While barbershop singing has been seen as strictly a male pastime, women’s organizations are available, including the Sweet Adelines International. In 2018, the Barbershop Harmony Society, which has over 800 chapters around the world, opened its ranks to women. “It’s an incredible support system, especially in the women’s organization and especially for the women who have had breast cancer,” said Blackwood, who has worked with the Sweet Adelines for more than 20 years. “It’s just been a great community to pull in people and to help out each other.” The Statesmen have won a number of accolades, including being named Atlantic Division Intermediate Chorus Champions. In 2015, they were named Northern Division Mid-Atlantic Chorus Champions. Anyone interested in joining the Statesmen can attend one of its weekly rehearsals, which are held Tuesdays from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., usually at Community Middle School in Plainsboro. Those interested should first call the Statesmen at (888) 636-4449 to confirm the rehearsal location. Blackwood said the ability to read music is not necessary to join—only the ability to carry a tune. “Anyone who likes to sing and who can carry a tune, we teach them how to do it,” she said.

Capital Health First in the Region to Offer ROBOTIC-ASSISTED WHIPPLE PROCEDURE to Treat Pancreatic Cancer Capital Health recently became the only hospital in Central New Jersey and the Greater Philadelphia region to offer robotic-assisted Whipple procedures to treat pancreatic cancer. DR. CATALDO DORIA, medical director of the Capital Health Cancer Center and hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeon who specializes in treating benign conditions and cancers related to the liver, pancreas, and bile duct, recently performed this innovative surgery at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell. “Dr. Doria is internationally known for his work in developing cutting-edge cancer treatment,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “Since joining us last year, he has worked tirelessly to advance our Cancer Center. Becoming the only hospital in our region to offer a robotic-assisted Whipple is a major step forward for the Center, but it also shows our community that we are fully committed to innovation in health care.” Pancreatic cancer is among the most challenging gastrointestinal disorders to diagnose and treat, and for some patients, a Whipple procedure (technically known as a pancreaticoduodenectomy) is performed to surgically remove the affected part of the pancreas and then reconnect the healthy part of the organ to nearby digestive organs in order to complete the surgery. Until recently, this complex, technically demanding procedure was regularly being performed only as open surgery at Capital Health. “Performing an open Whipple procedure to treat pancreatic cancer, while effective, meant that the patient could expect a large incision and a long recovery time,”

said Dr. Doria. “Now, using the da Vinci Surgery System, we can aggressively treat appropriate surgical candidates with minimally invasive techniques that are proven to significantly reduce recovery time while achieving results that are comparable to traditional open surgery.” A specially trained surgeon like Dr. Doria uses the da Vinci Surgery System to insert miniaturized instruments and a high-definition 3-D camera through small incisions (roughly the size of a dime). Working at the da Vinci console, Dr. Doria’s hand movements are translated into precise actions that allow for a minimally invasive approach to the Whipple procedure that requires less anesthesia, reduces recovery time and puts patients at less risk for complications. Dr. Doria also uses the da Vinci Surgery System to remove cancer in the liver and bile duct. Additionally, in his role as medical director of the Cancer Center, Dr. Doria is assembling a team of surgeons from multiple disciplines who are trained in robotic techniques in order to make robotic-assisted surgery an option for additional cancer sites.

Attracting highly skilled surgeons like Dr. Lotto to Capital Health is great news for our patients, and for the community as a whole it demonstrates our commitment to offering advanced care that’s close to home.” Dr. Lotto completed her fellowship training in vascular and endovascular surgery at Harvard (Brigham and

Women’s Hospital) in Boston, MA and in advanced aortic endovascular surgery at L’Hôpital Marie Lannelongue in Paris, France. In addition to her clinical experience, Dr. Lotto has published and presented research on vascular surgery and other topics in medical journals and at regional and national conferences.

Simple, Painless Hemorrhoid Treatment Without Surgery Hemorrhoids are a common cause of discomfort, affecting 75 percent of people within their lifetime. They can also be uncomfortable to talk about, and many people seek the temporary relief provided by ointments and creams in the hope their hemorrhoids will simply go away so they can avoid the prospect of painful surgery. Now, Capital Health offers patients another option: hemorrhoid banding with the CRH O’Regan System. “The CRH O’Regan System is a non-surgical treatment option for hemorrhoids that is fast, painless, and proven to be effective, with minimal risk of complications” said DR. MICHAEL KALINA, board certified general surgeon at Capital Health Surgical Group. “With no preparation or sedation required, the procedure can be performed in as little as 60 seconds. Patients can drive themselves to and from the appointment and immediately return to their daily lives.” Banding is the most common non-surgical hemorrhoid removal treatment in use today. A rubber band is placed

50%

of the population will experience symptomatic hemorrhoids by the age of 50

around the base of the symptomatic hemorrhoid to stop blood flow to the tissue, which then dries up and falls off on its own in a week or two (usually during a bowel movement). Where conventional banding equipment uses metal-toothed forceps to grasp the hemorrhoid, the CRH O’Regan System uses gentle suction to reduce the risk of pain and bleeding. Since Capital Health introduced the CRH O’Regan System in 2018, Dr. Kalina has performed the procedure nearly 300 times. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Kalina, call 609.537.6000 or visit capitalhealth.org/hemorrhoids for more information. Health Headlines by Capital Health | THE NEWS21

Advanced Treatment for Depression Without Medication Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Capital Health – Behavioral Health Specialists For people struggling with major depression, Capital Health – Behavioral Health Specialists offers NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (TMS), currently the only device approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating this condition. Major depression is one of the most common behavioral health challenges in the United States and can prevent those affected by it from enjoying simple pleasures and performing everyday activities. Neurotransmitters, produced by neurons in the brain, enable communication between the brain regions that control mood, but for people with depression, neurotransmitters become depleted or don’t function properly, in effect shorting out the mood circuit. “Medication can be used to increase neurotransmitter production, but it doesn’t work for everyone and can come with a number of side effects, such as headaches, changes in appetite, sedation, and sexual dysfunction,” said DR. CHRISTI WESTON, medical director of Capital Health – Behavioral Health Specialists. “TMS therapy uses targeted electromagnetic stimulation to increase neurotransmitter production, with the added benefit of activating deeper brain regions outside the treated area that also affect mood, all without the potential side effects brought on by antidepressants.” TMS treatment begins with an initial run-through that determines the region of the brain to be targeted and the

pulse strength that is required to effectively deliver treatment via a non-invasive coil that rests against the head. TMS sessions are just 18-30 minutes long, during which patients may feel a sensation like tapping on the scalp. To complete a full round of treatment, patients visit the office five days a week for 4 to 6 weeks. There is no recovery time needed after TMS therapy, so patients can return to normal activity immediately after each treatment. NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy is part of the comprehensive services offered by Capital Health – Behavioral Health Specialists to treat depression. If you think you or a loved one are experiencing depression, consult with your physician to learn what your next steps should be. Dr. Weston and her team work closely with referring providers to develop personalized treatment plans and will coordinate care with referring behavioral health practices where Neurostar is not available. Capital Health is one of only two health care providers in Mercer County offering NeuroStar TMS. Consults, and treatments take place at the Capital Health – Behavioral Health Specialists office, located in Hamilton, NJ.

From diagnosis through treatment, Dr. Godshalk Ruggles works closely with referring physicians such as gastroenterologists and primary care providers as well as the integrated team of medical, surgical, radiation, and related cancer specialists at Capital Health Cancer Center to develop and deliver a personalized plan of care. “Capital Health’s reputation as a regional leader in health care is impressive, particularly in the area of cancer care,” said Dr. Godshalk Ruggles. “I’m excited to contribute to the growth of the Cancer Center and the organization as a whole, but I especially look forward to making a positive difference with our patients who are living with conditions that prevent them from experiencing their fullest lives.” To make an appointment, call 609.537.6000 or visit www.capitalsurgical.org for more information.

Music

Boheme Opera of New Jersey highlights its connection to Trenton— where it was founded over 31 years

ago—with a presentation of “Amahl and the Night Visitors” at Immaculate Conception Church in Trenton’s Chambersburg section on Saturday, Dec. 7, 6 p.m. Gian Carlo Menotti’s 1951 Christmas opera of a disabled boy’s encounter with the Three Magi is noted for being the first opera created especially for national television broadcast.

The Westminster Community Orchestra under the direction of Ruth Ochs presents its annual “Holiday Singalong” on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 7:30 p.m. The program includes a variety of songs, carols, and styles and features a “fun” sing through of Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” As always, the admission is a free-will donation of non-perishable food that will be sent to area food pantries. The event occurs at the Robert L. Annis Playhouse, Westminster Choir College, 101 Walnut Lane, Princeton. One of Westminster Choir College’s signature and area unique events, “An Evening of Readings and Carols” returns to the Princeton University Chapel for three performances: Friday, Dec. 13, 8 p.m., and Saturday, Dec. 14, 3 and 8 p.m. The internationally respected Westminster Chapel Choir, Concert Bell Choir, and Symphonic Choir will join forces and be guided by the artistry of accomplished faculty members and conductors James Jordan, Joe Miller, Kathleen Ebling Shaw, and Tom T.

Theater

McCarter Theater’s traditional “A Christmas Carol” gets center stage treatment in Princeton from Dec. 10 through 29. Based on Charles Dickens’s 1843 ghostly Christmas tale, McCarter’s production takes the author’s introduction statement to heart: “I have endeavored in this ghostly little book, to raise the ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humor with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.” That idea, Dickens explained elsewhere, was to create “a sledgehammer blow” against child labor laws and economic disparities. But the McCarter’s production is more an awakening of the heart, thanks to director Adam Immerwahr’s affecting approach and love of stage magic. $25 to $80. McCarter Theater, 91 University Place, Princeton. (609) 2582787 or mccarter.org.

Getting ready

Revolutionary War history comes alive in the area as the region remembers the decisive Battles of Trenton and Princeton. And for those wishing to join the fray, here’s a handy guide to get you enlisted: The Old Barracks Museum in Trenton’s British Occupation Day, Dec. 7, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., once again sets the stage for the Battle of Trenton with the arrival of the 17th Regiment of Infantry—a Colonial era British troop. The event invites 21st century Ameri-

cans to step back into the daily life of a Colonial-era British soldier. Activities include daily troop drills, musket demonstrations, outdoor camp cooking, and winter uniform preparation and repairs. The regiment was established in 2002 to bring the experiences of the common British soldiers alive—and in fighting condition. $8 to $10. 101 Barrack Street, Trenton. (609) 396-1776 or barracks. org. As always, the reenactment of George Washington’s Christmas Day crossing of the Delaware River to take Trenton—at the very location the major historical event occurred—is one of the area’s big holiday attractions. And there

are two opportunities to catch this oneof-a-kind area event. The first is the dress rehearsal crossing on Sunday, Dec. 8. A festive fundraiser, the occasion includes opportunities to visit historic buildings and meet re-enactors. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the crossing at 1 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for children 5 to 11, and free for children under five. Then there is the big—and free— Christmas Day crossing, now celebrating its 67th year. While the main event is at 1 p.m., come early to march with the troops, tour buildings, and join fellow countrymen and visitors waiting for the cannon shot that signals the launching of the boats. An early arrival also helps secure a parking place or a good viewing spot. Washington Crossing Historic Park, Routes 32 and 532, Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. (215) 493-4076 or ushistory.org/washingtoncrossing/index.htm. Patriots Week returns to downtown Trenton on Thursday, Dec. 26, with the biggest Revolutionary War re-enactment event anywhere. Continuing through Dec. 31, the multi-day event includes tours of historic spots, camp reenactments, and the two-part Battle of Trenton, puppet theater performances, a Colonial-era ball, and more. While many events take place at or near the Old Barracks, one of the area’s historical treasures, the two recreated battles—featuring re-enactors with era uniforms and weaponry—take place on the actual sites of the original battles. Most events are free. patriotsweek.com.

Running is a way of life for High School North’s Cordasco By Justin Feil Everything changed for Callia Cordasco when she joined the indoor track and field team at High School North. Cordasco was a freshman coming off playing on the freshman field hockey team when she signed up for indoor track. She had participated in track in middle school, but hadn’t been a part of anything like what she found with the high school program. Practices started with inspirational stories from coaches Brian Gould and Matt Warren. She said she was excited hearing about the accomplishments from the past. “I was amazing that our program had done that much and I had the opportunity to be a part of it,” Cordasco said. “I didn’t want to let my teammates and my coaches down knowing that’s what they could do with any average athlete.” Cordasco never went back to field hockey or any other sport. She made the switch to year-round running right then and there. “Once I started winter track it was like, ‘this is 100 percent for me,’” she said. “The program’s amazing. I love all my teammates. It was the perfect place for me.” Cordasco’s affinity for running has

highest finish ever, thanks to edging High School South and Princeton High. At the Central Jersey Group III championships, North’s improvements were even more remarkable. They finished just a point behind Mercer County champion Allentown to take third place, their best finish at sectionals ever, and their times were eye-opening. The Knights averaged 20:29 in their first five finishers—Cordasco, Salini Iyer, Etsub Gezahagne, Laura Liao and Rhythm Satav. Manya Sood and Marie Fanta rounded out their top seven in 40th and 41st. Last year, Cordasco was their top finisher at sectionals in 20:52. “There’s been tremendous growth,” said Gould, the head coach of the boys cross country team who coaches North distance runners year-round. “Statistically it looks like overachieving. It surprised me finishing second in the county, giving Allentown a really, really good run and just falling short of second place at sectionals. But knowing the personality of the girls and seeing them every day at practice, it’s not a surprise in the moment to see how successful they are because I’ve seen the journey and the entire process.” Cordasco dropped almost two minutes from a year ago at sectionals.

ran 18:57 to finish second overall, two seconds behind Colts Neck’s Lilly Shapiro. They were neck and neck coming into the final 200 meters. “I was pretty disappointed at the end,” Cordasco said. “Lilly Shapiro is an amazing athlete and honestly at sectionals we were just trying to get our team to groups and give our team enough confidence going into groups with Meet of Champs in mind, not just going to groups with the mindset that we made it here. We want to do something at groups.” The top two teams in Group III automatically qualify for the Meet of Champions plus the next eight fastest teams across all groups. Since the summer, the Knights have been aiming to make the MOC. To get there has taken a new approach. “Something that’s been really important to us is switching our mindsets from a time goal or place goal to more of an effort goal,” Cordasco explained. “Right now we’re looking at every race as an opportunity to leave it all on the course. We want to go out there and run our hearts out instead of thinking about a time and that being our motivation.” Cordasco also had to embrace being a cross country runner. She has had plenty of success on the track, but after missing her sophomore year of cross country and even through a solid junior year of cross country, she kept thinking she was using the fall to prepare for track. Her thinking started to change during summer camp when North alumna Simone Counts talked to the team about letting go in races.

“At that moment, I still was telling myself I wasn’t a cross country runner, and then Coach Gould started to talk to us more about effort goals and not time goals,” Cordasco said. “I finally let go at Shore Coaches and me and Salini just took off in the front, and didn’t think about anyone else running, and we did our own thing. I think that’s when I realized what she meant by let go,” she said. Cordasco and the Knights have been on a record-setting tear since then. Cordasco set the fastest 4k time in school history this year at the Manhattan High School Invitational and is only 21 seconds off the fastest 5k time in school history. “In middle school, I wasn’t thinking about goals I wanted or how high I wanted to finish or where I wanted my middle school team to be,” Cordasco said. “It’s cool to look at going from not having a perspective on how I want my team to be in middle school to now wanting my team to be ranked in the state and place high at NXR.” Nike Cross Northeast Regionals were scheduled for Nov. 30 in Wappinger Falls, N.Y. Cordasco was excited to be a part of the first full North girls team at regionals. Cordasco will continue to compete next year for her dream school, American University. She looks forward to returning to North to tell the story of her transformation and emergence into one of the school’s best ever. “Now I can’t go to bed without running,” Cordasco said. “It’s something I need to survive at this point.”

Elias a force in the middle for South field hockey By Justin Feil Phoebe Elias was in sixth grade when she found a new passion. Her class was assigned to bring in a dessert for a Halloween party, and Elias wanted to make chocolate cupcakes. “I didn’t want to use the box mix,” Elias said. “I thought that was cheating. I went above and beyond and looked for other recipes from scratch. I made them look like pumpkins. My friends thought they tasted great.” Elias continues to cook as a hobby six years later while juggling being a leader for the West Windsor-Plainsboro High South field hockey team, director of props for the school musical, a peer leader for freshmen, president of the Princeton Area Juniorettes, and working part-time as a server at Cranbury Pizza. “I still have some free time,” said the High School South senior. After concluding her field hockey season, Elias has filled some of her potential free time by picking up more work shifts. Over the summer, her teammates visited her at Cranbury Pizza in a show of support. “I think something that will definitely stand out is the relationships that we have with each other,” Elias said. “They are very uplifting and encouraging. Even though not everyone is friends with everyone, we’re a close-knit team,

which she played varsity. Elias was central defender for WW-P South team that finished 5-8-3. “She held together the defense in the middle of the field by communicating and backing up our midfield and getting back to control play on the top part of the circle,” said Tracy Klugerman, who moved up from assistant coach to head coach this year. “She was a solid player in the middle, a solid force on defense who contributed a lot on both ends of the field.” Elias didn’t put up a lot of offensive statistics. That honor went to Samantha Forrest, who led the team with 10 goals and an assist. Elias has been defensive minded from the outset when she picked up the sport in middle school. “My mom played in high school,” Elias said. She encouraged my older sister to try it and me. I really love this sport. No matter if you’re good or bad, you end up touching the ball in the game. It’s instant gratification.” Elias rose quickly into a prominent role. She jumped from the freshman team to starting on defense as a sophomore, to being entrusted at sweeper last year as the last line of defense. She returned this year to the line ahead of the sweeper so she could handle the ball more. “She got hurt for a little part of the season,” Klugerman said. “She came from

a hand injury at the end of last season, and reinjured it again and missed about a week and a half. It’s noticed when she’s not on the field. When we got her back, it was definitely a positive.” Elias was one of nine seniors that set the tone for the Pirates along with Saanya Bhargava, Forrest, Suravi Kumar, Siddhi Shah, Akanksha Pandey, Anisha Chakraborty, Priyanka Iyer and Cynthia Hansen. “Phoebe is one our senior leaders,” Klugerman said. “She’s one of those players that always has a great attitude, is always team spirited, and she wants to do well for the team and do whatever she can for the team. She’s well liked and well respected by all her other teammates and coaches. She’s fun loving and has a great attitude.” “Our team really prides itself on being there extra early and making sure all our equipment is out and ready,” Elias said. “We like to enforce that to the younger girls—come and do your best all the time. We want to set a good example.” The Pirates posted their most wins in a season since 2015. Only four of their losses were by more than two goals. “I thought we had a really good season,” Klugerman said. “We matched up well with every team we played. The score might not always have shown that, but we held some very tough teams to some low scores. We made a lot of

strides this year.” The Pirates are looking to build on this year’s success. They have a strong junior class returning and can take a page from this year’s leaders. After finishing her playing career, Elias is on to her next pursuit, and she is a leader in seemingly every activity that she does. She was director of props for the musical, “Bring It On,” last year, which included designing and creating a 16-foot by 4-foot banner. She will ser ve again as director of props for this year’s production of “Guys and Dolls.” It’s a fun activity that keeps her connected to friends and displays her responsibility. “Sophomore year, I started working backstage with the musical,” Elias said, explaining that as the director of props, she is responsible for budgeting for them and creating them. I am trusted with the director’s Amazon account to order things we need.” Elias is also involved in a few of the school’s clubs, and said she likes nothing more than the WW-P South peer leader program. “We run freshmen groups to orient them to the first year of high school and make sure they’re well adjusted and have discussions with them,” Elias said. “We’re like a second branch of the guidance department. We’re like their outreach.” “It was a select group of students so it makes you feel special. You get chosen as a sophomore. There’s a whole appli-

cation process. They put you in an ‘audition’ and see how you get along and communicate with others, then pick from there. I’ve been in it for three years.” Elias also shows responsibility outside of school. This year, she has worked her way up to president of the Princeton Area Juniorettes, which is the younger version of the Princeton Area Junior Women’s Club. “We get together once a month,” she said. “It’s a club for middle and high school girls. We do various charity events. We set up the Wish Tree at MarketFair. We do gift-wrapping, we help at the flea market, and we play Bingo at a local senior citizen center. We do things that vary year to year.” Elias used to play lacrosse for South, but took the job worked at Cranbury Pizza last spring instead. She intends to stay around the food and beverage industry, but in a different capacity after college. “I’m going into hospitality,” Elias said. “Not as much cooking, but as learning about management. I’m not sure what to expect 100 percent.” Elias started to think about her future in the food and beverage industry after her sixth grade food science experiment. That memory serves as the subject of her college essay and sparked a passion that remains. Elias continues to bake in her free time, which isn’t often given everything that she has going on during her final year at WW-P South. “One thing I like more than cooking,” Elias said, “is eating what I cook.”

Travel Talk with Caryn and Aron Impressions of impressionism

As I discussed last month, travel is a fabulous way to celebrate a milestone occasion or any special day. After my husband and I had the good fortune to experience Safaris in Africa to celebrate our Silver anniversary, I spent the following week celebrating my birthday with a dear friend in France! I have mentioned before that river cruising is a great way to explore Europe. My previous posts have talked about the Danube and Rhine rivers which I have traveled on numerous times. This trip, I explored France through a river cruise on the Seine traveling from Paris to Normandy. The allure of this cruise was following in the footsteps of Monet, Van Gogh and other impressionist painters, enjoying regional wines, Calvados (Apple Brandy) and local cuisine, learning the varied history of the region from the Northman to Royalty to the battles of WWII, plus enjoying the culture and style of Paris. This cruise exemplifies the benefits of river cruising – being

able to enjoy local towns, culture, food and activities. There is enough variety to satisfy everyone’s tastes and when traveling on your own or in a group you can decide on the type of excursion that matches your travel style. In May 2021 my husband and I will be exploring the Provence region in France via river cruise. We would love to have friends As a trainee at American Repertory Ballet/Princeton Ballet – new and old join us on the As a traineedancing at American Ballet/Princeton BalletAs a dancer, I School, is Repertory my passion and my art.
