Princeton Public Schools (PPS) look forward to starting the 2016-17 school year in just three weeks with more than 40 new staff members, including three new positions, and a number of new programs and approaches.

Nearly all the new staff members are filling positions of retirees or staff taking temporary leaves. The new positions will include an additional kindergarten teacher at Community Park, where enrollment is rising, an additional guidance counselor at Princeton High School, and — still to be hired — “an innovation and instructional technology specialist to support our teachers district-wide in the use of new technologies and learning approaches,” according to Superintendent Steve Cochrane.

With a program review scheduled for Health and Physical Education, changes in the Athletic Program will include a clearly articulated philosophy regarding athletic participation, a new scheduling system, a new athletic webpage, online forms, a 6-12 program approach, integration of athletics with physical education, development of a coaching academy, development of an athletics handbook, and recommendations for future improvements in facilities.

Also implemented this year will be option 2 for physical education (PE), which allows JV and Varsity athletes in their junior and senior years the possibility of using their sports practices after school to fulfill their PE requirement.

Mr. Cochrane emphasized the district’s “focus on the integration of social emotional learning as well as a developmentally sound approach to physical literacy that will help to mesh PE with athletics.”

As a result of last year’s program review in social studies, this year’s program will include a pilot trial of a new textbook and resources in grades 3-5, new culturally diverse materials throughout the grade levels, an increased focus on Holocaust education, a movement away from AP social studies courses at the high school to a richer, more rigorous “advanced topics” model, and the development of new high school electives.

Citing the themes of differentiation and diversity throughout the district, Mr. Cochrane stated that all the staff will be “sharing existing strategies and exploring Continued on Page 10

Witherspoon-Jackson Prepares for Future No neighborhood in historic, traditionsteeped Princeton is changing more rapidly than Witherspoon-Jackson (W-J), and amidst last week’s Joint Effort Safe Streets Summer Program celebrating W-J, the black community and its history, a group of local leaders and developers worked toward a “vision of and for the Witherspoon-Jackson Community,” in a Saturday morning panel discussion at the Hank Pannell Center on Clay Street.

Discussion moderator John Bailey described the W-J neighborhood, which last April was officially designated as Princeton’s 20th Historical District, extending from Paul Robeson Place to Birch Avenue, as “one of the most valuable pieces of property in the town.” Much of the discussion focused on problems of affordable housing and gentrification in the district, with long-time local residents being forced out because of high expenses, renovation costs and taxes.

Panel members included municipal administrator Marc Deshield, local resident and Princeton Housing Authority Board Chair Leighton Newlin, local historian Shirley Satterfield, architect and developer and Town Topics shareholder Bob Hillier, and developers Roman Barsky and Josh Zinder.

Later in the program, as the discussion focused on affordable housing, policecommunity relations and the Mary Moss Pool, affordable housing subcommittee member Dosier Hammond, Ed Truscelli, executive director of Princeton Community Housing, and Alvin McGowen of the Housing Authority Board joined the panel.

Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter led the discussion on community policing.

“Princeton is a prosperous town,” said Mr. Newlin, “but we have a neighborhood in crisis.”

Asserting a need to reframe the dis-

cussion, Mr. Newlin continued, “We’ve been talking about destruction of buildings and architecture. I’d like to double back and bring the focus on the people.”

He compared the changes in W-J to the gentrification and destruction of black neighborhoods in Harlem and warned that the historic designation of W-J is not enough. “The fact that we are now the 20th historic district in Princeton is a magnificent and monumental achievement. It is a wonderful thing to have, but as important as this designation is in regard Continued on Page 8

Williams’ Compressor Proposal Worries Trap Rock Area Residents The Williams Company, which installed a natural gas pipeline last year on the Princeton Ridge, is proposing to build a compressor station along an existing natural gas pipeline, possibly inside Trap Rock Quarry in Kingston.

Residents of the area who are worried about the environmental impact and noise of such a project attended a special meeting August 10 of the Franklin Township Council to air their concerns and hear from the Texas-based Williams firm.

The company is considering two sites for the compressor station. One is 35.9 acres located off Route 27, near Promenade Boulevard; the other is a 52.2-acre expanse north of that, between Route 518 and Route 27. The facility would take up about six acres, according to the Williams website, and would require clearing approximately 15 acres, while the remaining acreage would be left wooded.

Chris Stockton, a spokesman for Continued on Page 12

Police Blotter Motorcyclist Injured In Two-Car Collision On Mercer Road

At approximately 2:20 p.m. on Saturday, August 13, Princeton Police responded to a motor vehicle collision involving a motorcyclist and two vehicles on Mercer Road at the Mercer Road bridge. The motorcyclist, Alonso Calix 34 years of age from Trenton, was traveling northbound on a 2013 Kawasaki and failed to navigate a curve in the roadway and struck a southbound 2000 Volkswagon driven by Luis Estrada, 35 years of age from Princeton. Calix was thrown from the motorcycle and struck a second southbound vehicle, a 2006 Prius driven by Alexandra Schaich-Borg, 31 years of age from Princeton.

Calix sustained serious internal injuries and was transported to Capital Health Regional in Trenton by the Princeton First Aid squad and paramedics from Capital Health. Estrada and Schaich-Borg were both uninjured. Mercer Road was closed for approximately three hours for the investigation, with the Princeton Fire Police assisting with traffic control. The investigation is ongoing and no summonses have been issued at this point.

Building Character and Self Esteem everything you want By the Lake and In the Woods Pam Gregory has worked for several organizations that give underserved urban youth a chance to spend time in peaceful, bucolic settings. But none have impressed her as much as the Princeton-Blairstown Center (PBC), a 107-year-old summer camp on 264 acres of wilderness in New Jersey’s Delaware Water Gap.

“People say it’s the best kept secret in Princeton,” said Ms. Gregory, the organization’s president and CEO. “One of the things I love about this place is that while all of the other sites are beautiful, this one is the best cared for. We have had three caretakers since the 1930s. People take such pride in the ownership.”

TOPICS Of the Town Last week, the PBC concluded the second year for its five-week Summer Bridge Program. Some 450 children from Trenton, Newark, and New York came to the camp for week-long immersions designed to narrow the summer learning gap and foster positive social skills.

The students attend in groups of 80 to 100, living in vintage cabins built in the 1930s overlooking Bass Lake. For many, it is their first experience living on a lake in the woods. “I spoke with two eighth grade boys from Newark last week,” Ms. Gregory recalled. “I asked them what they liked best about the week, and their answers were surprising, but gratifying. Both of them said kayaking was the best, but one said he also loved literacy and STEM [Science, Technolog y, Engineering and Math].”

T he k id s sp end t h re e hours a day on those two topics as well as projectbased STEAM work, which also includes arts. Three more hours are devoted to leadership, team-building, and problem-solving. Part of the curriculum involves a climbing wall, raft-building, music, poetry, and environmental education, among other topics. There is ample time, too, for swimming, canoeing, and different recreational activities.

Participants are divided into groups of 10 to 12 and paired w ith a facilitator and a teacher or chaperone they know. That takes care of any possibilities of homesickness. “The kids grow to love it once they let their guard down,” said Ms. Gregory. “They really are understanding that learning can be fun, and that’s the idea. They say they want to stay another week.”

Building Character Continued from Preceding Page

Students pay nothing to take part in PBC programs.

All of the funds that support it are raised from foundations. A fall fundraiser and golf outing, “Soiree Under the Stars,” is set for Friday, September 30.

Among the goals of the Summer Bridge Program are self awareness, self

confidence, and self esteem.

Leadership qualities, a willingness to try new things, decision-making, and developing group norms are also part of the mix. Each session begins and ends with a campfire circle, the latter to celebrate the students’ accomplishments during the week.

“It is very empowering to the kids as a group, but also to them as individuals,” Ms.

Gregory said. “These kinds of programs are so important, because they create leaders. We have to do a better job of letting people know about them.”

to the architectural history and the streetscape, if this designation does not stop or significantly slow down the displacement of brown Latino and black people in this neighborhood, it is not meaningless, but it is not nearly as meaningful as it could and should be. I’m afraid that in 20 years the next generation will have tour busses winding through Green, Quarry, Lytle, Clay, Maclean Streets and Leigh and Birch Avenues — and it will be hard to find people of color on the streets. That’s my fear. We can talk about architecture, with all due respect to the developers, but we have to focus on the people.”

Many in the audience of more than 40 people echoed Mr. Newlin’s concerns, and Ms. Satterfield, who with Mr. Bailey has just founded the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society, also emphasized the importance of African American involvement in the district.

“We are the most diverse, t he mos t i nclu s ive, t he friendliest community in Princeton,” Ms. Satterfield said. “We are a proud community, but you see no developers of color up here. We need to be more involved.

We only get involved at the last minute. That’s why I started the W-J Historical and Cultural society, so that we can get involved.”

Ms. Satterfield continued, “Developers and realtors need to make sure when people go to buy a home they know the history of the community so that when they come into the community they can respect it.”

Mr. Bailey added, “‘We’re involved in the everyday life here, but we’re not involved in the political, educational life. We are either not speaking up, not being assertive enough or not letting people know what our feelings are.

We have been taxed out, moved out, died out, and rented out of this area.”

Mr. Bailey went on to discuss the need for financial invest ment and bor rowing power, a bank to help people afford to maintain and purchase properties.

“If folks want to buy, there ought to be some way they can do that,” he said. “There are very few blacks here any more.”

Mr. Hillier acknowledged the problems, and suggested possible solutions. He described Princeton as “the best little city in the world,” explaining that it “still feels like a village, but it has urban issues, urban problems,”

including the challenges of providing affordable housing.

“Everybody’s asking what Hillier’s going to do. I can tell you Hillier’s still figuring out what Hillier’s going to do,” Mr. Hillier said. He mentioned the beauty of the neighborhood, along with the technical and financial challenges involved in making necessary improvements.

Mr. Hillier, who owns a number of properties on Witherspoon Street, described the Catch-22 of building codes requiring ceilings of a certain height and stairways of a certain width clashing with the historic district designation, which may not permit those required changes. He voiced the need for the Historic Preservation Commission in granting approvals to residents and builders to understand these challenges “So what I want to do,” he said, in comparing Witherspoon to the more attractive Quarry, Green and Lytle Streets, “is facelift Witherspoon Street — make it as pretty as it can be and also make it economically viable.”

Later in the program, in focusing on affordable housing, Mr. Hillier outlined a plan, emphasizing “creativity and careful design,” to make housing more afford-

Mr. Zinder, who ow ns properties at 201-205 Witherspoon Street as well as the old Masonic Temple building on MacLean Street, praised the historic district designation of W-J, but urged the adoption of additional building guidelines to help protect the district. “The historic district is a great first step,” he said, “but to think of it as a panacea, something that’s going to maintain the history or protect the history, is a mistake. It can’t do that. I’m concerned that the historic designation is not going to protect the history the way everybody wants it to. It has the potential to hurt financially those that it intends to help the most.”

Ms. Satterfield concluded with a reminder, “Remember history is not the buildings.

It is the people. We need to stick together.”

Later in the three-hour program, Mr. Sutter discussed community policing, currently a controversial topic throughout the country. “It’s about trust and legitimacy,” he said. “If you don’t trust us, if you don’t view us as legitimate, we’re destined for failure.”

He went on to explain the department’s initiatives to help build that trust and legitimacy. Citing the PPD annual report, he explained, “My vision is building trust and legitimacy one contact at a time. What that means is I want you to start to know our officers as men and women, so you can trust them as people. We are aggressively pushing our officers as individuals to learn about the community, to get involved in the community,

to continue to increase positive relationships where you feel free to approach officers and voice your concerns.”

Mr. Bailey and Mr. Sutter discussed how police had played a key role in the Joint Effort Safe Streets activities of the week, the basketball clinic and elsewhere.

“It’s about informal interactions that occur 100 times a week,” Mr. Sutter said, “where kids get to see us in our most basic functions, where they get to talk with the officers and they get to know each other.”

Mr. Bailey commented, “This police force is diverse.

Chief Sutter is doing the right thing and he’s competent and committed to deliver impartial and fair policing in this community.”

Eight students from Princeton Communit y Village ( PCV ) have won scholarships from the New Jersey Affordable Housing Management Association (JAHMA) and the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA).

In a ceremony last Wednesday at the Theodore M. Vial Clubhouse at PCV, Bruce Johnson, Administrator of the JAHMA and NAHMA Scholarship Foundations, presented the awards to A lana Chmiel, a sopho more at Rutgers this fall; Jonas Daniecki, a senior at Norwich University; Mary Ebong, a senior at Rutgers; Cindy Guzman, a senior at Rutgers; Vanessa Guzman, a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson; Daniel Hanna, a freshman at The College of New Jersey; Joshua Hsieh, a senior at Richard Stockton University; and Christian Nazario, a senior at LIM ( Laboratory Institute of Merchandising).

Mr. Joh ns on ack nowl edged the uniqueness and diversity represented by the students and praised the responsibility, hard work, diligence and strong academic background of each recipient. All eight scholarship winners are Princeton High School graduates.

Other speakers included Princeton Police Officers Shahid Abdul Karim and Jorge A. Narvaez and Franklin High School Principal Frank Chmiel. They congratulated the award

w inners and encouraged them to take advantage of the resources in the Princeton area, to be lifelong learners, to work hard, to never quit, and to give back to their communities.

Scholarship winners must d e m o n s t r ate s i g n i f i c a nt community involvement, a grade point average of at least 3.0 and strong recommendation letters from a teacher and an employer.

“They know what it is to be responsible in school work and to contribute to the community,” said PCV staff member Edith Juarez.

“These students set a great example for the younger students.”

Both foundations offer scholarships to outstanding students living at JAHMAand NAHMA-member affiliated properties. This year’s awards ranged from $1500 to $3500 for each JAHMA scholarship recipient and $2500 for each NAHMA winner. Six of the students received both awards.

Princeton Community Village, an affiliate of Princeton Community Housing (PCH), opened in 1975 to provide low and moderate income tow n houses and apartments. The nonprofit PCH provides, manages, and advocates for affordable housing. Founded in 1967, it works to ensure “a balance of housing opportunities essential to the continued success and diversity of the Princeton community.”

Barbara Figge Fox to Lecture At Button Society Gathering

Princeton resident and writer Barbara Figge Fox will present a program at the New Jersey State Button Society’s (NJSBS) Fall Show and Competition on Saturday, September 10 at the Union Fire Company in Titusville. Seventy-five years of collecting buttons will be celebrated at the event.

Ms. Fox’s program, “Button Pioneers from New Jersey,” will be at 2 p.m. All are welcome. Admission is $2 for adults and free for juniors to age 17.

Members of the NJSBS share an interest in studying, collecting, and preserving clothing buttons, both old and new. More than a dozen dealers and artists will offer buttons made from enamel, china, metal, and ivory -- plus modern and vintage buttons made from fruit pits, rubber, and glass.

“Hightstown resident Lillian Smith Albert founded the NJSBS in 1941, when interest in button collecting began to surge,” said Ms. Fox. “Albert was one of the New Jersey collectors who wrote some of the classic books on buttons.”

new strategies to ensure that all students learn similar content, skills, and concepts but do so in ways that acknowledge their differing interests, learning profiles, and readiness levels. We believe this more differentiated approach to instruction and assessment will help engage every student and ensure that each one is optimally challenged.”

Mr. Cochrane emphasized the challenges for education in the current environment, stating, “We live in a time when empathy toward others and an understanding of different perspectives has never been more important. The Princeton Public Schools want, and need, to be leaders in this effort.”

He expanded on the value and importance of diversity in the district. “We will be coming together,” he added, “to celebrate the cultural richness of our community, expanding our outreach so that all families feel comfortable accessing the resources of our school system and building our institutional and individual responsiveness to students and families from a variety of racial, religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds.”

Other plans for the coming year include : a new website for district content and a new Learning Management System for communication among teachers, students, and parents; a K-12 program review of science; Green Teams, with a focus on recycling and composting; enhancement of the Peer Group Program for freshmen; expansion of the Dual Language Immersion Program at Community Park to now include grades K-2; a survey of parents regarding their use of tutoring and other outside supports ; implementation of a family literacy center to support parents with their preschool-aged children; a review of community service to help build curricular connections and long-term commitment on the part of

students; a review of the high school schedule to help optimize wellness, balance, and high-level learning; and a continuation of homeworkfree holidays.

Mr. Cochrane says these are just a few of many plans for the next five years, in working toward the district’s strategic planning goals “and to fulfill our mission to prepare all students to lead lives of joy and purpose as knowledgeable, creative, and compassionate citizens of a global society.” PPS will share its complete strategic plan with the community later in the fall.

County Receives Approvals For Pedestrian Crosswalk

Mercer County has received approval from the Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission for installation of a crosswalk and pedestrian-activated beacons at the Washington Road crossing, which is heavily used by pedestrians and cyclists.

This was the final step in a lengthy approval process, which, due to the proximity of proposed safety devices to the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Towpath and the potential visual impacts on the elm allee, required approval from the State Historic Preservation Office. Approvals and input from the Princeton Historic Preservation Office, Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission and Princeton Universit y were also required.

“T he count y has been steadfast in pushing for this necessary safety upgrade, and I’m pleased that we have the green light to move forward, and I thank all the entities for advancing the project,” said Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes.

“The work will be done inhouse by our Mercer County Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, and my expectation is that the flashers and crosswalks will be completed by the end of this year.”

The Delaware and Raritan

Canal crossing at Washington Road (CR 571) is one of the most heavily used atgrade crossings in Mercer County. In October of 2014, two pedestrians were struck where the towpath crosses Washington Road, a County route. In response, both the Municipality of Princeton and Township of West Windsor adopted resolutions supporting pedestrian safety enhancements. Mercer County subsequently adopted an ordinance formally establishing a Mid-Block Crosswalk at the Washington Road crossing and initiated the approval process to install a high-visibility crosswalk and pedestrian-activated beacons.

Due to the roadway alignment and relatively high travel speeds approaching the crossing, Mercer County proposed mounting one of the flasher assemblies over the roadway. The other assembly would be post mounted. In keeping with the historic character of the area, the hardware will be powder-coated black.

A resolution to authorize the project will go before the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

Town’s Swift Response to July 30 Crisis At Barracks Contained Fire to Garage

To the Editor: The fast response from observant neighbors, Princeton’s Police and Fire Departments, truly demonstrate that it takes a town to preserve a house.

Last week during the July 30 rain storm, the Barracks, thought to be Princeton’s oldest home, was inundated with water that (most probably) sparked the electrical system and caused a fire. The town’s swift response was able to contain the fire to the garage. The cottage is badly damaged but it will be restored and remediated to ensure its continued preservation.

Mayor Liz Lempert has made a commitment to look at the ongoing storm water issues in the town. While I am fortunate to be the custodian of this wonderful and historical house, I am truly blessed to be living in an extraordinary neighborhood, in a great town with committed leadership.

My deep appreciation to everyone who helped and opened their doors, sofas, and hearts.

Comments on New Shade Tree Commission Ordinance Given at August 8 Council Meeting

To the Editor: At last week’s Council meeting the revised ordinance came up for review and public comment. At that meeting I thanked Council and Shade Tree Commission (STC) members for all the volunteer hours they had spent on this new comprehensive ordinance. I had suggestions to make: Replacement Plan for trees sect .22-13d Cost of the permit sect 22-13g Cost of contractors registration fee sect 22-19 Dead trees (or dying ones), large ones or small, do not seem to be addressed. I felt that they should not be treated in the same way as live trees to be felled. A homeowner should not have to pay for a permit when a tree is dead or

dying and in dangerous condition. The town arborist might even encourage a home owner to take the tree down and make the permit free; she should also ask them to consider replanting where possible.

As an incentive to re-plant, STC could offer a free tree or $25. At the moment, given the presentation in the ordinance, it reads as rather dictatorial. STC needs to communicate firmly but not aggressively with homeowners. Huge trees cost thousands of dollars to remove; this could soften the blow.

Live trees: the permit should be $25 (cost need not keep pace with our taxes.)

Contractors need to read the ordinance. They will receive a copy when they register to work in our town. A large fine should be levied when they work unregistered.

To sum up, most of our citizens love trees, love this town and community. We are responsible. We do not all own a pot of gold to give lots of trees to others to compensate for tree removal. Just because we have had to lose a tree maybe due to leaf scorch or emerald ash borer, should we be given another burden to contend with?

Our taxes pay for our staff, so let’s not put residents’ backs up and fuel law suits by charging them for staff services that could be levied by STC if this ordinance is passed in its present form.

Carter Road Bridge Closure Causing Losses To Cherry Grove Farm, Other Businesses

To the Editor: I thought your readers would like to know a bit about the financial losses caused by the Carter Road Bridge Construction Project and the additional losses coming this fall because of Governor Christie’s work stoppage order of several weeks ago that has delayed the completion of the bridge for months.

I can tell you that all the farming/nursery endeavors that make our community here in Lawrenceville so special have been negatively impacted this summer. Cherry Grove Farm has lost thousands in revenue so far this year because of the bridge that cuts our farm in half severing our lifeline between the fields along Carter and Carson Roads and our main farmstead on Route 206. Our store revenue is down and by the looks of it the fall season will only be worse.

Shoppers just cannot get there due to our bridge closing and other stoppages in the Princeton area. My neighbors running small vital businesses producing locally grown foods so important to our shoppers have told me that sales are way off compared to 2015.

Also as troubling are the potential health hazards resulting from the stagnant water pooling up at the bridge construction project. I do know that West Nile Virus mosquitoes incubate in standing water like the festering pool below the bridge. Mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus also breed in similar environments.

These hazards are in addition to all the accidents I have witnessed this summer along the narrow back roads caused by cars driving too fast on roads that do not have shoulders and should not be used as detours.

Maybe, Brian Hughes, our county executive, can save the day and get the job done. I’m not holding my breath.

Yes We CAN! Food Drives Collects Fresh Produce for Crisis Ministry

To the Editor: Here’s my story.

For those of us who love fresh fruit and vegetables, summer is Nirvana: peaches, melons, tomatoes, corn, eggplants, and more, all sold at area supermarkets. But if you want food delivered directly from the farm to you, then visit the West Windsor Farmers’ Market, where 16 local farmers bring their produce every Saturday as it ripens throughout the growing season.

Thanks to Chris Cirkus and her volunteers, market day has become a family and community event. Tents are erected for the farmers and vendors, while shoppers mix and mingle as music and entertainment play in the background.

But, this isn’t the end of the story.

Not everyone can afford the price of fresh produce.

Thanks to the generous donations from shoppers at the West Windsor market, Yes We CAN! Food Drives is able to purchase large quantities of fresh fruit and vegetables from the farmers and turn it over for FREE distribution at the food pantries of The Crisis Ministry in Princeton and Trenton. Over one thousand children and families each month know they can depend on the pantries for their spring, summer, and fall supply of fresh produce, and not just the soggy beans in a can of preservatives.

This generosity, however, doesn’t stop with the shoppers.

The farmers themselves not only give Yes We CAN! a discount, but at the end of the market day, they often donate to us unsold cartons of their bounty. What a wonderful system — a win/win situation! Last year, our volunteers collected 13,500 pounds of fresh produce for the clients of The Crisis Ministry. This year alone, in five market days, we have collected enough donations to give the Ministry 4,200 pounds of fruits and vegetables, some of that from home and church gardeners. Thank you all, farmers, shoppers, gardeners, and volunteers.

With more and more families facing daily food challenges, we urge you to visit the West Windsor Farmers’

Compressor Proposal continued from page one

Williams, said this week that it is too early in the planning stages to identify all of the issues. But there is “a lot of misinformation” about the nature of compressor facilities, he said. “We are regulated by the Federal Environmental Regulatory Commission [FERC] and they have very strict standards we have to follow,” he said. “FERC regulates that you can’t exceed a certain noise standard at the property line that is equivalent to about what you’d get in a household refrigerator. So we don’t perceive that as being an issue.”

Regarding harmful chemicals, Mr. Stockton said the company already operates five compressor facilities in New Jersey. “There are no chemicals that we’re emitting. There are emissions from the facilities, but they fall under the state and federal regulations. We have to comply with those regulations, so it is certainly something we’re aware of and will build into the design.”

Lauren Nagy, an owner of Cooperative 518 farm in Franklin Township, finds the proposals alarming. “Our farm is less than a mile from

both of the proposed sites,” she said after attending the recent meeting. “We’re concerned that pollution would affect what we grow. We provide food for over 100 families in a CSA [Community Supported Agriculture] program.”

The Williams firm’s assertion that the project would be safe did not put residents’ minds at rest. “They said there was no hazard to human health, that they go above and beyond safety standards,” Ms. Nagy said.

“It’s a bunch of brainwashing. None of it made anyone feel better. Williams has a lot to gain.”

Mr. Stockton said Williams delivers half the natural gas used in New Jersey. “But the customer for this project is New York,” he added. “What’s happening in New York right now is that they’re converting buildings that were using heavy fuel oils to gas. So we provide half of the gas used in New York City, which is part of what is driving this.” The project would bring gas from the local area out to Long Island.

Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, said there are serious concerns about the proposed proj-

ect. “There is a tremendous amount of environmental impact,” he said. “It will cover acres of land, be very noisy and vent a lot of toxic chemicals. People don’t realize compressor stations are a place where you can have everything from benzene to arsenic and uranium. So it’s really pretty serious from an air quality standpoint. It’s also bad for water quality because you can get runoff from the industrial plant of diesel fuel, lubricant, and other contaminants.”

New Jersey residents are not the ones served by the proposed plant. “So the gas companies get the money, we get the noise and the pollution, and New York gets the gas. It’s a bad deal all around,” Mr. Tittel added.

Williams is currently doing the environmental work necessary to narrow down the choices of a site from two to one. “We hope to have that done before the fall,” Mr. Stockton said. “Once we feel comfortable with a location, we will file an application with FERC next spring.

The goal would be to start construction sometime in the summer of 2018.”

The company is making an effort to convey information to the public, he added.

Local Educational Institutions Announce New Officers

The Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton Academy, and The Hun School have appointed new officers. At IAS, Elizabeth Boluch Wood is the new chief development officer. Jennifer Sheppard has joined Princeton Academy as director of ad-

missions, and Hun recently welcomed Lisa A. Marin as director of The Hun Fund.

Ms. Wood, who was vice president for development at Princeton University from 2010 to 2016, and most recently served as assistant to the president for Capital Gifts, will join the Institute in September. At Princeton Universit y, she success fully concluded the largest fundraising campaign in the University’s history, Aspire, and, during her tenure, oversaw a total of $1.7 billion in capital gifts and annual giving.

Under Ms. Wood’s leadership, Princeton had the two largest fundraising years in its history — $341 million in 2012 and $550 million in 2015.

A graduate of Dartmouth College, Ms. Sheppard most recently served as the director of admissions and enrollment management at George School in Newtown, Pa., as well as associate director of admission at The Pennington School. Prior to her work on the East Coast, she served as director of admissions at Stevenson School’s Carmel Campus (PK-8) in California. She also served as Stevenson’s director of financial aid, associate director of admissions and resident faculty member on the Pebble Beach Campus (9-12), as well as the director of admissions and finan-

cial aid at the Urban School in San Francisco.

Ms. Marin comes to Hun’s Advancement Office from The Lawrenceville School, where she served for nearly a decade as associate director of both alumni relations and The Lawrenceville Fund.

A graduate of Franklin & Marshall College and Rutgers University’s law school, Ms. Marin served as an attorney for the State of New Jersey in several departments, including the office of the governor and office of the attorney general. She has been an active volunteer for The Hun School, chairing the Alumni Board’s Hun Fund Committee, as well as chairing her 25th and 30th Class Reunions. Most recently, she served as president of the Alumni Board.

“I am thrilled to be part of the very strong advancement team that is helping The Hun School move forward on so many important initiatives,” said Ms. Marin. “I look forward to reconnecting with many old friends and classmates, and am honored to be offered this amazing opportunity to give back to Hun. It’s great to be ‘home’ again.”

ART REVIEW

Taking Photographic Art to Another Level: Steve McCurry in Afghanistan

W

hen I wandered out of Friday’s heavy heat into the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, there she was, Afghan Girl, the banner image of “Unguarded, Untold, Iconic Afghanistan: Through the Lens of Steve McCurry.” Taken in 1984 at a tent school in the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in Pakistan, the National Geographic cover photo won world renown as a symbol of the plight of refugees everywhere.

Part of the fascination is that it’s never as if you’re seeing her so much as she’s seeing you. You can stare at her all you want and she’ll outstare you, the force of her gaze never lessening, never letting go. The effect is intensified by the way the picture has been framed, the green backdrop a foil for the infinitely richer, more subtle shade of green in the eyes, the deep plum-dark earth tones of the head scarf setting off an expression that has been compared to the inscrutable smile of the Mona Lisa. But while Da Vinci’s woman appears mysteriously, remotely amused, there to be contemplated at your leisure, Afghan Girl is fiercely present, like a loaded weapon aimed at your eyes. It’s a reversal of the superstition: she’s the one stealing souls, not the camera.

Melville’s Afghanistan If I were writing an essay on the wonders of the human face, I’d begin with a passage from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick in which that unlettered savant Ishmael compares “a fine human brow” to “the east when troubled with the morning” and goes on (you can almost hear the whoosh as Melville spreads his wings) to observe that “in most creatures, nay in man himself, very often the brow is but a mere strip of alpine land lying along the snow line. Few are the foreheads which like Shakespeare’s or Melancthon’s rise so high, and descend so low, that the eyes themselves seem clear, eternal, tideless mountain lakes; and all above them in the forehead’s wrinkles, you seem to track the antlered thoughts descending there to drink, as the Highland hunters track the snow prints of the deer.”

What can you say to such strange lands of prose traveled in a single sentence? And why bring a great American novel into an exhibit of photographs of Afghanistan? For one thing, McCurry’s most powerful work is as extraordinary in its suggestiveness as that passage of inspired, over-the-top prose.

An image like the ruins of a city in Herat After Ten Years of Bombing (1992) has the scope and depth of a bravura creation, as if the photographer had taken reality to another level, the way Melville does when he turns a whale’s brow into a literary adventure.

Another reason for Melville’s presence here is that Moby Dick is where I first heard of Afghanistan. Some 500 pages before I even got to the mountain lakes of that Melvillian rhapsody, I’d been disarmed by the spirit and sweep of the opening chapters and the play of the author’s mind, as when the jaunty Ishmael imagines the placement of his venture on “the grand programme of Providence” in which

“whaling voyage by one Ishmael” appears in smaller print between two headlines, “Grand Contested Election for the Presidency of the United States” and “Bloody Battle in Afghanistan.”

“They’re Only Bombs” If there’s an ounce of adventure in your heart, it’s hard to read those early chapters of Moby Dick without wanting to go to sea with Ishmael, or at least to put a pack on your back, take to the road, and end up, as I did, celebrating your 27th birthday in Kabul.

I had my birthday dinner at the Khyber, a cafeteria-style restaurant for Westerners that has, from what I can tell, survived the devastation revealed in McCurry’s photograph from 2002, Students Attend Class in Partially Destroyed Building in Central Kabul. My time in Kabul was before the Soviet occupation when the highway from Herat to Kandahar had been built by the Russians and the stretch between Kanda-

The Beatles in Herat The children I saw playing on the streets and alleys of Herat and Kabul belonged to a generation that had nothing to do with bombs, shells, and mines. At the same time, it’s possible to imagine that one of the boys or his older brother became the young Afghan soldier in McCurry’s photo from 1993 or perhaps the Mujahideen installing land mines in 1979.

Faced with that vision of Herat after a decade of bombing, I could be looking at a painting of a devastated metropolis from the time of Ghenghis Khan. When people used to ask me what I meant when I said I loved Afghanistan, I’d mention the first morning’s arrival in Herat and rhapsodize about the procession of camels I’d seen in the distance as the truck approached the city, and how exciting it was to imagine Tashkent and Samarkand a short journey away, and how fine it felt to lounge cross-legged on a wicker divan drinking tea in a delicately embellished cup and saucer while the cafe radio played

men, it’s that they’re seated in front of an enormously enlarged color photograph of the lower Manhattan skyline showing the Twin Towers, windows alight, against a sky of so florid a shade of red you have to wonder if it’s been painted by an artist suggesting an ominous connection between the still-standing towers and the satanic-looking central character in whom McCurry saw a resemblance to Osama bin Laden. While the other men appear unaware of the image on the wall, the bin Laden lookalike seems to be savoring it.

McCurry witnessed the collapse of the Twin Towers from the window of his Greenwich Village apartment. He was also among the first photographers on the scene. And a year later in Afghanistan, he walks into the tea shop and sees the big image on the wall and a man with a face like bin Laden’s.

While McCurry’s photographs of the ruins of Herat and the rooftop classroom in Kabul suggest narratives, Men in Tea Shop seems to cross over from photojournalism to storytelling, a distinction McCurry has made in his own defense after being accused of staging or doctoring some of his photos, including even Afghan Girl.

In a recent article on the subject in TIME, McCurry says, “I’ve always let my pictures do the talking, but now I understand that people want me to describe the category into which I would put myself, and so I would say that today I am a visual storyteller. The years of covering conflict zones are in the distant past. Except for a brief time at a local newspaper in Pennsylvania, I have never been an employee of a newspaper, news magazine, or other news outlet.

I have always freelanced.” n the Michener exhibit, which runs through October 23, what you see is the work of a photographer who, at his most inspired, took his art to another level. The stories are there for you to imagine, whether or not you’ve set foot in Afghanistan. Speaking in McCurry’s defense, Sarah Leen, National Geographic’s director of photography said of the Afghan Girl cover of the June 1985 issue, “No other image in my memory is so immediately recognizable and loved by such a large number of people across the globe.”

—Stuart Mitchner The Michener has interspersed passages from Caravans, James A. Michener’s 1963 novel about Afghanistan, with McCurry’s photography. Michener and McCurry are both from Southeastern Pennsylvania, and McCurry has said that reading the novel was among the numerous prompts for his first trip to Afghanistan in 1979.

It’s also worth mentioning that three of the children being schooled in the rooftop ruin in Kabul are girls. In fact, the women of Afghanistan have a gallery to themselves at the Michener where rugs woven by women from designs by artists including the late Michael Graves of Princeton are displayed along with a selection of work from Imagine Asia’s Young Women’s Photography Initiative.

A New York Times story from 1996 refers to the “Cold War folly” of the project and the fact that Soviet tanks rolling down the highway in the 1980s, along with the pounding of heavy truck traffic, had reduced the road surface to “nothing but rubble stretching to the horizon, a roller-coaster of vast heaves and hollows” — which describes how it felt to this traveler before the Soviets thanks to riding all day and all night on 500 miles of crushed gravel and asphalt in a makeshift Afghan truck-bus with wooden seats.

In the Times account of a mid-90s journey on the highway between Kandahar and Kabul, a 12-year-old boy whose job was gathering up the unexploded bombs littering the roadside says “They’re only bombs.

I’ve carried lots of them,” leading someone else to say, “Our children know them all …. Bombs, shells, mines, they’ve lived with them all their lives.”

the Beatles. People thought I was making it up. Paul McCartney singing “Michelle” in Afghanistan? What about the Taliban?

Obviously, these were questions asked after 9/11 and the American bombings and around the time McCurry photographed kids attending class in the ruins of a building in Kabul. The splashes of yellow and red covering the ruined rooftop walls to which a fragment of blackboard has been attached remind me of the mural my friends and I got free room and board for painting, in the dining room of a hotel that was almost certainly destroyed during the factional fighting of the nineties or the American crush-theTaliban campaign.

a Princeton tradition!

APPRECIATE QUALITY? HARD-TO-FIND PRODUCTS? FASHIONABLE & FUNCTIONAL? OUTSTANDING VALUES? OLD FASHIONED SERVICE?

T

anner (Ben Foster) and Toby Howard (Chris Pine) are brothers who are as different as night and day.

The former is impulsive, reckless, and sociopathic, a combination that explains why he’s spent a long stretch in prison for a violent crime. In contrast, his younger brother is stable, sensitive, and chivalrous.

While Tanner was behind bars, Toby, who is divorced, divides his time between raising his two sons (John Paul Howard and Christopher W. Garcia) and caring for his terminally-ill mother. It’s no surprise that before she died, she cut Tanner out of her will and left a sizable estate to Toby.

Unfortunately, a shady loan officer (Richard Christie) had duped her into taking a reverse mortgage on her cattle ranch. As a result, the bank is holding a lien on her land which Toby has just learned is sitting atop a fortune in untapped oil reserves. However, unless the note is paid off by Friday, Texas Midlands bank will follow through on its threat to foreclose, “Come hell or high water.”

Of course, Toby wants keep the property and sign it over to his boys. Trouble is, he can’t raise the cash. As a result, he is considering breaking the law for the first time in his life.

Enlisting the assistance of his brother, who was just paroled, he hatches a plan to rob Texas Midlands’ branches until they’ve got enough cash to pay off the mortgage.

The two proceed to embark on a spree aimed solely at branches of the bank that had taken advantage of their vulnerable mother.

However, the heists soon come to the attention of the Texas Rangers and the case is assigned to Marcus Hamilton (Jeff Bridges), a wily veteran who is only weeks away from retirement. Soon Hamilton and his Comanche partner (Gil Birmingham) are on the pair’s trail.

Thus unfolds Hell or High Water, a captivating, catand-mouse crime thriller directed by Brit David Mackenzie (Starred Up). Between Taylor Sheridan’s (Sicario) engaging script and the powerful performances by Jeff Bridges and company, this sleeper would be generating Oscar buzz if it hadn’t been released in August.

Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for graphic violence, pervasive profanity, and brief sexuality. Running time: 102 minutes. Studio: Film 44/Sidney Kimmel Entertainment/Lionsgate/OddLot Entertainment. Distributor: CBS Films.

UV, mini-van, coupe, sedan, wagon, sporty conver tible, pick-up truck?

You name it — all these and more belong to high school and college students,

who are owning their own automobiles in increasing numbers.

It may not be the “coolest” car and perhaps veer a bit toward “soft serve vanilla,” and maybe it doesn’t have

heated seats, navigation aids, or touch screen controls, but it is their own!

Perhaps they have saved enough to purchase that very first car themselves, but more often than not, parents

Princeton area dealerships offer a wide range of opportunities for these first-time car owners.

Cost-Conscious “We see a large increase in students purchasing their own cars,” says Scott T. Harvey, vice president of op erat ions, Coleman Subaru and Coleman KIA in Ewing. “We have several different programs to assist in the purchase of cars for the younger buyers.

and both of our brands accommodate this very well.

Of course, the parents want them to have safety features.”

As Mr. Harvey pointed out, previously-owned autos are often the most cost-effective options for high school and college students, and he says these are readily available at

Coleman Subaru and KIA. “A certified used car or a lease on a new one are the most popular here. We pride ourselves at Coleman Subaru and KIA on our certified pre-owned program. This takes all of the concern out of purchasing a used car, and increases the warranties. With Subaru and KIA, we are very fortunate that the National Insurance Institute of Highway Safety rates

our brands very high, with most of our models earning a 5-Star.”

Peter C. DiPersia, vice president of Honda of Princeton, located on State Road, points out that Hondas also have a very high safety history, a very important factor for the youngest drivers to consider.

“All cars are improving their safety ratings, but Honda remains one of the safest in the industry as measured by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the National Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

With the 5-Star rating from these organizations, we offer parents a safe, reliable car for their kid! Hondas are known for their ‘DQR‘ — Durability, Quality, and Reliability, so parents are very comfortable with the brand.”

Jeep or Convertible Mr. DiPersia reports that the most popular Hondas for high school and college students are the “all new redesigned Civic and also the new compact SUV, called the HRV.” And, he adds, “Every kid wants a Jeep or a convertible, but when mom and dad get involved, they want their kid to have a safe, reliable car from a reputable dealership. Honda of Princeton is able to provide all of that and more. By more, I mean offering two years or 24,000 miles of pre-paid maintenance on all new and certified pre-owned

Hondas at no charge to the customer.

“Often times,” he continues, “the introduction to the Honda brand is made through a cer tified pre ow ned Honda. St udents may be able to afford a little more car by looking at a pre-owned vehicle with a factory-backed warranty.”

Belle Mead Garage on Route 206 in Belle Mead focuses on previously-owned vehicles, and finds these to be very popular with young drivers, says owner Christopher (“Kip”) Higgins.

The 89-year-old family business is a favorite of its many long-time customers.

After 74 years as a Chrysler dealership, Belle Mead Garage now emphasizes preowned vehicles and service.

“All of our pre-owned cars have a warranty unless specifically marked,” says Mr. Higgins, who is the third generation of his family to operate the business. “Service is our specialty, and we have different generation customers — including the youngest — from the same families. They appreciate our personal attention, which includes service reminders and free loaner cars when needed.

“All of our pre-owned cars are certified, meaning they meet a check-list of standards. We offer low financing cash rebate incentives, and excellent warranties and guarantees.”

“Bells and Whistles” Among the younger customers, SUVs and Jeeps are especially popular, reports Mr. Higgins. “SUVs sit a little higher, and visibility is always good, and so is maneuverability. Jeeps are one of the favorites with the high school and college students, as are Honda Civics and Accords, and also Toyota sedans and coupes.”

As far as the latest high tech “bells and whistles”, he notes that “The kids come in with high hopes! They’ve been used to these features in their parents’ cars, and they want them too. Sound systems are especially important to them and electronic plug-ins.”

Another long-time familyowned dealership is Volvo of Continued on Next Page

Princeton in Lawrenceville.

Customer loyalty is a priority of this company and brothers David, Matt, and Larry Long opened Long Motor Company in Princeton in 1982.

Customers especially appreciate Volvo’s safety record, and this is very important when young drivers are behind the wheel of their first car.

“Most (85 to 90 percent) of our young clientele are buying pre-owned vehicles,” says Chris Long, Volvo of Princeton general manager and the second generation to be involved in the family business. “Their parents often want to see the kids in an SUV because it is higher off the ground, and they also want all-wheel drive, which is a huge safety feature.

Many Models “Sedans and wagons are also good for kids, and we sell a mix of many models, including, of course, Volvos.”

Vehicle safety is always a priority at Volvo of Prince-

ton. As Mr. Long points out, “We tell parents that anyone can have an accident. It’s not planned, but it can happen. I urge them to surround their children with the safest car. This gives them a head start and leg-up in case an accident does happen.”

Mr. Long adds that Blue Tooth technology for cell phones in the car is another feature parents encourage.

Customer satisfaction is always very important to Volvo of Princeton, he says, and the dealership has received top honors in customer satisfaction for 25 years in a row.

When it comes to safety issues, all the area dealerships point to the dangers of texting or talking on the phone while driving. “ Te x t i ng h as e cl ip s e d drunk driving as the biggest source of accidents among teens and young people,” notes Mr. Long. “When we sell a car to young drivers, we always stress the risks of texting. There are means to track the phone now to see if kids have been texting. This is recommended. it’s called ‘parenting.’”

is on

Driver Awareness Kip Higgins agrees, and he and the staff at Belle Mead Garage always point out the risks of texting and phoning, and recommend the use of hand-free phone features.

“The most impor tant thing is driver awareness,” he says. “There is a time to drive and a time to text, and they should not be done together.”

“We strongly recommend NEVER texting while driving,” adds Mr. Harvey. “We want all drivers to know how important it is NOT to text.

They need to understand that if a driver is involved in a serious accident, their phone records will be used against them in court.”

Texting is an equally important issue at Honda of Princeton, says Mr. DiPersia.

“Our management does an exit interview with every customer, and whenever there is a student or young person involved, we tell them to put down the phone! Put it in the compartment between the seats because distracted driving is the leading cause of accidents these days, and your life is just not worth responding to a text with an emoji.

“Honda of Princeton is a major sponsor of the Montgomery Fun Fest coming up on Sunday, September 25th,” continues Mr. DiPersia. “At our booth, we will be asking both parents and kids alike to sign a pledge not to text and drive.”

It’s great fun to be in the driver’s seat in that special first car, but safety awareness helps ensure that the fun will last!

BACK TO SCHOOL Princeton Area Public and Private Schools Offer Healthy, Nutritional Lunches for Students

T

he statistics are alarmi n g. A c c o r d i n g to studies from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years.

Today, about one in three kids is overweight or obese.

A n d s t u d i e s s h o w t h at overweight kids tend to become overweight and obese adults. Studies also indicate that overweight children are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, bone and joint problems, and various types of cancer.

A number of factors have contributed to the rise in obesit y among children.

Among them : less physic a l ac t iv it y, w it h m ore time spent watching TV or engaged in video games; increased marketing of unhealthy foods (especially targeting kids); larger portion sizes and higher consumption of sugary beverages.

Some studies indicate that one fifth of teens drink the equivalent of an extra meal in sugar-sweetened bever-

ages.

One important way to begin to combat this problem is by following the dietary guidelines of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture. The latter has instituted “My Plate” guidelines for a healthy daily menu. A chart, “To Make it Simple,” shows a plate half filled with fruits and vegetables, a quarter with grains, another quarter with protein, and a very small portion of dairy.

Healthy Eating School lunches can be a major part of furthering the goal of healthy eating, and according to the Physicians Committee on Healthy School Lunches, more work needs to be done. Their studies show that menus in many school lunch programs are too high in saturated fat and cholesterol and too low in fiber- and nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.

The Physicians Committee “Healthy School Lunch Program” is dedicated to improving the food served to children in schools by educating government and school officials, food service

workers, and parents about the food choices that are best able to promote children’s long-time health.

Princeton area schools, both public and private, have a strong record of providing healthy lunches for their students and keeping up-to-date on the latest dietary guidelines.

For example, the Princeton Public School District, including four elementary schools, one middle, and one high school, has three registered dieticians to help prepare the monthly menu, notes Sharon McLoone, operations manager of NutriSer ve Food Management Company, which serves the school district.

“There are state and federal guidelines and regulations that we must follow,” adds Ms. McLoone. “By following the Child Nutrition guidelines put forth by the USDA and NJDA, the dietary concerns are addressed, and we offer numerous choices hopefully appealing to all students. We offer hot and cold lunches, and provide a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. We bake and do not fry, we use whole

grain products, and we do not offer soda or candy bars.”

Ms. McLoone points out the growing awareness of children today regarding healthy eating. “Most students are more conscious of their nutritional needs, the upper level grades more so.

The elementary level grades are not as concerned about the nutrition aspect of their meal — they want it to taste good and look familiar. We keep the choices healthy so it is easy for the students to make good choices.”

Balanced Meals Pr inceton Montessor i School, with a student enrollment consisting of infants through eighth grade, works with its Food and Nutrition Committee to help give students options for healthy s chool lu nche s, repor t s Andrea O’Brian, Princeton Montessori director, operations and communications.

“The school has two vendors from whom parents may choose to buy lunches for students: Brick Farm Market, which provides local, sustainable, farm-to-table foods; and Smart Lunches,” explains Ms. O’Brian. “Both providers use healthy ingredients and offer balanced meals. Meal plans offered

include vegetarian, glutenfree, meat-based, hot and cold lunches every day of the week.”

Healthy eating is important to Princeton Montessori, as the school strives to educate the “whole child,” adds Alex Cardona, Montessori parent and chair of the Food and

Nutrition Committee. “Not only do students learn about the USDA ‘Choose My Plate’ program and the value of exercise for the body and mind, but students have the opportunity to practice these habits with the availability of healthy snack and lunch options.”

or drinks to school, says Mr. Cardona. “Each child br ings a week ly healt h ful snack to share with the rest of the class, from the youngest children in Toddler through Elementary. The responsibility of bringing in a healthy snack to share with their peers teaches children to make smart food choices and practice heathy eating habits, even at a young age.

Also, the food and nutrition program policy suggests that for birthday celebrations, more healthful treats and more age-appropriate portion sizes (i.e. mini-cupcakes for our youngest children) are preferred.”

Allergies, whether to gluten, peanuts, dairy, etc., are a big concern today, and Princeton Montessori does not include nuts in its dietary program, points out Ms. O’Brian. In addition, she emphasizes the importance of educating the students about making healthier food choices.

“We are aware that 17 percent of American youth are obese and 36 percent of American adults are obese, and these rates are rising.

At Princeton Montessori School, we believe that establishing education and raising awareness are key components in solving this growing issue. We hope to expand our food and nutrition program to a comprehensive farm-to-school program that encompasses education, awareness, sourcing, procurement from local farms, and long-term planning and sustainability.”

ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO: Local soup kitchens and food pantries will get a special crop of potatoes that were planted at Howell Living History Farm a few months ago. On Saturday, August 20, the public is invited to help the harvest crew from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Farm staff will lead the project, using horses or oxen to pull a special plow. Lemonade and cookies will be served all day. Howell Farm is on Valley Road just off Route 29 in Hopewell Township. Visit www.howellfarm.org.

phasizing these issues, adds Ms. O’Brian. “Even younger students seem more aware than in the past about different foods, and many are wiling to try different foods.

These programs culminate with local farm visits. This past May, students from middle school participated in an all-day education program at a local farm. They learned about sustainable practices in growing food and gardening, and how to be more aware of the ingredients in our food.

“Awareness of healthy eating, openness to trying new health foods, and awareness of where food comes from and how it gets to them are important for a child’s health and are important to Princeton Montessori School.”

Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart has a long history of emphasizing healthy lunches for its students.

“We partner with the Flik Independent School Dining team, that includes an executive chef and registered dietician to plan, review, and execute menus as well as work with the on-site team,” explains Risa Engel, Stuart director of communications.

“The Stuart Dining Services team follows a clean eating philosophy. Our food and nutrition program is culinary-driven, and focuses on quality ingredients and delivering appealing and nutritious food. Though, as an independent school, we are not subject to certain government regulations, we are aware of the ever-changing

guidelines and always work to stay ahead of the curve.”

Striving to provide healthy lunches for students, while being aware of the variety of issues — from obesity to food allergies — facing students today, schools must remain vigilant about these challenges.

Wide Spectrum As Ms. Engel points out,

“There is a wide spectrum of health concerns when it comes to serving children today, from the risk of obesity to food allergies to body image issues. We work with our staff and dietary team as well as our families in a number of capacities to ensure that individual needs are met. Stuart does not serve peanuts and tree nuts, Continued on Page 28

what to eat through variety, balance, and portion size.”

Food Allergies The school emphasizes healthier drink options, such as milk, juice, fruit-infused water, and juice blends instead of sodas, and as he points out, “All food and drink options are given a color based on nutritional value. Every day, Hun students can choose from offerings that include a hot main dish accompanied by starches and vegetables, a salad and fruit bar, a cold cut deli station, offering a variety of meats and cheeses, including house-made turkey and roast beef, two soup offerings, a dessert and bakery station, and specialty dishes.”

The school also takes seriously allergy concerns and makes every effort to eliminate any problems, says Mr. Csapo. This includes reviewing recipes and ingredients providing an on-line menu allergen filter with 24 -hour access, labeling all menu items containing the 12 main allergens, and training all team members to recognize anaphylaxis and use an EpiPen. Also, he adds, “Because peanut and tree nut allergies are the most common food allergies among children, and children with those allergies are more likely to experience anaphylaxis, we only provide nuts and nut products upon request.”

Hun School students, as those elsewhere, are becoming more concer ned about healthy diets, says Mr. Csapo. “Students are making certain food choices as a result, and in partnership with SAGE, we do our best to promote healthy eating habits by offering variety, and sourcing food from local vendors whenever possible.

They cook from scratch as much as possible, which is not always the case in cafeteria-style dining. We selected SAGE in part due to their commitment to this ideology.”

For students who opt to bring their lunch from home (more often in the public than in the private schools), emphasis on healthy choices is just as important. With all the information available today, parents and/or students will find many appetizing choices to make a healthy, appealing lunch possible.

and we do not seek to incorporate sugary beverages or candy into our dining program.”

Both hot and cold lunches are popular at Stuart, and Ms. Engel notes that some students are very conscious of healthy eating habits while others are less concerned.

“It seems that perhaps the interest in our celebrity chef culture is more food-driven than health-driven. In general, students are interested in knowing about ingredients and where food is coming from. We see some parallels in students that we do in the adult population — there is always a mix of those very interested in eating for health, whereas others don’t make it as much of a priority. Overall, we find that as long as the food is tasty, everyone is willing to eat!”

Along with the other area schools, The Hun School of Princeton is concerned about proper healthy nutrition for its students.

“O u r d i n i n g p r o g r a m works to provide healthy eating habits,” says Gabriel Csapo, Food Services Director, SAGE Dining Services, The Hun School. “We partner with SAGE to provide daily meals to our day and boarding students. Through SAGE, we work with a team of registered dieticians who rev iew ever y recipe and menu, and utilize a threepage check-list to ensure that meals meet rigorous standards for variety, nutritional value, and various allergies present within our student body.”

Mr. Csapo adds that Hun follows the FDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

“For example, the FDA just released the 2015 -2020 g uidelines w it h updated nutritional and dietary information, particularly addressing saturated fats and added sugar, and our dieticians made a few adjustments as a result.

“Also, we help educate students about the benefit of eating healthy, and the impact nutrition has on students’ academic and athletic performance, attendance, and long-term health. Promoting nutritional value has been demonstrated to be as effective in guiding student food choices as posting calories. Therefore, through SAGE’s Spotlight Program, a color-coded system, we Family Guidance Center try to help students make informed decisions about Names New Board Head Family Guidance Center

“The generous support and endorsement of the Princeton Area Community Foundation over the years is invaluable to our ability to provide high quality programs to an increasing number of families,” said Cynthia Oberkofler, executive director.

Millhill’s most significant growth over the past few years has been the increase in the numbers of children receiving services from the behavioral health program.

Thriving in Leadership Role for U.S. U-19 Lax Squad, Tiger Standout Sims Helps Americans to World Crown

F

or Austin Sims, playing on the U.S. squad for the 2016 U-19 Men’s World Lacrosse Championships is something that has been on his to-do list for years.

“In 2012 I was on a visit at the University of Virginia and I was checking the updates on Twitter and saw that they won,” said Sims, a rising junior midfielder for the Princeton University men’s lax team.

“I immediately realized that I will be eligible in four years so I thought it is something I definitely wanted to try to do.”

Sims applied to try out for the team and went through some tryout camps as the pool of players was pared from 105 to 50 to 30.

Earlier this year, Sims learned that he made the final cut, achieving his goal of getting to compete for the U.S. “I was honored, really happy, and really excited for the chance to be able to play for the gold medal for the U.S.A.,” said Sims, a 6’1, 185-pound native of Fairfield, Conn, who went on to score 23 goals for Princeton in the 2016 campaign and earn second-team All-Ivy League honors.

Sims served as a co-captain of the U.S. team, leading it to the gold medal as it rallied to beat host Canada 13-12 in the final and win its eighth straight U-19 world title.

In Sim’s view, the U.S. squad came together in its camp at Seattle in late June.

“We flew out to Seattle four or five days before the tournament actually started and had a couple of practices there,” said Sims.

“When we went to Seattle, we were all kind of living together in dorms with eight kids per room so that is when we really started to build relationships and team bonds.”

Being voted as one of the team’s two co-captains gave Sims a greater responsibility to get the U.S. on the same page.

“That was an awesome honor, I was really happy that my teammates thought that I would be one of the two guys to help lead the team through the process,” said Sims.

“I am more like a calm, cool, collected type of person; I am not going to get too high, I am not going to get too low during the games.

I want to really help people stay even keeled, even if we are losing. I try to make sure that everyone keeps working hard and doesn’t give up or get complacent.”

Although Sims distinguished himself this spring at Princeton with his shooting prowess, his offense took a backseat as the U.S. started competition at the world tourney.

“I played defensive midfield, which is different from what I have been playing at Princeton so it was a challenge at first,” said Sims. “I just accepted it and realized that was what I had to do to help the team.”

Sims enjoyed interacting with the different teams that made their way to British Columbia.

“There was a lot of excitement, a lot of buzz,” said Sims. “It was definitely cool to see these kids that play lacrosse from different countries that you never knew played lacrosse.”

Topping host Canada 12-5 in the opening game of the competition was an exciting experience for Sims and his teammates.

“We had lost to Canada in two scrimmages, one was to the Hill Academy but a lot of those kids were going to play in the Canadian team and then we lost to them in overtime in January,” noted Sims.

“They were our first game so we definitely wanted to come out and make a statement and beat them and then continue on through group play and then to the championship game.”

Getting to play with future Princeton teammate, incoming Tiger freshman Michael

Sowers, was a definite plus for Sims.

“It was awesome, Mike is a great kid,” said Sims. “I am really excited that he’s coming to Princeton. His quickness and explosiveness and his ability to feed both handed makes him special. He has great vision and is also just a tough kid, he will go to the goal hard.”

Going undefeated heading into the knockout stage of the competition, the U.S felt good about its chances to win an eighth straight U-19 world crown “We were really confident in the preparation that we put in,” said Sims. “We watched a lot of film and we had a lot of meetings. We had a really good game plan going into the semifinals and the finals.”

Initially, things didn’t go as planned in the title game as the U.S. found itself trailing host Canada 8-2 at halftime.

“They definitely were riding the emotion of the crowd: I think we were a little bit tight coming in knowing that

the USA hadn’t lost a U-19 championship game ever,” said Sims.

“They made some changes that were beneficial to them and also played a little bit better than they did in the first game. But credit also goes to everyone on the team and the coaches for coming together and realizing that it is a long game, there is definitely still time to come back.”

The U.S. came back in style in the second half, reeling off a 4-0 run in the waning stages of the contest to earn the victory, tallying the winning score with eight seconds remaining in regulation.

“People were just making plays when they needed to,” recalled Sims, reflecting on the dramatic rally.

“Our goalie, Willie Klan, made a couple of huge saves and cleared the ball well. Jared Bernhardt made a clutch goal, Mac O’Keefe had a clutch goal, and Ryan Conrad had the game winner.”

Sims made strides as a player and a person through helping the U.S. to the title.

“Playing a little bit more defense helped me there,” said Sims, who finished with a goal and four assists in the competition. “As a captain,

Rising junior midfielder Sims, who served as a co-captain of the U.S. squad, finished with a goal and four assists in the competition. just being a leader and being put out of my comfort zone a little bit helped me mature as a person. Meeting 24 other new friends was great, they are going to be friends for life.”

Looking ahead to his junior season at Princeton, Sims is psyched to hit the field with his college friends.

“I am super excited for what is going to happen next

year,” said Sims. “After getting some rest, I am going to start working out, running and just improving my stick skills; those are things that will help any lacrosse player get better. My scoring last season was big, I am definitely looking to keep that going. I am going to hit the field and take shots everyday and just keep improving.”

Incoming PU Men’s Lax Player Sowers Stars As U.S. Prevails at U-19 World Championships When Michael Sowers took the field last summer in the opening tryout for the U.S. team that was being picked to go to the 2016 U19 World Lacrosse Championships, he didn’t have great expectations.

“My goal going in was to get to the first camp and just show well,” said Sowers, an incoming Princeton University freshman attackman who enjoyed a recordsetting career at Upper Dublin High in Fort Washington, Pa. where he became one of the all-time leading scorers in the history of U.S. high school lacrosse.

“You get down there and there are some big name guys that you recognize. It is real nerve-wracking at first. In the beginning I was a little timid but seeing some of the other guys, I knew if I was going to have any shot of making it past that first

camp, I would have to be a little more confident. I was a little more aggressive in going to the net.”

Making it through that first camp, Sowers felt more and more comfortable as he went through the selection process.

“It is always like I have got to make a couple of plays early and once I get my confidence, that is when I really start having fun and enjoying it,” said Sowers.

“I definitely felt like I was able to fit in and mesh pretty well with the guys.”

S owers was ultimately picked for the squad and played very well, helping the U.S. win the tournament as it rallied to beat host Canada 13-12 in the championship game. The 5’9, 170-pound Sowers tallied 22 points on 11 goals and 11 assists and was named as one of three attackmen on the All-World

team.

Entering the competition, Sowers wasn’t focused on stats as much as giving the U.S. some fiery play around goal.

“I wanted to be able to create and draw slides and play within the offense,” said Sowers.

“But also just be an energy guy for the team and be a spark plug when needed.”

Posting a 12-5 win over Canada in the opening game of Blue division play helped spark the U.S. “We had lost a tough one to the Hill Academy (Canada) and then a really tough one in the winter to those guys,” said Sowers, who tallied two goals in the victory .

“To finally beat them was a huge confidence booster for us; it made that opening week a lot easier.”

Surrounded by so many talented players, Sowers found it easy to get into an offensive rhythm.

“The unique thing about it is that everybody is picked to do what they do best,” added Sowers.

“That was a big thing stepping out on the field and knowing I don’t have to do anything more than what my role is and if I just play within myself, I am going to do fine.”

Playing with future Princeton teammate, rising junior midfielder Austin Sims, was a big plus for Sowers.

“Austin is an awesome guy, with me being one of the younger guys, I think he looked out for me a little bit,” said Sowers.

“That was one of the cool things that I took away from the whole experience, just the fact that I got to play with him early. If I have any questions about school or anything like that, I will shoot him a text and he will get right back to me.”

Rolling into the championship game against host Canada, things weren’t looking good for the U.S. as it trailed 8-2 at halftime.

“From the outside perspective, everybody would think that it was a huge panic,” said Sowers.

“I came off to the sideline, it was just business as usual.

That was something I have never seen before, just how cool, calm, and collected everyone was. I think that was the difference maker.

It was the same routine and everyone stuck to it and we were ready to go in the second half.”

With Sowers contributing a goal and two assists in the third quarter, the U.S. outscored Canada 6-3 in the frame, turning the tide of the contest as it went on to pull out the dramatic 13-12 victory.

you have got to catch some breaks, especially being down like we were,” said Sowers.

“Going to fourth, even being still down, we had the momentum and we could feel that. Having the momentum going in there was really huge because it allowed us to play with confidence. Nobody panicked and everyone stuck to the script.”

The Hollywood ending for the U.S. left Sowers on an emotional high.

“It took me two days to finally wind down,” said Sowers. “It was really cool, putting in so much work and dedicating so much time to it just to have everything come full swing like that was truly unreal. You could not have asked for it to happen in any better fashion.”

In Sowers’ view, competing for the U.S. has given him a new perspective on dedication to the game.

“This has been one of the best years for my lacrosse career, just in the sense of

where I have got to go and the things I have learned,” said Sowers.

“I think the big thing it has taught me is just work ethic.

From the moment this thing started, I really dedicated myself to the whole process.

I put away last summer and just focused on that. It has really paid off and it was awesome.”

Sowers is excited to bring that work ethic to the Princeton men’s lax program.

“I fell in love with the campus and also being around the guys I saw how close of a bond it was with the team and it was pretty unique,” said Sowers, reflecting on his decision to come to Princeton.

“I also love the fact that it is so close to home; my grandparents and parents love to come out and watch me play. I am going to try to hit the ground running.

I am going to start lifting, get a stick back in my hand and start running again to get ready for fall ball.”

When Gevvie Stone decided to resume her rowing career after initially retiring in the wake of taking seventh in the women’s single sculls at the 2012 London Summer Games, the former Princeton University standout sensed that she had untapped potential that could result in an Olympic medal.

Juggling her studies at Tuf ts Universit y medical school, where she earned her MD in 2014, with her training on the Charles River in Boston, Stone’s intuition proved correct.

Moving up the ranks of world sculling over the last two years and qualifying this spring to represent the U.S. at the 2016 Summer Olympics, Stone, a 2007 Princeton grad, made waves in Rio. She placed first in her opening heat and second in the semifinals and capped her ride to glory by taking second in the finals last Saturday to earn a silver medal.

While Stone trailed winner Kim Brennan of Australia throughout the race, she made a gutsy late charge and put a scare into Brennan. Stone clocked a time of 7:22.92 over the 2,000-meter course at the Rodrigo de Freitas rowing venue in Rio with Brennan posting a winning time of 7:21.54.

Stone, 31, became the 20th Princeton rower to win an Olympic medal, and the second to win one in the women’s single sculls; Anne Marden ’81 also won a silver medal for Team USA in the 1988 Olympics.

After earning a bronze in the U.S. men’s four at the 2012 Summer Olympics, another former Tiger, Glenn Ochal ’08, put himself in position for another medal as he helped the men’s eight qualify for the finals with a win in the repechage (second chance) race. In the final on

Saturday, the U.S. boat took fourth, nearly three seconds out of the bronze medal position. Great Britain placed first to earn the gold medal with Germany coming in second and the Netherlands taking third.

Lauren Wilkinson ’11 suffered a similar fate as she competed for the Canadian women’s eight. That boat made it to the finals on Saturday, getting off to a strong start before fading to fifth.

The U.S. women’s eight, which trains out of Princeton University’s Shea Rowing Center on Lake Carnegie, pulled away to the win to earn its third straight gold medal with Great Britain placing second and Romania taking third.

Two other former Princeton rowers Taylor Nase ’13 and Robin Prendes ’11 saw their U.S. men’s lightweight four just miss out on making the A final as it placed fourth in its semifinal heat.

The boat went on to finish fourth in the B final last Thursday to take 10th overall. Kate Bertko ’06 and Devery Karz took 10th in the women’s lightweight double sculls, finishing fourth in their B final on Friday.

Over at the track, Donn Cabral ’12, produced a trademark late surge to place third in his opening round heat of the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase last Monday to advance in the competition. He clocked a time of 8:21.96 which was the third fastest overall in the three heats contested on the day.

Cabral who took eighth in the event in the 2012 Summer Olympics, will race in the finals on August 17.

Former Princeton women’s soccer star Diana Matheson ’08, who helped the Canadian women’s squad earn bronze at the 2102 London Summer Games, is in the hunt for another medal.

The star midfielder helped

Canada edge France 1-0 last Friday in the quarterfinals.

Canada is slated to face Germany in a semifinal contest on August 16 with the winner advancing to the gold medal match and the loser playing for the bronze on August 19.

Star goalie Ashleigh Johnson ’17 came up big for the U.S. women’s water polo team as it cruised past host Brazil 13-3. Johnson saved all six shots she faced inside the Olympic Aquatic Stadium during a dominating performance by the Americans. The U.S. led 10-0 at halftime and had a 13-0 lead after three quarters, when Johnson came to the bench for the remainder of the game. The U.S. will face Hungary in the semis on August 17 with gold medal and bronze medal matches slated for August 19.

The U.S. women’s field hockey team appeared to be headed for a medal run as it won its first four games of pool play and clinched a spot in the quarterfinals.

With Princeton standouts Kat Sharkey ’13 and the Reinprecht sisters, Katie ’13 and Julia ’14, all playing key roles, the U.S. defeated Argentina 2-1, Australia 2-1, Japan 6-1 and India 3-0.

But on Saturday, the U.S. squandered a 1-0 lead over Great Britain to lose 2-1 and end up second in Pool B. In its quarterfinal matchup last Monday against Germany, the third-place finisher in Pool A, the U.S. fell behind 2-0 and saw a late rally come up short in a 2-1 setback. Katie Reinprecht assisted on the U.S. goal as it ended its run in Rio. Princeton fencing standout Kat Holmes also came up just short of competing for a medal in the women’s team epee competition. Holmes, along with sisters Courtney and Kelley Hurley, fell 24-23 to Romania in the quarterfinals. The American trio ended the competition on a high note, topping France 32-28 and South Korea 22-18 in

the classification round to earn a fifth place finish overall in the competition.

PU Sports Roundup PU Men’s Lacrosse Adds March to Staff

Pat March, the architect of a University of Vermont offense that was among the nation’s best a year ago, has been named as an assistant coach for the Pr inceton University men’s lacrosse team.

March joins Jesse Barnhardt on the staff for firstyear head coach Matt Madalon.

As the offensive coordinator for the last three seasons at Vermont, March helped the Catamounts go from 55th in Division I in scoring offense to twice finishing 11th, including a year ago, when UVM averaged 12.35 goals per game.

Vermont also ranked in the top 15 nationally in all five offensive categories — scoring offense, shooting percentage, man-up offense, points per game, and assists per game. The Catamounts had their best season ever in 2016, reaching the America East championship game before falling by a goal.

March spent two seasons coaching at Div ision III Dickinson College, during which time the squad won two conference titles and made two NCAA tournament appearances. The team also set school records for goals, assists, and points.

He began his coaching career at Roanoke, his alma mater, in the 2011 season, when the Maroons reached the NCAA semifinals.

A two-time All-America attackman before graduating in 2010 with a degree in criminal justice, March ranks fourth all-time in Roanoke history in goals with 152, as well as fifth in points (243) and ninth in assists (91).

Tiger Men’s Track Promotes Abdullah

Robert Abdullah has been promoted to serve as an assistant coach with the Princeton University men’s track and field program, specializing in sprints and hurdles.

Abdullah has served as a volunteer coach for the Tigers for 12 years, working with the hurdlers. He replaces Marc Anderson, who has served as the sprints coach for the last two decades.

“I am very happy, humbled, and honored to be a part of the Princeton coaching staff,” said Abdullah.

“I look forward to building upon the success of my mentor, Coach Anderson, in helping our athletes to develop and achieve their fullest potential.”

A 1984 graduate of Glassboro State, Abdullah was a four-time All-America. During his senior year he was the 110-meter hurdles national champion, and won four NCAA Championships

with the Profs.

He still maintains three school records at Glassboro, now named Rowan University, in the indoor long jump, outdoor pentathlon, and outdoor shuttle hurdles. Abdullah is a member of the 1995 class of the Rowan Sports Hall of Fame.

This past spring, Abdullah coached Greg Leeper to a first place finish at the Ivy League Heptagonal Outdoor Championships with Spencer Long taking third and Jordan Myers coming in four th. Abdullah also coached Greg Caldwell to two runner-up finishes in the high hurdles both indoors and outdoors.

Abdullah has enjoyed great success with his indoor hurdlers. Every single 60-meter hurdler on the top-10 list was coached by Abdullah between 2003-16, including record holders Rob Mohr ’15 and Chris Vasich ’09. In 2009, Vasich became the second champion in Princeton history in the event.

Another one of his charges was two-time Heps runnerup Ray Lenihan ’06, who along with Caldwell, holds one of the fastest Ivy League times in Heps history in the 60-meter hurdles at 7.95.

“Just knowing that I have played against the best players, I know that whenever I go up against someone, I can play with them,” said Hamit, who is currently in the college recruiting process as he looks to play at the next level in the U.S. after graduating from PHS. “I shouldn’t have to be nervous or anything like that.”

Getting to mix with players from the other countries proved to be one of best things about the experience for Hamit.

“Before the tournament actually started, there was a big barbecue and all the teams came together and had a couple of burgers,” said Hamit.

“We were able to talk with each other and trade gear.

We didn’t have a village to stay in but when we were at the stadium, all the kids were talking to each other.

The Australian players became good friends with the Mexican team. By chance, we just always seemed to be together and they all spoke English. We had a great time with them.”

The most indelible aspect of competing for Australia for Hamit, though, was the great bonds he forged with his teammates.

“The thing that I really took the most from this tournament is the relationships that I made,” asserted Hamit.

“I made lifelong friends on the Australian team; we will always have a special connection. It is really what I enjoyed the most, just making relationships with new people and seeing how we are from different places but we all love lacrosse so much.”

As Chris Harla and his teammates on the Princeton Football Club ( PFC) U-19 United travel soccer team went though the 2015-16 season, they savored their time together.

“About half the team is going to be playing in college next year so it was the last year for a lot of us; it was a fun thing to play around,” said Harla, a star defender for the Princeton High boys’ soccer team who graduated in June.

“It wasn’t as much about winning, it was more about having fun and enjoying our last year.”

The United squad was created last season, combining players from club’s Metros and Chelsea squads, many of whom had been playing together since grade school.

Harla, a co-captain of the United, was joined on the team by a number of his PHS teammates including Cole Snyder, Chase Ealy, Owen Lindenfeldar, Dwight Donis, Jake Caddeau, Mark Petrovic, and Sam Serxner.

Benefitting from that lowkey approach, the United proved it could rise to the occasion as it ended up winning the New Jersey State Cup, topping the NLSA Raiders 3-0 in the title game.

The United had lost 5-2 to the Raiders in regular season play and were primed to turn the tables in the championship game.

“We all realized it was a

state final and we wanted to play the best that we could,” said Harla.

“I think honestly we just wanted it more than they did. Those guys all love soccer but I remember hearing them saying even if they had won the game they probably would not have gone to regionals. A lot of those guys were leaving and doing other things.”

The team’s defense benefited from the familiarity between Harla and his PHS teammates.

“We had Owen Lindenfeldar playing goal, Dwight Donis is back there, and Jake Caddeau is there,” said Harla.

“Dwight and I usually play the middle, depending on what formation we are playing. I have been playing with them my whole high school career; we know each other pretty well and how we play.”

Harla was thrilled to culminate his PFC career with the New Jersey title. “It is something that the club has never achieved before, it is the first State Cup win for PFC,” added Harla.

“It meant more than just winning for us, it meant winning for the whole club.

There are obviously some big academies around like Match Fit and PDA (Players Development Academy) so putting our name on the map and winning a State Cup meant a lot, not only for

MAKING HIS MARK: Chris Harla controls the ball and thwarts a foe in action last fall during his senior season for the Princeton High boys’ soccer team. Earlier this summer, star defender Harla helped the Princeton Football Club (PFC) U-19 United travel team win the New Jersey State Cup. This week, Harla is heading to Carnegie Mellon University to start preseason training for his freshman season with the men’s soccer program.

us as a team but more so for Stoyan (head coach and PFC founder Stoyan Pumpalov) and the entire club. Then it was going to the regionals and representing our small town.”

At the regional competition, which was held last month in Barboursville, West Va., the United went 1-2, falling 5-2 to Empire United Soccer Academy (N.Y.), topping Loudoun (Va.) 96 Red 3-1, and then falling 4-0 to ABGC Annandale (Va.).

“We were all really excited; we knew that the competition was going to be tough,” said Harla.

“We had practices three time a week for two or three weeks before regionals just to get prepared. We didn’t end up doing that well but I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. It was a very nice experience.”

It was good for the United to experience a victory in West Virginia. “That win against Loudoun really gave us a shot at making it into the semifinals,” said Harla.

“Unfor t u nately it d id n’t work out. As a team, we just didn’t play that well in the last game.”

For Harla, who is heading to Carnegie Mellon University where he will be playing for the men’s soccer team, playing against the high level competition at the regionals was an eye-opener.

“It showed me what college will be like, it will be a lot more intense,” said Harla.

“In that first game, they had four or five guys that had just finished seasons in college. There were some bigger players out there so I saw the strength and physicality of the college game.”

Harla, who was also considering Johns Hopkins and Connecticut College in the recruiting process, believes that Carnegie Mellon will be a good fit for him.

“When I was at Carnegie Mellon, I liked the feel I got from the school,” said Harla. “ T h e c o ac h ( B r a n d o n Bowman) was really nice and the players were all really nice when I was doing my visit. I really liked Pittsburgh. Those things led me to choose Carnegie Mellon.”

With Harla going to Pittsburgh this week for the start of preseason practice, he is looking to impress his coach and new teammates.

“I am ner vous and excited,” said Harla. “One of their top two center backs graduated last year. I am not going to assume that I am going to play but I am hoping that with preparation and everything that I will at least get on the field and hopefully make some starts.

We’ll have to see.”

With JAG Physical Therapy’s Princeton Office Thriving, Gallucci Aiming to Make Impact with N.J. Fitness Council

A s Joh n G a l lu cci, Jr. looked to expand his JAG Physical Therapy business, some personal history led him to consider the Princeton area.

“I have a close relationship in the area because my uncle taught for years at the Hun School,” said Gallucci, the president and CEO of JAG, which he founded in 2005.

“I have many colleagues in the sports medicine division at Princeton University.

I thought based on the quality of care we were giving, that Princeton would be an ideal location for growth.”

Starting at a site in Forrestal Village, the office has been a success, necessitating a recent expansion.

“Princeton has been outstanding for us, the community has adopted us as a resource for physical therapy care,” asserted Gallucci, noting that JAG now has 10 facilities in the New Jersey and one in New York City with another office set to open soon in Union County.

“We just relocated our clinic to a stand alone in the Forrestal Village. We used to be within Can-Do Sports but our demand and population of people that wanted to access us became so immense that we had to relocate to our own individual location.

We are excited about that and it has taken off wonderfully for us.”

Gallucci, who serves as a resource in his field statew ide, has been recently named as the Chair of the New Jersey Council on Physical Fitness and Sport.

“The goal is to make New Jersey healthy, the initiatives are based on fitness, nutrition, and sports safety,” said Gallucci, who started assisting with some of the group‘s programs in 2003 before getting appointed to the Council in 2008.

“It is very similar to the mission of the President’s Council, which is through general fitness, spor ts safety, and good nutrition we can combat the obesity, statistics, the diabetic statistics, and the cardiological statistics by living a healthier life.”

G allucci, 49, br ings a wealth of experience to that effort as he holds master’s degree in sports science and athletic training along with a Masters and Doctorate in physical therapy. He served as an athletic trainer at NYU for five years before heading to a similar position at Columbia University. He worked as a medical coordinator for the New York Knicks and as a trainer for the MetroStars and New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer (MLS). He currently serves as the medical coordinator of MLS. “My first job at NYU was very advantageous for me,” said Gallucci.

“I worked with a really great head athletic trainer John Eckel, who taught me the ropes of dealing with coaches and athletes. It was fantastic, it gave me a platform and a direction and professionalism that brought me to Columbia. I also worked with the New York Knicks for a couple of a years.”

Starting to work with the MetroStars, Gallucci has enjoyed a productive relationship with the league.

“I had a dear friend of mine that got involved with MLS with the Metro Stars,” recalled Gallucci, who authored a book titled, Soccer Injury Prevention and Treatment: A Guide to Optimal Performance for Players, Parents, and Coaches, in 2014.

“I went down to help him out on a rehab component and hit it off with the coaches and GM. One thing led to another and I ended up becoming a director of rehabilitation for them and their athletes. It was great because it was a new league, I was setting up a foundation. They definitely didn’t have people as experienced as me that worked in many different organizations so I became an asset to the league. The commissioner asked me to come into a position in MLS because he didn’t want to lose my expertise in different facets of pro sports, workman’s comp, policy writing, and he offered me a position in the league office as a medical coordinator.

In starting JAG, Gallucci aimed to give members of the general public the kind of treatment accorded to pro athletes.

“I think our approach is that it is not about treating the injury, it is about treating the individual,” explained Gallucci.

“Our philosophy has always been that we want to treat people the way we want to be treated and the way you would want someone to treat one of your family members.

With me coming out of pro

More information is available at nrf.ralleyme.com. sports for 25 years, I know professional athletes are treated unbelievably well and I wanted to bring that to the general public. I like to say that everyone in JAG Physical Therapy is treated as a VIP.” In his role as the chair of the New Jersey Council, Gallucci is looking to spread that philosophy into the daily fabric of life statewide.

“We have great opportunities to get the information out; the council is not just about spor ts,” said Gallucci.

“T he cou ncil is about grandpa and grandma having facilities and recreation centers to walk to and take care of their aerobic thresholds to make sure that their hearts are strong. It is very important for people who don’t have access to certain things to give them that access. Some of our inner cities of New Jersey do not have bike paths and do not have areas where people can jog.

Some of our parks are just green grass. It is important that a lot of recreation parks across the state have tried to put in different strengthening programs. With these different park exercise programs, I think what we have to realize is health doesn’t have to come from a gym membership, health has to come from people moving their bodies.”

Brian Wilfred Faughnan

Brian Faughnan of Wilmot, N.H. passed away on August 1, 2016. He was the son of Patrick J. Faughnan and Barbara Gordon Faughnan.

Quick witted, curious, and a life-long learner, Brian had a scientific mind and an appreciation for theater, dance, and music. He was always open to new perspectives, always reading across the disciplines, and seeking out new ways of asking age-old questions. Brian was always available to lead discussions about a broad range of topics including politics and religion.

Nature lured him. He ca-

ding anniversary this coming November.

He lived the first 24 years of his life in Montreal, graduating from McGill University with a degree in engineering physics. Graduate school brought him south of the border, to Cambridge, Mass., where he completed his PhD in physics at MIT. Right out of graduate school, he started his first and last job as a research physicist in Princeton. The company changed names a few times, but he worked happily in the same lab space for 40 years, receiving several awards for his research accomplishments. Retirement in 1999 was a smooth transition.

Brian and Barbara designed their new home in Wilmot, N.H. and quickly embedded themselves in the local community.

Brian is survived by his wife Barbara Faughnan (Bunker), daughter Kelly Faughnan, son-in-law, Bjarne Holmes; siblings: Frank Faughnan of Ste. Anne, PQ, Lou Kelly of St. Sauveur, PQ, and Barbara Anger and her husband David of San Francisco, Calif. Also surviving is his sister-in-law Betty Lovejoy of Concord, N.H. and Sally Smith of Ft. Myers, Fla. and many nieces and nephews and grand- nieces and nephews.

A future memorial gathering will be held at their home in September. Memorial contributions can be directed to the Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust, 71 Pleasant St., New London, N.H. and Lake Sunapee Region VNA and Hospice, 107 Newport Road, New London, NH 03257.

Obituaries

noed, rowed, hiked, biked, skied, snowshoed, and camped. We remember him hiking up Mount Washington in winter and cycling up Mount Washington in summer, cross country skiing in fresh new powder, or rowing a single scull on Kezar Lake.

He devoted much of his energy and intellect to preserving the natural environment and promoting access with Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust, the Wilmot Conservation Committee, and t he SR K Greenway Coalition. He could often be found at his computer, crunching GIS data to create the SRK Greenway Trail Guide maps.

We remember Brian entertaining friends and family, preparing gin and tonics, and cooking on the grill. Or he was in his study completing a project, or teaching himself a new gadget or technology. Reading or working at his computer, there was usually a purring cat by his side.

Brian spent a lot of time in the company of his wife Barbara, his only daughter Kelly, and since 2001, his son-in-law, Bjarne Holmes, as well as extended family and friends. Barbara and Brian were together for over 50 years, and would have celebrated their 50th wed-

Jean Haws Brown Jean Haws Brown, 89, died peacefully in hospice care at Merwick Care Center on Friday, August 12. A sudden two-week bout of pneumonia and respiratory failure foiled her plan to stick it out through December to see a grandson, Ray, graduate from Mercer County Community College with honors in math and science courses.

Jean was born in Stamford and raised in in Greenwich, Conn. She was educated at Rosemary Hall and Miss Hall’s before graduating from Smith College in 1948. At Smith she was No. 1 in her class freshman year, and Phi Beta Kappa based on sophomore year grades, spending a junior year abroad in postwar Europe.

Golf, gardening, and travel gave a great deal of pleasure to Jean, a longtime member of Springdale Golf Club. She was fearless and thorough in a quiet way. In her 70s she was photographed with a long green snake around her neck at a snake charmer’s stall in Tangiers. In her 80s she allowed both of her teenage grandsons to live with her in her home (one at a time) so they could attend Princeton High School. Both graduated.

She is survived by her daughter Gay Miller of New York City and son Peter Miller of Honolulu; grandsons Brian Ray Miller of Princeton and Sean Charles Miller of Tokyo; her sister Gabriella Woese of Atlanta, and her brother Robert Haws of Kaneohe, Hawaii. She was predeceased by her parents, Gabriella Spooner Dunn and Henry Ernst Haws.

Her ashes will be buried in Trinity-All Saints’ cemetery with those of her second husband, George Brown, and her deceased son Douglas Haws Miller.

In lieu of flowers or a service, donations may be made in her memory to a charity of your choice.

Arrangements were under the direction of the MatherHodge Funeral Home.

He was born in Philadelphia, Pa. on June 22, 1931, went to Frankfurt High School, and then Bryn Mawr College before serving as a Tank commander in the U.S. Army. After leaving the army, he was married to Edith Peters, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and began his career in marketing, advertising, and public relations with General Electric. He spent many years with N.W. Ayer, one of the country’s largest advertising agencies, as a vice president, managing some of the firm’s largest accounts. He retired from American Cyanamid Co. in 1991 as director of marketing communications: agricultural division. Tom was

The Rasers began coming to Naples in 1991 and owned a condo on Vanderbilt Beach where Tom served on the Board of Directors as vice president and president. They became permanent residents of the Vistas at Bonita Bay in June 1998 after living in Princeton since 1962.

Laura Ann Burger

Laura Ann Burger died quietly in her sleep in the early hours of August 10, 2016 at The University Medical Center at Princeton.

Born and raised in New Jersey, she graduated from South Brunswick High School in 1973 and received her Associates Degree from Thomas A. Edison College in 1994. She worked for Dun and Bradstreet as a senior programmer for 15 years.

Health issues forced her to retire earlier than she would have liked, but she kept her life full with friends and family. Her varied interests included travel, reading, crossword puzzles, music, and movies. She also played a ruthless game of Scrabble, mostly whipping her usual adversary (Dad) mercilessly.

Beloved daughter of Gloria and Raymond Burger and

She was a very special aunt, supportive, kind, and generous in all ways. Her brotherin-law, Giovanni Gaudioso, aunt, Christina Tercy, and cousins Trish Vine, Laureen Cannella, Michael Tercy, Barbara Burger, Christine Trotta, and Raymond Burger were all very special to her.

Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 13, 2016 at St. Augustine of Canterbury Church, 45 Henderson Road, Kendall Park.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A LANDLORD? If you're like a lot of sellers whose homes haven't sold by the end of the summer, renting your property may seem like a better option than lowering your price; after all, with high rents and plenty of renters, what's not to love? Unfortunately, being a landlord isn't that simple.

Being a landlord is a job – often, a very frustrating and thankless one. And sometimes, even tenants who seem to be good candidates can wind up causing you major headaches. Landlordtenant laws in N.J. Are pretty stringent, and unless you know what you're doing, you can get in over your head very quickly.

Plus, there's a lot more to renting than just posting a listing on a website. You need to have your home inspected and permitted to operate as a rental, and you may need to make certain modifications before you can turn bring in a tenant. Income tax on rental income is complex, and it's very easy to make a truly costly mistake.

Sure, owning rental properties can be lucrative – but only if you know what you're doing. If your house hasn't sold, a better strategy is to lower your price and position it for the fall and holiday markets.
