Mayor and council seats up for grabs
Fighting forward
Ewing zoning officer reflects on development
by bill SanServino

by kellie C. murpHy Modern housing complexes, new office developments and parks and recreation upgrades happen constantly in today’s world. Even with new technology, it’s difficult these days to connect us all efficiently through real estate while remaining visually attractive and environmentally sound. There are professionals in real estate whose job it is to see that bigger picture and sort all of that complexity out: a talented and dedicated urban planner. Charles Latini, who works as the township planner and zoning officer as well as the executive director of the Ewing Township Redevelopment Agency, is one of the key people in town whose job it is to visualize that big picture when it comes to land use planning. But that’s not the Ewing native’s only role. He also serves as the president of the New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association-an 1,100-member organization of mostly licensed planners, which is focused on members doing training and continuing education. As a board, the NJAPA will respond to different pieces of legislation that relate See LATINI, Page 6

Production tells the story of American pioneers by roSS amiCo The American pioneers. They had no smartphones. No Starbuck’s. No convenience stores. Instead, unknown perils, punishing weather and sudden illness were facts of daily life. Provisions may have run short, but through determination, grit and the efforts of a tight-knit community, they were able to get by.
Their story is told in Pioneer Songs, Ewing resident Eric Houghton’s epic meditation on the courage and resilience of those Americans who blazed the western frontier. The historical oratorio will be presented at Patriots Theater at the Trenton War Memorial on Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Houghton’s cycle of 15 symphonic songs for vocal soloists, choir and narra-
tor celebrates the first successful passage of wagon trains to California in the 1840s. The genesis of the piece grew out of an extraordinary teacherstudent relationship between Houghton, who teaches at Westminster Choir College, and Robert Marquis, who had just begun to take piano lessons at Westminster. See HOUGHTON Page 8
Ewing voters will cast ballots for mayor, two open seats on township council and three seats on the township school board in the Nov. 6 general election. In the municipal election, incumbent Mayor Bert Steinmann, a Democrat, is seeking election to his third four-year term. Running with him for fouryear council seats are Democratic incumbents Cathy Wollert, who has served on council since 1995, and Sara Steward, who is finishing her first term. No Republicans filed to run against the incumbents, but the three are being challenged by independents running under the slogan, “For a better Ewing.” Running for mayor is Ron Prykanowski, a stalwart of local politics. His council candidate running mates are Dick LaRossa, a former state senator, and newcomer Kate McKinley. Meanwhile, in the race for three seats on the Ewing school board, two incumbents—Anthony Messina and Lisa McConnell— are running unopposed. No one filed for election to the seat currently held by Maria Benedetti, who is not running for re-election. That seat is open to write-in candidates, and there is no minimum amount of votes for a write-in. The person who gets the most votes would capture the seat. The Observer’s election coverage begins on Page 10.

around town $59.3 million school bond referendum passes Ewing voters overwhelmingly approved a $59.3 million bond referendum yesterday to pay for vital repairs and improvements to township schools. Roughly 74 percent voted in favor of the referendum, according to unofficial election results from the Mercer County Clerk’s office. However, less than 7 percent of eligible voters — 1,612 out of 24,459 — cast their ballot in the Oct. 2 referendum. This was the first major bond issue to be proposed by the district since it built Parkway Elementary School almost 25 years ago. School officials said the referendum will not impact taxes due to bonds that are either paid off or nearing that point. According to calculations, the overall average tax impact over the next four years will be a savings of $185. The referendum will pay for school safety and security enhancements, including improvements to fire alarm systems, alert systems, security upgrades and asbestos abatement. Structural upgrades — roof replacement and restoration and exterior door and hardware replacement — are also included in the referendum. Other repairs and upgrades include classroom ventilation improvements, and the addition of 200 parking spots at Ewing High to improve traffic flow. On the district’s Facebook page promoting the referendum, school officials thanked those who voted in the election to help create safer, healthier and more modern schools for Ewing students.
State opens affordable apartment building The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs celebrated the ribbon cutting of a 14-unit apartment building in Ewing on Oct. 18 for working families
improve existing transitional housing and homeless shelters. The funds for this project were awarded to Homes by TLC, Inc., a nonprofit agency. They partner with HomeFront, Inc., a nonprofit group focused on breaking the cycle of poverty and ending homelessness in Central Jersey. HomeFront will provide an array of support including job coaching and preparedness, daycare, a food and furniture bank, as well as life skills training and case management. “This project is such a wonderful example of what can happen when government, corporations and private citizens come together to make a real difference in the lives of working families in New Jersey,” Connie Mercer, executive director of HomeFront, said in a statement.

The Revere Restaurant provided free dinners restaurant has leased a 2,700-square-foot dinner for the winners. of limited financial means and for homeless households. The garden-style apartments are located on Sullivan Way in a residential neighborhood of multi-family rental properties and single-family homes. Originally built in 1959, the two-story apartment building was renovated with updated kitchens and bathrooms; new appliances; upgraded hot water heaters, electrical wiring, pipes, and plumbing fixtures; new or repaired doors; and updated boilers. Most of the apartments can accommodate large families. The apartment mix consists of six four-bedroom units, four three-bedroom units, three two-bedroom units, and one one-bedroom unit. All the apartments are affordable to
households below 80 percent of area median income, which is $71,900 for a family of four in Mercer County. Some of the apartments are affordable to families below 50 percent and 30 percent of AMI, which is $49,450 and $29,650 respectively for a family of four. Additionally, three of the units are set aside for transitional housing to help people who are homeless move into permanent, affordable housing. DCA awarded $1.55 million in HOME Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) funds and $100,000 in Shelter Support grants for the project. HOME funding is designed to create affordable housing for lowincome households and Shelter Support grants provide money to renovate and
space in the plaza, according to commercial real estate services firm Levin Management Corporation. “Pork Chop’s BBQ has experienced great success at its original Flemington location, and this restaurant operator felt the timing was right to expand its popular brand,” LMC senior leasing representative Andrea Kyriacou, who arranged the lease. The menu at Pork Chop’s BBQ includes ribs, chicken, beef and seafood dishes, along with appetizers, salads, sandwiches, desserts, daily specials and a children’s menu. Patrons can dine in or take out, with catering available, as well. Meats are cooked over the restaurant’s charcoal fire pit and include customer favorites like homemade chouriço (Portuguese sausage) and Hawaiian barbecue pork.

What’s scarier than a lung screening? Telling your loved ones that you should have gotten one sooner. If you’ve been smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for the past 20 to 30 years, getting your lungs checked is a scary proposition. But getting a low-dose CT scan to detect the early stages of lung cancer can mean you’re less likely to give your friends and family the worst news of all. An experienced Lung Nurse Navigator will be with you every step of the way. If you qualify, the screening is covered by Medicare and most insurances.

HOUGHTON continued from Page 1 “He had just bought a nine-foot grand piano, so he was very excited about taking lessons,” says Houghton. “I had written a couple of short piano pieces. One I just called ‘Folk Song’ and another was called ‘Cradle Song.’ My wife and I had just had our first baby. These two I’d given to him to take home to play, and he came back after a week or two and said, ‘Eric, these pieces are terrific. They have this early American kind of folk sound to them. I’ve always wanted to write a show about the West, maybe pioneers. What do you think?’ I said sure. So we started exchanging ideas. It was just one thing after another, and within six months, we had 15 songs, the entire show, written.” Marquis produced the show and delivered the narration himself. He also paid for a recording that they peddled on a television infomercial that would air in the early morning hours. Sadly, six months later, Marquis died of a heart attack at the age of 48. The original version of Pioneer Songs earned Houghton a 1993 ASCAP Meet the Composer Award. While he had it in the back of his mind that he might want to do something more with the piece, it would be more than two decades before he would embark on an ambitious revision. “It just kind of sat until about two and half years ago, when I met with the original soprano, Joy Bechtler,” he says. “We had coffee, and she was discussing a possible performance. I had handwritten some orchestration years ago, but
Ewing resident Eric Houghton plays the piano. The composer’s historic oratorio, “Pioneer Songs,” will be performed at Patriots Theater at the Trenton War Memorial on Nov. 10. nothing had really been done with it. Something about the meeting with Joy just spurred my interest, and I said, I’ve just got to spend the time and do it. So that’s what I did that whole winter of 2016. I added a chorus to eight of the
movements and expanded the orchestration. Not that I expanded the songs so much, per se, but just the whole orchestration and chorus made it a whole different animal, really.” The revised version was given
its world premiere at the Princeton Meadow Road Arts and Events Center in May. A Houghton colleague at Westminster, Ruth Ochs, conducted the Westminster Community Orchestra, Westminster Community Chorus, and Pennsbury Chamber Choir. “The orchestra was very enthusiastic about the piece,” Ochs notes. “We all found ourselves after the May concert humming the melodies for days. The musical idiom is very accessible. People were asking us if it had ever been recorded.” In the audience happened to be James Bushong. “He’s the director of the Patriots Arts Coalition,” Ochs says, “which is a committee that brings performances to the Trenton War Memorial and the Patriots Theater. He thought that this might be a very appropriate work for that space. Because of his efforts and inspiration, we decided that we would perform it again at the War Memorial.” Ochs is in her 13th year as conductor of the Westminster Community Orchestra. Houghton has been at Westminster Conservatory for 34 years. His duties include “teaching piano, mostly, and some composition, and doing a lot of arranging.” The upcoming Trenton performance will feature guest soprano Carla Maffioletti. She first achieved fame through her association with André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra, an ensemble that draws much of its repertoire from the classics, yet manages to attract rockand-pop-magnitude audiences.
Paid for by Friends of Bert Steinmann, Sam Gaylord, Treasurer, 850 Bear Tavern Road, Suite 308, Ewing, NJ 08628

Maffioletti first appeared with Rieu in 2002. Her performances have graced many of the Johann Strauss Orchestra’s CDs, DVDs and PBS broadcasts. Concurrently, she has maintained an active schedule in European opera houses, singing some of the most challenging coloratura roles. In 2014, it was announced that she would be leaving the Johann Strauss Orchestra to focus on her operatic career. For “Pioneer Songs,” she will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with soprano Kathee Zenn and mezzo-soprano Miranda Landers-Smith, both graduates of Westminster Choir College, lyric tenor Jeremy Blossey, and bass-baritone Martin Hargrove. Nancy Froysland-Hoerl will narrate the perils and triumphs of the 1840s pioneers. The Westminster Community Orchestra will be joined by a hundred voice choir, made up of the Westminster Community Chorus, prepared by Sinhaeng Lee and the Ewing-based Glassbrook Vocal Ensemble, which is directed by Chaequan Anderson. “They’re a professional ensemble, a 30 voice choir that’s absolutely stunning,” Ochs says of Glassbrook. “We also have members of the community who are not in the Community Chorus who will be joining us just for this proj-
ect. Eric’s wife is a church choir director. Members of her choir will join forces with other alumnae from Westminster.” Ochs adds that Pioneer Songs was the largest premiere she has ever conducted, in terms of both the forces involved and the length of the piece. It will also be her first time conducting at the Trenton War Memorial. Those involved with the production say they hope the public will take advantage of this special evening. “Community is so important,” Houghton says, “the whole idea of doing something together. Only 20 families, doing what they did, and they all made it, on this initial journey to California. We have a new mayor in Trenton, we have a new governor. We are trying to get some revitalization for Trenton. It can help if we start utilizing that theater, which is just an amazing space. I know James [Bushong] is trying to get more things coming into the War Memorial like there used to be. This is a piece that can reach a wider audience. People just love it.” In addition to her duties with the Westminster Community Orchestra, Ochs conducts the Princeton University Sinfonia. She is associate conductor of the Princeton University Orchestra and director of small ensembles at Prince-
Houghton wanted to do something more with the piece, but it would be more than two decades before he embarked on a revision.
ton. She makes her home in Lawrence Township with her husband, cellist Tomasz Rzeczycki, and their two sons. Houghton has lived in Ewing with his family for almost 30 years. He and his youngest daughter are involved in Meals on Wheels in Trenton. He enjoys sports, but says music consumes most of his time. His wife, Carol, is music director at Ewing Presbyterian Church, for which he writes anthems. For the past three decades, Houghton himself has also been director of music at Saint Adalbert and Saints Peter and Paul, a combined Catholic church, in Elizabeth. His historical oratorio about the triumph of the American spirit will be enhanced by projected images. Ochs finds added resonance in the fact that the work will be performed on Nov. 10. “It happens to be the eve of the Armistice,” she says, referring to the end of World War I, on Nov. 11, 100 years ago. “The concert is being presented at the Trenton War Memorial, built in honor of those who served in World War I. It will be a great coming together of musicians from our community in a piece that was locally nurtured by Eric and Bob Marquis. It’s just a wonderful occasion of musical elements from Mercer County coming together in probably one of the premier concert halls in the area. “The topic may be 19th century, the 1840s, about perseverance and what everybody overcame going out west, but it’s a message that speaks today in new contexts that we’re confronting all the time.”

He is a retired worker and pension fund administrator for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 269 and holds a degree in electrical engineering from Trenton Technical Institute. He was a member of Ewing Township Council between 2000 and 2010 and took office as mayor in January 2011. Steinmann has served on the Ewing Recreation Commission, the board of trustees for the Greater Trenton YMCA, the board of directors for the Mercer ARC and was president of the West End Soccer Association. *** The Ewing Observer asked both of the candidates a series of five questions. Their responses appear below.
Two candidates are running for the job of mayor of Ewing Township: incumbent Bert Steinmann and challenger Ron Prykanowski. Prykanowski, 75, is a 28-year resident of Ewing who currently lives in Harrop Manor and is running as an independent. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University and works as a real estate broker and is a retired municipal purchasing agent. His children attended the East Windsor Regional Schools District. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and Fraternal Order of Police. He was a Hightstown Borough councilman for 1.

it didn’t meet the parameters set by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Now it’s going to be more of a private community. The only part that will be open to the public will be the retail portion along Parkway Avenue. Olden Avenue is our true town center. As a realtor, I can tell you that anyone who wants to locate in Ewing wants to be along Olden Avenue. Olden Avenue needs to be given more attention. The Ewing Township Redevelopment Agency had its genesis as the Olden Avenue Redevelopment Committee. As for the Naval Air Warfare Center, its redevelopment is long overdue. And this is where visionary thinking comes in. The NAWC is between the airport and the railroad. The owner should tear down those buildings, which have no use and repurpose those that do. The owner should ask CSX to put in a rail siding for one of the buildings. Since this property is next to the airport, it can be very easily used for air freight. The NAWC would become an economic engine. Steinmann: Finally! After a lot of hard work finalizing details involving Silvia Street and the upgrades to the utility infrastructure, as well as getting the property out of GM’s hands and into the developer’s, Ewing Town Center is proceeding and construction has, in-fact begun. Olden Avenue continues to see progress with the recent opening of MedExpress, Walgreens and the redevelopment of the former extension patio store into a retail store. Team Toyota will also be locating a portion of its operation within the old Grainger building with building upgrades currently being reviewed by our code office. We have also made progress getting the Big Bear Natural Food store (former Carvel) closer to opening. As many are beginning to notice, our streetscape is improving. From Aldi to the new MedExpress to Sonic, this is what the improvements would look like once implemented across the entire corridor. Over the next year new projects we will also be unveiling additional projects that are currently in the conceptual stage. The Naval Air Warfare Center, however, is a bit more challenged. While some may have heard Walmart was a prospective tenant for the site—and the controversy that may have come from that—it is dead. We are currently working on a plan that involves both a hotel and an arts and cultural center. While it is in a very conceptual stage, we believe it would be a great fit for the Ewing Town Center. 3. Are there any areas of the township budget where you would look to cut expenses? Are there any areas where you feel the township needs to spend more? Prykanowski: If I am elected mayor, everything is on the table for examination. I will first ask for a full audit of the full-time fire fighters. We are now receiving a SAFER grant, which helps to defray some of the payroll costs. However, when this grant has ended, we need to examine the cost versus benefits of full-time firefighters. We may not have enough ratables to defray these increased costs to our taxpayers. I would much rather increase the donations to our volunteers. After all, volunteer firefighters have served this community honorably for over 150 years. Steinmann: I think we have been running a pretty tight budget since coming into office and erasing the $7-plus million hole we had to overcome. Now we need to continue to invest in our future and build upon our great assets. We need to continue to pay attention to our parks, in fact, we are beginning a park master plan that will guide the future investments we need to make and how we then begin to budget them over the next 5-10 years.
The recent improvements to Moody Park with upgraded football and basketball facilities and a new and improved dog park in Banchoff Park are just the start. We will continue to seek grants for road paving projects, such as those that allowed us to repave Federal City Road and Green Lane. Buttonwood drive will be completed this spring. In our constant search for new revenue and grant opportunities, we received a $1 million SAFER Grant, which has offset the cost of ensuring our emergency response teams have what they need to protect the township. We will continue to explore opportunities that help us to keep moving Ewing forward.

5. Communication between the township and its residents is important. How do you feel the township can better communicate with the people who live and work in Ewing? Prykanowski: We need better communication with the residents. Their quality of life depends on it. I will hold meetings around the township and invite council to be there with me. I believe that more citizens will come out to these meetings that don’t come out to a regular council meeting. Steinmann: While technology changes daily, we have made a lot of progress in this regard. With reverse 911 calls, the Ewing police and township Facebook sites, as well as digital signage added to the Ewing Community Center and the West Trenton Fire Station, I believe that we are communicating in very effective ways.

ELECTION 2018 - Ewing School Board Compiled by Bill Sanservino
bsanservino@communitynews.org
Two incumbents on the Ewing School Board, Lisa McConnell and Anthony Messina, are running for three open seats. A third board member may be elected if they receive write-in votes. not runnign for reelection this year is Maria Benedetti. McConnell, 48, has lived in Ewing for her entire life, and is a third-generation resident of the township. She lives in the Prospect Heights section of town with her daughters, Allyson, a senior at EHS, and Katelyn, a sophomore at the school. They both attended Antheil and Fisher Middle School. She graduated from Ewing High School and holds a bachelor’s in communications from Trenton State College (now The College of New Jersey). McConnell has been in sales for most of her career, and she currently works as a territory sales manager for the New Jersey region of a national window coverings company. Messina, 52, is a retired Ewing Township police officer and is currently employed by the Township of Ewing as an inspector in the Code Enforcement Department. A graduate of the Ewing Public Schools, he attended Trenton State College and Mercer County Community College. A native of Ewing, Messina grew up in the Prospect Heights
section of town and currently lives with his wife, Kim, in the old Ewingville section of the township. His daughter currently attends the Ewing School District. Messina is a former coach of the EHS football program and a member of the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame Committee. A former member of the Ewing Township Drug and Alcohol Alliance, he serves as a volunteer firefighter with the Prospect Heights Volunteer Fire Company No. 1. *** The Observer posed five questions to McConnell and Messina regarding issues pertaining to the school district. Their answers appear below. 1. Why did you run for reelection to the school board? McConnell: The past three years serving on the school board have been very rewarding for me. I am very proud of the work that we have done to make sure our schools are safe and successful. Being involved in my daughters’ education has always been a major priority for me and serving on the board ensures that I am helping to make the best decisions for all students and staff in the district. I went through the Ewing school system myself and it is really great to be able to give back to the community that helped shape me into the person I am today. I look forward to working with the district administration and other board members for three more years of successful endeavors.
Messina: I am running for re-election to the Board of Education because I understand that education is the key to success, and that growing future leaders starts with the commitments we make to the young people of our community. As the current vice president of the board, I understand the importance of making decisions and enacting policies that affect all of our students. I am running for re-election so that I may continue to work with my fellow board members and the school district as a whole to continue fiscal support, increase accountability and transparency and be a part of responsible pro-active budgetary allocations. I want to assist in continuing to provide our teachers, staff and administrators with all of the tools necessary for them to be effective in working with our students. 2. Parental involvement in their child’s education is important. What can the district do to help get parents more engaged with their children’s academic efforts? McConnell: I believe being involved in your child’s academic efforts is a choice parents have to make themselves. Most research shows that parental involvement in school improves behavior, attendance and overall student achievement. I think the district does a very good job of providing tools for parents to be involved. At the younger ages parent conferences are scheduled early in the year to address any issues teachers are concerned with
or parents may have. At the high school level there are multiple programs held for parents in the evenings on topics such as college planning, financial aid, PSAT/SAT testing, etc. We have also held outreach events for our ESL families to help them become familiar with the programs available to their children. All of our schools have parent organizations that meet regularly to raise funds and plan events for students. As a parent with children in the district, I have always found the staff and administration to have an open door policy for parents to address issues and get information. For parents that choose to be involved, many opportunities are in place. They just need to be taken advantage of. Messina: We need to continue to encourage parents to be pro-actively involved in their children’s education. Communication is the key to engaging parents to become more involved. Contact between parent, teacher and student is extremely important. 3. What is one challenge facing the school district that you believe deserves more attention? McConnell: I think school districts across the country are all facing the increasing concerns about our students’ mental health. In Mercer County, we have seen tragedy strike multiple times in the teen demographic. It is an issue that is very real but not always talked about in an open forum. I currently serve on a district task force that is dedicated to focusing on student mental and emotional well being.

In addition we are looking for ways to reduce the increasing amount of stress students are facing in a highly competitive academic and athletic environment. The administration has hired additional counselors at each of our schools that are trained in specifically dealing with mental health situations. I don’t think this issue can get enough attention. The district has made good strides to try and combat this critical subject, and I would like to see continued resources and education in the future dedicated to it. Messina: We must be able to continue to maintain the school district’s current educational services and programs within the State of New Jersey’s 2 percent cap law.

FOOD & DINING
Pho, flautas, beer bars: area restaurant scene shakeup continues By Joe Emanski
jemanski@communitynews.org
Few retail sectors are as dynamic as the restaurant business, but even accepting that as a given, the scene in and around Mercer County has been changing in dramatic fashion over the past year. In is international cuisine: as I wrote several months ago, the area has seen an rapid influx of restaurants whose main attraction is Asian noodles. No fewer than five restaurants have opened in the area in 2018 with “ramen” in the name. Usually that means a focus on Japanese cuisine, ramen being Japan’s traditional dish of noodles and protein in broth. But not always: recently I circled back to try the food at Lan Ramen (4 Hulfish St., Princeton; 609-356-0383), which I missed the first time around. Despite the name, Lan Ramen is a Chinese restaurant. It does serve a dish called ramen, but many of the dishes feature the restaurant’s hand-pulled noodles, which are made in house. Many Yelpers have highlighted the crispy spicy chicken and the soup dumplings, but I had to try the noodles, and went for the shredded chicken with noodles ($13), which comes with an array of
The bar at Hamilton Tap and Grill (Facebook photo.) raw vegetables and is served cold, without broth. The noodles were unlike anything I’ve had in the area: to say they are “chewy” doesn’t do them justice. Taking a bite is to immediately understand a dish in which the noodles are the heart of the dish, and not just a conveyance for a sauce. Mixing the chicken and vegetables in with the noodles gave each bite a pleasing variety of flavor and texture. A week later I went back for the Lanzhou beef noodles ($14), which I also
enjoyed. These do come in broth with daikon and leeks. The noodles remained the star of the dish, but now had to contend with the broth for primacy. I like noodles in broth, so probably slightly favored the second dish, but I don’t think you could go wrong with either choice. It looks like the next wave for Asian noodles will be pho, a Vietnamese take on noodles and protein in broth. For a few years, the only real pho option in the area was Pho Friendly (originally known as Pho Tan; 729 Brunswick Ave., Trenton; 609-599-8727), which I wrote about in June. But this year it has been joined by two competitors: Baguette Bistro (319 U.S. 130 N., East Windsor; 609-490-0839), which opened in February and whose menu features Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches as well as pho; and The Pho Spot (301 N. Harrison St., Princeton; 609-3560064), which opened last month in Princeton Shopping Center. I stopped into Baguette Bistro recently to order the beef combo (brisket and eye round, $8.50). It was good, although I did not feel like the flavor of the beef broth had as much depth as that of Pho Friendly. The beef was tender and the rice noodles plentiful. I had to ask for cilantro, which had been left out of my bowl, but they cheerfully provided it upon request.
I haven’t been back for the sandwiches or their other Vietnamese dishes, but they are well reviewed on Yelp. I was surprised last month when I heard that The Pho Spot had opened in Princeton. I had driven by only a few days before and seen the sign above the storefront, but all looked dark inside. If only I had tried the door: it turns out owner Tom Le was in soft-opening mode as he looked to test his recipes and the palates of the locals before making a splash with any kind of grand opening. The Pho Spot, like many restaurants in Asia, is focused almost totally on pho. The only other thing on the menu is three kinds of Vietnamese spring rolls (salmon, shrimp or tofu, $2.50 for one with dipping sauce). Le, a native of Vietnam who grew up in Tinton Falls, has traveled extensively in his native country, sampling pho on every trip. The Pho Spot offers both beef and veggie broth with a variety of protein options, some traditional, some not. I went with brisket and flank steak in beef broth ($10 small bowl, $13 large), but I could have ordered tofu, chicken, shrimp, beef balls or for a $3 upcharge, oxtails, filet mignon or short ribs. The broth was probably the best I’ve had in the area so far. It reminded me

of the broth at Pho 75 in South Philadelphia, and I enjoyed it all the more when Le told me that he makes it without MSG. As someone who is sodium sensitive, I can say it was the least salty Asian noodle dish that I’ve had this year. The Pho Spot is tiny, with only 19 seats—so small that Le doesn’t even have room to serve his steaming bowls with the traditional dish of condiments. He includes the basil and mung bean sprouts in the broth, leaving only the lime wedge and jalapeños off to the side. An Asian restaurant that I haven’t yet had a chance to try is Liu Yi Shou Hotpot (3349 Brunswick Pike, Lawrence; 609-917-9433), which opened last year next to Mercer Mall. Hot pot is a Chongqing phenomenon in which diners dip their own ingredients into a shared simmering pot of broth to cook and eat. I’ve also written recently about the growth of the Mexican food scene in the area, and since I wrote about tacos earlier in the year, another restaurant has opened featuring Mexican favorites: La Taqueria (1143 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrence; 609-882-2273). La Taqueria is a tiny little spot between Mexico Linda grocery and Tastee Sub Shop. My measure of a Mexican restaurant is the tacos, and La Taqueria had some of the best that I’ve tried so far. I opted for tacos al pastor ($8), three doubled-up corn tortillas full of tender marinated pork, onions and cilantro, with sliced radishes and lime wedges on the side—the traditional way. The smooth corn tortillas could be the best gateway I’ve seen so far for people
who think they only like flour tortillas. I also have to make mention of La Taqueria’s salsas, both the smoky red and the brightly flavored verde, which are served with complimentary housefried tortilla chips. They were both among the best salsa I’ve had in the area. I have also heard that they have excellent flautas, but I have not tried them myself. And finally, even the traditional American restaurants that have opened recently are going for something different. I was struck by the similarities between Old Town Pub (135 Farnsworth Ave., Bordentown; 609-2919232), which opened in January, and Hamilton Tap and Grill (557 U.S. 130 N.; 609-905-0925), which opened in the Shoppes at Hamilton in August. Each features your typical pub fare ranging from burgers and fries to steak and a multitude of TVs in the bar areas. I enjoyed the Philly-style pork sandwich I had at Old Town Pub, but it appears to have been taken off the menu since. I can also recommend the short rib sandwich with beer battered onion rings ($12.99 with fries) at Hamilton Tap and Grill. But perhaps more interesting than the menus is the heavy emphasis both restaurants place on having local craft beer on tap. They join the likes of Blend Bar, Uno’s and Jojo’s in Hamilton, Firkin Tavern in Ewing, Brick Farm Tavern in Hopewell, and the HOB Tavern in Bordentown in trying to draw people in with their beer menus. That’s a trend I can only imagine will pick up speed in the coming year as craft beer goes more mainstream.

GOODNEWS June November
Adopt-a-Survivor Program Begins at Ewing High School Nearly sixty years since Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps, the now elderly survivors of the Holocaust are turning to a new generation to preserve their testimony about their wartime experiences for future generations. Holocaust survivors are steadily dwindling in number. Many have made it their mission to educate the world that anti-Semitism and racism easily lead to murder, and to speak about the horrors they and their families suffered. With the passing of time, it has become urgent to find a new generation to continue the survivors’ mission and tell their stories after the survivors can no longer do so. On April 12, the Adopt-a-Survivor (AAS) program was introduced to the Trenton area at Ewing High School. Six Holocaust survivors were adopted by twelve Ewing High sophomores. The adopted On Thursday, November beginning survivors—Moshe Gimlan, Vera 15th, Goodkin, Marion at 6:30pm, Ewing Charles High School doors to the Lewin, Ruth Lubitz, Rojerwill andopen Jackits Zaifman— the Open House/8thCzechoslovakia, Grade Orientation. were community originallyforfrom Germany, This is designed for 8th grade students and Poland andevent Belgium. theirAAS parents, but ispairs open ato survivor any childwith or parent from The program one or community who is interested learning about morethe students.

The Ewing Public Schools Senior Soccer Standout Attends Leadership Summit Allyson McConnell, an outstanding student-athlete who plays on the Ewing High School Varsity Girls Soccer team, represented the school at the recent NJSIAA Senior Leadership Summit. The event, held at the Westin at Forrestal Village in Princeton, was in honor of the NJSIAA’s 100th anniversary, and was designed to bring senior athletes from around the state together for a day of activities and discussions focused on empowering leadership and service. McConnell is a captain for the Blue Devils, and has been a standout for the soccer squad since her freshman year. She is also highly involved in the school’s Project Unity, the unified physical education program and Special Olympics. McConnell is also a peer leader for EHS and a member of the school’s National Honor Society. Away from school, she works as gymnastics and soccer instructor for Schafer Sports Center and plays for the NLSA travel soccer organization. “Allyson was an excellent choice to represent our high school at this event,” EHS Principal Ed Chmiel commented. “She is always positive, upbeat, respectful and a natural leader.” At the summit, McConnell and senior athletes from around the state heard presentations from various dignitaries and speakers. Commissioner of Education Dr. Lamont Repollet welcomed the students, and other presenters included motivational speaker Gian Paul Gonzalez, legendary basketball coach Bob Hurley, and Dr. Jarrod Spencer, who wrote the book, “Mind of the Athlete”. “I think the main theme of each speaker was that if you work hard and stay focused, you can accomplish any goal you set for yourself,” McConnell shared. “It was emphasized that you can’t be successful alone, and you need to be thankful for the people in your life that helped you along the way.” A major topic of the summit was the importance of mental health and wellness for student-athletes, something that has been a recent focus of the Ewing Schools. “Dr. Spencer told us that we all have so much stress in our lives, that we need to take time to clear our minds and relax as well as compete.” As McConnell finishes out her athletic career at EHS and moves forward with her senior year and plans to attend college, the lessons from the summit will resonate with her. “I was honored to attend and represent Ewing,” she commented. “I am proud of our town and school and grateful for my teachers and coaches. It was certainly a great experience.”
Ewing Public Schools Bond Referendum Approved Voters in Ewing Township went to the polls on October 2nd and approved the Board of Education’s EPS Referendum ’18. The approved $59.3 million bond referendum will update and improve the district’s facilities. “We are so pleased at the passage of EPS Referendum ’18,” School Board President Karen McKeon stated. “The projects in the approved referendum will create safer, healthier, and more modern schools.” The now approved referendum will ensure Ewing Public Schools are well positioned for many years to come, according to Superintendent Michael Nitti, who said the projects included in the referendum would: • Enhance School Safety and Security; • Provide Healthier and More Sustainable Schools; and • Improve Instructional Space and Enhance Student Facilities. Specifically, projects would restore or replace the roof for all district schools, modernize all school fire/distress alarm systems, expand and improve the district’s camera system, and install security enhancements for school interior and exterior doors. Other projects include the renovation of the Ewing High School Performing Arts Auditorium, Ewing High School art, music and technology classrooms would be modernized, and improvements would be made to student lockers at Fisher Middle School, selected classrooms, and the media centers in the elementary schools. Additionally, the referendum projects would completely revitalize the district’s environmental systems and provide air conditioning to Ewing High School’s main and auxiliary gymnasiums. “The passing of the referendum will allow us to create healthier classrooms by enhancing air filtration and humidity control while also improving cost efficiency and sustainability,” Nitti commented.
Athletic facilities at Ewing High School and Fisher Middle School will be enhanced, both schools’ gymnasiums will be renovated, and athletic grounds at Ewing High School will be improved. The referendum will also create a district tennis center, which would enable the district to improve student parking and traffic flow at Ewing High School. “The Board of Education always has believed this referendum balanced fiscal responsibility with the obligation to give our students a safe, healthy modern place to attend school,” McKeon commented. According to School Business Administrator Dennis Nettleton, 91.3 percent of the projects proposed in the referendum are eligible for up to 40 percent in New Jersey debt service aid funding. The referendum debt service will replace the disappearing district debt – so taxpayers are likely to see less of an impact. In the 2017–18 school year, there was a tax decrease of approximately $123 on homes assessed at the township average of $123,100. An anticipated $25 increase for the 2018–2019 school year was eliminated by the Board of Education after the district received a hard-earned increase in state aid. Nettleton also noted that the increased efficiency and sustainability afforded by a number of the proposed projects will translate into future budgetary savings. There are also energy savings projects included that would be eligible for future incentive grants. “Now that the referendum has passed, the Board will begin working with the architect to establish a workable timeline for implementing the projects to ensure the least disruption to our students and faculty,” explained McKeon. “This is an exciting time for Ewing Public Schools, and we are deeply appreciative of the support of the community.”
Parkway First Graders Solve a HUGE Problem! Parkway Kindergarten and First Grade students celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day. Kindergarten students came dressed to school like Johnny Appleseed, read books about him and created Johnny Appleseed puppets. Students learned how to make applesauce and had the opportunity to sample the applesauce during snack time. Johnny Appleseed actually showed up to visit Parkway First Graders because he had a HUGE problem! His bag was ripped and he needed something else to carry his apples! He gave them a plethora of supplies: pipe cleaners, cardstock, ribbon, hole punchers, popsicle sticks, etc. and asked them to create a new technology that could carry two apples!
We are proud to say, with their hard work and determination, students designed quite a few new ways for Johnny to carry his apples! Johnny Appleseed left Parkway very happy, to say the least! Parkway first grade students put a new twist to STEM for Johnny Appleseed.

The Ewing Public Schools EHS Senior Takes the Stage with Philly POPS When the Philly POPS Orchestra took the stage at the Trenton War Memorial in early October, they were joined by a special guest conductor. Andrew Ashton, a talented senior member of the instrumental music program at Ewing High School who serves as the Senior Drum Major, adroitly led the legendary orchestra in John Philip Sousa’s The Liberty Bell - March. On September 20, 2018 the Philly POPS Brass Ensemble came to Ewing High School and held an assembly for all chorus, orchestra and band members. At the end of the assembly, Ashton was nominated from EHS as a nominee to conduct one song with the Philly POPS at the War Memorial concert, which was a fundraiser for St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center. Ultimately, he was selected and was able to take advantage of this unique opportunity to conduct the POPS. Ashton worked with Philly POPS Conductor Michael Krajewski before the concert and was able to see the backstage workings for the event. He was also given a conducting baton signed by Mr. Krajewski as a souvenir and interviewed by media covering the event. Ashton is a senior at EHS who is a member of the National Honor Society who has been in the EHS Marching Band for all four years, as well as the Jazz Band and Pit Orchestra for the Spring Musical. Also an excellent athlete, Ashton is gearing up for his fourth year as a standout diver with the Ewing Swimming and Diving team and hopes to compete in the State Competition this year. He is also a proud member of EHS Baseball team. “Andrew is one of our most well-rounded and strongest students,” District Humanities Supervisor Jim Woidill stated. “He is an excellent ambassador of Ewing High School and by all reports, did an outstanding job as guest conductor.”
Lore School ‘All About Me’ The preschoolers at Lore learned the meaning of being unique during their ‘All About Me’ unit. During this unit, students had the opportunity to share about themselves with their peers. They learned that everyone is different - and that’s okay! They were able to express their creativity by creating beautiful and very unique butterflies to represent how different everyone is from one another.
Senior Spotlight: Meet James Kim What do you like best about Ewing High School? The best thing I like about Ewing High School is the diversity. We are diverse in every way. You meet new people in high school and become friends with people that you would have never thought would become your friend, and not many other high schools have that to offer. It exposed me to many different backgrounds and upbringings, which makes every student unique in their own way. This has made me truly appreciate my experience at EHS. Who is your favorite teacher and why? My favorite teacher that I’ve had is Mrs. Marchesani. I had her my junior year for Chemistry Honors which, is a very difficult class. However, she made Chemistry very easy to understand and taught the class like no other teacher. She has a way to connect with students and understands them well. Not only was Mrs. Marchesani an amazing Chemistry teacher but she is an amazing person. She gives great life advice and guidance. We talked a lot about what I would like to do in the future and talked about college. She is someone who I can come to and talk to about anything. She is truly a wonderful teacher. In which activities do you participate? For EHS I am part of the Varsity Football and Wrestling teams. I have started for 2 years on the Varsity Football team and I have wrestled all 4 years on the Varsity Wrestling team. I also participate in Key Club. I was recently inducted into National Honor Society this past spring and am part of the Peer Leadership program. What is your favorite memory of high school? My favorite memory of high school is playing
football under the lights on Friday nights where all my friends and family are there to watch. There is no other feeling than running out of the giant inflatable helmet and playing in front of your home crowd. That is a memory that I won’t ever forget in my life. What do you do outside of school? Outside of school I spend a lot of time with my family and friends. I also spend a lot of time at the gym training for football and wrestling. I am able to balance everything out by working at Pennington Market and PacSun. At the moment, I am spending a good amount of time preparing myself for college and looking into colleges around the area. Who has impacted your life in a positive way? Coach Dalessio, my football and wrestling coach. He has coached me since my freshman year in wrestling and believed that I could wrestle on the varsity level my freshman year. Not only is Coach Dalessio a great coach he has truly taught me about hard work and how you won’t get anything from taking short cuts, especially, in the sport of wrestling. How do you define success? From what I have learned throughout life and at Ewing High success is not defined. Success is not based on how much one attains or how much knowledge one possess, but in my opinion is based on how much “heart” one has and how far one is willing to go to achieve whatever goal is ahead. In the end, it is based on how happy the person is and if they accomplished the goal they wanted to achieve. What are your plans after you graduate? After I graduate high school I plan on going to a 4 year university and I would like to major in Pre-Med. What is your favorite quote or book? “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” - Muhammad Ali
Next Generation of Innovators Today's world needs to develop the next generation of innovators who can understand and apply Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This year, in the Ewing Public Schools, our students in first grade classrooms are taking their first steps on the path toward STEM literacy. Students are getting to experience design challenges where they collaborate with each other to ask questions, imagine possibilities, plan solutions, create prototypes and make improvements to solve problems. Throughout the year students will continue to build their educational foundation so that they will be more interested in, and prepared for STEM related careers.

Blue Devils football’s Seifert embraces role as selfless player By Justin Feil Chris Seifert understands and lives the Ewing High School football mantra: “Surrender me for we.” Switching to a No. 50 uniform is proof. “That was a hard thing,” Seifert said. “32 was my varsity number since freshman year.” Ewing asked the senior to not only play linebacker this year, but also contribute on the offensive line, and offensive lineman are not permitted to wear a number in the 30s. Seifert initially didn’t warm to the idea of playing left guard, but when he realized it would help the team, he accepted the move. Ewing head coach Drew Besler said Seifert hadn’t played offensive lineman since youth football. “He had gotten some snaps at practice in case of an emergency situation, but he was never expected to be a starter there. He’s started and been a very good offensive lineman for us.” Seifert is one of the reasons that the Ewing has been steady over the last three seasons. He has been a starter at linebacker since his sophomore year. Last year, he led the Blue Devils with 104 tackles as they returned to the state playoffs, and more importantly he started to show his maturity and began to embrace the Ewing mantra.

Seifert didn’t understand that concept as well before that season. But as he broke out as a player, he also became more of a leader. His progress has con-

tinued this season. “I’ve grown tremendously,” Seifert said. “Freshman to sophomore year, I had some struggles. I became a more vocal individual as we went through the years. My leadership has grown. As my years went on, I embodied the meaning of the program.” “Chris is a peer leader in the building,” Besler said. “He has over a 3.0 GPA. He’ll have opportunity to play in college—where we don’t know yet. He’s a solid student, and solid player and he’s done whatever he possibly could to help put this team in a position to win.” Ewing was 4-2 after a 13-0 win over Bishop Eustace on Oct. 12, but on Oct. 19, as they celebrated 20 years of hosting night football games at Ewing, the Blue Devils couldn’t overcome five turnovers in a 28-13 loss to Cinnaminson. “I think we’ll respond great,” Seifert said. “We’ve responded to adversity pretty well all season. I think it’s another bump in the road we’ll smooth out.” Ewing was set to go into its Oct. 27 game against Pemberton looking in at the playoffs from the outside. They held the No. 17 spot in South Jersey, Group 3 with the top 16 qualifying for states. Knowing how close they are to returning to the playoffs was useful motivation.

Wide receiver Br yce Simms looks to make a catch during a 28-13 loss to Cinnaminson at EHS on Oct. 19. (Photo by Suzette J. Lucas.) “It would mean everything,” Seifert said. “It’s huge to make the playoffs and it’d be a great accomplishment to say every year we made playoffs. You have a chance to advance and that’s way better than a consolation game. It’s the main reason we do all the work in the offseason.” The new ranking system has been hard to figure out. Ewing dropped four spots after shutting out Eustace. The Blue Devils had every reason to believe that they had playoff potential from the start of the season. “It’s a senior laden defense,” Besler said. “It’s one of those things where I knew we were going to play good defense. We had a bunch of new starters offensively along the offensive line; and at quarterback, Caleb Stokes has been a cornerback and a consistent player for us and now he’s playing both ways.” “The emergence of Ricky Francois and Tywayne Reed and Paris Wright have really helped to run the ball and given us at least an opportunity to play good football and go back to states for the third year in a row,” Besler added. “It’d be the fourth time in the last six years. We’ve been competitive.” Ewing was two points away from a 4-0 start. They won three games in a row after losing, 7-6, to Northern Burlington. They handled Lawrence, 26-3, before falling in a 32-20 game at Delran. “We’ve been very good defensively,” Besler said. “Our first four games, we only gave up 44 points total. That was helpful. Offensively, we’ve been able to establish the run. Ricky Francois, he’s got over 800 yards and he’s only a junior. He’s been extremely explosive for us. It’s been one of those things where we’re in a good situation because when you can run the ball and play good defense, you have an opportunity to be
in the state playoffs.” Seifert is one of nine senior starters on the defensive side. They know how to react to adversity and overcome it. They’ve been the backbone of their high aspirations. Seifert has been proud of the way that the Blue Devils have continued to battle throughout the season. It bolstered his confidence in their playoff push. “Sometimes we’ve been down early, and we’ve come back in the second half,” Seifert said. “We never really fold up. Even against Cinnaminson, we were down big. We never stopped fighting to the end.” Seifert has taken the same approach to his new positon. While he has been comfortable in his return at linebacker, where he makes defensive calls and adjustments and helps position teammates, he’s been learning the ins and outs at left guard on offense. “There’s been some struggles at times, but I’m getting the hang of it,” Seifert said. Seifert is looking to play football in college. It’s something he’s always hoped to be able to do and now he’s in position to make the jump. Seifert figures that he will focus there on the defensive side of the ball. “I was always a defensive player at heart,” he said. “It’s always been my thing. Even when I was growing up I liked D’ line.” Seifert still favors the defensive side of the ball, but for the Ewing team he is willing to help anywhere. It’s that attitude has helped to boost the Blue Devils as they target another playoff trip. “We have to execute and perform well and then hold our breath and see if we can sneak in,” Besler said. “We’re a good enough team that I believe when we execute we can play with anyone.”

Ryan Webster is at the end of his cross country career, while Makayla McCloskey is just beginning in the Ewing High School program. Both found just what they were looking for this season with the Blue Devils. “It’s really exciting but it’s sad at the same time,” said Webster, a senior on the boys teams. “It’s my last year. It’s going to be my last time being on the team. I was really excited to go into my senior year of cross country. I was looking for big improvements and I’m really improving on my times.” McCloskey, meanwhile, is one of five freshmen girls that have joined the high school team. They have spent this season transitioning from the Fisher Middle School program to the next level. “It’s a lot more difficult, but it’s a lot of fun,” McCloskey said. “We do a lot more meets.” For most of the season, Ewing has entered its freshmen in the shorter twomile course options at races in order to building up to the regular 5-kilometer course. McCloskey recorded a new personal best of 13:42 for two-miles at the Six Flags Invitational. “It’s a good transition,” McCloskey said. “You get a good mix of what you’re used to from last year and what you’re expected to do next year. You get a lot stronger for the two miles than you were last year and you get ready for the three miles you have to do next year.” McCloskey finished in 37th place (21:43) in the Mercer County Championships. Before the meet, she said she was looking forward to the challenge. “I’m not really nervous because whatever happens, happens,” she said. “I’ll be against a lot of older people. It’ll be a good way to see where I am and where I need to be.” Leadership from Webster and fellow four-year member Chris Andriana has helped to unify the Ewing program, and the youthful enthusiasm of McCloskey and her class that includes Danielle Bayne, Julia Campbell, Stephanie Falzone and Meara Hayes bodes well for the future. When the season began, the numbers were down in the program before several athletes from other sports joined. They have helped to build up the program and the outlook. “It’s a mixed bag,” said Ewing coach Dan Montferrat. “I have a baseball player. I have a couple sprinters and hurdlers. Then I have a couple traditional distance kids. I don’t know how many wins we’ve come across—it hasn’t been many—but the guys season has been about slowly putting the building blocks together.” Montferrat said he recruited some runners who had been cut from soccer team. “A lot of the alumni that were sprinters
Freshman Makayla McCloskey runs in the girls’ cross countr y race in the Mercer County Championships at Washington Crossing State Park on Oct. 19. (Photo by Suzette J. Lucas.) that come back tell us that their coaches make them run cross country,” the coach said. “So these guys that have aspirations to run at the next level, it’s a prep for them. We’ve combined a lot of our practices this year with guys and girls.” The boys team includes juniors BeyShan Clark, AJ Jolicoeur, Mirron Miller, Jaquan Pope, Arian Rodriguez and freshmen Nick Canavera and David Chahbandour. “We’re trending upward with the way we finished compared to how we started,” Montferrat said. “We had three guys. We got it up to eight and we’re scoring every week.” Webster has been a huge help to the team. He’s brought together a group from different athletic backgrounds to become a cross country team. “He’s a great character kid,” Montferrat said. “He’s been with me four years. It’s like having another coach out there. He knows my expectations and how I hold everyone accountable. This ragtag bunch has been fun. They follow his lead. They’re at practice every day and they like hanging out with each other.” Webster is looking at several southern colleges next year and hoping to use a ROTC scholarship. He’s interested in being an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Aside from the physical benefits of running as well as swimming and running track for Ewing, Webster has benefited from having to guide the cross country team. “Throughout the years I’ve seen a lot of leadership skills and communication skills from being on the team and see-

Lucas.) ing the leadership styles of the other seniors that were on the team,” Webster said. “I’ve picked up those styles and I’m using them while leading the team.” Webster followed in the footsteps of his brother, Chris, who graduated from Ewing in 2007. Webster has come to value being a part of the Blue Devils. He’s enjoyed seeing how each year’s group make-up changes and remains connected. “Throughout all my years on the team, I noticed the team was really tight knit,” Webster said. “You get to know everybody. There’s a lot of camaraderie.” Webster’s final year has been his most enjoyable. He’s seen an influx of new runners and seen them come together to compete and improve. “Everyone on the team is really motivated and committed to try their best,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot of improvements from everybody on the team, including the freshmen.” The girls team has the five freshmen and Izzy Falzone, a senior, along with sophomores Sierra Ruiz and Chantal Samuel. Falzone ran last year and came back, and Ewing is hoping it can continue to attract new runners. “We’ll definitely scrape up some more underclassmen that do winter and spring track for next year,” said Ewing coach Meg Soltysik. “They’ll see how much they need that continuity.” The freshmen girls give the program a good starting point to go forward. They have been through a high school season together and met every demand. “They’ve been doing well,” Soltysik said. “A lot of the first freshman races are two miles. We went to the 5k and they struggled a bit, but now they’re seeing their times drop. The workouts they’ve been doing, they’ve been pushing each other and holding each other accountable. It’s been really sweet to see
them grow together.” McCloskey started running for Fisher in seventh grade. After playing other sports like soccer, she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do. Campbell talked her into trying cross country. Their class has stayed with it and kept running into high school together. “It’s a lot of fun because I’ve known them,” McCloskey said. “Most of them have been doing it longer than I have actually. They’ve been doing it since sixth grade. It’s nice to see us improve. We’ve all gotten a lot better than when we started.” McCloskey came into the season after running regularly over the summer to prepare. It helped her to get ahead, and she runs with some of the boys for certain runs to push herself more. She enjoys the training and seeing the results. Every year, she has gotten more passionate about running. “I liked it a lot in seventh and eighth grade, but I really started trying this year,” McCloskey said. “The coaches are very motivating.” Montferrat and Soltysik have been pushing their runners all year to hit new times. They have seen the program grow together and strive to develop. Their improvements have helped to encourage them to do more. “I do want to try to stay on top of what I’m doing,” said McCloskey, who plans to run winter and spring track. “I think I can be better next year. I can improve.” Her career is just beginning to take off while Webster’s is coming to a conclusion after a memorable four-year run. “I’ve come a long way,” Webster said. “I still can’t believe these are going to be the last races in my high school career. I’m really excited and motivated to try hard to run hard and get my best time in these races.”

I hope you enjoyed our virtual visit to the Hillwood Inn last month, definitely a past destination of significance in Ewingville. Built by the “refrigerator genius” CV Hill, the inn was situated on former farms and woodland along the Shabakunk Creek, which was dammed to create two lakes, Ceva and Sylva. The dancing and dining hall was popular and attracted good-sized crowds. The grounds featured boating excursions on the lakes, boardwalks and walkways, swimming and skating, a small beach on the lakefront, and even a miniature, water-powered village. But by the end of the 1920s, the costs of the inn were exceeding the benefits and pleasure for owner CV Hill. He sought to sell the property. And as it happened, another significant, local entity was seeking property. The N.J. State Normal School, a postsecondary educational institution to educate and train teachers, had been established by the state legislature in 1855. Trenton had been selected as the location for the school and the associated “model school” wherein the teachers could observe established teachers and practice their profession as a part of the training and education process. The school was one of a few teachers colleges in the country, and welcomed its first 15 students on Oct. 1, 1855 to classrooms above city hall, while buildings were being made ready at its eventual location on Clinton Avenue. Additional land and buildings were added as enrollment steadily increased. But by the early 1920s, it was very apparent that more space and updated facilities would be needed, and the campus would need to be relocated. The state Board of Education petitioned the legislature in 1928 to sell the buildings of the N.J. State Normal School and Model School at Trenton, and later to appropriate funds of $95,000 to plan and erect new buildings on a different site. Thirty sites around the state were considered for the new school, but ultimately the committee recommended the purchase of “the Hillwood Lakes area owned by CV Hill, for $85,000,” a plot of land of about 100 acres, “covered with
beautiful trees,” and “easily developed into athletic and recreational fields.” The site even included the inn, which could function as a dining hall until a new one was constructed. It was not far from Trenton, and located along a trolley line. So CV Hill found an ideal buyer in the State of New Jersey. The state began immediately to prepare for the move. An additional purchase of land along Pennington Road was made to provide for an entrance from that thoroughfare.An acre of woodland was cleared from a portion of the Titus and Blackwell farms. After the state legislature appropriated nearly $1 million for new buildings in 1929, construction began on that newly cleared land for an administration building, as well as a nearby women’s dormitory and power house. The cornerstone of the administration building (Green Hall) was laid in May of 1931. Over the next few years, appropriations and subsequent work also began on an auditorium and classroom building (Kendall Hall), library (Roscoe West Library), and men’s and women’s Dormitories (Bliss, Norsworthy, Allen, Brewster and Ely). Hampered by the Depression, the school had to operate from two locations—Hillwood Lakes,and Clinton Avenue in Trenton—from 1931 to 1936, at which point all classrooms, dormitories, and facilities at Hillwood Lakes were sufficiently completed. In 1937, it was renamed the N.J. State Teachers College at Trenton. Assistance in completing the work was provided by laborers working with the Emergency Relief Administration, a depression-era works program. It should be noted that all of these buildings remain standing and in use, although some of them are used in different capacities. The new campus also had a dining hall: the old Hillwood Inn. The wooden structure—expanded somewhat in 1934 and renamed the College Inn—served as a dining hall for two decades. It suffered a fire in September of 1948, delaying the start of the semester for three weeks, and emphasizing the need for a safer, more permanent structure. Ewingville was now officially a destination for future teachers.
By the end of the 1920s, the costs of the inn were exceeding the benefits and pleasure for owner CV Hill. He sought to sell the property.

The (red) eyes have it By Ilene Black
Did you ever go to bed looking perfectly normal and wake up looking like a cast member of The Walking Dead? No? How nice for you. I went to bed on a Friday night looking like I always look. Slept well. Woke up to Peaches, one of our dogs, sitting on my chest and hitting me in the face with her paw. I moved her off me, rolled out of bed, and headed for the bathroom. As I finished my business and washed my hands, I happened to glance up at the mirror and I literally almost passed out. My left eye was bloodred. The entire white part (sclera) of my eye was red (actually, it was more like burgundy). And it was badly swollen. I yelled for my husband George. He came running in and said, and I quote, “What the he&% is that?” That utterance was accompanied by a distinct look of absolute horror. I’ve seen various horrified expressions on my husband’s face in our 38 years of marriage (usually when looking at our credit card statement), but never one quite like this. Being the amateur Doctor of Everything that I am, I immediately came up with several diagnoses: 1) I was dying, 2) I was dying, and 3) I was dying. Any minute now. When I calmed down, I told George that we had to go to the ER. He said, “Now?” I said, “When I finish my coffee.” The reason for the delay was that the eye did not hurt one bit. It was not actively bleeding, my eyesight was normal, and I had no headache. Plus I needed time to Google my symptoms. So after extensive reading about red eyes, I came up with a temporary diagnosis: subconjunctival hemorrhage. The word hemorrhage was not encouraging, but since I could see and I didn’t have blood dripping from my eye like a character in a Halloween haunted house, I was relatively calm. I finished my coffee, put on a pair of sunglasses and off we went. Luckily, I was seen right away by the Capital Health Hopewell ER triage nurse, who fortunately had an excellent sense of humor. When she asked me what I was there for, I took my sunglasses off and asked, “Notice anything unusual about me?” She replied, “A little early for Halloween, aren’t you?” She took us back to an exam room. The doctor, who was about 13 years old, examined my eye and told me he was going to put eye drops in my eye that would numb it and dilate the pupils.
