Though financial and logistical obstacles remain, the Princeton Police Department (PPD) is on track to adopt the use of body cameras for its officers, according to police spokesman Lieutenant Jon Bucchere. Thirty thousand dollars in grant money has been promised by the state, and the PPD is looking for additional sources of funding, possibly from Princeton and Rider Universities. Costs for different body cam models range widely, with additional significant budgeting required for video storage. “Having the body cameras will provide greater transparency in day-to-day action,” Mr. Bucchere said, “and complement the technology that we already use.” He added, “We’re dedicated to keeping with national best practices. There’s a movement toward police officers using body cams, and we want to be part of that, as soon as we can logistically put the pieces in place.” He noted the value of dashboard cameras, which have been used in police vehicles for many years, and he stated that body cams would be even more valuable. “With everything going on in the country and locally recently, the body cam provides greater transparency and greater perspective beyond the scope and range of the dashboard cam. You want to be as transparent as possible. That’s the direction we’re heading in.” Mr. Bucchere described how the technology for body cameras continues to improve. “It gets better and better,” he said. The cameras, usually clipped to the shirt front, “are smaller, and the batteries last longer.” Police Chief Nick Sutter has stated that body cams will increase the public’s confidence in the Police Department in helping to accurately represent what actually happens in police-civilian encounters. Policy decisions about protection of privacy and access to public records must also be put in place before final implementation of a body cam program. Many police departments throughout the country have adopted body cameras, though some controversy remains over the reliability of videos to accurately record encounters and about the possibility Continued on Page 4

Hospital’s Partnership Will Enhance Outpatient Care

Princeton HealthCare System’s newly announced partnership with the University of Pennsylvania Health System could lead, eventually, to an expansion of the four-year-old campus on Route 1 in Plainsboro. But for now, the focus of the shared future is on things like ambulatory care and expanded clinical capabilities. “The relationship will take some time to mature,” said Barry Rabner, PHCS president and chief executive officer. “But for people who live in central New Jersey, it will mean easier access to care because we expect to be investing in ambulatory care. We also will have better access to care. And we expect to see the research showing up at the bedside more quickly than it has.” PHCS announced last week that it had signed a letter of intent to pursue a partnership with Penn Medicine, after considering 17 health systems across the country. “The thing we really liked a lot was their reputation for advanced clinical care,” said Mr. Rabner. “They are a significant research institution, an excellent medical school, and have a very strong financial performance.” Another point in Penn’s favor is the fact that area residents already use its services. “We’ve done some testing, and we

found that Penn enjoys the best reputation among people in our service area of any organization we tested,” Mr. Rabner said. “A lot of people who choose to get care today outside of central Jersey are choosing to go to Penn already. So between their reputation and the fact that people are already getting care there, it made a lot of sense.” Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine is ranked among the top five medical schools in National Institutes of Health funding. The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania has been recognized

repeatedly as an Honor Roll Hospital in the US News and World Report Best Hospitals ratings. Mr. Rabner’s son, daughterin-law, and son-in-law are all graduates of the medical school (“Purely a coincidence!”, he said, with a laugh). Last week’s announcement was only a preliminary step. The two health systems will now conduct due diligence and negotiate definitive agreements, a process expected to take several months. Following that, there are regulatory approvals to obtain, a process which could take up to Continued on Page 8

Stalled Bridge Replacement Project Has Rocky Hill Residents Worried Route 518 is one of the busiest roads in southern Somerset County. Between Rocky Hill and Franklin, the bridge on that roadway over the Delaware and Raritan Canal has been closed for replacement since late last month, causing frustrating traffic tie-ups and concerns about safety among residents of Rocky Hill. The July 8 order by Governor Chris Christie to suspend work on all “nonessential” road projects — in response to a Senate stalemate over which taxes

should be cut in exchange for raising the gas tax to fund road work — has halted the construction work, making matters worse. The detour currently in place re-routes traffic down Crescent Avenue to get to River Road. For those who live on that street, the trucks rumbling down the road are “an accident waiting to happen,” said resident Caron Wendell. “Normally, traffic flows from 206 down Continued on Page 8

make it to Maine to become “thru-hikers.” “You’re climbing a lot of mountains, and they all have a top,” Mr. Whiteside said. “I reminded myself of this many times, and I used to kid some of the other hikers. All these mountains have several false summits, where you think you’re at the top but you’re not, but if you keep moving, if you keep going you get to the top.”

TOPICS Of the Town Fa t h e r a n d d a u g h t e r agreed that the mental challenges of the odyssey were even more formidable than the physical demands. “You need to really want to do it, not just to have done it,” said Phoebe, a 2015 Princeton High School graduate. “A lot of people dropped out because they liked the idea of being a thru-hiker, but they didn’t actually want to be out there every day.” Rob, a 54-year-old businessman—260 pounds when he started, a fit 210 when he finished last Wednesday— concluded, “Quite a journey: it still astonishes me that I got through it in one piece.” Shared Experience The shared experience was an important aspect of the trip for both. A cross countr y runner ready to beg in f resh man year at Swarthmore next month, Phoebe seldom walked with her father during the day. They started out together each morning, then Phoebe would get ahead, and her father would catch up to her at an agreed upon destination after 10-11 hours of hiking. “Some people have this idea that we were sitting shoulder to shoulder watching t he su nset toget her every night. It wasn’t like that,” Rob said. “But it was a very difficult prolonged experience, and we shared it . There’s a lot of meaning in shared experience, especially in very difficult shared experience, and that’s part of the meaning, get ting through it with my daughter, sharing the experience, having the memory.” One of the hardest parts for Rob was “hiking with young people. Most times I

was hiking with 18-24-yearolds. They’re faster. They can go farther. I was like a toddler trying to keep up with his parents on the sidewalk. I physically couldn’t walk as fast as some of those guys.” And the biggest personal challenge for Phoebe often involved compromising with her father in planning the day’s itinerary. “We wanted to stay together and finish together,” she said, “but we had a very different idea of what we wanted the experience to be like along the way.” “That was our biggest conflict,” Rob added. “She was more ambitious for the hiking and getting the Continued on Next Page

miles in and all that, and we had several sessions on top of mountain ridges sitting there arguing about it. If it had been just me out there, I’d still be out there I’d have taken 2-3 weeks more. She probably would have finished 2-3 weeks earlier than we did.” The conflict reached a happy resolution, as Rob “got stronger as we went along—no question about it. Coming up through Virginia, I got into shape and could do 20-25-mile days, as opposed to about 15-mile days at the start of the trip.” And Phoebe patiently settled into a pace more moderate than her cross country training might prescribe. “I was fine with what we did. I was happy with our pace towards the end. We slowed down a lot in New Hampshire and Maine, especially as we got into the mountains, and I really enjoyed it.” The Whiteside duo, completing the trip in just over four and a half months, was well ahead of the curve, according to Appalachian Trail Conservancy estimates of thru-hikers taking between five and seven months, with an average of “a week or two shy of six months,” to finish the journey. About 15,000 hikers have reported walking the entire AT since 1937, when the trail was completed, but there are no statistics on father-daughter teams. “Hiking the entire AT is a grueling and demanding endeavor,” according to the AT Conservancy website. “It requires great physical and mental stamina and de-

termination. The terrain is mountainous for its entire length, with an elevation gain and loss equivalent to hiking Mt. Everest from sea level and back 16 times. The treadway in many places is rocky or filled with roots or mud. Sections that could be described as flat or smooth seldom last long.” Preparations Rob, a dedicated runner when younger, had read about the Appalachian Trail when he was a boy and had always been interested. “I’d talked about it around the house, and the girls [Phoebe and her younger sister Ellen] absorbed it. Phoebe thought it would be a good idea, so we did it.” The planning began about a year ago. Phoebe graduated early from PHS, applying to colleges, gaining admission to Swarthmore and deciding to take a gap year so she could hike the Trail. Rob had been involved in running a company, but was winding the business down, and found that the window of opportunity was open for himself and his daughter at the same time. In preparation, Phoebe handled logistical planning while Rob started walking. “I walked around tow n. Princeton’s wonderful for walking —a lot of trails.” Much of the planning involved learning about necessary supplies and equipment, “but at some point,” he said, “”you’ve just got to start.” Neither Phoebe nor Rob was an experienced camper. “I’d been camping and hiking,” Phoebe said, “but never long distances.” Rob added, “That was one of the

things that worried me I’d never done a lot of camping, and if you’re going to get through this you need to like to camp. I didn’t know whether I liked it all that much, but it turns out I like camping just fine.” On the Trail The daily routine on the trail involved an early star t— 5 :30 wake -up for Rob, a bit later for Phoebe— and setting out on the trail by 6:30. Starting in early March, they encountered severe cold weather in the South, hiking through snow storms on a couple of days, 16 degree temperatures and high winds on other days. Phoebe generally worked out their schedule five days in advance, planning from town to town in order to figure out how to buy and maintain sufficient food and supplies. “You could only carry so much weight,” Rob explained. “You could only carry so much food. That was the biggest logistical thing to work out—the food re-supply.” Though they were not together for most of the day, usually they were able to keep in touch through texting or through other hikers. “When a hiker passed me by I might say, ’Hey, my daughter’s up ahead. Will you let her know I’m slow today?’” At night Rob preferred to pitch his tent. Phoebe chose the convenience of the AT three-sided lean-tos, when available,constructed for 6-8 people and located on the Trail every 5-20 miles. Occasionally they would take advantage of their proximity to a motel or hiker hostel. Good Luck

Rob and Phoebe, despite the many hardships of the trip, considered themselves lucky that they never lost track of each other, that there was not much prolonged rainfall, they avoided lyme disease and giardia (an intestinal infection), and they met no dangerous animals or people. “ I t ’s t r e a c h e r o u s o u t there,” Rob said. “There’s a lot of nice trail, but it’s not the tow path. People have this vision that you’re walking on a pristine path through the woods, but lots of times it’s full of rocks and roots. You have to pay attention all the time to where you’re walking and what you’re doing.” He pointed to a scar on his forehead and continued, “I took two bad falls, pretty bad face-plants, where I had to get bandaged up, and then dozens of smaller falls. To fall that often and not get hurt is lucky. We were both lucky. Luck is a big part of getting through.” According to Phoebe, they averaged 16.1 miles per day overall—starting out at about 12-15 miles per day, then 20-25 miles through t he mid-Atlantic States, slowing down to about 15 per day in the rugged terrain of New Hampshire and Maine. Back home again on Hawthorne Avenue Monday, after their culminating ascent of Mount Katahdin in Maine last Wednesday, then a day on public transpor tation Thursday, father and daughter reflected on the experience. “It’s easier than living in the normal world and having to go to work or school,” Phoebe said. “It’s very simple. It’s food, water, shelter, walk. It’s nice and you get close to the people you’re hiking with.” “T hat’s t he bes t part of the trail,” Rob added. “But your big decision for the day is just where am I going and how far am I walking.” Plans for the Future Whether Rob and Phoebe will venture out on the Appalachian Trail again, either together or separately, is uncertain. “I definitely want to keep doing backpacking,” Phoebe said. “I want to do another long trail. I don’t know when—probably not until after college. There are other scenic trails that would be fun.” Rob was more hesitant. “I don’t know. It’s too soon,” he said. “I was really ready to be done, because it’s a tough deal and when you get to the end, you know— enough. But already we’re both missing it a little bit.”Rob smiled, “I might pitch my tent in the back yard occasionally.” “I d ef i n itely m i s s it,” Phoebe added. “I miss being out there every day. I miss the friends I made on the trail.” “It does make you realize you don’t need as much stuff as you have,” she continued. “I came home and I found it over whelming how many personal possessions I have—too much stuff. I’m selling some of my clothes.” “We have a beautiful country,” Rob observed. “There’s a lot of wonderful things to see out there.” —Donald Gilpin

Question of the Week:

“Governor Chris Christie halted roadwork across the state. How have the road and bridge closures affected you?” (Photographs by Emily Reeves)

“For me personally, I have been detoured from my normal route to get from place to place.” —Dana Karas, Plainsboro

“I heard there are six thousand people that are out of a job because of the closures. And after the road work, the roads could be easier for drivers to get to places faster. Having the roads closed causes people to take longer to get somewhere. It effects people in every way.” —Michel Rocout, Princeton

Sallye: “The closures really haven’t affected us. I take the train into New York and my husband drives south to Philadelphia.” —Sallye and Ron Zink, Princeton

“It adds congestion. I walk and I drive and it’s very inconvenient. There are delays and there is frustration on the roads. It’s a hardship.” —LeRoi Gill, Princeton Junction

Judi: “The roadwork has affected us, we’re from Bergen County and there are roads closed. You have difficulty traveling no matter where you’re going. Everything is crowded. It has been a tremendous annoyance to me on a daily basis. We’re right near Rt. 3, Rt. 46 and the Parkway, there are closures on all these roads. Plus, there are closures in our community.” —Lawrence and Judi Boyce, Rutherford

PSE &G will begin work later this week to upgrade approximately one mile of aging cast iron gas lines with new durable pipes—making them more reliable and less likely to release methane gas. The gas main replacements, to be completed in the next two months, will take place on Linden Lane, between Guyot and Franklin; on Murray Place, between Nassau and Prospect; on Russel Road, from Winant to the end; and on Tee-Ar Place between Clearview and Franklin. “We are pleased to be a part of PSE&G’s program to expedite the replacement of aging natural gas mains,” said Mayor Liz Lempert. “The utility’s investment in Princeton’s infrastructure will ensure the continued safety and reliability of gas service now and for many years to come.” According to PSE&G, the new pipes will also enable the installation of excess flow valves on service lines, dramatically reducing gas flow if a pipe is damaged. The increased pressure of the new gas mains will also provide better support for high-efficiency appliances like furnaces and water heaters. Joe Forline, vice president of gas operations for PSE&G,

Volunteer tutors are needed to work with Literacy New Jersey, Mercer County Programs, a non-profit organization providing free, confidential tutoring designed to increase basic reading, writing, listening speaking

HOME AT LAST: The YCS Sawtelle Home, Princeton’s first housing for young adults with special needs, recently opened on Hilltop Drive. Gathered for the ribbon cutting recently were Jessica Petrocco, supervisor for the Department of Developmental Disabilities; Assemblyman Jack M. Ciattarelli; Yirgu Wolde, NJHMFA Dir. of Supportative Housing; Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller; Mayor Liz Lempert, Councilman Lance Liverman; Calvin McGowen, Housing Board Chair; Christy Peacock, Affordable Housing Coordinator; and Richard Mingoia YCS President. The project was spearheaded by Barbara Schutt, a parent of one of the home’s residents, who wanted to keep her son in their hometown. The YCS Sawtelle Home is a collaboration between the Department of Affordable Housing, The NJ Home Mortgage Finance Company, the Division of Developmental Disabilities, and Youth Consultation Service (YCS). and math skills. There are an estimated 60,000 adults in Mercer County who read at the fifth grade level or below. All volunteer tutors are required to complete a comprehensive, 15 hour training course to learn the fundamentals of reading and writing instruction. Literacy NJ Mercer is offering two fall courses. The first runs for five consecutive weeks starting Wednesday, September 21 through October 27, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The second goes from Thursday, September 29 through October 27, and meets from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. B ot h clas s e s w i l l b e given in Princeton. Upon

completion of the training course, the volunteer tutor is matched with an adult learner who has registered with the program. Volunteers provide free tutoring services at a variety of public locations including public libraries, workplace sites, churches and retirement homes. Longtime volunteer Michael Thiel describes his experience this way, “I began tutoring with LNJMCP almost 15 years ago. Over that time I have seen many measurable goals accomplished; a student’s first letter to her mother, another learning enough English to get independence through a driver’s license, and even

more with enough fluency to accomplish their ultimate goal of becoming a citizen of this country. What we often don’t measure are the emotions and immeasurable assets as sociated with literacy. We d on’t q u a nt if y t h e n e w found independence or the improvement in quality of life at home. And while we tend to focus on the students’ progress, there is something truly special in a program that keeps me and the other volunteers around for so long.” To register for the upcoming tutor training course or for more information, call (609) 587-6027 or email cmtich@literacynj.org.

a year to complete. Penn’s financial health will add to PHCS’ financial security and ability to enhance clinical programs, Mr. Rabner said, adding that Penn’s expertise in information technology will help efforts to install an integrated electronic medical record capability. Penn Medicine consists of The University of Pennsylvania Health System which includes the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Pennsylvania Hospital, Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, Chester County Hospital, Lancaster General Health, Penn Wissahickon Hospice and the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine. Together they are an academic health enterprise in excess of $6.8 billion in revenues, according to a press release on the partnership. Once the ar rangement is approved and finalized, PHCS will likely expand clinical capabilities in such areas as women’s health services, cancer care, and neurosciences. Expanding the campus is something that could happen later rather than sooner. “For right now, the campus is appropriately sized for the demand we get,” Mr. Rabner said. “We are often at capacity and we do see a need for more outpatient care. It hasn’t been determined yet, but I would expect more of that. In turn, that will generate additional activity on the campus and that would result in further investment. But that is secondary. For now, we have a more immediate focus.” —Anne Levin

518,” said Ms. Wendell, who owns the restaurant One 53 on Washington Street (Route 518) and Lucy’s Kitchen on Route 206. “With the bridge out, none of the trucks can make the turn. Traffic has been routed down our street to get onto River Road. There is a sign that says the amount of tons a truck can be, and they are definitely over that amount. So they are illegally going down our street.” One side of Crescent Avenue has a sidewalk with no shoulder, while the opposite side has neither. “We have no police department. We hire from Bound Brook, and they come once a month to monitor our traffic,” Ms. Wendell said. “So nobody is here on a regular basis monitoring our traffic. It’s a matter of somebody getting hit. People are speeding. Nobody is looking at the crosswalks. Everybody walks to pick up their mail on 518, so a lot of people are out walking. And drivers just don’t stop.” On July 18, Rocky Hill’s Borough Council passed a resolution urging Governor Christie to consider the Route 518 bridge project “essential” and restore construction work as quickly as possible. The resolution notes that University Hospital of Princeton in Plainsboro “is the primary hospital for this area with RWJ New Brunswick as the secondary; and Rocky Hill and Montgomery First Aid Squads must add between 9-25 minutes per call depending on time of day to reach University

Hospital at Princeton and even more if it is a trauma requiring RWJ Hospital in New Brunswick.” David Frauenheim, communications director of Somerset County’s 911 Center, said there is considerable concern about the issue. “Our biggest worry is the extended response times for EMS, police and fire,” he said. “The detour is very lengthy — almost 10 miles full circle. In Franklin Township, they have had to have other EMS services pick up more of Rocky Hill’s area. So the nearest squad is pretty much put out of service.” Rocky Hill Mayor Jeff Donahue did not respond to requests for comment. But in an email he sent to one concerned resident, he said he had learned that it was unlikely any changes would be made to the detour until the bridge construction is complete. “The DOT has received the same complaints from every town in our area, and thousands of motorists,” he wrote. “There have been collisions and violence at the Griggstown Causeway, where backups have been over an hour. All affected roads through

Montgomery, Kingston, Franklin, Princeton, etc. are experiencing 45-plusminute delays…The DOT has been clear that they are not going to make matters worse for all communities to mitigate problems in one.” Mr. Donahue urged residents to call or email the governor’s office to complain about the safety problems caused by the detour. “The executive order [halting DOT projects] states that DOT projects that impact health and safety can continue work,” he wrote. “Somerset County, Franklin, and Rocky Hill have all provided letters to the governor, DOT, and legislature demanding that 518 work be restarted specifically due to the health and safety impact. This is our top priority.” Somerset County’s Public Health and Safety Chief William J. Stahl sent a letter to the governor’s office about the problem but has not received a reply, Mr. Frauenheim said. Ms. Wendell commented, “The biggest thing is that Christie couldn’t care less. We are a little town, and we’re hoping somebody does something.” —Anne Levin

Town Topics a Princeton tradition! ®

est. 1946

Princeton Council passed a resolution Monday night that will enable residents of the 60 affordable housing units at the Washington Oaks community to obtain low-interest loans that would help pay for replacement of emergency fire sprinkler heads. Washington Oaks is located on Route 206, opposite the Jasna Polana golf club. The municipality has previously made these types of loans available at Griggs Farm and other locations w it h af fordable housing units. The fire sprinkler heads, which are sealed with wax, have to be replaced because it is time for them to be tested, and testing makes them unusable. “The problem you have with these sprinkler heads is that once they’re tested, they’re no longer any good,” said Council president Lance Liverman at a press event earlier in the day. “So you have to throw them out.” The sprinkler heads must be tested every 20 years. The cost for the testing and replacement of the sprin-

Think Global Buy Local

kler heads can range from about $1,300 to $4,600. Those who elect to take out a loan would have 10 years to repay the town. Money for the loans would come out of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund paid into by real estate developers. The program might not be necessary if it turns out that residents can afford the work, and it could be that not every eligible resident would apply for the loan. “But we want to make it available in case some of the members can’t do it,” Mr. Liverman said. The town’s municipal housing coordinator, Christy Peacock, would be in charge of the program. There are 300 residences in Washington Oaks, 20 percent of which are categorized as below market rate, or affordable. These include condominiums, townhouses, and single family homes. The affordable units are in the section called The Oaks, which has condominium units. The resolution was recommended to Council by the Princeton Housing Board, which voted unanimously in favor of it at their July 12 meeting. A meeting to discuss t he mat ter w it h residents could take place sometime in August. —Anne Levin

Mailbox Suggesting Revisions to Rec Dept’s Mary Moss Playground Concept Plan

To the Editor: The Witherspoon-Jackson historic district’s Mary Moss Playground is planned for renovation. RBA Consultants, through the Recreation department, has presented an initial concept plan to Princeton Council, which was approved for further planning. Because few residents of the neighborhood were able to provide input, the Witherspoon-Jackson historic district Committee held three neighborhood meetings to review the Mary Moss Playground Concept Plan. To properly honor its founder, Mary Moss, create a learning environment for toddlers and young children, and to ensure that the playground is sustainable, safe, sanitary, and respectful of nearby neighbors, it is requested that the neighborhood determine the language, imagery, location, and placement of historical/cultural information about Mrs. Moss and the playground, including entry signage, pool outline marker, plaque, and seated Mary Moss 3-dimensional image, and we further request that the recreation department accept the following revisions: 1) Remove corner entry; retain access from lytle and John Streets, setting back entries from shallow sidewalk area; provide a traffic-calming intersection table (under consideration by Princeton Council); and install signage acknowledging the “Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood’s historic Mary Moss Playground” at the corner of lytle and John. 2) Shift aquatic spray area into the southern corner, bordered by shrubbery; create a single entry to spray area with perimeter bench seating to confine wet area: keep the spray level to low heights; and choose skid-proof adaptable surfacing for storytelling. 3) Promote sustainability, replacing canopies with trees, replacing redundant ramp with heavily planted evergreen and flowering shrubbery buffer (forsythia was Mary Moss’s favorite); ground cover, soft surfacing for sitting, installing solar voltaic pavilion roof panels; sourcing local quarries for boulders; using post-consumer materials for building materials and appropriate equipment; placing recycling and trash containers at both levels. 4) design slide and sloped area with more soft surfaces, age-appropriate for toddlers and attendant caregivers. 5) Provide a pavilion with dappled sunlight under which plants, art, and educational objects can be hung; and install an artwork wall. 6) Add a sand play area, shaded by pavilion; and consider reinstalling some form of animal sculptures. 7) Enhance book nook with a soft surfaced sitting area for storytime, (relocate spray area furnishings to storage area); accommodate displays of history and culture along both sides of ramp wall/barrier: install multi-media and audio-equipment for storytelling, including the history of Mary Moss, the playground, and the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood during segregated Princeton. 8) Install age-appropriate playground equipment in organic forms and colors, and of low-heat conducting materials. 9) Eliminate the port-a-potty, as the intended playground users either live or are cared for nearby. 10) Add motion-sensors and timers for daytime use of water-sprayers: add motion-sensor site-wide lighting; install time locked entry gates to prevent loitering; maintain deterrent plantings adjacent to permeable fencing at heights consistent with safety and aesthetic standards; install water fountains at upper and lower playing areas. 11) Provide appropriate staffing throughout the year for safety and educational programming. The Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood looks forward to working collaboratively with the Recreation department and its consultants in implementing these design revisions and refinements to the concept plan. Respectfully submitted by, YINA MooRE on behalf of the Witherspoon-Jackson historic district Committee: Shirley Satterfield, Bernadine hines, leighton Newlin, Kip Cherry, daniel harris, Tommy Parker, and John heilner

Gennaro’s Food for America, Caring Cooks Teaches People to Cook For Those In Need

To the Editor: I was pleased to see the write-up of Gennaro Costabile’s restaurants and catering business [It’s New To Us, July 20]. We have been going to Gennaro’s on State Road for many years and it’s our venue of choice for family celebrations. The food is excellent, Gennaro has always welcomed us warmly, and we’ve even gotten to know the wait staff, many of whom have been there for years. But this isn’t just a plug for a wonderful restaurant. I was very interested to learn from the article that Gennaro established Food for America, a non-profit which raises money for charitable organizations that deal with hunger, and Caring Cooks Academy, which teaches people to cook for those in need as a team-building experience. In this day and age, when “greed is good” seems to be the motto of so many businesses, so that prices go up, quality goes down, and customer service is non-existent, it is wonderfully refreshing to know that there are other ways to be successful. Gennaro, thank you for providing us not only with delicious food, but with a model of how to succeed and care for others at the same time. RUTh GoldSToN Bouvant drive

League of Women Voters Wants Readers To Urge State Senators to Post SCR66

To the editor: The NJ department of Environmental Protection has proposed harmful revisions to state regulations that would threaten our water supply. The league of Women Voters of the Princeton Area urges the NJ Senate to post SCR66 for a vote as soon as possible. If passed, it would prohibit the NJ department of Environmental Protection from adopting its harmful revisions to the Flood hazard, Coastal Zone, and Stormwater Management Rules. The Assembly has done its part and passed ACR160. We now need the Senate to post and vote on SCR66 at its next session on August 1. Several months ago, the legislature voted once to rescind the dEP’s unacceptable proposal, sending it back to the dEP for revision. Unfortunately the dEP has done nothing substantial to reduce the proposed damage to our water. These revisions cause irreparable harm by rolling back protections against flooding and allowing the clearing of more stream buffer vegetation; buffers are crucial to protecting our water supply. The interests of developers should not come before the public’s need for clean water. Cutting red tape should not mean placing people in harm’s way and risking the quality of our water supply, but that is precisely what the dEP’s proposed self-certification and loosely defined mitigation rules will do. The league of Women Voters implores readers to contact their State Senators and ask them to urge Senate President Sweeney to post SCR66 on August 1, and vote YES. A list of Senators can be found at www.njleg.state.nj.us, or by calling the league of Women Voters at 800-792-8683 (VoTE).

Chief’s Comments On Targeting of Police Are At Once Commendable and Deplorable

To the editor: Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter’s recent comments regarding the killings of police [“local Police Respond to Tense Climate,” page one, July 20] are at once commendable and deplorable. Commendable is his pledge to increase the “positive footprint” of police in the community, and to engage in “relationship-building.” deplorable is his over-the-top claim that “officers are being targeted, ambushed, and slaughtered nationwide,” to which he intends to respond by including two officers in patrol units, presumably cars. That tactic hardly helped officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian liu, who were shot and killed while on patrol together in New York on dec. 12, 2014. Beefed up patrols will likely only panic some of our more fearful citizens (and not-yet citizens).

More to the point: there is no “nationwide slaughter” of police. There is an increase in the rate of police deaths from shootings this year, 30 so far. There were 41 deaths in 2014. The recent low point was 73 in 2011. The fact is that felonious killings of police have been fairly stable over the years, with an average, according to F.B.I. figures, of 64 per year from 1980 to 2014. Moreover, police shootings in any given year constitute about one-third of all police deaths in the line of duty, the remainder clustering around vehicle accidents and job-related illnesses. No one claims that such an occupational death rate is acceptable, but it should be kept in mind that policing is not among the top ten most dangerous jobs. Try logging or farming. Almost needless to say, the shooting of police any time is tragic. Also tragic is the fact that more police die from suicide annually than gunfire and traffic accidents combined. There were 51 in the last six months of 2015, 126 in 2012. let’s not allow ourselves to panic and then enact policy that only increases panic. let’s go for that “positive footprint” instead.

The Art of Convention Coverage, Or Where’s Norman Mailer When You Need Him?

y earliest memory of political excitement was rooting for E is en hower dur ing t he suspenseful first roll call at what the New York Times called the “bitterly divided” 1952 Republican convention in Chicago. My childhood party loyalty was due to love of Lincoln, who the history books said was a Republican, which was good enough for me—until Kennedy came along. Even so, my first vote almost went to Richard Nixon. I have Norman Mailer’s Esquire essay “Superman Comes to the Super Market” to thank for helping save me from so ignominious a fate. I only wish Mailer, who died in 2007, had been covering events in Cleveland last week. Is there a writer in the summer of 2016 brash or brilliant or courageous enough to make something novelistically engaging out of that festival of hate and its nightmare nominee? Trump would have been rich dessert for Mailer’s hungry, equally huge and infinitely more stylish and self-aware ego. In a photo online of the two tuxedo-clad men with their wives taken at a 1987 Trump Plaza party for Trump’s The Art of the Deal, Mailer is looking boisterously genial at 64, a barrelchested battler ever ready for a brawl, while Trump looks hale and handsome at 41, an age at which he had “the attention span of a 9-year-old,” according to a Fox News interview with Tony Schwartz, who ghostwrote the book being so lavishly celebrated. Mailer’s Movie Here’s one of the passages from Mailer’s piece on the 1960 Demo cratic convention that made Kennedy the hero of a movie I paid my vote to see: “His personal quality had a subtle, not quite describable intensity, a suggestion of dry pent heat perhaps, his eyes large, the pupils grey, the whites prominent, almost shocking, his most forceful feature: he had the eyes of a mountaineer. His appearance changed with his mood, strikingly so, and this made him always more interesting than what he was saying …. [Then] he would look again like a movie star, his coloring vivid, his manner rich, his gestures strong and quick, alive with that concentration of vitality a successful actor always seems to radiate.” In Mailer’s Harper magazine coverage of the 1968 Republican convention in Miami, Richard Nixon appears “like an actor with a good voice and hordes of potential, but the despair of his drama coach”(“Dick, you just got to learn how to move”). To make the inept actor worthy of his movie, Mailer concocts a comeback scenario based on Nixon’s infamously abject response to reporters after losing the 1962 election for governor of California (“you won’t have Dick Nixon to kick around any more”). In 1968 Mailer gives him “the attentive guarded look of an old ball player” or of “an old con seriously determined to go respectable.” Behold,

Tricky Dick has “grown from a bad actor to a surprisingly good actor.” What Mailer’s actually doing is an extended analytical stream-of-consciousness dissertation on the theme of Nixon, a political pariah about whom The Norman has never, until now, had anything “nice” to say. Finally, the only way the reporter can make the candidate interesting is to rewrite him in his own image, old/new Mailer channeling old/ new Nixon. Of all the impressions Mailer brought back from the 1968 Republican convention, however, his sketch of failed candidate Nelson Rockefeller remains the most memorable. Beginning with another movie hero analogy (“Spencer Tracy’s younger brother gone into politics”), Mailer describes “an all but p e r fe c t f a c e for President, virile, friendly, rough-hewn, of t h e c o m mon man, yet uncommon,” with “only one f law- -an odd and unpleas ant mouth, a catfish mouth, wide, unnaturally wide with very thin lips. In the center of the mouth there seemed almost another mouth which did the speaking, somewhat thicker lips which pursed, opened, deliberated--all the while the slitt h i n c or n e r s of the mouth seemed off on their own, not really moving with the center.” Given that devastating, indelible image of Nelson Rockefeller, imagine what Mailer would do with slit eyes and killer shark mouth of the man the Republicans nominated at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena. The Anger Is Viral A recent example of what a contemporary writer with serious literary creds might make of the Trump phenomenon is George Saunders’s long July 11/18 New Yorker article, “Trump Days.” With Mailer, you have a famously competitive novelist providing a dense, expansive, intensely personal approach. Saunders, who is known primarily for his short fiction, goes straight to his subject with a “side view of a head of silver-yellow hair and a hawklike orange-red face, the cheeks of which, if stared at steadily enough, will seem, through some optical illusion, to glow orange-redder at moments when the crowd is especially pleased.”

A few paragraphs later Saunders offers a choice quote from who else but Mailer on the country’s “pioneer lust for the unexpected and incalculable,” and there are passages throughout that the master would appreciate, as when Saunders notes how Trump’s “autocratic streak is presentationally complicated by a Ralph Kramdenesque vulnerability.” Reflecting on the behavior of Trump’s audiences, a subject he fully and fair-mindedly explores, Saunders asks, “Where is all this anger coming from? It’s viral, and Trump is Typhoid Mary.” Toward the end of the article, Saunders rounds back to Mailer and his description of democracy’s “terrifying premise” that there is ultimately “more good than bad in the sum of us and our workings.” To which Saunders s a y s , “ We’ l l s e e ,” b e fo r e expanding on America’s “two m i n d s ab ou t the Other,” a less exercised v a r i at i o n o n Mailer’s r unning war between God and Satan. In his penultimate paragraph, however, Saunders enters a similar area of thought w ith his uneasy response to a rally poster celebrating Tr u mp as “a guardian angel from heaven.” Having been, as his subtitle promises, “up close with the candidate and his crowds,” Saunders makes an admission that Mailer avoided, at least in 1968: which is that the American “experiment” could, within his “very lifetime, fail.” Racial Profiling Among the few sixties artifacts I’ve held onto is the issue of Harper’s headed “Politics ’68 featuring Mailer’s “Miami and Chicago” in big red white and blue letters. The magazine is an interesting document in itself, particularly if you’ve seen AMC’s hit series, Mad Men. Liquor ads predominate, with Dewars and Johnnie Walker on the back and inside front covers, while the Lincoln Continental (“America’s most distinguished motor car”) occupies the inside back cover, where a handsome white couple of obvious if casual means stand beside a big dark car with an unmistakable resemblance to the one President Kennedy rode through the streets of Dallas in; behind the couple is a large, lavish showpiece of a house.

The most remarkable ad, however, is the one for Western Electric that greets you as you open the magazine. Headed Now daddy brings home the bacon, it shows a handsome African American man holding a bag of groceries in one arm and his infant daughter in the other. The message is that Western Electric is offering job training programs to make sure “men who can’t read or w rite too well” have a chance at getting “a decent job.” In a program that lasts as long as 44 weeks, a man works for six hours, learns basic educational skills for two, and gets paid for eight. And when the course is over, trainees stay with Western Electric. The ad ends with this sentence, “In a country like ours, there’s no reason why every man shouldn’t have the right to be a breadwinner, in every sense of the word.” Anyone interested in the state of “t he A mer ican exper iment” mere months after the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King might be struck by the narrative implicit in a politically correct black and white Western Electric ad that seems to be speaking to what Saunders calls “the somewhat better angels of our nature” almost 50 years later in an issue of The New Yorker whose cover image, the work of Kadir Nelson, is titled “A Day at the Beach.” The cover shows an African American fat her holding his daughter’s hand while his little boy rides on his shoulders and his pretty wife adjusts her sunglasses. The man’s swimming trunks have a red band above blue and white stripes. He’s an imposing figure, masked by a pair of sunglasses reflecting the summer sky, a detail some readers might see simply as an “artistic” touch. People like those in the crowds described by Saunders, however, might read a hint of menace into the powerfully built man with the no-nonsense expression. The first ad you see, the one facing the contents page, is for the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club in Bermuda and shows an exotic-looking white woman not unlike the ones seen in erectile dysfunction ads up to her shoulders in water. W hat can you say? Let Ger trude Stein have the last word. Gertrude Stein’s Q and A n this day, July 27, in 1946, Gertrude Stein died following surgery for stomach cancer. Alice B. Toklas has provided several versions of her partner’s last words, though the essence of the message never varies. Before going into surgery, Stein said, “What is the answer?” When Toklas said nothing, Stein said, “In that case, what is the question?” Which seems a pretty good assessment of the state of things in the summer of 2016. —Stuart Mitchner

“SATURN’S RINGS”: Elyn Zimmerman will have a solo exhibition titled “Wind, Water, Stone” at the Grounds for Sculpture starting August 27.

Grounds for Sculpture Fall/Winter Season

Grounds For Sculpture has announced its Fall/Winter 2016-17 season featuring major solo exhibitions by two distinguished American sculptors, Elyn Zimmerman and Ned Smyth. Both artists are pioneers of public art and long-time participants in the New York art world, exhibiting at some of the most prominent galleries and museums. Their works are represented in museum, private, and public collections throughout the United States and beyond. Also opening in the new season are the works of sixteen emerging artists who were selected from hundreds of national and international submissions in

the International Sculpture Center’s 22nd Annual Outstanding Student Achievement Awards in Contemporary Sculpture. Paul Henry Ramirez’s major installation “RATTLE” closes out the exhibition line-up. The artist’s multi-dimensional exploration and transformation of the gallery space employs painting, architecture, light and sound, which together form an unforgettable viewer experience. Elyn Zimmerman’s solo exhibition, “Wind, Water, Stone” will begin the season. Her work will be on view in the East Gallery from August 27 – January 7, 2018, a n d t h e D om e s t i c A r t s Building Mezzanine from October 23, 2016 until April

2, 2017. This exhibition focuses on Zimmerman’s photography, sculptures, and public works. Best known for large-scale stone installations, her work explores the relationship between light, color, scale, material, and the changing aspects of two- and three-dimensional spaces. The East Gallery will focus on her public sculptural works and the relationship of these works to her archeological photography. Stone sculptures in the adjacent outdoor hedge gardens continue the exhibition outdoors. The gallery in The Domestic Arts building will further explore Zimmerman’s works on paper, juxtaposing recent photographic collages of the night sky with pastel drawings of

clouds. The exhibition will also include a series of ink and wash drawings of moving water. T h e 42 - a c r e s o f t h e Grounds For Sculpture include more than 270 sculpt u re s by renow ne d a nd emerging contemporary artists, each thoughtfully sited on landscaped parkland full of native and exotic trees and f lowers. The works, many of them monumental, include those of such distinguished artists as Clement Meadmore, A nthony Caro, Beverly Pepper, Kiki Smith, George Segal, and Magdalena Abakanowicz. The Grounds for Sculpture includes six indoor galleries, plus educational and entertaining programming year round. Hours are TuesdaySunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more i n for m at i o n v i s i t w w w. groundsforsculpture.org. ——— “FLOWERING QUINCE”: This oil painting of a flowering Japa“The Mutt and Jeff Show” nese Quince is by local artist Jeffrey Charlesworth.

Artworks Exhibit Showcases Latina Artists

Exploding stereotypes and showing there’s a world of Latina art beyond Frida, Artworks will present “Mujeres,” a group show in September featuring the work of five women artists: Esperanza Cortes, Guadalupe Reyes, Jennifer R ivera, Tamara Torres and Mary Valverde. Coming from diverse cult ure s and backg rou nds, these Latina women create art that is varied, technically proficient and thoroughly contemporary, as well as being socially engaged and fem inist. “Mujeres” w ill be on exhibit at Artworks’ main gallery in downtown Trenton from September 6 through October 1, with an opening reception and special artistic performance on September 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. Artworks will also host a cultural forum and live music on September 24, from 2 to 4 p.m. as part of the “Mujeres” show. The artists in “Mujeres” have roots in Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Puerto Rico, by way of New York Cit y and Trenton. Their varied work ranges from painting and collage, to installation and site-specific performance art. “We believe this groundbreaking show will be the first allLatina artist exhibition in the capital city,” said exhibit curator Eva Loayza. “‘Mujeres’ will show the complexity and range of L at i n a wo m e n a n d L a tino culture in the United States,” said Loayza. “We hope to demonstrate that we are more than feisty, fiery, spicy and all the other adjectives that have been assigned to us by mainstream culture; that we are more than the limited portrayals in the media and elsewhere,” she said. “Latinas have been oversexualized and oversimplified. We have been dumbeddown and lumped under a title that’s so vast that our individuality is lost. ‘Mujeres’ seeks to redress these misconceptions, showing that while language and cultural similarities bond us, we are uniquely different,” Loayza added. Artworks is Trenton’s visual art center, connecting

com mu nit y, cu lt ure and creativity through the arts. Artworks is located in downtown Trenton at 19 Everett Alley. Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Thursday and Friday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. For information on exhibitions and other Artworks events and programs go to artworkstrenton.org, or call (609) 394-9436. ———

The Infiltrator

CINEMA REVIEW

Cranston Plays Undercover Agent in Fact-Based Drama

ablo Escobar (1949-1993) was an infamous mobster who ran Colombia’s Medellin drug cartel with an iron fist. During his reign, Escobar controlled about 80 percent of the global cocaine market, and took in about $70 million/day. To maintain his power, the ruthless kingpin had his henchmen assassinate thousands of adversaries, including policemen, politicians, witnesses, judges, and journalists. Therefore, to infiltrate the ranks of such a vicious operation at its height in the 80s was certainly a very difficult and dangerous undertaking. However, the risks didn’t deter U.S. Customs Agent Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston), even though he had a wife (Juliet Aubrey) and two children (Lara Decaro and Niall Hayes). Robert assured his spouse that this would be his last assignment before retirement. He adopted the alias Bob Musella and pretended to be a shady Tampa businessman who was willing to turn the drug cartel’s drug money into Florida real estate. He recruited two agents to help him bring off this daring sting. One was Kathy Ertz (Diane Kruger), a novice who posed as his fiancée on her first undercover case. The other was Emir Abreu (John Leguizamo), a new partner who has street smarts. Soon the trio is swept into a seedy underworld where they have a close brush

with death at every turn. However, by proving themselves to be capable and trustworthy money launderers, they gradually work their way up the Medellin cartel food chain to the point where they gain the confidence of Roberto Alcaino (Benjamin Bratt), Escobar’s Miami-based right-hand man. Consequently, Bob and Kathy become friends with Roberto and his wife, Gloria (Elena Anaya). They are regularly invited over for dinner to the Alcainos’ sprawling mansion, however, the host always reminds Bob and Kathy about the gruesome fate that awaits snitches and traitors. Thus unfolds The Infiltrator, a riveting, cat-and-mouse thriller directed by Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer). The screenplay was adapted by Furman’s mother Ellen from Mazur’s memoir of the same name. The film stars Bryan Cranston, who ratchets up the tension by portraying his conflicted character with a convincing combination of arrogance and existential dread. Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for pervasive profanity, graphic violence, drug use, and some sexuality. In English and Spanish with subtitles. Running time: 127 minutes. Distributor: Broad Green Pictures. —Kam Williams

Instruction, Leagues, Camps and Tournaments Are Available From Princeton Tennis Program

“I

am very passionate about tennis, and I love sharing my passion and turning kids and adults on to tennis.” Gwen Guidice, executive director of the Princeton Tennis Program, is fortunate to work in the field she loves. Being able to pass on her skill and knowledge of the game to others is her mission.

IT’S NEW To Us

The non-profit Princeton Tennis Program has been introducing the challenges and fun of tennis to players since the organization’s founding in 1954 by Eve Kraft and John Conroy. “Eve was the Princeton University women’s tennis varsity coach, and in 1954, her aim was to make tennis more accessible to kids,” explains Ms. Guidice. “She really began the program in her back yard, where she had a tennis court. It later moved to University Place, and in 2009, we came to our current location, formerly

the Princeton Indoor Tennis Center, now renamed the Eve Kraft Community Tennis Center, at 92 Washington Road.” Model Program Mr. Conroy and Ms. Kraft, now both deceased, are charter members of the Mercer County Tennis Hall of Fame, and the program they began more than 60 years ago has won many regional and national awards. It has served as a model program for communities across the country, and was voted one of the top 50 tennis organizations by Tennis Magazine. In 1999, it was one of just eight organizations nationwide to be recognized for outstanding achievement in U.S.A. tennis programming. Princeton Tennis Program (PTP) has been named “Organization of the Year” by the USTA/NJ District and Middle States Section in 2000 and 2010. In 2014, the Eve Kraft Community Tennis Center was named a premier facility by USTA Middle States Section. Over the years, more than 120,000 local residents have participated in PTP programs. In 2002, the organization expanded its

outdoor program to include Veteran’s Park in Hamilton, which provided access to 30 additional courts. PTP also includes six indoor courts at the Eve Kraft Center, 15 outdoor courts at Princeton Community Park, and nine at Princeton University (the last for summer camp). PTP works closely with the USTA ( United States Tennis Association) and offers leagues, team tennis, and sanctioned tournaments as well as special programs for other groups, such as seniors, wheelchair players, Special Olympics, and school children. The organization cites as its strategic focus: “To grow the game of tennis by offering a full pathway of high quality group instruction and programs for youth and adults of the greater central New Jersey region without regard to age, ability, skill level, or financial means.” Further, it states, “The Princeton Tennis Program is dedicated to fostering conditions that encourage all people to feel welcomed to participate in the sport of tennis as a physically and mentally healthy life-style choice. Standard of Excellence “PTP is dedicated to serving players who might not other w ise par ticipate in tennis, and to pursuing a standard of excellence in teaching and education that encourages the development of health, character, good sportsmanship, and responsible citizenship.”

Ms. Guidice has been executive director since 1995, and prior to that, she was program manager for the Navy in the Department of Defense. Now, at PTP, her mission is to oversee the entire program. Tennis has always been important to her, she recalls. Growing up in Westfield, she began playing as a girl, and later taught tennis in high school and college. Instruction is not a major part of her responsibilities as executive director, which mainly involves carrying out the vision of the Board of Directors. As she explains, “I handle the administration, hire the instructors, handle the payroll, etc.” But she tries to set aside time to participate in PTP drills and USTA leagues whenever she can. “We have eight full-time pros,” points out Ms. Guidice. “And they are all certified tennis instructors, certified by the USPTA (United States Professional Tennis A s s o c i at ion ) or U S P T R (United States Professional Tennis Registry). Seven men and one woman, they are all very different, with different personalities. One instructor is in charge of leagues and tournaments. “We start teaching kids at the age of three, and we use junior rackets and transitional balls. Our studentteacher ratio is six to one: six students to one teacher. Typically, there are four or five students in a class. The main focus is to make sure they have a good time and to teach them enough so they can take the sport as far as they would like to.

GAME, SET, MATCH: “Our main focus is accessibility. We want to make tennis available to those who are not even aware of it. Part of our mission is to provide year-round quality tennis for everyone. We have many outreach programs, and we teach 5,000 students a year.” Gwen Guidice, executive director of the Princeton Tennis Program, wants to share her love of tennis with players of all ages and backgrounds. Top Level “Typically, we have three eight-week outdoor pro grams a year: spring, summer, and fall, and a 30-week indoor winter program,” continues Ms. Guidice. “Classes are an hour and a half for adults and kids 10 and older. Classes for younger children are a half-hour to an hour. “We also have a tournament training program for kids seven and up who exhibit a lot of potential. In addition, there is an elite program for kids 12 and older who want to take the game as far as they can. They are ranked, and can be top level players in high school and later in college.” All ages, including many adults, enjoy the opportunities available at PTP, and an adult mini camp is scheduled for 3 days, beginning August 22. Those interested in participating may register now. Also, on August 1, registration will be open for the entire fall/winter indoor program, which extends from September 1 through April. This can include round robins and different levels of drills. Ms. Guidice believes tennis offers many benefits, from exercise to sportsmanship to friendship. “To me, sports is a great life lesson. It teaches

citizenship. When you are out on the court, it’s about the integrity of the sport, respecting the rules and respecting the opponent. It’s about sportsmanship.” People have different reasons for taking up tennis, she adds. “If you have a group of six adults, one person may just want exercise, two may want to socialize and maybe improve their game a little. The others want to get better and go as far as they can. They all have different reasons, and they all enjoy it. “My own favorite way to network is to play tennis. It’s a great way to meet new people. Everyone wants that sense of community.” And, it’s never too late, she adds. “We have players 70 and older!” Indeed, people can play this game as long as their knees hold out, and with the advent of knee replacements and other modern medical miracles, that can be longer and longer! PTP offers different payment arrangements, as well as financial aid and scholarships, based on need.

Reconsidering Decision to Retire after London Games, PU Grad Stone Returning to Olympics in Single Sculls

fter placing seventh in the women’s single sculls at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Genevra “Gevvie” Stone believed that was going to be her last hurrah in rowing. Having taken a hiatus from Tufts University Medical School to train for the London Games, former Princeton University standout Stone was determined to finish up her studies. “I thought I was done after London; I was restarting school two weeks after,” said Stone, a 2007 Princeton grad and member of the legendary Tiger open women’s eight that cruised to an NCAA title in 2006. “It was going to be harder to train during third or fourth year than it is during first and second because you are in the hospital and you are an apprentice. I had gone to the dean of the med school and told him that the London Olympics was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I had really planned on retiring.” Stone plunged back into studies but gradually found she couldn’t resist the pull of rowing. “In the back of my head there was just a little question of how fast could I get,” said Stone. “I was still getting faster through London. I remember coaches had approached my dad (Gregg Stone) and said I could be on the podium in Rio. There was that little seed, I knew I still loved it. I was enjoying training. I missed being outside. I had a family rotation and I would be stuck in traffic coming

home and I was wishing I was out rowing and not stuck in traffic. There were just a bunch of things that were leading toward my feeling that I wasn’t done yet. I had another conversation with the dean and said “I know I said it was a once in a lifetime thing, but maybe it was a twice in a lifetime thing.” Stone resumed training and competing while earning her M.D. in 2014, proving that she had the speed to represent the U.S. at the Rio Summer Games next month in the single sculls after rolling to victory in the national selection regatta. “In this sport, dedicating yourself to the process is a big part of it, putting in the time and the work,” said Stone, 31, reflecting on earning a return trip to the Olympics. “You have to love what you do in order to successfully devote yourself to a sport like rowing. You have to have a passion for it, a hunger for it. I remember reading a part of Boys in the Boat and one of the quotes refers to how a rower left a little bit of his heart in the boat. Rowers leave a lot of their heart on the water. I definitely feel that in big races and big regattas, there is a little bit left behind because there is so much time and energy to go into that love of the sport.” The memories of thriving in the upbeat atmosphere surrounding the London Summer Games also made Stone second guess her decision to leave competitive rowing. “It was amazing, I just remember a ton of positive

energy on the part of the athletes, the volunteers, and the spectators,” said Stone. “Everyone in the city of London was so excited about the Olympics. I had great races. It was definitely progress at that point for me. I had only been in one world championship prior to that and I was 11th. I had beat a few women who I had never beaten before. I think I performed in terms of what I set as the standard for myself and what I should execute. Not everyone’s best race is capable of winning a gold medal and four years ago I wasn’t capable.” Remaining in Boston and rowing on the Charles River, Stone is coached by her father, a former star rower at Harvard who competed for the U.S. national program and qualified to represent the U.S. in the single sculls at the 1980 Moscow Summer Games but missed his chance at the Olympics due to the U.S. boycott. “It is good although sometimes we disagree,” said Stone with a chuckle, reflecting on the daily sessions with her dad. That work paid dividends last year when Stone achieved a major breakthrough by taking fourth in the single sculls at the 2105 World Rowing Championships. “I wanted to be on the podium but being fourth in a pre-Olympic year is the best year to be fourth because you are in the A final which qualifies the boat for the Olympics,” said Stone. “It was my first international senior A final, which was awesome.

It felt so good and then it is such motivation. It is within your reach but you are not there.” In order to maximize her chances of getting on the podium in Rio, Stone has been fine-tuning her regimen off the water, going to a chiropractor for physical therapy, monitoring her diet, doing yoga, and intensifying her weight training. “I have a pretty good idea of what to do on the water, there is only a limited quantity of what you can do on the water,” said the 6’0, 157-pound Stone, noting that she resumed eating meat after years as a vegetarian when nutrition labs revealed she was deficient in amino acids. Stone was putting in plenty of high-quality work in her final weeks in Boston before leaving for Rio. “We just started going back to race pace work, building back up to speed,” said Stone. “I am doing 16 workouts a week. I am on the water twice a day most days. In the middle of the week I take a mental day so I row in the morning and then my afternoon workout is on the stationary bike. It is mostly rowing and weight lifting Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and yoga on Sunday.” Having taken second at World Rowing Cup II earlier this year, Stone has high hopes heading into the Rio competition, which runs from August 6-13 on the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. “I think I am a medal contender,” said Stone. “The results I have had in the last two years showed that I am definitely a contender to be on the podium. I have more

ROWING TO RIO: Gevvie Stone displays her intensity in a single sculls race this season. Stone, a former Princeton University star who took seventh in the single sculls in the 2012 Summer Olympics, is making a return trip to the Olympics as she will compete at the Rio Summer Games next month. It figures to be the last competition for Stone, a 2014 graduate of Tufts University Medical School, who will be applying for residencies this fall. (Photo provided by USRowing) awareness and wisdom in the single as the years go by and as I race more and more. I think you learn something from every race that you take with you in the next one to make you a better racer.” While Stone flew under the radar before the 2012 Summer Olympics, she has been a media darling in the buildup to Rio, being profiled in the New York Times and making the cover of Rowing magazine. “It has been a little different this time around because there has been so much more Olympic hoopla for me,” said Stone. “It is really flattering and it has been amazing. I was selected as one of the athletes that NBC is going to focus on; I have gone to L.A. to do stuff for that.” With her medical education, Stone is sensitive to the issues stemming from the possibility of rowing on polluted water in Rio.

“I can only control so much and I think for now being in Boston what I control is my practice everyday and executing to the best of my ability on the water,” said Stone. “There are little things that I can do here. I updated my vaccinations. I am taking precautions with the oars. I am making sure the water bottle hasn’t been touched by contaminated water. I am washing my hands more and never drinking out of a tap.” Vowing that the Rio Games will be her last hurrah, Stone knows that she made the right decision to stay on the water over the last four years. “The residencies start in June so I will start the application process this fall,” said Stone, who aspires to be an orthopedic surgeon. “I will row for fun, recreationally, but this is it for competition so there is definitely an importance to it. It has been crazy. I thought I was leaving it behind; it has been a journey. I am so glad I did it.” —Bill Alden

Moving to the U.S. Men’s 8 After Taking Bronze in the 4, Ochal Primed for Another Medal Run at Rio Games Glenn Ochal has proven his versatility and skill during his time with the U.S. rowing program. In 2012, the former Princeton University standout helped the U.S. four win bronze at the London Summer Games. In the intervening years, he has competed in the pair and the eight as well as the four. “I have jumped around in a couple of different boats,” said the 6’4, 205 -pound Ochal, 30, a 2008 Princeton graduate who won gold with the Tiger heavyweights at the 2006 Eastern Sprints. “They are all challenging in their own respects. I enjoy rowing with them all and racing them all. It is fun to go out and race whenever you can.” Next month, Ochal will be racing for the U.S. in the men’s eight at the Rio Summer Games and is confident he will have fun with that crew. “I think the eight is a little different of a boat,” said Ochal. “There is twice as many people and the cox. It is a little more of a drag race.” Af ter taking bronze in London, Ochal was primed to go for another trip to the Olympics. “It was a great experience,” said Ochal, reflecting on the 2012 Summer Games. “You put a lot of time into it and it seems like you get a lot back.” W hile crew is a spor t that emphasizes teamwork with a boat striving to be in synch, knowing that it is only as good as its weakest link, Ochal’s work ethic has stood out, evidenced by getting named as USRowing’s Male Athlete of the Year in 2012. “It is pretty unique, it is voted on by your peers,” said Ochal. “I guess that is

the most important part, the people on the team respect who I am as an athlete and as a hard worker.” The U.S. eight has to work hard to make the Rio Summer Games as it went into the 2016 Final Oly mpic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland this May as one of five boats vying for the final two spots. The U.S. punched its ticket with a late surge to narrowly win the race. “It was probably the most pressure I have been under in the sport of rowing,” said Ochal. “Say you have a job and you don’t get paid monthly but you get paid once very four years and you only get paid if you do an excellent job. Even a really good job may not be good enough. Since we did an excellent job to qualify, we are getting rewarded with a big pay day. We get to go to the Olympics. The crews that raced against us did as much work as we did training, but they don’t get that reward because it is the nature of the process. It was a lot of pressure.” In Ochal’s view, surviving that pressure-cooker was a matter of rising to the occasion. “It was really close, it was three boats within a second,” recalled Ochal. “It was tight racing and we had a good race. We weren’t in the lead until 20 meters to go. All the boats were right with us. All the guys in the boat raised themselves to the challenge. It was let’s get through; this is our lives.” After qualifying for the Olympics, the boat took bronze at the 2016 World Rowing Cup II. “It was definitely a confidence builder, there are only seven boats in the 8s at the Olympics so you only have to beat a couple of crews to

be near the top of the field,” said Ochal. “We have the speed. Based off of previous results, we are in the mix. We showed decent amounts of speed getting third at the world cup regatta. The field is really tight and we just need to go out there and have a good race.” Rowing out of Princeton boathouse on Lake Carnegie, the crew was training 13 times a week in its final build-up to Rio. “I think the boat is in a good spot, there is still a month to go so we don’t have a ton of prep work to do,” said Ochal, noting that the crew rows every morning and then alternates between rowing, ergometer sessions, or weight training in the afternoon. In Ochal’s view, the boat can end up in a good spot at the Rio competition, which runs from August 6-13 on the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. “It is sticking to our technique, executing the race plan and putting ourselves into the race,” said Ochal. “Starting really well is impor tant ; we need to be pushing our physical limits there.” Drawing on his experience in London, Ochal knows it is important to not get distracted by the hype and pressure that comes with the Olympics. “I know what it will be like, that doesn’t mean I won’t be as nervous,” said Ochal. “I have to make sure I do everything I need to do and treat it like it is another race. Everybody has got to be on the same page because if some people start going off on their own, that can hurt us. The sum is greater than the parts.” —Bill Alden

Tyler Nase was exposed to international rowing well before he started his career with the Princeton University men’s lightweight crew program. The Phoenixville, Pa. native joined the U.S. national junior program in 2008, earning bronze at the 2010 Junior World Championships in the M8+. U t i l i z i n g t h at e x p e r i ence, Nase ’13 enjoyed a solid career for the Tiger light weights, highlighted by medals at the Eastern Sprints and Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta and titles at the Head of Charles. A f ter g raduat ing f rom Princeton, Nase decided to test his skills at the highest levels of world rowing. “My goal was to just see if I could make the national team,” said Nase, who served as captain of the Tigers in his senior season with the program. “Once I got a feel for the national team, then it was putting my sights on Rio.” Nase started training with senior men’s lightweights in Oklahoma City and worked his way up the ranks. He won a silver in the lightweight pair at the 2013 World Rowing Cup III and placed 15th in the lightweight pair at the 2014 World Rowing Championships. A year later, he moved to the lightweight men’s four and helped the boat take seventh in the 2015 Worlds. “Over the last three years, it blows my mind how much technical progress I have made,” said Nase, reflecting on his growth as a rower since joining the national program on a full-time basis. That progress landed Nase a spot on the lightweight men’s four that will be competing for the U.S. next month at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. “I was honored; this has been a big dream of mine since I was on the junior team in 2008,” said Nase, 25, who will be making his Olympics debut. “I was just overjoyed; it was also very humbling because I train with this group and our group had about eight guys so that was the best day for me but also four other guys didn’t make it

and it was very somber to be around them when they got the news that they weren’t going to go.” Earlier this year, he helped the four take bronze at World Rowing Cup I as the team tuned up for the Olympics. “The boat was newly selected so we had only been rowing together for about two weeks and our whole mindset was we are just going to go to World Cup I and see what happens,” said Nase. “It was a really good stepping stone for us.” It has been good for Nase to be rowing on the boat with former Princeton teammate, Robin Prendes ’11, a 2012 Olympian who helped the lightweight four take eighth at the London Summer Games. “It is really cool, I think Robin and also Tony (Fahden), he was in the 2012 Oly mpic s as wel l, b ot h bring a lot of experience,” said Nase of the four which also includes Edward King. “It has been learning a lot from them and working together.” Nase will be working out of the stroke seat, responsible for setting the stroke rate and rhythm for the rest of the crew to follow. “Right now I am sitting stroke; I love it,” said Nase. “I like it when people need to depend on me. That is when I am doing my best; I think I can really contribute a lot to the boat there.” As the boat headed to the familiar waters of Lake Carnegie in early May to go through its final training block before leaving for Rio this week, Nase saw it getting better and better. “A large majority of our work this year has been focused on building a really good base, your endurance basically,” said Nase. “Now that we are getting closer to the games, we are taking back the mileage a little bit and really upping the intensity these last eight weeks or so. Everything has been going really well. I feel good with how we are rowing; it feels confident and it feels really consistent.” Nase also feels good about a key aspect of his sport, managing his weight. Under international rules, the rowers need to average out to 70 kilograms (154.3 pounds) and no rower can weight

more than 72.5 kilograms (159.8 pounds). “It is something I am used to; we have a really good suppor t network and we work directly with a dietitian,” said the 6’0 Nase. “Basically what we do is we find a comfortable weight to train at throughout the year and then as we approach competition, we go through an eight week process of cutting out a lot of fat in our diets. Our objective is to lose as much fat as possible while still maintaining the same muscle mass. I will train around 165 and then over the eight weeks before I will gradually come down around 159. I will sweat down the day of for the rest of the remaining weight I need.” In Nase’s view, maintaining focus in Rio will help the boat contend for a spot on the podium in the Olympic competition on the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon which begins August 6. “The medal is definitely our No. 1 objective; I think we have trained the entire year with that mindset as well,” said Nase, noting that he isn’t overly concerned about polluted water the rowers may encounter in Rio, noting that USRowing has developed a protocol to help the athletes minimize contact with anything contaminated. “I think we just need to go down there and put out our best possible race. We talk a lot about keeping things internal when we are at the Olympics and only controlling what we can control. For us, that is just maximizing how well we can execute. I think if we execute well, we will find ourselves on the medal stand.” A f ter t he row ing con cludes, Nase plans to soak up the scene in Rio over the second week of the Games. “Once racing is over, I am really looking forward to experiencing the games,” said Nase. “I will have a good chance to go see other competitions and I am also really looking forward to walking into the closing ceremonies.” No matter what happens in Rio, Nase plans to keep competing at the international level. “I will tell you that my gut says that I am having way

PU Sports Roundup Princeton Men’s Lax Adds Bernhardt to Staff

ON WATCH: Princeton University women’s soccer star Tyler Lussi goes after the ball in action last fall. Rising senior striker Lussi was recently named to the watch list for the MAC Hermann Trophy, college soccer’s top honor. Lussi, a native of Lutherville, Md. and a 2015 NSCAA second-team All-America honoree and 2015 MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist, helped Princeton win Ivy League title last fall with an undefeated league campaign. The Tigers advanced to the NCAA second round with an opening round win over Boston College. Lussi scored 15 goals last year, putting her four behind Esmeralda Negron ‘05 for the program’s career record of 47. Lussi has a total of 98 points, just 14 short of Negron’s program record of 112. Since Princeton’s 2015 campaign ended, Lussi has spent time with the U.S. U-23 Women’s National Team, playing in tournaments in Europe and training in Florida and California with the American squad.

INVASIVE EMERALD ASH BORER THE GREEN MENACE With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES, INC.

Most of you have either heard of or are familiar with the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) especially if you read the excellent front page article in Town Topics Wednesday, June 15th written by Don Gilpin with contribution by our Municipal Arborist Lorriane Konopka and Mayor Liz Lempert. Our column of September 2015 noted that this pest was then active in five New Jersey communities and moving quickly throughout the state. Unfortunately, it has now been positively identified to be present in the Princeton area. The adult EAB is a metallic green insect about one-half inch long and one-eighth inch wide. The larvae (worm like destructive stage) bore through the bark and feeds cutting off the flow of nutrients and eventually killing the tree. EAB attacks all species of true Ash. The Mountain Ash is not a true Ash and therefore is not threatened. Where can you start? •First identify whether you have any Ash trees of significance on your property •If so, consult a Professional Arborist for an evaluation EAB symptoms that you may see include: •Earlier than usual fall coloration •Dieback of branches with sparse foliage usually near the top •New branches sprouting from the lower trunk •Woodpeckers feeding on infested trunk •D-shaped exit holes in trunk Treatments – Seasonal: •Current through early Fall (prior to leaf drop) – Trunk injection •Late Spring to mid Summer – Trunk spray •Early Spring – Soil injection Report signs of the beetle to the Princeton Arborist Lorriane Konopka (609) 497-7639 or Department of Agriculture at (609) 406-6939. For an inspection and evaluation of your Ash trees by a Woodwinds Arborist, please contact us at (609) 924-3500 or treecare@woodwindsassociates.com

Although the Splash ended up going 1-2 in pool play to get eliminated from the national competition at that stage, Marciano gained a lot from the experience. “I think it elevated my game; we played some of the best girls in the country and some of the best teams in the country so I think,” said Marciano, a midfielder. “When you play against better players, you become better.” Marciano started playing soccer at eight years old and it didn’t take long for her to develop a passion for the game. “I picked up on it very quickly,” said Marciano. “The love for it just started to grow as I continued on.” I n f l u e n c e d b y fo r m e r Princeton University women’s soccer coach Ju lie Shackford and her daughter Kayleigh, Marciano decided the best way to grow as a player was to join the PDA program. “I had played a lot with Kayleigh,” recalled Marciano. “As Kayleigh tried out for PDA, I went along with her. I started at PDA when I was 11.” Staying with PDA since then, Marciano has gained a deeper understanding of the sport. “I learned the fundamentals of soccer and worked on my technical ability,” said Marciano. “That led me to be able to play the possession style of soccer that PDA teaches and ingrains into their players.” Becoming a member of the PDA’s Splash team last year, Marciano sensed that the squad could do some special things. “Jeremy Beardsley (former Montgomery High girls’ soccer coach) just came on last year,” said Marciano. “He completely changed the dynamic and character of the team; I think that really helped with our success.” The Splash enjoyed a lot of success in the 2015-16 regular season, going 110-5 to book its spot in the national playoffs. “We turned out to be the Northeast Conference champions so that is how we got to San Diego,” said Marciano. “It was incredible; it was what we worked for the whole season.” As a holding midfielder, Marciano performs yeoman’s work for the team. “I sit in front of the center backs and behind the two

attacking mids,” explained Marciano. “I am kind of like the eyes of the field and I switch the ball from one side to the other and get us out of tricky situations.” The Splash ran into some high pressure situations in San Diego, defeating the Crossfire Premier (Wash.) 3-0 in its opening game before losing 1-0 to CASL (N.C.) and 2-0 to the Slammers FC (Calif.). “That was a really good game,” said Marciano, reflecting on the opener. “We played well in the second game. We kept most of the possession; it was just one of those unlucky times where they happened to get an opportunity and finished it. We played the Slammers in the last game, they were the reigning national champion and they ultimately won again this year so we’re knocked out by the champs.” Since returning from San Diego, Marciano has been putting in additional time honing her skills, working with former Princeton star and assistant coach Esmeralda Negron at the

Champions League Soccer Academy. “We work on the technical pieces of the game, passing, touches and stuff,” said Marciano. “She has really elevated my game over the past two or three years.” With PHS starting preseason practice in midAugust, Marciano is looking forward to utilizing her technical prowess. “I think the seasons I have To: ___________________________ played in high school have brought different element From: a_________________________ Date & Time: __________________ to my game,” said MarciaHere is a proof of your ad, scheduled to run ___________________. no.

Richard J. Miller

Richard J. Miller, 76, of Princeton, NJ died at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick on July 18 with his family at his side. Born in Kingston, NJ, he was the son of the late Bruno and Anne Miller. Dick proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps, first in the Reserves for 10 years and then volunteering for active duty in Viet Nam as a Staff Sgt. He was a member of the Marine Corps League, the American Legion, Post 0031, and the D.A.V. Chapter #41. Upon leaving the

service, he was employed for over 30 years at Nassau Conover Ford Lincoln Motor Company in Princeton, where he ended his career as Shop Forman. Dick always gave 100 percent to everything he ever did and was always willing to lend a hand. He was a skilled woodworker and in 1974 built his own home doing everything but the fireplace himself. He had a passion for going to the gym six days a week, target shooting at Fort Dix and country line dancing. He was an amazing man and his courage and determination in overcoming years of health issues due to Agent Orange were an inspiration to all who knew him. In 1990 his sister, Marian Taylor, gave him a kidney and he was forever grateful for her generosity which allowed him to see his family grow up. He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 53 years, Cheryl Cramer Miller; his son, Richard Miller (Rick) and his wife, Valerie Robinson, of Belle Mead, NJ; his daughter Karen Dewing and her husband, Matthew Dewing, of Ridgefield, CT; and his three adored grandchildren: Justin and Kensington Miller and Kayla Dewing. Dick is also survived by his sister, Joanne Jackman, of Hamilton Square, NJ.

A viewing was held on Thursday, July 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton. Burial was private. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in his honor to the Marine Corps League Trenton Detachment #207, 547 Schiller Avenue, Trenton, NJ 08610.

Kristin E. Gager Kristin E. Gager, 54, of New York City, died Sunday, July 17, 2016 at University Medical Center of Princeton after a brave battle with pancreatic cancer. Born in New Haven, CT she grew up in Princeton and resided much of her life in New York City. She was a graduate of Princeton High School 1980, Barnard College 1984 and received her PhD in History from Princeton University, 1992. She also earned an MLIS from Pratt Institute in 2005. She taught at the University of New Hampshire, served as an editor at

Princeton University Press, and worked as a librarian at Emory University. Kristin was an Advising Dean for the Columbia University Honors Program for the past 5 years. She was a brilliant, beautiful, well-read woman who traveled the world and spoke several languages. She was a devoted aunt and her dogs were her life. Daughter of the late Catharine Burrowes Gager, she is survived by her father John G. Gager, a sister and brother-in-law Andrea Gager and Don Dearborn, a brother and sister-in-law Peter Gager and Catherine Troop and her 3 beloved nieces Cat, Lacey and Emma. Kristin will be missed dearly by her family, friends, colleagues and students. She asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the ASPCA or to w w w.save-animals.org in Princeton. A Memorial Gathering will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 30, 2016 at the Chancellor Green Rotunda, Princeton University.
