Downtown  Developer 
Looks  to  New  Partner 
For  Stalled  Project 

The  developer  and  general  contrac- 
tor of  Princeton  Borough's  downtown 
development  project,  Nassau  HKT  As- 
sociates (NHKT),  has  brought  on  a  new 
financial  partner  to  mobilize  the  project 
that  has,  in  essence,  stalled  since  hit- 
ting some  logistical  snares. 

Jack  Morrison,  owner  of  Blue  Point 
Grill  and  Nassau  Street  Seafood  and 
Produce  Company,  has  been  con- 
firmed as  the  proposed  new  partner  in 
the  venture,  pending  Borough  Council 
approval.  Mr.  Morrison,  whose  name 
has  long  been  tied  to  the  development 
project  as  the  proprietor  of  the  not- 
yet-opened  Witherspoon  Grill  on  the 
plaza  adjacent  to  the  Princeton  Public 
Library,  is  expected  to  be  brought  on  as 
a  partner  with  NHKT,  providing  a  cash 
guaranty  untu  the  Borough  can  secure 
a  letter  of  credit,  according  to  Borough 
Administrator  Robert  Bruschi. 

The  developer's  agreement  that  the 
Borough  wrote  with  NHKT  Principal 
Robert  Powell  for  the  entire  redevel- 
opment project  made  NHKT  the  osten- 
sible general  contractor  both  for  build- 
ing the  Spring  Street  municipal  garage 
and  Witherspoon  House,  the  mixed  use 
commercial/residential  complex  that 
faces  the  plaza.  Part  of  that  agreement 
said  that  if  NHKT  were  to  sell  its  interest 
in  the  building,  it  would  have  to  come 
before  Borough  Council  for  a  transfer. 
The  reason  for  this  is  that  many  stipula- 
tions of  the  agreement  outline  long-term 
resolutions,  such  has  the  developer's 
obligation  to  maintain  cleanliness  in 
the  plaza.  "We  want  to  make  sure  that, 
as  this  case  is  a  kind  of  refinancing, 
that  the  original  intent  will  be  fulfilled," 
said  Borough  Mayor  Joe  O'Neill  in  an 
interview  Friday.  Borough  Council  was 
expected  to  approve  an  amendment 
to  the  agreement  Tuesday  night  after 
Town  Topics  went  to  press.  Addition- 
ally, NHKT's  Mr.  Powell  was  expected 
to  offer  a  presentation  updating  Council 
on  the  status  of  the  project. 

There  are  other  concerns  raised  by 
some  members  of  Council,  however, 
Mr  O'Neill  added,  including  the  ques- 
tion of  when  the  payments  in  lieu  of  tax- 
es would  begin,  if  the  Borough  has  the 
opportunity  to  change  the  developer,  or 
hold  the  developer  in  "default"  if  it  does 
not  fulfill  the  terms  of  the  agreement. 

Other  concerns  are  the  parking

Report  Township  P.D.  Is  Top  Heavy" 


An  independent  study  examining  the 
efficacy  and  quality  of  the  Princeton 
Township  Police  Department  sent  a 
not-so-veiled  message  to  Township 
Committee  Monday:  the  force  could  be 
cut  back. 

The  sobering  report  came  at  a  time 
when  crime  activity  in  the  greater 
Princeton  area  is  on  the  rise,  but  in 
Princeton  Township,  which  was  cited  as 
being  one  ot  the  safest  municipalities  in 
the  nation,  the  police  department  may 
be  too  crowded  for  its  own  good. 

The  report  was  compiled  and  submit- 
ted to  Committee  by  Carroll  Buracker  & 
Associates,  Inc.  the  Virginia-based  pub- 
lic safety  consulting  group  employed 
by  the  Township  to  offer  an  objective 
overview  of  the  force. 

The  400-page  report,  based  on  an 
18-week  study  that  included  interviews 
with  staff,  officers,  administration,  as 
well  as  rides  white  officers  were  on-call. 
called  for  the  removal  of  one  lieutenant, 
two  sergeants,  one  detective,  and  one 
Community  Action  Team  (CAT),  com- 
posed of  three  officers. 

The  report  did  not,  however,  call  for 
the  removal  of  street  patrolman  in  a 
department  that  was  deemed  to  be  of 
high  quality  by  Mr.  Buracker 

The  consultant  used  a  "baseline  staff- 
ing" model  that  essentially  reduces  the 
number  of  staff  within  the  department. 
In  this  case,  seven  positions  would  be 


removed  from  the  force,  all  in  depart- 
ment personnel. 

Township  Committee  did  not  offer 
any  indication  that  they  would  act  on 
Mr.  Buracker's  recommendations. 

"Every  healthy  organization  needs  a 
periodic  review,"  said  Committeeman 
Bill  Enslin,  who  spoke  after  the  hour- 
long  presentation  that  was  attended  by 
nearly  25  officers.  "Assumptions  will  not 
be  made  until  we  read  the  entire  report," 
added  Mayor  Phyllis  Marchand. 

That  said,  Mr.  Buracker  labeled  the 
department  as  "top  heavy,"  and  recom- 
mended a  new  structure.  Among  the  ar- 
eas of  concern  were  that  there  were  too 


many  staff  officers,  dispatchers,  and 
administrative  sergeant  positions.  The 
consultant  went  on  to  laud  the  munici- 
pality tor  having  a  low  crime  rate,  and 
the  department  for  having  high  confi- 
dence and  good  rapport.  Mr.  Buracker 
cited  a  statistic  that  put  the  Township's 
crime  index  at  9.65  compared  to  the 
Borough's  34.31 .  In  the  Township,  there 
are  2.1  officers  per  1000  residents  and 
in  the  Borough,  there  are  2.38  officers 
per  1000  residents. 

Mr  Buracker  attributed  the  quality  of 
life  in  the  Township  to  the  ability  of  the 
police  officers  and  dispatchers,  not  to

A  Three-Year-Old  Sapling  Planted 
To  Carry  On  a  300-Year  Tradition 


The  cemetery  might  be  the  last  place 
you  would  expect  to  find  new  Me  in 
Princeton,  but  that's  exactly  where  it 
is.  New  life  has  been  planted  and  an 
old  tree  supplanted,  as  the  tradifion  of 
the  Princeton  Elm  tree  continues  near 
the  corner  of  Wiggins  and  Witherspoon 
Streets. 

In  April,  when  the  Princeton  Cem- 
etery's stately  278-year-old  American 
elm  tree  finally  succumbed  to  a  long, 
slow  bout  with  Dutch  Elm  Disease  —  an 
affliction  that  has  wiped  out  nearly  77 
million  elms  since  it  first  struck  in  the 


early  1930s  —  the  loss  was  compa- 
rable to  the  loss  ot  another  beloved, 
historic  tree:  the  Mercer  Oak.  Now, 
like  the  great  oak,  the  Princeton  elm 
has  been  replaced  by  its  own  offspring 
Last  Thursday,  just  a  few  feet  from  the 
old  elm's  stump,  a  three-year-old  sap- 
ling was  planted  to  commemorate  the 
history  of  the  cemetery,  Witherspoon 
Street,  and  the  town. 

"It's  special  because  it's  an  offspring 
of  the  tree,  and  it's  a  link  to  the  other 
elms  throughout  the  country,"  said

RETURNING  TO  ITS  ROOTS:  A  three-year-old  Princeton  American  Elm  was  planted  in  Princeton  Cemetery  Thursday  just 
two  months  after  its  stately  278-year-old  ancestor  succumbed  to  Dutch  Elm  Disease.  The  new  tree,  near  the  corner 
of  Wiggins  and  Witherspoon  streets,  comes  from  a  long  line  of  elms  known  for  their  resistance  to  the  devastating

Stars  and  Stripes  Abound  as  Town 
Gets  Ready  for  July  4  Fireworks 


Fresh  from  the  annual  Flag 
Day  celebration,  the  Spirit  of 
Princeton  is  getting  ready  to 
wave  Old  Glory  yet  again  for 
this  year's  Independence  Day 
Celebration  Fireworks. 

The  fireworks  will  be  held 
tomorrow  evening,  June 
30th,  rain  or  shine,  at  the 
Princeton  University  Camp- 
bell and  Finney  Athletic  Fields 
next  to  the  Princeton  Football 
Stadium.  People  will  be  able 
to  enter  the  fields  as  early  as 
6:30  p.m.  to  set  up  picnics. 
The  actual  fireworks  will 
begin  shortly  after  9  p.m.  No 
alcohol  is  allowed  at  the  cele- 
bration, according  to  event 
organizers. 

While  the  actual  Indepen- 
dence Day  does  not  fall  until 
Monday,  Spirit  of  Princeton's 
Mark  Freda  said  that  because 
the  event  is  taking  place  on 
University  facilities,  the  fire- 
works need  to  take  place 
when  full  University  staff  is 
available.  The  University  is 
largely  staffed  by  skeleton 
crews  on  major  holidays  and 
cannot  support  a  large-scale 
event  such  as  the  fireworks 
event,  organizers  said. 

Faculty  Road  will  close  at  8 
p.m.  until  after  the  fireworks, 
and  University  officials  have 
asked  that  people  keep  from 
gathering  on  the  Washington 
Road  Bridge  or  the  fields  off 
of  Washington  Road  in  West 
Windsor.  The  Stadium's  toi- 
let facilities,  the  ones  closest 
to  the  fields,  will  be  open  to 
the  public.  Princeton  Univer- 
sity is  providing  parking  in: 
Lot  21  (near  Jadwin  Gym); 
the  parking  garage  on  Pros- 
pect Street;  the  lots  off  Ivy 
Lane;  the  lots  off  Washington 
Road.

Leslie  Burger  to  Address 
Chamber  of  Commerce 

Director  of  the  Princeton 
Public  Library  and  President- 
elect of  the  American  Library 
Association  Leslie  Burger  will 
be  the  guest  speaker  at  the 
Princeton  Regional  Chamber 
of  Commerce's  monthly 
membership  meeting  on 
Thursday,  July  7,  at  the  Doral 
Forrestal. 

The  meeting  is  set  to  run 
from  11:30  a.ru  u>  1:30 
p.m.  Registration  and  a 
reception  will  be  followed  by 
a  buffet  luncheon  and  the  talk 
by  Ms.  Burger,  who  has  spent 


much  of  the  last  five  years 
planning  and  funding  the  new 
library  building  that  opened 
in  April  2004.  Building  part- 
nerships with  civic  and  com- 
munity leaders,  she  convinced 
donors  to  contribute  $21  mil- 
lion to  the  library's  capital 
and  endowment  campaigns. 
She  also  raised  the  profile  of 
the  library  by  challenging  the 
community's  notion  of  what  a 
public  library  is  all  about  and 
redefining  what  the  public 
library  means  for  local  resi- 
dents. 

Cost  to  attend  the  meeting 
is  $30  for  Princeton  Regional 
Chamber  of  Commerce  mem- 
bers and  $40  for  non- 
members.  Reservations  can 
be  made  on  the  Chamber's 
website  at  www.princeton 
chamber.org  or  by  calling  the 
Chamber  office  at  (609)

A  Community  Bulletin 


Princeton  Borough  Council  will  join  Princeton 
Township  Committee  in  a  special  session  tonight,  June 
29  at  8  p.m.  at  Township  Hall  to  discuss  a  report  on  a 
study  examining  joint  police  dispatching. 

The  Zoning  Amendment  Review  Committee  of  the 

Regional  Planning  Board  of  Princeton  (ZARC)  will  con- 
vene tomorrow,  June  30,  from  7  to  9  p.m.  at  Township 
Hall  to  discuss  proposed  changes  to  residential  zoning 
standards  currently  being  considered  by  Princeton  Bor- 
ough Council.  Particular  concern  with  the  proposed  ordi- 
nance is  from  residents  living  in  the  Borough's  R-l  zone, 
which  comprises  the  western  section  of  town.  Residents 
there  have  worried  that  placing  building  restrictions  on 
homes  will  adversely  effect  property  values.  The  pro- 
posed measure,  however,  has  been  lauded  by  residents 
living  in  denser  parts  of  town  as  a  means  to  control  the 
building  of  so-called  "McMansions."  Once  ZARC  reviews 
the  ordinance,  it  will  likely  return  to  Borough  Council  for 
introduction. 

Road  Paving  Update:  The  Great  Road  will  be  using  a 
one-lane  alternating  traffic  pattern  from  9  a.m.  to  8  p.m. 
daily  until  further  notice.  The  road  may  have  to  close 
completely  at  certain  times  next  week  between  10  a.m. 
and  3  p.m.  Drivers  are  asked  to  detour  using  Stuart  Road 
to  Cherry  Hill  Road  to  Route  206  to  Mountain  Avenue 
and  back  to  the  Great  Road;  Recent  work  on  Harrison 
Street  near  the  Princeton  Shopping  Center  has  been 
completed;  Terhune  and  Van  Dyke  roads  will  be  paved 
for  the  rest  of  the  week,  closing  between  7  a.m.  and  5 
p.m.  until  work  is  complete,  possibly  by  next  week; 
Snowden  Lane  will  remain  closed  between  Overbrook 
Drive  and  Franklin  Avenue  between  7  a.m.  and  5  p.m.; 
Grover  Avenue  between  Franklin  and  Clearview  Ave- 
nues, will  be  closed  through  Friday,  July  1.  and  begin- 
ning Tuesday,  July  5,  Grover  will  re-open  with  Clear- 
view  Avenue  closing  between  7  a.m.  and  5  p.m.  for 
repairs  until  further  notice;  Bunn  Drive  will  be  subject 
to  one-lane  alternating  traffic  through  next  week;  Finally.

with  one  of  the  good  friends  she  made  while  studying  abroad  in  Japan, 
Atsushi  Saeki.  The  two  are  in  front  of  the  last  building  left  standing  in 
Hiroshima  after  an  American  B-29  bomber  dropped  an  atomic  bomb  on  the 
city  in  1945. 


PHS  Student  Follows  Passion 
By  Studying  Abroad  in  Japan

The  idea  to  study  abroad 
came  to  Princeton  High  School 
student  Jessie  Goodman  one 
afternoon  when  she  was  walk- 
ing home  from  school  and  dis- 
covered a  discarded  flyer  on

THE  DECORATOR *S 
CONSIGNMENT  GALLERY 


Before  she  knew  it.  she  was  off 
to  Hiroshima,  Japan,  where 
she  spent  six  months  of  her 
junior  year  of  high  school. 

Jessie,  now  17  years  old  and 
ready  to  begin  her  senior  year, 
first  took  an  interest  because 
her  grandmother  is  from 
Japan,  where  she  met  Jessie's 
American-born  grandfather 
during  World  War  II.  Jessie 
had  visited  her  extended  family 
in  Japan  twice,  and  had  stud- 
ied the  country  several  times 
for  school  projects. 

"I  know  more  Japanese  than 
my  dad  does.  He  can't  speak 
any,"  she  said,  recalling  that 
her  father  grew  up  in  Kentucky 
and  had  little  exposure  to 
—i  Japan. 

Only  a  sophomore  when  she 
first  learned  about  AFS,  l< 
spent  10  months  applying  for 
the  program,  working  with 
AFS  and  her  school  guidance 
counselors  to  accelerate  her 
classes  here  so  she  would  be 
prepared  when  she  went 
abroad.  She  studied  the  Japa- 
nese language  for  two  years  at 
PHS  before  she  left,  and  took 
an  accelerated  calculus  course 
at  Columbia  University. 

Jessie  had  several  forms  to 
fill  out  in  order  to  study 
abroad:  "In  the  end  I  had 
about  60  pages  of 
paperwork." 

It  wasn't  until  she  had  to 
have  her  final  papers  signed  by 
her  parents  that  she  clued 
them  in  on  the  trip:  "It  took 
me  two  weeks  to  convince 
them  to  let  me  go." 

She  enrolled  in  the  Japan 
study  abroad  program  for 
August  2004  through  February 
2005. 

Once  she  arrived  in  Hiroshi- 
ma, Jessie  was  situated  with  a 
host  family:  a  mother  and 
father  with  two  grown  daugh- 
ters who  no  longer  lived  at 
home.  While  she  was  able  to 
quickly  form  a  bond  with  her 
"second  parents."  she  had 
many  difficulties  in  the  begin- 
ning at  her  Japanese  high 
school,  since  rm  English  was 
spoken. 


"For  the  first  month  it  was 
horrible  ....  But  by  the  end  I 
was  learning  much  more  gnu  k 
ly."  she  said  of  her  language 
skills. 

Jessie  took  classes  in  Japa- 
nese, calligraphy,  English, 
physical  education,  and  calcu- 
lus, which  were  all  taught  In 
Japanese. 

Among  the  places  she  visited 
were  Nara,  Kyoto,  and  Osaka, 
all  Southern  cities  In  Japan.  BS 
well  as  Tokyo.  But  the  best 
part  of  the  trip,  laid  the  17- 
year-old,  were  the  friends  she 
made  while  she  was  there.

A  SECOND  FAMILY:  Princeton  High  School  student  Jessie  Goodman  spent

months  I  was  there,"  said  Jess- 
ie, adding  that  she  also  made 
several  friends  at  school.

Since  returning  to  the  states 
this  spring,  Jessie  continued 
her  language  studies  by  taking 
a  semester  of  Japanese  at 
Princeton  University,  which 
she  plans  to  follow  up  with 
another  year  of  the  language 
during  her  senior  year. 

Now  that  Jessie  is  getting 
ready  to  start  her  last  year  of 
high  school,  she  is  forced  to 
think  about  the  future,  and 
how  her  experiences  abroad 
will  affect  the  decisions  she 
makes  in  the  coming  years. 

"1  want  to  go  to  Princeton 
University,"  she  said,  adding 
that  she  would  like  to  continue 
studying  Japanese  as  well  as 
business,  and  eventually  wants 


to  work  for  a  Japanese  com- 
pany, where  she  would  have 
the  opportunity  to  travel 
overseas. 

She  plans  to  study  abroad 
again  in  college,  and  would 
like  to  become  fluent  in  Japa- 
nese, as  well  as  another  for- 
eign language. 

"Language  is  very  important. 
I'm  now  able  to  speak  with  a 
whole  other  country"  she  said, 
adding  that  while  her  father 
had  been  reserved  about  her 
passion  for  Japan,  he  seems  to 
be  excited  for  her. 

Jessie  said  she  would 
encourage  all  of  her  class- 
mates to  study  abroad  as  well, 
because  it  changes  your  entire 
view  of  the  world:  "It  allows 
you  to  see  the  world  and  not 
be  as  sheltered  or  ignorant  of 
other  people  and  cultures." 


her  maturity  level  far  exceeded 
Japanese  teenagers  her  age, 
she  grew  up  even  more  while 
she  was  there. 

"I  learned  a  lot  about  life 
and  how  you  really  have  to  live 
it  in  that  moment,"  she  said. 
"You  should  do  something 
you're  passionate  about  ...  and 
that's  what  1  did."

The  lawsuit  follows  on  the 
heels  of  Mr.  Hardwickes 
case,  which  went  to  the  State 
Supreme  Court  in  November 
2004.  The  lawsuit,  which  was 
first  filed  approximately  four 
years  ago,  was  dismissed 
because  the  school  is  pro- 
tected under  the  state's  Char- 
itable Immunity  Act.  This  law, 
which  only  exists  in  three 
states,  protects  nonprofit 
institutions  against  negligence 
charges. 

Mr.  Hardwickes  lawsuit 
was  reinstated  by  the  Appel- 
late Division  last  year,  and  is 
currently  pending  before  the 
state  Supreme  Court. 

According  to  Mr.  Fliedner, 
Mr.  Staab  s  case  may  not 
have  to  contend  with  the 
same  circumstances  as  Mr. 
Hardwickes,  as  the  plaintiff 
is  citing  that  he  has  experi- 
enced injury  due  to  previous 
incidents  that  occurred  while 
he  attended  the  school.  In 
New  Jersey,  the  victim  has 
two  years  from  the  time  he 
relates  the  incident  to  file  the 
claim.  Mr.  Staab  did  so  in 
2003.

S  Vicky  Bergman,  of  Leabrook 
W-Lane.  Ms.  Bergman,  who  is 
*•  also  running  for  Township 
z  Committee,  pointed  out  that 
=»  the  old  tree  had  been  host  to 
>  history  that  preceded  most 
o  of  what  is  on  Witherspoon 
m  Street  now.  "I  wish  I  knew 
o  what  life  was  like  in  Prince- 
g  ton  300  years  ago.  That 
.  tree  was  a  sapling  then  and 
"i  it  would  be  interesting  to  see 
z.  how  the  town  developed." 
o  Of  course  the  Princeton 
w  Elm,  is  special  because  it 
z  has  a  resiliency  to  Dutch 
oc  Elm  Disease  that  other  elms 


do  not  have.  William  Flemer 
Jr.,  of  Princeton  Nurseries 
did  not  know  this  in  1920 
when  he  planted  seeds  from 
the  cemetery  tree  that  ulti- 
mately grew  Into  the  elms 
that  now  line  Washington 
Road  between  U.S.  1  and  the 
Washington  Road  Bridge. 

Those  trees  would  go  on 
to  survive  the  plague  of  the 
elm  bark  beetle,  and  so  when 
the  Princeton  area  was  hit,  it 
was  clear  that  these  were  not 
Just  garden  variety  elms. 

Princeton  Elms  can  be 
found  in  New  York  City,  as 
well  as  among  a  line  of  88 
recently-planted  saplings 
near  the  White  House,  all 


planted  because  of  their  abil- 
ity to  resist  the  disease. 

Roger    Holloway,    who 
grows  Princeton  Elms  at  his 
Atlanta  nursery,  Riveredge 
Farms,  said  replanting  trees 
such  as  the  Princeton  Elm 
has  more  than  just  a  senti- 
mental benefit,  however.  "It's 
very  important,  especially 
considering  all  the  foreign 
diseases  coming  in  affecting 
trees,"  he  said,  mentioning 
Sudden  Oak  Death  disease, 
the  Asian  Longhorn  beetle, 
and  the  Emerald  Ash  Borer 
as  all  having  contributed  to 
the  demise  of  millions  of 
trees.  This  is  why,  Mr.  Hol-

it's  important  that  we  plant 
the  right  trees  and  keep  re- 
placing them."  Such  is  the 
ideology  behind  the  Wash- 
ington Road  Elms  Preserva- 
tion Trust  (WREPT).  which 
is  working  on  a  long-range 
preservation  plan  by  iden- 
tifying and  possibly  remov- 
ing some  of  the  susceptible 
trees  and  replacing  them 
with  Princeton  Elms.  "We're 
hoping  the  public  will  sup- 
port us  on  that,"  said  Jean 
Mahoney,    WREPT   board 
member.  The  organization 
was  formed  during  the  de- 
liberations about  a  design 
for  the  former  Millstone 
Bypass.  Until  the  state's  De- 
partment of  Transportation 
had  released  its  Draft  Envi- 
ronmental Impact  Statement 
last  year,  one  of  the  propos- 
als would  have  demolished 
many  of  those  trees.  The  line 
of  elms  along  Washington 
Road  was  placed  on  the  New 
Jersey  and  National  Register 
of  Historic  Places  In  1998. 
"We  want  the  public  to  be 
aware  of  the  importance  of 
the  street;  it's  an  entryway 
for  both  West  Windsor  and 
Princeton,"  she  said. 


The  old  elm  saw  Wither- 
spoon Street  as  a  dirt  road 
when  General  George  Wash- 
ington used  to  travel  Into 
Princeton  and  it  was  witness 
to  the  building  of  Princeton's 
new  library.  The  old  elm 
—  and  the  stump  tells  the 
story  —  has  also  essentially 
uprooted  the  tombstone  of 
Vice  President  Aaron  Burr. 
The  new  elm  will  be  witness 
to  the  renewal  and  expansion 
of  another  downtown  institu- 
tion —  The  Arts  Council  of 
Princeton  —  and  should  be 
around  to  see  the  story  of 
Princeton  for  the  next  300 
years,  Mr.  Holloway  said: 
"The  American  Elm  is  basi- 
cally our  national  tree,  and 
the  Princeton  American  Elm 
Is  our  first,  best  hope  of  re- 
storing the  lost  heritage  of 
the  American  Elm."

the  number  of  officers  working 
within  the  department. 

"The  question  we're  often 
asked  is  If  there  is  any  posi- 
tive correlation  between  the 
number  of  officers  you  have 
and  the  number  of  Index 
crimes  and  I  can  say  It's  ab- 
solute zero:  there  is  no  cor- 
relation," he  said. 

One  of  the  most  com- 
mon Indicators  of  safety  in 
municipalities  is  the  crime 
rate,  which  is  determined  by 
how  many  Index  crimes  oc- 
curred per  1000  people.  In- 
dex crimes  Include:  murder; 
rape;  robbery;  aggravated 
assault;  burglary;  larceny; 
and  motor  vehicle  theft.  The 
Township  has  one  of  the  low- 
est crime  rates  in  the  U.S., 
Mr.  Buracker  said:  "That  is 
one  of  the  lowest  that  I've 
seen  since  I've  been  In  the 
business."  A  department- 
wide  plan  Is  also  needed, 
Mr.  Buracker  said,  adding 
that  an  external  audit  of  the 
entire  department  Is  need- 
ed. He  also  recommended 
formalized  crime  analysis  — 
unorthodox  for  a  relatively 
small  police  department,  but 
nevertheless  recommended. 
Mr.  Enslin  said  Committee 
would  "carefully"  review  the 
recommendations  with  "a  lot 
of  thought  and  a  lot  of  dis- 
cussion in  context  of  continu- 
ing the  police  department's 
excellent  service  to  the  com- 
munity," while  enhancing  ef- 
ficiency. Mr.  Buracker  said 
the  ratio  of  recommended 
cuts  was  not  high  related  to 
comparable  communities, 
and  that  cutbacks  repre- 
sent a  "blueprint"  that  the 
Township  can  pursue  over 
the  next  five  years.  That 
blueprint,  he  said,  focuses 
on  over  100  other  recom- 
mendations, including  sug- 
gestions for  equipment,  fa- 
cilities, and  fleet. 

"It's  not  unusual  for  us  to 
identify  personnel  in  a  police 
department,"  Mr.  Buracker 
said. 

Township  Committee  will 
meet  this  evening,  June  29, 
with  Princeton  Borough 
Council  at  8  p.m.  at  Town- 
ship Hall  to  discuss  another 
Buracker  study,  this  time 


examining  joint  dispatch 
services  between  the  two 
municipalities'  police  depart- 
ments.

A  Trenton  man  was 
arrested  on  June  23  in  front 
of  the  Ivy  Inn  on  Nassau 
Street  for  contempt  of  court 
after  Princeton  Borough 
police  responded  to  the  loca- 
tion for  assault  and  possible 
domestic  violence. 

The  domestic  violence  inci- 
dent proved  to  be  unfounded, 
police  said.  But  subsequently 
Jesse  Won  Carter,  23,  was 
arrested  for  an  active  warrant 
from  Hammonton,  N.J.  He 
was  processed  and  released 
after  posting  $89  cash  bail. 

Twenty-four-year  old  Joel 
Antonio  Gonzalez  of  Spruce 
Street  was  arrested  on  June 
26  after  police,  responding  to 
a  noise  complaint  in  the  area, 
witnessed  him  punch  a  20- 
year-old  male  victim  in  the 
face  with  a  closed  face.  The 
victim  was  also  a  Princeton 
resident.  The  accused  was 
processed  and  released.

Oakland  Street  Residents  Want  to  See 
Roadwork  Done  as  Soon  as  Possible 


For  some  Oakland  Street 
residents,  there  is  a  move- 
ment to  reduce  the  width  of 
the  street  and  add  grassy 
"green  strips"  with  trees 
along  the  roadway  to  soften 
the  road's  appearance. 

For  others,  there  are  major 
drainage  concerns  that  need 
addressing.  Chronic  flooding 
around  some  inlets  on  Oak- 
land has,  according  to  at  least 
one  resident,  caused  signifi- 
cant basement  flooding  and 
wall  cracking. 

But  the  consensus  is  clear: 
what  all  residents  on  Oakland 
Street  want  is  for  Princeton 
Township's  $200,000 
improvement  project  and 
$12,000  sidewalk  installation 
project  to  get  underway — and 
the  sooner  the  better 

Earlier  this  month,  the 
Township  introduced  an  ordi- 
nance for  the  $12,000  side- 
walk project  that  will  cost 
$315  per  resident  whose 
property  is  affected,  to  be 
paid  over  10  years.  At  that 
July  13  hearing,  Oakland 
Street  resident  R.  William 
Potter  said  that  if  the  Town- 
ship were  to  approve  the 
sidewalk  installation  on  the 
Valley  Road  side  of  the  street, 
(which  it  did  Monday  night 
with  a  5-0  vote),  then  Com- 
mittee should  consider  plac- 
ing a  green  strip  next  to  the 
sidewalk  and  narrowing  the 
width  of  the  road  from  its 
current  30  feet. 

Committee  did  consider  it 
and  agreed  to  reduce  the 
width  of  the  road  to  no-less- 


than  28  feet.  and  Tyson  Lane  with  a  100 
Dean  Meade  of  Oakland  percent  assessment  to  resi- 
st reet  said  the  Township  dents;  a  $44,000  bond  ordi- 
should  use  the  construction  nance  providing  for  new  side- 
project  to  resolve  some  of  the  walks  along  Springdale  Road 
poor  drainage  in  that  area,  with  a  50  percent  cost  assess- 
Mr.    Meade    said    the    storm  ment    to    residents;    ami    «i 


view  Avenue  between  Grover 
Avenue  and  Harrison  Street 
with  a  50  percent  cost  assess- 
ment to  residents 

Public  hearings  for  the 
three  introduced  ordinances 
will  occur  at  Committee's  reg- 
ular July  18  session.

inlet  in  front  of  his  house 
catches  stormwater  from 
more  than  two  blocks  away, 
starting  at  Hillside  Road, 
coming  down  Ewing  Street, 
across  Valley  Road,  and  flow- 
ing onto  Oakland  to  "form  a 
big  pond"  in  front  of 
house. 

"Not  all  that  water  goes 
down  that  storm  sewer;  a  sig- 
nificant fraction  seeps  into 
the  groundwater  under  my 
house,"  he  said,  adding  that 
recent  storms  have  caused 
$1,000  of  damage. 

The  construction,  he  said, 
"needs  to  be  done,  and  needs 
to  be  done  soon. 

"I'm  here  because  of  my 
impatience  with  this  project 
not  getting  going." 

Mr.  Meade  added  that  the 
Township's  proposal  to  install 
Belgian-block  curbing  "would 
do  a  lot"  to  prevent  water 
from  going  onto  his  property. 
Mary  Stachowicz,  a  resident 
of  nearby  Walnut  Lane,  wor- 
ried that  reducing  the  width 
of  Oakland  would  place  spa- 
tial constraints  on  emergency 
vehicles.  She  added  that 
there  is  increased  parking  on 
Oakland  and  surrounding 
roads  when  there  are  special 
events  at  John  Witherspoon 
Middle  School  and  that  could 
also  complicate  access  for 
emergency  vehicles. 

Mr.  Potter  said  the  road 
width  reduction  would  not 
impede  emergency  vehicles, 
citing  Moore  Street  as  a  27- 
foot-wide  collector  road  that 
provides  access  to  emergency 
vehicles. 

At  the  June  13  hearing,  Mr. 
Potter  had  called  on  the 
Township  to  reduce  the  width 
of  the  street  to  24  feet,  a 
request  that  was  quickly  ruled 
out  by  Mayor  Phyllis 
Marchand. 

"There  are  many,  many 
streets  that  are  not  30  feet 
wide  or  even  28  feet  wide," 
Mr.  Potter  said.  "If  there 
really  is  a  safety  issue.. .it's 
really  not  evident  at  all." 

However,  Ronald  DiLapo, 
fire  official  at  the  Princeton 
Township  Bureau  of  Fire  Pre- 
vention, said  a  30-foot  width 
is  "preferred"  for  emergency 
vehicle  access. 

The  $12,000  sidewalk 
installation  will  be  split 
equally  among  18  of  the  19 
property  owners.  Normally, 
only  residents  whose  property 
is  effected  by  the  sidewalk 
installation  are  assessed  a  fee 
for  installation,  but,  under  a 
petition  put  together  by  resi- 
dent Scott  Glenfield,  most  of 
the  property  owners  have 
agreed  to  divide  the  assess- 
ment. 

In  other  business,  Commit- 
tee approved:  a  $44,550 
bond  ordinance  authorizing 
sewer  lateral  repairs  for  prop- 
erties along  LittJebrook  Road 


$6.72  million  bond  ordinance 
for  sewer  system  rehabilii.i 
tion  throughout  the  Toun 
ship. 

Committee  also  approved 
an  ordinance  to  ast&bllsh  a 
mutual  aid  agreement  for 
his  emergency  police  services 
between  the  municipalities  of 
Mercer  County.  In  special  sit- 
uations, police  services  from 
other  towns  could  be 
employed. 

Committee  introduced  three 
ordinances:  a  $25,000  bond 
ordinance  to  install  or  repl.u  8 
sidewalks  on  a  portion  of 
Sycamore  Road  with  a  50 
percent  cost  assessment  to 
residents,  with  a  companion 
$26,175  bond  ordinance  to 
improve  sewer  lateral  rapaln 
along  Sycamore;  and  a 
$35,000  bond  ordinance  to 
repair  or  replace  sidewalks 
along  the  north  side  of  Clear-

Plainsboro  Public  Library 
To  Hold  Summer  Programs 

The  Plainsboro  Public 
Library  will  host  Franklin 
Fever!  Discovery  Summer 
2005,  beginning  on  Thursday, 
June  30.  The  summer  pro- 
grams for  those  of  all  ages  will 
run  through  Saturday,  August 
6. 

This  summer,  paralleling 
events  in  Philadelphia  cele- 
brating the  Franklin  Tercente- 
nary, the  library  will  focus  on 
the  many  facets  of  founding 
father  Benjamin  Franklin. 
Story  hours,  programs,  dem- 
onstrations, and  competitions 
will  celebrate  Ben  as  an  inven- 
tor, printer,  chess  lover,  swim- 
mer, musician,  fireman,  and 
book  lover. 

Two  programs  kick  off  the 
five-week  program:  The  Prin- 
gle  Posting  Challenge  and  the 
Franklin  Invention  Workshop. 
Inventors,    engineers,    and 
tinkerers    of    all    ages    are 
encouraged  to  gather  on  Tues- 
day. July  5,  at  4  p.m.,  for  a 
briefing  by  Dr.  Franco  Paoletti 
about    the    summer's    Pringle 
Posting   Challenge.    Honoring 
Ben's   role   as   the   first    Post 
Master  of   Philadelphia,   con- 
testants will  be  invited  to  pack 
a  Pringle  and  mail  it  to  the 
library.  On  July  19,  at  4  p.m., 
all     packages     will     be 
unwrapped  to  determine  how 
many  Pringles  survived.  Prizes 
will  be  awarded  for  those  with 
the    lightest    package,    the 
smallest   package,   that   pack- 
age that  survived  the  longest 
trip,   and  the   most  creative/ 
artful  package  (regardless  of 
Pringle  survival). 
Numerous    stations   will    be 
set  up  throughout  the  library 
on  Friday,  July  8,  Itom  4  to 
5.30  p.m.,  so  that  visitors  can 
work  with  some  of  the  more 
famous    inventions   and    ideas 
that  Franklin  toyed  with.  For 
example,    Gerry    Hemingway, 
internationally-recognized 
improv  drummer,  will  engage 
kids    with    the    principles    of 
Franklin's    glass    music.    His 
armonica  became  popular  in 
Germany,  and  composers  no 
less    than    Beethoven    and 
Mozart  wrote  music  for  Frank- 
lin's armonica. 

There  will  also  be  opportu- 
nities to  experiment  with  set- 
ting type  and  printing,  making 
the  kite  of  choice,  checking 
out  Franklin's  swim  fin  inven- 
tions, and  more.  The  program 
is  a  drop-in,  come  anytime 
event  for  all  ages. 

And  back  by  popular 
demand,  the  Next  Stage 
Ensemble  of  the  Shakespeare 
Theater  of  New  Jersey  will 
perform  Coriolanus  on 
Wednesday,  July  6,  at  7  p.m. 
The  play  is  named  after  Cori- 
olanus, a  military  hero  who 
leads  Rome  to  victory  on  the 
battlefield,  and  is  then  elected 
consul.  However  the  war  hero 
has  difficulty  communicating 
with  the  public,  who  eventu- 
ally refuses  to  endorse  him. 
Playwright  and  poet  T.S.  Eliot 
considered  this  drama,  which 
explores  the  conflict  between 
the  public  and  private  faces  of 
a  national  hero,  Shakes- 
peare's greatest  tragedy. 

A  complete  schedule  of  the 
summer's  events  is  on  the 
library's  web  site,  at 
www.lmxac.org/plainsboro.

Program  button  for  details. 

All  programs  are  free  and 
open  to  the  public,  however 
some  require  registration.  The 
Plainsboro  Public  Library  is 
located  at  641  Plainsboro 
Road,  in  the  Township's 
Municipal  Center.  For  more

Beat  The  Heat  This  Summer: 
Expert  Gives  Parents  Advice 


As  temperatures  rise,  the 
heat  builds  up  not  only  out  in 
the  sun,  but  also  indoors, 
when  parents  and  children 
are  forced  to  co-exist  in  the 
home  during  the  summer 
months. 

Author,  educator,  and 
parenting  expert  Naomi  Drew 
recently  held  a  workshop  for 
parents,  "Creating  a  Peaceful 
Summer  With  Your  Kids: 
Practical  Ways  to  Make  it 
Happen,"  at  the  Nassau  Pres- 
byterian Church. 

A  frequent  keynote  speaker 
at  educational  conferences 
throughout  the  country,  Ms. 
Drew  raised  two  boys  of  her 
own  for  many  years  as  a  sin- 
gle parent.  Her  children  were 
very  different  from  one 
another,  which  often  raised 
conflicts  in  the  household. 
The  difficulties  she  faced  in 
her  own  family  inspired  her 
to  seek  out  strategies  to 
resolve  them:  "I've  always  felt 
that  if  I  didn't  have  these 
strategies  at  hand,  their  child- 
hood would  have  been  very 
different." 

Too  often  conflicts  develop 
because  parents  are  unsure  of 
what  to  do.  Many  times  this 
leads  them  to  reprimand  their 
children  the  same  way  their 
parents  had  reprimanded 
them,  which  isn't  necessarily 
the  best  way  to  handle  the 
situation,  said  Ms.  Drew. 

"A  family  really  isn't  a  total 
democracy,"  she  said,  adding 
that  parents  should  be  willing 
to  listen  to  their  child's  opin- 
ion, but  keep  the  upper  hand. 

When  a  child  misbehaves, 
parents  should  allow  them  to 
discuss  what  their  punish- 
ment should  be,  and  work  on 
a  compromise  together.  The 
mistake  that  most  parents 
make,  however,  is  asking  the 
child  during  the  heated  argu- 
ment, rather  than  sitting 
down  and  having  a  talk  either 
before  or  after  the  situation 
arises. 


suggested  taking  a  moment 
to  "stop,  breathe,  and  chill." 
When  parents  change  their 
behavior,  children  will  often 
do  the  same,  she  said. 

One  problem  that  arises 
when  there  are  siblings  in  a 
household  is  playful  teasing 
that  quickly  turns  to  a  hurtful 
argument.  When  this  occurs, 
parents  should  go  with  their 
gut  feeling;  when  things  seem 
as  though  they  are  about  to 
get  out  of  hand,  get  involved, 
said  Ms.  Drew. 

What  could  be  a  small  argu- 
ment sometimes  becomes  a 
big  blow-up  because  parents 
are  almost  too  patient  with 
their  children  and  let  them 
cross  the  line,  said  the  educa- 
tor: "We  all  try  so  hard  to  be 
patient,  kind,  and  loving... 
but  sometimes  we  try  to  push 
that  line." 


up  with  a  phrase  to  repeat  to 
themselves,  such  as  "I  can 
handle  this." 

"Fake  it  'till  you  make  it: 
form  follows  thought."  said 
Ms.  Drew,  adding  that  par- 
ents will  be  able  to  handle  the 
situation  once  they've  con- 
vinced themselves  that  they 
are  capable. 

And.  if  things  do  escalate  to 
a  heated  argument,  the  par- 
ent shouldn't  point  the  finger 
afterwards,  but  talk  about 
their  own  feelings.  And,  if  the 

child  doesn't  agree,  just  be 

willing  and  able  to  listen  to 

them,  said  Ms.  Drew. 
"When  you  listen  to  them. 

they're  more  willing  to  listen 

to  themselves." 


Hulit's  Women's 
Summer 


One  parent  at  the  work- 
shop on  June  21  was  con- 
cerned because  her  toddler 
always  pushes  the  limits  when 
it  comes  to  getting  ready  for 
school,  bedtime,  and  every- 
thing in  between.  Ms.  Drew 
recommended  that  rather 
than  argue  with  the  child,  the 
parent  should  repeat  over 
and  over  what  the  child  is 
supposed  to  be  doing. 

This  situation  is  often  not 
only  frustrating  for  the  child, 
but  also  the  parent.  Ms.  Drew 


Naomi  Drew 

She  suggested  establishing 
a  line  and  sticking  to  it,  so  it 
doesn't  provoke  an  eruption 
later  on.  Once  the  child 
approaches  that  line,  parents 
need  to  say  what  they  are 
feeling,  simply  and  directly. 

"They  need  to  know  our 
displeasure...  they  need  to  be 
held  responsible." 

Most  important,  parents 
need  to  leam  to  manage  their 
anger  when  they  are  upset 
with  a  child,  said  Ms.  Drew. 
Parents  can't  meet  anger  with 
anger,  because  it  creates  a 
wall  between  the  two  people 
and  the  argument  escalates. 
Even  a  parent's  body  lan- 
guage can  make  a  difference, 
and  they  should  learn  to  take 
deep  breaths  when  they  feel 
the  anger  building,  and  come

Area  Teacher  Receives 
YMCA  Gold  Star  Award 

The  Princeton  Family 
YMCA  recently  announced 
the  winners  of  this  year's

but  rarely  receive.  This  year's 
winners  "found  creative  and 
compassionate  ways  to  stimu- 
late curiosity,  engage  the 
imagination,  and  pass  the  joy 
of  learning  onto  each  and

individual  initiative,  and  pro- 
motes positive  communica- 
tion of  honesty,  respect,  car- 
ing, and  responsibility  within 
the  classroom. 

Ms.  Crain  has  opened  the 
doors  of  her  classroom  to  her

Replacing  "Tear  Downs"  with  MegaMansions  Ignores 
Housing  Heeds  of  Working  Families  in  Our  Suburbs 

To  the  Editor: 

Smaller  homes  are  being  tom  down  at  a  rapid  pace  in 
many  suburbs,  particularly  Princeton,  to  make  room  for 
MegaMansions.  Is  this  best  use  of  one  of  our  most  scarce 
and  valuable  resource  -  land? 

Who  needs  a  six  bedroom,  six  bath  home?  In  fact,  the 
January  2005  homeless  count  did  find  15  families  with 
more  than  five  children  living  with  them.  But  MegaMansions 
are  not  aimed  at  meeting  that  community  need.  Yet  inclu- 
sionary  zoning  can  allow  look-alike  MegaMansions  to  house 
four  or  more  families  and  still  preserve  the  flavor  of  the 
neighborhood. 

Princeton  Borough  Mayor  Joseph  O'Neill  wrote  a  thought- 
ful piece  on  the  size  and  costs  of  home  construction  since 
the  end  of  WWII.  Millions  of  homes  were  built  across  the 
country  to  house  returning  veterans  and  their  families.  They 
were  frequently  starter  homes  of  800  sq.  ft.  to  1000  sq.  ft., 
with  three  bedrooms,  a  kitchen,  dining  room,  living  room 
and  bath.  O'Neill  points  out  that  basic  systems  such  as 
kitchen  and  bathroom  are  what  account  for  most  of  hous- 
ing's cost.  It  is  profit  that  drives  the  excessive  bedrooms  and 
other  rooms,  not  community  needs. 

Today  developers  are  not  building  houses  to  accommo- 
date families  who  already  live  here  and  fill  the  service  jobs 
that  make  our  suburban  living  so  comfortable.  But 
acclaimed  architect  Michael  Graves  offered  a  design  for 
basic  family  housing  at  1200  sq.  ft.  that  he  can  build  for 
$100,000. 

The  Mercer  suburbs  need  to  retain  loyal  service  personnel 
and  provide  them  with  decent  and  comfortable  housing.  In 
Mercer  County  as  a  whole,  25  percent  of  the  workforce 
earns  less  than  $23,370.  But  even  "affordable  housing"  in 
relative  abundance  in  Princeton,  West  Windsor, 
Lawrenceville,  Hightstown,  Hopewell,  and  Hamilton  does 
not  provide  housing  for  any  of  these  people.  A  family  of 
three  must  earn  $31,474  a  year  to  qualify  for  "affordable" 
rental  housing. 

Jobs  that  pay  salaries  below  that  range  include:  cashiers, 
teacher's  aides,  food  service  workers,  childcare  workers, 
home  health  aides,  retail  clerks,  and  lawn  and  cleaning 
service  personnel.  The  very  people  we  count  on  every  day  to 
provide  a  host  of  vital  services  and  to  take  care  of  our 
children,  our  sick,  and  our  elderly  do  not  qualify  for  afford- 
able low-income  housing.

Many  of  these  workers  live  in  overcrowded  shared  apart- 
ments or  houses,  some  in  housing  very  far  from  their  work. 
or  some  in  motels,  shelters  or  cots  in  church  basements  It  is 
not  only  their  problem;  it  is  also  our  problem 

Let  us  seize  the  opportunity  to  create  workforce  housing. 
We  must  consider  the  whole  range  of  Income  needs  not 
served  by  today's  developers.  Creative  Indurionuy  zoning 
can  allow  for  mixed-use  housing,  smaller  lot  starter  hom 
renovation  of  abandoned  commercial,  hospital  fad  Indll 
trial  property,  and  compact  condos  and  town  houses  built  to 
meet  real  working  family  needs. 

The  Mercer  Alliance  to  End  Homelessness  proposes  that 
the  county  purchase  and  preserve  land  for  workforce  hous 
ing.  If  we  tan  do  it  for  open  space,  we  can  do  it  to  redi 
the  cost  of  housing.  We  must  also  develop  a  new  Housiiuj 
Trust  Fund  that  can  combine  private,  public,  and  corporate 
investments  to  help  fund  truly  affordable  permanent  homes. 
A  two-cent  increase  on  the  county  tax  would  produce 
$600,000  a  year  to  support  workforce  housing.  Incentives 
can  be  designed  to  Induce  businesses  to  donate  to  the  new 
Housing  Trust  Fund.  Individuals  could  Increase  the  stock  of 
affordable  housing  by  donating  their  homes  at  death 

The  Mercer  Alliance  has  a  vision  of  our  county  when  IK) 
child  or  person  lacks  the  security  of  a  safe  place  to  sleep, 
eat,  and  study  and  dream  of  a  real  future.  You  can  make  a 
difference;  you  can  help  us  realize  this  dream  by  joining  our 
efforts.  Go  to  www.merceralliance.org  to  see  how  you  can 
help  us  end  homelessness

Without  Funds  to  Support  Local  Program 
Achievement  Gap  Is  Seen  Likely  to  Widen 

To  the  Editor: 

Princeton  Young  Achievers  (PYA),  among  other  nol  foi 
profit  agencies  that  serve  children,  has  lost  crucial  funding. 
Without  major  financial  support  from  the  community,  PYA 
will  likely  have  to  operate  fewer  days  or  serve  fewer  chil- 
dren, and  neither  solution  bodes  well  for  the  children  or  the 
community. 

For  several  years,  the  Princeton  Regional  Board  of  Educa- 
tion gave  us  $65,000,  but  it  cannot  do  so  this  yeai  I  hi-. 
$65,000  cut  represents  a  25  percent  of  our  annual  budget 
and  the  loss  has  thrown  us  into  crisis  mode.  We  were  told 
new  state  legislation  prohibits  school  board  districts  from 
funding  not-for-profit  organizations,  even  those  organization 
which  are  longtime  partners  like  PYA. 

Princeton  is  a  great  community,  but  even  here,  some  of 
our  children  don't  have  the  support  they  need  to  succeed  In 
school.  Like  it  or  not,  Princeton  has  an  achievement  gap 
problem  as  recognized  by  our  school  board,  administrators, 
and  teachers.  Princeton  families  share  high  aspirations  (or 
their  children  and  want  to  do  all  tin  v  I  an  !<>■  them  Howev 
er,  not  all  families  have  the  income,  education.il  h.n  k 
ground,  or  even  time  to  give  adequate  homework  support  or 
access  to  enrichment  activities  that  most  Princetonlani  tain 
for  granted.  Not  every  student  in  the  system  has  compil 
at  home  or  a  parent  who  reads  English. 

This  is  where   PYA  comes  in.   We  are   .1   multicultural, 
academically-oriented,  after-school  program  which  vu.iks  to 
improve  the  academic  performance  of  low    to  moderate 
income  elementary  school  children.  Our  teachers  and  com- 
munity volunteers  provide  homework  support,  one  on  one 
tutoring,  mentoring  and  academic  enrichment  program.  In 
each  of  our  three  community  learning  centers  We  have  data 
to  prove  that  our  work  makes  a  different  < 
We  need  your  help.  Please  send  a  donation  to    Prim

Cooking  equipment  and 
unsafe  cooking  practices 
cause  the  largest  number  of 
home  fires  and  home  injuries. 
However,  fires  started  by 
smoking  materials  caused  26 
percent  of  the  home  fire 
deaths  in  1999.  Smoking  has 
consistently  been  the  leading 
cause  of  home  fire  deaths  in 
the  U.S. 

The  Princeton  Fire  Depart- 
ment has  approximately  50 
active  members,  who 
responded  to  more  than 
1,000  calls  within  the  com-

The  Princeton  First  Aid  & 
Rescue  Squad  responded  to 
49  calls  between  June  18  and 
June  24.  Thirty-three  were 
located  in  Princeton  Town- 
ship, 15  in  Princeton  Bor- 
ough, and  one  in  Lawrence 
Township.  Included  in  these 
numbers  were  five  calls  to 
Princeton  University. 

On  Tuesday,  June  21,  the 
Squad  was  dispatched  to  the 
intersection  of  Route  206  and 
Quaker  Road  for  a  motor 
vehicle  collision  involving  a 
car  and  dump  truck.  The 
driver  of  the  car  suffered 
from  leg  pain  and  had  a  seri- 
ous laceration  to  her  right 
foot  causing  a  near  amputa- 
tion of  her  big  toe.  The 
Squad's  technical  rescue 
team  was  called  to  create  suf- 
ficient access  to  the  patient  to 
allow  the  EMTs  to  remove  the 
driver  from  the  vehicle  with- 
out compromising  her  spine. 
She  was  transported  to  Capi- 
tal Health  System's  (CHS) 
Fuld  campus. 


On  Thursday,  June  23,  the 
Squad  responded  to  the  inter- 
section of  Snowden  Lane  and 
Nassau  Street  for  an  uncon- 
scious elderly  man.  The  79- 
year-old  man  was  being 
driven  to  his  doctor's  office 
when  he  started  feeling  ill  and 
went  into  cardiac  arrest.  The 
driver  of  the  vehicle  pulled 
over,  and  with  the  help  of  a 
passing  jogger  helped  remove 
the  man  from  the  car  and 
begin  CPR.  The  Squad 
arrived  quickly  and  per- 
formed CPR,  administered 
oxygen,  and  applied  the 
defibrillator  to  the  man. 
Despite  all  efforts,  the  man 
was  pronounced  dead  at  the 
University  Medical  Center  at 
Princeton  (UMCP). 

Later  that  afternoon,  the 
Squad  responded  to  the  area 
of  Harrison  Street  and  Hart- 
ley Avenue  for  a  motor  vehi- 
cle collision.  Upon  arrival,  the 
Squad  found  a  41 -year-old 
female  who  stated  that  she 
was  talking  on  her  cell  phone 
and  "misestimated  the  turn," 
causing  her  to  crash  into  a 
telephone  pole.  The  impact 
deployed  the  air  bag  and 
caused  significant  front-end 
damage  to  the  vehicle.  Fortu- 
nately, the  woman  escaped 
without  injury  and  refused 
medical  attention. 

Also  that  afternoon,  the 
Squad  responded  for  a  con- 
struction worker  who  fell  off 
a  roof.  The  worker  had  bruis- 
ing to  the  face  and  exhibited 
classic  signs  of  a  head  injury: 
inability  to  remember  the  inci- 
dent or  date,  repetitive  ques- 
tioning, and  combative 
demeanor.  The  crew  immobi- 
lized the  man's  spine  and 
transported  him  to  the 
trauma  center  at  CHS  -  Fuld 
were  he  was  diagnosed  with  a 
concussion  and  kept  over- 
night for  observation.

Thomas  George  and  tHe  Adventure  of  Art 


Speaking  about  his  most  recent  explo- 
rations of  the  art  of  the  landscape, 
Thomas  George,  who  has  lived  in 
Princeton  since  1969,  says  that  the  series  of 
"largely  abstract  images"  he's  been  working 
on  has  given  him  "an  assurance  that  life  is 
worth  living  as  long  as  there  is  still  adven- 
ture." This  particular  adventure,  a  retrospec- 
tive of  the  86-year-old  artist's  work,  opened 
Saturday  at  the  Princeton  University  Art 
Museum  and  will  be  on  view  through  Sep- 
tember 1 1 . 

Placing  Princeton 

During  a  sneak  preview  of  the  exhibit  Inst 
Thursday.  I  saw  the  25  works  beforr  lli.-v, 
had  been  tagged  with  titles  and  dates.  The 
first  image  that  catches  your  eye  M 
enter  the  room  is  a  brilliant  autumnal  pastel 
so  in  I)  will)  tin'  presence  of  Princeton  \  ou 

don  i  need  a  title  card  to  tell  you  where  II  s 
coming  from.  Returning  to  it  aftei  the  show 
Opened,  I  discovered  that  the  nibta  I  ol  thai 

i.iir.i  of  (olor  wcis  the  pond  al  the  Institute 
for  Advanced  Study,  where  the  artlsl  had 
been  .it  nine  a.m.  on  October  11,  1993.  The 
recording  of  <i  spec  if m  time  suggested  that 
this  was  one  of  m.my  visits  to  tfi.it  spot.  In 
fact,   another   pastel   devoted   to   the   same 

subjecl  Informs  iu  that  he  came  back  there 
again  at  seven  a.m.  on  May  °\  1995  when 
he  produced  a  cooler,  softer  version  of  the 
pond  in  .mother  season.  Once  I  knew  the 
spei  Ifii  l  ol  time  and  place,  it  w<«s  no  longer 
so  easy  to  look  .it  those  images  objectively. 

Anyone  who  hai  enjoyed  thai  particular 
Princeton  scene  will  recall  tlieii  own  experl 
ence  of  it,  prob.ibly  along  with  some  unique 

impression,  like  the  memory  of  <in  r-oii.

granted. 

For  people  who  know  Princeton,  the  pen 
and  ink  drawing  of  a  Norwegian  Spruce  In 
Marquand  Park  is  more  instantly  recognb 
able  than  eiilur  of  George's  depictions  of 
the  Institute  pond  I  ven  so,  it's  tempting  to 
look  deeper  into  the  surface  image  and 
imagine  the  complex  natural  tree  form  being 


used  to  suggest  the  shadows,  cross-purposes,  himself  suggests  when  he  speaks  of  invent- 
conflicts,  complex  struggles,  triumphs  and  ing  "a  calligraphic  language"  for  the  pic- 
tragedies  of  a  human  life;  it  reminded  me  of  ture.  In  this  context,  it's  interesting  to  note 
the  way  the  conflicting,  converging,  overarch-  that  George  drew  terrain  maps  used  in 
ing  jets  of  water  in  the  Woodrow  Wilson  coastal  invasions  when  he  was  serving  in 
School  fountain  suggest  the  triumphs  and  the  U.S.  Navy  in  World  War  II.  Here,  the 
tragedies  of  Wilson's  career.  This  sort  of  land  mass  looks  complex  and  congested  as 
cross-referencing,  chain-reaction  dynamic  of  the  forms  seem  to  expand  into  flight, 
associations  created  by  a  single  work  is  the  almost  as  if  the  land  was  a  maze  the  artist 


essence  of

landscape  into  action.  Lofoten  was  drawn  in  1983,  and  two  pastels  from  Wales  in  the

yet  intricate,  that  it  seems  on  the  verge  of  play.  Executed  in  brush  and  black  ink  and 
becoming    intelligible,    something    the   artist    gray  wash,  the  landscape  is  unidentified.  In 


this  instance,  the  white  mass  of  hill  or  moun- 
tain looks  at  once  austere  and  mysterious  in 
contrast  to  the  agitated  black  forms  erupting 
onto  it.  If  these  later  works  are,  in  his  words, 
"distillations"  of  what  he  has  learned  about 
the  natural  world,  this  particular  landscape 
seems  less  a  refinement  than  an  intensifica- 
tion. Like  much  of  Thomas  George's  best 
work,  it  does  not  wait  for  you  to  come  find  it 
or  critique  it;  it  comes  right  at  you. 

A  World  Class  Museum 

Such  is  the  scope  and  depth  of  this  muse- 
um, this  Princeton  treasure,  if  you  have 
time,  you  can  walk  into  another  room  on  the 
same  floor  and  see  Givemy  as  Monet  himself 
painted  it  a  hundred  years  before.  Or  you 
can  compare  George's  landscapes  with 
Cezanne's  Mont  Sainte-Victoire.  Or  you  can 
compare  them  with  unique  and  unlikely 
landscapes  by  Klee  and  Kandinsky.  Or,  after 
admiring  the  deep  green  and  black  contrast 
in  George's  Sky  and  Green  Earth,  you  can 
discover  a  similar  blend  in  Emil  Nolde's  Twi- 
light.  And  this  extraordinary  adventure  in 
art  can  be  experienced  in  a  relatively  com- 
pact, navigable  venue  a  few  minutes  walk 
from  the  heart  of  Princeton. 

Speaking  of  the  museum  in  general,  it 
was  good  to  see  that  Red  Groom's 
Cedar  Bar  tableau  of  the  1950s  art 
life  in  New  York  has  been  moved  from  rela- 
tive obscurity  at  the  far  end  of  the  main  floor 
to  a  prominent  position  in  the  front  room. 
Now  instead  of  looking  down  into  the  bar 
where  Pollock  and  DeKooning  are  holding 
forth,  you  look  directly  into  it,  head  on.  It's 
almost  as  if  you  could  walk  inside  and  be 
part  of  the  crowd. 

You  have  all  summer  to  take  advantage  of 
this  world-class  museum,  which  is  open  to 
the  public  without  charge  Tuesday  through 
Saturday  from  10  a.m  to  5  p.m  and  on  Sun- 
day from  1  to  5  p.m.  It  is  closed  Monday 
and  major  holidays.  Tours  of  collection  high- 
lights are  given  every  Saturday  and  Sunday 
at  2  p.m.  The  museum  is  located  in  the 
center  of  the  Princeton  University  campus, 
next  to  Prospect  House  and  Gardens.  For

Advice  for  daily  living 
Family  Advice  Column: 

The  Purpose  of  Life 

By  the  Rev.  Peter  K.  Stimpson 

QUESTION:  Recently  I  woke 
up  in  the  middle  of  the  night 
In  a  cold  sweat,  sat  up 
straight,  and  realized  that  I'm 

I  getting  older  and  will  one  day 
die.  I  can't  seem  to  stop  wor- 

|  rylng,  the  question  that 
haunts  me  being:  What  Is  the 
meaning  of  my  life?  Does  my 
life  have  a  purpose? 

ANSWER:  My  belief  is  that  the 
purpose  of  life  is  to  make  a  sim- 
ple choice  between  good  or  evil. 
For  those  who  are  religious,  that  choice  involves  whether 
we  believe  in  God  or  not.  Our  answer  is  shown  less  by 
what  we  say  and  more  by  what  we  do,  our  actions 
speaking  louder  than  our  words. 

If  you  choose  to  view  others  as  suckers  of  whom  you  can 
take  advantage  instead  of  potential  friends,  then  you  fail 
to  learn  how  to  be  close  to  them,  condemning  yourself  to 
be  lonely,  frustrated,  and  angry.  When  you  are  placed  in 
the  presence  of  God  after  death,  never  having  learned 
how  to  be  close  to  others,  you  do  not  know  how  to  be 
close  to  God,  nor  to  all  who  have  died  before  you:  your 
Mom  and  Dad,  brothers  and  sisters,  uncles  and  aunts, 
and  all  your  friends.  Then  you  look  around  and  see  many 
who  are  close,  and,  therefore,  happy.  Finally,  you  realize 
that  this  state  of  emptiness  will  last  for  all  eternity.  You 
are  in  Hell. 

However,  if.  during  your  life,  you  give  of  yourself  so  as  to 
receive  love  and  friendship  in  return,  you  may  not  be  rich 
or  famous,  but  you  will  possess  the  secret  of  life,  know- 
ing how  to  love.  When  placed  in  the  presence  of  God 
and  of  all  your  family  and  friends,  you  will  be  able  to  be 
close  to  them,  your  reward  being  eternal  happiness.  You 
are  in  Heaven. 

God  gives  us  free  will.  The  judgment  of  God  is  to  accept 
your  judgment.  The  punishment  for  choosing  to  be  self- 
ish is  to  be  selfish  It  saddens  God  if  you  choose  to  not 
love  Him  or  your  fellow  human  beings,  but  that  is  your 
choice.  You  choose  to  be  happy  or  sad,  to  be  in  heaven 
or  hell.  He  provides  eternal  life.  You  determine  how  you 
will  live  it. 

You  should  not  wait  to  make  this  choice  on  your  death- 
bed, but  do  so  every  day  of  your  life.  If  you  are  on  the 
wrong  path,  then  wake  up  and  change!  If  you  are  on  the 
right  path,  then  do  not  become  smug  and  complacent, 
just  keep  going.  Go  to  church  or  synagogue  to  continue 
to  learn  more  about  the  purpose  of  life  and  be  refreshed 
for  the  challenges  of  each  day.  Then  love  your  family. 
give  an  honest  day's  labor  at  work,  treat  all  people  as 
you  would  want  to  be  treated,  and  worry  not  about  the 
end  of  this  life.  The  next  one  will  be  very  happy.

winning  home  furnishings  and 
lifestyle  store  in  New  Hope. 
Pa.,  recently  cited  nationa Un- 
recognized Bucks  County  art- 
ist William  Sloan  as  their 
exclusive  artist-in-residt  i 
and  announced  that  a  special 
summer-themed  collection  of 
his  work  will  be  unveiled  on 
Friday.  July  1 . 

"We've  developed  a  close 
and  successful  working  rela- 
tionship with  Bill  over  the  past 
year,"  says  Blue  Raccoon  co- 
owner  and  President  Nicholas 
Bewsey.  "The  quality  and 
breadth  of  his  talents  and  out 
put  dovetail  perfectly  with  the 
look  and  philosophy  that  our 
customers  have  come  to  asso- 
ciate with  the  name  Blue 
Raccoon." 

She  continued,  "While  Blue 
Raccoon  is  a  home  furnishings 
store  and  not  an  art  gallery. 
We  firmly  believe  that  fine  art 
such  as  Bill's  work  naturally 
enhances  the  presentation  of 
our  primary  product  lines, 
namely  furniture  and  accesso- 
ries. Our  customers,  many  of 
whom  are  avid  and  knowl- 
edgeable collectors,  share  our 
sense  of  style  and  understand 
how  fine  art,  as  opposed  to 
simply  wall  decor,'  contrib- 
utes to  the  total  environment 
of  their  homes." 

Blue  Raccoon's  creative 
director  and  co-owner  Nelson 
Zayas  further  explained  their 
decision  to  formalize  the  rela- 
tionship by  appointing  Mr. 
Sloan  as  the  store's  official 
artist-in  residence.  "Bill  is 
probably  the  most  versatile 
and  prolific  artist  we  have 
encountered  in  25  years  in 
retail,  moving  from  oils  to 
watercolors  to  other  media, 
and  producing  landscape,  still 
life,  figurative  and  graphic 
pieces,  with  unique  ease  and 
ability.  He  keeps  us  constantly 
supplied  with  exciting  originals 
and  prints  of  his  own  work,  as 
well  as  that  of  a  select  group 
of  other  artists  and  photogra- 
phers which  also  complements 
the  Blue  Raccoon  aesthetic."

Newark  Museum  Exhibits 
Work  of  Modernist  Painters 
The  newest  exhibition  >»t  the 

Newark  Museum,  entitled,  In 
the  American  Grain:  Dove, 
Hartley,  Marin,  O'Keeffe  and 
Stieglitz,"  explores  the  work 
of  a  group  of  innovative  mod- 
ernist painters  who  trans- 
formed the  course  of  Ameri- 
can «irt  at  the  beginning  of  the 
twentieth  century.  The  exhibit 
is  on  display  through  Septem- 
ber 4. 

Through  a  selection  of  43 
paintings  by  Arthur  Dove, 
Marsden  Hartley,  John  Marin, 
and  Georgia  O'Keeffe  ,  as  well 


as  11  photographs  by  Alfred 
Stieglitz,  visitors  can  examine 
the  history  of  the  community 
of  artists  and  critics  known  as 
the  Stieglitz  Circle;  the  art 
also  tells  the  story  of  the  com- 
plex relationship  between 
Stieglitz  and  Duncan  Phillips, 
the  legendary  critic,  collector, 
and  head  of  America's  first 
museum  of  modem  art. 

This  travelling  exhibition 
was  organized  by  the  Phillips 
Collection  in  Washington, 
DC. 

It  was  in  1905  that  photog- 
rapher Alfred  Stieglitz  fortified 
his  role  as  the  leader  of  mod- 
ernism  in  America  when  he 


began  showing  modem  art  at 
291 ,  the  first  of  three  galleries 
he  owned  in  New  York  City. 
As  the  first  to  exhibit  works  by 
European  modernists  such  as 
Cezanne,  Matisse  and  Picasso, 
as  well  as  the  first  to  publish 
Kandinskys  writings  on 
abstraction,  Stieglitz  intro- 
duced Americans  to  the  revo- 
lutionary ideas  being  practiced 
by  European  artists. 

This  commitment  to  modem 
art  drew  four  young  American 
artists  —  Dove,  Hartley,  Marin 
and  O'Keeffe  -  to  291  where 
they  too  were  exhibited,  sup- 
ported, and  championed  by 
Stieglitz.  Together  these  art-

ists  shared  an  aesthetic 
impulse  that  led  them  to 
nature  as  a  source  of  inspira- 
tion, hoping  to  capture  its 
spirituality,  vitality,  and 
essence,  often  by  using 
abstract  forms  that  they 
believed  could  communicate 
their  profound  feelings  and 
ideas. 

"'In  the  American  Grain' 
features  the  work  of  this 
incredible  group  of  pioneering 
artists  working  around  Stieg- 
litz as  they  created  a  distinc- 
tively American  aesthetic," 
said  the  Newark  Museum's 
Assistant  Curator  of  American 
Art,  Dr.  Mary  Kate  O'Hare, 
who  was  the  project  manager 
for  the  exhibition.

When  Duncan  Phillips,  the 
conservative  patron  who  had 
dismissed  abstraction  and 
European  avante  garde  art  for 
years,  finally  began  purchas- 
ing modern  art,  it  was  this  cir- 
cle of  artists  at  291  that  he 
embraced.  The  Stieglitz  Circle 
claimed  the  principal  share  of 
Phillips'  commitment  to  living 
American  artists,  and  he 
formed  an  alliance  with  Stieg- 
litz  to  dedicate  their  lives  and 
fortunes  to  exploring  the  fron- 
tiers of  new  American  paint- 
ing. 

Phillips  acquired  the  world's 
largest  and  most  representa- 
tive group  of  works  by  Dove. 
O'Keeffe's  paintings  express 
the  close  connection  she  had 
to  the  American  land,  and  in 
the  Phillips  Collection  are  sev- 
eral of  her  masterworks, 
including  close-up  views  of 
foliage  and  records  of  the 
architecture  and  landscape  of 
the  Southwest  and  upstate 
New  York. 

Phillips  also  collected  a  wide 
array  of  Marin's  watercolors, 
works  that  evoke  the  "dy- 
namic energy  of  New  York 
City  and  rugged  coasts  of 
Maine."  Hartley,  like  Marin, 
was  drawn  to  paint  his  native 
state  of  Maine,  and  Phillips 
gathered  examples  of  the  art- 
ist's views  of  mountains  and 
still  lifes.  Many  of  Stieglitz's 
creative  photographs,  which 
were  aligned  with  his  artists, 
were  given  to  Phillips  after  his 
death  in  1946  by  O'Keeffe. 

While  this  exhibition  offers 
an  excellent  representation  of 
each  artist's  work,  it  is 
together  that  the  paintings, 
drawings  and  photographs 
present  an  even  more  pro- 
found strength,  an  original 
and  uniquely  American  style 
of  art.

ident Barbara  K.  Suomi  from 
July  5  through  August  1 . 

Ms.  Suomi  has  had  a  serious

images.  Using  a  30-year-old 
camera  with  50mm  lens,  she 
makes  photographs  that  focus 
on  strong  colors  and  textures, 
as  well  as  on  interesting 
graphic  design  and  composi- 
tional features. 

"Recently  I've  been  concen- 
trating on  a  project  I  call  ur- 
ban wall  art.'"  said  the  artist.

human  faces  or  figures,  said 
Ms.  Suomi:  "This  project

Galley  125  to  Hold 
Artist  Talks  in  July 

Gallery  125  will  be  holding 
talks  this  summer  for  "365 
Days  Later."  a  juried  exhibit 
of  33  artists,  on  view  through 
September  5. 

The  gallery  talks  draw  on 
the  dynamic  that  comes  from 
the  diversity  in  a  group  show, 
using  the  differing  styles  and 
media  to  explore  arts  related 
topics  and  common  themes. 
For  the  first  time  since  the 
lunchtime  talks  began  in  Feb- 
ruary, artists  from  the  exhibit 
have  been  invited  to  speak 
about  their  work  in  the  show. 
The  presentations  will  take 
place  June  29  and  July  6, 
from  12:30  to  1  p.m. 

On  June  29,  sculptor  Kate 
Graves  and  painter  Eric 
Fowler  will  speak  about  their 
works,  both  of  which  focus  on 
buildings    in    Trenton.    While

Stalled  Project 

continued  from  page  1 

spaces  that  remain  unavail- 
able in  the  parking  garage 
because  of  excess  water  in 
the  basement  and  the  po- 
tential Borough  revenue 
lost  when  a  portion  of  the 
Tulane  Street  Parking  Lot 
was  closed  when  NHKT  had 
preliminary  crew  equipment 
on-site  to  build  'Building  C 
of  the  development  on  that 
lot.  Building  C,  when  built, 
will  be  a  five-story  building 
with  18  one-bedroom  and 
35  two-bedroom  residential 
units  with  a  grocery  store 
on  the  first  floor.  However, 
the  aforementioned  flooding 
in  the  garage  basement  has 
posed  a  problem  for  the  de- 
veloper. Water  is  seeping  up 
through  the  concrete  slabs 
from  the  spring  over  which 
the  garage  lies.  NHKT  can- 
not acquire  a  permanent  cer- 
tificate of  occupancy  for  the 
garage  until  that  situation  Is 
corrected. 

There  are  basically  two 
ways  to  deal  with  the  prob- 
lem, Mr.  O'Neill  said:  one 
would  be  to  let  the  water 
come  up  and  drain  it  off 
into  a  sump  pump,  or  to  put 
down  another  layer  of  con- 
crete to  further  suppress  the 
spring. 

"Frankly,  I  have  no  idea 
which  of  the  two  methods  is 
preferable,  but  until  that's 
fixed,  the  permanent  certifi- 
cate of  occupancy  would  not 
be  issued,"  the  mayor  said. 

There  is  a  connection  in 
the  developer's  agreement 
between  the  certificate  for 
the  garage  and  the  start  of 
constructing  Building  C, 
hence  the  significant  delay 
to  a  project  that  was  sched- 
uled to  get  underway  by  La- 
bor Day  2004. 

Neither  Mr.  Powell  nor  Mr. 
Morrison  were  available  for 
comment.  NHKT  could  have 
been  held  in  default  by  the 
Borough  if  it  did  not  meet 
a  June  15  deadline  to  ful- 
fill its  financial  obligation. 
Holding  the  developer  in 
default  would  have,  in  es- 
sence, allowed  the  Borough 
to  remove  the  developer 
from  the  project,  find  a  new 
developer,  or  take  over  the 


project  entirely.  But  the 
agreement  was  fulfilled  when 
NHKT  met  with  Council  in 
a  June  14  closed  session.  It 
was  at  that  session  that  Mr. 
Morrison  was  introduced 
to  Council  as  a  prospective 
partner. 

The  letter  of  credit  is  ef- 
fectively supplied  in  lieu  of 
a  performance  or  completion 
bond.  The  letter,  according 
to  Mr.  O'Neill,  is  an  alterna- 
tive means  of  ensuring  the 
completion  of  the  project. 
The  letter  signifies  assets 
that  are  held   In   escrow. 


whereas  a  bond  is  more  of 
an  insurance  policy.

MUSIC  REVIEW 


Washington  Crossing's  Open  Air  Theatre 
Opens  Its  Season  With  a  Patriotic  Musical 


1776  will  continue  at 
the  Open  Air  Theatre  on 
June  29,  30,  Jury  1,  and 
2.  Ticket  information  can 
be  obtained  by  calling  the 
Open  Air  Theatre  box 
office  at  (609)  737-1826. 


Independence  Day  came  early  at  Wash- 
ington Crossing's  Open  Air  Theatre  this 
year.  For  the  first  musical  in  the  The- 
atre's 2005  season,  the  Actor's  NET  of 
Bucks  County  presented  Sherman  Edwards' 
1776.  the  musical  story  of  the  days  leading 
up  the  creation  and  signing  of  the  Declara- 
tion of  Independence.  This  is  a  musical  with 
only  13  songs,  and  although  the  long  seg- 
ments of  dialogue  bogged  down  at  times  in 
Friday  night's  performance,  there  were  a 
number  of  high  points  in  the  still-evolving 
production. 

1776  is  almost  a  one-person  show,  with 
the  character  of  John  Adams  assuming 
most  of  the  dramatic  respon-  „^^_^^__ 
sibiliry.  Not  surprisingly,  this 
production  was  spear-headed 
by  Actors'  NET  managing 
director  Joe  Doyle,  who  has 
made  a  theatrical  career  out 
of  portraying  John  Adams,  ■ 
including  performing  at  the 
National  Archives  and  the  res- 
idence of  Vice  President 
Cheney.  A  little  heavy  vocally  ^^^^^^^ 
with  vibrato  but  strong  in  his  conviction  of 
Adams'  character,  Mr.  Doyle  had  a  capable 
theatrical  partner  in  Michael  Ashby,  por- 
traying Benjamin  Franklin.  Franklin's  char- 
acter was  written  as  sardonic  and  satirical, 
which  may  well  have  been  the  case,  and 
Mr.  Ashby  kept  some  of  the  mired  dialogue 
moving  along. 

Also  among  the  show's  most  interesting 
characters  was  South  Carolina  delegate 
Edward  Rutledge,  played  by  George  Hart- 
pence.  Mr.  Hartpence's  portrayal  had  a  suf- 
ficient amount  of  arrogance  to  give  the 
character  life,  as  South  Carolina  put  up  the 
most  vigorous  fight  against  the  indepen- 
dence movement.  As  Thomas  Jefferson, 
James  Petro  immediately  demonstrated 
himself  to  be  among  the  best  singers  in  the 
cast,  but  was  quickly  overshadowed  by  his 
engaging  wife. 

There  are  only  two  women  in  this  cast. 
Abigail  Adams  appears  to  her  husband, 
John,  as  a  theatrical  aside,  and  Mary  Liz 
Ivins  was  steadfast  and  solid  in  her  por- 
trayal of  Mrs.  Adams.  A  breath  of  fresh  air 
came  at  the  end  of  the  first  act  with  Kyla 


Marie  Mostello's  portrayal  of  Martha  Jeffer- 
son, the  wife  of  Thomas  Jefferson.  Mrs. 
Jefferson's  character  has  the  best  number 
in  the  show  ("He  Plays  the  Violin"  nicely 
accompanied  by  violinist  Deberly  Kaufman) 
and  Ms.  Mostello's  saucy  interpret. mon 
gave  a  refreshing  peek  at  a  romantic  side 
of  early  America. 

The  rest  of  the  delegates  came  together 
as  an  ensemble  for  the  chorus  numbers. 
Collectively,  they  could  have  used  a  bit 
more  precision  and  certainly  more  miking 
for  the  actors  at  the  back  of  the  stage. 
Accompanying  the  cast  was  a  small  ensem- 
ble of  winds  and  brass  conducted  by  Pat 
___  Masterson.  Although  the 
winds  faded  a  bit  in  the 
humidity,  the  ensemble  kept 
the  musical  pace  moving.  An 
ensemble  scene  among  Con- 
necticut delegate  Roger  Sher- 
man (Jeff  Pilchman).  New 
York  delegate  Robert  Living- 
ston (David  DeFellppis),  and 
Thomas  Jefferson  was  espe- 
^^^"^^  cially  well  balanced  and 
defined.  A  simple  but  creative  set  designed 
by  George  Hartpence  served  as  the  back- 
drop for  most  of  the  action,  which  takes 
place  in  the  Chamber  of  the  Continental 
Congress  in  Philadelphia. 

1776  tries  to  be  a  lot  of  things  to  the 
audience.  Besides  a  character  study  of  the 
more  than  twenty  delegates  to  the  Conti- 
nental Congress,  the  show  offers  commen- 
tary on  slavery,  pokes  fun  at  the  current 
Congress,  and  musically  editorializes  on 
war.  All  these  concepts  unraveled  a  bit  in 
this  production,  and  the  story  seemed  to 
bog  down  in  endless  stretches  of  slow- 
moving  dialogue,  especially  In  the  second 
act. 

ttors'  NET  also  chose  this  play  as 
the  first  musical  of  the  Open  Air 
season  to  coincide  with  the  July 
4th  weekend.  Although  it  seems  to  be  a 
signature  show  of  this  particular  theater 
company,  1776  has  not  been  done  that 
many  times  at  the  Open  Air  Theatre,  and 
will  certainly  have  audience  appeal  at  this 


act.

"Meshuggah-Nuns"  Opens 
At  Off -Broadstreet  Theater 

The  musical  Meshuggah- 
Nuns!  will  open  at 
Hopewell's  Off-Broadstreet 
Theater  on  Friday,  July  8,  for 
a  seven  weekend  run. 

The  zany  nuns  from  Nun- 
sense  are  back  and  find 
themselves  seabound  on  a 
"Faiths  of  All  Nations 
Cruise."  Fiddler  on  the  Roof 
is  the  slated  entertainment, 
but  rough  sailing  causes  all 
but  the  actor  playing  Tevye  to 
be  seasick. 

The  shenanigans  begin  as 
the  sisters  and  Tevye  are 
called  upon  to  offer  the  ship- 
board entertainment;  and 
they  put  together  an  all-new 
variety  show  for  the  ship's 
passengers  with  a  Yiddish 
twist. 

Dan  Goggin,  author  of  all 
the  Nunsense  shows,  again 
offers  a  humorous  situation 
and  tuneful  songs  for  these 
adventurous  nuns  and  their 
newfound  Jewish  friend.  Off- 
Broadstreet 's  artistic  director 
Robert  Thick  will  be  directing 
production  with  musical 
direction  by  Ken  Howard. 

Mr.  Thick  will  also  lead  the 
cast  as  Howard,  the  character 
slated  to  play  Tevye.  Oppo- 
site Mr.  Thick  will  be  Lillian 
Israel  of  Princeton  in  the  zany 
role  of  Reverend  Mother 
Superior. 

Ms.    Israel    has    played    in 

many  area  theatres  including  recycled  paper  so  you  can  see  more 

McCarter  Theatre  and  Play-  ,rees 

house   22.   She  appeared  at  - 


Off-Broadstreet  as  Ms. 
Smthye  in  Move  over  Mrs. 
Markham. 

Off-Broadstreet  veteran 
Lauren  K.  Brader  of  Hillsbor- 
ough appears  as  Sister 
Hubert,  the  nun  second  in 
command  and  waiting  for  her 
tum  in  the  spotlight.  Ms. 
Brader  just  appeared  as  the 
leading  lady  in  house  comedy 
Shadv  Business. 

Making  Off-Broadstreet 
debuts  are  Michelle  Russell  of 
Raritan  and  Angela  Sytko  of 
Garwood.  Ms.  Russell's  pow- 
erhouse belt  voice  has  been 
heard  at  many  area  theatres. 
Ms.  Sytko  has  recently 
appeared  at  Papermill  Play- 
house and  Rider  University.

Bewitched 


Kidman  and  Ferrell  Put  Twist  on  Familiar  Formula  in  Adaptation  of  Classic  IV  Sitcom 


Bewitched  (1964-1972),  starring  Elizabeth 
Montgomery,  was  a  hit  television  series 
which  enjoyed  a  long  run  on  ABC.  The  pro- 
gram revolved  around  Samantha,  an  attractive  witch 
who  couldn't  keep  the  promise  she  made  to  her 
mortal  husband,  Darrin.  that,  after  they  were  mar- 
ried, she  would  never  use  her  magical  powers.  Each 
week,  the  sitcom  placed  her  in  situations  where  she 
couldn't  avoid  twitching  her  nose  and  casting  a 
spell. 


Bewitched,  the  movie,  has  the  Ephron  sisters  behind 
the  scenes,  with  Nora  directing  and  collaborating  on  the 
script  with  her  sister  Delia,  and  Adam  McKay. 

The  story  unfolds  as  a  fiction  within  a  fiction,  and  is 
essentially  a  romantic  comedy.  The  movie  starts  when  a 
witch  named  Isabel  (Kidman)  materializes  in  the  San 
Fernando  Valley,  wanting  to  lead  a  normal  life.  At  the 
same  time,  Jack  (Ferrell),  a  fading,  Hollywood  matinee 
idol,  is  trying  to  get  his  career  back  on  track. 

He 


What  made  the 
show  so  endear- 
ing was  Mont- 
gomery's person- 
ality combined 
with  a  colorful, 
talented  cast. 
Two  of  the  sup- 
porting actresses 
received  Emmys 
for  their  perfor- 
mances: Alice 
Pearce  as  the 
easily-alarmed, 
nosy  next-door 
neighbor  Gladys 
Kravitz,  and  Mar- 
ion Lome  as  the 
absent-minded 
Aunt  Clara. 

Equally 


signs  on  as 
Darrin  in  a  remake 
of  the  television 
series  Bewitched, 
even  though  he  con- 
siders television  a 
step  down  from 
movies.  When  he 
spots  Isabel  in  a 
bookstore,  he  asks 
her  to  play  his  wife, 
Samantha.  Isabel 
accepts,  not  because 
she  wants  to  be  an 
actress,  but  because 
she  thinks  he  might 
make  a  good  mate. 

She  quickly  learns 
that  Jack  is  narcissis-

ver), Bill  Mumy  {Lost  in  Space),  Peggy  Lipton  {The

{Three's  Company),  Isabel  Sanford  (The  Jeffer- 
sons),  Bemie  Kopell  (The  Love  Boat),  and  Tom 
Bosley  (Happy  Days). 

The  screen  adaptation  of  Bewitched  pays  homage 
to  the  original,  resurrecting  many  of  the  familiar 
roles  while  putting  an  intriguing  twist  to  the  plot  to 
give  the  remake  a  soul  of  its  own.  The  film's  cast 
includes  Academy  Award-winner  Nicole  Kidman, 
Will  Ferrell,  and  Oscar  winners  Michael  Caine  and 
Shirley  MacLaine. 


bel  realizes  that  she 
only  wants  him  if  he  wants  her,  too. 

Therefore,  we  have  a  witch  pretending  to  be  a  witch 
while  hoping  to  win  the  affections  of  her  television 
spouse.  As  the  film  unfolds,  a  coterie  of  side  players 
appear,  mimicking  familiar  characters  from  the  original 
show. 

he  movie  has  some  hilarious  moments,  mostly 
thanks  to  Mr.  Ferrell' s  slapstick  comedy,  mug- 
ging,   and   other   antics.    If  you   approach   Be- 
witched   as  a  series  of  Saturday  Night  Live  style  skits, 
it  makes  for  a  pleasant,  mindless  diversion. 

Very  Good  (*••).  Rating:  PG-13  for  sex,  expletives, 
partial  nudity  and  drug  references.  Running  time:  100 
minutes.  Studio:  Columbia  Pictures.

Shirley  M.  Tilghman 
Shirley     M.     Tilghman, 

president  of  Princeton  Univer- 
sity and  professor  of  molecu- 
lar biology  was  awarded  the 
2004  Benjamin  E.  Mays

cally gifted  students  of  color.

ure and  president  of  More- 
house College.  Ron  Allen,  an

Princeton  faculty  for  15  years 
before  being  named  president 
in  2001.  She  is  recognized  for 
her  research  in  mammalian

"Dr.  Tilghmans  passion  for 
education,  joy  of  discovery, 
and  unflinching  self- 
confidence  helped  propel  her 
through  the  glass  ceiling  as 
the  first  woman  to  head 
Princeton  in  its  259-year  his- 
tory, but  it  is  her  admirable 
talent  for  nurturing  and  Inspir- 
ing others  that  make  her  a 
great  leader,"  said  Sandra  E. 
Timmons,  president  of  A  Bet- 
ter Ch.n

contributions  to  promote  edu- 
cational diversity  since  the 
1960s,  said  Dr.  Tilghman:  "A 
Better  Chance  Scholars  have 
left  their  mark  on  Princeton 
University  before  assuming 
leadership  roles  in  American 
society,  and  it  is  on  their 
behalf,  as  well  as  my  own, 
that  I  am  delighted  to  accept 
the  Benjamin  E.  Mays  Award." 

A  Better  Chance  was 
founded  in  1963  by  23  pri- 
vate schools  aiming  to  diver- 
sify their  student  populations.

Princeton  Borough  resident 
Hendricks    S.    Davis    has 

been  named  executive  director 
of  the  Newark  operations  of 
Habitat  for  Humanity  (HFHN). 
He  replaces  Jim  Tiemey  who 
moves  up  to  the  Board  of 
Directors  for  HFHN  and  will 
continue  his  personal  involve- 
ment in  the  organization's 
cause. 

Mr.  Davis  has  been  with  the 
Habitat  for  Humanity  program 
since  the  organization's  incep- 
tion. In  1970,  before  Millard 
Fuller  had  officially  launched 
HFHN,  Mr.  Davis  worked  with 
him  and  other  volunteers 
clearing  tree  stumps  on  Kion- 
onia  Farm  in  Americus,  Ga.  In 
Americus,  Mr.  Fuller  directed 
a  project  to  build  new  low  cost 
housing  for  area  residents. 
From  there,  Mr.  Fuller  went 
on  to  establish  HFHN.  "I  went 
on  to  find  a  calling  working 
mainly  with  at-risk  minority 
youth  from  urban  areas,"  Mr. 
Davis  said,  adding  that  he  is 
now  "returning  to  the  concept 
that  got  me  started  in  the  first 
place." 

For  the  past  11  years,  Mr. 
Davis  has  been  executive 
director  of  the  Princeton  Blair- 
stown  Center,  a  97-year-old 
outdoor-adventure  experiential 
education  and  youth  develop- 
ment organization. 

HFHN  has  built  over  50 
homes  in  Newark's  Central 
Ward.  "Our  partner  families 
eam  some  of  their  down  pay- 
ment with  400  hours  of  sweat 
equity,"  Mr.  Davis  said.  "With 
them,  plus  donations  from 
companies,  churches,  organi- 
zations, private  individuals 
and  an  army  of  volunteers,  we 
are  able  to  build  affordable 
single  family  homes  that 
improve  not  only  our  part- 
ners^ lives  but  also  the  life  in 
the  Newark  Community  in 
general."

Former  Hun  School  Star  Gallagher  Not  Standing  Pat; 
Enjoying  Sunshine  Game  Then  Joining  Tiger  Football 


"I'd  like  to  get  into  medicine;  I  want 
to  help  people  recover  from  injury,  ... 
you  can  go  to  a  big  school  and  have 
the  next  four  years  planned  or  you 
can  go  to  Princeton  and  have  the  next 
40  years  planned. " 


He  suffered  from  severe  asthma 
attacks  in  elementary  school  and  he 
shattered  his  femur  in  eighth  grade. 

While  many  people  would  have  shied 
away  from  contact  sports  in  the  wake  of 
such  setbacks,  Pat  Gallagher  wasn't  about 
to  be  deterred  by  such  obstacles. 

"I  didn't  want  to  let  that  get  in  the  way," 
said  the  6'0,  235-pound  Gallagher  referring 
to  his  asthma.  "I  wanted  to  prove  1  could  be 
good  at 
sports.  1 
always  keep 
hustling." 

Gallagher 
certainly 
made  that 
point  as  a 
three-sport 
star  during 
his  H  u  n 
School  athlet- 
ics career.  He  starred  as  a  tireless  lineman 
in  football,  almost  never  coming  off  the  field 
as  he  anchored  both  the  offensive  and 
defensive  lines. 

He  carried  his  intensity  onto  the  wrestling 
mat  where  he  won  titles  for  the  Hun  wres- 
tling team.  In  the  spring,  he  sparked  the 
lacrosse  team  with  his  hard-nosed  approach 
to  the  game. 

Gallagher's  pursuit  of  excellence  at  Hun 
wasn't  confined  to  sports  as  he  was  chosen 
as  a  2005  Delaware  Valley  Chapter 
National  Football  Foundation  and  College 
Football  Hall  of  Fame  Scholar-Leader- 
Athlete  Winner.  Gallagher  was  involved  in 
the  school's  diversity  club,  served  as  a 
senior  Peer  Leader,  worked  on  the  school's 
TV  station,  and  wrote  for  the  Hun  yearbook 
and  newspaper. 

The  fiery  Gallagher's  combination  of  ath- 
letic accomplishment  and  extracurricular 
achievement  has  him  headed  to  Princeton 
University  this  fall  where  he  will  be  playing 
defensive  line  for  the  Tigers. 

This  week,  Gallagher  will  be  giving  his  all 
one  more  time  on  the  high  school  level  as 
he  competes  for  West  all-stars  in  the  annual 
Sunshine  Football  Classic  this  Thursday  at 
The  College  of  New  Jersey. 

After  what  he  has  been  through  health- 
wise,  Gallagher  is  especially  proud  to  be 
playing  in  the  Sunshine  Classic,  which  raises 
money  for  the  Sunshine  Foundation,  a  char- 
ity   dedicated    to    granting    the    wishes    of 


seriously    ill,    physically 
abused  children. 


challenged,    and 


"I  know  a  lot  about  this  game,  I've  been  to 
it  the  last  couple  of  years."  said  Gallagher. 
'It's  us  playing  football  for  kids  that  proba- 
bly won't  ever  get  to  play.  That  means  a  lot 
to  me." 

Being  part  of  a  Hun  football  team  thai 
won  the  Mid-Atlantic  Prep  League  (MAPL) 
title   last   fall   for   the    first    turn'    m   lusiorv 

meant  a  lot  to 
Gallagher. 

"That  was 
exciting,  it 
had  be 
the  works  for 
<i  white,"  vnil 
Gallagher, 
noting  that 
the  program 
had  n 
won    title    in 


both  2002  and  2003. 

"It  was  tough  coming  close  but  we  had 
some  tough  kids  and  great  leaders.  You 
can't  just  give  credit  to  the  seniors;  a  lot  of 
credit  goes  to  the  former  players.  I  learned  a 
lot  about  selflessness  and  seeing  things 
through.  You  can't  let  things  get  In  the  way 
of  goals." 

Incorporating  that  straight-forward,  goal- 
oriented  approach  served  Gallagher  well  at 
Hun  both  athletically  and  academically. 

"Different  sports  have  different  size  balls 
but  sports  are  sports."  explained  Gallagher. 
"Hard  work  and  leadership  translate  no 
matter  what  sport  you  are  playing.  I'm  a  lot 
more  focused  now.  As  a  freshman  I  had 
awful  grades;  this  year  I  had  90s." 

Hun  head  coach  Dave  Dudeck,  though, 
saw  a  special  focus  in  Gallagher  from  his 
first  preseason  with  the  team. 

"I've  never  been  around  anyone  who 
worked  harder  to  Improve  himself  physical- 
ly," said  Dudeck.  "Whether  It  was  In  the 
weightroom  or  running,  he  was  relentless.  I 
remember  when  he  was  a  freshman,  we'd  be 
In  double  sessions  in  the  summer  and  he 
would  go  into-  the  weightroom  between 
practices  to  lift.  You  don't  see  that  too  often 
from  a  freshman." 

In  addition  to  his  work  ethic,  Gallagher 
displayed  an  unselfishness  not  always  seen 
in  star  athletes.  "Pat  did  everything  we 
asked  of  him,"  recalled  Dudeck.  "He  played 
linebacker,    defensive    tackle,    guard,    and 


center  He  played  both

Talkpa's  Steady  Growth  as  Player,  leader  at  Hun 
Has  Him  Headed  to  Sunshine  Classic,  then  Maine 


From  the  day  he  walked  into 
the  Hun  School  four  years 
ago,  Wellington  Talkpa  knew 
how  to  keep  his  head  in  the 
heat  of  competition. 

Whether  it  was  on  the  foot- 
ball field  in  the  fall  or  the 
baseball  diamond  in  the 
spring,  Talkpa  distinguished 
himself  as  an  unflappable 
character. 

Talkpa's  gritty  work  at  full- 
back and  linebacker  helped 
the  Hun  football  squad  win 
the  Mid  Atlantic  Prep  League 
(MAPL)  title  last  fall  while  his 
timely  hitting  and  solid  glove- 
work  at  third  this  spring 
sparked   the    Raiders   to   the 


state  Prep  A  championship 
finals. 

For  Talkpa,  the  ability  to 
come  through  in  the  clutch 
isn't  something  he  developed 
overnight.  "I've  been  playing 
baseball  and  football  for  a 
while,"  said  Talkpa.  "I've  been 
in  a  lot  of  big  situations.  I 
have  a  lot  of  experience." 

This  week,  Talkpa  is  getting 
a  special  experience  as  he 
plays  for  the  West  squad  in 
the  Sunshine  Football  Classic 
on  June  30  at  The  College  of 
New  Jersey. 

"I  never  expected  to  play  in 
a  game  like  this,"  said  Talkpa, 
who  is  heading  for  the  Univer- 


sity of  Maine  this  fall  on  a 
football  scholarship.  "It's  been 
great.  This  will  help  me  for 
Maine.  Like  in  college,  every- 
body here  is  an  all-star.  We're 
already  building  team 
chemistry. 

Talkpa  learned  the  value  of 
chemistry  last  fall  when  the 
Hun  football  team  broke 
through  to  win  its  first  MAPL 
title  after  just  missing  the 
crown  in  2002  and  2003. 

"It  meant  a  lot  for  us,"  said 
Talkpa  reflecting  on  the  cham- 
pionship which  highlighted 
Hun's  9-1  season.  "Since  my 
sophomore  year  we  had  been 
pretty  close.   It   was  a  good 


group    of    seniors.    We    had 
everyone  working  together." 

In  the  view  of  Hun  head 
coach  Dave  Dudeck,  Talkpa 
emerged  as  a  pivotal  figure  in 
that  group  of  seniors.  "Welly 
evolved  each  year  into  a  better 
and  better  player,"  said 
Dudeck.  "He  was  one  of  the 
true  leaders  of  the  program. 
He  had  an  ability  to  communi- 
cate with  everyone.  The 
younger  kids  and  the  older 
players  both  gravitated  to  him. 
He  stood  up  for  the  right 
things."

Talkpa's  progress  at  Hun 
was  not  confined  to  the  grid- 
iron or  baseball  diamond.  "He 
grew  into  a  Hun  kid,  " 
asserted  Dudeck.  He  showed 
what  the  school  was  all  about 
athletically,  academically,  and 
socially.  He's  just  a  person 
who  grew  and  grew  over  his 
high  school  years." 

While  Talkpa's  coolness 
under  fire  has  set  him  part, 
the  6'0,  235-pound  Talkpa 
acknowledged  that  he  has 
become  more  fiery  over  his 
Hun  career. 

"My  attitude  towards  the 
game  has  changed,"  said  Talk- 
pa. "I  wasn't  energetic  or  rah- 
rah  at  first.  It  has  helped  me 
to  become  more  emotional." 

The  emotional  bonds  that 
Talkpa  developed  with  his 
teammates  enriched  his  Hun 
athletic  career.  "The  biggest 
lesson  I've  learned  at  Hun  is 
understanding  how  important 
friendship  is  and  how  much 
good  chemistry  helps  a  team 
do  better,"  asserted  Talkpa. 
"It  really  lifted  us  in  both  foot- 
ball and  baseball." 

Talkpa  feels  like  he  is 
already  developing  a  good 
chemistry  with  the  people  he 
has  met  at  Maine. 

"The  coach  that  recruited 
me,  Bob  Wilder,  was  well- 
mannered  and  really  friendly," 
recalled  Talkpa,  whose  final 
college  choice  came  down  to 
Maine  and  Georgetown.  "The 
football  coaches  said  it  is  per- 
fectly fine  if  I  go  out  for  base- 
ball in  the  spring.  They  really 
made  me  feel  welcome." 

Dudeck,  for  his  part, 
believes  Talkpa  won't  wear 
out  his  welcome.  "When  he

MAINE  MAN:  Former  Hun  School  star  Wellington 
Talkpa  takes  a  break  at  practice  Monday  as  he 
prepares  to  play  in  the  Sunshine  Football  Classic 
on  June  30  at  The  College  of  New  Jersey.  Talkpa, 
who  also  starred  in  baseball  for  Hun,  is  headed  to 
the    University    of    Maine    on    a    football

trainer  and  a  program,  there's 
no  telling  what  his  body  might 
grow  into,"  said  Dudeck.  "He 
has  power,  he  has  soft  hands, 
and  he  hits." 

Talkpa  is  looking  to  become 
a  hit  when  Maine's  football 
camp  opens  on  August  7. 

"There  is  a  lot  of  lifting  and 
running  in  the  preseason  con- 
ditioning program,"  said  Talk- 
pa, who  has  been  keeping  his 


baseball  skills  sharp  by  play- 
ing for  the  Princeton  Post  218 
American  Legion  team.  "I'm 
still  learning  some  of  the  lifts. 
1  will  need  to  really  push 
myself  a  lot  over  the  next  few 
weeks." 

Based  on  how  Talkpa 
pushed  himself  during  his  Hun 
career,  he  should  emerge  as  a 
quick  learner  for  Maine.

WITH  MY  OAK? 

SURVEYS  INDICATE 

THAT  Bacterial  Leaf 
Scorch  of  Northern  Red 
Oak  is  widespread  within 
New  Jersey.  BLS  is  con- 
sidered a  threat  also  to  the 
Pin  and  Scarlet  Oak  and 
Sycamore  and  Elm.  BLS 
is  caused  by  bacterium, 
Xylella  fastidiosa.  which 
colonizes  and  physically 
clogs  the  tree's  water  con- 
ducting tissues  or  xylem. 
Water  transport  becomes 
disrupted  in  roots,  branch- 
es and  leaves  due  to  large 
amounts  of  multiplying 
bacteria  and  their  by-prod- 
ucts, making  this  disease 
especially  devastating  in 
hot,  dry  weather 
The  presence  of  bacteria 
may  also  trigger  a  reac- 
tion in  the  tree  that  plugs 
the  xylem,  further  imped- 
ing water  transport.  BLS 
is  transmitted  to  healthy 
trees  by  leafhopper  and 
spittle-bugs  and  possibly 
other  xylem  feeding  in- 
sects Many  common  her- 
baceous plants  such  as 
goldenrod.  blackberry,  clo- 
ver and  some  grasses,  fre- 
quented by  these  insects 
may  also  serve  as  reser- 
voirs for  BLS.  BLS  can  be 
diagnosed  based  on  time 
of  symptom  development, 
leaf  color  change,  and 
progression  of  symptoms 
throughout  the  crown 
Symptoms  start  to  appear 
in  mid-summer  and  con- 
tinue through  fall  BLS-af-

the  Sunshine  Football  Classic  on  June  30  at  The

on  the  line  helped  PHS  go  5*5  last  fall,  the  pro-

1990s.  Johnson  will  be  continuing  his  football

Giacalone's  Perseverance  at  QB  for  PHS  Football 
Earns  Sunshine  Honors,  Shot  at  Carnegie  Mellon 


Vinny  Giacalone  has  learned 
the  value  of  perseverance  dur- 
ing his  Princeton  High  football 
career. 

During  his  first  two  seasons 
at  PHS,  Giacalone  was  side- 
lined much  of  the  time  due  to 
serious  knee  injuries.  As  a  jun- 
ior, the  quarterback  started  to 
make  progress  despite  being 
bothered  by  knee  pain. 

The  strong-armed  Giaca- 
lone's persistence  paid  off  big 
time  last  fall  as  he  put 
together  a  superb  senior  sea- 
son which  saw  him  pass  for 
1731  yards  and  16  touch- 
downs to  help  spark  PHS  to  a 
5-5  record,  the  program's  first 


non-losing  season  since  the 
mid-1990s. 

This  week,  Giacalone  is 
reaping  the  rewards  of  that 
stellar  campaign  as  he  com- 
petes for  the  East  squad  in  the 
2005  Sunshine  Football  Clas- 
sic on  June  30  at  The  College 
of  New  Jersey. 

For  Giacalone,  playing  in 
the  Sunshine  Classic  repre- 
sents the  ultimate  achieve- 
ment for  his  high  school 
career. 

"I  learned  about  the  game 
as  a  sophomore  and  it  was  a 
goal  I  wanted  to  get,"  said 
Giacalone,  who  will  be  con- 
tinuing his  football  career  this 


fall  at  Carnegie  Mellon  Univer- 
sity in  Pittsburgh.  "It  is  the 
final  piece  of  my  high  school 
goals 

The  .Sunshine  game  will 
have  a  very  different  feel 
where  now  Giacalone's  arch 
rivals  from  around  the  area 
will  be  his  teammates. 

"It  is  hard  to  realize  that  my 
teammates  are  the  ones  I  hat- 
ed," added  the  62,  220- 
pound  Giacalone.  "At  the 
prai  I"  U  they  will  become  my 
teammates.  It  is  very  exciting 
and  ii  will  be  tough  competi- 
tion. It  is  a  gateway  to  college 
football."

head  coach  Steve  Everette, 
Giacalone  has  what  it  takes  to 
excel  in  just  about  any 
competition. 

"Vinny's  dedication  to  foot- 
ball and  as  a  student  puts  him 
over  the  top,"  said  Everette. 
who  guided  the  renaissance  at 
PHS  which  saw  the  program 
go  from  1  -9  in  2003  to  nearly 
qualifying  for  the  state  tourna- 
ment last  season.  "It  is  what 
allows  him  to  be  not  just  good 
but  great." 

In  Everette's  view,  Giaca- 
lone's progress  in  and  out  of 
the  classroom  during  his  PHS 
career  sets  him  apart. 

"It  is  hard  to  pick  any  player 
that  has  grown  as  much  as  a 
person  and  a  player  as  Vin- 
ny," said  Everette  of  Giaca- 
lone, whose  excellence  on  the 
field  and  in  the  classroom 
resulted  in  him  being  named  a 
2005  Delaware  Valley  Chap- 
ter National  Football  Founda- 
tion and  College  Football  Hall 
of  Fame  Scholar-Leader- 
Athlete  Winner. 

"He  is  a  leader;  he  gave  the 
entire  team  a  confidence  to 
play  with  any  team  in  the  con- 
ference. Vinny  knew  every 
position;  players  would  go  ask 
him  instead  of  asking  a 
coach." 

Giacalone's  achievements 
off  the  field  were  as  impres- 
sive as  what  he  accomplished 
for  the  PHS  squad.  In  the 
classroom,  he  earned  a  3.9 
GPA.  Giacalone  won  the  Pres- 
ident's Leadership  Award,  was 
nominated  as  an  American 
Legion  EBoys  State  delegate, 
and  was  chosen  to  attend  the 
National  Youth  Leadership 
Forum  on  Defense,  Intelli- 
gence, and  Diplomacy  in 
Washington.  He  was  also 
involved  in  Habitat  for 
Humanity  and  served  as  a 
peer  leader  within  the  school. 


Giacalone's  leadership  was 
crucial  as  PHS  turned  heads 
in  local  football  circles  as  it 
went  from  doormat  to  playoff 
contention. 

Sparked  by  Giacalone's 
passing  ability  and  presence  in 
the  huddle,  PHS  got  off  to  a 
2-0  start.  The  team  got  plenty 
of  attention  after  it  knocked 
off  perennial  nemesis  Trenton 
22-19  in  mid-October. 

While  the  team  sputtered  a 
bit  down  the  stretch,  it  pro- 
duced one  more  memorable 
victory  when  it  rallied  to  beat 
Holmdel  34-33  in  overtime  in 
a  stat  consolation  game. 

For  Giacalone,  the  highlight 
of  his  final  fall  was  the  win 
over  Trenton.  "The  home 
game  as  a  senior  against  Tren- 
ton was  incredible,"  recalled 
Giacalone  of  the  triumph 
which  was  PHS'  first  over  the 
Tornadoes  in  more  than  10 
years.  "I  had  never  beaten 
them  and  it  was  always  said 
we  couldn't  beat  them  and  the 
win  gave  us  a  chance  at  the 
playoffs." 

After  competing  in  the  Sun- 
shine Classic,  Giacalone  will 
turn  his  attention  to  engineer- 
ing some  memorable  wins  for 
Carnegie  Mellon. 

Although  he  is  a  Jets  fan,  he 
is  looking  forward  to  his  life  in 
the  home  of  the  Pittsburgh 
Steelers.  Giacalone  joins  the 
program  as  the  only  quarter- 
back recruited  this  year  and 
hopes  to  see  some  playing 
time. 

There  are  a  few  quarter- 
backs in  front  of  me  but  I  am 
looking  to  travel  with  the  team 
and  get  in  to  a  few  games," 
said  Giacalone  in  assessing  his 
prospects  in  the  upcoming 
season. 

"My  first  year  really  depends 
on  the  first  impression  I  make. 
Sophomore  and  junior  year 
will  depend  upon  how  well  1 
leam  the  system  and  per- 
form." 


ARMED  FOR  SUCCESS:  Former  Princeton  High 
quarterback  Vinny  Giacalone  hones  his  passing 
skills  in  a  practice  session  last  week  for  the  Sun- 
shine Football  Classic  which  will  be  played  on 
June  30  at  The  College  of  New  Jersey.  Last  fall, 
Giacalone  passed  for  1731  yards  and  16  touch- 
downs to  help  spark  PHS  to  a  5-5  record,  the 
program's  first  non-losing  season  since  the  mid- 
1990s.  He  will  be  taking  his  skills  this  fall  to 
Carnegie  Mellon  University  in  Pittsburgh.

If  Giacalone  can  persevere 
at  Carnegie  Mellon  like  he  did 
at  PHS,  he  could  make  quite 
an  impact  at  the  next  level.

Slocum 's  Emergence  as  Go-To  Receiver  /or  PHS 
Sparked  Little  Tigers  and  Now  Sunshine  Team 


Every  team,  no  matter  the 
sport,  needs  a  go-to  guy, 
someone  who  can  be  counted 
on  to  take  the  team  on  his 
back  and  produce  a  game- 
changing  play. 

Princeton   High   head   foot- 


ball coach  Steve  Everette  won- 
dered who  would  emerge  as 
his  team's  go-to  guy  late  in 
the  2003  season.  Everette  had 
done  all  he  could  to  light  a  fire 
in  his  players  in  hopes  of  turn- 
ing them  into  winners.  Now  it 


was  their  time  to  perform. 

Struggling  to  put  his  stamp 
on  the  PHS  football  program, 
Vance  Slocum  had  one  last 
chance  to  make  some  noise  as 
a  junior  in  2003. 

PHS  squared  off  against 
Holmdel  in  its  final  game  of 
the  season  and  much  like  the 
Little  Tiger  program,  Slocum 
was  still  in  his  developing 
stages,  but  not  far  from  taking 
the  next  step. 

The  junior  wide  receiver 
proceeded  to  take  his  game 
and  his  team  to  another  level 
in  that  final  game  as  he  made 
three  receptions  for  113  yards 
and  a  touchdown  to  spark 
PHS  to  a  16-12  victory.  Since 


had  to  step  up  for  myself,  but 
more  importantly  for  the 
team.  I  wanted  to  be  a  guy 
that  my  team  could  count  on 
to  help  us  win." 

Slocum  has  indeed  stepped 
up  and  Everette  did  not  hi 
lata  to  Identify  him  as  mi 
team's  go-to  guy 

"Vance  was  kind  of  our 
heart."  Everette  said  "Wl 
we  needed  a  big  play,  he  WM 
always  (here  foi  us  With  me 
game  on  the  Una,  ha  wanted 
me  ball  In  his  hands." 

This  fall.  Slocum  vull  look  to

ette,  marking  the  program  s 
first  non-losing  season  since 
the  mid-1990s  and  and  ignit- 
ing what  looks  to  be  a  promis- 
ing future. 

Slocums  efforts  have 
earned  him  a  spot  on  the  east 
team  for  the  2005  Sunshine 
Football  Classic  at  The  Col- 
lege of  New  Jersey  this  Thurs- 
day night  where  he  plans  to 
showcase  his  talent  with  the 
best  players  in  the  Mercer 
County  area. 

Even  among  the  best  players 
in  the  area,  Slocum,  a  first - 
team,  AJl-CVC  selection  at 
wide  receiver  last  fall,  figures 
to  emerge  as  a  standout  in 
Thursday's  game. 

"It's  an  honor  and  a  privi- 
lege to  be  recognized  with  the 
best  players  around,"  said 
Slocum,  reflecting  on  his 
selection  for  the  Sunshine 
game.  "The  practices  have 
been  great,  but  I'm  looking 
forward  to  getting  out  on  the 
field." 

More  than  just  displaying  his 
skills,  Slocum  made  it  clear 
that  he  and  his  East  team- 
mates want  to  come  away 
with  a  win  on  Thursday.

"It's  a  new  team  for  every- 
one and  were  all  trying  to 
form  a  new  brotherhood  with 
each  other,  and  I  think  we're 
starting  to  overcome  that," 
Slocum  said.  "We're  looking 
better  every  practice  and 
we're  ready  to  go  put  a 
whooping  on  the  West." 

The  brash  confidence  that 
Slocum  exhibits  has  become  a 
stereotype  of  the  wide  receiver 
position,  but  it  has  also  been 
the  source  of  the  senior  wide- 
out's  success. 

Before  his  breakout  game  in 
2003,  Slocum  had  not  yet 
demonstrated  his  entire  prow- 
ess on  the  field  to  his  coach 
and  teammates. 

"At  first,  Vance  didn't  seem 
to  know  exactly  what  his  place 
would  be  here,"  recalled  Ever- 
ette. "But  he  worked 
extremely  hard  from  day  one 
and  one  day  it  just  seemed  to 
click  for  him.  The  light  bulb 
went  off  in  that  last  game  and 
that  really  propelled  him  to  be 
one  of  our  team  leaders." 

But  while  Everette  was 
unsure  of  his  young  receiver's 
development.  Slocum  always 
knew  he  would  blossom  once 
his  time  came. 

"At  first  I  knew  I  had  the 
tools,  but  I  had  to  put  the  time 
and  effort  into  becoming  a 
better  player."  Slocum  said.  "I

The  indefatigable  Nester 
also  works  on  general  condi- 
tioning with  sessions  three 
times  a  week  at  the  Princeton 
branch  of  the  New  York 
Sports  Club  (NYSC). 

As  with  his  gymnastics, 
Nester  has  created  quite  a 
routine  with  his  NYSC  work- 
outs. "I  use  the  bike,  I  use  the 
weights,  I  do  the  treadmill," 
said  Nester  earnestly.  "Then  I 
take  a  shower  and  I  go  to  the 
steam  room." 

Nester's  success  is  due  to 
more  than  his  diligent  rou- 
tines, according  to  his  mother, 
Joan  Nester. 

"He  always  excels  at  compe- 
tition," said  Mrs.  Nester,  who 
notes  that  her  son  also  com- 
petes in  the  Special  Olympics' 
fall,  winter,  and  spring  games. 
"He  wants  to  do  his  best 
whenever  he's  competing." 

Stuart  Altschuler,  one  of  the 
coaches  with  the  Reality  in 
Motion  program,  will  tell  you 
that  Nester  knows  how  to  rise 
to  the  occasion.

time  Princeton-area  resident,  won  seven  gold 
medals  at  the  competition. 


"The  thing  about  Robert  is 
that  when  It's  time  to  compete

chiller,  who  has  been  working 
with  Nester  for  three  years. 
"He  puts  on  a  game  face.  He's 
clearly  one  who  brings  his 
best  effort  in  competition." 

Nester's  involvement  with 
the  Special  Olympics  program 
is  not  confined  to  competition. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  group's 
Athletes  Congress  and  he 
serves  as  "Global  Messenger." 

"The  Athletes  Congress 
includes  people  nominated  as 
representatives  of  the  other 
athletes,"  explained  Mrs.  Nest- 
er, noting  that  her  son  is  also 
involved  in  the  Boy  Scouts 
and  has  reached  the  level  of 
Life  Scout. 

"They  make  decisions  and 
recommendations  on  behalf  of 
the  athletes.  As  a  Global  Mes- 
senger, Robert  talks  to  groups 
and  presents  information 
about  him  and  why  he  likes 
the  Special  Olympics." 

In  Altschuler's  view,  Nester 
has  made  a  special  impact  on 
both  his  team  and  the  Special 
Olympics  program  in  general. 

"He  is  the  oldest  gymnast 
on  the  team  and  he's  asserted 
himself  as  a  leader,"  noted 
Altschuler. 

"He  leads  by  example.  He 
recognizes  that  he  is  the  old- 1 
est  and  that  requires  an  extra 
responsibility.  He  also  has  a 
great  rapport  with  the  other 
athletes.  I've  seen  him  at  com- 
petitions, he  knows  so  many 
athletes  to  go  up  and  shake 
hands  with.  He  has  introduced 
me  to  a  lot  of  athletes  and 
coaches." 

In  Mrs.  Nester's  view,  the 
Special  Olympics  set  the 
rhythm  for  her  son's  year,  ath- 
letically and  socially. 

"He's  been  very  active  and 
he  is  interested  in  doing  differ- 
ent things,"  said  Mrs.  Nester, 
who  pointed  out  that  her  son 
is  a  longtime  acolyte  at  the 
Trinity  Cathedral  Episcopal 
Church  in  Trenton.  "He's 
made  friends  through  Special 
Olympics  that  he  has  had  for 
years.  A  big  part  of  it  is  going 
away  for  a  weekend.  He  loves 
to  see  his  friends." 

Clutching  his  seven  gold 
medals  from  the  Summer 
Games,  Nester  made  it  clear 
that  he  enjoys  the  tangible 
reward  from  those  quarterly 
competitions. 

"My  drawers  are  full  of  med- 
als, I  don't  know  how  many  I 
have,"  he  said  with  a  broad 
grin  when  asked  to  estimate 
how  many  medals  he  has  won 
over  the  years. 

It's  no  wonder  that  Nester 
looked  forward  to  hitting  his 
30th  birthday.

The  4th  of  July  was  made 
for  baseball  —  which  might 
explain  some  of  the  strange 
big  league  happenings  that 
have  occurred  on  America's 
birthday.  It  all  began  in 
1776,  which  makes  it  only 
fitting  that  Atlanta's  Jeff 
Blauser  hit  the  1.760th 
Independence  Day  major 
league  home  run  on  July  4, 
1992.  On  the  same  day  in 
1980,  Nolan  Ryan  notched 
his  3.000th  strikeout, 
against  Cincinnati's  Cesar 
Gleronimo.  who  had  also

Summer  Hoops  League  Has  Logjam  at  Top; 
Weidel,  Upper  Makefield,  Merrill  Lynch  All  3-0 


It  has  been  a  three-horse 
race  so  far  this  season  in  the 
Princeton  Recreation  Depart- 
ment summer  men's  basket- 
ball league. 

With  the  regular  season 
about  one-third  complete,  the 
trio  of  Weidel  5-Stars,  Upper 
Makefield,  and  Merrill  Lynch 
have  each  gotten  out  of  the 
gate  with  3-0  records. 

Weidel  showed  its  balance 
in  improving  to  3-0  last  Friday 
with  a  53-46  win  over  SMB. 
Kyle  Carmichael  and  Marques 
Keith  each  scored  12  points 
for  Weidel  while  Pierre  Down- 
ing chipped  in  1 1 . 

The  2005  debut  of  Jeff 
Stewart  gave  Upper  Makefield 
a  lift  as  it  topped  Hoagie 
Haven  45-38  last  Friday.  The 
powerful  Stewart  poured  in  19 
points  while  Hunter 
Bretschneider  added  13.  The 
Haven  which  fell  to  1-1  with 
the  defeat  was  led  by  Bryan 
Miller,  who  scored  1 1  points. 


Princeton  University  junior 
star  Luke  Owings  continued 
his  hot  play  for  Merrill  Lynch 
as  he  fired  in  21  points  to  lead 
Merrill  to  a  46-39  win  over 
two-time  defending  champion 
The  Cafe/Change  Clothes. 
Former  Tiger  star  Ahmed  El- 
Nokali  added  12  to  help  Mer- 
rill to  the  victory.  Chris  Hatch- 
ell  led  The  Cafe  with  12 
points. 

The  Cafe,  at  1-2.  is  surpris- 
ingly lodged  in  the  middle  of 
the  pack.  Other  teams  hover- 
ing around  .500  include 
Georges  Roasters  and  Ribs 
(1-1),  SMB  (1-1)  and  Hoagie 
Haven  (1-2). 

Still  looking  to  break  into 
the  win  column  is  the  trio  of 
Whole  Foods  (0-3). 
Where2Ball  (0-3),  and  Dr. 
Palmer/Princeton  Orthopedics 

(0-1).

Princeton  U-10  Softball  Team 
Gets  Offensive  to  Win  in  Amwell 


. 


Since  1904 


Playing  in  the  championship 
game  of  the  Amwell  Tourna- 
ment earlier  this  month,  the 
Princeton  Girls  Softball  Asso- 
ciation (PGSA)  produced  some 
offensive  fireworks  to  come 
out  on  top. 

After  slugging  its  way  past 
Delaware  Valley  and 
Lambertville,  the  Princeton 
squad  advanced  to  the  final 
where  it  took  on  host  Amwell 
Valley. 

After  having  lost  to  Amwell 
earlier  in  the  four-team  event, 
Princeton  was  detemlned  to 
tum  the  tables  on  its  oppo- 


nent. Through  four  Innings, 
however,  neither  team  could 
seize  the  momentum  as  the 
contest  wai  knotted  at  2-2 
entering  the  fifth. 

In  the  top  of  that  frame, 
Princeton  broke  through  with 
a  five-run  rally.  Beth  Henne- 
man, Helen  Eisenach,  and 
Charlotte  Heller  delivered  at 
the  plate  to  help  spark  the 
Princeton  outburst.  Amwell. 
though,  wasn't  about  to  roll 
over  as  It  answered  with  five 
runs  in  the  bottom  ol  tl\«' 
inning. 

In    the    top    of    the    sixth. 


Princeton  produced  the  deci- 
sive rally  of  the  game  as  it 
pushed  four  runs  BCTOM  the 
plats.  While  Amwell  added  a 
run  in  the  bottom  of  the  sixth, 
ii  wam'1  enough  as  Princeton 
hung  on  for  an  11-9  win  and 
the  title 
Other  Princeton  players  who 
up  big  in  the  title  game 
included  Rachel  Gilmore, 
Charlotte  Gray,  and  Mary 
Cate  Pittman.  The  squad  was 
coached  by  the  trio  of  Paul 
Gray,  Mark  Eisenach,  and 
Alan  Kaplan.

OBITUARIES 


John  T.  Henderson 

John  T.  Henderson.  Jr..  75. 
of  Skillman  died  June  22  at 
Robert  Wood  Johnson  Univer- 
sity Hospital  in  New  Bruns- 
wick. 

Bom  in  Yonkers.  N.Y..  he 
graduated  from  the  Trinity 
School  in  Manhattan,  and  fol- 
lowing submarine  service  in 
the  Navy,  he  went  onto  Hamil- 
ton College  in  Clinton.  N.Y.. 
where  he  received  a  bache- 
lor's degree  in  psychology. 
While  at  Hamilton,  he  earned 
letters  in  varsity  football  and 
track  &  field,  and  was  a  mem- 
ber of  Alpha  Delta  Phi. 

After  college.  Mr.  Hender- 
son attended  graduate  school 
at  Columbia  University  and 
went  on  to  become  a  script 
writer  for  various  radio  shows, 
including  The  Shadow. 

His  knack  for  writing  led  to 
various  jobs  as  an  advertising 
executive  with  N.W.  Ayer, 
Dancer  Fitzgerald  Sample, 
and  Lynn  Baker.  It  was  during 
his  tenure  there  that  he  met 
and  married  Margaret  Ann 
Harrison. 

Having  lived  in  Manhattan 
and  Philadelphia,  the  Hender- 
sons settled  in  the  Princeton 
area  during  the  summer  of 
1965  where  they  eventually 
took  over  John  T.  Henderson 
Realtors,  Inc.,  founded  by 
John  T.  Henderson,  Sr.,  in 
1953. 

Using  his  advertising  back- 
ground, Mr.  Henderson  built 
the  company  into  a  12-office 
organization,  which  was  sold 
in  1998.  Perhaps  his  proudest 
business  achievement  was  in 
2001,  when  he  and  his  family 
re-entered  the  real  estate  busi- 
ness as  The  Princeton  Real 
Estate  Group,  LLC. 

Outside  of  the  office,  Mr.

School  and  leader  in  the 
Princeton  community,  died 
June  20  at  Four  Seasons  Hos- 
pice and  Palliative  Care  Eliza- 
beth House. 

Headmaster  of  The  Hun 
School  from  1951  to  1976, 
he  was  a  member  of  the  Hun

as  a  trustee  of  the  YMCA 
Princeton. 

"{He)  placed  his  primary 
emphasis  on  the  development 
of  the  intellect  but  did  so  in 
the  conviction  that  intellectual 
growth  must  go  hand  in  hand 
with  moral  and  spiritual 
growth,  the  development  of 
character,  and  the  establishing 
of  a  sound  and  lasting  ethical 
and  social  values,"  said  Dr. 
James  M.  Byer  '62  headmas-

landmark  farm  in  a  rural  portion  of  Belle  Mead, 
Montgomery  Township  has  been  gloriously  transformed  into  a 
pleasing  estate  on  4  acres.  In  addition  to  the  immaculately  kept 
barn  buildings,  there  are  handsomely  landscaped  lawns,  gardens, 
patios  and  pool.  But  it  is  the  house  itself  that  is  the  major  attrac- 
tion. With  origins  dating  to  1817,  the  structure  has  been  only 
enhanced  over  time.  Elegant  proportions  from  the  earliest  period 
set  the  tone  that  was  respected  by  later  Victorian  era  additions  and 
embellishments.  It  was  the  creative  eye  and  demanding  standards 
of  the  current  owners,  however,  that  established  the  style  and  sub- 
stance found  today.  In  the  past  twenty  years,  a  thorough  renovation 
has  taken  place  while  three  additions  were  made  to  the  house.  To 
the  back  of  the  existing  house  the  perfect  joining  of  old  and  new 
construction  has  provided  for  the  grandly  sized  gourmet  kitchen, 
large  casual  dining  area,  first  floor  laundry  room  and  a  pantry  —  in 
other  words  -  all  of  the  conveniences  not  typically  found  in  an  old 
house.  The  front  part  of  the  house  contains  spacious  formal  rooms 
with  period  detailing,  large  windows,  handsome  floors,  and  multi- 
ple fireplaces.  A  front  hall  contains  an  elegantly  curving  staircase 
to  the  second  floor  where  the  clever  joining  of  old  and  new  is  even 
more  remarkable.  With  a  total  of  5  bedrooms  and  3  Vi  bathrooms, 
a  library  and  stunning  garden  ''family  room  this  house  is  a  well 
groomed  blend  of  luxury,  history  and  comfort.  The  property  bor- 
ders both  preserved  land  and  a  quiet  neighborhood.  $1,700,000

Not  many  companies  are  brave  enough  to  put  this  in  writing,  but  we 
guarantee  you'll  save  25%  on  your  heating  and  cooling  bills  over  your  old 
central  system  in  its  first  year  or  we'll  refund  you  the  difference.  We're  that 
sure.  But  that's  not  nearly  all  you  save...

Read  other  companies'  warranty  closely.  You'll  find  that  most  don't  dare 
include  labor,  which  can  be  hefty.  Ours  does.  If  you  have  a  breakdown  on 
your  Trane  furnace,  air  conditioner,  electronic  air  cleaner  or  programmable 
thermostat  in  the  next  10  years,  you're  not  paying  for  it.  Simple  as  that. 
Plus,  we  offer...

That's  right.  Save  money,  stay  comfortable,  and  don't  pay  for  this  system 
until  next  Fall.  Then  pay  it  off,  or  make  easy  payments.

REAL  ESTATE  AND  YOU 

By  Tod  Peyton 
THE  EXTRA  EFFORT  IS  WORTH  IT 

As  a  seller,  we  want  the  property  we  market  to  look  spotlessly  attractive  to 
potential  homebuyers  Bui  even  the  most  impeccable  housekeepers  find  that 
maintaining  then  house  in  prune  showing  condition  begins  to  wear  thin  after  a 

few  weeks 

It  is  a  lot  ol  work  to  keep  the  beds  perpetual!)  made,  the  kitchen  and  bathrooms 
spotless  and  closets  neat  Is  it  worth  it?  It  is  —  it' you  want  to  sell  your  house  lor 
top  dollar  m  a  reasonable  amount  of  tune.  When  buyers  see  normal  household 
clutter. they  might  make  the  presumption  that  \  our  house  hasn't  been  maintained. 
They  see  bathtub  rings  and  think  "plumber's  bills."  Dusty  vents  cause  them  to 
imagine  having  to  replace  the  entire  heating  and  air  conditioning  system.  People 

are  often  functioning  more  on  emotion  than  logic  when  selecting  a  house. 
You  can  help  your  Realtor  by  minimizing  the  objections  that  buyers  might  have 
to  a  little  ordinary  chaos  The  eKtra  energy  you  put  into  keeping  your  home  in 
pristine  condition  will  entice  buyers  to  fall  in  love  with  it 

For  dependable,  individual  advice  on  buying  or  selling  real  estate,  call  Tod 
Peyton,  Realtor  or  any  Peyton  Associate  at  921-1550.  Please  leel  tree  to  stop

Ing  the  greater  Princeton  area. 
Its  mission  is  to  offer  afford- 
able opportunities  for  support 
and  engagement  to  older 
adults,  their  families,  and 
care-givers.  Programs,  servic- 
es, and  volunteer  activities  are 
designed  to  empower  individu- 
als to  age  in  place  with  grace 
and  dignity. 

Services  are  provided  at  two 
locations:  the  Suzanne  Patter- 
son Center  and  Spruce  Circle. 
One  of  the  most  popular  pro- 
grams Is  the  exercise  class 
held  at  the  Suzanne  Patterson 
Center  Monday,  Wednesday, 
and  Friday  mornings  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Princeton 
Recreation  Department.  It 
includes  an  hour  of  low- 
impact  aerobics  and  strength 
training  geared  to  the  mature 
adult,  and  classes  typically 
Include  17  to  24  participants. 

Certified  fitness  Instructors 
lead  the  classes,  with  free 
weights  and  resistance  bands 
provided  in  the  spacious 
room,  which  features  a  hard- 
wood floor.  It  was  formerly 
the  gymnasium  of  Miss  Fine's 
School. 

Frequent  Exercise 

"Older  people  are  more 
active  than  ever,"  points  out 
Ms.  Tyler,  "and  people  are 
very  good  about  coming  regu- 
larly. They  are  aware  of  the 
cardiovascular  benefits  of  fre- 
quent exercise." 

After  a  warm-up,  continuous 
aerobic  exercise  for  the  first 
half-hour  includes  repeated 
patterns,  steps,  and  move- 
ments to  music,  with  the 
music  Increasing  In  tempo  as 
the  class  continues. 


rce  Center 
Programs 

"We  have  dance  steps,  leg 
lifts,  boxing  movements,  modi- 
fied lumping  lacks,  and  coor- 
dinated motion  of  arms  and 
legs.  Also,  proper  breathing  Is 
always  emphasized,"  notes 
Princeton  resident  Suzanne 
Hunt,  who  has  been  attending 
the  classes  for  the  past  nine 
months. 

"I'm  a  relative  newcomer  to 
the  class,  and  I  have  been 
impressed  by  the  skill  of  the 
teachers  and  the  strength  and 
agility  of  the  class  members. 
The  instructors  are  all  differ- 
ent, and  while  the  classes  are 
basically  the  same  routine, 
each  teacher  brings  her  own 
style  and  emphasis  to  It. 

"I  am  finding  that  my  stam- 
ina is  increasing  as  the 
months  go  by,"  continues  Mrs. 
Hunt.  "And  I  also  have  been 
impressed  with  how  welcom- 
ing the  members  of  the  class 
are  to  the  newcomers." 

"There  are  a  lot  of  newcom- 
ers in  town,  and  this  is  a  great 
way  to  meet  people,"  points 
out  Ms.  Tyler. 

Brief  Break 

After  a  brief  break  and 
opportunity  to  register  pulse 
level,  the  second  half-hour  of 
class  consists  of  floor  exercis- 
es, which  Include  the  use  of 
mats,  free  weights,  and  exer- 
cise bands. 

"We  do  exercises  that  iden- 
tify and  strengthen  certain 
muscles,  such  as  the  biceps, 
triceps,  abdominals,  and  In 
the  shoulders  and  legs,"  notes 
Mrs.  Hunt. 

At  the  end  of  class,  a  series 
of  stretches  are  incorporated 
to  keep  muscles  from 
tightening.

Don't  Light  That  Cigarette! 
Help  Is  Here  to  Stop  Smoking 


It's  one  of  the  toughest 
addictions  to  break.  Lighting 
that  cigarette  is  more  than 
lighting  a  cigarette.  For  the 
smoker,  it  may  relieve  stress, 
serve  as  a  reward,  signal  a 
social  occasion,  a  pleasurable 
or  relaxing  moment,  or  simply 
taste  good. 

It  can  also  evoke  images  of 
times  when  smoking  was  con- 
sidered cool,  glamorous,  sexy, 
even  daring.  In  our  day  and 
age.  however,  the  risks  have 
come  to  outweigh  the  per- 
ceived benefits,  and  even  most 
die-hard  smokers  have  usually 
tried  more  than  once  to  quit. 

And,  indeed,  there  are  many 
ways  to  go  about  it.  Group 
support,  professional  organi- 
zations, such  as  SmokEnders, 
therapy  from  physicians,  psy- 
chiatrists; also  products, 
including  nicotine  replacement 
patches,  chewing  gum,  and 
inhalers,  are  all  available.  Of 
course,  there  is  always  sheer 
will  power. 

Some  people  are  willing  to 
try  anything.  One  dedicated 
smoker  went  so  far  as  to  have 
staples  placed  in  her  ear 
lobes,  while  listening  to  sooth- 
ing tapes  —  all  to  no  avail. 


about  hypnosis  is  that  we  can 
draw  upon  a  memory  of  a 
relaxed  time  and  guide  the 
person  into  it. "  continues  Mr. 
Seehuus.  "In  hypnosis,  we  can 
explore  those  thoughts.  What 
were  you  doing  when  you 
were  relaxed?  Where  were 
you?' 

Then,  we  might  suggest 
riding  a  bike,  taking  a  walk,  or 
engaging  in  another  activity  to 
achieve  that  relaxation.  We  try 
to  paint  a  realistic  and  believ- 
able picture  of  what  life  will  be 
like  after  they  stop  smoking, 
and  that  this  possibility  is  very 
real.  They  have  the  choice  to 
change  their  life." 

Smoking  is  an  extremely  dif- 
ficult addiction,  adds  Mr.  See- 
huus "because  cigarettes  are 
everywhere  —  in  stores, 
advertisements,  in  your  face 
all  the  time.  Trying  to  con- 
vince the  smoker  that  ciga- 
rettes are  disgusting  doesn't 
work  very  well.  Ultimately, 
they  know  they  are  being 
fooled.  It's  more  helpful  to  get 
them  out  of  the  physical  act  of 
smoking  and  the  habit 
smoking. 


Another  avenue  is  hypnosis. 
Hypnocounselor  and  coach 
Martin  Seehuus  practices  in 
Kingston.  Having  earned  a 
masters  degree  in  psychology 
from  Duquesne  University,  as 
well  as  a  certificate  in  hypno- 
tism from  the  National  Guild 
of  Hypnotists,  he  has  worked 
with  many  people  who  suffer 
from  a  wide  range  of 
addictions. 

"I  want  to  help  them  break 
the  compulsion  and  give  them 
a  choice,"  he  explains.  "It  can 
be  a  lot  of  things  that  are  a 
problem.  Maybe  they  can't 
focus  on  their  school  work  or 
career  or  on  what  they  need 
to  do;  maybe  they  bite  their 
nails;  maybe  it's  a  situation 
with  drugs  or  alcohol,  or  a 
sexual  issue.  If  it's  a  smoking 
addiction,  there  are  things  we 
can  do." 

Natural  State 

Mr.  Seehuus  points  out  that 
there  should  be  no  fear  of 
hypnotism  as  a  therapeutic 
tool.  "One  of  the  most 
frequently-asked  questions  I 
get  on  my  website  is  'Can  I  be 
hypnotized?'  The  answer  is 
yes.  It's  a  natural  state,  like 
being  in  a  trance,  an  altered 
state  of  consciousness. 

"It's  something  like  when 
you  go  to  a  movie.  You  notice 
the  Exit  signs  and  the  seats  in 
front  of  you  when  you  go  in. 
But  later,  as  you  become 
involved  in  the  movie,  you  see 
them,  but  don't  see  them.  This 
is  actually  a  type  of  trance." 


pie  usually  come  to  him  ahvr 
having  tried  other  means  to 
stop,  including  doctors,  sup- 
port groups,  or  on  their  own. 

"When  people  come  to  see 
me,  they  want  to  stop  their 
behavior  on  some  level."  he 
explains.  "Psychiatrists  and 
psychologists  have  recom- 
mended hypnosis.  The  studies 
are  very  solid.  A  number  of 
publications,  including  Scien- 
tific American,  have  done  arti- 
cles on  the  benefits  ol  hypno- 
sis. It  can  also  be  very  helpful 
in  sports.  I  recently  helped  the 
U.S.  Rowing  team  with  pain 
management." 

Ericsonian  Method 

Mr.  Seehuus  uses  the  Eric- 
sonian Hypnotism  method, 
developed  by  Milton  Ericson 
in  the  1970s.  "He  believed 
that  people  respond  better  to 
suggestions  than  to  com- 
mands. Allowing  the  person  to 
lead  and  then  presenting  them 
with  options  can  be 
productive." 
Sessions  are  one  hour,  and 
0f  anywhere  from  three  to  five 
meetings  over  six  weeks  an 
"One  of  my  methods  is  tak-  generally  needed  to  bleak  the 
ing  the  person  back  to  the  smoking  addiction, 
time  when  they  first  started  "Typically,  we  talk 
smoking  and  asking.  What  if  minutes,  then  have 
you  had  not  headed  down  this  m'™te  trance. talk  for  another 
path?  What  would  your  life  be  10  minutes,  and  then  another 
like  now?"'  10-minute     trance.       he 

explains.  "People  come  out  of

When  a  patient  arrives  at  his 
office,  Mr.  Seehuus  initially 
spends  time  talking  with  the 
person  and  discussing  the 
problem. 

"We  can  also  do  some 
trance  work  in  that  meeting  to 
demonstrate  what  it's  like. 
There's  never  a  rush.  From 
my  point  of  view,  we  have  all 
the  time  in  the  world. 

"If  it's  a  smoking  problem,  I 
might  ask  them.  When  do  you 
smoke?  When  do  you  not 
smoke?'  Smoking  provides 
benefits  to  the  person.  It  is 
relaxing,  pleasant.  When  they 
stop  smoking,  they  give  up 
that  benefit. 

"I  would  continue  by  saying, 
now  if  you  give  up  smoking, 
let's  find  another  way  to 
achieve  that  relaxed  state.'

"After  a  session,  the  person 
can  feel  both  relaxed  and

ally. Wow!  Gosh,  hypnosis  is

"Hypnosis  really  does  offer 
the  possibility  of  dramatic  and 
effective  change.  In  the  course

Responsible  Decisions 

Mr.  Seehuus  sees  all  ages  in 
his  practice,  but  the  HiTOPS 
anti-smoking  program  in 
Princeton  specifically  targets 
smokers  aged  16  to  24. 

HiTOPS  (Health-Interested 
Teens'  Own  Program  on  Sexu- 
ality) is  a  non-profit  organiza- 
tion whose  mission  is  to  pro- 
mote adolescent  health  and 
well-being.  In  addition  to  its 
focus  on  providing  adoles- 
cents with  the  knowledge  and 
risk-reduction  strategies  they 
need  to  make  responsible 
decisions  about  their  sexual 
health,  HiTOPS  education 
programs  teach  teens  to 
respect  themselves  and 
others. 


FRIENDLY  PERSUASION:  "Helping  people  who 
have  perceived  addictions  is  a  big  part  of  what  I 
do.  People  come  in  for  a  variety  of  reasons,  but 
one  thing  they  have  in  common  is  that  they  feel 
they  are  out  of  control."  Hypnotist  Martin  Seehu- 
us, MA,  MBA,  is  a  hypnocounselor  and  coach,  who 
uses  his  professional  skill  and  experience  to  help 
patients  stop  destructive  behavior. 


Educational  classes  and 
workshops  teach  decision- 
making, negotiation  and 
refusal  skills,  and  recently, 
QUITPALS,  a  smoking  cessa- 
tion program  has  been  offered 
to  those  aged  16  to  24. 

In  collaboration  with  the 
American  Legacy  Foundation, 
HiTOPS  is  piloting  this  inno- 
vative program,  using  individ- 
ual assessments,  friend  and 
family  support  groups,  free 
gifts  and  incentives,  and  facili- 
tated group  sessions. 


Ivy  Pearlstein.  MSN,  APRN- 
C,  who  is  the  director  of  the 
anti-smoking  program  at 
HiTOPS,  is  optimistic  about 
the  ultimate  success  of  this  3- 
month  program. 

"If  we  can  get  them  to  par- 
ticipate, I  know  it  can  work.  1 
have  also  been  working  with 
the  Trenton  Quit  Center,  and 
it  has  been  very  successful." 


Support  System 

She  points  out  that  the 
QUITPALS  program  allows 
participants  to  be  very  proac- 
tive in  their  treatment.  "It 
encourages  smokers  to  set  up 


a  support  system  of  two  to 
five  specifically  designated 
people  to  be  there  for  them. 
It's  like  having  a  buddy. 

"If  a  client  comes  in  and 
identifies  him-  or  herself  as  a 
smoker,  we  encourage  them 
to  quit.  First,  there  is  a  half- 
hour  of  individual  counseling 
face  to  face.  Then,  after  they 
have  quit,  there  are  follow-ups 
one  week  after,  one  month 
after,  and  three  months  later, 
by  phone  or  in  person. 

"In  addition,  we  have  group 
sessions,  which  I  facilitate," 
she  continues.  "I  have  a  spe- 
cific curriculum  1  like  to  cover, 
including  identifying  triggers, 
managing  cravings,  alternative 
social  activity,  and  role  model- 
ing refusal  skills.  Generally, 
15  to  20  people  are  in  the 
group,  and  it  can  vary." 

Ms.  Perlstein,  who  in  addi- 
tion to  being  a  nurse  practitio- 
ner, is  a  tobacco  dependence 
treatment  specialist,  notes 
that  focus  on  long-term  health 
concerns  is  not  especially  pro- 
ductive for  people  in  this  age 
group. 


"They  are  more  concerned 
with  their  hair  smelling  or 
their  teeth  not  being  as  white.

However,  if  they  have  an 
abnormal  pap  test  or  genital 
warts,  this  can  be  aggravated 
by  smoking,  and  that  gets 
their  attention. 

"Also,  teens  and  people  in 
their  early  twenties  may  want 
to    quit    because    of    sports. 

Smoking  is  a  definite  negative 
for  sports,  and  it  also  certainly 
makes  asthma  worse." 

Positive  Sign 

In  addition  to  attending  ses- 
sions at  HiTOPS,  which  meet 
for  one  hour  every  other  week 
over  three  months,  the  partici- 
pants are  encouraged  to  set 
up  their  own  group,  including 
their  designated  support  peo- 
ple, and  meet  regularly. 

"I've  had  a  couple  of  kids 
come  in  who  are  very  verbal 
and  actively  involved  in  trying 
to  stop,"  reports  Ms.  Pearl- 
stein. "When  they  say,  All  my 
friends  smoke,'  they  are  sur- 
prised to  learn  that  according 
to  a  2004  Youth  Risk  Behav- 
ior Survey,  which  questioned 
15,240  teens  in  43  states, 
only  15.8  percent  of  teens 
actually  smoke  overall.  This  is 
a  positive  sign.  The  percent- 
ages are  going  down. 

"Also,"  she  adds,  "we  use  a 
carbon  monoxide  monitor  to 
determine  the  extent  of  their 
smoking.  It's  a  breath  test  to 
find  out  how  much  carbon 
monoxide  they  retain  in  their 
lungs.  Carbon  monoxide  takes 
the  place  of  oxygen.  This  is 
very  impressive  to  them.  They 
can  actually  see  the  effect  of 
smoking  on  their  body.  The 
good  news  is  that  when  they 
stop,  the  carbon  monoxide 
level  goes  down  to  zero." 

Ms.  Pearlstein  says  she  is 
proud  of  the  effort  these 
smokers  make  and  wants 
them  to  know  the  support  is 
there.  "We  don't  underesti- 
mate the  difficulty  of  smoking 
cessation.  It's  a  chronic  prob- 
lem, and  so  many  people  later 
say,  I  just  wish  I  had  never 
started.'  But  it  is  wonderful 
when  people  see  how  much 
they  can  accomplish,  and  that 
they  can  stop."

DOMINANT  EYE 


Just  as  you  have  a  domi- 
nant hand,  you  also  have 
a  dominant  eye;  however, 
the  two  do  not  always  go 
together.  Though  most 
people  show  dominance 
on  one  side  or  the  other, 
at  least  35%  of  the  pop- 
ulation is  crossed.  This 
means  that  they  might  be 
right  handed,  but  have  a 
dominant  left  eye.  or  vice 
versa.  And.  according  to 
researchers  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Florida  at  Gaines- 
ville, this  can  make  a  dif- 
ference in  the  way  that 
people  play  baseball. 
When  the  eftects  of  ocu- 
lar dominance  on  col- 
lege baseball  players 
were  studied,  it  was  found 
that  the  best  hitters  had 
crossed  eye/hand  dom- 
inance while  the  best 
pitchers  had  uncrossed 
dominance.  This  research 
shows  how  visual  training 
may  help  improve  athletic 
performance. 


Your  ability  to  see  clearly 
affects  your  ability  to 
work,  drive,  read,  and  play 
sports.  A  recent  study 
of  college  baseball  play- 
ers indicates  that  pitch- 
ers and  hitters  differed  in 
their  ocular  dominance. 
Regardless  of  your  life- 
style or  activities,  you  can 
rely  on  MONTGOMERY 
EYE  CARE  to  help  you 
enjoy  clear  vision.  Call  us

P.S.  A  small  percentage  of 
the  population  has  central 
eye  dominance,  in  which 
both  eyes  work  equally. 
This  is  the  ocular  equiv- 
alent of  being  ambidex- 
trous.

PAIN  THAT  MIMICS 
SCIATICA 

An  inflamed  piriformis  muscle 
is  signaled  by  pain  in  the 
buttocks,  which  leads  many 
to  mistake  it  for  sciatica. 
The  piriformis  muscle  helps 
stabilize  the  hip.  leg.  and 
pelvic  area.  It  can  become 
inflamed  from  sitting  too  long 
or  rotating  the  leg  outward 
(as  when  driving).  With 
inflammation,  the  muscle  can 
harden  and  press  on  the  sciatic 
nerve,  causing  sciatic  pain  in 
the  buttocks  that  radiates  down 
the  leg  to  the  ankle  or  middle 
of  the  foot.  It  may  be  felt  in 
the  lower  back,  as  well.  Sitting 
usually  makes  the  pain  worse 
while  standing  or  walking 
often  makes  it  feel  better. 
The  good  news  is  that,  after 
proper  diagnosis,  an  inflamed 
piriformis  can  be  helped  with 
physical  therapy. 
An  inflamed  piroformis  is 
most  common  among  very 
active  people  such  as  athletes, 
health  club  users,  joggers,  and 
performers,  and  those  who  sit 
a  great  deal  such  as  members 
of  the  financial  community, 
lawyers,  psychotherapists, 
secretaries  and  drivers.  If 
you  are  in  need  of  physical 
therapy  services,  call  THE 
REHABILITATION  CENTER 
.it  732-329-1181.  A  physicJM 
therapist  is  a  specialist  trained 
to  work  with  a  patient  to 
restore  her  activity,  strength, 
and  motion  following  an  injur) 
or  surgery.  We  are  conveniently 
located  at  155  Raymond  Rd.
