Schoolsholdingtheir own

By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Princetons public schoolshold their own, overall, whencompared to 30 peer schoolsin similar districts throughoutNew Jersey, according toschool performance compar-isons made by the state Depart-ment of Education.

The reports cover each ofPrincetons four elementaryschools, John WitherspoonMiddle School and PrincetonHigh School.

The lists of peer schools in-cluded in the reports, based onsimilar student demographics

and grading policies, provide amore focused comparison andgive perspective to the num-bers, the Department of Edu-cation said.

By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

The state Department of Edu-cation is requiring PrincetonHigh School to develop a Correc-tive Action Plan after an investi-gation found that the school mayhave allowed a significant num-ber of students to graduate be-

tween 2009 and 2012 despite fail-ing to meet attendance require-ments.

The Department of Educa-tions Office of Fiscal Accounta-bility and Compliance began re-viewing Princeton High Schoolsattendance records late last yearafter receiving information froman anonymous source.

The review was initiated fol-lowing the receipt of concernsthat some students may havebeen awarded diplomas despitepoor attendance and/or excessivetardiness, the report read.

The Princeton Board of Educa-tion responded to the report onApril 8 with a press release.

We are gratified and unsur-

prised that after a comprehensivereview of 2009 through 2012 grad-uates' records, the [OFAC] has re-leased a report finding that aclaim made in the fall of 2012 byan anonymous complainant wasnot substantiated, the releasebegan.

The statement refers to an itemin the report that reads, in the

absence of documentary evi-dence, the OFAC cannot conclu-sively determine whether all 2009through 2012 graduates met thelocal attendance requirements.

The report indicated that, inaddition to failing to properly doc-ument students attendance, staffdoctored transcripts. Handwrit-ten notes were added to tran-scripts presented to an OFAC in-vestigator in February.

Upon initial review, the inves-tigator noted the majority oftranscripts presented at that timewere identical to the transcriptsoriginally provided at the incep-tion of the investigation, the re-port read. However, most of the

transcripts now also containedhandwritten notes indicating thatadditional credits had beenearned by the graduate, but hadbeen erroneously excluded fromthe transcript.

The PHS attendance policystates that a student may havecredit denied for a class if theyare absent more than 18 times ina year, nine times in a semester orfour times in a quarter-longcourse. Students who are deniedcredit have the opportunity to ap-

peal by providing a written expla-nation for their absences and un-dergoing a school committee re-view.

Princeton library recognized as Library of the FutureBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Just days after the PrincetonCouncil proposed that the munic-ipal librarys funding remain flat,the Princeton Public Library wasrecognized as the American Li-brary Associations 2013 Libraryof the Future.

The award honors the librarysCommunity Collaboration for En-hanced Technology Services proj-ect, which aims to make the li-brary a place for residents to re-ceive technology assistance anddiscover technological innova-

tion.The award committee stated

that the Princeton Public Library

has developed a model for li-braries of all types, which in-cludes something for everyone,from users who had no computerexperience to experts who wereencouraged to teach and attendnetworking events.

The librarys board of trusteessubmitted a budget proposal inMarch requesting $4 million, a 4.6percent increase from 2012 mu-nicipal funding.

In March, library Executive Di-rector Leslie Burger said some ofthe funds from the requested in-crease would be used to supporttechnology infrastructure im-

provements. Burger said the li-brarys technological capabilitieswere not sufficient to support the

communitys needs.We planned the building 12

years ago, she said in March.Just think about how much tech-nology has changed in the last 12months. We are at capacity on ourwireless network. We felt thatvery acutely after SuperstormSandy, when people came in andtried to connect their devices. Wesimply run out of network. Wecan only accommodate 500, whenwe need to accommodate 1,000.Our bandwidth is becoming inad-equate to carry the amount ofviewing and downloading thatshappening.

The $61 million municipal op-erating budget, introduced inearly April, would grant the li-

brary $3.85 million to cover oper-ating expenses. This representsthe combined amount the libraryreceived from the separate town-ship and borough budgets in2012.

Its important to recognizethat weve made a request, andthat the municipality has re-sponded to that, but nothing isfinal yet, library Director ofCommunications Tim Quinnsaid. If our request for an in-crease is denied, we would have torevisit our list of what were hop-ing to achieve here. Certainly, Idont envision any existing serv-

ices experiencing cuts, but wellhave to see how we will addressthe bandwidth issue.

Quinn said the library attrib-utes the Library of the Futureaward to the support the libraryhas received from the community.

We are very fortunate to havea community that loves the li-brary and supports it, Quinnsaid. It was a private fundraisinginitiative that allowed us to pur-chase brand new iMac computersand a laptop cart. We are verygrateful for both our municipalsupport and the private citizenswho donate and show their sup-port.

The council could opt to adjustthe budget to provide more li-

brary funding before adoption.There is a public hearing sched-uled for May 28.

Community Park School struggled in report

school ready for college and ca-reers, Education CommissionerChris Cerf said in a press release.

The reports, issued by the statein mid-April, detail the elemen-tary and middle schools perform-ance in academic achievement,student growth, and college andcareer readiness. The high schoolis also graded on graduation andpost-secondary enrollment rates.

Riverside, Johnson Park and

Littlebrook elementary schoolswere rated very high in compar-ison to their peers. Community

Park had about average in peercomparison of academic perform-ance.

Community Park School strug-gled the most on the performancereports.

This school's college and ca-reer readiness lags in comparisonto schools across the state, the re-port said. Additionally, its collegeand career readiness significantlylags in comparison to its peers.

In a press release, the districtasked that the public keep inmind that college and careerreadiness ratings at the elemen-tary school level are based on at-

tendance.Elementary college and ca-

reer readiness is based solely on

chronic absenteeism, the districtsaid. Among a diverse popula-tion, students may miss school fora variety of reasons, such as reli-gious holidays or extended travelabroad.

John Witherspoon MiddleSchool ranked high or very highin every category.

Princeton High School per-formed well in some categoriesand was ranked average in others.

This school's academic per-formance is high when comparedto schools across the state, andabout average when compared toits peers, the report said. This

school's college and career readi-ness is very high when comparedto schools across the state. Addi-

tionally, its college and careerreadiness is very high when com-pared to its peers. This school'sgraduation and post-secondaryperformance is high when com-pared to schools across the stateand about average when com-pared to its peers.

Academic performance rank-ings are determined, in part, byAP tests and PSAT scores. Theschool district noted that only cer-tain subjects are taken into ac-count by the state in determiningrankings.

Only AP tests in math, sci-ence, social studies and English

are taken into account. Many stu-dents also take exams in suchareas as foreign languages, art

history and music theory, whichare not included in the metrics,the district said. While many stu-dents take the PSAT, it is optional.If the district were to make thetest mandatory, all students wouldtake the test, but a half-day of in-struction would be lost and costsfor testing would be incurred.

In addition, the district said thepost-graduation information isbased only on the number of stu-dents who attend colleges and uni-versities within the United States.

Each year, approximately adozen or more students fromPrinceton Public Schools attend

universities outside the U.S., suchas Oxford, St. Andrews andMcGill, the district said.

letter to the editor

in our opinion

Vote for Grover Cleveland!Its time to recognize former president in New Jersey Hall of Fame


Grover Cleveland needs your

vote. Seriously. Time is of the

essence, or else the only U.S.

president who was born in New Jer-

sey, who lived here for 11 years with

his family, and who is interred here,

will once again be passed over by the

New Jersey Hall of Fame.

The what, you say? The New

Jersey Hall of Fame. Its a semi-offi-

cial institution, authorized by the

Legislature in 2005, which recognizes

New Jerseyans who have made in-

valuable contributions to society and

the world beyond. A large part of its

mission is educational. By present-

ing significant and powerful role

models and teaching young people

about the voting process, the NJHOF

states, the Hall of Fame is a source

of learning, inspiration and hope for

children.

Heres how it works. Every year, a

panel of experts recommends nomi-

nees to NJHOFs voting academy,

which then chooses a slate of candi-

dates in five areas of achievement.

The public then votes online. Jon Bon

Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Martha

Stewart, John Travolta and Bruce

Willis have already been inducted. So

have Abbott & Costello and Jerry

Lewis. New Jerseys other president,

Woodrow Wilson, has already been in-

ducted. But Grover Cleveland just

cannot catch a break.

Cleveland (b. 1838, Caldwell, Essex

Countyd. 1908, Princeton) is not

ranked among the great presidents,

but he is remembered as an honest,

independent and industrious Chief

Executive who promoted clean gov-

ernment and opposed special inter-

ests. The first Democrat to win elec-

tion after the Civil War, Cleveland is

the only president to have served non-

consecutive terms, 1886-1889 and 1893-

1897. A man of simple tastes, blunt

and plain-spoken, he was never hap-

pier than when he was off hunting

and fishing with his pals. The presi-

dent would accompany his wife to the

theater, witnesses said, looking like a

condemned man on his way to the

gallows.

After leaving the White House,

Cleveland lived in retirement in The

Westland Mansion on Hodge Road, a

National Historic Site. He and family

played an active role in Princetons

community life. The president was a

member of The Nassau Club and an

avid supporter of Princeton Universi-

ty athletics. His grave is in Princeton

Cemetery.

Princetonians already inducted

into the NJHOF include Paul Robe-

son, Michael Graves and Joyce Carol

Oates but not Albert Einstein, an-

other peculiar omission. Other

Princetonians nominated this year

are Revolutionary War patriot

Richard Stockton and author John

McPhee.

Lets do the right thing by

Grover Cleveland. You have until

May 3 to vote, at www.njhalloffame.

Mulching methods being usedare weakening and killing trees

Approximately 85 percent of themulching methods landscapers presentlyare using are actually weakening and even-tually killing your trees. Everywhere I go I

see the black mulch in dense high pilesaround trees and bushes rotting the barksurfaces, encouraging surface root growth,discouraging deep supportive root develop-ment, preventing penetration of neededmoisture, and promoting extensive and de-

structive root girdling. And then we won-der why we lose so many trees in storms!

You, the public, corporations, universi-ties and municipalities, are paying highprices for detrimental landscape care both in the mulching practices and in thedousing of unnecessary herbicides andpesticides.

These practices kill off the healthy soilfood web, which is abundant with a diversepopulation of organisms that feed and pro-tect plants and trees. The result is a soilbarren of life and therefore dependent ongreater and greater applications of syn-

thetic fertilizers the high quantity ofwhich cannot be absorbed by the plantsand thus ends up in our water supply ren-dering it undrinkable and poisoning theaquatic life.

Working with a landscaping plan, whichsupports a sustainable approach, a diversenative species population, and has an ease

of care is totally attainable. Let us chooseto journey in that direction and keep ourland healthy for the now and for the future.

The Accursed by Joyce CarolOates (Ecco, $27.99)

The newest novel from JoyceCarol Oates, The Accursed, in-

ducts the reader into the stifling

high society of Princeton, NewJersey, at the turn of the last cen-tury an interminable tea partywhere everybody who isn't a vam-

pire or a socialist is doing a lot ofhard drugs. Woodrow Wilson is atrembling mess whose racist day-mares can only be calmed withregular doses of opium. UptonSinclair is threatening to disman-tle America through serial muck-raking. Everything except lau-danum, hardcore Presbyterian-ism, and blueberry muffins isbeing actively repressed. (As

Oates herself said last month,during a reading at Seattle's Cen-tral Library, the world of thisnovel is a sort of esoteric play-ground for Southern boys, wheregraduating seniors freed theirpersonal slaves upon leaving.)Those who preach fire and brim-stone are revealed to be shamefulcowards. Naturally, the only spiri-tual landscape befitting them is ahaunted one, in a gothic novelfrom which God is notably ab-sent.

The narrator is a heartbrokenhistorian descended from an oldPrinceton family the van Dycks

and the story he tells revolvesaround the richest, whitest fami-ly in Princeton, the Slades.Grandpa Slade is much loved,with a big family of beautifulchildren and an enviable publiccareer as a minister and formergovernor. But Grandpa Slade isalso hiding a nasty secret fromhis youth, and he can't keep theresulting curse from systemati-cally murdering his family in in-creasingly strange and disturbingways.

Meanwhile, the residents ofPrinceton engage in hystericalgossip, and famous writers makecameo appearances, offering con-solation or criticism as they seefit Mark Twain, booze-soakedand impotent; Upton Sinclair, los-ing the battles against both capi-talism and industrialized meat,and Jack London, utterly butcher-

ing the socialist cause. London, itturns out, is a demonic hedonistso vile, he can explain his literarysuccess only by way of the supe-

Dudeck signs separation agreementBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Princeton Police Chief DavidDudeck has signed a separationagreement and will retire in Octo-ber.

The Princeton Council intro-duced and passed a resolution toaccept the agreement at a specialmeeting on April 18. Dudecks re-tirement comes on the heels of al-legations of misconduct that wereleveled against him at the end ofFebruary. Dudeck has not been in

the office since Feb. 26 and is cur-rently on documented medicalleave. The allegations, which werereported to the town through thelocal police union, were with-drawn last week, municipal Ad-ministrator Bob Bruschi said.

In public comment, former bor-ough councilman Kevin Wilkesimplied that the allegations wereretaliation from discontented offi-cers as a result of decisionsDudeck made during consolida-tion. Wilkes cited an oversupply of

sergeants 13 officers for eight po-sitions and new policies thathave been instated to facilitate

consolidation.There have been tensions

throughout the merger that arecoming to the fore, and you needto address those and understandthe dynamics of the forces theyreexerting on the police force,Wilkes said. I urge you to assessthe motives of the accuser. Werethey passed over for a promotion?Were they resentful about a buy-out decision? Have they beenmade to work nights after years ofworking days all of which havehappened in the department? If

infractions have been committed,they should be properly adjudicat-ed, but you should turn to thelarger issues of dissension in theforce.

Had Dudeck not accepted theseparation agreement, he wouldhave been the subject of an inves-tigation by the Mercer CountyProsecutor. Despite the withdraw-al of the allegations, Council-woman Jo Butler said that any al-legations against Dudeck wouldultimately have resulted in his re-

tirement.Somebody with that amount of

service has a lot of risk, Butler

said. He couldnt risk that pen-sion the risk is too great for his

family.Butler was the only member of

Council to vote against acceptingthe agreement, saying tht she didnot believe the agreement repre-sented Councils only option inthe matter.

This is a sad day for Princetonand it is a sad day for me personal-ly, Butler said. I said on Jan. 1that I thought we had the rightman for the job in Chief Dudeck. Istand by what I said. I think Dave

is an honest, honorable and braveman. For anyone that might per-ceive this as some sort of victory,let me caution you: It is not. Ourcommunity is diminished by theretirement of Dave Dudeck. I havebeen under pressure to approvethis resolution it would be con-venient to have a unanimous deci-sion but Im sorry, I cannot dothat.

Moving forward, Council dis-cussed plans for an audit of thepolice department, and the possi-

bility of exploring other opera-tional models. Mayor Liz Lempertsaid Dudeck would assist the mu-

nicipality with the transition inthe months before his retirement.

In the meantime, Capt. NickSutter will continue to oversee thedaily operations of the depart-ment. In the public comment ses-sion, many residents, includingformer borough mayor MildredTrotman, spoke in defense ofDudeck.

I had the distinct pleasure ofworking with Dave Dudeck for 27of the 30 years he gave Princetonstellar service, she said. And Iknow that I, like many members

of the community with whom Ihave spoken, have only highpraise for his leadership through-out those almost 30 years. To me,it is particularly troubling that atthe end of his time in Princeton,after all the positive years of serv-ice, he is being remembered inthis fashion. His reputation isbeing scarred, and I think that ismost, most unfortunate forPrinceton.

Bruschi said the agreementwas finalized and then signed by

Dudeck on April 13.He and his attorney both had

the opportunity to weigh in on it,

Bruschi said. The agreementwas the result of work done over

the past couple of weeks.According to the terms of the

agreement, Dudeck had a seven-day period to revoke his consentto the separation. That period ex-pired on April 20. Dudeck will re-main chief of the departmentuntil his official final day on Oct.1, which will also mark his 30thanniversary as a police officer.

The chief is also expected to re-main on medical leave until Oct. 1.If he is medically cleared to re-

turn to work prior to that date, hemust choose to either retire early,or to use the 788.5 hours of paidtime he has accrued in holiday,personal, vacation and terminalleave. Butler said she hopesPrinceton can move forward andstrengthen the police departmentwithout reverberations from thisissue.

I just hope we can stick to ourguns, Butler said. Chief Dudeckmade the right decisions for ourcommunity. I hope were not dis-

Jacqueline Baldassari canstand the heat, and theres no wayshes getting out of the kitchen.

The Princeton chef andMercer County native recentlyreturned from Los Angeles,where she finished filming the11th season of Hells Kitchen, acooking reality show on Fox tele-vision that pits contestantsagainst one another under thetutelage of celebrity chef GordonRamsay.

I had the opportunity to go onanother show a few months ago,

said Baldassari, who appeared onthe Food Networks Chopped in2011. And then Hells Kitchencalled and I was like, yup, I wantto do that. I went to see castingproducers in New York City and

then they brought me to L.A.Baldassari, currently the head

chef at Ivy Inn on Nassau Street,was raised in Mercer County,where her family owned 10restaurants.

They did everything fromdoughnut shops to high-end cater-ing, she said.

Although cooking runs in thefamily, Baldassari originallyplanned to follow a different ca-reer path.

I started going to college foraccounting, and changed mymajor after one semester, shesaid.

At the time, Baldassari was

working at Rats, the well-knownrestaurant at Grounds For Sculp-ture in Hamilton.

I was a food runner, and thenthey said, hey, why dont youcome into the kitchen, Baldas-

sari said. I was 18 then, and Ihavent come out of the kitchensince. They taught me everythingI know.

Baldassari began working inPrinceton a few years later.

Basically, I worked my way upNassau Street, she said. I justkept moving up, from restaurantto restaurant. I grew up here. Ivealways worked here. I know whatthese people want, what they love,and exactly what to give them.

Baldassari said that, while shecouldnt reveal much about theshow because the full season hasnot yet aired, there were a fewmoments that stood out.

There was one really low mo-ment, she said. I was on themeat station, and it was just anepic fail. I was so scared, I wasshaking, I couldnt use my knife. I

just wanted to crawl into a hole.

The best moment was getting onthe private jet and getting tosquish grapes with my feet in Cal-ifornia. You have to take the goodwith the bad.

Overall, Baldassari said she ap-preciated the opportunity to workwith Ramsay, a British chef bestknown for his thick skin andabrasive manner.

Working with Chef Ramsay isawesome, she said. Hes in-tense, but its because he caresabout his food. To see someonewith that much passion is great.It gives me hope for restaurantsand food in general. It makes meworry less that in like 40 years

well just be having all our mealscooked by a machine.

Baldassari ultimately plans toopen her own restaurant, and shesaid that dream could be realizedsoon.

Definitely within the nextthree years I want to start lookingfor a location, settling my feet andgoing to town, she said. I wantto do simple bistro food, but donereally well, and at a reasonableprice. Itll definitely be New Jer-sey, and it will definitely be Mer-cer County.

Baldassari said that, while sheloved letting her spicy Jersey Girlpersonality shine on television,she would not let fame or recogni-tion affect her ultimate goal tobe a good chef.

My favorite restaurants andthe chefs I look up to are the guyswith 20-seat restaurants but

amazing food, she said. Yourethere to give people the best possi-ble product. To build up yourclientele, you dont necessarilyhave to be famous, you just haveto have good food.

Since 1971, the ACP has pro-duced a free, community-wide cel-ebration of the arts first calledthe Art Peoples Party as the em-bodiment of its mission of build-ing community through the arts.In 1985, students from PrincetonUniversity lent their support andthe event known as Communiver-

sity Festival of the Arts was born.This year, more than 40,000 visi-tors are expected to attend.

Performance highlights will in-clude music by artists that hailfrom Central Jersey DanieliaCotton, Some Like it Hot Club,Luke Elliot, Blue Jersey Band,Dave Grossman, Rainbow Fresh,The Blue Meanies and StephanieWhite and the Philth Harmonics,to name a few.

Failure to reduce gunviolence is shameful

The recent failure by the U.S.

Senate to pass a single new meas-ure to reduce gun violence is ashameful and outrageous insultto the victims of Newtown,Conn., and to the 90 people a daywho die from gun violence inAmerica. To not even get the nec-essary 60 votes for bipartisanmeasures such as extending back-ground checks to almost all gunsales, and increasing penalties forillegal gun trafficking, is especial-ly egregious.

Polls show about 90 percent ofAmericans, including 75 percentof NRA members, support ex-panding background checks. It isa profound sign of democraticdysfunction when the US Senatecant event muster 60 percent ofits members to support it.

We worked hard in our regionand are pleased that all four U.S.Senators from N.J. and P.A. votedfor these important bills that arecommon sense, the experience ofother nations, and almost all inde-

pendent experts agree would re-sult in major reductions in gunviolence. We especially commendSen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) forhis long-time leadership on thisissue, and for being the lead spon-sor of a bill to limit ammunitionmagazines to 10 bullets; and Sen.Pat Toomey (R-PA) for co-leadingthe bill on expanding backgroundchecks.

Though it is hard to resist, wemust not succumb to cynicism orhopelessness. That would onlyguarantee that this outrageoussituation will continue. Majority

leader, Sen. Harry Reid, has leftthe door open for a new vote onthe bipartisan backgroundchecks. If there is a strongenough expression from Ameri-cans of good will, these defeatscould be reversed sooner ratherthan later.

It is crucial that we understandthat real progress on major socialissues usually takes persistent ef-fort over time. Movements for theabolition of slavery, womens suf-frage, civil rights and ending theVietnam and Iraq wars all took adecade or more of sustained citi-zen action to achieve significantresults.

Some 35 years ago, I was aleader in founding the NationalNuclear Weapons Freeze Cam-paign. After I became executivedirector of the Princeton-basedCoalition for Peace Action in1981, I chaired the Steering Com-mittee for the New Jersey Cam-paign.

In response to a hugegroundswell of public opinion,including the largest demonstra-tion in U.S. history in June 1982,and passage of Nuclear WeaponsFreeze referenda in New Jerseyand nine other states, PresidentReagan resumed then-suspendednuclear arms negotiations withthe Soviet Union. Mostly to tryand pacify the U.S. peace move-

ment, he proposed the abolition ofmedium-range nuclear weapons,which everyone knew would berejected.

But five years later, a new Sovi-

et leader came into power and ac-cepted that proposal. The resultwas the first nuclear weapons re-duction treaty in history, whichin 1987 agreed to abolish that en-tire category of nuclear weapons.Since then, additional treatiesand other measures have reducedthe global nuclear arsenal fromabout 70,000 to 10,000 nuclear war-heads. That still leaves a lot ofwork ahead, but it represents farmore progress than almost every-one then imagined possible.

We can make similar progressin reducing gun violence inAmerica. It requires average citi-zens who are willing to persist intheir activism. That can takemany forms, such as vigils,demonstrations, lobbying, educa-tion, and electoral and mediawork. We need people to committo such sustained involvement.Those wanting to become in-volved are encouraged to visitCFPAs web site www.peacecoali-

tion.org or call the office (609) 924-5022.

letter to the editor

Polyakov honored with physics prizeAlexander Polyakov, PrincetonUniversity's Joseph Henry Profes-sor of Physics, was honored withthe 2013 Fundamental PhysicsPrize for his lasting work in fieldand string theory.

The $3 million prize was pre-sented during a March 20 ceremo-ny in Geneva by the FundamentalPhysics Foundation.

The award recognizesPolyakov's influential work in

string theory, which looks to findcommon ground between quan-tum mechanics and general rela-tivity.

In addition, he was honored forhis work in quantum field theory,

a framework for modeling the dy-namics of particles.

Polyakov was one of three win-ners of the foundation's 2013Physics Frontiers Prize fromwhich the recipient of the Funda-mental Physics Prize was chosen.Polyakov was selected by the ninerecipients of the inaugural Fun-damental Physics Prize awardedin 2012, four of whom are facultymembers at the Institute for Ad-

vanced Study.The Fundamental PhysicsPrize is the world's highest pay-ing academic prize and was estab-lished by Russian physicist andinvestor Yuri Milner.

riority of certain races, and theinheritance of these superiortraits by superior specimenswithin these races,which eventhe slant-eyed,the Jew, and thedagos take for afact. To cope,everyone within

a five-mile radiusof Nassau Halldrinks laudanumlike it's Tang.

In this very long,occasionally ex-hausting, and ex-quisitely pretty so-cial-justice lecture,Oates has made ofthe ugly Americansubconscious amarshland known as

the Bog Kingdom. Both metaphorand geographical oddity, the bogis neither fully real nor fullyimaginary. It seems to exist justoutside of town, but disappearswhen it is sought. From thisghostly swamp emerge all ofPrinceton's repressed desires.Through the swamp pass the chil-dren of tyrannical fathers andthe wives of hysterical husbands.And in the swamp live all ofPrinceton's victims, turned mur-derous. The lynched hang from

silvery trees. Brutalized womenscrub lead-gray palace steps. Onewitness describes it as a sort ofwhitewashed dream, astonish-ing to the eye, one would havethought that the world hadturned inside-out and Heaven haddrunkenly reversed itself withHell.

Oates does risk beating us over

the head with these very heavy

themes, and after 500 pages or so,the sheer number of demons andserpents and bloodied bosomsand wanly pretty girls begins tograte. At times, it feels like therewas less joy in the writing of the

novel than in the puz-zling and the divin-ing of it. But the pa-tient reader is re-warded. A doomedexpedition toAntarctica and ananachronistic Cor-

mac McCarthy-style church ser-mon at the novel'send delivered,insanely, in ALLCAPS redeemall the talk aboutcorsets. If youcan stick withit, this is morethan a history

class; there is musichere.

Plus, somewhere in the middle,we get to drink Old Grand-DadWhiskey with Mark Twain inBermuda as he freely admits thathe did not waste his time read-ing mere fantasies, when the ac-tual world of pain & sufferingstared him in the face. The Ac-cursed is no mere fantasy. It ad-dresses the world of pain and suf-fering directly, and raises thedead to haunt those who shouldhave spoken.

Entire generations cast grue-

some judgment on the currentone, and it is this immediacy of

judgment that elevates an other-wise mildly creepy ghost story toa downright terrifying anthropol-ogy.

According the report, stu-dents who did not appeal theircredit loss were still allowed tograduate. The report said PHSPrincipal Gary Synder was ques-tioned about the appeal process.

"When pressed regarding theappearance of selective applica-

tion of the policy, principal Sny-der cited the students' knownmedical/life conditions and indi-cated that PHS may not send lossof credit/right to appeal noticesto the parents of students whose'situation' were 'known' to staff,"the investigative summary ofthe OFAC report said.

The Board of Education state-ment said that, out of nearly1,400 graduates between 2009and 2012, the OFAC investigationfound less than perfect docu-

mentation of attendance ap-peals for only 12 students.

We are completely confidentthat, notwithstanding the lack ofperfect documentation, the pro-cedures in those limited caseswere appropriate and fair, thestatement said.

The Board of Education saidit agreed with OFACs final rec-

ommendation that it create aCorrective Action Plan, but de-nied the implication that atten-dance records had been doc-tored.

While the district agreeswith the recommendation, ittakes great exception to theomissions, misleading languageand incomplete account in thereport, the statement said.Most of all, it must be clearlyand firmly stated that neveronce were any student records

altered in any way.A Department of Education

representative said the state hasnot yet received a Corrective Ac-tion Plan from the Princetonschool district, but it is expectedthat changes to the attendancedocumentation policy will be im-plemented before the start ofnext school year.
