Grads urged to have faith in institutions By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber on Tuesday urged graduates to help rebuild faith in institutions at a time when public confidence in them is “ebbing.” “People are losing faith not only in government but also in business, journalism and nonprofit organizations,” he said from a platform in front of historic Nassau Hall during the 270th commencement in school history. “I hope you have the courage to believe in our institutions, to maintain, repair and improve them and to sustain them for the future.” Before a crowd that had gathered on a cold morning on the front lawn, Eisgruber touched on the “fractious politics and bitter disagreements of our day ... .” He avoided any mention of President Donald J. Trump in a speech intended as a tribute to former University President William G. Bowen, who died in October at age 83. Yet in his remarks, he touched on an issue that Trump raised as a candidate and has focused on in his time in the White House. Eisgruber recalled a story of how Princeton alumnus and heart surgeon Dr. Harold Fernandez, who had come to the U.S. illegally as a young boy and entered Princeton in the 1980s with a fake green card and social security number. “During Harold’s freshman year, his status was discovered, and he feared that he would be expelled from the university and deported from the country,” Eisgruber said. “Bill Bowen arranged for Princeton’s immigration attorney to defend Harold and personally supported his cause.” “Empathy, observed Dr. Fernandez, is something much needed, and all too lacking, in today’s public discourse about immigration and many other topics,” Eisgruber said. “I agree with Dr. Fernandez, and I am confident that Bill Bowen would have agreed as well.”

National Basketball Association legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar received an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree. Bowen, a former provost and later the 17th president in university history, supported turning Princeton co-educational in the 1960s and later supported racebased admissions policies. “Over the course of a ceaselessly productive life, Bill was a powerful and effective advocate for co-education, the excellence of the faculty, racial and socio-economic inclusivity and the freedom of speech,” said Eisgruber, who was a student at Princeton in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Bowen ran Nassau Hall. “He improved this university tremendously, and his scholarly work aided the cause of equal opportunity across this country.” Eisgruber’s comments came on a day when the university on Tuesday awarded degrees to 1,268 undergraduates, three to students from former classes and 988 graduate students.

Reunions weekend features talk on university’s potential growth By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

215-354-3146

Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber told alumni Saturday that he would like to build two dormitories on campus, with an eye toward further expanding the undergraduate student body. Nassau Hall already has announced plans to phase in 500

more undergraduates, but Eisgruber’s comments suggest that he would like to see even more students attending one of the nation’s most selective private universities. At the moment, Princeton has 5,277 undergraduates, but it offered admission to only 6.1 percent of the 31,056 applicants for the incoming freshman class, according to data on the university web site. Eisgruber, speaking on the annual Reunions weekend, emphasized that a Princeton education is “transformative” and talked of his desire to expand access to it. “We need to be drawing talent from every sector of our society if we’re going to succeed at fulfilling our aspirations to excellence,” he said from the stage of Richardson Auditorium on campus. The school has identified current athletic facilities as the site of a new dormitory. But Eisgruber said he would like to put two there. “The reason I’d like to build two residential colleges is that right now we have no capacity to

renovate our existing dormitories,” he said. “We have no capacity to renovate any dormitory on this campus right now, because the only way we could do that is to reduce the number of students we’re taking. So the only way we make progress there is if we can build a couple of residential colleges, which allows us to renovate and then somewhere down the road expand again.” His comments come with the university planning the next phase of its growth, including expanding across Lake Carnegie onto land that Nassau Hall owns in West Windsor. In terms of the makeup of the student body, he pointed to how 17.5 percent of the incoming freshman class is from families where neither parent went to college. Touching later on the costs of college education, he said 60 perPhoto by Phil McAuliffe cent of Princeton students are on financial aid, while 83 percent of recent graduates graduated with- Jim Baker, left, former White House Chief of Staff under Ronald ReaSee REUNIONS, Page 8 gan and member of the class of 1952, with classmates.

Rapist loses appeal of conviction in local incident By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

A state appeals court last week refused to overturn the conviction of a rapist serving a 25-year-prisonterm for sexually assaulting a woman in a playground in Princeton in 2005. Humberto Gonzalez, through the Public Defender’s Office, argued among other things that his punishment was too severe. But a two-judge appeals

court May 31 declined to throw out his conviction on charges that included kidnapping a then-53-year-old woman, in what became a cold case. The victim, Mary Lessard - who subsequently agreed to have her name publicized after Gonzalez was sentenced - was out for a walk alone May 22, 2005. Gonzalez, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was accused of pushing her to the ground and dragging her

for off a bike path into a fenced-in playground, where the rape occurred for about 20 minutes. She claimed he had brandished a knife. In their ruling, the appeals court judges rejected Gonzalez’s argument that the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office had failed to prove he had moved her a “substantial distance,” one of the reasons he had argued the kidnapping and sexual assault during a kidnapping

conviction should be thrown out. They noted he had dragged her for nearly 80 feet. “Not only was this a ‘substantial distance’ by any reasonably objective standard, defendant isolated his victim by moving her to a more secluded area, thus making it easier for him to complete his assault without being detected. Therefore, we reject defendant’s contention on this point,” the judges wrote.

He was on the run for several years until he was picked up in Texas and convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for an offense there. Sentenced to two years in prison in 2009, he had to give a DNA sample, which matched the DNA from the rape. He was brought back to New Jersey to face charges, rejected plea bargains and went on trial and found guilty in May 2014. He will become parole

eligible in September 2031, according to the state Department of Corrections. Gonzalez, who goes by four other names, is 33, according to the Department of Corrections. But he has indicated he was born in 1987, according to the appeals court ruling. For its part, the Prosecutor’s Office declined to comment on last week’s decision.

Police increase patrols following string of burglaries By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

The Princeton Police Department is stepping up its patrols in various neighborhoods, following a string of car burglaries that have occurred since March. As recently as last

week, an unlocked car was entered and items - a checkbook and $9 in cash - were taken from the vehicle. The owner left the car unlocked while it was parked in the driveway on Princeton-Kingston Road overnight between May 31 and June 1.

Last week’s incident is the latest in a string of car burglaries that have taken place in the past few months, according to the Princeton Police Department. In all instances, the cars were left unlocked. Several unlocked cars

were entered between April 5 and April 6 in the Washington Oaks development, which is off Hutchinson Drive between Route 206 and Mercer Road. And between April 26 and April 27, four unlocked cars were entered while they were parked on Stan-

worth Drive, off Bayard Lane. A fifth car that was parked on Lytle Street also was entered during that time frame. It had been left unlocked. Police advise taking items inside the house or hiding them out of sight in the car, and then locking the

car and taking the keys inside the house. Those actions may make it harder for thieves, who rely on opportunity to commit criminal acts. Any suspicious activity should be reported to the Princeton Police Department immediately.

Princeton still undecided on body cameras for police officers By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton appears to be cooling on the idea of equipping municipal police with body cameras, with a coun-

cilwoman saying Friday the town “still” has not decided whether to use them or not. The comments stand in marked contrast with what the town said more than a year ago in signaling that it was going to do like other communities, amid concerns nationally with police-public interactions. The municipal-

IN YOUR CIVIC INTEREST It is already known that remaining socially engaged helps seniors keep their minds active to help prevent cognitive decline. By participating in social, recreational, and leisure activities, as well as volunteer and group work, older individuals can lower their stress levels and increase their overall levels of well-being. In addition, it has also been found that seniors can promote mental well-being by becoming involved in civil pursuits such as neighborhood watches, environmental groups, voluntary service groups, and other community-based organizations. Research shows that participating in these types of activities helps keep seniors mentally engaged, physically active, and socially involved. Not only do seniors help themselves, but they also help their communities at large. According to several studies, loneliness and social isolation are just as much a threat to longevity as obesity. It can be difﬁcult for older adults to maintain friendships and keep an active social life, but seniors should make an effort to stay connected. To schedule a health assessment, please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-921-8766. I accept Medicare and most insurance. The ofﬁce is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton. Our website, www. drrobertplatzman.com, has more information about our practice. P.S. Another way for seniors to maintain their mental sharpness is to take part in academic classes.

ity even got a $15,000 grant from the state to help pay for buying the necessary equipment. “I think everybody understands the need for them,” Mayor Liz Lempert said in October. But Councilwoman Heather H. Howard, also the town’s police commissioner and member of the public safety committee, said Friday that the municipality is “still considering it” and not made a decision, comments that Mayor Lempert this week echoed. “I would note that we continue to consider them from a budget and policy perspective,” Howard said

in a text message. Howard offered that cameras can play an “important role” in what she called “our ongoing efforts to promote transparency but also recognize the significant costs and policy issues, like ensuring privacy of residents.” Howard had pegged the cost of acquiring the cameras and related equipment at between $200,000 and $250,000. The price tag also includes expenses for storing video data. Mayor Lempert said this week that the town’s public safety committee is “considering” the issue and that the town is “looking” into it.

There is no deadline for making decision about using them or not, she said. “And I think it’s mainly a matter of when the policy issues get worked, in terms of some of the privacy concerns,” she said. On one hand, she said she thinks body cameras likely would be “mandated at some point.” At the same time, she said the devices compete “with other priorities,” in comments suggestive that the cost is an issue. “And we want to make sure that if there’s grant funding available that we do take advantage of that and, again, that we make sure that all of the policy issues

are worked out ahead of time,” she said. Police Chief Nicholas K. Sutter could not be reached for comment. Princeton’s interest in acquiring body cameras grew last year in the aftermath of a traffic stop and subsequent arrest of a black female Princeton University professor in February. She claimed she had been mistreated and injected race into the issue. But the town said the dash-cam video in the officer’s car was critical to exonerating police of any wrongdoing.

Parklet makes its return to Princeton streets By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The two parking spaces in front of Joanne Farrugia and Dean Smith’s toy store in Princeton will be occupied until November by a 40-foot-long structure intended to help build community. It’s called a Parklet, an open-air place with rooms to sit in for drinking coffee, eating lunch, playing chess sitting on tree stumps or reading a library book — all with cars passing by on Palmer Square East. Made of lumber and environmentally friendly building material, it also uses solar, wind and hydro power, including water-powered cell phone chargers.

“This is public space, and I think as a community, we’re making a decision about how we use our public space,” Mayor Liz Lempert said Wednesday at an unveiling of the Parklet, the second one Princeton will have had in two years. “And obviously, parking is important. We know parking is important. But community building is important too.” Parklets are used in other cities to turn parking spaces into community spaces; Princeton had one, on Witherspoon Street, in front of Small World Coffee, in 2015. It was wildly popular, including with Smith and Farrugia, the husband-and-wife team who owns jaZams. “We experienced the last

jaZams owners Dean Smith and Joanne Farrugio at the Parklet outside their store. Parklet, and Joanne and I could regularly be found, up in town, having a cup of coffee in the old Parklet, sitting and talking to folks,” Smith said. “And it was just this space where community was blossoming.” The couple decided they

wanted to play host to the next one. The idea was to have the Parklet, a project run by the Arts Council of Princeton, up last year in front of their store, said Maria Evans, artistic director at the organization. But there was a snag that put the

Parklet on a one-year hiatus. “We couldn’t come up with sponsors very quickly, and I think we got too late a start,” she said. “And so we were kind of scrambling. And vacations were getting in the way and all this stuff.” She said she and Dean and Farruiga met at the end of last summer, with the couple saying the process should start earlier, which it did. But to play host to the Parklet, the couple had to pay the town $2,500 in a sponsorship fee to cover the cost of taking two parking meters out of use during the time the structure is up. The Parklet was a $9,000 to $10,000 project, built with different hands,

including those of Smith and Farrugia. They came to affectionately call the lab on the Princeton University campus where the Parklet was constructed as the “build site.” Parklet version 2, though similar in some respects to the one from two years ago, is different from its predecessor. Local architect Joseph Weiss, the designer, said like with other projects of his, he seeks to draw inspiration from the place and the site. In this case, the sloping street led him to design a series of what he called “cascading rooms that flow down the street, energized by kids and grownups coming to play here.”

Solar panels to be installed at old municipal dump By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Miller and Stephen Westhoven, right, chief operating officer NJR Clean Energy Ventures stand in front of a solar panel that has been installed. By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer The Stony Brook Regional Sewerage Authority will get energy from around 8,000 solar panels that will be installed at the old municipal dump off River Road, even though the Authority will be only saving a fraction on its overall energy bill. Mayor Liz Lempert, ap-

pearing Monday at a groundbreaking, said “we’re making good use of something that otherwise is laying fallow.” In the arrangement, the town is leasing out the land for 15 years so that NJR Clean Energy Ventures can produce the energy that the authority will use when the solar array begins operating later this summer. The first batch of panels started being installed about a month ago, with many more to come as the site will be covered with them. Councilman Bernard P. Miller, who helped shepherd the project from the town’s side of things, said the authority will buy energy at less than its costs buying from the grid, while NJR Clean Energy Ventures will own and operate the solar array.

“It uses a closed municipal dump as the site for a solar array that will provide approximately three megawatts of renewable energy or about twenty-five percent of the peak energy needs of the Stony Brook Regional Sewerage Authority,” Miller said. The authority treats waste water for Princeton and five other towns in the region, an entity with a roughly $15 million budget, with about $4 million of it for energy costs. Using solar energy will save the authority $100,000 a year, said authority chairman Robert A. Bartolini. “This fits in nicely with fiscal responsibility for us,” he said. The project took six years to realize, something the then-former borough and township were inter-

The town turned to GeoPeak Energy, a Somersetbased company, as its contractor to put the project

together, from design and engineering. AJ Javan, a managing partner with GeoPeak, said his company was able to maximize the available space on the land to produce more energy than

first thought, from 1.1 megawatts to nearly three. “Our solution was unique because we doubled the size of what they expected could fit on this entire area,” he said.

‘Magical’ early 17-year cicadas By Michele S. Byers

Remember 2013, when much of New Jersey was abuzz with cicadas? The large red-eyed insects were everywhere, their chorus filled the air, and they left piles of translucent shells beneath big, old trees. Well, they’re back - four years early! Scientists at a May 21 “Bioblitz” at the Mount Rose Preserve in Hopewell Township - an event held to inventory the preserve’s species - were amazed to find cicadas among the insect life. The next brood of 17-year cicadas - Brood 10, or as scientists prefer to call it, Brood X - isn’t due until 2021. So what is happening? New Jersey is not the only place experiencing an early visit from Brood X, last seen in 2004. According to the cicada-tracking websites Cicadamania.com and Magicicada.org, Brood X cicadas are emerging in several Eastern and Midwestern states, including New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York (Long Island), Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. These cicadas are known as “periodical” cicadas, because their life cycles span 13year or 17-year periods, as opposed to annual cicadas that show up every summer. They’re also commonly referred to as 17year locusts. Periodical cicadas that emerge ahead of schedule are called “stragglers.” It’s a bit confusing, since the word usually refers to those lagging behind … and these cicadas are coming out in advance of the main group. When significant numbers of cicadas emerge ahead of the main brood it’s called an acceleration, and the accelerated group sometimes reproduces and creates a whole new brood that follows its own 17-year cycle. Why emerge early? Scientists theorize that a less predictable life cycle improves cicadas’ odds of surviving predators and parasites. It’s too soon to tell if this year’s Brood X stragglers will emerge in large enough numbers to make a new brood - but even if they don’t, their surprise appearance gives us an opportunity to observe one of nature’s wonders. The Latin genus name for these cicadas is Magicicada, and they are indeed magical! Cool cicada facts: • Native to only North America, periodical cicadas are the continent’s longest-lived insect. They come above ground for a sixweek frenzy of mating and laying eggs. • Upon emergence from the ground, cicada nymphs climb the nearest trees and shed their exoskeletons. Free of their old skin, their wings inflate with fluid, their new skin hardens and they’re ready to fly. The shed shells stay behind, clinging to tree trunks and falling to the ground. • Cicadas are best known for the shrill mating chorus of males. Small muscles pull drumlike organs known as tymbals in and out of shape, like a child’s click-toy, and the sound is amplified by the insect’s mostly hollow abdomen. Female cicadas make a less distinctive sound by flicking their wings. • Cicadas don’t eat leaves, but suck the fluids out of small tree branches. • And, yes, you can find cicada recipes on the internet! To find out more about periodical cicadas, go to the Cicadamania website at www.cicadamania.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SHUPP thanks community for continued support

Princetonians should be proud to lead on global warming

To the editor: Four years in Princeton and 82,000 delivered supplemental meals later and Send Hunger Packing Princeton is even more passionate, enthusiastic, creative and driven to continue to grow the program. It started as part of a national movement to provide weekend meals to kids who live in a food insecure home. The requirements to participate were minimal, a simple request to participate was the sole qualification. There were and are three main partners, Princeton Human Services offspring Send Hunger Packing Princeton, Mercer Street Friends and the Princeton School System. And for the same reasons the program started, the program has grown. Today, in addition to the regularly delivered food bags consisting of two kid friendly breakfasts and lunches, SHUPP has expanded the program to better meet the needs of our constituents. We now provide an additional, more robust package of food each month for the whole family. Summer break, which is more logistically challenging, is now a large part of the SHUPP mission. For some kids that means meals throughout the summers Monday through Friday. For others it means the continuation of weekend meal packs. And for those we can reach, it means the addition of fresh produce. Starting this summer, a brand new breakfast program is being launched for the benefit of all kids under the age of 18, a free meal at the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church. This Send Hunger Packing Princeton Initiative could not exist without the generosity of the Princeton Community. Each year, in September, at Hinds Plaza, community members gather to celebrate and raise money to enable the program to not only continue but to grow. This year, as last year, the theme will be Fill the Bowls. The event features the work of local potter, Adam Welch, who will once again create custom bowls for the event. All who participate will receive one. The benefits are clear. No one argues the point that “a child should be hungry for knowledge and not hungry for breakfast.” That’s SHUPP’s mission and thanks to our community, that’s what SHUPP’s been able to do.

To the editor: Princetonians should be proud to accept responsibility for doing as a municipality what the federal government has spurned: the Paris Accords of 2015. “Climate Mayors,” including our Mayor Liz Lempert, are now 187 mayors representing 52 million Americans. They have all stated a commitment to “adopt, honor, and uphold the commitments to the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement.” This group is spearheaded by Mayor Eric Garcetti of California. The governors of California, Washington, and New York have initiated a separate but parallel group - all of them aiming to hold global warming to not more than 1.5 degrees Celsius annually and to reduce carbon emissions annually as well. At least nine states have joined with these cities to resist the follies at the top of the federal heap. These states include Massachusetts, California, Oregon, New York, Colorado, Washington, Connecticut, Virginia, and Rhode Island as, night by night, more officials choose to oppose by bathing their capital buildings in green, as Paris did on the first night of this massive failure for the planet. We ask Princetonians to follow Mayor Lempert’s lead and commitment to slowing the speed of disastrous climate change and global warming. As the noted anthropologist Jane Goodall has recently said, we must have time to invent solutions to the problems we have haplessly made since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. We live in what has been called “the Anthropocene Epoch”: as homo sapiens we have the power to destroy ourselves and everything else on our globe; as Elizabeth Kolbert has written in The Sixth Extinction (2014), no living creature before us has ever had that power. To the fullest extent possible, Princetonians must heed the strictures of the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the World Wildlife Fund, and many other comparable groups in the US. We have great confidence in Mayor Lempert, Princeton Council, and Sustainable Princeton to lead us all in understanding what we must do next, and all the time.

Legislature bails, system fails

The state’s school funding formula and affordable housing are two issues where our elected representatives in Trenton and the NJ courts have failed residents of New Jersey in general and residents of West Windsor in particular. Because West Windsor is considered a wealthy J district, we get the short end of the stick on every issue (all school districts in NJ are divided into groups: A being the poorest to J being the wealthiest). The matter has gained added importance due to the pending affordable housing case in the Mercer County Superior Court. Before the financial crisis in the 2009-10 school year the West Windsor-Plainsboro school district received $11.7 million dollars in state aid. This in spite of the fact that the funding formula devised under Governor Corzine indicated that fair aid for WW-P school district was $21 million. For the upcoming school year 2017-18 WW-P is getting only $8 million dollars in state aid. The taxpayers of our two towns are forced to pick up the difference. As an elected councilman in West Windsor, I have received some subtle and not-so-subtle advice on what West Windsor should do in the affordable housing case. The legislature, developers, lawyers and courts would like to resolve this case quietly with minimum public scrutiny. It will be unfortunate if that happens because some very important issues will never get a fair public hearing and debate. Here is the advice I have received and my reaction to it. • West Windsor must negotiate with the Fair Share Housing Center (FSHC) based on their number of 2200+ housing units as West Windsor’s affordable housing obligation. Even after accounting for our current 1000+ credit for units planned for, it still leaves WW over 1200 new affordable units short of the FSHC number. These units would need to be built in WW beMichele S. Byers is executive director of tween now and 2025. Using the usual ratio of 4 to 1 for market rate the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in to affordable units, it means WW will have to accommodate over 5000 housing units within the next 8 years. Does any reasonable Morristown. person believe that WW can absorb 5000 new houses, apartments and condos in that short period of time? All of West Windsor has less than 10,000 homes today. How can the courts even entertain a number that is so unrealistic? Why does such an unrealistic numwww.princetonpacket.com ber become the starting point for any negotiations? Founded in 1786 • In their ruling, the court can’t consider the impact of developBernard Kilgore, Group Publisher 1955-1967 Mary Louise Kilgore Beilman, Board Chairman 1967-2005 ment on schools and current taxpayers. The developers argue that they can’t afford to build unless they are granted certain goodies by the court. Why can’t West Windsor Mike Morsch Donna Kenyon Regional Editor Executive Editor argue that it can’t afford such a huge tax and infrastructure impact? Why can’t the school district argue that they can’t reasonably acJoseph Eisele Michele Nesbihal commodate any more kids and provide them as thorough an educaPublisher General Manager mnesbihal@centraljersey.com tion as the NJ Constitution demands? Since we have a joint school district and Plainsboro has already settled their case, the added burden on West Windsor would result in a swing of school taxes from 145 Witherspoon Street Princeton, N.J. 08542 Plainsboro to West Windsor to the tune of at least 7%. This is in adCorporate Offices dition to the higher taxes resulting from new development. 198 Route 9 North, Suite 100 Manalapan, N.J. 07726 How can the system justify sacrificing existing taxpayers in © Packet Media, LLC. 2017.

FAX (609) 924-3842 (Editorial) • It’s better to settle than fight in court. This advice has two aspects. First a court case would be very expensive. If all other towns in Mercer County settle, it would cost West Windsor more than $15,000 a day to fight the case. This ar-

gument itself illustrates what’s wrong with the legal system in the state and the country. The township spent more than $300,000 in legal costs last year on affordable housing litigation. How can the legislation and courts allow the threat of unreasonable court costs to force a township to settle? Sadly, the taxpayers are paying costs on both sides since the Fair Share Housing Center to some extent is funded by the taxpayers. This is totally unfair and should be unconstitutional. Since when do you have to help your opponent with legal costs? Second is a cautionary tale of what happened to West Windsor many years ago in the Toll Brothers litigation and what has happened to South Brunswick in the current round. A judge in Middlesex County imposed an unreasonable burden of affordable housing units on South Brunswick when they tried to fight the Fair Share Housing Center in court. What no one wants to mention is that the judge who granted the judgment after retiring at the end of 2016, appeared in the same court as the developer’s attorney on the first court day of 2017. I am told South Brunswick’s appeal of the judge’s decision will go nowhere. This is as clear a case of conflict of interest as one can find. Do the legislature and courts have no shame in validating the rulings by this judge? Should that biased judge’s ruling set a pattern for all other towns in New Jersey? Is it any wonder that people are losing all faith in government? The Affordable Housing case in front of the courts is truly a test for the legislature and courts on whether the Mt. Laurel decision gives them a blank check to take advantage of towns like West Windsor. As a councilman I have thought long and hard about the issue. It’s my job to protect the long term interests of West Windsor taxpayers. I am especially troubled because West Windsor Township has been one of the good-guys in providing affordable housing even when COAH was dormant. Rather than being rewarded for being good citizens, West Windsor may be taken advantage of simply because of the success of our school district and it’s easier for developers to profit at the expense of West Windsor taxpayers. The fact is that not everyone in West Windsor is well off. Sadly, West Windsor is not poor enough to get any sympathy from Trenton but not rich enough not to really care about paying higher taxes. The fact remains that in his/her own way an average WW taxpayer feels the same financial pressures faced by everyone in New Jersey. However, that taxpayer in West Windsor is being forced to share an unreasonable burden on every issue simply for the reality of living in West Windsor. Under the guise of helping the poor, and with an assist from the courts, the developers may be able to ram imprudent developments down West Windsor’s throat. I predict it will be a short term victory that will lead to long term pain as the township will be unable to absorb all development that the “fair share” people and the developers want. Mercer County Superior Court has a unique opportunity to do the right thing and set an example for the rest of the counties in New Jersey. As an elected representative, I pledge to do what I believe is in the best interest of West Windsor taxpayers in the long run. This opinion piece is an attempt to start the discussion and an appeal to the legislature and courts not to put so many burdens on one township that the people revolt and say enough is enough. Hemant Marathe has been a West Windsor council member from 2013-2017.

fore 10:30 a.m. signaled the processional of students and others was about to begin. One of the tallest members of the processional was National Basketball Association legend Kareem AbdulJabbar, who came to receive an honorary doctorate. At 7 feet 2 inches, he took his seat, wearing an academic gown, in the front row of the platform. When his name was announced, he received a loud ovation, just as if he were back in the Forum playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, where he spent most of 20-year-career. Graduating seniors entered Princeton four years as part of a select group of students who got into one of the most selective universities in the country. At the time in 2013, the admission rate of 7.29 percent, was a

then-record low. Jin Yun Chow, the class valedictorian from Hong Kong, referred to her and fellow classmates as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;indomitable class of 2017.â&#x20AC;? But in her remarks, she urged her fellow classmates to consider the â&#x20AC;&#x153;unsung heroes.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the people in our lives whose names we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know and whose lives we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always stop and recognize,â&#x20AC;? she said. Later, she urged her classmates to â&#x20AC;&#x153;slow downâ&#x20AC;? in life and â&#x20AC;&#x153;give genuine human interaction a chance to bloom amid our overpacked schedules.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ask,â&#x20AC;? she continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that we give thanks to the unsung heroes who did what they did without expecting our gratitude. It is often in these unexpected moments that confessions are at their truest, that genuineness is at its rawest and empathy at its purest.â&#x20AC;?

Postmenopausal women may find that they are more vulnerable to gum disease and tooth loss as a consequence of falling estrogen levels during menopause. As declining hormone levels increase (post) menopausal womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of developing the bone-thinning disease known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;osteoporosis,â&#x20AC;? decreasing bone density in the jaw bones gives rise to a higher likelihood of tooth loss. While regular dental treatments can help maintain the health of a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth and gums, new research points to a way of addressing the underlying problem. According to a study of nearly 500 women between the ages of 50 and 87 years, estrogen therapy for a minimum of six months helped reduce their risk of severe periodontitis by 44 percent. Your overall health is

affected by the health of your gums.Â Gum diseaseÂ not only leads to bone and tooth loss, but it has also been shown to worsen other systemic health issues like heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer.

to what kind of family you’re born, if you’re talented and you work hard, you ought to be able to succeed and you ought to be able to get a great college education, and that’s what this effort reflects,” he said. Eisgruber, a Princeton alumnus dressed in his orange and black stripped jacket from his 25th reunion, spoke for roughly an hour to a friendly audience, one that likely would be expected to help foot the bill of any new construction through charitable giving to the university. As the 20th president in

university history, Eisgruber, 55, has been leading Nassau Hall since the middle of 2013. In that time, he often has used his public remarks to emphasize the value of a liberal arts education. Yet he sought to downplay the school’s top ranking by U.S. News & World Report, in which he said the ranking is a result of an “arbitrary formula.” He later talked of some of the steps Princeton took to oppose the Trump administration’s travel ban on people from a group of mostly Muslim countries. He said

about 30 percent of Princeton faculty are foreign citizens and 40 percent of Princeton graduate students come from outside the United States. “Virtually everybody on the campus is affected indirectly and two degrees of separation to somebody who’s specifically affected by the travel ban put into place,” he said. “And we remain dedicated to promoting the free flow of scholars and ideas across international boundaries. We think it’s critical to what we do as a university.” He later touched on free

speech at colleges, at a time when conservatives speakers find themselves being silenced. He joked that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a Princeton alumnus back for his 25th reunion, was “stealing my audience” appearing at an event on campus at the same time as Eisgruber. “So one of the most important things that we have to do as a university is provide a forum for free speech and academic freedom,” he said. “And we are failing if we don’t have multiple contending views representing the division of opinion in America right now.”

MONTGOMERY

Township to host teen nicotine addiciton forum By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Having made Montgomery Township residents aware of opioid addiction, a community forum on nicotine addiction has been set for June 14 at the Montgomery Township Municipal Building on Route 206. “A Cloud Over Our Youth,” which is the theme of the forum, starts at 7 p.m. and will be held in the courtroom. It aims to start a community conversation about young people’s use of e-cigarettes — which many youths view as a safe alternative to tobacco cigarettes — and what to do about it. “The number of youths experimenting with candyflavored e-cigarettes is increasing at an alarming rate,” said Health Officer

Stephanie Carey of the Montgomery Township Health Department, which is sponsoring the forum. “In New Jersey, the decisions as to what to do about this problem are delegated to the municipal level,” Carey said. “We want to be proactive and collaborate with the community in combating this unhealthy trend.” At the community forum, guest speakers will discuss policy options to protect young people and which policies would be a good fit for Montgomery Township, Carey said. In addition to Carey, speakers at the forum will include Princeton Health Officer Jeffrey Grosser, who will share Princeton’s recent experience with the issue, and Devangi Patel of the Montgomery/Rocky Hill

Municipal Alliance. Karen Blumenfeld of NJGASP, which is a nonprofit group that educates the public on the benefits of smoke-free and tobaccofree living, will discuss policy options for tobacco and e-cigarette control. The Montgomery Township public school district will send a representative to the forum, and Girl Scouts from Troops 60015 and 60033 will present a public service video - “Are You Smarter than a Tobacco Company” - that they created. The nicotine forum follows on the heels of another forum — “In the Blink of An Eye” — held in April that focused on opioid addiction, which has been growing rapidly among young people.

Fireworks event to highlight early holiday celebration By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Fireworks will fill the skies over Montgomery High School on June 29, as Montgomery Township residents get together to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday, albeit a few days early. The event kicks off at 6 p.m. on the front lawn of Montgomery High School on Route 601/The Great Road. There will be games and activities for children. There will be an assortment of food - hot dogs,

hamburgers, grilled chicken and pizza - provided by food vendors. Kettle corn and funnel cakes will be available, too. More entertainment will be provided by the John Oakes Band, which plays popular hits. The band will begin playing at 7 p.m. on the stage. The first fireworks shells are expected to go off at 9:15 p.m. “As always, this is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, honor the nation and enjoy a night out with family and friends,” Mayor Ed

Trzaska said. The revenue to support the $12,500 fireworks show comes from donations from corporations, businesses and individuals, plus vendors and parking passes. The VIP parking passes, which cost $15 per space, entitle the purchaser to park in the parking lot in front of Montgomery High School. Montgomery Township does not budget for the fireworks show, except to pay for overtime for the police and the Department of Public Works employees.

WATERSHED MATTERS

Jim Waltman

Princeton poised to act on flooding, polluted runoff With the federal government threatening to roll back protections for our water, air and land, it’s critical that local governments do all that they can to protect our environment. Princeton’s town council is poised to take an important step by considering a strong new measure to address flooding and polluted stormwater runoff—two of the region’s most pressing environmental challenges. These two problems will only get worse across our region as the climate changes, unless communities take bold action. The council will hold a hearing and vote on the proposed ordinance at its June 12 meeting. We encourage interested residents to come to the meeting and speak out in favor of the measure. The backdrop for Princeton’s action is pretty bleak. The President has decided to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord, turning away from a global consensus on the issue and aligning our country with only two nations who are not parties to the climate agreement:

Syria and Nicaragua. The climate action follows other environmental reversals by the administration, including repeal of an EPA rule that sought to protect the nation’s streams from pollution caused by coal mining waste (nicknamed the “Clean Streams Rule”). The administration has also indicated its intention to repeal a separate rule that was created to ensure greater protection for the nation’s streams and wetlands (the so-called “Clean Water Rule”). Fortunately, moves by the new administration to weaken federal environmental protections can be at least partially offset by strong action by municipalities. Decades ago, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency allowed the state of New Jersey to implement many of our federal environmental laws. In doing so, the state then in turn authorized local governments to adopt stronger measures than the state or federal rules. Princeton is using that authority to adopt a strong new stormwater ordinance.

While industrial pollution is much less of an issue than in was 50 years ago, most of New Jersey’s streams still fail to meet all of the state’s water quality standards. The major source of contamination is polluted stormwater runoff, which is tainted by the pesticides and fertilizers we spread on our lawns, and petroleum and antifreeze that spill from our cars. Leaks from failing septic systems and broken sewer pipes, waste from our pets, soap from washing our cars, and road salt we spread on our driveways and sidewalks add to the problem. When it rains, this witches brew of pollutants wash over our lawns, driveways, parking lots and streets as “polluted stormwater runoff.” In most cases, the polluted runoff flows into storm drains, then through a series of underground pipes that carry the runoff directly to local streams. For most of us, these polluted streams are a source of our drinking water. The problem is being exacerbated by the steady march of black top, con-

crete, roof tops and other hard surfaces that are impervious to water. With fewer unpaved areas to filter the polluted runoff and allow it to percolate down into the ground, there is more polluted runoff rushing into our streams and, consequently, more flooding. These “impervious surfaces” also rob our groundwater; because less water is sinking into the ground, our ground water supplies are not replenished as much as they once were. Princeton’s new ordinance would require more aggressive action to address the runoff caused by construction activities, for example when modest homes are levelled and replaced with much larger ones. So if you are upset by action in Washington, commit yourself to engaging with your local government to ensure that it is doing all that it can to protect the environment. I hope you’ll join us at the Princeton Council meeting on June 12 at 7:00 pm. Jim Waltman is the Executive Director of the Stony Brook-Millstone Wa-

WHAT’S UP

RESULTS MHS lacrosse The Montgomery High boys lacrosse team was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Tournament of Champions with a 9-4 loss to Pingry last Saturday. Nico Ipeker scored three goals in the loss for the Cougars, who finished the season with a 17-6 record. Montgomery reached the TOC by capturing the state Group IV title with a 7-5 win over Ridgewood. Dan Engels scored three goals and Ipeker added a pair in the win for the Cougars. Noah Lin made five saves to earn the win in goal.

MHS softball The Montgomery High softball team saw its season come to an end with a 2-0 loss to Egg Harbor in the semifinals of the state Group IV tournament. Julia Loffredo had three of the Cougars’ five hits in the loss. Peyton Schnackenberger tossed a three-hitter and struck out five in the loss. Montgomery, which had defeated Old Bridge, 1-0, to win the Central Jersey Group IV title, finished the season with a 24-3 record.

MHS tennis is perfect champion By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The Montgomery High boys tennis team left absolutely no doubt which team was the best in New Jersey this season. The Cougars completed a dominating run through the Tournament of Champions with a 5-0 win over Newark Academy in the championship match. Montgomery, which did not lose a set in either of its TOC matches, finished the season with perfect 22-0 record. After holding off West Windsor-Plainsboro South for a 3-2 win in the Central Jersey Group IV final, the Cougars posted four straight wins to capture the Group IV title and the TOC title. The match against the Pirates proved to be the toughest in the title runs for Montgomery. “We knew that things would get easier after going through West Windsor-Plainsboro South and then Westfield in the Group 4 tournament,” Montgomery coach Raheel Saleem said. “Those were two heavyweights. After those matches we had to stay focused because we knew every match the rest of the way would be a battle. “Mentally, we were right there. We were taking it one match at a time and knew the matches would be tough. In the conversations I had with the guys we knew originally they had circled West Windsor-Plainsboro South on the calendar. That was a main one and then from there we took it one match at a time. West WindsorPlainsboro South is such a fantastic team, especially with Matthew Michibata back in for sectional final.” The Cougars topped WW-P South, 3-2, in the sectional final and then defeated Westfield, 4-1, in the Group IV semifinals. They topped Livingston, 5-0, to win the

Group IV crown and Delbarton, 50, in the TOC semifinals. “We figured we would have some battles and know Westfield and how they played,” Saleem said. “After our match with West Windsor-Plainsboro South the guys were exhausted. We had a good win against Westfield and carried that over into the win against Livingston.” In the TOC final against Newark Academy, the Cougars swept the singles behind wins from Vishnu Joshi, Ishaan Ravichander and Mark Fridman. The doubles just kept on winning as they have all season as Chris Guo and James Hopper won at first doubles, while Liam Lynch and Phillip Szkudlarski won at second doubles. “After we won the TOC, I just sat down and watched them celebrate,” Saleem said. “Seeing how

Jeff Kampersal The long-time Princeton University women’s ice hockey coach has been named the new head coach at Penn State University. Kampersal, a Princeton University graduate, coached the Tigers for the past 21 seasons. While at Princeton, Kampersal won 327 games to become the program’s all-time winningest coach. A four-time ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year and twotime Ivy League Coach of the Year, Kampersal guided the Tigers to two NCAA Tournament appearances and two Ivy League titles.

Madison Beer The Montgomery High graduate became the first player in the history of the Kutztown University women’s golf program to be named a three-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference selection, earning the honor for the third straight year to close out her career. Beer held a career-best average of 81.1 this season, second-best in school history, to close her career with the second-best career average in school history at 83.2. Beer, a senior, has finished in the top-10 at the PSAC Championships three times in her career. She has carded the second-best par-70 and par-71 rounds in KU history, and is tied for the third-best par-72 round. She also shot the second-best 36-hole total in KU history on a par-71 course.

took each match as it came along and wound up perfect. “Something that talking with last year’s team we realized was one of the biggest things looking so far into the future and what they could accomplish,” Saleem said. “What we have learned winning the TOC for the first time is you could have a great team but if you don’t have the heart and fight to get there it doesn’t happen. You have to be modest and humble and understand everything is going to be a fight. “A lot of teams trying for the same goal. Our guys stayed grounded and understand that at any point one of these teams could beat us. We talked about sometimes not being at your best but true champions can win even when they’re not at their best. Regardless of how strong the opponent was we could do that.”

happy they were is the best feeling I have had as a coach. All the long hours and hard work the guys put in, you see it all come together.” The Cougars challenged themselves early in the season against some top competition and were as prepared as any team could be for the tough matches down the stretch. “We played the Delbarton tournament the past two years and we look at that as a TOC setting with all the best teams playing in that tournament,” Saleem said. “So we’re playing Newark Academy and West Windsor-Plainsboro South and watching the other teams. We knew we could plan accordingly to work at it with the guys to get ready. So we were confident.” And throughout their perfect season, the Cougars never got too far ahead of themselves. They

Stuart Country Day School junior Michelle Kwafo won two individual titles and also earned a first-place finish in the the 4x100-meter relay at the recent state Prep B championship meet, which was held at Newark Academy.

Kwafo’s three wins lead Stuart at Prep B track By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Stuart Country Day School’s Track and Field team had a recordbreaking performance at the state Prep B Track and Field Championship Meet, which was held on at Newark Academy. Junior Michelle Kwafo from Ewing led the team with 36 points, setting a school record for the most points scored by one athlete at a track and field competition. Kwafo earned state championship titles in both 100-meter dash and 100-meter hurdle events, while also placing third in long jump. She earned another gold

medal as a member of Stuart’s championship 4x100-meter relay team. Junior Kendra Brenya, sophomore Priscilla Francois and freshman Jasmine Hansford rounded out the first place 4x100 relay team. Additionally, Hansford took first place in the triple jump and sophomore Bey-Shana Clark earned first place in the shot put. “I’m so proud of Michelle and the entire track and field team,” Stuart coach Len Klepack said. “That we placed in the top three in 10 out of 14 events is evidence of the team‘s depth and breadth. With many talented students returning ext year, the future is bright for Stuart track and field.”

The Montgomery High track and field team came away from the state Group IV meet with plenty to be happy about. The Cougars will be sending a strong contingent of athletes to Saturday’s Meet of Champions at Northern Burlington High School. On the boys side, Ryan Cashman earned a TOC berth with a sixthplace finish in the triple jump. Cashman’s effort of 44-feet, 8inches landed him a spot in the TOC, while Tobi Sonaike earned a wild card into the TOC with a 445 effort in the same event. The Cougars also earned a wild card with an eighth-place finish from the 4x100-meter relay team of Rydell Johnson, Alex Liu, Malachi Clemons and Cashman. For the girls, Abrianna Barrett is heading to the MOC after finishing third in the high jump with a 5-foot, 4-inch effort. Two Cougars, Sarah McGowen and Gianna Tedeschi, just missed out on wild cards with strong efforts in the 3,200 meters. “We are in a group that usually gets a lot of the wild card spots because there is so much depth in Group 4,” Montgomery boys coach Sean Carty said. “We are glad the guys will get one more opportunity to compete. With each of our guys competing, I felt like they had a good opportunity to advance.” Cashman, who excels in a number of events, made huge strides this season in the triple jump, an event he just picked up this spring. “Ryan picked it up in March and it was pretty much all Ryan and his hard work,” Carty said. “He said he wanted to try it and I said he’d be good at it. It was very impressive what he did in the

event this year. He has been such a great example for us. He does everything we ask him to do. He has such a good feel for that event.” Sonaike advanced in the triple jump as well, while Carty was very happy to see the Cougars advance in the 4x100 relay. “I am happy for Tobi,” Carty said. “He has preformed well in some big meets. He scored points in the (Skyland) conference meet. He had his best jump of the year in and it came on his third jump. He’s been up above 43 a few times so it was nice to see him get up over 44. “And I am very happy for the 4x1. Those guys work hard. and I am glad Malachi Clemons got a chance to get out and compete in the Meet of Champs. It’s nice for our young guys and nice for him to get there as a senior.” Barrett is just a sophomore and has big days ahead of her on the track. “It was great for Abrianna to compete at this level,” Montgomery girls coach Tim Bartholomew said. “We’re very happy. She has had some really great meets this year. At the (Somerset) county meet she cleared 510 and she’s had a couple other strong ones. But none like that. That was a great moment and great accomplishment. It’s always tough to replicate a performance like that but I am confident she will. She is only a sophomore.” The Cougars were close to advancing two girls in the 3,200 and were also close in the 4x400 relay., where Montgomery ran a 4:00.44. “We are always trying to get better and grow as a team,” Bartholomew said. “This year we had a lot of great seniors who will be difficult to replace. But the nice part of our program is just when you think the cupboard is empty, someone steps up and surprises you.”

Princeton’s Will Hare takes his place with the state’s top runners By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Will Hare knew the competition at the state Group IV track and field meet would be tough. But the Princeton High junior also knew he was prepared to be part of the group that made the competition tough. Hare finished fifth in the 1,600 meters at the Group IV meet last weekend at Egg Harbor, covering the distance in 4:17.66 and finishing less than half a second away from third place. The performance landed him a spot in the Meet of Champions, while he also helped the 4x800 relay to a

seventh-place finish that was good enough to earn a wild card berth into the Meet of Champions. Hare is part of a solid PHS contingent that will compete in the Meet of Champions on Saturday at Northern Burlington High School. Alex Roth finished second in the 3,200, Paul Brennan was third in the discus, and Nils Wildberg was sixth in the long jump to earn spots at the MOC. Simon Schenk earned a wild card with his seventhplace finish in the pole vault, while Varun Narayan also earned a wild card with an eighth-place finish in the long jump. The 4x800 relay of Nicholas Delaney, Jack-

son McCarthy, Roth and Hare also earned a wild card with a seventh-place finish. For Hare, earning a trip to the MOC caps off a junior year that started with a Meet of Champions team title in cross country and has been solid all season long. “I didn’t think I would end up doing the 1,600,” Hare said. “Going into Groups I wanted to triple because I had not had a fast 1,600 this year. Obviously, running the 4x800 was a no-brainer. The idea of being on a relay and going to state championship is always something as a runner you want to be able to ac-

complish. And the 3,200, I thought my race left something to be desired. But that’s a product of doing eight race in three weeks and that takes a toll on your body I just didn’t have it that day. “I was pleased with the 1,600 and there is a level of excitement running it the Meet of Champions because I know how fast they can go and I am excited to go out and run with the top guys and best runners in New Jersey.” Hare has certainly established himself as someone who belongs in the top group of runners in the state. He competed with the best in the state in the 1,600

and 3,200 and earned a spot in the MOC in the 1,600. “I finished fifth and was happy with the time and effort,” Hare said. “I think I can go faster. The school record is 4:14 and change. Obviously that would be awesome to get knowing how many great runners were here in the 70s and 80s. That is the No. 1 goal. There are so many guys in the state who are very talented runners. “I have been learning from Roth. I have had conversations with him and I have learned from him that there is nobody who, when you toe the line, you should look at and say I can’t beat that guy. Everyone is beat-

able, especially in a race like the 1,600. Anyone can have an great day. I am exited to go out and show a little more speed and see if I can get my fastest time.” Hare just missed out on a spot in the 3,200, where he would have joined Roth in another race together. “Roth and I have accompanied each other on running journey over the last two years,” Hare said. “It just hit me recently that it is coming to a close. This will be our last MOC together. “We’ll run the 4x800 together and hopefully medal. Hopefully we can close out with some good performances.”

Ron Dante of the Archies is joining this year’s ‘Happy Together’ tour By Mike Morsch

on Dante walked into RCA Studios in New York City and there sat producer and songwriter Jeff Barry, who was just completing the rhythm track for a song on which he had worked long and hard on, especially the bass part and the acoustic guitar sound. “I remember thinking, ‘This has a great feel, the sound of it.’ I sensed that Jeff was working longer on this rhythm track than he did on all the other rhythm tracks,” Dante says. “So my first instinct was, this is a cool song. And then he sang it to me. He said, ‘This is what you’ll be singing, here’s the lead.’ Of course I learned it in like two minutes because it was so memorable.” It was 1969, and the song was “Sugar, Sugar,” cowritten by Barry and Andy Kim. It was to be recorded by the Archies, a band formed by a group of fictional teenagers in the Saturday morning television cartoon series, “The Archie Show,” featuring the characters from the “Archie” comics. Dante was to be the lead singer of the Archies and the lead vocalist on “Sugar, Sugar.” “I was very impressed by the song and I was impressed with the production right away,” Dante says. “I knew that this was something a little different than many other tracks we were doing for the TV show. I worked hard on the vocal. I wanted it to be a cool sound and Jeff let me do that. And when I heard the playback, it sounded really good and I was very happy.” What happened next was about to make both Dante and Barry even happier. “Sugar, Sugar” went to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in September 1969, as well as to the top of the charts in the United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Norway and Spain. It would end up being the No. 1 song on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1969, ahead of “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In” by the 5th Dimension, “I Can’t Get Next to You” by the Temptations, “Honky Tonk Women” by the Rolling Stones and “Everyday People” by Sly and the Family Stone. “I went crazy,” says Dante of the song making it to No. 1. “I was a young man and as a singer, you want to be part of a big hit property and that’s what I was.” More than 45 years later, Dante will again be singing “Sugar, Sugar” as one of the featured performers on the Happy Together Tour 2017, which will kick off June 9 in Biloxi, Mississippi and will make two area stops early in the run: June 13, at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown; and June 14, at the State Theatre in New Brunswick. Also on the tour will be its originators, The Turtles featuring Flo and Eddie — Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman — who have sold more than 40 million records worldwide with the hits “Happy Together,” “She’d Rather Be With Me,” “Elenore,” “It Ain’t Me Babe” and “You Showed Me.” The lineup also includes the Association with its hits “Windy,” “Cherish” and “Never My Love”;

Chuck Negron, formerly of Three Dog Night, which had hits with “Joy to the World,” “Mama Told Me Not to Come” and “Old-Fashioned Love Song”; the Cowsills, the original family singing group that was the inspiration for the television show “The Partridge Family” with hits “The Rain, The Park and Other Things,” “Hair” and “Indian Lake”; and the Box Tops with hits “The Letter,” “Cry Like A Baby” and “Soul Deep.” “It’s so cool, all the hits all night, which is great,” Dante says. “They’ve been threatening to put me on the tour for years and finally it came around to where my schedule allowed it. And I jumped at the chance.” The Happy Together Tour — with Kaylan and Volman of the Turtles as the inspiration and headliners — first embarked in 1985 and included the Grassroots, the Buckinghams and Gary Lewis and the Playboys as the featured artists. Over the years, the lineup has changed several times, with the Turtles being the one constant. “It’s my first time on this tour and we’re going to almost 50 cities,” Dante says. “There will be a lot of camaraderie. We’re going to be traveling together, getting to know each other better. This is going to be a good time and I couldn’t be happier. These guys are great. Everybody has a backstory too.” Dante, who was singing jingles in commercials when “Sugar, Sugar” became the No. 1 record in the country, would go on to even more success in the 1970s. It was during one of those jingles gigs that he met a young Barry Manilow, who was also writing and singing jingles in commercials and producing and arranging for Bette Midler. “I remember Barry saying to me, ‘Would you like to listen to some of my songs? I’m working with this girl Bette Midler, but I really want to be a singer, I want to be the artist, not the arranger and producer. Could you produce for me?’” Dante recalls. Dante and Manilow would end up co-producing Manilow’s albums from his debut “Barry Manilow” in 1973 through “Barry” in 1980, a span that produced three No. 1 singles — “Mandy,” “I Write the Songs,” “Looks Like We Made It” — and several Top 10 hits. “It was the golden age of songwriting, arranging and singing,” Dante says. “I am constantly grateful

MUSIC By Anthony Stoeckert

Hear Those VOICES Sing Lyn Ransom will conduct her final concert of the chorus she founded 30 years ago

s Lyn Ransom was putting together the program for her final concert as conductor of VOICES chorale, there was one piece she knew was going to include — the Brahms Requiem. “I’ve just loved this piece and I’ve identified with it,” Ransom says. “It’s deeply spiritually based in me, and it’s also the favorite of many, many singers. VOICES has performed this, every 10 years, just by chance but it turned out to be cyclical.”

“At first I thought it was just too dense and too hard to understand, and I much preferred Mozart or Samuel Barber or even Stravinsky because there was more space in the music. But Brahms’ music is so tightly constructed, so beautifully composed, that it takes a while for your whole being to sink into what he’s doing and understand it at a deep level. “When I was in graduate school I could not tell the difference between Brahms and Dvorak, they would give you drop the needle tests, and I couldn’t tell,” Ransom says. “They were both very melodic, they both had sections of calm and sections of passion, and I just couldn’t tell the difference. But now I really identify with the beauty of Brahms and his orchestration — his use of the French horns and the brass instruments and the flute and English horn and oboe and all the strings. he’s a fabulous orchestrator as well.” During the concert, Voices also will sing Randall Thompson’s “Frostiana.” “I wanted something in English. It’s intense to work on the Brahms Requiem, and I wanted something to give a little lightness to the concert and give a little lightness to the Lyn Ransom is wrapping up 30 years as the direc- singers’ rehearsal times.” The 1959 piece premiered in tor of VOICES with a concert featuring the Brahms Amherst, Massachusetts.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;An Inspector Callsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ActorsNET of Bucks County presents a powerful drama about a family whose secrets are exposed

n Inspector Callsâ&#x20AC;? spends a lot of time with the title character asking questions of the other characters. This typically isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my favorite format for a play, but that may be because I had never seen it done with the tension and drama that ActorsNET of Bucks County brings to its stellar production of J.B. Priestleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1945 play. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a mystery, but it looks like one. The play, at the Heritage Center Theatre in Morrisville, Pennsylvania through June 18, is set in an English industrial city. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1912 and the Birling family is gathered for dinner. Arthur (George Hartpence), is the patriarch, and a successful businessman who speaks of the virtues of capitalism. He is positive that war is not in Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Arthur is thrilled at the news that his daughter Sheila (Tammy Goldberg) is engaged to Gerald Croft (Tom Swain). Croft is just the kind of son-in-law heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wanted and Sheila is overjoyed when Gerald gives her a ring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I really feel engaged,â&#x20AC;? she says. Also celebrating are Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Sybil (Carol Thompson) and their son Eric (Tom Smith). There is a slight issue in that Geraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is of higher stature, but Arthurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credentials are pretty good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Lord Mayor, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the benchâ&#x20AC;? and may be in line for a knighthood. The festivities are interrupted by Inspector Goole (Mort Paterson). Arthur assumes it has something to do with the bench, but this inspector brings disturbing news. A woman with multiple names, including Eva Smith, has killed herself by drinking disinfectant, and she left behind evidence that connects her to the family members. Goole starts with Arthur, who fired Smith a year and a half ago because of her involvement with a labor movement. Arthur dismisses the connection, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way this woman killed herself over something he did 18 months ago. Goole isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convinced; it could have been the first step. We then find out Sheila recently had Eva

fired from her job in a store because she dared to mock Sheila. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also unveiled that Eva had more than one name, and her interactions with the other members of the family get more and more personal, and consequential. Goole isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out for facts that can lead to an arrest, his is a higher calling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeking the truth. Actually, he seems to know the truth, his mission is that those responsible for this young womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death understand what they did. Goole himself is a mystery. How can he know the things he knows? After he leaves, the family members suspect heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fraud, but there is no doubt he has taken Evaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death to heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had been turned down and turned out too many times,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this was the end.â&#x20AC;? This is a play that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work without the right cast, and director James Cordingley has assembled a wonderful group of actors for this production. Paterson is just perfect for the Inspector, he has a lot to say and is judgmental, but never preachy. He is wise and not surprised by what these people have done, but is still human enough to care about the young, dead woman. Hartpence and Thompson do fine work as the parents. Hartpence plays Arthur with a sense of entitlement, even a touch of superiority, but he remains likable, and comes off as a man trying to do best by his family. Thompson is formal, nearly royal, as Sybil, but the veneer is broken when Sybilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in the death is revealed. Goldberg is a standout as Sheila. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tricky character â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a blushing fiance to start, but we see a darker side of her later on. Tom Smith is the troubled Eric, funny and charming at the beginning, but there are hints that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trouble. He is perhaps the one member of this family we end up sympathizing with. Eric plays an important role in the dead womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, and that he truly cared for her is clear, thanks to Smith. Swain plays a key part as the fiance to Sheila. He may have the most to lose in all of this, and his secrets affect the people closest to him, but he keeps his compusure

Mort Paterson and Carol Thompson in â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Inspector Calls.â&#x20AC;? and tries to protect himself and the Birling family. Hartpence and Cordingley designed the set, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrific, a convincing scene for the home of a wealthy family. The production also includes a powerful use of projection. This is a talky play that feels like an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Powerful acting and taught direction will do that.

COVER STORY By Anthony Stoeckert

A World of Pages A mother and daughter teamed up to write a picture book about time and culture

ina Cascone and Bryony Williams Sheppard want to show kids the entire world in just an hour.

The mother and daughter are the co-authors of a picture book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World Right Nowâ&#x20AC;? (Sleeping Bear Press), which uses words and illustrations to tell readers what is going on in each of the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24 times zones at one precise moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we stop in each time zone in a location,â&#x20AC;? Sheppard says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and discuss something that is culturally happening in that area in that time zone at that very moment, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all happening at the exact same time.â&#x20AC;? Cascone lives in Lawrence and has written 30 books, and also has written for film and television. Sheppard, her daughter, lives in Ewing and is a teacher at Princeton Junior School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea came because Bree was saying she wanted to write a picture book, she wanted books for her classroom,â&#x20AC;? Cascone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yeah, yeah, yeah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll write a picture book.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Then my granddaughter became obsessed, for some reason, with time: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What time is it in China right now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What time is in Italy right now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What time is it in London right now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to bed that night and I woke up and I thought, Oh my gosh, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the book,â&#x20AC;? Sheppard says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What time is it right now in China? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening right now in China? So I think a lot of the credit for where this book came from goes to the clever and curious mind of a child.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World Right Now,â&#x20AC;? starts at 6 a.m. in San Francisco, and moves around the world to find out what else is happening at the same exact moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we end up back at San Francisco, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning,â&#x20AC;? Cascone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fact that all around the world at this one moment in time, something wonderful is happening everywhere.â&#x20AC;? For example, in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Times Square, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9 a.m. and everyone is on their way to work. Meanwhile in Madagascar at 4 p.m., a family is picnicking on the Avenue of Baobabs as a lemur tries to steal their food. And at 11 a.m. in Rio de Janeiro, a girl from Ipanema goes walking on the beach. While Sheppard wanted to write a book that could be used in the classroom, she says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also perfect for reading at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think parents would love reading it,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a couple of friends who have been reading it to their kids and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been loving sitting down and reading it. I snuggle up with my kids and read it to them,

Bryony Williams Sheppard and Gina Cascone teamed up to write the new picture book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World Right Now.â&#x20AC;? despite the fact that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard it 1,000 times.â&#x20AC;? The concept did present challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you try to do something simple and easy, you realize how little you know about things,â&#x20AC;? Cascone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so we went around the world, we went down each time zone, and you have to pick a place and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in that place. Well, when we got to 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning we went down the whole time zone and there was nothing there at 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning.â&#x20AC;? Then they focused on the Pacific Ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We panicked for a little bit and then we said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wait, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ocean, the ocean is full of life,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Sheppard says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning, a baby humpback whale is born.â&#x20AC;?

Writing the book required a lot of research, Sheppard says Google became her best friend during the writing process. The authors even called a librarian in Hawaii to find out what might be happening at 4 a.m. there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was so helpful and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Give me some time, can I call you back,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Cascone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sure,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; thinking, Is she really going to call us back? Well, she did. A few hours later she called us back with some suggestions and the one we liked best was that at 4 oclock in the morning, some people in Hawaii get up to go surfing before they go to work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the Dawn Patrol, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting that at 4 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning, something interesting is happening.â&#x20AC;?

SUMMER FUN By Anthony Stoeckert

Ups and Downs at Grounds For Sculpture

rounds For Sculpture’s newest installation is designed to bring out the inner kid in all of us. “Impulse,” is a 42-acre park decorated with 15 giant see-saws. Located at the southern end of Grounds For Sculpture’s Great lawn, the intent of the see-saws is to create a work of art that is an interactive playground. The installation will be open June 11 through July 9, and is part of Grounds For Sculpture’s 25th anniversary celebration of pop-up events. Impulse, which debuted in Montreal in 2015, was created by architect Lola Sheppard and lighting designer Conner Sampson, with sound design by Mitchell Akiyama. “Impulse will add new dimensions of fun for visitors of all ages,” Gary Schneider, executive director of Grounds For Sculpture says. “We’re thrilled to host such a dynamic and interactive art-installation, and to be able to offer our guests that much more reason to visit the sculpture park after dark.” Grounds For Sculpture is hosting various events during the summer. The sculpture park will host a Father’s Day barbecue,

Art meets play at a new pop-up installation of seesaws at Grounds For Sculpture.

will screen “Sister Act” starring Whoopi Goldberg. The series will continue Aug. 10 with a screening of “Ferngully: The Last Rainforest.” Bring a blanket, and enjoy a picnic basket from the Peacock Café or snacks from the Gazebo. Order up a cocktail at Rat’s

Where mothers can bond with their kids Daytop New Jersey at Crawford House opens its new Family Support Center By Rich Fisher Special Writer In its relentless and necessary quest to provide recovering female addicts the chance to live a productive life, Daytop New Jersey at Crawford House in Skillman took another big step on May 23 when it opened its new Family Support Center with an official ribbon cutting. With Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno serving as guest speaker, Daytop NJ at Crawford House opened its newest facility, where mothers can rebuild broken relationships and establish trust with their children and other family members. It serves as a complement to the nearby residential building located over 14 serene acres on Sunset Road in Skillman. The first halfway house in central New Jersey to admit indigent and homeless women exclusively, Crawford House supplies housing and treatment for up to 23 women in early recovery from addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. And while they are able to see their children in the residential area, the Family Support Center allows more one-on-one-time between mother and child. Mothers could see their kids in the residential building, but not in a very personal way. “This just really enhances it,” said James Curtin, president/CEO of Daytop Village, during an interview in the living room area of the FSC prior to the ribbon cutting. “Since [the original facility] is a home where the women live together, they cook and clean and have their therapy there and then they go out to groups and work and have 12-step meetings. This is a place where they can have individual time with their children. There wasn’t really ample space for that over there.” To understand why Daytop NJ at Crawford House and its new FSC is so important is to be presented with some grim facts. Nearly 80 percent of the residents, whose average age is 29, are in for heroin addiction. None are employed, half of them have children, 85 percent have legal issues and 10 percent have no health insurance. Curtin discovered an even more alarming and disturbing statistic while advocating for funding in Washington D.C. “I heard at a congressional briefing, that every 16 minutes in this country somebody dies of an opioid overdose,” he said. “That’s 91 people a day. Last year over 33,000 people died of an opioid overdose, whether it’s heroine or some kind of prescription pain pill. The heroin epidemic that’s sweeping across this country is devastating and it doesn’t discriminate, it affects all walks of life.” The CEO added that five years ago, about half of the Crawford House residents were heroin addicts, and that number was just 10 percent 10 years ago. As of now, the other 20 percent are addicted to alcohol or other drugs, such as cocaine or marijuana. Whatever the issue, the staff at Crawford House is there to educate women about the disease of addiction, help them understand their own addiction and connect them with supportive networks within the recovering community to help them sustain long-term recovery. They work with around 100 residents per year. Residents stay for an average of three and to months. Because of their connections with small area businesses, Crawford House is often able to find some type of jobs for outgoing residents. The staff includes people who are in recovery themselves and others with degrees in counseling or social work. All are passionate in what they do. “You have to be married to the mission,” Curtin said. Crawford House opened in April 1979 and accepted eight residents in a temporary location. Three months later it moved to its current location and capacity increased to 14 soon after. New construction was completed in 2005 and there are now 23 beds. In May, 2014, Daytop Village merged with Crawford House. “[The merger] just allows us to reach and serve more lives, more people, more families,“ said Curtin, who is a 1984 graduate of the Daytop program, referring to himself as a troubled teen who started at age 5. “We can apply our mission effectively to another population. Daytop operates youth residential treatment programs, outpatient treatment programs for both adults and adolescents. And Crawford House is kind of unique in

Crawford House cut the ribbon on its new Family Support Center, May 23. Below, a room in the center where mothers who are staying at Crawford House can spend time with their children. our continuum of care here as a woman’s halfway house. This is a very different level of care.“ It is care designed for women — many of them younger — who go through residential treatment but have no place to go afterward. There is no housing, no supportive environment. They can come to Crawford House provided they are clean for 14 days, and their 12-step program and preparation for the “real world” will continue. “This is really a perfect step for them in a continuum of care,” Curtin said. “A halfway house is really designed for just that — halfway between residential treatment and living independently in the communities. So ideally when the women who go through treatment here are done, they’re living independently, meaning they have a house or an apartment. “Very often it’s difficult for the woman to go out on her own for economical reasons. The economics dictate sometimes they share houses or rent apartments together. So ideally a woman who finishes a program here will be in the community working and sober with housing and continuing on with their 12-step, whether it’s Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous as a support system.” And now, with the Family Support Center, these mothers have an excellent chance at re-entering the community having formed a much stronger relationship with their child. The FSC provides a cozy, somewhat less rigid atmosphere for children to visit with their moms. It includes a kitchen where they can prepare meals together, a TV area to enjoy movies or shows, and a small area to relax and play games, break out coloring books, or just talk in a relaxing environment. “What we wanted was a more private, intimate space for women to visit with their children,” Curtin said. “Many of the women who have children have issues with child protective services. So this is a good place for them to have supervised or unsupervised visits where they can further the emotional bond with their children.

“The vast majority of our mothers here have given up custody or some kind of kinship care, or possibly have had their children taken from them in the saddest of cases due to their addiction. This gives them space in a much more homelike setting to be able to interact with their children while they’re here on treatment. So when they move on to wherever their next phase is, very often it will be in an apartment in a community with a job, and hopefully they’ll have parental visits and much more involvement with their children.” In her sometimes emotional speech at the Family Support Center ribbon cutting, Guadagno talked about how Crawford House not only touches its residents’ lives in a positive manner, but the lives of their families and friends as well. She noted that the facility will allow women to rebuild their families as they learn how to parent and hold their child, and their child learns what it’s like to be held again. “People need to know the value of what goes on in that [residential] building, so they can understand the importance of what will go on in this [new] building,” Guadagno said. “I don’t think you can put a dollar figure on it. For most of the women that are here, they are staring into the darkness and facing the absolute darkest hour of their lives. “Yet from out of the darkness, from out of this sense of despondence, you provide them with hope. You who are here every day and see miracles every day, and oh my God I bet you see disappointments too. The new facility is an example of the light that you provide for all of us. It is simply unacceptable in this state, this country with the wealth that we have that there are not enough beds or services to help all the people who need it. This facility gives us hope.”

The FSC project was made possible by funding from the Robert Wood Johnson 1962 Charitable Trust, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, the Montgomery-Rocky Hill and Hillsborough rotary clubs, Wade and Lee Ann Martin, Mark and Tracey Simon, Amy Karyn Home and a gift in memory of Shirley Martin. The contributions received from public sector sources cannot meet the cost of the entire operation. Curtin noted that Crawford House has an annual budget of $850,000 per year — roughly $130 per day per resident. Around $400,000 comes from public funding, but the other $450,000 is raised from private donations. For those wishing to donate, go to www.daytopnj.org, and click on the on the green box in the upper right hand corner. Specify that your donation goes to Crawford House. “We know that with every one dollar spent on treatment, society can save seven to eight dollars on incarceration, emergency room visits, and unintended health consequences,” Curtin said. “Even people who think, ‘That’s somebody else’s problem,’ there’s an economic reason to address it. If these women were not here, there’s a very good chance a vast majority of them would be incarcerated because of drug addiction. If they’re incarcerated, you and I are paying. From a humanistic standpoint to an economic standpoint it makes sense.” Guadagno summed it up in her speech, saying, “For the hundred women who will come through this building every year, they will walk out on average after four months and go out in the real world and be probably facing the same challenges they faced before. But with the people here, I have no doubt they will have the strength and the tools and the skills that they need to survive.”

Create a safe and enjoyable backyard play area

Homeowners often aspire to have attractive backyards that look like they belong in a magazine. While these can be picturesque and functional for adults, they may not be entirely practical for homeowners who have young children, especially when the majority of the yard is covered with paving stones or concrete. When young children are part of a household, homeowners may benefit by designing yards that are both functional and fun. Incorporating safe play areas for kids is one way to unlock the potential of both

big and small backyards. As children run off to enjoy a playground, safety is the last thing on their minds. Kids are most interested in scaling ladders to treehouses or coasting down slides. That’s why adults must take it upon themselves to keep injury prevention in mind. When considering playground equipment for the yard, parents need to make safety a priority. Follow the “5 S’s of Playground Safety”: Surface: Parents should assume that children will fall. To lessen the blow of falls, choose playground equipment

with a perimeter of six feet of a softer surface, such as sand, pea gravel, rubber pieces or wood chips. This material should be between six and 12 inches deep. Structure: The structure of the play equipment should be built from sturdy materials. Pressure-treated lumber was once the standard, but it’s not adviseable for kids’ playgrounds, as the chemicals used in the lumber can leach and young children may actually bite or pick at the wood. Use cedar or another wood that resists decay. Once the structure

Playsets should be made of sturdy wood. is built, inspect it frequently for damage. Site: Look around the land-

scape for an ideal place to locate the playset. There should be no obstacles that children can hit while sliding or swinging. Avoid overhanging branches and do not place equipment too close to trees or fencing. Try to keep the set out of direct sunlight, which can make components heat up and scald young bodies. Supervision: Do not leave children alone while they are playing. Prevent children from using the playset in an incorrect manner. Safety: Follow the direc-

tions for installation. Make sure all posts are anchored into the ground securely. Railings should be spaced so that children cannot get stuck between them. Check that metal components have not rusted and that there is no additional excessive wear. Be sure that no tools or other dangerous items are left around the yard. Backyard playgrounds should be built with safety in mind. Learn the rules of play equipment and yard safety. — Metro Creative Connection

Kathryn Watterson shares the stories of African-American Princeton

Among the things I admire about author Kathryn “Kitsi” Watterson, a longtime acquaintance of mine, is her distaste for pleated skirts. When she first arrived in Princeton in 1987, she heard about a Princeton authors event at the public library and was told that if she went, the standard clothing uniform for participants was a conservative, pleated skirt. “I actually bought a skirt and hated the way it looked. It was frumpy,” she said to me at a more recent event — a June 1, 2017 Princeton University Reunions panel discussion that focused on her recently published book,” I Hear My People Singing: Voices of African-American Princeton.” Topping the list of things that I admire about Watterson, however, is her extraordinary ability to interview and then communicate in writing other people’s’ stories, a skill abundantly evident in her book. I now live on Quarry Street within the historic black neighborhood with which Watterson has bonded. Since reading the book — an oral history with a soul — I know that my strolls past the churches, homes, store fronts, my friends and neighbors will be forever altered. The book gave me not only 20/20 vision, but also X-ray vision into my immediate surroundings and the Princeton community.

As described by the book’s publisher, Princeton University Press, Watterson tells the stories of more than 50 black residents, and writes about their lives throughout the 20th century. “Their stories show that the roots of Princeton’s African American community are as deeply intertwined with the town and university as they are with the history of the United States, the legacies of slavery, and the nation’s current conversations on race. “Drawn from an oral history collaboration with residents of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, Princeton undergraduates, and their professor, Kathryn Watterson, neighbors speak candidly about Jim Crow segregation, the consequences of school integration, World Wars I and II, and the struggles for equal opportunities and civil rights. Despite three centuries of legal and economic obstacles, African American residents have created a flourishing, ethical, and humane neighborhood in which to raise their children, care for the sick and elderly, worship, stand their ground, and celebrate life.” Once I got past the wonder of the stories and the profound lessons for Princetonians and all Americans, I wondered about the story behind the individual who compiled this treas-

Kathryn Watterson was born in Iowa, raised in Kansas, went to high school and college in Arizona, worked as a reporter in Philadelphia, volunteered for the Peace Corps in Malaysia, taught creative at writing for decades to college students (Princeton University and University of Pennsylvania), and wrote nine books. She also sings and plays percussion with

an improvisational band, The Unity. The fact of the matter is that before Watterson arrived in Princeton in 1987, she had zero connection to the town of Princeton, its Witherspoon neighborhood residents, or Princeton University. “I was living in New York City as a single mother, trying to make it as a freelance writer after moving there for a job that ultimately fell through,”

she said. “The financial challenges of living in New York were too overwhelming, and I knew I was going to have to move. But for child-rearing reasons, I had to remain within a 50-mile radius of the city. I picked Princeton for no reason other than it intuitively seemed to be a place that would be welcoming to a writer, and it had good accessibility to New York and Philadelphia, where I had friends.” Watterson found moderately priced housing in the Jugtown neighborhood of town. She was my neighbor for 15 years, before she moved to Philadelphia to teach at the University of Pennsylvania, and before I moved out of Jugtown to live in the Witherspoon neighborhood. “When I first came to town, I knew no one and yearned for conversation,” Watterson said. “I wrote a column in the Jersey section of The New York Times about how quiet it was in town. I actually started going to The Carousel (the much loved and now defunct breakfast/lunch “townie” establishment on Nassau Street) just to hear voices and stories.” She met Princeton storyteller Susan Danoff, who recommended her for a job in the Princeton University Writing Program. Even though Watterson lacked an advanced degree, the program director recognized the value of her work and fought to get her hired and to keep her employed, said Watterson, who did go on to get her master’s. Without an obvious relationship to the black community in Princeton, Watterson nevertheless felt an intense connection that began as a project in the creative writing class she was teaching. “‘Voices’ took root one summer day in 1999, when I met with two men from the Witherspoon neighborhood for advice about a writing seminar I was planning for students at Princeton University, where I

was a lecturer,” she writes in the book. “The course required my students to volunteer weekly in soup kitchens, crisis centers, rescue missions, homeless shelters, after-school sessions, or other programs, and to write about what they learned. . ..“ The two men were Henry (Hank) Pannell and Clyde (Buster) Thomas, actively engaged a variety of community serving projects, including mentoring children and teenagers, driving older folks to church and to doctor appointments, and working to keep housing affordable for black residents. “We had been talking a while when Hank sat forward, ‘Your poverty course sounds just wonderful,’” Watterson said. “His voice grew louder. ‘But what we want is an oral history of our community.’” Watterson called the moment “magical.” Her writing prior to the Witherspoon neighborhood epiphany was dedicated to giving voice to just causes and the human condition. Even though the Witherspoon project — its scope and complexity — seemed impossible at first, it also was an irresistible magnetic force drawing her into the next chapter of her life as an author. Nell Irvin Painter, historian and author of “The History of White People,” wrote the following review for the publication: “An extraordinary and most necessary book, I Hear My People Singing recasts American history as a whole by presenting in their own words the full lives of black Princetonians, lives forged within the utterly everyday Americanness of enslavement, segregation, and insult. This book is so very welcome, now that we are facing up to the realities of white supremacy in even so admirable a place as Princeton. Thank you, Kathryn Watterson, for letting us hear from these Princetonians so long behind the veil.”

Treatment options for menopause

From hot flashes and night sweats to mood swings and decreased libido, menopause can cause a range of symptoms that can have a significant impact on a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellbeing. It is important that women talk to their gynecologist about menopause and the many options that are available to help manage symptoms as they go through the change of life. Defining menopause Menopause is a natural phase in a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life defined by the absence of a menstrual period for one year. Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop making estrogen, a hormone that controls the menstrual cycle. The average age that women experience menopause is 51, according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. However, in the years leading up to menopause, estrogen levels begin fluctuating, periods become irregular and symptoms may start to occur. Though everyone is different, perimenopause begins on average at age 46. Symptoms vary

Aside from changes in the menstrual cycle, a variety of other symptoms can occur during perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms can be mild to severe and may include: â&#x20AC;˘ Hot flashes. A hot flash is a sudden feeling of heat in the upper part or all of your body. During a hot flash, your face and neck may become flushed and red blotches may appear on your chest, back and arms. Heavy sweating and cold shivering can follow. Most hot flashes last between 30 seconds and 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;˘ Night sweats and sleep disturbances. Night sweats are hot flashes that are strong enough to wake you up from your sleep. In addition, other sleep disturbances like trouble falling or staying asleep may start to occur around midlife. â&#x20AC;˘ Vaginal and urinary tract changes. As estrogen levels decrease, the lining of the vagina may become thinner, drier and less elastic. This could cause discomfort, especially during intercourse and, along with hormone changes, could lead to low sex drive. Related health problems include increase risk for vaginal and urinary tract in-

fections. â&#x20AC;˘ Mood changes. Though there is no concrete scientific link to declining estrogen, women often report increased irritability or moodiness around the time of menopause. Treating menopause symptoms While menopause in and of itself is a natural condition, many women seek treatment to manage their symptoms. Treatment approaches vary depending on the symptoms being targeted and may include: â&#x20AC;˘ Systemic hormone replacement therapy. Systemic hormone replacement therapy has been shown to be the most effective medical treatment for managing hot flashes as well as night sweats and vaginal dryness. Hormone therapy means taking estrogen and progestin together, or estrogen only if you have had a hysterectomy. Taking progestin helps reduce the risk of uterine cancer that is associated with estrogen-only therapy. Hormone therapy comes in many forms including pills, patches, and gels and sprays that are applied to the skin. For women whose only symptom is vaginal dryness, local estrogen therapy in the forms of rings, tablets

or creams may be recommended. While hormone therapy is effective, it does have risks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration suggests that women who want to use hormone therapy to manage menopause symptoms use the lowest dose for the shortest time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. â&#x20AC;˘ Non-hormonal medications. Certain medications that are approved for other uses, such as certain antidepressants and drugs to treat hypertension, have demonstrated a good degree of success in treating hot flashes and other symptoms. â&#x20AC;˘ Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants. Over-thecounter moisturizers and lubricants can relieve vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse. â&#x20AC;˘Phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are estrogenlike substances found in some cereals, vegetables, legumes (including soy) and herbs. Some women report that consuming foods containing phytoestrogens help reduce their symptoms. â&#x20AC;˘ Alternative therapies. Chinese herbal medicine along with acupuncture has been shown to be effective in helping to manage hot flashes.

Staying healthy after menopause After menopause, women are at increased risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Taking steps to reduce your risk for these conditions can help you stay healthy during your postmenopause years. â&#x20AC;˘ Eat a healthy diet, low in fat and high in fiber with plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole-grains. Make sure to include enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet to help keep your bones strong. â&#x20AC;˘ Exercise. Regular exercise slows down bone loss and is good for your overall health. Strength training especially helps to maintain strong bones while aerobic conditioning keeps your heart healthy. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for heart disease and is a risk

factor for osteoporosis. Additionally, smoking can lead to early menopause. If you are considering treatment for menopause symptoms, talk with your gynecologist about an approach that is right for you. Also, make sure to get check-ups regularly. Your gynecologist can help you prepare for the transition to menopause and understand what to expect as your body changes.
