School board winners share similar visions By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

On a Monday night in early October, Beth A. Behrend took her seat in a public school cafeteria with the five other candidates running for Princeton Board of Education, to once again go before voters ahead of the election. At multiple forums like that one or house meetings that supporters had organized for them, the six candidates worked at retail politics to sell themselves to the public. Unlike past years when the school board races might have been an afterthought except for the engaged few, 2017 was a different story. “It was a real election,” said Behrend, the eventual top vote-getter at 3,649 votes, in looking back. “And I learned a ton. It was an amazing opportunity to hear what people had to say in our town.”

Behrend, Jess Deutsch, at 3,429 votes, and former Princeton Township Mayor Michele TuckPonder, at 3,215, on Tuesday won the three seats on the school board. They will assume office in January. Whether it was due to a heightened civic involvement or newfound focus on the school district in the wake of the fight about the Princeton Charter School enrollment expansion, the contest for school board induced a larger than normal field. “We had six people. That shows that there’s a lot of excitement in the community about what the school board is doing,” said school board President Patrick Sullivan. “I think that there was a happy confluence of circumstances this year that motivated more people to run, including, probably, a response to their disappointment

over last year’s presidential election. But I don’t think that’s all of it,” said Andrea Spalla, a former school board president. “I think the rising enrollment and the coming (facilities bond) referendum stoked a level of interest in the community,” she continued. “So I think it’s less about a response to events in the past and it’s more a desire to get involved

and be part of the process going forward that motivated a lot of these people.” “This race marks a positive step forward for the entire community in terms of the level of civic engagement,” said Mia Sacks, who was closely involved in supporting a number of the candidates. “There was a markedly heightened awareness … of issues

and a greater involvement in the political process.” But in a race that observers said had six quality candidates, the outcome was not close. Tuck-Ponder finished more than 700 votes ahead of fourthplace finisher Jenny Ludmer, 2,485 votes, followed by Julie Ramirez at 2,380 and James Fields See WINNERS, Page 11

Yankee by birth, Jersey girl by choice But Karen Jezierny is a governmental pro by her actions By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

With a new governor poised to take office in January, Princeton University will navigate the changing landscape in Trenton with a veteran of state government and higher education who wins accolades from both sides of the political aisle. Karen A. Jezierny is Nassau Hall’s director of public affairs, a self-described “Yankee by birth and disposition” and a “Jersey girl by choice.” She cut her teeth working for the New Jersey As-

sembly majority office in 1982, a year after graduating with a master‘s from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and then bounced back and forth between higher education and state government before settling in at Princeton, where she has spent the past 25 years in different capacities. “Professionally, she’s been great to work with,” said Mayor Liz Lempert in calling Jezierny “practical” and a “problemsolver.” “I feel like she can be a really great partner,” Mayor Lempert said, “especially if there’s issues

with the Department of Transportation, because the university can be very effective. So when our interests are aligned, it’s a good thing for the town to have the university on our side.” Jezierny, who shuns the limelight, declined to be interviewed for this story. But interviews with state lawmakers and others portray her as a talented, straight shooter, who, in the words of one former boss, has a “quiet determination” about her. “As far as governmental affairs and relations go, Karen is one of See JEZIERNY, Page 11

A nonprofit group wants to the renovate the more than 150-yearold home on Witherspoon Street where social activist and entertainer Paul Robeson was born and turn it into a community space and short-term lodging place. The “The Paul Robeson House,” a group made up of residents, including local historian Shirley Satterfield, former Borough Councilman Kevin Wilkes and others, filed plans with the town Oct. 16. The proposal calls for a 500square-foot meeting room, a Robeson memorial gallery to contain Robeson and other memorabilia and two offices and support spaces, all on the first floor. “Short-term lodging” of three bedrooms and a common room would be on the second floor, plans showed. The project has been a goal of community members for years, in a building restoration expected to cost a little less than $1 million. “The overall goal has always been to restore the house and then use it as a permanent memorial to Mr. Robeson,” said Ben Colbert, president of the Paul Robeson House board of directors, by phone Friday. The house originally was owned by the historically black Witherspoon Presbyterian Church, where Robeson’s father, William Drew Robeson, was the pastor

starting in 1880. The Robeson family lived in there, in a home where Paul Robeson was born in April 1898. The church subsequently sold the property and then reacquired it in 2005. With a house as old as this one, there are “structural matters that must be taken into account,” Colbert said. He cited, as an example how some “retaining walls have begun to buckle or deteriorate.” “And now, we have the task of bringing it up to code for permanent use in today’s times,” he said. “And we’re very proud of the fact that we’re going to be able to rehabilitate a house, which reverses the See ROBESON, Page 11

Suspect arrested in Santander Bank robbery By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A Hillsborough Township man has been arrested in connection with the bank robbery at the Santander Bank on Nassau Street two weeks ago, according to the Princeton Police Department. Quentin D. Watson, 50, of Stratford Court, Hillsborough Township, was charged with robbery and

theft in the Oct. 26 incident, police said. Somerset County law enforcement officials also charged him with robbery for two bank robberies in Franklin Township - one in September and one that occurred last week. Princeton Police Department detectives gained information from witnesses that led to the identification of Watson as the alleged bank robber. The informa-

tion was reviewed, along with other information from police departments in Franklin and Hillsborough townships, the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office and the FBI. The joint investigation led to Watson’s arrest in the parking lot of Applebee’s restaurant in Hillsborough Township on Nov. 3, police said. He was arrested without incident. In the Oct. 26 bank rob-

bery at the Santander Bank at 188 Nassau Street, Watson walked into the bank and handed the teller a note, demanding cash. The teller gave him the money and he walked out of the bank, headed toward Park Place. Video surveillance clearly showed Watson’s face. Watson is being held in the Somerset County jail without bail, pending a detention hearing.

NJDOT won’t commit to more crosswalk safety improvements By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

STOMACH CANCER DETECTION

Nearly 28,000 people in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with stomach (gastric) cancer this year, which is difﬁcult to detect because it rarely causes symptoms in its early stages. Consequently, only one in ﬁve cases of stomach cancer in this country are diagnosed before the disease has spread to other parts of the body. Thus, it is especially important to note that new research has resulted in a breath test for stomach cancer, which not only can be used to diagnose the disease, but also can predict whether an individual is at high risk. The technology used to diagnose stomach cancer, “nanoarray analysis,” can detect small changes in gut compounds in a person’s exhaled breath. The treatment options for stomach cancer depend on many factors. The location and the stage (extent of spread) of the tumor are important. In choosing your plan, you and your cancer care team will also take your age, general state of health, and personal preferences into account. To schedule an appointment, please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-921-8766. My practice is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton. Our website, www.drrobertplatzman.com, has more information about the practice. P.S. When stomach cancer does cause symptoms, poor appetite, weight loss, nausea, and abdominal pain are often mistaken for symptoms of other conditions.

The state Department of Transportation offered “condolences” to the family of a woman killed in the crosswalk of Washington Road and Nassau Street by a concrete truck Oct. 10, but the agency stopped short of saying it would install equipment the town wants to make the area safer. The death of Leslie Goodrich Rubin, 62,

prompted the Princeton Council to request, again, that the DOT install “allpedestrian scramble signals” at that intersection of Nassau and Washington/Vandeventer Avenue and at two others on Nassau Street. The technology would hold up all traffic to let pedestrians cross safely. Past requests have been turned down, the town has said. “It is always tragic when a pedestrian is

struck and killed, and the department offers its condolences to the family,” DOT spokesman Dan Triana said in a recent interview. “NJDOT takes the issue of pedestrian safety very seriously and has been working with the mayor and Princeton officials to improve the intersection of Nassau Street and Washington Avenue for many years.” He touched on steps the state had made to that Nas-

sau Street and Washington Road/Vandeventer Avenue intersection last year, including installing “pedestrian countdown signal heads and corresponding signage.” “In making improvements at this location, NJDOT has a responsibility for providing safe pedestrian accommodations while not increasing traffic congestion and gridlock on a critical roadway through town,” he said. “NJDOT

looks forward to continuing to work with the mayor and local officials on this important issue.” For her part, Mayor Liz Lempert called it “imperative” for the town to continue working with the state so the municipality has “infrastructure that supports safety.” “We have a walkable downtown,” she said. “We have hundreds, if not thousands, of pedestrians crossing the streets every day.”

Man asks police for help, gets busted for drugs By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A Newark man who asked the police for help after he locked the keys inside his girlfriend’s car found himself in hot water after the police officers discovered marijuana and alcoholic beverages inside the car, according to the Mont-

gomery Township Police Department. Jeffrey Watkins, 19, of Newark, was charged with possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of alcohol while under the legal age in the Oct. 25 incident, police said. The incident began

when police received a call shortly before 5:30 p.m. Oct. 25 from a motorist Watkins - who had locked the keys inside his girlfriend’s car while it was parked at the ShopRite grocery store parking lot on Route 206. When police arrived, Watkins asked them for help in getting inside the

car. After receiving permission from the owner, the police officers used a lock-out kit to open the car door. As soon as they opened the car door, the police officers smelled an odor of marijuana that was coming from inside the car. They searched the car and found some marijuana, drug paraphernalia and several

bottles of alcoholic beverages. Watkins said the items belonged to him, police said. Watkins was taken to the Montgomery Township Police Department and charged with the offenses, and then released with a pending court date in Montgomery Township Municipal Court.

University, Microsoft file lawsuit over DCCA program By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton University and tech giant Microsoft sued the Trump administration on Friday to protect a federal program that shields from deportation illegal immigrants who were brought to the country as young people. They and Princeton senior Maria Perales, a “Dreamer” who had participated in the Deferred Action for Childhood Ar-

rivals program that the Trump administration announced in September it was rescinding, sued in federal court in Washington D.C. They want a judge to issue an injunction to stop the government from winding down the program, and to declare DACA legal, Also, they asked that government not be allowed to use, for immigration enforcement, any information that Perales and others who had participated in DACA

provided the government. The university and Microsoft say they rely upon DACA, an Obama-era program, and have benefited from it. DACA, a shield from deportation, was aimed at people who came to the country before they were 16 years old and sought to give them the ability to work legally. The university said that since 2012, it has enrolled “at least” 21 dreamers and has 15 of them enrolled

now as undergraduates. The university, which has butted heads with the Trump administration before on immigration, said its DACA recipients “are exceptionally resilient students who have overcome varied, serious life obstacles in the course of achieving great success,” the suit read in part. “Their membership in Princeton’s community helps the university to realize its educational mission.” Meanwhile, Microsoft said it along with its sub-

sidiary LinkedIn Corp. has 45 DACA employees working for them. Perales is active at the university, part of the student group “Princeton DREAM Team,” according to the suit. In an article in the student newspaper last year, she was quoted as denouncing immigration raids by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Trump administration has countered the DACA program was an unconstitutional end-run

around Congress and circumvented immigration laws. In September, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said “the effect of this unilateral executive amnesty, among other things, contributed to a surge of unaccompanied minors on the southern border that yielded terrible humanitarian consequences.” The government is winding down the program, but has given lawmakers time to find a legislative solution.

Speaker sparks free speech controversy at Princeton University By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The national debate about free speech at college campuses surfaced at Princeton University, with the school’s Center for Jewish Life canceling an appearance this week by a pro-Zionist member of the Israeli government amid student backlash. As it turned out, another Jewish organization agreed to be the host of Tzipi Hotovely, a Likud, or conservative party, member of the Israeli parliament and the deputy minister of foreign affairs. Hotovely, touring U.S. colleges, spoke on campus, in the Lewis Library, Monday, with student protesters standing outside the venue. “We believe in free speech,” said Rabbi Eitan Webb, director of the Chabad of Princeton University, the organization that stepped forward to be the host. “This is a person whose voice should be heard.” The controversy about Hotovely’s Princeton visit

drew public attention in a Nov. 5 letter to the editor in the student newspaper, The Daily Princetonian. In it, the Alliance of Jewish Progressives and Allies and others charged that Hotovely has made “racist statements” and faulted the university’s Center for Jewish Life-Princeton Hillel “to host a racist speaker like Hotovely while it continues to quiet progressive voices.” “She has stated her opposition to a Palestinian state and has made it her mission to expand settlement construction in the West Bank,” the letter read in part. “Hotovely’s alarming vision for the future is coupled with a complete rejection of Palestinian history and connection to key sites such as the Haram alSharif.” The Haram al-Sharif is also known as the Temple Mount, a sacred place for Jews and Muslims. In an interview with The Jerusalem Post published last week, Hotovely said, “The university campuses are one of the most difficult

and important arenas, and I come as a representatives of the government and a representative of the ruling party on a journey that will begin the hard work of changing the trend toward Israel on US campuses.” The leader of the campus Jewish organization that was the original host of Hotovely released a statement explaining its decision. “The Center for Jewish Life at Princeton decided to postpone the program with Member of Knesset Tzipi Hotovely until we can properly vet the program through our Israel Advisory Committee,” said Rabbi Julie Roth, executive director of the Center for Jewish Life-Princeton Hillel. “We are fortunate that our colleagues at Chabad agreed to host the program today as originally scheduled and we are encouraging our students who are interested to attend. We regret the lastminute change and apologize to Ms. Hotovely for the inconvenience. We look forward to a continued robust and healthy debate

around Israel in our community.” But in Wednesday’s Jerusalem Post, Roth writing along with Eric D. Fingerhut, president and CEP of Hillel International, apologized for the “mistake.” “Unfortunately, we did not treat the Israeli deputy foreign minister with the respect that her office deserves, and postponed the event,” they wrote. Messages at the Israeli consulate in New York were not returned this week. The controversy about Hotovely’s visit comes amid concerns nationally about the tolerance, or lack thereof, on college campuses for speakers that students disagree with. A notable example involved social scientist Charles Murray and a faculty member being attacked at Middlebury College, in Vermont, earlier this year. “Many people worry about the state of campus speech today, and understandably so,” Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber wrote in the June

7 edition of the Princeton Alumni Magazine. Israel is a hot topic on college campuses, where Princeton has not joined the movement to divest in companies that do business

there. Eisgruber, who is Jewish, visited Israel in 2014 to meet with Princeton alumni and said afterward that the country has “special meaning for me and my family… .”

CATCH-22 FOR DIABETICS Diabetics have every reason to keep their blood sugar under control with medication and healthy habits. One potential complication they face is an increased prevalence of gum disease because they are generally more susceptible to bacterial infection and have a decreased ability to fight invasive bacteria. Complicating the situation even further is emerging research showing that not only are people with diabetes more susceptible to serious gum disease, but serious gum disease may have the potential to affect blood glucose and contribute to the progression of diabetes. To put it simply, the relationship between diabetes and gum disease is a two-way street. Diabetics must be diligent about their brushing and flossing habits, as well as controlling their blood sugar levels. We stay on the leading-edge

of dentistry, keeping up to date on the latest health studies and dental techniques, materials, and therapies to ensure all our patients receive the very best in dental health care. If you are looking for a family dentist who understands the needs of everyone in your family as individuals and patients, we welcome you to stop by Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, and get acquainted. We’re sure you’ll leave with a good feeling about our practice. For an appointment, please call 609924-8300. Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

P.S. Due to their higher susceptibility to serious gum disease, diabetics face a higher risk of bone loss (in the jaws) and subsequent tooth loss.

While bats sleep, scientists hope for their survival By Michele S. Byers

As temperatures cool and daylight hours shorten, New Jersey’s non-migrating bats have gone into hibernation. For the last decade, hibernation for New Jersey’s bats has been unusually precarious. A disease known as white-nose syndrome caused by a fungus - has decimated many bat species by scarring their wings and disrupting hibernation patterns, causing them to wake and fly around when they should be sleeping. After depleting their energy reserves, the bats die from starvation, thirst and exhaustion. The little brown bat is most affected. This once common bat has now lost nearly 99 percent of its population. In 2007, before white-nose syndrome struck, the state’s largest bat cave (or hibernaculum) - the old Hibernia Mine in Morris County - was the winter home for 34,000 little brown bats. Today, the number is down to about 400. But there may be hope. The devastating losses appear to be leveling off. MacKenzie Hall, a biologist with the state’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program, said the year-to-year survival rate for little brown bats is almost back to normal. “They’re still not growing in number, but they’re almost leveling,” she said. Scientific understanding of white-nose syndrome is expanding, due in part to the contrast between the plight of little brown bats and the success of another New Jersey species, big brown bats. Big brown bat numbers are growing, and they seem unaffected by white-nose syndrome. Why? One difference between big browns and little browns is where they hibernate. Many big brown bats hibernate in cold, dry attics instead of caves, reducing their exposure to the warmer temperatures and higher humidity found inside caves and abandoned mines. Big browns that do hibernate in caves stay closer to entrances, where the temperature is cooler. According to Hall, laboratory studies have shown that the white-nose fungus grows best between 41-50 degrees. These temperatures are found deep in caves where little brown bats hang out. The fungus does not grow as well below 41 degrees. Recently, Hall said, the state removed part of an old concrete wall that blocked air flow into the Hibernia Mine. This may drop temperatures slightly, inhibiting the growth of white-nose fungus in places where little brown bats hibernate. This winter, biologists will carefully monitor bat caves in New Jersey and look for signs of improvement for little brown bats and other species affected by white-nose syndrome: northern long-eared bats, tri-colored bats and eastern small-footed bats. All four have been recommended for inclusion on the state’s endangered species list. Want to help bats in your neighborhood? Install a bat house for summer maternity colonies. Leave some dead or dying trees standing so bats can roost behind the loose bark.

Ban assault weapons to prevent mass killings Yet another mass shooting occurred at a Texas church on Nov. 5, killing 26 people. We must act to prevent more mass shootings, which are now occurring at an average of more than one per day. We don’t yet know this shooter’s motives, but we do know that he used an assault weapon, mass shooters’ weapon of choice. They are meant for the battlefield, which is the only place they should be allowed. They can rapidly fire bullets as fast as the shooter can pull the trigger. We need to ban them nationally. New Jersey’s Assault Weapons Ban remains the strongest such ban in the nation. In 1993, we in Ceasefire NJ helped successfully

defend the NJ ban against an NRA effort to rescind it. The fact that we were successful in breaking the NRA’s stranglehold in New Jersey helped inspire the passage the next year of a 10-year National Assault Weapons Ban, resulting in a two-thirds reduction in crimes using them. We must pass a National Assault Weapons Ban again. But it will take average citizens to persistently advocate for it.

Bicycle mobility plan historic for Princeton

To the editor: The Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee would like to thank the members of the Planning Board for their unanimous vote on Nov. 2 to formally adopt a bicycle mobility plan into the town’s transportation plan. It is a historic step toward healthy, sustainable transportation in Princeton. Special thanks go to Deanna Stockton, our Municipal Engineer, Lee Solow, our Planning Director, and Pete Kremer’s team at Parsons Brinckerhoff for formulating a practicable bicycle plan for Princeton - and to the Complete Streets Committee for helping us shepherd it through the process, to its adoption. We thank council members David Cohen (elect), Tim Quinn and Jenny Crumiller for their unwavering support for a bikeable and walkable Princeton. An immense thank you goes to Mayor Liz Lempert for being a champion for safe transportation choices for everyone in our community. Many thanks also to all former bike committee members, whose years and years of work and dedication to safe bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure have paved the way. We wouldn’t have got here without you. Last but by no means least, we would like to thank members of the community who have shown support for this plan. Moving forward, we hope to see your continued support during the implementation phase.

Jaffer edges Cheskis for Montgomery Township Committee seat By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

For the first time since 2010, a Democrat will be sitting on the dais - as one of five Township Committee members - when the currently all-Republican governing body reorganizes in January. That’s because Democratic Party candidate Sadaf Jaffer edged past Republican Party candidate David Cheskis to capture the lone available seat on Township Committee. Jaffer earned

3,218 votes to Cheskis’ 3,002 votes in the Nov. 7 general election. Cheskis, who is the Planning Board chairman, was chosen to run on the Republican Party ticket when Township Committeeman Richard Smith declined to seek re-election to another three-year term. The Democratic Party controlled Township Committee from 2002 to 2009. The last Democrats to serve on Township Committee were Louise Wilson and Brad Fay.

Since 2010, Township Committee has been controlled 5-0 by the Republican Party. The Republicans will hold a 4-1 majority when Jaffer is sworn into office in January. Although Cheskis lost the election, Mayor Ed Trzaska said he is “really proud” of Cheskis. Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, the Republican Party candidate for governor, lost Montgomery Township by about 800 votes, but Cheskis was able to win back hundreds of votes and

only lost by about 200 votes, the mayor said. “This is a testament to the quality of (Cheskis’) campaign and vision for out town,” Mayor Trzaska said. “David was the top-performing Republican, but unfortunately, (Lt. Gov. Guadagno)’s deficit was just too large. As the saying goes, the top of the ballot greatly impacts the bottom.” Mayor Trzaska offered his congratulations to Jaffer and welcomed her to Township Committee. He said

that he is certain that Jaffer will do a “great job” and help move the community forward. It’s always exciting to have a new colleague to work with, he added. Meanwhile, Jaffer thanked the voters for giving her the opportunity to serve on Township Committee, and also thanked her supporters who “knocked on doors, hosted meetings, made phone calls and attended events during the past year.” Jaffer said that her election marks the end of one-

party rule on Township Committee. Diverse perspectives are needed for meaningful discourse, she said, adding that “better solutions” to the challenges facing the community can be found through fairminded debate. “We made it our goal to encourage Montgomery residents to pay attention to local governance. I pledge to keep this momentum going and to foster even greater civic engagement in Montgomery Township,” Jaffer said.

No surprises on Election Day for Rocky Hill Borough Council By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

There were no surprises in store for candidates for Rocky Hill Borough Council, who faced no opposition in the Nov. 7 general election.

Incumbent Mayor Philip Kartsonis won election to fill out an unexpired term as mayor, earning 214 votes. He ran on the “Rocky Hill United” ticket, and is filling out the last year of former Rocky Hill Mayor Jeff Donahue’s term, which

ends in 2018. Rocky Hill voters also returned Borough Councilmen William “Billy” Dawson and Robert Uhrik to office for three-year terms. The two men, who ran on the Democratic Party ticket, earned 237 votes

and 243 votes, respectively. Rocky Hill voters also elected Amy Kirtland, who ran on the “One Rocky Hill Party” ticket, to fill out the unexpired term of former Councilman Anthony Sciaraffo. He resigned from

Borough Council earlier this year. Across town at the Montgomery Township School District Board of Education, there was a fourway race for three seats on the school board. The term is for three years.

Incumbent school board member Amy Miller was re-elected, earning 3,020 votes. Paul M. Johnson received 2,546 votes and Ranjana R. Rao got 2,124 votes. Paul Blodgett trailed the top three vote-getters, earning 2,107 votes.

Historic Stony Brook bridge reopened on Route 206 By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Five months after being closed for safety reasons, U.S. Route 206 and the historic Stony Brook bridge were reopened to motorists Nov. 2, following extensive repairs to the stone arch bridge that crosses Stony Brook. U.S. Route 206 was closed between Lovers Lane in Princeton and Carter Road in Lawrence Township while repairs were being made to the bridge. The $7.4 million project, which also included replacing the bridge over the Stony Brook flood plain, was completed on time and on budget, said

David Lambert of the state Department of Transportation. An array of government officials and representatives from the project’s contractors and engineers gathered on the bridge shortly before noon Thursday to officially reopen the bridge - although the first cars and trucks did not pass over it until later in the day. Lambert said that while he looks forward to ribbon-cutting ceremonies for DOT projects, this one is special. The Stony Brook bridge is the oldest bridge on a state highway in New Jersey. The bridge, which is a successor to an earlier wooden bridge that

crossed Stony Brook, was built in 1792 and widened in 1916. It was closed temporarily for emergency repairs in February 2016 after part of the parapet collapsed. It was subsequently decided to close the bridge to make permanent repairs. The project involved strengthening the bridge infrastructure atop the three stone arches, which were preserved for aesthetic - but not functional - reasons. Field stones from the 1792 bridge also were reused along the sides of the bridge. The remaining stone wall of the former Worth’s Mill also was stabilized. “Rehabilitating the oldest bridge on a state high-

way in New Jersey is no easy task,” Lambert said. But the project, done in coordination with the Princeton Historic Preservation Commission, provided an opportunity to document 18th-century bridge-building methods while also improving and strengthening the bridge by using 21stcentury techniques, he said. Mayor Liz Lempert, who also attended the bridge reopening ceremony, said she was “so happy to be here” as she stood on the Stony Brook bridge. She thanked all who had worked on the project. Noting the bridge’s historic significance, Mayor Lempert said it “serves as a physical reminder of

Montessori holds toddler parenting workshop

Princeton Montessori School recently hosted a workshop for parents of young children, titled “Montessori In Home.” The event, held Thursday, October 26th at the school’s Cherry Valley Road campus, was open to the public and led by two of the school’s veteran Toddler teachers: Alona Procaccini and Sue Saad. The presenters offered strategies for creating a home environment that reflects the Montessori philosophies of freedom within limits and nurturing independence. One of the key messages of the workshop was the importance of order and the ability of the child to have mobility within their home environment. Parents were advised to create rooms that are not only safe, but that also provide daily opportunities for independence. “Remove objects you

They need a space in every room of the house where they can move freely and help you with something.” Procaccini suggested creating a special cabinet for the child to access premeasured snacks and utensils, or low hooks to hang their coat on when they

come home. The presenters also highlighted strategies to assist with typical parent/child daily struggles, such as getting dressed in the morning or what to eat for breakfast. They proposed offering the child two choices for a given decision. “The child will usually pick the second choice,” noted Saad. “So if there’s something you prefer they choose, it’s best to offer it

second. Either way, it’s important to respect their choice.” Practical life skills are a hallmark of the Montessori philosophy, and the presenters gave many suggestions for how to involve the child in daily household activities. “Don’t wait until they’re asleep to unload the dishwasher or do the laundry,” said Procaccini, “Involve them! Ask them to sort the socks. Give them a sponge and let them wash dishes at the sink. They want to be a part of everything.” The workshop ended with some straightforward but easily forgotten advice for parents: to be the best that you can be. “Keep in mind that children are absorbing who you are,” observed Procaccini, “Not who you say you are, not your job, or even who you think you are, but who you are!”

Princeton’s important role in the early years of our republic. Long live the new Stony Brook bridge.” British and American troops crossed the bridge as they clashed with each other, including on the morning of Jan. 3, 1777 the date of the Battle of Princeton, and a turning point in the Revolutionary War. Elizabeth Kim, Princeton’s historic preservation officer, also praised the collaboration between the State Historic Preservation Office, the state Department of Transportation officials and Princeton officials. Then, Mayor Lempert and DOT Assistant Commissioner Lambert pulled

aside a red cloth that covered a stone plaque. The stone plaque, which was salvaged from the old bridge, stated its 1792 construction date and noted that Princeton is 40 miles from Philadelphia and 56 miles from New York City. Behind the plaque is an informal time capsule - the brainchild of two masons who worked on the project - that contains old photographs and a short history of the Stony Brook bridge. The time capsule also contains detailed entries from old diaries from the mid-1800s, kept by the miller who lived in the fieldstone house to the south of Worth’s Mill.

Re-enactors to be part of Veterans Day celebration By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Aiming to make Veterans Day come alive for Montgomery Township residents, a group of Civil War and World War II re-enactors - complete in period uniforms - will be on hand at Montgomery Township’s Veterans Day celebration on Nov. 11. The seventh annual Veterans Day celebration will begin at 11 a.m. in

Montgomery Veterans Park on Harlingen Road. The ceremony will be held at the Veterans Memorial in the upper parking lot. The re-enactors - which includes a President Abraham Lincoln impersonator will be on hand near the Veterans Memorial from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., said Mike Maloney, who chairs the township’s Veterans Memorial Committee. Veterans Memorial

Committee member Harel Rosen suggested incorporating military reenactors into the Veterans Day celebration, Maloney said. Rosen, who always provides a surplus military vehicle for the event, is familiar with some of the re-enactors, he said. “When Harel brought up the idea, the committee thought it was very fitting, as our mission includes growing each year. I per-

sonally feel that our vision and responsibility is to inform, inspire and involve the community,” Maloney said. “A ‘culture of remembrance’ is about our interaction with our past and our history. What better way than to include bringing the past and that history to life on Veterans Day,” Maloney said. The hour-long Veterans Day ceremony, which begins at 11 a.m., will include

a procession and performance by the Montgomery High School Marching Band and first responders volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians. Montgomery Township officials will offer remarks, as well as U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance (R-7th Congressional District) and state Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli (R-16th Legislative District). Boy Scout Srikar Sura-

paneni and Girl Scout Julia Garaffa will make remarks, along with Joseph Kotch of the Rolling Thunder veterans organization. The POW/MIA Chair of Honor also will be on display. The chair is a reminder that some military service member have not yet returned home, Maloney said. There are nearly 83,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen who are still missing.

Township adds 50 acres of preserved open space By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Montgomery Township has added 50 acres of undeveloped land to its growing list of preserved open space properties, having closed and taken title to two properties on opposite sides of the township. The township closed on a 34.5-acre parcel on Route 518, between Hollow Road and Spring Hill Road. The township had been eyeing the property for open space preservation for some time, and agreed to pay $1.1 mil-

lion for it. A 50/50 costsharing agreement with Somerset County is pending. The land is located on the south side of Route 518. It is adjacent to other open space parcels and farmland, as well as other parcels that the township would like to preserve. The goal is to create a greenway to keep the viewshed open and rural along the township‘s western gateway, where motorists and bicyclists enter Montgomery Township from

Hopewell Township. Township officials became aware that the property was available when two “for sale” signs appeared on it in May. The owner, 901 Realty Associates LLC, had owned the land since 2001 and agreed to sell it after being approached by the township. The property owner had plans to develop the land at some point in the future, but listed it for sale. Part of the land is in the sewer service area and could have been developed for residential

purposes. Other parties had expressed an interest in the parcel and were pursuing it, Mayor Ed Trzaska said. If the township had not purchased the land, “it would have been developed and its viewshed lost forever,” he said. “I am really proud of this deal,” Mayor Trzaska said. The second parcel is a 15.5-acre tract on Belle Mead-Griggstown Road that formerly belonged to Congregation Kehilat

Shalom. The land is being subdivided from the congregation‘s property. Township officials said the acquisition of the tract will preserve a mature forest and the Pike Brook stream corridor. It also connects other preserved greenways along Pike Brook, and will allow for a future pathway connection from the Millers Grove and Pike Run neighborhoods to Montgomery Veterans Park. The township paid $238,778 for the property, using money from its Open

Space Trust Fund. The congregation will keep 6.1 acres, including its building and parking lot. “This is a key parcel of remaining forested land along a stream corridor in Belle Mead,“ Mayor Trzaska said, thanking the congregation being conservation-minded and for its patience while township officials worked on the acquisition. About 36 percent of Montgomery Township is preserved or protected land, Mayor Trzaska said.

Woods Edge Park reopened after improvements By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

With a snip of the scissors, Montgomery Township officials reopened a freshened Woods Edge Park in the Woods Edge development in southern Montgomery Township. Mayor Ed Trzaska cut the ribbon to officially open the pocket park on Harvard Circle in the Woods Edge

development, off Cherry Valley Road. Recreation Director Karen Zimmerman, Recreation Committee Chairman Stephen Shueh and Somerset County Freeholder Mark Caliguire - a former Montgomery Township mayor were on hand for the ceremony. The improvements to the park include two newly

resurfaced tennis courts, a newly resurfaced basketball court, a pickle ball court and two new playgrounds. A shade structure also was added. The refurbished Woods Edge Park is the latest park to have undergone improvements. The facilities at Montgomery Veterans Park, Van Horne Park, Mill Pond Park and Lubas Field have

been updated, Mayor Trzaska said. Montgomery Veterans Park is located off Harlingen Road, and Mill Pond Park is located off Dead Tree Run Road and Harlingen Road. Lubas Park is on the Belle Mead-Blawenburg Road, and Van Horne Park is shared by Rocky Hill Borough and Montgomery Township.

The parks improvement program grew out of a community survey initiated by the Recreation Committee, said Shueh, who chairs the committee. The township sought to find out what residents wanted in the parks. “We are committed to maintaining the quality of our parks, while sticking to our core governing principle of ‘do more with less,’”

Mayor Trzaska said. Caliguire, the Freeholder and former Montgomery Township mayor, said that “a great part of the reason Montgomery Township is a great place to live has been our continued investment in recreation and open space.” “That investment continues with the rejuvenation of Woods Edge Park,” Caliguire said.

James E. Roderick, 93

Louise Bristol

James E. Roderick, 93, of Princeton died Monday, November 6, 2017 at University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro. Born in Marion, OH, he attended public schools there. He was a United States Army Air Corps Veteran in its PreMeteorological Program and served in the Corps of Engineers during World War II in the European Theater. He graduated from Ohio State University with a BS and MS in Physics. He was a member of Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi and the American Physical Society. Mr. Roderick was employed by General Electric Co., in Schenectady and Syracuse, NY from 1951 to 1965 and by EMR Photoelectric, Princeton Junction from 1965 until his retirement in 1991. He had been a resident of Princeton for over 52 years.

Louise Wells Bristol died at home on November 2, 2017, All Soulsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day, and was thus reunited with her beloved husband Lee. Born in New York City on September 8, 1926, she was later raised in the Philadelphia area as well as in California and Florida. The constant in her early years was summers spent at the beach, in Bay Head, NJ. It was here that she thrived; making many life-long friends and eventually marrying the love of her life.

He enjoyed reading and traveling with his wife, Gwendolyn, and served as a volunteer tutor in the Princeton public schools and as a Scouting merit badge counselor. He was a member of The Old Guard of Princeton and the Lutheran Church of the Messiah.

Back in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old Bay Head,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she met the late Lee Hastings Bristol Jr. (1923-1979), former president of Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. He was then the young new organist at All Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Church, a position he held for some thirty years, and she was the newest recruit for his choir. They fell deeply in love and married in 1950. Initially living in New York City, they eventually moved to Princeton, NJ where they raised, and are survived by, their four children: Elizabeth Bristol Sayen (m. to William), Henry Platt Bristol II (m. to Susan), Sara Bristol Ritchie, and Lee Hastings Bristol III (m. to Louise). She was the beloved grandmother, known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lady,â&#x20AC;? to her twelve grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Son of the late Walter and Florence (Collinson) Roderick, husband of the late Gwendolyn (Long) Roderick, he is survived by two sons and a daughter in law; David and Jana Roderick of Manville, NJ and Steven L. Roderick of Princeton. Calling hours will be held from 7:00 to 9:00 PM Thursday, November 16, 2017 at The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Ave., Princeton. Funeral services will be held 11:00 AM Friday, November 17, 2017 at the Lutheran Church of the Messiah, 407 Nassau St., Princeton. Burial will be in Marion Cemetery in Marion, OH. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers memorial contributions may be made to the Lutheran Church of the Messiah, 407 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08540 or to the charity of the donorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice.

During the war years, she attended Miss Porterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School in Farmington CT, graduating in 1945. These were four magical years of friendship, community, and time in New England that she never forgot. Returning to Philadelphia in the late 1940s, she attended Harcum Junior College.

Louise loved the quiet arts of knitting, needlepoint, and flower arranging. However, her life in Princeton was also one of community activities. A founding member of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chemistry Club,â&#x20AC;? an avid golfer and tennis player, Louise also volunteered for the Princeton Hospital Fete, Skillman Neuropsychiatric Hospital, and Trinity Church. She was, it is said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;always the glue that held a group togetherâ&#x20AC;? and the host that graciously welcomed others into her home. Those who knew her admired her quick wit, impish smile and remarkable spirit. Over the years, her memberships included the Nassau Club of Princeton, Present Day and Bedens Brook and Clubs, in Princeton, as well as the Bay Head Yacht Club. With Lee, she attended and was active at All Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Bay Head and Trinity Church, Princeton. Since the tragic death of her husband Lee in 1979, one of the great joys in her life has been her grandchildren - those remarkable individuals who have enriched her life and to whom she gave so much of hers. For it was to these young ones that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ladyâ&#x20AC;? was an example of grace and generosity. She will be remembered as a most loving grandmother, a gracious host, but above all the quintessential support for a man she loved, and whom she now joins at last â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Paradise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;May her soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.â&#x20AC;?

at 1,444. In part, the wide spread might have had a correlation with where the candidates were on the ballot, with Deutsch, Behrend and Tuck-Ponder, in the top three positions, in that order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The conventional wisdom is that ballot placement makes a big difference,â&#x20AC;? Sacks said.

But she said there were different groups in town who gravitated to candidates who echoed their concerns. Behrend, Deutsch and Tuck-Ponder, she said, reflected the three top concerns voters had: the well-being of students, the achievement gap among students and the upcoming facilities bond referendum to pay for

Calhoun J. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calâ&#x20AC;? Killeen Jr., 67 Calhoun J. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calâ&#x20AC;? Killeen Jr., who worked as editor of The Daily News for more than 20 years, died Tuesday at the age of 67. Killeen, who edited the newspaper from 19802002, left after it was sold and worked for the Seacoast Media Group in New Hampshire (20042010) before taking an editorial post in Princeton, New Jersey, in 2011. Killeen was editor of the Packet Media Group, Princeton, N.J., from 2011-2015. While in New Jersey, he had maintained his family residence in West Newbury, MA. He returned, and in recent months had been battling ill health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cal was a good editor, and had us working as a team,â&#x20AC;? said Victor Tine, a retired newsman who worked under Killeen as city editor for 21 years before Killeenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We became a better newspaper under his leadership. He was very reader oriented, and organized the paper so readers could navigate easily. Georgetown news was always in the same place, Amesbury news was easy to ďŹ nd, and things like that. He made it easy for readers.â&#x20AC;? Tine credited Killeen with increasing readership in the 1990s even as the internet was becoming a signiďŹ cant competitor. Merrily Buchs, a retired copy editor who worked under Killeen, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cal was very knowledgeable, and always had good story ideas. Under his leadership, we grew in circulation to about 14,000 and had a large staff that provided a good news package. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He could be fun to work with, and would come out to the news desk on deadline to help edit stories and be sure we met deadline. That was a good period for this newspaper.â&#x20AC;? Jack Bradshaw, director of the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority from 1973-78, and later a business leader with real-estate interests in the downtown, said Killeen was an honest, forthright journalist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I called him Cal Clean,â&#x20AC;? said Bradshaw, a retired executive who was recently honored for his work in the preservation of the downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a truthful guy, and you would get a straight answer from him if an issue arose.â&#x20AC;? Esther Sayer, a barber and business leader, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a great guy. He always had a smile and a story. He was the epitome of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;when Irish eyes are smiling.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here since 1981, and I would see him often downtown. A really good guy.â&#x20AC;? Killeenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure in the 1980s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s coincided with the rebirth of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown business district and waterfront. Historic buildings were revamped, the city created riverfront parks and extended the boardwalk. Mary Carrier, who was mayor from 1998-99, called Killeen â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good newsman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knew a lot of people in town, and his editorials got right to the point,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At candidate forums, he asked tough questions and he would speak his mind. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always agree, but I respected him as a professional.â&#x20AC;? In the 1980s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, the editorial staff of the publication grew to about 20, some of them moving on to larger news organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cal was a good leader in the newsroom, and reporters who worked under him went on to the Boston Globe, New York Times, and many other publications,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Vaiknoras, a veteran photographer with The Daily News. During Killeenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure, Jeff Kinney was on the staff for a time. Kinney went on to become author of the successful â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diary of a Wimpy Kidâ&#x20AC;? book series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeff would ask to do cartoons in the newspaper, but Cal said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the need,â&#x20AC;? Vaiknoras recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cal laughed at that later, especially after the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wimpyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movie came out. Cal could acknowledge that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what a talent he had had in the newsroom.â&#x20AC;? He is survived by his wife, Wendy, and two daughters, Kelsey and Kara. No services are planned. A spokeswoman at the Elliott, Woodworth and Rogers Funeral Home said a celebration of life will be held at a later date.

building and other projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I won based on the issues that I care about are in line with what our community is focused on,â&#x20AC;? Deutsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful for that and hopeful about working on these issues and having the chance to serve.â&#x20AC;? For her part, Behrend said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race was not a â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-issue campaign,â&#x20AC;? with voters asking about a range of topics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was interesting because I found people asking, at almost at every gathering, about multiple issues,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would talk about taxes. They talked about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your position on Charter, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your position on Cranbury, how do you feel about special needs and how do you feel about

diversity and equity and inclusion.â&#x20AC;? Except for Tuck-Ponder, none of the other candidates had run for public office before. They went through a campaign that required multiple public and private events to appeal to voters, had lawn signs up around town and used social media, with most having candidate web sites and Facebook pages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a serious race,â&#x20AC;? Sacks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they all really put a lot of work into developing their platforms and to engaging with the voters.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To run is a lot of work, to serve is a lot of work,â&#x20AC;? Deutsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate that it takes a lot to get there.â&#x20AC;? But during the campaign, the candidates of-

fered little in the way of policy disagreements with one another or with the direction of the school system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t huge differences in their positions on the biggest issues,â&#x20AC;? Spalla said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All six of them really shared our vision for where we want the schools to go, which was heartening,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And although there were nuances between them, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a controversial election because there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t people who were against what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to accomplish now. There were people who had nuances and could bring skills to the table to help us be successful. But there was nobody who thought we were going in the wrong direction.â&#x20AC;? Behrend, Deutsch and

Tuck-Ponder will take office with the school district looking to have a facilities bond referendum, in 2018, to address overcrowding at Princeton High School, possibly open a new school in town and make security and other improvements at other schools, among other things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From everything I know right now, I feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving in a direction that we need to,â&#x20AC;? Deutsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to getting the full picture.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good group and we have a lot of work to do,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to ting started with them.â&#x20AC;?

Jezierny went to work for the university for the first time, in 1986, as its director of community and state affairs. She returned to Trenton, in 1990, to work for the administration of Gov. Jim Florio, as his assistant state treasurer. In an interview last year, Florio recalled her as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;key personâ&#x20AC;? in budget deliberations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was always very good,â&#x20AC;? he said in touting her â&#x20AC;&#x153;quiet determination.â&#x20AC;? She spent a year working for Florio before going back to higher education, first at Farleigh Dickinson University before returning to Princeton in 1992 as an associate dean in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. She has been director of public affairs for nearly 14 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; having to work with Democratic and Republican governors in that time. Ciattarelli said that in past six years, he and Jezierny have â&#x20AC;&#x153;communi-

cated and or worked together at least once a quarter on various issues that are important to Princeton and specifically the university.â&#x20AC;? One instance where they did not see eye to eye was on a bill to make private universities exempt from municipal land use regulations, so that their projects would not have to get approval from planning and zoning boards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a case of us always being in perfect agreement,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think land use law was a perfect example of us not being in agreement. But we always worked together well. And I always found Karen to be very professional.â&#x20AC;? State Sen. Shirley K. Turner, (D-15) had represented Princeton when it was part of her district, with the town now in Ciattarelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district. She said she continues to work with Jezierny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found her to be a very committed and very dedicated person to, of course, the university but also to the Princeton community,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I have nothing but respect and high regard for her.â&#x20AC;? Away from her work for Nassau Hall, Jezierny, a Princeton resident, is also involved in the community, including with college

sports and the local chapter of the YWCA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always found Karen to be aboveboard and very interested in community affairs,â&#x20AC;? said former Borough Councilman Kevin Wilkes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had a good relationship. And I think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (a) pretty square person.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is wonderfully charismatic and possesses a passion for this school that is unmistakable,â&#x20AC;? said Princeton womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer coach Sean Driscoll, in 2016. But it is unclear what the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities might be with a new governor replacing Chris Christie, a Republican. There has been no talk of the state trying to tax the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than $20 billion endowment, a move that Connecticut officials considered but dropped concerning Yale University. But the timing of the change in administration comes with the university looking to expand its presence into West Windsor as part of its strategy to grow the school in the coming years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So no matter who wins the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race,â&#x20AC;? Ciattarelli said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Princeton will be well represented with Karen doing its outreach to the new administration.â&#x20AC;?

Zullo happy to contribute to PHS title By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

A year ago, Tucker Zullo was on the sidelines cheering on his Princeton High teammates during the school’s most successful crosscountry season in its history. This year, Zullo wanted to make sure he was contributing to the Little Tigers’ success on the course. “Going into the summer, I really wanted to be in the top seven in cross-country,” said Zullo, a junior. “I had to train every day and do the work and go to the gym. I said to myself if I did all those things I could reach my goal. “I was the 12th guy last year. We had a few seniors and then a big pack. In the spring, right after the Cherokee race, I PRed (personal record) in the mile and that was motivation for me. I knew what I had to do.” The work Zullo put in has certainly paid off this season. Last Saturday he was Princeton’s fourth finisher, 17th overall, at the Central Jersey, Group IV state sectional meet that was run at Thompson Park in Jamesburg. His performance helped lift the Little Tigers to the sectional team title by one point over West Windsor-Plainsboro South. Will Hare finished first overall in 15:39, while Jackson Donahue came in 11th, Acasio Pinheiro placed 16th, Zullo ended in 17th and Alex Ackerman finished 22nd as Princeton posted 67 points to edge WW-P South, which finished with 68 points. Freehold Township finished third with 86 points. Montgomery was eighth, led by Jeffrey Meyer in 36th place and Harry Gould in 39th. The Princeton boys’ team was able to successfully defend its state sectional title, which came much easier a year ago when the Little Tigers outdistanced WW-P South

Tucker Zullo was Princeton’s fourth finisher, 17th overall, at the Central Jersey, Group IV state sectional meet that was run at Thompson Park in Jamesburg. by 45 points. This time around, every place mattered. “Toward the end of the meet my stomach was starting to get to me,” said Zullo, a Cranbury resident. “I was concerned we didn’t get the W. (PHS coach Jim Smirk) was pacing and wasn’t sure if we had won. Eventually, when the results came out, it was fantastic. “I was running with Jackson and Alex ,so I knew I was in the top five. I was paying attention to the guys in front of me and trying to stay ahead of the South guys. It paid off at the end.” Zullo spent the summer away from home, so he put in quite a bit of his work on his own. “I was at the beach most of the summer, so I had to do a lot of runs myself,” Zullo said. “I talked

to Coach Smirk at the end of spring track about what I needed to do. I stuck to the guide. I made it my daily routine to work in the morning and run at night.” He came back to the opening of practice in good shape and ready to compete for a spot in the varsity lineup. “Toward the beginning it was still on and off,” Zullo said. “I didn’t know if I broke into the top seven. Watching it from sidelines last year was really rough. I knew I wanted to be part of it and wanted to contribute to the team’s success.” Zullo was the Little Tigers’ fourth finisher, 17th overall, at the Mercer County meet, helping the team to a county championship. He’s come a long way in his three

years with the program and hopes that even better days are ahead. “Freshman year I was not very good, but I did run,” Zullo said. “That year in cross country I wasn’t really serious about it. I played freshman basketball and then after track that spring I got serious about it. Coach Smirk made me understand what I needed to do to improve. “This is all about building a legacy for Princeton High School for years to come, not just this year.” Princeton will now focus on repeating as the state Group IV champion when that meet is held on Saturday at Holmdel Park. WW-P South will be there, as will South Jersey champ Kingsway and North Jersey powers Westfield and North Hunterdon. “Facing South again, they are going to be out for blood,” Zullo said. “It should be a great meet. There will be a lot of good teams there.” And after cheering from the sidelines last year, this time around Zullo will be on the course doing what he can to help Princeton to a title. And then the following week, Princeton will focus on retaining the Meet of Champions state title. That season-ending state championship race will also be held at Holmdel Park and will be run on Nov. 18. In the Central Jersey, IV girls’ cross-country meet at Thompson Park, Princeton finished fourth to advance to the state Group IV meet at Holmdel Park. Also in the girls’ sectional meet, Montgomery was 12th. For Princeton, Chloe Taylor finished ninth and Siena Moran was 10th to lead the way. Charlotte Gilmore was 15th, Lauren Cleary 35th and Elizabeth Hare 43rd to round out the top five. Montgomery was led by Julia Hans, who finished 38th.

Successful season ends with loss for PHS volleyball By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The Princeton High girls’ volleyball program has now put together back-to-back championship seasons. The Little Tigers, the two-time West Jersey Interscholastic Volleyball League champion, saw their season end this year with a loss to Westfield in the state Group IV quarterfinals last Saturday. And while there was disappointment in not advancing further in the tournament, the big picture shows just how far the program has come in just its fourth year at the varsity level. “It was an exciting match, just a bummer not to pull it out,” said Princeton coach Patty Manhart, whose fifth-seeded team dropped a 25-16, 15-25, 25-17 decision to fourth-seeded Westfield. “We felt like it was a momentum-based match. Whoever had the momentum in each set was going to pull that set out. Unfortunately for us, they had the momentum in the third set.” Princeton, which finished the season with a 31-2 record, had beaten East Orange Campus and Monroe to advance to the quarterfinal match with the Blue Devils. A year ago, Princeton qualified for the state tournament and lost its opening match to Clifton. This year, the Little Tigers went in looking for more. “That is what the girls are expecting now and the mindset going in was to make the postseason and win as much as we could,” Manhart said. “Overall, we hoped to go a little further with the seniors we had. With the sophomores and seniors, we felt like the sophomores really wanted to go further

for the seniors. The Monroe match was a highlight.” The loss to Westfield brought to an end the careers of senior players who have taken Princeton from a fledgling program to one that can compete at the state level. Seniors Rachel Cheng, Anna Cao, Sara Vigiano, Sydney Rubin and Tia Giblin helped transform the program from one filled with novice players to one that has now won two straight WJIVL titles. “That is what I had to remind them of,” Manhart said. “There were a lot of tears and running noses after we lost. I had to outline it for them that we won back to back championships and finished with a 31-2 record. That was not what they were thinking about moments after the Westfield match, but eventually they will realize what they have done. “I know they each have their own memories of seeing this team grow. One thing Sara Vigiano said was her memory of not being able to get a serve over the net when she first started. Now she serves consistently and is a solid and important player for us. They have all seen how much they have improved.” Manhart hopes the program continues to move forward, even with the loss of such a talented senior class. There is plenty of talent coming back and hopefully younger players will begin to latch onto the sport. “We have a decent nucleus,” Manhart said. “But when you lose your big hitter and setter, who is your quarterback, and also your middle hitter who is a spark, that’s tough. There is not a youth recreation program in town. But if we could work through Princeton Recreation or the athletic depart-

Senior Anna Cao had 10 kills in Princeton High's loss to Westfield in the state Group IV quarterfinals last Saturday. ment and hopefully get the word getting out there and hope young players are getting into sport. I need to do more as a coach to develop the pipeline.” Whoever joins the program will be joining a group that has quickly put Princeton volleyball on the map. The program is just four years old and already has a pair of championships. “I feel like I have to pause and remind myself of that, too,” Manhart said. “It has happened so quickly and you don’t want to take that for granted. Last year we might have been surprised by hav-

ing a winning record and been happy about going further this year. But with our mentality now, that has become the bar. “The girls get to put a 2017 on the banner in the gym. It’s a nice reminder that they can always see and something to be proud of.” In the loss to Westfield, Rachel Cheng finished with 20 assists in the match, while her sister, Kim Cheng, recorded eight service points. Cao finished with 10 kills, while Gillian Hauschild collected seven kills and four service points. Natalie Drobnjak finished the match with eight digs.

PHS reaches CJ IV soccer final By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

MONROE - Wayne Sutcliffe could see something special in Nick Petruso before the freshman even arrived at Princeton High School. “We knew last summer when we were training in alumni pickup games that he had something special,” the Princeton High boys’ soccer coach said. “It was the same way with (former players) Zach Halladay and Aiden Passanante and Sam Kotowski. These kids are playing up against senior level players and college players and they’re not bringing the game down. “So I have known about him for three years. We just brought him along slowly. We’re a senior heavy team and we had a plethora of strikers. It was a matter of grooming him in and letting him earn his time and he did that at the JV and freshman levels.” After starting the season on the freshman team and eventually moving up to the junior varsity, Petruso was called up to the varsity level in early October and has not disappointed. The freshman connected on two goals on Wednesday when the third-seeded Little Tigers edged second-seeded Monroe, 2-1, in the Central Jersey, Group IV state semifinals. With the victory, Princeton advanced to play at top-seeded Hunterdon Central in Friday’s 4 p.m. Central Jersey, Group IV final. The Red Devils (163) are the defending sectional and state Group IV champion. A victory in the state sectional final would send the little Tigers to the Group

IV semifinals on Tuesday. “At first, the practices were hard,” Petruso said of his move up to the varsity level. “I didn’t know any of the players and they didn’t know me. When I started playing, I would sit on the bench and then I started getting into the games. Then I started to start some games. I had been on the freshman and JV teams. The more I was with these guys the more it motivated me.” Petruso’s presence made all the difference in the triumph over Monroe. He broke a scoreless tie with just over 23 minutes left to play in the second half before he struck with his second —and eventual winning — goal three minutes later to give the Little Tigers a 20 lead. Monroe would score with just over one minute left to cut the lead to 2-1. “We had some injuries and we brought him around in training and some 11v11 side games and he really held his own and stood out,” said Sutcliffe, whose team improved to 15-5-1 with the victory. “He helps everybody else raise their level. Because if a young player is performing like that, even the most senior player at the senior level has to do better.” Princeton has plenty of senior experience on this year’s squad. The Little Tigers have 15 seniors on the roster and that experience has helped them through a sectional tournament run that started with victories over Middletown South and Long Branch before they eliminated Monroe. “We have enough people who have been around a lot and involved with the team,” senior Dean Patel

said after the Little Tigers’ win over Long Branch. “Myself, Quentin (Pompliano), Drew (Beamer), we have plenty of players who have been around and know what we have to do to win games. “Our freshman year was the year we played in the state final. It was a very motivating year. The first year we come in I was at the state final and there were hundreds of people there. We don’t get that in club so it would be nice to end our career like that.” Patel is one of the Princeton seniors that bided his time and eventually moved into a key role on the field. “I have only been with the varsity since my junior year,” Patel said. “But I have been involved and practicing. My grade, the group itself, when we got in we were looking up to playing at this level. Now it is our senior year and we have to make every minute count.” The victory over Monroe sent Princeton to its first Group IV state sectional title game. The Little Tigers moved up to Group IV in 2015 and had not advanced beyond the sectional semifinals the last two years. This year’s team has taken on the look of a championship team more and more as the season has progressed. Princeton reached the Mercer County Tournament semifinals and is now in the state sectional final. The team has seen its senior group become better leaders over the course of the season. And now the group has a chance to play for a championship, which is something Princeton teams have made a habit of doing.

PU hoop teams set to open season By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Mitch Henderson and Courtney Banghart both know what it is like to run the table in the Ivy League. Henderson coached the Princeton University men’s basketball team to a 14-0 record in the league a year ago, while Banghart has guided the school’s women’s program to a perfect record in the league three times in her 10 seasons as head coach. Whether or not either Tiger team is capable of going through their league season unblemished this year is still to be determined. But both programs come into the year with high hopes and should be in the mix for a league title. “In terms of the strength, I think we’re a little bit further ahead than we were a year ago defensively, and then the schedule is so challenging, we really challenged ourselves, put ourselves out there in terms

of, I think, with this group, you can do it,” said Henderson, whose team won the Ivy League Tournament and finished 23-7 a year ago. The Tigers suffered with the graduation of Spencer Weisz, Steven Cook and Pete Miller, but there is plenty of talent returning from the team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament, where it lost to Notre Dame, 60-58, in the opening round. Amir Bell, Myles Stephens and Devon Cannady are a solid foundation from which this year‘s team will build. Cannady, who averaged 13.2 points per game a year ago, is the leading returning scorer, while Bell gives the Tigers an experienced point guard. Stephens is a do everything player who is certainly one of the top defenders in the league. “I think Myles is able to guard other teams’ best players and that gives you an opportunity to be in any game because everybody’s got really good players,” said Henderson, whose

team will open the season on Sunday at Butler. The Princeton women return the top two scorers in sophomore Bella Alarie and senior Leslie Robinson. The graduation losses of Vanessa Smith, Taylor Brown and Jackie Reyneke will be felt on the court, but the Tigers to have a strong nucleus after finishing 16-14 and reaching the Ivy League Tournament final a year ago. “I think this program has always incredible chemistry off the court,” said Banghart, whose team will open the season tonight at home against George Washington. “It’s been a team top-tobottom and side-to-side that’s really prided itself on being one. Last year, we weren’t quite as cohesive in terms of how we played the game together on either end. Princeton has not had a losing season since 2008, which was Banghart’s first as head coach. But the 1614 overall record was the team’s worst since finishing 14-14 in 2009.

Former MythBuster Adam Savage has teamed up with YouTube star Michael Stevens to create 'Brain Candy Live!' By Anthony Stoeckert

dam Savage isn't finished blowing stuff up in the name of science. For 14 years on the Discovery Network's hit show "MythBusters," Savage and Jamie Hyneman led a team of special effects experts, designers, builders and stunt drivers as they created scenarios to test urban legends, tall tales and scenes from movies to see if they could happen in real life. They weren't scientists, but scientific principles were a big part of the show, and Savage says the job led to a knowledge and appreciation for science. “I came around to realize I deeply, deeply love the story of science and how it helps us as a species and as a planet to better ourselves,” Savage says. “And telling those stories turned out to be the most important thing in those 14 years we made ‘MythBusters.’” “MythBusters” ended its run in 2016. Savage and Hyneman also had a live show they toured, which wrapped up in 2015. Savage wanted to continue performing live and was connected with Michael Stevens — creator of the science- and math-themed YouTube channel VSauce — through the agency they share. “I’m a huge fan of Michael's,” Savage says. “It turned out that Michael and I were uniquely suited to be collaborators and we had the most fun writing this show together.” The show they created is “Brain Candy Live!” in which they use props, tools and demonstrations designed to entertain audiences while also educating them about science. Savage and Stevens are bringing the show to the State Theatre in New Brunswick, Nov. 15. “‘Brain Candy’ is our two-hour celebration of the pleasure of learning new things,” Savage says. “If your high school science teacher had a Vegas-style budget, that's the kind of show we decided to write.” Savage says the show starts with a magic trick, which leads to him and Stevens talking about smoke and mirrors. “By the time we're done talking about smoke in various ways over 20 minutes, you will understand how air molecules move on an almost atomic level,” Savage says. “That's how deep down the rabbit hole we keep going.” He adds that just as “MythBusters” used explosions to trick people into learning, “Brandy Candy” ends with an explosion he calls “pretty spectacular.” “It is deeply part of Michael Stevens' and my overall goal to educate people about science and critical thinking,” he says. “For me, what we're really doing is helping people understand that science is not a series of facts to memorize, it is a set of stories we come up with in order to explain the phenomena that we see. If you understand the story, you understand the science and that's the most important thing, to help people realize what a rich, varied, creative intense, enjoyable field the sciences are.” Savage and Stevens also collaborated with Michael Weber, a magician who has worked with David Blaine among others, to create the show. They spent about eight months sharing ideas and establishing a framework for "Brain Candy" before beginning rehearsals.

'MythBusters' star Adam Savage is bringing his new show to the State Theatre.

“I wanted to structure this science/variety kind of like a magic show, but instead of at the end of each vignette, a mystery, in this case at the end of each vignette is a little bit of knowledge, a little bit of a deeper understanding,” Savage says. Savage did some acting as a child (he played Mr. Whipple’s stock boy on an old Charmin commercial) but didn’t have serious thoughts of being on TV or on stage when he got the call from Hyneman about putting together an audition reel for “MythBusters.” Savage was working in special effects, creating models for Industrial Light and Magic, the special effects arm of George Lucas’ LucasFilm. “I had also started to do public speaking on behalf of LucasFilm,” he says. “I told them that I was a good public speaker and they had started to send me around to different ﬁlm festivals to give talks about LucasFilm and the special effects process, it was really fun. So that type of public outreach and public communication was something that I was exploring at the very moment 'MythBusters' showed up. It was fascinating timing.” “MythBusters” started off testing well-known urban legends, such as whether or not a penny thrown of the Empire State Building will kill someone or if a duck’s quack echoes. Many of the myths they tested came from movies, such as if shooting a scuba tank could cause the explosion at the end of “Jaws” or whether a person would suffocate if completely covered in paint, as explained in “Goldﬁnger.” Savage says he still gets ideas that would make for good segments for the show. “I can’t stop collecting myths,” he says. “I read the news and I see something that happened and I have a running list for the last two years of stories I still would have loved to do on the show.” And while there are no plans for the “MythBusters” team to reunite, Savage says he never says never.

“I loved making that show,” he says. “I love and still work with that crew as much as I possibly can, they're my family.” In this age where prominent people in the media and in politics attempt to discredit science, through denying climate change for example, Savage says promoting science is an important part of his work. “I can't not worry about what deﬁnitely feels like an attack on science, it is something that pains me greatly,” Savage says. “And then I remind myself that one of the things I think is my mission is to help people understand. It's not to battle the anti-science [crowd], yes, there's a battle but on an individual level, to me, it's just about talking, it's about a conversation. I'm pretty sure that a fair number of my Twitter followers don't agree with me politically, but even if that's the case, I try and deal respectfully with those issues. I'm very vocal but I'm also very polite. Adam Savage and Michael Stevens will perform “Brain Candy Live!” at the State Theatre, 15 Livingston Ave., New Brunswick, Nov. 15, 7 p.m. Tickets cost $35-$75; www.stnj.org; 732-246-7469.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

‘Hairspray’ at Music Mountain Theatre A new venue in Lambertville stages a ‘60s-set musical filled with song, dance and laughter

usic Mountain Theatre in Lambertville is a new venue that opened in October with “Phantom,” a musical not by Andrew Lloyd Webber, but by Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit. The theater’s inaugural season continues with “Hairspray,” and it’s a fun night of theater, filled with laughs and a whole lot of impressive singing. The theater is new but many of the cast members will be familiar to people who have seen shows at the Open Air Theatre in Washington Crossing Park over the past eight summers. Ginny Brennan produces, Jordan Brennan and Louis Palena direct, and the cast includes Colby Langweiler, Jill Palena, Lauren Brader, and Anna Hentz, all of whom were regulars at the company’s old outdoor home. They, and everyone else in the cast, bring energy and talent to this show, set in 1960s Baltimore. “Hairspray” began its life as a 1988 movie by John Waters. It was a departure for Waters, more mainstream than his previous films, and rated PG. The stage musical, with songs by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and a book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan opened on Broadway in 2002. It won the Tony for Best Musical and ran until 2009. The film version of the stage musical was released in 2007. “Hairspray” tells the story of Tracy Turnblad (played by Lucinda Fisher), a Baltimore teen who is obsessed with “The Corny Collins Show” an American Bandstand-like broadcast in which local teens dance to the music of the day. All the dancers are white and the show’s producer Velma Von Tussle (Hentz) is determined to keep it that way, she wants more Connie Francis music, not R&B. “Steer them in the white direction,” she orders. Velma also wants the show to spotlight her daughter Amber (Jill Palena), who’s dating Link Larkin (Matthew Robertson), the show’s heartthrob dancer. A dancer spot becomes open when Brenda (Jamie Geddes) has to leave the

Music Mountain Theatre is staging “Hairspray” through Nov. 19. show for a period of time, nine months to be exact. Tracy has the moves and wants to audition but she’s discouraged by her mother Edna (a part played in drag, here by Michael Moeller). Edna doesn’t want Tracy to do it, they’re both plus-sized, and Edna wants to protect her daughter from certain rejection. But Tracy’s father Wilbur (David Whiteman), owner of the Hardy Har Hut joke shop, thinks his wife and daughter are both beautiful, and encourages Tracy to go out for the show. Tracy’s audition earns her a spot on the show. Back at school, she gets sent to detention because her hair is so big it blocks the chalkboard. She meets some of the school’s black students, who get to dance on Corny’s show once a month, but Tracy wants everyone to dance together. Brennan and Palena’s direction is very good, they’ve set the perfect tone and keep the story moving, not so easy with so many characters. They’ve also created some terrific choreography that this company handles wonderfully. Rarely have I seen so

many people dancing so fast while staying in sync. Fisher is terrific as Tracy, starting everything off with a rousing “Good Morning Baltimore.” She also shows her serious vocal talents during “I Can Hear Bells” and other numbers. Moeller and Whiteman make a charming couple as Tracy’s parents. Edna isn’t a villain trying to keep her daughter down, she’s over-protective, a shut-in who’s been ridiculed for her looks trying to protect her daughter. “They don’t put people like us on television,” she says. But she breaks out of her shell in glorious style during “Welcome to the ‘60s,” during which Moeller brings down the house. Edna also has a lot of zingers, which Moller delivers with punch, but this is a character with real depth, and the relationship between Edna and Wilbur is touching, and their duet “You’re Timeless to Me” is a delight. Hentz and Jill Palena play the motherdaughter villains, Velma and Amber, and both give wonderful performances. Palena

plays Amber, the girl trying to keep Tracy off the show while also holding onto her boyfriend, Link Larkin (Matthew Robertson) who’s smitten with Tracy. Palena can sing and also has a knack for comedy, her best line is when Amber tells Link, “Whatever happened to the bland, spineless boy I fell in love with?” Louis Palena brings charm and confidence to Corny Collins, the show’s host. Typically, a host like this would be played as dim and superficial, but Corny is on Tracy’s side. “It’s time we put kids on the show who look like the kids who watch the show,” Corny says, using his star power for good. Other standouts include Taylor PickettStokes as Motormouth Maybelle, who sings a powerful version of “I Know Where I’ve Been.” James LeGette plays Seaweed J. Stubbs, Motormouth’s son, and brings a great voice to the show. His character gets involved with Penny Pingleton (played by Colby Langweiler), and the two actors have some nice chemistry together. Also deserving praise is young Suryi Williams, who plays Little Inez and shines whenever she’s on stage. Other highlights include wigs designed by Louis Palena and the costumes by Jordan Brennan — lots of poofy dresses, bow ties and saddle shoes. And then there’s the theater itself. The new venue is welcome setting to see a show, comfortable seats with good sight lines and terrific lighting and sound. The cast sings to a recording, and while I always prefer live accompaniment, the balance between the recording and vocals was perfect. The new venue also has a nicesized lobby, with easy access to the box office, concessions, and rest rooms.

“Hairspray” continues at the Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179, Lambertville, through Nov. 19. Tickets cost $22, $20 seniors/students/military; www.musicmountaintheatre.org; 609-397-3337.

ON STAGE By Anthony Stoeckert

History Meets Theater

McCarter Theatre will present readings of short plays as part of the Princeton and Slavery Project

n 2013, Martha Sandweiss, history professor at Princeton University, taught a class about Princeton’s history with slavery, which she thought would be one-time thing. “I had recently moved to Princeton, I was curious, I was ignorant [as to] what might the story be about Princeton and its engagement with the historical institution of slavery,” Sandweiss says. “Lots of other schools had done these studies but when I got to Princeton I discovered no one was really looking into that here.” Sandweiss and her undergrad students studied materials at Princeton’s archives with archivist Daniel Linke. During that research she saw the beginnings of a bigger story. With help from the university’s humanities council, the endeavor grew from a one-time class to a comprehensive resource known as The Princeton and Slavery Project. Sandweiss says the core of the project is a website containing the equivalent of 800 pages of historical stories written by Princeton students, undergrad and graduate, and professional colleagues. It also contains videos, maps and other information. Also available on the site are about 350 primary source documents. “I think it will be a really rich resource for teachers and students moving forward, and we hope the website will continue to grow as other people contribute documents and stories of their own,” Sandweiss says. The website launched Nov. 6, and coinciding with the project is a series of events with the project’s community partners, including performances of short plays about Princeton’s history with slavery at McCarter Theatre, Nov. 19. Sandweiss says that early on in the project, she realized community partners would add an impact and create a broader conversation because other outlets can explore Princeton‘s history with slavery in ways historians cannot. “History lies at the core of this project, but historians have rules,” Sandweiss says. “We cannot speculate about things, we cannot assert things for which we do not have evidence. We live and die by our footnotes. Creative artists engage the past in a different way, they can engage their artistic imaginations, they can imagine what people said or imagine what people were thinking.” She says Emily Mann, McCarter’s artistic director, immediately supported the theater’s involvement with the project, and decided to commission playwrights to write short plays based on the historical documents. Mann herself wrote a play, “Under the Liberty Trees,” which was inspired by a 1766 sale notice for slaves sold by Samuel Finley, then-president of the university (then known as The College of New Jersey. Dipika Guha’s “Elizabeth” is about the American Col-

onization Society, a group that supported slaves who wanted to return to Africa, and helped found the nation of Liberia in the early part of the 19th century. The short play examines the society’s efforts from several points of view such as slave traders, both American and African, a wealthy Philadelphia African American businessman who debates lending a ship to the society, and a young Princeton minister dealing with a spiritual crisis. “The play is completely true,” Guha says. “The only voice that I made up was the African slave trader’s voice, I couldn’t find primary source material but I did read about that and people like that. Everyone else’s point of view has been collected from primary source material — from letters, from the Colonization Society and from their annual minutes.” Guha is a New York-based playwright who got involved with the project after she participated in a residency at the theater. She says writing a short play on such a big topic was a challenge. “The process is exactly the same as writing a longer play, only you’re trying to distill your ambitions down to 10 minutes,” she says. “It has been challenging and this play has gone through [a lot of] drafts. The process of reading and finding your way into a point of view and then finding a structure that will support that point of view was identical, for me, whether the play is full length or 10 minutes.” She also says she’s considering writing a full-length play on the subject. “There’s an interesting way to tell it, to share it with people, that challenge is exciting,” she says. “I fell in love with the characters and I would love to find a way to expand it.” Other playwrights whose plays will be read during the weekend include Nathan Alan Davis; Jackie Sibblies Drury; Branden Jacobs-Jenkins; Kwame Kwei-Armah; and

Regina Taylor. Anna Morton, literary manager for the project, says the playwrights spent about a year working on their plays. “They were given an overview of the research and what their findings were so far,” Morton says. “And they were shown and introduced to certain documents from all of the archives the scholars had found that might help to be jumping-off points to help inspire them about what they wanted to write.” The playwrights also toured the university and the Princeton area to see the locations related to their research. Guha’s “Elizabeth” is one of two plays written about the Colonization Society. Another story being told in two plays is that of James Johnson, an escaped slave who arrived at Princeton and worked at the campus. He was recognized by a student who lived near the plantation Johnson worked at and turned in Johnson, who was sent back to the plantation in Maryland. “I think it’s going to be a special event for the community to have this research made available and see these plays and learn all these things that we don’t know even though we’ve lived here for so long,” Morton says. Other events tied to the website’s opening is keynote address by Toni Morrison. There also will be a screening of a documentary featuring interviews with Princeton graduates who are descendants of slaves and slaveholder. Both Morrison’s talk and the documentary screening are sold out. The Princeton University Art Museum is installing a sculpture in front of Maclean House by artist Titus Kaphar. The museum’s galleries will showcase works by Kahar. The Princeton Library is hosting an exhibit drawing from historical documents to show how deeply slavery was ingrained in Princeton well into the 19th century. The library also will host a screening of the acclaimed film, “I Am Not Your Negro: James Baldwin and Race in America” featuring a discussion with Ruha Benjamin, assistant professor of African-American studies at Princeton University. On Nov. 20, the library will host a post-show conversation on the Princeton and Slavery Plays with Not in Our Town Princeton. On Nov. 28, the library will screen four films by undergraduate student filmmakers that explore resonance of family stories about slavery, based on research from the project. The screenings will be followed by a discussion with the student filmmakers.

Public performances of the Princeton and Slavery plays will take place at McCarter Theatre, 91 University Place, Nov. 19, 1 p.m., 4:30 p.m. Tickets are free and must be reserved at www.mccarter.org.

IN CONCERT By Mike Morsch

Rickey Medlocke is Ready to Turn it Up

The Lynyrd Skynyrd member is bringing his other band, Blackfoot, to New Hope

n the 20th anniversary of Rickey Medlocke rejoining Lynyrd Skynyrd in 2016, the band decided to mark the occasion in a somewhat low-key way. After a gig one night, Medlocke returned to the band’s bus and found a Snickers bar and $1.50 taped to his seat. That took Medlocke back two decades, to the premiere of “Freebird . . . The Movie,” a part documentary, part concert footage film about the iconic southern rock band released in 1996. Medlocke had appeared with other Skynyrd members in a jam session the night before the film’s premiere and the mini reunion had stirred memories from the early 1970s, when Skynyrd first formed and Medlocke was a part of it. Skynyrd co-founder and guitarist Gary Rossington had been toying with the idea in the mid-1990s of inviting Medlocke back into the band. Medlocke’s appearance at the jam session and film premiere had provided an opening. “Gary didn’t have Allen [Collins, who had died in 1990] anymore and he didn’t have a solid rock guitar player. I was about the closest thing to Allen that he figured he could get,” Medlocke says. The call came and Medlocke got the message via his

Rickey Medlocke and Blackfoot will play Havana in New Hope, Nov. 12. telephone answering machine, which in the 1990s used cassettes to record the messages. “I still have the tape. I was at my studio in Fort Myers, Florida, working on new material and I called home to see if there were any messages,” Medlocke says. “And there was one from Gary. He said, ‘I want you to learn “I Ain’t the One,” “Saturday Night Special,” “That Smell” and “Freebird” and when you’re ready, I’m gonna come down and audition you. And if you pass the audition, I’ll give you $1.50 and a Snickers bar and put you back in the band.’” Medlocke passed the audition, but didn’t collect on the $1.50 and Snickers bar until 20 years later. In the early 1970s, Medlocke was in a band called Hammer — which he would eventually reform in 1972 as Blackfoot — then based in Princeton, but was frustrated with the band’s progress and uninterested in continuing with it. So he called Skynyrd co-founder and guitarist Allen Collins looking for a job. “I got a-hold of Allen and asked him if they needed a guy to set up the equipment or drive the truck or whatever,” says Medlocke. “He said, ‘You need to call Ronnie.’” As in Ronnie Van Zandt, co-founder and lead singer for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Medlocke did just that, and asked Van Zandt if Skynyrd needed anybody to help with the band. “So, are you still playing drums?” Medlocke recalled Van Zandt asking him. “He said, ‘We’re losing [drummer] Bob Burns and we’re booked to start recording our first record at Muscle Shoals. Would be be interested in becoming the drummer of the band?’” Medlocke certainly was interested. Van Zandt sent him a plane ticket and within a few weeks, Medlocke was in re-

hearsals for what would become “Lynyrd Skynyrd’s First and . . . Last” record. Although the recording sessions for that album were originally recorded in 1971 and 1972 at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama, and planned as the band’s debut album, the songs were shelved and not released until 1978 as a posthumous compilation album after the band’s tragic airplane crash in 1977 that killed Van Zandt; guitarist/vocalist Steve Gaines; his sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines; assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick; pilot Walter McCreary; co-pilot William Gray; and seriously injured the other band members. Medlocke had left Skynyrd to form Blackfoot in 1972, and songs that he had written, co-written and performed on in those early recording sessions, appeared on “Lynyrd Skynyrd‘s First and . . . Last” album. A year later, in 1979, Blackfoot’s third studio album “Strikes” charted at No. 42 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The original Blackfoot eventually disbanded, but Medlocke — who still plays with Skynyrd — reformed the band in 2012. Today’s version of Blackfoot, featuring Medlocke as special guest guitarist, will appear for one show, Nov. 12 at Havana in New Hope, Pennsylvania. “I think that in a way, that’s the way for a classic band to keep the name and the heritage very current,” Medlocke says about today’s Blackfoot, which performs the band’s classic tunes while also mixing in new music. “I gotta tell you, the original band was a really incredible live band,” Medlocke says. “We had great songs. We had a really good run at it man, from about 1978 to 1985. We toured the world, we sold a lot of records. I just felt like, you know what, instead of letting all that great music just die and be put way where nobody could ever hear it again, I thought it was a really good idea to have young guys who appreciated the music to take it, make it their own and go out and play it for people.” Today’s Blackfoot features lead vocalist Jeff Shields, guitarist Seth Lester, drummer Matt Anastasi, guitarist Tim Rossi and bassist Derek DeSantis. “You know what man, these guys have been going out and kicking butt. There is another even newer generation that is showing up listening to the band and appreciating it,” said Medlocke, who owns the naming rights to Blackfoot. “As long as the guys go out there with integrity and respect for the music . . . what I want them to do is play the classics until one day what they can do is create their own classics. And that’s what they’re doing.”

Blackfoot will perform at Havana, 105 S. Main St., New Hope Pennsylvania, Nov. 12, 8:30 p.m. For tickets and information, go to www.havananewhope.com or call 215862-5501.

IN THE KITCHEN

Cornbread for inside or outside the turkey While I enjoy cornbread year round, I really crave it in the fall and winter. With today’s popularity of southern food, cornbread is getting more attention than ever, and debate rages about what constitutes the “real deal.” Some say sugar, some say none. Some say white corn (very southern), while most use yellow. While you can use buttermilk, both recipes below happen to use regular milk. The proportion of cornmeal to flour is also important; I like a good amount of corniness in my own, but others don’t like the slight interior grittiness that can come from that. One of my favorite turkey stuffings of yore was a southwestern version based on cornbread made with green chile and cheddar cheese. I made it on Thanksgiving for my family years ago. I adored it, but my parents and sister, not so much, and they went right back to their traditional sage sausage stuffing the following year. See Pati Jinich’s stuffing with chorizo and pecans below, which you can bake inside your bird (i.e. stuffed) or as a separate “dressing.” Today I make cornbread with one or two additions that might include the aforementioned green chilies and cheddar, jalapenos, corn kernels or creamed corn, pecans, or dried cranberries (thank you Whole Foods for that idea). I’ll freeze a few portions, and if I have some going stale, I’ll cut them up and oven-dry the cubes for croutons. Local restaurants get in on this act, too. I see maple cornbread on Hopewell’s Brothers Moon Thanksgiving take-home menu, and at the Turning Point in Mercer Mall, sweet cornbread serves as a base for some egg dishes. When the Dinky Bar & Kitchen opened, the menu included pork ribs with a rich jalapeño cornbread. I like the not-so-sweet version at Morgan’s Island Grill in Hightstown, and legions swore by the chili and cornbread at the mourned Main Street Bistro. I had a hard time choosing recipes for this column, so for two more recipes check out Bon Appétit’s Cauliflower Gratin with Mustard-Sage Cornbread Crumbs and The New York Times Cooking’s Pumpkin Cornbread. So much corny goodness! East coast grill cornbread Adapted from The New York Times Sunday Magazine, “The Cornbread Matters Most,” by Sam Sifton (4/1/2012). Serves 6 to 8. I was lucky to visit the East Coast Grill in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for brunch in its heyday (it’s still open,

1 teaspoon salt 1 ½ cups milk 1 large egg 3 tablespoons maple syrup Preheat oven to 425 degrees, coat 9-inch baking pan (or cast iron skillet) with bacon grease. Sift cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk butter, milk, egg, and maple syrup. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. Scrape batter into greased pan and sprinkle over the cooked bacon. Bake about 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cornbread can used in all sorts of ways, including as the basis for stuffing on Thanksgiving. but not with the original owners). Sam Sifton wrote his Sunday Magazine column around the restaurant’s cornbread, making some adjustments of his own, like adding the corn kernels. — F.B. 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup yellow cornmeal ½-¾ cup white sugar (depending on how sweet you like it) ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 2 large eggs 1½ cups whole milk 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil ¼ cup melted butter 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels Preheat oven to 350. Lightly oil a 9-inch cast-iron skillet and put it in the oven to heat up. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and oil. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, add the melted butter and the corn and stir

together until just mixed. Remove the hot cast-iron pan from the oven and pour in the batter, then give the pan a careful horizontal shake to even it out. Return pan to oven and bake, approximately 1 hour, until it’s browned on top and a toothpick or a thin knife inserted into the top comes out clean.

Serves 8. 4 ounces diced bacon, cooked until crisp, use 1 tablespoon drippings to grease pan ¼ cup (½ stick) butter, melted 1½ cups raw fine white or yellow cornmeal 1 cup white whole wheat flour, whole spelt flour, or whole wheat pastry flour 4 teaspoons baking powder

Chorizo, pecan, apple, and cornbread stuffing Adapted from “Pati’s Mexican Table: The Secrets of Real Mexican Home Cooking,” Pati Jinich, Rux Martin/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (2013). Serves 10 to 12. Use your preferred cornbread as a base, maybe a double batch of the Southern Cornbread above minus the bacon and maple syrup. — F.B. 1 pound Mexican chorizo, loose, or casings removed 1 ½ white onions, chopped 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped 4 celery stalks, thinly sliced (about 1 ¼ cups) 2 granny smith apples, cored and chopped 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans ½ teaspoon dried thyme ½ teaspoon dried marjoram ½ teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt 1½ pounds corn bread, cubed (about 8 cups) 1½ cups chicken or vegetable broth Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Once it is hot, add chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned and crisped, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onions, saute 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, less than 1 minute. Add celery, apples, pecans, thyme, marjoram, and salt and cook 56 more minutes, until celery and apples have softened. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl. Add cornbread, pour over the chicken broth, and mix gently with a spatula or large wooden spoon until well combined. Can be made up to two days ahead, covered, and refrigerated.

D&R Greenway has a ball D&R Greenway Land Trust hosted its masquerade ball on Oct. 28 at the 52-acre Muscente property in Hopewell to celebrate the organization’s preserving more than 20,000 acres. The spirits of preservation took shape in costumes such as butterflies, bees and a beekeeper, fall foliage and even invasive species. Trustee Betsy Sands came dressed as Poison Ivy. “I wanted to remind folks that invasive plants are poison to our environment,” Sands said. “The masquerade ball is a great way for adults to share in the fun of Halloween while raising funds for the preservation of land in our communities so that future generations can have open space to enjoy.” The Muscente property, at 166 Hopewell-Rocky Hill Road, is the first property to be preserved through D&R Greenway’s Revolving Land Fund. Guests enjoyed wine and hors d’ouevres while listening to the music of Acoustic Jazz and having their costumes immortalized at Nic’s Photo Show, with its crescent moon backdrop. It was an ideal setting in which to fall in love — and in fact, the Masquerade Ball has indeed united at least one couple. Pennington-based artist, singer and business consultant Mary M. Michaels, a D&R Greenway volunteer and supporter, came to last year’s ball dressed as a butterfly. Against the starry starry night backdrop of Nic’s Photo Show she

was captured with environmental hydrogeologist Philip Getty, dressed as a Green Man. “We immediately connected and fell in love,” Michaels said. “It was completely unexpected but we’re both extremely happy.” Michaels and Getty attended as a couple this year, dressed as “Getty Van Gogh” and his “Starry Night.” After a dinner of food from local farms, guests had the chance to stargaze through Amateur Astronomers’ Association of Princeton’s telescopes. The crisp fall evening offered a clear sky, revealing the moon and stars. Astronomers Dave and Jennifer Skitt and Victor Davis explained the constellations. Phyllis Marchand, Chair, D&R Greenway Board of Trustees, wearing a Princeton Tigers cap, black clothing, an orange lei, and boxer shorts printed with large pumpkins on either hip, carried a sign that read “Halloween is every day in Princeton—wear the colors!” “There’s nothing spooky about saving land,” said Marchand, former Princeton Township Mayor. “We all celebrated Halloween together and we have to remember that clean air and water, and saving land and our planet is not a political issue. The Earth doesn’t know your voting affiliation, we all want to leave a healthy planet for our children and their children.” Guests also watched Garden State Watercolor Society artists

Your Home from savings to luxury

Steps to save energy this winter

Conserving energy is not just an eco-friendly endeavor, but a potentially lucrative one as well. Homeowners who attempt to conserve energy may do so to promote the longterm health of the planet, but such efforts also greatly reduce energy bills. Thanks to air conditioning systems, energy bills might spike in summer. But winter utility bills also can be costly, especially in homes that have not been winterized or audited to ensure energy is not being wasted. Winterizing a home involves taking steps to conserve resources and save a little money along the way.

Windows A home’s windows can be a great place to start when winterizing a home. If the residents of a home feel cold when sitting near certain windows even though the windows are closed, the windows likely have drafts. Feel around the edges of the window and frame to determine if any cold air is coming in. If so, seal the leaks immediatel. Unsealed leaks can make air inside homes cold, prompting many to turn up Close your fireplace’s dampers when it’s not in use in order the temperatures on their to prevent cold air from entering your home. thermostats, which can lead conditioning units may bento the unnecessary conefit by removing these units Air conditioners sumption of energy and conHomeowners who cool from windows before the artribute to high energy bills. their homes with window air rival of winter. Window

units left in windows may be allowing cold air into a home, leading to more energy consumption and higher energy bills. If removing the units is too difficult or impossible, purchase window unit covers that can be wrapped around the outside of the unit to prevent cold air from entering the home. Water heater According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating water accounts for roughly 18 percent of the energy consumed in a typical home. The DOE recommends setting water heater temper-

atures to 120 degrees. Doing so will save energy and money while still providing plenty of warm water when residents need to bathe. Fireplace Homeowners who have fireplaces in their homes should make sure dampers are closed whenever fires are not burning. Open dampers are akin to open windows, allowing plenty of cold air to enter a home. The DOE recommends opening dampers in the bottom of the firebox when using the fireplace to reduce heat loss and allow homeowners to lower their thermostats while the fireplace is in use. — Metro Creative Connection

Factors to consider when choosing carpeting When the time comes to choose flooring for their homes, homeowners may be overwhelmed by the vast array of options at their disposal. The choice between carpet and hardwood flooring, laminate or tile is a matter of personal preference. People have long extolled the virtues of hardwood flooring, but carpeting can be just as stylish and provides a host of other benefits as well. Carpeting insulates rooms in the summer and winter, adding that extra level of protection against the elements. Carpeting also absorbs sound in a home. Many appreciate the warmth and cozy feeling of carpet, especially when stepping out of bed. Carpeting also can increase the level of safety at home. Today, there are many different types of carpeting available. Selecting the right carpeting for a room comes down to identifying the level

of traffic in a particular room, the attributes homeowners would like the carpet to have and any other needs that fit with their lifestyles. The following guidelines can make carpet shopping a bit easier. Type of carpeting There are many different types of carpeting, some of which are best suited to certain situations. For example, plush and saxony carpets are better in low-traffic areas. These carpets may show footprints and also vacuum tracks and dirt, but they’re higher on the comfort spectrum than other types of carpet. Berber, which is more flat and dense, helps mask stains and tracks. It is durable in high-traffic areas. Textured carpets like frieze are cut from fibers of different heights, so they mask stains and are also softer on the feet than berber.

Padding Padding can impact the way carpeting feels and how long it lasts. It isn’t always necessary to purchase the most expensive or thickest padding. However, it is wise to pick a pad that matches the type of carpeting you’re selecting and one that aligns with how you plan to use the room. You may be able to go with a thinner pad in low-traffic rooms and beneath dense carpeting like berber. In high-traffic rooms, choose a thicker, more durable padding. Padding prevents carpet backing and fibers from coming apart over time. It pays to invest in a padding that will last as well. Installation Select a reliable carpet retailer and installer for your business. Competent installers will lay the carpeting in the correct manner so that it will look beautiful and maintain its durability for the life of the

Proper installation of carpeting is important for appearance and safety. product. Shop around to find the right installer or even do the work yourself if you feel capable.

Take time when shopping for carpeting, which is a substantial investment that can last for many years if the right ma-

terial is chosen and installed correctly. — Metro Creative Connection

How to make bedrooms more conducive to sleep

Insufficient sleep causes more problems than many people may know. Fatigue after a poor night’s sleep might seem like an inconvenience that can be easily rectified, but the long-term effects of insufficient sleep are significant. According to the National Sleep Foundation, researchers have found a link between insufficient sleep and an elevated risk for type 2 diabetes. In one such study exploring that potential link, researchers asked

healthy adults to sleep just four hours per night for six nights. At the conclusion of that period, participants’ ability to break down glucose had decreased by an average of 40 percent and reached levels that are consistent with those of older adults at risk for diabetes. Insufficient sleep may be linked to any of a host of factors, including one’s bedroom environment. An environment that promotes restful sleep can help people suffering from insomnia or restlessness improve the

quality of their sleep. The NSF offers the following tips to make bedrooms more conducive to sleep. • Set the right temperature. The NSF notes that research indicates a bedroom temperature of roughly 65 degrees makes for the best sleep. Human beings’ body temperatures rise and fall throughout the day, reaching their lowest level around 5 a.m. each day before slowly climbing as morning begins. A room that is too warm overnight may interfere with this nat-

ural dip, leading to restlessness. If necessary, install a programmable thermostat in the bedroom so the temperature in the room remains steady and in line with your body’s natural temperature fluctuations. • Address allergens. Some people may trace their sleeping difficulties to allergies. Dust and pollen in the bedroom can make for a disruptive night’s sleep. Wash bedding once per week in hot water if dust mites are proving problematic. If pillows cannot be

washed, dry them using high heat to kill dust mites. In addition, cover the mattress in a mattress protector that guards against allergens and dust mites. If pollen is finding its way into the bedroom, always keep bedroom windows closed during allergy season. • Use a white noise machine. Noise is another potential contributor to poor sleep. The NSF notes that the constant ambient sound created by white noise machines masks activity both inside and outside the

house, helping people enjoy more restful sleep. • Draw blinds, shades or curtains. Early morning rays from the sun might be triggering your body to wake up before it’s had adequate rest, so make sure blinds, shades and curtains are drawn before going to bed at night so you are not woken up prematurely in the morning. Making bedrooms more conducive to sleep is one way men and women can improve the quality of their nightly sleep.

LOOSE ENDS

Pam Hersh

A leader at work, and in the community Elizabeth Protage Walsh was honored by the Princeton library for her efforts as an ‘energetic ambassador’

I want to reassure Elizabeth Protage Walsh that I am no stalker, in spite of the fact that I followed her around last week at Hulfish Street, Starbucks, Springdale Golf Clubhouse, and the Nassau Presbyterian Church. Elizabeth is my “street” friend, always welcoming, supportive and encouraging no matter what my angst du jour. We see each other on the streets of Princeton as I walk to coffee and/or work and she walks to coffee and/or work at Bryn Mawr Trust on Chambers Street. It wasn’t until this past week, however, that I realized that my street friend was actually a superhighway kind of gal. My week of Beth concluded Nov. 4, when she was honored at the Princeton Public Library benefit, the lecture portion of the event, taking place at Nassau Presbyterian Church. Library Executive Director Brett Bonfield recognized Walsh as “one of the library’s most energetic and steadfast

ambassadors. [She is] the treasurer of the Princeton Public Library foundation and a member of the foundation’s board of directors and investment committee. . . . Her work benefits everyone who works at the library and everyone who benefits from the library.” On Nov. 2, I sat with Walsh at Springdale Golf Club, where the Princeton Area Community Foundation Fund for Women and Girls hosted its annual grant-making dinner. The Fund for Women and Girls comprises committed community philanthropists who have pooled their financial resources to invest in organizations and programs aimed at improving the lives of women and girls throughout Mercer County. In addition to providing funding, the members of the Fund for Women and Girls lead the annual grant-making process. The 2017 event, which reminded me of a community service version of “American Idol,” featured presentations

from six inspiring community service providers vying for individual grants of $25,000. Walsh’s role at the foundation is serving on the asset building and professional advisers committees. Earlier in the week, in addition to greeting one another on Hulfish Street, Walsh and I had a brief conversation at Starbucks about her being honored with an invitation to join the advisory board of the Griswold Center for Economic Policy Studies at Princeton University. The Benjamin H. Griswold III, Class of 1933, Center for Economic Policy Studies at Princeton University, founded in 1989, sponsors faculty research as well as a number of programs each academic year. During one of our encounters, I learned that Walsh recently hosted a friend-raising luncheon at the Nassau Club for the Corner House Foundation in her role as advisory board member. The Princeton-based Corner House promotes the health and well

being of Princeton area young people and their families as they confront substance abuse and other emotional issues. And she has a very fulltime job — leading the Princeton team for Bryn Mawr Trust and she is responsible for new business, community visibility, and brand development. There’s more. The longtime Princeton resident is married to Patrick Walsh, a writer, and she’s the mother of 6-year-old, Maeve. Who is this woman? Does she wear the Wonder Woman costume under her business suit? “No, but I did have a wonderful mentor,” someone many Princetonians called a wonder woman, Chris Lokhammer, the recently deceased philanthropist and wealth manager with whom Walsh worked for a number of years. In fact, Walsh, who graduated from Princeton University in 1988, is just doing what she always loved to do, nurturing. Not just for the sake of

making someone feel good for the moment, but for purposeful nurturing with a longer-term goal of making a difference in someone’s life. “When I graduated from Princeton as a history major, I was not sure what I was going to do professionally,” Walsh said. “Chemical Bank offered a training program — and I always had heard that a person could indulge one’s nurturing characteristics in the profession of private banking. My challenge, however, was that I knew no finance. I studied hard after graduating and learned a lot. I love what I do and I have never looked back,” said the native Californian. For Walsh , wealth management is far more than moving money around. It involves listening, empathizing, understanding and then crafting individualized investment strategies. She brings that same philosophy to all the volunteering and philanthropy in her life. “The grant-making dinner

was a reminder that we all need perspective,” she said. “We spend our days wrapped up in issues which feel profound to us, but they can pale in comparison to the stark, urgent needs of people so nearby. “The six Fund for Women and Girls grant finalists each had a compelling story and a significant need. With every proposed program, there’s an element of nurturing that is important to help vulnerable women find their strengths and realize the difference they can make. That underlying sense of care and consideration is exactly how I approach my life, personally and professionally. For every hour I spend volunteering with PACF to promote local philanthropy and support the Fund for Women and Girls, I’m rewarded far more than I contribute.” This is one wealth manager who had made all of us wealthier.

Spread the cheer with YWCA’s St. Nicholas Project

YWCA Princeton’s St. Nicholas Project is seeking help to spread cheer this holiday season. The project provides holiday presents to help local families in need create the magic of Christmas in their own homes. Gifts are donated by community members, individuals, families and businesses. The St. Nicholas Project was founded in 2000 by

Princeton resident Jill Jachera, who saw the need to help families in Princeton. “With limited resources, many parents, especially those new to this country, struggle to make the holidays special for their children,” Jachera said. “My husband and his family moved to the USA when he was 4, with no money and no English-speaking skills. But he still remembers the acts of kindness from

strangers that made his family feel welcome. We want to pay it forward and do the same for immigrant families and those in similar situations throughout Princeton.” The project, originally called the “YWCA Adopt-aFamily”, was renamed after its first year in memory of Jachera’s nephew Nichols Nutile, who was killed in an automobile accident in 2001. She continues to lead the

drive each year encouraging businesses and individuals to join her effort to enrich the lives of local families and strengthen our community. Any individual, organization, family, and business can participate. You can become “St. Nicholas” and choose to sponsor a large family, a small family, or an individual. Toys, clothes, gift cards and food are needed. Contact Jachera at

jill.jachera@ gmail.com by Nov. 17 with your contact information (name, email address, and phone number) and you will be provided with a “wish list” for a particular family and/or individual. Gifts should be new and unwrapped and must be dropped off on Dec. 12th, between 8 a.m. and noon at the YWCA Princeton’s Bramwell House located at 59 Paul Robeson Place (at the corner

of Route 206). For those who wish to contribute and cannot shop, a tax-deductible donation can be made to the YWCA Princeton. By indicating the donation is for the St. Nicholas Project, the entire donation will be used to provide scholarships for some students in the Young Wonders Child Development Center.

. Where did you grow up? A. I am a New Jersey resident my whole life. Born in Red Bank and raised in Middletown, after college my wife and I moved to central New Jersey where we have been for almost 40 years.

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. There is something for everyone in the greater Princeton area. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, golfing). Mercer County’s commitment to the space devoted to parks, trails and waterways make for an exceptional quality of life people who enjoy outdoor activities.

. What is your specialty in real estate? A. Several years ago I earned the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. Baby boomers like me often are dealing not only their own futures regarding planning for retirement and real estate needs, but that of

their parents and children. The SRES course provided me with all of the tools to help me help seniors who are not sure where to begin. While “aging in place” is preferred, there may come a time when it is no longer a choice. In many cases baby boomers have parents and children with special needs. I have an excellent network of professionals in place to help them make the best choices.

. What separates you from your competition? A. My marketing communications background and skills enable me to better position and present my clients properties and help define where the prospective buyers will be coming from, thus maximizing how every marketing dollar is spent to target prospective buyers. On the buy side, I am very straight with my clients about the pros and cons of properties they are considering.

Q Q

. What did you do before real estate? A. I was Owner/President of a marketing communications company for 18 years.

. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Helping people who need the most help. Firsttime home buyers and Seniors seem to have the most needs. First time home buyers have many questions every step of the way, and I am happy to lead them. Seniors often do not have a spouse or children living locally to help with a move, so you become family. Trust is a huge part of any transaction, especially when you are dealing with Seniors.
