Unopposed candidates win primary race for committee

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

More than 3,000 voters in Hillsborough Township took to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots in the 2018 primaries that featured local, county and state races.

Democrats Jeffrey A. Wright and James Bergstrom, and Republicans Shawn Lipani and Ron Skobo, will be on the ballot this November for two open seats on the township committee.

The four candidates ran unopposed in their respective political parties.

According to unofficial vote results provided by the county, Bergstrom earned 1,681 votes, Wright received 1,713, Lipani earned 1,220 votes and Skobo received 1,122 votes.

The two seats up for grabs are currently held by Republicans Greg Burchette and Carl Suraci.

Since neither filed a petition to run this June, they will not be

seeking re-election this November.

At the county level, according to information provided by Township Clerk Pamela Borek, Democrat candidates Shanel Robinson and Sara Sooy won their unopposed primary race for the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders with 1,622 votes and 1,631 votes, respectively. Incumbent Republicans on the board, Patrick Scaglione and Mark Caliguire, also won their primary bid

with 1,103 votes and 1,128 votes, respectively.

Though Democrat Bob Menendez won the overall Democratic race for the party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate, Lisa A. McCormick took Hillsborough, with 986 votes to the sitting senator’s 822 votes.

Menendez will face Republican Bob Hugin, who also took Hillsborough by a wide margin in his race against Brian Goldberg by a span of 1,013 to 177 votes.

In the primary race for the New Jersey 7th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, incumbent Republican Leonard Lance will run against Democrat Tom Malinowski.

Lance earned 963 votes in Hillsborough, versus Raafat Barsoom’s 125 votes and Lindsay C. Brown’s 116 votes.

Malinowski took 1,053 votes in Hillsborough, while Goutam Jois took 417 and Peter Jacob took 324 votes, respectively.

Elementary pupils cut, donate their hair for a good cause

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

Clutching her pony tail up high, Amsterdam Elementary School fourth grader Sydney Sowers was showered with cheerful excitement from her peers last Friday, as she and some of her fellow classmates gave locks of their own hair to help other children living with hair loss.

The show of selflessness from 19 students, two teachers, two former students and one parent were part of a yearly hair donation ceremony to benefit Wigs for Kids, a non-profit organization that makes hairpieces for children.

“Kids are very aware of things in the world that are happening,” fourth grade teacher Lisa Caudill, who coordinates the drive, said. “They’re aware of other peoples’ challenges and they want very desperately to play a part in helping others in a time of need. It just goes to show that when given the opportunity to do so, they will rise to the occasion.”

For the 15th year, students at AES have participated in the annual drive that Caudill “accidentally” began when she first started teaching at the school in 2003. At that time, she said she was growing out her hair to donate some of it to Locks of Love, a similar, national nonprofit when she shared her intentions with her class.

“I shared with my students that I was going to donate my hair when it became long enough and they were hooked,” she said.

What started as a passing comment turned into a classroom project, as Caudill said students began measuring her hair, encouraging her to keep it up and showed earnest interest about the organization. Eventually, she decided to have her hair cut in a classroom ceremony by the mother of one of her students, who worked as a hair stylist.

Later that year, some of her students decided to follow suit and they also held a small inclass ceremony. Word spread and the following year, Caudill got

the green light from the school to start the hair donation program.

“It just kind of caught on,” she said. “It has kind of taken on a life of its own. This has become such a wonderful part of our school that I just can’t stop it and I wouldn’t dream of stopping it now.”

This year, approximately 276 inches of hair were collected.

Since those first in-class ceremonies, officials said the school’s fourth-grade classes have donated nearly 7,500 inches of hair.

“This is one of the things I am most proud of in all of my years of teaching,” she said. “I love the fact that students are given the opportunity to leave a legacy behind after they’ve come and gone through our hallways.

They’re bringing that spirit of generosity with them.”

Along with this year’s hair donations, Caudill said the drive also managed to collect approximately $1,100 in monetary donations through a hair extension fundraiser, which gave students and staff the chance to purchase pink or red hair extensions.

Hair Plus, a local hair salon in Hillsborough, assisted in this year’s hair drive by not only bonding the extensions to peoples’ hair, but also taking the time to cut the 24 hair donations on June 1.

Looking back over the last 15 years of hair donation drives, Caudill said she was incredibly proud of all of her students, who she said deserved all of the credit.

“I think the thing that’s most touching about the program is that it’s kids helping other kids,” she said. “I think the program will live on long after I am a part of the Hillsborough Township School District. It has a life of its own, it lives and breathes and it’s a part of every fiber of our school.”

Teacher arrested for sexual conduct with a student

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

A 27-year-old Plainsboro man and tenured Hillsborough High School English teacher Kenneth Shindle was taken into police custody by local and county law enforcement yesterday for alleged inappropriate conduct with a 17-year-old female student.

According to Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and Plainsboro Police Chief Guy Armour, an investigation into the alleged misconduct started when Plainsboro police

responded to a “possible dispute” between Shindle and the student on his front lawn.

Following their investigation, Det. Timothy McMahon of the Plainsboro Police Department and Det. Mark Morris of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office determined that the teacher and his student had been engaged in the alleged inappropriate conduct from Jan. 1, 2018 until May 7.

During that time, officials said the student had unsupervised visits at the teacher’s home.

Shindle was charged with two

second degree counts of endangering the welfare of a child; one count for engaging in sexual conduct that would impair or debauch the morals of the child and one count for causing harm to the child making her an abused or neglected child.

An official at the Hillsborough Township Public School District declined to comment on Shindle’s arrest or his current employment status at the high school. They did say, however, that the district was “working in full cooperation with See SHINDLE, Page 3A

full poker hand. Prizes go to the riders with the best hands.

The riding and the poker stops generally add up to about two and a half hours. A picnic lunch, bike show and deejay and live music by Seamus Ronan of The Elevator Operators awaits riders upon their return to Spruce Run, where they can meet up with nonriding friends and family members.

The cost is $30 per rider/ passenger, which includes an event T-shirt, breakfast and lunch.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Hillsborough Beacon 3A

By Michele S. Byers

Good news for globally rare swamp pink lilies How can you tell if an ecosystem is healthy?

Take a look at the plants and animals living there.

In New Jersey – especially the southern counties - one sign of healthy forested wetlands and headwater streams is the presence of the evergreen lily known as swamp pink (Helonias bullata).

The plants produce a beautiful and unusual looking bloom, a grapefruit-sized cluster of tiny, bright pink flowers with blue anthers atop a long, slender stalk. They’re often found together with other sensitive species, including unusual orchids like the southern twayblade, and forest interior birds like Acadian flycatchers and prothonotary warblers.

Swamp pinks were once abundant, but have declined sharply due to impacts from humans and white-tailed deer. The plant was federally listed as a threatened species in 1988, and in New Jersey it’s endangered.

Humans dry out swamp pink habitats by drilling too many wells, pave over aquifer recharge areas, and disturb land so that rainfall turns into sediment-laden floodwater. On the New Jersey coastal plain, humans chew through sandy uplands with bulldoz-

ers, destabilizing soil and causing headwater streams to become clogged with sand, burying the delicate swamp pink rosettes.

Swamp pinks that survive the onslaught of human-caused habitat damage also must withstand overabundant white-tailed deer. Hungry deer eat the tender swamp pink flower buds shooting up in midApril, when food sources can be scarce. Deer also munch their evergreen leaves year-round.

Some swamp pink populations that once had hundreds of blooms each April have been virtually eliminated by deer.

On Mason’s Run in the Camden County borough of Pine Hill, wire cages placed around wild swamp pink plants proved that they can recover and flower when protected from deer.

But swamp pinks just got some good news in the form of a $250,000 federal grant to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to help preserve their habitat. The grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Cooperative Species Conservation Fund will go toward buying land along Cumberland County’s Cohansey River that contains swamp pink habitat.

“This unique and beau-

tiful wetlands wildflower is very sensitive to environmental degradation, so preservation of any land that supports swamp pink also preserves some of our most pristine land,” noted Ray Bukowski, the NJDEP’s assistant commissioner for natural and historic resources.

“One of the best strategies for protecting swamp pinks is land acquisition,” said Alicia Protus, a biologist at the Fish and Wildlife Service’s New Jersey field office. “That will certainly help with staving off any development impacts.”

Several projects will also help with deer impacts.

For years, naturalist and photographer Michael Hogan of the South Jersey Land and Water Trust has expanded deer fence protection projects, building wire cages all across southern New Jersey and stewarding a five-acre fenced swamp pink population.

Protus said two other deer fencing projects are in the works to protect South Jersey swamp pink populations. In addition, her department uses cages to protect individual plants or clumps of plants.

The Fish and Wildlife Service also partners with groups to protect swamp

pinks. “We have one Partners for Fish and Wildlife project in the works in Camden County,” explained Protus. Biologists plan to install deer fencing and cages around an important swamp pink population and track how the plants fare after installation. “The population has had a persistent herbivory issue for several years and has declined in number, so we’re hoping the fencing will give the plants an opportunity to bounce back.”

The Fish and Wildlife Service also runs an “Adopt a Swamp Pink Population” program, in which volunteer citizen scientists monitor locations with known swamp pink populations and collect data on the size of clumps and how many plants bloom.

Right now, about 61 percent of the world’s swamp pinks are found here in the Garden State.

The southern counties

– especially Cumberland, Cape May, Ocean, Salem and Burlington – are strongholds, although swamp pinks are also found in Atlantic, Gloucester, Camden, Monmouth and even small areas of Middlesex and Morris.

Smaller populations occur in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia.

Kudos to federal, state and private efforts to protect swamp pinks, which truly are “canaries in a coal mine.” By protecting the land around them and safeguarding clean water, we can hopefully restore their populations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Student-run game a menace to the township To the editor: As a resident of Hillsborough, it has come to my attention that there have been many instances when the need for police officers simply was not an emergency.

Over the past several years, there has been a game played by seniors in high school, called Senior Assassins.

It is a childish water gun fight that spans the length of a week. Students will go to drastic measures in order to get another player out, including blocking roads, driving on the wrong side of the road and even high speed chases.

Along the course of this game there has been roughly four car accidents, some extremely serious. As a way to escape being trapped, players have the audacity to call the police in order to clear them of a situation.

Being a member of the town, I think it is absolutely ridiculous to have the police waste their time on these matters. There is simply no emergency and this is just a game. Students should not call the police and take time away from actual emergencies that could be happening in the town.

There are many areas in town where the speed limit ManvilleNews.2.736x4.5.StaffBox.indd

is loosely enforced, there are many pedestrians and there are also intersections with frequent accidents. The police force should not be bothered by this game in order to ensure the safety of the town.

Other residents in Hillsborough are concerned about players driving on lawns, trespassing, reckless driving and noise complaints. In a game that only spans a week, there is more trouble in the town than any other time of year. This game of Senior Assassins is not school organized and is instead run by a group of seniors that elect not to participate in the game. I think the town should identify a way to prevent this game being played. There are too many valuable resources in this town that are being wasted due to the immature behavior that takes place during this game.

I would never want my child to waste the time of a police officer over a game like this. As someone who is just viewing this game from the outside, it is scary to witness what is occurring in this town. Doing something as simple as driving down the street is concerning because of student-established roadblocks and high-speed chases.

I have been told that the school tries to prevent the game from being played by sending emails to parents and students and also prohibits students from playing on school grounds. I strongly believe that this matter should be taken to a higher level in order to prevent the chaos that has been brought to the town.

I am aware Hillsborough is not the only town that this game is played. Local governments in each town should take necessary measures in order to stop the kids from being encouraged to play. Laws should be passed to prevent these seniors from believing it is acceptable to act irresponsibly during the week of Senior Assassins.

Low primary voter turnout a problem To the editor: New Jersey just held its primary for elections this fall.

This brings up the recurring problem of a lack of voter turnout. Upon speaking to many eligible voters, I was a bit disappointed by the large number of people who chose not to vote. What surprised me more was not the choice not to vote, but rather the reason behind it. There is a clear sense of political apathy. People do not care about what is going on, and that is truly problematic.

It is expected that primaries and congressional elec-

FAX (732) 780-4678

tions have a lower turnout than presidential elections.

Regardless, members of congress still play a vital role in our political process, and it is important to vote for the person most reflective of one’s views.

It is my belief that eligible voters should seek out all opportunities to vote and fulfil their duties in our democratic process. People should research candidates, and choose the candidate that represents his/her personal beliefs. I do not believe “I don’t care” is a viable excuse to not vote. When politicians are making decisions that directly impact the lives of their constituents, the citizens should care deeply.

Hopefully in November I witness more voters than I have during the primaries. Voting is a privilege, and citizens should do all in their power to get to the polls.

Jerusalem embassy move

by Trump is irresponsible To the editor:

On May 14, the United States opened its new embassy in Jerusalem, sparking widespread protests and violence along the security fence from Palestinians. The Israeli Army says 35,000 Palestinians were taking part in the riots, where Israeli snipers killed at least 41 protesters and injured nearly 2000. The goals of the riots are to break through the border and cause havoc in Israeli communities nearby. The protests are a reaction to the displacement of thousands of Palestinians following the foundation of Israel 70 years ago, and the US moving their embassy to Jerusalem.

This highly controversial move by the US was nothing more than a symbolic gesture, resulting in mass chaos and death. It was irresponsible of the White House to make this decision, putting Israel’s national defense in danger and removing the U.S. from 70 years of agreement among the United Nations. It was a strong act of defiance from a president who promised just that, but it will result in nothing more than greater conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

‘The Sum of Us’ at ActorsNet

went into David Stevens’ “The Sum of Us” knowing little about the play except the most basic description: It’s about a father who perhaps goes too far in letting his son know he’s OK with his homosexuality.

I assumed it was a farce, but this is a sweet, funny and truthful play. It is indeed about a father and a gay son, and that drives much of the plot, but it’s really about parent-child relationships, what it means to be either of those, and what those relationships owe each other.

ActorsNET of Bucks County in Morrisville Pennsylvania, is presenting “The Sum of Us” through June 17, and this is a charming, touching production with four excellent actors.

“The Sum of Us” was first staged in the 1990s, and was adapted into a 1994 film starring Russell Crowe a few years before he became a star. The play is set in 1993, mostly in the home of Harry Mitchell (Tim Irvine) and his son Jeff (Daniel River). They live in the Australian town of Footscray, a suburb of Melbourne. Daniel is gay, something his father has always known. Jeff’s mother died in a car accident involving a drunk driver years earlier, and Harry has given his son a nice home and lots of support.

Harry is a plumber, and this father and son live an uneventful life, but they’re close, bonding over their love for each other, and football (what we Americans call Rugby). About the biggest complaints Jeff has is that his father doesn’t turn the faucets completely off and makes the same frozen meals over and over.

The father wants his son to be happy, and like many parents, he feels a need to give his son a push, to encourage him to take a chance on love and happiness. Greg hasn’t gotten over his last breakup, with a man named Kevin who moved to Sydney.

“A terrible thing happened to him, he fell in love,” Harry tells the audience. Now he’s afraid Jeff will spend his life alone, and Harry knows firsthand that’s not fun.

Jeff is smitten with Greg (Rocco Angelastro), who he met a bar and has a date with. Harry is a liberal parent, encouraging his son to bring his dates home and have them spend the night. As things get romantic between Jeff and Greg, Harry emerges from his room.

This leads to the play’s funniest scene.

Harry sits between Jeff and Greg, and let’s Greg knows he’s more than welcome to spend the night, and that Greg can call him Harry, even Dad, as they drink their Foster’s.

Harry is sad to learn that Greg isn’t out to his family. “This is Jeff’s home, if he can’t be himself here, where can he be?”

Harry says. It’s a wonderful line, and Irvine delivers it with sincerity and love.

Greg tells Jeff he has to leave, and this is where the play goes in unexpected directions. It’s not that Harry is annoying and over-stepping his boundaries. Sure, he hangs around a few minutes too long, but Greg is upset because he sees in Jeff and Harry’s relationship, what he doesn’t have—a father’s acceptance. “It hurts a bit,” Greg says. “It makes me feel guilty, about what we do.”

Angelastro gives the best performance in the play. He acts not only with his words but his entire body. He is clearly a man seeking things in life, love and acceptance, and yet he’s scared of getting them. He and River are great together, the sparks fly, not just out of physical attraction, but because these two people see the potential for true love in each other.

Act 2 opens on Christmas, and Jeff is in a funk. He’s been staying home a lot. He has his dad, and his “blokes” but he tells Harry, “There’s an empty part of my heart Dad, and it’s an important part,” River delivers the line perfectly.

Harry has started to date, through personal adds in the paper (ah, the ’90s).

He starts a relationship with Joyce (Laurie Hardy). He wants to marry her, but will See SUM OF US, Page 9B

‘The Music Man’ at Music Mountain Theatre

ew shows entertain a crowd like “The Music Man.” Meredith Wilson’s legendary 1957 musical has a terrific story, lots of laughs, romance, and great songs, some gentle and sweet, others rousing. Music Mountain Theatre in Lambertville is presenting “The Music Man” through June 24, with a production that is impressive and fun, but not perfect.

Set in 1912, the action begins on a train car filled with traveling salesmen. It’s a terrific opening, as the actors jostle their bodies about as if they’re riding a train. They share their secrets to success during the number “Rock Island,” where the dialogue is sung rapid-fire to the rhythm of the train.

Someone mentions Harold Hill, a con man ruining the sales business for everyone because he shows up in towns, swindles the residents out of all their money, and leaves counting his cash. The next salesmen to show up, even legitimate ones, are then run out of town.

As the train approaches River City, Iowa, one of the salesmen says it’s a hopeless town to succeed in. That prompts Harold Hill himself (played by Rhett Commodaro) to emerge from behind his newspaper and announce that all this talk of the town being a challenge inspires him to give River City a shot.

Upon arriving, Harold runs into his old friend Marcellus (played by David McCloughan Jr.). Marcellus has gone legit, settling into small town life and dating a local woman, Ethel Toffelmier (played by Laura Baker and Erin Looney on different nights). Harold’s scheme is to convince towns they need a boys band, selling instruments, uniforms, books, and promising to teach the kids to play.

Instead, he just sells the goods and leaves town. Marcellus tells Harold the billiard parlor has a new pool table, which leads to Harold warning the town of the dangers of pool in the brilliant number “Ya Got Trouble.”

There is a problem though, the billiard parlor is owned

by Mayor Shinn (played by David Whiteman), but he isn’t too bright and doesn’t pose much of a threat.

As Harold plans his scheme, he actually affects people’s lives for the better. He gets four men who do nothing but bicker to sing beautifully together. He helps build up the confidence of Winthrop, a young boy with a lisp, and he also encourages a troubled youth named Tommy Djilas (Tyler Hentz) to change his ways. Tommy, incidentally, is smitten with Zaneeta, the mayor’s daughter.

Meanwhile, Harold is falling for Marian Paroo (Elizabeth Honan), the town’s librarian, piano teacher and brother to Winthrop. Or is Harold scamming Marian? It

Rhett Commodaro leads the cast through “Ya Got Trouble” in “The Music Man.” turns out his typical con involves wooing the local music teacher because they know enough about music to see through Harold.

His plan works. As Act 2 finishes, Marian destroys evidence that Harold isn’t who he says he is, But I never felt Harold was touched by the good he was doing in town, or even that he was aware of it. Everything seems to be happening around Harold.

The music was a bit loud during Act 1, with the recording overwhelming the singing. Much better was the a capella number sung by the four bickering men — “Sincere.” Those four singers, Louis Palena, Erik Snyder, Roger Madding and Bill Weir, are terrific together, and didn’t have to contend with the recording.

Honan is the star of the evening, her voice is spectacular, and all of her numbers brought the house down. You’re not likely to hear songs like “Goodnight, My Someone,” and “Till There Was You” sung better. She also brings an intelligence and sincerity to the role, Honan’s acting is just as good as her singing.

Whiteman gets laughs as the befuddled mayor, particular a scene where he keeps trying to give a speech starting

with “Four score and seven years ago.” A funny running bit is the mayor and those four men asking Hill to see his license. Hill assures them he can get it right away, but distracts them with compliments and praise. That joke leads to the quartet singing a top-notch version of “Lida Rose.”

This production also includes what may be the best sets of Music Mountain Theatre’s inaugural season. The train set is clever, the town’s center is marked by building facades for the local bank, hotel and billiard hall. Also nice are small pieces that set scenes, such as Mary’s front door, and a foot bridge that plays a key scene. Most importantly, these different set pieces were set up quickly, which kept the pace of the evening swift, for the most part.

Also excellent are the costumes by Jordan Brennan and Travis Gawason, Brennan also directs, and does a nice job, especially with big numbers utilizing this big, and talented, company.

“The Music Man” continues at Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179 Lambertville, through June 24. For tickets and information, go to www.musicmountaintheatre.org; 609-397-3337.

Writing the book on Princeton’s eating clubs Clifford W. Zink, longtime Princeton resident, had a great time at Princeton University Reunions. He gave a talk on Friday afternoon, June 1, in McCosh 28 that attracted an estimated 140 people. On June 2, he dined at the eating clubs, greeted alumni with hugs and handshakes, and wore a big smile matching the smiles on the faces of the alumni reconnecting with their classmates.

Zink, however, is not a member of any Princeton class.

His Ivy League connection is a graduate degree from Columbia University. He never has been on Princeton University’s payroll as a faculty or staff member. He is neither a parent nor spouse nor son of a Princeton alumnus or alumna. His closest Princeton University connection prior to November, 2017 was the fact that he lives a few blocks from campus on Aiken Avenue.

Zink’s newfound PU celebrity occurred when the Princeton Prospect Foundation announced the publication of Zink’s book, “The Princeton Eating Clubs.”

During reunions, Sandy Harrison, a member of Princeton’s class of ’74, and board chair of the Princeton Prospect Foundation, was distributing fliers describing the book as “captivating.” with photographs both old and new that describe “for the first time, the origins, evolution, and

But the book, now in its second printing, has nothing to do with feelings or sociology or politics or culture of the eating clubs, even though famous women’s rights barrier-

breaking alumna Sally Frank attended Clifford’s lecture at Reunions. In 1979, Frank, class of ’80, filed a lawsuit against Ivy Club, Tiger Inn, and Cottage Club because they did not accept women. In 1990, the Supreme Court of New Jersey, arguing that the clubs are public facilities, ordered the last two remaining male-only undergraduate clubs at Princeton University to begin admitting women.

The book is a meticulously researched documentation of bricks, mortar and architectural history of the clubs.

Even without the sturm und drang of the clubs’ human behavioral history, the publication, in my opinion, is a glorious page turner for the images and trivia about buildings that I have looked at for 40 years, even written about extensively in the context of town/gown relations. Thanks to Zink, I now appreciate Prospect Avenue as a street museum of art, architecture and history.

Thanks to Harrison’s editorial input, each “club” chapter has a section listing notable alumni whose contributions to society are collectively mind-boggling. The name that stood out for me in the context of the current political climate was that of Robert Mueller, class of ’66, and member of Cottage Club.

The Princeton Prospect Foundation chose Zink for the project, because of his reputation as an historic preservation consultant and an historian specializing in architectural, industrial, engineering, and landscape history. He assists clients in preserving, rehabilitating, and interpreting historic sites, and has received historic preservation awards for numerous projects from state, county and local agencies.

Zink received the 2011 John A. Roebling Award from the Society for Industrial Archeology’s Roebling Chapter for an outstanding contribution to documenting the industrial heritage of the greater New York-New Jersey area. His seven books have received six awards, including and the 2012 New Jersey Author’s Award in popular nonfiction from the N. J. Studies Academic Alliance for The Roebling Legacy.

The original purpose of the Eating Club project, according to both Zink and Harrison, was unrelated to a goal

Sum of Us Continued from Page 2B Joyce accept his son? That’s the crux of their scene, and Hardy and Irvine play it perfectly.

John Boccanfuso and Hayley RubinsTopoleski co-directed and also designed the fine set. By the end, one character has pretty much given up, while the other thinks things will work out. And I cared

about these characters so much, that I have my fingers crossed that the latter is right.

“The Sum of Us” is being performed at The Heritage Center Theatre, 635 Delmorr Ave., Morrisville, Pennsylvania through June 17. Performances: Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sat. 2 p.m. Tickets cost $20, $17 seniors (62 and up); www.actorsnetbucks.org; 215-295-3694.

Loose Ends Continued from Page 8B of publishing a book. In 2016, the Prospect Foundation contacted Zink to bolster the permanent documentation on file with the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.

The clubs are listed as significant contributing properties within the historic district, but Zink said the descriptions of the clubs architectural and historic significance were thin and not holistic.

“The clubs have put out commemorative books individually, but nothing lately and nothing looking at all of them — no one collected the full story of the history and architecture, “ he said.

“Before this book, never had there been a book that comprehensively described the early evolution of the clubs with a particular emphasis on their architecturally significant design and features,” Harrison said.

When Zink submitted the information comprising comprehensive facts, artwork, and photos (old, new and even photos captured by drones), the Prospect Foundation decided the information and visuals were so compelling that they had to be preserved as a book. Zink, who has authored several beautiful historic and architectural books, was tasked with creating a publication that was academically credible but informational, and aesthetically appealing to a non-academic audience. In March, 2017, he began compiling the book, which went on sale in November, 2017.

For me, however, it is difficult to separate the stripes from the tiger — or the architectural and historic significance of the buildings from the people and activities within the physical structures. The New

York Times article about the Sally Frank decision cites F. Scott Fitzgerald’s description of Ivy Club as being “detached and breathlessly aristocratic.”

I wondered whether something about the club physically perpetuated that reputation. Or did Cottage Club’s spectacular library — a replica of the 16th-century Merton Library at Oxford University — contribute to the creativity of F. Scott Fitzgerald (who was a member of Cottage Club) or to the investigative genius and discipline of Robert Mueller?

Even Harrison, a member of Terrace Club, was unable to describe Terrace Club’s unique physical characteristics (the only club on Washington Road and the only structure that previously was a professor’s home, that of John Hibben) without talking about the club’s personality. It is a non-bicker club (anyone can join), said Harrison, and always has been on “the progressive leading edge” on social issues. In addition, Terrace is renowned for its music culture — the best live music scene on campus, “a premier small music venue in New Jersey,” Harrison said..

And Sally Frank probably was smiling during Reunions as she strolled along Prospect because she not only was reconnecting with old friends, but also was aware of the fact that nine of the 11 clubs have women as their presidents.

I vote for a sequel that gets into the heart and soul, the warts and beauty marks that have infused the bricks and mortar of the Princeton Eating Clubs for the past 140 years.

The book is for sale at Labyrinth Books, 162 Nassau St., Princeton.

A. 1: Knowledge of this area, Alice’s experience in real estate and Kelley’s knowledge of today’s technology, we make a unique team. 2: Again, it’s our company’s tools that are outstanding for marketing your home or purchasing a house you can call home. 3.

It’s our mission to provide outstanding service, after all this is one of your biggest life decisions.

Q

. What do you do in your freetime when you are not working?

A. Kelley works mostly, but enjoys fishing, the outdoors, the Jersey shore and family – and of course her cats! Alice is extremely talented in crafting with gourds, gardening and loves spending time with her dogs, grandchildren and her children – in that order.

Q

253 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542

. What do you like most about living in the area you also work?

A. We both love the country but love the convenience of being close to town, we love where we live and work and want you to as well! That is our goal. For us it’s a FAMILY TRADITION!
