Dems win unopposed primary race, Republican gets write-ins By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Hopewell Borough’s Democratic Party voters have spoken, and Samara McAuliffe and Debra Stuhler will be the two Democratic Party nominees for two open seats on Hopewell Borough Council. In the absence of Democratic Party candidates for the two seats, McAuliffe and Stuhler launched a write-in campaign for the June 5 primary election. Neither the
Democratic Party nor the Republican Party nominated candidates for borough council. Stuhler was the top vote-getter with 176 votes, followed by McAuliffe with 170 votes in the Democratic Party primary. For the Republican party, Mark Bovenizer received six write-in votes. Incumbent borough council members Debra Lehman and Shelby Tewell decided not to seek re-election.
McAuliffe grew up in Hopewell Borough and Hopewell Township, and moved back to Hopewell Borough in 2004. She is a human resources adviser for a Hopewell Borough advisory firm. McAuliffe has volunteered in many capacities. She was the secretary of the Hopewell Harvest Fair Board in 2011 and 2016, and now serves on the leadership team for Mercer County Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
She also served as the Hopewell Borough Democratic Municipal chair from 2012 to 2014, and as the treasurer of the Hopewell Valley Democratic Club - a post from which she has stepped down to run for borough council. Stuhler has lived in Hopewell Borough since 2002. She is a project manager at Merrill Lynch/ Bank of America, where she has worked for the past 20 years. Stuhler volunteered with
the Hopewell Harvest Fair, and served as the board president for four years. She also chaired the celebrations marking the 125th anniversary of Hopewell Borough. She has served on the Hopewell Valley Education Foundation. Along with other volunteers, Stuhler started the Hopewell Block Party in 2006, which is an annual community gathering that helps strengthen relationships within Hopewell Borough.
Local school partners with Princeton U. sustainable farming project By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent
A partnership between Hopewell Elementary School and Princeton University is bringing a new scientific initiative to the school district’s younger pupils by giving them a new learning experience while also providing fresh produce for lunches. Princeton University’s Vertical Farming Project is providing the school with fully functioning hydroponic towers that introduce “cutting-edge scientific educational opportunities for elementary students” and has encouraged the school’s ongoing farm-to-cafeteria program, officials said. Vertical farming is the process of planting and growing various produce in vertically stacked layers, such as hydroponic towers, all in a soilless environment. This allows for more produce to be grown year-round and in a smaller space. The school currently has six indoor towers where lettuce, an array of herbs and other produce are grown using a sponge pod instead of soil, and LED lights to mimic sunlight. According to Dr. Paul Gauthier, founder and director of the Princeton Vertical Farming Project, the initiative was created in 2017 with a goal of promoting sustainability and advanced science. “Our goal at Princeton was to create a system to really try to understand how we can recycle [and] what kind of new practice we can get to almost not have any impact on the environment. And that’s what we’ve really focused on,” he said. To help with the cost of the program, Hopewell Elementary secured multiple grants from Sustainable Jersey, New Jersey Education Association, BASF Corporation, Hopewell Valley Education Foundation and Hopewell Elementary School PTO. “We’re using those funds to
purchase a more permanent vertical farm project,” Hopewell Elementary Principal David Friedrich said. “We envision the towers as being more portable, whereas this is going to be a lot more permanent.” Vertical farming has many benefits as opposed to traditional farming, Friedrich said. In addition to using less physical space and no seasonal limitations, farming in a soilless environment allows for 95 percent less water to be used. Traditional farming, Gauthier said, can put stress on the plants — insects and organisms can attack the roots and the sun can damage the leaves. “We were taught in school that plants need water and sunlight and nutrients that come from soil, and we’re showing that soil really isn’t required for growing,” Friedrich said. “So we supplement with other nutrients.” The partnership will allow children from preschool to fifth grade to see exactly where their food comes from, and will provide them with “fresh, organic produce for lunch and an invaluable introduction to hands-on scientific development,” according to a press release. Helen Corveleyn, who teaches fifth grade at Hopewell Elementary, oversees the indoor towers and the outdoor garden beds. She was first introduced to vertical farming after attending a conference at Princeton University over the summer, where Gauthier helped her realize she wanted to bring the program to Hopewell Elementary. “I just looked at it and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is what I’ve been looking for,’” she said. During this time, Corveleyn was interested in reviving the elementary school’s greenhouse, but, before vertical farming, she had yet to find something that fit with the school’s budget. “I want kids to be able to apSee PARTNERSHIP, Page 3A

District administrator earns recognition By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent
Hopewell Valley Regional School District Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas A. Smith received recognition from his peers when the Mercer County Association of School Administrators (MCASA) named him the 2018 Superintendent of the Year. Since 2009, Smith has served as the district’s superintendent, making him one of the longest tenured district leaders in the county, according to the MCASA. The organization said in its
announcement that Smith’s “student-centered” style of leadership and implementation of new programs have since sparked discussions within the Hopewell Valley community and given the district “many examples of achievement in academics, the arts and athletics.” “Dr. Smith is widely respected and highly regarded throughout the county and state. He is truly a student-centered educational leader who is passionate about his work and has served as a mentor to new superintendents,” West Windsor-Plainsboro Superinten-
dent of Schools David Aderhold said. “Dr. Smith is an outstanding selection as Mercer’s Superintendent of the Year.” Officials also praised Smith’s ability to get a $35 million bond referendum passed to help modernize the school district, as well as a “Call to Action” the superintendent established that aimed to bring awareness to mental health issues and teen suicide prevention. “I think it’s no secret that we have a lot of kids who are strug-

THE CRUX OF BRUXISM
According to the American Sleep Association, 10 percent of U.S. adults and 15 percent of children grind their teeth at night, making “bruxism” one of the most common sleep disorders. Because nocturnal bruxism can expose teeth to levels of force of 250-500 pounds per square inch (psi) or more, the habit can not only erode enamel and chip teeth, but it can also damage dental restorations such as bridges and crowns. It is therefore important to manage bruxism, which may be caused by stress or sleep apnea. If you also have improper tooth and/or jaw alignment, the damage can be even greater. Until crooked teeth of the upper and lower dental arches find a comfortable resting position, the jaws of those afflicted with malocclusion will constantly shift during the night. Most people experience occasional bruxism. If the behavior is infrequent or mild, then often treatment will not be necessary. However, if it persists, you need to seek advice from your dentist or orthodontist, as the condition could become serious and pose a real threat to your healthy smile. To schedule a consultation, please call the office of MARK W. McDONOUGH, DMD, LLC, at 609-730-1414. The office is located at 245 South Main Street (next to Toll Gate Grammar School), Pennington.
P.S. Because the person grinding his or her teeth is usually unaware that he or she is doing so, bruxism can remain undetected for years until complications develop.

Resident receives Boy Scout District Award of Merit By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent
Vince Lauricella, a Pennington resident who has been involved with the Boy Scouts for decades, recently earned the District Award of Merit by the Mercer Area District of the Boy Scouts for his work with Boy Scout Troop 1776. Having earned an Eagle Scout title as a youth before taking on leadership positions at the troop in 2004, Lauricella has served as the troop’s Cub Scout leader and has since become Troop 1776’s scoutmaster. Through these positions, he has been able to provide the troop with exciting and memorable cycling and backpacking trips in California; Oregon; the Adirondack Mountains; Ontario, Canada; Maryland; Washington, D.C, and Pittsburgh. After dedicating so much of his life to the Boy Scouts, Lauricella said he feels “honored” to receive the District Award of Merit. He said earning the award does not come easily for “scouters,” since it only goes out to three people per
year. “I feel like I don’t put the time in and do what I do for notoriety,” he said. “The satisfaction is having an impact in the lives of young people, but certainly, it’s nice to be recognized occasionally…I greatly appreciate that the scouters thought I was worthy of receiving that recognition.” Lauricella was nominated by friend and fellow Scouter Rich Mendelsohn, who said his dedication has been his “life’s mission.” “Countless camping trips, merit badges and High Adventure Trips into the wilderness has given these young men the experience and confidence to become great leaders and better citizens,” Mendelsohn said. “I am proud to call Vince a friend and fellow Scouter.” While scouting has been a major part of Lauricella’s life, he said he’s since passed down his passion for scouting to his children, Anna and Andrew. Lauricella said he became a founding member of a Venturing Crew — a co-ed group that allows girls to participate in simi-

gling with mental health, and we wanted to take the stigma away,” Smith said. “We wanted to do this call to action and say, ‘It’s OK, if you need help, let us know and we’re going to help and provide resources for it.’ “ Prior to receiving his Master’s degree in special education and educational Aadministration from The College of New Jersey, Ewing, Smith earned his Bachelor’s degree in film and television. His switch in paths, he said, was sparked by working with the Special Olympics. “I really made a connection with the students and people involved,” he said. “I was really looking for something that would make me feel like I was giving back to society.” According to the MCASA, Smith began teaching in the West WindsorPlainsboro School District before moving to a district administrative position in the Spotswood School District in Middlesex County. He later returned to West Windsor-Plainsboro as an assistant superintendent prior to becoming Hopewell Valley’s superintendent. Before Smith, the last educational leader to re-
ceive the title was Michael Nitti, of Ewing, in 2015. Smith said his recognition by MCASA was “gratifying.” “It’s nice to be recognized by your peers, but you don’t do it for the recognition,” he said. “The support of the school board means a lot to me, the support from administrators means a lot to me more than any award.”
lar Boy Scout activities — so his daughter could get involved. His son, like Lauricella, is also an Eagle Scout. “All the years when [Andrew] was involved in scouting, [Anna] would get to hear about all the great things he was doing and she wasn’t able to do those things,” Lauricella said. Some of those things the troop was partaking in were High Adventure Trips, which, Lauricella said, are “ambitious, outdoor week-to-10-day trips,” where the boys are able to immerse themselves in the outdoors, while learning valuable lessons of leadership. “They’re very youthled,” he said. “We have a committee of Scouts and
they research the possible places we can go, and they ultimately decide where they want to go. We’re really teaching them they have the ability to plan really ambitious trips of their own.” After passing on his experiences and wisdom to hundreds of other Scouts, Lauricella hopes to continue to lead by example and make a positive impact in the lives of the Boy Scouts. “The biggest thing with being an adult leader is to lead by example, so I’m always cognizant of the example that I set [and] how I’m perceived by the youth,” he said. “I think that’s the biggest part — portraying yourself as a positive role model for young people.”

vertical farming won’t completely replace traditional farming, but trusts that it is part of the solution to promote these advanced methods of farming. The partnership is an expansion of Hopewell Elementary’s sustainability efforts in recent years, such as an organic lunch menu, which is now in its third year. “[Public] schools aren’t known for high-quality lunches, and we really wanted to change that,” Friedrich said. “Part of that is educating our students where vegetables and herbs

proach food and approach hydroponics and be able to have this experience at a really young age,” she added. For Gauthier, these experiences can provide students of all ages valuable lessons. “Our parents were taught in school how to sew and how to cut wood or how to cook, so why not teach [children today] how to vertical farm?” he said. “It’s not complicated to do it, it’s just a new way to think.” Gauthier believes that
come from, and research clearly states that the more involved students are — the more hands-on they are and how willing they are to try new foods early in their lives — leads to some really nice successes as they get older.” The organic menu is currently offered twice a week and features organic produce, such as bok choy, which is grown at Hopewell Elementary. Next year, the menu will be offered three times a week, Friedrich said. The permanent vertical farming structures, Fried-
rich said, will be placed off of the school’s cafeteria to “make a logical connection between the growing, the harvesting and the infusing in [the] menu.” Those at Hopewell Elementary believe the project will have a lasting impact on the students. “[The project] means hope for our kids in the future; it means hope for kids to learn about locally sourced food and where it comes from and it gives me hope for innovative science,” Corveleyn said.

chipped and taken away. As collections continue, brush that is causing a safety hazard for drivers or is blocking storm sewers will continue to receive priority removal. Despite these steps, it will take time to complete the job. Our public works crew is dedicated to helping all of us in Hopewell Township. When it rains, they are the ones standing in ditches to keep our roads from flooding. When it snows, they are the ones out before dawn plowing so we can continue with our daily activities. When it is windy, they are the ones removing trees from our streets. Day after day, the crew does an outstanding job, and I thank them for everything that they do and appreciate the pride they take in doing their best work. I understand there is frustration that all brush has not been collected. But please be assured the job will be done. And after all brush has been collected, I am going to sit down with our public works team to review lessons learned and to develop a plan to handle high brush collection in the years to come.
Affordable housing rental units can count as two credits towards our affordable housing obligation. It is my understanding that we are at our rental bonus cap. Second, 100 percent affordable housing eliminates the associated market rate units. The township has already signed contracts to allow for the construction of 653 affordable units and at least 2,881 market rate units. And we do know where they will be built. At least 78 affordable units and 300 market rate homes will be built behind Shoprite and 2,070 market rate units will be built on Scotch Road. The township’s housing stock will grow by more than 50 percent, new children will swell school enrollments, undoubtedly reversing the recent demographic changes in our school population. And these new units are likely to lead to significant additional property taxes to pay for increased municipal services. The township should have these demographic and financial projections in hand, but they have not yet shared them with the public despite repeated requests. I am left to wonder if they even assembled them before they acted. Meanwhile, cheerleaders are celebrating committee actions in the absence of this key information. A 2013 study (Douglas S. Massey, Climbing Mount Laurel: The Struggle for Affordable Housing and Social Mobility in an American Suburb, Princeton University Press) of a 100 percent affordable housing development in New Jersey found that such housing “had no adverse effect on crime in the community, municipal property taxes, property values in the community, and specifically property values in adjacent neighborhoods.” I urge members of the committee to read the book. The current committee cannot blame others for the contracts they themselves have signed. They were the committee charged to act, given the timing of the court processes. They all campaigned against over-development. They broke that pledge by reaching these ill-conceived agreements in secret. And so, I raise my simple questions yet again: Before they signed the contracts with developers, what alternatives did they investigate? What investigations did they conduct? Did they examine each alternative’s longterm impact on township budgets? And while I am waiting for the answers, a new question: did they or the school district estimate the demographic impact on Hopewell Valley Schools?
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Committeeman calls for patience in brush removal To the editor: Hopewell Township’s Public Works Department is responsible for clearing brush throughout 58 square miles of our primarily rural township. Two pickups are scheduled each year, in May and October. In most years, this schedule works well and our public works crews are able to do their jobs quickly and efficiently. But this has not been a normal year. We have seen an unprecedented series of nor’easters, snowstorms, and flooding rains in the first five months of 2018. This has led to an enormous amount of brush. In Spring 2017, public works collected 2,000 cubic yards of brush, and an additional 3,000 cubic yards in the fall. As of last week, public works collected 5,100 cubic yards of brush and estimates the total amount may be as high as 12,000 cubic yards. That is more than twice the amount collected in all of 2017. While the workload has increased by a factor of six, the number of public works employees remains the same. And while picking up brush is a priority, public works must address other township priorities as well, including pothole repair, removal of dangerous trees, clearing drainage inlets clogged after storms so we are ready for the next storm, and making emergency repairs to township roads and bridges damaged by events such as last week’s floods. I know the public works crew, led by George Snyder and Dave Guerard, has risen to the challenge. The crews have been working overtime on storm-related issues. Our Public Works Director and General Foreman have been on township roads helping to pick up brush. The township will be renting additional equipment on a short-term basis. In addition to the brush storage location behind the township building—which is rapidly filling up—we are planning to temporarily store brush at Pennytown. This will not only solve the short-term storage issue, but will also mean that crews working at the northern end of the township will not have to drive all the way to the township building to empty trucks, saving more than 30 minutes on every trip and providing more time to collect brush. All brush at the township building and at Pennytown will be

My questions remain unanswered To the editor: The Hopewell Township Committee cancelled its May 29 meeting. As a result, my questions about affordable housing alternatives investigated by the township remain unanswered. Perhaps the mayor will soon present the answers here. In my recent letters to the editor, I have advocated for the building of 100 percent affordable housing in one or two of the sites designated for affordable housing. The 100 percent option is not unprecedented. Indeed, it has become the most popular municipal option and the subject of a recent book. According to COAH statistics, more than onehalf of the affordable units built in New Jersey are 100 percent affordable. There are at least two reasons for the popularity of this option. First, COAH rules permit a rental bonus, up to a cap.

‘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.

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

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.

The challenges with todays real estate market are educating the public on real estate relationships and the importance of working with a human rather than a virtual realtor or these new discount brokers.

Q
. What are the buyers/sellers advantage to be working with you? A. From Princeton we reach the WORLD and with us you get 2 Realtors working twice as hard for you. We have strong family values and we are lifelong residents as well as experts in Mercer, Somerset, Hunterdon and Middlesex Counties.

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!
