Princeton school board introduces 2021-22 budget By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

The Princeton Public Schools Board of Education introduced a $96.3 million operating budget for the 2021-22 school year at its March 16 meeting. The budget, which carries a 2-cent increase in the school district property tax, is $700,000 more than the 2020-21 operating budget of $95.6 million. A public hearing and final action on the budget is set for the school board’s April 27 meeting. It has been sent to the Mercer County Executive Superintendent of Schools for review. The 2021-22 operating budget calls for $80.8 million to be raised in property taxes from Princeton’s residential and commercial property owners to support the spending plan. The proposed tax levy is an increase of $1.2 million over the current budget. A 2-cent increase in the school district property tax rate means it will increase from $1.18 to $1.20 per $100 of assessed value. The owner of a home assessed at the town average of $841,064 would pay $10,125.50 in school district property taxes. This is an increase of $174.29 over the current tax levy of $9,950.21 for that property. A home assessed at $650,000 would pay $7,824.19 in school district property taxes, or $134.69 more than the current property tax of $7,689.50. The proposed budget “returns us to normal,” said Interim Superintendent of Schools Barry Galasso. It represents an opportunity to develop a “robust” summer program for students who lost time in the classroom because of COVID-19, he said. The summer program will focus on academics, as well

as social and emotional learning to help students reconnect, Galasso said. Students were sent home to learn remotely last spring in an effort to tamp down the spread of COVID-19. Hybrid learning – a mixture of in-person and remote learning – was instituted in the fall. “I think this budget represents the quality that the Princeton community expects, and it is also respectful of the taxpayers,” Galasso said. The local tax levy accounts for 87% of revenue for the school district. State aid makes up 7% of the budget and tuition from the Cranbury School District equals 5% of revenue. Miscellaneous revenue, including tuition paid by staff members who live out of town and who send their children to the Princeton schools, is 1%. In addition to the local tax levy, other sources of revenue for the 2021-22 budget include $4.5 million in state aid, which is an increase of $296,017 over the current budget. The board will use $3.3 million in fund balance, or savings, as revenue in the budget. Another source of revenue is $5.1 million in tuition to be paid by the Cranbury School District, which sends its high school student to Princeton High School. Cranbury does not have its own high school. On the expense side, the budget appropriates $72.7 million for salaries and benefits. This is an increase of $1.2 million over the 71.2 million appropriated for the 2020-21 budget. The school board has appropriated $7.1 million for the Princeton Charter School, which is an increase of $362,319 over the 2020-21 tuition payment. Tuition for special education students whose needs cannot be met by the Princeton Public Schools and who are sent to specialized schools outside of the district is budgeted at $3.2 million, which is $215,095 less than the current budget.

Mark Palzer, commanding general of the Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division, third from right, pay their respects to President Grover Cleveland during a wreath-laying ceremony March 18 hosted by the 99th RD at the former president’s gravesite in Princeton Cemetery.

On a damp and chilly day, a handful of soldiers from the U.S. Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division, along with Princeton Mayor Mark Freda, gathered to lay a wreath at the grave of former U.S. President Grover Cleveland in the Princeton Cemetery. The annual ceremony was held March 18, on what would have been Cleveland’s 184th birthday. Cleveland is the only president to have served two nonconsecutive terms; the Democrat served from 1884-88 and from 1892-96. Cleveland settled in Princeton after he left the White House in 1897. He purchased Westland at 15 Hodge Road and became involved in town matters. He became a trustee of Princeton University. He died in 1908 of a heart attack. The wreath-laying ceremony, hosted by the U.S. Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division, is managed by the

Sgt. First Class Earl Bonner and Sgt. First Class Timothy Quandt guard President Glover Cleveland’s burial site.

White House Military Office. The White House Military Office is responsible for coordinating the annual placement of presidential wreaths at tombs and resting places of former presidents and other famous Americans, and at certain memorials of historic significance. Freda welcomed the small group. He said he was honored that Cleveland had chosen Princeton as his retirement home, and that it is an honor that the Princeton Cemetery was chosen as his final resting place. During the ceremony, musician/soldiers from the 78th Army Band, part of the 99th Readiness Division, played the national anthem and “Taps.” Maj. Gen. Mark Palzer, the 99th Readiness Division’s commanding general, said one of Cleveland’s greatest accomplishments was welcoming the placement of the Statue of Liberty in 1886, commemorating the centennial of the United States of America.

“During the dedication ceremony, President Cleveland said, ‘We will not forget that Liberty has made her home here, nor shall her chosen alter be neglected. Willing votaries will constantly keep alive its fires,’ ” Palzer said. Those “willing votaries” at the 2 million-plus Active, Guard and Reserve soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and government civilians, he said. The Statue of Liberty is a symbol that is inspirational, and that shows that the United States is worth fighting for, Palzer said. Americans, both civilian and military, fight for American ideals. America breeds patriotism, he said. “The Statue of Liberty will endure not just because of its physical presence, but because it evokes the spirit of freedom and liberty, which makes us Americans. May she forever hold her flame aloft,” Palzer said. • This article was provided by the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service.

CALENDAR Ongoing

The Mercer County Park Commission announced the third year of “Eyes on Eagles” programming to celebrate the four pairs of bald eagles that nest in Mercer County, including two pairs that have chosen county parks for nest sites. The Park Commission, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey (CWF) and the Wildlife Center Friends are partnering to host both in-person and virtual eagle viewing programs throughout the spring nesting season. In-person public nest viewing programs will be held at the West Picnic Area at Mercer County Park. Naturalists and guides will be on hand to help the public safely view bald eagles with spotting scopes for a closer look. “Eyes on Eagles” in-person nest viewings will be held on the second Sunday and fourth Friday of the month, from 1-3 p.m., through May 9. Masks and social distancing are required. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Two virtual “Eyes on Eagles” panel discussions will offer an even closer look at life in the nest on April 29 and June 3 at 7 p.m. The Park Commission will air up-to-date video footage of the nest featuring two important stages in eaglet development. During the Zoom-based program, expert panelists will supply commentary on eagle behavior, biology and conservation. Registration is required for these free public programs by visiting http://mercercountyparks. org/?utm_medium=email&utm_ source=govdelivery#!/activities/eyeseagles For the safety of the eagles, all viewing will be done from a distance. Bald eagles and many bird species are sensitive during their nesting season. Park patrons must remain on marked trails at all times; disturbance to wildlife will cause harm, where they may refuse to return in the future. Public programs will provide important tips to park users on “eagle etiquette,” including information on federal regulations prohibiting the disturbance of bald eagle nests. Local and regional wildlife photographers are encouraged to share their images of the breeding eagles through email or social media. Images can be emailed to parksinfo@mercercounty.org with the

photographer’s name, or shared through social media by tagging or mentioning the Mercer County Park Commission on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. If posting pictures of eagles in Mercer County parks, tag the Park Commission and use the hashtag #capitalcountyeagles. Credit will be given to the photographers if outside photos are shared. To learn more about bald eagle programming opportunities, visit www.mercercountyparks.org or www.conservewildlifenj.org. Stuart Country Day School’s Summer Camp registration is open.

HEALTH MATTERS

ria arch  

By Rebecca Keller, PT, MSPT, PRPC

Taking Control of Your Pelvic Health

n the United States, millions of people in all age groups are affected by a pelvic floor disorder that disrupts their daily life, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). And unfortunately many people live with the symptoms for months – or even years – before seeking treatment. However, once diagnosed, pelvic floor disorders are often able to be managed or reversed with treatment, including physical therapy. If you have pelvic pain or are concerned about bladder or bowel control, you may have a pelvic floor disorder. The Center for Pelvic Wellness at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center offers highly specialized treatments for people age 7 and older affected by pelvic floor disorders. Signs and Symptoms The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that form a sling or hammock across the pelvis. Together with the surrounding tissues, these muscles hold the pelvic organs in place. The pelvic organs include the bladder, urethra, intestines and rectum. In women, they also include the uterus, cervix and vagina. A pelvic floor disorder typically occurs when the muscles or connective tissues of the pelvic area are weakened or injured, causing symptoms such as: • Hesitancy with starting to urinate or emptying the bladder • Frequent urges to urinate or urinary tract infections • Leaking urine when sneezing, coughing, laughing or exercising • Pain when urinating • Leaking stool or difficulty controlling gas • Constipation • Seeing or feeling a bulge or heaviness from the vagina • Pain in the pelvis, hip, abdomen, thigh or lower back • Erectile dysfunction • Pain with intercourse Although all genders may be affected, women are particularly vulnerable to pelvic floor disorders. In addition, children can also experience pelvic floor

disorders. Common signs of a pelvic floor disorder in children include constipation and bed-wetting. Causes According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the main cause of pelvic floor disorders is pregnancy and vaginal childbirth. Other causes, according to ACOG and the NIH, include: • Conditions that put pressure on the abdomen. These include being overweight or obese, chronic constipation or chronic straining to have a bowel movement, heavy lifting, chronic coughing from smoking or health problems. • Getting older. The pelvic floor muscles can weaken with age and with menopause. • Having weaker tissues. Some people are born with conditions that affect the strength of the connective tissues that make up the pelvic floor. • Surgery. Previous hysterectomy and prior pelvic floor surgery are associated with higher risks of pelvic floor disorders. • Race. Certain groups of women, such as White or Latina women, appear to be a higher risk for some pelvic floor disorders. Just as the muscles in the rest of your body can become tight, so can the muscles in your pelvic floor, which can lead to pain and dysfunction. Anxiety, stress, poor posture and the way you breathe can all also affect your pelvic floor. Treatment If you experience signs of a pelvic floor disorder, talk to your doctor. Treatment can help relieve symptoms and enable you to take back control. At the Center for Pelvic Wellness, with locations in Plainsboro and Monroe, treatment includes a comprehensive exam, fluid and dietary education, pelvic floor physical therapy and collaboration with physicians for other treatment options including medication and surgery. Physical therapy for pelvic floor disorders can help people regain awareness, control, and coordination of their pelvic floor muscles. Therapy typically involves exercises to stretch and strengthen the pelvic floor and core muscles along with

tools like biofeedback, real time ultrasound, lasers, and electrical stimulation to make you more aware of the correct way to use your pelvic floor muscles. Physical therapists may also teach you breathing techniques to support the pelvic floor and work with you to identify and correct postural problems. In addition, as part of its ongoing community education programming, Princeton Health Community Wellness offers health, fitness, and pelvic health education for adults and children. Prevention Pelvic floor disorders may not be entirely preventable, but there are steps you can take to improve your pelvic function and stay healthy. • Exercise. Staying physically active can help you maintain a healthy weight and take pressure off your pelvic floor. Exercises that focus on contracting, relaxing, and elongating your pelvic muscles are also beneficial. • Avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol, which tend to stimulate the bladder. • Eat a well balanced diet, rich in fruits and vegetables. Increasing the amount of fiber in your diet and staying hydrated may help relieve constipation. • Practice mindfulness. Being mindful of your posture, your breathing, and your stress levels can help support your pelvic health. Breathing exercises can also help relax your mind and body, and have a positive effect on the pelvic floor muscles. Most important, don’t ignore signs of a pelvic floor disorder in the hope they’ll go away on their own. By seeking treatment early, you can regain function and control so that you can return to the activities that you enjoy.

To schedule an appointment at the Center for Pelvic Wellness, call 609-395-3020. The center is accepting appointments at its Monroe location.

CosmeticforDentistry CLASSIC SMILES

Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. WHY BABY TEETH ARE IMPORTANT Since our primary set of teeth (usually called “baby teeth”) have all fallen out by puberty, it is easy to think that they don’t really matter in terms of life-long dental health; however, that is simply not the case. Primary teeth are essentially place holders for adult teeth and their job is to guide our permanent teeth into place. When a baby tooth is lost prematurely because of tooth decay or trauma, the teeth around it can move or tilt into that open space, leaving less room for the new tooth to grow in. This can block the adult tooth or cause it to come in crooked. It also may make the process uncomfortable if not painful. Scheduling visits to the dentist early on is one of the best way to keep an eye on how tooth development is progressing. When it’s time

for their first visit, satisfy your children’s natural curiosity by telling them that the dentist is first going to count their teeth, then take their picture, clean them, and see that they are healthy. We believe that a healthy smile is important at any age. Call soon for an appointment at 609-924-8300, Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.” “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.” Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com P.S. Cavities left untreated in primary teeth may cause an infection that can damage permanent teeth and alter their development.

Amphibians on the move!

he days are longer and warmer, an unmistakable cue to New Jersey’s hibernating amphibians – frogs, salamanders and toads – that it’s time to leave their winter hideaways and start mating. The first warm, rainy nights of spring produce a frenzy of amphibian activity, as spotted salamanders, Jefferson salamanders, wood frogs and spring peepers emerge from below ground and head straight to vernal pools to breed. It’s not a long way – perhaps a few hundred yards – but it can be dangerous for the amphibians, according to David Wheeler, executive director of the nonprofit Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey. “For them, it’s a journey after being stationary all winter. They’re just waking up, so to speak.” Not only are amphibians operating at less than full strength, in many cases they must cross busy roadways. “New Jersey is the most densely populated state, so we have roads bisecting their winter areas and vernal pools,” Wheeler said. With the help of volunteers, the Conserve Wildlife Foundation for nearly 20 years has played “amphibian crossing guard” at key locations in Warren and Sussex counties, slowing or stopping traffic to make sure the critters don’t get run over. Last year, the amphibian migration was already underway when COVID-19 forced the Conserve Wildlife Foundation to cut back its amphibian crossing program. This year, Wheeler said, the program will continue, but with a reduced number of volunteers who will wear masks and keep a safe distance apart.

The exact date the amphibians start moving is unpredictable: It can be as early as February if the winter is mild, or as late as April if the ground is still partly frozen or covered with snow. A rainy or misty night with temperatures in the mid-40s or above is ideal. Darkness and rain help the amphibians move without being detected by predators like owls and raccoons. At the peak, hundreds or even thousands of amphibians will move simultaneously toward the same pool. The full migration usually takes place over the course of three to six nights – not necessarily consecutive – with perfect weather conditions. Amphibians breed in vernal pools, also known as intermittent or ephemeral ponds, to achieve the best survival odds for their eggs and tadpoles. Vernal pools dry up each summer, so they don’t support fish that would otherwise eat up all the eggs and larvae. The word “vernal” means “of, in, or appropriate to spring.” Vernal pools get their water from snowmelt, rain and rising groundwater, so they’re at their fullest in spring. New Jersey has an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 vernal pools, and most should have plenty of water this spring because of February’s record-breaking snows. Want to see this amazing natural spectacle? The best place to go is Beekman Road in East Brunswick, which is closed to traffic on peak amphibian migration nights. The East Brunswick Environmental Commission encourages members of the public to come out to watch and take photos as salamanders and frogs cross the road to get to See AMPHIBIANS, Page 7A

Mercer County Military Action Council supports military personnel, their families Two Mercer County residents with ties to the Armed Forces have founded the Mercer County Military Action Council (MCMAC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the service members and the mission of Joint Base McGuire-DixLakehurst (JB MDL), as well as active-duty personnel, reservists, guardsmen, veterans and their respective families living in local towns. Regina Arcuri of Robbinsville and William “Bill” Cleave of Pennington, both honorary commanders at JB MDL, created this nonprofit organization in January. They joined forces with Alan Gilmore, an attorney from Pennington, and David A. Lauer, CPA of Hamilton, to complete the council’s executive board, according to information provided by MCMAC. Arcuri, chairwoman of MCMAC, encourages Mercer County area business owners, local government officials and residents to join the organization. “We need a military support organization here in Mercer County not only to support the service members and the mission of the base, but also to inform local businesses that they can tap into a highly skilled and responsible

workforce,” she said in the statement. Arcuri has been active in other military support organizations based in Ocean and Burlington counties for years. She soon realized that many military families live and work in Mercer County, many of whom silently struggle to fit into their adopted (and often temporary) communities, she said in the statement. “These families would benefit from a military support organization located close to home,” she said in the statement. “Supporting the base and these families helps everyone who lives in our county. We all need each other.” Cleave, vice chairman of the organization, noted that his father served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, including the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach, and then in the reserves during the Kore-

an War. His parents, he said, taught him to honor the sacrifices of the men and women in uniform and their families. “Helping to establish this organization is my way of paying it forward,” he said in the statement. Both Arcuri, who retired last year as a deputy director of New Jersey Lottery after more than 30 years with the state agency, and Cleave, coowner of Flagship Insurance Agency in Pennington, have been involved in the Honorary Commander Program at JB MDL for several years, according to the statement. Arcuri joined the installation’s first group of honorary commanders inducted into the emeritus program when it was created in 2017. The purpose of the Honorary Commander Program is to increase public awareness of the installation’s mission and to foster a supportive relationship between military

commanders and civic leaders. The goal is to educate civilian volunteers on the various missions of each service branch and to encourage communication between installation commanders and surrounding towns. Honorary commanders are required to complete condensed training exercises that mimic those of service members in their respective branches, tour base operations to learn the mission of each branch, attend base ceremonies, and spend time with service members to understand how local communities can better assist them, according to the statement. MCMAC will allow Arcuri and Cleave to continue the important work of communicating the base’s mission and goals, as well as the needs of service members and military families, to its membership, who, in turn, will further the message to

their friends and family, according to the statement. Arcuri said it has been their privilege to serve as honorary commanders. “Through that program Bill and I became acutely aware of the base’s economic impact on New Jersey,” Arcuri said in the statement. “It’s now up to MCMAC to educate local government officials, business leaders and residents as to how they can help maintain this valuable asset that benefits all of us.” Gilmore, of The Gilmore Firm LLC, serves as secretary of the organization, while Lauer serves as treasurer. “Joining MCMAC is an easy way to show that you care about the people who help to protect our country,” Gilmore said in the statement, adding that his father was a Marine who fought in the Pacific Rim during World War II. “His service is a source of pride that should

be recognized by everyone and should not be taken for granted, which will hopefully promote and continue the tradition of service.” Lauer, a partner in Five Points Financial in Hamilton, has worked with many military personnel during his accounting career. “Without fail, I have found them to be the most respectful, appreciative, and forthright group of individuals to work with,” Lauer said in the statement. “Paying it back by joining the Mercer County Military Action Council’s executive board was a decision I made without hesitation.” Aside from hosting fundraisers and military appreciation events, MCMAC will hold networking events so local business leaders can meet base commanders and procurement agents. The organization will also encourage local businesses to tap into the talent on base and offer transitioning service members an opportunity to use their skills in the civilian workplace. MCMAC is now accepting sponsorships and memberships through its website. For more information about the Mercer County Military Action Council, visit www.mcmilitaryactioncouncil.org.

The interior ergonomics are solid, but the Envision. The Envision was truly unique. It was not overly impressive.

screen and a Bose 9 speaker sound system. One thing I really thought was a great new design feature for this Envision was how they positioned the 10-inch touch screen that literally controls all of the car’s functions. The front dash is designed such that the 10-inch touch screen protrudes out a bit and is angled toward the driver. This is a fantastic design concept that more car makers should embrace. It enables the driver to more easily see and interact with the touch screen without having to stretch your neck or hands around to touch or see the screen. In most cars these days, these screens, no matter how fancy or impressive, are still mounted flat into the dash and not angled towards the driver’s sight line. The design and layout of the screen in the Envision is truly awesome. It allows the driver to safely interact with the touch screen controls for navigation, phone, music or climate without having to take your eyes off of the road. I think this is a much safer system than provided for in most vehicles these days. The Envision Essence I drove came equipped with a 2.0 liter, four-cylinder turbo charged engine that puts out 228 horsepower. This power plant is paired with a

nine-speed transmission. I found the Essence model to be adequately powered and smooth. It won’t blow you away with its performance, but at the same time, it is more than capable in any traffic situation. There is a “mode” selector button located on the center console that enables the driver to select what type of driving style is preferred – sport, touring or eco. The sport mode gives the Envision a racier edge. For the most part, this car seemed to perform and prefer to be in the touring mode. I think the genetic makeup of this model is better suited for the more comfortable touring option. I must say, I logged quite a few highway miles in this Envision during the week I drove it and it is a very comfortable car to take on a long trip. It cruises smoothly and effortlessly under highway driving conditions. The EPA fuel ratings for the 2021 Envision are 26 miles per gallon overall – 31 mpg for highway driving and 24 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost for operating the Envision comes in at around a modest $1,550 per year. It uses 3.8 gallons of gas for every 100 miles driven. This model of the Envision has not been safety crash tested under the government’s 5-star safety ratings yet. The editors at Car and Driver gave the Envision high marks for having a stylish exterior, low price compared to its competitors and smooth ride. They also said its acceleration was disappointing and its driving dynamics were not up to snuff. If you are in the market for a compact SUV crossover, I would recommend considering the Envision. It may not overwhelm you at first, but it is a choice that checks off enough boxes all around to make it a worthy contender. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly.

Musician Ricky Byrd ‘comes back stronger’ with second single off album

Amphibians Continued from Page 4A their vernal pools. For more information and directions, go to www.friendsebec. com/salamander-migration-updates. If you can’t make it to an amphibian migration, try listening for the amazing sounds of a frog chorus in wetlands near you. What might you hear? One of the earliest frogs to sing is the Northern spring peeper. This tiny woodland frog is known for the males’ mating call—a high-pitched whistling or peeping sound repeated rapidly. The faster and louder male peepers sing, the better their chances of finding a mate. Peepers congregate near water and often sing in trios, with the deepest-voiced frog starting the call. “To me, the peepers are like the official start of spring,” Wheeler said. A female peeper heeding the male’s call will lay 750 to 1,200 eggs, which are fertilized as they are laid. Eggs hatch within two days to two weeks, depending on temperature, and the tadpoles transform into frogs over six to 12 weeks. Wood frogs also begin breeding in early spring and can be found in the same vernal pools as peepers. Male wood frogs sound like ducks with their quack-like calls day and night to attract mates. Females lay masses of 1,000 to 3,000 eggs, which are fertilized by the males and will hatch between nine and 30 days later. For decades, experts thought New Jersey had only 15 native frog and toad species. Then, in 2011, the green treefrog – a species whose range is currently expanding in the U.S. – was added to the list. The next year brought even bigger news – the discovery of an entirely “new” species, the Atlantic Coast leopard frog. The Atlantic Coast leopard frog had likely been living in the wetlands and ponds of New Jersey, New York and other states for thousands of years. Since the

1930s, it was suspected to be distinct from other leopard frog species. But it wasn’t until the advent of modern DNA analysis that science proved it’s a unique species. The full New Jersey range of Atlantic Coast leopard frogs isn’t yet known, but the Conserve Wildlife Foundation is working to find out. For the last few years, they have surveyed various wetland locations for Atlantic Coast leopard frogs. “We have a number of locations highlighted for this year that haven’t been surveyed yet,” Wheeler said. “It’s exciting.” Don’t miss the opportunity to explore and enjoy this spring’s amphibian migration! And urge your local elected officials to protect vernal pools. New Jerseyans might be surprised to learn that our state’s vernal pools have little protection and can often be filled, except in certain parts of the Highlands and Pinelands. Two decades ago, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection tried to adopt rules to protect vernal ponds statewide but was rebuffed by litigation from the NJ Builders Association. To learn more about the Conserve Wildlife Foundation’s amphibian crossing program, go to www.conservewildlifenj. org/protecting/projects/amphibian_crossing/.

Guitarist/singer-songwriter/producer Ricky Byrd released the second single from his album “Sobering Times” on March 19. Following the release of first single “Together,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer presents his second single “I Come Back Stronger.” Continuing Byrd’s journey as a recovery troubadour, “I Come Back Stronger,” cowritten with Richie Supa, spreads a message of hope and resilience to those who struggle with addiction and substance abuse. “It’s about the lessons life puts in front of us at every turn,” Byrd said in a prepared statement. “Whether we are willing to learn from them is the big question. I believe we can learn way more from our failures than our successes. So in the words of Mr. [Frank] Sinatra … pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.” As Byrd says, “with music and lyrics we press on and pass it on….” “Sobering Times” will be released on April 9 via BFD/The Orchard.

LOOSE ENDS

Climate Initiative

riday, March 19, the windy day before the arrival of spring, blew me away when I had the good fortune to bump into a climate strike in Princeton’s Hinds Plaza. Late in the afternoon, I found myself in the midst of a dozen masked young people, chanting “Our Planet/Our future, Our Water/Our Future, Our Air/ Our Future” and carrying signs about loving, sustaining and saving our planet. Earth Day on April 22 was four weeks away – so what were these youngsters doing? They were “striking” to make the point that every day ought to be Earth Day – the celebration and nurturing of the earth should be ongoing. These teenagers apparently took to heart the wisdom of Princeton’s well known social justice and community activist Albert Hinds, whose words are inscribed on the plaza’s gates: “It Is Always the Right Time To Do the Right Thing.” Princeton High School (PHS) junior Harmonie Ramsden organized the Princeton Youth Climate Week Strike (PYCW) and other advocacy activities with the help of her “team” that included PHS adult advisors Ken Kurtzig, Meredith Soden and James Smirk; along with students Yaw Asante, Aurora Yuan, Jane Bennett, Neha Viswanathan, Abby Walden, Joycelyn Brobbey and Amy Colhoun. The climate change advocacy initiative, conceived by Harmonie, was actually a 10-day festival that

Harmonie Ramsden at the Climate Strike on the Princeton University campus on March 19.

ran from March 11-21 . “The PYCW festival aimed to help youth find an outlet for their creativity and climate frustrations through a multifaceted approach that targets the interests of our generation. We will be the ones to resolve the current crisis of environment degradation—this is a precursor to future environmental advocacy,” said Harmonie, who noted that the other activities included a virtual advocacy strike, sewing reusable masks, letter writing campaign, tree planting and a session on environmental journalism. The project grew from an honor that Harmonie received a few months ago. She was selected last October as one of only 16 finalists in the international Project Green Challenge (PGC). PGC participants are “challenged to envision

and work toward the healthy, just, and resilient future they want to thrive in.” Since launching in 2011, PGC has built a movement of young leaders, engaging 145,032 students directly and tens of millions indirectly on 9,700+ campuses, in 50 states and 188 countries. The movement invites and inspires youth to join together to change the world. The seed for Harmonie’s environmental activism, however, was planted about three years ago when she and her family lived in Davidson, North Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte. With a population of about 13,000 people and often cited as one of the best places to live in North Carolina, Davidson inspired Harmonie to fight a development project that she felt would ruin one of Davidson’s best assets – open

space that invited people to enjoy the outdoors. “My family’s house was on a cul-de-sac that was surrounded by a forest with walking trails and a

pond. We found out that the mayor was supporting a plan to turn the wooded area, a favorite recreational site for my family and friends, into a hotel,” Harmonie said. With help from her younger sister Keegan – 18 months younger – and two other friends, plus support from her parents, Harmonie launched a campaign to protest the hotel plans. She made her position known by attending town hall meetings and hosting lemonade stands, with the lemonade sales financing her campaign. “We spread the word, the mayor was voted out of office in the next election, and the hotel project was stopped completely,” she said. When the family moved to Princeton, Harmonie found her new home town to be fertile turf for environmental and local government activism, and the high school embraced Harmonie’s activism and supported her save-the-planet initiative. She assured me that her environmental advocacy efforts are no passing fancy. “No matter what I study or what path I take as far as a career, I always will be an environmental activist,” she said in acknowledgement of the fact that what good is an interesting profession or joyful lifestyle, if there were no earth in which to enjoy it? Several of the sign’s slogans that I saw during the strike struck chords with me as being perfect for getting a message to stick. What I stand for is what I stand on. Respect existence or expect resistance. Be part of the solution, not the pollution. Like the oceans, we rise. The Earth should not be hotter than Danny DeVito. My slogan would say: Go Harmonie, With A Bit of Dissonance, You are Making Beautiful Music.

Hillsborough wrestlers top Montgomery on the mat By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

Six members of the Hillsborough High School wrestling team recorded a pin in the team’s 54-15 road victory over Skyland Conference rival Montgomery High School on March 23 to improve to 2-2 on the season. Having a shorthanded lineup going into the bout against the Cougars, Hillsborough wrestling Coach Roy Dragon was impressed with how his wrestlers competed on the mat to win the match. “We won a lot of matches in the third period,” said Dragon on the victory. “We stress pushing the pace and scoring late points. In a short season, it’s hard to get into shape, but the kids have done a good job on their own and in the room to start the season and that showed in our win (tonight).” Hillsborough took the first two matches by decision to gain an early 6-0 lead. 126-pounder Alex Villa rallied back from a 4-0 deficit in the second bout of the night for the Raiders. Villa racked up four points in the third period to force overtime and then scored a takedown in the first overtime period on Montgomery’s Josiah Vardman to win the match by a 6-4 decision. Hillsborough won three out of the next four bouts by pinfall, watching Ryan Oram (132), Peter Quandt (152), and Joseph Witcoski (160) all pin their opponents to the mat to go up 24-6. Witcoski is one Hillsborough wrestler that Dragon believes has a good shot to make it into the super region tournament this year as does 126-pounder Cole Psemeneki, who went 30-4 last season. 106-pounder Christopher Spinelli is another wrestler that Dragon has been very impressed by this season and believes has a shot at regions and the state tournament. Spinelli wrestled at 113 pounds during the match against Montgomery and pinned his opponent in 39 seconds. Hillsborough got back-to-back pins by 182-pounder Daniel Guerrero-Nieto and 195-pounder Jack Miller. Guerrero-Nieto got a headlock on Montgomery’s Elhadji Diara right from the get-go and scored a pin in 43 seconds for the victory. As a senior, Guerrero-Nieto knows that every match he gets this season is a “blessing” and that he is treasuring every moment he gets on the mat. “So much stuff is unpredictable nowadays and any match can be your last,” Guerrero-Nieto said. “I treasure every moment on the mat and every moment in practice.” Miller came out on top in a tough battle against Sean Golubitsky at 195. Starting on bottom to begin the third period, Miller was able to pull a reversal on Golubitsky and drive his shoulders to the mat for his second pin of the season. “It felt pretty good to push through the adversity and get the win,” Miller said. “I didn’t wrestle my best match, but I feel it was good that I was able to come back and win.” Colin Mandell (106) and Ryan Nussbaum (285) won each of their matches by forfeit for the Raiders. 120-pounder Brett

Abrahamsen would win his bout at 170 pounds for the Cougars via an injury forfeit after Hillsborough’s Luke Donnadio dislocated his left elbow during the second period of the match. Shabbir Ali (145) won by forfeit for Montgomery, while 220-pounder Andre Soumeillant continued his nice start to the season for the Cougars with a 5-2 decision over Christian Quandt to improve to 3-1 on the season.

The loss to Hillsborough drops Montgomery’s record to 0-4 to begin the season. Both Hillsborough and Montgomery are scheduled to return to action on March 25. Wanting his wrestlers to get as many matches as they can before the end of the regular season, Dragon keeps telling his guys every day to “control what they can control” on and off the mat to give themselves the best chance to wrestle. “This season is all about getting the kids matches to give them some sense of normalcy and letting them go out there and compete,” Dragon said. “We want to get as many matches as we can. We want all the kids to have individual success.”

HomeFront wants to set world record for collecting diapers and baby wipes By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

HomeFront wants to collect 250,000 diapers and wipes by Mother’s Day on May 9 so it can land a spot in the Guinness World Records book – but more importantly, to help families who cannot afford to keep their babies in diapers. HomeFront, which helps the homeless and the working poor, operates its own Diaper Resource Center in a blue warehouse building at its Family Preservation Campus in Ewing Township. The nonprofit group’s headquarters is in Lawrence Township. While the Mother’s Day diaper drive aims to set a world record, it is also another way to honor the donors’ own mothers who cared for them and also to help another set of mothers take care of the children they love, HomeFront officials said. Diapers of all sizes are needed. Diapers and wipes may be dropped off weekdays, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., at HomeFront’s headquarters at 1880 Princeton Ave. in Lawrence Township. They may also be dropped off on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, it was hard for parents to find enough money in the budget to pay for diapers and wipes, HomeFront officials said. One in three mothers nationwide cannot afford enough diapers, which cost an average of $80 per month per child. There are no state or federal child safety net programs that allocate dollars specifically for the purchase of diapers. Food stamps cannot be used to pay for diapers, and that’s why HomeFront’s Diaper Resource Center is so important, HomeFront officials said. “Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we have distributed more than 630,000 diapers and wipes,” said Catherine Cozzi, HomeFront’s Resource Network director. “Our shelves are getting bare. We need to restock so we can continue to be there for families who are suffering.” The Diaper Resource Center creates some room in the budget so that families who are trying to make ends meet can have help in getting diapers. If that need goes unmet, parents need to make hard choices – like less frequent diaper changes. “We have seen the most horrific cases of diaper rash because parents change diapers

on a set schedule, as opposed to when there is a need, because they just don’t have enough diapers,” said Connie Mercer, Homefront’s executive director. Diapers are a necessity to keep a child healthy, and the kind of shame that parents feel when they can’t keep their baby clean is overwhelming, Mercer said. But it’s more than just having enough diapers to keep a baby clean and dry, HomeFront officials said. Without diapers, a baby cannot take part in early childhood education, and without childcare, parents cannot hold down a job. Most childcare programs require parents to provide diapers. “This is about helping parents work. If children need access to disposable diapers to attend a daycare program, without those diapers parents can’t go to work,” Mercer said. “Childcare is a critical link to help families get to work, and diapers are a key part of that.” The Diaper Resource Center, which opened in 2018, had been a dream for Mercer since the days when a group of women – herself included – visited the motels along Brunswick Pike in Lawrence Township to feed hungry, homeless families. “I had this dream for years. The moms would ask if we had diapers for them. We could not meet that need, and it broke my heart,” said Mercer, who founded HomeFront. While there are food banks that help families in need of food, such a resource does not exist for diapers and wipes. HomeFront’s Diaper Resource Center has stepped into the void and provides diapers to families in need, Mercer said.

Bradford Mills December 16, 1926 - March 18, 2021 Bradford Mills of New Hope, PA, died peacefully at his home on Thursday, March 18, 2021, with his beloved, devoted and cherished wife, Pammie, by his side. He was 94 years old. A leader in business and philanthropy, Brad was born on December 16, 1926 in New York City where he was raised. He attended the Millbrook School in Millbrook, NY, where he later served as a trustee and donated a athletic center named in his honor. The school motto: “not for oneself but for all” became the creed by which Brad led his life. As a teenager he joined the US Navy serving in World War 2 and later in the Korean Conflict with intelligence and the CIA. After his WW 2 service he entered Princeton University graduating cum laude with a degree in economics in 1948. After graduation Brad lived in Paris where he served as assistant director of the overseas territories’ division for the Marshall Plan. Brad went on to study Oxford. He went on to cross Africa for the Marshall Plan from Cape Town to Cairo with his first wife, Leisket. In New York Brad was a leader in the merchant banking and investment fields. In 1962 he and a group of colleagues formed the New York Securities Company. In 1970 at the invitation of President Richard Nixon, Brad became the first president and chief executive of a new government agency, Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), which insured U.S. investment in the developing world. In 1974 he formed Bradford Ventures, acquiring growing companies for development and expansion. He also established the Bradford Investment Group. Brad shared his knowledge and experience in multinational corporations as an adjunct faculty member at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School. Brad enjoyed an active life. He was a world traveler, an avid tennis player, fisherman and hunter. He had a generous spirit and served on multiple boards and committees for the greater good, many as board chairman. He established the Mills Foundation. He served as a trustee of the Princeton Medical Center and the Millbrook School. He was a founder and past president of the Amwell Conservancy. A favorite charity of his was “SAVE”: Save the Homeless Animals in Skillman. Brad and Pam hosted and organized many successful fundraisers for charity. He was known by his grandchildren as “Noisy Grandpa Fisherman”. He loved teaching them to fish. One of his greatest joys came when he was shooting quail with his beloved dogs either at Amwell Conservancy, a hunting preserve he helped to establish, or at Bray’s Island in South Carolina. He enjoyed spending time feeding his Koi fish at his New Hope home. Brad’s dogs were an essential part of his daily life. He leaves behind Lady, Lola, Bella and Gracie. His late dog Michelle was a particular favorite. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Pammie; his children and their spouses Elizabeth “Lizette” Hardie of Raleigh, NC; Bradford A. Mills and his wife Carol of Houston, TX; Barbara “Babette” Henagan and her husband William “Bill” of Atlanta and Ross Mills and his wife Avril of FL; 10 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; his sister Lee Petty of Washington, DC; his sisterin-law Alecia Mills of Mexico; his step-daughter Kristina Hopper and her husband Kasra Nasiri of Switzerland; and his step-son Alastair Hopper and his partner Kati Gray of Calgary, Canada and Nepal. Brad was predeceased by his former wife and the mother of his children Elizabeth “Leisket” Leisk Mills; his parents Dudley and Louise Morris Mills; his brother Larry Mills and his sister Louise Cunningham. A memorial will be planned in the future when we can all gather. Committal services with military honors will be held on Wednesday, March 24, at 11 am at Washington Crossing National Cemetery, 830 Highland Rd, Newtown, PA.

Princeton Perks discount cards sales reopen with more than 70 participating businesses The Princeton Perks Discount Card is back by popular demand and on sale through April 30. Since its launch in February, the roster of local businesses that have joined the discount card program has nearly doubled to more than 70 retailers and restaurants, according to information provided by Princeton Perks. The program, which was started as a fundraiser for Princeton’s public elementary schools, has also expanded to include partners at Princeton Unified Middle School, Princeton High School and Princeton Charter School, who will now sell the cards alongside the original organizers. The Princeton Perks card costs $25 and gives cardholders special deals from participating retailers and restaurants through Dec. 31. Anyone may purchase a Princeton Perks card by visiting www.princetonperks.com, and then selecting any school’s sales portal. The website also features the growing list of participating restaurants and retailers, plus details on each business’s specific deal. Most offer cardholders 10% off, though some deals are restricted to certain days of the week or types of merchandise, according to the statement. Cardholders may also find the Princeton Perks logo displayed in shop windows or near the register of participating businesses. Any local business is welcome to join. The program is free for businesses; they do not pay to participate nor do they make donations to the schools based on cardholder transactions. “We’re happy to be participating in the Princeton Perks discount program,” Jon Lambert, owner of Princeton Record Exchange, said in the statement. “Local students, teachers and businesses all benefit, and we think it’s just this kind of collaborative effort that will help us make it through these challenging times.” Princeton Perks started as a partnership between the town’s four elementary school PTOs – Community Park, Johnson Park, Littlebrook and Riverside – as a means to help the community weather the pandemic. The organizers saw the program as a “winwin-win,” according to the statement: Businesses may see a boost in customers, shoppers get a break when they spend

their dollars locally, and the schools fill in fundraising gaps caused by their inability to hold the usual in-person fundraisers this year. “Uniting the schools on this scale has never been done before,” Sharon Litvinsky, vice president of Friends of Princeton Charter School, said in the statement. “We hope that by bringing all our families together and inviting friends and neighbors to participate, that the united front will have a great impact on our local businesses.” “The [participating] shops and restaurants are the heartbeat of our neighborhoods and they have always supported our schools,” Princeton Unified Middle School PTO Co-Presidents Veronica Foreman and Kim Marks said in a statement. Each school’s parent group will determine how best to utilize the funds they raise from card sales. For example, Community Park is donating their proceeds to the Princeton Children’s Fund to subsidize summer camps for low income students; Riverside has earmarked theirs for spring educational programs and graduation celebration activities for fifth graders; Littlebrook is purchasing materials for teachers and supporting arts and cultural enrichment activities; and Princeton Charter is providing summer academic support programs and free attendance at the Hawks Camp for under-resourced students, according to the statement. Meanwhile, the middle school is donating half of their proceeds to the Princeton Mobile Food Pantry, and Princeton High School will use theirs to help low income students attend the spring prom and participate in special graduation activities, according to the statement. “The pandemic has highlighted how central our schools are in surrounding students with a community of support,” Shazia Manekia, PTO co-president at the high school, said in the statement. “Beyond just academics, our schools have been providing critical resources for immediate needs from food and clothing, to more complex ones. Our PTOS have continued to work hand-in-hand with school administration and teachers to address the growing needs of our communities, especially during the pandemic, and tackle them head-on.” For a list of the participating businesses, visit www.princetonperks.com.

Science fair goes virtual again for 2021 Every spring for more than 50 years, the Mercer Science and Engineering Fair has exhibited students’ projects in a large hall where the public could visit and the judges would evaluate them for a range of awards. In recent decades, Rider University has hosted the event. This year, as in 2020, however, was a virtual event, with the students, their exhibits and the judging again successfully conducted online via Zoom. Bill Wong, president of the Mercer Science and Engineering Club, which sponsors the fair, is a computer science expert. With the help of club members, the volunteer judges, and the exhibitors themselves, the fair ran smoothly as a virtual online event. This year, more than 50 students from the middle and high schools in the greater Mercer County area submitted projects. Each exhibitor assembled, scanned and posted all their artifacts, documents, descriptions, and results on the club website where the judges could examine them. Some engineering exhibitors even presented video demonstrations of their creations in action. The Senior Division, which includes high school grades 9-12, requires interviews with the judges. These, too, occurred via Zoom. With both audio and video capabilities, the students explained their projects and answered judges’ questions. The judges then caucused on-line to discuss their findings and select winners and awards. The grand prize winner was Charlotte Michaluk, a freshman at Hopewell Valley Central High, with her project, Innovative Climate Change Emissions Reduction: The Cargo Ship Flettner Rotor Centrifugal Vortex Exhaust Scrubber. This novel design could a double benefit to the environment, removing diesel soot emissions and harnessing wind power to improve energy efficiency, and thus reduce both petroleum

consumption and carbon dioxide. First runner-up was Aravind Krishnan, a senior from Hillsborough High School, with his project, A Novel Assay to Quantitatively Detect Bacterial Endotoxin by Harnessing PAMP Triggered Immunity of RK1 LUC Arabidopsis thaliana. Currently the agent used to detect bacteria in living organisms, on surfaces, and in water is derived from the blood of horseshoe crabs whose numbers are declining. This project experimented with a biosensor genetically engineered into a common flowering weed plant. Krishnan hopes this approach could reduce the need to destroy horseshoe crabs. The second runner up was Sota Mark Ogata, a junior from Princeton High School, with his project, Zircon – an affordable, powerful, and customizable educational soccer robot kit for beginners. If marketed, it would provide both beginners and even more advanced experimenters a functional robot as a starting point, which they could program and modify to compete in the RobotCup Tournament or other contests. They would also learn about real life robotics and IoT systems. The grand prize winner and first runner normally receive an all-expense-paid trip to the International Science and Engineering Fair in May. This year, however, the International Fair will also be virtual. A complete list of awards is available at https://mercersec.org/sites/default/files/2021-03/2021%20MSEF%20 Awards%20List.pdf There will be an online open house at 1 p.m. March 27, where visitors may listen to students’ presentations and ask them questions. The link is available at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/ register/tZwpfuChqj8jHtHpRIu6cSBy0eA6NeLnxsEq * This information was submitted by Jonathan Allen, Ph.D., secretary, Mercer Science & Engineering Club in the Titusville section of Hopewell Township.

YOUR TURN

The Ghosts of Gettysburg When Jacob Alexander Sipe returned to Gettysburg to pay homage to his dead Civil War comrades, something strange happened to him. He heard the faint cries of the dead 40,000 men buried there and saw an apparition of a dead Union soldier cross before him. It was not the first time visitors heard the sounds and saw the ghost of a Union or Confederate soldier walking the battlefield. Many of his old Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry buddies experienced the same thing. And nearly a century later, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had retired to Gettysburg, trusted a colleague not to tell anyone what he saw and heard. Jacob Sipe is my great-great-grandfather who entrusted this experience to my mother when she was only 10 years old. She used to ride with him in his horse and buggy and he told her they were going to Oklahoma. Shortly thereafter, Sipe, a farmer by trade, would pull up at his patch of land and both would retrieve strawberries, tomatoes and potatoes. Jacob had survived four years in the bloodiest war than all American wars combined. So many Union and Confederate soldiers were killed at Gettysburg that they were still finding them as late as 1996 when tourists discovered the remains of a young soldier. Of the 94,000 Union troops with my grandfather in the July 1-3 Gettysburg battle, 23,000 became casualties. Of the 73,000 Confederate troops, 28,000 were casualties. Thousands were buried on the battlefield in ad-hoc graves. In their haste to bury the dead, some critically wounded but unconscious soldiers, were mistakenly buried alive. Corpses were later exhumed and Union soldiers were reburied with honors in the National Park Cemetery. Over a decade later the remains of dead Confederates, often discovered in trenches with Union dead, were reburied in Richmond, Savannah and Charleston. When Jacob became 100 years old the New Castle News of Pennsylvania interviewed him. When asked if he had seen any military action “the old man straightened up and with a proud gleam in his eye said, ‘You bet I was. I was with General Phil Sheridan in the old Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry and I served in every battle that General Phil was in. I was with him on the famous destructive ride south by General Phil. Every engagement he entered I was with him.”‘ When Jacob was born, George Washington was still fresh in the minds of Americans. Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, Monroe, Andrew Jackson, all of these men were still living or had been dead just a few years. He had seen America emerge as a struggling frontier country to the most powerful nation in the world. He saw the western

Several 100-year-old-plus residents at Greenwood House’s long-term care facility and assisted living facility, Abrams Residence, shared their secrets to longevity. Bessie B.: “Be happy because life is what you make it.” Theresa C.: “Live life to the fullest.” Ruth G.: “My secret: Keep laughing!” Bessie B., Theresa C., Ruth G., Sylvia A., Lucy J. and Etta H. are the centenarians at Greenwood House, and most have been a part of the Greenwood House family for several years. “These extraordinary residents are the living examples of aging with attitude. Each one of them represents so much more than their age,” Greenwood House Executive Director Richard Goldstein said in a prepared statement. “We honor them for their positivity, longevity and for sharing their wisdom and talents. We can learn a lot from a generation that has lived through so many incredible events like the Spanish flu, Great Depression, world wars, prosperity, conflict, COVID-19 and the advent of

life-changing technology.” “Centenarians are beacons of life in our community,” Rachel Watlington, Greenwood House director of Life Enrichment, said in the statement. “Be it their positive attitude, their lifestyle, faith or genetics, they are living examples of how to age with attitude, dignity and grace. Their contributions are certainly worthy of celebration – Every single day.” “One of the mainstays of our mission at Greenwood House is life enrichment and family. Our residents’ families and caretakers are also a key component in our daily circle of care, and communication and transparency is what makes us unique and why families love the way we care,” Cara Willis, director Social of Work, said in the statement. “While it’s not every day you get to celebrate a person turning 100, it’s fairly common at Greenwood House Senior Healthcare. It’s the truth – here are six hallmark women right here,” Goldstein said in the statement.

frontier pushed to the Pacific Ocean. He saw the addition of Louisiana and many other states added to the nation. He saw America defeat Mexico, helped put down the Rebellion, and the first World War. The man had never seen an electric light, an airplane and any other modes of transportation except for his horse and buggy and canal boats propelled by mules, and many of the other conveniences we enjoy today. Jacob never forgot his Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalrymen or the ghosts of Gettysburg. He told a neighbor he felt that he would soon be joining them on the battlefield. The next day while still plowing his field, he suffered a stroke and died in his bed a day later at 104 years old. All of the newspapers called him the oldest working man in the United States, still plowing his field and hauling produce and bags of coal. Others reported him as the last Union veteran of the Civil War. The little great-grandchild he told of the Ghosts of Gettysburg became my mother and she passed down to me his kepi hat with the insignia of “The Grand Army of the Republic” on it, his revolver, his two Cavalry sabers and the Civil War medal awarded him. I am also responsible for two books on the Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry and Commander Emeritus of New Jersey’s Lincoln Camp of the “Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.” Anthony Galli lives in Pennington. He has authored four books, including two on the Civil War exploits of his great-greatgrandfather with his Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry in Virginia and Gettysburg. He has worked for UPI, TIME magazine and Sports Illustrated with hundreds of his bylined articles appearing in magazines and newspapers across the country. He is a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II.
