School board adopts $98 million budget for 2018-19

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The Princeton Public Schools plans to spend $98 million in the upcoming school year and raise school taxes, based on the 201819 budget the Board of Education adopted on April 24.

In remarks during the board meeting, Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said the budget does not add staff, even though enrollment is up and exceeds 3,760 students.

He said the district was able to invest “where it matters” with added money for professional development of staff. Cochrane

called investing in staff members “the best way to invest in our students.”

Administrators will spend $62.5 million on employee salaries and health benefits; two costs that make up 64 percent of the budget. The district has 753 staff members, according to a statistic in the budget presentation.

To support the budget, $81.4 million will be raised through a local tax levy to be paid by Princeton’s residential and commercial property owners. Administrators said school taxes will increase by $159 on the average home assessment of $837,074, to a total of $9,375.

School taxes are one item on a property owner’s tax bill, which also includes municipal taxes and county taxes. A property owner’s total tax is determined in part by the assessed value of his property.

Cochrane said administrators added the money and busing in order to move back the starting time at Princeton High School, beginning in September, from 7:50 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. in a step officials took to give high school students more time to rest. The district will spend $2.2 million on transportation, the same as in 2017-18.

Business Administrator Stephanie Kennedy walked the

board through what she called a “very tight” spending plan and described how it was developed.

The budgets for the six schools will remain unchanged from 2017-18 to 2018-19, with the exception of an additional $24,000 for the high school.

“That’s not what they requested, that’s what they’re getting, unfortunately,” Kennedy said of the flat funding at the schools.

Administrators said $13.7 million in the budget is nondiscretionary spending that is outside the control of the board. The nondiscretionary spending includes an additional $475,661 to fund the Princeton Charter School,

which will enter the second phase of its enrollment expansion. The district will provide $6.3 million to the charter school in 2018-19.

Health benefits are up by $98,666 to $10.9 million, budget data showed.

In terms of revenues other than taxes, the district is looking to receive $4.9 million in tuition from Cranbury through the sendreceive relationship the two communities have and through which high school students who live in Cranbury attend Princeton High School. The tuition from Cranbury is the second largest item of revenue in the budget, after the local tax levy.

University: No shortterm plan to develop Springdale Golf Club

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton University reiterated it has no short-term plan to develop the Springdale Golf Club, even though Nassau Hall said it anticipates eventually using the 101-acre property to support the school’s academic mission.

University architect Ronald McCoy, speaking at a Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce event at the golf course clubhouse, addressed area business leaders on April 20 about the university’s campus plan.

The plan is a framework to guide decision-makers at Princeton to grow and develop the campus.

McCoy said the plan states “there will be no development on Springdale over the next 10 years.”

The university owns the land and has a licensing agreement that runs through 2036 with the Springdale Golf Club, Clubhouse Drive.

The deal has an early termination clause the university could exercise. As recently as last year, Nassau Hall called it “likely” the golf course would be used to support the university’s mission of teaching and research.

“We recognize that we want to preserve our opportunities to develop Springdale in the future to support the academic mission of the institution,” McCoy said. “So that’s a very important point.”

McCoy said the university is “very much aware of the beautiful natural conditions of the Springdale area and the historic conditions.”

He said the area was the scene of “very important Revolutionary War history.”

“So all those things would be preserved if and when we decide to develop the Springdale lands,” he

said.

Springdale Golf Club President Kevin Tylus, who attended McCoy’s talk, said afterward that the club and the university have a “great relationship” and that the two parties have a “very open dialogue.” He said the university intends to install a golf training facility at the course.

“At any time after 2023, the university has the option to give the club a three-year notice of its intent to terminate or decline to renew the agreement,” university spokesman Michael Hotchkiss said on April 23. “As we have said, no projects anticipated in the 2026 campus plan would change the use of Springdale, but the university anticipates using the site for its academic and educational mission at some point in the future.”

Regarding the possibility of the golf course being developed, Mayor Liz Lempert said on April 20 that she thought it was an issue “a future governing body will be grappling with.”

“There’s been no effort I know of to think about rezoning the area,” she said.

In the past 10 years, the university has been redeveloping that section of the municipality. Work included the arts and transit project with a new train station, restaurants and buildings for the university’s arts program.

The campus plan suggested a mixed-use development along Alexander Street, including the possibility of a hotel. Any such project would require Princeton’s governing body to rezone the area.

In his remarks at the chamber event, McCoy touched on the “broad geographic scope” of a campus plan that considered all university property “that encompass the academic mission of the university.”

McCoy reiterated what the university has said about the campus plan, that it is a framework to help guide development in the near term and up to 30 years from now.

“We wanted to make sure we were looking at all the lands, so we would have the perspective of the future as we made short-term decisions,” McCoy said. “We didn’t want a situation where we would build something now and realize that, in the long term, it was not properly placed or that we had missed an opportunity to anticipate the future.”

Walesa calls for American leadership

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

During his talk at Princeton University, Lech Walesa said his native Poland will lead the world if the United States won’t.

The line began to form toward the back of McCosh, 50, in a lecture hall at Princeton University, where people waited April 23 to meet and get their picture taken with the man in the dark suit and white mustache standing at the front of the auditorium.

Walesa, the union leader turned Nobel Prize-winner and president of Poland who helped guide his native country out of communism to democracy, had

just finished speaking from inside the same hall where Albert Einstein and other distinguished guests have been coming for more than 100 years. Through an interpreter, he reflected on the past, the need for American leadership in the world and his legacy.

“I don’t care about that,” the 74-year-old said when asked how he wanted to be remembered, in a remark that got a laugh and applause from the audience.

He mixed the serious with the humorous. He said America, as the globe’s only superpower, has a “special responsibility for this world.”

He said the United States needed to lead with “ideas for the world.”

“Until today, no other generation had so many opportunities and such a chance as we have,” he said. “We have a chance … for peace, for wealth-building, prosperity. But we have to make reforms.”

Recalling the Poland he grew up in, he said that after World War II, the Soviet Union had imposed a political and economic system on the country. Polish armed re-

Meeting between Trump and Kim the subject of talk

By Iris Samuels Contributor

Perception plays an important role in relations between North Korea and the United States, according to journalist Evan Osnos.

Osnos spoke at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in April. Osnos, a foreign correspondent for The New Yorker, has covered the Middle East and China, among other places. His talk focused on North Korea and President Donald Trump’s possible meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Together, they have a combined eight years of political experience,” Osnos said of Trump and Kim. “That’s the situation in which we find ourselves.”

Osnos said that during

his recent visit to Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, he was privy to North Korean officials’ confusion about American politics, and particularly about Trump. According to Osnos, the North Koreans cannot decide if Trump is too smart or if he is irrational.

Osnos spoke about the North Koreans’ speculation regarding America’s readiness for war. Unlike in the United States, he said, in Pyongyang “there is constant talk about missiles and nuclear technology.”

“There are serious practical arguments against a war with North Korea,” Osnos said. “It is inescapably accompanied by a loss of life. There are estimates 65,000 civilians would die on the first day, and tens of thousands more to follow in the days afterward.”

At the summit, North Korea is expected to demand that the United States decrease its military presence in South Korea.

The United States is expected to demand North Korea suspend its nuclear program. Both these scenarios are unlikely, according to Osnos.

“It’s a very high bar these two have to meet when they sit down at the table,” he said.

Ultimately, Osnos warned against the gaps in perception in both countries.

“Our perception of North Korea’s beliefs and expectations is really not much better than their perception of ours,” he said.

“The smartest people on both sides of this relationship are dealing with huge gaps in what they can know.”

Officials support giving prisoners, parolees the right to vote

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Mayor Liz Lempert and members of the Princeton Council this week joined a movement to give prison inmates in New Jersey the right to vote.

On April 23, council

members passed a resolution in favor of changing state law and giving back inmates and parolees or those on probation for a felony their right to vote.

At the moment, individuals in all three categories are barred from voting in New Jersey.

The resolution states, in part, that there are more than 94,000 people in the state who are denied the right to vote, and that “half of all disfranchised people in our state are black, even though black people make up only about 15 percent of New Jersey’s population.”

Lempert will join the mayors of Newark, Hoboken and Jersey City, and groups like the American

Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP in signing a letter to Gov. Phil Murphy and leaders in both houses of the Legislature calling for action.

Legislation has been introduced to change the existing law. State Sen. Sandra B. Cunningham (DHudson County), a sponsor of a Senate bill, could not be reached for comment.

During a press conference on April 23, Lempert said she supports changing the law “because I think it’s important for our democracy to work that more people participate in the process and are able to vote. I mean if it’s in your benefit for more people to vote, maybe that benefits the Democrats

right now. I don’t know if that can always be said to be true.”

Lempert, a Democrat, said that in a lot of states controlled by Republicans, officials are making it more difficult for people to vote, with voter identification requirements.

This is not the first time Lempert has waded into an issue impacting ex-cons. In 2014, she supported changing state law to prohibit employers of companies with 15 or more employees from asking job-seekers about their criminal history.

Princeton subsequently eliminated the criminal history question on its job applications, although it does check after making a condi-

tional offer of employment.

“I think part of it is like how do you view the role of prisons and what are sort of the societal considerations,” Lempert said. “I think most people in prison are not going to be there for the rest of their lives.

“They are serving a set term and I think you have to ask yourself what’s in the best interest of the society and the community, to rehabilitate that person or a combination of punishment and rehabilitation, so when a person gets out of prison they are able to go back to being a functioning member and a contributing member of the community,” she said.

Council President Jenny

Crumiller, a fellow Democrat who also favored changing the law, said she was troubled that minorities in the United States are imprisoned at a higher rate per capita than non-minorites.

She called it a “basic human right” to vote.

“I don’t want to pass on that prejudice in the (criminal justice) system into the voting system,” she said.

“So I think everyone has an equal right to justice and everyone has an equal right to vote.”

State Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer, Hunterdon), who is Princeton’s municipal prosecutor, had no comment when asked his view on the proposed legislation.

He said in later decades, “we organized strikes … and we took to the streets.”

That, too, he said, was crushed.

“So through this road of taking action … we had to figure out how to proceed in order to get ahead, to win,” he said. “Every attempt to unify the society was annihilated, was broken. And we couldn’t get together. We couldn’t unite.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Drunk-driving simulation successful To the editor: On April 12, juniors and seniors at Princeton High School witnessed a very realistic and graphic simulation of a drunkdriving car crash. The event, which is presented every other year, sent a powerful message—drinking and driving can be lethal, and lives can change in a matter of seconds.

Many organizations and people are to be thanked for their support and cooperation.

The Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, under the direction of Frank Setnicky; squad member Greg Paulson, who narrated; the Princeton Police Department and Chief Nick Sutter; the Princeton Fire Department; Mather Hodge Funeral Home; and Stewart Towing were all instrumental in coordinating this major undertaking. Kurt Zimmerman of the Princeton High School Media Department; Shannon Koch, who prepared the student actors for their roles, complete with frighteningly real-looking injuries; Tony Diaforli and the district grounds crew; the PHS Guidance Department; Gwen Kimsal, Student Assistance Coordinator; Assistant Principal, Angela Siso Stentz; and Principal Gary Snyder were invaluable.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

The actors, who were all members of Princeton High School’s SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) chapter, are to be commended for doing a remarkable job.

It is hoped that every student who saw the horrifying simulation will remember to always stay safe and sober, particularly during the prom and graduation seasons ahead. May we in Princeton never experience this tragedy in real life.

Remembering John Borden

Wendy Jolley Princeton

To the Editor: When John Borden passed away April 11, Princeton lost a most sincere and effective advocate for the housing needs of our community. On behalf of Princeton Community Housing (PCH), I am writing to express our condolences to John’s family and friends and to let others how much John meant to our organization and to Princeton.

John was indeed a wonderful man - the kindest man I have ever met, without exaggeration. I will miss his smile, his easygoing delivery, his wisdom and friendship.

John was a gentleman in every respect and a man I hoped I could be. His sense of duty to the community and the manner in which

he approached this duty are the reasons why he leaves an incredible legacy in his service to PCH and the Princeton community.

This legacy includes his role a pioneering and founding member of PCH in 1967 and his service on the Board of Trustees as a representative for Princeton Monthly Meeting. John was a significant contributor to the work and accomplishments of our organization, particularly over the past year, helping us to promote our mission to provide, manage and advocate for affordable housing opportunities in town.

During his tenure on the PCH Board, John often led our fundraising and development efforts, by word and by deed, and also chaired the Development Committee.

John worked quietly, but tirelessly, diligently and effectively, to ensure that the community understood the necessity of ensuring that Princeton was a town in which everyone - seniors, families, people at every income level - could have a home.

Our fond memories of his one of a kind personality, effective leadership and steadfast advocacy help ease the sadness of our loss and inspire us to continue our mission and help the community to offer the variety of housing opportunities that are essential to maintaining the vibrancy and socioeconomic diversity that defines our town.

Edward Truscelli Executive Director Princeton Community Housing

Thank you first responders To the editor:

On April 10, I was rear ended while driving my 2015 Honda Civic. The incident was very traumatizing. The Princeton Police Department and the Princeton First Aid Squad came to the site of the accident within three minutes after I called the Princeton Police Department.

Members of the Princeton First Aid Squad convinced me to go to the emergency room at Penn Medicine/Princeton Medical Center. I wish to thank them for the compassion they provided toward me.

I wish to thank a ER nurse practitioner who was very compassionate toward me. I also want to thank the ER nurses.

I also wish to commend a senior citizen volunteer. He not only offered me a sandwich and a soft drink, I called my minister to come to the ER to provide me with the support, and the senior citizen volunteer offered the minister a can of ginger ale.

Whoever this volunteer is, he should be provided a paid position if an opening comes up. I was in the ER for approximately five and a half hours, and I think the ER physician made the right call by ordering an avalanche of tests.

Cowtown and rare grassland birds, perfect together Grant Harris took a bold step last week when he preserved nearly 375 acres of grasslands surrounding his famous Cowtown Rodeo in Pilesgrove Township, the oldest weekly professional rodeo in the United States and the only one in New Jersey.

Preserving the land where his horses and cattle graze allows him to continue a five-generation family rodeo legacy while helping keep agriculture alive in Salem County. What many folks may not realize is that preserving these rolling green pastures also protects critical habitat for rare grassland birds.

Bobolinks, grasshopper sparrows and savanna sparrows – all classified by the state as threatened species - breed among the clumps of pasture grasses. “They’re ground-nesting birds, so what they’re looking for is cover,” explains Bill Pitts of the state’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program, which monitors the property.

Brown thrashers and Eastern meadowlarks – species of special concern – also breed there, and the endangered upland sandpiper may breed there on occasion.

The Cowtown pasturelands - which total about 1,700 acres - also support a breeding population of American kestrels, a threatened falcon that favors grassland habitats with a few scattered trees with nesting cavities. Eight kes-

SOLUTIONS

trel nesting boxes have been placed on Cowtown’s grazing lands to supplement natural nesting sites.

Bald eagles forage year round on Cowtown’s grasslands, and other rare birds like Northern harriers and shorteared owls hunt prey there seasonally.

All are classified as threatened or endangered in New Jersey. Snow geese frequent the pastures in winter.

New Jersey Conservation Foundation purchased the development rights on the 374 newly-preserved acres, mostly using U.S. Department of Agriculture funds that help ranchers preserve their grazing lands. It’s the first time these grassland preservation funds have been used in New Jersey.

The land will remain in Harris family ownership, but it’s permanently limited to no-till agriculture like grazing and breeding livestock. This will maintain grassland habitat quality indefinitely.

At an event at Cowtown to announce the land preservation project, Grant Harris humorously referred to his three rules for managing grasslands: “Don’t overgraze. Don’t overgraze. And don’t overgraze.” But these rules are no joke. This management philosophy has resulted in excellent habitat.

At any given time, Cowtown has about 100 horses and 300 to 500 head of cattle - which may seem like a lot of animals, but comes out to much less than

one per acre!

Pitts noted that because Cowtown rotates its pastures, the grasslands maintain a desirable mix of thick and sparse cover. The presence of livestock actually improves the quality of the grasslands because regular grazing prevents woody plants and invasive shrubs from taking root, thus keeping the land from turning into a weedy thicket.

Proceeds from the sale of development rights are being used by Grant to purchase additional land he’s been leasing, and to make it affordable for his daughter, sonin-law and grandson - Katy, RJ and Nate Griscom - to eventually take over the rodeo and surrounding land.

Katy, RJ and Nate represent the fifth and sixth generations of Harris family members to live and work at Cowtown.

The rodeo was founded in 1929 by Grant Harris’ great-grandfather and grandfather.

Preserving Cowtown does more than help the Harris family and protect grassland birds. It also supports the larger agricultural community, from the farmhands employed at Cowtown to the businesses that sell tractors and supplies to the rodeo and ranch. As Grant notes, “We’re preserving the farmers by preserving the land.”

It benefits agritourism, too. The Harris property is next to the state’s Featherbed Lane Wildlife Management Area – which is leased for livestock grazing -

and the roads surrounding Cowtown and Featherbed Lane are a popular destination for birders.

State Senate President Steve Sweeney, a longtime fan of farmland preservation, praised the Harris family for preserving their property.

“Once it goes away, you can’t recreate it,” said Sweeney. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. We’re the Garden State, remember that, and this is a rich piece of it.”

Thank you to the Harris family, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and all the other partners that help preserve agricultural lands like Cowtown. Preserving farmland and grassland helps farmers thrive and keeps New Jersey the Garden State forever!

‘Pumped Hydro’ - solving the energy storage problem

New Jersey draws its electrical power from a relatively clean mix of sources, which include nuclear, natural gas and solar.

If the state adopts plans for off-shore wind farms, the new wind generation will PrincetonPacket.2.736x4.5.StaffBox.indd

make New Jersey even cleaner. However, as wind and solar expand, the storage problem, due to their intermittent nature, becomes more significant.

What is needed is large-scale energy storage. The phrase “energy storage” usually leads people to think of batteries, however the largest form of energy storage for electricity by far is not batteries; it is pumped storage hydroelectricity (or pumped hydro). Pumped hydro is orders of magnitude less expensive than batteries for a given amount of energy stored. The phrase “pumped hydro” leads many people (including many industry experts) to think about the need for a dam on a river.

There is, however, another, littleknown storage technology that is quietly being used, and it’s clean, cheap, and could be utilized far more than it is now, with modest, further investment: pumped hydro without a dam. It has been introduced in Michigan at the Ludington pumped hydro facility, and in Germany, near the town of Bad Sackingen, along the Rhine River.

The relatively simple requirements for all pumped hydro systems are a supply of water at a relatively low elevation and a nearby storage reservoir for water at a higher elevation. The elevation difference

should be at least several hundred feet, but ideally 1,000 feet or more. The amount of stored energy is proportional to both the elevation difference and the usable volume of water in the storage reservoir.

An important point to note is that the low level water supply can be a reservoir behind a dam but it can also be a free-flowing river or stream. New Jersey and New York have many hills and cliffs along the Delaware and Hudson rivers that provide the needed height. The elevated storage reservoir could be simply and inexpensively bull-dozed or excavated at the top of a hill or cliff near the river and when surrounded by trees or local shrubs, it would blend into the landscape. The pipes carrying water up and down can be buried underground or left on the surface.

Its mechanics are simple: water from a stream, river or lake would be pumped to the relatively higher reservoir. When electricity is needed, water would be released and would flow back down to the original low-level source, turning turbine blades that power a generator to produce electricity. For Michigan’s Ludington Pumped Storage facility — which serves Chicago — the low-level source is Lake Michigan, and in Germany’s Bad Sackingen complex,

it is the free-flowing Rhine River.

Not only is this technology inexpensive, it can last for over 40 years, and can be very unobtrusive. New Jersey’s power companies are using pumped hydro but not with a free-flowing river. The Yards Creek Generating Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectric plant in Blairstown and Pahaquarry in Warren County, New Jersey.

The top reservoir is within the Worthington State Forest area.

Since 2011, natural gas and nuclear power have supplied more than nine-tenths of the electricity generated in New Jersey. Through 2013, nuclear power typically supplied about half of New Jersey’s net electricity generation. But the share of generation from natural gas has been growing and — in 2016, for the first time — natural gas supplied more than half of the state’s net generation. At some point the state will turn to cleaner and cheaper power sources.

Pumped hydro offers the potential to store cheap, clean energy to combine with solar and wind when they are not producing. To make this happen, however, there will be a need for multiple pumped hydro locations along many free-flowing rivers, streams, or lakes. Building expensive dams will not be necessary.

School board considers extending relationship with Cranbury H.S.

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton Public Schools Board of Education President Patrick Sullivan said this week he would like to see the board vote “very soon” to extend the send-receive relationship Princeton has with Cranbury.

The current 10-yeardeal between the parties runs through June 2020 and representatives of the two school districts are looking to renew the agreement for 10 years after that date.

The Cranbury Township School District pays Princeton tuition to send its high school students to Princeton High School. For the current 2017-18 school

year, that amount is $4.8 million.

Princeton Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said on April 25 that he would anticipate board members voting on the renewal of the send-receive relationship at its May 22 meeting. Cochrane has said he supports continuing the arrangement with Cranbury, a relationship that has existed since 1991.

The Cranbury school board would also have to vote on the new agreement.

“Once Princeton has voted on the contract, our board will approve it at the following board meeting,” Cranbury Chief School Administrator and Principal Susan L. Genco said on

April 25.

In Princeton, district administrators have faced questions about Princeton’s relationship with Cranbury, given the student overcrowding at the high school and the prospect of an $129.8 million facilities referendum that would include $56 million to renovate and add classroom space at the high school.

Residents may vote on that referendum on Oct. 2.

As of earlier this month, 276 students from Cranbury were attending Princeton High School, which has an enrollment of 1,605 students, according to district records. The school’s capacity is 1,423 students.

Princeton to renovate Mary Moss Playground

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

On a chilly Wednesday morning in a playground at the corner of John and Lytle streets in Princeton, Shirley Satterfield let her mind go back to a time when she played there as a little girl and got stuck on a swing.

The playground opened in 1946, but the swing and much else about Mary Moss Playground and the once predominately black neighborhood it calls home has changed over the years.

Municipal officials are spending almost $700,000 to spruce up the playground by installing new equipment and making other improvements for a new generation of children to enjoy.

Satterfield, a local historian who lives in the once predominately black Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood where the playground is located, joined Mayor Liz Lempert and other Princeton officials at an April 18 groundbreaking ceremony for the project.

“And I’m here for remembrance,” she said with a shovel in hand. “It’s very nostalgic for me.”

nostalgic.”

According to the municipality, the project is due to be completed June 15, which would have the playground ready in time for summer when school lets out.

“I’m excited to get to this point,” municipal recreation director Benjamin Stentz said at the event.

“These things can drag on a for a long time. We learned that with (Community Park) Pool. But ultimately, in the end, you get the right design that satisfies a majority of people.”

Among other things, the town will install a water play area, known as a sprayground, picnic tables, playground equipment and other features.

“My excitement is really for the people who live in this neighborhood because it’s going to be a really cool playground and once they see it, I think people are going to enjoy it,” Stentz said.

“I’m glad it’s finally going to be renovated,” Hines said. “And I’m glad to see it come back. The neighborhood needs it. I’m sure the kids miss it. It’s a happy sight.”

For Satterfield and the rest of the black community that used to live here, this was their place to play as children.

The playground originally had been called the John Street wading pool, the only swimming facility open to Princeton’s black community in a time when the public schools were segregated. Later, it was renamed for Moss, a local woman who worked at a nursery school and was seen as a maternal figure for residents of the neighborhood, Satterfield said.

“I grew up here, this was our playground,” Satterfield said.

At one point, she motioned to a now empty area of the playground where the swing she played on as a child used to be.

“I was swinging and I swung right over the railing,” she said.

The place held memories for another woman attending the groundbreaking.

“I swam here … my mom would come over and lifeguard,” said Bernadine Hines, a fellow resident of the neighborhood. “It is

Cranbury Continued from Page 6A In a presentation at the April 24 board meeting, Princeton officials sought to show that ending a sendreceive relationship has to meet a high threshold and would have a financial impact on the district’s budget.

Vittorio S. LaPira, the district’s attorney, explained the steps that would have to occur to end the relationship. He said one district would have to apply to the state Commissioner of Education to end the arrangment.

“If one board wants to terminate that relationship, it has to initiate legal action against the other board,” LaPira said.

He said a feasibility study would have to be done, a process that would involve hiring education experts to weigh whether a divorce is feasible. He said the analysis would consider the “educational and financial implications for both districts,” the impact on the quality of education for students, and the effect on the ra-

cial composition of the districts.

“It’s a significant undertaking for the experts to look at all the information and make determinations about whether or not there would be significant impacts on these areas,” LaPira said. “If any one of them has a substantial negative impact, the relationship cannot be severed.”

Another consideration is that there would have to be another high school to accept the students of the sending district, he said.

Later in the meeting, board members Beth Behrend and Greg Stankiewicz provided an analysis of the demographic and financial impacts of the Cranbury relationship.

They reported that Cranbury’s tuition of $4.8 million ($17,191 per student) is the second largest revenue item in the district’s budget.

“So without Cranbury, our budget base would contract by almost $5 million if you took that away,” Behrend said.

The tuition rate is low-

er than the per pupil cost of $19,047, their report showed.

They also found that without Cranbury students, the high school would still be over its enrollment capacity. They looked ahead to eight years’ worth of enrollment projections, beginning with the 2018-19 school year.

In every year but one, enrollment would still exceed the school’s capacity of 1,423 students, regardless of whether students from Cranbury were enrolled. In 2019-20, the high school is projected to have 1,589 students, a total that goes down to 1,491 if two grades of Cranbury students were no longer in the building.

“So this was just to show that even if Cranbury were not to be at the high school, we would still be out of space,” Behrend said.

Restaurant shall mean restaurant, hotel, coffee shop, dining room, cafeteria, luncheonette, soda fountain, sandwich stand or any other place where food or drink is prepared, handled, stored, sold or served for consumption on the premises to the public, organization members or employees, with or without charge.

Sanitize shall mean the method of removing microorganisms from surfaces as approved by the NJDOH. State Sanitary Code shall mean the New Jersey State Sanitary Code as enacted by the New Jersey Department of Health, (Sanitation in Retail Food Establishments and Food and Beverage Vending Machines, N.J.A.C. 8:24-1 et seq.).

BH: 4-2. License or Permit Required; Operation in Compliance with State Sanitary Code. (a) No person, corporation, association, partnership, other legal entity, government, or governmental subdivision or agency shall operate a fixed or mobile retail food establishment as defined in the New Jersey State Sanitary Code (Sanitation in Retail Food Establishments and Food and Beverage Vending Machines, N.J.A.C. 8:24-1 et seq.) within Princeton except under a current valid permit or license issued by the Health Department. (b) Every retail food establishment shall be operated in compliance with the New Jersey State Sanitary Code.

David Lewis Blackwell, 70 David Lewis Blackwell, age 70, died on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at his home in Princeton. David was a passionate and engaged member of the Hopewell Valley community throughout his life, dedicated to studying and sharing local history, architecture, and genealogy. He was recently named Hopewell Township’s first official Town Historian in recognition of his life’s work, an honor which brought him great joy. He was a tireless advocate for historic preservation and local history education.

David was born and raised in Pennington by Harold Blackwell and Hazel Schneider Blackwell. At the age of ten, David discovered his love for family lore and historical research. He attended Hopewell Valley Central High School before training as an architect at the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell. Throughout the years, his true love remained exploring the connections that defined his ancestors and the community. He was appointed to the Hopewell Township Historic Sites Committee and later became a founding member of the Hopewell Township Historic Preservation Commission. David was integral in researching and nominating dozens of historically significant sites to the Township’s register of Historic Places, and used his architectural background in renovating historic homes for his own family.

David was a longtime trustee of the Hopewell Valley Historical Society, having served as its President four times as well as its Secretary. Following his professional retirement in 2013, he continued his personal research, writing and assisting with numerous publications. In recent years, he held the position of archivist and curator for The Hopewell Museum. This position provided him with ongoing opportunities to interact with the public and schoolchildren. He loved to share his knowledge with others and freely gave of himself to many other researchers, authors, museum visitors, and descendants of Hopewell-area families. He contributed substantially to both Pennington Borough’s and Hopewell Borough’s recent 125th-anniversary celebrations.

David was loved and appreciated by all who knew him for his brilliant mind, remarkable memory, warmth, and wit. His impersonations of old British comedy sketches left his kids in stitches, while his vivid tales of yesteryear captivated history enthusiasts of all ages. He is irreplaceable to his colleagues, friends, and family. In devoting his life to preserving and celebrating our past, he wove himself into the fabric of our community and now holds an honored place in our local history among his ancestors.

David is survived by his five children, Rebecca of Mexico City, Morgan of Rye, NY; Andrew of Southbury, CT; Jessica and Sarah of Denver, CO; their mother, Barbara of Princeton; his six grandchildren Haley, Benjamin, Jolie, Katherine, Victoria, and Maisie; and his brother Thomas of Kissimmee, FL. His family invites those who want to share remembrances of David to the viewing, which took place from 4-8pm on Thursday, April 26th at Blackwell Memorial Home in Pennington. Burial at Harbourton Cemetery and a memorial gathering was held on Friday.

Gifts in David’s memory may be made to The Hopewell Museum or the Hopewell Valley Historical Society.

ROBERT BRUCE MIDDLEBROOK, 88 Born January 15th, 1930 in Seattle, Washington, ROBERT BRUCE MIDDLEBROOK has lived his 88-years to the fullest. He attended Magnolia Elementary School in Seattle. After graduating Summa Cum Laude as Valedictorian of the Class of 1948 at The Lakeside School in Seattle, he moved East to Princeton, NJ where he studied engineering and architecture at Princeton University. His sophomore year at Princeton University, he met Marilyn Jean Corl on a blind date set up by his high school best friend and college roommate, Arthur Langley. Bob and Marilyn married on April 4th, 1952 in Princeton, NJ just before his graduation. In 1954, he earned his Master of Fine Arts in Architecture from Princeton University.

For many years he commuted by train to Manhattan where he worked for several architecture firms as Chief of Design. These firms include: Kelly & Gruzen, John Graham & Company, Welton Becket & Associates, and Paul & Jarmul. He was in charge of design for many projects, including The United States Mission to the United Nations; 1964 World’s Fair pavilions for Coca Cola, Ford, and General Electric; corporate headquarters for Xerox; and the Federal Office Building and Court House in Rochester, NY. Then, moving closer to home, Robert worked for Rutgers University as the University Architect and Director of New Facilities during a time of expansion.

He then continued this line of work at Princeton University, his Alma Mater. During his time at Princeton he coordinated facilities work on the main campus and then he moved to partner with scientists at the Plasma Physics Laboratory who were engaged with the Tokamak fusion reactor project. Throughout his career he also hand-painted beautiful functional renderings of design projects for corporate clients, and designed private homes around Princeton, including two homes for his family, to which he added numerous additions. He never stopped thinking about design!

As a husband and family man, Robert had a good life. He and his wife, Marilyn, travelled extensively. They travelled across the US and Canada and visited Europe as well as the Far East and Africa. Here at home, they were active in the Princeton community. They were members of Community Without Walls (House 4) and shared many enjoyable times attending concerts and theatre events in town as well as taking advantage of courses offered by the University. The long-term friendships that he and Marilyn developed over the years enriched their sense of connection with neighbors and community.

Robert Bruce Middlebrook passed on Sunday, April 22, 2018 at Arden Courts in Yardley Pennsylvania where he had been struggling with dementia. He is deeply missed by his wife, Marilyn Jean Middlebrook; daughter, Carol Lynn Middlebrook of Kensington, MD; son, Robert David Middlebrook of Lawrenceville, NJ; daughterin-law and Dave’s wife, Amy; and granddaughter, Alison. He is also survived by Ada Middlebrook, the wife of his deceased older brother Bill, as well as Bill’s children Krista of Greenville, SC; Curt of Tampa, FL; and Cora of Keedysville, MD; and his younger brother Jack Middlebrook and his wife Marci of Bozeman, MT, and Jack’s children, Eric Middlebrook of Ormond Beach, FL and Lara Middlebrook Hayes of Jacksonville, FL. Robert, aka “Pop-Pop”, will be fondly remembered for his warm hugs, Sheltie ear rubs, the twinkle in his eye when he would say, “why spoil a good story by sticking just to the facts.” His fireside storytelling enriched our family traditions and was fueled by memories of generations passed.

Calling hours will be Tuesday, May 2, 2018 from 11-1 at the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Ave. in Princeton. Burial will follow at Princeton Cemetery, 29 Greenview Ave. in Princeton, followed by a late luncheon and light memorial at the Italian American Club, 8 Founders Lane in Princeton. Bob’s family warmly welcomes family and friends to join them for all or any of this remembrance and celebration of a life well lived.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org.

Wesley A. McCaughan, 93 Wesley A. McCaughan, 93, of Princeton died peacefully at his home on April 15th, surrounded by three generations of his family.

Wes was born in Hartford, CT, in 1924, to Wesley McCaughan, Sr., and Sara Wilhelmina Adams McCaughan, soon after his parents emigrated from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The family moved to Princeton in 1926. His father, a skilled master cabinetmaker, worked for the then Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research, now the Plasma Physics Laboratory. His mother was a secretary at Princeton University when very few women worked outside the home.

A 1942 graduate of Princeton High School , he then spent one year at Trenton State Teachers College, now the College of New Jersey, before being drafted in 1943. He served three years in the Signal Corps, and reached the rank of Staff Sergeant. After an additional year in the Army, he returned to Princeton. In 1948, he married Judith Ellen Vose, whom he had met just before he was shipped to Europe, and they soon became the parents of three daughters. He finished college in 1949, earning a BS in English education, and received a Masters of Education at Rutgers in 1951, with the help of the GI Bill.

In 1955, a high school classmate told him of a job opening at Princeton Country Day School, a private school for boys, which was affiliated with Miss Fine’s school for girls. Wes taught English, reading, and ancient history, and coached the baseball team. PDS and Miss Fine’s merged in 1965 and became Princeton Day School. He worked as admissions director for eight years, but then returned to his first love, teaching, for the remainder of his career—a total of 32 years at the two schools.

Wes retired in 1987, but continued his association with PDS. He was the guest of honor at a luncheon last year.

One of the accomplishments he was most proud of was his role as the co-founder, with his friend, Marshall Clagett, of the Romeos (retired old men eating out). This group, which was established over twenty years ago, met in various Princeton locations over the years. Today, five days a week, at 10 a.m., the Romeos are a familiar sight at Bon Appetit in the Princeton Shopping Center, discussing current events over coffee.

Wes was a gentleman and a scholar, a gifted educator, and a life-long learner, interested in the world around him even in his 90’s. He was revered by his students, admired by his colleagues, and cherished by his friends and family. At various stages in his life, he was an avid golfer; a photographer for N. T. Callaway Real Estate, where his wife, Judy, worked; and was a passionate surfer of the web. He was often seen in town driving his smart car, riding his bike, or taking a long stroll. He spent many happy vacations at the Jersey shore with his family.

He was predeceased by his parents; sister, Phyllis McCauley; and his beloved wife of 64 years, Judith. He is survived by three daughters, Wendy Jolley (Michael) of Princeton; Carey Hoover (Stuart), of Lawrenceville; Marny McCaughan of Riverside, IL.; seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

A celebration of Wes’s life will be held on Saturday, May 5, at 3:00 p.m. at Princeton Cemetery. All are welcome. Following the service there will be a reception at Princeton Day School, The Great Road.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Princeton Day School Scholarship Fund which will be established in his name.

Arrangements are under the direction of The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, Princeton.

André Maman André Maman, Professor Emeritus of Princeton University and former French Senator, who championed French-American political, cultural and educational relations, died at home in Princeton, New Jersey on April 13, 2018 surrounded by his family. He was born on June 9, 1927 in Oran, Algeria and completed his education at the lnstitut d’Etudes Politiques in Toulouse, France with degrees in law, economics and politics.

On September 7, 1957 he married a Norwegian, Marie (Lill) Dalane and they remained together for over 60 years.

Professor Maman started his teaching career in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, where he taught for five years at Mount Allison University. In 1958, he was offered a position at Princeton University teaching French Civilization and Culture.

Professor Maman created courses that many students considered rites of passage in their undergraduate education at Princeton. At the time it was an educational innovation to blend culture, civilization, economics and politics, and his classes attracted students from a broad variety of disciplines to the Romance Languages Department. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he also served as Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Students for several years. Professor Maman was beloved by his students and had an extensive network of alumni with whom he maintained contact long after his retirement. He won numerous teaching and mentoring awards from Princeton. In 1991, he was among four professors to receive one of Princeton’s very first Distinguished Teacher Awards.

While he maintained a full teaching and advising role at Princeton, he also served as President of the American Association of Teachers of French in America for eight years, and he was elected to the Conseil Supérieur des Français de L’Etranger of which he also served as President. He worked tirelessly to ensure that French citizens around the world received the benefits they earned and were effectively represented in France. Under his leadership, nearly fifty French associations in the U.S. worked together for major celebrations such as the bicentennial of American Independence in 1976 and to commemorate the Battle of Yorktown in 1981. He taught at Princeton until his retirement in 1993.

In 1992 he was elected as a Senator of France representing French citizens living abroad. Senator Maman travelled the world visiting both convenient and remote locations to ensure that French schools everywhere received proper support and funding from the French government. He served as a senator until 2001, with a primary interest in improving the quality of French education globally.

In 2003, in recognition of his exemplary service to France, the president of the French Senate conferred upon him one of the highest distinctions the French government can bestow, the title of Commandeur de la Légion d’Honneur.

He is survived by his wife, Lill Maman, his four children, Jean-Paul, Anne-Marie, Pierre (wife Gail) and Suzanne (husband Massai) and his ten grandchildren Mazie Stephens Sweet, Paul Stephens, Caz Maman, Pierre Maman, Henri Maman, Philippe Maman, André Maman, Emile Charles, Miles Charles and Marie Charles. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of André Maman to HomeFront in Trenton, https://www.homefrontnj.org/ or to the Southern Poverty Law Center,https:// www.splcenter.org .

Arrangements are under the direction of the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, Princeton.

Roger D. Brink, age 86 Roger D. Brink, age 86, passed away on Saturday, April 14, 2018. Roger’s parents, Loren Brink and Ruby (Walker) Brink, met in Houston, Texas, where his father was stationed during WWI. After marrying in 1920, they relocated to Prattsburgh, New York, where Roger was born. Roger’s sibling, Robert Brink, was five years his senior. The family remained in Prattsburgh through the boys’ teen years, during which time Roger graduated from Prattsburgh Central School in 1949.

After graduation, Roger attended Hamilton College, the third oldest college established in New York, where he was a member of the Charlatans acting troupe. In 1953, he graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Hamilton with a double concentration in French and Spanish.

Roger subsequently enrolled for one year of graduate school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He then received a grant from the Institute of International Education and moved to Spain to study for a year at the University of Madrid, and ultimately earned a Master’s in Spanish from Middlebury College. After graduating from Middlebury in 1955, he began teaching Spanish and French at The Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey.

In 1959, Roger began teaching Spanish at The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Teaching was his passion. His love for both teaching and the school delighted him for 38 years. Roger retired from his faculty position in 1997.

Throughout his adult life, Roger was a frequent visitor to the Houston area, where much of the Walker side of his family resided, including his then remarried mother and stepfather, Bob Wheeler. Roger and his stepfather shared a close relationship, and he enjoyed spending time at their home in Bellaire, Texas.

After Roger’s retirement from The Lawrenceville School, he was inducted as Honorary Classmate by both the Class of 1966 and the Class of 1967. On the evening of May 5, 2018, Roger will also be posthumously inducted as Honorary Classmate by the Class of 1968.

Roger was preceded in death by his brother, Robert Brink; father, Loren Brink; mother, Ruby (Walker) Wheeler; and stepfather, Bob Wheeler. He is survived by cousins, William Walker of Pearland, Texas; Norma (Walker) Quaid of Manvel, Texas; Patricia (Walker) Conard of Hendersonville, North Carolina; and Kelley (Walker) Mikeska of Pearland, Texas; as well as numerous other relatives and friends.

A memorial service will be scheduled for a future date at The Lawrenceville School Edith Memorial Chapel in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Interment will follow at Lawrenceville Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Roger D. Brink ’53 Scholarship at Hamilton College.

Those who knew Roger were familiar with his love of teaching, generous heart, fondness for travel, appreciation of art and classical music, and enjoyment of a good-hearted political debate over a glass of fine Scotch. The loss of his presence will be felt by many.

It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to our family member, friend, teacher, and neighbor. Tu enriqueciste nuestras vida al estar en ellas.

She served as President of the PTA in suburban Pittsburgh and President of the Newcomers Club for young faculty spouses at Princeton University. Following her husband’s retirement from teaching, she managed both his professional consulting practice and manufacturing business, Slip Test, Incorporated. Together they traveled intrepidly throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Ruth Ann never walked through a beautiful garden or sat down to a good bridge game she did not like. Nevertheless, her abiding passion was family. She is survived by her husband of Hightstown, NJ; children Robert L. “Ben” of Delran, NJ and Margaret (John) Ruttenberg of New York, NY; five grandchildren, three great grandchildren, and ten nieces and nephews. Her only sibling, Mary Elizabeth Barger of Winchester, MA predeceased her.

Ruth Ann’s thousand-watt smile and uproarious laugh will be sorely missed. A celebration of her life is to take place on Monday, May 14, 2018, the day after she would have turned 89. It will be held at 2:00 pm at the Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, NJ. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America or the University of Michigan.

Meghan Donohue drove in five runs to help the Hun School softball team to a 16-0 win over Princeton Day School on Tuesday. It was the Raiders’ third straight win.

Hun softball heading in right direction

By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

It took a little while to get going, but it now appears that the Hun School softball team is moving full speed ahead.

After a 1-4 start, the Raiders won their third straight game when they topped Princeton Day School, 16-0, on Tuesday.

With that victory, Hun is back to the .500 level at 4-4.

“We had a rocky start,” said junior co-captan Meghan Donohue, who had three hits and drove in five runs in the victory over the Panthers. “It has been hard battling back. Our pitcher, Alana (Pearson), has been battling back from her ACL injury so we didn’t have the start that we wanted to.

But all of us have really rallied behind her and picked it up now and we’re on a winning streak.”

The tide started to turn for the Raiders with an 8-4 victory over Lawrenceville on April 19. They followed that victory with a 1-0 triumph over Peddie on Monday and then the decision over PDS. Pearson tossed a four-hit shutout and struck out 12 in the victory

over Peddie.

It was the victory over Lawrenceville, in which Pearson and Donohue each had two hits and drove in two runs, that got the Raiders heading in the right direction.

“That was a huge win for us and it gave us confidence,” said Hun coach Kathy Quirk, whose team will be the host to Blair Academy on Saturday. “We struggle down on their field, but every time we play them here it is a good game and we rose to the occasion.”

The Raiders won the Mid-Atlantic Prep League and state Prep A tournament titles last year. With most of the cast back this season, they are hoping for a repeat performance.

“When you think about it, we lost one player from last year,” Quirk said. “As much as they gel and they are great kids, we have struggled coming together. I think they finally have gotten it and they are believing in themselves.”

Hun lost its leader from a year ago with the graduation of Julie Fassl. But with a solid group of players back, the Raiders are hop-

ing to equal last year’s accomplishments.

“To me it is pretty much the same,” said Donohue, an Englishtown resident. “I feel like our team chemistry has always been the same and I think that is exciting to see that we’re all still really close. It’s really fun playing with this team. I’m happy that our freshmen have really stepped up to the plate.

“Our chemistry is really important to us. We take the time to do a lot of team bonding and we’re friends with each other in school. It’s important to have that connection on the field and as friends.”

Like every team this spring, the Raiders have had to deal with poor weather conditions as they search for some consistency.

“I think we have done a good job of practicing hard every day, whether we’re in the gym or on the field,” Donohue said. “Some days we’re on the turf. I think everybody comes to practice ready to go and we’re ready to work. I think that is really important.

“Our big goal is to take the MAPL and states again. That’s

what we’re working for. We work towards it every day in practice.

These girls are dedicated and the hardest working girls I have ever been on a team with. I feel lucky to be a junior and a captain and he able to help lead them in that way. I feel really lucky to be on this team.”

In addition to the big day at the plate from Donohue in the victory over PDS, the Raiders received three hits from Abby Zucatti and two hits and two runs batted in from Hannah Babuschak. Julia Revock picked up the decision on the mound.

Donohue, whose career batting average hovers right around the .500 level, has been one of the players that Quirk knows her team needs to have hit in order for the Raiders to be successful.

“She is doing a nice job for us,” the Hun coach said. “She has struggled a little with her bat.

Today it finally came alive. She had two hits the other day. They are not the big, consistent hits she has had in the past but I think it is coming.”

Princeton High dominates at Mercer County Relays

By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Paul Brennan has his sights set on loftier goals for himself and the Princeton High boys’ track and field team this season.

But that doesn’t mean he and the Little Tigers can’t have some big moments along the way.

Brennan and his Princeton teammates are working toward being at their best in late May when the state sectional meet begins the start of hopefully the road to the Meet of Champions.

But last Saturday they showed they’re in pretty good shape right now with a strong performance at the Mercer County Relays, which were held at West Windsor-Plainsboro North.

“We have so many great people,” said Brennan, who won the shot put and the discus at the Mercer County Relays. “We are expecting to go far into the championship season with our sprinters, distance guys and jumpers.

We have pretty much have a person in every event. We have two of the best jumpers and one of the best pole vaulters. We are all training really hard. So to get those victories at counties and at our meet we had at Lawrenceville is icing on the cake.”

While there is no team score

kept at the Mercer County Relays, the Princeton boys came away with the unofficial team title.

Princeton finished first in six events and was second in two others to come through with the best day of any team in the field.

The Little Tigers won 4x400meter relay with Jack Whetstone, Nick Delaney, Varun Narayan and Nils Wildberg finishing in 3:25.51.

The distance medley team finished in 10:38.35 to win with Will Hare, Tucker Zullo, Acasio Pinheiro and Jackson McCarthy.

Princeton was first in the long jump relay with Narayan at 22– feet, 7-inches and Wildberg at 215.25.

The javelin relay was first with Ben Kioko at 150-2 and Will Poston at 138-09. The discus relay was first with Brennan at 164-7 and Kioko at 111-07 and the pole vault relay was first with Simon Schenk at 12-6 and Kevin Linko at 11-feet.

Brennan had the top throw in the shot put relay event at 484.25.

“My goal is to throw my best during the Meet of Champs and nationals, which are a week apart,” Brennan said. “That is the main goal for me and also for a lot of our athletes. A lot of us

can get out of the sectional and state meets. So hopefully you’l; see us at out best for the Meet of Champs. It should be pretty exciting.”

Brennan uses most of the winter season and part of the early spring season to build up his training in preparation for performing at his beat in late May and early June. Right now he feels like he is right on schedule.

“In the winter I started out all right,” he said. “I didn’t do too hot. I was training pretty hard and then I popped out one massive PR in the shot put in the middle of the season. In the championship season I had a good throw at sectionals but states didn’t go as well as I had hoped.

“I felt a little burnt out but it was a great learning experience.

Hopefully I will do better next winter. The shot is not my not my absolute best event. Overall, the winter felt successful.”

Discus is Brennan’s top event and the junior from Cranbury hopes to make the biggest splash there this spring.

“I have improved on the shot a lot,” he said. “But discus is the event that I have been dominant in for the county. That is what I am focused on right now. I feel like the shot is a great complement to the discus.”

In addition to the victories, Princeton was second in the 4×800 with Delaney, McCarthy, Hare and Pinheiro finishing in 7:56.22, which is the second best time in the state this year behind Hopewell Valley, which won the event.

The 4x100 team, which placed second, broke a 36-year Princeton school record when Wildberg, Narayan, Matt Perello and Whetstone finished in 43.51.

“I think this meet was a statement for our team,” Brennan said. “It shows we are primed and ready for the county meet.

We haven’t won a boys county title in a long time (since 1982).

So now we’re fed up and ready for another one. The relay meet showed we have a lot of depth on our team. We have a lot of different weapons in all the events and a ton of depth. That shows how prepared we are for the county meet with so many guys who can do so many great things.”

The Princeton girls picked up one first-place finish at the Mercer County Relays, as Jackie Patterson, Colleen Linko, Raina Williamson and Siena Moran came across at the head of the field in the 4x400 in 4:05.38. Princeton also finished second in the 4x600 and the distance medley.

The Princeton Packet 13A

Cougars’ McCarthy a late bloomer on golf course Jake McCarthy didn’t receive the early start that a lot of the top high school golfers get.

McCarthy didn’t begin playing high school golf until he was a sophomore at Montgomery High.

And golf isn’t even his top sport-he’s been a wrestler since he was young.

But he caught the golfing bug and has steadily progressed to the point where he is one of the top golfers for one of the state’s top programs.

“I started playing my sophomore year,” said McCarthy, a senior who has shot 40 or below in every match this season for the Cougars. “I had played for fun with my dad and for fun a couple of times as a freshman. It was not until I was coming into my sophomore year that I really started to take it seriously. I was always a member at a club and one day my dad said let’s go play golf. And then I started to really get into it.”

Even then, McCarthy’s golf took a back seat to wrestling.

“I have been wrestling since third grade, so for a long time,” he said. “It runs through my mind sometimes and I wonder how I would be doing if I started golf earlier. But I am trying to make the most of it and get as good as I can and see what I can do it.”

McCarthy has shot a 37 in each of Montgomery’s last two regular season matches, including Tuesday’s 162-166 loss to Watchung Hills that dropped the team’s record to 5-2.

“It is incredible what he has been doing,” Montgomery coach Joe Bassford said. “He didn’t come out as a freshman. He just started playing going into his sophomore year and I have never seen somebody pick up the game as quickly as him.”

Playing as well as he has played this year is impressive considering the poor conditions golfers have suffered through this spring. But McCarthy has made the most of it.

“There have been a lot of times we couldn’t get out either because it was too cold or raining and it even snowed a couple of times,” McCarthy said. “I wrestle in the winter so coming off that season I am usually rusty. Right after wrestling ends I can go out and play golf. But this year the weather was bad. We tried to go out on the range when it 35 degrees and snowing and cold. We did the best with that given the conditions.”

Montgomery finished fifth as a team at the Somerset County Tournament on Monday that was played at the Neshanic Valley Golf Course. Earlier this season, the Cougars were seventh at the Galloway National Challenge at the Galloway National Golf Club.

“I think we have four or five solid guys who can all play well,” McCarthy said. “If we all play well, I don’t think anyone can beat us. As a team we’re trying to win another state sectional. We’ve won the past three so we’re go-

That is big on our minds and eventually we’re trying to win a group title.

“Individually, I want to win a high school tournament. I came close a couple of times last year.

At High Bridge I played really well but I had a couple of mistakes that hurt me.”

Bassford has had a number of successful teams at Montgomery and feels like this current team has the makings of one that could enjoy its share of success.

“I have been lucky to get some

kids that can play and play a lot and work at their games a lot,” Bassford said. “They are well aware of the history and success of the team. I feel like each team wants to get their name in the books and I feel like they are always playing for their legacy as well.

“We don’t have a lot of guys.

We only have 11 so we do lack a little bit of depth compared to years past. Our top four are shooting low numbers and after that our numbers go up. We have

some guys that are learning. With the weather they have embraced the idea of getting better every day. They never complain. They embrace the idea of team, which is not always easy in golf.”

The Cougars finished third in the Group III and Group IV Division at the High Bridge Hills Tournament at the High Bridge Hills Golf Club on Wednesday.

Thompson led the Cougars with a 75, which was just three shots off the lead.

Participants must attend both sessions. Space in the program is limited.

POOR ORAL HEALTH LINKED TO FRAILTY It has long been established that healthy gums and strong teeth go a long way toward preserving well-being. Recently, this association was clearly demonstrated by a study that found that tooth loss, gum disease, tooth decay, and dry mouth may be linked with increased risks of frailty in older adults, especially men.

“Frailty” is a medical term used to describe becoming weak and more vulnerable to declining health or the inability to perform daily activities. It is often assessed based on having at least three of the following symptoms: exhaustion, weak grip strength, slow walking speed, weight loss, or low levels of physical activity. Good oral health ensures the ability to adhere to a nutritious diet, which builds strength.

To maintain good dental hygiene and a healthy smile, it is essential to take the

necessary steps to prevent both tooth decay and periodontal disease. Research repeatedly demonstrates that those people who own better dental health live longer, stay healthier longer, and enjoy a better life. If you’d like to maximize your oral health, why not call us a, 609924-8300 for an appointment?

‘A Little Night Music’ at ActorsNET of Bucks County Has Charm, Heart and Wonderful Singing

A

ctorsNET of Bucks County’s production of ‘A Little Night Music” is the third I’ve seen, and it has some things the previous two lacked — humor and heart. I’ve always walked away from the show in awe of the music and the singing, never before was I so invested in the characters. And this version also has some terrific singing, so it has it all.

The show features miraculous music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Its book is by Hugh Wheeler, based on the 1955 film “Smiles of a Summer Night” by the legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman. The plot isn’t complicated so much as it’s layered. “A Little Night Music” is set in Sweden at the start of the last century, and opens with cast members warming up their voices, leading into the overture and a waltzing cast. Characters switch partners, trying to find the perfect match — including taking turns dancing alone. It’s clear early on we’re in for something special as the small orchestra, led by Lee Milhous, plays Sondheim’s waltz score perfectly.

The first characters we meet are Madame Armfeldt (Susan Blair), and her granddaughter, Frederikia (Keli Ganey). The old woman tells the girl how the summer night smiles three times — on the young, on fools and on the old. Frederikia is determined to see those smiles and vows to pay close attention to the night.

We then meet the players who drive the plot. First there’s Fredrik Egerman (George Hartpence) a middleaged lawyer married to Anne (Alize Rozsnyai), who is 18, and still a virgin after 11 months of marriage. Meanwhile, Fredrik’s son, Henrik (Matt South), is a seminary student who’s sullen, and the brunt of many jokes. Anne has feelings for Henrik, who’s fooling around with the servant Petra (Noelle Joy Fiorentino).

Fredrik comes home with tickets to the theater — the star Desiree Armfeldt (Carol Thompson) is performing.

Fredrik and Anne retreat to their room, which sets up the wonder trio of numbers — “Now,” “Later” and “Soon.”

Fredrik sings “Now” in which he debates his options: making love to his wife or taking a nap. The song features wonderfully clever lyrics in which an older guy debates whether if the promise of passion is worth undressing: “That might be effective/My body’s all right/But not in perspective/And not in the light/I’m bound to be chilly/ And feel a buffoon/But nightshirts are silly/In mid-afternoon.”

Hartpence’s voice has charm. He also acts wonderfully when singing, delivering lines with humor and also getting laughs with his facial expressions. South shares his fine voice during “Later,” during which Henrik sings his

From left: Carol Thompson, John Helmke, Keli Ganey and Susan Blair in ‘A Little Night Music.’ frustration with always being dismissed. Then Rozsnyai brings her terrific singing to “Soon.”

Next, we meet Desiree as she and the people who work with her sing the rousing “The Glamorous Life.” Desiree is Frederika’s mother (and Madame Armfeldt’s daughter), and the song is a letter from Desiree to her daughter. During this song, we learn life on the road isn’t exciting at all (“half-empty” houses, la, la, la/Hi-ho the glamorous life”) and that Madame Armfeldt won’t allow Frederika to travel from theater to theater with Desiree.

Fredrik and Desiree have a past and make eye contact during Desiree’s performance. Anne notices, gets jealous, and demands she and her husband leave. Fredrik returns to the theater, and he and Desiree talk over old times before heading to the bedroom. Thompson and Hartpence are married in real life and they are delightful together, delivering their characters’ playful barbs during “You Must Meet My Wife.”

Desiree has another lover, Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm (Nicholas Pecht), a comically formal and intimidating sort. He is livid when he finds Fredrik in Desiree’s hotel room, wearing his robe. Desiree comes up with a story about Fredrik falling into her bathtub. But the Count is doubtful, and angry — sleeping with a man’s wife is one thing, but sleeping with his mistress is out of bounds with this guy. Pecht is a riot when singing “In Praise of Women,” as Malcolm tries to figure out what’s going on.

Meanwhile his wife, Countess Charlotte (Holly Gash), would like her husband to stop straying.

The first act sets up all of this and ends with everyone headed to Madame Armfeldt’s home with the stunning “A Weekend in the Country,” sung by the entire company with power, enthusiasm and humor. It’s a dandy, and sets up Act 2 perfectly. In addition to everything else this show

is known for, “A Little Night Music” is a lesson in perfect structure.

The entire cast shines. Thompson is perfect as Desiree — smart, sassy but also vulnerable at times, illustrating her character’s longing for a life away from the road with her daughter and the man she loves. She’s also smart and clever enough to plan a way to make that happen. Thompson gets to sing the show’s most famous song, “Send in the Clowns.” It’s one of those songs that is heard so often, you can forget how good it is. You’ll remember after hearing Thompson sing it.

Some of the best singers are performers who are making their debut with ActorsNET. In playing Anne, Rozsnyai sings with power and also brings intelligence to the young woman married to an older man. Fiorentino brings a stellar voice and a lot of charm and humor to Petra. Her bio states this marks her return to acting after a break of several years, and the timing is fortuitous. Alyssa Brode (who plays Mrs. Nordstrom), Rachel Sigman (Mrs. Anderssen) and Carolyn Cuesta (Mrs. Segstrom) are in the chorus, and hearing them sing is a pleasure.

The cast also gets a lot of laughs. Anne talks about knowing Fredrik since she was a child. He was a friend of her father’s and she used to call him Uncle Fredrik. “And now you’re my husband, isn’t that amusing?” Anne asks.

Rozsnyai delivers the line perfectly and Hartpence’s reaction is priceless. Pecht is a blast as the Count, as is Gash as the Countess.

And of course, there are Blair and Ganey who frame the story and pull off the ending in a way that brings a tear to the eye and a warm feeling to the heart.

Director David Deratzian has done a wonderful job, assembling a top-notch cast, coming up with some clever staging and finding the perfect pace for this evening.

The sets are lovely, poles painted as birch trees, with more trees painted on backdrops to add depth. Set pieces such as a stone bench, a daybed, desk, etc. are used at various times, and the set changes are done swiftly, keeping the show moving. Lastly, the costumes by Kimberly Hess, Cheryl Doyle and Ruth Schanbacher are stunning.

It runs nearly three hours, but goes by swiftly. This production of “A Little Night Music” is charming, elegant and offers beautiful night music indeed.

“A Little Night Music” continues at The Heritage Center Theatre, 635 N. Delmorr Ave., Morrisville, Pennsylvania, through May 6. Performances: Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 2 p.m.

Loren Allred entertained the crowd during Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s annual gala, April 21.

PSO Holds Annual Gala Loren Allred, the singing voice behind Rebecca Ferguson’s portrayal of the legendary Jenny Lind in the film “The Greatest Showman,” brought her vocal talents, and a taste of Hollywood, to Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s “Puttin’ on the Glitz” Red Carpet Gala, April 21 at Jasna Polana country club in Princeton.

Nearly 200 attendees contributed to funds raised for the orchestra and its PSO BRAVO! education programs, particularly to continue the PSO’s commitment to bringing the orchestra into the Trenton Public Schools.

The venue was decked-out for the occasion with scarlet carpets, red velvet and brass stanchions, and a starlit dining room adorned with ostrich-plumed centerpieces created by gala chair Stephanie Wedeking.

Allred brought everyone to their feet with her performance of “Never Enough,” now on the platinum-selling soundtrack of “The Greatest Showman,” setting the perfect tone for a thrilling live auction.

The high-end auction offerings included tickets and VIP treatment to “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,

Parts I & II” on Broadway; vacation stays in a charming Penobscot Bay waterfront cottage and elegant 18th century farmhouse in Dorset, England; and a collection of California vintage wines from a family-owned vineyard. Wedeking attributes the auction’s success to guests’ hunger for something different. “People have enough things, what they’re looking for are unique, one-of-a-kind experiences they can’t find anywhere else,” she said.

Following the success of last year’s PSO BRAVO! Challenge which made possible a performance by the orchestra for Trenton school children scheduled for May, attendees were encouraged to pledge funds to continue to provide such concerts in the future to Trenton children and programs to students at schools throughout the area.

“The Gala is our big fundraiser for the year,” Wedeking said. “It’s vital for the organization. The money raised supports the entire organization not just for outreach, but to support high-quality performances by the PSO. This is my second year as gala chair, and it’s such a pleasure to work with the orchestra, Executive Director Marc Uys, and the entire PSO staff. They’re always striving for excellence.”

Stories Told in Fabric

‘Interwoven Stories’ got its start in Princeton, has traveled the world, and is returning home

n the fall of 2016, Diana Weymar introduced her “Interwoven Stories” project to the area during a residency with the Arts Council of Princeton. The project involved Weymar creating fabric “pages”, stitching red and blue lines on white cloths so that they resembled loose leaf pages.

Those pages were the canvas for a community-wide project, with participants creating images of threads, stitching words into the pages or a combination of both. Weymar offered suggestions, such as creating an image of a favorite place in Princeton, or participants could create whatever they wanted. The pages and supplies needed to create a page were provided by the arts council.

It was a concept Weymar had worked on on a smaller scale, and the Princeton project was the first time she did it on a community-wide basis. Weymar and Maria Evans, the arts council’s artistic director, were so impressed by the re-

sults they displayed the pages in an exhibit at the arts council’s Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.

As it turns out, that was just the start of the project, which is returning to the Paul Robeson Center with “Interwoven Stories: International,” May 12 through June 23. This version will feature hundreds of pages created by people in Princeton, and also from around the world.

“The project has traveled,” Weymar says. “We decided to do this show because, first of all, people in Princeton are still making pages, so the project in Princeton has continued to grow. And then it’s gone to these different places.”

Those places include Nantucket; Damascus; Victoria, British Columbia; and the University of Pugent Sound.

“It’s been pretty interesting to incubate the project in Princeton then to travel with it because it gets tested every single time you go to a new place with it,” Weymar says.

“So it seems like a good time to bring it back to Princeton

for the community to see.”

Weymar tracked down many of the locations that took on the project herself. “I had always wanted to do the project on the island of Nantucket, with the summer and yearround community, and because of the history of craft on the island, it was a very natural fit,” she says.

She brought “Interwoven Stories” to Zen Hospice in San Francisco. That came about through B.J. Miller who, when he was a student at Princeton University in 1990, climbed a Dinky train, was electrocuted and lost his legs and an arm as a result. He went on to become a doctor and was the executive director at Zen Hospice for five years.

In working on “Interwoven Stories,” Weymar has traveled around the country and the world. She made pages for each destination, and her involvement with each chapter of “Interwoven Stories” ranged from introducing the project to

spending time there and helping to organize and facilitate the pages.

One place she didn’t go to was Demascus in Syria. That city’s involvement began in December, when Weymar was in Bogota, Colombia, where she meet a woman from Demascus.

The Demascus pages are the only ones Weymar didn’t make. “They’re different because the fabric is local, so it’s lighter, it’s more sheer,” she says. “Also, they made the pages with the pink line on the right because they’re reading right to left.”

Each location’s pages reflect their respective communities. One of Weymar’s favorites was made by a woman named Barbara at Zen Hospice. It’s a stitched selfie of the woman. Embroidered into the page are the words, “I never thought I would see the world through cancer-colored glasses.”

Barbara didn’t intend to create a page, but interviewed Weymar for a story about the project in a newsletter.

“She told herself before she interviewed B me that she was not going to take a kit, she didn’t have the time, she was not going to do it,” Weymar says. “And then she had this idea and she came back to me about a month-and-a-half later with this page. It’s amazing, it’s an amazing page. To get to that point with an illness, I think is pretty incredible. To want to make something like that, with that sense of humor about it and

Pam Hersh

One thousand years of history

I went into Labyrinth Books on Princeton’s Nassau Street April 17 to snatch a snippet of history by purchasing the James Comey book “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership.”

Instead, I became immersed in thousands of years of history by listening to a discussion of the Martin Goodman book “A History of Judaism.”

Mr. Comey’s book of 277 pages took one night to read. I needed no one to explain the lessons of he book, because in the past two weeks, dozens of experts — including Mr. Comey — have inundated the media with interviews, interpreting the significance of the tome. Dr. Goodman’s book of 656 pages may be a summer-long project. I knew after reading 30 pages that I needed the wisdom of Princeton History Professor Anthony Grafton to lift the lessons out of this panoramic history of the Jewish religion.

The common lesson emerging from both books is that learning from history is crucial to the survival of our civilization.

Furthermore, we perhaps should take a few lessons from the survival of Judaism in order to navigate our currently chaotic time in the history of the United States.

Labyrinth owner Dorothea von Moltke asked Professor Grafton, a worldrenowned authority in the area of early modern Europe, to moderate the discussion with Oxford University Professor Goodman. He willingly accepted the invitation, because all of his scholarship has been punctuated by a commitment to the value of scholarly work that engages the broader public. The event was part of Labyrinth’s literary salon program, an intellectual and cultural treasure for the Princeton community.

Author Martin Goodman (left) and Princeton History Professor Anthony Grafton at a discussion of Goodman’s book, “A History of Judaism” at Labyrinth Books.

Before the Labyrinth event, I had met Grafton several times, but mostly in the context of him being the husband of Louise Grafton, also renowned, but as an artistic theater set designer. Their home environment is a funky mix of Louise’s fantastical stage props and sculptures with Tony’s library of early printed folios in Latin and Greek, shelves bulging with books, papers, and binders of notes.

I never heard Grafton lecture, but was well aware that his special interests lie in the cultural history of Renaissance Eu-

rope, the history of books and readers, the history of scholarship and education in the West from Antiquity to the 19th century, and the history of science from Antiquity to the Renaissance. He told me his current project is researching the way in which early scholars thought about early Christianity.

Even though it’s foolhardy to attempt a thumbnail sketch of a book on such a complicated and comprehensive subject like the history of Judaism — a topic outdone perhaps only by a history of world civilization — I nevertheless created my short and stunningly superficial description as pulled from the Labyrinth discussion and several reviews of the book.

“The History of Judaism,” as opposed to the history of the Jewish people, explains how Judaism came to be and how it has developed from one age to the next, as well as the ways in which its varieties have related to each other. “A History of Judaism” ranges from Judaism’s inception in the second and first millennia, through the Jerusalem Temple cult in the centuries preceding its destruction, to the rabbis, mystics and messiahs of medieval and early modern times, and, concluding with the many expressions of the modern and contemporary Jewish worlds.

“The book is very well written, very readable and accessible,” said Professor Grafton. He [Professor Goodman] conveys a simple and clear lesson — Judaism never has been just one unified approach to belief.

“There always have been multiple strains of Judaism. People calling themselves Jewish always have worshiped in different ways, understood and interpreted the Bible differently, had very different

life styles. . . . Many Jews feel the temptation to declare that there is only one kind of Judaism — “my” kind — all others are wrong. Historically, there are many types of Judaism. It is a religion that is continually evolving. . . . It never has been just one thing.”

Grafton added that Goodman shows how those strains have often “adopted incompatible practices and ideas — about the authority of ancestral traditions, the meaning of scripture, the nature of God, the afterlife and the End of Days — but that disagreement has almost always been tolerated without schism.

“Professor Goodman is particularly interested in moments when Jews are tolerant of other Jews who disagree. He likes to see the possibility of Jews willing to talk to and worship with other Jews. I particularly enjoy the descriptions of the Jewish mystics talking and debating very late into the night about God and rituals.”

The bottom line about Judaism is that people argued and debated continually with one another and got on each other’s nerves over the course of thousands of years. Instead of the religion blowing up, it evolved and people continued to live and work together — and more forward.

The words of wisdom from Grafton about the lessons of the book were particularly comforting to me in the context of the schism now reflected in the Comey/ Trump interpretation of the principles of the Constitution, rule of law, and American democratic form of government.

Perhaps Americans for the sake of the country will be able rant and rave at one another — but nevertheless be tolerant of opposing views and move forward peacefully.

Normal signs of aging or something more?

Do you suffer from fatigue or forgetfulness?

Have you gained weight recently?

For a lot of people, feeling tired or mentally foggy, or putting on some extra pounds, can be the result of lifestyle changes, such as not getting enough sleep, extra stress, or not enough exercise as they grow older.

However, for many others, especially women,

these could be signs of an underactive thyroid, called hypothyroidism, a medical condition that, once diagnosed, can be easily managed with the help of a physician.

Small gland, big job Your thyroid is a twoinch long, butterfly-shaped endocrine gland located in the middle of your lower neck. The gland produces hormones (T3 and T4) that

regulate your body’s metabolic rate — the rate at which your body produces energy from nutrients and oxygen — and influences every cell, tissue and organ in your body.

Thyroid hormones help your body use energy, stay warm, and keep the brain, heart, muscles and other organs functioning properly. Thyroid hormone production is regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is made by the pituitary gland in the brain. When thyroid hormone levels in the blood are low, the pituitary gland releases more TSH, as it tries to “yell” at the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormones. When thyroid hormone levels are too high, the pituitary decreases TSH production, like a whisper.

One in every eight women According to the American Thyroid Association, an estimated 20 million Americans suffer from some form of thyroid disease. The association also reports women are five to eight times more likely than men to have thyroid problems and one in every eight women will develop a thyroid disorder in her lifetime.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common thyroid disorders. It occurs when thyroid hormone levels are too low and thus cause the body’s processes to slow down.

Causes of hypothyroid-

Dr. Gabriel Smolarz ism include: • Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system mistakes the thyroid gland cells for invaders and attacks them.

This is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States.

• Surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland, typically to treat thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer.

• Radiation treatment for cancers of the head and neck.

• Being born with an incomplete thyroid.

• Iodine deficiency (less common).

• Damage to the pituitary gland (less common).

Range of symptoms Hypothyroidism can cause a range of symptoms that vary from person to person and are often associated with other diseases.

Symptoms include: • Fatigue or low energy • Changes in hair, skin and nails • Constipation • Irregular menstrual cycles • Cold intolerance

• Weight gain • Decreased sweating • Depression or other mood disorder Typically, hypothyroidism develops slowly so many people fail to notice the symptoms of the disease. The American Thyroid Association reports that as many as 60 percent of Americans with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition.

A simple blood test and medication If you experience symptoms of hypothyroidism, your doctor will likely order one or more blood tests to confirm the diagnosis and identify its cause.

The initial TSH test is the most accurate measure of thyroid activity available, according to the National Institutes of Health.

This test can detect even tiny amounts of TSH in the blood.

An elevated amount of TSH — a reading of 2.5 or greater — is generally indicative of an underactive thyroid. In most cases, doctors will follow up with a test to measure the amount of free T4 in the blood. Low levels of free T4 coupled with elevated TSH levels indicate hypothyroidism, though even elevated levels of TSH with normal free T4 may indicate hypothyroidism.

Once diagnosed, hypothyroidism can be treated and controlled with medication to bring TSH and T4 levels back to normal.

The primary medication

— synthetic thyroxine — is identical to the T4 hormone the human thyroid makes. Patients must take the medication every day to replace the T4 hormone the thyroid gland can no longer produce.

Typically, once adjusted and a stable dose is reached, thyroid medication is well tolerated and has few side effects. Some patients need T3 added to the T4, but this varies from person to person.

Here I am with my family.

Jonathan, Abigail, Laurel, and my husband Tom.

Cell: 908-391-8396 | Email: donnamurray@comcast.net | www.donnamurrayrealestate.com

Q

. Tell us about yourself.

A. I grew up in a small town called Silver Creek,

which is in the western section of Chautauqua County, NY, an hour past Buffalo on Lake Erie. I’m still a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills. I then worked as a flight attendant for American Airlines for 18 years, traveling the world, before going into Real Estate.

Q

. Tell us about your family.

A. My husband Tom works for American Airlines

as a 777 Captain Check Airman. He recently had the honor of serving as one of the four captains who flew Pope Francis during his U.S. visit. We have three children, who attended St. Paul’s School in Princeton and Notre Dame High School (’09, ’11, ’13) in Lawrenceville. Jonathan graduated Rutgers Engineering program and works for TD Securities, Abigail is a grad student at Rider going for a Masters in Clinical Mental Health, and Laurel is graduating Seton Hall in May 2017 and continuing there in the fall for grad school.

Q

. What do you like to do for fun?

A. I love taking our Cavalier King Charles dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, for walks on the many

253 Nassau Street Princeton, NJ 08540 609-924-1600

nature trails in the area. I also love to entertain and enjoy volunteering in the community. Most importantly, I cherish when my family of five can coordinate our busy schedules to spend some quality time together.

Q

. What do you see in the future for Real Estate?

A. Real Estate is continuing to change quickly with the

times. More listings will have interactive floorplans, 3D virtual tours, aerial drone pictures, etc., and the industry will continue to find new innovations for enticing buyers. Buyers search online, wanting to be equipped with as much information as possible before choosing to visit a home, and I anticipate that trend continuing with the aid of technology.

Q

. To what do you attribute your success in Real Estate over the past 20 years?

A. I am patient with my clients and enjoy educating them on real estate in our area. I do my best to treat each client and property with the same care. I don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to providing service or marketing a home as I would my own, no matter the size of the home or the price point. My motto is “From starter to stately homes, and everything in between.” I also maintain my knowledge of the ever-changing inventory, have excellent negotiating skills, and stay up to date on industry technology.

Here are my two dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, playing in our backyard.
