Authorities identify Lake Carnegie drowning victim By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A man who went for a swim in Lake Carnegie and who subsequently disappeared under water, has drowned, according to the Princeton Police Department. Talven Page, 23, of Trenton, swam in the lake for a few min-

utes and then disappeared under water shortly before 3 p.m. on Aug. 10, police said. Police were notified at 2:52 p.m. that a man had jumped into Lake Carnegie off the dock near the boat ramp. When he disappeared in the water and did not resurface, police were called. Three police officers arrived

within three minutes of receiving the 911 call. Two police officers went into the water in the area where the man’s friend reported seeing him enter the water, and observed bubbles coming to the surface. A third police officer probed the area with a pole, while one of the two police officers dove

underwater. He located the man, grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the lake and onto the dock. The police officers and Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad emergency medical technicians began to use cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to attempt to revive the man at 3:03 p.m. The man was taken to the Uni-

versity Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro, where he was pronounced dead at 3:54 p.m. about an hour after the 911 call was made. The incident remains under investigation by the Princeton Police Department Detective Bureau.

Man’s best friend: Local animal shelter works to put pets first By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent

Clutching kittens as they answer calls, the receptionists at the Small Animal Veterinary Endowment (SAVE) animal shelter in Skillman work as the de facto starting line for people looking to add a furry companion to their home. In the lobby, benches dedicated to SAVE animals like Audrey, the orange tabby cat, give visitors an inkling into just how important the creatures housed there are to everyone involved. So as National Clear the Shelters Day approaches on Aug. 18, those at SAVE are hoping to help their feline and canine friends can find new homes. This Saturday, shelters like SAVE across the country will do what they can to get the pets in their care into good, loving homes. That generally means lower adoption fees, as well as a concerted effort to bring animal lovers into shelters and raise awareness to the “adopt, don’t shop” mentality. “It’s a great time to be in this day and age to adopt a homeless animal, because people are much more open to it,” Heather Achenbach, executive director at SAVE, said. “They used to think it meant [the animals] were damaged. ‘How did it get there? It must not be good.’ Or, ‘Oh it spent time there, it must be damaged.’ No they’re not.” SAVE — which was originally founded in 1941 by Princeton resident and veterinarian Dr. Cornelia Jaynes and her friend Emily Myrick — joined forces with the Princeton non-profit Friends of Homeless Animals in 2006, and has been in operation in Skillman

since 2015. It works with Princeton, Lawrence, Hopewell, Montgomery, Cranbury and South Brunswick Township animal control officers to “provide a safe haven for lost, stray, or abandoned cats and dogs,” according to its website. Achenbach, who celebrated her one-year anniversary with the non-profit back in June, regularly walks through the various cat rooms, greeting each pet by name. Many of the cats, she said, come to the shelter via animal control or “owner surrender,” meaning that the animal’s owner passed away, or they can no longer keep them. “People find [cats] under their porches, in their sheds, in their backyards, under their car. So animal control is obligated to bring them here,” she said. Similarly, many dogs are brought to the shelter from animal control, most commonly if they are lost. Because of this, 80 percent of dogs that come to the shelter are reclaimed by their owner, Achenbach said. Only 20 percent of cats are reclaimed. “If animal control brings us an animal, they stay with us for seven days — a lost or stray hold. That’s time for the owner to find that pet and claim it,” she said. “After the seven days, SAVE makes the decision on if that is an animal we want to put up for adoption. And it becomes our pet, and that’s when you see them on the adoption floor.” Not every cat cage or dog kennel run is filled, however, as SAVE brands itself as a limited admission shelter. While SAVE has a capacity for 100 animals — 75 cats and 25

Dems will choose from party hopefuls for freeholder seat By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Seven Democrats have confirmed they are running to fill a vacant seat on the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Lawrence Township Councilman Michael Powers; former West Windsor Councilman Ka-

mal Khanna; Ewing Councilwoman Jennifer Keyes-Malone; Roberto Hernandez, president of the Mercer County Latino Democratic Caucus; Sasa Olessi Montano, the chief executive officer of Meals on Wheels of Mercer County; Lance Lopez Sr.; and Tennille McCoy are aiming to replace Democrat Anthony Verrelli, who resigned his freeholder seat to join the state Assembly earlier this month. Members of the Democratic county committee are due to re-

place Verrelli on Sept. 5 when they choose someone to serve the remainder of his three-year term. Verrelli was elected to the freeholder board in 2016. “This is actually, I think, a really exciting time in our county that there are so many people interested in this seat,” Olessi Montano said on Aug. 15. “I think it probably mirrors the national perspective that so many people are stepping up and that’s the democratic way.” She is a former member of the

Trenton Board of Education, in the city where she resides. On Aug. 14, Olessi Montano, Keyes-Maloney, Khanna, Hernandez and McCoy went before the Democratic municipal committee in West Windsor to introduce themselves and talk about their candidacies. “I’m in it,” Khanna said on Aug. 15. “I think for me, it’s the right time.” Powers, a member of the Lawrence council for 14 years, has served as mayor of the municipal-

ity for two terms. “It’s an opportunity to bring the skills I’ve had at the township level to the county level,” he said on Aug. 15. Lopez, also of Lawrence Township, is a former president of the state corrections officers union. He has been a corrections officer for 23 years and is a veteran of the Army, a background he feels will be an asset as a freeholder. See FREEHOLDER, Page 7A

Fee established for Princeton mayor to perform weddings By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The honeymoon is over for couples who want to have Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert perform their wedding for free, as the town will begin imposing a fee of up to $200 later this year for the mayor to officiate their nuptials.

Council members unveiled an ordinance this week which will establish a $50 charge for Princeton residents and a $200 charge for nonresidents to have the mayor or, in her absence, the council president do the honors at a marriage or civil union. The cost will be assessed per couple, with the lower rate applying if the bride or

groom is from Princeton. “We have been finding there are more and more wedding requests, often for people who don’t live in Princeton,” Lempert told reporters on Aug. 13 in explaining the decision to create the fee. She said that up to now, municipal officials have asked couples to donate money and have

TOOTH DISCOLORATION

As we live longer, older adults have every expectation of preserving their chewing ability and oral health. In cases where tooth replacement is necessary, dental implants have emerged as the most naturallooking and best functioning option. To best gauge how dental-implant patients feel about their dental restorations, a questionnaire was sent to 587 patients, eight to fourteen years after their procedures. Of the 400 individuals who responded, a great majority (81 percent) indicated that they experienced high chewing comfort. The mean time elapsed since implant installation was 10 years. Fully 94 percent of those answering the survey said that they were satisfied or sufficiently satisfied with the aesthetic aspects of their implant restorations. In addition to the way other people see you, the many methods of cosmetic dentistry can greatly improve the way

you see yourself. Thanks to procedures like whitening by Zoom!, bonding, veneers, Invisaline®, and contouring, you can have the smile you’ve always wanted. At our state-ofthe-art family dental office, we will use all our skills, artistry, and experience to design a treatment plan that exactly suits your needs and lifestyle. For an appointment at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, please call 609-9248300. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.” “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.” Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

this role I’m in.” In his remarks, Perry touched on the potential game-changing work of finding new energy. “If we are able to deliver fusion energy to the world, we’ve changed the world forever,” he said. Later, he touched on the national security facet of the work that goes on at the labs, stating that they play an “intricate role” in “the tracking of nuclear materials around the world.” “As we watch the gyrations of the world we live in today, with what’s going on with Iran, North Africa, you all play a very important role, the Department of Energy plays an incredibly important role as we deal with and … that we’re successful in being able to demilitarize a part of the

U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry on Aug. 9 told employees at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory that they and their colleagues at other national laboratories are engaged in critical work from finding new energy to aiding in national security. This was Perry’s first visit as the head of the Department of Energy to the government-funded lab located on Princeton University’s Forrestal campus in Plainsboro. “The things you do, the projects you work on, the science you are developing, has the potential to change the world,” he said. “That is the incredibly exciting thing I find about being in

The state gave towns the green light to charge for weddings in 2007, but Lempert said the issue never came up until now. “We felt that because of time from the clerk’s office and other administrative overhead, that we should really be charging a fee for the service,” she said. “I think we felt one way about providing service for Princeton residents, but given the volume of couples where neither one of them were Princeton residents and we were providing a free service but it was

sure on Aug. 27. Based on that timeline, the charge would go into effect in September. Asked why the community is a hotspot in which to get married, Lempert said Princeton is “a wonderful place” for newlyweds to celebrate over lunch at a local restaurant. She showed how the website datingadvice.com listed the town among its 12 “unexpectedly perfect cities to get married in,” ranked third behind Montpelier, Vt., and Newport, R.I. “It’s a beautiful town,” the mayor said. “People like to have it on their certificate.”

She said she was the busiest performing marriages in 2013, her first year in office, right after a state Superior Court judge legalized same-sex marriage in New Jersey. “At that point there were a lot of couples from around the state who were coming here,” she said, “because I think they wanted to be married by somebody who had been outspoken in support of the decision.” The council was expected to introduce the ordinance at its meeting Aug. 13 and then have a public hearing and adopt the mea-

Princeton has street signs that tell motorists when to stop and to yield and, most recently, when to watch out for turtles. Mercer County installed, on sections of Harrison Street in Princeton and in neighboring West Windsor, signs with an image of a smiling turtle. The origin of how the signs got there began after Access Princeton, the municipality’s customer service center, received a report that turtles were spotted crossing at Harrison Street, a municipal official said this week. Municipal engineer Deanna Stockton said on

In his remarks, he shared some details of his life growing up as the son of tenant farmers in a town where the nearest post office was 16 miles away. “To say I came from rural Texas would be an understatement,” he said. Perry called being governor of his home state the “best job” he ever had or will have, but said his current post was equally gratifying. “But the coolest job … I ever had is this one and it’s because of these national labs,” he said. “You are part of an amazing infrastructure in this country.”

commitments to innovation, to service and, importantly, to fusion,” Eisgruber said. “His leadership of the United States Department of Energy has shown a clear commitment to innovation and to the critical research that takes place at national labs like this one.” Perry’s New Jersey visit also included visiting with President Donald J. Trump, who was vacationing in the state at his golf club in Bedminster. During his short talk at the lab, Perry answered pre-submitted questions, including which NFL team he roots for as the former Texas governor - the Dallas Cowboys or the Houston Texans.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Friday, August 17, 2018

By Michele S. Byers

Be sure to catch the Perseids meteor showers this month You’re looking up at the night sky when – whoosh! – a brilliant streak of light whizzes past so quickly you almost miss it. Some shooting stars contain ancient stardust, far older than our young solar system - tiny diamonds manufactured deep within an exploding star somewhere in our Milky Way galaxy over 10 billion years ago! Everything on Earth except hydrogen atoms - essentially all of you and everything you have ever seen, breathed, or touched – came from nuclear fusion deep within a collapsing star that exploded long ago. As Carl Sagan said, “we are made of star-stuff.” Shooting stars are meteors. Most are tiny and disintegrate into dust in the atmosphere. A meteor fragment large enough to reach the ground is a meteorite, like the 1969 Allende Meteorite that fell into the Chihuahuan desert in Mexico, or the 2008 Almahata Sitta meteorite that fell into the Nubian Desert in Sudan. Comet Swift-Tuttle was first recorded by the Chinese in 69 BC. Its orbital path brings it near Earth only about every 133 years. We will need to worry on about September 15, 4479, when it passes extremely close to our Earth-moon system. But every August we pass right through a dust and meteor cloud strewn through Swift-Tuttle’s orbital path. As the dust

and tiny fragments fall through our atmosphere, friction with air incinerates the ancient comet fragments, lighting the night sky with shooting stars. When conditions are perfect, especially after 2 a.m., you might see one every minute! This year, the Perseids meteor shower started on July 17 and will conclude about Aug. 26, when our planet moves out of the Swift-Tuttle debris field. The greatest concentration of meteors is predicted for Aug. 11 through 13. During peak times, stargazers may see 60-70 shooting stars an hour. According to NASA, this August’s lunar cycle is optimal for viewing the Perseids. The new moon is on Aug. 11, meaning the skies will be fairly dark for several nights before and after. From Aug. 12-17, the waxing crescent moon will set before midnight, making for good viewing conditions in the early morning hours. Here are some tips for watching the Perseids: • Get away from light pollution. If possible, leave the city and suburbs, or at least find an unlit large open park or ballfield. Beaches, scenic overlooks, and the Pine Barrens can be excellent. If you live in a dark sky area and have an open back yard, stay home to watch! If you’re feeling ambitious, throw a shooting star party!

• The best time to look is between midnight and sunrise, as the Earth’s rotation turns the upper atmosphere into the fresh, un-bulldozed path of comet debris. Use a reclining chair or blanket, and gaze up at the sky. Your eyes need about 20 minutes to adjust to the dark, so turn off flashlights and be patient. Spend most of your time looking toward the constellation Perseus. Print out a star map for New York or Philly for the correct time and date to find Mirfak, the brightest star in Perseus, generally to the northeast. You can also locate Mirfak by downloading an astronomy smartphone app. • If you’re lucky, you’ll be treated to a steady shower of meteors streaking across the sky. Most meteors range from the size of a pebble to the size of a grain of sand, and they travel at 37 miles per second! You may see some especially bright meteors known as “fireballs,” brighter than the magnitude of the planet Venus. Rarer is a “bolide,” a type of fireball that explodes in a bright terminal flash at its end. You may wonder if any of these space rocks will fall to Earth. Yes … but not many and probably not near you. According to the American Meteor Society, 10 to 50 meteorites drop to Earth each day. “It should be remembered, however, that two-thirds of these events will occur

over ocean, while another one-quarter or so will occur over very uninhabited land areas, leaving only about 2 to 12 events each day with the potential for discovery by people,” the Society said. Put another way, the odds are that any given one-square-mile piece of land will have only one meteorite fall on it every 20,000 years. There are two documented meteorite/person collisions - 1954 in Sylacauga, Alabama, and 2009 in Essen, Germany. Both victims had only minor injuries. The dinosaurs weren’t so lucky. When an entire comet blasted into the Yucatan and Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago, climate changes ended the Age of Reptiles, setting the stage for the evolution of all primates. If you miss the Perseids, you can see other meteor showers this year. The Orionid meteor shower – associated with the famous Halley’s Comet - will peak on the night of Oct. 21-22; the Taurids on Nov. 10-11; the Leonids on Nov. 17-18; the Gemenids on Dec. 13-14; and the Ursids on Dec. 21-22. Michele S. Byers is executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in Morristown.

GUEST OPINION

The rub and the irony of race in America today This country was built on the backs of African-Americans, Latinos, Asians and other people of color. When Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President, it was a proud moment not just for African-Americans but for all Americans who understand that “we are a nation of immigrants.” Donald Trump is the antithesis of Barack Obama. While Obama was the president for all Americans whether or not you agreed with his political views, policies or decisions; Trump represents far fewer Americans, and has used those people to divide the country along racial lines, and turned back the hands of time. While Obama was a statesman who reached out to Cuba, forged a nuclear deal with Iran, established affordable health care, and maintained America’s long standing relationship with NATO and other alliances, Trump has been duped by Kim

Jong-un, and outfoxed by Vladimir Putin. He has been humiliated by porn stars and bad actors. America is said to be the land of the free and the home of the brave but I don’t see that now. People of color are under assault, our leaders are cowardly and mute. Checks and balances are late arrivals. The president is committed to building walls instead of bridges. I wish I could say the future looks bright, but it doesn’t. Social justice has taken a backwards trend, and white nationalist rhetoric and actions are on the rise. America is not winning, it is not being made great again. November’s election is the most important election in our lifetime. AfricanAmericans and other people of color will again be asked and expected to help turn congress blue and put the President and his policies in check. “There-in lies the Rub

and the Irony.” It’s time for the Democratic Party to be responsive to its broad coalition. It’s time to demand a return on our investment. If the Democratic Party cannot place the following agenda items on their platform, on November 6th we should stay home and fry chicken; • Rewrite section 4B of the voting rights act to negate the discriminatory voting policies being passed by states throughout the country • Establish a US Commission of Law Enforcement with a national database on police shootings and prosecutorial oversight • Eliminate state and federal funding for private prisons that contribute to mass incarceration • Work to reverse Citizens United with a constitutional amendment and eliminate

Super PACs. • Give democracy back to “the people” • Establish responsible gun control legislation • Provide affordable access to health care • Remove all confederate statues and signage Let’s stop the Democrats from taking the Black vote for granted. If all politics are local, and they are, throughout the US Black folk should be engaging their local representatives and the DNC by asking what have you done for “us” lately and will you commit to the above if “we” get out the vote and help turn congress blue in November. Wait patiently, but not long for an answer. Leighton Newlin Princeton

pelling facts and statements from climate scientists describing global warming’s steadily increasing impacts, whether international (record-breaking heat in East Asia, Europe, and across the U.S., with deadly wildfires in consequence) or local (rapid sea level rise, a measurable effect of global warming, already affecting the Jersey shoreline for the worse). The looming challenge of climate change does indeed demand swift and effective “solutions.” One proposed approach to the problem of unchecked carbon emissions is to put a price on carbon that is refunded to all households. As an efficient market correction, this type of policy is supported by economists along the liberal-to-conservative spectrum, and increasingly by a majority of Americans according to the Yale Climate Opinion Maps. As the saying goes: if we are not part of the solution, then we are part of the problem. Let’s all be part of solutions to climate change.

be moving into and through our system. Included in the referendum are necessary improvements for security which must be addressed. Also included are crucial and overdue HVAC upgrades of our outdated and inefficient systems. Class size is one of the most important factors in the quality of education and we are already at or over capacity in all of our schools. This is not a question - we are there. In the next five years, school enrollment is expected to grow another 10 percent and this trend is likely to continue. Demographers can be off, but we need the capacity now and it would be foolish to not prepare for the increases that are inevitable. Our educational space does not fit the curriculum or our needs today. The collaborative and interdisciplinary programs in Princeton Public Schools are often hindered by outdated and overcrowded spaces. We have to address our diverse student body and ensure that their needs are addressed from sufficient STEM resources to appropriate space for counselors, food service and special education. Unfortunately, Princeton and the rest of the world are not getting cooler. Students can not effectively learn in stifling heat. Our classes have been disrupted when rooms are either too hot or in the case of heating malfunctions, too cold. Imagine how well you would function in an office with poor air circulation and no air conditioning. These upgrades are necessary and will be energy and cost efficient. I moved to Princeton for the schools and the community. I was lucky to educate my kids in the Princeton Public Schools. I am now an empty nester and a taxpayer who wants to make sure that our schools remain strong for all our kids. It would be foolish to wait because the costs will go up and so will our class

sizes. We need to act now so we can preserve the excellence that brought us here to Princeton. Vote “YES” on November 6.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The ‘Solutions’ column gets the environment right To the editor: I’m grateful to Huck Fairman for writing the inspiring “Solutions” column, and to the Princeton Packet for publishing this regular environmental update. Important though local news issues can be from day to day, the bigger picture must also be kept in mind. The global-scale phenomenon of humancaused climate change is continuing with inadequate action being taken by the U.S. to date, and we are all already beginning to experience its ill effects everywhere. In two recent columns, “The heat and rain continue” (July 26, 2018) and “Our threatened Jersey Shore” (August 9, 2018), Fairman cogently presents comPrincetonPacket.2.736x4.5.StaffBox.indd

Voters need to support the referendum To the editor: I support the Princeton Public Schools Facilities Referendum and urge everyone to vote yes on both questions presented. Voters should keep in mind that this vote is about programs and maintaining educational standards which are crucial to the value of our homes and the values of our community. In November, we must vote to address the need for more classrooms and athletic facilities for the students that we have, as well as, the ones we know will

Trump needs to ‘put up or shut up’ when it comes to border wall To the editor:

President Trump wants $18 billion dollars to build a wall along the U.S. - Mexico border, but Congress’ lead watchdog now says the Trump administration has underestimated the cost of the project by billions of dollars. During the 2016 campaign, the president bloviated that “Mexico will pay for the wall.” Not happening. I have a suggestion for our president. If he is so committed and believes that a wall along the U.S.- Mexico border will solve immigration problems, Mr. Trump should offer to put up the first billion dollars for the construction of the wall. President Trump has informed us how rich he is, what a great business man he is, what a great “deal maker” he is. When I was growing up on the lower east side of Manhattan in the 1940’s and 1950’s, we had a an expression, “put up or shut up.” Mr. President, if you are so committed to your wall, put up the first one billion dollars or “shut up.”

Section 6. The following additional matters are hereby determined, declared, recited and stated: (a) The improvement or purpose described in Section 3(a) of this bond ordinance is not a current expense.

Princeton hereby declares the intent of Princeton to issue bonds or bond anticipation notes in the amount authorized in Section 2 of this bond ordinance and to use the proceeds to pay or reimburse expenditures for the costs of the purposes described in Section 3(a) of this bond ordinance. This Section 7 is a declaration of intent within the meaning and for purposes of Treasury Regulations. Section 8. Any grant moneys received for the purpose described in Section 3(a) hereof shall be applied either to direct payment of the cost of the improvement or, if other than the State Grant referred to in Section 1 hereof, to payment of the obligations issued pursuant to this bond ordinance.

William F. Murdoch, Jr., 87

Real Estate Executive - Devoted Husband, Father, Alumnus

William Francis Murdoch, Jr. died on July 30, 2018, of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. A 50year resident of Princeton, NJ, Bill is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Cullens Murdoch; their four children Mary M.(Molly) Finnell (Sam) of Skillman, NJ; Elizabeth M. Maguire (Henry) of Lewisburg, PA; Timothy R. Murdoch (Pascale Lemaire) of Montreal, Quebec; and Kate M. Kern (John) of Bethesda, MD. He is also survived by nine grandchildren, two greatgrandchildren, a sister, Sarah Schneider and eight nieces and nephews. Bill was preceded in death by two sisters Esther Hauser and Francis Schalch, and one brother, James C. Murdoch. Bill was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, attended Bethel Park High School, and graduated from Princeton University in 1952 with an A.B. from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Affairs. Bill rowed on Princeton’s heavyweight varsity crew where he developed a lifelong passion for rowing, and he was also a member of Princeton’s R.O.T.C, Triangle Club and University Cottage Club. His love of the University continued for 65 years, and he served his class of 1952 in numerous leadership capacities, including class president. Bill enlisted as a 1st Lieutenant in the US Army and served as a forward observer in The Korean War. He received an MBA from Harvard in 1956 after which he relocated to Pittsburgh to run the family business, Murdoch Chevrolet Company. Concurrently, he developed a community shopping center in Bethel Park, PA which sparked his interest in real estate. In 1961 he joined Booz Allen and Hamilton and four years later moved to The Rouse Company where he helped develop the planned city of Columbia, MD. In 1974 he joined Merrill Lynch Hubbard, a REIT, which went public in 1988 as HRE Properties. Over 15 years Bill was President & CEO, and a trustee of HRE. He also served as President of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), Director of Rockefeller Center Properties and Trustee of MGI Properties. During the last 3 decades of his life, Bill worked with his daughter Molly developing, expanding and managing the family’s real estate assets. The Murdoch Building, currently under construction in Pittsburgh, is located on the former Chevrolet property. Bill derived much satisfaction from his successful business endeavors, particularly when they provided for the extended family. Bill enjoyed summers vacationing in Ontario on the French River, surrounded by friends, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He will be remembered most for his kindness, integrity, and sound judgement. A memorial service will be held at the Princeton University Chapel on December 22, 2018 at 2:00 pm with a reception to follow.

The Princeton Packet 7A

Shelter Continued from Page 1A dogs, Achenbach said the shelter took in 657 animals and found homes for 536 in 2017. The remaining number of animals were either reclaimed by their owners, trap-neuter-returned, transferred to a rescue group, passed away at the shelter — such as a sick kitten — or are still at SAVE. Achenbach also estimated the shelter takes in 50 animals a month. While most animals are from the Mercer County area, some come from Cape May County shelters, or as far as Oklahoma. With overcrowding in animal shelters still an ongoing issue and puppy mills are still legal in some New Jersey counties, Auchenbach said SAVE combats the problem in a number of ways, including fostering some of their animals. “We like to let [the pets] have some time in foster homes so they are social-

ized with people well, it also keeps them out of the shelter environment,” she said. “That also leaves space for other animals, so it’s a revolving door.” SAVE welcomes shorter-term overnight and weekend fosters, as well. “It does tug at your heart, but we tell fosters and volunteers, you did the right thing, you gave them a good time, don’t take away from that,” Achenbach said. “Do not do it because it hurts to put them back, if you hadn’t, they wouldn’t have had it at all. Take heart in that you did a really good thing.” The shelter occasionally lowers the prices of their animals — dog adoption fees range from $250 to $350 and $125 to $175 for cats — or through specials like “Black Cat Friday” around Thanksgiving and Black Friday. SAVE also leaves some cages and kennel runs available in case animal control

stops by with a lost or stray animal. Unfortunately, this means they might have to turn away other cases, such as owner surrender. “I think for us, our biggest challenge is you want to help as many as you can, and if you’re full and someone’s calling with the saddest case, and you’re like, ‘I can’t help you today,’” Achenbach said. “Some of the saddest ones are, ‘My parents passed away and they have these animals, I live out of state.’ We want to be able to provide a service to these people and most important, the animals.” To aide this, those at SAVE recommends the website Get Your Pet, founded by New Hope, Penn. resident Angela Marcus. The website allows current pet owners across the nation who can no longer keep or need to re-home their animal to put them up for adoption. Other users can fill out an application

and potentially meet the animal. This, Marcus said, allows the pet to go from home to home, skipping the shelter all together. “A shelter isn’t a normal living environment for a pet,” Marcus said. “[The owners] get to decide who would be the best fit for their pet, so they get the peace of mind knowing that their pet is going to an environment that they’re comfortable with and can stay in touch.” SAVE also recommends Get Your Pet or shelter training classes if an animal is undergoing behavioral issues and the owner feels the need to re-home them. For Achenbach, an animal shelter should be a last resort for a pet that already has a home. “No pet that’s been in a home deserves to be in a shelter,” she said. “We do our best, but this isn’t what we want for any pet. But there are truly homeless animals out there.”

Freeholder Continued from Page 1A “I think the citizens here want a regular guy,” he said on Aug. 15. Lopez also touched on his ability, as the son of a Latino father and a black mother, to bring diversity to the freeholder board. At present, the seven-member board has no one of Latino heritage serving. “The more diverse voices there are at a table, the stronger any discussion becomes and any deliberation becomes,” said Olessi Monatano, a Latina. “So I think having a Latina on the board to represent a

growing Latino community in our county is a good thing.” McCoy, of Hamilton Township, is active in Democratic politics and has run unsuccessfully for the Township Council in that community. She works for the state as an assistant commissioner for human capital strategies in the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. If McCoy is named to the seat, she would be, at 39, the youngest member of the freeholder board and the third woman to serve.

Marcus echoed this sentiment, saying that her website is a “complementary service” to animal shelters. “Sometimes people hear about us and say, ‘Isn’t that competing with shelters?’ But we’re not at all,” she said. “Shelters across the country are saying, ‘Yes, use this service.’ We want to help animals who are stray or victims of cruelty who have no other alternative. It’s truly a benefit to the shelters.” To ensure the animals in the shelter go to deserving homes, an online or in-person application can be filled out, where two references and a call to the applicant’s veterinarian is required. If the applicant currently doesn’t own any other pets, a third reference replaces the veterinarian call. “We really try to help those who are trying to adopt on matchmaking,” Achenbach said. “We know when you walk out, and

we feel like it’s a match, they’re probably going to stay in your home.” She also said that the idea of “adopt, don’t stop” has been widely encouraged recently, taking the negative stigma away from shelter animals. SAVE currently uses social media like Facebook and websites such as Petfinder to advertise adoptable pets, and features their animals at local pet stores and events, such as Montgomery Fun Fest taking place on Sept. 9. Until then, Achenbach said, she hopes local residents consider adopting a homeless animal, especially on Clear the Shelters Day. “It’s a great national day to encourage people to adopt. I can say, anytime an animal goes home, we celebrate,” she said.

Turtles She would also be the second black member and the second representative from Hamilton. “I think we have to look at it more as we will gain a woman who has the opportunity to partner with all municipalities in Mercer County,” McCoy said on Aug. 8. “I will not sit as a freeholder and just look at Hamilton issues. I’m going to be a freeholder who is going to partner and have an understanding of Hopewell issues, Ewing Township’s issues, and partner together and make sure my strategic goals are

aligned with their plans.” She called it “imperative” for a woman of color to be placed on the board. “Women are the nuts and bolts of every election,” she said. “I truly believe that, if elected as the next freeholder of Mercer

Continued from Page 3A Liz Lempert said on Aug. 13 when asked what the point of the sign was. “As a motorist, I see there might be a turtle in the road.” The mayor said that if she saw a turtle in the road, she would “definitely” stop for it.

The turtle and Princeton have enjoyed some recent history together. In June, Gov. Phil Murphy came to town to sign a bill making the bog turtle the official state reptile. At a signing ceremony in Riverside Elementary School, Murphy told students of wanting to have a “shellabration.”

MacConnell, Ettin coach hoops at Princeton By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

It didn’t take long for Brett MacConnell and Skye Ettin to both realize coaching was the career path they wanted to take. The fact those career paths have them coaching in what is basically their own backyard has made the journey all the more special. MacConnell and Ettin are both assistant coaches for the Princeton University men’s basketball program. They are the top two assistants for head coach Mitch Henderson and are regarded in coaching circles as two of the bright lights in coaching. For each of them, it’s been an amazing journey to Princeton. The 32-year-old MacConnell grew up in Montgomery before attending Rutgers University, where he spent four years as a student manager with the basketball program. His experience at Rutgers was what convinced him he wanted to get into coaching. “I think I knew at a pretty young age, but I didn’t probably understand how realistic it might be until I was going to college,” MacConnell said. “I thought about playing soccer in college and I think it hit me then that I missed basketball and wanted to coach basketball. I ended up being the student assistant with the Rutgers team. That was where I got my first exposure to it and learned a lot as a manager as far as the recruiting side and the coaching side.” A 2008 graduate of Rutgers, MacConnell was with the program under head coaches Gary

Waters and Fred Hill for two years each. “It was good to get two totally different styles,” he said. Ettin, who is 26 years old, graduated from Princeton High School and spent one year at Guilford University in North Carolina before transferring and spending his final three years at The College of New Jersey, where he was a three-year captain for the Lions. Ettin was injured during his one season at Guilford and it was that year off the court that got him thinking about coaching as a long-term goal. “When I went to Guilford, before TCNJ, I broke my foot before the first game and I was out the whole year,” Ettin said. “When you are sitting and reflecting and watching practice and not able to play, you’re starting to learn a lot of different things. That was the first year I hadn’t played in my life. “I always knew I wanted to coach at some level, whether high school or travel or whatever it was. I think sitting out and learning the ins and outs of coaching at Guilford, it sparked me that this could be something I could do for

a career. That passion carried on when I transferred to TCNJ and I tried to get involved with different opportunities. Brett has been a huge mentor to me and helped me a lot along the way.” MacConnell spent two years as an assistant coach at Delaware Valley College, one year at Holy Family University and a year at St. Peter’s College before Henderson hired him to be the Director of Operations on the staff at Princeton. “Every boss that I have worked for has helped me,” MacConnell said. “I started at Division 3 with Casey Stitzel, who was the coach at Delaware Valley. He’s now at Millersville University. I coached there for two years. I coached for one year for John O’Connor at Holy Family. And then I worked for John Dunne for a year at St. Peter’s. I was Director of Ops. That was my first Division 1 job working for him. All the guys have been awesome.” And even though he did not play basketball at Montgomery for current Cougar coach Kris Grundy, the head coach at his alma mater has been a big booster to his career as well.

“Coach Grundy has become a great mentor to me,” MacConnell said. “Having the fact that I didn’t play there, I made it a big point when I got into coaching that I have to at least be able to recruit my old high school. He kind of adopted me into their Montgomery basketball family and actually when I was coaching Division 3 would go back and train some of his guys.” Ettin’s jump into coaching came right at Princeton. But he wasn’t an unfamiliar face when he landed the position of Director of Basketball Operations with the Tigers. “(Former PU player and coach) Howie Levy hooked me up to work camp,” Ettin recalled. “I have been family friends with him for a long time. I told him I wanted to get into coaching and I wanted to work Princeton’s camps and he connected me and through camps was how I connected with Brett and from then on we have had a great relationship. “It worked out really well. I still remember Brett calling me

Hun School grads at home on old court By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Basketball has taken Lance Goulbourne and Doug Davis on some fantastic journeys. But in the end, the two know they can always call the Hun School home. Goulbourne and Davis returned to the campus in Princeton last week to serve as instructors at the Hun School’s annual basketball camp. It’s been 10 years since the former roommates graduated, having led the Raiders to state Prep A and Mid-Atlantic Prep League basketball championships as seniors. “It’s like a time warp coming back,” said Goulbourne, a threeyear starter for the Raiders. “I step on campus and I remember walking these halls and down this hill and going to this class. It’s a little different now with a lot of new buildings, but it still is pretty cool to be back.” After graduating from Hun, Goulbourne attended Vanderbilt University, where he guided the Commodores to three NCAA tournament appearances and a Southeastern Conference championship in 2012. Davis stayed closer to home, attending Princeton University, where he helped the Tigers to the NCAA tournament in 2011 and is the school’s third all-time leading scorer with 1,550 points.

Hun School graduates Lance Goulbourne (left) and Doug Davis were back on campus last week to help their former head coach Jonathan Stone at the school’s summer basketball camp. Goulbourne has spent the six years since graduating from Vanderbilt on the basketball court. He played the last three seasons in France after making stops in Turkey and South Korea, as well playing for just over a year in the NBA’s D League with the Santa Cruz Warriors. “I just finished up my third year in France,” Goulbourne said while back on campus last week for the Hun camp. “Right now I am nursing an achilles injury so I don’t know where I will be going

this next season. I am working on getting healthy and when the time comes I will see what is available for me.” Davis played basketball for a year in Germany after graduating from Princeton. But since then he’s been searching for the right niche, which he thinks he may have found back in Princeton. Davis will be teaching this year at Princeton Day School, where he will also be the school’s head boys’ basketball coach. “I came back and did some

marketing things with the Sixers and I did insurance for a bit, but it wasn’t for me,” said Davis, whose game-winning shot in the Ivy League playoff game against Harvard in 2011 lifted the Tigers to the NCAA tournament. “This is my niche, I think. It’s been a lot trying to figure out which way I wanted to go. You leave a place like this and you leave a place like Princeton and you come out into the world and you say what can I do? What’s the best place for me? And then you try to find a fit. “For me, it’s coaching and teaching. I feel like that is the sweet spot for me where I am able to coach kids and I am also able to tap in and teach kids and tap in intellectually and see what they are doing on that end. It’s been great. I taught two years at Berkshire School in Massachusetts and now I am back in the area and it feels good to be back.” Both former Raiders were happy to be back on campus helping Hun coach Jonathan Stone with his annual basketball camp. Even thought it has been 10 years since they graduated, they both felt right at ease back on campus. They showed they know their stuff as counselors as well, coaching their respective teams to the finals of the end of camp tournament, where Goulbourne’s squad topped the Davis team.

My Mom been so much of a transition to the new still lives here. Brett has family here. Just Princeton that Mitch has spearheaded with to be local and be at a place like Princeton, the new style. That has been incredible to

learn all that. Also, he gives us a ton of freedom in recruiting and really wants us to take initiative and have our own opinions. He tries to prepare us to be head coaches someday, which is awesome.” Both coaches have learned their lessons well and have made a name for themselves nationally. Following the 2015-16 season, MacConnell was one of 30 assistant coaches named to the NABC’s 2016 Under Armour 30-under-30 Team. After the 2016-17 season, Ettin was named an NABC 30 under 30 honoree, a compilation of coaching staff members under the age of 30 from across all NCAA divisions. “I think I am spoiled, we both are, to get to do something we love doing,” MacConnell said. “It’s a dream job in so many ways. The thing that stands out the most for me is the relationships with the guys on the team and being a part of their development. They push us to develop and improve, too.” Both MacConnell and Ettin are still growing as coaches and learning every day. “There are so many different dynamics in college basketball, whether it is recruiting or on the court or personal development,” Ettin said. “At Princeton these guys are doing some amazing things and you are meeting some amazing people who are very motivated to go on and impact others lives. For me, to be around them everyday is the best part of this job. “All of the people I have worked with

have been a huge help. I worked with Brian Earl, who is now the head coach at Cornell. I’ve worked with Brett a lot and learned a lot from him. He has been a huge mentor for me and I have learned a lot from him just being in the office every day. Everyone you are around you just pick their brain and learn things from.” Both coaches have enjoyed some great moments with the Tigers, none better than going to the NCAA tournament two years ago after an undefeated season in the Ivy League. “Going to the NCAA tournament was probably the greatest moment of my life,” Ettin said. “We had a really special group of guys that really bought into everything and really worked hard and wanted it. That was a special group.” While both MacConnell and Ettin are focused on the task at hand, which is making the Tigers the best program they can be, down the road there is always that thought of someday being the person in charge of a program. “Ultimately, that someday would be incredible,” MacConnell said. “In this business it doesn’t come easy and there are a lot of guys who do it for 30 years and are never head coaches. I know how hard it is but ultimately would love that opportunity.” Added Ettin: “That’s the ultimate goal one day, to run your own program.”

Both players felt like Hun was just the right spot for them. And in turn, Hun helped them find the right spot for college. “Vanderbilt felt like Hun to me when I got there,” said Goulbourne, who was a starter as a junior and senior. “I felt like it was an easy transition. It was 6,000 people, but it was an easy transition for me. It was fun. We did a lot of good things at Vanderbilt that hadn’t been done in a while. So that was really enjoyable to etch yourself into the history of the school. “Doug won an Ivy League championship and we won the SEC tournament, which was great. We hadn’t been in the championship game since 1952 and we won it. We had pretty respectable college

careers. He was the second leading scorer in Princeton history (now third), which is pretty amazing. And I give a lot of credit to Coach Stone because he prepared us for that.” Davis agreed that Stone helped both players find the right spot to bring out their best athletically and academically. “He told me before I even committed to a University to plan to make this decision and be at that school for four years,” Davis said. “That’s where you are going to go for four years. For me, I had been to three different high schools so I was moving around. So he said this is going to be your spot for four years.”

Camp Continued from Page 8A “I haven’t been able to do this since college,” Goulbourne said. “Coach Stone has asked me every year to come back and I am never able to because I had to leave in the middle of August for wherever I was playing. It’s good to be back on campus and see these kids again and just be able to hang out and talk with Coach and everybody who used to be here when I was here. It’s always nice to come back.” While Davis stayed in Princeton for his college career, Goulbourne was down in Tennessee at Vanderbilt. But even with the distance and busy schedules the two always stayed in touch. “We’ve supported each other,” said Da-

vis, who spent two years with the Raiders. “The first guy I really clicked with on campus when I came here was (Goulbourne). And then after school, even in college, I would have a decent game and the first person to shoot me a text or hit me up was Lance. It would be a joke or something, but he was following me and it meant a lot.” Added Goulborne: “In college, when they played Kentucky in the NCAA tournament, he called me and said, ‘Lance, give me the scouting report.’ We played Kentucky twice a year. We don’t talk every day, but when we hang out and see each other it’s like nothing ever changed. Those relationships are hard to come by and it is perfect.”

The documentary “A Shot In the Dark” follows St. John Vianney High School senior Anthony Ferraro on his quest to become the first blind wrestling state champion.

‘A Shot In the Dark’ premieres at the Monmouth Film Festival

Shot In the Dark,” premiered at the Monmouth Film Festival on Aug. 10 at the Two River Theatre in Red Bank. “A Shot in The Dark” is a documentary following a St. John Vianney High School senior, Anthony Ferraro, while he hopes to become the first blind wrestling state champion. Filmed throughout the 2012-13 school year, Anthony was approached by his older brother, Oliver, who had the idea to track his brother’s story and show everyone about defying hardship. Anthony agreed and was then followed by cameras for most of his senior year at the high school, which is located in Holmdel. “It helped being blind,” Anthony said. “It really came down to my brother. He saw that this is not just a wrestling story; it’s more than that. It’s about not giving up and just dealing with adversity that you will always be given in life. I was just for-

tunate that my story was captured because everyone has a story to share.” Coached by Pat Smith and Tony Caravella (former outstanding head coach at Brick Memorial High School), Anthony went on to secure 122 career victories at St. John Vianney. He won two district tournament titles during his career. The film was thought of and initially directed by Oliver Ferraro, but when he needed funding and filming materials, it seemed like fate was at work when he met director Chris Suchorsky. Suchorsky wrestled with Smith at Seton Hall University. They both ended up becoming wrestling coaches at opposing high schools in the same district following their time together in college. But when Suchorsky realized he didn’t want to be a coach anymore, he lost touch with Smith.

‘Oklahoma!’ at Music Mountain Theatre

klahoma!,” Rodgers and Hammerstein’s first musical, was brought to Music Mountain Theatre in Lambertville, where audiences were met with a musical and entertaining evening from director Michael Moeller. Taking place in 1906 in the title setting, cowboy Curly McLain (Harrison Pharamond) wonders onto the farm of Laurey Williams (Kristen VonWachenfeldt) in hopes of taking her to the box social dance that evening. Local women attending the dance will bring picnic baskets to be auctioned off to men throughout the town to raise money for a local schoolhouse. The men who win the auction for the picnic baskets also win a lunch date with the women who prepared it. Pharamond opens the musical with “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’.” Pharamond does not project enough, like other musical numbers throughout the production, but makes up for it with his acting. Throughout the entire production, Pharamond has you believe in his character fully and truly embodies an early 20th-century cowboy. When Curly arrives to the farm in hopes of courting Laurey, he is met by Laurey’s loveable Aunt Eller (Joan Hoffman). The two exchange a humorous banter until Laurey makes her entrance onstage. VonWachenfeldt, who dazzles with her lovely singing voice throughout the entire production, plays the young and hopeful farm girl who turns down Curly’s proposition to the box social after she feels that he has waited too long to ask her. Curly tells Laurey he has gotten the nicest carriage money can buy and the two break out into song with Aunt Eller (“The Surrey with the Fringe on Top”). But when Laurey keeps egging on Curly about the carriage, he claims he made the entire thing up. She exits the stage with the offer for the date to the box social still declined, not knowing Curly did, in fact, rent the car-

The farm hand Jud Fry (Karl Weigand), who is disturbingly obsessed with Laurey, asks her to the box social following those events. Laurey agrees to spite Curly, even though she is utterly terrified of Jud - which she admits to Aunt Eller later. In the interim, cowboy Will Parker (Matthew Robertson) returns from his trip from Kansas City. While away, Will won $50 from a competition at a fair. This is the same amount of money his girlfriend’s father, Andrew Carnes (Roger Madding), claimed he needed to obtain to marry his daughter, Ado Annie (Jaime Gedders). Little does Will know, Ado Annie has been seeing Ali Hakim (Rhett Commodaro), a Persian peddler, who seems to only be interested in one thing, but Ado Annie wants more. She confesses to Laurey she has feelings for both men. But after Andrew Carnes discovers his daughter with Ali Hakim, he forces him at gunpoint to

agree to marry Ado Annie. Back on Aunt Eller’s farm, Curly confirms Laurey is going to the box social with Jud. Trying to convince her to leave Jud in the wayside and go to the dance with him, Laurey continues to fear Jud and tells Curly she can’t break off the promised date. Curly, who refuses to take no as an answer, goes to Jud in the smoke house, where he resides, to try and convince him himself to back off Laurey. Curly tries to convince Jud to kill himself so everyone will realize how much they care about him. The conversation between the two of them eventually turns to Laurey and it becomes ugly. Curly leaves and Jud makes a promise to himself to make Laurey his bride. He breaks out into “Lonely Room,” and it was my personal favorite of the entire production. Weigand’s portrayal of Jud was the best part of the musical. He not only flawlessly portrays a mentally challenged, terrifying

and hulking farm hand, but Weigand has a tremendous singing voice, as well. He was truly the highlight of the production. After becoming confused with who she should take to the dance, Laurey purchases smelling salts from the Persian peddler Ali Hakim, who claims they come from ancient Egypt and anyone who smells them will be able to decide what choice they should make when faced with a tough decision. Laurey smells the salts before the dance and immediately falls asleep. In a dream sequence that begins with Laurey about to marry Curly, it quickly takes a dark turn when Jud appears and kills Curly. Jud drags Laurey off to a strip club and forces her to work with the rest of the dancers. When trying to escape, Jud will not let her go and forces himself upon her, pinning her down onto the floor. Laurey wakes up and is now sure Curly is the right man for her. But as the curtain closes on the first act, Jud arrives to escort Laurey off to the box social.

Honorable Mention

Deven Byrnes, the choreographer of the production, makes the musical just mesmerizing. Every dance number was completely in sync and the entire dream sequence was a wonderful ballet performance where you just could not look away. Music Mountain Theatre’s “Oklahoma!” would not be authentic without Byrnes. “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!,” continues at Music Mountain Theatre, 1483 Route 179 Lambertsville, through Aug. 19.

The Amish Outlaws perform at the Middlesex County Fair on August 8.

Amish Outlaws perform at the Middlesex County Fair T he Amish Outlaws performed its wide range of music to the crowd at the Middlesex County Fair in East Brunswick on Aug. 8. The band, which just celebrated its 15th anniversary this July, performs music of various types - from Johnny Cash to Snoop Dogg. The Amish Outlaws love to surprise their audiences with what they will play next. The band began after four of the original members left the Amish lifestyle in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Amish practice a tradition called Rumspringa, where on a person’s 16th birthday, they have the opportunity to go out and live free of the Amish code and experience the “common” world. After concluding your Rumspringa, members decide if they want to return to their Amish lifestyle and be baptized into the Amish church. Most members return to the Amish way, but in some cases, they do not. “There’s a lot of reasons that I left be-

hind that kind of lifestyle,” Brother Eazy Ezekiel, the band’s bass player said. “The ultimate one is that the Amish believe, like a lot of religions do, that their way is the only way into Heaven. That anyone not born and raised Amish is basically condemned. When I met our drummer, Jakob (he’s one of my best friends and he’s Jewish), I just couldn’t believe that him and a lot of the good people who I met out here were going to go to Hell. It didn’t make sense to me; I couldn’t wrap my head around it. Even though that they were honest, loving and loyal, but because they were born into a different group they were going to be condemned. That was the ultimate straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Once I came out and made all these friends and saw the way that life was out here, I couldn’t close those blinders and go back into that world.” Like Ezekiel, his friend and former member of the Amish lifestyle, Amos Def, had the same feelings after leaving behind See AMISH OUTLAWS, Page 7B

Documentary Continued from Page 2B About 10 years later, the two reconnected on Facebook and Smith sent a video of Anthony wrestling to Suchorsky. Across the bottom of the video was a caption from Oliver Ferraro saying he wanted to make a film about Anthony and needed help producing. “I contacted Ollie. He was living out in California at the time,” Suchorsky said. “A few weeks later, Ollie came back and we basically decided that we would make a film following Anthony through his senior year trying to accomplish his goals.” Following the filming of the documentary, Oliver Ferraro, who had just moved back to New Jersey from California, passed away. But his vision lives on through his film about his brother. “My brother’s vision, as well as my vision, through this was just to help people and inspire and motivate people,” Anthony said. “It wasn’t about becoming the next state champion. That would have been unbelievable, but this is just reality. If it motivates just one person to get up and stop feeling sorry for yourself, it’s a win.” Anthony’s parents welcomed him wanting to wrestle. His mother, Sue, thought it provided him with more and felt it was a way for Anthony to act like the average teenager. “To watch him wrestle, it made me happy,” Sue said. “He was doing something. He had a goal, he was healthy. What didn’t make me happy was the pressure that I saw he had to endure. I think it was associated with the sport, as well as emotionally dealing with his visual impairment and trying to be just a normal kid at 16 years old. But wrestling was very healthy, and I think it was good discipline and it gave him the sense of accomplishment. Everyone needs that.” Anthony’s father, Robert, agreed. But he made sure to give credit, where credit was due. “It was really never hard to watch him wrestle,” Robert said. “Sue really deserves a lot of the credit because Sue’s pretty tough. I was the enabler; Sue was the tough one. Anthony’s success really comes from Sue because she has always said from the

beginning, ‘I raised my kids to fly the coop, and this one is going to fly the coop.’” Anthony always made sure to define the odds, and that was how he originally started to wrestle. “I was the type of kid when someone told me that I couldn’t do something, I said, ‘Watch me,’” Anthony said. “I just do things because I’m so stubborn and I don’t want people to tell me that I can’t. When people started saying that ‘You can’t wrestle’ - I was a really fat seventh grader, but I was going to figure it out. It gave me that drive.” Eventually Anthony did not become the first blind wrestling state champion, but he can’t say he didn’t learn anything along the way. “Losses don’t define you if you don’t let them,” Anthony said. “It’s how you bounce back from each loss and what you’ve learned from it. If you don’t take a lesson from each loss, it’s just a waste. If you take a lesson from each loss, you’ll learn from it as a person. We keep growing no matter what we’re doing.” Now, five years following Anthony’s completion of high school, he loves to play music, does work as a motivational speaker and is currently training for the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, where he is learning a new craft in judo wrestling. “I learned one thing that has always stood out to me,” Anthony said. “The only disability is a bad attitude.”

Amish Outlaws Continued from Page 5B his former life. “Music was a big thing for me; travel and general curiosity about the world,” said Brother Amos. “Everything kept pulling me into different directions and none of it went back to where I grew up. It wasn’t so much as leaving as it was not returning.” But Ezekiel did make sure to point out there was nothing immoral with the Amish way of life. “The Amish lifestyle is great in a lot of ways, but ultimately it wasn’t for me,” Ezekiel said. Of the four original members of the band, three of them still play. Brothers Amos, Ezekiel and Hezekiah, who were all brought up Amish, met the band’s drummer Jakob after leaving the Amish lifestyle. Now the four of them are joined by Brothers Wyclef and Abel. “Amos and I grew up together,”

Ezekiel said. “He left after I did, and we met Hezekiah out here. Jakob, our drummer, he is the first ‘English’ friend I made, or non-Amish person. We started playing music together. Somewhere down the line I just thought that we should start a band together, and four of us being born and raised Amish, I thought that we should be called, ‘The Amish Outlaws.’ I wanted to embrace the way we grew up and how crazy life is out here.” Ezekiel, who had only heard snippets of nonsecular music before leaving the Amish lifestyle, was surprised to see what music had made him feel when he really started listening. “It was when I heard, ‘The Wall’ by Pink Floyd and ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ by The Beatles did music take on a new meaning to me,” he said. “I started off playing tuba, but it was way too heavy for me; so I

switched to bass. Honestly, I’m a bigger fan of listening to music than I am playing it. I do love playing it, but I just love music and the more I can be involved with it in my life the better.” The Amish Outlaws enjoy performing, but what the band members enjoy more is the people they encounter throughout their touring. “I have had a lot of bad jobs in my life and this isn’t one of them,” Ezekiel said. “It’s nice. We’re all friends, we get along, and my favorite thing about being out here and playing music is all the people we see out here and get to meet. We have people who come to see us three different times a week, and we become close friends. We don’t even consider them fans, we call them family.” For more information on The Amish Outlaws, check out their website: amishoutlaws.com.

ENTERTAINMENT BEST BETS

By Paul Hall

ummer movie season can be a whole heck of a lot of fun. As filmgoers, we are treated to the biggest stars, the biggest explosions and the most fun — sometimes all in the same movie. The Meg from director Jon Turteltaub and Warner Bros. presents us with some ridiculous throwback fun on a grand level. What if the bottom of the ocean as we know it today is not really the bottom of the ocean? That’s exactly what researchers aboard the Mana One are trying to figure out. When an expedition heads down and breaks through the layer of gasses underwater, it reveals another world teeming with creatures long thought extinct. Little could the crew know the danger that was waiting there. One of the creatures that quickly makes contact is a Megalodon, an ancient shark thought to be the largest that ever existed. Presumed extinct, it is a predator that fears nothing and can inflict damage on anything moving that threatens its personal

space. Only one man has ever traveled to these depths and confronted a Meg: Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham). To convince him to help the crew being terrorized below the surface might be impossible, but with this beast on the loose, it just may offer the perfect redemption for Jonas. Let’s be honest, The Meg is never going to win any awards for the best film of the year. There are moments that are closer to Sharknado than Jaws. But the combination of aspects of both makes for a fun, albeit ridiculous, adventure. Statham in the lead role brings a mixture of attitude and bravado that is necessary for his character. And yet, he never feels like he is taking his role too seriously. Heck, he’s fighting a giant shark that was thought to be extinct. Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) as an eccentric billionaire brings a humorous element to the film with his wisecracking nature. In fact, all of the characters take themselves just seriously enough to make the tension-filled sequences feel authentic. And it’s that authenticity which allows The

Meg to traverse the border of the ridiculous with style. A throwback to days gone by and a genre that rarely gets to perform on this level, the big budget keeps the effects just cheesy enough to be fun. I really had a good time with The Meg, though I’m not planning on going in the water any time soon. This great end-ofsummer addition is a fun ride for all the right reasons and begs to be seen in the

biggest and loudest theater you can find to feel its impact. Take a bite of The Meg‘s ridiculous fun — you’ll be glad you did. Paul’s Grade: BThe Meg Rated PG-13 Stars: Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson Director: Jon Turteltaub

Pam Hersh

Princeton sings praises of ‘Joint Effort’

he little elderly Jewish lady (yours truly), renowned in Princeton for her hats, put on one of her favorite “crowns” to go to church on Aug. 5. The visit that Sunday was to the First Baptist Church of Princeton. My purpose was not to commune with God, but rather to commune with my neighbors participating in a “Joint Effort Princeton Witherspoon-Jackson Community Safe Streets” event, an event that was hosted by a Princeton favorite son, John Bailey. Although I always had connected intellectually with the mission of the John Bailey’s “Joint Effort” summer program, my emotional, perhaps spiritual, conversion occurred as I was sitting – actually standing, shouting, and clapping – in the congregation. The pulsating and soulstirring music, plus the unrestrained joy of the people all around me, hit a chord in a way that no spoken words from a podium had done for me previously. Political consultant John Bailey, who spent his youth in Princeton, feels an unbreakable bond to Princeton’s Witherspoon-Jackson community that embraced and nurtured his family (divorced mother with five children) in the late 50s and 60s.

Based in Denver, Colorado, Mr. Bailey takes his “vacation” every summer by coming back to Princeton and giving back by producing a variety of events (youth basketball clinics, lectures, concerts, citizen awards ceremonies) over the course of 10 days. His goal is to celebrate the Witherspoon-Jackson residents who represent the culture and history and potential of Princeton’s historic black neighborhood, where I now have the honor of living. Knowing how much I adore music, Princeton Councilman Lance Liverman – who is chair of the Trustee Board of the First Baptist Church of Princeton, urged me to attend the Witherspoon-Jackson Community Gospel Fest – Stories of Black Voices Through Music and Songs. I sat in the last row of the church, closed my eyes, and pictured a different Jewish individual – a young composer from Brooklyn named George Gershwin, who attended a black Baptist Church in Folly Beach, South Carolina. His experience in the church led to his inspired creation of the brilliant score of Porgy and Bess. I share none of Gershwin’s genius, but I do share his connection to the highly charged, emotional, gospel music, punctuated with shouts and clapping of hands.

Even though I entered the sanctuary feeling a little tentative about being an interloper, my presence was embraced with the same warmth and welcome experienced by John Bailey when his family first came to town. No one cared about my skin color, my religious beliefs or my political beliefs – just about my ability to absorb joy with unfiltered gusto. The music exorcised chronic angst out of me, and, as a result, a grin replaced my anxious frown for the entire one-hour program. One of the performers at the music festival was keyboard player Samuel Frisby, executive director of the Trenton YMCA and longtime Mercer County freeholder. The music, which means so much to him and his family personally, also helps him do his professional jobs as an administrator and elected official, because the music, he said, is cleansing, restorative, loving and positive. Lance Liverman, like everyone in the congregation, became enveloped by the joyful music. He echoed Sam Frisby’s comments and added that the music conveys the spirit of love that “can be transformative –moves you to go forward in a better direction. People who are not part of the Baptist tradition have told me they want to have their funeral in our church because of the music of our Unity Choir.” The euphoria from the music, however, is transitory, even for Lance, who has been attending services at the church for nearly half a century. As a trustee board leader for two decades, Lance is concerned about the future of his church and the other predominantly black churches in the neighborhood. “Our church – all the churches in the neighborhood – are such a crucial part of our heritage, we can’t let them go away, but congregations are shrinking,” he said. Fortyseven years ago when Lance, at the age of eight, initially began attending First Baptist, the number of active congregants were nearly three times what they are today. Last year when John Bailey’ s summertime program honored the black churches in town, Lance remarked that “the history of …the black churches are stories of faith,

Loose Ends Continued from Page 12B leadership, and community service and need to be told to current and future generations,” he said. “Sure, we can declare the buildings historic, but the beauty of what goes on inside those churches is what needs to be preserved. The churches have been key to the survival of the black residents in this town and key to keeping the culture and the history of the neighborhood alive. John Bailey’s efforts are heroic and so important, but he is here for only 10 days. We need to work on this all year long,” said Lance. Lance has ensured the fiscal stability of the church by guiding the church to purchase income-producing rental properties in the neighborhood as an investment. Even if the church stays on solid fiscal ground, Lance worries about losing more congregants who make it possible for the church to offer programs to feed and clothe the poor, connect people to their heritage – and relieve angst of a handful non-Baptists transformed by the its soulful music.

By ReMIND Magazine

he classic San Francisco car chase scene in the movie Bullitt featured Steve McQueen driving a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, affectionately known as the Bullitt, being tailed by a 1968 Dodge Charger. Originally, the full-sized Ford Galaxie was supposed to chase the Bullitt, but the car was too heavy for the jumps through the bumpy, mazy streets of San Fran. Made popular by the movie, the second generation Dodge Charger was introduced for wide production in 1968. Ford reintroduced the 2008 Bullitt after the Mustang’s revival in 2005. The Bullitt’s design was modified to mirror the classic ’68 shape featured in the movie. As in 1968, the car was stripped of badging, scoops and spoilers. The only location on the car boasting the name of this beast is the faux gas cap on the trunk. This limited run was only available in 2008 and 2009. Images of window stickers have been

popping up on the internet for a 2018 Mustang Bullitt, getting enthusiasts all excited; however, Ford denies the rumors. … more ’68 Muscle Pontiac GTO As the youngest division head in General Motors, John DeLorean (remember Back to the Future, anyone?) is widely known as the “father” of the Pontiac GTO. Some credit the GTO for starting the trend of muscle cars, and in ’68 the GTO was Motor Trend‘s Car of the Year. 1968 Chevy Camaro To compete with the Ford Mustang, GM launched the Chevrolet Camaro in 1967. Slight design changes to the grille and taillights were made for the 1968 Camaro. More than 220,000 1968 Camaros were made, signaling to General Motors that the public was hungry for American muscle cars.

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. I love living in the Greater Princeton area! This area is blooming with culture, history and renovation, yet it is still a place where you can enjoy a quiet evening, as you would in a country estate. Princeton is also an international city. I have quite a few clients who relocated from other countries for continuing education or work, and I find joy in helping them settle in our town and feel at home as they transition from their homeland.

Nonetheless, quite a bit of my focus goes to Princeton Landing. I have lived on Sayre Drive for over a decade and have sold over 300 homes there. Because my family and I call Princeton Landing our home, I am very knowledgeable about the market there. It is such a beautiful, park-like community with all of the amenities of a 5-star resort and close proximity to major roadways and Princeton Junction Train Station. Many of my clients have found their perfect home in Princeton Landing and I am happy to call them neighbors.

There is a lot of activity around the new construction projects which I am pleased to be representing. Also, there is a growing interest coming from local and international . What is your current focus is Real Estate? investors which is a great contribution to the stability of the market, A. Right now, I am focusing on the booming considering that investors are more likely to purchase during the New Construction in Princeton. It seems that quieter months in order to avoid bidding wars which are common almost every street I turn on, there is at least in Princeton. one new home being built. To some, it is a little discouraging, to see old homes being torn down to build a new, but I think that it is a necessary step in helping the town’s Real 343 Nassau Street Estate market flourish and overall growth. Princeton NJ 08540 There are so many buyers looking to buy a home in Princeton, and they are most certainly of Princeton interested in new construction projects.
