PHS Students Lead Climate Strike At Hinds Plaza Rally

Warning that “survival demands action; inaction means extinction,” about 50 Princeton High School (PHS) students joined representatives from the Princeton University Students Climate Initiative (SCI) and others in Hinds Plaza on Friday afternoon, May 24, to demand action to combat climate change. As part of a growing international movement led by youth to push for climate action, the PHS contingent carried signs stating “Save Our Planet. Save Our Future”; “Climate Justice Now”; and “The climate is changing, why aren’t we?” And they chanted, “We demand change”; Our planet, our future”; and “There is no Planet B.” “We have a right to be angry about what has been done to our planet,” said rally co-organizer Nate Howard, PHS Democrats in Action (DIA) director of activism, in a speech to the gathering. “We are left to clean up the mess. If we wait, it will be too late. That’s why we’re here today. Politicians need to get on board.” Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker (16th Legislative District) and Sustainable Princeton Executive Director Molly Jones joined the gathering and spoke to the students. “There is no other choice but action,” Zwicker said. “We need your voice.” He emphasized progress on the environmental front through state government. “”We’re not just striking,” he continued. “We’re not just protesting. We are taking action. New Jersey is making sure that we set the tone for the rest of the country. We are doing that because of you. Please go on fighting.” Urging the young people to weigh in on the proposed Princeton Climate Action Plan, which is online and welcoming input and review until June 1, Jones stated, “I’m here to support the community and the youth engaging in climate action. This is a problem that is so massive, it takes us all to get on board. I’m here to support the enthusiasm of young people who want to figure out the solutions.” Jones noted that Sustainable Princeton has many opportunities for student involvement, and she urged, “Keep marching onward and keep on with the fight.” Other speakers included Allen Liu, vice president of the SCI at Princeton University, and PHS strike co-organizer Martin Mastnak.

Candidates Count Down To Democratic Primary With the June 4 Democratic primary election less than a week away, the three Democratic candidates for two spots on the November ballot for Princeton Council continue their outreach to Princeton voters. Michelle Pirone Lambros, Tim Quinn, and Mia Sacks are competing next Tuesday, with the two highest vote-getters to be joined on the ballot for Council in November by Adam Bierman, who is running as an Independent. There are no Republican candidates for Council in this year’s election. In a number of public forums, in the media, on lawn signs, pamphlets, and elsewhere, the candidates have presented their views over the past few months. Town Topics has now given each Democratic candidate the opportunity to sum up “why Princeton residents should vote for you” in the primary election. Their responses follow. Michelle Pirone Lambros

“I bring a new perspective and fresh ideas to Princeton Council. This is why

I am the only candidate to earn the endorsement of so many trusted Democratic leaders, including four former Princeton mayors, six former Council members, two freeholders, and countless prominent community leaders. I’m a fourth-generation Princetonian, and I want to expand the opportunities that opened the way for my immigrant forebears. “My top priorities are simple: to support the town’s dwindling middle class and serve its most vulnerable residents.

This means helping and not hindering small businesses; economic development being so vital to Princeton’s character. It means providing basic necessities, especially to the Witherspoon neighborhood. It means a new relationship with Princeton University and our other great institutions, initiating cooperative projects and public-private partnerships. Above all, it requires breaking out of our self-imposed fiscal straitjacket to put the brakes on our Continued on Page 8

A “Memory Cafe” For Dementia Patients And Their Caregivers

When Donna Sobel became the director of business development at Greenwood House last August, she began searching for new, relevant programs to support the Ewing-based organization’s mission of senior health care. It wasn’t long before she found a focus. “I did research and met with public health officials and nurses, and the topic that kept coming up, again and again,

was dementia care,” Sobel said. “I was very surprised. I didn’t realize there is so much interest in this in the health care community.” Blame it on baby boomers and medical advances that have extended our life spans. According to Alzheimer’s Disease International, there were an estimated 46.8 million people worldwide living with Continued on Page 14

Ribbon Cutting June 5 At New Floral Business

Community Options Enterprises will be celebrating the grand opening of the second location for Vaseful Flower and Gifts on Wednesday, June 5, at 11 a.m., at 305 Witherspoon Street. Vaseful provides employment for people with disabilities in an integrated setting. New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney, a strong proponent for people with disabilities, is expected to attend.

Employees of all abilities work side by side to learn valuable retail skills including credit card processing, shipping and distribution, customer service, inventory management, and floral processing and arranging. “Vaseful’s success is proof that people with disabilities can contribute to our economy in meaningful and integrated jobs with the right suppor ts,” said Svetlana Repic-Qira, regional vice president for Community Options. “We are grateful for the philanthropy of one of our board members that has given us the opportunity to open our second store in Princeton.” Community Option Enterprises was established to develop and operate entrepreneurial businesses that successful integrate people

with disabilities in the workforce. Along with Vaseful, COE operates a gift store and multiple co-working and office concierge locations throughout New Jersey. The businesses offer enhanced job training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Visit www.vaseful.com/about-us for more information.

Imagine an 800-acre estate on the Delaware River, centered around a stately brick house topped with a white cupola. That was Trenton in 1719, the year that Philadelphia merchant William Trent moved his family and enslaved servants up the river to what

Another big fundraiser is in October. It’s all part of an effort to celebrate the site’s past while raising its profile for the future. “We are not well-enough known, so we are using this anniversary as a way to get ourselves more broadly known across the region,” said Carolyn Stetson, president of the Trent House Association. “That’s one of the reasons we are partnering with this group from Philadelphia. Some of them will be seeing the house for the first time.” Trent and his family lived in the house for several years, but it has also been home to numerous families and served as the official governor’s residence for a time. It was occupied by Hessian soldiers during the Revolutionary War. Contrary to what had been assumed, the house was most likely not designed by an architect. “The bricks for the house were probably made on site,” said Stetson. “One of the things that make the house so special is that in 1724, William Trent died, and in 1726, an inventory was done of the furnishings, so we have been able to furnish it according to that inventory. Where we couldn’t get authentic antiques, we had reproductions made. We’re really lucky in that most of what a visitor to the house would see today is all original. Very little has had to be replaced.” The most recent work on the house was completed last spring. During repairs to the

so he needed people in the house and on the land. We’ve been doing a lot of research into who these people were. And it’s been hard.” One of the names researchers have found is Yaft. “We can tell by his value and his age that he was most likely the butler,” said Stetson. “Someone found an advertisement from after Trent had died, revealing Yaft had gone on to another owner and then took his freedom. We are working now on a slavery interpretation, so people who visit here don’t just learn about Trent and his wife.” During June, an archaeology project will be held on the grounds. Graduate students from Monmouth University, under the director of Professor Richard Veit, will be working with archaeologists from Hunter Research to try and identify a rectangular anomaly discovered by groundpenetrating radar. “We are guessing that it could be the foundation of Mahlon Stacey’s house,” Stetson said. “Stacey, with a small band of Quakers from Yorkshire in England, was the first European to settle at the Falls of the Delaware in 1679. When he died, his son sold 800 acres of his property to Trent in 1714.” The June 1 event is open to the public with tickets ranging from $40 for students to $125. Free parking is available at the site at 15 Market Street. The October 12 fundraiser, which will be held at Trenton’s Trinity Cathedral, will center around a presentation on Colonial Foodways by Chef Walter Staib of Philadelphia’s City Tavern, followed by a colonial dinner. “This is a fascinating place listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places,” said Stetson. “We want more people to know us.” —Anne Levin

Correction In last week’s Town Talk, the quote attributed to Daniel Harris regarding what makes the Witherspoon- Jackson neighborhood unique should have read, “The Witherspoon- Jackson community of African Americans was effectively made strong and self-reliant by the fact of their being segregated. They knew that no one would help them except themselves. It remains an energetic community that has survived and resisted the physical destruction of their businesses and the removal of their houses.”

runaway property taxes. “I am the first candidate in this race to raise these issues, breaking with status quo thinking. I have the expertise to lead on these initiatives, a reputation for action, and the business acumen that will get things done.” Tim Quinn “I believe my experiences on Council, the Board of Education, and the Planning Board put me in a unique position to help address pressing challenges facing Princeton: affordability, managing growth, and fostering an inclusive community. Having served on the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee, I understand municipal budgeting. I supported strategic spending

cuts, reduced our debt burden, and kept municipal taxes flat in 2018. One of our greatest opportunities for taxpayer relief is additional shared services with the schools. I helped bring the two groups to the table and now can leverage my understanding of school and municipal operations to forge productive, cost-saving partnerships. “As a member of the Planning Board, I have focused on keeping Princeton’s unique sense of place intact and helped develop a sweeping set of reforms addressing out-ofscale new houses. I am committed to continuing to work on affordable housing, civil rights, safer transportation, and other programs essential to a caring community. “Should I get the Democratic Party nomination in June and be re-elected in

November, I will be the senior member of Council and the only one in their second term. Council has an ambitious agenda and my experience can help us get our work done.” Mia Sacks “I recognize the urgency of facing head-on the core challenge of affordability which threatens our town’s socioeconomic diversity. I will work to ensure that Princeton Council plays an integral part in facilitating a community-wide planning process that is equitable, environmentally responsible, and economically innovative. “My experiences on the Planning Board and the Environmental Commission have taught me that sustainable development is contingent upon a coordinated approach to planning and policy. I will

work to ensure that coordination, as well as to promote maximum public participation — the lack of which has severely and adversely impacted our entire community in recent years. “I believe that transparency and accountability are fundamental to good governance and effective decisionmaking. My commitment to these principles is evident in my decades-long professional work on behalf of human rights and democracy around the world. My years of service to Princeton have left me well-grounded in the challenges we face; and my ability to communicate clearly, to find compromise, and to forge consensus among groups with disparate views, will enable us to plan our shared future with unity. “The Princeton we all benefit from now is the results of investments made by earlier generations on which we must build wisely. My vision for Princeton builds upon that of family members over three generations who were deeply committed to this community and its future. Key decisions about the next half century for Princeton will be made in the next few years. I am excited to be part of that process and working together with you.” Last Thoughts In recalling her impressions after talking to hundreds of Princetonians during the campaign, Lambros emphasized “that we are actually very unified in our concerns. We care about the economic vitality of our businesses. We care about parking and traffic and preserving Princeton’s live-work-shop-play atmosphere that makes it so special.”

Lambros went on to note that “many people don’t think Council has been paying attention to these issues,” and she added, “We care about affordability — for everyone, and we care about climate change.” Also striking a note of unity, Quinn stated, “This campaign has deepened my appreciation of what a special community we live in. Each of us has our own individual perspectives on the big issues facing Princeton, but there is a common thread binding us together of caring deeply about our town and its future.” He continued, “I’ve enjoyed meeting with residents from all corners of Princeton and exchanging ideas. One thing I’ve learned from these conversations is the need for us to redouble our communications about the work we are doing in order to more fully engage the community and make use of the amazing skills and energy present here.” In reflecting on what she had learned during the campaign, Sacks stated, “There are no silver bullet solutions to the challenges Princeton faces, however appealing they may seem. Facts matter, and I hope Princeton residents, who pride themselves on being high-information voters, will keep that in mind as they make their decisions this year.” All three candidates have received the support of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO). At a March 17 PCDO candidates forum, where voters’ first and second choices were ranked equally, Sacks received 97 votes (59 percent of the vote), incumbent

Quinn 95 (58 percent), and Lambros 66 (40 percent). —Donald Gilpin

Rockingham Hosts Dutch Barns Event

On Thursday, June 6 at 7 p.m., the Kingston Historical Society holds its spring program on New World Dutch barns in the barn at Rockingham State Historic Site, 84 Laurel Avenue in Kingston. The program begins at 7 p.m. with Victory Chase’s video on the Rockingham Barn Raising, and refreshments will be served. At 7:45 p.m., Elric Endersby will deliver an illustrated talk, titled “Arcades and Anchorbents: The Origins and Characteristics of New World Dutch Barns.” Endersby is a founding partner of The New Jersey Barn Company, which disassembled the ruinous structure in nearby Middlebush in 1999, repaired it, and raised it at Rockingham in 2013, thereby providing a complementary and contextual agricultural feature at the historic site. Over more than 40 years, Endersby and his partner Alex Greenwood have discovered and inspected nearly 100 Dutch barns across the state, and documented more than 60 of which a third have since succumbed to development. Of the remainder, they have disassembled several threatened examples for relocation. Assembled from their archives, photographs and measured drawings will be shown depicting characteristic forms and features, and their origins and evolution. And the Nevius Dutch Barn itself will serve as a full scale illustrative model. Admission is free. Visit khsnj.org for more information.

Princeton’s Top Environmentalists Are ONLY Endorsing Michelle Pirone Lambros For Council. Why? “Michelle understands that Smart Growth for the Downtown results in inclusion & sustainability. And she knows how to implement those changes. She understands that Climate Change hits the most vulnerable among us the hardest. She’s an advocate for laws that mitigate environmental impact and protect people. Michelle listens, she takes notes, she thinks, and then she acts. That’s why we endorse her for Princeton Council.” – Sheldon Sturges, 42 Cameron Court – Daniel Harris, 28 Dodds Lane

Four Princeton Mayors Are ONLY endorsing Michelle Pirone Lambros for Council. Why? “Michelle has the finance skills and business experience that are currently lacking on Council. And she’s a doer, not a talker. There’s no better choice.” – Bernie Miller “Michelle will bring fresh perspectives and creative thinking to keep Princeton vibrant and affordable for all. She’s my first choice.” – Phyllis Marchand “Michelle understands the importance of bringing together multiple stakeholders. She’s a keen and tested negotiator who played a central role in the recent ruling to reduce parking meter rates. – Michele Tuck-Ponder “Michelle has a public servant’s convictions and is a progressive Democrat in the best tradition of ensuring all voices are represented when making important decisions.” – Cate Litvack

Climate Strike continued from page one

Howard, a tenth-grader, emphasized the urgency of the climate crisis. “Compromise by politicians is not acceptable,” he said. “We don’t want compromise. We must be part of a global movement. Our leaders must be willing to do whatever it takes. We demand action now.”

Howard, in a press release, quoted UN SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres, who said, in reference to the global youth movement, “These schoolchildren have g rasped somet h ing t hat seems to elude many of their elders: we are in a race for our lives and we are losing. The window of opportunity is closing. We no longer have the luxur y of time,

and climate delay is almost as dangerous as climate denial.” PHS DIA students led a school strike for climate in Hinds Plaza earlier this year, on March 15, joining more than a million others worldwide to support the climate strike for the future and the efforts of Swedish student Greta Thunberg to urge government action.

On Campus at PHS Meanwhile, back on campus, PHS engaged in a Day of Action last Thursday and a Day of Dialogue on Friday. Taking advantage of flexible scheduling in order to make time for “a wide variety of learning opportunities outside of the regular class schedule,” according to Principal Gary Snyder, students participated in a range

Other special activities at PHS on Thursday included calling and writing letters to senators and representatives, signing petitions for a variety of causes, and visiting with therapy dogs from Attitudes in Reverse.

Cadwalader Heights Tour To Benefit Youth Groups

The Cadwalader Heights Civic Association has announced that it will donate 50 percent of the proceeds from this year’s September 14 historic neighborhood and garden tour to three of the city’s nonprofit youth organizations: the Trenton Circus Squad, the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity’s Robotics program, and the YMCA of Trenton. The “Cadwalader Heights: 112 Years Young” celebration will showcase 14 homes

and their unique stories, from construction to present day. The historic Trenton neighborhood was conceived and designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, architect of New York City’s Central Park. Members of all three youth organizations will be present at the tour, showcasing their talents. The Kappa Robotics program was organized “to provide inner-city youth with an opportunity to interact with positive role models in the development of life skills while exposing them to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM),” said Darrell Washington, a fraternity brother and native Trentonian who leads the effort. Washington is a 2013 graduate of Lafayette College with a degree in engineering and is employed as a radiation physicist with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The Robotics program culminates every year with the Kappa Derby Car Race competition. “Seeing the youth in the program fully engaging in STEM is important. Having the brothers mentor the teens with non-STEM topics is equally important. Our inner-city youth must acquire all the fundamental skills necessary to compete in the 21st century,” said Washington. The Trenton neighborhood of Cadwalader Heights is bounded by Parkside, Stuyvesant, and Bellevue avenues, and Belmont Circle. The tour is Saturday, September 14, from 12-5 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the tour. Visit w w w.cadwaladerheights.com for details.

PSRC Seeking Compromise On Early Exercise Classes The cancellation of an 8 a.m. exercise class at Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC) last month was disappointing news to those who regularly attended the weekday morning sessions. Responding to their concerns, the senior center administration is trying to come up with

a mutually beneficial compromise. “We’re looking at all types of possibilities,” PSRC Executive Director Drew Dyson said Tuesday. “We have to be financially sustainable for our organization. But today, we worked with several women

from the class to see if we can come up with a solution for our early birds.” Dyson said last week that the Early Bird Aerobics class has averaged just under seven people a day this year. “Our exercise classes vary in popularity,” he said last week. “Other classes later in the day are better attended.” PSRC’s 9:15 a.m. class is given three days a week in

partnership with the town’s recreation depar tment. Among the other classes offered at the center are Zumba, Table Tennis, Yoga, and Chair Exercise. The sessions, open to Princeton residents and non-residents, are fee-based. The last 8 a.m. class is this Friday. ”On April 24 we were informed that the Center was canceling the class as of May 31,” one of the members

wrote in a letter to Town Topics’ Mailbox on May 15. “We are devastated. We urge those who support the Senior Center to reconsider this unconscionable decision and reverse it.” Dyson, who has been executive director of PSRC since March 19, said the center has not broken even on the 8 a.m. class for a number of years. But he is hopeful that a compromise can be reached. “PSRC is committed to the health and well-being of our seniors,” he said. “It was good for us to sit down together with them. There is some agreement that we want to move forward in a positive way. Working together toward a solution, and not attacking in a public venue, is the best thing. We will hope to say more when we come up with a solution.” —Anne Levin

Memory Cafe continued from page one

dementia in 2015. This number is believed to be close to 50 million people in 2017. The figure will almost double every 20 years, reaching 75 million in 2030 and 131.5 million in 2050, with much of the increase in developing countries. Through her research, Sobel discovered that several countries across the world have been addressing these statistics with an initiative called a memory cafe. The concept — a two-hour social gathering designed to stimulate shared connections via music, art, and meaningful conversation — began in the Netherlands 22 years ago. Today, there are memory cafes all over the world, including more than 300 in the United States. Starting July 9, a memory cafe at Adath Israel

Congregation in Lawrenceville will be added to the list. Called Friends Circle memory cafe, the monthly gathering is free and open to the public. It is run by Greenwood House and supported in part by a grant from the Lawrence Township Community Foundation. “There is a memory cafe in Philadelphia, but this is the first in this area,” said Sobel. “There are a few support groups around, but a memory cafe is more than that. It’s supposed to be a place where people feel comfortable. The person and care partner come together and enjoy themselves in a purely social gathering. It’s social, not medical. It has a cafe-like vibe. It’s laid back. You lose your diagnosis at the door and you don’t need one to come.” There are different levels of dementia. The Friends Circle

memory cafe is designed to be a safe and relaxed meeting space for anyone with changes in their thinking or memory, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. “Many of these people live alone and are functional,” said Sobel. “When it comes to dementia, there is a lot of stigma attached. People sometimes refuse to get diagnosed. There seems to be shame involved. When people get diagnosed, they don’t want anyone to know.” The concept is geared to caregivers as well as those with dementia. “Caregivers can struggle in these situations meeting the needs of their spouse, or parent, or family member,” said Sobel. “They tend to get isolated, more so than in situations where they are taking care of people with other illnesses. Other illnesses are more embraced.”

Sobel has been working on the idea since last September. She has had assistance from Alzheimer’s New Jersey, the Mercer County Office on Aging, and other sources. She is currently auditioning musicians to play at the events. ARTZ Philadelphia, an organization that specializes in arts programs for people with dementia, has been booked for the September cafe. “We will do mostly music and art, because those are the last things people lose,” Sobel said. “The part of the brain that does music is not affected by dementia.” Cafes will be held the second Tuesday of each month. The July 9 event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m., and as of last week 15 people had signed up. Sobel is hoping for more. “This is supposed to bring normalcy to people’s lives,” she said. “It’s not a babied-down version of

anything. It is mostly an accepting place where there is no judgement, where people affected by dementia can relax and have a good time.” Registration is required. Contact Sobel at DSobel@ Greenwoodhouse.org or call (609) 883-5391 ext. 388 to sign up. —Anne Levin

Cocktails and Canada At Chamber Event

On June 17 from 5-7 p.m., the Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber will hold a special reception, “Commerce, Cocktails, Canada,” at the Holiday Inn in Princeton. Participants can meet Canadian business expansion experts, and interact with global experts from Japan and India as well. The idea is to learn how to do business with multiple countries. Canadian representatives will be on hand to provide information on expanding business with that country. Experts will include Mark Scullion, counsel and head of iInvestment at the Canadian Consulate in New York; Rafael Perez, of the New York Office of Ontario International; and Laurent Waessa, commercial attache in the

Quebec Government’s New York office. To register, visit princetonchamber.org.

Princeton Library Hosts Knit in Public Day

Princeton Public Library is celebrating World Wide Knit in Public Day — and the library’s 10th anniversary of being an official host site — at a gathering on Hinds Plaza on Saturday, June 8, beginning at 11 a.m. All are invited to drop in any time during the fourhour event to meet other knitters, socialize, and work on their knitting or crochet projects for as long as they like. Volunteers will be on hand to help beginners get started. World Wide Knit in Public Day began in 2005 with the idea of getting knitters out of their homes, changing what is usually a solitary pursuit into one that can be enjoyed among others. The event will take place on Hinds Plaza, weather permitting, or in the Community Room. The library is at 65 Witherspoon Street. Visit www. princetonlibrary.org or call (609) 924-9529 for more information.

Planning, Design Professionals Voice Strong Support for Mia Sacks

To the Editor: We write as longtime Princeton residents and experienced professionals in the area of municipal planning and community design. In recent years, we have joined our community in watching with dismay as less-than-optimal decisions have been made that negatively impact the future of our town. We are concerned about the absence of thoughtful, fact-and-design-based decision-making, for aspects and areas of our community in great need of attention — from parking to zoning to affordable housing to infrastructure improvements and many other areas that require appropriate planning. We believe that Mia Sacks is the candidate most equipped, through background, experience, and proven service to Princeton, to address these deficiencies in municipal leadership. Mia has spent an extraordinary amount of time working to develop a sophisticated working knowledge of our town’s physical character, economic dynamics, political and legal structure. She is well-versed in the fundamental elements of municipal governance — public policy, infrastructure, municipal finance, transportation, education, and land use. Mia has spent the last decade working on local issues, serving her community and learning how to govern. She is dedicated to thoughtful, well-conceived planning and the environmental health of our town — two issues that are hugely important to us and vital to the future of our town. Scores of our friends and neighbors in government and in community organizations have worked with Mia and come to rely upon her diligence and trust her judgment. There is no substitute for credibility derived from hard work and a proven commitment — demonstrated over time — to the key issues confronting our town. Elections really do have consequences. It is for that reason we urge you to join us in voting to elect Mia Sacks for Princeton Council on June 4.

Lambros Is Committed to Equity, Financial As Well As Social

To the Editor: We write to support Michelle Pirone Lambros’s candidacy for Princeton Council. Unlike all other Council members or candidates, Michelle is a business-person, with much experience and proven expertise in negotiating large budgets and contracts (both in the United States and abroad). She has extensive capabilities in communications strategies; her capacities have obviously been acknowledged by executives in Kuwait, Mexico, and elsewhere. These are necessary skills in managing “Princeton” — but also in dealing with Princeton University (whose payment-in-lieu-of-taxes comes up for renegotiation in 2021); the University’s needs for our municipal services (such as fire-fighting) increase as the University expands. Michelle has the important, broad, and long-term experience in the public world where multiple voices must be heard and reconciled — and directed towards the best public good. Michelle is committed to equity: financial as well as social inclusiveness. She will push for municipal budgeting that allows residents to pay 30 percent of their income for housing, not 50 percent, as well as needed services such as a laundromat and an urgent care center near the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. Michelle understands that climate change (when translated into power outages, floodings, etc.) affects finances of the “under-served” hardest. Keen on social justice, she will push for environmentally sustainable solutions; coming from Princeton’s culturally rich Italian community whose people have served Princeton in so many ways as teachers, police, fire volunteers (all being priced out of Princeton), she will work to ensure Princeton’s social and economic integrity. She will act progressively on the development of the Franklin Street lot, knowing that, in the limited space remaining in Princeton, well-planned building density can bring inclusion and sustainability to the town. As a member of the Princeton Merchants Association, she knows that 22 vacant storefronts are more than “a disaster” for businessowners and “downtown” (always threatened by Route 1 and Amazon): they represent revenue lost to the municipality which otherwise could have been used to arrange, for example, tax assistance for the those on the wrong side of the income gap. We trust Michelle to imagine and implement long-term solutions that will ensure Princeton’s viability as a town (and not the University’s shadow). Michelle listens, takes notes, thinks; acts. Vote for Michelle Pirone Lambros. DANIEL A. HARRIS Dodds Lane SHELDON STURGES Cameron Court

Civic Engagement in Princeton Has Been a Theme of Tim Quinn’s Career

To the Editor: Frequently we have difficult choices to make for government elections, in this case for Princeton Council. Today we find ourselves in an unusual circumstance. We have a Council with small amount of experience and with lots of energy. Focusing that energy requires experience. Second to the mayor, Tim has the experience to help lead on a number of the issues confronting the town. He has been and can continue to be a positive, knowledgeable force and a consensus builder working with the other Council members. While all members of Council are congenial, they are all opinionated and strong willed. Tim has the management skills to bring different opinions together to reach a common solution. Institutional memory is also important. While fresh ideas are important, context is also important if not necessary. Tim has served on a number of boards and committees. This experience allows him to provide gravitas to the meetings with the newer Council members. Included on Tim’s long list of civic engagement is his election to and participation on the Princeton School Board. He has successfully and effectively served on the Planning Board, Civil Rights Commission, Finance Committee, as Fire Commissioner, Environmental Commission, Bike Commission and has worked at the Princeton Public Library for almost 20 years. Civic engagement in Princeton has been a theme of Tim’s career. Extending that engagement, re-electing Tim, allowing him to continue serving his life’s passion and continue to serve our community is something I strongly support. The primary election is on June 4. Please remember to vote. ROSS WISHNICK Edgerstoune Road

Resident Stunned to Hear The Sounds of Silence

To the Editor: Sitting out back Friday night May 24, I was actually stunned. Around 5:30, there was hardy any noise at all in the Edgerstoune neighborhood. No leaf blowers, stone grinders, or chainsaws. I was afraid to say anything to Katie for fear of jinxing it. But it actually went on unabated, to my amazement. I said to myself: wouldn’t it be nice if we had local leaders who could make this happen more often? MICHAEL MOFFITT Russell Road

Bayard Rustin Center Eagerly Preparing for Pride Parade

To the Editor: As the Community Outreach Coordinator of the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, I want to thank Town Topics for sharing the news of the upcoming Pride Parade [“First Pride Parade in Princeton Planned for Saturday, June 22, pg. one, May 22]. We are eagerly preparing for this event. As the Center’s resident lesbian feminist and longtime activist in the LGBTQIA community, I am thrilled to have been an integral part in the evolution of this significant moment in Pride history. I am proud that we are organizing this event, which is historic not only in that it is the first Pride Parade in Princeton but also in its striving to bring together multiple communities following the route through the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood of Princeton. All are welcome to register, march in the Parade, and/or have a booth at the parade’s after party on the grounds of the Princeton YMCA/YWCA. The registration form and more information can be found at www.rustincenter.org/pride-parade. CAROL WATCHLER Community Outreach Coordinator, BRCSJ

Hibben, Mercer Residents Ask Mayor, Council, Others to Deny PTS Request

To the Editor: Addressing the Princeton mayor and Council, Princeton Planning Board, and the Ad Hoc Committee, the undersigned residents of Hibben Road and Mercer Street request denial of the request by PTS to redevelop the Tennent-Roberts campus into 105 two-bedroom apartments for student housing. The redevelopment process is usually driven by a municipality in order to achieve a public purpose that cannot be met by zoning. The study did not start with the exercise of what the town would want to promote on the site in terms of use and scale, but rather the process was initiated in response to a strategic decision by PTS to relocate their students. In essence, this process has tried to legitimize “spot zoning.” The proposed development is simply too large for the site. Currently this would represent a plus-30 percent overage versus current approved zoning. This project is outside any previous redevelopment applications based on the area being declared a redevelopment zone, which is a first for Princeton. While this theoretically allows for greater flexibility for the community, as submitted it clearly contradicts the guidelines in the Princeton Master Plan, which stress institutional compliance with existing zoning. The proposed development is out of character with the residential neighborhood and at odds with the Princeton Master Plan. The development, if built, lacks the context of the existing period buildings that are set back from the road and have a scale that fits the site. The proposed development would overwhelm the current residential neighborhood in terms of size, scale, and density. The “form based code” recently approved by unanimous vote of Council seeks to preserve neighborhood character, maintain large trees, and put restrictions on the height of buildings. While this regulates development of individual homes, it would be completely contradictory to the

spirit of these regulations for the proposed redevelopment by PTS to be approved, given that it breaks all of these conditions. While there has been the opportunity for the residents to provide input as part of this process, it has only been in response to a proposed PTS plan that was well outside zoning guidelines from the beginning. We are told that PTS needs are such that it cannot accept a smaller development on this site. This is not an existential issue for PTS. They are a substantial land and homeowner in Princeton and West Windsor and they if they choose, they have many other options available to them. This is the first time a redevelopment zone has been considered in Princeton. It sets an unfortunate precedent if the only outcome is that the applicant gets a zoning variance with no discernable public benefit. PTS has also offered to make an unconditional payment of $250,000 towards the affordable housing settlement. While we are sure this will have no bearing on the Council’s and Planning Board’s decisions, from an optics perspective, it creates the wrong impression amongst many residents.

Offering Wholehearted Support For Princeton Community TV

To the Editor: I am writing to give my wholehearted support for Princeton Community TV and to show how important it is to continue funding for our valuable community resource. I have followed the development of “TV30” for many years, since it started out from a small office in the Arts Council of Princeton to its current facilities with a modern studio, equipment, classes and dozens of talented, dedicated people who create the outstanding programs covering topics important to our community. Programs such as the Spanda Yoga program which helped me to modify yoga for my personal limitations. I watch Backstory with Joan Goldstein. A particularly interesting guest on her show was John Leland, who spoke optimistically about how to age well. I like to check out the movie review show, Popcorn, with community reviewers instead of written reviews. I would miss all these programs if funding were to be cut. Not only does PCTV produce these shows, it offers courses and resources to educate people interested in honing their technical skills. My husband is a good example of such a volunteer, starting out as a camera man, who improved with guidance and practice. He was soon directing shows and going on to shoot and edit his own documentaries — one about Princeton-after taking a course. If we were to lose PCTV, there is no local alternative. In summary, we are so fortunate to have this vibrant organization, I believe the city of Princeton needs to continue generous financial support to keep it flourishing. My understanding is that PCTV is funded by a cable tv franchise fee. What I don’t understand is why these funds are now being withheld from PCTV. SALLY JENKINS William Patterson Court

Democrat Leaders Support Pirone Lambros for Council

To the Editor: As the Democratic primary looms, Princetonians are asking themselves: What skills should a Council member have to effectively govern our town during this particularly challenging period? In our opinion, the primary responsibility of a council member is a fiduciary one. Someone with financial skills is a must. We want our tax dollars spent wisely, and we need someone with experience in business. Michelle brings a wealth of international business experience to the task of managing Princeton’s finances. In the U.S. and abroad, she oversaw multi-million dollar projects, managed six-figure infrastructure contracts, pulled off publicprivate partnerships with multiple vendors on time and under budget. We’ve decided to endorse her because she shows up, rolls up her sleeves, and gets to work. She’s not yet on the Council, but she has already been instrumental in negotiating the parking meter rate resolution announced last week. She is involved in the Economic Development Committee, the Bike Advisory Committee, and the Zoning Board and is working on streamlining zoning for business start-ups, she has gotten private funding for bike racks, and has sensible ideas for private funding for a dog park and expansion of the FreeB bus service — all great issues that will help make our town accessible, livable, and sustainable. As current freeholder and former Princeton Council president, and as former Princeton Township Municipal Committee chair and past president of the PCDO, we’ve seen a lot of Council races. And we know a top contender when we meet one. Michelle’s our choice. She has already received an extraordinary number of endorsements, from current and former elected officials, esteemed members of the business community, the African American community, and the Latinx community. We want a tough and thoughtful negotiator. Someone to push back against excessive consultants whose recommendations often require a keen and skeptical eye. Someone with experience to know the best solution is seldom a binary choice, but who can imagine creative alternatives. We want an advocate for all. This means the middle class, the working poor, and our business owners. Michelle has garnered support from all these constituencies. We hope you will join us in voting for Michelle on June 4. The sensible choice for fiscal responsibility, progressive policies, and entrepreneurial leadership. JON DURBIN Mt. Lucas Road ANDREW KOONTZ Spruce Street

To the Editor: As current and former members of the Princeton Council, we are pleased to write in enthusiastic support of Tim Quinn’s bid for re-election to the Princeton Council. We served with Tim and know him to be a great leader and thoughtful listener dedicated to improving our community. We were continually impressed with his service on Council. He came ready to work, focused on bridging divides and building collegiality, and was not afraid to ask tough questions and make hard choices. He has focused on budget strategy, land use, equity, environmental and transportation matters, and always signs up for difficult assignments with an eye towards improving quality of life in Princeton. For example, he has drawn on his experience on the School Board to develop joint services with the school district, volunteered to be the first Council liaison to the Civil Rights Commission, helping to strengthen its important mission, and serves on the Planning Board and Neighborhood Character Committee, working to preserve our neighborhoods and Princeton’s unique sense of place. After this year, Tim will be the most senior member of Council and the only member to have served more than two years. Given all the challenging issues facing Princeton, we need Tim and his experience on the Council. We are proud to endorse him and hope you will vote for him in the June 4 Democratic primary.

The Critical Importance of Maintaining Community TV’s Free Public Access

To the Editor: Princeton Community TV (PCTV) is another of Princeton’s jewels in jeopardy. It broadcasts on Comcast Channel 30 and Verizon FIOS Channel 45. Many people don’t fully appreciate its importance. When cablevision was set up, in return for the use of the public right-of-way for hanging its cable, it was agreed that cable television would pay a “rental fee,” and that free public and governmental access channels would be supported by this fee. When cablevision came into its own, I was very aware of all this because my Dad, Bill Cherry, was a physicist at RCA who had worked on the color TV, and he was also a member of Township Committee. He was chosen to become chair of the Cable TV Committee and to negotiate an agreement for free public access, which has been in place ever since. Over the dinner table, my Dad would talk about the importance of public access as a source of freedom of speech and discourse about all kinds of issues. When I returned to Princeton in 2000, I was very impressed with the amount of programming and creativity

at PCTV, and for the opportunity for citizens to be heard. At that time there were around 200 shows taped per year. Now PCTV tapes about 650 individual shows per year on all sorts of topics. Most are interview programs, but the wildest is the popular Zombie Etiquette program, where “high-functioning zombies” wearing make-up comment cogently on a variety of topics. Over the years I, myself, have been interviewed on several topics by different moderators. And I remember each time, being impressed with the people waiting in the “Green Room” for their taping. I remember local pastors and rabbis; mayors and members of Council, not just from Princeton but from surrounding communities; movie critics, and citizens with a wide variety of expertise and perspectives. Popular shows have included Back Story with Joan Goldstein, Perdidos in America, Education Roundtable, Breezing with Bierman, and many others. And PCTV has easy-to-use cameras to lend out, along with camera training, editing, lighting and sound production; there are many opportunities for those interested in videography. With consolidation, PCTV was asked to pay rent out of their cable income and then to become a 501(c)(3). Then the Council indicated that it wanted to redirect some of the cable fees to the town treasury, and then ALL the fees. I hope that the current impasse can be resolved and that our town will continue to support PCTV’s free public access by passing through much of the cable fees as originally intended. The fact is that if we don’t continue to direct cable fees to support public access, the cable industry has begun to say that maybe then the industry should stop paying these fees. Let’s not shut the door on one of the key avenues of community discourse, but instead expand and promote its programming. I urge Princeton Council to continue working on an agreement with PCTV.

Mia Sacks Offers Council Inspiring, Dedicated Leadership

To the Editor: I am writing to enthusiastically support Mia Sacks for Princeton Council. Mia’s depth of experience in social justice is evident from her remarkably impressive professional resume, but I know Mia in a different context: as a supremely committed, civically-engaged Princeton resident. Mia and I met seven years ago when our children started school at Littlebrook together. As a new Princeton resident, I quickly came to realize that Mia was the person to turn to with any question about local governance. Wondering about the supplier of our public school lunches? Mia was on the committee that worked to identify a more nutritious, environmentally

responsible meals provider. Want to learn how to lower the district school buildings’ energy use? Mia was chair of the Princeton Green Schools Coalition and brought state officials to town to present options. Curious about the town’s new sustainability plan? As a Sustainable Princeton board member, Mia has been an integral part of developing the Climate Action Plan for Princeton. Want to learn about the schools’ focus on wellness? Mia helped write the new PPS Wellness Policy and has been working with Wellness Committees in the individual schools to conduct CDC health and wellness evaluations. Unable to stay at the school board meeting/town council meeting/planning board meeting until midnight to hear the outcome of the debate? Text Mia: she undoubtedly stayed to the bitter end, and has an expert’s understanding of all the policy nuances. Municipal governance can often be seen as a thankless task. Council members devote long, unpaid hours to addressing questions and deciding on policies that some people, in an age when national and international politics occupies so much of our attention, may dismiss as trivial. But this perspective misses the big picture. As both a Princeton resident and someone who studies local government law, I believe that electing dedicated, inspiring local leadership is one of the most powerful opportunities we as a town have to make a positive difference in our own lives and those of our local and global neighbors. Committed public servants like Mia — professionals who have committed their lives to social justice and who see the critical connections between the day-to-day decisions of town governance and the most pressing international issues of our time — are an invaluable asset to all of us. Mia has already demonstrated her remarkable commitment to both international justice and local, participatory democracy. Her zeal for digging into the details of local policy, together with her ability to see the connections between those details and the big, important picture, make her an outstanding candidate for our town council. I strongly urge Princeton residents to join me in voting for Mia in the June 4th Democratic primary. JANE MANNERS Wheatsheaf Lane

BOOK REVIEW

Memorial Day Celebrations and Elegies on Walt Whitman’s 200th

“M

eantime, in Washington, among the great persons and their entourage, a mixture of awful consternation, uncertainty, rage, shame, helplessness, and stupefying disappointment,” with “the worst not only imminent, but already here.” When he wrote those words, Walt Whitman, born 200 years ago Friday, was not casting a prophetic glance toward Memorial Day 2019, he was responding to the calamitous aftermath of the Battle of Bull Run on July 22, 1861, Union forces having “exploded in a panic and fled from the field.” Writing in Specimen Days in America (1881), Whitman describes defeated troops pouring into the city over the Long Bridge — ”a horrible march of twenty miles, returning to Washington baffled, humiliated, panic-struck.” The sidewalks of Pennsylvania Avenue are jammed with “lookers-on” as “swarms of dirt-cover’d return’d soldiers (will they never end?) move by; but nothing said, no comments.” Half the lookerson are confederate sympathizers “of the most venomous kind—they say nothing; but the devil snickers in their faces.” There is “loud and undisguised” talk around Washington “for yielding out and out, and substituting the southern rule, and Lincoln promptly abdicating and departing.” If the Rebel officers and forces “had immediately follow’d, and by a bold Napoleonic movement had enter’d Washington the first day (or even the second), they could have had things their own way, and a powerful faction north to back them.” It was a “bitter, bitter hour — perhaps proud America will never again know such an hour. She must pack and fly — no time to spare. Those white palaces — the dome-crown’d capitol there on the hill, so stately over the trees — shall they be left — or destroy’d first?” With America facing “a bitter, bitter hour” amid presidential stonewalling and the targeting of the free press, it’s worth recalling Whitman’s tribute to “the great New York papers” whose headlines “rang out over the land with the loudest, most reverberating ring of clearest bugles, full of encouragement, hope, inspiration, unfaltering defiance,” especially “those magnificent editorials! they never flagg’d for a fortnight.... They came in good time, for they were needed.” Our National Healer Introducing the Penguin Classics 150th anniversary edition of Leaves of Grass (2005), Harold Bloom says that absorbing Whitman has taken him a lifetime, “and it is not over yet. I have murmured his longer poems out

loud to myself, while recovering from major surgery, in hospital and at home. There is, I think, little sentimentality in my conviction that reciting him, and brooding alike upon his celebrations and elegies, helped heal me, hastening a little the terribly slow pace of recovering from trauma.” Bloom’s personal experience with “our national healer” underscores Whitman’s “beautiful daily service” to thousands of “ill and wounded soliders, Union and Confederate, white and black” in the war hospitals of Washington, D,C., from 1861 to 1865. Walt was “wound-dresser, comforter, bringer of little gifts (clean underwear, letter-writing paper, fruit, brandy, and some hope),” spending “what money he could earn and cadge” and “more of his self than he had known he possessed.” Channeling Trump So here we are celebrating Memorial Day and the bicentenary of a great American poet from Long Island while a greatly flawed American head of state from Long Island is bringing Washington’s unsavory “mixture of awful consternation” to a boil with the help of his sous chef, the Attorney General. You know the man in the White House would relate to the opening lines of Leaves of Grass: “I celebrate myself/And what I assume you shall assume,” but he’d skip over the part about how “every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you,” preferring instead “to lean and loafe at his ease.” Never mind, Whitman’s America has room for everyone. In “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry,” the poet channels the “extremely stable genius” 100 years before he was born: “I am he who knew what it was to be evil,” who “Blabb’d, blush’d, resented, lied, stole, grudg’d,/Had guile, anger, lust, hot wishes I dared not speak,/Was wayward, vain, greedy, shallow, sly, cowardly, malignant,/ The wolf, the snake, the hog, not wanting in me,/The cheating look, the frivolous word, the adulterous wish, not wanting,/ Refusals, hates, post-

Bringing his Unique Skill Set, Competitive Fire, PU Star Lovett Aiming to Make Kansas City Chiefs

John Lovett is trying to prove himself all over. The Princeton University senior football star has taken the same attitude to Kansas City Chiefs preseason camp that he had when he started with the Tigers. “When he first got here, he just wanted to get on the field,” recalled Princeton football head coach Bob Surace. “He said, ‘Coach, I can long snap.’ I don’t know if he ever long snapped before, and he had no technique, but the ball went exactly where it was supposed to go faster than anyone else we had. He’s going to find his way to make the club.” Surace never did let Lovett long snap — for fear of losing his job if his starting quarterback with NFL potential were to be hurt — but instead watched him grow into a player that the Tigers had to get on the field. It meant that Lovett played his favorite spot, quarterback, at times, but also lined up at running back and wide receiver. He could be doing the same for Kansas City. “The fact that I played multiple positions in college was something that I guess was intriguing,” said the 6’3, 230-pound Lovett. “For my scenario, whatever the coaches ask of me, just like in college, whatever the coaches here ask of me, I’m going to do that 100 miles per hour. It’s not just one position. I’m learning the offense and going out there and doing whatever they ask me to do.” Kansas City signed Lovett as an undrafted free agent on the final day of the NFL Draft on April 27. He goes to a Chiefs team that drafted Princeton’s Mike Catapano in the seventh round of the 2013 draft. Lovett and Catapano haven’t talked yet, but Lovett is already working to be the next Princeton player in the pros. “First and foremost, I was just incredibly thankful to my family during this process for all the sacrifices they’ve put in as much as the work I’ve done,” said Lovett, who comes from Wantagh, N.Y. “It was an awesome day to be able to celebrate with family and I had a bunch of friends and teammates from Princeton that were at my house. To be able to celebrate with friends and family, it was an amazing experience.” Not being drafted gave Lovett free agent power to choose a team that he liked. He had interest from more than a dozen teams and had to find what fit him. “To have the opportunity to come in and play under a future Hall of Fame coach in Andy Reid, and be able to learn his offense, he’s an offensive genius, so that was certainly a great opportunity,” said Lovett. “I had a good conversation with him and I felt comfortable. Most importantly, I was excited for the opportunity to come in here and compete.” Lovett started competing when he reported to rookie training camp five days after being signed. It was an eye-opener. “Right off the bat, putting

on your own jersey with your name on it and wearing a Chiefs helmet, it was a surreal feeling,” said Lovett. “Once you get onto the field, it’s just football. I’ve been playing this game since I was six years old. I really wanted to go out and every day is a fight so go out and play 110 percent.” Early reports from Reid had Lovett making a good impression. He’s taken his high energy level to Kansas City. “You’re not going to be able to cut John,” said Surace, who coached nine years in the NFL as an assistant with the Cincinnati Bengals. “He’s just so relentless and he competes well. At the end of the day, those guys in my experiences, those guys make teams. If he’s not a star, and most guys aren’t stars right away — there’s very few Saquon Barkleys — those guys undrafted or late-round picks are guys that have incredible intangible qualities.” As Lovett hit the field for the Chiefs, he looked to show some of the skills that made him a two-time Bushnell Cup Award winner as the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year. Lovett steered Princeton to a 22-4 record in games he played in since 2015. Princeton won the Ivy titles in 2016 and 2018, going unbeaten at 10-0 in the latter season, the program’s first perfect campaign since going 9-0 in 1964. Lovett played quarterback in his final season but was more of a hybrid in previous seasons. He is one of six finalists for Princeton’s William Winston Roper Trophy, given to the top senior male athlete of the year. “Most scouts were questioning ‘does he throw it well enough to play quarterback at that level?’” said Surace. “The New Orleans Saints worked John out as a linebacker. It wasn’t a matter of, can this guy play in

the NFL? It’s, what does he do and how quickly does he get up to speed? We saw before this year, the two prior years, what a tremendous athlete he was running the ball and catching it. Last year we got to see him throw it more and he was very successful.” Crediting his experience at Princeton with helping him develop into a player with NFL potential, Lovett feels ready to take on any spot. “Playing multiple positions in my past, it’s given me an advantage as far as dealing with the position change,” said Lovett, who passed for 2,509 yards, rushed for 1,589 yards, and made 26 receptions for 553 yards while scoring 44 touchdowns in his Princeton career. “ L a s t y e a r, I p l a y e d every snap at quarterback. Throughout college, I did consider myself a quarterback. Although it’s a position change, I do feel like I’ve had reps at this position before so it’s not totally foreign. It’s an incredible opportunity. I feel thankful and blessed.” Lovett likened learning the Chiefs’ playbook to learning a new language. He jumps at the chance to study it every possible chance and get himself best prepared for the NFL. “The excitement is getting to live out a childhood dream and put on a Kansas City uniform every single day,” said Lovett. “I feel blessed to be where I am and I’m trying to take advantage of it day in and day out. As far as the position itself, it’s incredibly exciting. It’s a unique position. As the adjuster of the offense, it’s essentially falling second in line to quarterback as far as how much you know of the offense. It’s definitely a challenge, but I read my playbook every day to try to pick it up.” So far, Lovett has split time between the running back and tight end position rooms. He’s

already done some of what he was asked to do while at Princeton, but on a larger scale. His ability to absorb his new positional skills will go a long way in determining if he makes the Chiefs. “ H e ’s p l a y i n g m o s t l y H-back,” said Surace. “He’s not playing quarterback there. When we had Chad (Kanoff at quarterback), John ran routes and carried the ball. He’s had those skills before, but we didn’t teach him. He was a quarterback before so he knew the route was a 5-yard or a 12yard. It’s going to be ‘can he build the habits quick enough, as a receiver, as a tight end, as a blocker, can he build those habits quick enough to do it as a professional as opposed to a guy who was the best athlete in the league?’” Lovett is also keeping up with classmates as they try to catch on with NFL teams as Jesper Horsted is playing with the Chicago Bears while Stephen Carlson is competing for the Cleveland Browns. “This past year, going 10-0 and being the first team at Princeton to do so in over 50 years was awesome,” said Lovett. “To have an Ivy League record setting offense, it’s no surprise to me that guys in our offense have had opportunities going forward. I’ve been talking to them and wishing them the best, and more so going through the process with them. It’s nice to hear how they’re doing and when you have a second to talk to them, those guys have been friends and teammates for four or five years now. It’s been great.” In pursuing his opportunity with the Chiefs, Lovett is trying to bring his best traits into the mix. “My passion for the game and being a willing kid that wants to come in here and help the team any way I can,” said Lovett. Surace, for his part, has no doubts that Lovett can make an NFL roster. He watched Lovett work as hard as anyone he has coached to put himself

We’ve had a few guys like this, Catapano being the first one that went to the league, that their work ethic is better than anybody. He’s in the top 1 percent in a league full of competitors. You talk about maximizing

abilities, he certainly did. Last year was first time he got to play full-time at quarterback, and he really did all the subtle things, managing the offense, making good decisions, checking in and out of plays, he was so good with that. He’s such a competitive person that whatever they ask him to do, he’s going to figure it out eventually and learn it.” —Justin Feil

A s fo r t h e P r i n c e to n women, sophomore Obiageri Amaechi advanced to her second straight NCAA championships in the discus after placing seventh with a best throw of 175’ 11. On the men’s side, sophomore Ed Trippas won the steeplechase to punch his ticket to the NCAAs, clocking a personal record of 8:33.90 to beat out 47 other competitors in the event. Junior Joey Daniels made history becoming the first Tiger to reach the NCAA meet in t h e 110 - m e te r h u r d l e s. Daniels was second in heat two with a 13.75, leaning at the tape to take second away from LSU’s Damion Thomas. It marked his fastest time in competition for Princeton. The NCAA Championship meet will take place in Austin, Texas from June 5-8.

Af ter get ting t he pro gram’s first win in the NCAA doubles tournament since 2001, Princeton University men’s tennis players Payton Holden and Ryan Seggerman fell just short of making the first doubles quarterfinal for the Tigers since 1978. Junior Holden and sophomore Seggerman, ranked 34th in the nation, battled No. 35 Murkel Dellien and Marius Frosa of Wichita State to a tiebreak third set before the Shocker pair won 4-6, 6-3, (11-9) at the USTA National Complex in Orlando, Fla. Holden and Seggerman were Princeton’s second NCAA doubles tournament qualifiers in three years, along with Alex Day ‘17 and Luke Gamble ‘18 two years ago. A day earlier, Holden and Seggerman delivered Princeton’s first win in the tournament in 18 years, upsetting the No. 4-ranked team in the nation, Oli Nolan and Henr y Patten of UNC Asheville.

up spending 13 seasons in the Majors, the highlight of which were his three scoreless innings of relief of Game 1 of the 2015 World Series, earning him the win in the 14-inning classic and sparking the Kansas City Royals to the championship. He also pitched in the 2007 All-Star Game and was the 2014 Comeback Player of the Year in the American League while going 12-9 for the Seattle Mariners after missing the 2013 season with what had been thought to be careerending shoulder surgery. Young and his wife Liz, a four-time letterwinner in women’s soccer at Princeton before also graduating in the Class of 2002, have a long history of selfless contributions to the various communities in which he played. Included in this is their “Back To School” event each year, in which they would team up with Nike and Target to provide under pr iv ileged children with backpacks filled with school supplies for the year, as well as shoes and clothes. They are longtime supporters of educational programs and experiences through organizations such as DonorsChoose.org, which Young named as the beneficiary of a grant earned from the Major League Baseball Players Trust after being selcted American League Comeback Player. In Kansas City, the Young’s were instrumental in supporting the KC Urban Youth Academy, which created fields, classrooms and a training center in the city. In his current capacity, Young works with MLB’s Baseball Operations and Umpiring Departments on issues affecting play on the field, including the application of playing rules and regulations, on-field standards and discipline, pace of play and other special projects. Young also ensures that ballpark alterations meet MLB standards, assists with negotiations with other baseball entities, and participates in issues regarding player safet y, on -f ield e q u ipm e nt a n d wearable technology.

As part of the supporting cast for the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team during her debut season in the spring of 2016, Kathyrn DeMilt set a goal. “When I started off my freshman year I would look up to my seniors, like Taylor Lis,” recalled DeMilt. All these players are getting their 100th goal and I thought I want to be like them one day.” Over the last three years, DeMilt followed in their footsteps, emerging as a top scorer for the Tigers. With top-seeded PHS hosting fourth-seeded Howell High in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional semis last week, DeMilt was approaching her target, coming into the contest with 94 goals on her career. But as DeMilt took the field for the May 21 contest, she wasn’t confident that it was her day to achieve the milestone. “Honestly, the warmup was not great,” said DeMilt. “I talked to my coach [Meg Reilly] before that game and I was telling her that I felt a little anxious. I wanted to come out strong and I wanted to do well today and she helped me out.” Overcoming her nerves, DeMilt produced a ver y strong first half, tallying three goals and three assists as PHS jumped out to a 13-3 halftime lead.

“This is one of my last times playing on this field ever. I was just excited to get out there and play for my team,” said DeMilt. “When our team can get the draw and gets it down fast and get some quick goals off the bat, we get the energy. It carries throughout the game.” Continuing to bring the energy, DeMilt tallied her sixth goal of the contest late in the second half to hit the century mark, prompting loud cheers from the bleachers and the unfurling of posters. “The fact that I could get it makes me feel good,” said DeMilt, who ended up with six goals and four assists on the day as the Tigers cruised to a 21-4 triumph. “Since this is the last time I am playing on a team, it means so much to me that this has been a great senior year. The fact that I can end my lacrosse career off of such a happy memory, it just means the world.” Making a second straight sectional final, which saw PHS top s econd - s eeded Rancocas Valley 10-5 on Friday, was special for DeMilt and her classmates. “We have been through a lot all of the seniors over the four years,” said DeMilt, who tallied a goal in the win over Rancocas Valley as the Tigers improved to 18-2 and advanced to the state Group

4 semis where they will face South champion Eastern on May 29 at Moorestown. “Now that we have built that friendship on and off the field, it definitely ends up with great results.” PHS head coach Meg Reilly liked seeing DeMilt get the result that she wanted. “I told her not to focus on that but with the signs and the fans and it is a postseason game, there is always a lot of pressure for that,” said Reilly. “It is a different kind of vibe when it is postseason, but she rose to the challenge and she killed it.” Reilly credited DeMilt with not forcing things and piling up her points in the flow of the game. “Kathryn did it in an unselfish way; she wasn’t always looking for the drive,” said Reilly. “She was just looking to set up her teammates and it ended up working well that they set her up. She was just hustling so well. At halftime, I complimented her and Eva Petrone for their hustle all over the field.” DeMilt, for her part, credited her teammates with paving the way for her milestone. “I have never played on a team that moves the ball this well,” said DeMilt. “I think that we have a whole field of girls who k now how to play, who have IQ and can move the ball fast. We play a beautiful game of lacrosse.” —Bill Alden

Marciano Sparks Rally for PHS Girls’ Lax As Tigers Win 2nd Straight Sectional Title Even though the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team trailed Rancocas Valley 4-2 at halftime of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional final last Friday, Shaylah Marciano had no doubts that PHS could rally for victory. “I knew we had in it us to come back,” said Tiger junior star midfielder Marciano. “We knew if we put the foot on the pedal, we just would be able to keep it going.” That confidence was also based on experience as PHS had overcome an 8-4 deficit against Rancocas Valley in last year’s sectional final to pull out a 9-8 win, sparked by Mariana Lopez-Ona dominating the draw control. Using the same formula last Friday, PHS seized momentum as senior star and Michigan-bound Lopez-Ona snatched up draw after draw. “Mariana’s ability to place it and find the opening for us to be able to win it is absolutely remarkable,” said Marciano, who is also headed to Michigan. “She knows exactly what to do to let her team win it. It has been super important for all of these games in terms of winning. It really changed the momentum of the game today, being able to win the draw.” Capitalizing on the stellar work of Lopez-Ona in the circle, Marciano enjoyed a feeling of deja vu as she sparked another really against Rancocas Valley. After a goal by PHS freshman star Kate Becker to narrow the gap to 4-3 with 21:15 reaming in the second half, Marciano found the back of the net two minutes later to make it 4-4. “After that goal, we know ‘hey we are in this and we just need to keep pushing,’” said Marciano. “That is what we did and we didn’t stop.” The Tigers didn’t stop, finishing the game with a 6-1 run to pull away to a 10-5 win, improving to 18-2 and earning a spot in the state Group 4 semis where they will face South sectional champions Eastern (17-3) at Moorestown on May 29 with the victor advancing to the title game on June 1. In reflecting on the second half outburst by the Tigers, Marciano pointed to the squad’s balanced offense. “Everyone is a threat on attack and that is what is so great about it this year,” said Marciano, who ended up with three goals and an assist in the win with Lopez-Ona getting three goals and Becker chipping in two. “Anyone can pass, shoot, or feed. We are able to capitalize because everyone is able to do everything.” It was great feeling for PH S to e a r n a s e c o n d straight sectional crown. “It is incredible; we wanted to do it for our seniors, they have been such great leaders the entire season,” said Marciano. “Winning this again is a dream come true.” While attack came alive down the stretch against Rancocas Valley, the defense was a constant for the Tigers in the win. “I think our defense gets better everyday,” said Marciano. “Lila [Doran] is app r o a c h i n g a l m o s t 10 0

caused turnovers. Her ability to play defense leads them. Gigi [Peloso] has been playing absolutely phenomenal in goal. She was the one that turned the momentum and kept us in the game. We wouldn’t be here it if it wasn’t for her.” PH S h e ad coach Me g Reilly was confident that her players could seize momentum in the second half just as they had in the 2018 sectional final. “The message at half time was to have everyone realize that this is exactly where we were last year,” said firstyear coach Reilly, who was an assistant last year. “We just have to play out game and we have to slow the ball down.” Showing patience in the second half, PHS was able to wear down the Red Devils. “We got our long possessions so we were able to play that selfless attack where we use everybody,” said Reilly. “Once we started that, we got it.” Meanwhile, the one-two punch of Lopez-Ona and Marciano helped trigger the attack. “Mariana has worked so hard on draw; she works harder than anybody and is prepared for any draw,” said Reilly. “Shaylah pulls the momentum. When Shaylah is on, the whole team is on. She has so much heart and fire as a player.” The PHS defensive unit displayed hear t, stif ling

Rancocas Valley in the second half as the Red Devils could manage only one goal over the last 25 minutes of the contest. “Our defense communicated so well, they forced every single person out all the way out of the play,” said Reilly, noting that junior Lauren Rougas and senior Olivia Intartaglia combined to help shut down Rancocas Valley star Sydney Sventy after she scored four goals in the first half. “Gigi [Peloso] was so composed in goal, especially for a freshman. She was fearless, her clears were on fire. It was just impeccable defense.” In Reilly’s view, the second straight sectional crown is a tribute to the team’s appetite for work and improvement. “It is amazing; the girls have worked so hard,” said Reilly. “They know each other’s strengths even better, they set each other up better. The more time we have together, the better we get. These six seniors (Serena Bolitho, Kathryn DeMilt, Megan Mavoides, Morgan Mavoides, Intartaglia, and Lopez-Ona) are so special, I never want this season to end.” Marciano, for her part, believes that PHS has the strength to keep going in the Group 4 final four. “We play our best when we play our lacrosse,” said Marciano, referring to the team’s multi-pronged attack. “It is much prettier to watch and it is so much smoother when we play our game. —Bill Alden

PHS Boys’ Track Ties for 3rd in Sectional Meet; Has Star Power to Challenge for Group 4 Crown Competing in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional outdoor meet at Howell High last weekend, the Princeton High boys’ track team found itself in a four-horse race for the team title. While PHS ended up tying Freehold for third with 70 pointe behind winner Franklin (78) and runner-up South Brunswick (71), Ben Samara had no qualms with the effort he got from his athletes. “We fell short in just a couple of places but pretty much across the board ever yone per formed really well,” said PHS associate head coach Samara. “We were so proud of the team.” S en ior s tar and Dar tmout h -bou nd Nils Wild berg performed at a very high level, winning the long jump and taking second in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes. “Nils is getting ready to do some big things; if we are going to win the group meet, it is going to be on his back,” said Samara. “This past weekend, he had the eighth fastest 100 time in the state and the fifth fastest 100 time in the state, not to mention what he does in the long jump. He has blossomed into an all-around stud.” PHS boasts another stud

in senior and Pr inceton commit Paul Brennan, who placed first in both the shot put and discus. “Paul was able to come through with two sectional titles, that is not an easy feat, it doesn’t happen often,” said Samara. “He had a m is hap i n the shot put at the county c h a m p i o n s h i p s. I t i s a continued testament to him that, whenever there is a setback, he is able to come back with an increased focus and clarity for his events. He didn’t miss a beat. Paul is a big key for this coming weekend.” One of the big moments of the meet for the Tigers came when senior Jack Phelan pulled off a stunning win in the triple jump with a personal best of 44’5. “Jack Phelan was the star of the weekend,” asserted Samara. “We had a little bit of trouble in the mile and we thought we were pretty much out of the meet at that point. Jack Phelan comes out of nowhere with a 2-foot PR and puts us right back in the meet and becomes a sectional champion.” While Samara acknowledged that he was taken aback by Phelan’s triumph, he saw it as a fitting reward for the senior’s efforts over the years.

“There are a lot of things I could tell you that I think might happen in a meet, this is one I never saw coming,” said Samara. “Maybe we should have seen it com ing because there is nobody who has worked harder over the last three years than Jack. It could not have happened for a nicer kid or a more hard working kid. He is the epitome of what we want our program to be. He is an incredible kid.” Another senior stalwart, Jackson McCar thy, gave PHS some good work, taking third in the 1,600 and fifth in the 800. “McCar thy has been steady the whole way; there were a lot of interesting races this week and he weathered the storm in the mile and the 800 like a pro,” said Samara. “He is our steady hand; he has been a great leader for us. He is really good at rallying our guys together when we need a big performance. He is one we are going to miss a lot; I am glad that we get to see a little bit more of him.” Taking sixth the 400 and eighth in the 800, senior Jack Whetsone had a solid performance at the meet. “Jack Whetstone is a war-

rior; he will do anything for the team and to improve himself,” said Samara. “He had the two best races of his career over the weekend. He battled and was able to win the unseeded heat of the 400 to advance in sixth place.” The PHS girls’ team, for its part, was paced by two war r iors, junior Colleen Linko and senior Siena Moran, as it finished eighth overall in the meet won by South Br unsw ick. Linko placed second in the 400 and third in the 200 while Moran took second in the 1,600 and fifth in the 800. The two helped the 4x400 relay place third. “Colleen and Siena are just remarkable; I can remember seeing Colleen’s face as a freshman and a sophomore when I would tell her that she has to run a 200 and a 400 in the same meet and now she is doing the unthinkable,” said Samara. “Siena had the opportunity to pick and choose the events she wanted to do this weekend and she chose to do everything. That is just the kind of kid she is. Even knowing that the last two events of the quad are literally back to back, she didn’t care. She is fearless.” Senior Nicole Richardson showed no fear in taking sixth in the 400 hurdles and ninth in the pole vault. “Nicole has really worked

hard in the hurdle and the pole vault,” said Samara. “It has been nice to have those events covered. Those are events we are typically not strong in on the girls’ side. It is nice to see us having some success there. To get a Group 4 qualifier in the hurdles is a testament to the hard work everybody has put in.” With the Tigers next in next in action when they compete in the state Group 4 meet at Franklin High from May 31-June 1, Samara believes that Linko, Moran, and the 4x400 team have what it takes to place in the top six and advance to the Meet of Champions. “We want to try to get as many people as we can through,” said Samara. “The order of events at groups sets up a little bit better for us to get the 4x400 through, that will be a goal of ours. We would like to see Colleen get through in the 400 and the 200. We are confident Siena is going to get through i n w h a te v e r e v e n t s h e chooses to run and knowing her, it is probably going to be all of them.” On the other hand, the boys have the star power to be in the hunt for a team title at the Group meet. “We have said all along that we are a real top-heavy team,” said Samara. “We don’t have a lot of back points but we have guys up top who can really

do some big things. If Paul could pull out a top two finish in the shot and the discus, and if Nils can stay where he is on the depth chart and pull out top three finishes in the 100 and the 200 while winning the long jump, we are going to be right in the mix.” With PHS having finished a strong third in both the county and sectional meets, Samara believes the squad is due to finally put it all together. “There have been a lot of high points for the boys this year but on the whole coming off of last year, it has been a really tough season for the guys,” said Samara, noting that the boys’ team won the outdoor county, sectional, and group crowns in 2018. “There has been a lot of injuries, a lot of close calls, and a lot of heartbreak. This weekend has been where our eyes have been all year. They really deserve to get something this year. I think the difference between all of the other meets that we have tried to win and this group meet is that nothing out of the ordinary needs to happen now. Everyone is where they need to be to perform so the pressure is a little bit off at this point. I really want this group to go out on a high note because they deserve it.” —Bill Alden

Hun Girls’ Lacrosse Ends Spring on High Note As Win at WW/P-N in Finale Reflects Progress After the Hun School girls’ lacrosse team fell to WW/PNorth in the second round of the Mercer County Tournament, it didn’t have to wait long for a rematch against the Northern Knights. A week after the 14-10 defeat in the MCT, Hun traveled to WW/P-North for its season finale and turned the tables on their foe, posting a 14-7 win. As the Raiders prepared for rou nd t wo w it h t he Northern Knights, Hun head coach Rachel Hickey sensed that her squad was primed

for redemption in the May 10 contest. “Monday and Tues day were not great practices and then something clicked on Wednesday,” said first year head coach Hickey. “There was a complete shift in the way they were practicing in terms of our mentality. They were holding one another accountable and really playing hard. It was really cool to see them rise to the occasion in those two practices. I felt like it led into the way we played on Friday.”

In reflecting on how the Raiders rose to the occasion in the finale, Hickey attributed it to being on the same page all over the field. “After the game I told them what I was most proud of them was that we were playing as a team throughout the whole game,” said Hickey, who got six goals and an assist from junior star Ally Cowan in the victory with senior midfielder Lauren Johns chipping in four goals and sophomore Renee Nearing adding two as the Raiders ended the

PARTING SHOT: Hun School girls’ lacrosse player Lauren Johns heads to goal in a game this spring.

spring with a 5-9 record. “We were playing as a team on the offensive end, we were playing as a team in transition, utilizing one another with passes, and we were playing as a team on defense. I really felt like it was a whole team effort; they were trusting one another on the field as well.” By developing a deeper trust in each other as the season went on, the Hun players executed better on the field. “They started to simply improve by getting to know one another better,” said Hickey. “They star ted to learn their strengths and weaknesses and recognize, OK, this teammate needs a good driver so I am going to cut through for her or this teammate is going to pass it to me inside.” Hickey credited her group of seniors, which included Grace Werosta, Kiera Black, Kendall Nehlig, Caroline Connolly, Jordan DelOrefice, Olivia McNulty, and Brenna Wehner in addition to Johns, with helping her build trust in her debut season at the helm of the program. “The second I stepped on campus the people I reached out the most to were the seniors,” said Hickey, who coached at Kings College and Wesleyan University before coming to Hun. “I have been a part of taking over a team before at the college level. I saw the importance of really having the seniors jump on the boat first. I relied on them a lot in terms of communicating the expectations that I was going to have for the season. I felt like, from the beginning of the year, they really jumped on board, which is something I am really thankful for.”

Hun was thankful to have junior transfer Ally Cowan come on board and emerge as the team’s go-to finisher in her first campaign for the Raiders. “Ally is not just an awesome lacrosse player, she is an awesome human as well,” said Hickey of Cowan. Cowan had 57 goals this season as she passed the 100-goal mark in her high school career. “She loves the game of lacrosse and I think when you have a natural love for the game, it is natural for you to work hard and to show up on game day. Ally shows up every single day and practices hard and that rubs off on her other teammates as well. She recognizes that when her team needs a goal, she has to step up and she does it, but not in a selfish way. She is the kind of kid who is really incredible to coach. She is always really thankful and appreciative of the time you put in.” Looking ahead, Hickey believes that her returning players are poised to step up. “The juniors always playing together, suppor ting one another and laughing, so I think our team culture is going to be really strong because they are going to be leading it,” said Hickey. “I am really excited for the juniors as a whole to be seniors next year. We also have a lot of balance in terms of who is returning. I have Rose Denommee on the attacking end and Emily Albanese in the midfield. I have Chessie Ross on defense and I have Ariel Gold in a cage. I have Ally all over the field. We have experience spread throughout the whole field.” Hickey, for her part, isn’t hiding her excitement about the 2020 season. “Once the last game was over, I was already thinking, this is what I am going to do next year, this is what I am going to change, this is what I am going to keep,” said Hickey. “As a coach, you are always thinking about what you can do better and what can you do to make this next season more successful. I am already working on those things; I am eager for next year.” —Bill Alden

SPRING PLANTING? RIGHT TREE, RIGHT SITE With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

There is something exciting about planting a new tree that feels just great. Trees are permanent additions to your property and, therefore, require thought and planning when selecting the right one. Determining the proper species for the proposed planting area is critical to saving time and money and avoiding future disappointments. As with any worthwhile investment, it is essential to take time to investigate and select wisely. Choosing a site to plant a tree, or choosing the proper tree for a given site, is a decision not to be taken lightly. Here are some basic guidelines to help make that decision. Of course, our arborists can walk through the steps with you to ensure your investment reaps optimum future return.

Plant and Site Factors for Consideration • Hardiness: Make sure the tree is adapted to the temperature extremes of our geographic region. • Light exposure: Note how many hours of direct sunlight the planting site receives. • Space constraints: Allow adequate room as the plant matures both above and below ground. • Form and function: Consider species attributes; i.e., evergreens vs. deciduous foliage, shade tree vs. ornamental qualities. • Soil characteristics: Select species suited for the soil types present at the site. • Pest problems: Choose insect and disease resistant varieties, if available. • Drainage: Match species tolerant to the moisture and drainage conditions of the soil.

For a tree and site evaluation of your property, call

Obituaries

Mac Glenn Morris Mac Glenn Morris, 97, passed away peacefully on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, 2019 in Princeton, NJ. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of nearly 73 years, Janelle Connevey Morris; his son Robert Steven Morris of Cleveland, OH; his daughter Janelle Morris Thibau and son-inlaw Eric Thibau of Potomac, MD; his son-in-law Edward Michael Harris of Perkasie, PA; and his son John Logan Morris and daughter-in-law Susan Teare Morris of Princeton, NJ. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren, along with many loving nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter Patricia Morris Harris of Perkasie, PA, who passed away May 17, 2019. Mac was born Januar y 24, 1922 in Bessemer City, NC, to Erin C. Morris and Manley T. Morris, a station agent for the Southern Railway. He grew up in Gastonia, NC. At age 16 he went to Davidson College in Davidson, NC, where his two older brothers had also attended. Upon graduation in 1942, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and served throughout World War II as

a bomber pilot in the Pacific, providing close air support to allied troops in the Philippines. He earned the rank of First Lieutenant and was decorated for his service with seven Air Medals and two Distinguished Flying Crosses. Mac met his wife Janelle while assigned to Chase Field Naval Air Station in Beeville, TX, after the war ended. Their wedding on July 27, 1946 marked the beginning of a love story that grew to encompass not only family but a community of friends and colleagues that spanned the country and the globe. Mac enjoyed the partnership of Janelle throughout his career, often crediting her with all of his success, starting in advertising sales in Birmingham, AL, with Progressive Farmer, moving to This Week Magazine in New York, NY, then as head of Newspaper One, and finally as Vice President and national sales leader at Newspaper Advertising Bureau for the top brands in the U.S. During his long career, Mac developed close friendships with editors and publishers of the major U.S. city newspapers and newspaper chains, and had an unique foresight in recognizing industry changes for the future. Mac and Janelle moved to Princeton, NJ, in 1947, to the Stanworth Apartments on Bayard Lane, which were welcoming veterans. Mac commuted to New York by train and made many friends on the daily commute. Mac and Janelle purchased Clearbrook Farm on Herrontown Road, Princeton in April 1962. It became the hub of activity for the Morris family and their friends, hosting the Annuals, Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings, church picnics, weddings, and many musical evenings. Countless family members and friends remember gatherings at the “farm,” with Texas barbecues, spotlight tag, sing-alongs around the piano, and ball games. Throughout his life, Mac was the family station wagon

“pilot” for annual drives out West with Janelle, developing a community of treasured friends within the Navajo, Zuni, Santo Domingo, Hopi, and other Native American communities whose beautiful jewelry they so admired and loved to share. The family has wonderful memories of many road trips around the country seeing friends and singing and laughing all the way. Mac will be remembered by all those who loved him as a kind, generous, and loving soul, a loyal friend, an inspiration and mentor, a patriot and a faithful servant. He served many years as an active elder of the First Presbyterian Church, then of its successor the Nassau Presbyterian Church, in Princeton, NJ. He was on the board of the Princeton Bank, and a longtime member of the Nassau Club, Springdale Golf Club, and the Princeton Investor Group. Services will be held Monday, June 10th, 2019 at 2 p.m. at Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, NJ. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made in his name to Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina, or Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, NJ. Arrangements are under the direction of the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, Princeton.

Stephen L. McDonald Stephen L. McDonald, 56, of Lawrenceville, NJ, passed away suddenly on May 13, 2019. He was born July 21,

1962 in Princeton, NJ. He grew up in Princeton, attended St. Paul’s School, and graduated from Princeton High School where he developed many lifelong friendships. He excelled on the lacrosse field for the Little Tigers and loved the camaraderie that the sport provided on and off the field. Stephen attended Franklin Pierce College in Rindge, NH, and settled in the Boston area. He lived in Marblehead, MA, for many years, fishing and lobstering the waters and working in construction. He returned home to the Princeton area in 1996 to be closer to his family and to spend more time with his nieces and nephews. Affectionately known as Mackey, Stephen brightened every room he entered. He always had a smile on his face and “never had a bad day.” His generous spirit, loving nature, fierce loyalty, and wicked sense of humor truly defined his character. Above all, he cherished his family. Anyone who knew Stephen was well aware that his days living in the Boston area cultivated one of the most loyal Boston sports fans. He loved the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and especially his New England Patriots. Stephen worked for Airgroup-Philadelphia in Allentown, NJ, in logistics for the last 25 years. Every weekend and many mornings before work he could be found on the golf course at The Lawrenceville School trying to perfect his game. He took great pride in his Irish heritage and was a long-standing member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Hamilton, NJ. He spent his summer holidays in Carlow, Ireland, where most of his extended family lives. He thoroughly enjoyed those summers playing golf on most days and reveled in the craic and banter that was sure to follow at the nearby pub. The locals anticipated his annual visit and affectionately nicknamed him “The Yank.”

Stephen’s love of his nieces and nephews was clear and undeniable. He devoted his time to teaching, nurturing, and loving them like his own children. He was always on the sidelines cheering them on and was so proud of all of their accomplishments. His presence in their lives will be sorely missed but will endure for years to come. Son of the late Christopher McDonald, he is survived by his mother Julia McDonald of Lawrenceville, brother Christopher McDonald and his wife Kari of North Brunswick, sister Sheila Brush and her husband Jonathan of Lawrenceville, nephew Michael McDonald (Rachel) of Washington DC, niece Hayley McDonald of North Brunswick, nephews Patrick and Keelan Brush and niece Teagan Brush all of Lawrenceville. Stephen leaves behind countless special friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his entire extended family in Ireland. He loved each and every one of them dearly. The service will be held on June 1, 2019 at St. Ann’s Church, 1253 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrenceville, NJ. Friends will be received from 9 to 10 a.m. at the church with the Memorial Mass immediately following at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Stephen’s name to ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

Robert Burchill Stewart Robert Burchill Stewart, age 86, of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 17th, af ter nine months fighting brain cancer. He was an artist, outdoorsman, and a proud father of four girls but above all a gentleman with a sense of humor and dogged work ethic. Born in Sewickley, PA, in 1932, Bob grew up with mother, Eileen Burchill and father, John Alexander Stew-

art and his two siblings: his older brother, John and his younger sister Eileen. When he was 12 years old his family moved to Terhune Road in Princeton, NJ, where Bob managed Robeson’s livery stable renting out horses and wagons for recreation. He went to Princeton High School and met his wife, Carol Theresa Scasserra of Kingston, NJ, and afterward attended the Philadelphia Museum School of Art where he learned graphic design and taught painting and drawing. Bob served in the U.S. Navy for eight years and piloted a landing craft for troops in the Korean War. Once Bob and Carol got married they moved to New York City where he worked in various advertising agencies, J. Walter Thompson, BBD&O, and Warren Pfaff Inc. where he was creative art director and senior vice president for prestigious clients such as Pan American Airlines, Rolls Royce, the Metropolitan Opera, and Macanudo Cigars. When Bob and Carol started a family, they settled back in New Jersey in Kendall Park, then Princeton, then the small town of Hopewell. The historic John Hart Farm on Hart Avenue was home for the growing Stewar t family for 35 years. It was a labor of love for Bob and he took great pride in restoring the homestead. Bob and Carol retired to Kennett Square, PA. He was an avid sportsman and belonged to both Black Rock Gun Club and Nassau Gun Club. He traveled all over the world to hunt and fish from the boundary waters of Minnesota to the grasslands of Africa. The best fishing of course was at dusk off the dock on the north end of Kezar Lake in Lovell, ME. He is survived by his wife Carol; his daughters Karen, Celia, Alison, and Emily; his grandchildren Ben, Bobby, Sam, Jackson, Henry, Maggie, Sophie, Emily, Miles, and Margot ; and g reatgrandchildren Birchal and Bethani. B u r i a l w a s o n S at u r day, May 25, 2019 at the H ig h la n d C e m e ter y, 95 Hopewell-Wertsville Road, Hopewell, NJ. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Robert Burchill Stewart’s name may be made to the American Cancer Society, 1626 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

“MID-CENTURY MODERN” IS THE MAGIC WORD OF TODAY! Located in Princeton’s Johnson Park area, and set on a beautifully landscaped knoll, this three bedroom home is the epitome of timeless elegance. The bluestone-floored breezeway has exposed brick wall, and a delightful “architectural folly” suggests an enclosed porch. Renovated by a well-respected designer as her own home, and continued by the current owner, the materials used are sophisticated yet functional, with limestone kitchen counters and floor, and natural wood cabinetry. Sleek top-of-the-line appliances and hardware emphasize its appeal. The formal dining room has a wonderful hanging light fixture and window wall, and flows gracefully into the living room, each having herringbone floor. The living room fireplace serves as a focal point, having a raised slate-topped hearth and brick facade. Three bedrooms complete the main level, and two full baths have been updated in keeping with the retro style of the house. Connected to the main bedroom is a delightful screened-in porch, overlooking the glorious gardens. It is clear that a master gardener has been here! Upstairs you will find a bonus room, carpeted, and absolutely charming, with nooks and crannies galore. A real surprise is the finished room attached to the two-car garage. $950,000

This Princeton residence has achieved the perfect balance of impressive and inviting. Claiming a spot at the end of a private cul de sac, the handsome house in like-new condition is entirely built of brick and capped with a slate roof. A front door of remarkable size hints at the scale of the spaces to come, but the lofty ceilings, wide corridors and substantial millwork still exceed expectations. Four generous ensuite bedrooms. And the lower level has it all: theater, gym, game room and more. $2,695,000

OPEN HOUSE: SAT. JUNE 1 ST 11-2

Leave your car in the newly created driveway! Grab a coffee. Catch a movie. Attend a lecture on campus. All of this and so much more are at the doorstep of this turnof-the-century Queen Anne in a heart-of-town location. Although many improvements are obvious, such as all new bathrooms, the preservation of period details were top priority. Wood floors, French doors and a pretty staircase greet you in the foyer. The updated white and granite kitchen is large and bright with sliders to a sundeck above the deep backyard. Don’t miss the glorious third floor! $1,250,000 “Real estate has been the perfect profession for me, a lifelong Princetonian with a love of architecture and people. As a broker associate for over 30 years, I have guided sellers and buyers in Princeton and the surrounding communities through the ups and downs of the real estate market.
