As a result of a joint investigation by the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and the Princeton Police Department into illegal dumping at the Princeton Sewer Operating Plant, a former municipal employee has been charged with bribery in the second degree. Thomas Hughes, who until June 6 was the supervisor at the facility on River Road, was charged “for accepting payments to influence his official duties,” according to a police report issued this week. Hughes is scheduled to appear in Mercer County Superior Court on June 27. He allegedly allowed contractors to dump materials, including dirt and asphalt, at the facility. In addition, the head of the Department of Infrastructure and Operations, which oversees the Sewer Operating Division, has been placed on paid leave while the investigation continues. “There may be further actions taken as the investigation proceeds,” Mayor Liz Lempert wrote last Friday in her weekly email update. “The municipality has called in the Mercer County Prosecutor’s office, and is committed to a full and thorough investigation and appropriate disciplinary measures. The Council and I are angry about the misuse of the River Road site. Our goal is to support a thorough investigation, to uncover any systemic failings, and put new procedures in place to safeguard our operations.” First reported by Planet Princeton late last month, the allegations of improper dumping have resulted in Princeton’s Health Department, along with state and county environmental officials, inspecting the site to determine whether violations of environmental regulations have occurred. Last week, the town received a report from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) saying materials were disposed of at the facility without proper approvals. A full inspection report has not yet been filed, according to the agency’s website. “The municipality is in the process of engaging the services of a licensed site remediation specialist to advise on necessary cleanup actions,” Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield wrote in a statement this week. “The municipality intends to terminate the contract with ICUNJ, the contractor for the Linden and Continued on Page 9

Princeton Pride Parade Rolls Out Saturday Princeton’s first-ever Pride Parade is ready to roll out Saturday morning at 11 a.m. from the Municipal Building on Witherspoon Street. Organized by the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice (BRCSJ), the parade, led by Philadelphia Freedom, an LGBTQIA marching band from Philadelphia, will proceed up Witherspoon Street, turning on Paul Robeson Place, and ending up at an after-party at the YMCA green space with live music, a drag show, food trucks, and “a vast array of speakers,” according to BRCSJ Chief Actifvist Robt SedaSchreiber. “The significance and history of this moment is realized both in celebration of this being Princeton’s very first Pride
Parade and in recognition and respect to Stonewall 50,” said Seda-Schreiber. “In honor of these concurrent events we will sashay and strut in the delight of how far we have come as much as we will march in solidarity of how far we have yet to go.” Seda-Schreiber pointed out that sometimes a parade is more than just a parade. “This event will carry forward well beyond this one event, this one day,” he said. “We hope to create an exponential safe space, as this day inspires folks to recognize and celebrate our diversity and our intersectionality.” Eleven-year-old Mani Martinez, who is organizing a group of young people who will ride bicycles in the parade as part of the “Pride Riders,” commented on the im-
pact of the parade and the BRCSJ, which opened six months ago. “Since it opened, the Center has made me feel safe and happy, more like myself. Now this Pride Parade is going to help a lot of other kids feel that same way, and that makes me even happier.” Emphasizing the potential impact of the event, Seda-Schreiber continued, “Our kids who are bullied in school, our coworkers who are harassed in their offices, our elders who have spent a lifetime unrecognized as their true selves — they will see us assembled and feel represented, respected, even loved. They can feel like they are a part of something rather than constantly on the outside of it.” Continued on Page 11
Youth Committee Advises Council, Forges New Directions for Princeton
ART ALL NIGHT RETURNS: Live mural painting was just one of the many attractions at Art All Night, held last weekend at the Roebling Wire Works in Trenton . The community festival, which also featured plenty of art, live music, interactive events, food trucks, and more, returned with increased security after it was cut short by gun violence last year . Eventgoers share their favorite parts of the festival in this week’s Town Talk on page 6 . (Photo by Charles R. Plohn)
Current members of the Princeton Council are all at least a generation removed from their youth, and no matter how strong their memories might be, the world of 2019 presents a very different landscape with different challenges from those of the past. That’s why the Princeton Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) for the last three years has been advising the Princeton mayor and Council on a range of issues of interest to local youth. “We give a voice and platform for the youth population of our town,” said YAC Vice Chair Nandita Nammanamanchi, a Princeton High School (PHS) junior. “Our role in working with the Council is important because we are able to give them first-hand insight on a demographic that is highly important, but one they are detached from, and we can present them with new perspectives on their projects. In general, for the youth of Princeton, we are giving them a voice in the local political sphere.” YAC Chair and PHS Senior Eli Wasserman pointed out, “YAC is extremely valuable to our community because we act as a primary source for the issues facing students in Princeton. High schoolers are becoming more active and outspoken on political and social issues every year, so the YAC is here to listen to the students’ needs.” Continued on Page 12

Womanspace honored Tony Porter, founder and CEO of A CALL TO MEN, at the 25th Annual Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award Event held on Thursday, May 23 at the Hyatt Regency Princeton. Porter is an author, educator, and social justice activist. His 2010 TED Talk was named by GQ Magazine as one of the “Top 10 TED Talks every man should see.” Womanspace honored Porter for his efforts to prevent violence against women while promoting a healthy manhood. In addition to Porter, Mercer County Freeholder Sam Frisby spoke about his own experience with interpersonal violence. Approximately 300 people attended this year’s event, which included dinner, drinks, Shiseido goodie bags, a vacation raffle (provided by Apple Vacations and Riu Hotels & Resorts), and a silent auction. Janssen Pharmaceuticals was this year’s Presenting Sponsor. The event raised over $150,000 to provide services for men, women, and children affected by domestic and sexual violence.
One Table Cafe Hosts Singer, Pianist

Correction The story “Immigrants’ Needs, Concerns, and Ways to Help Highlight PCDO Forum (Page 1, June 12) should have noted that LALDEF has issued about 13,000 (not 3,000) Community ID cards since 2009.
This is Welsh’s third visit to the cafe, which has been operating for over eight years. Welsh explores a variety of songs from Richard Rodgers composed in collaboration with Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein II, and Stephen Sondheim. Olives Restaurant is providing the dinner. Reservations are required. Call (609) 216-7770 by June 19. One Table Café is designed to build community by bringing people together to have dinner and some great conversations while listening to a compelling and community-minded speaker, performer, or group.

At One Table Café, diners cannot distinguish between donors and those who really need a meal.

“These young robotic rock stars are smart, confident, and possess extraordinary communication skills,” said Douglas Clayton, SES senior vice president, human resources. “They embody the entire talent package important to SES and, at a relatively young age, have inspired many of us. Ultimately, they provide a valuable pipeline of skills for SES’s future.” The Y WCA Princeton’s Robotics program for girls in grades 4-12 was launched three years ago as an effort to reduce gender and racial disparities in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field. “Starting robotics was a dream,” said Cheryl RoweRendleman, YWCA board member and CEO of Omar Consulting Group, at the gathering. “I didn’t know if we could pull this off. It’s not a light lift, it’s a heavy lift. It involves a lot of details, and coaches, and a lot of space.” “I have to admit that at the time we started, I didn’t understand the complications of robotics,” said Y WCA C EO Ju dy H ut ton, t h is week. “We started with one team, and now we have four. They are doing phenomenal work. They are among the few all-girl teams out there. And they have had to learn how to advocate, because being girls, they still get some push-back.

person,” said Hutton. “It’s about volunteering, problem - s olv i ng, a nd public speaking. If you ever see them at their competitions, it’s so evident that they work as a team. And they are generous, too — if another team is having a problem, they help them out, even thought it’s a competition.” There are 4,700 robotics teams across the globe. The girls have won multiple awards, including a world championship at FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) international high school robotics competitions. The YWCA teams have met with engineers not only from SES, but also from NASA, t he National Center for Women and Infor mation Technology, and Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, to learn more about the STEM field. This summer, the teams are helping the YWCA with a robotics class for students who live at Princeton Community Village. They have been invited to work with the local March of Dimes and other community organizations. A question-and-answer session followed the teams’ presentation, at which the girls displayed their robots and shared binders of weekly jour nals documenting their progress. Afterward, they were given a tour of SES. “It really motivates us as a team that there are so many people interested in what we do,” said Dhayagude. “So many companies say they support STEM, but SES and the YWCA do it especially well.” —Anne Levin

Rally to Impeach Trump Draws Crowd to Hinds Plaza Carr ying signs reading “High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” “Defend Democracy: Impeach Trump,” and “Trump is Not Above the Law” — demonstrators gathered in Hinds Plaza last Saturday, June 15, and called on Congress to impeach President Trump. Sponsored by MoveOn.org
as part of a national day of action, the rally featured four speakers, all expressing outrage at Trump and his actions and urging the House of Representatives to initiate impeachment proceedings. “How much longer are we going to be governed by scofflaws in the executive branch?” Princeton Councilman Tim
Quinn asked the crowd, estimated at 70 by MoveOn organizer Mary Stevens. “How much longer are we going to allow the legislative branch to abdicate its moral and constitutional obligation to impeach this scofflaw president, whatever the outcome?” Quinn continued, ”How much longer are we going to defund public goods like schools and libraries while demonizing our public workers? How much longer are we going to stand for the 40-year erosion of the modest gains made in the last century?” In her speech, Stevens reviewed the factual justification for seven articles of impeachment, based on a recent Washington Post article. Co-organizer Linda Gochfeld then spoke, reporting evidence of the destructive effects of the Trump administration on the social fabric of our country. She urged, “We must stand up against this threat to our American democracy before it is too late.” Gochfeld, a psychiatrist, pointed out, “People are anxious, worried, and depressed. The country is divided, neighbors can’t speak to neighbors. There are more ‘deaths of despair,’ addiction, and suicide, especially in the millennial generation.” Accentuating the urgency of the current situation, IMPEACHMENT ACTION: Rutgers University Professor Shadi she said, “We can’t wait for Tahvildar-Zadeh demonstrated against President Trump and the 2020 election.

His trade wars and tariffs threaten our economy. His poor judgment and impulsivity threaten a disastrous war at any time.” Coalition for Peace Action Executive Director the Rev. Robert Moore opened the proceedings with a condemnation of the moral and spiritual crisis he says Trump has created. “The Republicans have lost their soul,” Moore said. “They are putting party before country, party before soul,” he added. “That’s very troubling.” Moore noted that Trump’s action are “horrifying,” “treasonous,” and “should outrage every American.” Moore emphasized that impeachment is both “the right thing to do” and “the most effective thing to do too.” The percentage of Americans in favor of impeachment has risen in response to the release of the Mueller report and Mueller’s subsequent statement, according to MoveOn. A recent Reuters poll found that 45 percent of Americans currently support impeachment, with 42 percent opposed. Public support for impeachment is significantly higher than it was when Congress began impeachment inquiries into President Richard Nixon. Rep. Rashida Elaib (D-MI) and Rep. Al Green (D-TX) are co-sponsors of a House resolution to begin an impeachment inquiry. —Donald Gilpin
Municipality Gets Grant Action Plan (CAP) in 20182019, the grant will supFor Climate Action The Municipality of Princeton, in par tnership with Sustainable Princeton, has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts. With the goal of reducing emergencies during climate crises, this project includes a series of activities to proactively prepare for climate related emergencies and to better anticipate the needs of Princeton’s most climate vulnerable citizens — thus, ultimately reducing the demand for emergency response, allowing improved call response to address unpreventable emergencies for the entire community. A June 18 “table top exercise” will kick-off the grant’s activities by pulling together emergency response personnel with managers of Princeton’s affordable housing facilities, nursing homes, and other facilities housing vulnerable residents, to run through a mock climate crisis. The exercise will help identify Princeton’s emergency response strengths and where improvements can be made. Grant activities also focus on improving emergency response communications and updating the Emergency Operations Plan for climate related emergencies. Coordinated by municipal staff Bob Gregory, director of emergency management, and Jeff Grosser, assistant administrator and health officer, and in collaboration with Sustainable Princeton, a nonprofit which led the efforts to develop Princeton’s Climate

Spruce road project, based on its improper dumping of materials at the River Road site. The municipality is exploring all avenues for holding all contractors responsible for damages incurred by the town.” Among other allegations is a charge that a $300,000 jet truck was used to help a contractor install new sewer pipes at a private residence. According to published reports, a driver employed by the municipality admitted he was dumping materials removed from the site of the Mary Moss Playground renovation, located at John and Lytle streets, at the sewer facility. While contractors are responsible for disposing of dirt from job sites, it was alleged that about 40 truck loads were dumped at the River Road site in exchange for $75 a load. Further investigations are in process. “The municipality continues to cooperate w ith the Mercer Count y Prosecutor’s Office as they evaluate criminally-related matters,” Dashield said. —Anne Levin
Rider to Offer Online MA Program
Star ting in the fall of 2019, Rider University will begin offering an accelerated Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership program that can be completed entirely online in only five semesters. The 30-credit program is designed to enhance students’ leadership, supervisory, and administrative skills. Students will be enrolled in the developing people and organizations concentration, which offers a broad perspective on organizational behavior and leadership. In its accelerated format, each course will be approximately seven-weeks long, and there will be six admission cycles throughout the year. “We recognize that not everyone has the time for a traditional on-campus program model because they’re already very busy with work and family responsibilities, and there are only so many hours in the day,” said Program Director Tricia Nolfi, who is also an assistant professor. “At the same time, they might be required to obtain a master’s degree in order to advance in their careers, and this program will enable them to do that.” Nolfi added that in creating the new program, one of the key goals was ensuring that students taking the online courses will receive the same level of support as those who are on campus. “A big part of Rider’s culture has always been making sure our students succeed. That’s just a part of what we do.” Staff will be available to offer guidance along every step of the process, assisting students with everything from scheduling to financial aid to academic advising. There will even be periodic check-ins to see how the students’ experience is going after they have enrolled. “A few weeks into the course, someone will follow up to ask, ‘How are you doing? Is there anything you need help with?’” she said. “Since these students won’t physically come to campus, there’s going to be a lot
more outreach to ensure that they’re feeling connected to the University.” Prospective students will now be able to choose from among three options for earning their degree. In addition to the new accelerated format, Rider will continue to offer the current version, which follows the traditional 14-week semester format and generally takes three years to complete. For this option, students have the choice of taking classes fully online or in a hybrid format, which combines online learning with on-campus classes. As an interdisciplinar y master’s program at Rider, organizational leadership attracts students from a variety of areas, including education, nonprofits, business, and public organizations. “Our program is really relevant for any individual aspiring to be a leader within an organization,” said Nolfi. Nevertheless, she notes that many of the students in the Developing People and Organizations concentration tend to work in human resources or learning and development positions. Additional infor mation about the Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership program is available at www.rider.edu/ma-orglead. Those interested in learning more about the accelerated program format can contact Program Director Tricia Nolfi at tnolfi@rider.edu.
Free Workshop Offered For Dementia Caregivers
To support local family caregivers of people with dementia, The Education Center at Van Dyck Law is offering a workshop developed by the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving (RCI) on July 30. The deadline for registration is July 15. The Dealing with Dementia Workshop provides tips and strategies for caregivers on best practices for caring for their loved ones and themselves. “Most family caregivers assume the care of a loved one without access to needed training and education,” said Gayle Alston, director of RCI Training Center for Excellence. “Caregiving for a loved one is a rewarding and loving experience. However, due to the physical and emotional demands of caregiving and the struggles specific to dementia care, caregivers often suffer high levels of stress and depression. The goal for the Dealing with Dementia Caregiver Workshop is for Alzheimer’s and dementia family caregivers to gain a better understanding of dementia, utilize strategies to effectively manage dementia behaviors, and develop habits of stress management and self-care.” Caregivers who attend the four-hour workshop will receive a copy of the new Dealing with Dementia Guide. This guide provides over 300 pages of information and solutions to problems caregivers face every day. Training will take place Tuesday, July 30 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. (9:30 registration) at The Education Center at Van Dyck Law, 707 State Road in Princeton. Individuals must pre-register for the workshop no later than July 15 by contacting Sheli Monacchio at sheli@vandyckfirm.com.

I loved that their families were able to see all of their hard work shine when they were running. Hearing the girls cheer for one another and watching them cross the finish line was unforgettable. I was honored and humbled to be part of such a great event with so many amazing girls.” Burlington County Program Director Melissa Neiheisel commented, “As the count y director, it is so amazing to see all the energy come from such young girls. I get to visit each site mid-season and it’s so
rewarding to see each one of them cross the finish line. All of their hard work has paid off and they are walking away with a toolbox of social-emotional strategies.” This year, girls were joined by the Gatorade New Jersey Cross Country Player of the Year, Randolph High S c h o o l ’s A b b y L o v e y s .

Seda-Schreiber described an extensive array of activities in conjunction with the Pride Parade, starting the night before with Parade Queen and Miss Gay New Jersey Lady Victoria Courtez leading a “Drag Me to Yoga” class at 6 p.m. at BRCSJ headquarters on Wiggins Street, then the first mini-parade down to the Princeton Arts Council for a Queer Pride Dance at 8 p.m., featuring Grand Marshal Mike Hot-Pence. With 40 different businesses, nonprofits, school groups, and others already registered, and an enthusiastic online response, SedaSchreiber is hoping for a sizable crowd. A volunteer
meeting last Saturday drew more than 50 supporters. “But this is not about the size of the crowd,” he said. “It’s about that one individual in the midst of that crowd who will find solace, acceptance, and love.” G over nor Phil Mur phy and First Lady Tammy Murphy, Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, and most of the members of Princeton Council are expected to attend, Seda-Schreiber noted. The inaugural Princeton P r i d e Pa r a d e w a s c on ceived by Seda-Schreiber a nd B RC S J C om m u n it y Outreach Coordinator Carol Watchler a few months ago as a way to celebrate Pride Month and spotlight LGBTQIA work done lo cally, especially the current
initiatives of the younger generation. The idea quickly won the support of Mayor L i z L e mp e r t, P r i n ce ton Council members, business and community leaders, and the local Police, Fire Safety, and Health Departments. Hoping to see the momentum from the Pride Parade carry over to the ongoing work of the BRCSJ, SedaSchreiber noted that the Center would be introducing a sliding fee scale, with no one turned away for lack of funds; a therapy program for LGBTQIA youth; social and political programming for LGBTQIA adults; and two events highlighting the history of the movement: Stonewall on June 26 and a talk w ith Hugh Ryan, author of When Brooklyn
Was Queer, on Saturday, July 6. Further information for those who want to march and support the Pride Parade is available at rustincenter.org/pride-parade. Reflecting on the history of the Pr ide movement, Frank Manhood, 80-yearold founding member of Gay People Princeton, recalled, “Although I was out to my friends, in my early 30s and on the staff of the University, I was a little reluctant to come to the new Gay Alliance of Princeton group that had just been started by two brave undergraduate students in 1972. I’m so grateful I did, and it changed my life.” He continued, “The coming together of so many others like myself gave us the courage to protest, march, petition, and succeed in changing laws that discriminated against us. So much of this struggle has taken place on the state and national level, and it is thrilling that the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice has taken up the mantle for us here in the Princeton area. It’s hard to believe that this will be the first such event here, and I’m so grateful the BRCSJ is providing us with this exciting opportunity.” —Donald Gilpin

Youth Committee continued from page one
Wasserman noted that PHS students’ concerns last year about racism in town led to a YAC collaboration with Corner House to organize the Stand Against Racism Rally in Hinds Plaza for students and other community members. One of the highlights of the past year for YAC was a presentation called “Middle School Milestones: The Importance of Emotional WellBeing” for John Witherspoon Middle School seventh-graders. It provided information and tips for middle schoolers getting ready for high school. “Through skits and monologues and activities, we taught seventh-graders how to manage their time wisely, declutter their schedules, and maintain a low-stress life,” said Wasserman. “We touched upon how to prioritize education, rest, relationships, and personal time, and how to find a general balance in life while seeking out help from others when needed,” Nammanamanchi added. “This was such a rewarding and important experience for us as we were passing on our knowledge to the future of the town.” Wasserman and Nammanamanchi both mentioned that another high point of the year for YAC was the PHS Alumni Panel, which focused on the arts, bringing back four PHS alumni to speak to the student body. The four artists in different fields talked about how they found success and were able to redefine success in nontraditional ways.
Other memorable projects involved work with the Princeton Civil Rights Commission and with Sustainable Princeton. Plans for next year’s YAC include expanding on their successful programs from this year and focusing particularly on mental health among Princeton youth, according to Nammanamanchi. Leticia Fraga, Council liaison to the YAC, noted that, in talking with YAC members and applicants, “The No. 1 issue, last year and this year, was stress and emotional wellbeing. This is not only stress from academic pressure to excel, but also emotional wellbeing in the world of social media. They have less face-to-face interaction, and social media is impacting our youth, who are viewing life from a perspective that is not real.” Fraga praised the YAC members, a total of 12 students — four each from grades 10, 11, and 12, and emphasized that this is a student-centered organization. “They’re doing great work,” she said. “I am so impressed by them, so hopeful for us that they are the ones leading the way now. They run it. They organize it. They generate the ideas for what they want to do.” The YAC is a diverse group in many ways, but both Fraga and the students mentioned the need to bring in members from the town’s private schools and from the Latinx community. “The most important and valuable aspect of the committee,” said Fraga, “is to provide a perspective for those of us who are implementing policy.
It’s important for us to hear from their perspective what the most important issues are and also ideas about how to tackle those issues and how to reach their peers. We’re living in a different world now.” —Donald Gilpin

No prior experience in a foreign language is required. “Our rising fifth graders are the first cohort of children to have been part of the Dual Language Immersion program since first grade, and I can’t tell you how proud I am to see the success and expansion of this program,” said CP Principal Dineen Gruchacz. “The program has been an amazing academic success story for our district.” The program is open to all students in the district, including those in the Littlebrook, Riverside, and Johnson Park neighborhoods. Busing is provided for any student in the district who wants to attend the DLI program and lives beyond walking distance. Call CP at (609) 806-4230 for more information.

On Mercer Lake in West Windsor on June 3, Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart fourth-grade students successfully launched Soar, a boat they had built by hand over the previous eight months. The project-based learning experience, supported by teachers Meghan Dilmore, Dee Harris, and Drew Schoudel, included many hours of sanding, nailing, constructing, priming, and painting before the maiden voyage. All of the fourth-graders had the opportunity to sail in Soar, and many parents and grandparents were present at the Mercer Lake event to celebrate the students’ accomplishments.

Response to Cohen’s Status Report On Seminary Redevelopment Process
PCTV Has Increased League’s Ability to Educate Voters
To the Editor: I am writing on behalf of the League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area because, with Council’s recent decision to divert for tax relief the cable franchise fees which originally funded Princeton Community TV, voters are losing a significant public service. Since 2010, and at the invitation of George McCollough, executive director of PCTV, the League has collaborated with Princeton TV to videotape and broadcast League forums. We have covered all Princeton mayoral races and Democratic primary races for Princeton Council, the contested races for Princeton Council and School Board, the Mercer County freeholder and county executive race of 2011, the 16th Legislative District races of 2011, 2013, and 2015, and the 12th Congressional races of 2014 and 2016. George McCollough not only videotapes the forums — adjusting the sound and lighting at the various venues and zooming in on the candidates — but he adds a title and introductory information and then places the name and website of the candidates on screen as they speak. In March of this year, I wrote to the mayor and Council about the importance of Princeton Community TV to the League’s mission of informing voters about their candidates. Mayor Lempert kindly assured me that she would find someone else to videotape the League’s forums. But she didn’t say whether the League or municipality would incur fees. The League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area does not have the money to hire a videographer or rent the camera, sound, and lighting equipment needed to videotape, polish, and post its forums. One of our members, trained by George McCollough, can videotape, but the League has relied on PCTV to loan us the equipment needed at the forum itself and to do the polishing and posting at the studio. And who will train future League videographers? It is not as easy to produce a show as Council implies in its argument for terminating funding. Voters want to watch these forums. I’ve received requests for the broadcast schedule before it’s published because some voters are eager to watch a forum with their spouse in the comfort of their TV room. Every year the League’s forums rank either 9 or 10 as the most-watched programs on Princeton TV in October and November. As to the video, we often garner over 2,000 voters watching a given race, and an astounding 5,000 voters viewed, at least in part, the Lempert/Woodbridge mayoral debate. Is it unfair to Princeton that Montgomery can see a 16th Legislative District forum or Lawrence view that of a 12th Congressional? Perhaps. But couldn’t we also frame PCTV’s outreach as a public service beneficial to Princetonians? It has greatly increased the Princeton Area League’s ability to educate voters in municipalities governed by the same elected officials as Princeton. Princeton Community TV has performed a public service to voters since it first suggested broadcasting League forums nine years ago. The loss of PCTV will be devastating to the League’s mission of informing voters about their candidates. CHRYSTAL SCHIVELL Voter Service, League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area Monroe Lane
To the Editor: We take issue with a number of unsubstantiated and inaccurate statements that Mr. Cohen has made. “Recently, a few neighbors came forward to express their dissatisfaction with the current design.” The reality is that almost all neighbors have opposed the scale of the development being out of context with the residential neighborhood and the massive disparity with what would be allowed under current zoning guidelines. “Further benefits to public storm water management and our Affordable Housing Plan are expected if the project moves into the next stage of a Redevelopment Plan.” The contribution to storm water management is as much a function of the impact of mitigating the impact of 180plus people. There is a substantial concern that the level of local traffic will increase significantly. If built as proposed the benefits of reduced short term commuter traffic benefits are more than outweighed by relocating 35 families and 41 children to Princeton from West Windsor. “It is also true that the Redevelopment Statute permits the municipality to require financial contributions in connection with a Redevelopment Plan, an important tool that many municipalities use to benefit the public interest.” The issue in question is that the town has not been clear on the importance and size of financial contributions related to the approval of this project. It is of substantial concern that the current taxpayers of this area are being overridden in terms of their concerns for a short term, one-time contribution to help the fiscal status of Princeton. Mr. Cohen is also involved in negotiating the Affordable Housing settlement and there is an inherent conflict for him to be driving the zoning decision, and negotiating a payment to an affordable housing fund that is directly tied to the density ultimately approved. “In light of recent concerns raised by these letterwriters and others, the Seminary has proposed a hiatus in the ad hoc committee process to allow them to redouble their efforts over the summer to find creative solutions which will satisfy the broadest cross-section of Princeton residents.” It is clear from Mr. Cohen’s last statement that he lacks impartiality and a sense of the interests of the taxpayers of Princeton. His reference to voters and taxpayers as ‘letter-writers’ is simply unforgivable and reflects his dismissive approach in public meetings and his bias toward development over community-sensitive changes that better respect established neighborhoods. At a minimum, to restore confidence in this process, Mr. Cohen should consider stepping down from his role of chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee. His role, negotiating the COAH settlement, creates an inherent conflict. This may jeopardize thoughtful planning and result in a payment from PTS to help the town deal with their obligation, at the expense of neighbors and tax payers. We need a person leading this process that will embrace the genuine feedback from residents and is seen to be impartial, to To the Editor: fairly consider this development proposal from PTS.

Keep the Lights On At Community TV
Town Topics a Princeton tradition!
less you had a wealthy aunt or uncle willing to front you six figures, it was impossible to make a film. After 36 years in print journalism, and being downsized as an editor in 2010, I still wanted to use my skills to make the public aware of cultural issues. PCTV, where I’ve taken professional level classes in video editing, lighting, and documentary production, has enabled me to make numerous short documentaries that have screened at film festivals, arts centers, historical societies, and on the station itself. PCTV provides a community where I can bounce ideas off others and get important feedback, as well as use equipment and seek guidance when needed. George McCollough and Sharyn Murray have infinite patience in helping the legions of producers who come through the door. Some Princeton Council members have claimed that cable access is no longer necessary with YouTube and Vimeo, but that is a false assertion. PCTV provides curation of its programming — unlike media sharing sites, where anyone can put up a video, George and Sharyn hone the programming. Where else can you see an in-depth interview with Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora, or a documentary about a Trenton High School program that provides prenatal education and parenting skills for teen parents, as well as daycare for their offspring, to enable the parents to stay in school and be good parents? Or a short film about how a drama program at ARC Mercer enriches the lives of those with developmental disabilities? And yes, these are not Princeton-centric topics — we’re all connected as part of a larger community. As a Princetonbased journalist, I know Princeton residents are interested in the world around them. Princeton TV has cachet. When you tell subjects that the video will air at PCTV, they are proud to participate. At a time when the business model for traditional journalism is broken, I would argue that PCTV’s model of community cable access — giving training, equipment, and the right to broadcast — is essential for civic dialogue in a democratic society. The current funding formula, which it is paid for by cable franchise fees and doesn’t cost the taxpayer a dime, makes perfect sense. Rather than pull the plug on this asset, let’s celebrate the cultural capital it adds to the region. ILENE DUBE Princeton Junction
Princeton Citizens for PCTV Ask Council Not to Defund
To the Editor: We are about to lose a remarkable public resource that offers viewers the opportunity to comment on issues, events, and news relevant to the community. Princeton Community Television is going to go dark. As a free community access channel that airs programming created locally, PCTV not only offers Princeton residents an outlet to express their views on local issues, but unlike YouTube, the internet and Twitter, provides a physical space where they can meet, collaborate, and organize. It builds community. Media experts George Gerbner (“The Cultivation Theory”), Tim Wu (“The Attention Merchant”) and Philip M. Napoli (“What Happens When Your Local News is Coming from Another State?”) concur that public participation is key to keeping democracy strong. The intent was to offset the power of cable conglomerates that often set the national agenda with little or no oversight. PCTV (originally TV30) was launched in the mid 1980s. Funding was and still is derived from cable companies who are required by law to donate a portion of their revenues (franchise fees) to provide facilities and airtime that allow the public to speak it mind. Franchise fees are part of the cost residents who subscribed to cable television, pay. Until this year, those fees have been used to fund PCTV. According to our mayor, “PCTV is relatively unique.” Why then would you not keep it? In this era of cable-dominated news, the public’s voice has faded. Grassroots community empowerment is needed even more for democracy to thrive. To shut down PCTV, a place that affords face to face collaborative programming, seems counterproductive to this goal. Please tell the town Council to reconsider defunding PCTV.

Nat King Cole at 100 — “To Love and Be Loved in Return”
W
hile the St. Louis Blues were on the way to their first Stanley Cup with Laura Branigan’s “Gloria” as their victory anthem, I was celebrating the centenary of Nat King Cole (1919-1965) with submersive listenings to the 4-CD set, Cool Cole: The King Cole Trio Story. My message for the Blues’ crosstown brothers the St. Louis Cardinals was delivered by repeated playings of Cole’s hit from 75 years ago, “Straighten Up and Fly Right.” I’d convinced myself that the song deserved some credit for the April surge that lifted the Redbirds from the depths to the best record in baseball. Alas, true to the song’s built-in warning, “Cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top,” the Cards cooled way down and blew it, losing every series they played in the unmerry month of May. Nat gave me a message for that, too, in “Lost April,” which played in my mind with a slight change in the lyric, “I thought a single win could lead to heaven, but the month had numbered days, and winning couldn’t last.” In the actual lyric, it’s “kiss” for “win” and “love” that couldn’t last, but the way Nat sings it, there’s more to life than winning and losing, the healing has begun, and life goes sadly smiling on. As a devoted follower of the National Pastime who once lost his voice cheering for his team, Cole knew the bumpy road from high to low, the symbiotic relationship of baseball and the blues. He loved all sports, and having played W.C. Handy in the 1958 biopic The St. Louis Blues, he’d have undoubtedly been delighted when the NHL expansion team from St. Louis was named for Handy’s most famous composition. Welcome to the Neighborhood In 1948, “Lost April” appeared as the B side of the number one hit “Nature Boy,” the song about a “strange enchanted” seer whose message was “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” In August of the same year, as that message was being heard by Americans on radios, phonographs, and juke boxes, east and west, north and south, the singer and his pregnant wife Maria bought a house in Hancock Park, an exclusive allwhite Los Angeles neighborhood. When word got out that the Coles were moving into the community, the realtor who handled the $85,000 sale was theatened with “a serious automobile accident,” a cross was burned on the singer’s lawn, stones were thrown through his windows, his dog was poisoned, and racist signs befouled the front yard. A lawyer representing the neighbors filed an affidavit forbidding the Coles to move into their home because they were not “Christian Caucasians.” The lawyer’s way of alerting the neighborhood to the approaching catastrophe suggests a cartoon of white postwar paranoia: “How would you like it, if you had to come out of your home and see a Negro walking down the street wearing a big wide hat, a zoot suit, a long chain, and yellow shoes?”
There it is, the “Straighten Up and Fly Right” side of the unprecedented dynamic Gary Giddins articulates in Visions of Jazz: “No other performer in history had two such profoundly different public personalities ... the hip and jivey leader of a black jazz combo” and “the eminent crooner” with a predominantly white following. Cole called a press conference to explain his position (“My wife and I like our home very much and we intend to stay there the same as any other American citizen would”), which led to a meeting with the Property Owners Association. When he was told that the people of Hancock Park did not want any “undesirables moving in,” his answer was to promise that if
Who is Aye Guy? Natalie brought her dad back to life in 1991 for a time-and-space-defying duet 40 years after he first recorded “Unforgettable.” In one video, where she appears to conjure her father with one of his signature songs, what’s unforgettable is the vocalist and the voice. The surge of interest in Cole inspired by the spectral duet also led to the general reevaluation of the pianistic genius described in Giddins’s account of the “resurrection” — his “wit and speed, lightning reflexes that hardly ever call attention to his technique but constantly spice his solos, interludes, intros, and codas.” Referring to his “lucidity and swing,” Giddins points out that on
a singer “of wide popularity” as well as “one of the most important jazz pianists of the day,” with his “advanced harmonic concept and impeccable swing.” Among the “disparate piano stylists” influenced by Cole are Bud Powell and Bill Evans, who called Cole “the most underrated jazz pianist in the history of jazz.” The qualities Kirchner attributes to Lester Young — “romantic, poetic, dreaming, urgent, melancholy, humorous, cheerful, aggressive, showing great drive” — are no less applicable to Cole, whose playing redefines “accompaniment.” On the first track, a Young composition called “Back to the Land,” Cole creates a blues and boogie roadhouse ambiance, his solo a song within a song, actually two songs, one solid, strong, and funky, the other playful and sportive. The Abiding Voice The “strange enchanted” truth is that King Cole could never have afforded his castle in Hancock Park had he given his playing priority over his singing. But then I doubt that he had a choice. His voice was him, his spirit, his humanity. What ultimately made him rich and famous and beloved was his abiding presence, the way he seemed to live a song beyond merely performing it. No matter how old you were, he spoke to you as a thoughtful, caring companion, which meant a lot if you happened to be a teenager eating your heart out over a failed romance or the death of a pet or not making the football team. It finally beggars all the ironies and idiocies of racial prejudice that this “undesirable” neighbor is the same familiar household spirit singing hearthside holiday lullabies like “Christmas Song” to families who loved the voice and wanted nothing to do with the man. o wonder I only had room for Cole the singer in those days, having grown up in a house haunted by “Nature Boy,” which my parents played constantly, and sometimes even “Lost April,” thanks no doubt to my more-bluethan-not mother’s sentimental susceptibility to a song about the month of her birth. To be honest, I didn’t actually connect “Lost April” with the Cardinals’ losing streak (at the moment they seem to be flying again) until I listened to it a few days ago on the Bose Wave and was undone by one of those heart-turning-over phrasings where the “numbered days” of April coalesce with the aching resolution of “So when they passed,” simple words lighting the way to “I lost love and you, and April, too.” There’s enough enlightened melancholy in that sublime interval to mend broken hearts everywhere. —Stuart Mitchner The quotes about Hancock Park are from “When Nat King Cole Moved In” by Hadley Meares; the Dec. 20, 2018 article, which includes photographs by Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin, can be found at la.curbed.com. I found the CD set, like all good things, at the Princeton Record Exchange.

he saw any undesirables moving in, he’d be the first to complain. Five children were raised in the house on Muirfield Road, including the singer Natalie Cole (1950-2015), who told the Wall Street Journal, “I loved growing up there ... I loved when my dad was home. He liked to sit in the living room and watch boxing and baseball on TV.” According to Cole’s biographer Marianne Ruuth, in time the same residents who had been “up in arms were bragging about having Nat King Cole for a neighbor.” He lived in the house until his death in 1965, Maria remained there until the early 1970s. In 2003 the residents of Hancock Park named the local postal branch the Nat King Cole Post Office at a ceremony attended by his daughters Carole and Natalie, who thinks her father “would be flabbergasted and probably pleased.” She remembers people “putting firecrackers in our rose bushes” and “a burning cross on our yard” as late as the 1950s.
“practically every one of those relatively rare occasions in which he performed with major jazz soloists, he stole the limelight.” One of those rare occasions was the April 1946 trio session with Lester Young and Buddy Rich, which is what made me want to write about Cole as a pianist long before I realized it was his centenary. David Stone Martin’s striking red and yellow Leaning Tower of Pisa cover design caught my eye back in the era of 10-inch LPs when jazz was a new world for a 14-year-old to explore. When I picked up the record in those adolescent days and saw “Aye Guy” listed as the pianist, I thought a player by that name actually existed and may have gone around asking “Who’s Aye Guy” until someone older and wiser put me right. In 1946, the man disguised as Aye Guy was more famous than Lester Young, as Bill Kirchner points out in his liner notes for the 1994 CD reissue, where Cole is a “musician’s favorite” like Young, and

Princeton Symphonic Brass Presents Evening of Latin Music
here is a relatively new performing ensemble in Princeton focusing on repertoire for a specific set of instruments. Founded in 2016, Princeton Symphonic Brass draws players from other area ensembles to explore music written specifically for brass instruments — horn, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, and tuba. This past Saturday night, Princeton Symphonic Brass presented a concert of “City Lights, Latin Nights” in the recently renovated Hillman Performance Hall at Westminster Choir College. Led by conductor Lawrence Kursar, the 11 brass and two percussion players of Symphonic Brass performed to an appreciative audience and showed some fancy footwork on instruments often performing from deep in the background of an orchestra. Dressed casually and sitting in a semi-circle in the hall, the members of the ensemble created an informal performance atmosphere which did not detract from achieving high technical standards. Most of the works performed Saturday night were pieces for other instrumental combinations arranged for brass ensemble, giving the audience the chance to hear familiar or new repertoire with different orchestral colors. The program explored music of Latin American composers, as well as a few American works reflecting Spanish flavor or influence. Symphonic Brass opened the program with an iconic fanfare tailor-made for brass — Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, composed as a concert season-opener in World War II and arranged for this group by trumpet member Ed Hirschman. The four trumpets of the ensemble were well blended and rhythmically precise, presenting a clean dialog between upper and lower brass. The other major American work on the program was George Gershwin’s one-movement An American in Paris, arranged for brass by Michael Allen. The ensemble began the piece lightly, with exact playing from percussionists Todd Nichols and Mark Bencivengo helping to capture Gershwin’s musical cityscape. A saucy middle section featured crisp trumpet solos by Hirschman and Charlie Megules. The four trumpeters of Symphonic Brass each performed on multiple instruments, creating varying musical effects

and palettes. Use of the standard trumpet in Bb, cornet, and piccolo-like high trumpet added diverse colors to the music, especially to the “toreador” character of certain works. The bullfighter atmosphere particularly came to life in Georges Bizet’s “Aragonaise” from the opera Carmen, as well as Anthony DiLorenzo’s The Blade of Spain. The Bizet excerpt was marked by Megules’ solo trumpet playing and precise tambourine rhythms from Bencivengo. DiLorenzo’s work showed quick and clean playing from both Megules and fellow trumpeter Brian Woodward. The Latin American works performed depicted Mexico and Spain, capturing several dance forms. The tango was the most recognizable, heard in two excerpts from Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla’s Tango Suite. Both of these short pieces were highlighted by muted trumpets, with slinky passages played by Hirschman and a rich euphonium melody played by Ray Henricksen. The Cuban danzón was depicted in Jeremy Van Hoy’s arrangement of Danzón #2 of Mexican composer Arturo Márquez. Led by trombonist Lars Wendt, the dance theme was answered by Megules on high trumpet, with the full ensemble well unified in the syncopated rhythms and musical transitions. This piece also showed a great deal of musical individuality among the players. The Mexican waltz could be heard in Felipe Villanueva’s Vals Poético, arranged by Symphonic Brass horn player Craig Levesque. Led by euphonium soloist Henricksen, the musical material was also well conveyed by the horn and trumpet sections. Throughout the piece, Symphonic Brass maintained the European waltz roots of Villanueva’s music. rinceton Symphonic Brass has only been performing in the area for a handful of years, but the organization has built a loyal following. Although the space at Hillman Hall was almost too resonant at times for an ensemble of brass instruments playing at top volume, Princeton Symphonic Brass seems to have found a good home at Westminster Choir College with fans who appreciate the power of brass. —Nancy Plum

Princeton Summer Theater Stonewall. The first act, set Because its two acts were in 1979 and written in 1981, written a decade apart, FalStarts with “Falsettos”
As the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising brings the state of LGBTQ+ rights in America to the forefront of the national conversation, Princeton Summer Theater (PST) will open its 2019 Season on June 20 with William Finn and James Lapine’s Falsettos, directed by PST Artistic Director Daniel Krane. A reworking of two earlier one-act musicals by Finn, Falsettos begins a decade after
chronicles the shifts in family dynamics that arise after New Yorker Marvin (Michael Rosas) leaves his wife Trina (Bridget McNiff) for another man (Whizzer, played by Dylan Blau Edelstein). This turmoil develops into something darker in the second act, written in 1991, which skips forward two years and finds the play’s characters unwittingly facing the beginnings of the 1980s AIDS crisis.
settos captures the epidemic’s sudden and devastating spread while remaining true to its charming, flawed, and compassionately-drawn cast of characters. Uniting both acts is a score by Musical Director Amber Lin. Despite Falsettos’ deep roots in the late seventies and early eighties, many of its conflicts, from divorced parents fighting over a child’s coming-of-age celebration to

Documentary on Cartoonist at ACME
On Saturday, June 22 at 6 p.m., Lambertville’s ACME Screening Room presents the documentary Mr. Fish: Cartooning From The Deep End. The feature explores the cartoonist Mr. Fish, struggling to make a living in an industry that is dying out. Editors previously willing to back controversial work are disappearing as fast as the newspapers which once employed him. In a world where consumerism is king and opportunities are few, will this uncensored artist find a way to sell his art, or be forced to sell himself out? Dwayne Booth, aka Mr. Fish, is a punk rock artist, a man who still has the vibrant energy of a rebellious teenager. But he’s also a middle-aged, married father of two with bills to pay and commitments to keep. Booth will answer questions after the screening, and sign books. The event is followed by dinner with Booth at the Lambertville House. Ad m is sion is $10 - $15 for the film and questionand-answer session ; $50 with dinner. Visit www.acmescreeningroom.org.

“The Immigrant Experience” Exhibit at Trent House
“DENVER CENTRAL LIBRARY, SOUTH FAÇADE”: This graphite and colored pencil drawing by the late architect and designer Michael Graves is one of nearly 5,000 recently acquired by the Princeton University Art Museum. Graves founded his eponymous practice in Princeton in 1964, and taught architecture at Princeton University for 39 years, retiring in 2001.
PU Art Museum Acquires ing opportunities around look by combining pigments, Graves’s enormously robust fluids, and additives to proGraves Drawings
The Princeton University Art Museum recently acquired a significant group of drawings by renowned A m er ic a n arch itec t a nd designer Michael Graves (1934-2015). The nearly 5,000 drawings, which come to the Museum from Graves’s estate, span the entire range of his subject matter and design concerns, and will form an important resource for researchers, designers, and Museu m audiences. Graves founded his eponymous practice in Princeton in 1964 and taught architecture at Princeton University for 39 years, retiring as the Robert Schirmer Professor of Architecture Emeritus in 2001. “We are pleased to be able to preserve and share these important drawings, which document numerous projects and reflect Michael Graves’s manifold interests and talents, here at the Museum, where he was known as family, and with our global audiences,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher– David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director. All of the drawings that will come to Princeton — which were variously executed in pen and ink, charcoal, graphite, colored pencil, watercolor, and pastel — are in Graves’s own hand. There are draw ings of historic monuments from his 1960s fellowship at the American Academy in Rome, pencil and ink referential drawings in sketchbooks, quick iterative design studies on yellow tracing paper, and meticulously colored building elevations. Together, the drawings in the collection form the essential visual archive of Graves’s work, revealing both his classical training and his commitment to draftsmanship — something Graves advocated for strongly in his teaching. “As a prolific artist, architect, and practitioner, Michael Graves considered drawing to be the foundation of his creative output,” said Sylvia Lavin, professor, history and theory of architecture, at Princeton University and a leading scholar of Graves’s work. “This corpus of work that will now reside at the Museum will facilitate rich research and teach-
legacy.” Graves is known worldwide for his innovative and transformative postmodern design of a vast range of large-scale architectural projects, interiors, consumer products (including his famous Alessi “whistling bird” kettle), and master plans for a global array of public and private clients. Graves also left his creative mark on Princeton, including at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts on the corner of Witherspoon Street, completed in 2008, and at his former residence, The Warehouse, described by Steward as “Michael’s Monticello, the ongoing focus and forum for his innovation.” Like many 20 t h - c e nt u r y a r ch ite c t s who designed furniture and household objects as well as homes and other buildings, Graves believed that good design should find its way into everyday life and be available for consumers at all price levels. Architecture critic Paul Goldberger called Graves “truly the most original voice in American architecture.” As Graves himself wrote, in a 2012 opinion piece for the New York Times titled “Architecture and the Lost Art of Drawing”: “Architecture cannot divorce itself from drawing, no matter how impressive the technology gets. Drawings are not just end products: they are part of the thought process of architectural design. Drawings express the interaction of our minds, eyes, and hands.” The Princeton University Art Museum is located at the heart of the Princeton campus. Admission is free.

A r tists Fran Eber and Robert J. Vanderbei, whose works are on display on the Princeton Public Library’s second floor, will give a talk about their work Monday, June 24.

The Trent House Association will present a sculpture exhibit, “The Immigrant Experience,” on the grounds of the 1719 William Trent House Museum, 15 Market Street, Trenton. It will be on view June 22 through November 3, with a reception open to the public on June 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. According to the Association, once settlers from across the ocean began to inhabit the lands of the Lenape on the banks of the Delaware, Trenton has been home to immigrants — both to those who came here willingly, seeking jobs and opportunity for a better life, and to those who came under duress. The William Trent House, its inhabitants, its surroundings, and its circumstances represent that history.

“BEST MOUNTAIN, COMMUNE, GUILIN”: This brush painting by Thomas George is just one of his works on display at the Princeton Public Library through June 30 in conjunction with the Princeton Festival’s modern opera “Nixon in China.” The paintings will also be shown in the lobby of the Matthews Theatre in the McCarter Theatre Center during performances of the opera on June 23 and 30.
Chinese Landscapes at “New Jersey Trees” Princeton Public Library Student Art Exhibit The Princeton Public Library, in collaboration with the Princeton Festival, is hosting a display of paintings of scenes in China by Thomas George (1918-2014). The internationally-celebrated artist and Princeton resident created the brush paintings in the wake of the opening of U.S. relations with that country by President Nixon in 1972. The paintings are on loan from the artist’s son, Princeton resident John George, as a corollary to the Princeton Festival production of the modern opera Nixon in China. The opera will be performed at 3 p.m. on June 23 and 30 in the Matthews Theatre in the McCarter Theatre Center, 91 University Place, Princeton, and the paintings will be shown in the theater lobby on each day of performance. “These are wonderful, evocative works that might never have been created without the renewal of relations between China and the U.S. depicted in the opera,” said Richard Tang Yuk, general and artistic director of the Festival. “We are grateful to John George for sharing a selection of his father’s China paintings with us and our audience.” Richard Tang Yuk also conducts the opera.

D & R G r e e n w ay L a n d Trust’s Olivia Rainbow Gallery now presents the work of Princeton Junior School artists in “New Jersey Trees.” The New Jersey Tree Quilt, crafted by master quilter Gail Mitchell for her English As a Second Language (ESL) students, inspired Pre-K through fifth-graders to create their own interpretations of state trees. From the skeletal to the fully leafed-out, vivid evocations of trees special to New Jersey adorn the gallery walls. Princeton Junior School’s Art Studio students tend three pet snails, and sprightly, colorful snail portraits are also interspersed with highly individualistic trees of all seasons. The Olivia Rainbow Gallery was founded and is funded in memory of 5-year-old Olivia Kuenne, who would have begun kindergarten at Princeton Junior School on the day of her memorial service. Having attended that school’s pre-kindergarten, a gallery in this young nature artist’s name also graces Princeton Junior School. The purpose of D&R Greenway’s Gallery is to keep alive Olivia’s spirit and love of nature and art. The gallery’s mission is to inspire preservationists of the future, as they study and draw and paint the nature that surrounds us.

A Wonderful Array of Plants for All Seasons Is Available at Green Haven Garden Center
A
gorgeous display of floral splendor awaits visitors to Green Haven Garden Center. Located at 1181 Hughes Drive in Hamilton, Green Haven is a complete gardening resource. Not only does it offer a full range of plants, shrubs, and selected trees, including unusual varieties, it also provides workshops to help customers learn how to make the most of their gardens.
IT’S NEW To Us
As owner Carol Thomas points out, “We don’t necessarily focus on the product, but on the person. We ask what the customers want, where they will plant it, etc. If they are new to the area or from another country, they may not know what grows well here. We help guide the customer with help and advice.” Like the garden center, Thomas’ background is filled with fascinating variety. Not only does she have a background in horticulture and landscape architecture, having studied at Rutgers, she also has a master’s degree in language arts, and taught at the Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart. Avid Gardeners Horticulture has always been a passion for Thomas no matter what other interests she was pursuing, however, and her enthusiasm for it began at an early age. “My mother and grandmothers were all avid gardeners,” she explains. “My mother set me up with my own garden plot when I was a little girl, and I loved it.” Now that she has her own garden center, she is delighted to share her passion with customers. They come from all over the Princeton area, are all ages, and range from
knowledgeable gardeners to novices. “We help people to create their own haven,” says Thomas. “It could be a porch or patio, window box, or a large garden. We can also help with landscape design. We tend to specialize in unusual plants and also container gardens, hanging baskets, and planters on terraces. Even if you have a small space, you can still have a beautiful garden. “People are always concerned about maintenance, whether plants should be in sun or shade, and how often they should be watered,” she continues. “Watering depends on a lot of things. For example, the weather, and also the wind. If it is windy, it can dry out the plants.” Green Haven offers classes and workshops to help people with their gardening questions, she adds. “We have gardening 101 classes with information on how to prune, how to plant, and how to mulch, among others. Regarding mulch, we constantly tell people, ’Not a volcano!’ T he mulch should be a hands-width from the tree trunk and only a thin layer. Too much can create excess moisture and lead to bacteria and insect infestation.” Deer-Resistant Other classes focus on planting for multi-seasonal interest, learning about annuals and perennials, planting bulbs in the fall, pollinators, and other helpful gardening information. Indigenous plants have become a concern for many gardeners, reports Thomas, and as she notes, “If plants are acclimated to their surroundings, they will do better. They have evolved to cope with the environment they are in. We can give customers a list of native plants, and we can also provide a list of deer-resistant plants. Among them are marigolds, Siberian iris, peonies, hardy hibiscus, clematis, and lavender. Deer resistant shrubs include box-
wood, false cypress, spirea, and weigela. Plants that attract pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, are important, she explains, and they include milkweed (butterflies) and lavender (bees). Hummingbirds are drawn to the color red. Green Haven has a pollinator display section, designed with plants especially attractive to pollinators. In fact, the displays are all designed to help customers as they look for specific items. Pictures of plants with explanatory information about sun and shade preferences, size, etc. are all available, and displays are focused on color, perennials, annuals, sun and shade, deer resistance, and other designations In addition, there is a special herb and vegetable section. “Our ‘food court’ contains our herbs and vegetables,” explains Thomas. “Basil is super popular, also tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and lettuce. In addition, parsley and oregano attract the pollinators.” Knockout Roses “This is a good time to plant anything,” she adds, “except bulbs, which are planted in the fall. Right now, people want the annuals, including impatiens, geraniums, begonias, and petunias — we also have million bells, which are petite petunias, and we now have mildew-resistant impatiens.” Also popular are azaleas, rhododendrons, and hydrangea, and knockout roses, which are available at Green Haven in hard-to-find yellow. Perennials, such as yarrow, columbine, forget-me-nots, peonies, phlox, salvia, and hollyhocks are all favorites, too, as are Shasta daisies, lavender, and iris. Making sure the soil is in the best condition to support the healthy growth of the plants is crucial, and Green Haven
VISUAL SPLENDOR: “Gardening can be a stress release. It provides exercise, fresh air, and you are creating something beautiful now and beautiful over time. Even if it’s on a small scale — just a terrace or window box, it will enhance the space. It’s therapeutic, it’s fun, and you’re creating beauty.” Carol Thomas, owner of Green Haven Garden Center in Hamilton, is shown amid a colorful display of knockout roses. offers special products. “We have organic compost to help the soil texture, depending on the condition, if it’s too sandy or has too much clay,” points out Thomas. “We also have organic fertilizer and organic mulch.” Something Different “We tend to be set apart because we offer unusual plants,” says Thomas. “We try to get something different. For example, we have Hort Couture Canary Wings begonias and Dragon Wings begonias from Peace Tree Farm in Pennsylvania. In addition, we offer Hort Couture canna lilies and Sea Urchin Red coleus, which you will not find everywhere.” Another way in which Green Haven is set apart is its association with Bower & Branch, a Pennsylvania grower, focusing on sustainability. “We are a Bower & Branch affiliate and the only one in the area,” says Thomas. “This is a partnership of growers and garden centers. Customers can shop online, make a selection, and then buy it at the garden center. They can come here to get it or we will deliver.
“By going online, when you select the plant, you can then find all the information about it, and if you have further questions, you can consult the ‘Plant Whisperer,’ who will help you with advice and suggestions. This is a perfect match of the natural world and the technological world.” Visually Appealing Green Haven can also help people create gardens with multi-seasonal interest, so there is always something visually appealing. And it’s not only the flowers — it can be plants with interesting bark, berries, or intriguing textures. Thomas also offers onehour coaching sessions at the customer’s home (within a 10-mile radius). “For $50, I’ll come to your house, and give advice on whatever help you need. We can teach you how to prune, fertilize, water, divide and relocate plants, etc. We can also help to identify the insects, disease or condition that is ailing your plants, and suggest appropriate treatment.” Thomas is a member of the American Horticultural Society, New Jersey Nursery & Landscape Association,
Philadelphia Horticultural Society, and Perennial Plants Association. Green Haven offers a selected collection of garden tools and ornaments, as well as a variety of garden-related artwork from area artists. Assorted pottery planters in bird and animal designs will intrigue adults and children alike. Carol Thomas is pleased that many customers have become regulars, and she offers thanks to them in special ways. “We have water for people and the pets they bring, and we offer dog biscuits. Every child receives a flower, and we also have a changing table for babies. “It’s wonderful having people come in and say ‘It is so beautiful here.’ They say that the display gardens are so beautiful it makes them feel good. I couldn’t be happier about that.” Green Haven Garden Center is open seven days, Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (609) 584-6930.

But Hughes knew he had to be innovative this spring as he guided the Princeton men’s heavyweight crew, with the Tigers having graduated a number of key seniors and thereby breaking new faces into the lineup. “It was an interesting year for me,” said Hughes, a former Princeton lightweight star rower who started as the coach for the Tiger freshman heavyweight crew before guiding the men’s lightweight program from 2006-09 and then taking the helm of the heavyweights in 2010. “It was my 22nd year of coaching and what is so cool for me is to realize that you are still seeing new things and still learning. This was definitely one of those years.” The key focus this spring for Hughes was to learn the best ways to get this group of rowers on the same page. “Rowing is a special sport because you have to put nine people into that boat and they have to work together,” said Hughes. “It has to mesh, you are going to have different personalities and different racing profiles, where some are stronger in the race and where somebody else is stronger. The assets have to all contribute to the whole and everybody has to be willing to recognize that. It needs to be selfless, that is a big ask.” The Princeton crews
meshed at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta earlier this month on Lake Natoma in Gold River, Calif. All four of the Tiger top boats made their grand finals at the event with the varsity eight and second varsity eight both placing sixth, the third varsity eight taking fourth, and the varsity four placing third. Coming into the regatta, Princeton benefited from getting a week of intensive training at the University of California boathouse before heading down the coast. “It is such a cool spot, it is a reservoir up in the Berkeley Hills,” said Hughes. “It is just perfect; we just had this gorgeous place all to ourselves. You have this total focus. The guys are relaxed. They get to actually spend some time hanging out with each other.” That preparation resulted in each of the boats hanging in there on the way to the grand final. “I feel like across the board, the team raced really well at the IRAs and I was very proud of the results,” said Hughes, whose squad placed fifth in the Ten Eyck Team Trophy standings for the second straight season, scoring 162 points. “We knew going in, that we were going to have to fire on all cylinders to make the finals in those events and we achieved that goal. We were the only team from the East Coast that put boats in all four finals, Cal and Washington were the other two. That is a big deal for us.” While only one of the
Princeton boats made it to the medal stand, the rowers relished testing themselves against the best. “We knew to go and have a run at the very top end was going to take our absolute perfect race and maybe some mistakes from some of the others,” said Hughes, reflecting in the competition which saw Yale win the varsity eight, Cal take first in the 2V, and Washington posting victories in both the 3V and the V4. “Those boats raced well, we saw their best races at the national championship and that is where we were this year. We got our best races, which was great. You saw that we were in that mix that was a big push for those guys.” The varsity eight got a good push from two freshmen, James Quinlan, a native of Ireland, and Charlie Miller, who hails from Australia. “They stepped up beyond their years, it was awesome to see,” said Hughes. “They were mature, levelheaded kids. As we were moving through the season, they were progressing really well and both were invited to their respective U23 camps and they are 19 year olds. They have done an amazing job. I knew they were good but my expectations weren’t that they were going to walk into the door and be immediate varsity eight rowers. I would not hold them to that standard. They just totally did it; they were super consistent and just awesome kids.” Senior captain Andrew Morgan played a key role in

(Photo provided courtesy of Princeton’s Office of Athletic Communications) helping the team maintain a consistent effort throughout the season. “He fought his way up through the ranks during the season; he was on the 4V for a race or two, fought his way up into the 3V, and then finished Eastern Sprints and IRAs in the 2V,” said Hughes. “He isn’t a big guy, he is probably 6’0, 170 pounds, but he is a really scrappy competitor. That was his leadership style — to come in and lead by example and give more than might be physically possible. He pushed that edge every single day and he was a good motivator. He was able to sniff out those workouts, or those days or individual pieces where we might be on the ropes and rally the squad.That played a really important factor in us being able to meet the potential that we had.” Morgan’s approach exemplified the mindset that helped the Tigers get the most out of their potential. “There are no superstars
in rowing and I think this year was the year that really proved that,” said Hughes. “We didn’t have anywhere near the horsepower on the ERG that we had last year. The 2018 average was 5:52 for our varsity eight and this past year it was 6:02 and yet they were putting up speeds that were comparable.” In the view of Hughes, his rowers haven’t reached their ceiling despite their admirable efforts this spring. “While we can look at it and say we tapped the potential that we had, we need to recognize that there is still more to gain,” noted Hughes. “We know what is going on at places like Yale, Harvard, Washington, and Cal. There is an upper end there that we know we want to go and compete against. There is work for us to do and the summer time is the time you can start getting to work on that. You can’t be satisfied with how it finished and then step back and say we have got to catch our breath and go and relax
for two months. It is a long time.” Making the most of their time this summer will help the Tigers do better against the upper echelon of college rowing. “We do a challenge with the team, shooting for a million meters on the ergometer over the summer,” said Hughes. “It sounds like a massive number, but then when you go and do the math, it is 8,000-10,000 meters a day five days a week. That is like a 40-minute effort. What we know about rowing is that it does require some aerobic base fitness and that is something we can really work on in the summer. Rowing rewards steady, consistent work. It does not reward people who just have amazing skill that they can pull out at the last minute. You have to be fit enough to get yourself into a position in a race where you can use that skill. If you are not fit, you aren’t going to be able to use it.” —Bill Alden

At Woodwinds, we can help create a better soil and growing condition for your trees. Virtually all of our products are based on natural, biological technologies that promote the health and long-term survivability of plants. Over time, they can recharge soils and build stronger tree root systems.
While the Princeton High b a s e b a l l te a m s t u n n e d many when it edged second-seeded Hamilton 1-0 in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament this spring, Dom Capuano wasn’t surprised. “That game was awesome; for whatever reason, I had confidence going into that game. I said to them before the game, ‘I have never believed in you more at this point,’” said first-year head coach Capuano, whose team was seeded 15th in the MCT and went on to fall to 10thseeded Lawrence High in the quarterfinals. “That was based on where we were trending and how we played against them the first time and obviously with Ben [Amon] on the mound that makes a world of difference. It was pretty nervewracking from start to finish. We pushed across a run and then we hung on.” After a rocky start this spring, PHS made a strong final push. “We finished 9-13 and we were 3-11 at one point. So we won six out of eight to end the year,” said Capuano. “You are never going to be upset with that. I have also said to everybody who is going to be back next year that our season ended a little earlier than we all know it should have and that is on us. It was definitely a good thing for the program to end like that because I think it does give everybody a taste of what we need to do in the offseason to get better.” Senior standout Amon did some very good things in his final campaign. “Ben threw 32 straight shutout innings to end the ye ar,” s a id C apua no of Amon, who is heading to
The College of New Jersey where he will play for its baseball program. “His first game was OK, his second game got a little better, and then from the end of the second game to the end of the year, he didn’t give up a run. It is funny because Hamilton West was his first win; he had 10 strikeouts in that game.” The squad’s crew of seniors — Teddy Durbin, Owen Seals, Eli Okoye, Tommy Reid, and Amon — gave PHS a winning mentality. “They are going to be pretty hard to replace; the senior class really did a good job of helping us this year,” said Capuano. “Ben is going to be extremely difficult to replace on the mound. Not having Teddy on the mound definitely hurt, but he was a constant in the top of the lineup so that is going to be missed. Owen led the team in batting average; he beat Eli by two points. When you look at every other statistical category, Eli was our guy this year; he did a lot of good things for us. Tom is like a Swiss Army knife, you can put him anywhere in the field and he will play well. You can put him anywhere in the lineup and he does what that role needed. Hopefully the juniors and sophomores took notice and can elevate their games to where our seniors were this year.” Capuano will be looking to sophomore Tommy Delany, junior Gautam Chawla, junior Jason Ramirez, junior Aiden Regan, and junior Judd Petrone to step into those shoes. “Tommy is only going to be a junior but he going to be a third year varsity player, which puts him in a class by himself,” said Capuano.
“We are going to look for Chawla to be like Tommy Reid where we can put him around the field and he is going to help everybody else around him. We are going to look for Ramirez to really lead us on the pitching staff. Aiden had a tremendous year as far as his first season on varsity. If we are going to be as successful next year as I want, he is going to have to be a big part of that. He was pretty much an everyday player down the stretch; he is somebody who is going to really need to be important for us. Judd is another key guy; he is probably going to take over for Tommy [Reid] in center field. I am hoping he will be controlling the outfield, be a top of the order guy to get on base and set the table.” At catcher, freshman Carl Birge made an important contribution. “Carl did a great job this year behind the plate,” said Capuano. “Offensively, we really want him to take the next step next year. He will be a sophomore who has a full year of varsity. He and Tommy Delany are both a little bit more elevated than their class.” In reflecting on his debut campaign at the helm of the program, Capuano gained some lessons he plans to apply next year. “It was a good first year; I walked into a program that was good to be around,” said Capuano. “It was a lot of learning. We lost eight games in a row and you learn something about yourself as a coach, figuring it out during the season. There are some things strategically that we are going to have to talk about and we are going to start working out and doing things earlier.” —Bill Alden

Hun Softball Displayed Fighting Spirit, Posting 9-6 Record, Making Prep A Semis Trailing by two runs heading into its last at-bat in the state Prep A semifinals, the Hun School softball team wasn’t about to throw in the towel as it played archival Lawrenceville School. Hun rallied for two runs in the contest at Lawrenceville to tie the game at 5-5 and force extra innings. Although the Raiders ended up losing 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth in the May 15 contest, Kathy Quirk had no qualms with the effort she got from her players. “It was a really well-played game,” said Hun head coach Quirk. “We tied the game up in the seventh and we kept plugging away.” Quirk was not surprised by her squad’s resilience. “We had good leaders. I have always told them, it is not just the wins and losses, it is how you play and how you handle yourself,” said Quirk, whose team ended the 2019 season with a 9-6 record. “It starts in the team room with your dedication and desire. I think that is the most important part of everything - coming out ready to play.” Showing dedication and desire, Hun didn’t back dow n against t wo of its strongest foes. “If you look at our record,
we were 9-6 and five of the losses were to the same two teams, Lawrenceville and Blair,” said Quirk. “E ach t ime we played them we got better. The first time Lawrenceville beat us 7-0 and then we lost 4-3 and lost 6-5. It was the same thing with Blair, we lost 6-0 and then the second time it was 5-3, two pitches won that game for them.” The team’s trio of seniors, E r i n H a r r i g a n, M e g h a n Donohue, and Mary Catherine Shea, made the most out of their time with the program. “All three of them are going to be missed,” said Quirk. “Erin did a great job on the mound; she came to Hun two years ago as a transfer and bought into the program. Meghan and MC were fouryear starters. They never missed a game or a practice in four years, that says something about their intensity and desire. Meghan was a quiet leader and MC was a little more vocal. Meghan always led by example; she was a good hitter for us.” Going forward, Quirk will be looking for junior stars, shortstop Gigi Venizelos and center fielder Abby Zucatti, to lead the way next spring “Gigi and Abby are two
special players; they really know the game,” asser ted Quirk of the pair, who served as team captains this spring along with Donohue and Shea. “I say they are like two peas in a pod, one is infield, one is outfield. They both make things happen. They are both not only good defensive players but their bats come alive. When Gigi starts a game with a hit, it is contagious. I am looking forward to their leadership again next year. We are going to be a little young.” The Raiders boast a core of young talent in junior Jackie Drozd, sophomore Hannah Babushak, freshman Katie Angelini, freshman Nora Shea, and freshman Alexis Murdock. “We have good returners, we have Jackie who has been a starter in left field and does her job,” said Quirk. “We have Hannah as the catcher. Katie came in as a second basemen and really did a nice job. Nora hit well. We have a young pitcher coming back in Alexis.” In Quirk’s view, the returners will be hungry to turn the tables on their rivals when they get the chance. “We left unfinished business and they know that,” said Quirk. “We need to work out in the offseason to be successful next year.” —Bill Alden
PDS Softball Enjoys Competitive Campaign In Coach Lano’s Swan Song with Program Paul Lano made a promise when he took the helm of the Princeton Day School softball team in 2012. “When I came into the program they only had eight players the year before, they had to borrow a player from Stuart Country Day to play games so they were really struggling,” said PDS head coach Lano. “I came to the athletic department and said give me a year or so and I will build it back up. I will get players to come out and play. I had 15, 17 players at times. I was able to build the program back up to where it needs to be in order to become relevant.” With this spring turning out to be Lano’s swan song as he will be leaving PDS to become the assistant coach of t h e Ru tg e r s - C a m d e n women’s volleyball team, his final Panther squad lived up to his word, producing some competitive play with a mix of promising newcomers and senior stalwarts. “What we saw progress in was the newcomers to the team, they were very impressive,” said Lano, whose team went 2-8 this spring. “It was just fun to watch these new kids come into the game and embrace the d if f icu lt ie s and manage them well.” Freshmen Courtney Richter and Veronica Vogelman made a lot of progress as they took up softball. “Cour tney and Ronnie were both able to hit the ball as freshmen; that is a rarity, especially when both of them are new to the game,” said Lano. “They were just going off of what they learned immediately. Cour tney had more than one multiple hit game. She also played second base, third, first and outfield. She was willing to play anywhere we needed her. Ronnie never ceases to amaze me; I just knew that she was hearing and understanding everything I was telling her about hitting. She
was able to put it into action and get results. She was also the first switch hitter in PDS softball history; she got hits from both side of the plate.” With the graduation of senior stalwart Julie Patterson, the Panthers are losing one of the best players in their history. “Julie is a pillar of the program; she has been the best player on this team all four years because of her experience and the position she plays,” said Lano, noting that Patterson is heading to Wilkes University where she will be playing for its women’s hockey program. “She is the best catcher I have seen come through there at PDS. There is no debate about Julie’s value and contribution. You never really understand the value of water until the well is dry. When you don’t have a really good catcher, you don’t know what you are doing without and then when you have one, you know you have it good. Julie had a nice hitting streak too, I think she got a hit in every game she played this year.” Another senior, Elisabeth Berman, has made a big contribution over the last four years. “Elisabeth is terribly special to me; she is an incredible person, player, kid, student athlete, and contributor,” said Lano. “We just completed seven seasons together because she has played volleyball for me for three years. She will always do what she is asked to do. In those first two years, Elisabeth’s value was unmeasured, As a freshman she stepped into that circle because we had no one else to pitch. She had to do the pitching and even though she didn’t love that, she did it for the team. For her junior year, another pitcher came in Gia Massari, but she was only with us for one year. This year Elisabeth came in to close the games out and did a terrific job. She was the shortstop when
she wasn’t pitching.” Senior Brooke Smukler, a soccer and basketball star, emerged as a solid performer in the circle for the Panthers. “Brooke basically carried us these last two years pitching, what an amazing job she did with the minimal amount of work put in,” said Lano, noting that Smukler is busy the rest of the year with her other sports. “I was impressed w ith what she was able to do last year, finally getting over some injuries and having a pitching coach, Angela Parascando, work with her through the preseason. She showed me stuff I didn’t really expect from her. This year, she even got better.” PDS boasted an unsung hero with the right stuff in senior Hailey Young. “The thing about Hailey is that she is the poster child for how to be a good student athlete; she is wonderful,” said Lano. “She never let us down in anything. She is always the first one to practice and the last to leave. She always made sure that the player chores were completed and would do them herself when they weren’t. The last two seasons, she served as a co-captain with Julie. Hailey played multiple positions for us. She was basically our center fielder and she would become the shortstop when Elisabeth pitched. Then we figured out that Ronnie could play the outfield fairly well so we moved Hailey to first base.” While Lano is excited to move on to college volleyball, it was tough for him to leave the student-athletes he coached at PDS. “I am back at the college level. I never thought I was going to get another shot and I feel very fortunate that I did,” said Lano, who previously coached the Rider University women’s volleyball team. “It is the second college volleyball opportunity I have gotten and I am looking forward to it. I feel very lucky; it is the only thing that would pull me away from PDS.” —Bill Alden

When Kevin Durant joined the Golden State Warriors in 2016, it helped transform a title-winning club into an NBA dynasty. Jordan Glover, a former standout for The College of New Jersey, is looking to have a similar impact this year in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League. After playing for Majeski Foundation, the TCNJ men’s hoops entry in the league, the recently graduated Glover has joined Loyaltees, the summer league’s defending champion. L ast Monday evening, Glover helped make the difference as Loyaltees pulled out a 62-57 win over Sakana in opening night action at John Witherspoon Middle School, draining some key buckets on the way to scoring 14 points on the evening. For Glover, hooking up
with Loyaltees was a good fit. “Being a basketball junkie, I have to keep playing the game,” said the 6’5, 222-pound Glover, who averaged 9.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in his TCNJ career with 984 points. “I am playing right now in North Jersey for the Hoopsville Pro-Am league and Loyaltees asked me to come down here to play. Coming in and playing with the guys I grew up with like Nick Davidson and Terrance Bailey is like another day of practice for me.” With Loyaltees trailing 3429 at halftime, the squad picked it up on the defensive end coming down the stretch. “In those moments, you have to come together as a team,” said Glover. “We can’t rely on reaching in, we have to play good defense. They tried to push it. They had a lot of bigs and we

are guard heavy so defense is definitely important.” Pulling out the win in the opener was an important step forward as Loyaltees looks to get on the same page. “A lot of guys filled their role,” said Glover, reflecting on the win which saw Davison score 18 points and Bailey chip in 14. “We have a lot of scorers, we have a lot of good guys who play overseas and a lot of former college players so coming out today was a good thing for us.” Glover acknowledged that the team needs to work on getting into a better offensive flow. “We know we have the talent, we just have to take good shots,” said Glover, who is looking to play pro ball in Puerto Rico this winter. “ We s h ou l d n ot h ave rushed certain shots. We should have passed the ball more to get the extra pass and get everyone going.” In Glover’s view, Loyaltees has the potential to achieve the title repeat. “We are kind of like the Warriors,” added Glover. “We have a lot of new guys coming in so we have to come together. If we get another championship, that would be great.” —Bill Alden

Nathaniel “Nate” Wilbank Lee Nathaniel “Nate” Wilbank Lee, age 19, of Montgomery Township, NJ, passed away on June 9, 2019 after years of struggle with depression. Nate was born in New York City on the first day of the year of the Dragon. At the time of his birth, his greatgrandparents remarked that he was the “Golden Dragon” baby. Nate’s curiosity about the world began at a young age with trucks and dinosaurs, and grew to include philosophy, math, and writing while he was a student at Skidmore College. He loved his brothers, Noah and Caleb, and his six younger cousins in CT and FL. As the oldest of nine grandchildren, he took good care of his younger brothers and cousins with kindness and affection. He was genuine, smart, caring, and attentive to anyone who needed his help, be it family or friend. He enjoyed so many aspects of life when his depression did not get in the way, especially spending time with his family, eating good food, working out, traveling, skiing, writing fiction, and playing video games. He loved his family so much and was much loved by his entire extended family. He is survived by his loving parents, Dr. Richard and Mrs. Helen Lee, and his beloved brothers Noah and Caleb.

Dr. Yuan-Min Li 1958-2019
With great sorrow, we share this sad news: our beloved husband and father Yuan-Min Li completed his life’s journey and passed away at Princeton Medical Center on the morning of June 9th, 2019, after battling advanced cancer for months. Words cannot express the deep pain and emptiness we feel from this great loss. Beyond being an extraordinary man with all his accomplishment in photovoltaics, Yuan-Min was a loving husband and father, the most reliable and trustworthy friend, and our mentor and soulmate. He told us just days before his departure, that he was to start a new journey, a journey of love. We know he is now free of pain, and we send love from all of us, wherever he is!

WE WON’T EMPTY YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
From Hanergy: We are sad to announce that Dr. Yuanmin Li, our chief scientist and the co-CTO of Hanergy Thin Film Power Group, passed away on June 9th, 2019 in Princeton, NJ, USA, at the age of sixty. Dr. Yuanmin Li wa s born in Beijing on October 11th, 1958. He graduated from the Department of Modern Physics, the University of Science and Technology of China in 1982. He obtained his master’s degree in physics and Ph.D. in applied physics from Harvard University, in 1984 and 1989, respectively. During his graduate study, he worked as a teaching assistant at the Department of Applied Physics and then a lecturer at the Department of Applied Mathematics. After graduation, he held a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Applied Physics at Harvard University for one year. His industrial career in photovoltaics started in 1990. He had been working in numerous prodigious PV companies such as Solarex, BP Solar, AmPro Corporation, Energy Photovoltaics Inc., Terra Solar Inc., Renewable Energy Solutions Inc., and GS-Solar (Fujian) Energy, Co., Ltd., as senior scientist, process director, technical director, R&D VP, coCTO, co-founder, and president. He also was an active member of thin-film partnership program of the Department of Energy, USA. Dr. Yuanmin Li joined Hanergy in 2010 as a vice chairman and co-CTO of Hanergy Thin Film Power Group, Ltd. Dr. Li devoted his entire career in developing thin-film photovoltaic materials and technologies from hydrogenated amorphous Si and its alloys, nano-crystalline Si, CIGS, perovskite, single and multijunction solar cells and thin-film modules. For more than 30 years, his expertise covered the deposition and characterization of thin-film materials, design, synthesis, analysis, and optimization of photovoltaic devices, manufacturing of large-area photovoltaic modules, displays, optoelectronic devices and materials. He has accomplished a number of silicon-based thin-film solar cell records: first ever single-junction hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cell with the open-circuit voltage (VOC) exceeding 1.0V; especially wide band-gap hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) materials and its solar cell with VOC reaching 1.03V (world record at that time); greater than 8% conversion efficiency of a high performance nano-crystalline silicon solar cells deposited by a single-chamber radio-frequency plasma enhanced chemical
vapor deposition (RF-PECVD); the first stable efficiency greater than 9% obtained by doublejunction amorphous silicon/amorphous silicon germanium solar module on 1 m2 glass substrate with initial efficiency above 11%; the DC discharge asymmetric etching for large-area nano-crystalline silicon deposition; single-chamber large-area multi-junction thin-film silicon photovoltaic module production with highest stable conversion efficiency at lowest cost. During his career, he had filed more than 100 patents both in China and abroad, nearly 40 have been granted; published 67 papers in academic journals and international conferences. During his Hanergy times starting from 2010, Dr. Li has done remarkable performance in both R&D and mass production of hydrogenated amorphous silicon alloys, CIGS, silicon heterojunction (SHJ), and perovskite technologies, etc. As the leader of the Hanergy Chengdu R&D Center from November of 2011, Dr. Li had made many breakthroughs in mass production of hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium tandem solar modules, BIPV, agricultural greenhouse application, and amorphous/nano-microcrystalline silicon thinfilm tandem solar cell technologies. In particular, the successful application of silicon-based alloy thin films to high-efficiency SHJ solar cells has produced the record cell efficiency in full-6-inch wafer in China in 2018, and the record cell was made from the pilot production line. Dr. Li was diligent, hard-working, and eager to learn and sensitive to new technologies. Dr. Li actively promoted research on perovskite solar cell technology and played a key role in establishing a team in Chengdu R&D Center in June 2018. Promising progress has been made in large-area perovskite solar cell and perovskite/SHJ tandem solar cell developments. Dr. Yuanmin Li, as a leading scientist with numerous outstanding contributions in thin-film photovoltaics, an excellent leader and beloved mentor to young engineers and researchers, a dear friend and colleague, will be long remembered. The passing away of Dr. Yuanmin Li is a great loss to his family, his friends, and colleagues, and the PV communities. However, Dr. Li’s vision and passion of PV, his dedication, work ethic, focus, and no-nonsense leadership will inspire us to strive for greater progress in PV technology and industry.

GETTING YOUR HOUSE PREPPED FOR SALE Decluttering your house is key to getting your home sold. Personalized decor and collections can limit the imagination of buyers. A way to look through your house it to use the KonMari method. For those of you that are not familiar, this method introduces the idea of only keeping items that are used and bring you joy. Tidying not by room but by category; books, papers, clothes and sentimental items. Take time to consider if the item is useful. When was the last time your used it? Is it something that you should pack away? Once you have gone through the process it will cut down on the items that you pack and move and will ensure that you are off to a great start in your new home.

“
After 22 seasons in the NFL, including two championships with the New York Giants, you can believe that I’ve had my fair share of injuries. What’s important to me now is staying healthy, playing with my son, and staying active without pain.
Through my years I’ve seen a lot of orthopedic and pain management doctors and I’ll allow only the best doctors on my team. That’s why now, I trust the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center to keep me out of pain and on my game without resorting to surgery or dangerous medications. The doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center are incredible. They take their time and they listen to you whether you play on a team or sit in an office. They work with you to craft a treatment plan to achieve your goals safely and quickly. Look, I live close to NYC and Philadelphia, and I could go anywhere in the world for my orthopedic care. After seeing scores of doctors, it just doesn’t get any better than the team at Princeton Spine and Joint Center. If you have pain and you want to stay active, be pain-free and receive cutting edge care, call them now and get on the road back to the active life you want to lead.
