Mia Sacks and Michelle Pirone Lambros earned the highest number of votes in yesterday’s primary election, according to unofficial results, and will represent the Democrats in the November contest for two Princeton Council seats. Sacks won 1,371 votes (39.59 percent), while Lambros earned 1,109 (32.02 percent), and the incumbent Tim Quinn finished third with 969 votes (27.98 percent). Adam Bierman will run as an Independent in the November 5 election against Sacks and Lambros. There are no Republicans in the election for Council this year. Jenny Crumiller will step down at the end of the year, and her seat and Quinn’s will be up for grabs in the general election. Running unopposed in the Democratic Primary for two seats, two-year terms, in the 16th Legislative District of the New Jersey General Assembly, incumbents Andrew Zwicker and Roy Freiman earned spots on the ballot in November, while Republicans chose Mark Caliguire and Christine Madrid over third place finisher Roger Forest Locandro. In other local primary election results, incumbent Brian M. Hughes, running unopposed in the race for Mercer County executive, will represent the Democrats, while Lishian “Lisa” Wu, also unopposed in her primary, will be the Republican candidate this fall. Incumbent Democrats Andrew Koontz and Nina D. Melker ran unopposed for the nomination to two open Board of Chosen Freeholders seats, and will run without opposition again in the November election. Sacks has served on the Planning Board and the Environmental Commission and has been active in numerous other local organizations. She has also worked at the senior level in the nonprofit sector in New York City and abroad. Lambros, whose campaign emphasized bringing ”a new perspective and fresh ideas “ to Council, has built and owned a number of small businesses and has served on the Princeton Zoning Board, the Princeton Merchants’ Association Board, and the Princeton Community Democratic Organization Board. —Donald Gilpin

Defend Civil Virtues, Urges Eisgruber Presiding over Princeton University’s 272nd commencement ceremony yesterday on the front lawn of Nassau Hall, University President Christopher L. Eisgruber called on the 1,282 undergraduate and 562 graduate degree recipients to “defend the civil virtues.” He warned them that they were going out into a world “in which civic norms crucial to our shared political life are fraying.” He added, “Your generation’s ability to address the world’s problems will depend on, among other things, your capacity to nurture and repair those norms.” Describing civil virtues as “the indispensable foundation for any democratic society in which people seek to learn from one another and to pursue a common good that unites them across differences,” Eisgruber urged his listeners not only to “live those values but also to speak up bravely on their behalf…to provide the service, citizenship, and leadership that our world so needs.” The University also awarded honorary degrees to six individuals for their contributions to education, literature, public

service, science, and space travel. The honorary degree recipients were Ohio State University President Michael Drake, who is widely known for his leadership on issues of diversity; former Republican Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, who represented New Jersey’s 11th district for 24 years before retiring in January 2019; Princeton Zoology Professor Emeritus Peter Grant and Senior Research Biologist Emeritus Rosemary Grant, groundbreaking evolutionary

biologists exploring the group of 18 bird species known as Darwin’s finches; Edith Grossman, renowned translator of Spanish and Latin American literature from Cervantes to Marquez; and astronaut and former director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center Ellen Ochoa, who in 1993 became the first Latina to travel into space.

Public Schools Chart Their Way Forward; “Transparency Blitz” as Year Winds Down

“Here’s what we’re doing. Here’s where we’re going,” said Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE) President Beth Behrend in a Monday press conference as she laid out the multiple projects and plans for the BOE in the coming days, months, and years. Transparency, advocacy, and stewardship are high priorities for the BOE and the PPS as they move ahead, with a

difficult year behind them and a host of challenges ahead. The past year has seen community conflict over multiple facilities referendum proposals, final passage last December of a reduced $26.9M referendum, then grappling with budget constraints and the BOE’s 6-4 approval last month of an unpopular budget that requires cuts of about Continued on Page 15

ers history in such a way that you really get to the humanity of it,” said Lampert-Rudman. “There are a lot of stories here that have never been told. We’ll be busting myths. People think they know how baseball started, but they’ve got to come to find out the real story.” Morven is at 55 Stockton Street. Visit www.morven.org for information. —Anne Levin

MORVEN.ORG

Beginning on Monday, June 10, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) will begin a two-week study of the effectiveness of a pedestrian-only signal phase, known as an Exclusive Pedestrian Phase ( EPP), at the intersection of Nassau Street and Washington Road/ Vandeventer Avenue. The EPP is a traffic signal operation that allows pedestrians to cross in any direction, even diagonally, while all vehicle traffic is stopped. The pedestrian must push the button on the existing traffic signal pole to initiate the pedestrian phase, and then wait until the white walk symbol lights. Pedestrians will have approximately 39 seconds to cross the intersection while vehicles have the red light. This will occur every 90 to 132 seconds if the pedestrian button is pushed. Currently no right turns on red are allowed and this will continue. During the exclusive pedestrian phase, all traffic will have a red light and turning on red will continue to be prohibited. The study is being done at the request of Princeton officials. NJDOT has a responsibility for providing safe pedestrian accommodations on state roadways while not increasing traffic congestion and gridlock on a critical roadway through any town. Balancing these concerns is paramount for any roadway improvements NJDOT considers. Upon completion of the trial, NJDOT will review the findings to determine what is best in terms of safety and operational performance at the intersection for all users. In 2016, at the town’s request, the Depar tment made pedestrian and safety improvements to the intersection of Nassau Street and Washington Road/ Vandeventer Avenue. Due to the non-standard geometry of the roads, the traffic signal phase for Washington Road and Vandeventer Avenue was changed so that both approaches no longer get a green at the same time. The main advantage of an EPP is that during the pedestrian-only phase, all traffic has a red light and no turns are allowed, which eliminates the conflict of turning vehicle and pedestrians. The main disadvantage is the signal will have five phases, rather than four phases. This creates longer wait times for vehicles while pedestrians are crossing, and for pedestrians when vehicles have the right of way.

“The University is more inclusive since I graduated. President Eisgruber is making all kinds of efforts, from opening up new opportunities for first-generation students to looking at the accountability that Princeton had from some past generations that was not so great, and his willingness to have open and honest dialogues. I understand there are some current struggles over Title IX and certain student protections but, obviously, every place has a little further to go. But I am pleased with what the University has done and is continuing to do to evolve.” —Bernadette T. Weeks, Princeton ’79, Yonkers, N.Y.

Johnny: “I think it has gotten a whole lot more interesting. It’s grown in terms of diversity. The University has always been about students and faculty and their interactions, and I think that now there’s a much richer mix of people to learn from. I learned more outside of the classroom as opposed to in it, and this place has been built on that philosophy.” —Johnny O’Brien, Princeton ’65, Easton, Md., with Cosmo Iacavazzi, Princeton ’65, Pennington

“Physically it is a lot, lot bigger, and it used to be a much simpler place. Academically, when we were here, there used to be just one dean. Now there are three deans for each of the different colleges. And of course, the student body has grown quite a bit and includes women.” —Staś Maliszewski, Princeton ’66, Reisterstown, Md.

Jim: “I think that the addition of female students has been one of the most positive changes that has happened at Princeton University since I graduated. Obviously there have been many changes, but as a former public school student I was used to having young women in the class with me, and it was a big change for me when I arrived here. Just think of all of the outstanding, brilliant, and influential people the University would have not had on campus had they not become a coeducational institution.” —Jim Williamson, Princeton ’64, with Judy Williamson, both of Reading, Pa.

through FitzRandolph Gate as newly minted graduates of this University. Before you do, it is traditional for the University president to say a few words about the path that lies ahead. T his valedictor y r it ual is at once utterly common and manifestly artificial. If I or other speakers had sage insight into the wisdom required to navigate life’s unpredictable and sometimes tragic challenges, I guarantee you that we would have shared it long before now. That, I suspect, is one reason why most graduation speeches, with rare and glittering exceptions, are little noted when delivered and quickly forgotten thereafter. And if the ritual graduation speech is ar tificial under any circumstances, it seems all the more so at the conclusion of a reunions and commencement weekend when political content ion occasionally f lared amidst the academic calendar’s most joyous festivities and celebrations. These local events reflect the mood of the country and indeed much of the world. Ours is an ill-tempered time, one that leads some thoughtful observers to worry that we as a country are losing the capacity to disagree respectfully and civilly with one another. Bitter scrutiny is now almost inevitable for anyone who voluntarily enters public life, and increasingly it extends also to some who never sought the world’s attention. People just going about their lives, doing hard jobs or making tough choices as conscientiously as they can, may suddenly find themselves caught in an unwanted spotlight, the target of unproven and hurtful accusations permanently inscribed on the internet’s digital surfaces.

This unhappy chain of events began, ironically, in the shadow of a national monument inscribed with counsel frequently quoted but rarely heeded in our society: “With malice toward none, with charity for all …” The firestorm generated by the confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial was especially intense but the basic pattern is all too familiar. Our politics has become hostage to an angry and accusatory culture, in which people too often prefer to issue provocations or denounce opponents, rather than engage in the vital civic work required by deliberative processes that are fair and inclusive to multiple interests and points of view.

Numerous Residents Weigh In On Draft of Climate Action Plan May 31 was the final day for Princeton residents to comment on the draft of the town’s Climate Action Plan (CAP). According to Sustainable Princeton, which coordinated the collaborative effort to create the document, interest from the public has been significant. “It has been huge — pretty substantial,” said Molly Jones, Sustainable Princeton’s executive director. We have been delighted by the response.” Jones said there were 1,619 online page views for the 62page draft. A total of 334 comments were recorded, with the greatest number going to the categories of Land Use and Transportation, followed by Materials Management, Energy, Natural Resources, Resiliency, and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals. In an effort to engage the public, Sustainable Princeton held several outreach events about the plan over the last few months. The draft was a coordinated effort of 53 Princeton community members over some 18 months, funded by a $100,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The goal is

to make Princeton climateresilient and reduce carbon emissions by 80 percent from 2010 levels by 2050. “We want to make this about the community’s input and ownership, so people have a vested stake when we go to implement it,” said Jones. “So we had a great number of events to engage the public — at houses of faith, schools, public events, government meetings, and special interest group gatherings. We tried to meet people where they are.” There are 13 objectives proposed in the draft, which was released in April. Among them are an increase in the number of publicly available electric vehicle chargers to 20 by 2025; promotion of alternatives to car ownership through carsharing and bicycle-sharing services; the expansion of neighborhood and backyard composting of organic materials; and a reduction of emissions from public and private lawn maintenance equipment. Noise pollution generated significant interest among those who commented. “People are concerned about the

emissions and the noise from leaf blowers and other landscaping equipment,” Jones said. “But those are harder nuts to crack, because you’re getting into some debates that have been going on in this community on that subject.” Jones said making people understand the effects of greenhouse gas emissions is a priority. “People are concerned about waste, but we’re also trying to raise consciousness about where our energy is coming from — how we heat and cool our homes — and how to reduce it,” she said. “Another huge thing is the realization that it’s going to take a lot of changes, on many different levels.” Putting up new buildings on a smaller footprint, and making existing buildings energyefficient, are additional priorities, she said. A steering committee will meet this week to take comments provided by the public into consideration and adjust the CAP draft to reflect them. A final draft will be created in the next few weeks, after which it will go before Princeton Council. “This is a community-focused plan, so it doesn’t have to be approved. But we will ask for Council’s blessing, which would be a resolution to provide their support. Then this fall, we hope to pull together a greater group of community leaders to discuss how we can continue moving forward among different institutions, and ultimately figure out how to carry the plan out.” —Anne Levin

Aparna Rajesh, captain of the YWCA’s all-girls robotics team Prototype G, was recently asked to act as an honorary member of team 9971 LANbros (the No. 1 ranked team in the state) drive team, where she and the team competed and won the entire First Tech Challenge (FTC) World Championship. Rajesh was also selected to be one of four New Jersey FTC Dean’s List finalists, selected from 54 semi-finalists. Finalists are invited to the FIRST World Championship and the Dean’s List Luncheon, a meeting with FIRST founders, FIRST executives, and past Dean’s List winners in order to discuss their accomplishments and future plans. Rajesh continues to lead the way for girls interested in STEM, not only in the YWCA Princeton Robotics Lab, but on a national scale through FTC competitions. YWCA Princeton is proud of her accomplishments, and inspired by her passion to encourage other young women to pursue STEM and robotics. YWCA Princeton’s robotics teams, the Robotic Rockettes and Prototype G, compete in First Lego League (FLL) and First Tech Challenge (FTC) competitions. The FLL competition requires the Robotic Rockettes, comprised of girls in fourtheighth grade, to solve a realworld challenge using science, which they present at regional competitions. They also build a robot using Lego bricks, which includes sensors, pulleys, and motors. Prototype G, which includes girls in seventh-12th grade, builds, designs, and programs a robot capable of competing in technical challenges against other robots. The competitions,

challenges that require the robot to act autonomously or be controlled by a team member. YWCA Princeton offers a Summer STEM Club for girls and boys ages 6-12 who are interested in science, math, technology, and robotics. Registration for the all-girls robotics teams are open now.

The official opening May 31 of a segment of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail, on the campus of Educational Testing Service (ETS), marked a significant milestone for those who have been working since 2002 to create a walking and biking trail linking segments of public and private land in Mercer County. T h e .6 - m i l e s e g m e n t brings the trail to 20.25 miles, leaving only two more to be constructed. “We’re thrilled,” said Becky Taylor, the trail’s founder and copresident. “To pass 20 miles is huge. This goes a long way toward the completion of the 22-mile trail. And ironically, the very first section of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail was a small segment on the ETS campus.” The paved trail is designed to reduce the reliance on automobiles, and promote health, fitness, recreation, and outdoor education. It is handicapped-accessible and can be used for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and skateboarding, as well as walking, jogging, and biking. Taylor was working in c om m u n it y r e lat ion s at Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) when the idea for the trail first came up. “We have a significant presence in this area, and we wanted to demonstrate, really boldly, the company’s commitment to being a good corporate citizen in the community,” she said “We also talked about the impact employees have on the roads.

At that point, BMS had the Lawrenceville facility and Hopewell campus, and had just purchased a piece of property that is now the Princeton Pike campus. We thought maybe we should connect our offices to be anchors for a biking trail. So we invited representatives from Lawrenceville, Hopewell, Mercer County, and the [New Jersey] Department of Environmental Protection, and everybody loved the idea. It became a shared project, and we’ve been working on it ever since.” The Lawrence Hopewell Trail crosses Rosedale Road at t he intersection w it h Maya Drive, where it enters the ETS campus. The trail heads north for .1 mile before turning northeast where it parallels Assessment Road for another .1 mile before turning east and crossing ETS Drive. The new segment begins at that point, winding through a wooded area for .3 mile before intersecting with Province Line Road near Audubon Lane. It then continues north on

Province Line for .8 mile where it meets Pretty Brook Road. This is where remaining sections of the trail are planned. The trail also circles the ETS campus providing users access to other trails on the property. The nonprofit Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corporation is a member of the Circuit Trails, an 800-mile network of bicycle and pedestrian trails that, when completed, are expected to connect people to jobs, communities, and public spaces across a nine-county region in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Taylor said the nonprofit is talking with Princeton, Ewing Township, and Hopewell Borough about extending the trail to those communities. “Mercer County is doing a lot to encourage fur ther enhancement for biking and walking trails,” she said. “We think it could be a significant start to a really awesome trail system here. It’s all about getting out and enjoying our world and thinking about it as a precious resource.” —Anne Levin

Record 40 Restaurants At Taste Trenton

Forty restaurants and other eateries will participate in Taste Trenton Friday-Sunday, June 7-9. The self-guided tour is in its fourth year and is designed to encourage visitors to try out new restaurants and test out samples that the owners have selected. “Our goal was to attract 25 restaurants this year, but when word got out that we were holding Taste Trenton again, we had little trouble recruiting,” said Taste Trenton coordinator Bernard McMullan. “In fact, some contacted us to be sure they were on the list and wanted to know when we’d be by to pick up their registration. We are proud to welcome our guests to these 40 establishments.” Taste Trenton features a broad range of cuisines and restaurant types including a variety of Latin American eating places offering Dominican, Venezuelan, Costa Rican, Salvadorian, Mexican, and Guatemalan food. Halal Brothers, which opened this spring, features Jerusalem Palestinian fare. In addition, Taste Trenton’s list includes OD African

Restaurant presenting recipes from West Africa. African American eateries are represented as well. There are traditional sit-down restaurants, several bars and lounges, a coffee house, and bakeries. “We have a few new features this year,” McMullan said. “More than half of the restaurants are offering dinner specials for those food tourists who are looking for a more traditional ‘restaurant week’ option. In addition, several participating restaurants have created a special Taste Trenton beverage. I’m going to be trying out the Jamaican Horchata.” Food tourists may purchase a wristband from Taste Trenton ($7 online through June 6 @ www.tastetrenton.com or during the weekend for $10). Wristbands are valid for the entire weekend. Go to ArtWorks, 19 Everett Alley, to pick up the wristband and a passport/guidebook that lists each participating restaurant, notes the specials being offered, and provides a map showing each location. The tour is self-guided; those on the tour select which restaurants they want to visit, how long they want to stay, and which of the specials they want to try. On Saturday only, there will be free buses transporting guests from Artworks to restaurants in the Chambersburg/South Broad Street area. This year’s Taste Trenton coincides (on Saturday, June 8) with the Old Mill Hill Society’s Annual Garden Tour, which also uses ArtWorks as its starting point. In addition, Friday, June 7 is marks First Friday, when many galleries will be opening new shows throughout city.

School Matters Johnson Park Is Building an Amphitheater The Johnson Park School (JP) is building an amphitheater on the school’s grounds. Funded entirely by the JP Parent-Teacher Organization, construction will begin at the end of the school year and should be completed before school starts in September. The names of all current students and faculty will be engraved on PTO-sponsored stones, and current families, alumni, JP neighbors, and friends will all have the opportunity to contribute to commemorative bricks. Donors can have their bricks engraved to convey a message to current, past, or future JP students, honor a loved one, or commemorate the donor’s connection to JP. Noting that the grassy hill that leads to the JP pavilion and playground is “a perfect space to construct an amphitheater,” JP Principal Robert Ginsberg stated, “Our staff is very excited as it considers the possibilities to use this year-round space for performances, presentations, outdoor classrooms, assemblies, and so much more.”

Students Travel to Bermuda, Learn About Plastic Pollution Eighth-grade students from the French American School of Princeton took a class trip to Bermuda last month to learn about plastic pollution and its effects on marine life. They learned about human impacts on marine environments at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute, visited a coral reef with the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, and teamed up with Keep Bermuda Beautiful and a local middle school to clean up the beach and participate in a round-table discussion on environmental issues. The trip was part of the students’ International Baccalaureate project to educate the community about plastic pollution issues by organizing several fundraisers and recycling projects this year.

Yinghua Students Win Medals in Speech Competition Two Yinghua International School (YHIS) students won medals at last month’s 46th Annual Association of Chinese Schools (ACS) speech competition in Baltimore, Maryland.

3 percent to staff and programs. In its focus on communication and transparency, a “transparency blitz” in Behrend’s words — perhaps in response to accusations of insufficient transparency in the early stages of the referendum process a year ago — the BOE has been reaching out to the community and providing information in a variety of different forums. At last week’s Princeton Council meeting, BOE President Beth Behrend delivered a detailed explanation of the 2019 PPS budget with follow-up for questions and comments. On the agenda at last night’s Board meeting in the Valley Road conference room, which took place after press time, was a thorough update on the referendum building and renovation projects. The district website continues to urge community members to offer their cost-savings and efficiencyenhancing ideas in responding to a short survey. Coming up this Thursday, June 6, is “Bagels with the Board,” an opportunity to meet and share ideas with members of the Board at an informal breakfast. And an extensive presentation on security in the schools is planned for next Tuesday’s June 11 Board meeting. New Facilities Director Also on the agenda at last night’s referendum update meeting was the introduction of David Harding as the new PPS director of district facilities, who will oversee all aspects of the referendum

projects as well as supervising district-wide plant operations, facilities, and transportation operations. Taking over on July 1 from Gary Weisman, who is retiring, Harding is currently director of facilities for the Bernards Township School District, where he has served for the past six years. Harding is a graduate of NJIT with a degree in engineering, and he has served as a project director, as well as a commissioning agent and director, for an engineering firm. In his new role, Harding will oversee the designs, cost estimates, bid specifications, construction plans, and project implementation of the referendum projects, and will assist Superintendent Steve Cochrane to ensure thoughtful implementation, costeffectiveness, and clear communication to the community. “Dave brings a wealth of experience that will guide our efforts not only to maintain and enhance our facilities but to advance both learning and sustainability,” Cochrane said. “A balance of highly competent and highly caring, Dave is enthusiastic about the details of every building and every project because he recognizes that the work on our facilities is fundamentally about supporting the students, staff, and families who are in our schools each day.” The PPS has also created a Referendum Review Team of administrators, staff, and parents for each of its six schools, with representative providing input and ideas for the ongoing construction work, while also serving as additional contacts for members of their school communities.

At last night’s meeting, project architects were scheduled to describe the current status of the referendum implementation, with some improvements scheduled to get underway this summer and others taking place over the next year. A/C installation for the P r i n c e to n H i g h S c h o ol (PHS) gym and HVAC upgrades for Riverside Elementary School are slated for the coming months. Bids on most of the construction projects,primarily at PHS — renovation of the guidance suite, creation of a remote dining area, creation of a loft over the current fitness center, and the creation of a second floor with four new classrooms — will be going out this summer and fall, with construction planned for 2020 and 2021. Since HVAC renovations for the elementary schools could not be accomplished in one summer without displacing a number of summer programs in the schools, Riverside was selected to pilot the HVAC installations with the other elementary schools to be completed by next summer. Security Next week’s Board meeting on security in the schools will feature Jeff Gale, director of the office of school preparedness and emergency planning for the New Jersey Department of Education. The presentation will provide an overview of security in the PPS and the steps that are being taken to create a safe and secure environment. Physical changes, an important part of the referendum, include the creation of security vestibules, replacement of doors at

the elementary schools, new hardware, new window configurations, and a new guest management system to check visitors’ identification. BOE Vice President Greg Stanciewicz, who along with Behrend has been attending state-level meetings on security, related security concerns to the schools’ strategic goals of wellness and safety for students and staff. “You try to institute best practices, to reduce chances of an incident, to prepare as much as possible, and to delay and deter if necessary,” he said. In addressing issues of security, the referendum, and other challenges ahead, Stanciewicz emphasized the value of having a first-rate team working in conjunction with community stakeholders. “Having a full, strong team in place helps us to respond to whatever comes up. We’re focusing on our strategic goals, but we’re not going to get to the right answers without bringing everyone to the table,” he added. Cochrane emphasized the importance of stewardship “to proceed in the manner that allows us to make the best use of the resources we are entrusted with.” He pointed out, “We’re making sure we’re doing the projects right and taking the time to gather as much information as we can to leverage the expertise in our community.” —Donald Gilpin

Calling For Comprehensive Civics Education To Be Restored to the School Curriculum

To the Editor: Our next election to choose the president of the United States is on November 3, 2020. President Trump intends to run for re-election. He may face primary challengers, and the Democratic Party currently has 23 contenders for the nomination. What does this mean to a new voter? How can a person who has just turned 18 make sense of this complex political scene? The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting and protecting voting rights. In working closely this spring with Lawrence High School student leaders to register new Mercer County voters, we signed up to 50 new voters in one morning. Unfortunately, a significant number of students had little knowledge of what registration and voting are all about, perhaps because civics courses are rarely taught in New Jersey schools. This letter is a call to action. We encourage school administrators, guidance counselors, teachers, students, and our state legislators to restore comprehensive civics education to the school curriculum and the educational experience.

Why is Princeton Willing to Dismiss The Value Provided by Community TV?

To the Editor: As well as being a Life Success Coach, I host and produce Natasha, a half-hour interview show for Princeton Community Television (PCTV), doing interviews on topics ranging from “tattoos to nuclear weapons.” In the past 18 months I have done numerous shows on the opioid epidemic in New Jersey; interviewing recovering addicts, parents who lost children, a retired judge who started a recovery program in jail, drug counselors, a prosecutor, attorneys challenging the role of big pharma, etc. There was something extraordinarily valuable to learn from each of these guests, including resources available in this area. I have done interviews with the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault, New Jersey’s SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), NJ Coalition for Peace

Action, Womanspace, HomeFront, Penn East Pipeline Resistance, and the New Jersey Sierra Club. I interviewed local youth who started nonprofits. It doesn’t get much more local and relevant. In the past year I did three shows on scleroderma, a devastating disease that is considered incurable. A Princeton physician working with my guest Jane suggested medication that was not available in the U.S. at that time. As a result, Jane is a walking miracle; as of now, the first person we know of who is cured of scleroderma. Partly because of Jane being unstoppable as an advocate for finding a cure, and because of the attention she got from doing the interviews and spreading the word, as of January 2019 the medication she used has now been made available in the U.S. In response to the interviews, Jane got calls from all over the world. One of the interviews was aired at a scientific conference in Germany. Temple University has also aired several of my interviews. Why is Princeton so willing to dismiss the value provided by PCTV? I am one producer of many, who create rich and valuable programming. People have talked about how the studio provides training and courses and opportunities to learn how to produce shows. That’s just one side of it. The other side is the extraordinarily diverse and significant programs that are produced at the studio. Princeton is known world-wide as diverse, intellectually and culturally exciting, a center of creative thinking. Why would the municipality of Princeton not embrace and support the unique offerings of PCTV? Princeton receives a cable TV franchise fee. Not all, but only a portion of this has been used to keep Princeton Community Television alive. Recently, there was a statement made indicating that the reason Princeton was refusing to continue allocating the monies to sustain PCTV was that they had a commitment to providing taxpayer relief. How does an annual budget of $232,000 provide significant taxpayer relief? NATASHA SHERMAN Life Success Coach Mercerville

A Continuous Unfolding: D-Day, David Milch, García Lorca, and the Return of “Deadwood” Tell me a story of deep delight. — Robert Penn Warren n the heels of the controversially rushed, truncated final season of Game of Thrones, HBO has released Deadwood: The Movie, the final chapter of David Milch’s “story of deep delight,” the series brought to an equally untimely and even more unfortunate end in 2006. While the distinguished novelist/ po e t/ c r i t i c Robe rt Pe n n Wa rre n (1905-1989) may seem an unlikely godfather for so profane and powerful a work, the depth of his influence is made clear in Mark Singer’s recent New Yorker article, “David Milch’s Third Act.” Anyone who has kept faith with Deadwood during the long wait for this moment should read Singer’s piece, as well as Alan Sepinwall’s outstanding appreciation in Rolling Stone. Far more significant than the revelation that Milch has Alzheimer’s is what Singer’s profile shows about how the lessons Milch learned from his mentor at Yale have given Deadwood the literary magnitude that sets it apart from other HBO masterworks like The Sopranos, The Wire, and Game of Thrones. Referring to Warren, Milch says, “He was a teacher, but he was also always a searcher. He was respectful in sharing the pursuit and you felt you mustn’t fail to bring anything but your best attention and respect for the transaction....You felt that you must suppress everything irrelevant or distracting.... You had in his presence an effect of a continuous unfolding. It wasn’t so much an unfolding of a truth as it was of a passion .... The great blessing of Mr. Warren’s presence was a rising up in one’s heart of the desire to acknowledge that shared experience.” “Kubla Khan” When Singer asks whether Alzheimer’s “had given anything in return,” Milch speaks of “a continuous sense of urgency ... an acute sense of time’s passage.” His suggestion “that time is ultimately the subject of every story” leads to a quote from Warren’s poem “Tell Me a Story,” lines that Milch has cited over the years “in classrooms, writers’ rooms, personal encounters, lectures, and interviews”:

Tell me a story. Make it a story of great distances, and starlight. The name of the story will be Time, But you must not pronounce its name. Tell me a story of deep delight. The last two words echo in the “deep romantic chasm” of one of the most

famous poems in English, Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan.” As he transcribes his laundanum dream, Coleridge hears “an Abyssinian maid/Singing of Mount Abora,” and imagines his “deep delight” could he revive “Her symphony and song.” In the opening stanza of Warren’s poem, he recalls hearing the “great geese hoot northward” when he was a boy in Kentucky. Though he could not see them, “there being no moon/And the stars sparse,” he “heard them.” The experience of being involuntarily receptive to wonder and mystery, as expressed in Coleridge’s visionary dream, similarly informs Warren’s haunting line, “I did not know what was happening in my heart,” which also evokes the wonders Deadwood achieves in its most poignant and powerful moments. Right now I’m thinking of the night scene near the end of the movie when Calamity Jane and Joanie Stubbs look up in “deep delight” at the slow magical fall of snowflakes as Milch concludes his “story of great distances and starlight.” In Walks Lorca García Lorca is here because t o d a y, J u n e 5 , i s his 120th birthday. So capacious is M i l c h ’s v i s i o n t h a t i t ’s p o s s i b l e t o imagine an American incarnation of the Spanish poet walking down the muddy main street of Deadwood sometime between the shooting of Wild Bill and the snowy starlight Jane and Joanie delight in a decade later. Lorca would have a guitar, as he did when he was a student in Granada playing and singing Spanish folk music and making a name for himself before becoming a famous poet and p la ywright. T here’s a Deadwood ambiance in the “Gypsy Ballads,” where “Rider and horse appear/ With a long roll of the drum” and “Light like a deck of cards,/Hard and glossy and white,/Cuts in the brittle green/Horses rearing in fright.” Or Lorca might sing of the “lunatic afternoon” in which “Angels of black took wing/To the far air of the West.” He ends “Afternoon’s Last Light” singing, “O unarriving Night,/Object of fear and dream,/ How long the slanting sword,/How deep the driven wound!” D-Day Until Deadwood changed the dynamic, I was working on a D-Day sequel to last week’s celebration o f W h i t m a n a n d M e m o r i a l D a y, which ended with me smoking a

Camel from the pack found on my bellygunner uncle’s body after a freak training accident in February 1944. But for that, he might have been in one of the B-17s scouting the skies over Omaha Beach three months later. Following the theme of cigarettes as a shared sacrament in films and fiction as well as real life, and guessing that Lorca must have been a smoker, I cast a line into the cyberstream and came up with Leslie Stainton’s Lorca, A Dream of Life. It turns out that on the night of his arrest by Nationalist forces on August 16, 1936, Lorca was given a carton of (would you believe?) Camels by a friend. He was wearing “dark gray pants and a white shirt with a tie loosely tied around the collar” at the time, and when he demanded to know why he was beng arrested, he received a one-word answer, “Words.” Tw o n i g h t s l a t e r L o r c a w a s handcuffed and driven to a small building six miles from Granada with a schoolteacher and two bullfighters known for left-wing politics. The poet offered the last of his Camels to a young guard who was on duty that night, asking if he could have a newspaper and “more tobacco.” After humoring Lorca with smalltalk, the guard told him that they he and the other three were going to be killed. The sun had not yet risen when they were shot beside a stand of olive trees and buried in a nearby ravine. In his introduction to The Poet i n N e w Yo r k a n d O t h e r P o e m s (1940), José Benjamin presents Lorca’s murder as “the purest and clearest example of the martyrdom of an entire people.” “He Didn’t Suffer” Among the items the U.S. Army Air Force sent to my mother, along with the cigarettes and his dog-tag, was a large glossy photograph of a B-17 like the one my uncle died in, along with a letter to the effect that “he didn’t suffer,” and a handsome Citation of Honor signed by the commanding general of the Army Air Forces. The citation declares that “his sacrifice will help to keep aglow the flaming torch that lights our lives,” so that “millions yet unborn may know the priceless joy of liberty.” It ends: “We who pay him homage, and revere his memory, in solemn pride, rededicate ourselves to the fulfillment of the task for

which he so gallantly placed his life upon the altar of man’s freedom.” T h e C i t a t i o n o f H o n o r d o e s n ’t give my uncle’s full name, which was Robert E. Lee Patterson, i n h o n o r o f h i s g r a n d f a t h e r, a C onf e d e r ate ge ne r al who s e r v e d with Lee. His other grandfather, C.A. Davis, played the fiddle with Bat Masterson’s band in Dodge City. I like to think he was with them when they performed in Deadwood at Al Swearengen’s Gem or maybe C y To l l i v e r ’s B e l l a U n i o n . I s t i l l have the fiddle. Telling the Story The two characters from Game of Thrones I can imagine showing up in Deadwood are Jerome F l y n n ’s e a r t h y , w i s e c r a c k i n g sellsword Bronn and of course Peter Dinklage’s Tyrion Lannister, whose wit and eloquence qualify him to sling words with the likes of Ian MacShane’s Al Swearengen. In the rushed conclusion of Game of Thrones it’s left to Tyrion to tie up the labyrinth of loose ends in an uncharacteristically stilted speech: “What unites people? Armies? G o l d ? F l a g s ? S t o r i e s . T h e r e ’s nothing more powerful in the world than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it.” s David Milch shows throughout Deadwood and most movingly in his interview with Mark Singer, it’s the way you tell the story that counts. In quoting Milch on the influence of Robert Penn Warren, I found myself taking out lines (see the ellipses) for the sake of moving things along, not realizing that Milch was holding forth in the style of one of his characters. That said, I’ll restore a characteristic omission. Speaking of his mentor, Milch says, “You had the feeling that there were two spirits residing in a holy place. And there was an absolute lack of self-consciousness to the process. A mutual absence.” W h e n S i n g e r, i n h i s f r a n k b u t delicate probing of Milch on how he deals with dementia, refers to his “ability to pull back from whatever is immediate and contemporary and go to a place—say, Deadwood— where your characters exist,” Milch says, “I think that is the chief blessing of art, the opportunity to o r g a n i z e o n e ’s b e h a v i o r a r o u n d a d i f f e r e n t r e a l i t y. I t ’s a s e c o n d chance. You pray to be equal to it, equal to its opportunities. We both know that some days you’re better at that than others. In my case, there’s a continuing unfolding discovery of the limitations of that vision.” In Deadwood: The Movie, David Milch is more than equal to the many unfolding opportunities. —Stuart Mitchner

Packages start at just $16 per concert. princetonuniversityconcerts.org 609-258-2800

Princeton University Concerts’ 126th season will be a celebration of American musicians and composers. At the opening in October, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center presents a program entitled “New World Spirit” which explores the lineage of American classical music. The season continues through to the spring when the Dover String Quartet makes its Princeton University Concerts debut. PUC will pay tribute to Beethoven’s 250th anniversary not only by presenting his music throughout the season — including performances of the composer’s piano trios by violinist Isabelle Faust, cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, and pianist Alexander Melnikov, and his songs by baritone Matthias Goerne and pianist Jan Lisiecki — but also by supporting the creation of new work. As part of the Music Accord consortium, whose fellow members include the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Tanglewood Music Center,

PUC has co-commissioned two works that will appear on the series. Frederic Rzewski’s Demons, dedicated to author/political activist Angela Davis, was written for young violin star Benjamin Beilman who will make his PUC debut alongside fellow Avery Fisher Career Grant-winner Andrew Tyson at the piano. The Calidore String Quartet will return for their mainstage debut in a program including a work by composer Anna Clyne as inspired by Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge, which they will also perform alongside Bach’s Art of the Fugue. This kind of intentional programming will be featured throughout the season, including a program of Charles Ives’ complete violin sonatas with PUC veteran Stefan Jackiw and pianist Jeremy Denk in his PUC debut. This programming is aligned with PUC’s commitment to providing immersive experiences, as reflected in the expansion of the popular Up Close series into a framework that allows experiencing performances and artists up close in many different ways, including concerts with audiences seated onstage, mini-residencies by the season’s artists, and partnerships with departments and programs across the Princeton University campus, allowing for more in-depth approaches to the music on PUC’s season. The 2019-20 Performances Up Close series will focus on the spontaneity of music by highlighting musicians who are also improvisers, composers, and innovators. The Berlin-based Vision String Quartet will present classics in the chamber music repertory — including an overlooked string quartet by female composer Grazyna Bacewicz — and their own arrangements of jazz and pop standards. Venezuelan pianist Gabriela Montero will offer staples of the piano repertoire by Rachmaninoff and Schumann alongside live improvisation, including improvised music to a screening of Charlie Chaplin’s film The Immigrant. And pianist/composer Conrad Tao will make his PUC debut with tap dancer Caleb Teicher in a program that includes dance improvisations to works by J.S. Bach, Tao, and others. A new Icons of Song series features vocalists and pianists. Tenor Ian Bostridge will return to the series with jazz pianist, improviser, and composer Brad Mehldau in a program that pairs Schumann’s Dichterliebe with Mehldau’s brand new song cycle The Folly of Desire, featuring lyrics from the poetry of Shakespeare, e.e. cummings, Brecht, Yeats, Goethe, Blake, and others. Opera star Joyce DiDonato puts an unusual spin on Schubert’s Winterreise by staging this song cycle from the perspective of the protagonist’s beloved. Metropolitan Opera and Philadelphia Orchestra Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin will put down his baton in this rare appearance as a pianist to join her for this project. The season will end with an “Ode to Beethoven,” as baritone Matthias Goerne and 23-year-old pianist Jan Lisiecki present the composer’s songs. PUC maintains its commitment to accessibility with tickets for all of the programs on the 2019-2020 season starting at just $10. Throughout the year, PUC also invites the community to a range of free supplemental events includ-

GRAND FINALE: In its final concert of the season at Richardson Auditorium on Friday, June 7 at 8 p.m., the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, led by Music Director Xian Zhang, will perform selections from Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2.

Westminster Conservatory Youth Opera Performance

Westminster Conservatory’s annual benefit concert takes a theatrical turn this year, with a semi-staged production of the youth opera The Tinker of Tivoli, a comic tale about the dangers of pride and arrogance and the great rewards of love. Performances will be Saturday, June 8 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 9 at 3 p.m. in the Robert L. Annis Playhouse on the Westminster Choir College of Rider University campus in Princeton. The opera, written and directed by Conservatory faculty members Michael Jacobsen and Danielle Sinclair, features a musical score drawn from Gioacchino Rossini’s operas The Barber of Seville and La Cenerentola and set in the style of a Rossini comic opera, sung in English. The plot is loosely based on the Brothers Grimm tale The Gallant Tailor. This benefit performance brings together Conservatory faculty and student performers. Conservatory voice students take the main roles, assisted by a student chorus. Eugene Seong, who has been studying voice at the Conservatory for four years, plays the leading role, Beppe. Ruth Ochs conducts the accompanying chamber orchestra, composed of members of the Conservatory faculty and the Community Orchestra. Jillian Newton, a Westminster Choir College Choral Conducting graduate student, is the chorus master. Tickets are $10, sold in advance at the Westminster Conservatory Office, and $15 adults/$10 children 12 and under at the door. All proceeds will benefit Conservatory programs.

Friday, June 14, from 8-10 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Nalani & Sar ina’s live shows have made the identical twin sisters and Flemington-area locals favorites across the Northeastern club scene with their distinctive blend of traditional soul-rock and modern pop. Their most recent album, The Circle, is being distributed worldwide by Kobalt/AWAL Music. A pre-show dinner special is available at the Blue Fish Grill, next door to the theater, before the concert. Tickets for the show are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. Visit Eventbrite.com or contact Joanne Braun at (908) 268-6638. For more information, visit www. FriendsofHistoric-Flemington. org.

Richard Rodgers’ Music At Arts Council Benefit

On Saturday, June 15 at 7:30, Katie Welsh will perform the final show in her 2019 Spring Series, The Music of Richard Rodgers, at The Arts Council of Princeton, 102 Witherspoon Street. Welsh will explore the variety of songs Rodgers composed in collaboration with Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein II, Stephen Sondheim, and others, for Broadway and film musicals. She will draw from shows such as The Garrick Gaieties, Babes in Arms, Oklahoma!, Carousel, State Fair, South Pacific, Allegro, No Strings, Do I Hear a Waltz? and many more. All proceeds will support the Arts Council. Light refreshments will be served. Local to Princeton, Welsh offers what she calls an “informative cabaret,” a concept she first explored as part of her senior thesis at Princeton University. Between songs, she’ll share significant moments in the life of Richard Rodgers and provide some of the backstories and original contexts of his songs. Pianist David Pearl will be the accompanist. Pearl collaborates frequently with musicians in the jazz and classical community. He has been awarded grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, and his musical arrangements and transcriptions are published and perNalani & Sarina Live formed regularly.

ing to the U.S. Green Building Council. GFS’s LEED certification is the culmination of the institution’s focus on environmental sustainability championed by Barry Zhang, member of GFS Board of Trustees and CEO and founder of Princetel. “GFS prides itself on positively impacting the community through its educational programs and by operating sustainably. LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) is all about energy conservation, clean environment, and human experience. Being designated as a LEED Gold project demonstrates that we are energy and water efficient, we waste little and recycle well, we live close to where we work, and we’ve created a comfortable work environment for ourselves and our visitors,” said Zhang. Among the projects undertaken toward LEED certification, GFS implemented numerous energy savings measures to minimize the facility’s carbon footprint to the greatest extent possible. Water requirements can be remarkable for a 42-acre garden that hosts upwards of 250,000 visitors per year. GFS features a rainwater management system that collects rain and channels it into ponds on the property. This water is then used to help maintain the diverse native and exotic flora on the grounds. Paved surfaces are made of permeable materials and a system of gravel beds filter rain water and return it to the local aquifer. To reduce paper use, electronic messaging, signage, and ticketing systems were implemented. Scheduling visits online ahead of time leads to shorter lines and a seam-

less guest experience. A digital map is in development and will replace the printed version. These changes streamline the visitor experience, creating both efficiency and convenience. Biodegradable café eco-ware and sustainable office supplies are now standard at SJCA, while environmentally safe products are used to clean the facility and low-emitting paints and finishes are employed for a healthier environment inside the building. Recycling is provided throughout the facility for staff and guests alike, and staff measure the waste output of the facility to ensure goals continue to be met. LED lightbulbs have replaced all incandescent bulbs, and timers throughout the park and HVAC night setbacks are set at the minimum. “GFS was created to bring communities together around art and nature,” says Gary Garrido Schneider, executive director of Grounds For Sculpture. “Sited on the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds, we have a long history of adaptive reuse — from our galleries and artist studios which once housed fairgrounds exhibitions to the many ‘rescue’ trees from abandoned nurseries. We are proud to be a global and statewide leader in environmental sustainability.” For more information, visit www.groundsforsculpture.org.

Art

Alla Podolsky’s work is about life as we see it, as we internalize it, as we remember it. “I paint people, places, events, objects, emotions. All living, in constant motion, even when being still,” she says. “The transformation happens when we observe, when we interpret, when we remember, and color those experiences with our own perceptions. Life is never still, and my aim is to transfer the moments of unstillness with as much exuberance as I see around me.” Born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine, Podolsky traces her love of psychological painting to the Byzantine-style iconography of that city. After immigrating to the United States, she continued her art education at Moore College of Art and Design, and later received master’s degree in painting from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Artists’ Gallery is located at 18 Bridge Street, Lambertville. For more information, call (609) 397-4588 or visit www.LambertvilleArts.com.

The talents of 36 Mercer County artists are on display at the Gallery at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) in “Mercer County Artists 2019,” which runs through July 8. The Gallery at Mercer is located on the second floor of the Communications Building on Mercer’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. The show features work in a variety of media including oil, acrylic, graphite, mixed media, ceramic, and wood. More than 100 artists submitted work for the jurying process. In a statement, juror Lauren Whearty said, “So many of the artists who submitted to this open call are talented in many ways, so I decided to narrow down the artworks through what I noticed in terms of artists grappling with their materials or subject in an interesting or surprising way. There is a wide range of style and taste here and I tried to be true to the sincerity and rigor which I saw artists bringing to the works. I also thought about

the works in groupings that may have something to do with subject, color, abstraction, or figurative ideas in the hopes that they could create interesting connections once the exhibition is curated.” Alice K. Thompson is the Gallery’s director and curator. Gallery hours are Mondays through Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with Wednesday hours extended until 7 p.m. The exhibition is co-sponsored by and suppor ted through a grant from the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission, with funding from the New Jersey State Council of the Arts/Department of State, a partner of the National Endowment for the Arts.

No SUVs, minivans, or Jeeps were in evidence in those days, nor were seat belts and airbags. There was not even a glimpse on the American horizon of Hondas, Toyotas, or Kias.

IT’S NEW To Us

The longtime family business, now owned by Higgins’ grandson, Christopher (Kip) Higgins and Chris Carnevale, has built an outstanding reputation and is known for exceptional customer loyalty. As one longtime customer put it: “Their word is their bond, and a handshake is their guarantee of dealings that are honorable throughout. They are outstanding people.” Three generations of Higgins men have seen to it that their reputation has remained intact through all the ups and downs of the automobile industry. Following in his father Roy (Murph) Higgins’ footsteps, who owned the garage from 1959 to 1995, Kip Higgins began working in the garage as a boy, pumping gas, washing cars, and then working on them. Being a part of Belle Mead Garage is all he ever wanted to do, he says. He came on board full-time in

1982, and then became owner when his dad semi-retired in 1995. Murph Higgins is still very much on the scene, sharing his knowledge and experience every day. Automotive Resource A Chrysler dealership for 74 years, Belle Mead Garage was one of nearly 800 dealers across the country to lose their franchise in 2009, during the severe economic downturn of that time. However, it continued to be successful as it focused on pre-owned cars, service, and rentals, and it has served as an important automotive resource for its many longtime customers, as well as new ones. And now, Belle Mead Garage has turned another corner. In 2019, it added Massey Ferguson tractors to its inventory of vehicles, and this has been a big success. “Initially, our forecast was to sell 25 tractors the first year, and we actually sold 87,” says co-owner Chris Carnevale, who brought the idea of the tractors to Kip Higgins. Carnevale, a longtime friend of the Higgins family, had originally worked at the Garage when he was in high school. He later moved to Wisconsin, where he became general manager of a Massey Ferguson tractor dealership. Massey-Ferguson is known for high quality tractors and farm machinery. Returning to New Jersey and knowing the long and respected history and reputation of Belle Mead Garage, he thought the tractors would be a perfect fit. He was exactly right!

More Tractors “Massey Ferguson wanted to open in the east, and this was a good opportunity,” he explains. “We are the only Massey Ferguson dealership in New Jersey. “More tractors are sold in the state today than was the case 50 years ago. Then, there were many more larger farms, and they would have two or three tractors. Today, there are fewer big farms, but many more smaller farms, and so more tractors are needed.” “There are not as many professional farmers now, but there are hobby farmers, who do it for their enjoyment,” continues Carnevale. “Some have cows, vineyards, produce, etc. They all need tractors. “Then, there are boutique farmers, who earn their living farming, and custom grow their crops. For example, they might custom-grow certain vegetables for chefs. And they also need tractors.” In addition, as he notes, a number of individuals like to have tractors for assorted purposes, such as clearing the land, cutting the grass, plowing, and even using them as snow blowers. “Also, a lot of nurseries and vineyards in the area are our customers since they need tractors. And, many people in the region have horses, and they’ll need tractors for hay, clearing the land, and other purposes.” Statewide The majority of tractors at Belle Mead Garage are Massey Ferguson, but recently SCAG commercial zero-turn models for cutting grass have been introduced to the inventory.

QUALITY AND SERVICE: “The tractors have brought us new customers and a whole different business opportunity. We’re enjoying this new adventure, and offering the best service for all our customers is always our priority.” Belle Mead Garage owners (from left) Kip Higgins and Chris Carnevale, and former owner Roy (Murph) Higgins, are shown by the Massey Ferguson GC sub-compact tractor. The most popular seller, it is very versatile, and not only cuts grass, but can include the addition of a back hoe and front loader, among many other features. The tractors have proved so popular that the business has gone beyond Mercer, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties, and expanded statewide, as well as into parts of New York and Pennsylvania. “It has definitely exceeded our expectations,” says Carnevale. “Also, sometimes customers will come in for service or to buy a car, and they may not know we have tractors. Then they may become interested in getting a tractor. Or it can be the other way. They’ll come in for a tractor, and maybe see a car they like, or then bring in their own car for service. “We also service tractors, including repair and maintenance. It’s good for a tractor to be checked once a year. We

will pick up and deliver, and in some cases, we make house calls if the tractor is very large. In addition, we have parts for the tractors. “Also, if people are new to tractors, we will provide instruction and information.” Full Circle Noting how life not only takes interesting turns, but sometimes comes full circle, Carnevale points out that Kip Higgins’ grandfather, Leroy Higgins worked for VanZandt Tractors in the 1920s before he opened Belle Mead Garage. Of course, customers still count on the company for its large selection of pre-owned cars, and all have a warranty unless specifically marked, notes Kips Higgins. “Service

is our specialty. We have different generations of customers from the same family, who appreciate our personal attention, which include service reminders and free loaner cars, when needed. “We have stayed small so that we can do everything ourselves, and our customers know that they can depend on us. Now, we are excited about the introduction of tractors, something new that we can offer our customers. We’re very optimistic about the tractors’ future at Belle Mead Garage.” Belle Mead Garage is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 pm., Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (908) 359-8131.

Coming Off Dramatic One-Stroke Win in Ivy Tourney, Princeton Men’s Golf Gained Experience in NCAAs

ill Green sensed that his Princeton University men’s golf team could do something special this spring, although he didn’t really have the numbers to back up that feeling. “I had been telling people all spring long we were going to win the Ivy title,” said Princeton head coach Green. “It was based on a belief in the team we had. There wasn’t any reason for me to think that except I just really thought that we were going to play well.” When the Tigers finished eighth in their Princeton Invitational in the final tune-up before the Ivy League Championships, Green’s vision looked like a pipe dream. “After we got out of the Invitational, I was talking to some friends, saying ‘I don’t know how we can beat Yale, they are really good,’” recalled Green. “Their best player is three shots better than anybody else in the league and their second best player is probably better than almost anybody in the league. If we were going to do it, it was going to require five guys playing well.” Following that blueprint, Princeton made Green look prescient as it won the Ivy tournament by one stroke, carding a 23-over 875 in the three-round competition, with Columbia taking second at 876 and Yale coming in third with a score of 877. “The refrain all week was ‘have the courage to make mistakes and then have the pride to make up for them if you make them,’” said Green. “A lot of times young golf-

ers are more worried about screwing up than they are about making a good decision and swinging freely after it.” Tiger stars Evan Quinn and Sam Clayman displayed that courage to set a tone for the tournament, which was held at the Hidden Creek Club in Egg Harbor, N.J. Junior Quinn fired a 3-under 68 in the opening round while sophomore Clayman was right behind with a 69 as Princeton took an eight-stroke lead over second-place Yale in the team standings. “I don’t think we felt like we played exceptionally well; we thought we had played solid,” said Green. “Evan goes out and shoots a great number, Sam shoots a really good number, and the rest of the week every player did exactly what he needed to do when we needed him to do that.” The Tigers needed some clutch play as the tournament tightened up with Princeton’s lead over Yale dwindling to two strokes after the second round. “Yale had the best team all year long, they had the best players so we knew they were going to come after us,” said Green. “There were a couple of things that we held as beliefs. Yale hadn’t been pushed all year; they have gotten off to great starts and have basically dominated the rest of the teams every tournament so they hadn’t had any pressure on them. We knew that we had a really good driving team, we are not especially long but we put the ball in play. At Hidden Creek, if

you put the ball in play you are going to give yourself a chance to get the ball on the green and maybe make a putt or two. We knew if they were going to beat us, they were going to have to play really, really well.” On the final day of competition, Princeton didn’t play well at the outset as Yale and Columbia both made a charge. “We started poorly in the first six or seven holes, we had lost our lead and we were probably five or six shots back,” said Green. “I am standing in the 10th tee waiting for the first group to make the turn and in my head, I am thinking third place isn’t bad. As soon as that first group came through, it was ‘OK, we have nine holes to win an Ivy title, let’s go get it.’ We had a bunch of birdies and suddenly we had the lead back again on around the 11th hole. We knew we had to play the last three holes somewhere around even par, and fortunately for us we played the last four holes three under as a team.” Emotions were running high for the Tigers after coming out on top in the tightlybunched trio at the top of the leader board. “When the last group goes through and we know we have won, there were lots of hugs everywhere,” said Green as Quinn finished second individually at four-over 214, with Clayman tying for third at 218, freshman Max Ting tying for seventh at +7, sophomore Jake Mayer tying for 22nd at +12, and sopho-

ON COURSE: Members of the Princeton University men’s golf team enjoy the moment as they got ready to compete last month in the NCAA Athens Regional at the University of Georgia’s home course in Athens, Ga. The Tigers won the Ivy League Championship in late April to earn their first trip to the NCAA Regionals since 2013. Princeton ended up finishing 13th of 13 teams in Athens in a valuable learning experience for a young squad that brought a junior, three sophomores, and a freshman to Georgia. (Photo provided courtesy of Princeton’s Office of Athletic Communications) more Jack Roberts tying for 26th at +14. “I remember I walked down the the front edge of the 18th green and turned my back to everybody because I had to get a moment to compose myself. I was emotional, going from where we were two weeks prior to where we ended up there.” Going on to the NCAA Athens, Ga., regional in mid-May, the Tigers struggled in the three-round event, coming in 13th of 13 teams at the site. “It was tough; we went down there and the course was extremely long and very difficult,” said Green, whose team had a cumulative score of +68 at regional that was won by host Georgia with a -8. “They used to host a Web. com event there and it always had the highest scoring average. I think having not been on the stage for a long time, we were a little shell shocked. The guys were a little tired, it

had been a really, really long season.” In Green’s view, his players gained some lessons at the competition that could help them to get back on that national stage. “We do have a very young team; we took a junior, three sophomores, and a freshman to Georgia,” said Green. “They are going to continue to learn how to balance the academic and athletic component. They are gong to continue to learn how to play against the best players. You go to a stage like that and you feel like you have to play perfect and you can’t do that in golf. You have to make the same decisions you have been making all year, you have to make the same swings you have been making all year and hope that some putts will fall. We learned a lot as a team being there, it was a great experience.” With its core of young talent

and an upbeat team chemistry, Green believes that the Tigers can do some great things going forward. “I do feel like the culture that we have is the biggest differentiator; we have got eight guys focused on getting better,” said Green. “We have got eight guys that believe in one another and eight guys that support one another. When you have eight players playing together as one, it is really tough to beat. We have three good freshmen coming in next year. We are going to be a big team but I think we are going to be a deep team. We had year-end meetings with all of the players and the focus of the conversation was listen, the reason we are where we are is because we support one another. It is going to be that much harder with that many players but if we can continue to do it that way, the sky is the limit.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Lightweight Crews Take Silver at IRAs While Tiger Heavyweight Program Shows Depth In mid-May, the Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity eight had a rough day at the Eastern Sprints, fading to fourth place in the grand final. Last Sunday, Princeton’s top boat put that disap pointment behind it, taking second in the grand final at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta on Lake Natoma in Sacramento, Calif. T h is t i m e, t h e T iger s surged to the finish, pushing past four boats as they nearly caught champion Cornell, finishing just .4 seconds behind the Big Red. Princeton clocked a time of 5:44.849 with Cornell just ahead in

5:44.426. It m arke d t he s e cond straight silver medal at the IRA for the top boat and the first time Princeton had earned back-to-back medals at the competition since 2009-10 when the Tigers won the varsity eight race both years. The Princeton women’s lightweight eight matched their male counterparts, taking second in the grand final at the IRA. The Tigers gave perennial champion Stanford a battle, posting a time of 6:37.33 with the Cardinals coming in at 6:32.83. It was Princeton’s first silver medal in the varsity eight at the competition since 2011 while Stan-

ford earned its fifth straight title. W hile t he Tiger men’s heavyweight program didn’t pick up any medals in the eights at the IRA, it showed its depth and balance, advancing to three grand finals. The varsity eight and the second varsity eight each placed sixth with the third var s it y eight com i ng i n fourth. Princeton did pick up one medal at the competition as the varsity four placed third in its grand final to earn bronze. Overall, the Tigers placed fifth in the Ten Eyck Team Trophy standings for a second straight season, scoring 162 points. —Bill Alden

LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT: The Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity eight displays its form in a recent race. Last Sunday, Princeton’s top boat took second in a thrilling grand final at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta in Sacramento, Calif. Turning the race into a nail-biter, the Tigers made a late surge and lost by just .4 seconds to champion Cornell as they earned silver at the IRAs for a second straight year. Princeton’s back-to-back medals are the first time the program has done that since 2009-10 when the Tigers won the varsity eight race both years.

After Suffering Disappointment in NCAA Semis, PU Open Crew Rebounds in Final Day of Action Heading to Indianapo lis last week to compete in the NCA A championship regatta, the Princeton University women’s open crew was primed to excel on the national stage. “I thought our practices were going well between the Ivies and Indy,” said Princeton head coach Lori Dauphiny, whose varsity eight, second varsity eight, and varsity four had each placed first at the Ivy regatta on May 19 as the program qualified for the NCAA competition. “We finished finals; it is always a delicate balance and I felt like we handled it very well. We were ready for Indy when we left.” After a solid first day at the competition on Friday that saw the varsity 8 take first, the second varsity 8 take third and the four come in third in the their heats to advance straight to the semifinals, the Tigers didn’t handle things well a day later. None of the three Princeton boats gained the top-three finish in the semis necessary to make the grand finals and compete for a national title. “We expected more,” said Dauphiny. “When we went through the semis, I think all boats had hoped to make the grand final but especially the first varsity, they had the best chance. To fall short was challenging.” The top boat, which had been undefeated this spring and was seeded second coming into the regatta, was particularly disappointed to not make it into the top six. “I am not exactly sure what happened but it was not a fast race for us,” said Dauphiny, whose crew finished fourth in the semis, one place away from earning a spot in the grand final.

“I think the athletes gave their best. There was no lack of effort. When they finished the race, they felt like they laid it out there and did everything that they could. But I don’t think it was one of our best races.” Wrapping up the competition by competing in the petit, or ‘B’ final, Princeton’s top boat gave its best as it pulled away to victory to finish seventh overall. “It is really hard to come back so I was extremely proud of them for winning the petit final and they did it with a real statement,” said Dauphiny, whose top boat posted a time of 6:11.53 with Yale taking second in 6:14.34. “I think they led from the beginning. They just charged it. It is easy to feel sorry for yourself and they did not. They just stepped right up. I think we had a little moment of wondering and feeling bad and then we had to turn it around and they did, it was really nice to see.” Noting that the second varsity eight went on to place second in its petit final while the varsity four took first, Dauphiny saw the heroics on Sunday as a fitting end to a special spring. “I told them no one can take the season away from you, the season that you had was exceptional,” said Dauphiny, whose program placed seventh overall in the team standings at the NCAAs. “There is no doubt about it, how we all peaked at Ivies and how all of the boats won there and even at nationals when none of the boats made the finals, they all turned around and just stomped it on Sunday.” Dauphiny credited her senior group with making an

exceptional contribution to the program. “The seniors had tremendous impact on our team, they were leaders and they have been for some time, especially this year,” said Dauphiny. “They led by example. They were always team players. They never separated themselves from the rest of the team or the group. Sometimes seniors kind of move on.” Two of those seniors, cocaptains Claire Collins and Emily Kallfelz, separated themselves, earning prestigious individual honors. Collins was named the 2019 winner of the C. Otto von Kienbusch Award as Princeton’s outstanding senior female athlete while Kallfelz has been recognized by USRowing. “It is a huge honor and it is rare; rowing is one of those sports that not everyone understands, it is hard to calculate the value of a rower,” said Dauphiny reflecting on the award received by Collins and noting that Lauren Barnard of the second varsity eight was awarded the Class of 1916 Cup, given to the senior letter winner who achieved the highest academic standing at graduation. “They are both amazing, Emily was the U23 Athlete of the Year with USRowing this year and then Claire received this award.” Looking ahead, Dauphiny believes that valuable lessons passed on by the seniors will benefit the program in the years to come. “The younger group really looked up to the senior class and the seniors taught them what it takes,” said Dauphiny. “I look forward to next year. There is talent in the group and, even more importantly, there is enthusiasm in the group.” —Bill Alden

Former Tufts Coach Berube To Head PU Women’s Hoops

Carla Berube, who has won big as both a college player at the University of Connecticut and for the last 17 years as the head coach at Tufts University, has been named the head coach of the Princeton Universit y women’s basketball team, Director of Athletics Mollie Marcoux Samaan said last week. Berube has also coached internationally with USA Basketball, leading the U.S. Under-16 national team to a gold medal at the FIBA Americas and the Under-17 national team to a gold medal at the World Championships. She succeeds Cour tney Banghar t, who left Princeton to take over the head coaching position at the University of North Carolina. Berube brings a long history of success as both a player and coach to Princeton. She won 80 percent of her games while coaching Tufts, going 384-96 in 17 seasons while reaching the NCAA Division III final twice, the Final Four four times and the Sweet 16 nine times, including each of the last eight. Berube won the 2015 Pat Summitt Trophy as the Division III National Coach of the Year and was a three-time regional coach of the year. The Princeton program she is joining has been to the NCAA tournament eight times in the last 10 years, with two WNIT trips as well. Princeton has won seven Ivy League championships in the last 10 years, including the last two, and the Tigers return, among others, twotime Ivy League Player of the Year Bella Alarie and first-team All-Iv y League selection Carlie Littlefield. A 1997 UConn grad with a degree in sociology, Berube scored 1,381 points during her career, and the Huskies went 132-8 in her four years, for a winning percentage of .942. The highlight of her career was the 1995 NCAA championship, which capped a perfect 35-0 season. She played in two Final Fours and also was part of four Big East championships. After playing professionally in the American Basketball League, Berube began her coaching career as an assistant coach at Providence College before becoming the head coach at Tufts in 2002. Under Berube’s leadership, Tufts reached the Division III championship game in 2016 and 2017. Her final Tufts team went 28-3, won the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) championship, and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament this past winter. She is a member of the Connecticut Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and the New England Basketball Hall of Fame. In addition to the 2015 national Coach of the Year honor, Berube is also a three-time regional Coach of the Year, a four-time NESCAC Coach of the Year and a two-time USA Basketball Development Coach of the Year.

John Lovett, a multi-talented offensive force during his time with the Princeton University football team, is the 2019 winner of the William Winston Roper Trophy, awarded since 1936 to the outstanding senior male athlete at Princeton Lovett finished his career as a two-time Bushnell Cup winner as the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, in 2016 and then, after missing the 2017 season due to injury, again this past fall. He also became the eighth Princeton football player in the last 100 years to be a two-time first-team All-American and was a three-time first-team All-Ivy League selection. During his time at Princeton, the 6’3, 230-pound Lovett scored touchdowns by throwing, rushing, and receiving, and was a nearly unstoppable short-yardage weapon. O ver his Tiger career, Lovett rushed for 42 touchdowns, made two TD receptions, and had 31 touchdown passes. A histor y major from Wantagh, N.Y., Lovett recently signed a free agent contract with the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL.

Rowing Star Collins Earns Von Kienbusch Award

Claire Collins, a four-time Ivy League champion from the Princeton Universit y women’s open first varsity eight, is the 2019 winner of the C. Otto von Kienbusch Award as the outstanding senior female athlete. She is also a two-time AllAmerican and All-Region rower, with those honors yet to be announced for 2019. In 2018, she was a firstteam All-American as the Tiger finished fifth at the NCAA Championships Grand Final. Collins has rowed with the varsity eight in each of her four seasons with Princeton, having lost just three regular-season meets, and none as a senior. At the most recent Ivy League championships, she helped Princeton win by nearly four full seconds. Collins, an economics major from McLean, Va., also participated with the United States at the U-23 World Championships in each of the last three years, picking up a silver medal in 2018.

where she taught biology, life skills, and sports to underprivileged youth in rural Vietnam. Holuba, a psychology major and former All-America and Bushnell Cup finalist for Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J., suffered his second ACL tear in as many years right before the 2018 football opener. While injury abruptly ended his playing career and NFL dreams, it did not stop the two-time captain from inspiring the team to the Ivy League title and first undefeated season in 54 years. Holuba displayed resolve and selflessness, becoming the emotional team leader, a beloved mentor, and an extension of the coaching staff to his peers. Coaches and teammates alike credited his unforgettable team address following his injury as the catalyst to this historic season. Off the field, he served as the chapter president of Uplifting Athletes, raising over $60,000 to fight rare diseases. He also partnered with Powers Promise in the fight against muscular dystrophy, and he participated in service projects in support of the PVC and local nonprofit, Isles, Inc. Jordan was a three-year starter and captain of the Ivy League champion women’s basketball team, yet her accomplishments and impact to the community extended well beyond the court. Jordan, a philosophy major who hails from Manassas, Va., immersed herself in service and leadership opportunities on campus, including serving as the chair of the Diversity and Equity Committee of the Princeton Undergraduate Student Government, a representative on the Community Service Inter-Club Council, a University Chapel deacon, and a Student-Athlete Wellness Leader. Last summer, she completed a Princeton Internship in Civic Service at

LIFT, a national nonprofit that empowers parents and caregivers to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Earlier this year, Jordan was recognized as a National Rhodes Scholar finalist in addition to being Princeton’s first female student-athlete to receive the University’s prestigious Moses Taylor Pyne Prize. Wilson, a two-time league champion and the all-time assist leader for the Princeton men’s water polo team, epitomized the values of achieve, ser ve, and lead both in the pool and in his communit y. An economics major, Wilson, a native of Pacific Palisades, Calf., was a leader for the Varsity Student-Athlete Advisor y Committee ( VSA AC ) and the Student Athlete Service Council (SASC), serving as president of both organizations this year.

Women’s Rower Barnard Wins Class of 1916 Cup

Women’s open rower Lauren Barnard was awarded the Class of 1916 Cup, given to the senior letter winner who, while continuing to compete through his or her senior year, achieved the highest academic standing at graduation. Barnard, an economics major from Wellesley Hills, Mass., is a four-year member of the second varsity eight, and she helped Princeton to gold medals in the event at the last two Ivy League Championships. Her senior thesis was titled “The Impact of Acquisitions on Hospital Capacity and Investment,” and in addition to her outstanding work as a rower and student, she was also on the community service inter-club council and a community service chair for Cloister Inn for two years.

3 Princeton Lax Alums Make U.S. Lax Hall of Fame

Three legendary Princeton University lacrosse players

tus in 2001. Boyle earned All-Ivy honors three times (2002, 2003, 2004) and was named the Ivy League’s Player of the Year in 2002 and 2004. Princeton captured the Ivy title in each of his four seasons, and won the national championship in 2001. Boyle concluded his career with 70 goals, 162 assists, and 232 career points.

Jackson McCarthy and Jack Phelan came away from the Group 4 boys’ state championship meet last Saturday with new personal records. The performances by the Princeton High seniors nearly delivered a second straight state title for the program but the Tigers were edged by champion Franklin, 4443, which had sprinter Mario Heslop accounting for 30 individual points and sharing six more in the final relay. “Obviously a 1-point loss is always going to hurt pretty bad,” said McCarthy. “We’re trying to defend our state title. We came with four or five fewer scorers than we had last year. We’re a lot thinner this year. We dealt with a crazy amount of injuries this year. We’re a group of fighters. When someone does something incredible, it inspires you. To come one-point short to a team that has one man that scored 30-some hurts. It’s hard to beat a team with him on it. We did everything we could. That’s all we wanted to do, say we did everything we could to walk away with that title.” PHS came close to the championship only because of efforts like those of McCarthy and Phelan, who both performed far ahead of their seedings. McCarthy was the 10th seed in the 800 meters, but delivered a personal record that also broke the 38-year-old PHS record of John Perkins when he ran 1:53.15 for fifth place. “It’s a record that’s been staring at me ever since I joined the team,” said McCarthy. “It’s something I knew I couldn’t graduate without taking down. A lot of records stood since 1981, which was the greatest team in school history and we’re showing we’re the best team since then. To break that record was one of the greatest accomplishments of my career. To do that in a meet that benefitted the team greatly made it more special. I’m looking forward to breaking my own record in these next couple meets.” The top six finishers in each event plus six wild cards from all groups advance to next Saturday’s Meet of Champions at Northern Burlington High. McCarthy received a wild card to the 1,600 after placing 10th in 4:20.26. Phelan is headed to his first MOC after taking sixth in the triple jump with a personal-record of 44’7. “I never thought I’d come close to Meet of Champs,” said Phelan. “I only started jumping last year. I thought, ‘Maybe if I started as a freshman, maybe I’d have a chance.’ I still can’t believe how far I’ve come.” Phelan made a tough choice last year that benefitted the Tiger squad over the last two years. “I had only done track in the winter season my sophomore year,” said Phelan. “I just did high jump and hurdles and I wasn’t too good. In the spring of freshman and sophomore year, I would do golf. My junior year, I had to make decision to do triple jump or golf, and I would have been the best player on the golf team. I wanted to get better at something and hang out with my friends on the track team. It was a tough choice. At first, my parents weren’t too happy with it. Now they’re glad I chose it.”

In addition to McCarthy and Phelan, PHS had others who came up with huge performances to put the squad in position to compete for the team title. Senior and Princetonbound throwing star Paul Brennan won the discus at 181’3 and was third in the shot put with a throw of 56’11. Senior and Dartmouth commit Nils Wildberg won the long jump with a personal best of 23’11 and took fourth in both the 100 and 200 meters, with the latter controversially after tying the third-place finisher. Simon Schenk placed third in pole vault when he cleared 15-feet. “We’re more proud of this group than we are of last year’s team,” said PHS associate head coach Ben Samara. “Everything they’ve been through and the freak injuries and heartbreak, they never stopped believing in themselves. It’s really a testament to them. We’re still missing a few pieces at the group meet, and they fought to the very end.” The Tigers have produced some of their top efforts down the stretch, highlighted by Phelan as he bettered his sectional triple jump that was a near 2-feet improvement over his Mercer County Championships jump. “It’s really just been the intensity of the meets and the pressure of having to do well pushing me to run faster in my run and jump harder,” said Phelan. “It’s also been my teammates. We’ve been pushing each other to perform to the best of our abilities. The team mentality has really helped.” McCarthy was thinking similarly as he ran the 800. For the first time that he could remember, he did not look at the timing clock after the first of two laps. He knew it was fast and he knew the dynamic field would make the effort painful. “I just knew I needed to keep my pedal down,” said McCarthy. “When I found myself in 6th or 7th, I said I could get points for the team. That last 200 is all about heart, and that’s what I like. I like to bring it all the way across the line and get points for the team.” The time was a huge bonus but McCarthy’s first priority was helping the team. “My coach, he kept saying, you could steal one or two points,” said McCarthy. “My distance coach said if you break the school record, you could still not score. I was very shocked with the time. When I saw the clock, low 1:50s, I thought the clock froze. To PR by 3 seconds was a surprise. To get fifth was a surprise. Those are the surprises I live for. That’s how we make these big runs, by keeping surprising each other.” Due to their hard work and dedication, the accomplishments of McCarthy and Phelan aren’t a surprise to the PHS coaches. They’ve watched them earn their top marks. “Jackson really went up to the mile from the 800,” said Samara. “He’s always been plugging away at the 800. There was this period of time where he was struggling to break 2:00. Once he broke 2:00, it’s been this consistent downward trajectory timewise. Through all the adversity, it’s always been about the team and he’s always been positive. He puts his head down and works. Guys like Jackson and Jack are

what our program is about. It’s what we hope everyone to become, not performance wise, but character wise.” McCarthy’s 800 time allowed him to qualify for the championship division of the New Balance Nationals in Greensboro, N.C., and changed his mindset about what to run at the MOC. “If I had got out in the mile and 800, I wanted to do the mile,” said the American University-bound McCarthy. “I’m assuming going forward, the mile and 1500 will be more of my event in college. But my coaches have changed my mind that after running 1:53, it’s time to run with the top guys. I can’t pass up that opportunity. I want to take advantage of the field and see if I can surprise myself again.” Phelan, too, has shocked himself with his development. He will continue to compete next year at the Pratt Institute while matriculating in its fiveyear architecture plan. His seasons of PHS track have inspired him to continue. “It’s been one of the best experiences of my life,” Phelan said. “Just to see our team come together and do so well at such a high level, it’s something I’ll never forget. It’s something I’ll take to my next adventures. I’ve learned so much from this group and they’re some of my

best friends. We set the bar high for the next group of athletes. I hope they can match us if not beat us.” There are still more records to achieve. The Tigers have the MOC and then some will compete at nationals. “We’ve got Paul who’s the favorite in the discus, Nils is the favorite in the long jump,” said Samara in assessing the team’s prospects heading into the MOC. “One thing we weren’t able to do last year is take home any individual states titles so they want to do that. Simon Schenk and Jackson McCarthy are in top 10 and have a good chance to come home with medals. We’re looking to make some big noise. Paul and Nils have been gearing up all year for this meet. They’re cutting down some of their training now and trying to peak for the Meet of Champions and nationals, and 190 feet and 24 feet have been the targets for those guys. PHS is looking for one more big New Jersey meet after coming off a heartbreaking, but thrilling runner-up finish which was fueled by having several athletes deliver peak efforts at the right time. “It showed that every point mattered,” said Samara. “We knew we had a lot on the top end. A lot of people see Franklin has Mario. Both teams picked up points on the back end to separate themselves from rest of field. Jack Phelan had another PR.

Fueled by Work Ethic, Team Camaraderie, PHS Boys’ Golf Won Central Sectional Title Even though the Princeton High boys’ golf team finished seventh in the Mercer County Tournament in early May, Sheryl Severance saw that performance as a harbinger of good things to come in state competition. “The county tournament is tough, you have the private schools like Pennington and Peddie,” said PHS head coach Severance. “If it was just the public schools, we were right in there; WW/P-North and Allentown only beat us by a couple of strokes Competing in the South/ Central Group 4 sectional at Charleston Springs in Millstone on May 14, PHS displayed its toughness, placing fourth overall and first among Central teams to earn the sectional title. The triumph caught Severance by surprise as she was initially focusing on the exploits of PHS sophomore star Adam MacMillan, who carded a two-over 74 to take third individually at the competition. “I didn’t even know we won Central because we

w e r e s o e xc i te d a b o u t Adam,” recalled Severance. “The scores were coming in and we didn’t know if he was low and then a couple of lower scores came in and we knew he was going to be in that top group. Atticus [Lynch] comes in and says we won Central Jersey sectional and I was like what!” MacMillan has come on very strong for the Tigers. “Ada m is a ver y s m ar t player; he thinks about his shot,” said Severance of MacMillan, who went on to compete individually at the Tournament of Champions at the Hopewell Valley Golf Club where he tied for 51st with an 11-over 83. “He does the right thing. He has a very well-rounded game. His putting is good, his driver is good. Golf is his thing.” Senior stalwar ts Harr y Skopas and Lynch brought their A-games to the sectional with Skopas tying for 15th with an 80 and Lynch tying for 19th with an 81. “They were very excited, they both played well,” said Severance, who had senior

Abhi Vachani shoot an 83 and junior Jonathan Lin card a 94 at the competition. “They both played their game; they are both very good players.” While disappointed to not advance to the team phase of the Tournament of Champions by virtue of not finishing in the top three at the South/ Central competition, winning the sectional title was still special for the Tigers. “It was really big for the team,” said Severance. “We are there for each other and everybody was excited. It was good for our morale.” A combination of hard work and camaraderie helped pave the way to the triumph. “They are all very dedicated,” said Severance. “We get together and it is a team. It is an individual sport but we play as a team.” With MacMillan returning at the top of the lineup, PHS should be a formidable team going forward. “We are going to lose three of our top six,” said Severance, who will also welcome back junior Lin and freshman Christopher Shen. “They are there for each other which is really nice.” —Bill Alden

SPOILS OF VICTORY: Members of the Princeton High boys’ golf team display the plaque and medals they earned for winning the Central Group 4 sectional at Charleston Springs in Millstone last month. Sophomore Adam MacMillan led the way for PHS, carding a two-over 74 to take third individually at the competition. The team’s lineup at the sectional also included Harry Skopas, Atticus Lynch, Abhi Vachani, and Jonathan Lin. MacMillan went on to compete individually at the Tournament of Champions at the Hopewell Valley Golf Club where he tied for 51st with an 11-over 83.

Stuart Lacrosse Overcame Shaky 1-4 Start, Righting the Ship as Seniors Led the Way After getting off to a 1-4 start, it looked like it could be a rough spring for the Stuart Country Day School lacrosse team. But Stuart reeled off five straight wins to right the ship, showing that it wasn’t ab out to fold af ter t he bumpy beginning. “It was the consistency that was working for us once we got a better transition game down,” said Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik. “That is when we were really getting to know each other’s strengths and who was going to be playing where. To the kids’ credit, we were able to move many kids around to different positions.” While the Tartans fell in the second round of the Mercer County Tournament and the state Prep B quarters after posting wins in both tourneys, Bruvik liked the way her kids competed to the end. “We played tough teams down the stretch,” said Bruvik, whose squad lost 18-5 to Princeton Day School in the MCT and then fell 16-2 to Montclair Kimberley in the Prep B competition. “The kids played hard and never quit; that is all you can ask for. We did get better.” In reflecting on the spring, which saw the Tartans finish with a 6-7 record, Bruvik credited her senior group with holding things together. “The seniors led the team; they had each other’s backs against those tough teams,” said Bruvik of her Class of 2019 which included Grace Sheppard, Bre Williams, Bey-Shana Clark, Lauren Magnani, Meghan Leibowitz, and Emma Shaw. “They worked hard, the communication definitely got better.” Freshman standout Jaelyn Bennett gave Stuart some stellar work on attack. “Jaelyn has great talent, she brought great knowledge of the game to all of us and shared all of that,” said Bruvik. “She was a force on attack. She scored over 40 goals and was our leading scorer.” Looking ahead, Bruvik believes that junior Caroline Mullen and sophomore Catherine Martin should be key leaders next spring. “We have some good kids who will be juniors and se-

niors next year,” added Bruvik, whose returners include sophomores Molly Lagay, Janiah Adams, and Hailey Hawes. “Caroline can play anywhere. She can play offense, she can play defense, and we can put her in the midfield. We asked Catherine to play much more defense this year for us because we really wanted to work on building from the backfield up. She was great down there with Bey and Bre.” The Tartans also got a great contribution collectively from their freshman group. “Molly Shore was making saves and keeping us in those games which was huge,” said Bruvik. “That allowed us to put the ball in and win some games. She never played goalie before and we really felt like

she was the hero this year. She was always eager to learn and put her heart and soul into it. Kaitlyn Magnani had a fabulous year for us, we put her at center and we couldn’t ask for more. She was good at taking and winning the draws. Haley Sullivan had a nice season on attack. Trinity Broughton gave us help at both ends. We asked her to play a little bit of defense and she also did a great job of contributing on attack. Adrianna Palmer was very steady at midfield and defense.” In Bruvik’s view, Stuart has a nice foundation in place heading into next season. “Those kids gained a lot of experience; we still had some new kids, first timers learning the game,” said Bruvik. “With their game sense, Adrianna and Kaitlyn should feel very comfortable coming back next year and being major contributors.” —Bill Alden

BRINGING IT: Stuart Country Day School lacrosse player Kaitlyn Magnani brings the ball upfield in a game this spring.

raised in St. Albans, Queens, Mr. Williams was commonly referred to as “Kam,” a nickname short for “Kamau,” a name given to him while he was a student at Brown University, by famed Jazz musician Sun Ra. Mr. Williams’ path to a career in writing was circuitous. He was a graduate of Brooklyn Tech High School in New York City and earned his Bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in Black Literature in 1974. While receiving his Master’s in English from Brown University in 1975, he first attempted a career in screenwriting at Chicago’s WTTW, a PBS affiliate TV station.

ately noticeable in a crowd. His diverse life experiences and base of knowledge (he was a polymath who read a book a week) made him a compelling conversationalist and led to a brief but recurring guest appearance on the radio show, The Howard Stern Show. It was that experience that later sparked his career in jour nalism when a fam ily friend and writer at the Princeton Packet, a local newspaper in his hometown Princeton, NJ, recommended that Mr. Williams write a film review of Howard Stern’s 1997 biographical film Private Parts. Mr. Williams’ intense work ethic and glowing journalistic reputation led to extensive work interviewing celebrities associated with upcoming film and book releases, including Quentin Tarantino, Denzel Washington, Mel Brooks, Russell Simmons, LeBron James, and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, among many others. Mr. Williams was also a staunch supporter of civil rights-related causes, publishing countless Op-Eds on the topic and later joined the NAACP Image Awards Nominating Committee. Outside of his w riting career, he had a deep passion for music and boasted a large collection of albums. He enjoyed long daily walks in nature, was an avid sports fan, and a passionate Little League baseball coach. He was also an enthusiastic participant in weekly trivia nights with a large group of friends at a local bar in Princeton, NJ. He is survived by many friends, four siblings (Law-

rence, Daryl, Teresa, and Rod), and his second wife of 25 years, Susan, and stepson, Nicholas. A memorial service will be held at the Princeton Garden Theatre on June 29.

MOLD AND REMEDIATION Mold is ever present and can simply be a nuisance or can cause health issues. The key is to identifying what type of mold is in your home. Mold likes moisture so you may see it growing in the grout of the tile in the shower or in the basement, in crawl spaces and on walls. It is worth the cost to hire a professional for remediation. Sealing off the infected area, using HEPA scrubbers and vacuums are able to capture the tiny mold particles in their entirety are all services a good remediation company will offer. Professionals use antimicrobial chemicals to clean the infected area after demolition. Once the area is treated, you may want to run a dehumidifier and consider taking it one more step, have the area treated to be resistant to water damage. Good remediation companies are able to clearly communicate a remediation plan, use professional equipment and have years of experience.

Are your trees drowning? A much wetter than normal winter and early spring has left many trees sitting in soil saturated with water. Too much water at the base of a tree can cause a myriad of problems. While some trees are suited to survive occasional floods, most are not. In addition, as a tree becomes older, its ability to adapt to abrupt and extreme environmental changes decreases. How to look for flood injury:

Flood injur y is usually expressed through changes in the foliage. One common symptom is the yellowing of foliage caused by a decrease in the amount of chlorophyll (green pigment) in the leaves. When flood conditions are prolong ed, root diebac k occurs. During root dieback, soil is so saturated that there is not enough available oxygen. Without the proper balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide, roots can’t survive. Symptoms of flood injury, in the order that they develop on the foliage: • Slight wilting or drooping of the foliage •Yellowing and browning (necrosis) of leaf edges • Browning in the center of the leaf

What to do: The best prevention for this problem is to avoid planting flood-intolerant trees in areas that are frequently flooded. There are a variety of wetland trees and shrubs that can be planted instead. There are not many practical short-term solutions other than improving drainage. Whenever changes in drainage are made, the impact to all the affected landscape and landscape plants needs to be considered. Avoid creating problems for flood tolerant plants by providing drainage for intolerant plants.
