Fraga, Cohen Look Like Town Council Winners In Democratic Primary In unofficial, incomplete results reported by the Mercer County Clerk’s Office on July 14, as the counting continues, incumbents Leticia Fraga with 3,255 votes (40.43 percent) and David Cohen with 2,871 votes (35.66 percent) appear to have won positions on the November ballot as Democratic nominees for two available three-year terms on Princeton Council. Contender Dina Shaw has received 1,903 votes (23.64 percent). Mark Freda, running unopposed, won the Democratic nomination for a four-year term as mayor to replace Liz Lempert, who will step down at the expiration of her term at the end of 2020. No Republican candidates have filed for the mayoral or council election in Princeton. The July 7 primary election, postponed from June 2, was conducted mostly by mail, and the Mercer County Board of Elections is still counting the paper ballots, which include provisional ballots and a few more vote-by-mail ballots that were postmarked by election day and arrived by July 14. The November election now becomes the focal point on everybody’s radar. “My office is already gearing up for the general election in November,” said Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami- Covello. “As soon as this election is certified on July 24, we will begin preparations for November’s election.” School board candidates must file their petitions by July 27, with three seats up for grabs on the Princeton Public School Board of Education, and on August 10 the Clerk’s Office draws for ballot position for the general election. Ballot prep and printing follow soon afterwards. “There really is no down time this year,” SollamiCovello said. With a presidential election and more contested races on the ballot than there were in last week’s primary, Sollami-Covello anticipated a much higher turnout in November. “We do feel this primary election was a good test run for us,” she said. “It gave us practical experience as to what would be required to conduct an all vote-by-mail election if that is what is ordered by the governor for the November election.” Sollami-Covello pointed out that the clerk’s office has learned better processes for mailing out the ballots, as well as “better ways to direct the mailing and Continued on Page 11

Council Approves Affordable Housing Plan Princeton Council voted Monday in favor of the town’s Third Round Housing Plan and Fair Share Plan. The governing body also approved zoning ordinances allowing for the construction of additional affordable housing, including rezoning of portions of Nassau Street, Route 206, a parcel at Terhune Road and Harrison Street, and Princeton Community Village. Council also approved the introduction of a zoning ordinance for additional housing at Franklin Avenue and Witherspoon Street, voted in favor of a bond ordinance for police body cameras, and funding for road projects with grant monies attached. The approval of the housing plan is significant because it is the first that combines elements of plans from the former Borough and Township. Princeton entered into a settlement agreement with Fair Share Housing Center late last year to establish the town’s third round affordable housing obligations. The preliminary compliance efforts were approved by Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson in February. The final hearing before the judge is August 12. Mayor Liz Lempert called the plan an important milestone. “In our country, unfortunately, your zip code determines your destiny,” she said. “Princeton’s is the kind where if you live here, it can really change
your life. We talk about affordable housing in really sterile terms. But every unit is someone’s future home, and in that home is a family, and that family’s life can be transformed. For sure, our community is not perfect, and we have a lot of work to do. And all of us here at the meeting know that. But it is also true that living in a place like Princeton opens up opportunities that are life-changing.” Lempert said there were three goals in putting together the plan: that it was
rooted in smart growth, near schools, jobs, transportation and businesses; that it allowed for growth as a community in a sustainable way; and that the affordable housing was spread throughout the town. Princeton’s Planning Board reviewed six ordinances at its meeting on July 9. Four of the six were voted on by Council. The two remaining ordinances, which are related to properties at Princeton Shopping Center and were the subject of some objections from some community Continued on Page 7
No New COVID Cases in the Past 2.5 Weeks; Health Dept., Business Community Plan Ahead No new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Princeton over the past two and a half weeks, as the town continues to focus on opening up in the most effective ways without jeopardizing the safety of residents and visitors. The state has also succeeded in maintaining relatively stable numbers of new cases, deaths, and hospitalizations in recent weeks, with the numbers having fallen significantly from their peaks in April. “We are working hard to maintain our lower incidence but must remind ourselves that we arrived at this place of lower incidence in large part because
of massive changes to our daily lives of social distancing, masking, and being mindful of our own health,” said Princeton Health Officer Jeff Grosser. Grosser warned of possible dangers in the coming weeks. “New Jersey is one of just a couple of states that continue to see lower and lower daily incidence rates,” he said. “Unfortunately New Jersey is beginning to see an increase in younger adults testing positive for COVID-19, mainly attributed to social gatherings and, specifically, beach-related activity.” He added, “At the Princeton Health Continued on Page 12

YOUNG FUNDRAISERS: For four hours last Thursday, July 9, three young Montgomery residents sold fresh lemonade and cookies at a stand on Spring Hill and Viburnum roads. Emmy Stenull, 12, Alexandra Kasmatis, 9, and Allie Martin, 11, ended up with a total of $333, all of which was donated to the COVID-19 Response Solidarity Fund.

Featuring gifts that are distinctly Princeton NIGHT OUT AT THE DRIVE-IN: Fans of the Acme Screening Room are enthusiastic about the Saturday night “Carpool Cinema” events taking place this summer in a parking lot near the theater in Lambertville. The film series runs through the end of August.

Parking Lot in Lambertville Becomes a Drive-in Theater
Since taking over the former Acme market on South Union Street in Lambertville eight years ago, the Acme Screening Room has been h o s t i n g d o c u m e n t a r i e s, discussions, and related
events for a devoted audience of film fans. While the pandemic has put a stop to in-person events inside the building, organizers have come up with a way to keep patrons engaged.

“Car pool Cinema” has relo c ate d t he ac t ion to a parking lot behind the Spokeworks building at 204 North Union Street, just a few blocks away. The summer series has been hosting filmgoers who watch a big screen from inside, or just outside their vehicles, while practicing social distancing. The convivial gatherings begin with a half hour of live music and continue with screenings once the sky grows dark. Audience members are encouraged to bring their own food, but refreshments for sale go beyond popcorn. Thai Tida is providing Thai street food of chicken, tofu, or port satay, plus Thai iced tea and sodas. “It’s an alternative way to get to the movies,” said Donna Muchnicki, Acme Screening Room’s executive director. “We’ve been seeing pop-up drive-ins around the country, and we’ve had some requests over the years to have some outdoor screenings. We’ve grown a lot in the past few years, so we’re finally able to do it. And with the pandemic, it just made sense.” Judging from comments made by patrons in their cars in a short video advertising the program on the organization’s website, acmescreeningroom.org, the series is a hit. Last Saturday’s film was Yesterday; future titles include The Blues Brothers, Bohemian Rhapsody, and more to be announced. The series runs through the end of August. “We base it a bit on what we know people like,” said Muchnicki. “It’s kind of a mix. We’re playing around with it. We usually do documentaries and that kind of thing, and we wanted to do some more popular films. We’re trying to be a little creative with our programming.”
The venture is done in partnership with the city of Lambertville and Spreen M or tg a g e. L a m b e r t v i l l e businesses MSMJ Associates and Robustwealth donated the space. Enter tainment before each screening is by local musicians. John Beacher will perform on July 18, and Sam Ryan is the musical guest on July 25. “We wanted to suppor t local musicians who haven’t had a place to work during all of this,” said Muchnicki. “Plus, it’s nice to give them an outdoor venue.”

Rider Joins Amicus Brief Challenging ICE rules
Rider University President Dr. Gregory G. Dell’Omo announced July 13 that the University has joined New York University and a number of other institutions in signing an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit filed by Harvard University and MIT against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, which would prohibit international students from coming to or staying in the United States if they attend a school that offers only online courses during the coronavirus pandemic. “R ider Universit y welcomes students from around the world who seek to be educated and suppor ted as active members of our inclusive and vibrant living and learning community,” D e l l ’O m o s a i d . “ T h e s e rules, abruptly issued during a worldwide health pandemic, are troublesome to all international students as institutions of higher education move to modes of instruction that are aimed at keeping our communities safe and healthy. We are proud to stand with other institutions of higher education all across this country in our steadfast support of international students. As an inclusive community, these rules are inconsistent with Rider’s core values.” Har vard and MIT filed the lawsuit in Federal District Court in Boston on July 8. The first hearing for the suit, which seeks a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order, was scheduled for Tuesday, July 14. The amicus brief which Rider joined was filed by the Proskauer law firm. Rider University announced its Resolved and Ready plan for the fall semester in June, which allows for both in-person and remote instruction. Dell’Omo said, “Our plan ensures the highest level of academic instruction while also working to protect the health and safety of Rider’s campus community. While we await the outcome of this lawsuit, we will continue working closely with our international students to ensure they are able to register for in-person courses under our hybrid model and therefore be in compliance with these new rules.” More information on Rider’s Resolved and Ready plan can be found at www.rider. edu/resolved-and-ready.

Question of the Week:
What brings you to the march today?
(Asked Sunday at the BlackLivesMatter: Equality March at Princeton Family YMCA)
Allison: “Our mom read an article that this was going on and we thought that it was important to come out and support the movement.” Lauren: “I’ve been posting a lot about Black Lives Matter, and I feel like there’s more to do than just posting stuff. It’s a good feeling to know that there are ways to get out and be a part of change.” —Allison and Lauren Williams, Princeton
“I’m speaking today. Sam, the PU head volleyball coach (coorganizer), reached out to me, and I’ve been speaking with Shariese (lead organizer) and am just happy to be here, do whatever they want me to do, and show support.” —Elijah Barnes, Bayville
Scott: “I think the more I learn about the last several hundred years, and even the past several decades, the angrier I get that it took us this long to force some change. So, I think it’s important that we all show that we support all types of people and especially that Black lives matter.” Aqua: “It’s important to show up, because we represent our community and we want this to be an example of a community.” Leigh: “I think this change that’s happening now has been forever coming. To be part of this movement alongside of my daughter is extra special on a personal level, because this is something I have been hoping for since before she was born.” —Scott Koster, Pennington with Aqua and Leigh Withers, Lawrenceville
Nakeisha: “I come to this event today because I am one of the presenters, and I am the founder of Black Mothers Rising. I had trepidations with my children coming out into society with the racial inequality and the systemic racism that still prevails in this country. So I am here today to do my part in trying to put an end to it.” Kiyah: “I am here today not only to support my mother, but also to support my community and to make sure that this doesn’t just stop with police brutality, but that we bring it to the school systems, and to any other system that needs to be fixed and rectified.” Korian: “I am here to here today to support my Black brothers and sisters and just to speak against the inequalities in the Black communities.” Roy: “I’m here to support not only Nakeisha, but also to be here as a part of history and society and to make a movement to let everyone know that it’s not acceptable anymore the way certain people of color are being treated.” —Roy, Kiyah, Korian, and Nakeisha Ammons
25 additional units, making it one campus. The bonding approved for various infrastructure projects include improvements to Hilltop Park and Witherspoon Street, drainage work at the town’s landfill, and improvements on Rosedale Road. Public hearings for these projects will be held July 27. —Anne Levin

members, will be considered and given public hearings at the next Council meeting on July 27. One of the four ordinances is for three overlay districts located along Nassau Street and a small portion along Wiggins and Tulane streets. One is 100 percent residential, located on the property of The Jewish Center. The other two are sites for possible mixed-use alternatives, with non-residential use on the first floor and residential use above. Those two require the retention of certain buildings that have historic character. The ordinance that refers to the district along Route 206 as it approaches Cherry Valley Road seeks to transform the corridor from single-use, small scale development into something denser, with a mixed-use framework. Buildings would have commercial use on the ground floor, with residences on the upper floor, 20 percent of which would be set aside for affordable housing. The ordinance approved for the corner of Terhune Road and Harrison Street seeks to allow for multi-family dwellings with 20 percent set aside for affordable housing. The ordinance pertaining to the existing Princeton Community Village development would require new zoning, and allow for the creation of
COVID-Related Guide For Arts Educators
Following the June 29 release of the New Jersey Department of Education’s The Road Back, Restart, and Recover Plan for Education guidance to reopen schools, Arts Ed NJ has just unveiled September Ready Fall 2020 Guidance for Arts Education, a comprehensive, 126-page document offering practical guidance for K-12 school administrators and arts educators seeking to provide meaningful arts instruction for their students. More than 130 arts administrators, educators, practitioners, and associations leaders have joined together to develop the strategies, plans, and solutions needed for arts instruction to be delivered to students in a way that addresses, first and foremost, the necessary health, safety, and well-being considerations for students, faculty and staff. The guide addresses the various learning environments New Jersey schools are considering including in-
(609) 683-8900
person, hybrid, and remote learning for each of the arts disciplines (dance, music, theatre, visual arts) as well as complementary arts and culture resources. The guidance is broken down by major categories, including: Scheduling, Facilities and Social Distancing Requirements; Instructional Strategies; Equipment, Materials and Supplies; Technology Considerations and Resources; and Professional Development. The guide reinforces the 2020 New Jersey Student Learning Standard for Visual and Performing Arts (NJSLS-VPA), adopted by The New Jersey State Board of Education on June 3. The NJSLS-VPA outlines what students must be taught in the arts and sets the foundation upon which school districts craft instruction. The report also keeps New Jersey at the forefront of arts education in the United States, ensuring that all students will have equitable access to a quality arts education that leads to artistic literacy and fluency. The guide clearly defines how New Jersey arts educators may modify their practices not only in teaching, but in classroom orientation, cleaning, spacing and management. Regardless of whether teachers and students are physically together, adopting a hybrid model, or teaching and learning remotely, the Arts Ed NJ guidance provides the tools to create a successful, sequential arts program in any environment.

McCloskey, Grisham Will Discuss Books, Criminal Justice in July 16 Conversation
Two of America’s most powerful criminal justice reform advocates, Centurion Ministries founder Jim McCloskey and best-selling author John Grisham, will be conversing at 7:30 p.m. Thursday evening, July 16 in a virtual event sponsored by Princeton Public Library in partnership with Doubleday and Labyrinth Books. McCloskey conjectured that the topics they discuss will include his just-published memoir When Truth Is All You Have; Grisham’s 2019 best-selling novel The Guardians, inspired by McCloskey about a ministerturned-prisoner-advocate; “as well as our views of America’s criminal justice system, especially as it relates to the wrongly convicted and its treatment of the African American communities.” McCloskey added, “Since both of us are huge baseball fans — he has been a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan as I am with the Philadelphia Phillies— I expect that subject might be touched upon too. Who knows what other topics might come up!” Princeton-based Centurion, named for the Roman soldier in the Bible who said of the crucified Jesus, “Certainly, this man was innocent,” was the first organization in the United States committed to freeing the wrongly imprisoned. Since its founding almost 40 years ago, Centurion has freed 63 prisoners while they were ser v ing life in prison or
death sentences for crimes they did not commit. Grisham joined McClo skey in 2010 for a Centurion Ministries’ fundraiser at the Nassau Presbyterian Church, where McCloskey is a m emb er. G r isha m returned to Princeton in March 2019, visiting McCloskey and the offices of Centurion as he was conducting research for The Guardians. At that point he volunteered to write the foreword to When Truth Is All You Have. In that foreword Grisham emphasizes how it is “virtually impossible” to exonerate a convicted defendant. “It takes years, some luck, and at least $200,000 squeezed from private donors,” he writes. “And it also takes an advocate who is tireless, fearless, and dedicated to justice. A man like Jim McCloskey.” He describes McCloskey as “the dean of all innocence advocates – the Exonerator.” About 40 years ago, McCloskey, a U.S. Navy veteran, was a moderately successful businessman, living in the Philadelphia area and working in inter national consulting for two management consulting firms. He became disenchanted with the work and, at age 37, left the business world and enrolled in Princeton Theological Seminary, eventually earning a Masters of Divinity degree. One of his first assignments was an internship at Trenton State Prison, and his first case was Jorge de los Santos, who
was serving a life sentence, convicted of a 1975 murder in Newark. De los Santos convinced McCloskey that he was innocent. As his memoir describes, McCloskey threw himself into the prisoner’s case. It took three and a half years to get de los Santos exonerated and freed, and along the way McCloskey met three other prisoners whose innocence he believed in. He had found his calling. By 1983, Centurion Ministries, with a growing team of forensic experts, law yers, and volunteers, was born. As the publisher Doubleday describes McCloskey’s book, the full title of which is When Truth Is All You Have: A Memoir of Faith, Justice and Freedom for the Wrongly Convicted, “This is a candid and compassionate chronicle of faith and doubt, triumphant success and shattering failure, and an unflagging dedication to justice, telling not just McCloskey’s own story but also those of the unjustly imprisoned for whom he has advocated.” Grisham’s foreword emphasizes that the stories of wrongful convictions “are so good because they are so tragic. Jim could write a fascinating book about each of his cases, all 63 of them now, and the pages would turn. However, limited by time and space he has chosen his best. This book is far too thin and left me wanting more of Jim’s ‘war stories.’”
In an email last week McCloskey, who retired as executive director of Centurion in 2015 to write his memoir but continues to work on cases, commented on his work in the current context of the Black Lives Matter movement and the flawed U.S. criminal justice system. Of the innocent 63 prisoners Centurion has freed while they were serving life in prison or death sentences, 39 were Black, and of the 21 current cases, 19 of the inmates are Black. “It just so happens that in the most obvious cases of innocence that we have vetted, the defendants are mostly Black,” McCloskey said. He noted racial disparit i e s a n d d i s c r i m i n at i o n throughout American society, and emphasized that injustice in the criminal justice system, “which is where Centurion ministries and I have worked for the last 40 years,” is one of the primary concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement. McCloskey went on to point out the failure of the criminal justice system to provide a fair trial to African Americans. “As an example, why is it that nationwide, of the 1,065 men and women exonerated of their homicide convictions since 1989, 50 p ercent were Black; and of the 335 inmates exonerated from their sexual assault convictions since then, 60 percent were Black, even though t hey cons t it ute on ly 13 percent of the U.S. population?” he wrote. He cited problematic arrests based on scant evidence and biased views of
Jim McCloskey Black suspects by police who have a need and desire to clear cases, along with prosecutors who w ill do whatever it takes to gain a conviction in these cases. “Of course it happens to whites as well, but people of color bear the brunt of wrongful convictions. The scales of justice are automatically out of balance b e c au s e t he defenda nt s are indigent and have no resources to defend themselves against the heav y weight of the police and prosecution.” McCloskey went on to criticize the lack of experience and incompetence of court-appointed trial attorneys, who “are paid a pittance and have inadequate funds to retain necessary investigators and forensic experts to rebut what is often false or erroneous testimony by the prosecution witnesses.” He continued, “I also believe that if you are a person of color sitting in the dock, because of racial bias among those who come to judge you, consciously or not, the presumption of guilt is an invisible force

difficult to overcome. As a result of these and many other factors, truth is left behind as the train chugs along on its way to the state prison.” McCloskey cited 17 public cases since the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012 where in nocent cit i zens have been killed by police. “A p er fec t ly re as onable question is this,” McCloskey said. “Why is it that in these tragic events every police officer was white and ever y v ictim was Black? How many more of these fatal encounters between white police officers and Black or Bown victims are yet to be revealed? To me, this is clearly indicative of widespread racism, both implicit and explicit, that exists in police departments across the U.S. Certainly it is much more than just ‘a few bad apples.’” Registration for the July 16, 7:30 p.m. Princeton Public Librar y conversation on Zoom between McCloskey and Grisham is at Eventbrite.com. —Donald Gilpin

Community Foundation’s Philanthropy Provides Scholarships and COVID-19 Relief
The Princeton Area Community Foundation (PACF) recently awarded over $90,000 in scholarships to area high school and college students. Late last month, the organization announced that more than $1 million had been given to over 50 nonprofits, and more than $2.4 million had been donated to its COVID-19 Recovery Fund. When it comes to local philanthropy, PACF figures prominently. The organization has more than $170 million in assets, which they invest and administer as grants and scholarships. PACF, which operates from offices on Princess Road in Lawrence Township, has earned a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, the country’s largest independent charity evaluator, for the 10th consecutive year. Key elements of the Foundation’s success include its focus on the local area, and its ability to match philanthropists with specific organizations that are meaningful to them. “We really care about this region,” said Nelida Valentin,
PACF’s v ice president, grants and programs. “We have so many different populations and different issues, and they differ throughout the state. What helps us be successful at this is that we make linkages between individuals who are donors and organizations that want to set up charitable activities. We bring the people together to actually make that happen, and we do it in so many different ways.” PACF awarded $39,350 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors, and renewed another $53,400 in scholarships for college students who are scheduled to be resuming classes in the fall. Additionally, the $5,000 Thomas George Artist Fund Award went to Kyle Lang, who recently completed his studies at Mercer County Community College. Gifts that went to Princeton High School students are the Princeton Post No. 76, American Legion Dr. Henr y J. Frank Scholarship (four years) $1,000, to Cosette Hansen, who will attend George Washington University; the A. Myrtle
reasons. “They may have had some kind of life experience, or be focused on a particular area that makes them want to set up a scholarship around that issue,” said Valentin, who referenced a family that had lost a member to cancer and wanted to fund someone who had been affected by the disease in some way. “It’s a really good thing when you focus on the intersection of needs.” When the pandemic hit, PACF immediately set about getting funding together. “We were able to launch quickly to help nonprofits we fund and even those we haven’t in the past,” said Valentin. Help with food, shelter, and keeping the nonprofits they fund afloat were the priorities. “We’re at the center of all these donors and programs and funds that have been set up, and we try to listen. Our goal is always to make sure we’re promoting philanthropy and really getting at real solutions. More and more has been focused on trying to employ those resources in ways that have impact – at the intersection of where dollars create a systemic and healthy community.” —Anne Levin
Hensor Teaching Scholarship Fund (one year) $1,000, to Meghan Callahan, who will go to the University of Scranton; and the Louise Maas Allied Health Professions Scholarship Fund (one year) $1,000, to Eleanor Wilkinson, who will attend Clemson University. Other students awarded by t he Foundation have graduated from Ewing High S c h o o l, H a m i l to n H i g h School West, Notre Dame High School, Collingswood High School, North Hunterdon High School, Middletown High School North, and Cranford High School. “We know this school year has been hard for students, especially for seniors,” said Jeffrey M. Vega, president and CEO of the Community Foundation, in a press release. “We are very grateful for our donors, who help us help such hard-working students pursue their dreams. On behalf of the Princeton Area Community Foundation, we would like to congratulate each scholarship winner, and we wish each student a successful future.” Donors donate for different Old Barracks Receives
Humanities CARES Grant
Har b o r C ha s e Revel in Refinement
The Old Barracks Association, which operates the Old Barracks Museum in Trenton, received a $5,000 grant from the New Jersey Council for Humanities (NJCH) for COVID-19 relief. The funding was allocated to NJCH through the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the CARES Act. The General Operating Support will help ensure that the Old Barracks Museum remains operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the Old Barracks Museum reopened July 2, the Trenton landmark closed its doors on March 14 as a precautionary measure to help control the spread of COVID-19. During the closure, the museum brought its programming to a virtual platform. Due to the closures
of schools and other precautionary measures, thousands of students had to miss their scheduled field trips to the Old Barracks Museum in the spring. The program invited students to email questions about life in New Jersey during the American Revolution. Many questions have been answered via video and are available online at www.barracks.org/askthebarracks. Additionally, a new online exhibit titled “When Women Vote: The Old Barracks and the Anti-Suffrage Movement” was launched. This online exhibit is available alongside “Necessary and Proper for the Public Good” and “Collection Highlights.” Virtual programming has been available on the Old Barracks Museum’s Facebook page, including shoemaking demonstrations, a history of the Quartering Act, and an explanation of the clothing of middle-class women in the late 18th century. The gates at The Old Barracks Museum reopened to visitors on Thursday, July 2. Tickets must be prepurchased online at www. barracks.org at least one day prior to visiting. Masks are required to be worn by visitors, staff, and volunteers at all times. Visitation is limited to one group of no more than 10 people at a time to comply with the State of New Jersey’s mandate on capacity reductions. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday. Visitation policy and hours are subject to change; visit online for the most current guidelines. The financial impact of the closure of the museum has been devastating to the Old Barracks Association, the private nonprofit organization that manages the historic site. Grant support from organizations such as the New Jersey Council for Humanities and private donations made by the public have been crucial to the continuation of programming during this crisis. If you would like to make a
donation to help ensure the Old Barracks Museum’s future as a historical landmark in New Jersey, visit barracks.org/donate.
Dvoor Farm Bird Walk At Farmers’ Market
The bird habitat of Hunterdon Land Trust’s Dvoor Farm, 111 Mine Street, Flemington, will be the focus of a walk on Sunday, July 19 at 8:30 a.m. Juanita Hummel of the Washington Crossing Audubon Society will lead this free hour-long bird walk. She’ll stop at several habitat sites to look for various species of birds and discuss why the farm’s preservation was vital for wildlife.

Support Goes Virtual For Counseling Clients
Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County (JFCS) is expanding mental health services to meet the changing needs of the Mercer County community. “For the past few months we have been focused on getting information out into the community,” said Michelle Napell, JFCS executive director. “Many people were facing unprecedented mental and emotional health concerns. And for those managing ongoing mental health conditions, the challenges were even greater. We knew at the time that the priority was broadcasting insights and advice from our counselors out to as many individuals as possible.” Since late March, JFCS has provided free, weekly webinars dealing with anxiety, stress management skills, and issues tailored toward youth and teens such as coping with the loss of routines and other missed experiences. In addition, the counseling team has blogged about additional, topical mental health concerns. For more information on JCFS programs, including individual sessions, call (609) 987-8100.

Department we are monitoring nationwide and global incidence of COVID-19, and unfortunately there is exponential growth in a number of states.” Councilwoman Michelle Pirone Lambros commented on the increasing pace of activity in downtown Princeton as outdoor dining flourishes and more people visit local restaurants and businesses. “We have reimagined our restaurant dining spaces, which has helped them to reopen and offer a new experience for patrons,” she said. “So much feedback has been positive on how this could in years to come be an ongoing warm weather option. We also hear that this is having a positive impact on the neighboring retailers, bringing patrons back in, safely, to their stores and salons.” She went on to highlight the launch of a grant program for businesses sponsored by the Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber Foundation and a donation of $250,000 from Princeton University. “These grants are targeted to help our store front services, retail, and restaurants with expenses they are incurring as a direct result of the COVID-19 crisis,” she said. “We hope that the Princeton
Small Business Resiliency Fund (princetonresiliencyfund.org) will also raise additional funds and meet the University challenge of matching $100,000 in funds, with the overall goal of raising $450,000 or more to help our local businesses.” This is the first week since early May that there have been no new re-openings announced by the state, and New Jersey remains in Stage 2 of “the road back” with no date set for the opening of indoor dining (originally planned for July 3, but put on pause), bars, gyms, or movies. Gov. Phil Murphy’s July 8 executive order requires face coverings outdoors wherever social distancing is difficult to achieve, and, according to Monday’s Princeton COVID-19 update from the mayor and Princeton Council, this includes Nassau Street, Palmer Square, Witherspoon Street, and other high-traffic areas in the central business district. (There are exceptions for individuals under 2 years old, eating or drinking at an outdoor restaurant, or when wearing a mask would inhibit health or safety.) In urging mask wearing and social distancing, the Princeton COVID-19 update noted that young people in New Jersey are now the fastest growing group of individuals who are testing
positive for COVID-19. C om m u n it y Pa rk Po ol opened on Monday, and Murphy has lifted the 50 percent capacity limits on NJ Transit and private-carrier buses, trains, light rail vehicles, and Access Link vehicles. Face coverings have been required for months on all trains and buses and are now required in all NJ Transit and other indoor stations. There are currently 22 states, all coronavirus hot spots, on New Jersey’s quarantine list, which is a joint advisory with New York and Connecticut. Travelers from those 22 states, including residents returning home from a trip, are expected to voluntarily quarantine for 14 days. Murphy pointed out that the rate of transmission in New Jersey has moved below one (0.91 on Monday and Tuesday), meaning that on average every newly infected resident is passing COVID-19 to fewer than one other person. The spread is being kept in check. Locally, Grosser noted that the Princeton Health Department has been working closely with area schools, Mercer County superintendents, and heads of private and charter schools to plan for the September opening of schools in

Stony Brook Pedestrian Bridge Now Open
Pennington residents and fans of Mercer Meadows and the Lawrence Hopewell Trail (LHT) recently held a virtual “ribbon cutting” to celebrate the opening of the Stony Brook Pedestrian Bridge, which will provide safe access from Pennington Borough and Hopewell Township to the 1,600-acre county park. The celebration commemorated the late s t developm ent i n t he long-standing relationship between the Mercer County Park Commission and the LHT. “Mercer Meadows Park, one of the most beautiful parks in the Northeast, is a favorite destination of the many fans of the LHT,” said LHT trustee Jill Young, an early advocate
for the bridge. “The Stony Brook Pedestrian Bridge will provide a much safer, family-friendly way to enter the park from Pennington, Hopewell, and other communities west of the park. We applaud t he Mercer County Park Commission for constructing the bridge.” A aron Watson, execu tive director of the Mercer County Park Commission, said, “The bridge is part of a strategy to encourage more people of all ages to enjoy the park and the LHT by removing concerns about a difficult road crossing.” “The opening of the bridge in time for the July Fourth weekend could not have come at a better time,” said County Executive Brian Hughes. “This bridge is the perfect metaphor for the long-standing partnership
that created the LHT, which bridges communities; state, county, and local governments; corporate partners, and land preser vation groups.” Joining Hughes and Watson in the virtual opening were Hopewell Township Mayor Kristin McLaughlin, Pennington Mayor Joseph L a w v e r, a n d L a w r e n c e Tow n s h ip E ng i n e er Ji m Parvesse. The virtual opening can be viewed on the LHT website at lhtrail.org and on the website of the Mercer County Park Commission at mercercountyparks.org. More than 20 miles of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail is complete, with about two miles of the loop remaining to be built. Completion of the LHT is expected in about three years.

Thanking Organizers, Community for Success of Virtual Princeton Festival
To the Editor: The Princeton Festival has just wrapped up Virtually Yours, one month of performing arts events presented entirely online. On behalf of the Festival’s Board of Trustees, I would like to thank the Festival’s Executive and Artistic Director Richard Tang Yuk, his hard-working staff, and our dedicated volunteers for creating a spectacularly successful replacement for our regular June season of live performances. Thanks to them, and to the creativity of our passionate artists, we were able to fulfill our mission of bringing world-class performing arts to our community in spite of the challenges and limitations of a global pandemic. Creating Virtually Yours threw us into the deep end of a pool of new technologies. But these tools enabled us to enlist artists, musicians, and poets in countries from around the world, including Japan, Hong Kong, the U.K., Spain, and Trinidad and Tobago in addition to the U.S. They also allowed our programming to reach far beyond our traditional audiences. All told, Virtually Yours made nearly 50 events available online, free of charge, ranging from live events streamed out of artists’ homes to opera performances from our archives, plus recordings of past concerts broadcast by our partner WWFM, The Classical Network. There were also online lectures by distinguished local scholars, podcast interviews with esteemed artists, and a live panel discussion on the future of Princeton’s performing arts community with representatives of Princeton Pro Musica, Trenton Children’s Chorus, Westrick Music Academy, the Princeton Singers, Bohème Opera NJ, and WWFM. Considering the immense hardship the pandemic brought to a great many of our fellow citizens, we were especially gratified by the continuing support for our mission by our donors and patrons. We thank them most sincerely. We were also humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response to Virtually Yours from the Princeton community and newfound friends across the nation and beyond. The future of the performing arts is uncertain. No one knows when it will again be possible to present large public performances safely. But the need for the arts in our community has not diminished. As long as that is true, the Princeton Festival will find a way to meet that need. We thank our community for its support, and look forward to serving it in the future, virtually or in person. BENEDIKT VON SCHRÖDER Board Chair, The Princeton Festival

Mr. Rogers’ Neighbors Kindness Project Is Caring for Princeton Community
To the Editor: Recently, I had the opportunity to volunteer at Mr. Rogers’ Neighbors Kindness Project (MRNKP) free store at 190 Witherspoon St. – an ongoing project that has been caring for the Princeton community during COVID-19, particularly those in need. During Monday, Wednesday, and Friday volunteer shifts I set up goods and distributed meals and daily necessities to our neighbors. These distributions have been made possible through donations from local businesses and community members. Clients, face-masked and physically distanced, wait patiently in the queue, and then express sincere thanks for these acts of kindness. MRNKP is the brainchild of Blair Miller, founder and community organizer who, with Ross Wishnick and Brianna Silva, are filling a void in our community with an efficient, well-organized infrastructure of care.

by a cadre of hard-working volunteers, has engaged community members and local businesses to bring smiles and comfort to our neighbors in need. Meals (e.g. La Mezzaluna, Nomad Pizza, Princeton Soup and Sandwich), essential goods (e.g. McCaffrey’s, Whole Earth), and much needed distractions (e.g. Jazams, Labyrinth Books, Bent Spoon, Thomas Sweets) reflect a cohesive, caring community. MRNKP represents the perfect antidote to an anonymous, uncaring pandemic. Blair Miller has created the counter-balance to COVID-19 through MRNKP.

year, given the challenges faced by many families during the COVID-19 pandemic. Year after year, about 1 in 8 Princeton public school children qualify for free or reduced cost meals, an indication of the financial insecurity that some families experience in our town. In the past several months, due to COVID, many families have experienced a further drop in income, because they have lost a job or had a reduction in work hours. Economic uncertainty has increased in our community during the past several months, frequently among essential workers, with a discernable impact on their children. We know this because the Human Services Department, along with community partners, has been involved in providing relief to community members suddenly unable to pay rent or utilities, or facing other financial emergencies. We know this because local meal programs and the grass roots organizations that have recently sprung up are working hard and successfully to ensure that children and families in our community have adequate nutrition. We all look forward to the resumption of some modicum of normalcy under, we are sure, very different circumstances. Getting back to school for our children is an important milestone for that gradual and safe return. We hope that Princeton residents will step up to help with the drive, so that all of our children can feel excited about getting back to school in September. Here is what is needed: Cartoon backpacks, graphing calculators, composition books, erasers, scotch tape, notebooks, binders and lined binder paper, pencil cases, safety scissors, tissues, and, this year in particular, pocket hand sanitizers and child-size face masks. Perhaps your family can consider buying an extra backpack and supplies and donating to a child in need. Donations of backpacks and school supplies can be dropped off at the Human Services Office at One Monument Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540, until August 7. Deliveries for online orders will be accepted, as well (please don’t require a signature). If you know of a Princeton child in need, we ask that you contact the Human Services Office at (609) 688-2055. Thank you for generosity!

To the Editor: This week the board of the Bryn Mawr–Wellesley Book Sale made the difficult decision to suspend operations and will not accept book donations until further notice. The Sale was started 89 years ago to raise local college scholarships and has evolved into the oldest and largest sale on the East Coast, annually attracting hundreds of book dealers from as far away as Maine, Illinois, and Florida. It operated through a World War, a Depression, and other major challenges, but met its match in COVID-19. If readers have books to donate and can keep them in a dry place until we are open again, we would cherish their contributions at a future date. ELIZABETH ROMANAUX Board Member, Sycamore Place

BOOK/FILM REVIEW
I
Once Upon a Time On the Road with Ennio Morricone
’m on my way to Lambertville after half a year staying close to home, and nothing looks quite right. The road ahead is unwinding like a film that’s been subtly altered by forces beyond my control. The problem may be the music on the stereo. If this is a movie, I’ve picked the wrong soundtrack. The CD of Schubert lieder sounds too confined and wintry for a sunny early Sunday morning in July. Maybe what I need is a nice rousing jolt from Ennio Morricone. Ever since he died last week, I’ve been revisiting the films he scored for Sergio Leone and reading about his relationship with his old fifth grade schoolmate in Christopher Frayling’s biography, Something To Do With Death. The title, taken from a line of dialogue in Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West, has something to do with my own state of mind after discovering that two old friends of mine have died, one last month in Indiana, the other two years ago in Zurich. The view down the long stretch of empty track at the railroad crossing outside Hopewell reminds me of the opening sequence of Once Upon a Time in the West, but more than that, it flashes me back to the hours my friend Bob and I spent playing catch in a lot next to the Illinois Central tracks. When he moved to a town upstate, we signed our letters “your everlasting friend,” no doubt using the same leaky ballpoint pens with which we copied down stats in baseball scrapbooks on long winter afternoons. The last time I saw him in person was — 1960. Sharing Music While waiting for the light to change at the junction of 518 and NJ 31, I take the Schubert Lieder out of the CD player and replace it with the Beach Boys’ Sunflower. Why Schubert on a pandemichaunted morning in July? Because the other old friend I’m mourning is Irwin Gage, the pianist accompanying Gundula Janowitz on this Deutsche Grammophon recording from 1977. I’ve had closer friends over the years, but the friendship with Irwin developed on a summer student tour of Europe, giving it an kind of shipboard romance unreality. Bob and I bonded over books and baseball in Bloomington, Indiana. Irwin and I shared great music in Vienna, Salzburg, Venice, and Rome. If he hadn’t urged me to go, I’d have missed a stirring outdoor concert of Respighi’s Pines of Rome in Venice, the trumpet-glorious March of the Roman legions on the Appian Way like a preview of Morricone’s great showdown fanfare in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It was thanks to Irwin that I saw a performance of Turandot at the Baths of Caracalla, five rows behind Orson Welles. We also shared a
Mozart program in Salzburg and visits to Beethoven’s house and Schubert’s birthplace in Vienna. I tried several times to get in touch with Irwin over the years. Not counting some letters from college the year after the tour, he never wrote back, most likely because having spent most of his adult life in Europe accompanying famous lieder singers, he’d come to regard the student tour as interlude of silly, borderline embarrassing collegiate fun. Last week w h e n I c h e c ke d his Wikipedia entr y, I found t hat he’d died in June 2018 “after a long illness.” “The Ecstasy of Gold” It’s just as well I d i d n’t h a v e a Morricone/Leone soundtrack playing on the way to Lamber tville. It would have been like the time I drove the same route with the Berlioz Requiem, scaling hills to the music of the Day of Wrath, four brass choirs playing the fatal fanfare, the Tuba Mirum that, as the conductor Colin Davis liked to s ay, “ b l ow s your brains out.” A s I le ar ne d after watching portions of the various Sergio Leone westerns with the sound off, there’s no Leone without M o r r i c o n e . L i ke the line in the S i n a t r a’s “ L o v e a n d M a r r i a g e ,” y o u “c a n’t h av e on e w it h ou t t h e other.” When Leone died in 1989, the funeral was at the basilica of San Paolo Fuori Le Mura in Rome, with Morricone playing the main theme from Once Upon a Time in the West on the organ as the coffin arrived. Both men were 60 at the time, and given the symbiotic magic they made, they’ve been together in cinema the 30 years since and will be as long as people watch movies. According to Frayling’s biography, Leone compared the relationship to “a marriage” like Catholics used to have “before the divorce laws:
w w w. p e r i o d a rch i t e c t u re l t d . c o m
tempestuous, but devoted.” Still, it’s fun to imagine driving west once upon a time in New Jersey with Morricone on the stereo. Well, maybe not “The Ecstasy of Gold” from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. How can you drive to ecstasy without going off the road? It’s hard enough to sit still watching Leone’s Sancho Panza from hell (Eli Wallach) sprint through a vast cemetery as if catapulted by the power of Morricone’s music. When soprano Edda Dell’Orso’s wordless aria soars over a delirium of trumpets, bells, and gongs, you become one with Tu c o s p i n n i n g , whirling, romping among the immense landscape of crosses and headstones, everything blurring as if the cameras had been unmoored in the sonic forcefield. But what a f it t i ng m etaphor for the deathless s p i r i t of a r t : to feel this ecstatic energy in a landscape of the dead encircling a man cons u m e d by an ecstasy of greed. And look what’s in store: Morricone’s version of trumpet heaven for the fabu lou s s howdow n opera between the t h re e t it le characters. A nd how right, how moving, that this composer’s instrument of choice, like his father’s before him, was the trumpet. Art and Spaghetti It was all too inev itable that the obituaries for Morricone referred to “the Italian composer of atmospheric scores for spaghetti westerns.” Back in the sixties when that crass but nauseatingly handy phrase was coined, my wife and I were part of group of film buffs who would have laughed at us for speaking of Leone in the same breath with Fellini or Bergman or Truffaut or any cer tified “serious” director of the period. Similarly, the Beach Boys’ Sunflower and Morricone’s scores for Leone most likely would have been
scorned by Schubertians like Irwin. But I have to think that the person who shared the wonder of Respighi’s Pines of Rome that night in Venice and Turandot in Rome would be susceptible to the wonder of Morricone, even if he considered Edda Dell’Orso no match for Renata Tebaldi. I’m also naive enough to think he might grudgingly admit the harmonic genius of Brian Wilson/Beach Boy creations like “This Whole World” and “Forever.” Noise and Music The beauty of my friendship with Bob was the sense that we were always in synch, or, as the cliché has it, “on the same page.” No matter what, books or music or sports or dirty jokes or adolescent fantasies, we were attuned, and I have no doubt he’d have been as receptive to the Leone/Morricone experience as my wife and I were. Remember ing instances of Ir w in’s goofy sense of humor, the spontaneous impersonations he did of our deranged tour leader and certain unintentionally funny characters in the group, he, too, would have enjoyed Eli Wallach’s performance as Tuco, not to mention Once Upon a Time in the West’s opening soundscape of dripping water, buzzing fly, creaking windmill, and chattering teletype as three doomed gunfighters wait for their “victim’s” train to arrive. Irwin, who gave master classes in song interpretation, and Bob, who became a research chemist, would have related to Morricone’s awareness that all noise belongs to the realm of music, and the fact that he’d been a member of a group of avant-garde composers attending seminars led by John Cage. According to Frayling’s biography, when Leone was dissatisfied with the music composed for that opening sequence, Morricone described a “concert” in Florence where a man came on the stage with a stepladder and did nothing but make it creak and squeak for several minutes, all the while in total silence, until the bewildered audience began to realize that the sound had taken on a significance that transcended its “everyday nature.” As Morricone puts it, “I recounted this experience to Sergio, who already had these things in his blood, in his own ideas about silence,” and he made “those extraordinary first ten minutes of Once Upon a Time from that idea.” Last Rites for Nora hen I got back from Lambertville, with the Beach Boys playing all the way, my wife, son, and I said some words of love over the backyard grave of another close friend, one of the feline variety, the dearest and nearest of all. —Stuart Mitchner

D&R Greenway “Art & Nature Happy Hour”
D&R Greenway Land Trust is hosting a free virtual “Art & Nature Happy Hour” on Wednesday, July 15, from 5-6 p.m. Settle in with your beverage of choice and enjoy an interactive talk with four artists, all featured in D&R Greenway’s current exhibition and virtual gallery. Moderating the conversation will be Marie L. Matthews Gallery Curator Diana Moore. Exhibited to honor Earth Day’s 50 th Anniversary, “Trail of Breadcrumbs: Nature in Fairy Tales” features fine artists and children’s book illustrators Silvère Boureau, Barbara DiLorenzo, Jada Fabrizio, and Joe Kazimierczyk. To sign up and receive instructions for the free Zoom conversation, email dkilmer@drgreenway. org. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, a virtual tour of D&R G r e e n w a y L a n d Tr u s t ’s “Trail of Breadcrumbs, Nature in Fairy Tales” has been available to the public on D&R Greenway’s website at https://drgreenway.org/artgalleries/. “This enchanting art exhibit is the perfect way to celebrate the beauty of the only planet we shall ever inhabit, while inspiring a love of nature in
adults and children alike,” said D&R Greenway CEO Linda Mead. “At D&R Greenway, we celebrate Earth Day every day of the year by preserving and caring for land, and making it accessible with outdoor trails.” Since 2011, Moore has brought her talents and wit to the curation of environmental exhibitions for the Marie L. Matthews Galleries at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center in Princeton. She chooses artists who represent, “the evolving intersection of ecology, art, and activism.” Her themed nature exhibits over the years have demonstrated the importance of nature to artists and artists to nature. Recipient of a BA in medieval art from Princeton University, Moore serves on several art boards including the Arts Council of Princeton. She holds a master’s degree in contemporary art from Sotheby’s Institute of Art. Intensely engaged in the regional arts community, Moore’s multileveled background includes biotechnology. She admits to being “a bioartist working at the overlap of science, ethics, and spirituality.” About the artists: In 1982, when Silvère Boureau arrived from France, he was known for expressionist
portrayals of the human form. He soon became captivated by the American landscape in general, and New Jersey’s in particular. Boureau’s works are uniquely celebratory of nature, from both vast and intimate perspectives. Fond of remote hiking, as in rocky reaches near the Delaware; and of solitude achieved in watercraft, as in the Pine Barrens, his canvases uniquely immortalize our country’s wild nature. Barbara DiLorenzo, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, is the author and illustrator of the prize-winning books Quincy: The Chameleon Who Couldn’t Blend In and Renato the Lion, a Junior Library Guild Selection. Her illustration for Wonder won the Member’s Choice Award during the 2018 Annual Conference of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), New Jersey chapter. A Hopewell resident, DiLorenzo is an instructor at the Arts Council of Princeton. During the COVID pandemic, she represents the Arts Council partners through Princeton Art Museum, providing free online art-making experiences inspired by the Museum’s collection. J a d a Fa b r i z i o, A m e r i can photographer, works in
Manhattan and lives in Weehawken, New Jersey. Her studies in creative writing at SUNY New Paltz blend with New York courses in photography at the School of Visual Arts and International Center for Photography. Fabrizio utilizes sculpture, photography, and installation, to “creat[e] surreal visual fables, involving sculptural creatures, and commercial toys set in tableaux vivants.” Fabrizio’s purpose throughout is to render difficult ideas more approachable. Her creative motives are to focus people upon “their own ethical stance regarding the treatment of animals, destruction of habitats, and the preservation of our natural resources in the modern world.” Joe Kazimierczyk, of Lambertville’s Artists’ Gallery, lives on the Sourland Mountain near Neshanic Station. Even before viral mandates, Kazimierczyk has always been inspired by natural areas surrounding his home. His works are natural extensions of his intense commitment to preserving the wild landscape, which he explores by foot and by bicycle in all seasons. He is known for his skill in capturing light’s penetrations of dense woods. For more information, visit www.drgreenway.org.
“Rising Tides” Exhibit at Michener Museum
The Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., is reopening to the public on July 23 with the exhibit “Rising Tides: Contemporary Art and the Ecology of Water,” on view through January 10, 2021. The exhibit commemorates the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, established on April 22, 1970 to educate the public about environmental issues impacting our planet. “Rising Tides” will feature work by contemporary artists from the Bucks County and greater Philadelphia region that are investigating the effects of global warming, climate change, pollution, and related
environmental concerns on bodies of water and aquatic species, including large-scale painting, works on paper, sculpture and installation. The exhibition will celebrate the power of art to visualize ecological crisis and global change through the eyes of seven area artists. Emily Brown’s delicate renderings of water elicit emotion and consideration for the element that nurtures all life on Earth. While water permeates our world, we rarely study its subtleties. Brown’s large drawings allow close observation of its surface, composed of simple gray and white lines that swirl in alluring, abstracted arrangements. She has replicated this imagery on painted glass cylinders, which will also be included in the exhibition. Diane Burko operates at the intersection of art, science, and environmental activism. To begin her work, Burko first travels to regions of critical concern to collaborate with scientists who are learning and spreading awareness about Earth’s deteriorating conditions. Featured in “Rising Tides” are mixed media paintings and inkjet prints, whose aerials views of glacial melt emphasize the scale and real-time effects of Earth’s warming climate. For Janet Filomeno’s most recent series of paintings, “As the Sea Rises — Blue Crystals Revisited,” she streaks brilliant blue paint across each canvas, creating dynamic, abstracted compositions that visualize troubled waters highlighted by red boxes and lines. Filomeno created the original Blue Crystals series following the devastation of 9/11. In linking this new series to the previous one, Filomeno conveys her profound concern for our current turbulent political climate and the rapid acceleration of climate change. Marguerita Hagan’s ceramic sculpture focuses attention to the remarkable diversity of creatures that comprise aquatic ecosystems, from
microorganisms to larger organisms, like coral and the blue whale. In representing the most infinitesimal of life forms, Hagan stresses the interconnectedness of life on Earth, particularly aquatic life and its susceptibility to pollution and ocean acidification. Hagan’s sculptures thus allude to the monumental change human practices are imposing upon ocean ecosystems. Pat Martin will exhibit two works of art that address the deteriorating conditions of oceanic ecosystems due to pollution. One work, Floating Reef, offers a depiction of discarded, tangled fishing nets that ominously float on the water’s surface, just above the sea life. Stacy Levy’s installation, comprised of small vials of water collected from the Delaware River, will visualize the river and its swelling banks when flooded. This installation will track the Delaware’s fluctuating water levels and conditions, while considering the larger weather patterns that affect them. The jagged, white surfaces of porcelain sculptures by Paula Winokur (19362018) evoke glacial ice. Winokur regarded porcelain as a contradictory material, as it is simultaneously strong enough to withstand searing temperatures when fired, but afterward becomes fragile and will shatter if disturbed. Porcelain is also sourced directly from the Earth, and its use in her work prompts consideration of the materials and processes that comprise our planet, as well as the glaciers, ice cores, and globes her sculpture represents. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street in Doylestown, Pa. All visitors, including members, volunteers, and docents, must receive timed tickets to gain entry. All guests will be required to wear masks. Visit michenerartmuseum. org for more information and a full list of the museum’s new safety guidelines.

lways important, peace of mind in one’s home is especially crucial today as so many of us are spending many more hours home-bound during the coronavirus pandemic.
IT’S NEW To Us
M a k i n g s u r e t h at t h e electrical system, including the home wiring, plugs and switches, fuse panel, circuit breaker, etc. are all in good repair is essential to home safety. Cifelli Electrical Inc. has been providing reliable service to Princeton area customers since 2004, when Mike Twarkusky and Anthony Tallone established the company. Even before, dating back 50 years, it was a Princeton mainstay under the auspices of owner and founder John Cifelli. “Both my co-owner Mike Twarkusky and I started at Cifelli in 1986,� says Tallone. “We were still in high school when we began working for John as apprentices. Then we both went on to further our education and become electricians.� Home Wiring Now located on Airpark Road, adjacent to Princeton Airport, the company provides everything from attic and ceiling fan installation to new appliance hook-up — including stove, oven and cooktop — to dedicated
lines for computers and custom home wiring. In addition, generator installation and outdoor landscape lighting are other specialties. Generators have become an important part of the business, reports Tallone. “We had always done work with generators on a larger scale for businesses, but now homeowners want them too. In many cases today, houses have become small businesses in terms of power because of the technology and the amount of power they consume.� People want to be prepared for emergencies in case of severe storms and power outages, and Cifelli is a certified Kohler generator dealer, installing and servicing the unit, and they also service Generac generators. Advising people on safety issues is important, points out Mike Twarkusky. Whether it’s the need to replace smoke or carbon dioxide detectors, checking the dryer system, or replacing old wiring, Cifelli is ready to help, and is always there to assist in an emergency. Regarding safety issues, Cifelli will provide safety checks for homeowners at a cost. Tallone notes that “With older homes, the best bet is to change the devices: that is, the plugs and switches. You want to be sure there is a tight connection. Loose connections and old frayed cords are potential fire hazards. If it’s an old beat-up cord, throw it out.�
Design and Installation The company also has a busy commercial business, hav ing completed many projects in the area, including for local businesses, clubs, and other organizations. “W hether you need to maintain your current electrical system or want a totally new electrical system, we can successfully lead you through design and installation,� points out Twarkusky. Among the services are lighting design for comfort, productivity, and energy savings; computer and communication cabling; electrical drawings and plans review; power distribution ; generators and UPS systems; maintenance specializing; and power troubleshooting, among others. As in every business, Cifelli has seen many changes due to advances in technology. As Tallone observes, “The technology has changed so much in every way. With smar tphones, there is now instant access. It has changed our business. You can take a picture of something on site, and send it back to the office. I remember when people had beepers!� Changing Technology He points out that sometimes problems can even be solved on the phone. “We can talk to people and learn about the problem. I can usually give them a ballpark price, depending on the time needed and the material. And then, if it’s a minor problem, I may even

After Ivy League’s Decision to Cancel Fall Sports, PU Coaches Helping Athletes Deal with Fallout
W
hen the Ivy League canceled its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments on March 10 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it drew some fire for the decision. Many thought the league had jumped the gun and some of the players slated to play in the tourney signed a petition imploring Ivy administrators to change their mind and reinstate the event. But it turned out that the Ivies were ahead of the curve as the sports world screeched to a halt across the globe days later. Last Wednesday, the league made another controversial decision, becoming the first Division I conference to cancel all sports competition this fall. Once again the Ivies appear to be a trendsetter as the Patriot League followed suit on Monday and canceled all fall competition while the Big 10 and Pacific 12 have limited all games this fall to conference contests only. In announcing their position, the Ivy presidents made it clear that reaching such a conclusion was painful. “These decisions are extremely difficult, particularly when they impact meaningful student-athlete experiences that so many value and cherish,” said the presidents, noting that fall training will be allowed for student athletes on campus with no games before January 1 at the earliest and that the winter and spring sports calendars will be decided at a later date with the possibility that fall sports could take place in the spring. “With the information available to us today regarding the continued spread of the virus, we simply do not believe we can create and maintain an environment for intercollegiate athletic competition that meets our requirements for safety and acceptable levels of risk, consistent with the policies that each of our
schools is adopting as part of its reopening plans this fall.” PU Fall Coaches React While Princeton University men’s soccer head coach Jim Barlow saw the handwriting on the wall, it didn’t make things any easier when the decision came down. “I wasn’t surprised, but it is still gut-wrenching,” said Barlow, noting that coaches were informed of the decision by Princeton Athletic Director Mollie Marcoux Samaan at 4:00 last Wednesday afternoon. “I think when you look around and see the surge in cases and what is going on nationally, it was hard to be surprised. Even though you expected this type of decision, it still hurts.” Tiger football head coach Bob Surace reached a similar view of the situation. “The initial reaction was even though this is the right move, it is painful when you find out officially,” said Surace. “You trust that the presidents are going to look out for health and safety and they are going to make the right decision. I agree with that decision.” View of Administrators The Princeton athletes, for their part, were informed of the decision at 5:00 via a webinar with Marcoux Samaan. “None of this is easy and we are heartbroken for our amazing student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and fans,” said Marcoux Samaan in a statement issued after the move by the league. “The college athletics experience is meaningful on so many levels, not only in what is learned but the relationships that are cultivated and the community that is formed. Our teams won’t compete this fall but our teaching will not stop. We will continue to support our student-athletes with even more vigor and focus during these challenging

times. We will continue to build community and develop leaders through athletics.” In an interview on CNN last Thursday, Ivy League Executive Director Robin Harris sympathized with the athletes. “There is tremendous disappointment, of course they cherish their athletic experience and opportunities and I think there is also a lot of understanding frankly,” said Harris. “The individuals in the Ivy League understand that we treat our student athletes like students because they are students. We operate athletics consistent with our campus policies and there is an understanding that these policies that are being put in place to protect the health and well-being of our campus community at large and our society, should also apply to our athletics community. So while we are all disappointed and disheartened, we know it is the right decision for the Ivy League.” Supporting The Athletes Meeting virtually with his players last Wednesday evening, Surace focused on helping get the them through this uncertain time. “I kept it to the point of just being in this together and supporting them,” said Surace. “It is easy to support people when you are 10-0 but your true colors come out when you are in the midst of this adversity. Even though we know it is the right decision, it doesn’t make it less painful for all of us. The players have been so inspiring the last four months, especially as we have been going through everything. We have been doing it virtually. They stepped up as leaders in every way and so to see them hurting, that is hard.” Holding his weekly Thursday Zoom meeting, Barlow tried to answers questions and keep spirits up. “We had a couple of our athletic fellows on the call who work in different parts of the campus,” said Barlow. “One works in the communications office, one works as a dean of one of the residential colleges. So we had people from different parts of campus who could help and answer questions. Right now there are a ton of questions. The players were really down. Everyone was really excited to get back together, and to get back on the field. Everyone feels like we have a really good group. Like the coaches, I don’t think too many of them were surprised but they were still really, really disappointed.” Like Barlow, Surace is helping his players plan for the best way to proceed on an individual basis in terms of potentially taking a gap year and impact on future eligibility. “We are working through all of those things; I have some pretty good ideas for some of the guys and I think they are on board with that,” said Surace. “It is when you get to some of the older guys, I am working with Mollie and her staff to
make sure on their situations. I don’t want to give them poor advice, that is the worst thing I can do now. Even if I am supporting and caring, if I give them poor advice, that just defeats the purpose. There are groups I am going to Zoom with by class year next week because I think I know what the best advice is. Then there are groups that I am not sure yet.” In addition to providing advice, Surace is making himself available to his players to talk through other issues as well. “Knowing that we are not going to play games in the fall, some guys right now need to put on much weight with the bench press just to get this out of their system,” added Surace. “Other guys need time off and we will give them space and work with them. The only thing I am worried about is caring for them and listening to them. I don’t need to talk Xs and Os for the next three weeks or a month and a half. I need to have my phone on, listen to them, and talk them through this time. Let’s give them the best advice possible and let’s show that we love them.” The Tiger soccer players are in the same boat. “They turned their focus onto OK, what makes the most sense for me,” said Barlow. “Are some guys going to try and request a gap year or defer coming for a year and how does that work? Is that going to be possible; all of those kind of issues are just starting to come to the surface.” Fall Training With the Ivy presidents giving the go-ahead to fall training, Surace and his staff will soon be formulating a plan for that option. “At some point, it sounds like in September, we will be able to work out,” said Surace. “We haven’t got the exact specifics of that but we are going to be able to be with them. There will be a time, probably in a month from now, where we will sit down as coaches and training staff and work through what we want to accomplish on that.” As for the men’s soccer program, Barlow looks forward to getting on the field with his players, but plenty of questions remain. “We are trying to learn what it is going to look like in the fall, the plan is to be able to have in-person workouts but to phase them in over time,” said Barlow. “I think you start with strength and conditioning and then you move towards small group instruction and then, if all is going well, eventually you can move into group training. I think it would only be for the student athletes who have been invited to be on campus at that time, the first years and juniors in the fall and then sophomore and seniors in the spring. There are all kinds of questions that have come up about the sophomores and seniors. If they are technically enrolled but not allowed to be on campus, would coaches be allowed to go train them off campus? All of those kind of questions are out there and haven’t been answered yet.”
SPRING IN HIS STEP: Princeton University football player Collin Eaddy scores a touchdown in a game last fall. Rising senior running back Eaddy will hope to be back in action this spring after the Ivy League decided that there will be no games this fall. The league added that there will be no competition until January 1 at the earliest and that the winter and spring sports calendars will be decided at a later date with the possibility that fall sports could take place in the spring. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Spring Scenarios While the Ivy presidents indicated that games could resume on January 1 and that fall sports may be moved to the spring, Surace acknowledged those scenarios are not a given. “If circumstances change, President Eisgruber would love to have people in the classrooms and people doing things but it has to be safe,” said Surace. “He can’t have people acting like it was last year at this time. You can’t open it up to that because the way this spreads, you are putting way too many people at risk. Maybe 18-21-year-olds are at less risk, maybe they are not, nobody knows. Everybody is battling this; you are trying to come up with something that there is no guide for. You are using all of the wisdom, you are using all of the resources and you are just trying to do it as safe as possible. There is no perfect answer right now.” Despite the questions, Surace is holding out hope that his team could return to the gridiron come spring. “There are ways that it can become safe and in five and a half months we could know it is this safe,” said Surace, noting that the Ivy football team have been holding spring practice sessions for years. “If it is not safe, it is really hard to say to college age athletes that you can advocate for that when you have told them how much you care about them. You promise their families that you are going to support them and you are going to treat them like your own kids. If you make a decision that is selfish right now, you show colors that are just poor, you show ignorance, you show selfishness. It is hard to be in sports and be selfish.” Barlow, for his part, sees issues even if his squad can get some game action this spring. “That is a really hard one; as of now, the NCAA is saying that the national tournament is taking place in the fall so that means the traditional season is in the fall and if you want to be part of it, that is when you play,” said Barlow, noting that Ivy spring season
would likely be limited to league games only. “The spring would be the non-traditional season which would be governed by nontraditional rules, limiting to us a very small number of games. It is possible that if things improve and everyone is allowed back on campus and they decide they want to have more games in the spring, they could appeal to the NCAA to say hey we didn’t play in the fall so can we play more games in the spring. Those things are all just being discussed, I don’t know how realistic it is. I don’t know if our guys would want to use a year of eligibility on seven games.” New Perspective When the games do resume, Barlow believes his players will bring a new perspective to the pitch. “I do think for a lot of guys, this has forced them to figure out what is really important and to be really grateful for the things they have,” said Barlow. “I think some realizations that have come from this is you realize that some of the things that you thought were important were so trivial in the grand scheme of things. The emphasis now is to look forward to the day we can get back on the field and to just really cherish the moment and just get as much out of it as you can and to not sweat the stuff that is not important.” In Surace’s view, the athletes and coaches need to focus on the bigger picture. “As much as losing football pains me, there is perspective,” said Surace. “I talk to the team about this. You pick up a local paper right now, there is an article every day on a small business owner who has worked their tail off to start their company or start their restaurant and that company or restaurant is in dire straits right now. There is not a day that goes by that your don’t read about a tragedy because of this. I hope that we can take a step back from the emotion of the pain we have now and look at the big picture. This is really hard on everybody.” —Bill Alden
PU Swimming Programs Receive Academic Honor
The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) recently named its Scholar All-America teams and the Princeton University men’s and women’s swimming and diving squads were both honored. Princeton was one of 461 schools to receive the award for the spring semester, which was selected on the basis of their spring GPAs. A total of 17,982 on the list were student athletes. Additional institutional adjustments to grading systems resulted in GPAs nearly one-quarter letter grade higher than previously. As a result, the CSCAA did not publish team GPAs. This Semester’s list also does not include teams at institutions that switched entirely to pass/fail grading.
15 Princeton Fencers Make All-America, All-Region
Fifteen Princeton University fencers earned All-America or all-region honors as the U.S. Fencing Coaches Association ( USFCA) announced its awards.

PU Men’s Tennis Adds Forman to Staff
Brett Forman will be joining the Princeton University men’s tennis team as a volunteer assistant coach, Tiger head coach Billy Pate recently announced. Forman earned over 100 career wins at Michigan State and was nationally ranked in doubles his senior year. Playing the majority of his career at No. 1 singles, Forman was a four-time team MVP and a three-time captain. He also served as a volunteer assistant coach at Michigan State in the 201920 season. “We are delighted to have Brett join our program for the upcoming year; we have known him for a long time and Damian (current men’s assistant Damian Hume ) coached Brett for a year at Michigan State,” said Pate. “Not only was Bret t a great player, he was a model student-athlete and demonstrated tremendous leadership as a three-time captain
and No. 1 player for the Spartans.” Assistant coach Hume is looking forward to reuniting with Forman. “We have been fortunate to have some great volunteer assistant coaches over the past few years. Brett is going to be a great addition to our team,” said Hume. “Not only does he bring great playing experience to the table, but he has shown incredible leadership and will be a tremendous role model to our players. I had the privilege of coaching Brett as a player and I look forward to standing next to him on the court coaching the Princeton Tigers.” Michigan State men’s tennis head coach Gene Orlando believes Forman will make a big impact at Princeton.
“Bret t was a program player for the Spartans, a leader on and off the court,” said Orlando. “His work ethic and grit were his streng ths as a player playing No. 1 his junior and senior year. Brett is a rising young star in the coaching ranks. His strengths as a player will transitions well into coaching. The opportunity to work with coach Pate and coach Hume will bring the best out of him and ultimately the Tigers.” Former Princeton volunteer assistant coach Axel Damiens will be joining the men’s tennis coaching staff at Florida State University as a volunteer assistant coach. He will be pursuing a masters in sports management at FSU.

Although Final Campaign with Cornell Lax Cut Short, PDS Alum Fletcher Enjoyed Special Career for Big Red By early March, Connor Fletcher was headed to a dream season in his final campaign for the Cornell University men’s lacrosse team. Star midfielder and team co-captain Fletcher, a former Princeton Day School standout, had tallied six goals and five assists, helping Cornell go 5-0 and rise to No. 2 in the Inside Lacrosse/Maverik Division I Media Poll. “We were doing really well, we felt like we had gotten back to the kind of Cornell lacrosse that made teams in the past here be so successful,” said the 6’3, 230-pound Fletcher, who starred in ice hockey and soccer in addition
to lacrosse at PDS. “We were doing the kind of things that we thought would put us as one of the top teams in the country. We were really hitting our stride. We were really confident in the way we were playing and the team that we had.” But then the season turned into a nightmare as the COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of the spring sports season in mid-March. “It was a pretty emotional experience, there were a lot of tears and a lot of hugging,” said Fletcher, recalling the team meeting where the players found out about the cancellation. “There wasn’t really that

much to be said. We just wanted to be there for each other; making sure that we were supporting each other going forward. It was definitely an emotional moment.” Even though the Big Red only got to play five games in 2020, the squad still experienced some big moments. “We had a really skilled group of guys but the biggest thing that we were focusing on was basically just stripping down from offensive sets,” said Fletcher. “We were just breaking it down to things like hustle plays. It was a lot on ground balls, blocking shots and diving for end lines when shots were going out of bounds. It was those plays that we defined our games on. If we built up from there, we knew we would be successful.” Being one of the four team captains, Fletcher looked to set the tone for hustle plays. “I was elected both by the players and the coaches; I had that respect from everybody on the team,” said Fletcher, a second-team All-Ivy League performer in 2019. “It was something that I really cherish and I was proud to fill that role for my team. I have more of a lead by example style. When needed, I can be vocal and try to encourage everybody. It is the way our whole team works. One of our mottoes is that well done is better than well said. Do the work first and everybody will follow, that is the way it is. Myself and the other captains on the team believe that.” A major h igh light for Fletcher and the Cornell team came when it edged highly touted Penn State 1817 on March 8. “That was probably one of the more fun games I have been able to play in during my time at Cornell, playing against a team that was ranked No. 2 in the country at the time,” said Fletcher,
who tallied one goal and an assist in the game. “They were one that we had circled, losing to them the year before and being able to have such a high intensity, high scoring game. It was just incredible to see that way we went up in the beginning and then let them come back and then the way we persevered to the end. The general excitement of the ending too with the last second goal, you can’t really beat that. That was probably my favorite one this year for sure.” In developing as a scorer over his college career, Fletcher looked to use his skills for the team’s benefit. “Coming in, it was definitely more of a focus on myself and figuring out how I could get better as a player, whether it was shooting or dodging or anything like that,” said Fletcher, an Inside Lacrosse/ Maverik Media Honorable Mention All-American in 2020 who totaled 89 career points on 56 goals and 33 assists while starting all 50 contests in his four years. “When it came to my senior year, I was able to build off of my skills. It was how could I play to make everybody else better. So it was plays that I made to not only create success for myself but to create the overall success for our offense. That was basically the way that I progressed and I think the offense as a whole progressed over my four years at Cornell.” Over the last four years, Fletcher became very close to his classmates. “We all live together, 13 of us are in the same house,” said Fletcher. “There is an incredibly close bond; it has been tough being away from them already. In the coming months and next year, being away from them is going to be tough. I was actually able to head up to Ithaca to move out of my house sadly. It was kind of a sendoff of my experience in Ithaca with a couple of my classmates who were able to get back there so that was nice.” As he finished up his senior year at home, Fletcher
maintained his bonds with his teammates. “The team has been trying to facilitate a lot of meetings, just ways for us to stay connected and keep the right mindset in the situation,” said Fletcher. “We have definitely been doing a lot of that.” Fletcher has also been finding ways to stay in shape without being on campus. “You have to get a little creative, trying to do stuff at this point; it is definitely something I am keeping up with just to stay busy,” said Fletcher, who was drafted by the Philadelphia Barrage of Major League Lacrosse. “I have been using the milk jug for weights. I use the back board of my basketball court for wall ball drills. It is pushups, running and trying to find a wall anywhere I can.” Over the next year, Fletcher will be keeping busy as he prepares to apply for medical school. “I do have a job as a research assistant working for a sports medicine practice in New York City,” said Fletcher. “I am currently studying for the MCAT, taking advantage of these couple of weeks and months. I want to do my research as a gap year before I go to medical school.” Looking back on his time at Cornell, Fletcher took full advantage of the time spent with his teammates. “The biggest thing for me was being able to make such great friends in my classmates and the rest of the guys on the team,” said Fletcher. “The experiences that I got to have with them, both on and off the field are the biggest thing that I will take away from my experience at Cornell. The kind of people that get recruited to play lacrosse at Cornell is a special group of guys. They do a really good job of getting the right kind of dudes that are good locker room guys and really care for each other. They put the team in front of themselves; it has just been a great experience to make such longtime friends.” —Bill Alden

PROTECT YOUR ASH TREES with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES
Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic and invasive beetle that has killed millions of ash trees. They belong to a large family of beetles known as the buprestids, or metallic wood boring beetles. The adults emerge in the spring, feed on ash foliage (but cause little damage), mate and deposit eggs into the bark layer of the tree. After hatching, the larvae chew through the bark to the inner phloem, cambium, and outer xylem where they feed and develop. This compromises the trees ability to transport water and nutrients. Our ability to control EAB has progressed substantially. Research shows that ash trees of all sizes can be effectively and consistently protected with proper treatment programs, even in areas of high EAB density. Trees already infested with EAB are treatable. Untreated affected trees have the life expectancy of one to three years depending on the level of infestation. Call WOODWINDS (609) 924-3500 or email treecare@woodwinds.biz to schedule an assessment.

It would have been easy for the WWP Babe Ruth League to throw in the towel on its 2020 season. With schools going to virtual learning in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the spring sports campaign being subsequently canceled, youth sports leagues were struggling to get their seasons up and running. The Little League World Series, the signature youth sports event of the summer, was canceled, among many others. But sensing that players and their families wanted and needed an athletic outlet, the W WP Babe Ruth League pressed on, aiming to put together a summer season. “A big motivating factor for the WWP Babe Ruth Board to try to make some kind of season happen was hearing the growing concerns from parents that the kids were heavily focused on their remote learning and playing video games and they were not getting outdoors to exercise,” said league president Jon Durbin. “After witnessing this in our own families, and hearing from so many others, we continued to keep the possibility of playing alive, while also beginning to think hard and concretely about what it would take to make the playing environment as safe as possible if we did return to the field.” Overcoming some hard challenges on and off the field posed by the pandemic, the league attracted 65 players and started play last week. “We basically had to pull the whole season together in the ten days leading up to the first week of practices because we had held off on submitting a lot of paperwork, ordering uniforms and equipment because we just didn’t know what was going to happen,” said Durbin, of the league which plays its games at Hilltop Park and Smoyer Park in Princeton
and at Ciuffani Field in West Windsor. The first step in the process was making sure that there would be players who would be willing to participate. “One of the earliest challenges was keeping the families interested; as time went on and we got into early May everyone got really worried and even if we can put something together, are they still going to want to play?” said Durbin. “We stayed in regular touch from late March into early May, contacting them every two-three weeks to let them know that we had not canceled and were keeping the possibility of play open. Another important planning step and keeping families interested was measuring family interest in playing this summer through our two surveys in late May and mid-June. In late May, we had 34 out of the 64 families say they were highly likely to play if we offered a regular season in the summer. In the mid-June survey that jumped to 54 families that were committing to play. We shared the results with all the families each time to give them confidence that there was more than enough interest to play.” Drawing enough players to form four teams, league officials decided to hold games and practice on weekdays, leaving the weekends open for other baseball programs. “What’s significant about playing a regular season in the summer is that we typically only offer all-stars in the summer because a lot of kids either make alternative plans in the summer or the stronger players play for their club and travel teams in tournaments every weekend,” added Durbin, noting that the teams will play a 10-game schedule over five weeks. “So those players are only interested in playing allstars in the summer with us, not a regular season. So it was great that so many kids

wanted to play a regular season with us and two-thirds of those will play all-stars with us too.” Once the scheduling was squared away, the league had to formulate safety protocols that would satisfy New Jersey guidelines. “The state required “Back to Practice/Game Plans” from every league submitted to each municipality that you host games in,” said Durbin. “In formulating our plan, we borrowed standards from the National High School Federation, Babe Ruth Baseball, The USABL, sister Babe Ruth and Youth Leagues, and we looked at the State Guidelines for baseball and softball in states that reopened earlier like Nebraska and Missouri.” Utilizing those resources, the league came up with a comprehensive proposal that was approved by the towns involved. “In the end, the final plan we submitted well exceeded the state minimums,” said Durbin, noting that the families had to sign COVID-19 waivers for the league and the two municipalities. “It included expanded dugouts, masks to be worn in the dugout areas, the home plate umpire to call balls and strikes from behind pitcher’s mound, coaches and umpires are required to wear masks at all times, and higher mask and social distancing standards in the family/fan areas around the field.” With the league starting regular season play on July 7, the players and their families were thrilled to get back on the diamond. “We got so many thank you’s over by the parking lot at Hilltop after the first game,” said Durbin, who is coaching the league’s Orange team. “Everyone is super excited and so thankful that we have been able to play.” Heartened by the enthusiastic response to the start of play, Durbin was also happy to see good compliance with the league’s safety procedures. “I was coaching but I was keeping an eye on both teams’ dugouts and on the fans as they walked around and as far as I could tell, the fans did a great job with following the rules that we laid out,” said Durbin. “The boys did a pretty good job. Each team only had to remind them several times across the six innings to spread out more in the dugouts.” While the level of play may not have matched the spirit around the park at the outset, Durbin is confident that things will get sharper over the next few weeks. “The players, coaches, and umpires are all a bit on the rusty side, but we have already seen some ESPN Top 10 caliber plays and individual performances,” said Durbin, who is hoping that the state Babe Ruth organization will be holding all-star tournaments later this summer. “No doubt everyone will be doing well by the time the regular season ends in early August.” —Bill Alden
Local Sports N.J. Athletics Organization Releases Return to Play Model
Providing further details regarding the resumption of high sports this fall, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) unveiled a tentative model last Friday to update its Return to Play plan. Under t he model, t he fall sports season is being pushed back by approximately one month, with summer workouts for high school student-athletes – which may begin on July 13 – continuing until August 28. Following summer workouts (also known as the “summer recess period”), there will be a two-week hiatus from August 29 through September 13, during which only virtual meetings will be permitted, and only related to in-season (fall) sports. Under the current plan developed by the NJSIAA Sports Advisory Task Force, which includes athletic directors from across t he state, official practices for all fall sports may start on September 14. Competition will start September 28 for girls’ tennis and on October 1 for all other sports except football, which will kick off its season on October 2. Regular seasons will conclude on October 23 for girls’ tennis, November 7 for football, and November 12 for all other fall sports. Limited postseason play will run from October 24 t hrough October 31 for girls’ tennis, and November 13 through November 22 for all other sports. Schools that do not participate in the postseason may continue to play until November 22, with the exception being Thanksgiving football games. These are permissible after November 22, at each school’s discretion. No other fall sports competition will be allowed after November 22. “High school sports are school-based, so we need to first ensure all is in order with the opening of our schools,” said Colleen Maguire, the NJSIAA chief operating officer. “After that, we can begin playing sports. To be clear, our goal is to return to play – while making sure that health, safety, emotional well-being, and academics come first. We have a different model than some other types of programs that are far smaller in scale and operate independently. We have a duty to ensure that New Jersey’s schools and their more than 1.5 million students and teachers, including 283,000 high school student-athletes, can first return to school and their academics, and then participate in extracurricular activities like sports.”

Obituaries
Harriet E. Bogdonoff Harriet Joy Eisenberg Bogdonoff passed away peacefully on July 5th in Portland, Maine. Beloved by many for her quiet wisdom and caring presence, she listened and rarely judged. Harriet will be deeply missed and always remembered. Harriet was born December 14, 1922 in New York City and spent her early years living on the beach in Edgemere. She attended Hunter College as a math major, and worked in the statistics lab teaching others how to use the new computing machines. She was head of the math honors society, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, in mathematics in 1943. Thinking she would find employment in one of the research labs nearby, she was told they were not hiring women. Harriet ultimately found a job with the US Government at NACA, the precursor to NASA, and she left for Langley Field in Virginia, her first
time out of NYC. She was to work for Seymour Bogdonoff, a young aeronautical engineer designing airplanes for the war effort, who had requested an engineer, not a mathematician. They overcame that obstacle and soon were inseparable. They married in October 1944. In 1946 Seymour accepted the offer of a research assistant position at Princeton University, where over the next few years he built one of the foremost labs in the world for wind tunnel research into supersonic and hypersonic gas dynamics — then a new field. For more than 60 years, Seymour and Harriet were both active in the Princeton community, and were founding members of the Jewish Community Center. Harriet worked at the forerunner of ETS (Educational Testing S er v ice ), in t he math construction department, creating questions for the college board and SATs, and in the computer lab at Princeton University. After the birth of her first child, she turned to volunteer work. She was instrumental in starting a holistic health organization, a new approach at the time. She was interested in alternative health options, practicing yoga for many years and holding weekly meditation groups in her living room years later. As a volunteer, she provided job placement advice for recently divorced homemakers and underemployed older women. Truly a lifelong learner, Harriet took a counseling class to improve her skills, and continued on to receive a Master of Education in Counseling and
G uidance, from Trenton State College, in 1977. After graduation, she worked on a literacy grant to teach older adults how to read. She found such pleasure in helping others and had wonderful stories of the people she had met. At t he Mercer Count y Community Action Council, she provided training, jobs, and follow-up for people in poverty. When the grant was not renewed, she went back to school for her social work degree. In 1982, at age 60, she graduated from Rutgers, Graduate School of Social Work, with a Master of Social Work. She did her internship at Cornerhouse in Princeton, a counseling center for teenagers, and then at Jewish Family Services in Trenton, working with the elderly population, where she found her life’s work. She was there for many years, leaving only when her two weeks of vacation made world travel difficult. She started a private practice that she continued until she moved to Maine. As part of her practice she worked with one of the first retirement communities in the area, providing residents with counseling and discussion groups around isolation, health concerns, and issues with their children. She was among the first group of social workers to work specifically with the elderly and to recognize that they had their own set of needs and issues. She became a National Certified Gerontological Counselor in 1991. She was also active in the Princeton Senior Resource Center where she received an award for outstanding achievement, and

REV. ANDREW T. SCALES Chaplain of Princeton Presbyterians Princeton University
represented Princeton at the White House Conference on Aging. During that time, she started an information and referral service for corporate workers dealing with issues with their elderly parents. Funded initially by IBM, many other companies signed up for this service, her database surpassing anything else available. In 1992 Harriet, and three friends decided something had to be done to promote aging in place in Princeton. Community Without Walls ( CW W ) came into being. Star ting with one house (chapter) of 75 – 100 members, they wrote a constitution and by-laws, and became a 501c3. Harriet served as resident gerontology expert, nudge, muse, President, and Board member. CWW continues, now with six houses, and is a national model for aging in place. In 2001 Harriet was the New Jersey Geronotogist of the Year. Her keen mind, generosity, and quiet persistence profoundly changed the lives of seniors in Princeton and the surrounding communities. Travel was a lifelong love. When Seymour was asked to lecture on his research in each NATO country, off they went with their three children (ages 2, 5, and 7), for seven months of travel throughout Europe — doing reading and math lessons as they drove. Five years later, they took off again with their family for another seven months (having toured the U.S. the summer before). From then on they planned a trip or two every year, often traveling with their good friends Roz and Norm. The list of places they visited reads like a world atlas, and includes destinations like the Soviet Union, South America, Egypt, China, India, Vietnam, Laos, Jordon, Indonesia, Antarctica, Kenya, Mongolia, and Mali, actually traveling to Constantinople and Timbuktu. Harriet continued traveling after Seymour died, visiting Guatemala, Alaska, the Netherlands, Japan, and Budapest into her late 80s and early 90s. In 2008, three years after her husband died, she left her close community in Princeton to move nearer to her daughter in Portland, Maine, where she made a new life for herself. She volunteered at Osher Life Long Learning, continued to take classes, served on the community board at The Atrium, an independent living community where she settled, and made many new friends. She ate numerous lobster rolls, a long-time favorite. Harriet is survived by her daughter Sondra Bogdonoff (Jamie Johnston), and her son Alan Bogdonoff ( Estelle Gross Bogdonoff), five grandchildren (Nemo, Caitlin, Jake, Emma, Noah) and t wo g reat- g randch ildren (Scout and June). She is predeceased by her sister Doris Silberstein, her adored husband Seymour, and her beloved daughter Zelda. She included many others among her extended family, from younger friends, to relatives’ children to her friends’ children and grandchildren. Across the generations, all received her love and attention. She was curious and open-minded, never
satisfied with an easy answer. She was always there when someone needed to talk, and shared her knowledge and exper tise with grace and generosity. Memorial contributions can be made to: The Good Sheppard Food Bank of Maine, P.O. Box 1807, Auburn, ME 04211-1807 or to the charity of your choice.
Hedwig H.C. Dekker Hedwig H.C. Dekker, a longtime resident of Princeton, died peacefully at her home on July 10th, 2020 at the age of 99. Her death followed that of her beloved husband of 53 years and all of her siblings. Hedwig, known to all as Henny, was born on June 10th, 1921 in Indonesia to Dutch parents. While she had very fond memories of her childhood in Indonesia, adequate local schooling was not available so her parents decided that it was best for her and her siblings to get an education in The Netherlands. At the age of 7, she and her older brother were brought to Holland to attend school. Life w ithout her parents was difficult and got even worse when the Germans occupied Holland. Henny
lived in Amsterdam during most of the war and endured the Dutch Famine of 1944-1945 (Hongerwinter) while half a world away her father was a Japanese prisoner of war. These memories of her early life were ver y v iv id to Henny and she talked about them constantly and in great detail to those who cared for her in her final years. After the war, Henny studied physical therapy at the Mensendieck Institute in Amsterdam. By the time her parents returned to The Netherlands, she had met her future husband, the mathematician Jim Dekker, whom she followed to the U.S. in 1949. They were married in 1951. As a young academic couple they lived in Syracuse, Chicago, Princeton, Kansas City, and New Brunswick until they finally settled in Princeton in 1969. For many years Henny worked as a physiotherapist at Roosevelt Hospital in Edison, NJ, where she was well loved and respected by the staff and patients alike. She retired in 1986. Henny was a very giving person. There was not a charity that knocked on her door that was left emptyhanded. She also helped friends and family whenever they needed it. She felt very blessed in her life and was grateful for everything that came her way. She will be missed by all of those that had the good for tune of knowing her. A memorial gathering will take place when it is safe to do so. Burial arrangements will be under the direction of Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, Princeton, NJ. Continued on Next Page

She is also survived and similarly missed by her brother Jack Dudrick, her sister Joan McBean and her grandchildren Sophia, Micah, Cleo, Liam, and Aiden. Special thanks to Richard Lee, MD and Laurie and Carmella of Princeton Hospice. A celebration of life memorial service is planned for 2021.
Carol Hamilton Carol Hamilton, age 80, passed away at home in the early morning of July 6th, 2020 after a two-year struggle with ovarian cancer. She passed in the home she’d lived in for nearly 50 years, surrounded by her family. Carol Hamilton (nee Dudrick) was born on March 11th, 1940 in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, a town centered around Anthracite coal mining with a strong legacy of Polish American immigrants. She graduated from Nanticoke High School and received her undergraduate degree from Penn State University. She was teaching at Widener Memorial School (Philadelphia, PA) when she met her future husband, S. Sutton Hamilton III, who was a resident in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. Carol had a lifelong interest in cooking and baking and originated a catering business, “S candinav ian Flair,” with her dear friend, Sue Johnson. Carol cooked along with Sue for years until returning to teaching, where she taught children with learning disabilities at the Newgrange School and finishing her teaching career at the Bridge Academy in Trenton, New Jersey. She cultivated expertise in the instruction of children experiencing difficulty in learning to read and was known for her patient and caring manner. While never a particular fan of travel by prop plane, she traveled all over the United States — including trips over the Rockies to Alaska — in the co-pilot seat of the Cessna flown by her husband. C a r o l ’s l i f e c e n t e r e d around her family and her deep Christian faith. She was particularly active at the Stone Hill Church where she led weekly Bible study. Perhaps, above everything, she is best known and loved for her extraordinary kindness and patience. It is difficult to meet someone who knew Carol who did not comment on her remarkable concern for the wellness of others over herself. She was famous for her handwritten notes that she wrote — without expectation of return — to anyone she thought was suffering or might otherwise benefit from a personal and concrete example of kindness. Carol will forever be beloved and remembered for her exemplar y kindness, extraordinary concern for others, and her endless capacity to put the needs of others ahead of her own. She is desperately mourned and missed by her husband of over 50 years, S. Sutton Hamilton III as well as her two children — S. Sutton Hamilton I V (Jessica) of
Sally Hagen Schmid Sally Hagen Schmid, 77, passed away peacefully on July 1, 2020, at Sandhill Cove Retirement Community in Palm City, Florida, where she was an active resident for the past 10 years. Sally grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, and graduated from Ms. Fine’s School then attended Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. She married in 1961 and had three children. Following a divorce, she relocated to Hawaii to be near her family. She worked in banking and married Albert Schmid in 1976. She was a long-term member and supporter of the Junior League of Honolulu, serving a term as President. In 1994, Sally moved back to the mainland, eventually settling permanently in Florida in 1998. During her time at Sandhill Cove she served on several committees and enjoyed living in the community. Sally had a remarkable memor y and a thirst for knowledge. She was once a contestant on Jeopardy and carried that skill throughout adulthood as an avid trivia player (and frequent champion). She was inquisitive and adventurous – she loved traveling the world on cruise ships and, in later years, reading multiple books a week, doing jigsaw puzzles and socializing with friends. She always loved meeting, talking to, and lear ning about people and was easy to share her quick wit. Sally (aka Gigi) especially loved

Barbara W. Pierce Barbara W. Pierce, formerly of Princeton, died on June 29 at the age of 101 years. Following a brief illness, she died from natural causes at Bear Creek Senior Living in West Windsor, NJ, where she had resided in recent years. Born June 9, 1919 to parents Ernest S. Winterburn and Jessie Hounslea Winterburn, Barbara was raised in Fairfield and Nichols, CT, where she attended local schools. A graduate of Warren Harding High School in Bridgeport, CT, she completed a two-year course of study at Weylister Junior College in Milton, CT, now incorporated as part of the University of Bridgeport. At a young age, her father immigrated with his parents to Connecticut from Bradford, England. Her mother was a direct descendant of Roger Williams, founding father of the colony of Rhode Island and pioneer of
American religious liberty. Barbara was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Henry (Hank) Wilder Pierce, Jr., whom she married on June 28, 1941. Barbara had an active mind and was an avid reader, creative homemaker, and accomplished cook. She was an exquisite, lifelong knitter and possessed a natural talent for flower arranging. A gracious hostess, Barbara loved to entertain, and her warm, easy hospitality was regularly enjoyed by her family, her many friends, and a steady stream of outof-town guests. She had an outgoing, vivacious personality and, often surprising those who didn’t know her well, possessed a quick, clever, and incisive wit. Barbara and her husband were frequent travelers, enjoying many international trips with Dartmouth College’s alumni travel program, and particularly with t he Dar tmout h Class of ’37 alumni trips. They also enjoyed spending winter months at their Caribbean home in Bequia, B.W.I. A long - standing mem ber of Princeton’s Nassau Presbyterian Church, The Present Day Club, and The Nassau Club, Barbara was a devoted wife and mother, good and loyal friend and neighbor, and active community volunteer. As a young bride living in Stratford, CT, during World War II, she rolled bandages for the Red Cross in support of the war effort. Moving several times during her husband’s lifelong career with the General Electric Company until his retirement, she was a supportive, corporate GE wife, repeatedly packing
up their growing family of three children and establishing a new home and life in a new community. After her husband was transferred to York, PA, Barbara was an active member of the York County Hospital Women’s Auxiliary and the Junior Women’s Club of York. When later living in Verona, NJ, she co-founded a new chapter of the Junior Women’s Clubs (a branch of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, a national organization); was active in the PTA of North Caldwell, NJ’s schools; was a board member of Princeton’s Present Day Club, at one time serving as its Treasurer; and volunteered at Nassau Presbyterian Church. A resident of Princeton for more than 50 years, Barbara worked for several years on the Princeton Medical Center’s annual Rummage Sale.

LET’S TALK REAL ESTATE... IDEAS FOR YOUR BACKYARD STAYCATION This summer, many people are opting to spend their vacation in the comfort of their own homes. With a little creativity and ingenuity, you can make your backyard feel like a pleasurable escape. Here are a few simple yet fun ideas that can involve the whole family. Here’s to summer fun! Host a backyard movie night All you need is a projector, a media source, and sheet or inflatable screen. There’s no need for an expensive projector – a basic projector will work well outdoors. Just don’t forget the popcorn! Backyard camping trip Set up a tent, have the kids bring out sleeping bags and relax under the stars. Plan the usual activities like singing songs and cooking s’mores. And if sleeping on the ground isn’t your idea of fun, you can still go back inside and sleep in your own bed. Family game night Let each person choose their favorite game - outdoor games or board games. Yard games like croquet, oversize tic-tac-toe or checkers, and badminton are fun for all ages. You might even start a week-long game of Monopoly. Backyard spa day Treat yourself to a pampering day of rest. Give yourself a manicure and pedicure, find a soothing face mask, or a hair treatment. Add some spa details like thick towels and a pitcher of ice water with fruit slices.
