Toxic Algae Blooms Close Rosedale Lake To Swimming, Boating There has been no swimming, boating, or fishing on Rosedale Lake at Pennington’s Mercer Meadows Park this summer. The culprit is the discovery of a harmful algal bloom (HAB), which has also closed the Spruce Run Reservoir in Hunterdon County and Lake Hopatcong in Morris and Sussex counties. Stormwater experts blame the problem on a lack of watershed protections and stormwater management at the state level. But according to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), updates to the state’s stormwater management rules, which were rolled back under the Christie administration, have been proposed and are pending adoption. “This is going to be the summer of closed swimming areas. Rosedale Lake in Mercer County has now joined the list,” said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, in a press release. “The failure to implement proper watershed protections and stormwater management have allowed harmful algal blooms (HAB) to get out of hand. Lake Hopatcong has been shut down since June 27. The Spruce Run Reservoir has been off limits to swimmers for more than a month. Swartswood Lake was closed for a week in June before reopening. Overdevelopment and stormwater runoff are causing nutrients to pour into our lakes allowing the algae to thrive.” Freshwater HABs are formed from bacteria carried in by nutrients primarily from septics and lawn and garden fertilizer. The algae can cause severe skin rashes. If swallowed the polluted water can cause abdominal pain, headaches, and vomiting. Pets should also be kept away from water where the algae blooms are present. According to Mike Pisauro, policy director of The Watershed Institute, the presence of the HAB is not entirely abnormal. “But we need to step up prevention and reducing the sources of this stuff,” he said. “There were eight years of rollbacks on many levels during the Christie administration. The Murphy administration is moving, but probably not as fast as many of us would like. But they are moving forward.” In part, Pisauro said, the harmful blooms are caused by nutrient-rich Continued on Page 8

Demonstrators Urge “Close the Camps” Lighting candles “for liberty,” carrying signs, and chanting “close the camps,” more than 400 demonstrators gathered in Hinds Plaza Friday night to rally for immigrants’ rights and to protest policies of the Trump administration. Sponsored by several local activist groups, Princeton’s Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps was one of more than 700 events held across the country and around the world as tensions continue to rise over conditions at border detention centers and warnings of large-scale nationwide immigration raids. “Values of our country are being trampled on again and again under this administration,” Princeton Councilwoman Leticia Fraga told the demonstrators. “We must demand that our country keep its promises. We cannot look away.” One of a range of speakers who spoke about conditions at the border, policies in Washington, and consequences locally, Fraga continued, “We are here because we are outraged because of what is taking place at our borders.” After playing a tape recording of children who have separated from their parents, Fraga urged the crowd, “Let’s march. Let’s shout. Let’s protest, so that
when the history of what we have lived through is written, it will be known that we did not agree.” The two-hour event featured more than 20 different speakers, including local officials, representatives of many different organizations, and several Dreamers and other recent immigrants. Demonstrators filled the plaza, many carrying signs and posters with such messages as “No Person is Illegal,” “#Don’t Look Away,” “Caging Children is a Crime, Not a Business
Model,” “My America Welcomes Immigrants,” “Families Belong Together,” “End the Inhumanity,” and Separating Migrant Families is Inhumane.” Representatives from Princeton Human Services, Princeton YMCA and YWCA, RISE, Solidaridad, Latin American Legal and Defense Education Fund (LALDEF), and other local organizations provided information about services, resources, and support for immigrants. Speakers urged Continued on Page 7
AvalonBay Purchases Thanet Property; Affordable Housing Options Considered
AvalonBayCommunities, Inc., a real estate investment trust (REIT) that already owns 280 apartment units on Witherspoon Street, has recently signed a contract to purchase for an undisclosed amount the 15-acre Thanet property at 100 and 101 Thanet Circle off Terhune Road from the KABR Group, a real estate developer based in Ridgefield Park. Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert announced at last week’s Council meeting that the town has been in discussions with AvalonBay over “a number of options for including affordable housing as part of
any future development there.” Lempert could not disclose further details about the Thanet sale, but she did comment briefly on the the town’s ongoing work in revising its affordable housing proposal. She noted that they are close to a final plan, but “we have not yet reached a final settlement and, therefore, we are precluded from sharing details of those discussions or our proposed plan at this time.” She did mention that one addition to the plan is the former SAVE site at 900 Continued on Page 12

The program at Morven Museum and Garden starts at 7 p.m. with a twilight tour focused on Morven’s previous residents, who might have gazed at the skies in earlier times. Next is a lecture by Gene Allen of the Amateur Astronomers Association of Princeton. Following Allen’s presentation, “The Night Sky and Our Place in It,” the gathering moves outside at 8 p.m. to start observing the darkening sky. Visit morven.org for details. A retired American Airlines pilot, Allen has been an amateur astronomer for years. While light pollution makes local skies less than ideal for viewing, he said, there is still plenty to see. “The most exciting targets in the night sky for most people are the two biggest gas giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn,” Allen said. “So in summer, when you have time and it’s nice to be outside, and they are nicely visible, that makes for better viewing.” Saturn “is a great sight because you can see the rings,” Allen said. “A few years down the road, the rings won’t be as obvious because we’ll be seeing them edge-on.” As for Jupilook for passing satellites, and peer through telescopes and binoculars for deep sky objects like the Ring Nebula, the Coathanger, or the Dumbbell Nebula, to name a few.

The annual Perseid Meteor Shower is at its peak August 12 and 13 this year, but it won’t be easy to spot the meteors streaking through the sky. According to the website space.com, the display will be dimmed by a nearly full moon. “Unfortunately, the moon will be very close to full on the night of the peak, which will wash out the fainter Perseids,” said Bill Cooke, a NASA meteor expert. “The Perseids are rich in fireballs, so you’ll still see Perseids; you just won’t see the show you’ve seen on nights when t he moon has not been around. It won’t be a total wash-out, because the Perseids are rich in bright meteors, but the moonlight is going to spoil most of the show.” Weather permitting, the annual Star Watch at Rancocas Nature Center on August 30 is probably a better bet. The event was rained out last year and the year before. Sponsors of this year’s program, which is co-hosted by the West Jersey Astronomical Society, are hoping for better weather. The event starts at 7:30 p.m. During the nature center’s last two star watches in 2015 and 2016, participants were fortunate enough to spot Saturn’s rings one year, and Jupiter the other. Beginning and experienced stargazers are welcome at this year’s program, and are urged to bring flashlights, lawn chairs, and binoculars. Telescopes will be provided. The center is at 794 Rancocas Road in Westampton. Admission is $15 per person; $40 for a family of up to five. Visit www.RancocasNatureCenter.org for details. —Anne Levin

listeners to get involved through volunteering, contributing funds, and supporting sympathetic political candidates. “We hope attendees will view this rally as the beginning in their work to halt the inhumane practices at the border,” said event organizer and Indivisible Cranbury leader Laura Zurfluh in an email after the rally. “This movement will not end until comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship for Dreamers are the law of the land.” Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, LALDEF board chair and director of the Princeton University Center for Migration and Development, criticized the country’s “broken immigration laws” that have “created an incredible crisis.” “The law should never be held above justice. What’s legal is not necessarily moral,” she said. “Immigrants — now hear
this Donald J. Trump — are part of our future,” continued Fernandez-Kelly. “We will endure. We will be better. We will protest and embrace those who arrive in search of opportunity.” Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, calling for an end to policies that he described as “inhumane,” declared, “I refuse to believe that this is what our country is. I refuse to accept a policy separating children from their parents. That is not who we are.” He urged members of the crowd to continue to protest, and to vote. “We leave here today angry and upset and determined to make sure this never happens again,” he said. Some of the other speakers included Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice Chief Activist Robt SedaS chreiber, L A L DE F Co founder Maria Huega, and Princeton Human Services Commission Vice Chair Veronica Olivares-Weber. As 9 p.m. approached, and darkness descended
on Hinds Plaza, hundreds of candles were lit, and the two-hour event came to a close. The Rev. Alexis Fuller-Wright of Princeton Christ Congregation delivered the benediction. “We stand here tonight with millions across this nation to say ‘no’ to the lie that we need to fear our neighbors,” she said. “No to caging humans, no to those who would tear children from their parents.” Urging listeners to be “weavers of hope, mercy and justice,” she continued, “Say yes to human dignity, to the preciousness of all life, to children and families and to the vital moral fabric of our lives.

Algae Blooms continued from page one
stormwater that is picked up from lawns, fields, and agricultural fields. “If we don’t control and treat that runoff, it goes into our streams. And climate change is making temperatures warmer, which is another important factor. Plus, we are getting more significant rainfalls in shorter periods of time. It all adds up.” Tittel concurs. “We are seeing more and more what happens when we eliminate environmental protections and don’t protect our waterways.” he said. “We fail to control overdevelopment and stormwater runoff. Warmer temperatures and more rain means more runoff bringing septics and fertilizer into the lakes. Those nutrients are turning our lakes into algaepolluted soups, and people shouldn’t even have contact with the water. The algae can cause severe skin rashes and other illnesses. Climate change will only worsen the impacts. We’re creating a vicious cycle that will only bring higher temperatures, more rain, and more pollution. More beaches and swimming areas will close.” Stormwater management has been a focus at The Watershed Institute. “We’ve been talking with municipalities to go above and beyond state minimums, so they are reducing the amounts of what goes off a property,” said Pisauro. “And we also stress that buffers along streams should be better protected so that nutrient-rich pollutants are filtered out before they get to the water.” In March, Gov. Murphy signed the Clean Stormwa-
ter and Flood Reduction Act, giving municipalities, counties, and certain authorities the ability to establish stormwater utilities. But some environmentalists are concerned that the measure is not enough. “We need to establish stream buffers and enforce real Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) standards that limit pollutants in our lakes,” said Tittel. “We need to toughen rules on stormwater management and bring back the Septic Management Districts Christie eliminated. We also need to reduce overdevelopment in environmentally sensitive areas. Our lakes are in a crisis, and we need to act fast before the damage becomes irreversible.” —Anne Levin
County Seeks Exhibitors For Annual 4-H Fair

Brian Ciuffreda, Man on a Mission, Heads PCS Operation Smile Club
Since founding the Suppers program 14 years ago at her Princeton kitchen table, Dorothy Mullen has helped hundreds of people feel better by teaching them how to avoid processed foods and environmental toxins, and embrace a healthier way of eating to fuel the body and brain. The nonprofit has grown to a network of support groups with more than 30 trained facilitators, who currently hold 23 meetings a month where members cook together, eat together, and share stories and experiences. Now Suppers is facing a sobering next step. Mullen was diagnosed in early April with stage IV lung cancer, and has elected to forgo treatment. Instead, she is at home, currently on hospice but receiving visitors for an hour each evening, and helping plan for Suppers to carry on her vision without her. Before founding Suppers, Mullen was involved in the creation of vegetable gardens for Princeton Public Schools (PPS). The Board of Education was to honor her at its meeting Tuesday night, July 16, with a special proclamation. The proclamation praises Mullen, who is 64, for imagining “that school gardens could become transformative places of learning and discovery for children in the Princeton Public Schools ( and t heir teachers and parents)”; going on to say Mullen “has dedicated herself to the transforming of a grassy slope outside of
the Riverside Elementary School into an abundant garden classroom, brimming with vegetables and herbs.” In addition to serving as an outdoor classroom, “the Riverside garden (with the help of students, families, and community volunteers) now supplies hundreds of pounds of produce each year to local food pantries.” It concludes by commending Mullen “for her beautiful vision, her indomitable spirit, her singular creativity, and her endless generosity — all of which shall continue to flourish in the gardens, and all of which enhance and reflect the mission of Princeton Public Schools.” As much as she can, Mullen is spending time in her own expansive garden, and sharing plants for visitors to take home to replant in their own gardens. In a note to members of the Suppers website and in a long account she wrote in the July 10 issue of U.S. 1, she is matter-of-fact and upbeat about her illness. “ S h e’s c o m p l e t e l y a t peace, and I’m not just saying that,” said Lee Yonish, who is Suppers’ interim executive director. “Obviously, she’s concerned with the legacy of the program because she has seen firsthand how much it has helped people. But she has faith that we will take care of her program.” Board of trustees member Marion Reinson said, “Although Dorothy’s diagnosis was a horrific shock, it has been serendipitous that the organization has spent the last two years bullding
programs and expanding offerings so that it is not so Dorothy-centric. We knew the program could continue and grow without her.” Years of aching joints, digestive problems, and depression that landed her in a psychiatric hospital at age 29 led Mullen to conclude that mercury poisoning from extensive dental work, when she was 15, was the root of her ailments. Nothing seemed to work; no diagnosis made sense. Gradually, she began gardening, eliminating certain foods from her diet, and exercising, and realized she felt better. Sharing cooking, meals, and experiences with others helped too, forming the basis for Suppers. The program has been based at Mullen’s home. “We have plans for bricks and mortar, but I can’t say more than that,” said Yonish. “The garden will always be a big priority, though.” Programs created by Mullen will be solidified and expanded, Yonish said. “All of this is about providing the setting where people can develop and manage their paths to better health. Cooking will continue to be a huge piece of it.” Suppers’ members and board are navigating a difficult time. “But everyone is feeling gratitude, as we always have toward Dorothy, but especially now,” said Yonish. “We’re not trying to carry it forward just for her. We know its an effective program. So it’s a mood of gratitude, and also ‘let’s do this.’ We know it’s the right

thing to do, and will continue to help people.” Suppers is suppor ted, largely, by individual donors. “We are going to try to raise money in a serious way, very soon,” said Yonish. “We also want to develop programs that will bring in some programmatic revenue.” In her recent note on the Suppers website, Mullen wrote, “Suppers will continue to exist because of a team of dedicated and engaged staff, Board members and volunteers who are committed to the continuation of our program.” “The communty piece of Suppers is what makes it different from anything else I’ve seen,” said Reinson. “The core of the organization is the community, and that’s the eaters, the farmers, and health care practitioners all working together to guide people along their path to greater health. Dorothy, in her brilliance, has created these safe, non-judgmental environments for people to explore incremental changes that, over time, have great impact. Yonish said, “She’s one in a million. That’s all I can say about her.” —Anne Levin

Princeton-Blairstown Center (PBC) recently welcomed Will Miller, Aline Silva, and Derek Simpkins to its board of trustees. Miller is the dean of students for the Upper School at M o or e s tow n Fr i e n d s School. He spent much of his adult life in Texas teaching and coaching in public schools, including a decade leading college access and equity programs to guide low-income, first-generation students toward four-year college entry. He has over 15 years of experience in both K-12 schools and university settings. Miller received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Houston; a Master of Education in educational leadership and school administration from Prairie View A&M University; and a Master of Arts in higher and post-secondary education administration from Columbia University — Teachers College.
Derek Simpkins Silva is currently the assistant vice president for human resources, payroll and benefits division, of Northfield Bank. Born in Brazil, she spent her formative years in New York City, and became the first in her family to graduate from college. She has over 15 years of experience in human resources and payroll management with a variety of retail and financial institutions. She received her Bachelor of Science in business management with a concentration in hospitality management from the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. With a professional career spanning more than 30 years, Simpkins served as a financial services professional in brokerage, banking, and currency markets. His previous involvement with the Princeton-Blairstown Center includes several years serving as a committee member for the Links to Youth golf outing fundraiser. In 2018 and 2019, he also served as co-chair of that fundraising committee. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and Spanish from Rutgers University in New Brunswick. PBC’s President and CEO Pam Gregory said, “We are honored to welcome these three talented individuals to our board of trustees. Their diverse professional and personal experiences strengthen the board and help ensure its continued com m it m e nt to h elp i n g all young people develop the skills needed to learn, grow, and lead in a changing world.” PBC is an independent nonprofit with a mission to empower young people, primarily from under-resourced communities, to strengthen their social-emotional skills through experiential, environmental, and adventurebased programming. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) includes five core competencies: self-awareness, selfmanagement, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. The variety of year-round, multi-service programs serve nearly 8,000 participants each year.
Bouldin Named PPS Business Administrator
Matthew Bouldin, currently serving as business administrator for the Hoboken Public Schools, has been appointed as the new business administrator/board secretary of the Princeton Public Schools (PPS), succeeding Stephanie Kennedy, who retired earlier this year. Thomas Venanzi is currently serving as interim business administrator/board secretary. The PPS Board of Education voted unanimously to appoint Bouldin, who has also served as an assistant business administrator for both the Bayonne and
Hillsborough Public School Districts. A CPA who began his career as an auditor with global accounting and investment firms, Bouldin has an economics degree from the State University of New York at Albany and an MBA from Rutgers Graduate School of Management. As the district business administrator, Bouldin will oversee the business office, the facilities department, transportation, and food services, as PPS implements the facilities upgrades associated with the recently approved $26.9 million bond referendum, as well as a budget that requires the closing of a nearly $2 million gap between revenues and rising expenses. “Matt is coming to us with extensive experience,” said PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane. “He has closed significant budget gaps, worked collaboratively on contract negotiations, and has provided oversight of federal grants, food service, transportation, and all aspects of the business office from purchasing to payroll. Most importantly, he has demonstrated his ability to find creative, cost-effective ways to support teaching and learning. We look forward to his approach and perspective as we continue to provide an outstanding education in the face of growing enrollments and fiscal constraints.” Bouldin, a Montgomery resident with two children, w ill assu me his new re sponsibilities in Princeton on August 27.
Hunterdon Land Trust Delaware River Program
Celebrating the natural, cultural, and historic importance of the Delaware River to Hunterdon County, the Hunterdon Land Trust will present a series of programs starting Sunday, July 28. The first two programs of the Historic Delaware River Series will take place at the Dvoor Farm, 111 Mine Street in Flemington, during the Sunday farmers’ market. The third program will be a Frenchtown walking tour. Hal Taylor, author of The Illustrated History of the Delaware River, will lead the July 28 10:30 a.m. presentation, including information about the river along with many illustrations from his book. On August 18 at 10 a.m. Mary A. Shafer, author of Devastation on the Delaware River, will discuss how record-breaking rainfalls from Hurricanes Connie and Diane caused the river to surge downstream, tearing away bridges and ripping houses from their foundations. Hurricane Diane in 1955 killed a total of 99 people in the Delaware Valley, and destroyed 59 bridges and more than 20,000 homes, according to the Hunterdon Land Trust press release. The Downtown Frenchtow n Walking Tour w ith j ou r na lis t a nd long t i m e resident Rick Epstein at 3 p.m. on September 8 will include information about the town’s beginnings and why the guillotine motivated the founder to flee France; the Great Fire of 1878; Senator Martin’s alligators; and why Annie Oakley and Mary Tyler Moore slept there. The series is sponsored by the National Park Service’s Lower Delaware Wild and Scenic Program.

Lambertville Students’ “Dialogue About History”
Lambertville area students and residents recently reflected on feminism, The Flood of 1955, the tumultuous 1960s, Vietnam, and other issues for an interactive dialogue about local history in the context of national and international issues, curated by the Lambertville Historical Society for its 2019 scholarship program. South Hunterdon Regional High School (SHRHS) students asked questions about important subjects from the 1950s through the 1970s. Residents who lived in the Lambertville area during that time replied. The students then reacted to the residents, noting if the answers surprised them and
added to or changed their understanding of Lambertville or their topics. The dialogue can be browsed by topic at: https:// lambertvillehistoricalsociety. org/a-dialogue-about-history. SHRHS Senior Ethan Sirak was awarded the $500 scholarship. “Ethan analyzed a significant national event in the local context in his well-written essay,” said L auren Braun-Strumfels, who reviewed the students’ work for the scholarship. “He gave pertinent examples and tied his research well with the responses from the residents,” added fellow reviewer, Nancy Campbell. After the written dialogue was completed, four of the students and their families visited the James Wilson Marshall House to meet residents who had answered their questions. The Lambertville Historical Society promotes, inspires, and encourages the preservation and appreciation of Lambertville’s architecture and history through education, community involvement, and preserving and maintaining the James Wilson Marshall House.

Morven Museum & Garden Experienced Record-Setting Attendance This Year
To the Editor: The numbers are in! This year, Morven Museum & Garden experienced record-setting attendance. Thanks to your support over the past fiscal year, Morven welcomed 18,288 attendees and 2,400 guests to this year’s 4th of July Jubilee. This year has been full of changes and growth. Last June, we opened the Stockton Education Center, hosting many classes and events in this large open space. In August, we opened our new permanent collection, the reimagining of our first floor exhibition, Historic Morven: A Window into America’s Past. Pairing with it, we hosted New Jersey’s first ever Slave Dwelling Project, bringing together historians and the public to discuss the history of enslaved peoples at historic sites like Morven. Our winter show, Masters of Illusion: The Legacy of John F. Peto, presented a new look at trompe l’oeil art in New Jersey and welcomed many school and art groups. Our current special exhibit, New Jersey Baseball: From the Cradle to the Major Leagues, 1855-1915 looks at New Jersey’s place in the early history of baseball. We held many events and classes: pressed flower workshops, tea and tour programs, story time for children ages 3-6, and classes and events held in collaboration with the Arts Council of Princeton, Historical Society of Princeton, Princeton Public Library, New Brunswick Chamber Orchestra, and other community partners. Countless other lectures, tours and programs have taken place over the past year, and we appreciated your attendance at all of them. We look forward to welcoming everyone to many other events.

Producer for CBS News Cites His Experience as PCTV Intern
To the Editor: I am writing on behalf of Princeton Community TV as a former intern. Without my experiences at PCTV, I wouldn’t have made it to my current position as a producer for CBS News in the top media market of New York City. Working at PCTV not only introduced me to what it takes to produce high-quality television programming, but also taught he how vital the service is to the growing and diverse Princeton community. I’ve met and worked with several passionate and hardworking staff members at the station. Their dedication to telling stories and producing quality content with limited resources showed me the power of how the television medium can greatly benefit the community. These members come in on their own accord and share their knowledge for the benefit of others. Cutting resources to an effort like this is antithetical to the Princeton I know. As a graduate from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication at Syracuse University, I learned how important it is to keep diverse voices on the air, especially in a time where media companies and towns are looking to cut corners to save money. While this might seem like a possible benefit now, I can assure you, silencing voices and limiting this mighty group’s capabilities will end up hurting the community in the long run. Princeton is a town that values education and new ideas. This is exactly what viewers gain when consuming PCTV content. PCTV gave me an internship opportunity when I didn’t have any prior experience. In turn, what I received was an unquantifiable experience that launched my career in journalism. It’s time the Princeton Council invests in and supports PCTV the same way the station invests in this rich and respected community. Thank you for the support. I hope you will visit PCTV and discover for yourself the benefits it provides to a countless numbers of Princeton community members. STEPHEN KONOWITZ Perrine Path, Princeton Junction Editor’s Note: While we’ve been unable to run all the letters we’ve received on this subject and although the municipality’s decision appears to be unequivocal, we have continued to run a limited number as testimonials to what has been a valuable community resource.
“Too Deep for Tears” – “Goodnight Moon” and the 50th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s First Step Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. —William Wordsworth he younger you are, the closer you are to the moon, whether it’s dangling in a mobile above the crib, or the funny-faced thing the cow jumped over, or the serene presence just outside the bedroom window you’re saying goodnight to as you serenade your drowsy two-year-old with the little book by Margaret Wise Brown. In the story made at once wondrous and intimate by Clement Hurd’s images, the moon is there with you, in the “great green room,” as close and as real as the teddy bears and the kittens and the telephone. I’m also thinking of the moonlight immediacy captured some 220 years ago by Samuel Taylor Coleridge when the author of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner grabbed his notebook to jot down this entry about his first-born child: “Hartley fell down & hurt himself — I caught him up crying & screaming — & ran out of doors with him. — The Moon caught his eye — he ceased crying immediately; — & his eyes & the tears in them, how they glittered in the Moonlight!” A “Very Special” Remembrance Fifty years ago yesterday Apollo 11 began the American journey that ended on the moon, July 20, 1969. While celebratory coverage — like the special section in Sunday’s New York Times — attempts to do justice to an awe-inspiring event, it’s also a reminder of how much we, at least the grown-ups among us, have taken the miracle for granted, as well as the moon itself. In Neil Armstrong: A Life of Flight (Thomas Dunne 2014), NBC News Space Correspondent Jay Barbee describes Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin performing a series of “chores” that included planting an American flag “stiffened with wire so that it would appear to fly on the airless moon,” whose “subsurface was so hard that they could barely get the pole to stand.” Besides the placing of mementoes for “five deceased American and Russian spacemen,” several other undisclosed “remembrances” were left, one of them, in Barbee’s words, “very special” to Armstrong, “a part of an unfinished life.” He’s referring to Karen Anne (“Muffie”) Armstrong, the two-year-old who died from an inoperable brain tumor on her parents’ sixth wedding anniversary, January 28, 1962. According to Barbee, who became Armstrong’s friend, “Neil’s analytical and scientifically driven core would not permit him to believe there could not be a procedure to surgically remove the tumor .... He would long for his daughter ... for the rest of his life,” never losing “those special
T
protective feelings he had for his little girl.” People close to him were convinced that Karen Anne’s death “was the single most important reason he would submit his name to become an astronaut. Her death gave him a new purpose.” Looking through the copy of Goodnight Moon we still have after 43 years, I’m thinking that the same little book, first published by Harper & Row in 1947 and selling in the tens of thousands a decade later, would have been a natural for Neil and Janet Armstrong to read to their two-year-old daughter in May 1961, no doubt amused by the way the domesticated storybook moon coincided with President Kennedy’s call for the nation to commit itself to the goal of landing a man there “and returning him safely to earth” before the end of the decade. Mailer Gets It The most memorable account of the occasion I’ve read is Norman Mailer’s Of a Fire on the Moon (Little Brown 1970), “the cosmically sprawling monograph” James Parker refers to in the July Atlantic as “an utterly idiosyncratic take on the moon landing.” After describing it as “bonkers,” “deliriously tasteless,” and “bloated with prophetic wind,” Parker qualifies the put-downs, pointing out that, as always in Mailer’s universe, “the dross and the gold are whirled together.” Covering the pre-launch press conference held with the Apollo crew, Mailer appears to be following the example set with his portrait of Jack Kennedy at the 1960 Democratic convention (“Superman at the Supermart”), reinventing Neil Armstrong as a fascinatingly ambiguous hero in the great American narrative. In Mailer’s shoot-from-the-hip profile, originally published in Life magazine, Armstrong had “the sad lonely mien of a cross-country runner... also the sly privacy of a man whose thoughts may never be read.” Not only was he “simply not like other men,” he “was apparently in communion with some string in the universe others
did not think to play.” He was “the man nearest to being saintly” among the astronauts, “yet there was something as hard, small-town and used in his face as the look of a cashier over pennies....He would smile on command...a very useful smile...the smile of an enterprising small-town boy. He could be an angel, he could be the town’s devil...You could not penetrate the flash of the smile — all of America’s bounty was in it. Readiness to serve, innocence, competence, modesty, sly humor....” The payload delivered by Mailer’s improvisatory approach to reportage (“a vertigo of impressions”) comes with Armstrong’s response to a question about “the maximum tension” felt in the moments “before blast-off.” Presumably without knowledge of the little girl’s death, Mailer is alert to the emotional undertone in Armstrong’s reply: “It’s nothing new. It’s the thing that’s been done before, and done very well, and we’re quite sure this girl will go.” The last words were spoken “solemnly, pleasantly, lightly, carefully, s a d l y, s w e e t l y. ” Call it what you will, prescient genius or sheer luck, Mailer’s spontaneous litany suggests Armstrong’s stillacute sense of loss, beginning with the hint of paternal affection in the use of the word girl for a rocket to the moon. Mailer concludes his demonstration of the difference between a writer with a mission and a journalist with an assignment, observing that the character he has just delineated “was a presence in the room, as much a spirit as a man.” “A few months before Neil’s own passing,” Barbee writes in A Life of Flight, “I asked him, ‘Is there something of Muffie’s on the moon?’ I read his smile to mean yes.” “First Man” My lack of interest in last fall’s release of Damien Chazelle’s biopic First Man is a good example of what I meant about taking the moon landing for granted. You’d have thought
that a film made by an ex-Princeton High student and Academy Awardwinning director would have attracted my interest. Even now, all I’ve seen are some YouTube clips, notably the scene on the moon when Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) leaves a sentimental remembrance, his daughter’s bracelet, Hollywood’s version of the secret behind the death-bed smile Barbee observed and that Mailer intuited, nicely described by A.O. Scott in his New York Times review “as a kind of Rosebud, a half-buried center of emotional and psychological gravity, a source of motive and meaning” for Armstrong and his wife Janet (Claire Foy). Along with the gripe Fox News passed on to Trump so he could feed the red meat to his base — that the film failed to show Armstrong and Aldrin planting the American flag — there was some critical debate about the moment when Gosling appears to be in tears as he gives his daughter’s bracelet to the moon. While Armstrong might not mind the idea of the bracelet, he would almost certainly disapprove of the tears. As the New Yorker’s Anthony Lane puts it, “The whole narrative is shaped around the death of his daughter; he has visions of her when he least expects them, even upon reaching his destination. Is that really a teardrop that we see inside his helmet, sliding down his cheek? .... Skillful and compelling this film may be, but, if Neil Armstrong had been the sort of fellow who was likely to cry on the moon, he wouldn’t have been the first man chosen to go there.” he id e a of the “ firs t man” leaving his dead child’s bracelet on the moon does have a fairytale quality. You could even see it as homage to Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd’s little book, as if one of those everyday objects in the “great green room,” maybe a mitten or a teddy bear, had gone along for the ride. —Stuart Mitchner
T
As usual, I’m indebted to the Princeton Public Library, this time for the copy of Jay Barbee’s Neil Armstrong: A Life of Flight that I consulted. Also on the shelves was the biography the film is based on, James R. Hansen’s First Man (Simon & Schuster 2005), published almost a decade earlier and at 769 pages almost twice as long. I picked Barbee’s biography because of length and the fact that it was the most recent, and more than that, because of John Glenn’s foreword, where after pointing out that Armstrong “was never comfortable with fame, hated talking about himself,” Glenn, the first man to orbit the earth, asks “so how do you write about Neil Armstrong’s life of flight? It helps if you are Jay Barbee, a friend and a pilot.”

“Culture of Collaboration” Is So Percussion Theme
in every successful artistic project. In addition to performances and an annual foodpacking event for Arm in Arm (formerly the Crisis Ministry of Mercer County), the institute includes premieres of new pieces written by Princeton University graduate student composers, masterclasses with composers and performers, and open readings of participants’ works-in-progress by members of So Percussion. Since its inception in 1999, education has been a vital part of So Percussion’s mission. Its members share a belief that inherent in an artist’s career is a responsibility to pass on practical advice and mentorship to young artists. The annual So Percussion Summer Institute ( SoSI ), founded in 2009, provides a unique educational opportunity to percussionists and composers at one of the most critical stages of their development. The program offers a hands-on experience that brings the practical and theoretical together by commissioning and creating new
music, collaborations, rehearsals and development, and performance. As of 2014, So Percussion are the Edward T. Cone Performers-in-Residence at Princeton University, making Princeton a year-round hub of their activities. SoSI is an integral part of the performance and composition scene at Princeton. Each year, Princeton Ph.D. students write new works for SoSI students, and several alumni of the SoSI composition program have since studied there. Performances began Monday, July 14. Donations of non-perishable food, toiletries, and diapers for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) are being collected at these concerts. Audience members may place their donations in the designated boxes outside the performance space. Auditing options are available to the general public. Visit sopercussion.com for more information on auditing, and a full schedule of locations and programs.
So Percussion, the Princeton University Edward T. Cone Ensemble-in-Residence, has begun the 2019 So Percussion Summer Institute (“SoSI”). Now in its 11th year, the twoweek chamber music seminar is a summer cultural tradition in Princeton, with showcases of the range of percussion instruments included in the institute. Free performances are being held through July 27 at locations on and off the campus, including the Lewis Center for the Arts, Small World Coffee, Hinds Plaza, and Fine Hall.

“DREAMING IN COLOR”: “Colors of Spring” by Debbie Pisacreta, above, and “Sunday in the Park” by Maxine Shore, below, will be featured in a two-person exhibit on view at Artists’ Members’ Exhibition at Gallery in Lambertville August 8 through September 1. An opening reception is Saturday, Contemporary Art Center August 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. The Center for Contemporary Art (“The Center”) in Bedminster has announced its annual Members’ Non-Juried Exhibition and Sale, a yearly opportunity for members to showcase their artwork in any and all media. The variety and range of entries is a testament to the diversity and creativity of The Center’s community of artists.

“Dreaming in Color” At Artists’ Gallery
Fine artists Debbie Pisacreta and Maxine Shore will exhibit paintings expressing their personal visions in a two-person show, “Dreaming in Color,” on view August 8 through September 1 at Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville. An opening reception is Saturday, August 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. Pisacreta says she has always had an emotional reaction to color. Her paintings show the intricacies and relationships of color that are carefully observed from painting on location. She specializes in plein air landscapes, and is usually drawn to a scene not only by the qualities of light and color it has, but also by the calm or quiet feeling it inspires within her. Her goal is to create a visual story that communicates her emotional connection to a specific time and place. Pisacreta’s work has been exhibited in local juried art shows and plein air events, where she has won several awards. She is also a painting instructor at the Arts Council of Princeton. Maxine Shore notes that her paintings express her remembrance of things past. “My visions of places or events I have exper ienced, seen through my mind’s eye, are conveyed in the vivid colors that I love to use in my work.” Her paintings depict favorite areas of New York, scenes of
her travels, and recollections of places she has lived. Shore is an award-winning oil painter whose work has been exhibited throughout the United States, and is included in many private, public, and corporate collections. Using color and light in an effort to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, she is more interested in interpreting how a place makes her feel than simply reproducing how it looks. Inspiration for her paintings often comes from travel to places near and far that spark her imagination. One of her paintings depicting an Italian town was prominently featured in the New York Times. Artists’ Gallery is located at 18 Bridge Street in Lambertville. It is open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and by appointment. For more information, visit www.lambertvillearts.com.
Igoe Named American Art Curator at Michener
The Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., has announced that Laura Turner Igoe has been named its new curator of American art. Igoe joins the Museum with curatorial experience from such institutions as the Harvard Art Museums, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Princeton University Art Museum, and The Barnes Foundation. She brings with her a foundation in American art with
a focus on the Philadelphia region. Exhibition projects she has contributed to include “Nature’s Nation: American Art and Environment,” “The Philosophy Chamber: Art and Science in Harvard’s Teaching Cabinet, 1766-1820,” and “Audubon to Warhol: The Art of American Still Life.” Igoe’s interests and background mirror the Michener’s mission to promote the Pennsylvania landscape, and specifically the Buck’s County region, as a treasure trove of world-renowned art. Additionally, she is the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards and is widely published, including A Greene Country Towne: Philadelphia’s Ecology in the Cultural Imagination, which she co-edited with Alan C. Braddock (State College, Pa.: Penn State University Press, 2016). Igoe received her bachelor of arts in art history and studio art from Dickinson College and her masters in art history and fine arts administration from Tyler School of Art, Temple University, where she also earned her Ph.D. in art history. “We are so pleased to welcome Dr. Igoe to the Michener,” said Executive Director Kathleen V. Jameson. “Her thoughtful scholarship will be central to the development of our exhibition program, starting immediately with ‘Impressionism to Modernism: The Lenfest Collection of American Art,’ and especially as we begin planning

for a landmark presentation of the work of the Philadelphia Ten. Her depth of collaborative experience will also be an asset as she serves as the Michener liaison to the Pennsylvania cohort of the Art Bridges + Terra Foundation Initiative, the collection sharing program spearheaded by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The formation of these types of meaningful partnerships is critical to the Michener’s continued growth as it enters its third decade.” Igoe said, “The Michener Art Museum’s collection appeals deeply to my long-standing interests in the art history of the Philadelphia region and the relationship between art and the environment. I’m very much looking forward to working closely with the museum staff and the local community to develop exhibitions that shed new light on the area’s rich artistic history.” The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street, Doylestown.

Photography Exhibit at MCCC’s Kerney Gallery
Mercer County Communit y College’s ( MCCC’s ) James Kerney Campus Gallery (JKCG) in Trenton presents “The Figure a Por-
trait Makes,” contemporary interpretations of the genre of portraiture by ten current and former MCCC Visual Arts students. The exhibition runs Monday, July 29 through Friday, August 23. The exhibit features photography by Ramie Ahmed, Timothy Dill, John Labaw, E li z ab e t h Mayer, Is a ia h Mcrae, Julia Pfaar, Regina Ritter, Danielle Rackowski, Zac Santanello, and Grace Spencer. The community is invited to a reception with the photographers on Friday, August 2, 3 to 6 p.m., held in conjunction with a concert by students and faculty from Mercer’s Summer Jazz Institute, to be performed outdoors at the campus. The gallery’s director and curator is Michael ChovanDalton, coordinator of the MCCC Photography pro gram. Chovan - Dalton is co-curating this show with Ryann Casey, adjunct instructor of art. Accord i ng to Chova n Dalton, historically, portraiture has been used to represent the power, status, and wealth of an individual or a group by reproducing their idealized likeness. “In the early days, photographers imitated this process as best they could with lighting, costume, and scenery but soon they began to embrace the more vernacular descriptions that the photographic process could offer,” he said. Chovan-Dalton notes that t hrough t he me d iu m of photography, por traiture has branched out into environmental portraits, documentar y/travel portraits,
“THE FIGURE A PORTRAIT MAKES”: This portrait by Ramie Ahmed is among works by ten current or former MCCC Visual Arts students to be featured in a new exhibit at MCCC’s James Kerney Campus Gallery in Trenton July 29 through August 23. A community reception is scheduled for August 2 from 3 to 6 p.m. p h otoj o u r n a l i s m , s t r e e t photography, self-portraits, and, of course, the snapshot. “Photographic portraiture has been used to exoticize, colonialize, demonize, classify, document, heroicize, connect, heal, and memorialize. It has been a tool for our worst and best impulses,” said Chovan-Dalton, adding that the show’s title is based on an essay Robert Frost wrote as a preface to his 1939 edition of Collected Poems. JKCG is located in MCCC’s Trenton Hall, 137 Nor th Broad Street, across the street from the James Kerney Building. Exhibit hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or by appointment by emailing jkcgallery@mccc. edu. For more information, visit www.mccc.edu/jkcgallery.

Fine Home Furnishings and Accessories Highlight Gasior’s Furniture & Interior Design
N
ot m a ny f u r n it u re stores are found in a school house. That, however, is the unique setting of Gasior’s Furniture & Interior Design at 2152 Route 206 South in Belle Mead.
IT’S NEW To Us
Opened in 1918, the Harlingen School accommodated kindergarten through 12th grade until 1972. Six years later, Gasior’s moved in. “It was a good location for us,” explains founder and owner Richard (Dick) Gasior. “My wife, Donna, and I lived in West Windsor, and we had seen the school house. It provided a lot of nice space.” The opening of Gasior’s was a continuation of Donna Gasior’s family history, continues Dick Gasior. “My father-in-law had a furniture store in northern New Jersey, and Donna had grown up in the business. We decided to start a venture of our own, and we thought being near Princeton was a plus for the store.” Formal Elegance The selection has evolved over the years, he reports. Originally, there was a cross section of furniture, but, in time, the focus changed to 18th century reproduction. For those who appreciated history, formal elegance, and high quality, it proved to be a good match, he adds. “This furniture is timeless,” says Gasior. “It is the finest craftsmanship, including dovetail joints, and it is always of the highest quality.” The formal 18th century reproduction pieces often feature mahogany, cherry, and walnut woods, and important manufacturers are
Hickory Chair, Baker, Centur y, Hancock & Moore, Henkel Harris, and Kittinger (which has furnished many of the desks and conference tables at the White House), among others, along with Howard Miller clocks. While there is still strong interest in these elegant 18th century pieces, a more informal style of furniture has become popular in recent years. Aware of changing tastes, the Gasiors have added more variety to their selection, including lifestyle lines offering dining room, bedroom, living room, and family room choices, as well as an entertainment, den, and home office selection. “Furniture that is between traditional and contemporary is considered transitional,” explains Gasior, “and this style is favored by many people today. We offer lifestyle lines from Hickory Craft, Bernhardt, and Legacy Classics. Century and Hancock & Moore Leather are quality manufacturers that offer all styles, from traditional to transitional to modern.” Customization in color, fabric, and finishes is available today, and many customers like to have this opportunity,” adds son Todd Gasior. “This offers a variety of options in many areas. Value pricing and quality are available. Customers like the chance for customizing sofas. chairs, and tables. You can pick your own, and there are many, many choices.” Big Deal A l s o, h e p o i n t s o u t , “Leather is a very big deal now in chairs and sofas. It is stylish and comfortable, offered in different colors and styles, and we have exceptionally soft leather.” Transitional furniture often features gray tones, notes Dick Gasior. “Gray has
been popular for the last few years, and continues to be favored. Transitional dining tables can be of all kinds of wood, and some offer a more contemporary style with metal legs. “Swivel arm chairs and tilt-backs are big favorites now, too, and sectionals remain strong sellers.” For those customers with game rooms and dens, game tables are also available at Gasior’s, and have always had steady appeal. End tables and occasional tables are all on display. The store continues to offer a full range of accessories, including lighting, mirrors, and clocks. Floor lamps and table lamps from Currey and Company and Visual Comfort are favorites in many styles. Howard Miller offers a handsome selection of clocks, including grandfather styles, among others. Mirrors are available in many shapes and sizes, from traditional to dramatic and unusual. G a s i o r’s s e l e c t i o n o f framed art is another attraction at the store, and highlights original oils, prints, and botanicals in assorted sizes and themes. Looking at the art while browsing through the many sample dining, living, and bedrooms is part of the pleasure of visiting this handsome store. Customers are never rushed as they try out a leather chair or admire the classic lines of a special sideboard. Hand-Tufted Gasior’s also continues to offer assorted gift items, such as popular blue and white porcelain bowls, specialty boxes, and topiaries, among other items. In addition, the store carries the high quality Shifman mattresses, which are handmade in Newark. “These are twosided, extremely well-made,
FAMILY TRADITION: “We’re set apart by our service, quality products, and long history. Customers know they can rely on our extensive knowledge of the products.” The father and sons team at Gasior’s Furniture & Interior Design includes, from left, Todd, Dick (Dad), and Gregory. They are shown by a Hancock & Moore Austin leather tilt-back chair. and hand-tufted with natural material,” points out Dick Gasior. “Cotton is the primary fill. This is a signature item for us, and it is noted for comfort and durability.” The interior design department has long been a highlight at Gasior’s. Headed by Donna Gasior, it offers complimentary visits to clients’ homes to help them create the perfect environment. Full design service, including carpeting and wall coverings, is available, and many samples are on display. “We can help with one pie ce of f u r n it u re, on e room, or the entire house,” explains Dick Gasior. “We do the whole range — draperies, carpeting, colors, and so on. This is very helpful for people. The designer can save you hours of searching. Why not avail yourself of someone’s expertise?” As he looks back on Gasior’s long history, Dick Gaisor says he is struck by the many longtime customers — often the second generation in the
same family. “Even when they move to new homes, they continue to be our customers, both for new furniture and design,” he points out. “In addition to the Princeton area, we go to Connecticut, New York, and even Florida to decorate. “Also, we recently had a call from a former client who had moved and sent us a picture of a dining table they had gotten from us 27 years ago. It was solid cherry, and still in excellent condition. It just needed an adjustment on one of the legs, which we took care of.” New Turn Now, Gasior’s stor y is about to take a new turn, as Dick Gasior steps back from the daily responsibilities of running the business. “I thought it was time for my sons to take charge,” he explains. “They grew up in the business, and have been involved full-time. Now they will be partners and manage the business. Donna will continue with the design work.
“It means a great deal to have the family business continue. It will really be the third generation, having started with my fatherin-law. I will be on hand as a consultant.” Todd and Gregory Gasior look forward to this new development in Gasior’s history, and are enthusiastic about new opportunities. “We will continue to provide the service and quality Gasior’s has always been known for,” says Todd Gasior. “We are offering a selection of new quality products, and people can also now order online from our website. The challenge is always to reach a broader clientele, and we are confident that even more customers will come to rely on Gasior’s special service and quality products.” Gasior’s summer hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (908) 874-8383.

Tobias Design, LLC of Hopewell, specializing in custom kitchen design solutions, recently announced that it received the Chrysalis Award in conjunction with Baxter Construction for a joint residential remodeling project. Since 1994 the Chrysalis Awards honors the finest remodeling projects in the nation. The 2019 Chrysalis
Awards recognized 77 companies from across the United States that set new standards of excellence and professionalism for residential and commercial remodeling. The entries were judged on overall design, the creative use of space and materials, and the degree to which the project enhanced the original structure. “Our team is honored to receive this prestigious
national recognition with our respected business neighbor, Baxter Construction, with whom we teamed up with for this kitchen and family room renovation,” said Lisa Tobias, owner and designer of Tobias Design, LLC. “To win an award in this highly competitive category is quite an achievement,” says Ken Kanline, director of the Awards for Chrysalis. “The Chrysalis is the Oscars for
residential and commercial builders throughout the country and is a true honor for any company to earn.” The Tobias Design and Baxter Construction project involved a kitchen and family room renovation to update and improve the flow of the homeowners’ lower level of their home. The project entailed removing a partition wall separating the living room and entry area from the kitchen space to create an
open feeling all on a tight deadline to meet the needs of the family. The end-result was a beautiful space that improved the functionality of the lower level of the home while maintaining a sleek and stylish design.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Anthony Rabara Studio for Pilates
The Anthony Rabara Studio for Pilates is an exceptional place for Pilates study. Anthony is a Master teacher, and one of a few who has direct lineage to Joseph Pilates. The studio is fully equipped with every apparatus that the genius Pilates built since the early 1920s, from the smallest 6-inch apparatus to the largest 12-foot tower. Anthony and his team of teachers maintain the quality and spirit of his work and officially train teachers. The studio not a gym. There is no membership fee. Prices are comparable to other places that offer Pilates. One should know the difference between a Pilates “based” workout and the real deal. There are clubs opening up all the time, but they combine other athletics with Pilates and they call it Pilates. It is not. Oftentimes their training is insufficient; perhaps only one to six month’s training, so they will never know the scope of this wonderful method of balancing the body. Take a look at our studio, where there is ONE discipline to help the highlevel athlete (the skier, the tri-athlete, the ball player); those with physical issues whether it be a recovering hip replacement, arthritis, or back ailments; as well as those who simply want to strengthen core muscles and correct posture and add balance. On any given day, you may see the fit person and a person referred to us by a Princeton physiatrist or orthopedist in our studio. Pilates is an equal opportunity activity for all ages. Whoever the client is, they leave the studio feeling taller and more physically fit. Our experienced teachers bring out the best in this technique and the best in the client. 392 Wall Street, Princeton. ( 609 ) 921-7990 ; w w w. rabarapilates.com.
Good Grief
Grief is a public health issue. According to Dr. Robert Block, past president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, “Adverse Childhood Experiences are the single greatest unaddressed public health threat facing our nation today.” Childhood bereavement is not a public health outlier; it is a consistently unaddressed public health threat. According to the JAG Institute, one out of seven children experience the death of a parent or sibling before the age of 25 in New Jersey. The lack of attention childhood bereavement receives is, in part, the result of this public health threat falling victim to a culture that is uncomfortable with its mortality. This discomfort comes at an extraordinary cost to children, who find themselves in a world in which adults and institutions do not know how to address the emotional, physical, and intellectual needs of their grief. “Childhood bereavement
is a public health threat because on the other side of death awaits diseases of despair and toxic stress for those children who are not in responsive environments that provide support, empathy, and resources,” said Joe Primo, Good Grief CEO. “While grief is a normal part of the human situation, our culture’s lack of resources and responsiveness made available to children facing this adversity put them at risk.” Every month, Good Grief supports more than 750 participants at its Morristown, Princeton, Newark, and Jersey City locations. They support children in classrooms and at summer camp, educate their parents, and advocate for children through thought-leadership and national partnerships like Option B and the Funeral Service Foundation. While there is a wellspring across the nation with programs in many communities, there still is not nearly enough. There is no quick fix to childhood bereavement. Childhood bereavement requires all of us to think differently, respond empathically, and change how we care for and educate children. It starts with opening a dialogue about this difficult topic so that our discomfort is lessened and we can be fully present to our children, who will soon be the healthy adults we need them to become. For more information on Good Grief’s programs, to volunteer, make a gift, or help spread the word, visit www.good-grief.org/expansion or contact info@goodgrief.org.

The new school year means athletes will be participating in rigorous sports schedules that can often lead to minor injuries such as sprains and strains, or more serious problems such as concussions. A concussion is caused by a blow to the head or the body with an impulsive force to the head that can disrupt the brain’s physiology. When a player is hit in the head, it’s important to immediately remove them from play for the day and look for signs and symptoms of a concussion that include headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness, confusion, vomiting, vision changes, and amnesia. If the player exhibits any of these, they should be examined by a doctor before returning to play. Led by Arlene Goodman, MD, a specialist in pediatric and adolescent concussion, the Saint Peter’s Sports Medicine Institute is the premier provider of concussion care in the Central New Jersey region. The expert staff provides comprehensive evaluations and management of concussions with the goal of helping the athlete heal quickly and preventing longterm consequences. To avoid a concussion, athletes should be encouraged to follow good sportsmanship, proper technique, and be sure to wear properly fitting equipment.

Concierge Medicine
There’s a new trend in healthcare, and it’s gaining momentum in our area. By Sarah Emily Gilbert (Originally published in Princeton Magazine) Dr. Barbara A. Brown (left) and Dr. Lynne B. Kossow of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine.
F
or the past few years, Dr. Lynne B. Kossow and Dr. Barbara A. Brown of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine have offered their patients far more than the traditional primary care practice. Most doctors see 25-30 patients a day for an average of 15 minutes, but Drs. Kossow and Brown see six to eight patients a day for up to an hour. In addition to providing treatment for acute illnesses, the doctors act as their clients’ healthcare coaches through Lifestyle Medicine, a scientific approach to patient wellness by effecting changes in areas such as diet, physical activity, and stress management. With the current shortage of primary care physicians and the abundance of high volume practices, this type of individualized attention is rare. However, by switching to a concierge format, doctors like Kossow and Brown are able to practice medicine that consists of this broad-spectrum care. Concierge medicine, also known as retainer-based medicine, is an umbrella term for private medical care wherein patients pay an out-of-pocket fee in exchange for enhanced care. Born in the 1990s, concierge medicine was once thought of as a service for the wealthy that charged patients a lofty fee for luxury medicine. In recent years, it has evolved to accommodate patients across all income brackets, leading to expanding interest among patients and their primary care doctors. According to a survey released by the American Academy of Private Physicians at the AAPP 2015 Fall Summit, more than 45 percent of 862 independent physicians would consider a concierge or similar membership model in the next three years. This may be due in part to our aging population needing increased and varied medical services, leading to an imbalanced patient/doctor ratio. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of insured patients, putting a further strain on primary care doctors. As a result, physicians are often unable to dedicate enough time to each patient. In the hopes of increasing both job and patient satisfaction in a financially sustainable way, primary physicians like Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are looking toward concierge medicine. “Where conventional medicine is failing is in the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases that are becoming an epidemic in the United States today,” explain the doctors. “The current insurance model is built upon a problembased economic reimbursement that encourages doctors to address medical problems very quickly. This leads to most doctors rushing to see 25-30 patients per day in order to make ends meet…This is not how we have ever practiced. We always want to have the time to address the root cause of diseases that are preventable today.” Lifestyle Medicine is a 21st century approach to healthcare that consolidates the very best characteristics of traditional medicine with the profound impact of lifestyle behaviors on health. As our program grew, it became readily apparent to us that integrating Lifestyle Medicine into our internal medicine practice was the best way for us to continue to provide exceptional care. We feel that the concierge model is the only way to effectively do that.
Concierge medical practices come in various forms, including those that reject insurance plans all together, but this is not the case for Princeton Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown accept insurance for all covered medical services. In addition, their patients pay an annual fee of $1,200 for the Lifestyle Medicine Concierge program, which gives them access to an elevated level of care. Trained at the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the doctors are at the vanguard of their field, having lectured about their practice development model at The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine Conference in 2015. They are also members of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Physicians. They are among the first physicians to become board certified in Lifestyle Medicine, as well as maintaining their board certifications in internal medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown’s practice is unique in that it offers patients comprehensive conventional medical care combined with lifestyle counseling. Patients interested in a natural approach to disease prevention are provided in-depth, individualized coaching based on their needs. The doctors can assist with everything from quitting smoking to creating a manageable diet and exercise plan. According to the doctors, this is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to prevent, reverse, or slow down heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, and some cancers. The concierge model offers Princeton Lifestyle Medicine patients additional benefits including access to the doctors’ emails, cell phone numbers, and private phone line, extended patient office visits, a one-hour consultation, and same or next day appointments. As a result, patients see Drs. Kossow and Brown not only as accomplished medical doctors, but health advocates, mentors, and even friends. “Our practice structure allows us to spend more time educating our patients about what may be going on with them medically,” the doctors explain. “We are better able to work with them as partners in their care and advocate for them with their specialists or if they are in the hospital. We provide tremendous support and guidance to them and their caretakers or family. We are happy to have this enhanced communication with our patients. It allows us to make social visits when they are hospitalized at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro so that we can stay in close touch while they are receiving care.” Concierge practices like Princeton Lifestyle Medicine focus the healthcare system on its most vital component: the patient-doctor relationship. The model emphasizes quality care instead of quick care, benefitting both parties. Dr. Brown and Kossow are now board certified as specialists in the practice of Lifestyle Medicine and are the only physicians in the Princeton area who are board certified in both Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. As leaders in both concierge and Lifestyle medicine, it comes as no surprise that Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are at the forefront of this effort, bringing Princeton into the future of healthcare.
The Princeton Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program is $1,200 per year. The fee can be paid monthly, quarterly, biannually, or annually, and credit cards are accepted as payment. All medical services are billed through the patient’s insurance company as usual. Princeton Lifestyle Medicine is located at 731 Alexander Road, Suite 200 in Princeton, New Jersey.

Former PU Baseball Star Gross Bets On Himself, Ends Up Starring at Duke, Getting Drafted by Twins
B
en Gross bet on himself and it paid off big time. After producing a secondteam All-Ivy League campaign in 2018 in his senior season for the Princeton University baseball team, star pitcher Gross was picked by the Houston Astros in the 34th round of the Major League Draft. With a season of college eligibility remaining due to being sidelined by a shoulder injury, Gross declined to sign with the Astros and instead decided to play for Duke University where he had been accepted in a graduate business program. Hard-throwing righty Gross thrived for the Blue Devils, going 8-4 with a 4.40 ERA and 76 strikeouts in 75 2/3 innings, helping the team advance to the NCAA Nashville Super Regional. His success at Duke paid dividends, as Gross saw a big jump in his pro status, getting chosen by the Minnesota Twins in the 10th round of the MLB draft. He is currently pitching for Elizabethton (Tenn.), the organization’s rookie-level farm team in the Appalachian League. When Gross joined the Duke staff, his role was far from certain. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to contribute, I don’t think the coaches were either,” said the 6’1, 210 pound Gross, who starred at Princeton High
before heading across town to start his college career. “I knew I was going to pitch and I knew I was going to pitch big innings. It was just a matter of figuring out where I was going to fit into the rotation.” After beginning the season in the bullpen, some injuries landed Gross in the starting rotation and emerged as a Friday night starter. For Gross, a major challenge in competing for Duke was adjusting to the high level of play in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). “The margin for error is less,” said Gross. “The Ivy League has some pretty talented players but you can afford to pitch around those guys in the lineup whereas in the ACC, everyone in the lineup can hurt you.” In order to excel in the high-powered league, Gross had to fine-tune his mind-set on the mound. “Early in the year, I was focusing on some mechanical things that I was trying to work on and it didn’t work out when you are trying to get some pretty good hitters out,” said Gross. “Right around the time of the transition from reliever to starter, I focused on executing pitches and competing rather than mechanics. That combined with the fact that I hadn’t thrown that many innings so other teams
didn’t have a great scouting report on me led to a handful of pretty good outings.” With Gross shoring up the Duke rotation, the Blue Devils caught fire down the stretch, going 12-6 in their last 18 ACC regular season games. “I think if you were to ask anyone on the team, including the coaches, after the UNC series when we where 3-9 in ACC play, everyone would have told you we are a fringe ACC tournament team and we are not going to make a regional,” said Gross. “Then we swept Pitt at home; that was the fire under us, we said let’s get it going, we still have a shot here and then we put together a few more good series and we found ourselves in a regional. From then on, it is postseason baseball and anything can happen.” Despite the late surge, Gross and his teammates were on the edge of their seats as the NCAA tournament bracket was revealed. “We were watching the broadcast of the selection show and we are seeing some of the other fringe teams get in and we don’t see our name,” said Gross. “We get to the commercial break halfway through the show and we are all sort of biting our fingernails — ‘holy crap — we might not
GROSS PROFIT: Ben Gross fires a pitch in action this spring in a post-graduate season for the Duke University baseball team. Gross, a former Princeton High and Princeton University standout, went 8-4 with a 4.40 ERA and 76 strikeouts in 75 2/3 innings for the Blue Devils, helping the team advance to the NCAA Super Regional.

(Photo provided courtesy of Duke Athletics) get in,’ and then we saw saw our name pop up and we were going to Morgantown.” Facing Texas A&M to start the regional, Gross came through with a sparkling performance in an 8-5 win over the Aggies, giving up one run and striking out five in seven innings of work to get the victory. “It was fun, a game like that was the reason I went
to Duke in the first place,” said Gross. “I just lived in the moment. I tried not to let the moment get the best of me even though I was really excited to pitch in a game like that. It turned out to be one of my better outings this year.” A week later at the Nashville Super Regional, Gross produced another superb outing, getting the win in an 18-5 win over Vanderbilt, the eventual national champion. “Against that team there was no margin for error,” said Gross, who had seven strikeouts and gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings. “I was getting swings and misses on fastballs up in the zone. It was commanding that pitch where I wanted to and mixing speeds and keeping them off balance working off the fast ball. They got their hits and got on base, it was a matter of limiting the damage.” While Duke ended up falling to eventual national champion Vanderbilt 2-1 in the best-of-three series to finish with a 35-27 overall record, the sour ending didn’t outweigh the positives Gross gained from his Duke experience. “It was learning how to pitch to complete lineups and that level of competition,” said Gross, who earned a Masters in Management Studies from Duke’s Fuqua School of Business. “It was enjoying big moments and big games. Now I am playing in pro ball where the level of competition is even higher. I am crossing my fingers, hoping I can play in a handful more over the course of my career.” In reflecting on the MLB draft, Gross was surprised that it was the Twins who gave him the chance to compete at the pro level.
“I had a feeling that I was going to get picked either late on day two in the 8thto-10th round or early on day three, in the 10th-15th,” said Gross. “I had some calls earlier on in day two and then radio silence for the rest of the day and I was OK, that is fine, I can go early on day three, that is no big deal. I got a call a half an hour before the Twins 10th round pick and they very quickly told me. hey we are going to take you next round, be ready. I was excited but it was also where the hell did this come from.” After spending a few days at the Twins complex in Fort Myers, Fla., Gross was assigned to play for Elizabethton (Tenn.), the organization’s rookie-level farm team in the Appalachian League. He made his pro debut on June 20 against the Bluefield Blue Jays, giving up three runs and seven hits in four innings with two strikeouts. “I got a little unlucky but that is how baseball goes,” said Gross. “I got some soft contacts; the stat line didn’t represent how I feel I pitched.” As Gross settles in at Elizabethton, he is primed to stay in baseball for the long haul. “What I am very quickly finding out is that you just have to focus on one outing, one pitch at a time and let the organization take care of what happens next,” said Gross, who was 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 20 innings in his first four appearances. “I just have to get used to throwing 100 plus innings a year and hopefully eventually 200 plus innings in a few years.” After what Gross achieved this year, it would be foolish to bet against him. —Bill Alden

PU Water Polo Great Johnson To Play for U.S. in Worlds
For mer Princeton University women’s water polo star Ashleigh Johnson ‘17 will return to the international stage as she will play with the United States in the 2019 FINA World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea.

Producing Superb Debut Season for Xavier Baseball, PDS Alum Franzoni Shows Power Down the Stretch Luke Franzoni produced a power surge in his senior season for Princeton Day School in 2018, batting .538 with 10 homers, and 25 RBIs in 18 games. As Franzoni moved up the college level, joining the Xavier University baseball team this spring, he struggled in the early going with only one hit in his first 13 at-bats for the Musketeers. But in Xavier’s home opener against Evansville on March 22, Franzoni regained his power stroke, going 2-for-4 with a homer and five RBIs. “Being on the road for a long time, we all wanted to bring good energy for the first few home games,” said the 6’2, 185-pound Franzoni, who played both infield and outfield this spring for the Musketeers. “We knew that they had a really good pitcher on the mound who was throwing pretty hard. I knew he was probably going to throw a lot of fastballs so I was trying to stay on top of that. The home run was to left center, that was a really good feeling for the first one. That was only my
WITH INTEREST second hit of the season so getting it in that way, helping the team out and giving it energy was good.” That performance proved to be a turning point for Franzoni as he kept helping the team out the rest of the spring, ending up batting .254 with a team-high 11 homers and 35 RBIs as Xavier posted a 27-31 overall record. In reflecting on his progress, Franzoni attributed it to being more assertive at the plate. “It was definitely getting the comfort level with the pitching and making a few adjustments over the season, mainly from an approach standpoint,” said Franzoni. “My coaches helped me with that, being more aggressive earlier in the count. That is where I was hitting my best; I was jumping on the first pitch that I saw. It was tough in the beginning of the year when a lot of my at-bats were pinch hitting. I would be hesitant and take a pitch I felt I could have swung at.” Beginning his college career with a February 15 game at traditional powerhouse North
Carolina was a thrill for Franzoni. “That was an awesome first experience, playing at a big school like that,” recalled Franzoni, who made a pinch hit appearance in the opener. “They had some really good fans and it was a really cool atmosphere in that stadium for my first college game.” A week later, Franzoni collected his first hit in a 7-1 win at Samford. “That was my first start and I was kind of nervous before that game when I saw that I was starting,” said Franzoni. “At UNC, I didn’t have the greatest at-bat. It was good to have that hit and get a confidence builder. It was definitely an up-and-down season for me.” Getting into BIG EAST play, Franzoni and the Musketeers did some great things as the squad posted a 12-4 league record and advanced to the final of the conference postseason tournament. “Conference play was awesome, both teams were always super into it, even though our record didn’t show exactly what we wanted at the begin-

ning of the season in terms of wins,” said Franzoni, who made the 2019 BIG EAST AllTournament Team as an outfielder, batting .375 with three home runs with six RBIs. “We played some really good teams early and we had some experience in hostile environments like Texas and Arizona State. We rode out that energy.” A really good moment in BIG EAST play for Franzoni came when he faced former PDS teammate J.P. Radvany as Xavier played at Villanova in early May. “That was fun, seeing him before the game,” said Franzoni of Radvany, who was playing at first base in his senior season for the Wildcats. “My uncle [PDS baseball coach Brian Dudeck] was at the game. I knew some other kids on Villanova from playing summer ball with them. It was one of the first time I played against people I knew well.” As Franzoni looks to build on his freshman campaign, he is currently playing summer ball for the Albany (N.Y.) Dutchmen of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL), hitting .242 with one homer and 10 RBIs in 22 appearances through July 14.

“It is definitely helping keep me sharp on an everyday basis,” said Franzoni, noting that his older brother Paul, a former PDS standout and rising junior star catcher at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, is also playing in the league, competing for the Amsterdam Mohawks. “I am starting to play a little bit of first base, just to learn that and to get some more experience there. Our first baseman was a senior this year, he was a really good player and we are just trying to replace him and I could play there. It is a little different than other positions; I am starting to get a little more comfortable there. I am also working on limiting strikeouts. My strikeout number was pretty high this year and I am just trying to stay consistent.” Looking ahead to the 2020 season, Franzoni believes that Xavier can produce a higher level of play. “For our team, we want to progress,” said Franzoni. “We made a good run in the playoffs this year, losing in the championship. Losing that sucked but I think it will give us a lot of hunger this year to continue working and getting better.” —Bill Alden

For Gib Versfeld, attending the NCAA men’s lacrosse championship weekend was a family tradition over the last decade. T h is spr i ng, however, Versfeld found himself on the field at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia for the climax of the lacrosse season, starting at goalie for the Amherst College men’s squad as it played Cabrini in the NCAA Division III championship game. “It is something I have always dreamt of, it is literally 30 minutes from my house,” said Versfeld, a former Hun School standout who hails from Langhorne, Pa. “To see it from the other side as a player is something I always knew I was going to get to. Getting to that point was the culmination of years of dreaming and work. I had a ton of family and friends there.” Early in the 2019 campaign, it didn’t look like Versfeld was going to be getting that chance as he settled into a backup role in his sophomore campaign for the Mammoths. “I started this year fighting for the starting job; it was an open job and we were splitting splitting halves in the first three games,” said the 6’4, 210-pound Versfeld.
“After that, there was a junior goalie [Chad Simons] who was above me and he won it but it was very much still competitive.” When Simons suffered a season-ending injury in early April midway through the season, Versfeld stepped up and was ready for the challenge, drawing on lessons he gained from his debut campaign when he made 12 appearances with two starts. “I learned a lot freshman year, getting to the point where I could just really enjoy the process,” said Versfeld, noting that his skills were sharpened before that by playing for a Hun program that won the state Prep A title and Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) crown. “Even if I wasn’t playing, I could contribute. So this year I just wanted to approach it like look I can play at this top level, I just have to be ready for my next opportunity. When it did finally come, it was just getting back in the swing of things. I have been getting ready for this moment for a while and it is something I knew I could handle. It is a matter of just stepping up and being that next guy up.” In making the most of his opportunity, Versfeld had to
speak up more on the field. “For me individually, it is ‘be that leader and vocal presence on defense,’” said Versfeld. “If someone didn’t slide properly or if they need to clear differently and I don’t say anything or help correct them, it is not going to change. I was becoming comfortable with my defense so we can change and do better.” After a disappointing 11-8 loss to Williams College in N E S CAC ( N e w E n g la n d Small College Athletic Conference) semis, Versfeld and his teammates knew they had to do better heading into the NCAA tournament. “They are really, really tough,” said Versfeld, reflecting on the loss to Williams during which he made 18 saves. “After we lost to them, it was ‘OK what do we need to change?’ We realized that we had to play both fast and slow but also trust ourselves that we can make plays. We were playing too tense in the Williams game.” Versfeld loosened up in the NCAA tourney, getting into a zone, starting by making nine saves in a 21-9 win over Elizabethtown in a second round contest.
“What happened in the playoffs is goalies can get into this flow state where ever y thing slows dow n,” said Versfeld. “It was free flowing kind of lacrosse, I guess you could say I was instinctively moving around. It felt great and it felt natural.” After defeating Elizabethtown, Amherst had to run a gauntlet of conference foes, topping Wesleyan 16-13 in the third round and then edging Tufts 13-11 in the quarterfinals to earn the program’s first-ever NCAA Final 4 appearance. “We basically had a whole other NESCAC tournament. We beat Wesleyan to get to Tufts in the Elite 8; that is as far as our program has ever made it before,” said Versfeld, who made 12 saves against Wesleyan and then had 19 stops in the win over the Jumbos. “Tufts is a top D-III team. We spent all week getting ready for them, just knowing that we had to play our game. We definitely did that.” The Mammoths had one more NESCAC clash as they faced archrival Williams in the semis and came away with a 12-8 win over the Ephs to book their trip to Philadelphia.
“It was unbelievable. We had to stop them and change up things defensively and how we were going to let them shoot,” said Versfeld, who recorded eight saves in the win. “We decided that we were going to let them shoot from some areas and not others so I could get more comfortable and we could have more success offensively.” In the championship game against Cabrini, Amherst looked comfortable in the early going, jumping off to a 6-3 lead in the second quarter but couldn’t hold the fort as the Cavaliers rallied for a 16-12 victory and the national title. “T hey m ight have re sponded to the bigger game a little better than we had, I don’t think we relaxed as much,” lamented Versfeld, who had nine saves in the defeat. “Ultimately at the end they pulled away. I think they played their game a little better than we played ours.” Looking back on the season, Versfeld was proud of how Amherst came up big down the stretch as it finished with an 18-4 record. “We had a couple of seniors who really decided to
drive this team to be successful so they pushed us individually to do extra stuff after practice, watching film, working out or training,” said Versfeld, who ended up with a 10.79 goals against average and a 52.7 save percentage this spring, making 15 appearances with eight starts. “When the season started we all got together and talked and said what are our goals for the year and on top was the national championship. So this whole time, it has been in the back of our mind. We knew if we just kept building, we would get there.” As he works in New York City this summer and trains for the upcoming season, Versfeld has his eyes on achieving that goal in 2020. “Individually it is just to be ready to attack everyday, to build on the success at the end of the year and not take any opportunity for granted,” said Versfeld. “I want be ready when it is my time to go and take this team to the next step because the championship is back in Philadelphia next year and I want to write a different ending.” —Bill Alden

With Bellofatto Leading the Way in Backcourt, Apex Sport Looking Strong in Summer Hoops Chris Bellofatto wasn’t fazed even though his Apex Sport team fell to NJ Spiritwear on opening night this season in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League. Knowing that Apex has plenty of talent, Bellofatto sensed that it wouldn’t take long for the squad to get in synch in the wake of the 5845 loss to Spiritwear. “We all don’t play together any time but the summer,”
said Bellofatto, a 5’10 guard who starred at North Hunterdon High and went on to play at Stevens Institute of Technology. “A lot of us play off of Matt [Mancuso] and we are all starting to get used to him too.” L ast Wednesday, Apex played very well as it routed Olives 76-28 to post its fifth straight win since the setback in the opener. “We were able to work on some shooting,” said Bel-

Last Wednesday, Bellofatto scored 19 points to help Apex defeat Olives 76-28 and post its fifth straight victory. On Monday, Apex fell 63-52 to defending champion Loyaltees to see its winning streak snapped as it moved to 5-2. In other action on Monday, NJ Spiritwear defeated TOPICS Hometown Moving and Storage 69-46 while Sakana edged RRBB 66-64.

lofatto, reflecting on game which saw Apex build a 32-8 lead by halftime and cruise from there. “We had three big guys here so we were forced to experiment with that lineup.” Bellofatto came up big from the perimeter against Olives, hitting several threepointers on the evening. “I s h ot b e t te r t h a n I have in the past couple of games,” said Bellofatto. He ended up with 19 points in the win with Mancuso tallying 21 points to lead the way for Apex. “Russ [Thompson] didn’t shoot well today but he has been hot all season.” The Stevens connection has helped Apex emerge as one of the better teams in the summer league. “Kenny [Gan], Russ, Sheldon [Jones], and I all played at Stevens,” said Bellofatto, who was ranked third in the summer league in threepointers with 13 through six games. “It is college guys getting back together.” In Bellofatto’s view, Apex can out it together as it looks to make a deep playoff run with postseason play starting on July 22. “Of all the years that we have played, I feel like this is the best chance for us to win,” said Bellofatto, whose team fell 63-52 to defending champion Loyaltees last Monday to see its winning streak snapped as it moved to 5-2. “It is just pound it inside, get open threes, and having everybody here. We plan on having everybody from here on out.” —Bill Alden

Stephen Marc Williams On Friday, July 12, 2019, Stephen Marc Williams, loving husband and father of two daughters, passed away at his home in Princeton, NJ, after a year of declining health, at the age of 60. A transplanted southerner, Steve was born in Montgomery, AL, on February 25, 1959 to H. Glenn and Barbara (Hanke) Williams. Steve graduated from Jefferson Davis High School as Class President in 1977, and as a first generation college student received a Bachelor’s degree Cum Laude in History from Princeton University in 1981. After graduation, Steve launched an illustrious 38year long career in the global banking industry, most recently as a Product Designer for Bloomberg’s evaluating pricing service. Prior to that, Steve worked for Fannie Mae, in Washing-
stopped acquiring new interests and hobbies. He voraciously read works of history (particularly regarding the U.S. Civil War), economics, literature, and poetry. Over his life he played golf, court tennis, squash, and wrestled. He was an avid fan of the Princeton Tigers and the University of Alabama football team. He also loved bird hunting with his beloved Brittany Spaniel “Monty.” Steve was a highly ranked high-school chess player and would amaze his fellow students by playing against them “blindfolded,” with his back to the board. He co-produced a movie about the early days of the Beatles, Backbeat, starring Stephen Dorff, in 1994, and also supported the launch of Final Touch, a Londonbased music production company. Particular eclectic musical favorites included Steely Dan, Warren Zevon, and Yes. Throughout his life, Steve was known for his restless intellectual enthusiasm and acuity, his explosive humor, and his kindness and generosity to friends and strangers. Steve was preceded in death by his father, H. Glenn Williams, of Montgomery, AL. He is survived by his wife, Treby, his two daughters, Charlotte and Anna, his mother, Barbara Williams, his sister Shannon Norwood, Andrew Norwood, and their two sons, Rob and Patrick. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2019, at the Princeton University Chapel at 5 o’clock p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Isles, https:// isles.org/donate/ and the Historical Society of Princeton https://princetonhistory.org/ support/.

A Princeton tradition!
LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND YOUR HOME Summer is the perfect time to really look at the state of your landscaping. Margaret Wolfe Hungerford, said “ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This certainly reins true in the creation of your outdoor space. Defining your desires for the space is the first step. Do you prefer a manicured and formal yard or more of a free form with wildflowers and open space? Some things to consider are the cost of both creating and maintaining your landscape. What is the desired functionality? Once you have defined your desire be sure to plan for all seasons. Plant annuals and perennials to create three seasons of beauty. Consider what you want the focal points to be. Will you have paths to meander through that connect different types of flowering beds and other specimens? One thing for sure is that beautiful and well maintained landscape increases both curb appeal and your home’s value.

New pesticides are derived from a variety of naturally occurring sources such as bacteria and fungi, as well as from chemical analogues of natural bio-chemicals such as pheromones and insect growth regulators. This new generation of pesticides is environmentally sound, providing effective control with little or no impact on non-target organisms. Our Plant Health Care program promotes plant health through proper watering, fertilizing, and pruning. The goal is to keep plants in balance with nature. Proper maintenance practices keep plants vigorous and healthy, thereby reducing their susceptibility to insects and disease pathogens which are opportunistic and seek out weak plants. When problems arise and a pesticide is required, we use the best control method available utilizing the right dose at precisely the right time. Taking this proactive approach allows us to use the safest methods of insect and disease control possible. This commitment is part of our philosophy “Partners in Ecology.” We have a tremendous responsibility to our clients, to our employees, and to our environment.

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