COMMUNITY BLOCK FESTIVAL: Youths enjoy a game at the Joint Effort Witherspoon-Jackson Community Princeton Safe Streets gathering at the Princeton YMCA on Saturday. The event was one of many that took place August 5 through August 14. Participants share their favorite things about Joint Effort Safe Streets in this week’s Town Talk on page 6. (Photo by Charles R. Plohn) That method of play, which became known as the “Princeton Offense,” has left a lasting in uence on the game as teams from high school to the Golden State Warriors of the NBA have employed that style to spread the oor and wear foes down before getting open looks from the perimeter or in the paint. While orchestrating that precise and confounding brand of the game, Carril himself made a rumpled appearance. He wore sweaters on the sidelines and in an August 15 phone conversation. “But the heart of the organization has always remained the same, which is actually what is incredibly powerful about HomeFront. Even as the day-to-day services change and the needs of the clients we’re serving change, we have stayed laser-light focused on what our families need the most.”She continued, ”I see that as a big part of Connie’s legacy here at HomeFront, and I hope I can live up to that. We have an amazing team of people around us,

The website also recommends making a bear aware of your presence by speaking in an assertive voice, singing, clapping, or making other noises. Make sure a bear has an escape route, especially if it makes its way into your home or garage. Prop the doors open. Bears can usually be kept at a distance if residents follow certain safety recommendations. “The biggest thing we’re saying to people is to not have any kind of inadvertent attractants around,” said James Ferry, Princeton’s animal control officer. “Take bird feeders down, and secure trash cans; even bring them into the house for the next couple of weeks while this goes on. The good news is that we’re getting a little closer to hibernation season.”According to the website of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Fish and Wildlife, black bears are the largest land mammal in the state, “an integral part of the state’s natural heritage and a vital component of healthy ecosystems. Since the 1980s the Garden State’s black bear population has been increasing and expanding its range both southward and eastward from the forested areas of northwestern NewTheJersey.”municipal website advises Black Bear Sightings Are on the Rise In Mercer County

The bears are most active just before sunrise and after sunset. According to information posted on the municipal website, “Do not run from it; running may trigger a chase response. If you encounter a bear that is feeding, do not approach it and slowly back away. A bear on a food source will aggressively defend it.”

One of the most legendary and colorful gures in in Princeton University sports history, Hall of Fame men’s basketball coach Pete Carril, died on Monday, August 15 at age 92. The Carril family issued a statement on Monday posted on the Princeton University Athletics website indicating that Carril “passed away peacefully this morning.” He died at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, where he was recuperating from a stroke.Carril, a native of Bethlehem, Pa., who played college basketball for Lafayette College, took the head coaching job at Princeton for the 1967-68 season and guided the Tigers for the next 29 seasons. During his storied tenure, Carril posted a 514-261 record, leading the Tigers to 13 Ivy League championships, 11 NCAA Tournament appearances, and the 1975 NIT title. Prior to coming to Princeton, Carril started his coaching career as an assistant at Easton Area High (Pa.) in 1954 and then became a head coach at Reading High in 1958 where he guided Gary Walters, a future Princeton star and director of athletics at his alma mater. He served as the head coach at Lehigh University for one year before taking the Princeton job.
The hallmarks of the style that Carril perfected at Princeton included a deliberate offensive game that featured constant motion, crisp passing, and quick cuts to the basket. That disciplined approach was complemented by a sti ing defense which had the Tigers among the national leaders in fewest points allowed per game on a yearly basis. Princeton led the country in scoring defense 14 times from 1975 to 1996, including eight in a row from 1988 to 1996.

Despite the low levels of rainfall this summer in cen tral New Jersey, the toma toes, corn, zucchini, and other locally grown crops are doing just fine. Last week, which was National Farmers Market Week, ta bles at area farmers markets were piled high with pro duce. The bounty continues through fall, but peak time is “Thenow. lack of rain has significantly helped some crops,” said Chris Cirkus, manager of the West Wind sor Community Farmers Market, held Saturdays in the Vaughn Drive lot of Princeton Junction train station. “And mid-August is when every single thing is in season. It is the best time of theTheyear.”19-year-old West Windsor market is among several in the area. It is open, rain or shine, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Satur days through November 19. “Each market is different,” said Cirkus, who previously managed the Trenton Farm ers Market. “Every one has its own feel. This is a oncea-week market, a 501(c)(3) whose mission is to support farmers, create a community space, and foster health and wellness. It’s the real thing.”

Under Carril’s guidance, the Tigers dominated the Ivy League along with archrival Penn. From 1964 to 2007, either Princeton or Penn won or shared the title in all but two seasons. Carril ended his career as the winningest coach in Ivy history. Under Carril’s guidance, Princeton made an impact on the national stage as well. Carril coached Princeton to wins over teams coached by such legends as Knight, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyze wski, Digger Phelps, Lefty Driesell, and Frank McGuire. In 1975, Carril guided Princ eton to a stirring run to the NIT title where it beat Provi dence 80-69 in the final. Some 14 years later, the Tigers almost pulled off one of the great upsets in college hoops history as the 16thseeded Tigers fell 50-49 to top-seeded Georgetown in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. In 1996, Carril’s final year at the helm of the Tigers, Princeton achieved that breakthrough upset. The 13th-seeded Tigers stunned fourth-seeded UCLA, the de fending national champions, 43-41 in the first round of the NCAA tourney with the winning points coming on a backdoor layup by Gabe Lewullis.Afterstepping down from Princeton, Carril went on to serve as an assistant coach of the Sacramento Kings in the NBA from 1996 to 2006. He was a 1997 inductee to the Naismith Memorial Bas ketball Hall of Fame.

HOLDING COURT: Former Princeton University men’s basketball head coach Pete Carril addresses the crowd in February 2009 after the main court at Jadwin Gym was officially renamed “Carril Court” in his honor. Legendary Hall of Famer Carril passed away at age 92 on Monday, August 15. His legacy includes a spe cial coaching tree. Every Princeton head coach since Carril’s retirement either played for him or coached with him, as he was succeed ed by longtime assistant Bill Carmody and then former players John Thompson III, Joe Scott, Sydney Johnson, and Mitch webasketballassociatederyoneaccomplish.inandnototheweretaughthisatouchedon‘PrincetonsurablegamePrinceton.whohim,”towhoofonthatputPrincetoninandril’sTigerHenderson,Henderson.thecurrentheadcoach,putCarinfluenceonhisplayersthegameinperspectiveastatementpostedontheAthleticswebsite.“ItisdifficultformetointowordstheimpactCoachCarrilhashadmylifeandonthelivesthehundredsofotherswerefortunateenoughhavecrossedpathswithsaidHenderson’98,playedunderCarrilat“Whilehisimpactontheofbasketballisimmeaandhislonglastingoffense’willlivebeyondhim,itishowhesomanypeopleonpersonallevelthatwillbegreatestlegacy.Coachmethatkeysinlifetobeunselfish,tovalueteamovertheindividual,understandthatthereissubstituteforhardworktoneverlimityourselfwhatyouthinkyoucanIspeakforevwhohaseverbeenwithPrincetonwhenIsaythatloveCoach,welearned lessons from him that we use every day and we will never forget him.” To recognize that impact on a permanent basis, the main floor in Jadwin Gym was renamed Carril Court in February 2009 in honor of the famed coach. “I would like to think that he understood that this is as much about the legacy of Princeton basketball and the guys who played for him,” asserted Walters in remarks that night. “It is greater than him and that’s the way he would want it. I personally believe he made Princeton basketball a brand name which burnished the academic reputation of this University. It is the smart taking from the strong, we were the Davids beating the Goliaths.”Upontaking the mike at the ceremony and graciously thanking the University and his players, Carril evoked the humor and perceptiveness that was a major part of his legend.Noting the Carril Court label on the floor and a lifesized banner of the coach un furled from the gym’s rafters, he quipped, “It’s bad enough people are going to step all over me when they play on this court, now they’ve de cided to hang me.”

Off the court, he had a fondness for cigars and was known for spending long nights at Conte’s breaking down games over pizza and beer. He was also a regular at Andy’s Tavern. With his blue collar back ground in Pennsylvania as the son of a steelworker, Carril often dispensed his wisdom with ample doses of profanity. He penned a book with Dan White, The Smart Take from the Strong, in 1997, detailing his basket ball philosophy which in cluded hundreds of nuggets explaining his tough-minded, no-nonsense approach to the game.Inthe introduction to the book, coaching great Bob Knight, who guided Indiana to three NCAA titles, said that Carril has “been a tre mendous asset to the game of basketball and a great credit to it.”

Criticizing the failure of former President Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran and the expansion of Iran’s nuclear program since Trump took the U.S. out of the Iran Deal (The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) in 2018, Goldston said, “We should make every effort to return to the Deal.” He also called for a number of “strategic stability measures” — nuclear agreements and policies — “that should have been pursued with Russia, rather than letting them fall by the wayside, and should be actively pursued now,” though he pointed out that NATO accession is the right of sovereign countries in resisting threats from their neighbors.

This is not something remote. We’re close to the cliff and at any moment, as Secretary Guterres said, a miscalculation or misunderstanding could push us over the edge.”

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki took place on August 6 and 9, 1945, and last week, on the 77th anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing, about 40 supporters of the Princetonbased Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) gathered at the Arts Council of Princeton to commemorate the events and to consider the current threat of nuclear of an accidental nuclear war, with the United States and Russia ready to launch about one thousand nuclear warheads and the Chinese preparing to deploy hundreds of new intercontinental ballistic missiles, Princeton University Professor Emeritus Frank von Hippel urged the audience “to remobilize against the nuclear arms race.” “Either we get rid of these weapons, or they will get rid of us,” he told the audience. Von Hippel, a senior research physicist and professor of public and international affairs emeritus with Princeton’s Program on Science and Global Security (which he co-founded), presented a history of the expansion of nuclear weapons, the growth of the CFPA, born in the early 1980s, and the movement to ban nuclear weapons. He described a number of dangerous situations since 1945, and said, “It is time for us to light a new fire to reverse the new nuclear arms race that now involves China as well as ourselves and Russia. We need to focus on measures that will reduce the danger of nuclear war.”Those measures, he said, would include adopting a no-first-nuclear-use policy and getting rid of the 400 intercontinental ballistic missiles that we have in underground silos in the northern Great Plains, ready to be launched on only 10 minutes notice.Theplace to start, he told the Princeton audience, would be with reaching out to our U.S. senators and representatives. “We must educate members of Congress that our nuclear posture is dangerous and must be changed,” he said. Von Hippel concluded in calling for nuclear weapons to be outlawed “in the same way as we outlawed biological and chemical weapons.” The new International consistently,” and warned that both Iran’s nuclear ambitions and Russia’s expansionist policy are serious threats to their neighbors.

We are incredibly fortunate to have a leader like her to ensure that we continue our critical work in the Stewardcommunity.”received her B.A. in government and psychology from Franklin and Marshall College and a masters of public administration from Rutgers University. She worked with U.S. Congressman Rush Holt for 12 years, serving part of that time as his deputy chief of staff and district director. She has been involved in government in Mercer County for several years and is currently president of the Ewing TownshipStewardCouncil.discussed the challenges ahead for HomeFront in the current environment of economic uncertainty and a lingering pandemic. “I count myself among the many people who want to move on from COVID and never think about it again, but for the families we serve it’s been incredibly disruptive,” she said. She described long lines at the HomeFront food pantry, a 40 to 50 percent increase in clients at the pantry in the past six months. “You and I can go to the grocery store and notice that we leave a couple of dollars lighter, but for our families that’s the difference between feeding their kids tonight or not,” said Steward. “That’s a long effect of COVID.” She noted the troubled economy, inflation, and housing shortages as early, continuing effects of “There’s nothing all of us want to do more than to stop thinking about this pandemic and its impacts,” she said. “But I don’t think our clients have that luxury, so I don’t think HomeFront has that luxury.”
Steward went on to note that many Americans have so little in emergency funds that “one car accident or one medical emergency or one COVID diagnosis or one week out of work can really upset the whole applecart.” She added, “There is no sense of ‘us’ and ‘them’ because it’s all of us. It could easily be me or my sister or my husband, so it’s a reality. Here in Mercer County, a community of incredible wealth, on any given night HomeFront is still putting a roof over the heads of 450 people, and two-thirds of them are kids. It’s not a problem that’s removed or distant from us. It’s in our community.”Perhaps the most important lesson that Steward has learned from Connie Mercer, she said, is that “there is hope. There is something we can do. We can feed and clothe and make sure people have a roof over their heads, but we can also change the situation long-term. We can have a different outcome for specific families, but also system-wide.”Mercer commented on her successor. “When Sarah walked into my office seven years ago to interview for the COO position, I knew that I had found the perfect addition to the HomeFront family,” she said. “Today, after working with her since that time, I am proud to hand over the leadership for HomeFront to this intelligent, talented, and caring woman. I know she will lead HomeFront forward with wisdom, skill, and grace.”
Pointing out difficulties in confronting the realities of poverty and homelessness in the community, Steward noted, “When I came to HomeFront I understood the challenges intellectually, or at least I thought I did. What’s easy to forget is that this is a challenge that families in our neighborhood are facing every single day, and it’s a byproduct of the fact that so many families are living so close to the edge even in our community, which is relatively affluent and privileged in a lot of ways.”
Steward emphasized two points in particular: that “the challenges are real and present” even in affluent Mercer County; and that this community can make the choice and change the outcomes for vulnerable local families.
—Donald Gilpin
She continued, “This is not a challenge that affects some other group of people. These are families that are going to school with your kids, families that are working in the same companies that you’re working in. I thought when I first came to HomeFront that I would hear the most fantastic and extreme stories about house fires or violence or on and on — and certainly we do work with families that are affected by those incredible challenges, but much more common is the everyday pressure of families living so close to the edge.”
“We have an ambitious mission, which is trying to end homelessness here in our community,” she said. “That is no small task, and we have not accomplished it yet.” She continued, “I think some of the magic of HomeFront is that we have always been flexible and creative about what are today’s solutions to get us closer to that goal. Whether it’s helping support additional affordable homes or job training or children’s programming or all the other things we do, we must remain adaptive to what the current challenges are.”

They cre ate the programming that they want to be a part of, that would be most impact ful, most meaningful, and most enjoyable to them.”
Seda-Schreiber added, “It’s important that individu als in the community know that the Center is some where where they are finally part of a larger community, part of a larger idea, part of a larger network where they can feel recognized, respect ed, heard, and loved.” —Donald Gilpin TOWN TOPICS is printed entirely on recycled paper.

The BRCSJ promises there will be everything “from rainbow slacks to se quined blazers and also for the more fashionably-timid there are bins full of more sedate sweaters, pants, hats, footwear, and all sorts of other stylish pieces to add to your wardrobe.” All items are free of charge, though the organization asks pa trons to consider a donation to support the BRCSJ. “It’s a taste of the fabu lous, but it’s also a taste of the everyday,” said Se da-Schreiber. “People can come and get clothes they need or want, and it’s also an opportunity to hear from Frank and Chet — the histo ry, their stories, and to have them be recognized, to cel ebrate them for all they’ve done.”OnAugust 27, the Cen ter will be hosting artist, photographer, and BRCSJ board member emeritus Walter Naegle, surviving partner of Bayard Rustin, and commemorating the an niversary of the 1963 March on Washington that Rustin organized and led. Rustin, who was posthu mously awarded the Presi dential Medal of Freedom in 2013 by Barack Obama, “was not given the recog nition he deserved in his lifetime because of who he was and who he loved and the life he lived,” said Se da-Schreiber. He went on to note that Naegle’s visit is “a wonderful moment for our community in understanding history, especially now that more and more history is be ing erased, more and more books are being banned, more and more people are trying to stop stories from being told.”
In addition to partnering with several other organi zations in leading a Day of Action and Rally to Protect Our Democracy on the af ternoon of September 17 in Hinds Plaza, the BRCSJ will be hosting two high-profile events in September. On September 18, the start of Banned Books Week, celebrated North Hunterdon librarian Martha Hickson, who recently re ceived the Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced with Adversity, will visit the BRCSJ to speak on “How to Stop Book Banning in Libraries, Schools, and the Greater twoandthehomeyear,headquartersdoorscome.”eventswantsfromcenter,’andquired.willingpublic,areBRCSJsizedillustratorandgraphicwriterclaimedwillyears.sciousmanyGirl,”songwriterturinghosttembermunity.”nottonityactivists,brarians,icatedHicksonSeda-SchreiberCommunity.”notedthatwillpresenta“dedactionprogramforliteachers,students,andothercommumemberstofightbackmakesurethatbookswillbebannedintheircomThenonSaturday,Sep24,theBRCSJwillabenefitconcertfeaJillSobule,singer-of“IKisseda“Supermodel,”andmoresocially-conhitsoverthepast32ProgramminginOctoberincludevisitsfromacNewYorkerstaffAdamGopnikandartist,journalist,TheNation’smagazineSteveBrodner.Seda-Schreiberemphathatmosteventsatthearefree,andmostavailabletothegeneralwithafeweventsbebenefitswheredonationsberequestedbutnotre“TheCenterisfirstforemostacommunityhesaid.“AnybodythecommunitywhotoattendanyofourwillalwaysbewelTheBRCSJopeneditsatitsStocktonStreetinMarchthisafterlosingitsoriginalonWigginsStreetatstartofthepandemiccarryingonvirtuallyforyears.Expressingappreciation

McAlpin met with Benjamin Anderson, the minister of Witherspoon Presbyterian Church, who invited Rev. McAlpin to assist him. Rev. McAlpin later became the associate pastor. In this role, he became aware of discriminatory housing practices. Rev. McAlpin helped to establish two local integrated housing developments — Maplecrest at Dempsey Avenue and Walnut Lane in Princeton and Glen Acres in West Windsor Township off Alexander Road. In 1970, Rev. McAlpin moved to Detroit where he served as a pastor, advocated for civil rights, and established affordable housing organizations. He returned to Princeton in the 1980s and helped found the Trenton chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Like so many of our neighbors, we are grateful for Rev.

If that seems an unlikely title for a show about the blood and thunder pagans of the north, it’s because the line comes from Eliot’s poem “Little Gidding.” Series creator Michael Hirst has admitted “sneaking” passages from Four Quartets into Vikings “because the lines are about time. Eliot thought the time past and time future are both contained within time present. I thought that that was really what I was talking about within the show — connecting past, present and future.” As the episode’s title suggests, the endgame conversation between the captive King of the Vikings Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) and King of the Saxons Ecbert (Linus Roache) takes place in a subdued hour-before-morning communal spell “in the intersection of the timeless moment” the two characters are sharing; it’s an extraordinary reunion since Ragnar has cause to put Ecbert to death on the spot while Ecbert has no choice but to find a politically expedient way to have Ragnar executed. The intensity of the looks and words exchanged, the pauses, the nuances, reveal a unique fellowship based on the love both men feel for Athelstan (George Blagden), the young Anglo-Saxon Christian monk captured by Ragnar in the first season and arguably the most sympathetic character in the series. Once you learn that the episode takes its title from Four Quartets , it’s possible to imagine that Hirst had the actors reading aloud together from the poetry prior to the filming; the mood the poem manifests is wordsnevertimepresentlinesspeaksthatRoache’stheling,Roache’s.favoriteis,helpsimmersive.thatItthatEliotsaysHirst,apoetofSocompel-sotruetocharacter,isEcbert,whenheEliot’son“timeandpast”youdoubtthatfromabook published in 1943 are his personal musings, and now, thanks to a television series set in the 9th century (“Near the ending of interminable night / At the recurrent end of the unending”), you find yourself reading Four Quartets aloud. As I was reading I was startled by some lines in “The Dry Salvages” that seemed to speak to the subject I began with — a signed book of little value in itself, being sold for large sums because it’s signed by a twice impeached former president who is the subject of multiple criminal investigations: “Observe disease in signatures, evoke / Biography from the wrinkles of the palm / And tragedy from the fingers...”
“Be a Little Wild” I’m wondering if last week’s FBI search of Mar-a-Lago has impacted the already inflated market value of a signed first edition of The Art of the Deal. To see where the value lies, observe the signature on the marbled endpaper, which is directly across from the quote atop the jacket copy: “I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: if you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”
—Mary Oliver (1935-2019) W hen I saw Mary Oliver’s “Instructions” chalked on a stone bench in Princeton’s Marquand Park the other day, I was thinking about the signed copy of Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal (1987) offered for sale at next month’s Friends of the Princeton Public Library Book Sale. What could be less astonishing than a 35-year-old ghostwritten bestseller by the former president? The only thing really worth paying attention to and telling about is that copies in the same or lesser condition as the library’s are selling online for $18,000 to $45,000. But when you think of it, isn’t the lure of large library book sales the possibility of being astonished? You go in hoping that the book of your wildest dreams will turn up, and sometimes it does. Or, better still, you find a treasure you didn’t even know you were looking for, which happened to me when I embarked on this column about a book I have no interest in. Rather than devote an entire article to The Art of the Deal, I thought of something my wife and I have been binging on, an astonishing television series about the Vikings, where I discovered, incredibly enough, a book of poetry by T.S. Eliot. A Viking Summer It’s been a Viking summer in our house. Along with the Saxons, the Northmen have given us some fascinating television in The Last Kingdom (2015-2022) and Vikings (2013-2020), which we have yet to finish, although it’s hard to imagine the series surpassing the 14th episode of Season 4, “In the Uncertain Hour Before the Morning.”
The American Dream
C urious to see the rest of the paragraph, which appeared in the print edition of the December 7, 198 7 Times, I found the sentences preceding the “American dream” — “Jay Gatsby lives, without romance and without the usual tragic flaws. The secret really seems to be hard work, thorough preparation, detailed knowledge, careful planning, tight organization, strong leadership, dogged persistence, controlled energy, good instincts and the genetic ability to deal.” The last line of Christopher Lehman Haupt’s review: “It’s like a fairy tale.” As Jake Barnes says at the end of The Sun Also Rises, “Isn’t it pretty to think so?” —Stuart Mitchner

And just now I noticed the blurb on the front of the Ballantine Books paperback, from The New York Times: “Trump makes one believe for a moment in the American dream again.”
Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be Tellastonished.aboutit.
The signature on the Friend’s book sale copy of the first edition is classic, a bold and brazen statement apparently accomplished with a blue felt-tip marker, evidence that it was signed at the time of publication. Take a closer look and it’s more than a statement, it’s a monument in miniature. Or a trap. Or the skyline of Trump City. Some have found it “terrifying.” It’s been compared to a failed polygraph, a barbed-wire wall, a cry for help. The signature on the copy for sale is a no-way-in no-way-out nightmare. Zoom too close and it’s like putting your head in the mouth of a shark. Say what you will, it’s worth looking at and thinking about, it’s a creation. Of the American presidents since Roosevelt, Obama’s is the only signature of comparable size, and it’s as open and free as Trump’s is shut and scary.
In The Art of the Deal French President François Mitterrand “turned out to be a dangerous man. What can you say about a guy who goes around selling nuclear technology to the highest bidder. It’s the lowest anyone can stoop.”
The Nuclear Codes
According to Jane Mayer’s July 2016 New Yorker article about Trump’s ghostwriter Tony Schwartz, The Art of the Deal “expanded Trump’s renown far beyond New York City, making him an emblem of the successful tycoon.” Mayer quotes Schwartz saying, before the 2016 election, “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is. I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”
“Be astonished, pay attention, tell about it,” from Mary Oliver’s poem “Sometimes,” could have been my mantra during the Trump years. Writing here on May 11, 2016, after he won the Republican nomination, my way of “telling about” the moment was to bring in Shakespeare and The Marx Brothers, Coriolanus and Duck Soup When the president kept outdoing himself, it was an excuse to reread Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Ibsen’s Enemy of the People, or to revisit Dr. Strangelove and The Twilight Zone, improvising on the connections, the wilder the better. As the Donald says in The Art of the Deal : “Sometimes it pays to be a little wild.”

Doylestown Arts Festival Set for September 10-11
The season’s second show will be familiar to fans of the board game-turned-cult classic film, Clue, based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn and written by Sandy Rustin. In this murder mys tery adaptation, the guests, under different aliases, are invited to an unusual dinner party at Boddy Manor, only to discover that the host is dead upon their arrival. In Cabaret , characters must adapt quickly as the world around them falls into chaos. The story follows Cliff Bradshaw, an American writer who arrives in 1929 Berlin looking for inspira tion for his novel and in stead falls in love with a star performer, Sally Bowles, at the sleazy Kit Kat Club. The decadent nightlife they have fallen into quickly comes under threat, however, as the nascent rise of the Nazi Party continues to grow in strength by the day. BRT’s final show of the season will be the Philadel phia premiere of Chicken & Biscuits, written by Douglas Lyons. Rivaling sisters Ba neatta and Beverley are bury ing their father, but it’s the non-stop family drama that might be the death of them. For more information and season details, visit brt stage.org.
Free Staged Reading By Passage Theatre Passage Theatre Company will hold a staged reading of the new musical Clean Slate at 6 p.m. on Friday, August 19 in the Mill Hill Park Am phitheater in Trenton. The show is appropriate for all ages (recommended for ages 10 and up due to length). Admission is free. Clean Slate is a new musi cal by David Lee White and Kate Brennan. It tells the story of a group of disaffect ed high school students who are sent to a rehabilitation camp that may, or may not, also be haunted by the souls of former campers who have gone missing. When the new owners of the Clean Slate camp begin to institute rules and regulations that threaten the freedom of the students, they are forced to band together and enter a cursed forest in order to find their way out. Clean Slate is a story of radical empa thy about the mistakes we make when we try to “heal” young people and the need to remember who we used to be in order to move forward. Audience members are encouraged to bring a blan ket or cushion. The 1911 Smokehouse BBQ Food Truck will be onsite from 5-8 p.m., and 10 percent of the proceeds will go directly back to Passage Theatre. To reserve tickets, visit passagetheatre.org.

“AUTUMN ONSET: This painting by Bill Jersey is featured in “Along the Road,” his joint exhibit with Michael Schweigart, on view September 8 through October 2 at Artists’ Gallery in Lambert ville. An opening reception will be held on September 10 from 5 to 8 p.m. “Along the Road” Joint Exhibit at Artists’ Gallery Bill Jersey and Michael Schweigart bring together two different approaches to painting the landscape in “Along the Road,” on view September 8 to October 2 at Artists’ Gallery in Lam bertville. Jersey’s bold im pressionistic color harmo nies and broad brushwork excite the senses, and his color and light patterns cre ate complex compositions. While Schweigart s palette is subtle with natural colors blending light and shadow that build texture and devel op detail. “Along the Road” brings together the best of both styles with scenes of their time and places. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, Sep tember 10 from 5 to 8 p.m. In reflecting on his life in the arts, Jersey said, “My life has been blessed with opportunities of engage ment with an array of people and places — from farmers in the Georgian Republic to the Contras of Nicaragua to youngsters on the streets of Harlem. I spent my film making career documenting the stories of people in their unique settings. Through the lens of my 16mm cam era, light and composition and accuracy were essential to capturing stories. “Retired from filmmaking, I picked up a paintbrush in place of the camera. In plein air or studio settings I can quietly observe and record with perspective beyond motion picture storytelling. I can imagine and paint the summer’s dance of a tree or the stately elegance of an aging barn next to a tree blooming with new life. Re cording with brush and paint has become my poetry and obsession.“At94, I can say that I have been truly privileged to have spent a lifetime in the arts — beginning with my first job out of USC Film School, art director of The Blob — to the current time of reflection and creativity. At my last show at Stover Mill I sold a record of 47 paintings.”Schweigart can find inspi ration just about anywhere he goes. He has a deep ap preciation for nature and de lights in taking the road less traveled whenever possible. Scenes of coastal Maine and parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey make up the bulk of his work.

The character and customs associated with a particular region are what he enjoys painting. His finished works display rich texture and at mosphere, with a presence of man and a sense of place. Schweigart has been ex hibiting his paintings for most of his adult life in gal leries from New York City to South Jersey, Philadelphia, and the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C.

PET PALS: “We have big yards — really parklike yards — with outdoor play furniture, even a little pool for them to cool off in, so they can have fun and exercise,” says Carole Lini, found er and owner of All Good Dogs Daycare. Shown here are four canine companions enjoying play time at the All Good Dogs Schalks Crossing Road day care facility.
Discounts are offered to the military, older adults, and essential workers. “We are really here to help, and I enjoy seeing the dogs happy and the plea sure of the clients when they know their dogs are safe and cared for,” says Lini. “It means a lot to me to see our day care, cage-free concept come to fruition after all the years of hard work.” Indeed, Carole Lini is very proud of having turned her love of and concern for animals into a thriving busi ness, but in some ways, she believes it is still a work in progress. “There are more things to accomplish, and I am ex cited about my plans for new ventures and opportunities now that I actually own the property. Stay tuned!” A ll Good Dogs Daycare at 113 Schalks Cross ing Road and at 160 Basin Road in Lawrence are open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Overnight boarding is available at the Lawrence center.

It is a very hand some setting, “I am super excited about owning the property,” says Lini. “It is a special place. There is really nothing quite like this around here, and this is such a truly worthy project.”Overseeing such a large operation is extremely timeconsuming, especially since she also owns another All Good Dogs Daycare center on 160 Basin Road in Law rence, as well as Whisker Watchers: Happy Tails, a pet sitting and dog walking business. Cage-Free In addition to day care, the Lawrence facility offers overnight boarding. “We are really pioneers of this concept in our area, espe cially the concept of cagefree boarding 24/7,” reports Lini.She is extremely proud of the staff she has assembled at both locations, and attri butes much of the business’s success to the staff’s dedica tion and skill. “They are just outstand ing. It really does take a vil lage! Everyone here loves animals, and is knowledge able about their care and needs. The staff has ongoing training. They have to know how to introduce themselves to the dog, and how to han dle multiple dogs.” Typically, 20 to 35 dogs are in the spotlessly clean Schalks Crossing facil ity five days a week. Many dogs come every day, others three or four days. Both half and full days are available. When owners first con sider sending their dogs to All Good Dogs, they initially fill out a questionnaire, ex plains Lini, “Then, we’ll do a lengthy evaluation of the dog. We want to see how it interacts and mingles with the other dogs, and how the dog acts without its owner. We want to see if the dog will be a good match here. They must mix well with the other dogs; we don’t accept dogs with aggressive be havior. Also, they must be spayed or neutered, and all vaccinations must be up-todate.”Four months to 14 or 15 years old is the typical age range at All Good Dogs, with the upper limit depen dent on the dog’s health. Chihuahuas to Great Danes have been clients, with all sizes and breeds in between. More Mellow “We group dogs according to age, size, temperament, and activity level,” points out Lini. “We put dogs who are a little more mellow to gether, and we find that the dogs often form friendships with each other. They are usually very well behaved. Also, as you observe each dog’s personality, you can anticipate their behavior.” Generally, clients bring their dog’s own food, but the facility will provide food, if necessary.

C arole Lini loves her work. As owner of All Good Dogs Daycare for more than 20 years, she has been providing dogs with a safe, supervised, and socialized home away from home.Buteven before, she knew that caring for dogs was her passion. As a young girl, she played with her own pets, and as she grew up, she took on dog-walking projects. “I always knew that I want ed to work with animals,” she reports. “I started as a veterinarian technician, then worked as a pet sitter, walk ing dogs and caring for cats. I realized that even with three or four visits a day, the dogs were still not get ting enough attention, and were lonely. We needed to find another way.” That led her to open All Good Dogs Daycare in Kingston in 2000, with a focus on giving dogs a safe, friendly, supervised environ ment providing exercise and socialization.
Best Environment “We pride ourselves on giving the dogs the best environment and experi ence,” she points out. “We are available for people who are not comfortable with the typical kennel situation, where the animals are in a more confined area.” With the popularity of her doggie day care program increasing, Lini found she needed even more space to accommodate the growing number of daily visitors. “We moved to 113 Schalks Crossing Road in South Brunswick 20 years ago, and this is a wonderful loca tion. We have more than two

Lini adds that other clients some times have unusual requests. “As an in-home pet sitter, I was asked to sing a special song to a cat!” Ongoing Relationship She happily complied, as she is always eager to do all she can to create a con genial environment for any pet.It can also be an ongoing relationship, she adds. “A lot of our dogs come to us when they are puppies, and continue to come as they get older. They develop a rela tionship with the staff and with their dog playmates. “This is a labor of love for all of us,” she continues, “and again, I couldn’t do it without my great staff. They are loyal, compassionate employees.“AsIstep back a bit from the day-to-day running of this 24/7 business, I know it is in the capable hands of my South Brunswick manag ers Jessica Winter and Tori Borelli and Lawrence man agers Adam Miller and Jack Flynn.”After being closed for sev eral months in 2020 due to COVID-19, All Good Dogs is doing better than ever, says Lini. Increasing numbers of people have pets, and they want the best environment and experience for them. “Our service is really help ful for people in condos, townhouses, and apart ments, and for people who may have trouble walking their dogs” points out Lini. “We also offer grooming and bathing services. “We are set apart as an independently-owned busi ness. We are not a franchise, but boutique dog care, fo cusing on special attention. We have also always had ex cellent support from the lo cal community, and in addi tion, we work with the SoCo Southern Comfort rescue organization, which brings abandoned dogs north from down south.” Hard Work Day and overnight board ing prices vary, with differ ent pricing packages avail able, including club cards.
It was all part of an expe rience that he won’t forget. In addition to playing in his first international tourna ment, he was also making his first trip to Israel. “I think they do a good job of connecting you to Israel and Judaism and everything that’s involved on a deeper level,” said Peters. “ But you’re also there to win a gold medal so there’s a good balance between the two.” It has been a whirlwind summer for Peters. He was home for less than a week after finishing his first year of classes at Princeton when he headed to New York City for a seven-week internship. “ I didn’t really have any trainers there,” said Peters. “ It was really on me to be working out by myself and doing my lifts, so that whole experience has taught me a lot about myself and playing adult for a couple months.” It led up to his final prepa ration and trip to the Macca biah Games before a couple of weeks back at home and then the Princeton team trip to Spain. Peters has been trying to take advantage of every chance he has to play and hone his skills. It starts at the defensive end, where he hopes to spearhead a lockdown mentality. He’s been able to improve each year at the defensive end. “ That ’s something I ’ ve al ways needed to focus on,” said Peters. “ By the time I was a senior in high school, I was guarding the best play er on the other team every game, something I took a lot of pride in. Last year, guard ing Jaelin and Ethan every day, that was a tough task originally — they may have a different opinion — but I thought I got better as the year went on.” At the offensive end, Peters also benefited im mensely from his first year at Princeton. And as he showed in the Maccabiah Games, he is capable of shooting as well as anyone while running an offense. Playing with the Tigers helped him become a tougher player to guard. “ On the offensive side, the biggest thing is in high school it’s very stagnant, and you don ’t play with a shot clock so the game is much quicker in college,” said Pe ters.“I got really good at cut ting and really using my foot speed to get to my spots. I’m not going to be taking five or six dribbles and breaking people down. That s insanely hard to do in college with the high level guards and the defense people play. It ’s re ally perfecting my shot and being able to fake people out on cuts for layups and playing with a lot of poise and being a solid point guard. Those are all skills I ’ ve developed working out by myself this summer and during the season last year and playing with Maccabiah too. As I get on the court next year, hopefully people will be able to see that.” This week, Peters will be getting his next chance to play and develop his game. Princeton will be repeating a trip to Spain that it last took in 2012, leaving on August 18 with stops in Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona. Schools are permitted one overseas trip out of season every four years, and Peters has confidence from winning Maccabiah gold and is look ing forward to playing with Princeton’s returning players. “ We ’ ll treat the week and a half before we leave as a mini training camp almost and get back in the flow of things,” said Peters. “ Hope fully that ll set us off on the right path. It ’ ll be fun.” —Justin Feil State’s Jersey’s
Peters seamlessly transi tioned into the U.S. defense that was orchestrated by Ettin, who used Princeton principles and strategy. The offensive end was less like Princeton’s style, and more like what Peters played in high school. “ In 2021, I didn’t even know Skye was coaching Maccabiah,” said Peters. “ I was already planning on going to Duke to try out. It just so happened I went to Princeton for Elite Camp and Skye was talking to me, and we both learned we were both doing Maccabiah. I went to Duke and tried out, and I think six months later rough ly, the team was finalized.” Peters was on the Macca biah radar after connecting with U16 national coach Michael Weinstein, anoth er Evanston product. Pe ters was scheduled to play

Princeton assistant coach Skye Ettin celebrated along side Peters as part of the U.S. coaching staff. “ It was a really humbling experience,” said the 6’1, 190-pound Peters , a na tive of Evanston, Ill. “ I’m not obviously ever going to have the opportunity to play for the Olympic team so this was the closest thing I could get to that. I have a lot of pride in my country and where I’m from. And I have a lot of pride in my identity as a Jewish basket ball player. So to be play ing there and representing a whole bunch of groups of people was just an awe some experience. And I did it with my assistant coach at Princeton, Skye Ettin, and a great group of guys. I just thought we represented the country well and the Jewish community well, and it was an incredible experience.” The gold medal experience — Peters’ first time playing internationally — gives him a boost of confidence as he re turns to Princeton after play ing sparingly in his first year. Peters and the Tigers’ rising sophomores, juniors, and se niors will head to Spain for an overseas trip in August to kick off this year. “ I’m already familiar with how international basketball is played, and how physical it is, especially off the ball,” said Peters. “ I don’t think you have an appreciation for it until you play international basketball. It’s grown man strength. It’s very different than college strength, that’s something I noticed imme diately. I have high aspira tions for the season. I didn’t play much last year. We had a great team. This year I’m definitely looking to be more of a significant piece.

He played a total of 64 minutes with games highs of five points and five rebounds. “It’s never fun being on the bench,” said Peters. “ Play ing is definitely more fun. But you learn a lot. Through my experience of playing at Princeton last year and ac tually getting back on the court with Maccabiah is real ly going to be pay dividends thisPetersyear.”helped the Tigers win the Ivy League regular season title outright with his behind-the-scenes work. In practice, he was a key part of the scout team that pre pared Princeton’s main ro tation of players for Ivy op ponents. It also helped raise Peters’ game. “ I was guarding Jaelin Llewellyn frequently and Ethan Wright,” said Peters. “ These are high major bas ketball players that will be pros one day. So especially on the defensive end, be ing familiar guarding very high level basketball play ers helped me translate into Maccabiah. There was not one player that was better or came close to being as high caliber players like Jaelin and Ethan.” In Israel, Peters consis tently scored in double dig its for the U.S. in the Mac cabiah Games. He had 11 points and three rebounds in an opening tournament win over Argentina. In the Americans’ first meeting with France in Stage 1 pool play, Peters had 18 points and six rebounds. Against host Israel, Peters made seven 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 24 points. He also scored 10 points in a decisive win over Canada. The U.S. did not panic when it trailed France, 37-35, at halftime of the gold medal game before turning up its defense to pull out the win. “ We had beat France in the group phase,” said Pe ters. “ They’re an awesome team. Most of them are pros probably between 2530 years old, so obviously they’re very experienced. That championship game, in the first half, they just wanted it a little more. At halftime, we got in the lock er room and talked about what we needed to do on the defensive end. The whole tournament, that’s what was winning us games. Our goal was to keep teams below .75 points per possession. We do similar stat trackings like that at Princeton. So that’s basically they’re scor ing once every three or four possessions. Once we locked in on defense, got in help position more, had a little more ball pressure, I think we ended up pressing them a little more in the second half and we sped them up a lot so that definitely helped.”

The team assembled for a three-day minicamp at Kean University before departing for Israel. “Once we got to Israel, the first week was essentially an other training camp,” said Peters. “ We would wake up really early in the morning, go to practice at 6:30. We scrimmaged the Israeli U19 national team at one point. We scrimmaged our U18 Maccabiah team. We actu ally had a decent amount of prep.

Facing France in the gold medal game, the U.S. trailed 37-35 at halftime before earning an 81-70 win. “We knew it was going to be a good game, the first game was a good game (a 90-77 win for the U.S.) and we were able to pull away at the end,” said Ettin. “In the championship game, we were down two at half and we were struggling a little bit to get a couple of stops. They had done a really good job of preparing and chang ing up play calls and some different stuff. I think what we did really well in the sec ond half is we went a little bit smaller and we pres sured a little bit more. We just grinded out some more stops defensively and that led to some offense.”

Prior to heading over to Israel, the team held an intense three-day training camp at Kean University in late“ItJune.was good, it was unique,” said Ettin, reflect ing on the camp. “For one, you have to evaluate what you have got and then you have to put in your defense and your offense pretty quickly. Doug has a spirit of playing, he wants the guys to learn quickly on the move by playing. We went pretty hard for those three days with two-a-days. We learned pretty quickly about what we had and started to build a rotation and work on the defense from there.” Ettin’s work focused on the defensive end. “I was responsible for defense,” said Ettin, noting that the coaching staff also included Matt Kittner from TCNJ and Ronny Levy, who is based in Israel. “I put in the de fense. I got it implemented, I called the coverages. I did the game plan and all of that stuff, it was great for me.” Based in a suburb of Tel Aviv, the U.S. squad soaked in the atmosphere of the international competition that brings together 10,000 athletes from 85 countries taking part in 45 sports. “It was amazing, it really had an Olympic feeling,” said Ettin. “You have all of these different teams, all of these different countries and all the different sports. They had everything from like basketball to handball. It was pretty amazing.” The opening ceremony re inforced that Olympic feel ing. “It was really, really special,” said Ettin. “We are marching into the stadium with the whole U.S. del egation. There were tens of thousands of people there, it was packed. To make it even more special, we were one of the five or six teams that got to meet President Biden before the ceremony because he was out there which was pretty amazing.”
The emotions flowed at the subsequent medal cer emony.“Itwas awesome,” recalled Ettin. “That is when you start to get a little tearyeyed. It is emotional.” For Ettin, who became an assistant coach for Princeton in June 2016 after serving for one season as the pro gram’s director of basketball operations, the Maccabiah experience helped him hone his coaching skills. “It is the first chance that I have had to try to build a team in a month,” said Et tin. “It is just like a summer course, you have to squeeze a lot in. It helped me be a little more efficient because on the staff at Princeton we have three different assis tants and a director of ops. You have different support roles. Here it was us two and the other guys who came and helped, Matt and Ronny. I think it helped me continue to grow my voice and focus purely on defense. I think that was really good growth for me in general and hope fully I can bring back some of the things I learned.” This week, Ettin will be working on building the Princeton men’s squad for the upcoming campaign as it heads to Europe for a pre season trip. “I am really excited for the season, we are going to Spain in August for a for eign tour,” said Ettin. “We start in Madrid, work our way to Valencia and then Barcelona.”
In getting ready for the competition, the team com bined practices with partici pating in the Israel Connect, a program designed to im merse Maccabi athletes and coaches with the Jewish cul ture of Israel. “It was spending so much time with this group and re ally getting to know them,” said Ettin. “You are waking up together really early. You practice from 7 to 9 in the morning and you are touring from 10 to 6. You are with everybody the whole day, especially that first week and a half. You are with the whole U.S. delegation, we shared a bus with women’s soccer. You met people from different sports as you did the touring activities. It was reallyPlayingneat.”in Stage 1 pool play, the U.S. went 5-0 and gained momentum as it went along.“We were just trying to figure it out a little bit more together as a group, how to come together, how to play and what each individual’s strengths were,” said Ettin. “As you start to get a little bit closer to medal play where there is really an opportunity to win gold, you start to be a little bit more selfless. You start to think a little more about the team because there is something that everyone is fighting for together.”

Plan SEP SIMPLE 401(k) Defined Benefit May Be Best for: Is It Better to Save in a Qualified Retirement Account? The conventional wisdom is yes, but the common rationale is often based on unrealistic assumptions. For instance, the ending after-tax value in a 401(k) or IRA is usually compared to the after-tax value of a non-qualified account invested in bonds or cash. However, retirement accounts are often invested in stocks and long-term stock appreciation is subject to lower tax rates than bonds or cash (capital gains versus ordinary income tax rates). Even so, when comparing a qualified retirement account (e.g., a 401(k) or IRA) to a non-qualified account invested in stocks, in most cases, the after-tax value of a 401(k) or IRA will be higher.

Once the squad was fi nalized, Ettin liked what he saw. “I thought we had a really good mix of talent, we had a mix of diverse skill sets,” said Ettin, noting that the team consisted mainly of Division I players with three from the D-III ranks. One of the D-I players to make the team was Blake Peters, a sophomore guard at “ItPrinceton.wasthe best, you don’t get an opportunity in the Ivy League to coach your guys during the summer,” said Ettin. “There is no summer school so just the chance to be around him and spend a whole month with him and coach him was something you will never forget. I think it was a really good experi ence for me and him.”
In the waning seconds of the contest, Ettin felt a sense of satisfaction and elation. “It was a long trip, we were there for 23, 24 days,” said Ettin. “As the clock is ticking down, you feel such a rewarding process, going through so much with this group of guys. We put a lot of sweat equity in and time in. Everyone is away from fam ily and friends but it was all worth it. You had a chance to represent your country on that type of stage, it was just a surreal moment. It means so much, there are not many people that get an opportu nity in any form or fashion to represent their country. For me, just to play a small part in that and just be lucky enough to have an opportu nity to represent the country in the game that I love with one of our Princeton players was a special moment.”

There has been lots of news recently about ESG investing – much of it negative. S&P Global dropped Tesla from its S&P 500 ESG index. Elon Musk responded by questioning why ExxonMobil remained in the ESG Index and claiming that “ESG is a scam.” Also within the last month, Deutsche Bank and Bank of New York Mellon were subject to investigation relating to ESG funds. But this doesn’t mean that the ESG investment trend is losing steam or that ESG investing doesn’t continue to be a good option for those who want to invest selectively. As these controversies illustrate, not all “ESG” investing is the same. For instance, three leading ESG ETF’s each track different indices which employ different ESG methodologies. The SPDR S&P 500 ESG ETF tracks the S&P ESG Index and excludes certain industries and companies involved in controversial activities. Then for each industry, higher ESG-rated companies are included up to a certain market cap and lower rated companies are excluded while maintaining similar overall industry group weights as the S&P 500. The iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF tracks the MSCI USA Extended ESG Focus Index and uses a methodology similar to the S&P ESG Index. The Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF tracks the FTSE US All Cap Choice Index, which contains broader exclusion categories and only uses the exclusionary method. There are many broad similarities between the funds: the top ten holdings for each is nearly identical; information technology stocks account for about 30% of each; the top four sectors for each are information technology, health care, consumer discretionary and financials; and utilities, materials and real estate are among the lowest represented sectors of each. But there are some differences. The iShares and Vanguard funds include Tesla while the SPDR fund does not. And because of a broader exclusion for fossil fuel, the Vanguard ESG fund contains virtually no energy exposure while the energy sector makes up approximately 3.83% of the iShares fund and 4.16% of the SPDR fund (both of which are close to the energy sector allocation for the S&P 500) and each contains ExxonMobil in its top 20 holdings. One approach is not necessarily better than another but there are differences that investors should be aware of and weigh in their investment decisions.

In order to put the squad together, the coaches held a camp in the summer of 2021.“We did our tryouts at Duke because we had al ready booked it in advance,” said Ettin. “Duke was gra cious enough to let us stay there. We had kids from all over, we had 80-100 kids come and try out for the 12 spots on the roster.”

Skye Ettin first traveled to Israel in 2013 for his Birth right trip to get immersed in the cultural heritage and traditions of the country. This summer, Ettin, a for mer Princeton High and The College of New Jersey bas ketball standout and current Princeton University men’s hoops assistant coach, went on a return trip to Israel and made some history in the process.Serving as the assistant coach for the U.S. open men’s team at the 2022 Maccabiah Games, Ettin helped guide the squad to a goldFormedal.Ettin, taking part in the Maccabiah Games was a career goal. “I have wanted to be in volved for a while, I had never played or coached in it,” said Ettin. “Howard Levy (former Princeton men’s basketball standout and longtime head coach of the Mercer County Com munity College men’s hoops program) is really heavily involved. He had told me a lot about it. I had heard really good things about it. It seemed like an amazing opportunity so this time, I wanted to get involved.” Ettin reached out to Josh Schachter, the chair of the U.S. open men’s basketball team, to get in the mix for the coaching staff which was originally going to be headed by Duke assistant Jon Scheyer. “I went through an in terview process and inter viewed with both of them a
Ettin credited Gottlieb with helping the team come together.“Doug is fiery, he has a load of passion,” said Ettin. “On a trip like this, he is so good at bringing the group together with his passion because he cares so much, because he has pushed you so hard. What I really com mend Doug on is he had three goals. One was to make this an experience of a lifetime for everyone, and two was for individual guys to get better. We did skill development every day, he cared about the growth of the players. Three was obvi ously to win gold. He held true to all of three things consistently and that was a big part of our success.”

Qualified retirement accounts include 401(k) and other employer sponsored retirement plans and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA’s). Typically, contributions are not subject to income tax when made, the account grows tax deferred (without tax), and distributions in retirement (after age 59.5) are subject to ordinary income tax. Other qualified retirement accounts include Simplified Employee Pension Plans (SEP); Savings Incentive Matching Plans (SIMPLE); and Defined Benefit Pension plans.
Plan SEP SIMPLE 401(k) Defined Benefit May Be Best for: Is It Better to Save in a Qualified Retirement Account? The conventional wisdom is yes, but the common rationale is often based on unrealistic assumptions. For instance, the ending after-tax value in a 401(k) or IRA is usually compared to the after-tax value of a non-qualified account invested in bonds or cash. However, retirement accounts are often invested in stocks and long-term stock appreciation is subject to lower tax rates than bonds or cash (capital gains versus ordinary income tax rates). Even so, when comparing a qualified retirement account (e.g., a 401(k) or IRA) to a non-qualified account invested in stocks, in most cases, the after-tax value of a 401(k) or IRA will be higher.

LION-HEARTED: Frances Lyons is enjoying herself as she acclimates to the campus at Stuart Country Day School. Last month, Lyons took over as the new director of athletics at Stuart, succeeding Justin Leith, who is now serving as the AD at the Bullis School in Maryland. Lyons comes to Stuart from The Brearley School in New York City where she was the associate AD. (Photo provided courtesy of Stuart Country Day School) athletics. They are into it and it is all girls. After that, I see the facilities and the manicured field that they have for themselves, the other fields that they have in the back and the two field houses.”Dulyimpressed, Lyons put her hat into the ring and applied for the job. After a Zoom meeting, she had an on-campus interview this spring.“Coming up to it and I make that turn, I see that field and am thinking this is amazing,” said Lyons. “Then I come in and everybody is so nice and welcoming. It was a day of interviewing. I am meeting parents, peo ple from diversity and ad missions At some point in the interview, I got to meet some girls and I am like they are way more into sports than they are at Brearley. The questions they had for me showed that they knew that they wanted someone in here who was going to care for the program, care for them, give them support, and was going to go to bat for them. The questions that they had were just great. I had to prove myself to them, it was Apparentlyfantastic.”proving her self, Lyons didn’t have to wait long to learn how the interview went. “I was just like wow — I felt it was good, I felt at home,” said Lyons. “I felt that this was place where I could see myself for a long time and a place I can build. They called me that night and offered me the job. I said, ‘yeah, this is it.’ I had the same feeling when I went to Brearley and saw their school. You know, there is just something there in the gut that you know it is right. When I heard, I was ecstatic.”Asshe takes the helm of the program, Lyons is look ing to continue the progress Leith made in getting the school’s athletes to take a more serious approach to sports.“Iwant to continue a lot of things Justin was doing, building the culture,” said Lyons. “It is OK to win and be at an all-girls school and want to be a powerhouse. W hen people are looking at the school, I want them to go to Stuart because all of their facilities go to girls, they are a powerhouse, they take it seriously, they are competitive, they empower each other and they are committed to what they are doing. That is the vision that I want to continue to put out there.”Working with school’s coaching staff is at the top of Lyons’ to-do list. “I am starting to really hone in on our coaching de velopment, getting to know the coaches and letting them know that I am here for them,” said Lyons. “I want to be giving them the support that they need but also work on the professional develop ment with them and what do they need to feel better and make them feel more con nected with our students.” Noting that Stuart is send ing athletes to college pro grams on an annual basis, Lyons is looking to help with the recruiting process. “With my background, I have the strength on that side and can give parents that support,” said Lyons. “I can let them know what college coaches are looking for and what the process is. We are strong on the aca demic side which is great but then there is another side. It is what are you doing this summer, what camps are you attending, and who are you playing for during that offseason. All those things count for getting recog nized.”Lyons is determined to get Stuart more recognition as it looks to expand its enroll ment and athletics. “Stuart is committed as a school to getting that en rollment up, that is us re ally promoting our school, getting the word out there,” said Lyons, noting that Stu art is considering adding soccer and softball pro grams at some point. “It is me getting out there, going to tournaments and introducing myself. I want them to know what we offer here. There is that competi tion among schools. It is re ally showing off our facility and letting girls know, you have your space. That is what I want people to know about our athletics program and our culture. All of this is for you, you can develop as an athlete, you can develop as a person and develop as a leader and see where sports can take you as a woman.”
After producing a superb senior season for the Brook lyn College women’s basket ball team in 2009-10, Fran ces Lyons was looking to play pro ball overseas. But when potential op portunities in Poland and Puerto Rico fell through, Lyons decided to take an other path. “I kept training and signed with an agent,” said Lyons. “But if I was not going to go in normally and know that something is guaranteed, I would rather just stop and go into what I wanted to do which is coaching and teach ing.”Lyons, a Brooklyn native who was an All-New York City performer for James Madison High, started sub stitute teaching in New York City schools and got a job coaching basketball with the Asphalt Green program, a nonprofit sports, swim, and fitness organization in the city.While working with As phalt Green, she also started coaching middle school hoops at The Chapin School, an all-girls school in New York City. Having taken on some administrative duties at As phalt Green, Lyons went to The Brearley School, an other all-girls school in NYC in 2019, where she served as the associate director of athletics.Lastmonth, Lyons came south to New Jersey, be coming the director of ath letics at Stuart Country Day School, succeeding Justin Leith, who is now serving as the AD at the Bullis School in LyonsMaryland.found a natural fit at the all-girls environment of Stuart.
“There needs to be a sanc tuary for girls,” said Lyons, 34. “I knew that is what type of school I wanted to be at. I want the girls to know that this place is for you, you are not competing with any body. You have the space, the facilities are here for you, the support is here for you and it is here for you to develop as an athlete. That was important for me.”

After high school, Lyons headed to Monroe Com munity College where she helped it win the Division I National Junior College Ath letic Association (NJCAA) n ational championship in 2006 and finish seventh the next season. Lyons then joined Hofstra’s Division I program but things didn’t work out and she took a break from the game. Lyons then came home to Brooklyn College, intend ing to focus on academics and not play for its hoops team. But after playing some pickup games with team members, she got the bug to come back to hoops and joined the squad. She made the most of her one year with the program, av eraging 15.9 points and 9.5 rebounds per game and earning 2010 All-Metropol itan Division III Third Team honors.“Iwent to the coach and said, ‘I think I am ready’ and he was like, “Are you sure, there is no pressure,’” said Lyons, who helped Brooklyn to a CUNY Athletic Confer ence (CUNYAC) South Di vision Championship and a second straight appearance in the ECAC Division III Metro Tournament. “We would love to have you and then I fell in love with it. I got back into it, I started training again. I was helping Brooklyn College build their program, now they are kind of a power house, winning champion ships.”After deciding not to pur sue a career in pro ball, Ly ons began coaching middle schoolers at Asphalt Green and with The Chapin School while also working as a sub stitute teacher. “It became natural to teach; that is where I fell in love with the development of the player,” said Lyons. “Once you got to the level where you know you are good and you can play, I then passed that on. My fo cus came around with the development of the player as a whole in different aspects mentally, physically and giv ing them that confidence. That is where my strength came in. I saw it for myself because I actually had to do it Diversifyingmyself.” her involve ment in athletics, Lyons started getting into the ad ministrative end. “At Asphalt Green, I end ed up taking a position in of Excellence, Support, Takes the Helm of Stuart Country Day Athletics community programs,” said Lyons. “I would run sports leagues in underserved com munities in the Harlem area, that is when the administra tive side came in. I was run ning leagues in flag football, soccer, and basketball.”
It was two guys, though, Lyons’ older brother and father, who got her into sports.“My brother was a big football player; he was al ways around sport and since I am the baby, I wanted to be around him,” said the af fable Lyons with a laugh. “I would see him playing so I just picked it up. Sports came naturally. My father was a big time baseball player in Brooklyn as well. My mom thought I wanted to put on dresses and play with dolls but I said no, I want to go with them.” Under the influence of her brother and father, Lyons ul timately directed her ener gies to the basketball court. “I don’t get into organized basketball until I was about 11, that is when I started playing travel,” said Lyons. “I just started getting bet ter, I started training with my uncle and dad. I ended up going to an AAU team in Harlem. Basketball was every day and I loved every minute of Growingit.”to 5’10, Lyns en joyed a stellar career for the James Madison girls’ hoops program where she was First-Team All-City perform er as a junior and senior. “I was a forward because of what we had on the team,” said Lyons. “I am a small forward, I like to shoot the ball but I also like to get in there in the post and re bound. The highlight was the retirement of my jersey number, it is a big thing.”
Lyons decided that she wanted to change her career path to focus on athletic ad ministration.“Thedirector of athletics at Brearley reached out to me and asked me if I would be interested in running their field house and being their JV basketball coach and coach the middle school girls volleyball,” said Lyons. “I said absolutely, this is what I want to do. I had the opportunity to learn from her. I jumped from field house manager to associate director of athletics. I was running all of the operations of athletics, from the hiring of coaches, posting jobs, scheduling all of the games and all of the practices and the transportation. I was involved in every aspect of athletics. I started going to the national athletic direc tors conferences. It is great networking, I met so many new people.” At the point, Lyons de cided that she was ready to head a “Onceprogram.Ihitmy third year at Brearley, I knew it was time,” said Lyons. “I am trained, I feel good, I feel confident and I knew that type of school, I wanted to be at. No matter what, I wanted … to be at an allgirlsLookingschool.”at opportunities, Lyons learned that Stuart was looking for a new AD and she did some research. “I went on the school web site, and I said this is fantas tic,” said Lyons. “You could see the care they have for

Uma Jain showed her mo tivation, placing first in the girls 10U back and third in the 25 “Umafree.fits in there with Juliana and Tatiana, she is hardworking,” said Cooper. “I love how coachable her and older sister Anoushka were, they were always very receptive to critiques during practice to make themselves better.”Juliet Wei and Allison Yu emerged as two of the bet ter swimmers in the 14-andunder girls. Wei took first in the 50 breast, second in both the 50 fly and in the 100 IM while Yu placed first in the 50 breast, 50 fly, and 100“JulietIM. has been a Lem ming for as long as I can remember,” said Adlai-Gail, noting that Wei’s older sis ter, Kim, was a stalwart for the 18U girls this summer. “She is always a great asset to our team. She is pretty quiet. She definitely knows how to get out there and compete. She and her sister Kim live in New York but they come every summer and swim for Nassau and we love having Newcomerthem.”Yumade quite a debut for the Lemmings. “She is definitely one of those competitive ones,” said Adlai-Gail, noting that Yu is her neighbor and she recruited her to join the squad.“She was great. She was new to the team and was out there making friends. I asked her how she liked it at the end of the season and she said she had a lot of fun. It was nice to bring in a new person.”ForAdlai-Gail, introduc ing newcomers to the Lem mings tradition was a lot of fun.“There is a definitely magic aspect to Nassau; I love it, I call it like a little wooded oasis,” said AdlaiGail. “One of the highlights of this summer for me was to see new families and faces experiencing that magic of Nassau. The new families that came here were saying why don’t more people know about this, Nassau is such a great place. Seeing that and having parents tell me at the end of the season that feel like their child found their sport was cool. Nassau is that place where you can fall in love with swimming.” Cooper felt that magic in his debut season with the Lemmings.“Iamalready planning on coming back next year; the team left a really good last ing impression on me with just the way the dynamic is,” said Cooper. “Not a lot of year-round teams have the dynamic that Nassau does, which is so important. It al lows the kids to have a good balance of working hard but also having fun, build ing lifelong friendships. The bigger picture is what fami lies should focus on, not just competing but having some fun in what you are doing. That is the part that really stood out.”
The Baytin brothers were another key family for the Lemmings. Stephen Baytin placed first in the boys 12U 50 breaststroke, 50 free and the 100 IM. Older brother Daniel, a Princeton High star, finished first in the 18U 50 breast and 100 IM and took second in the 50 free. “The Baytins both com pete for X-Cel as well,” said Cooper. “They are very cooperative. They are always saying, ‘Can I help you here?’ It is a personality trait of the Baytins. They are for the Sawyerteam.”Kinney was also a big help for the 14U boys, taking first in the 50 back and 50 “Sawyerfly. is definitely a longtime, loyal Lemming,” said Adlai-Gail. “He is al ways at practice, he has been doing it for a long time. He is one of our older guys, he sets an example for our younger kids. He brings a nice energy to our team.”
Princeton Athletic Club Holding Trail Run Sept. 17
YOUNG NASSAU: A group of some of the young stars for the Nassau Swim Club Lemmings are all smiles after competing at the Princeton Area Swimming and Diving Association (PASDA) MiniMeet earlier this summer at the Community Park Pool. Pictured, from left, are Uma Jain, Isabel Colón, Evelyn Colón, Elizabeth Colón, Liliana Brenner-Witten, Tatiana Yanovsky, Daniel Yanovsky, and Vladimir Yanovsky. That crew played a key role as the Lemmings went 5-1 in Division 2 dual meet action and placed second in Division 2 in the PASDA championship meet at CP in late July.

Enjoying a Big Summer Despite Having a Small Crew, Nassau Swim Club Took 2nd in PASDA Division 2 Adlai-Gail pointed to a pair of 12-and-under boys, Gabriel Colon and Alex Ahlo, as rising to the occa sion at the championship meet. Colon placed second in the 50 freestyle and third in both the 50 backstroke and 50 breaststroke while Ahlo took second in the 50 breast.“Gabriel and Alex both came in not knowing all of the strokes, swimming was pretty new to them,” said Adlai-Gail. “When they left, both were competitive and placing well at champs.” For Adlai-Gail, serving as a head coach made for a memorable summer. “I found my love for swim ming through Nassau, I re member getting that special feeling of community,” said Adlai-Gail, who had previ ous served as an assistant coach for the program. “I always remember the older coaches being so nice to me. I would spend all day at the pool, it was definitely a highlight of my childhood. I wanted to continue that feel ing for the younger genera tion of swimmers so that is what I have been doing in coaching.”Nassauco-head coach Da vid Cooper, a former swim mer at Rider University who was in his first season with the Lemmings, relished see ing the progress from his swimmers across the board. “This summer we had a lot of kids who only swim during the summer,” said Cooper, who also coaches for the X-Cel club program. “They came in and as you go through the summer, you see people getting faster, learning new skills. As they become more comfortable with each other, they be come more competitive. It has been amazing to see; it is one thing that a lot of teams just don’t have and they took it and ran with it. The reason I loved coaching them this year is the amount of spirit and camaraderie that I see in the team. It is just a big family; that is one of my core values that I re ally emphasize and that any sports team should have. I think Nassau models it re allyThewell.”Yanovsky family helped bolster the Nassau boys’ squad as Vladimir Ya novsky was the 6-and-under boys’ MVP at the PASDA championship meet while Daniel Yanovsky starred in the 10-and-under boys divi sion and Vasily Yanovsky was the 14-and-under boys’ PASDAVladimirMVP.placed first in the boys 6U 25-yard backstroke and in the 25 free and sec ond in the 8U 25 breast while Daniel took first in the boys 10U 25 free, 25 butter fly, and 100 individual med ley and Vasily placed first in the boys 14 U 50 breast, 50 free, and 100 IM. “Vladimir had an inter est in swimming that really stood out,” said Cooper. “During our swim-a-thon which we have every year to raise money he swam for about an hour straight. You would expect maybe like 30 laps from a six-and-under, but Vladimir just takes off and swims more than a mile. Daniel would always come to practice, saying can we work on this can we do a hard kick drill. He was al ways asking for something hard or Adlai-Gail,challenging.”forher part, was impressed with Vasily’s competitive spirit. “In our meet at Bedens Brook, Vasily came up to me and said, ‘I know it won’t count, but can I also race in breaststroke unofficially? I just want to race against Daniel Baytin,’” recalled Ad lai-Gail. “I said, “Oh yeah. of course, you can take this end lane, it is open.’ He swam and did awesome. He just loves swimming and he loves competing, you can tell. He wanted to do an ex tra race and that says a lot.”
The Princeton Athletic Club (PAC) is holding a trail run and walk at the Moun tain Lakes Preserve, 57 Mountain Avenue, Princ eton, on September 17. The event, which is ben efiting the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, will start at 9 a.m. and consists of a 5-kilometer-plus trail run and walk. The course is comprised of about 10 percent mile paved park trail, 30 percent unimproved service right-ofways, and 60 percent single track including moderately technical rocks, roots, logs, and whatever else nature has wrought in the woods. Due to the technical nature of the trail, parents should consider whether this event is appropriate for young children.

The fee from August 27-September 14 is $40 with a T-shirt on an asavailable basis. Sign up at the event will be $50 and is credit card only, subject to availability.ThePAC is a nonprofit, all-volunteer running club for the community that pro motes running for the fun and health of it and stages several running events each year.
While the Nassau Swim Club Lemmings team only had a crew of 40 this sum mer, it accomplished a lot. The squad went 5-1 in Di vision 2 dual meet action in the Princeton Area Swim ming and Diving Association (PASDA) and then went on to place second in Division 2 in the PASDA championship meet in late July. “It was a really great sea son for us, the kids really got a confidence boost,” said Nassau co-head coach Rachel Adlai-Gail. “Last year was a little bit hard on them. We still had fun but we did lose all of our meets. It was nice to see us winning something. One of the main things I noticed this summer is how much our kids have improved.”TheLemmings battled hard at the PASDA cham pionship meet held at the Community Park Pool, piling up 1,319 points to take sec ond in Division 2 with Penn Brook scoring 1,352.50 to win the title. “I think they definitely get energy from competing,” said Adlai-Gail, a longtime Lemming who is entering her senior season at Bryn Mawr and competes for its swim team. “We have a pretty competitive team, kids who like to win. I think this is an awesome setting for them to thrive. They definitely liked it, they were like, ‘We are competing against all of the teams.’ We said, ‘Yes, every team, but you have got this.’ They competed hard, they enjoyed it.”
As for the Nassau girls, the Yanovsky sisters brought a lot of energy. Tatiana Ya novsky took second in the girls 8-and-under 25 breast, 25 free and 100 IM while Julianna placed second in the girls 12U 50 breast and third in the 100 IM. “What both girls had in common was the way so cially and physically, they kind of carry the team,” said Cooper. “Towards the end of practice when you start wearing down and ev erybody is getting tired, they would be super social and talk to people. They would say keep on going and we are going to have a fun time doingAdlai-Gailit.” liked the drive she saw from Tatiana. “Ta tiana is only eight and she practices with our older group and totally kept up with the 14-and-unders,” said Adlai-Girl. “She is very motivated and always wants to be with the older kids, that was something really cool to see.”

Carril grew up on the southside of Bethlehem, Pa., where his father worked in the steel mills. The Bethle hem Boys Club helped the young Carril stay on track as he became a promising basketball player at Liberty High School, graduating in 1948. After high school, Carril went to nearby Lafay ette College.

From 1958 to 1966 he coached at Reading High School where he had many winning seasons and trips to the state finals. After Reading, he made the move into college coaching, going back to Lehigh for one year (1966 to1967) where he com piled the first winning record in basketball in 50 years, at a school where wrestling was the premiere sport.

John Madison Cooper, 82, of Princeton, New Jersey, died on August 8, 2022, after a short illness. John was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on November 29, 1939, the second of seven children of Bernardine (Sheehan) and Armon Cooper. He left Memphis in 1953 when he was awarded a scholarship to attend Phillips Exeter Academy. It was at Exeter that he began his study of ancient Greek, earning the Haig-Ramage Classical Scholarship and graduating first in his class in 1957. He continued his studies at Harvard University (B.A., 1961, Ph.D., 1967) and was a Marshall Scholar at Corpus Christi College, Oxford (B.Phil., 1963). He taught at Harvard, the University of Pittsburgh, and Princeton, from which he retired in 2016. He was President of the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association in 1999-2000 and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was predeceased by his parents, his sister, Stephanie Cooper, and two brothers, Farrell Cooper and Jerome Cooper. He is survived by his beloved wife Marcia (Coleman), his daughters, Stephanie and Katherine, Katherine’s husband Bryan Foster, and his grandchildren Amos and Louisa. He is also survived by his brothers and sistersin-law Armon Cooper and Karen Schoenberg, Gail Cooper, Richard and Charlotte Cooper, Robert and Sue Cooper, sister-in-law Dora (Coleman) DeGeorge, cousins Brainard Cooper and Sarah Forrest Schwartz, many nieces and nephews, and valued friends. John was Princeton’s Henry Putnam University Professor of Philosophy emeritus and one of the world’s leading scholars of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. On the basis of the John Locke Lectures, which he gave at Oxford in 2011, he wrote his final book, Pursuits of Wisdom, a historical and philosophical account of the Greeks’ views on the good life. His first book, Reason and Human Good in Aristotle, won John Madison Cooper the American Philosophical Association’s Matchette Prize in 1977. His essays have appeared in two volumes, and he edited a selection of Seneca’s essays on moral philosophy. He edited the Complete Works of Plato (1997), now used as the standard throughout the English-speaking world. Although he dedicated a significant effort to his writings, he felt strongly that his most important responsibility was to his students, and in response was deeply appreciated by generations of them.As erudite as he was sharp, John set a standard of intellectual rigor and honesty for colleagues and especially his students. He was widely admired for his scholarship, his humanity, his generosity, and his wit. John was a fiercely loyal friend, relentless competitor, crossword aficionado, opera lover, and devoted father and grandfather. He was determined that his life would not be limited by the type I diabetes diagnosis he received as a young man nearly 60 years ago, and it was not. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

Kitchen islands can provide the ideal multifunctional space, from an extra food prep area to a place for guests to gather while entertaining. Kitchen islands can be a simple dining space, but some are designed with plumbing and electrical to house extra sinks or appliances such as dishwasher drawers or wine cooler cabinets. Kitchen design professionals can help determine which is best for your space. Islands can be styled to match the rest of the kitchen cabinetry or can be a contrasting focal point. A brightly colored island paired with white or neutral cabinets adds a pop of color. Butcher block or marble top islands are also trending and make an ideal baking or food prep space. If you have a smaller space but still want to add an island to your kitchen, consider a rolling kitchen island cart. A moveable island can provide extra storage space and prep space but can be moved out of the way when not it use.
