Immigration Meeting Participants Strategize To Support LALDEF

Against a national backdrop of continuing conflict over immigration laws and practices and the fate of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a group of about 70 business owners, academics, and other residents met last Wednesday at the Nassau Street Presbyterian Church to hear from an array of speakers and express their support for the immigrant community. At the second annual “stakeholders” meeting, sponsored by the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) and the Princeton University Center for Migration and Development (CMD), featured speakers included LALDEF leaders; two students, one a Princeton University senior who is a DACA recipient, partnering with Princeton University and Microsoft in a national lawsuit, the other a Princeton Day School junior participant in LALDEF’s FUTURO Continued on Page 14

Beta Bike Lanes Win Mostly Positive Reviews Experimental bike lanes on Wiggins Street from the Princeton Public Library along Hamilton Avenue to Walnut Lane and Chestnut Street have provoked a range of responses, mostly positive, from cyclists and others. The lanes will remain on the road through June 12, as road data continue to be collected. “A report analyzing the data will be presented at the June 25th Council meeting,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, “ and at that same meeting, Council will discuss next steps.” The town is collecting feedback from a survey that can be found on the municipal website princetonnj.gov under “featured announcements,” and residents have also weighed in on social media, in Town Topics (see this week’s Mailbox on page 9), and in other local publications. “Add me to the giant list of townsfolk who LOVE the #BetaBikeLane,” tweeted Shelley Krause. “The feeling of security and ease it offers is just wonderful.”

Lempert noted, “We’ve received over a dozen comments from residents, including high school students and downtown employees. Overall, I thought the demonstration project was a success, and hope we can replicate it in other areas where improvements are being considered.” She added that experiencing the proposed changes before making a decision on the bike lanes will be helpful in allowing “everyone to see more clearly the benefits, and also to identify any issues that arise and to try to come up with solutions.” Tim Quinn, council liaison to the Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee (PBAC) and one of the architects and a careful monitor of this project, described positive results of the bike lanes. “I’ve heard from dozens of residents who have ridden in the bike lanes, driven along Wiggins/ Hamilton during the beta, and watched the project with interest. The overwhelming majority of the responses have been positive.” He continued, “During installation, one

of the residents along the route came out to me and said ‘When you came out here last week to notify us of the lanes, I was apprehensive about the project. But now that I see it, I think it will narrow the car lanes and slow down traffic. Other residents have noticed fewer bikes on the sidewalk during the beta.” Continued on Page 4

Springdale Golf Club Looks to Future, Affiliates With Nassau Swim Club

There is significant history on the grounds of Springdale Golf Club. Right around the fairway of the fifth hole, George Washington’s troops are said to have camped prior to the historic Battle of Princeton in 1777. But the current focus at Springdale is on the future — specifically, appealing to a broader base of the community. Continued on Page 14

Beta Bike Lanes continued from page one

The stretch of Wiggins/ Hamilton is a crosstown route that connects many neighborhoods, the high school, and the middle school with the library and the central business district. Most criticism of the experimental bike lanes seems to focus on the loss of a number of parking spaces replaced by bike lanes. One Facebook response suggested that a compromise “more fair” solution might retain the bike lanes west of Jefferson but not east of Jefferson, and that the bike lanes “be seasonal somehow, with the space reverting to parking in the colder months.” The PBAC acknowledged that there had been “some pushback from a few residents” and urged supporters

Local Businesses Help To Save the Sourlands

Local businesses, big and small, are helping the Sourland Conservancy protect, promote, and preserve the largest contiguous forest in central New Jersey. Sourland Mountain, located between the city of Lambertville and Hillsborough Township, is a 90 square mile hard diabase ridge that is one of the three major areas of unbroken habitat in New Jersey (The Pine Barrens and the Highlands being the other two). The Sourland Mountain region provides critical habitat

for a rich diversity of plant and animal species. It is an important stopover point for birds migrating along the Atlantic Flyway and supports many endangered species. The mountain has also been a refuge for run-away slaves and a hiding place for those fleeing the law. The British Revolutionary war battles were planned there and the infamous Lindbergh baby kidnapping occurred on the mountain. The Sourland Conservancy is the only organization dedicated solely to the protection and preservation of the Mountain and local businesses are coming on board to help. These companies know that that their support helps to sustain the Sourland Mountain’s natural beauty, unique ecology and rich heritage. They also have the opportunity to involve their employees in active support

through the Conservancy’s volunteer program. There are a wide range of companies getting involved. Bristol-Myers Squibb has provided grants, volunteers, and professional help to the Conservancy. The Ryland Inn provides the VIP service at the Sourland Music Festival, with support from local farmers, Volvo of Princeton, Coldwell Banker, and Secure Retirement Strategies. The Princeton Record Exchange, the outdoor equipment cooperative REI and Hunterdon Healthcare are among those helping to promote the Festival. Sourland Cycles, Sourland Mountain Spirits, the Bank of Princeton, Kilbourne and Kilbourne, The Brothers Moon and The Bent Spoon are Sourland Conservancy Business Partners. Savvy business owners know that the Sourland Mountain has an important role in making this area such a great place to live and do business. It provides healthy leisure opportunities, a chance to get away from the stress of everyday life and enhances the quality of life for those communities based in and around it. As Mike Barasch of Coldwell Banker Realty put it, “It’s not just that I personally love having the Mountain on my doorstep. It really enhances the attractiveness of the area, and that is why we are supporting the great work of the Conservancy.” Many of these companies will have a presence at the Sourland Music Festival on June 23 at the Hillsborough Country Club. Visitors will enjoy great music, wonderful food, lots of activities for kids, and an opportunity to learn more about the Sourlands. Find details and tickets at www.sourland musicfest.org.

Maya Lin’s “Princeton Line” Will Take Shape Adjacent to Lewis Arts Complex Next Month Just past the Dinky Bar & Kitchen and the Cargot Brasserie, across from McCarter Theatre on a slope extending down from the new Lewis Arts complex, lies a large expanse of dirt enclosed by orange barriers and a metal fence. “Coming Soon, Maya Lin” reads a sign on the fence,

and within the next month that huge dirt space will be transformed into an earthwork installation titled “The Princeton Line,” the latest creation by the internationally-acclaimed artist who first achieved recognition for her design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The Princeton University Art Museum commissioned Lin to design a two-part installation adjacent to the Lewis Arts complex, and Lin has described her conception as a continuation of a series of recent works called “Earth Drawings” and comprising two elements: an earthwork and a water table. Designed to interact with the surrounding environment, it w ill inv ite v isitors to explore undulating spaces created by mounded earth with the expectation that students will use these spaces for performances and outdoor classes. Currently on holiday, Linwas not available for comment, but the first phase of the project, the earthwork, is scheduled for completion next month, and the second phase, the water table, will be installed in the fall. Other earthworks by Lin of the same series as “The Pr inceton L ine” include the “Eleven Minute Line” (2004) in Sweden and the “Kentucky Line” (2008) in Louisville, Kentucky. A granite water table with a spheroid base will be the second component of Lin’s work. A fountain will be situated within a gravel plaza that appears to float above the ground with concreteedge seating along the back, according to the Princeton University Office of Communications. The fountain’s veil of water will be wispy as it falls from the 12-foot-long tabletop made of jet mist granite. “T h e t able’s el l ipt ic a l shape, inspired by drawings of the Earth’s orbit around the sun; the water weir, inspired by the notion of a black hole; and the jet mist granite, with a white, almost starry patterning, come together to help ‘reflect the galaxy’ — an allusion to the work of Albert Einstein,” the Office of Communications noted.

A 2016 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Lin has created an influential body of work during her career that includes large -scale, site -specific installations; intimate studio artworks; architectural works; and memorials. “By making a work in which she shapes and draws a line in the earth, together with the most abstract of her water tables to date, I am certain that Maya will make a lasting and engaging mark on our campus,” said Princeton University Art Museum Director James Steward. “She is simply one of the most extraordinary designers of our time,” added Steward, who has known

19th Century New Jersey Mercer County Photographs

On Wednesday, June 13 at 7 p.m., the Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System hosted Gary D. Saretzky, Monmouth County archivist and renowned photographer, for a lecture entitled “19th Century New Jersey P h o to g r a p h e r s : M e r c e r County.” O f t h e appr ox i m ate l y 3,000 different photographers who were active in New Jersey before 1900, more than 250 lived or worked in Mercer County, most of them in Trenton. In a slide lecture, Saretzky will profile these pioneers, including Edward H. Stokes, who lived in what is now the William Trent House, and discuss them within the larger context of New Jersey photography in the 19th century. As seen in the slides, these photographers documented the people and places of their times but, in addition, their individual histories provide insight into social conditions of their era. Saretzky has worked as an archivist for more than 45 years at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Educational Testing Service, and the Monmouth County Archives, where he has been county archivist since 1994. Saretzky taught the history of photography at Mercer County Community College, 1977-2012, and coordinated the Public History Internship Program for the Rutgers University History Department, 1994-2016. The lecture will be presented by The Lawrence Historical Society and The Friends of the Lawrence Library. For more information about The Lawrence Historical Society, visit www.thelhs.org. The Lawrence Headquarters Branch is part of the Mercer County Library System. See www.mcl.org for more information.

The Future of PARCC Testing Is Subject of Community Forum The controversial PARCC tests will be the focus of a community meeting on Monday, June 11 from 7-9 p.m. in the John Witherspoon School cafeteria. Save Our Schools NJ and The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) are hosting the roundtable, to which 120 free tickets will be allotted for parents, students, educators, and other interested community members. PA RCC stands for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. The standardized assessment, adopted during the administration of former Gov. Chris Christie, requires high school students in the class of 2020 and beyond to take PARCC exams in order to graduate, and students in the class of 2021 and beyond to receive a four or higher on the 10th grade English Language Arts and Algebra 1 PARCC exams in order to graduate. The requirements have been opposed by Gov. Phil Murphy, but the state legislature must cooperate in order to eliminate the underlying law mandating the exit testing. PARCC has been the target of much criticism from local educators, teachers’ unions, and community members, with many parents in Princeton choosing for their children, particularly at the high school level, to opt out of taking the tests. The upcoming meeting in Princeton is one of several the NJDOE is holding throughout the state in collaboration with such organizations as Save Our Schools NJ, the Garden State Coalition of Schools, and the

New Jersey Education Association. Those who can’t attend can provide written feedback at assessment @ doe.nj.gov. Save Our Schools NJ urges those attending meetings or providing written feedback to be specific in stating what aspects of PARCC tests work well, and which need improvement. Since federal law requires annual testing in English Language Arts and Math in grades threeeight and nine-12, opinions on replacement tests and how they are administered should be part of the discussion, the organization advises.

Princeton-Blairstown Center Recalled With Humor, Candor When Pam Gregory heard that Kathryn “Kitsi” Watterson’s 2017 book I Hear My People Singing included reminiscences from Princeton residents who attended summer camp at the Princeton — Blairstown Center, of which she is president and CEO, she rushed over to Labyrinth Books to buy a copy. Last week, four of those former campers — Shirley Satterfield, Romus Broadway, Eric Craig, and John Broadway — appeared with Watterson at Princeton Public Library in a panel discussion about their experiences at the 110-year-old summer program that provides free, advent ure -based exper iences for vulnerable youth. An exhibit about the center is on view in the library’s Princeton Room through the end of July. “I was so moved by the book, and I immediately thought it would be perfect to get these people together like this,” said Gregory. “We had our leadership dinner first, followed by the public forum. We like to do things t hat help educate folks

about what we are doing.” The alumni who shared their memories had plenty to say, much of it with humor. “What struck me the most was that they were so funny,” said Gregory. “People were chortling. Kitsi asked them to talk about their experiences, and some of the things they remembered were things we wouldn’t do today. For example, kids who cursed got their mouths washed out with soap. When they disagreed, the kids would put on boxing gloves in the evenings and box it out. Those are things that we’d be shut down for today, but it was interesting to hear stories about them, and in such an entertaining way.” The Princeton-Blairstown Center began in 1908 as a summer camp run by Princeton University students and faculty. It has evolved into a variety of year-round programs that serve more than 7,000 young people from the Mid-Atlantic states. As the organization’s website reads, “Today our awardw inning Summer Br idge Program serves as the centerpiece of the Center’s work

and provides week-long educational programs to approximately 600 students from low-income communities in Trenton, Newark, and New York City free of charge.” Satterfield, a well-known local historian, commented at the discussion, “What’s so special about Blairstown is that it brought us together no matter what color you were. Growing up in segregated Princeton where we couldn’t even go up on Nassau Street, it was great to be in one place where people could get along and have respect.” The panelists talked about how they learned to love nature during their summer weeks at the camp. “That’s still true today,” said Gregory. “They also said that the counselors respected them and really cared about them, so much so that they would visit them back in Pr inceton. We hear t he same things today about the college students that work in our Summer Bridge Program. The kids feel they have a caring adult who is looking out for them.”

MEMORIES OF CAMP: Last week, alumni of the Princeton-Blairstown Center got together for a panel discussion at Princeton Public Library in honor of the center’s 110th anniversary. From left are Romus Broadway, Eric Craig, author Kitsi Watterson, Shiriey Satterfield, and John Broadway. The panelists had fond memories of Everard “Ev” Pinneo, who was student director when they were at camp and is now an honorary trustee; and the late John Danielson, who was executive director, then director of development, and finally a member of the center’s board of trustees. The two men and other key players in the center’s history are part of the exhibition in the library’s Princeton Room. The program was originally supposed to take place in a different location. When that fell through, the li-

brary was welcoming. “Brett Bonfield (executive director) came through in such a great way, along with his staff,” Gregory said. “He is the epitome of community in many ways, and not just because of this. They all went out of their way to make this happen.” —Anne Levin

Responsible Jewellery Council Recertifies Hamilton Jewelers

The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) has ann o u n c e d t h at H a m i lto n Jewelers, 92 Nassau Street, has achieved re-certification meeting the ethical, human rights, social, and environmental standards as established by the RJC’s Member Certification System. Hamilton is the first family-owned jeweler to achieve this certification. Through an independent audit of Hamilton’s business practices, polices, management systems, workplace safety policies, and employment practices, Hamilton has once again received the recertification. The RJC is an international body, based in London, which seeks to raise the overall compliance, procedures, and ethics of the jewelry industry. In 2012, Hamilton was the first independently owned retailer in the world to become RJC certified, a distinction typically achieved by much larger organizations. Hank Siegel, Hamilton’s president and CEO says, “Hamilton is extremely proud of our re-certification by the RJC. Our firm and my family have long embraced our ethical and social responsibilities to serve our communities and industry, and are deeply appreciative of the RJC’s activities to promote such practices and extend them throughout the entire supply chain. We encourage all fine jewelry retailers, large and small, to consider RJC certification.” Founded in 1912, Hamilton serves clients in both the New Jersey and Palm Beach communities as well as a national and international clientele. Hamilton has been a longtime supporter of many

important efforts to sustain social responsibility in its business as well as the fine jewelry industry. Including partnership with the Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC), Jewelers of America (JA), American Gem Society (AGS ), and the Diamond Trading Company ( DTC ), Hamilton takes this commitment to the environment, human rights, and the planet seriously. The company also carefully monitors its carbon footprint and works to continually improve its environmental policies.

EASEL Hosts Hannah Shaw, The Kitten Lady

On June 16 at 4 p.m. at Rider University in Lawrenceville, Hannah Shaw, “The Kitten Lady,” will be conducting her Tiny but Mighty Workshop. The event will present an overview of issues impacting cats and kittens, such as : how to set up your home to make fostering cats and kittens safe and fun; how to properly feed, clean, and provide medical care; behavioral information; how to handle various scenarios involving moms with their babies, feral kittens, and more. “This is hard work, but it’s absolutely attainable and anybody can save lives if they just dedicate themselves to doing so,” says Shaw. Karen Azarchi, EASEL’s president commented, “We are excited to have a dedicated animal advocate share her knowledge and stories with us. My hope is it will inspire more people to foster and help local citizens have a better understanding about the importance of spaying and neutering community cats.” For more information, visit www.easel.regfox.com/thekitten-lady.

BOOK REVIEW

“A Game So Grand and Beautiful” — Philip Roth On Writing and Baseball

ne of the photos of Philip Roth (19332018) published with last week’s New York Times obituary was taken at Princeton in 1964. He’s leaning on a table, his head propped on one hand. Dressed in a suit and tie, he’s looking less like a writerin-residence than a weary ballplayer, Hank Greenberg all dressed up in civvies after a grueling game. The check-out desk and display case in the background suggest that the photo was taken at Firestone Library. Roth is 31, in the last year of his two-year teaching stint at the University. According to Sylvia Tumin, this was around the time Roth was “breaking up with Maggie,” his first wife, with whom he had been living in a small ranch house that used to occupy the corner of Mountain Avenue and Bayard Lane. Writing in response to my August 20, 2008 column “The Diamond as Big as America: A Whirlwind Tour of Philip Roth,” Sylvia informed me that during his time at Princeton Roth had been a close friend of her husband, sociologist Melvin Tumin, the inspiration for the protagonist of The Human Stain (2000). An American Passion It was a toss of the proverbial coin that brought the great slugger Hank Greenberg to mind. Having returned from the library with an armload of Roth, I was at a loss as to where and how to begin, so I closed my eyes, flipped open a book at random and landed smack in the middle of Portnoy’s Complaint in Novels, 1967-1972, but instead of sexual frenzy and “dirty Jewish laundry,” I found Portnoy expanding to his shrink on baseball, an American passion that he and I and countless others share: while he grew up rooting for the Brooklyn Dodgers, I was a fan of their arch rivals the St. Louis Cardinals. Here’s Portnoy in the outfield chasing down a fly ball in deep center (“I got it! I got it!”), “going back easily and gracefully toward that wire fence, moving practically in slow motion, and then that delicious DiMaggio sensation of grabbing it like something heaven-sent over one shoulder.” Is there a more evocative image of the writer’s moment? — your back to the sound of the ball on the bat, the right word or the right phrase on its way, soaring overhead while you time your muse-blessed instincts so that you’ll reach up just in time, there it is, heaven-sent! In that one passionate paragraph Roth gets it all, “the unruffled nonchalance of that game! the beauty of standing in center field without a care in the world in the sunshine … oh to be a center fielder, a center fielder — and nothing more!” Roth is also talking about the great game of writing — oh to be a writer, a writer — and nothing more! That’s the subtext of Portnoy’s Complaint. It’s not just about sex and Jewishness, it’s about the agony and ecstasy of writing. Baseball and America In his April 2, 1973 New York Times op-ed, “My Baseball Years,” Roth claims he “came to have a stronger sense of the American landscape from following the major league clubs on their road trips, and reading about the dozens of minor league teams in the back pages of The Sporting News …. The size

of the continent got through to you finally when you had to stay up to 10:30 p.m. in New Jersey (where it was raining) to hear via radio ‘tickertape,’ Cardinal pitcher Mort Cooper throw the first strike of the night to Brooklyn shortstop Pee Wee Reese out in steamy Sportsmen’s Park in St. Louis, Missouri.” A decade later I’m in Indiana listening to Cardinal games on KMOX, “the clear channel Voice of St. Louis” while dreaming on the poetry of American names. Baseball and a Father One way Roth helped his father deal with

eration Shylock (1993) as the narrator, one “Philip Roth,” recalls afternoon classes at the Hebrew school in Newark where “we learned to write backwards, to write as though the sun rose in the west and the leaves fell in the spring, as though Canada lay to the south, Mexico to the north,” after which “we escaped back into our cozy American world, aligned just the other way around, where all that was plausible, recognizable, predictable, reasonable, intelligible, and useful unfolded its meaning to us from left to right.” And the great exception, the only place where “we

up in wartime when “patriotism is grounded in moral virtuousness and bloody‐minded hate,” Roth says that through baseball he “came to understand and experience patriotism in its tender and humane aspects, lyrical rather than martial or righteous in spirit, and without the reek of saintly zeal, a patriotism that could not quite so easily be sloganized, or contained in a high‐sounding formula to which one had to pledge something vague but all‐encompassing called one’s ‘allegiance.’“ Another detail from Roth’s “My Baseball Years” describes standing to sing the National Anthem in the school auditorium every week, while the teacher “waved her arms in the air and we obliged with the words: ‘See! Light! Proof! Night! There!’ Nothing stirred within, strident as we might be — in the end just another school exercise. But on Sundays out at Ruppert Stadium (a green wedge of pasture miraculously walled in among the factories, warehouses, and truck depots of Newark’s industrial ‘Ironbound’ section), … it would have seemed to me an emotional thrill forsaken if we had not to rise first to our feet … to celebrate the America” that had given us “a game so grand and beautiful.” Now we’re living under a president who chastises football players for daring to kneel rather than pledge allegiance. In a January conversation in the New York Times, presumably his last interview, Roth tells Charles McGrath, “No one I know of has foreseen an America like the one we live in today. No one (except perhaps the acidic H. L. Mencken, who famously described American democracy as ‘the worship of jackals by jackasses’) could have imagined that the 21st-century catastrophe to befall the U.S.A., the most debasing of disasters, would appear not, say, in the terrifying guise of an Orwellian Big Brother but in the ominously ridiculous commedia dell’arte figure of the boastful buffoon.” Updating the Obit laudia Roth Pierpont’s sympathetic, enlightened, and unsparing biographical study, Roth Unbound: A Writer and His Books (2013), closes with “Afterthoughts, Memories, and Discoveries,” where there’s a reference to how Roth was quick to catch on that the reason for a “discreet” interview at the time was to update his New York Times obituary. Roth was “not in the least put out by the idea; it’s hardly as though he hadn’t thought about what’s coming next.” But the one thing that disturbed him was knowing that the paper would use Times reviews in summing up his career. “Even in death,” he says, “you get a bad review.” —Stuart Mitchner Also included with Portnoy’s Complaint (1969) in Novels 1967-1972 are When She was Good (1967); Our Gang (Starring Tricky and His Friends), Roth’s 1971 takedown of Nixon with its Trump-timely epigraph from Orwell (“one ought to recognize that the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language”); and the Kafkaesque fantasy The Breast (1972). The 2005 Library of America volume also reprints Roth’s prefaces to the Bantam paperbacks of Our Gang: The Watergate Edition (1973), and The Pre-Impeachment Edition (1974).

an as yet undiagnosed fatal illness in the spring of 1986 was to get him interested in the New York Mets; it was a great time to be a Mets fan with the team on its way to a pennant and a world championship. Writing in Patrimony (1991), Roth gives baseball credit for bringing his father out of a precancerous malaise: “he was nearly fit again, and also very much a fan — and a fan for the first time, really, since I was a small boy and he used to take my brother and me out to Ruppert Stadium in Newark to see the old Triple-A Newark Bears play a Sunday doubleheader against our rivals from across the marshes, the Jersey City Giants.” The Sandlot Diamond Baseball makes an unlikely appearance in an empty Jerusalem schoolroom in Op-

proceeded in reverse, where it was natural, logical, in the very nature of things, the singular and unchallengeable exception, was on the sandlot diamond. In the early 1940s, reading and writing from right to left made about as much sense to me as belting the ball over the outfielder’s head and expecting to be credited with a triple for running from third to second to first.” Baseball and Patriotism In the same 1973 Times op-ed Roth describes baseball as “a kind of secular church that reached into every class and region of the nation and bound us together in common concerns, loyalties, rituals, enthusiasms, and antagonisms.” Baseball made him understand “what patriotism was about, at its best.” After recalling how it was to grow

Immigration Meeting continued from page one

program for first and second generation immigrant students; and two experts on immigration, Princeton University Professor Rosina Lozano and CUNY Professor Alberto Vourvoulias, former deputy editor of Time magazine’s Latin America edition. Setting the tone “with a deep sense of urgency” in her invitation to the meeting, LALDEF Board Chair Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, a Princeton University sociology professor, noted that “demand for LALDEF’s expertise has spiked” in the last three months, “in the wake of raids and arrests in several states, including our own.” Fernandez-Kelly continued, “we have witnessed escalating anxiety among families lacking legal standing,” and added that LALDEF’s office space and staff have been over whelmed. “To meet this dramatic new set of needs, LALDEF is reaching out to community partners committed to basic human dignity as well as the constitutional rights of our immigrant neighbors,” she said. Fernandez-Kelly described the troubled climate that has recently prevailed. “Immigrants and refugees were the center of last year’s presidential campaign and Donald J. Trump’s administration is now delivering on promises made by targeting undocumented Americans for harsh treatment,” she said. “This new climate of terror and distrust is dividing families; creating unnecessar y suffering ; and dishonoring American traditions of justice, compassion, and fair play.” “Very few times in our history have the circumstances for immigrants been as harsh as they are today,” she continued. “We’re making a statement about reversing that perilous trend. For 14 years LALDEF has fought relentlessly on behalf of hospitality, decency, and justice.” Varvoulias, a journalist and academic who has also served as the executive editor of EL Diario/La Prensa, the country’s oldest Spanish-language newspaper, told the story of his involvement, as the grandson of a refugee, in speaking out for the rights of immigrants. Varvoulias’ grandfather fled from Anatolia early in the 20th century to Latin America, then to the United States

after the Turkish Revolution. “My grandfather was the rock my family was saved on,” Varvoulias said. “I was much more fortunate. I lived in very easy times.” More recently, Vourvoulias was working in Italy observing tens of thousands of im m ig rants “washing ashore.” He observed how xenophobic elements in Italy reacted and he understood the importance of “people before policy issues. These were human beings. We were helping human beings These weren’t policy issues. We are the offspring of refugees.” He went on to explain how his children at Princeton High School urged him to support LALDEF. “Global issues are also local issues. We knew people who were suffering from problems, basic human rights issues: access to health services, education, and legal representation.” L A L DE F E xecutive Director Adriana Abizadeh described many “sleepless nights, emergency calls at all hours when our neighbors were being raided, and many long hours at the office to ensure that every client was served,” and she presented LALDEF’s ambitious plans for the year ahead, including a new home and further expansion of their programs. “At LALDEF we don’t save the day. We find a way,” she said. Ab i z a d e h p oi nte d ou t many successes achieved by LALDEF this year, with demand growing rapidly — about 3,000 clients last year and anticipation of about 4,000 this year, as well as the growing FUTURO program to support immigrant students in transition from high school to college, passage of a bill to provide state tuition assistance for undocumented students, a big push to make New Jersey the 13th state to expand driver’s licenses to undocumented residents, and training for Solidaridad Princeton!, a rapid-response network to support immigrants in need. LALDEF will stay in the Chambersburg section of Trenton, but next month will be moving its headquarters to a much larger building, Abizadeh repor ted. T he historic building they have acquired was once a social club for immigrants, and it contains an additional 4,500 square feet of space and the capacity to greatly increase the number of people served by LALDEF’s programs. —Donald Gilpin

Springdale Golf Club continued from page one

Central to that mission is a new agreement with Nassau Swim Club, which is nestled in woods within walking distance of the golf club. As part of this new arrangement, swim club members can use Springdale’s dining facilities and play golf, and Springdale members have a place to cool off in the pool. Dues at both locations will remain the same (golfers will play green fees). “We are adapting to demographics that are negative for golf,” said Kevin Tylus, chairman of Springdale’s board of governors and president of Bryn Mawr Trust. “There has been a big shift — baby boomers are aging. New members will still have to be invited to join, but it won’t be as exclusive.” Membership at Springdale suffered three years ago when Princeton University, which owns the land on which the 123-year-old course is situated, came out with information many interpreted as threatening to the club’s future. In its Campus Plan, the school indicated that “the Springdale land would be reserved for long-term use in support of the University’s educational mission,” according to Daniel Day, assistant vice president in the University’s Office of Communications. While the plan makes no recommendations for specific uses, it does note that any future development would not occur for at least 10 years. “Also, any development would be sensitive to any potential impact on the adjacent neighborhood, would enhance the stream corridor and recognize the historic attributes of the property, and would seek to improve public access to open space on the site, including pedestrian and cycling pathways,” according to the plan. Springdale’s licensing agreement with the University expires in 2037. That, and the club’s longstanding, cordial relationship with the school, make Tylus feel secure about the club’s location. Membership has grown by 10 percent in the past year. “The news, three years ago, was very conceptual,” he said. “Now, with the announcement of the Lake Campus they are developing, we believe the club can be maintained as a green space for a long time. The University is an outstanding partner. We’re one of 14 affiliates they have. They’ve helped us with things like dealing with the emerald ash borer

infestation. They hold events here. We’re the home of their men’s and women’s golf teams.” Springdale was, in fact, created by Princeton University. In 1895, the Princeton Golf Club was formed by alumni, faculty, and undergraduates. According to the Springdale website, “Moses Taylor Pyne, Stephen Palmer, and Cornelius C. Cuyler formed the Springdale Association and raised $25,000 to buy the old Stockton Farm of 240 acres, the site of the present Graduate College and Springdale Golf Club. Work started on a new nine-hole course that opened for play in March of 1902. The property was turned over to the University in 1909.” The course was enlarged to 18 holes in 1915. Famed golf course architect William Flynn is responsible for a significant redesign in 1927. The original design is attributed to Willie Dunn Jr. and Gerald Lambert. “The golf course architects are as famous as the architects who built the campus,” said Tylus. “So the culture of Springdale fits Princeton University. This course has been large un-reconstructed since Flynn redesigned it. From a golf standpoint, this is a major piece of land.” For Nassau Swim Club, the agreement with Springdale is “a no-brainer,” said Kristina Hill, president of the board. “It’s all about building a community in this neighborhood, where I think we’ve lost some of that. We have this beautiful pool in the woods. They have a beautiful golf course. This is a good way to go.” The swim club, which opened for the season last weekend, was created in the 1960s as a cooperative. “Everybody puts in time,” said Hill. “And that was a very important part of what we needed to have in the agreement. If you register, we ask you to give a couple of hours, whether it be scooping ice cream, teaching a yoga class, or whatever — just bring your talents and skills. We felt this was important to maintain. And it’s a way for people to meet new friends and get to know each other.” Swim club members will have access to Springdale’s golf course after 2 p.m. “We can play there and bring a guest, which is great because a lot of people will want to bring their son or daughter to play. We’ll have access to meals there and be invited to some of their events,” Hill said. Springdale’s new arrangement with Nassau Swim Club is one of several efforts to broaden its base and appeal to a wider community. Last October, the club partnered with Special Olympics on an event for the youth development organization The First Tee. A First Responders Day is planned for emergency workers and their families. Women Golfers Give Back, a fundraiser to include a clinic for junior girls, will take place in October. The future of the club “is not something that’s causing stress for Springdale members,” said Tylus. “If anything, it has created a better dialogue with the University. We are a University affiliate, in the top 10 of university-affiliated golf clubs in the country. Maybe the news was actually a wake-up call about how this cherished land is in the everyone’s best interest to keep in play. The swim club is one step in that process.” —Anne Levin

Princetonians Invited to Share Their Stories

Princetonians are invited to share their stories as part of Voices of Princeton, a community-based oral history project that aims to collect, share, and archive stories and memories. The project is a collaboration between the library, the Historical Society of Princeton, the Arts Council of Princeton, and the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society. Everyone is welcome to participate, whether they are a lifelong Princetonian or new to the area. Voices of Princeton histories are recorded in an interview format in which two people who know each other conduct a guided conversation, with one person serving primarily as the interviewee and the other as the interviewer. “Stories define us,” said Brett Bonfield, Princeton Public Library executive director. “When we give voice to our own stories or listen to others’ stories with empathy, we develop our capacity to understand and contribute to our community. I am grateful to our partners and my colleagues at the library for their work in creating this project, and I look forward to hearing the stories that will bring it to life.” No experience is needed to participate, and guidance will

be provided about how to prepare for the interview. Through the project website, two people who know each other sign up for an interview time. After they register, they will be matched with a trained project facilitator for the interview. During the interview, the facilitator operates the recording equipment and handles the logistics so the participants can focus on the interview without distractions. All interviews will be made available through the Voices of Princeton website, where they will be keyword searchable by topics mentioned during the conversation. The recordings will also be archived at the Historical Society of Princeton, alongside approximately 500 existing oral history recordings. “We’re proud to be building a sustainable infrastructure for the collecting and recording of stories,” said Izzy Kasdin, executive director of the Historical Society of Princeton. “Such a collaborative and long-lasting way of capturing recollections whenever the opportunity or need arises has not existed in Princeton for quite some time. We’re thrilled to be launching this project with our community partners.” Participants for the pilot phase of Voices of Princeton are currently being sought. Information about sign-up, and more about the project, is available at VoicesofPrinceton.org.

Montessori Music Teacher Visits China

Princeton Montessori School’s artist-in-residence music teacher Alex Mitnick traveled to China earlier this month to teach at a children’s music school in Beijing. Mitnick was invited by the director of the music school, Lucy Luo, who got to know Mitnick after her son spent a month in the Montessori School’s third grade during the family’s winter travels. Mitnick spent the first three days of his eight-day trip performing and teaching workshops at a music festival held on the beaches of the Yellow Sea. He also spent time working with the children’s choir at the LUO Music Education School. “I was honored that Mrs. Luo asked me to come to Beijing to work with her students and teachers,” Mitnick said. “Music is my passion and I think Mrs. Luo values the fact that I not only teach music, but also work as a musician.”

Vertical Farming Project At Hopewell Elementary School

Princeton University’s Vertical Farming Project (VFP) will be partnering with the Hopewell Elementary School to develop their vertical farm-to-cafeteria program, beginning in September 2018. Hopewell fifth grade teacher Helen Corveleyn, who oversees the school’s outdoor garden beds and six indoor vertical hydroponics towers, has been instrumental in their new vertical farming initiative partnership with the University. Corveleyn will work closely with Princeton University associate research scholar Paul Gauthier, founder and director of the VFP, to develop the program at the elementary school. The on-site, indoor classroom will allow preschool through fifth-grade students to mirror Princeton’s program while providing the kids with fresh, organic produce for lunch and an introduction to current scientific development through the application of new, groundbreaking research and technologies. The Princeton VFP focuses on the sustainability and energy efficiency of vertical farming while studying production rates of hydroponic engineering systems along with marketing and economic feasibility.

Trenton Anti-Smoking Mural Dedication

Trenton-based artist Leon Rainbow, in collaboration with Trenton Health Team, will showcase his new mural inspired by promoting health among youth at the city’s West Ward Community Center at an unveiling on Tuesday, June 5 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the gym of West Ward Community Center in Trenton. Rainbow, who combines graffiti, street art, and other artistic forms into innovative projects and events, worked with Trenton Health Team and The Public Good Projects on the “Smoking Makes You Weak; Trenton Makes You Strong” media campaign to promote tobacco prevention among Trenton youth. As part of this larger “MONI AND THE SPHYNX”: The work of multimedia artist Swoon and others is featured in campaign, Leon painted a “Multiple Ones: Contemporary Perspectives in Printmedia.” Now at the Hunterdon Art Museum mural inspired by young athin Clinton, the exhibition runs until September 2. letes staying healthy at the

city of Trenton’s West Ward Community Center. The mural, adorning two large walls of the community center’s indoor gym, depicts youths playing basketball while at the same time rejecting tobacco use. “I started smoking cigarettes when I was 13 years o l d ,” s a i d R a i n b o w. “ I smoked a pack a day until I was 23 years old. By the time I stopped, it was hard to breathe and was made worse by asthma. I am grateful that I am smoke-free for almost 20 years. I’ve had people close to me die of smokingrelated cancer. It’s not worth it! The key is to reach young people before they start. I hope the youth look at this mural and think before they pick up that first cigarette. If just one kid doesn’t start smoking, then I did my job.” Trinity Health, one of the largest multi-institutional Cat holic healt h systems in t he nat ion, prov ided the funding for this mural through St. Francis Medical Center and the Trenton Health Team (THT) as part of the Transforming Communities Initiative (TCI ). Through TCI, St. Francis Medical Center and THT aim to positively impact public health outcomes in Trenton and create health and wellbeing in the communit y through policy, systems, and environmental change, with the overarching goals to reduce obesity and tobacco use among youth. “We are grateful for Trinity Health’s support of the Trenton community,” said Elena Cromeyer, project director of TCI for THT. “By providing funding for an art project like this, we are able to harness the creativity and talent of a local artist to promote healthy behavior — physical activity and being smoke-free — in a community center serving youth.”

Music and Theater

THE JOEY ALEXANDER TRIO: On June 9 at 8 p.m., The Joey Alexander Trio will perform at McCarter Theatre. Born on island of Bali in Indonesia, Joey Alexander began teaching himself to play piano at the age of 6, and had his U.S. debut at Lincoln Center in 2014 at the age of 11. Wynton Marsalis was an early mentor, calling him “my hero who plays with the emotional depth like that a young adult.” Joey’s double-Grammy-nominated first album, “My Favorite Things,” was followed by “Countdown” (2016), and his latest, “Joey.Monk.Live,” on which Joey pays tribute to the pianist and composer who first made an impression on him and who still serves as a guiding inspiration. He will release his fourth CD in May, with six new compositions. His performance will be part of McCarter’s Jazz in June Festival.

When a group of New Yorkers attends the opening of a floating casino and disco, chaos ensues in the form of multiple calamities that harken back to such films as Earthquake, The Swarm, and The Poseidon Adventure. The parody is full-on ’70s, adorned by cringe-worthy fashions like platform shoes and bell bottoms, and set to the beat of songs such as “Hooked on a Feeling,” “Sky High,” “I Am Woman,” and “Hot Stuff.” Written by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick, the show had a 2016 run on Broadway that included a Tony Award nomination.

Former Borough Mayor Yina Moore Endorses Surinder Sharma for Council

To the Editor: When deciding to vote for a candidate for any office, I make an assessment of their demonstrated values, the positions that they have actively taken over time, and their accomplishments. I am not impressed by the freshness of faces that ascend to simply present change or a symbolic gesture. I am leery of those who want to use local office as a stepping stone to higher office. I tend to go on what is a known quantity based on a candidate’s engagement, knowledge, substance, consistency, and effectiveness. Dr. Surinder Sharma is that candidate. Surinder Sharma’s candidacy is borne out of his extensive understanding of and longtime contributions to a broad range of community-wide issues. I admire his persistence in probing issues to understand how to offer solutions. His observations and recommendations during this campaign season alone exhibit the same can-do approach he has

applied to extremely complicated problems that he has solved. In our interest as taxpayers, he challenges the status quo on how to think broadly about budgeting and where to find opportunities for cost reductions. I want a Council person who delves deeply and takes a stand that we can do better on many levels. Surinder exhibits a real intelligence and vigor, does his homework, and can convey his thoughts and suggestions with clarity, just as we would expect him to as a rocket scientist! He researches issues beyond the limits of tradition and local experiences. He looks for the obvious and outside the box to identify the best practices or non-traditional approaches. For example, when in a casual conversation with a friend about her desire to access a favorite local radio station while traveling outside of the signal area, he, along with two colleagues, set out to use their satellite communications experience to develop what is now Sirius radio! By example, he consulted stakeholders and professionals to fully understand the problem. His approach to civic engagement is much the same in that, he considers greater community and neighborhood perspectives for the greater good of our environment, economy, and all of humanity. Surinder is independent-minded and recognizes through testing and analysis, one must be open to options, opportunities, and the unexpected. He is learned, having recently earned his PhD in business management of engineering

and technology. He is pragmatic, able to address issues by making the most of simple to complex solutions. He has been particularly engaged at the municipal level in TV30 and the Complete Streets Committee, but on a broader level, he has also volunteered to positively impact our immigrant populations. He is adamant about the municipality doing more with its own assets to maximize the production of affordable housing, a suggestion that could also reduce population forecasts that are influencing the expansion of our school system. Surinder’s background and experience exhibits the traits of a highly effective person. He has engaged many citizens in understanding the details of issues beyond the superficial. He is a multilateral thinker, rather than one who stays on a single track. Therefore, I will be going to the polls on June 5 to vote for Surinder Sharma as the best candidate for Princeton Council in the best interest of our community. I ask that you do the same. YINA MOORE Former Mayor, Princeton Borough, Green Street

Thoughts to Remember When Voting for Council Candidates Who May Be Elected In November

To the Editor: I hope all Princetonians and New Jersey residents will join me in voting in the upcoming primary election, June 5. No matter whom you vote for, please remember that our right to vote is an essential civic and Constitutional responsibility so long as we seek to remain a democratic nation. We know the delusions of the founding fathers: only white men who owned property or paid taxes were permitted to vote. Women had no franchise. Nor did native Americans, male or female. “People of color” (as if “white people” were “white”) were not recognized as persons, simply bodies to be tallied. A major character in E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India thinks of “whites” as “pinko-grey.” We can’t forget that our gradually expanded (conceded?) rights to vote stand in sharpest contrast with the all-butuniversal deprivation of voting rights from women and men who are incarcerated. Maine and Vermont are the only states that do not deny voting rights to convicted felons while they are in prison; all other states, including New Jersey, suspend a prisoner’s right to vote until (variously) release from prison or the end of parole. According to Wikipedia, “In the national elections in 2012, the various state felony disenfranchisement laws together blocked an estimated 5.85 million felons from voting, up from 1.2 million in 1976. This comprised 2.5 percent of the potential voters in general.” We are all obliged to vote now for candidates for Princeton Council who may be duly elected in the November elections. Let’s take to the polling booths not only our knowledge of legal entitlement but our awareness of those whose franchise has been stripped from them: the Constitution proper (with its original amendments) nowhere denies voting rights to citizens convicted of felonies.

Supporting Michelle Pirone Lambros, A Leader With Vision for Princeton

To the Editor: I am writing to endorse Michelle Pirone Lambros for Princeton Council. I have known Michelle all her life and know her to be someone who has the ability to execute on her goals and get things done. When Michelle pursued her master’s degree program, she found the means to put herself through graduate school, and landed a job on Capitol Hill. She worked her way through school with a full course load and full-time job. Later, she started the first of many of her business ventures through contacts she made while working on political campaigns in California. In following her husband’s career, she moved to Mexico, where she learned the language and soon was working in a Mexican company running operations and overseeing online services. In her next move to Florida, Michelle started a retail wine store from the ground up, as well as created a Food & Wine festival, both of which she ran successfully for many years. Later, when she and her family moved to Kuwait, she started another food festival, the Taste of Q8, and quickly distinguished that festival as the signature festival for the nation of Kuwait. Michelle gets things done. I believe her background illustrates her leadership skills and I think these skills and vision are what Princeton needs as we move into a phase of development and change that calls for creative thinking and vision. I applaud Michelle for running a well-organized campaign and encouraging all to be involved in our government at the local level and to voice their concerns. She has the desire to give back to our historic community and she has the ability to make a difference. I endorse Michelle and hope you will join me in voting for her on June 5.

To the Editor: I wish to congratulate Princeton for clearing away all those pesky parking spaces on Wiggins in order to make bike lanes. The street will be much easier to drive now, with no concern about parked cars, and hardly any bicyclists in sight. And as for the people who desperately depended on those parking spaces: we don’t care about them, do we? TOBIAS D. ROBISON Jefferson Road

Bike Lanes a “Fantastic Addition” Giving Local Mom Confidence to Tackle Busy Roads

To the Editor, I would like to express my thanks to the mayor, Princeton Council members, Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee, and the volunteers who have all been instrumental in the installation of the temporary bike lanes on Wiggins Street. I love to frequent the shops, restaurants, and nightlife that downtown Princeton has to offer, yet I also want to do my part toward mitigating climate change, so would like to reduce my car usage. As a mother of two small children I am somewhat risk-averse, however, and I have to confess am normally a little scared of cycling on Wiggins, due to the narrow lanes and busy traffic. The cycle lanes were a fantastic addition that gave me a little extra confidence to tackle the busy roads and helped me to reduce my carbon footprint. In addition, given the glorious weather we have been experiencing, it was a delight to have an extra excuse to get outside and enjoy life! NINA PEEL Dempsey Avenue

Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee Thanks Those Making Temporary Bike Lane a Reality

To the Editor: On Sunday May 20, a team of volunteers of all ages came out to create temporary, dedicated bike lanes on Wiggins Street from Sylvia Beach Way (where the Spring Street garage driveway exits) along Hamilton Avenue to Walnut Lane and Chestnut Street. Members of the Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee would like to say a big “Thank You!” to everyone who has made the so-called Beta Bike Lane along Wiggins and Hamilton a reality. This stretch of public road is a key crosstown link that connects many neighborhoods, the high school, and the middle school with the public library and the central busi-

ness district. Heavy traffic along this route makes it difficult for cyclists to use (in its usual configuration), and there are no good alternatives, especially to the central business district. These temporary bike lanes will test how all users — pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists — experience sharing this roadway. The municipality especially wants to know whether cyclists feel safe and comfortable riding this route now that there is dedicated space for them, whether drivers feel less stress with bicycles out of the traffic lanes, what the neighbors think, what the students think, and if pedestrians feel better about walking on the sidewalks, with fewer cyclists opting to use them. We encourage everyone to put on a bike helmet and come out and try the bike lanes — and tell us how it feels to ride on a space of your own on the public roadway! An online survey is available at princetonnj.gov. Thank you. THE PRINCETON BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

As Forums and Debates Have Made Clear, Niedergang Is Best Democratic Candidate

To the Editor: Next Tuesday, June 5, registered Democrats will vote in the primary election to select the two Democrats who will stand for election to Princeton Council. The six candidates vying for these two seats on Council have participated in two debates that were moderated by the League of Women Voters (League), and two forums hosted by the Witherspoon Jackson Neighborhood Association. They have also had an opportunity to state their positions and respond to questions from the League, the members of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO), and the Princeton Municipal Democratic Committee (PDMC). This process has brought to the fore some clear differences between the candidates. I believe that Eve Niedergang has emerged as the best Democratic candidate to rep-

resent the people of Princeton on Princeton Council. Eve earned 77 percent of the vote at the PCDO Endorsement Meeting and therefore the endorsement of the Democratic Party Club. After meeting with all of the candidates, the PDMC selected Eve for a preferred position on the Primary Election ballot. Eve has shown a thorough understanding of the issues facing our community as can be seen in the May 1 League of Women Voters debate (go to Vote 411 and enter your address to see a video of the debate and Eve’s answers to questions from the League). She has shown an ability to listen, weigh the facts, and articulate a position that will benefit the residents of Princeton. Drawing upon her more than 25 years as a resident of and dedicated volunteer for Princeton, coupled with her extensive business experience in educational testing and consulting, Eve has the background knowledge to enable her to bring wise and balanced perspectives to Council’s decision-making. Issues such as affordable housing, middle income housing, traffic, development and redevelopment, maintaining a vital downtown, budgets, property tax, and planning for sustainability and mitigation of the effects of our changing climate will all command the attention of Council. Throughout her campaign, Eve has maintained a focus on the challenges that face our town. She has shown that she gathers and evaluates the facts and seeks a path to a solution. Eve has shown that she values input from all Princeton residents and is committed to building our community together. Eve has demonstrated that she will bring a decisive voice to Council’s deliberation on these and other challenging issues. For these reasons I believe that Eve Niedergang is the best candidate to represent the Democratic Party in this primary election and the best candidate to represent all of the people of Princeton on Princeton Council. I ask you to join me in voting for Eve Niedergang, in the Democratic Party primary election on the 5th of June.

CINEMA REVIEW

Just-Dumped Divorcée Returns to College in Midlife Crisis Comedy

eanna Miles (Melissa McCarthy) was a junior in college when she became pregnant and dropped out of school to have the baby. She married her boyfriend, Dan (Matt Walsh), who finished his degree and started his career while she remained a stay-at-home mom. Fast forward to the present and we see the couple dropping off their now-grown daughter Maddie (Molly Gordon) at their alma mater, Decatur University, where she’s about to begin her senior year. She’s moving back in with her girlfriends at the Theta Mu Gamma sorority house. On the drive home, Dan tells Deanna that he’s canceled their planned month-long vacation in Italy and instead is filing for a divorce. Furthermore, he wants her out of the house, because it’s in his name alone. He explains to his shocked wife that, “I just needed an upgrade.” Deanna is in a quandary about what to do next, because

she’s never held a job or even graduated from college. So she decides to return to Decatur to finish her senior year along with her daughter. Of course Maddie is mortified at the idea of having her mother with her on campus. That is the premise of Life of the Party, a comedy directed by Ben Falcone and co-written by Ben and his real-life wife, Melissa McCarthy. The movie marks the couple’s third collaboration, following Tammy (2014), and The Boss (2016). The movie is reminiscent of Back to School (1986), in which Rodney Dangerfield is a dad who decides to matriculate at the same college as his son. Very Good (HHH). Rated PG-13 for sexuality, partying, and drug use. Running time: 105 minutes. Production Studios: New Line Cinema/ Warner Brothers/On the Day Productions. Distributor: New Line Cinema/Warner Brothers Pictures. —Kam Williams

Girding for Round Three Against Columbia, PU Men’s Lightweights Seeking IRA Crown

ver the course of the spring, the Princeton University men’s lightweight varsity eight has separated itself from just about all of its competition. In regular season action, Princeton’s top boat posted victories over Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Penn, Dartmouth, Navy, and Georgetown, among others. But the Tigers have been unable to catch reigning national champion Columbia, falling to the Lions in a regular season meeting on March 31 and then coming in second to their rival in the grand final at the Eastern Sprints on May 13. “We did what we could do. There was one boat faster than us,” said Princeton head coach Marty Crotty, whose top boat clocked a time of 6:11.02 over the 2,000-meter course on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass. at Sprints with Columbia taking first in 6:08.60.

“It was the culmination of a season where we are putting things together and getting a little better every week. Unfortunately we weren’t next to them for long enough to have a decent boat race. Columbia rowed a good one. I don’t feel bad about our race at all. You can hope to be more competitive with the eventual winner and make them earn it a little more.” Princeton pulled away from the rest of the boats at the Sprints, which means it could be a two-horse race when and if it meets up with Columbia in the grand final this weekend at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta at Mercer Lake in West Windsor. “If you take your eyes off Columbia and just watch us; we had to do a little work there in the last 700 to get out of the mess, and I think we did that quite comfortably,” said Crotty, whose varsity eight finished more

than two seconds ahead of third-place finisher Penn at Sprints. “We have been in that 3-45 mess before; you don’t want to be on the wrong side of that. It was good to represent ourselves as that clear No. 2.” The depth displayed by the Tigers at the Sprints gives the program a clear chance to excel across the board at the IRA, which is slated for June 1-3. “It was a great day. It was one of my more memorable days in 12 years of coaching,” said Crotty, who got wins from the third and fourth varsity at the Sprints with the second varsity taking third in addition to the silver earned by the top boat. “Nobody gave us any anxiety with the heats, everybody went through. Everybody went out and performed at their level. We have been confident in that all year.” As the Tigers prepare for the IRA regatta, there is no need for major changes. “It is to get focused on what we do well, which is good base speed and a good flourish at the finish and just

Fueled by Disappointing Finish Last Spring, PU Open Crew Improves to 5th at NCAAs After the Princeton University women’s open varsity eight placed a disappointing ninth at the 2017 NCA A Championships, it was time for some immediate soul searching. The rowers met with head coach Lori Dauphiny as soon as they made the short trip from Mercer Lake to their boathouse for a frank exchange of views. “It was a time for reflection when it happened. It was challenging because it was very emotional,” said Dauphiny. “I listened hard and closely. I was pleased that they had the motivation and dedication, at that time when they were feeling so blue, to think about what we could do differently. We really tried to adjust this year; it was not a major overhaul but we changed a few things.” After going 13-1 in regular season races this spring and winning the grand final at the Ivy championship regatta, the varsity eight culminated its season of redemption by taking fifth at the NCAA championships last weekend at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Fla. “They were definitely on a mission. They had matured as a boat,” said Dauphiny. “There are many returners in that boat, so they had the experience of last year. They handled it with much more maturity as better racers than they had last year.” As the top boat hit the water last Friday for its opening

heat, it had to handle some tension. “They were very nervous going into the heat; it was the most nervous I have ever seen them,” said Dauphiny of the crew which ended up taking second to Washington in the race to advance directly to the semis. “After the heat there was a great sense of relief, it was, OK, we know what we are doing because there was a fear since it was the national championship and it was coming down the the final set of racing. Once they got the heat under their belts, that helped quite a bit to release some of the fear that they felt.” In the semis on Saturday morning, Princeton held off Michigan to take third and book a spot in the grand final. “The semi was tough; it was hard fought,” said Dauphiny, whose top boat was seeded eighth coming into the competition. “We knew every race would be tough for us because of our ranking going into it. We were pleased with the semi.” With the threat of thunderstorms prompting a change of schedule and the finals being moved up to Saturday afternoon rather than Sunday, the Tigers kept racing hard as they took fifth in a race won by California. “I can’t say that they fell short in the final,” said Dauphiny, whose boat clocked a time of 6:23.34, missing third by less than six seconds at Texas took bronze

in 6:17.80. “They laid it out and they gave it everything that they had. You don’t have a shot if you don’t get into the grand final.” T he P r i nceton s econd varsity eight laid it on the line as it also finished in the top 10, placing ninth as the rowers had to go through a repechage, or second chance, heat to fight their way into the semis and then took third in the petite final in the race for 7th-12th places. “They found their base speed in the rep. The bad side of the rep was that the whole regat ta was compressed,” said Dauphiny, who varsit y four placed 13th. “You have to race four times intensely in 48 hours. It takes a toll, you pay a price. They did their best in the semis but they were in above their heads. I would say that the final was awesome, that was their best race of the championship. It ended on a great note.” By paying the price over the season, the open rowers left the NCAAs this year with a much better feeling than they did in 2017. “The seniors felt accomp l i s h m e nt b e c au s e t h i s championship was so much better than last year in the overall team performance,” said Dauphiny. “The seniors left feeling good about what they had contributed to the team. We will greatly miss that senior group because they have been a force for us on the team. I think the underclassmen, and there are a number of them because it is a young team, are just excited about next year and the progress that they made. They want to do better, so by no means are we completely satisfied. The process is a big part of it, and this was a big step in the right direction.” —Bill Alden

Featuring a Mix of Depth, Competitive Fire PU Men’s Heavyweights Primed for IRAs Even though the Princeton University men’s heavyweight varsit y eight just missed earning a medal at Eastern Sprints earlier this month, the crew showed it can compete with any boat in the nation. “It was an awesome race. It was one of those things in rowing that you don’t get to see very often where there were three boats there and it was a drag race in the last 500 meters,” said Princeton head coach Greg Hughes, whose top boat placed fourth in its final at 5:58.728 over the 2,000-meter course with Brown coming in third at 5:58.232, Harvard taking second in 5:58.072, and Yale posting a winning time of 5:54.668. “It was a bummer to come up a little short in one of those. The boat made a lot of progress and it was two good races in the day. The heat was really strong, which set them up well for the final. They proved that they have got speed to be in the mix; that was cool to see.” It was cool for Hughes to see his second varsity eight edge Yale to earn gold at the competition which was held on May 13 in Worcester, Mass. “There are four freshmen in there. They did an amazing job,” said Hughes, whose 2V posted a time of 5:58.827 with Yale less than a second behind in 5:59.352. “It has been a strong season for them all year; they

have just been steady performers. It is a good, strong boat with a great attitude, so it had been awesome to see the way that those guys have progressed. For us as coaches, it is important to see the freshmen do what they did. We are graduating some talent, so it is going to be really important that those guys learn how to bring it up to the next level.” With the Tigers competing in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta at Mercer Lake in West Windsor from June 1-3, Hughes believes his program has the depth to perform at a high level. “For the last few years, it has been a primary focus for our staff to develop a deep, strong team,” said Hughes, noting that the fourth varsity placed first at Sprints, with the third varsity and fifth varsity both coming in second. “It is really rewarding to see that the whole team could show up. Getting 45 people ready to perform all together on the same day is hard and it requires a lot of hard work, focus, and commitment on the part of the team, and the team really stepped up.” In order to get his rowers to perform at their best for the IRA, Hughes is varying the workload in the buildup for the regatta. “A f te r s e ve n or e ig ht weeks of rapid fire, big races every single weekend, a lot of travel, and the academic

regime for the guys in there, we change what we do for a week and just get back to the basics of rowing,” said Hughes. “It is training as opposed to race preparation. We log some good miles. We split up the boats and row different combinations so that they can just go out and train together and race against each other. Then we start to build the boats back up.” Not having to travel far for the IRA should help the Tigers. “It is a great race course, and the way that Mercer organizes and runs an event, I always know going over there that it is going to be incredibly well run event,” said Hughes, noting that Princeton should have a lot of supporters on hand with Reunions weekend also talking place simultaneously with the regatta. “It is an awesome exper ience for the guys, we know the race course is fair.” Hughes knows that his guys will need to produce a great effort to excel this weekend. “The big thing is just being ready for fierce, competitive racing,” said Hughes. “We know those races could go either way and we are in the mix on them. We have to be ready to race in those tight confines and have our best performance.” —Bill Alden

of our sprint crew, to put his head down and do his work instead of having the spotlight on him all of the time,” said Samara. “I think that has really benefitted him. He is just putting in work, that is the best way I can put it. He is ready to make a run at a state title and do well.” Another distance runner who put in some good work over the weekend was junior Pinheiro. “Acasio showed tremendous heart this weekend. He didn’t feel well from the beginning of day one and he pushed through time and time again,” said Samara. “He pushed through to fight in that 1,600; he was in 12th place. In the first lap of the 4x800, he kicked us into first, and that is what helped us blow open the race and then came back dizzy in the 3,200 and just fought. His heart is going to serve him well going forward.” Junior McCarthy and senior Delaney also showed heart at the sectional. “Jackson McCarthy and Nick Delaney were big in that 800; it was a fast race and they hung in there,” said Samara. “McCarthy showed a lot of grit to get fourth. He was one of the guys that came back in the 4x400 and just put the team on his back.” Samara is looking for sophomore sprinter Perello to keep producing fast races. “Going into next week, I think Matt Perello is a guy to look at; he was able to help us get through in the 4x100 and 200,” said Samara. “By taking Nils out of the 200, we tried to ensure that he would have a much better spot for next weekend. He has a good chance to make it through to the 200 at the Meet of Champions.” L ook ing ahead to t he state Group 4 meet next weekend at Franklin High, Samara beleives that PHS has a chance to make more history. “We really feel it is us against us at this point,” asser ted Samara, noting the Little Tigers will need a huge effort to overcome perennial powerhouse East Orange at the meet. “If we do our job, I think we h ave a re a l ly g o o d chance to come out on top. East Orange doesn’t have as many events where they get points but the events they do have, they have three guys in them. We are confident. We made two or three strategic decisions this weekend in terms of our lineup and in terms of where we put guys that were specifically designed to go after East Orange. It has been our goal all season, and we are going to take our best shot.” —Bill Alden

We used this anger and adrenaline that we had to to fight back because we really wanted it.” Even though the deficit grew to 8-3 with 18:45 to go in the game, the Little Tigers weren’t about to give up the fight. “There were some doubts, but we are all athletes and we are all here to put everything on the field,” said DeMilt. “We have had a great season and we wanted it to end well.” Sparked by some great play from sophomore Shay______________ lah Marciano and junior _______________ Date & Time: ______________________ Mariana Lopez-Ona, PHS knotted the game at 8-8 our ad, scheduled to run ___________________. with 4:29 left in the secoughly and pay special attention to the following: ond half. “They are leaders on the ill tell us it’s okay) team.

That positive approach combined with character were key factors in the dramatic comeback. “It shows that we have a lot of heart and we are all great teammates,” said DeMilt. “We are all here to win and play for the love of lacrosse.” D eM i lt has d isplaye d heart in emerging as a top scoring threat for the Little Tigers this spring. “In the beginning I struggled with being in my head a lot,” said DeMilt. “When I got older, I just got more comfortable on the field and more comfortable with the girls I played with. I have grown as a player.” PHS head coach Sara Doran was happy to see the ball on DeMilt’s stick with the game on the line. “Kathryn is such a great player; she has an amazing shot,” said Doran. “I actually pulled her aside before the game and I said ‘this is your game, you can do this,’ because in the last couple of games she has been feeling a little frustrated. I have all the faith in the world in her, not knowing that she would be in that position to score the winning goal. She pulled through amazingly. She is an undervalued player sometimes on the team.” With the Little Tigers frustrated to be trailing at halftime, Doran looked to calm her players down. “We were only down by three at that point and it was really a mental game with the girls,” said Doran. “I said, ‘this is ours, this is our chance, it is one at

a time, we have plenty of time to do this.’ Sometimes when they are down, they feel panicky like they have to rush. We didn’t have to rush these goals, and that is what they did.” PHS also made tactical adjustments at both ends of the field. “Defensively, we needed to put more pressure on the feeders; we needed to take them out of their offense a little bit,” said Doran. “We were giving them too much time to set their offense up. We had to spread out on offense and create the openings. The more spread out you are on offense, it makes it harder for the defense to double- and triple-team. They did that beautifully in the second half. They stayed spread out, they were patient, they waited for the openings.” Doran credited LopezOna with opening things up for the Little Tigers down the stretch of the contest. “In the first half, I could tell she was a little flustered. Some of her shots weren’t coming through,” said Doran of the Michiganbound Lopez-Ona who ended up with with four goals and an assist in the win. “For her to be able to turn that around in the second half and play her game is a testament to the kind of player she is.” First-year junior goalie Grace Reardon came through as well, making five saves on the day, including a point-blank stop in the waning moments of the contest. “We have just seen her

improvement every game, and for her to have the game winning save at the end is very sweet,” said Doran, noting that Reardon has consulted with former PHS star goalie and current Michigan player Mira Shane. “Grace is a very tough mental player, she doesn’t let situations get to her, and that is proven by what she did at the end. A lot of goalies would be freaked out by that. She is very tough mentally and she pulled through for us there.” For Doran, who played for the PHS girls’ lax team that won a state championship in 1985, guiding the Little Tigers to a title meant a lot. “It is overwhelming; I am so, so proud of the girls because we have been working really hard and we have faced a lot of obstacles this season,” said Doran. “We started out with that 1-5 record and I am just so proud that they never let it get them down. We kept pushing and if you look at us over the season, we have really come to a place where we have confidence. We are playing as a team, we are trusting each other.” DeMilt, for her part, is proud of how PHS has peaked at the right time. “I think after our first couple games, we sat back and we used the next couple of games to work on it,” said DeMilt. “We went back to the drawing board and we f ig ured ever y t hing out. By the time of the tournaments, we were set and we were in sync.” —Bill Alden

With Phogat Prevailing at 3rd Singles, PDS Boys’ Tennis Pulls Out Prep B Title In the first day of the state Prep B boys’ tennis tournament last week, things went smoothly for Princeton Day School as it won nine of 10 matches and advanced players to the finals in four of the five flights of the competition. But in the final round, PDS struggled as it won only one match but that victory by freshman Aaron Phogat at third singles was enough to give the Panthers the outright title, its fifth Prep B crown in the last six years. PDS totaled 10 points in the competition to edge runner-up Rutgers Prep by one point. As Panther head coach Will Asch guided his players in the final round on May 22 at the Garden State Tennis Center in Edison, he got an uncomfortable sense of deja vu. “We sort of ran away with it on the first day; we had a

very good day,” said Asch, whose team saw a four-year Prep B title streak come to an end in 2017 when it finished second. “We had a very good day last year and we didn’t win it; we had a lot of bad luck between the first day and the second day. It seemed like we were going to have bad luck again.” T he bad r u n for PDS started when the first doubles pair of Aaron Chu and Riley Gudgel fell in straight sets in their final and then the second doubles team of Eric Leung and Will Sedgley got edged in a three-setter. At first singles, senior Lex Decker won the first set of his final but ended up losing in three sets. As a result, freshman Phogat needed to win at third singles for the Panthers to earn the outright title. “He came back from 5-3 in the second and he nearly

BACK ON TOP: Members of the Princeton Day School boys’ tennis team show off the trophies and medals they earned for winning the state Prep B title last week. PDS totaled 10 points in the competition to edge runner-up Rutgers Prep by one point in the team standings. It was the fifth Prep B crown for the Panthers in the last six years.

lost the first so it was not looking good for us,” said Asch of Phogat, who posted a 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 win over Joshua Song of Pennington. “I think he always believes he is going to win. The other player might have been a little more skillful, but Aaron has a very good forehand and he is mentally tough.” For PDS, competing in the Prep B tourney is a good benchmark for the program on an annual basis. “We don’t have a conference and we don’t have a realistic chance at the Mercer County Tournament,” said Asch. “This is our chance; it is the only thing that means anything. We don’t book teams for wins, we book them because we try to get teams that are challenging.” The Panthers boasted a trio of senior stalwarts in first singles star Decker, second singles standout Vivek Sharma, and first doubles player Gudgel, who were constantly up to the challenge over the last four years. “It is very important to have a first singles player; when Scott Altmeyer graduated, Lex took over that position and he has been very successful there,” said Asch. “Lex has got a very good record; it is only the top players that beat him. He is right in there and he has a lot of wins for us. Vivek has had some injury issues this year and he is a solid player, too. A lot of schools have good players at second singles. He made a lot of improvement; he went from being a doubles player to being second singles. That is a big step. Riley played all four years and has been very faithful, playing singles, doubles, and coming to every practice. It is going to be a big blow to the team to lose these guys.” Asch was happy to see those guys go out with a hard-earned title. “It is always nice to win; everybody likes to win,” said Asch. “It was not an easy win; it wasn’t always fun.” —Bill Alden

PHS Boys’ Tennis Falls to WW/P-S in State Final But Lilienthal Provides Highlight With Gutsy Rally For Princeton High boys’ tennis star Noah Lilienthal, it would have been understandable if he had thrown in the towel early in the second set as he faced Robert Siniakowicz of WW/P-South in the NJSI A A Group 3 state team final match last Wednesday. Having lost the first set 6-0 in the clash of first singles stars at Mercer County Park, Lilienthal jumped out to an early lead in the second set only to feel a twinge in his left shoulder. The match was stopped as Lilienthal, a lefty, was administered to by a trainer on the court for several minutes. Despite the discomfort, Lilienthal wasn’t about to quit. “It was a pretty sharp pain for a game; he put some tape on it so I think that probably helped,” said Lilienthal. “This really means a lot to me. I don’t have anything to lose so why not just try to go for it. It was hurting a bit but I kind of just forgot about it.” Forging ahead, Lilienthal pulled out the second set 6-4 and then the foes played a 10-point tiebreak to decide their showdown as the Pirates had already won the four other matches to clinch the team victory. With players from both teams lining the fence, Lilienthal proceeded to prevail 10-3 to earn a memorable win. “It was kind of a blur; I just looked over at my teammates and I smiled, I thought of everything as humorous and it worked for me,” said Lilienthal, who is headed to Wesleyan University where he will be competing for its men’s tennis team. “I was like ‘if they are going to cheer for Robert, it is going to be funny.’ I am never going to get to do this again, so I have got to love the moment. When I am older, I will remember having all of my teammates on the side and luckily I won. Even if I lost, I just wanted to have a good time.” Lilienthal certainly wasn’t having a good time in the early stages of the match as Brown commit Siniakowicz dominated the first set with his power game. “I knew he was just lights out in the first set, I told the coach (Sarah Hibbert) at every single changeover in that first set, I am just going to keep playing,” recalled Lilienthal. “If he keeps this up, good for him. He had the crowd there and all of his friends pumping him up. He had all of that good stuff going.” Winning the first game of the second set got Lilienthal going, notwithstanding the subsequent shoulder issue. “I was like, ‘I don’t want to lose 6-0, 6-0,’ I took it from there,” said Lilienthal. Looking ahead, Lilienthal is hoping to take that momentum into the state singles tournament, which starts this weekend. “I am not going to get to do it again, so I have got to make the most of it and enjoy the time on the court,” said Lilienthal. “I have got to expect to suffer a bit if I want to win. I have just got to take every point one at a time and enjoy being a Tiger.” PHS head coach Sarah

H ibb e r t e nj oye d s e e i n g her team start the day on Wednesday by edging perennial power Moorestown 3-2 in the Group 3 semis. “Moorestown is a historic powerhouse, we have a rivalry with them in the past,” said Hibbert. “It was really nice to win that semifinal and move on to the final. This whole season we haven’t been ranked in the top 20 and I knew that we were way better than people were giving us credit for. It was nice to come out and show that we deserve to be here and that we are one of the best teams in the state.” In the final against local rival WW/P-S, PHS fought valiantly but couldn’t overcome the top-ranked Pirates as second singles star Jerry Gu and third singles standout Kevin Yang each fell in straight sets against the Pirates as did the two Little Tiger doubles teams. “Unfortunately we ran into probably, at the moment, the best team in the state,” said Hibbert, who had to juggle her doubles lineup on the day due to an injury to first doubles player Richard Yang. “Having to change out doubles right before today didn’t help us out there. They all still competed hard, they fought hard despite not being in the positions they are used to. They are a tough team and our guys fought hard and we weren’t able to pull it out there, but they have had a great season. It is nice for Noah and Kevin as seniors to get back here … we were here when they were freshmen. It is a nice cyclical journey.”

Hibbert appreciated the toughness displayed by Lilienthal in his triumph. “Noah has been a rock for us this season, he and Robert have had some really good matches; it has gone back and forth all year,” said Hibbert. “He said I want to do this for the team, I am going to keep fighting. He just seemed to find an extra gear and then in that tiebreaker, he played some of the best tennis he has played. He really pulled it all together in the tie break.” Over the course of the spring, things came together for the Little Tigers as they produced some superb tennis. “It is a good group, they have worked really hard this year and have had good results,” added Hibbert, whose squad wrapped up the spring by defeating Hopewell Valley 4-1 in a regular season match last Thursday to end with a final record of 20-3. “They enjoy being out on the court together and it is ‘let’s do it.’ I wish we had one more win to finish up, but overall I am proud of the way we fought today. It didn’t turn out the way we wanted at the end but we wanted to prove that we are one of the top teams.” Lilienthal, for his part, who didn’t play for PHS last spring due to other commitments, enjoyed coming back for his senior campaign. “The number one thing that is amazing about this team is that we are able to take serious situations and make them funny,” said Lilienthal. “Things are going bad today and we have Ian Shang cracking jokes. Everyone has personality and that has helped give our team success.” —Bill Alden

Obituary

Joyce Whitehead Lathbury Joyce Whitehead Lathbury of New Hope, Pennsylvania, died at her home on Saturday, May 26, 2018, surrounded by her loving family. She was 76. Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Joyce was a longtime resident of Princeton, New Jersey, moving to New Hope, Pennsylvania in 2013. She was an accomplished psychiatric social worker specializing in couples and family therapy. Joyce graduated at the top of her class at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delaware and earned her bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania State University where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sororit y. She finished her academic studies at the University of California at Berkeley where she earned a Masters in Social Work. During her career, Joyce was committed to her profession and clients deeply, working for a range of national psychiatric and mental health institutions and with patients in private practice later in her career. Joyce was a lifelong tennis player and accomplished gardener. She was a member of the Master Gardeners of New Jersey and Stony Brook Garden Club for over 20 years. Joyce was a loving wife, mother, and grand-

mother and doted on her grandchildren. She enjoyed art, painting in watercolors, and drawing in pen and ink. She had a unique eye for understated elegance and beauty that was reflected in her home, her gardens, and her style. But most of all, Joyce is remembered for her kindness and care for others. She had a true sense of empathy, love, and commitment. She authentically felt the joy and pain of others and provided guidance and love without reservation. The daughter of the late Samuel and Mary Duff Whitehead, Joyce is survived by her husband of 31 years Vincent “Bill” Lathbury; her children Brian T. O’Leary and his wife Angela Mikula of High Bridge, N.J. and Erin O’Leary and her husband Tom Dickey of Lambertville; her two grandchildren; and her brother and his wife Neil and Ruth Whitehead of Cape May, N.J. Relatives and friends are invited to gather on Thursday, May 31, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Van Horn-McDonough Funeral Home, 21 York Street, Lambertville, NJ 08530 ( vhmf h.com ) . There will be a prayer service at 5 p.m. that evening. A memorial celebration to be held in the fall will be announced at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Joyce’s memor y may be made to Fisherman’s Mark, 37 S. Main Street, L amber t v ille, NJ 08530 (info @ fishermansmark.org) or to SAVE, 1010 Route 601, Skillman, NJ 08558 (save@savehomelessanimals.org).
