Council Looks Ahead, Prepares Next Step In Bike Lane Experiment

After reviewing the mostly positive public responses to last month’s Beta Bike Lane experiment, including 432 completed surveys, Princeton Council will consider an engineering study proposal from WSP, formerly Parsons Brinckerhoff Engineering and Design Firm.

Councilman Tim Quinn and Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton presented the results of the survey to the Council Monday night, and more than 20 members of the public weighed in with comments about their experiences during the period when the bike lanes along Wiggins Street and Hamilton Avenue were in use and their opinions about making the bike lanes permanent.

Though the responses were mostly positive, with many bikers feeling safer in bike lanes and pedestrians feeling safer with bicyclists off the sidewalks, the question of what to do about the need for parking remained unresolved. Thirty-six parking spaces were removed to make room for the bike lanes during the tenday period.

Councilman Lance Liverman emphasized the value of the bike lanes but expressed concern about the loss of parking. “Can we provide somewhere else where they can park?” he asked. “I agree we do need a bike lane, but I want to be respectful of people who would be losing parking.”

Though admitting that the sample size was small and the duration of the experiment was brief, Stockton reported that the number of bicyclists on the Wiggins-Hamilton half-mile stretch more than doubled.

According to the survey, before the experiment 44 percent of cyclists rode on the sidewalk, and 56 percent on the street, but with the bike lanes only 11 percent rode on the sidewalk and 89 percent in the bike lanes. Before the lanes were installed, 23 percent of bike riders said they felt safe, 61 percent unsafe, but with the bike lanes 69 percent said they felt safe as opposed to only 12 percent unsafe.

All in all, 49.5 percent said they loved the the bike lanes, 15 percent liked the lanes, and 23 percent of respondents said they did not like them.

Quinn noted that, in addition to winning the approval of bikers, the bike lanes were popular with many pedestrians, who Continued on Page 14

Schools, Community Look to Nov. Referendum

“It’s going to be a hotly debated item on the November ballot,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, commenting on the planned $129.6M Princeton Public Schools facilities bond referendum. The debate continues in various forums, public and private, throughout the Princeton community.

“I applaud the school district,” Lempert said at a Monday press conference.

“They’ve been out there in the community holding forums.” Declining to take sides, Lempert added, “The most important thing about this is that it’s going to be a community vote. There are challenging issues here. To not invest comes with a cost too. it’s an important process. I’m glad there’s a high level of community involvement.”

Councilman Tim Quinn also weighed in, not pro or con on the question, but supporting the process as “democracy in its purest form, a straight up-and-down vote.”

The Princeton Board of Education at its July 17 meeting voted to separate the referendum into two questions for voters on November 6.

The first question authorizes $82.5M to fund a new 5/6 school at Valley Road; four additional classrooms at Princeton High School (PHS); safety measures and security upgrades at all district schools;

HVAC upgrades; the purchase of 15 acres and two existing office buildings at Thanet Circle for administration, maintenance, and transportation employees currently at Valley Road; and upgraded athletic facilities.

The second question authorizes $47M more for creation of additional capacity at PHS through transformation of three interior courtyards, renovations of existing space at PHS, and addition of turf to an athletic field. The second question cannot pass unless the first question passes.

Last Saturday morning about 35 residents with a wide range of concerns and questions came to the Community Room of the Princeton Public Library for a twohour Q&A session on the referendum with PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane and project architect Scott Downie.

Not surprisingly, many concerns focused on the financial implications of the referendum and its impact on property taxes. A number of speakers sought further explanation and clarification of Continued on Page 14

Princeton AlumniCorps Gets Grant To Restore Historic Headquarters Princeton prizes its buildings designed by 19th-century architect, carpenter, and developer Charles Steadman. Thanks to a recent historic preservation grant, the Steadman-built house at 12 Stockton Street is about to receive some TLC. Princeton AlumniCorps, which is headquartered in the building, has received $15,000 from The 1772 Foundation, which partnered with the New Jersey Historic Trust to distribute $293,786 this year to 12 organizations. Princeton AlumniCorps, which purchased the building 18 years ago, received the maximum grant amount, designated for repair and resto-

ration of its exterior.

“Our very generous donors set up a fund when we moved here, which has allowed us to maintain necessities,” said Kef Kasdin, Princeton AlumniCorps president and executive director. “But there are certain things that are beyond necessities, and this grant is helpful for that.”

Work on the building will include repair and painting of the trim, and upgrading of the driveway. “A lot of tours go by here, so it’s important that we look our best,” said Kasdin, who has led the organization since last summer. “This will make a difference.”

Program on Sea Otters At D&R Greenway

D&R Greenway Land Trust, the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, and Princeton Photography Club present “The Sea Otter Survival Story: A Human Obstacle Course” on Thursday, August 16, at D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, Princeton.

Environmental author and marine wildlife photographer Kim Steinhardt will present a photographic journey into the secret lives of sea otters, with an update on current litigation that reveals as much about humans as it does about the behaviors and antics of these threatened creatures.

Steinhardt first became interested in sea otters as a child, growing up in the San Francisco Bay area. “I

was smitten from the very beginning,” he says. “They were so rare. They are such beautiful creatures, and even though I didn’t know about their history at the time, I was aware that we had done something to bring them close to extinction.

“Sea otters play an important role in our oceans,” Steinhardt continues. “What we see happening with sea otters tells us a lot about what’s going on about the health of the environment and can foreshadow what’s going to happen to humans.”

Part art, part science, part law, this program gives a better understanding of how our efforts to “manage” nature can sometimes backfire, and how we can work together to solve increasingly complex challenges to our ecosystems. Hanging in the balance is the survival of

the remaining 3,200 southern sea otters — and the Endangered Species Act itself.

Steinhardt is co-author of The Edge: The Pressured Past and Precarious Future of California’s Coast.

His photographic work and storytelling has also been recognized by National Geographic Books, among others, where he has served as an advisor and photo contributor regarding sea otters for the Explore My World series. He is a former California administrative law judge and longtime conservationist, and leads natural and cultural history walks along the beaches and estuaries near his home on the Monterey Bay. “The impact of human interactions with the Earth is constantly changing our environment,” says D&R Greenway President and CEO

The Coalition for Peace Action will hold a Hiroshima/Nagasaki Commemoration on Sunday, August 5 at Hinds Plaza outside Princeton Public Library. A bring-your-own picnic is at 6 p.m., followed by a program at 7 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public. Guests will hear from Alex Wellerstein, a historian of nuclear weapons from Stevens Institute of Technology. David Steinberg, who was nominated for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize, will read poetry. There will also be a performance by the Solidarity Singers.

A companion event will be held Monday, August 6 at 5:30 p.m. at the corner of State and Main streets in Doylestown, Pa. In 1945, an American bomber dropped the world’s first atom bomb over the city of Hiroshima. Three days later, the U.S. dropped a second bomb on the city of Nagasaki. The two bombs together killed somewhere between 150,000 and 230,000 people.

Mary Moss Playground Renovation Gets Pre-Opening Finishing Touches

Counting on the weather to cooperate, Princeton is planning an official ribboncutting ceremony for the renovated Mary Moss Playground on Wednesday, August 8 at 11 a.m. The park named for the late Mary Moss, who worked at a lo-

cal nursery school and was an important figure in the Witherspoon-Jackson community, is at John and Lytle streets.

“We’re very pleased with it. We hope the community feels the same way,” said Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton. Work started on the $700,000 project in April. The small wading pool on the upper tier was removed, replaced by a sprayground with 14 spray features. Other improvements include new playground equipment, a covered pavilion with picnic tables, new landscaping and added trees, a stone boulder embankment with slides, new benches, bike racks, a drinking fountain, and other amenities.

The renovation was the subject of much discussion a mong m emb er s of t he Witherspoon-Jackson communit y before Princeton Council voted unanimously to approve a renovation plan in June 2016. Built in 1946, the park was, for some time, the only place African American children could play.

Longtime resident Leighton Newlin was one of those to have reservations about the proposal when it was being discussed. But he has come around.

“I am elated that Princeton’s 20th historic district will have the newly-designed Mary Moss Playground as its centerpiece,” he said in an email this week. “Because Ms. Moss’s greatest impact on the P community was rootLUS: ed in her love and nurturing of young children, it is fitting that the playground named in her honor will welcome a new generation of young people in Princeton’s most diverse and eclectic neighborhood.”

Newlin played in the park as a youngster. “It promises to be a haven where people can sit quietly on a bench and daydream about being young again and give thought about how happy they were being at the pool under the watchful eye of Ms. Moss and others. I actually have a tear in my eye thinking about it,” he said.

“My prayer is that the playground will be as nurturing

for the children now as it was generations ago.”

B en Stent z, execut ive director of Princeton’s Department of Recreation, said the biggest challenge of the project was making sure its history was respected while modern improvements were made. “It was important for us to build consensus in the community, with all of the stakeholders, especially the people who live in the community and will be the primary users of the space,” he said. “Because it has a long history, folks had a lot of passion about it. And I always took that to be a good thing.”

enlarged after the town was able to acquire the property next door. One house on that property was torn down, and Habitat for Humanity is proposing two affordable housing units for the remaining lot. Stentz said the sprayground is on the upper level, where the pool was located, and the new playground equipment is on the lower level, where it was previously located.

“We’ve kept that framework,” he said. “It is a little bit wider, though.”

The space was not enough to allow for a major expansion. “But it is a better layout, with a lot of new plantings that I think will be well received,” he said. “The six new trees we’ve added are still young, but in time they will create some nice, shaded areas.”

The comments Stentz has heard so far have been positive. “I grew up here, I know a lot of folks. People have texted me, or just told me that they are happy to see the construction underway,” he said. “Now it’s at the 10 yard line, and we’re pushing it over the goal line.”

The idea is to provide a neighb orhoo d gat her ing place for residents and their children and grandchildren.

“The playground equipment is specifically designed for the 2- to 5-year-old age range,” said Stockon. “But the park is really meant for everyone, from infants to 100 years old.”

New Dialing Procedures For Local Phone Calls

Mercer County reminds residents that starting August 18, callers will have to dial the area code plus telephone numbers for calls within the 609 area code region. This means that all calls within the 609 area code that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using 10 digits: the area code + telephone number.

The same dialing procedure will apply to telephone numbers assigned to the new 640 area code from which new telephone lines or services in the 609 area may be given numbers beginning September 17. In addition, calls made from the 609 area code to the 856 area code (southwestern New Jersey) that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using 1 + area code + telephone number.

Question of the Week: “What does the Special Olympics mean to you, and what’s your favorite sport?”

(Asked Friday at the Special Olympics New Jersey Sports Complex in Lawrenceville) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

“For me, it’s the camaraderie and the acceptance that I can be who I am. I am given the opportunity to learn new things. Everyone here is so supportive and gives us all the opportunities that we could ever need to succeed and to be active people in our community. I do three sports: bowling, bocce, and golf. Golf is probably my favorite.”

—Colleen Ciecura, vice-chair, Athlete Congress, SONJ, Lakewood

“My favorite sport is bocce, which I competed in for team New Jersey at the Summer Olympics in Seattle. I got fifth and a bronze medal for that competition. Special Olympics is very good because of the teamwork and being able to compete at our best. Special Olympics is a great, great place to unify people in the world of sports.”

—Adam Eng, Lyndhurst

Melissa: “It gives my daughter more things to do that are fun.

She spends a lot of time at physical and speech therapy. Now she can come here and enjoy friends and learn and grow. It’s a wonderful place for everyone.”

Victoria: “I like tennis, and I like the strider bike. I love my coaches here.”

Alexa: “Special Olympics means a lot to me. I make many new friends all the time, and have fun with them. We learn new things all the time, but my favorite sport is power lifting!”

Robert: “Before I joined Special Olympics, I was kind of quiet and would always sit in the back of my classroom. Once I joined Special Olympics and became part of the Athletes Congress, I broke out of my shell, and now people can’t shut me up. Floor hockey is one of my favorites, but I enjoy all of the team sports I play because I like to work with other people toward trying to accomplish a goal.”

Steve: “Special Olympics means a great deal to me, because before I started Special Olympics, I was very quiet and shy and didn’t interact with a lot of people. But ever since I joined, it’s opened up my shell. I really enjoy it because I enjoy being around people and interacting. Floor hockey is my favorite sport to play, but I also play flag football and tennis. I am currently chairperson of Athletes Congress and president of the Lion’s Club Special Olympics Chapter.”

Enforcement of Ordinances Questioned

By Residents at Council Meeting Princeton’s enforcement of ordinances related to the treatment of trees during teardown and construction projects was challenged by some area residents at the Monday, July 23 meeting of Princeton Council. Hawthorne Avenue resident Galina Chernaya, who has been involved in a

dispute over trees with RB Homes since the developer began dismantling the property it owns next door to her, told Council that the town is remiss in its handling of protective ordinances.

Chernaya cited “serious and very clear gaps that exist in the engineering department

process for approval of the demolition and construction permits as well as monitoring construction sites,” she said.

She claimed that Council is ignoring the issue, “which is damaging to neighborhoods.

Princeton neighborhoods are under assault by developers.”

Mayor Liz Lempert responded that the town’s Neighborhood Character Study is working to address the situation. “We did pass a series of ordinance changes and are planning on another series of ordinance changes to help,” she said, adding that it has to be done indirectly since state law does not allow the prevention of teardowns themselves.

“So our approach has been to change the ordinances in terms of what you can build as new construction in its place, hopefully encouraging renovation. Often we are governed by what the state allows us to do. We can’t do something effective if we don’t know what the rules are and how we can act in those parameters.”

Another area resident asked if there is any tracking of violations. Lempert said the process is like any other violation, where a citation is given and the person in violation needs to appear in court. RB Homes has been given one violation, Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield said.

Lempert said public meetings related to the Neighborhood Character Study have taken place and are continuing. Ordinances that have been drafted are currently being reviewed by the town’s attorneys, she added. “It is fairly comprehensive and we are doing our best to get community involvement.”

Another speaker told Council that because of teardowns like the one on Hawthorne Avenue, “we’re not only going astray, but we’re going contrary to a lot of the important values we’ve espoused, because we’re not living them.”

She said the problem is not limited to one property, one

builder, or one issue. Flooding is another situation that has arisen from builders putting large houses on small lots, she said.

Princeton’s Shade Tree Commission was scheduled to discuss the tree issue at its meeting on Tuesday. Lempert encouraged those concerned to attend upcoming public hearings and meetings that will be held on that topic.

The Excellence in Summer Learning Award and Fou nder’s Award recog nizes outstanding summer programs that demonstrate excellence in accelerating academic achievement and promoting healthy development for low-income children and youth between pre-kindergarten and 12th grade.

Winning programs demonstrate exemplary practices in overall programming, including professional development for program staff and collaboration with community partners in fulfilling shared goals for student and family engagement.

The Princeton-Blairstown Center helps children in high poverty situations have healthy, engaging ways to maintain learning during the summer months, while school is not in session.

“Creating opportunities for summer learning sets the stage for innovation, creativity, and leadership in every community: the young people we nurture today are the foundation of our society tomorrow,” reads the organization’s website.

FUNDING ESL: Immigrant students are honing their spoken and written English skills at YWCA Princeton’s Latinas Unidas’s English as a Second Language (ESL) program, for which the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has provided $9,000. The local grant is part of more than $8.3 million awarded to more than 1,000 schools, nonprofits, and organizations across the country.

SCOURING THE SOURLANDS: A new hiking atlas of the Sourland region is now available. The book has relief maps, descriptions, history, geology, flora, fauna, and more, of the 90-square-mile region.

Kasdin, whose daughter Izz y Kasdin is executive director of the Historical Society of Princeton, said the building was built as a residence. “Then it was a boarding house for awhile, in the 1940s and 50s, according to some old articles we found,” she said. “Then it got rezoned for business use. It was used for the mayor’s office at one point.

And the former Borough used it while Borough Hall was being renovated.”

Steadman’s style incorporated Federal and Greek Revival elements. The house at 12 Stockton Street is in the landmarked Princeton Historic District and dates back to 1824. It is one of approximately 40 Steadman properties still standing in town. Others include Miller Chapel at Princeton Theological Seminary; 72 Library Place, once home to Woodrow Wilson ; and buildings on Alexander and Mercer streets.

Princeton AlumniCorps is “a multi-generational network of Princeton University alumni and nonprofits working to build communities and deepen social impact,” according to its website. The organization uses 12 Stockton Street for office space and programs.

A staff of nine works in the building, which is also home to the organization Volunteer Connect.

Kasdin said the organization hopes to raise additional funding to make its entrance and bathrooms ADA-compliant, and to upgrade the kitchen and conference room. “We want to bring it into the 21st century. We want to be able to use video conferencing equipment that we’ve gotten, which will expand our ability to do what we do,” she said, referring to a previous grant from The Hyde a nd Wat s on Fou ndat ion designated for that purpose.

The grant from The 1772 Foundation is part of a series of steps to upgrade the historic building. “We have a g rand v ision,” Kas din said. “What we want is to make this a real community resource. This grant is a piece of that.”

The Watershed Institute (formerly the Stony BrookMillstone Watershed As sociation ) in Pennington also received $15,000 to restore the Andrew Drake Farmstead house on the property.

Corner House Foundation To Honor Lance Liverman

Celebrating Excellence In Education The Board of Education for PPS has been working diligently to develop a facilities referendum that addresses the safety, security, health, and learning needs of our growing student population while also being sensitive to the tax impact on our commu-

nity. After listening to feedback from many different constituents, the Board voted at its meeting on July 17, 2018 to separate the referendum of $129.6 million into two ballot questions for voters.

Dividing the referendum into two questions provides our community with choices. Please read below for an explanation of those choices and the tax impact associated with them. Please note as well that the vote on the referendum will now be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

Question 1 would authorize the district to issue $82,528,490 in bonds to fund:

• A 5/6 school at Valley Road that will eliminate overcrowding at John Witherspoon Middle School and all the elementary schools.

• Four additional classrooms at PHS, as well as renovations to the guidance area.

• Safety measures at all our schools, including welcoming and secure entrances and security upgrades to doors, hardware, and glass.

• HVAC upgrades, including replacing aging heat and air conditioning units with more cost- and energy-efficient models; adding air conditioning to rooms currently not air-conditioned, including classrooms, cafeterias, multi-purpose rooms, and the PHS gymnasium.

• The purchase of 15 acres and two existing office buildings at Thanet Circle to house the employees, buses, and equipment currently at the Valley Road site where the 5/6 school will be constructed. This property also provides future options to add athletic fields or expand the preschool program.

• Upgraded athletic facilities, including turf for the Valley Road field; the construction of a small building near the PHS athletic fields for bathrooms, concession, and storage; a partial second floor in the PHS fitness center to provide space for wrestling, fencing, and other activities.

Question 2 would authorize the district to issue $47,086,435 in bonds to fund:

• The creation of additional capacity at PHS by turning the three interior courtyards into usable, light-filled learning space for 22 small and 20 large classrooms and a media center that connects to the other learning spaces throughout the building.

• Renovations of existing spaces at PHS, including science rooms, cafeteria spaces and locker rooms; • Addition of turf to the field currently used for field hockey and lacrosse.

Question 2 can only pass if Question 1 also passes.

How will the referendum impact property taxes?

Homeowners can calculate the impact of the referendum on their household by using the numbers listed in the charts below.

For example, for a home assessed at $500,000, the estimated additional property tax in 2020 would be $34.56 x 5, or $172.80, if both Question 1 and Question 2 pass.

Estimated annual additional costs to taxpayers compared to 2018 tax rates per every $100,000 of assessed home value: Question 1:

2020: $31.64

2021: $41.20 (additional $9.56 from 2020)

2022: $60.40 (additional $19.20 from 2021) 2023: - $3.81 ($64.21 less than 2022) Question 1 & 2: 2020: $34.56

2021: $44.47 (additional $9.91 from 2020)

2022: $89.53 (additional $45.06 from 2021)

These numbers are preliminary estimates and will be revised prior to referendum after the State confirms the amount of con-

struction grants that the district will receive. The final costs for the referendum also will depend on interest rates at the time the

bonds are issued.

The district’s current debt service will retire in 2023, so the district’s old and new debt will overlap for several years, causing costs to be higher initially. Over the life of the bonds, the estimated additional annual tax impact will eventually fall to rates that are less than what homeowners are currently paying.

Please visit the Princeton Public Schools website to learn more about the referendum and explore our Frequently Asked Ques-

tions: www.princetonk12.org/district/about_us/facilities_referendum/. Also, please note we will be sponsoring additional information sessions about the referendum, including one facilitated by Phoenix Financial Advisors who will explain the details of the tax impact.

Princeton places the highest value on quality and cost-effective education for its children. We are committed to a facilities referendum that does the same.

The Corner House Foundation w ill honor L ance Liverman with the annual Marie L. Matthews Award for Community Service, the foundation has announced.

Liverman is a Princeton councilman and has been the liaison for Corner House for over 15 years.

Gary De Blasio, executive director of Corner House Behavioral Health, said, “Lance has been a dedicated supporter of the prevention and treatment services Corner House Behavioral Health provides to community members in need of assistance. We are excited to honor Lance as he has been extremely supportive of all our efforts over the years.

We are proud to honor him

with the 2019 Marie L. Matthews Award.”

The annual award was created in honor of the late Marie L. Matthews, who was extraordinarily generous with her time, energy, and resources in support of Corner House Behavioral Health ’s prevention and treatment programs.

Liverman will receive the award at the Corner House Foundation’s Spring Benefit on May 3, 2019 at the Boathouse on Mercer Lake in West Windsor. He has been a Princeton councilman for the last 15 years.

His Council assignments include Corner House Board, Affordable Housing Board, Housing Authority, Municipal Personnel Committee, Princeton Alcohol and Drug Alliance, and Public Safety Committee (Fire Commissioner).

Liverman was also a member of the Shared Services and Consolidation Commission that worked to merge Princeton Tow nship and Princeton Borough. In addition, he is chairman of the board of trustees at the First Baptist Church of Princeton.

His upbeat personality and devotion to his hometown have made him a popular public servant. With that, the Corner House Foundation has created The Lance Liverman Scholarship for Community Service.

Carrier Clinic to Host Walk of Hope, Awareness

Carrier Clinic will host its annual Walk of Hope and Awareness on Saturday, September 15, in support of the many programs at its Belle Mead campus to battle mental illness and drug addiction. The public is invited to take part.

“Carrier’s Walk of Hope and Awareness has been responsible for raising tens of thousands of dollars to fund key therapies that assist at-risk patients from New Jersey and beyond,” said Don Parker, president and CEO of Carrier Clinic.

“And our mission has never been more important than it is today, given the increasing suicide rates around our nation and the scourge of opioid drugs that are tearing apart families. Please walk to aid Carrier in this important cause.”

All In A DAy’s Work

Susan Conlon, PPL Youth Services Head; “There Are So Many Things Happening Here”

From her first day of work at the Princeton Public Library ( PPL) 19 years ago in July 1999, Susan Conlon realized she was in the right place. “I knew this was the place where I wanted to work. It’s hopping. There are so many things happening here.”

A “day’s work” for Conlon? Impossible to predict.

“No day is ever the same as any other day,” she said.

“It’s exciting and dynamic.”

And with Conlon now leading the Department of Youth Services with a staff of 12, there’s more going on than ever before in her third floor realm.

“One of my favorite things about working with Susan is how supportive she is when it comes to cultivating creativit y within her staff,” said Youth Services Librarian Katie Bruce. “No idea is too crazy or off-the-wall, and she loves to discuss and brainstorm with you until the idea is even bigger and better than you could have ever imagined.”

Bruce cited last week’s Princeton Student Film Festival, founded by Conlon in 2003, and the Princeton Environmental Film Festival, which Conlon initiated in 2007, as two examples of long-running annual events that continue to grow under Conlon’s guidance.

Eager to credit her colleagues, Conlon insists, “I really want to emphasize that this is not about one person. There are so many people here excited to come to work every day, and they have fantastic ideas. The Yo u t h S e r v i c e s d e p a r tment is the top — excellent, friendly, and kind. They are committed to parents and kids.”

She continued, “We all work well together. It’s so collaborative, and everybody is conscientious. We all love the work. We love the library. We love the community. And another thing, everybody is so creative. Work here is a creative process, every step of it, from the programming to the staffing to the story times to the visual component of what you see here, the layout of the space and the displays.”

Describing the library as a favorite place of so many different people in Princeton and beyond, Conlon added, “It’s not an accident. There’s a continuing vision here.

People are really committed to seeing this place succeed.

There is a place for everyone here. There are no barriers.”

Conlon emphasized the accessibility of the library and described its commitment to children, supporting them and their interests and at the same time fostering their independence. Every child known, she said, is more than just a slogan. “In a community the idea that every child feels known is important.” “Kids can come here and people know their names. People say ‘Hi’ to them by name.”

The third floor with its welcoming attitude, “no expectation of silence,” and many different, flexible areas conducive to various activities includes a teen center, a storytelling room,

a new ST E A M ( science, technolog y, engineering, arts, math) Center, play areas, and a nursing room for moms.

It also contains Conlon’s small office and desk, but she is not a librarian who will be often found behind a desk. There’s too much going on elsewhere. “The idea that we sit behind a desk is not true,” she said. “We’re always running around.”

“Every day here we have so many exchanges with kids. There is an ongoing oppor tunit y for them to learn how to talk to adults, to learn how to be polite, to learn how to trust adults.

We always remind them that we’re here for them.

Kids just want to be treated fairly.”

Her Own Youth With Books, Then Computers Conlon grew up in Pennsylvania, and her family moved to New Jersey when she was star ting middle school. “From the time I was a very young child, I loved going to the library,” she said. “My father used to take me on Saturday mornings. I loved books. I’m the youngest of four, so there were always a lot of books in the house, but as much as I loved libraries, I couldn’t see myself working in a library.

I didn’t see myself meeting that expectation of silence.”

She explained how libraries then were different from libraries now, how a shift took place in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and how that shift helped to encourage her interest in her future career. “I not only loved books, but I was also an information hound,” she said.

“Even as a kid I loved almanacs, baseball statistics, and finding out information.”

She recalls buying her first computer in college in the 1980s, and adds, “Computers have been a part of my life for a long time.”

Conlon lives in West Windsor with her husband Joe, who is a videographer with his own video production company. Their three adult children all live and work in the New York City area.

Patterns of Activity Despite the unpredictability of life in the PPL, Conlon described some “patterns to the days, a rhythm we can anticipate.”

Parents with young children and babies seem to predominate in the mornings, with numerous storytime opportunities for different age groups and in different languages throughout the week. There are also baby playgroup times and ample space and opportunity for parents to read to their children or play with them.

“When you come here in the mornings, there’s often a line of strollers, and many babies crawling around,” Conlon noted.

From September to June, there are “the really robust after-school hours” when the Teen Center and other areas are full of school children, but summer is sometimes even busier — “a whole different thing,” she noted.

The PPL Summer Reading Program requires many hours of planning, with the

creation of colorful displays and numerous extensive book lists. “This year we broke our record for summer reading,” Conlon said, “More than 1,600 teens registered and are participating.”

Outreach programs are a vital part of the work of PPL Youth Services, with staff members visiting nursery schools, all the Princeton Public School elementary schools, and twice a year making presentations for each grade at John Withe r s p o o n M i d d l e S c h o ol (J WMS ). The J WMS and kindergarten classes also came to visit the library this year.

Among other programs Conlon highlighted were the Teen Advisory Board, with its “I Read This Book” event; The Children’s Book Festival coming up on September 22 this year, in partnership with JaZams; and the Chess Program.

“I have boundless energy,” Conlon said. “We have to do a lot. There’s so much potential. I feel there’s always more we can do — new and exciting things.”

What lies ahead for Conlon and PPL Youth Services is difficult to predict. “I’m also excited about things we can add to the young children’s section to make it even more fun and engaging and stimulating in a way that really promotes learning and exploring,” she said. “I feel like there’s no limit to that.

This isn’t a project that has an end to it.”

She added, “People really love this library. They really appreciate it. It’s great to be here.”

Lack of Information Sent by Board Suggests Referendum Should Be Held on Election Day

To the Editor: I am puzzled.

Over the past few months numerous letters have been published pro and con about the school construction referendum. However, there has been little information sent by the Board of Education to homeowners or advertisements about open public discussions of the issue.

This is an important and expensive project that requires a greater understanding of pros and cons. Not for the few but for the many.

How much better it would be if the referendum was scheduled on the General Election Day. Turnout would be higher and taxpayers would save additional costs.

Older Couple “Gravely Concerned” About Increase to “Astronomical Property Taxes”

To the Editor: Unsurprisingly, there appear to be two basic factions that have formed in regards to the school referendum issue. Those in favor are a decidedly younger set, presently raising children. And those against are a generally older crowd, invariably without children. The reasons for these positions are obvious and understandable. The former want nothing but the very best for their offspring and their hopeful future. The latter are seriously worried about their own future and their ability to hold on to their homes.

As the oldest of eight children, I understand the outlook of the former. Now, being older, and never having had any children of my own, I am decidedly with the latter faction. My wife grew up in the house that we own and live in, and she wants to spend her remaining days here. She and I are gravely concerned about any further increase to our already astronomical property taxes, which we are very hard-pressed to pay as they are now. Since we both free-lance (a musician and a historian respectively), you can guess what sorts of resources we have to rely on (the dwindling, shrinking kind).

Something which would certainly help the referendum pass would be to institute an allowance or dispensation for those without children (especially those who have never had children), or maybe property taxes based on a small

percentage of the actual income of the childless home owner. In a time when people are struggling to hold on to what they have (their homes, their dignity, their health) is it really fair to force those without children to pay for very high-end school improvements and renovations, when they, in turn, are forced to defer crucial expenses, or even urgent medical issues, in their own lives?

Consider for a moment if the referendum included basic healthcare coverage, especially for the childless homeowners that are going to be forced to pay for these upgrades.

(Bear in mind that in Europe everyone has both free medical care and free schooling through college.) Not really that unreasonable if you consider what is being asked (or more to point, what will be mandatory — that is, finding the extra funds to be able to remain in one’s home — if the referendum passes).

Let those who have children choose to pay for the very best while not unduly burdening those who are childless and already struggling financially. Institute an allowance or dispensation for them and you’ll pass your referendum.

Great Towns Build Great Schools: PHS Will Not Continue to Be Great Without Improved Facilities

To the Editor: I am writing this letter to ask the Princeton community to join me in supporting the upcoming school facilities referendum. My family moved to Princeton 15 years ago, in part due to the wonderful reputation of the schools. A product of public schools myself, it was important to me to raise my kids in a community that values public education.

I consider my four kids lucky to be able to attend the fine schools that Princeton has to offer. At the same time, I am embarrassed by the appalling conditions at Princeton High School.

For those of you who think the district’s plan is extravagant and unnecessary, please open your eyes to the reality that our high school children face on a daily basis.

• Lunch for over half of the students is typically picnic style on the hallway floors due to an undersized cafeteria and lack of other common spaces where eating at a table might be an option.

• Exams in the old gym entail 80-90 degree indoor temperatures due to lack of air conditioning, with children falling ill due to heat and hospitalized due to mold. Imagine taking critical exams in these conditions.

• Brown liquid oozing from the ceiling of your classroom into a bucket that remains on the floor for months.

• Classes filled to the point where there are not enough desks for the enrolled students, with some having to perch on the ledges by the windows or on the radiators.

• Crowded hallways packed with students keeping you and your teacher from getting from one part of the building to another in time for the bell.

If you choose to dismiss this as an exaggeration, I invite you to take the time to visit the school yourself.

Improving high school facilities is not an option in my opinion. Voting “yes” to both referendum questions is imperative. We must do what is right for the wellness of our kids. Great towns build great schools. Princeton High School will not continue to be great without improved facilities.

PPS Board Has Not Estimated Impact of $130 Million Referendum on “Real Taxes”

To the Editor: The PPS Referendum is the Tip of the Iceberg. The PPS BOE has not estimated the impact of the $130 Million Referendum on our real taxes.

The PPS Operating Budget (OB) is $100 million, increasing by 2 percent to 3.9 percent annually. A new 5/6 school will add “about $2.5 million for personnel,” said Superintendent Cochrane. It will have operating/maintenance costs similar to JW, let’s say $1 million total $3.5 million.

Moving 520 5th and 6th graders to a 5/6 school requires new bus routes; plus $500,000 for transportation, total $4 million. Unknown energy and maintenance changes at all schools, add $1 million (you have to budget), total $5 million. This does not even consider the costs associated with the new admin buildings, turf fields, and sports facilities, $2 million? $4 million, Total $7-9 million.

Assume a $6 million annual referendum payment incurs a $700/yr tax increase on the “average” home. A $9 million annual Operating Budget increase imposes another $1,000 increase, for a total of $1,700/year, the first year.

An increase of $9 million to the Operating Budget; nearly 10 percent the first year, but it will be 13.5 percent above current budget the second year, 18 percent higher the third year, and 22 percent higher the fourth year. Splitting the referendum doesn’t change this fact.

I ask the PPS BOE to estimate the impact of the $130 Million Referendum on the PPS Operating Budget for five years to reveal the iceberg.

If you rent in Princeton, your rent will increase. Rents of $2,000-$4,000 will increase $100-$200/mo. Low income and fixed income residents will be forced to leave town.

Former PU Graduate Student Weighs In On the “Overcrowding” of Dillon Gym

To the Editor: As a former graduate student of Princeton University and a frequent swimmer in Dillon Gym, I too wish to add a few words to Anne Levin’s article on the same subject [Town Topics, June 20, page one]. My thoughts parallel additional Letters to the Editor. Of those, perhaps that of Brian Philippi follows mine most closely.

For the next months until January 1, as I join swimmers whom I’ve known for the past 20 years while swimming in Dillon Pool, I will be ashamed to admit that I am one of the privileged to continue benefiting from services open only to those members of the public previously associated with the University.

Using “overcrowding” as a cardinal reason for denying other local residents is at best ridiculous. But it does happen, every summer, when children of various ages join camps to enjoy and crowd the shallow end of the pool. Isn’t that what Princeton University is about? The community’s best friend and neighbor? There is no difference between these young paying customers and the long-term senior pool users. Will the University also cancel these and other important services to the residents, as our taxes increase to sustain the community, fully cognizant of the institution’s available funding.

As suggested by previous contributors to the paper, at the very least the University should allow all grandfathered members to continue their membership until such time that the directors sitting in their lofty towers can figure out how to embrace our community in the way it deserves.

Morven Museum & Garden Enjoys Annual Jubilee With 2,000 Visitors

To the Editor: Morven Museum & Garden was delighted to once again be the favorite Fourth of July afternoon entertainment for so many of our local friends and families at our annual Jubilee. Thank you to the 2,000 friends and neighbors who joined us on this special day at the home of Richard Stockton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, with traditional favorite activities returning including varied colonial re-enactors, George Washington’s presentation as depicted by William Agress, signing of the Declaration of Independence, and bluegrass music on the porch by Ocean Country Band.

A few features debuted this year: reenactment of Morven’s own Annis Boudinot Stockton by Princeton teacher Alisa Dupuy; an interactive chalkboard wall art “Liberty is…” which had many thinking and exploring this ageless topic; a children’s parade to the “Happy Birthday, America”; and cakes generously donated by McCaffrey’s.

Unfortunately, Tico’s Juices was unable to attend, as advertised, due to mechanical troubles and our advertised blacksmith reenactor had health issues preventing his appearance. We apologize to anyone who was disappointed not to enjoy these two participants and wish good health to the blacksmith.

Plans are already underway to create another memorable Fourth of July Jubilee. In two short months, Morven reopens its first floor galleries to present “Morven: A Window Into America’s Past.” We look forward to greeting our friends and families, again, during the very exciting weekend of September 6 through 9.

JILL BARRY Executive Director

Holding Shakespeare’s Mirror to the Light in a Dark Time Shakespeare will go on explaining us, in part because he invented us.

—Harold Bloom or relief from the post-Helsinki reality of July 2018, a time of chronic stress leading to sleepless nights and a condition that for lack of a better word could be called trumpache, I recommend 600 mgs of Shakespeare at bedtime. Love’s Labor’s Lost has done wonders for me; no more ringing in the ears from the blowhard echo of the Montana Trump rally where the Philistine-inChief heaped scorn on “a thousand points of light,” his predecessor George H.W. Bush’s ghostwritten metaphor for public service, possibly the only piece of poetry ever associated with the 41st president.

To relieve the bad taste left by the purveyor of “sound and fury signifying nothing,” I took a dram of Shakespeare’s “Light seeking light doth light of light beguile:/So, ere you find where light in darkness lies,/Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.” No need to decipher it, you’d be up all night. Anyway, who reads the fine print on prescriptions?

The line goes down smoothly, just say it to yourself, savor it, swallow it, close your eyes, and you’re on your way from darkest Montana to a dream of Navarre.

Who needs to count sheep as long as light beguiles light?

Shakespeare is always relevant to the nuances of life, positive or negative, crooked or straight, whether it’s 1968, 1868, or 2018 or 2228. When Hamlet tells the players to “hold, as t’were, the mirror up to nature, to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure,” the mirror is Shakespeare.

“Some Certain Treason” Say you’re reading Love’s Labor’s Lost as Trump dissembles his way through the Helsinki blowback and chants his Johnny One Note mantra about witch-hunts, hoaxes, and fake news. Behold, here’s Shakespeare stressing words that resonate with the news of the day, words like Russia, Muscovite, treason, and perjury, as happens when the King of Navarre and his lords become traitors to a joint vow to study, fast, and swear off female company for three years. When a love note to Rosaline, one of the Princess of France’s ladies, is intercepted, the clown carrying the message calls it “Some certain treason.” Trying to trick the women, the four smitten males appear before them disguised in “Russian habits,” but the ladies have been forewarned and mock the besotted ones mercilessly when they’re caught out: “Help, hold his brows! he’ll swoon! Why look you pale?/Sea-sick, I think, coming from Muscovy.” To which the stricken suitor exclaims, “Thus pour the stars down plagues for perjury!” If you’ve been watching the Trump and Putin show or following the Mueller investigation, the association of subterfuge with

F

Russian habits, Muscovites, and Muscovy definitely gets your attention.

The suitor in question is Biron, a lord attending on the King of Navarre and of all the play’s characters, the one who speaks for the Bard; in fact, his monologue near the end of Act IV is the longest in Shakespeare, a celebration of love and female beauty in which he decries the failed vow as “Flat treason ’gainst the kingly state of youth.”

Me? Me? Me! Reading Love’s Labor’s Lost, I kept asking myself, “Where would Trump fit in?” The answer would seem to be “nowhere,” since Shakespeare’s clowns and fools are also wise, having been stamped with his genius. However, there’s a sufficiently tr ump ish passage in Act I in which a clown called Costard listens to the King of Navarre r e ad i n g a lon g letter from Don Armado, “a fantastical Spaniard.” Anxiously waiting to hear some mention of himself ( “Not a word of Costard yet”), he brightens up when the K i n g c o m e s to “that low-spirited swain, that base m i n n ow of t h y mirth, —“ Costard: “Me?” “that unlettered small-knowing soul,” — Costard: “Me?” “t h at s h a l low vassal,” — Costard: “Still Me?” “which, as I remember, [is called] Costard —“ Costard: “O, Me!” Though the scene seems made for Jerry Lewis, it has all the elements of a Saturday Night Live sketch with Alec Baldwin’s Trump as Costard.

All’s Not Well Another Shakespearean cure-all is All’s Well That Ends Well, one of the “Problem Plays” and a fitting choice for the Problem Play world we’ve inhabited since November 8, 2016. This is not recommended for use at bedtime. Besides being difficult to access, it’s a relatively unpopular play, underperformed, and hard to classify, neither full-fledged comedy, tragedy, or romance. Shakespeare apparently began writing it early in his career, only to take the plot in a more problematic direction after 1600. The earlier version may have been titled Love’s Labor’s

barefoot pilgrim, she trades places with Diana, a virgin Bertram plans to deflower. After finding a way to get the ring from his finger, she leaves the bed carrying his child. Nothing can stop her and nothing does. Heaven help the Donald if he ever groped the likes of Helena, who lays it out in stark terms before she beds Bertram : “But, O strange men!/That can such sweet use make of what they hate,/When saucy trusting of the cozen’d thoughts/Defiles the pitchy night: so lust doth play/With what it loathes for that which is away.”

Murmurings in the Audience According to the New York Times review of a recent production of Coriolanus, there were audible murmurings in the audience when a character observed that many great men “have flattered the people, who ne’er loved them,” reminding some theatergoers “of a certain elitist parading as a populist.”

In a May 2016 column marking Trump’s nomination, I made the Coriolanus connection after reference to Macbeth (“a tale told by an idiot”) and “over-proud” and “under-honest” Achilles in Troilus and Cressida, with “his pettish lunes, his ebbs, his flows.” This being back when the same Republican leaders who are enabling Trump were holding their noses, I mentioned the scene in Coriolanus where two senators discuss how to deal with a man whose pride is unequaled, who with his taunts will “bemock” the gods and the “modest moon.”

Speaking of congressional sycophants, don’t forget Hamlet’s old pals Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern, as in Ryan and McConnell, or, in the context of the Russia probe, Cohen and Manafort. My match of choice at the moment is Devin Nunes, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, who would need only a prosthetic hump to play Richard the Third, though he’s better fitted for the role of Osric, the murderous Claudius’s flunky, the “water-fly” of whom Hamlet says, “He did comply with his dug, before he sucked it. Thus has he, and many more of the same bevy that I know the dressy age dotes on, only got the tune of the time and outward habit of encounter; a kind of yesty collection which carries them through and through the most fond and winnowed opinions; and do but blow them to their trial ….”

His Great Heart riting about his boyhood love of Shakespeare, William Dean Howells recalls spending “so much of my leisure, with such a sense of his own intimate companionship there as I had nowhere else. I felt that he must somehow like my being in the joke of it all, and that in his great heart he had room for a boy willing absolutely to lose himself in him, and be as one of his creations.”

Won, meant perhaps as an ironic sequel to the gloriously inventive, free-spirited Love’s Labor’s Lost.

The two prototypes of Trump in All’s Well That Ends Well are Bertram, the hateful, caddish Count of Rousillon, and his boastful sidekick Parolles, who says of himself after being unmasked, exposed, and ruined, “simply the thing I am/Shall make me live. Who knows himself a braggart,/Let him fear this, for it will come to pass/That every braggart shall be found an ass.”

The true problem in this play is that Helena, the most admirable of women, loves the detestable Bertram. It’s a mystery why she’s so determined to marry a man with no redeeming qualities and no love for her.

As Harold Bloom as k s i n Shake speare : The Invention of the Human, how can someone as wise as Hele na, “s o formidable in her fixation upon the glittering emptiness of Bertram,” be so “massively wrong”?

There’s a kind of enigmatic nobility in the worthy Helena’s epic quest for the wor thless Bertram’s love. Being the cour t pharmacist’s daugh ter, she finds a medicine strong enough to save t h e k i n g’s l ife, who then grants her only wish by decreeing that Bertram marry her. The ill-natured scoundrel refuses to bed her, going off to war after leaving this drop-dead message: “When thou canst get the ring upon my finger which never shall come off, and show me a child begotten of thy body that I am father to, then call me husband: but in such a ‘then’ I write a ‘never.’“ The sexual subterfuge Helen has to resort to in order to bring this off has Shakespeare’s blessing by way of a speech from one of the lords of the court: “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud, if our faults whipped them not; and our crimes would despair, if they were not cherished by our virtues.” Or, as she puts it herself, after reciting the title of the play, “Whate’er the course, the end is the renown.”

Like Biron in Love’s Labor’s Lost, Helena is Shakespeare’s alter ego. Her audacity is his audacity. Disguised as a

Bike Lane Experiment November Referendum continued from page one

thought it was a safer street with the lanes.

Stockton suggested the need for an engineering study, possibly for the whole corridor from Bayard Lane to Harrison or Snowden. “We need to look at it in a systematic fashion,” she said, “explore the longterm consequences.” She also recommended a complete street analysis with consideration of intersections and crosswalks. “How does this function for all?” she asked.

“Is this overall plan the best use of the right of way — for the business community and for residents, too?”

She also noted the need to compensate for the loss of parking. Stockton said she’d like to keep the bike lane momentum going and plans to bring a proposal for an engineering study from WSP to Council in August.

Quinn stated that in the survey results and in outreach work while the lanes were in place, he and his coworkers “heard both positive and negative responses from residents. We’re looking at innovative ways of solving the parking problem. There are solutions available.”

strong “DIY” ethic.

All forms of art will be considered, including traditional media such as paint, photography, illustration, and sculpture. They will also gladly consider anything out of the ordinary including skateboard art, graffiti, tattoo flash, flyer/art show posters, record cover art, silkscreened posters, taxidermy/bone art, and more.

You must be the artist of the piece you are submitting. The open call for art ends Saturday, August 18. The opening reception is Saturday, September 22 from 7 to 9 p.m., and the show runs through October 20. To apply, visit www.trentonprfm.com.

The Center for Contemporary Art has announced its annual “Members’ NonJuried Exhibition and Sale,” a yearly oppor tunit y for members to showcase their artwork in any and all media. The variety and range of entries is a testament to the diversity and creativity of The Center’s community of artists. This year 113 artists participated, submitting works in painting, pastel, charcoal, ink, graphite, photography, mixed media, sculpture, and ceramics.

Kristen Evangelista, director of the William Paterson University Galleries since 2011, served as the judge for the exhibition. In selecting this year’s awards, Evangelista said she was “drawn to artworks that push the boundaries of their materials while building upon a mastery of techniques and articulating new visions and directions.”

Best of Show, the Sally Bush Memorial Award, was presented to Thomas W. Martin (Edison) for his eggtempera painting, Portrait of Monica; awards of excellence were given to Joe Denequolo (Mahwah) and Susanna Kopchains ( Far Hills); and honorable mentions were received by Oscar Beck (West Milford), Doris Ettlinger (Hampton), Grace Modla ( Holmdel ), Naomi Nierenberg (Somerset), and Lois Westerfield ( Somerset). “This exhibit,” said Evangelista, “reaffirms the important role of the arts to reflect and spark our imagination.”

“THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME”: On Sunday, July 29 at 12:30 p.m., Princeton Garden Theatre is screening National Theatre Live’s performance of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” Mark Haddon’s celebrated novel is adapted into a stage play by Simon Stephens and directed by Marianne Elliot. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, 15-year-old Christopher is autistic. His carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbor’s dog impaled on a garden fork and he is initially blamed for the killing.

The performance was recorded live at the National Theatre, London in September 2012. Tickets cost $18 for general admission, and $16 for members.

This Princeton-based ensemble provides a great opportunity for percussion students of all levels to play independently while developing ensemble skills. Next, a circus arts performance by The Circus Place.

Considered folk industrial, this group developed out of world renowned percussionist Dendê Macêdo’s interest in making instruments out of found materials.

4:05 – 4:40 p.m.: From the City Of Brotherly Love comes singer, rapper, and songwriter Osiris Wildfire. Wildfire creates music that encourages the nurturing of Mother Earth and her inhabitants.

Extensive study in both countries as well as performing with jazz legend Badal Roys “Dharma Jazz” and Grammy winner Paul Winter Consort have kept Daniel moving further into subtle pulsations.

CINEMA REVIEW

Blindspotting

Lifelong Friendship Is Tested by Police Shooting in Dramatic Comedy

C

ollin (Daveed Diggs) and Miles (Rafael Casal), who are black and white, respectively, have been best friends since they were kids. Now in their 20s, they both still live in the rough Oakland neighborhood where they grew up, although it‘s been gentrifying in recent years.

The change in the neighborhood has made it hard for the two of them to get along with their new neighbors because Collin is a convicted felon on probation, and Miles has ghetto written all over him, such as the tattoos all over his body.

When Collin was paroled, Miles got him a job with the moving company where he works.

After hours, Miles goes home to his baby’s mama (Jasmine Cephas Jones) and young son (Ziggy Baitinger), although he’d rather roam the streets with his gun. Collin, however, has a strict curfew and needs to stay out of trouble becuse he’s finishing his parole and sentence at a local halfway house.

The plot thickens one evening when Collin is in his car at a stoplight. He is the sole witness who sees a white

police officer (Ethan Embry) shoot an unarmed black man in the back.

Collin drives away from the scene when ordered to by the police, but the incident haunts him for days. Surprisingly, when he tries to talk about it with Miles, racial tensions surface that test their close relationship.

Blindspotting is an in-your-face dramatic comedy cowritten by co-stars Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal who worked on the script for over a decade. The movie also marks the directorial debut of Carlos Lopez Estrada, who previously shot music videos.

Blindspotting’s exploration of race, class, and police brutality issues creates a thought-provoking experience that will affect you even after you leave the theater.

Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for sexual references, drug use, brutal violence, ethnic slurs, and pervasive profanity.

Running time: 95 minutes. Production Studios: Summit Entertainment/Codeblack Films/Foley Walkers Studio/ Snoot Entertainment. Distributor: Lionsgate Entertainment.

I HOPE WE DON’T GET STOPPED BY THE COPS: Collin (Daveed Diggs, center) and his lifelong friend Miles (Rafael Casal, left) are sitting in Dez’s (John Chaffin) car.

Fresh, Fragrant, Locally Grown Lavender Is Available at Princeton Lavender Farm

I

t’s not only in the gardens of Provence or the fields of the English countryside. Lavender flourishes right here in New Jersey. Its fragrant aroma, so appealing, is a favorite, not only in its natural, fresh form, but also in soaps, lotions, and in numerous dried products.

IT’S NEW To Us

Pr inceton L avender at 3741 Lawrenceville Road opened in 2016. Owners Brad and Beth Smith purchased the eight-and-a-halfacre property, previously a horse farm, three years ago.

“The property is farmassessed,” explains Brad Smith,“ and we decided to look into things to grow on a small farm.”

“I was always interested in lavender,” adds B et h Smith. “It’s a perennial, and it doesn’t spoil. It attracts bees and butterflies, and can be used in so many ways, including dried lavender, which is popular for wreaths, sachets, etc. It is also resistant to deer. It begins to bloom the first day of summer, and will continue to flower through September. It can be planted in spring, summer, and fall, almost year-round.”

New Adventure Although the Smiths had no prev iou s exp er ie n ce growing lavender, they were

enthusiastic about this new adventure, and carefully researched the subject.

“I read four or five books, and I went to see a horticulturist who is an expert,” says Brad Smith. “Maintenance primarily involves taking care of grass and weeds.

The first two years you need to water frequently until the roots are established. But the plants don’t like to be drenched, or the roots can be saturated with too much water.”

“I really admire how the plants can take care of themselves,” points out Beth Smith.

After tilling the land and preparing it, they planted an acre of small lavender plants, and customers began to arrive soon after.

“We were pleased with the response right away,” reports Brad. “It’s a great location right across from Peterson’s Nurser y, and people often just stop in as they are driving past.”

Several Varieties Several varieties of lavender are available, includi ng Ph e nom e na l, S up er Blue, Big Time Blue, and Provence. Potted plants are sold in three sizes at the new Amish-made farm stand.

Potted lavender starts at $4, fresh-cut flower bouquets at $7, dried lavender bundles from $7.50, and wreaths (made by Beth Smith) from $40.

In addition to its flourishing field of lavender, Princeton Lavender has established a series of beehives.

“Last year, we had two beehives, and now we have 12,” said the Smiths. “We now have 10,000 bees per hive, and we plan to have 60,000. Bees and lavender go together, and we hope to have lavender honey in the fall.”

This combination of lavender and bees makes a visit to Princeton Lavender very intriguing. As one customer noted, “I love lavender. it’s so therapeutic and soothing. Pr inceton L avender offers reasonably-priced, fresh, local lavender. There is nothing better than great quality plants right from the farm. And then, in addition, to have the beehives right there and the honey — this is exciting!”

Field of Beauty The Smiths are happy to offer this experience to visitors, and enjoy being part of the natural surroundings.

“I enjoy the aesthetics and creating a field of beauty,” says Brad. “I also like the chance to interact with the customers. It’s both a destination for people and a place they stop in as they’re driving by. People have also been coming back again once they find us.”

Adds Beth, “It’s been so

LOTS OF LAVENDER: “We are very encouraged, sales are four times what they were our first year. We love to sell the lavender, and see how much people enjoy it.” Brad and Beth Smith, owners of Princeton Lavender on 3741 Lawrenceville Road, are shown by an assortment of lavender plants. satisfying to be part of this.

Lavender is a plant that so many people love. And the different varieties can have slightly different fragrances and also mixed colors. It’s a treat for the senses! I look forward to continuing to sell the lavender and see how much people like it.”

In addition to the lavender and beehives, the Smiths also offer a newly-built loft studio, listed on AirBnB.

It has been highly recommended by its many visitors, including tourists, and has been awarded “Super Host” status. “In June, we had people 29 out of 30 days,” says Brad.

To visit Princeton Lavender, it is best to call for an appointment, (973 ) 978 8311. Website: www.prince tonlavender.com.

PU Women’s Lightweights Earn All-America Honors

Recently graduated Princeton University wome n’s l ig ht we ig ht row i ng standouts Megan Mirabella and Emily Schneider have added one more line to their sterling crew resumes as they both recently earned College Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) All-America honors.

The pair of seniors have played a key role in the resurgence of the wom en’s lightweight program, which saw the varsity eight take second at the Eastern Sprints and third at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association ( IR A ) national championship regatta this spring. Mirabella, a native of North Wales, Pa., was a four-year coxswain for the Tiger 1V, and her presence and experience was invaluable in the tough postseason racing over the last two years. Schneider, who hails from Fairfax, Va., was one of Princeton’s top rowers and the 2018 team captain.

Three members of the Princeton University men’s heavyweight rowing program will be in Poland this week to compete in the U-23 World Championships.

Two current Tigers, rising senior Dan de Groot and rising junior David BewickeCopley, will join incoming freshman Jonas Juel in Poznan, Poland at the event that runs from July 25-29.

Both de Groot and Bewicke-Copley were members of the Princeton varsity eight last spring that returned to both the grand finals at Eastern Sprints and the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championships. The Tigers took fourth at Sprints and fifth at the IRAs. The duo could find themselves in competing boats during the grand finals, which are set for July 29.

De Groot will row in the Canadian M8+, while BewickeCopley will be in the British M8+. Bewicke-Copley, along with former Princeton teammate Matthew Benstead ’17, helped the British M8+ win bronze at the 2017 U-23 Championships.

Juel earned the right to

straight years of competing in the 1x at the Junior World Championships. Juel won the B final in the 1x at the 2017 Junior Worlds.

That trio will join five Princeton women’s open rowers who will also be competing at the U-23 World Championships. Both rising senior Claire Collins and rising junior Hadley Irwin will race in the USA W8+, while rising senior Emily Kallfelz will be the USA representative in the W1x and rising sophomore Hannah Scott will row in the pair for Great Britain. Those four helped Princeton win a third straight Ivy League championship this past spring, and they went on to lead the Tigers back to the NCAA grand final. Incoming freshman Flo Donald will row in the four for Great Britain.

Princeton Women’s Soccer Hosting Scrimmages August 19

As it gears up for the 2018 season, the Princeton University women’s soccer team will host a day of scrimmages on Plummer Field on August 19 as the Tigers aim to follow up their run to the 2017 NCAA quarterfinals.

Princeton will welcome a pair of 2017 NCAA Division II tournament teams in Adelphi and Kutztown. Adelphi and Princeton will meet for a 60-minute game at 9 a.m., followed by Kutztown and Adelphi at 10:30 a.m. and Princeton and Kutztown at noon. Admission to the scrimmages is free.

Princeton will open its season the following weekend as it plays at New Hampshire on August 24 and at Boston GOLDEN GOAL: Tom Schreiber heads upfield during his career with the Princeton University University two days later. men’s lacrosse team. Last Saturday, star midfielder Schreiber, a 2014 Princeton alum who scored 200 points in his Tiger career, scored a goal with one second to play to give the United States a 9-8 win over Canada in the gold medal game at the FIL World Championships in Netanya, Israel. Schreiber and Ryan Brown led the U.S. with three goals apiece in the final.

Finishing the seven-game tournament with 13 goals and eight assists, Schreiber was named to the All-World Team and as the Outstanding Midfielder of the competition. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

In the view of Francis, the tight layout of the course will provide a good challenge for the young stars.

“I think they have to use a little more finesse; it is not just bomb it and knock it on to the green,” said Francis.

“You are going to have to hit clubs other than a driver off the tee on a number of holes. They will rarely play a golf course with greens as small as Springdale’s are.

The ups and downs from the sides of the green are pretty difficult because the greens aren’t that wide.”

Beyond testing their skills, Francis hopes that golfers involved in the competition will draw some of the lessons he has gained from the game.

“Golf has meant so much to me; it taught me how to be mature, it taught me how to interact with grownups, it taught me how to have the right level of decorum i n a l l e ve nt s,” as s er te d Francis.

“It helped me clarify where I wanted to go to college. It has helped me throughout my whole life.

From my standpoint whatever I give back to the game, either financially or with my time or both, is a drop in the bucket compared to what golf has given to me.”

Pulling Out Summer Hoops Series Opener, NJ Spiritwear Turns the Tables on LoyalTees In its regular season finale in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League earlier this month, NJ Spiritwear had a chance to clinch first place when it faced LoyalTees.

But failing to rise to the occasion, NJ Spiritwear lost 66-51 as LoyalTees earned the top seed for the playoffs.

“At beginning of the last

game, we didn’t stretch,” said NJ Spiritwear guard Troy Jones, whose team had also lost 60-55 to LoyalTees in the season opener. “We were sluggish coming out and they slapped us in the mouth, basically.”

With the foes, who each went 6-2 in regular season play, both advancing to the league’s best-of-three championship series, Jones and

HIGH SPIRITS: NJ Spiritwear guard Troy Jones flies to the rim against LoyalTees last Monday as the teams met in the opening game of the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League’s best-of-three championship series.

Jones scored 19 points as NJ Spiritwear edged LoyalTees 7067. Game two is slated for July 25 with game three, if necessary, to be played on July 27.

his teammates were determined to come out strong and turn the tables in the series opener last Monday night.

“Today we were pumped up, I was ready to play,” said Jones. “When we got on the floor, we were yelling and all of that. It helps a lot.”

NJ Spiritwear had a lot to shout about as it got out of the gate with a sizzling 16-0 run, tallying 14 points in the first 1:45 of the contest, which was played in the Princeton High gym as evening showers moved the game inside from the Community Park courts.

LoyalTees fought back to narrow the gap, but NJ Spiritwear still led 36-31 at halftime with Jones tallying 10 points and former Princeton Day School standout John McArthur chipping in 11.

In the second half, NJ Spiritwear weathered the storm, pulling out a 70-67 win in a heated contest that featured physical play all over the court.

“We were just playing a lot smarter and we wanted it,” said Jones. “We wanted the loose balls more than them and we just believed more than them.”

A critical factor in the win was Jones’ deadeye free throw shooting as he drained six attempts from the charity stripe in the second half on the way to totaling 19 points for the evening.

“I have b een work i ng hard since the last time we lost to them” said the 6’0, 170-pound Jones, a former star at Notre Dame High who is heading into his sophomore season with the East Stroudsburg University men’s Division II hoops program. “I am working out for my school, but I take this seriously too.”

Although this is NJ Spiritwear’s first season in the summer league, Jones is not surprised that the squad is making a serious title run.

“We can all score at will,” said Jones, in assessing the team’s strengths in looking ahead to game two of the series which is slated for July 25, with game three, if necessary, to be played on July 27. “It is knowing when to take someone off the dribble and when there is an extra pass to make.”

Earning Legendary Status for Clutch Shooting, Hatchell Makes Summer Hoops Hall of Fame During his heyday in the Princeton Recreation Depar tment Men’s Summer Basketball League, a flurry of three-pointers from Chris Hatchell would often prompt the admonition “don’t let him heat up” from the scorer’s table at the Community Park courts.

Hatchell became a league legend as his hot shooting from the perimeter in crunch time helped him earn two regular season MVP awards (2011, 2014) and get named the playoff MVP four times (2003, 2004, 2012, and 2014).

Last Wednesday as part of the league’s celebration of its 30th year of play, Hatchell was inducted into its Hall of Fame. Getting inducted along with Hatchell in this year’s HOF class was the Ivy Inn team, which won three straight league titles from 2008 -10 and six crowns overall, and this reporter, who has been covering the league for the Town Topics since 2003.

Hatchell initially entered the league on The Cafe squad in 2002 as a way to keep playing with former Mercer County Community College teammates, Shahid Abdul-Karim, Asmar Fortney, and Marshawn Ferguson. It didn’t take long for Hatchell, who also played college ball at The College of New Jersey, to relish the scene at the Community Parks courts.

“At that time, I was playing in Cadwalader Park in the summer time, that was the premier league,” said Hatchell, who also played for The Cafe from 2002-05 and then for Winberie’s from 2011-15 .

“Then I came out here and they also had high level competition. There were a lot of good D-1 players and a couple of overseas players.”

For Hatchell, testing his skills against such foes motivated him to raise his game.

“It was playing with those guys I went to school with and seeing how they competed against those other guys like the players from Princeton,” said Hatchell.

“I remember Noah Savage from Princeton and a couple of those other guys who played out here over the years. It was the high level competition.”

In reflecting on his propensity for hitting big shots in the clutch, Hatchell attributed that to a burning desire to win.

“I am just competitive myself,” said a grinning Hatchell, 44, a resident of Trenton who works in plumbing and

pipefitting, and has stayed in the game through coaching youth basketball and serving as a referee. “I don’t like to lose.”

Getting into the league’s Hall of Fame is a just reward for Hatchell’s success as a competitor over the years.

“It was a great run, this league was good then and it is still good,” said Hatchell.

“My multiple MVPs and things like that are OK, but I have never been in a Hall of Fame for anything.

It means a lot to be in the Hall of Fame, period. A lot of people don’t get to that point.”

—Bill Alden

HEADING TO THE HALL: Chris Hatchell heads to the hoop for Winberie’s in 2013 action in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League. Hatchell, who earned two regular season MVP awards and was named the playoff MVP four times over the years, was inducted into the league’s Hall of Fame last Wednesday. Getting inducted along with Hatchell in this year’s HOF class was the Ivy Inn team, which won three straight league titles from 2008-10 and six overall, and Town Topics sports editor Bill Alden, who has been covering the league since 2003.

With fall preseason practices starting in a few weeks, the Princeton High athletics program was recently recognized for its accomplishments during the 2017-18 school year.

PHS tied for fifth place in the Group IV standings for the ShopRite Cup, a contest among NJSIAA (New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association) programs based on points earned for finishing in the top four in state championship competition across 31 sports.

The Little Tigers piled up 47 points over the school year to tie with Montgomery High and BridgewaterRaritan for fifth. The Group IV winner was North Hunterdon, which accumulated a total of 62.

Getting off to a solid start in the fall, PHS earned 16 points as the boys’ soccer team and boys’ cross country squad each placed second in the Group IV state tournaments. Coach Wayne S utclif fe’s soccer s quad knocked off New Jersey Top20 teams Monroe, Hunterdon Central, and Washington Township on the way to the state title game where it fell 3-2 to Kearny to end the fall at 17-6-1. The cross country team, coached by Jim Smirk, continued its amazing run of form, taking second in the state Group

IV meet. A year earlier, the Little Tigers swept the sectional and group meets before taking first in the Meet of Champions for the first time in program history.

In the winter, Tim Chase took the helm of the boys’ hockey team and guided it to a second straight trip to the state Public B semis where it fell 6-1 to Northern Highlands to finish with an 18-9-2 record.

The spring was highlighted by a historic campaign from the boys’ track team as it rolled to titles at the Mercer County Outdoor Championships and the Central Jersey Group IV sectional meet, winning the former for the first time since 1982 and the latter for the first time since 1989. At the state Group IV meet, the Little Tigers rallied late in the meet to edge perennial power East Orange in winning the program’s first outdoor Group state title since 1981.

The boys’ tennis team, a perennial powerhouse, returned to the state final for the second time in four years. Coach Sarah Hibbert’s team fell 4-1 to local rival W W/P-South in the Group IV title match and posted a final record of 203.

I n 1985, S a r a D or a n played on a PHS girls’ lacrosse team that won a state

title and this spring, as head coach of the program, she helped it nearly repeat history. After the Little Tigers started the 2018 season by losing five of its first six games, the team caught fire down the stretch, topping Rancocas Valley 9-8 in the sectional final to make the state semis. The team’s run ended when it fell 20-7 to Clearview in the final four to end the spring at 13-11.

James Robert McCredie James Robert McCredie, renowned archaeologist, astute academic, beloved husband and father, died on July 15 at the Princeton Medical Center. He was 82.

He was born on New Year’s Eve, 1935 in Chicago, Illinois to William and Mareta (Black) McCredie. He traveled east to attend Phillips Exeter Academy, where he received a classical diploma.

Throughout his life, people knew him as a Harvard man.

He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Literature (’58) and also received his PhD (’63) from Harvard with his dissertation, “Fortified Military Camps in Attica.”

He was one of those fortunate people whose talents, interests, and career aligned.

In an interview, Mr. McCredie

Memorial Gathering

Emmi Spies A Memorial Gathering in celebration of the life of Emmi Spies will be held on Saturday, August 4 at 2 p.m., as a non-denominational service hosted by friends and family at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 50 Cherry Hill Road, Princeton, NJ 08540.

in 1977, he then chaired the school’s managing committee from 1980-1990 and served as president of the board of trustees from 20012010.

His academic career was affiliated primarily with the Institute of Fine Arts in New York. Mr. McCredie came to the institute in 1961 as an instructor, rose to professor in 1978 and served as director from 1983-2002. In 1988, he was named Sherman Fairchild Professor of Fine Arts, becoming emeritus in 2002.

In addition to numerous other awards and distinctions received over his lifetime, Mr. McCredie was a member of the American Philosophical Societ y, a member of the Institute for Advanced Studies, an honorary citizen of Samothrace (Greece) and held an honorary degree from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece).

Beyond the particulars of his prodigious career in academia and classical archaeology, Mr. McCredie will be remembered for his self-effacing personality, his insistence on always giving credit to others, his wry and ready sense of humor, his consummate good judgment, and his patient attention to detail.

He is survived by and will be profoundly missed by his wife of 58 years, Marian Lucille Miles McCredie; his son Miles William McCredie; his daughter Meredeth McCredie Winter; son-in-law Mark Jay Winter; grandchildren William Vanderhoek Winter and Eleanor Cornelia Winter; and by the countless students and colleagues whose lives he influenced.

Robert Louis Slighton Robert Louis (Bob) Slighton, age 85, of Princeton, New Jersey, died on Sunday, June 24, in Princeton after a short battle with cancer.

Bob was born in Missouri in 1932 to Phyllis (Turner) and Robert Henry Slighton and educated at Princeton University (’53, AB in International Relations) and Johns Hopkins (’58, PhD in Political Economics).

His distinguished career in international economic policy analysis took him from California (Assistant Professor of Economics at Stanford University then Senior Research Economist at the RAND Corporation with part-time positions at CalTech and UCLA) to Washington DC (National Intelligence Officer for Economics and Energy under the Director of Central Intelligence and then Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Research and Planning in the Office of the Assistant Secretary at the Department of Treasury under the Ford Administration, finally leading him back to Princeton and almost 20 years as Chief International Economist at Chase Manhattan Bank, with

Nelson Glass & Aluminum Co. “Yes, we also rescreen screens: regular & pawproof.”

considerable international travel along the way.

From the West Coast to the East Coast, his professional life was peppered with travels that took him across the globe, where he sought out opportunities to sample local cuisines — even hiring a boat in Thailand to take him out on the water so he could sample his first durian, a notoriously smelly fruit forbidden in his hotel room. Along with considerable travels taken for pleasure with his wife Margaret (McLean), these experiences helped inform his pursuit of cooking, a life-long hobby he approached with the same thorough research he applied to his economic policy analyses.

After his retirement, he was able to concentrate on his love of cooking, and for ten years held a series of cooking

classes for a small group of friends. An invitation to join Bob and Margaret for one of his elaborate meals always promised a truly memorable feast.

He is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Margaret (McLean); daughter Catherine (John Brehm); son Eric (Audrey Tung); and seven grandchildren: Laurel, Robin, Joseph, Jefferson, Elisabeth, Neil, and Russell.

A Memorial for Family and Friends to celebrate Bob’s life and what would have been his 86th birthday will be held in Prospect House, Princeton University, 3:30 p.m. on September 10, 2018. Please RSVP to Catherine Slighton at cslighton@yahoo.com. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a contribution to Doctors Without Borders or the charity of your choice.

Memorial Service A Gathering of Remembrance for Jean Millis Gilpin and Robert George Gilpin Jr. will be held on Sunday, August 5th, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. at the Overlook of Jean’s Meadow, 475 Black Bear Hollow Road, Waterbury VT.

Obituaries

once shared the following interpretation of his path into archaeology: “the Greek historian [at Harvard, Sterling Dow] said, ‘Do something useful,’ so he sent me out to Gordian in Turkey to dig, and I thought that was fun ….”

And, while his seriousness as a classical archaeologist, as a gifted teacher, and as a generous mentor was never in doubt, fun was always integral to, and perhaps a secret to, his success.

In 1962, Mr. McCredie began an association with the island of Samothrace in the northern Aegean that would last the rest of his life. He joined the small team of archaeologists excavating and researching the Sanctuary of the Great Gods there and assumed the role of director in 1966. The Samothracian Great Gods were the center of one of the most famous mystery cults of Greek antiquity, dating to the fourth century BC. Over the subsequent 50 years of excavation and research he transformed scholars’ understanding of Hellenistic architecture. His time as a field archaeologist was generously shared with hundreds of students who thrived under his patient direction and mentoring.

He was appointed director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 1969, just six years after finishing his dissertation. He guided the School through unsettling times under the Junta in Greece, putting it at the epicenter of classical studies in Greece. After returning to the United States

TAKING CARE OF YOUR LAWN: DIY OR HIRE A PROFESSIONAL

TO

When it comes to beautifying your lawn it can be overwhelming deciding whether you should take on the task by yourself or hire a lawn care professional. This decision may depend on your schedule, what kind of work your lawn needs, and yard size. Attempting to upkeep your yard by yourself may lead to expensive fixes or dangerous mistakes if you do not have experience trimming hedges and bushes. A professional will also do a much better job of tidying up after since they have it down to a routine. However, many have found gardening and lawn care to be a relaxing activity, time to spend outdoors.

Also, by taking on the task by yourself you can save money (about $160 to $200 per month, according to Angie’s List) and feel accomplished by creating something beautiful on your property.

Based on what kind of work your lawn needs, DIY may be the way to go, but other tasks require a professional’s expertise. Whether you choose to take care of your lawn yourself or hire a lawn care professional, the most important thing is to have a beautiful space that feels like home.
