Peace Action Meeting Features Col. Wilkerson, At Seminary on June 4 Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, will present the keynote address at the Coalition for Peace Action’s (CFPA) 37th Anniversary Membership Dinner and Gathering on Sunday, June 4 in the Mackay Campus Center of Princeton Theological Seminary.

At the program the CFPA will also honor the Muslims4Peace organization and three state legislators who have championed the prevention of gun violence.

Mr. Wilkerson, who currently teaches at the College of William and Mary, has been a leading critic of the Iraq War and of America’s use of drone warfare.

“He has a more sweeping critique of militarism dominating our relations with other countries,” said the Rev. Robert Moore, executive director of the Princeton-based CFPA. “We are unfortunately relying on the military more and more for solving problems.”

Mr. Moore noted that Mr. Wilkerson has stated that supporting Colin Powell in his argument for the Iraq invasion was “one of the worst mistakes of his life. There was a cabal that was skewing the intelligence. Powell let himself get duped, as the vice president and the secretary of defense were most involved in cooking the books.”

In addition to serving as Mr. Powell’s chief of staff, Mr. Wilkerson also served as associate director of the State Department’s policy planning staff. His distinguished 31-year career in the U.S. Army included leadership posts at the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine War Colleges, before retiring in 1997. Since then he has taught at George Washington University and The College of William and Mary.

Mr. Wilkerson will be speaking on “The U.S. and New World Disorder“ at the June 4 gathering that begins at 1 p.m, with dinner at 2 p.m. and the program from 3-5 p.m.

“We are delighted to offer such a special opportunity to hear from a leading expert on the excesses of U.S. military interventions, and how counterproductive that is to peaceful alternatives for dealing with international conflict,” Mr. Moore said.

The bipartisan group of honorees includes N.J. State Senator Christopher “Kip” Bateman (R-16), who cast a vote Continued on Page 4

Immigration Meeting Draws Large Turnout

“Immigrants Are Welcome Here” read the sign at the Nassau Street Presbyterian Church, as last Wednesday’s meeting on immigration issues echoed that sentiment and a range of related themes.

In the current climate of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids and arrests in several states and widespread fears and rumors, the meeting at Nassau Presbyterian Church last week included about 130 local leaders, business owners, academics, and other supporters of the work of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF).

Emphasizing the urgency of the situation, LALDEF Chair Patricia FernandezKelly, Princeton University sociology professor and emcee for the occasion, noted that undocumented immigrants are being harshly targeted by the current administration. “It’s not just about the population of paperless people,” she said. “It’s about the country, what we stand for, a sense of decency and inclusiveness.”

She continued, “These are women who worry about the fate of their children in case they are detained and deported; sons and daughters reluctant to attend school for fear that their parents won’t be there when they return home; and small business owners who have contributed to our

nation’s economy, but who might have to forego ambitions and go deeper into the shadows.”

Ms. Fernandez-Kelly described Wednesday’s meeting as “an extraordinary event, making a statement about decency, fair play, and devotion to American values.”

Lead speaker Alejandro Portes, Princeton University sociology professor emeritus, noted that “to deport such people is legal but also inhumane.”

In his remarks titled “Immigrants in the

Age of Mass Deportations,” Mr. Portes pointed out that the population being targeted came to this country in response to labor demands here, “not just because they wanted to, but because they were wanted. It is a population of innocents, whose only crime was to respond to a labor demand on this side of the border.”

He added that the children of these immigrants are even more innocent.

“The policy of massive deportation,” he continued,“ disregards the significant

The November election of Donald Trump did not sit well with Lindsay Castro, Ashley Henderson, and Anna Westrick.

The three friends, who live with their families in Princeton, went to the Women’s March in Washington the day after the Trump inauguration. Energized by the momentum, they were inspired to form a group of like-minded people, motivated to support officials reflecting their views.

That marked the beginning of Princeton Marching Forward, a locally-based, grass roots organization which now numbers some 230 on its current mailing list.

The three friends were taken aback by the quick response to their idea.

“We thought if we had 10 people show up at the first meeting, it was a win. And we had 85,” said Ms. Castro, a stay-athome mother (Ms. Henderson is a producer at the New York advertising agency BBDO, and Ms. Westrick is a physician at University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro). “We were amazed,” Ms Castro continued. “But we realized we had tapped into this community of newlymotivated people who had never done

DANGEROUS INVADER: Hydrilla, a fast-spreading invasive weed currently clogging sections of the D&R Canal, can grow an entirely new plant from a tiny stem fragment. Those using the canal for boating are advised to wash off their vessel after leaving the water to help stop the plant’s spread.

Invasive Plant Species Hydrilla Causing Problems in the D&R Canal

As if the emerald ash borer plaguing Princeton’s tree canopy wasn’t enough, there is another dangerous invader on the move. It’s Hydrilla, a fast-spreading invasive weed currently clogging sections of the Delaware and Raritan Canal.

A posting on Princeton’s

municipal website warns, in big, red letters, that Hydrilla, named after Hydra, the nine-headed serpent of Greek mythology because it can grow an entirely new plant from a tiny stem fragment, has arrived. The weed “out-competes native vegetation, and has the potential to significantly restrict flow through the canal and damage the natural ecology,” the notice reads. Those using the canal for boating are urged to follow certain recommendations to help stop the spread of the invasive weed.

water supply authority says is safe and effective. A company called SOLitude Lake Management has been surveying and assessing the effects of Hydrilla and other invasive species in the canal since September 2016. Hydrilla has been observed in 56 percent of the survey sites.

Anyone who thinks they have located Hydrilla in the canal can report it to the strike team. “We have a phone app. And you can do it very easily if you’re out on the fly,” Mr. Van Clef said.

“It looks like some other stuff, so it is very important to get the information to the experts.”

“This is a newly-emerging invasive species, and it’s huge in New Jersey,” said Michael Van Clef, stewardship director for the Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space. The New Jersey Invasive Species Strike Team is a project of that organization. “It is something that is extremely aggressive,” Mr. Van Clef continued. “It can clog waterways. It can ruin CheCk out and new produCts by recreational activities mess up the ecology of a body of water. It’s definitely something we don’t want.”

According to information from the New Jersey Water Supply Authority, Hydrilla was was first brought to the United States intentionally to sell as an aquarium plant.

It is spread, primarily, by human activities. “Although it is listed as a Federal noxious weed, Hydrilla is often found hitchhiking in shipments of aquatic plants used in water gardens and may be sold by aquarium supply dealers or over the Internet,” the organization’s website reads.

“Accidental spread is also commonly achieved by the hitchhiking of small Hydrilla fragments on water vehicles including boats, bait buckets, draglines, motors, and www.princetonmagazinestore.com trailers to new water systems.”

M r. Va n Cl e f a d v i s e s anyone using the canal for kayaking or other activities to wash off their boats after leaving the water. “Don’t drag it around from there to somewhere else,” he said. “That’s very important.

These are aquatic hitchhikers.”

Princeton officers encountering citizens or victims via walk-in reports or calls for service, and offenders or witnesses who exhibit physical or other signs of addiction (multiple DUIs, criminal behavior to support addictions, etc.) will be asked if they need help fighting an addiction. If so, Recovery Advocates of America will be notified and can respond within the hour to begin the recovery process. Addicts not incarcerated can begin the recovery process that same day. Incarcerated addicts are also still eligible for treatment through the program.

T he P r i nce ton Pol ice, Corner House, and other Princeton first responders and community service organizations have long dealt with the manifestations of addiction. Overdose, burglaries, thefts, drugged and drunk driving, and other disorderly persons offenses and crimes are often the result of people struggling through an addiction.

He ended up at the VA Hospital in the Bronx, and I went to visit him. It was very shameful to see how he was treated there. He was treated like a piece of meat. Very, very sad.”

Patricia: “We went to the Billy Joel concert the other night.

Billy Joel sang “Goodnight Saigon,” and they recruited members of the military and brought them up on stage. Billy Joel shook their hands and thanked them for their service. It was very touching.”

Princeton High School will be hosting the last two of a series of six lectures on a range of environmental health topics on Wednesdays, May 31 and June 7, 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Dr. Aly Cohen, an internist specializing in comprehensive rheumatology, integrative medicine, and environmental health will lecture this week on several classes of chemicals, including how medications can adversely affect health, as well as non-medicine ways to relieve pain. She will discuss flame retardant chemicals, plasticizers, pesticides, and other chemicals that affect the endocrine system of the human body.

Her June 7 presentation will address ways to naturally clean the body of chemicals, including diet choices, exercise, and how sleep works to clean the brain. “I will be talking physiology, toxicology, U.S. regulatory laws, and helping kids make safer, healthier choices with

products, food, and lifestyle,” she said.

Cell Phones and Other Gadgets; What’s Really in Your Drinking Water?; Air Quality; and Is My Antiperspirant Killing Me? (choosing safer personal care products) are among the topics addressed by Dr. Cohen in previous classes, which drew 40-60 high school students per lecture.

She described, “Great interest and questions from the students,” and she has been collecting data with pre- and post-lecture questions in order to evaluate this program for potential national accessibility.

“I also encourage students to take a look at and follow my Facebook and Instagram pages, “T he Smar t Hu man,” which is unbranded environmental health and prevention information for students and people of all science backgrounds,” Dr. Cohen said. “I post great health tips three times per week.”

Immigration Meeting continued from page one

contributions made by this population and the serious human suffering in uprooting families and sending them to a country that many barely remember and their children do not even know.”

Emphasizing troubling issues of morality and human rights, Mr. Portes accused the federal government of “sacrificing the moral standing of this country that took so many generations and so many lives to build.

That standing is being seriously compromised, and those of us who still believe in that moral standing for America have the responsibility of standing up to the present government and these people. This is what we have to do — not for legal reasons, but for moral ones, for the self-respect and dignity of the country.”

Several other speakers presented poignant stories of experiences as undocumented immigrants struggling to regularize their presence in the country, and three LALDEF leaders followed up with appeals to the audience for support, financial and personal, in their ongoing work with immigrants.

Dan-el Padilla Peralta, assistant professor of classics at Princeton University and author of Undocumented: A Dominican Boy’s Odyssey from a Homeless Shelter to the Ivy League, is originally from the Dominican Republic. He described 17 years of seeking to normalize his situation under extremely difficult conditions.

Marisol Conde-Hernandez, “a daughter of Princeton,” told how she came here from Mexico with her undocumented parents at an early age and worked her way through Mercer County Community College and Rutgers University with the help of LALDEF and other organizations. Last week she received her law degree from Rutgers.

Steve Puac, who arrived in the U.S. at the age of 12 and will be attending Haverford College in the fall, described his experience in LALDEF’s FUTURO Program, which provides immigrant high school students with the financial and human support necessary for successful transition to college.

Two other young women, whose names were not revealed, told more troubling stories of their continuing struggles to achieve an education and regular immigration status, and their help from LALDEF. “LALDEF offers care and encouragement to people like these exceptional new Americans whose faith and endurance give the lie to characterizations of immigrants as ‘law breakers,’” Ms. FernandezKelly said. “Instead they are vulnerable people seeking lives worth living. We are proud to join hands with them.”

Other speakers representing LALDEF included Executive Director Adriana Abizadeh, who described the booming demand for services in the six months since the presidential election, and the need for new office space and larger staff to accommodate the needs of immigrants currently seeking assistance; LALDEF Board Member Leticia Fraga, who described the community ID card as an essential means to give people without other forms of identification a way to interact with local institutions and to be protected in emergencies; and LALDEF Executive Committee and Board Member Anastasia

Mann, who emphasized the dire needs of LALDEF at this time and the importance of the community’s moral and financial support.

Since 2004, LALDEF has provided services to Latinos in Mercer County, including legal referrals, community ID cards, English-as-a-Second-Language classes, tax consultations, and educational assistance.

McCarter Theatre Center Acknowledges Supporters of 40th Anniversary Gala

To the Editor: McCarter Theatre Center’s Annual Gala on May 6 marked the 40th anniversary of this major fundraising event. Over that span, luminaries and legends such as Luciano Pavarotti, Carol Burnett, Gregory Peck, Dave Brubeck, Tony Bennett, Bob Newhart, and Lily Tomlin have graced our stage in support of the theatre.

This year longtime friend of McCarter, Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, performed for a packed-to-the-rafters theatre as the centerpiece of the evening.

Lending their support to this year’s Gala as Presenting Sponsors were BNY Mellon Wealth Management, Community Investment Strategies, and WIRB Copernicus Group.

Our Gold Sponsors include Bloomberg Philanthropies, CURE Auto Insurance, Drinker Biddle, Maiden Re, Mathematica Policy Research, Merrill Lynch, and PNC Wealth Management. We are deeply grateful for that support, and for that of many other corporate and individual sponsors and advertisers.

Special thanks go out to our Gala Committee and to Gala Committee Co-Chairpersons—Ed Matthews and Vilma Keri, Chris Foglio-Palmer and Doug Palmer, Reggie and Aliya Browne—who orchestrated a festive and glittering evening for our guests. We would also like to thank Sebastian Clarke of Rago Arts and Auction Center for conducting our live auction and Viburnum Designs of Princeton for assisting with our centerpieces.

We also want to give a special thanks to Princeton University for their longstanding support of this event and the theatre throughout the season.

The proceeds of this event are used to support McCarter’s artistic and educational programming throughout our region. More than 100,000 people annually — from the five county region and beyond — see a show at McCarter or participate in a McCarter class or workshop.

We’re so deeply grateful!

Latin American Legal Defense & Education Fund Thanks Those Who Helped With Community Meeting

To the Editor: The Latin American Legal Defense & Education Fund (LALDEF) would like to thank all those who helped make our May 24 Community Meeting on Immigration Issues such a success.

First and foremost we thank the 130 people who attended. We thank them for their recognition of these difficult times when people of conscience are standing together to support our immigrant friends and neighbors. For their desire and determination to do all they can at the local level to support those who share this space we call Princeton and Trenton. All this is more than appreciated.

Just as importantly, we thank the Nassau Presbyterian Church represented by the Reverend Dave Davis, Linda Gilmore, and Bill and Pam Wakefield. Their generosity in providing a beautiful meeting room, coffee and tea, A/V equipment, and arranging all the furniture was more than we could ask.

Finally, we thank our speakers: Princeton University Professors Alejandro Portes and Dan-el Padilla Peralta; Marisol Conde-hernandez, a dreamer who is about to receive her law degree from Rutgers after many years of struggle aided by LALDEF; Steven Puac a graduate of our FUTURO mentoring program who will enter haverford College next fall with a full scholarship; and two young women who found comfort in our No Estás Sóla (“You are not alone”) program for victims of domestic abuse.

If you would like to learn more about LALDEF or join in our work, please visit our website at www.laldef.org.

There you can explore our service programs and advocacy efforts, and find contacts for volunteering, visiting our headquarters Casa de Bienvenida (Welcoming house), or making a donation.

month at Chambers Walk for the HomeFront kids, and they were so enthusiastic.”

After that initial launching, the program has taken off to become a very important and popular feature at HomeFront’s new campus, with 200 clients taking part every year. “The whole purpose is to get families to learn how to cook on a low budget, using healthy ingredients for convenient eating,” said Ms. Pecora, whose volunteer work continues to focus on the kitchen.

“Chris Crawford is the supervisor and oversees the operation, and we have volunteer teachers. Eating well when money and time are limited can be a challenge for anyone, but depending on processed food and fast food because they are cheap can lead to a lifetime of health issues,” points out Ms. Pecora. “Our goal here is to empower clients with inexpensive meals that are good for you as well as convenient. For example, we try to make it easy and quick to prepare. The students will learn how to roast a chicken, and then have it all week as leftovers, when it can become salad, quesadillas, and soup.”

“Those who are helped in so many ways by HomeFront are truly in need, not only suffering from homelessness, but often from loss of hope,” explains Ms. Mercer. “So many people don’t understand the reality of HomeFront’s clients’ lives. It can be chaotic for them. So the cooking has to be convenient. They don’t have a vehicle, but have to rely on a bus to get where they’re going. It’s not easy. Always remember that HomeFront grew out of working with individual families, families that needed to claw their way out of poverty. HomeFront is about putting the pieces together and helping to create an environment where no homeless family and kids don’t get a shot at the future.”

With the help of financial donations and the time and effort of volunteers,

KIDS IN THE KITCHEN: Slicing, dicing, and mixing, under the encouraging guidance of HomeFront staff member Miss Tammi, are the focus of these boys, enjoying a class at HomeFront’s Teaching Kitchen. After their careful preparation and cooking, they are proud to eat and share what they have created.

the Teaching Kitchen took s hap e. T he lar ge f u l ly equipped, state-of-the-art facility contains six stations for different procedures, three electric stoves and three gas stoves.

Best Ingredient “We designed the kitchen so that one class can watch and observe and then another will be part of a working group,” explains Ms. Pecora. “We tried to include the same appliances that the families would have at their own home.”

In addition to the topof-the-line equipment, the kitchen is filled with a series of encouraging sentiments and sayings posted on the wall. For example: “The best ingredient is confidence. The best nutrient is love.” Also, “The Teaching Kitchen is a Place of Fun and Learning and Respect for All. Welcome!”

Typically, the classes are an hour and a half long once a week, and include seven to 14 students, with four or five volunteer teachers. Children’s ages range from 7 to 16. In addition, family unit classes, including parents, grandparents and children, are held once a month.

Three new monthly classes —Tasting Table, Manly Meals, and Family Traditions—have recently been added.

All ages are benefitting, and the enthusiasm is contagious, reports Ms. Mercer.

“People just love it. An older gentleman couldn’t wait to go home and make a dinner for his son. Another man said, ‘W hen can I come again?’ I have really been surprised by how much the men love participating in the cooking.”

Sometimes, they come in and are skeptical,” adds Ms. Pecora. “They see cooking as a chore, just one more thing they have to do. But, then they see how they can enjoy it, and the class can become a playground. They walk into the kitchen, feel the energy, and they think of it as craft time, when they see all the colorful ingredients and activity.

“One of my favor ite memories is of a little 8- or 9-year-old girl, stirring soup, looking at all the colorful ingredients, and saying ‘all the colors of the rainbow, and that is very good for my body.’”

Ripple Effect “It’s the ripple effect of the kitchen,” said Ms. Mercer.

“Kids see the importance of healthy eating, and they can come in and be empowered and engaged. A 9-year-old boy came in, and had never been to school. We sent him home with a bag of groceries, and he said, ‘This was the best day of my life!’”

A young woman in the program and mother of a young girl, recently commented on one of her favorite dishes.

“We learned how to make Chinese food with white rice, chicken, and broccoli. We learned the proper measurements, and we also learned how to budget and how much to spend on food.

ood health starts in the kitchen. Not at the local fast food establishment, or with a quick candy bar, bag of potato chips, or soda — as tempting and convenient as those options may be.

Sound nutrition and inexpensive meals are the foundation of HomeFront’s Teaching Kitchen program, which offers culinary classes for children, mothers, fathers, and grandparents. Emphasizing heathy ingredients and convenient low-budget meals, the classes not only help the participants with cooking skills, but also foster a true enjoyment of the creativity of cooking.

Located at HomeFront’s eight-and-a-half-acre Family Campus at 101 Celia Way in Ewing (near Mercer County Airport), the Teaching Kitchen began in 2015 under the guidance of longtime HomeFront volunteer June Pecora. She designed the kitchen, set up the program, and recruited chefs and volunteers.

“June is the guiding energy of the Teaching Kitchen,” says HomeFront Founder and Director Connie Mercer.

Cooking Class A Princeton resident, Ms. Pecora had supported HomeFront in various ways in the past. She says, “I donated and delivered my clothes, and wrote a check to HomeFront for years. Then, four years ago, I attended ‘A Day in the Life of HomeFront,’ a meeting with Connie and others, who talked about the scope of HomeFront. I was blown away when I realized how much it accomplishes and how many people they help.

“I went to the director of development and asked ‘What can I do?’ She said ‘What are you passionate about?’ Well, I love to cook!

So, I contacted a dear friend of mine, Mario Mangone, owner of Chambers Walk restaurant in Lawrenceville, and asked if we could have a cooking class there. He agreed, and I designed a class. We had one class a

it, and then we eat it!”

In another class, a little girl learned to make her favorite veggie wrap, and was very proud when she was asked by her mother to teach her how to make it at home.

Veggie wraps are ver y popular both as wraps and also as open face, pizzastyle. Another favorite dish is turkey stew, reports Ms. Pecora, and on special occasions, the aroma of treats like Christmas cookies wafts through the kitchen.

“I love to see a kid take a bite of what they have made and cut their own food,” she adds. “It builds self-esteem and raises the bar. It lets them know there are opportunities out there they didn’t even know about. This kitchen space is all about enabling people to stand up on their own. I just don’t think many people realize what the HomeFront clients are up against.”

HomeFront will also be spons or ing t wo general summer camp cooking programs in July and August for children 9 to 12 and another for college-bound students.

The $250 fee will support the HomeFront mission to end homelessness in central New Jersey.

In its 25 -year histor y, HomeFront has become a multi-faceted organization that helps homeless people and those in need in numerous ways. It provides emergency shelter, food, clothing, affordable housing, educational opportunities, and job training and placement.

The Teaching Kitchen is now an important part of that mission. As Ms. Mercer points out, “HomeFront’s great benefit is that it gives people a vision of a different future and the tools to get there. So they can realize their vision. The Teaching Kitchen is a perfect example of what we do.”

Local Grass Roots continued from page one

something like this before.

We’ve become part of this national grass roots movement. We are a local, actionoriented group formed to stand up for what we believe in and elect officials who feel the same.”

The group e-mails subscribers an update each week. The most recent one included the news about former FBI Director Robert Mueller being appointed special counsel to oversee the investigation of Mr. Trump’s campaign, calling it “the first big piece of bipartisanship since the new administration took effect. A win for all.” Links to a New York Times story about newly-elected French President Emmanuel Macron appointing an equal number of men and women to his cabinet; a Huffington Post article about Planned Parenthood; and a citizen activist training session are also in the mailing.

Monthly meetings are held in the founders’ homes.

Past speakers have included journalist Kathleen Biggins, whose presentation was about climate change; Princeton Councilwoman Heather Howard, whose talk focused on health care; and Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, who spoke at the group’s February meeting.

The June 12 gathering of the group will be a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood.

So far, all of the meetings have been held in the organizers’ homes. “We want to keep the meetings at our houses,” Ms. Castro said. “Our whole platform is based on reaching likeminded people who are really busy, but can just stop by, have a glass of wine, and talk about these important issues. The feel of Princeton Marching Forward really belongs in the home.”

While the emphasis is on those whose political views tend toward the left, the group is not opposed to hearing from the other side.

“We see ourselves as positive, and highly patriotic,” said Ms. Castro. “We welcome people with different views. We’re actually thinking about trying to bring in some speakers for the fall who wouldn’t completely align with our views.”

The Planned Parenthood fundraiser on June 12, at 7:30 p.m., is geared not only to raising money, but also to raising awareness for New Jersey elections and how they relate to women’s health and reproductive rights. Featured speakers are Christine Sadovy, the legislative and political director of Planned Parenthood of Central and Greater Northern New Jersey; and Sean Hoey, the organization’s field director.

“We know elections matter,” said Ms. Castro. “New Jersey is one of only two states with elections this year — the governorship and 120 seats in the New Jersey Legislature are up for grabs, and the nation will be watching. What happens in New Jersey will set the tone for the midterm elections nationwide in 2018.”

The suggested donation is $50, but all are welcome to attend and donate what they can. Visit princetonmarchingforward@gmail.com for details and to be put on the mailing list.

Starting Princeton Marching For ward has been a learning experience for its founders. “We felt like we had to do this for our own psyches,” Ms. Castro said. “It has really snowballed. And it has been really educational, rewarding, and fun.”

Art Student’s “Bird Woman” Photos at D&R Greenway Gallery

“Bird Woman of the Sourlands – Hannah Suthers Bird Banding,” featuring dramatic close-up portraits of Hannah Suthers and her legendary bird-banding program, is at D&R Greenway’s Ol iv ia R a i nb ow G a l ler y through June 16. Princeton Day School student Erica Walsh took the images at Ms. Suthers’ Featherbed Lane banding station. Ms. Walsh is a student of PDS photography teacher Eileen Hohmuth-Lemonick.

It was at her teacher’s suggestion that Ms. Walsh join Ms. Suthers and her team

of volunteers and graduate students as they began their seasonal dawn patrol of migrating birds deep in a Sourland forest. Intimate views of rare species, briefly wrapped in mist nets, vie for attention with studies of Ms. Suthers’ intense gaze and venerable hands as she directs capture and release.

Ms. Walsh also captured images in Ms. Suthers’ study, where she is licensed to rehabilitate injured and/or orphaned birds brought in all seasons.

The Featherbed Lane Bird Banding Station Important Bird Area (IBA) is a research and monitoring project was initiated by Ms. Suthers, a biologist, in 1977. The FLBBS is among the longest-running bird banding stations in the United States.

For decades, D&R Green-

way has been known for intense concentration upon preserving essential Hopewell Sourland acreage.

The park now covers 3,025 acres. This contiguous forest sources essential water supplies, as well protecting and nourishing countless bird species. Hannah Suthers’ research proved the value of the Sourlands not only in breeding season, but throughout challenging spring and fall migrations. For decades, Hanna S ut hers rode her hors e along Hopewell’s Featherbed Lane, tallying birds in the changing forest, before commuting to Pr inceton University for her position as a research assistant. Ms. Suthers’ spreadsheets maintained over many years became crucial evidence as D&R Greenway Land Trust

and others began linking preserved open space along the Ridge. Bands affixed in the Sourlands were returned from Costa Rica, where crucial species flew to winter.

Washington Crossing Audubon Society funds two birdmonitoring sites in Central New Jersey and in Costa R ica, prov iding data on both breeding and wintering populations of vulnerable neotropical migratory songbirds.

Erica Walsh, a PDS senior, not only produced this important body of work at the banding station, but is also “tremendously grateful for having been given this opportunity to learn during days spent helping Hannah.”

She will continue her photography studies at Bard College in the fall.

Ms. Walsh’s art may be viewed from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays in D &R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, Princeton. For fur ther information, call (609) 924-4646.

RECORD REVIEW

50 Years After “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” Life Flows On

I

t’s a familiar sight in Beatles lore, a theatre full of girls screaming and swooning to “She Loves You” and “Twist and Shout.” The scene in question was filmed

by Pathe news in late November 1963 in Manchester. It’s striking how small and brittle the Beatles look this early in their career, upstaged by the hysteria, out of their depth, the mastered masters performing charades of frenzy on cue while the audience responds with the sobbing, shrieking passion of the real thing. But it’s more than mere frenzy these radiant girls are expressing, it’s the ecstasy of feeling free to let go, sob, laugh, dance, scream, be delirious.

There’s no way to write about the 50th anniversar y of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band without mentioning last week’s terrorist attack at the massive Manchester Arena, where dozens of teenage girls died or were injured, some of them no doubt the grandchildren of the girls experiencing Beatlemania half a century ago in the same city. The girls leaving the Ariana Grande concert, part of the Dangerous Woman tour, had apparently been enjoying another more empowering form of freedom through their identification with a young female singer who had made the transition from girlhood to stardom to the ideal of womanly confidence spelled out in the tour’s title.

“They’ve Done It Again!”

Ariana Grande has been sending her 159 million followers on Instagram and Twitter post-Manchester messages of “kindness, strength, and oneness.” The equivalent of social media for the Beatles 50 years ago was the release of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band on the first of June 1967. The week the much anticipated album came out their music was everywhere and strangers were asking “Have you heard it yet?” and saying “They’ve done it again!” No need to specify what the “it” was or who the “they” were. Decades before the internet, millions worldwide were sharing the excitement, absorbing the same message of joy, love, and wonder. By the time John Lennon sang “I’d love to turn you on,” the last words of the album, most of us felt we were already there, whatever “turned on” meant. Dazed, dumbfounded, and disoriented after the last great orchestral orgasm, we were shaking our heads and wondering what hit us.

When Lennon sings that line in “A Day in the Life,” he’s not simply talking about getting high: he’s telling you to open your eyes. Paul McCartney called it “a deliberate provocation”: “what we really wanted was to turn you on to the truth rather than just bloody pot.” Whatever it is, whatever it does to the listener, it sounds a century away from the opening’s number’s quaint, “You’re such a lovely audience we’d like to take you home with us.”

Yes, and right now you can take home the 50th anniversary 2 CD set, which went on sale Friday at the Princeton Record Exchange featuring Giles Martin’s stereo remix of the material produced by his fa-

ther George, who died last year at 90.

Among the previously unreleased takes of all 13 tracks on the second disc are stereo mixes of “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Penny Lane.” Recorded during the same sessions but left off the LP, both songs, both legends, were launched as a two-sided single four months ahead of the mother ship. The clear message of that sensational double whammy was that something beyond our wildest dreams was coming in the spring.

Two Big Bangs Sgt. Pepper was destined to be everything we wanted, needed, and were primed for, and when it finally arrived, we didn’t care that some of the songs, however brilliantly produced and performed, were not in the same league as the ones on previous albums like Rubber Soul and Revolver. The unifying concept of a music hall montage helped, but what lifted the album to another level were special moments as when the sublimity of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” follows t he earthy euphoria of “With a Little Help from My Friends,” and the way the lush Indian interlude of George Harrison’s “Within You, Without You” op ens S ide 2, which ends above and beyond everything else with “A Day i n t he Life” and the Big Bang.

The two Big Bangs.

No one had warned us that a full orchestra would set chaos to music each time John sang “I’d love to turn you on.” Some found it upsetting, even off-putting. Did we really need a weaponized orchestra ascending to apocalypse in a Beatles album?

What happened to those four guys bouncing around like rock’n’roll marionettes less than four years ago in Manchester? It was as if the Beatles had put rock in a rocket and fired it at the sun, producing a sonic boom that rattled the firmament.

Imagine going from “She Loves You” to “He blew his mind out in a car,” from the equivalent of a social media message as primal as “yeah-yeah-yeah” to songs about “newspaper taxis … waiting to take you away …. Climb in the back with your head in the clouds and you’re gone.” Somehow the Fab Four had moved from “you know that can’t be bad” to the news of the day, sudden death and war, and metaphysically sinister innuendoes wherein 4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire became 4,000 people filling the Albert Hall. Then came

Lennon’s “I’d love to turn you on” as the music swirled and surged toward something unearthly, a high, a dream, the Rapture, maybe the end of everything — then boom! Twice! And then the last thunderous chord struck simultaneously on what sounded like a thousand pianos filling the hushed aftershock.

At first George Martin wanted no part of McCartney’s suggestion that a full orchestra be brought in to “freak out” creating “crazy crescendoes.” He rolled his eyes when Lennon told him it should “sound like the end of the world.” Martin later confessed, “One part of me said ‘We’re being a bit self-indulgent, we’re going a little bit over the top,’ and the other part of me said ‘It’s bloody marvelous! I think it’s fantastic!’” When a visitor from the U.S. was treated to a preview of “A Day in the Life,” he did a handstand and Martin knew his worries “were over.”

Darker Directions The trajectory from Beatlemania to Sgt. Pepper and beyond, the movement from publicist’s joyride to worldwide phenomenon revolutionizing media and society, presages the labyrinthine wonders and horrors of the internet. As the force of fame gained momentum and the resources at the group’s disposal bec a m e more sophisticated and powerful and far-reaching, the music began moving in darker directions, whether by accident or design, half-knowingly, by chance, or in the spirit of a cosmic dare. It happens in Revolver with the morbid grandeur of Lennon’s “She Said She Said” (“I know what it’s like to be dead”); the near demonic relentlessness of Harrison’s “I Want to Tell You,” and finally with “Tomorrow Never Knows,” where Lennon blends the Tibetan Book of the Dead with the soundtrack of a Grade B jungle movie.

No wonder it was around this time that the “Paul Is Dead” rumors began, the mass paranoia continuing with Sgt Pepper, McCartney’s supposed death in an auto accident signified by the “he blew his mind out in a car” line in “A Day in the Life,” where the middle section is sung by Paul who goes “into a dream” between the two big doomy orchestral statements. The dark side is all the more present a year later on the White Album’s “Blackbird,” “Piggies,” “Revolution No 9,” and “Helter Skelter,” material that eventually found its

way into the mind of Charles Manson.

John Lennon’s Aria The apocalyptic denouement makes it possible to mention Sgt. Pepper in the same breath with catastrophes like the assassination of Kennedy, the 9/11 attacks, the violations of life, liberty, and music at the Bataclan in Paris and the Manchester Arena. But beyond paranoia, like the light on the dark side, the genius of Sgt Pepper and the Beatles is ultimately positive, as Leonard Bernstein knew when he said “Three bars in ‘A Day in the Life’ still sustain me, rejuvenate me, inflame my senses and sensibilities.”

I don’t know which three bars sustained and rejuvenated Bernstein, but for me the revelation on this return to Sgt. Pepper was the wordless aria Lennon sings after the interlude written and sung by McCartney, who, in effect gets up, shaves, drinks a cup of tea, catches a doubledecker bus, finds his way upstairs, has a smoke, and then, “Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.” Formally speaking, when Paul’s boyhood mate and songwriting partner vocalizes the dream on his way back to singing “I read the news today oh boy,” it’s only a link, a bridge, a transition, but in the context of the Lennon-McCartney relationship, it’s something movingly significant. John has spoken in interviews of the “beautiful little lick” Paul came up with for “I’d love to turn you on,” a line that “he’d had floating around in his head.” In another interview John says, “Paul and I were definitely working together, especially on ‘A Day in the Life’ …. I would sing half, and he would be inspired to write the next bit and vice versa.”

Another choice Lennon-McCartney blending happens when John sings the part of the parents while Paul sings lead in ‘She’s Leaving Home.’”

“We’re All One” Thinking back to Manchester, still haunted by the two events, images of girls screaming in joy merging with images of girls running for their lives, I only hope that the music they came for will ultimately be, whatever form it takes, the force that “sustains” and “rejuvenates” them, their consolation, if not their salvation. Of all the songs on Sgt. Pepper, the most healing is George Harrison’s, which ends with these words, “When you’ve seen beyond yourself, you may find that peace of mind is waiting there, and the time will come when you see we’re all one and life flows within you and without you.” ater in the month of Sgt. Pepper’s release, the Beatles performed for an estimated 400 million people on Our World, the first-ever live worldwide television broadcast. The song was one John wrote and sang, his voice at once wistful and passionate, angry and aching, singing “No one you can save that can’t be saved,” aware that people everywhere were listening, singing as if he really believed he and his band could save the world. The song was “All You Need Is Love.”

trip.

The film is the fourth in the series that is based on Jeff Kinney’s illustrated children’s novels. It was directed by David Bowers who also made Wimpy Kid 2 and 3.

The movie features an entirely new cast, starting with Jason Drucker as the title character, wimpy Greg Heffley; Alicia Silverstone and Tom Everett Scott are his parents, Susan and Frank; and Charlie Wright and Dylan Walters are Greg’s older and younger brothers, Rodrick and Manny, respectively.

Wimpy Kid 4 is about a family’s cross-country outing to attend their grandma’s 90th birthday party. The mother Susan sees the drive as an opportunity for the family to

bond together, so she collects everybody’s cell phones before departing.

This frustrates her children, who find it boring without their electronic devices. Rodrick calls her “the worst mom ever” and sticks a “kidnapped” sign in the rear window that leads to their being pulled over by the police.

Other eventful stops range from an overnight stay in a motel with rats in the pool and a visit to a country fair where Manny wins a live piglet as a prize. The humor flowing from the escalating insanity is mostly of the bodily function variety.

Every skit is designed to keep the target audience of young children in stitches, with only occasional asides for adults, such as the inspired homage to Psycho’s legendary shower scene.

Very Good (HHH). Rated PG for rude humor. Running time: 91 minutes. Distributor: 20th Century Fox. —Kam Williams

Howe Comes a Long Way in Her PU Crew Career, Helping Tiger Open 1V Boat Place 9th at NCAAs

G

eorgie Howe came a long way to join the Princeton University women’s open rowing program.

Hailing from down under in Melbourne, Australia, Howe was attracted by the combination of academics and athletics offered by Princeton.

“Back home, there is not the communication between the universities and the sporting bodies to allow you to be a student athlete like you can in the states,” said Howe.

“I have had friends who had to defer a year here, a semester there. It takes them upwards of 4-5 years to complete their degree whereas we do it in four and we row at a level that is insane.”

Over the last four years, Howe has come a long way on and off the water.

“It has been a fantastic experience and I have grown as a person with the distance,” said the affable, reddish blonde-haired Howe, speaking with an Australian twang.

“I never had an extended period of time away from home before. I went to day school at home and maybe a rowing camp. I came here and I am away for 12 months. It is a big shift.”

Last Sunday, senior stand-

out Howe had her final rowing experience for Princeton, competing for the open varsity 8 as it took third in the B final at the NCAA championships on Mercer Lake in West Windsor to finish ninth overall nationally in its division. Princeton clocked a time of 6:47.813 over the 2,000-meter course with Ohio State winning the race in 6:45.654 and Brown taking second in 6:47.459.

“We knew it was going to be a fight, unfortunately we didn’t have the legs to hold it all the way through,” said Howe, whose boat narrowly missed qualifying for the top six and the grand final when it took fourth in its semifinal heat on Saturday.

“Kudos to Ohio State, they are a great crew to race. Brown is a great crew to race. They all went out with a point to prove, the petite final is all about pride, racing for pride. You didn’t make the grand but you sure as hell want to race like you were.”

While Princeton was hoping to end the season with a win, Howe had no qualms with how the boat raced as it jumped into the lead at the start and was in first at the 1,000-meter mark.

“I wanted us row a great piece; we have had such a great season and we de-

served to finish it off with a great piece,” said Howe, who rowed from the five-seat for the Tigers.

“We let it all out, that is all I could ask for her boat, three of us are seniors and going on but there are six of us returning. The team has a really bright future and if they remember this feeling, they will never want to do that again, being on the wrong side of the bubble.”

Howe will always remember what the top boat accomplished this spring as it went 11-0 in regular season competition and placed first at the Ivy League Championships.

“It has been such a great boat, we get along so well, we just jelled as boat,” said Howe, a team co-captain this year along with classmate Catherine Babiec.

“There was some mixing and matching, it takes a team to make a fast 1V. Everyone was pushing each other. We had an undefeated season; there aren’t many teams that can say they have

done that and have won the Ivy League.”

Getting pushed by Tiger head coach Lori Dauphiny has helped bring out the best in Howe.

“Princeton rowing has really shaped me as a person; I firmly believe to better the rower, you have to first better the person,” said Howe.

“I think Lori Dauphiny does that to a tee. She is an incredible coach, one of the best in Princeton’s history across all sports. She is a phenomenal woman, really a testament to sport. She empowers us, she teaches us, she pushes us. She is never one to sugarcoat. I credit my development as a person to her.”

Princeton head coach Dauphiny, for her part, didn’t sugarcoat things in her postrace analysis of the varsity 8 last Sunday.

“I think they had a good race today, I think it was their best but unfortunately I don’t think we made the speed gains we would have liked to between the Ivy Championships and the national championships,” said Dauphiny.

“We did have room for im-

provement and we didn’t go as far with it as we should have.”

The second varsity experienced a similar fate as it placed fourth in the B final for its division.

“The 2V also could have made more speed gains, those two 8s train side by side quite a bit,” said Dauphiny, reflecting on a race won by Texas in 6:48.03 with Yale taking second in 6:49.793, Stanford finishing third in 6:50.220 and Princeton clocking a time of 6:51.088 as it came in fourth.

“I think for the 2V, they made gains within the regatta. Each race was a little bit better. They put it all out there in that race and in doing so, probably took the risk of getting rowed into. I think both boats, the 1V and the 2V did that. They went out hard, they put it all out in the line, they dug deep but it wasn’t enough. We need to be faster.”

Dauphiny credited her seniors with giving their all during their time at Princeton.

“I will miss them terribly, they will always be a part

of our team and our boathouse,” said Dauphiny.

“They are very emotional now. I think they have had a great four years. One thing that can’t be taken away is their undefeated season and the Ivy championships. That was awesome, we would have liked to done better here but that was an accomplishment of the team and very much our senior leadership all the way through the program.”

Howe, for her part, is heading back down under after graduation, fired up to accomplish even more in the sport.

“I am really looking forward to going home for a little bit, maybe trying to mix it up with the training center back home,” said Howe.

“I want to keep rowing, 2020 [the Tokyo Summer Games] is the eventual goal.

Lori is in my corner for that and I can’t ask for a better person in my corner.”

Emily Erdos and the Princeton University women’s open varsity 4 didn’t have a smooth ride in their road to the NCAA championships.

“It took a while for this boat to jell throughout the season,” said sophomore coxswain Erdos, a native of Harvard, Mass.

“We would overcome different struggles and tensions within the boat. I think our biggest enemy coming into the weekend was ourselves.”

Dealing with some injuries in the last week of training, the boat focused on the moment once it hit the water at Mercer Lake last week for the national competition.

“We had to rally coming into this,” asserted Erdos, who guided the boat to a second place in its opening heat on Friday.

“I think we did a good job of turning around our mindset and stepping up for each race and putting our best foot forward.

The boat stepped up in

historic fashion in the semifinal on Saturday, producing a strong sprint over the last 500 meters to take third, becoming only the sixth V4 in Princeton open rowing history to reach the NCAA grand final.

“It was pretty unreal for us,” said Erdos, noting that the boat was seeded 10th coming into the competition and was the only double-digit seed to make this year’s grand final.

“It was something that I don’t think a lot of people imagine that we could do and we didn’t imagine that we could do until we were in that kind of situation. It was pretty exhilarating.”

While the boat ended up sixth in the grand final as it clocked a time of 7:25.406 ove r t h e 2,0 0 0 - m e te r course, Erdos was happy with the effort.

“We were aiming to work with the other crews on the water and see where we were,” said Erdos, reflecting on the race which was won by top-seeded Washington in a time of 7:07.103.

“Because we have two seniors in the boat we were looking to put out our best race and leave the water with no regrets and feel like we put everything into the race. I don’t think we could have done anything differently.”

Princeton head coach Lori Dauphiny was proud of how the V4 raced at the NCAA regatta.

“It was great for the varsity 4 to be in the final, it was awesome to see them get there,” said Dauphiny.

“It is not an easy road; it is a big fight from start to finish so I was really proud of them and their performance. They have had a solid year and have continued improving throughout the season.”

Erdos, for her part, will be using her experience last weekend as a springboard for continued improvement.

“Last year I was in the 2V so it was a different experience being in the four,” said Erdos.

“Each boat adapts to its situation. I think this fires us up for next year and I am pretty fired up.”

Looking to Build on Big Day at Eastern Sprints, Princeton Men’s Heavyweights Primed for IRAs Bat tling through some nasty weather conditions, the Princeton Universit y men’s heavyweight rowing program enjoyed a big day at the Eastern Sprints earlier this month.

Undeterred by the wind and rain whipping through the course at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass. during the May 14 regatta, Princeton made the medal stand in four races, winning the second varsity 8 and taking third in the first varsity 8, third varsity 8, and the fourth varsity 8.

Princeton head coach Greg Hughes credited his rowers with showing character and skill in achieving that medal haul.

“It was a crazy day, it was my 24th year at the Eastern Sprints and I thought I had seen it all and I hadn’t,” said Hughes with a chuckle.

“It was a full blown Northeaster, we had a 42 degree temperature, driving rain, and winds out of the north, which was a direct tailwind on the course at 20-22 mph.

It was really, really gritty conditions for racing and the team stepped up. Those are hard conditions to race in and execute in, especially in six-boat racing especially where you have much going on. To make it cleanly through those heats with all of our boats and then to be able to come back four or five hours later and step up in the finals was great.”

The second varsity’s performance was a highlight of the regatta as it clocked a time of 5:35.573 in taking first with Yale coming in second in 5:38.030.

NOW ENROLLING FOR FALL 2017!

GRAND ACHIEVEMENT: The Princeton University open varsity 4 powers its way to a sixth place finish in the grand final at the NCAA Championships last Sunday on Mercer Lake. The boat was only the sixth V4 in open program history to reach the NCAA grand final.

“That 2V is an impressive boat; the 1V and the 2V have been really competitive with each other all year,” said Hughes.

“We have a deep top group on the team, there is a lot of guys who have been mixing between those groups. I think it showed where that depth is so that was exciting. They won that race by a little bit of open water and set a new course record.”

Hughes is hoping for calmer waters but more exciting performances as Princeton heads west for the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship regatta which is taking place in Sacramento, Calif. from June 2-4.

“It is an incredible venue out there the way that they have it organized,” said Hughes.

“It is an impressive set up that Sacramento State has created. It is awesome for the athletes, they feel like they are at a real championship. It is great for the fans.”

Over the last few weeks, the Tigers have been focusing on fundamentals as they gear up for a championship effort.

“We changed up a little bit, we spent some time just training,” said Hughes.

“We mixed the boats up and started doing some longer, slower, harder work. It was back to basics a little bit to build some base and endurance. Then we started putting some lineups together. so there are a couple of changes in all of the lineups, whether it is personnel

or where people are sitting in those boats. We had an opportunity to try adjust all the boats to make them all faster. I think it has been good, the boats have been moving well.”

Hughes is hoping to consolidate those gains as the team was based at the University of California over Memorial Day weekend.

“We go out and spend four days training out of the Cal boathouse up on the Briones reservoir, we stay right in Berkeley,” said Hughes, lau d i ng pro g r a m r igger Steve Hujber for doing yeoman’s work in getting the boats across the country.

“It is awesome, it is a beautiful venue. It is isolated up in the Berkeley hills. It really brings the team together.

We are no longer dealing with guys racing from class so there are no distractions.

The guys can really focus in on what they are doing. The weather is great, they are done with school. It is a really fun way to have the last week of the season.

Princeton is hoping to have a lot of fun at the IRA regatta. “We know that the west coast programs are strong again this year, they have been mixing it up, they have been having some great battles,” said Hughes, whose varsity 8 took third in the 2016 IRAs with the 2V coming in second and the 3V taking first.

“We have seen in the last couple of years that the east coast is good too and I believe we are. So our goal is to gain some speed, be in that mix, and then it comes down to the racing.”

PU Sports Roundup PU Lax Player Finkelston Wins Unsung Hero Award

Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Abby Finkelston has been named as a winner of the 2017 YRL Unsung Hero Award presented by the One Love Foundation.

The award is given annually to a male and a female Division I lacrosse player who demonstrate dedication, integr it y, humilit y, hard work, community service, leadership, kindness and sportsmanship — all qualities the late Yeardley

Love exemplified throughout her life. Numerous schools submitted nominations for the award and ten finalists were chosen. Liam Driscoll of Holy Cross was chosen as the male honoree.

“It is an honor to present Liam Driscoll and Abby Finkelston with the 2017 YRL Unsung Hero Award,” said Yeardley’s cousin and committee member Gregg Langhoff.

“Liam and Abby have demonstrated what it means to be an unsung hero. The work they’ve done in their communities exemplifies what a fully rounded student-athlete can accomplish.”

After sustaining severe injuries in a car accident in high school, Finkelston re-

bounded to become a starting attacker for Princeton in both her freshman and sophomore years.

This year, she had another setback with hip injuries that took her off the playing field. Through all of this, Finkelston has been a positive leader for her team.

She even used her injury to help others in similar circumstances by founding the Wounded Tigers Network, a resource and support for injured student-athletes at Princeton. In addition to being an exemplary studentathlete, Finkelston has also been a longtime member of Best Buddies and is actively involved in its Princeton chapter.

“With Abby, it is never about what she can get, but always about what she can give,” said Princeton head coach Chris Sailer.

“I am so proud of her for remaining an integral part of our team after her serious injuries. She conceived a way to make a positive difference and remained upbeat, always having the best interests of the team at heart.”

Finkelston, for her part, said she had be inspired by Love’s example. “The legacy of Yeardley Love is one that will never fade away in the lacrosse community and I believe Yeardley’s life has united all of us in a truly remarkable way,” said Finkelston.

“Without even knowing Yeardley personally, she has impacted my life tremendously and from this day forward I aspire to make her proud.”

Wit h Pr inceton High boys’ lacrosse team knotted in a 4-4 nail-biter at Roxbury High in the North Jersey Group 3 sectional semifinals last Wednesday, Jake White got the chance to be a hero.

Racing down the field on a break, PHS senior attacker White gathered in a pass from classmate Justin Marciano and ripped the ball home to put the Little Tigers up 5 - 4 w ith 10 :18 lef t in regulation.

“J u s t i n w as r u n n i n g down the side, he is really fast and always has his head up so I knew if I cut through, he would find me,” said White, recalling his tally. “I was in the right position so I just let it fly.”

White was hoping the goal would extend his career but second-seeded Roxbury responded with two unanswered goals, the last coming with four seconds left in regulation, to pull out a 6-5 win over the sixth-seeded Little Tigers.

“I really believed we had it but they fought hard; they are a really good team,” said White.

“They had a really good possession there at the end and that was tough.”

As PHS players walked off the field in double file towards their bus, their toughness was recognized as suppor ters of bot h teams gave them a round of applause.

“It was an awesome year, we showed a lot of fight,” said White. “On and off the field, this is the closest team I have ever been on. We never give up.”

The Little Tigers saved their best for last this s e as on, b e at i ng 11t h seeded Wayne Hills 14-7 in the first round of the sectional and then stunning third-seeded Northern Highlands 3-2 in the quarters.

“We just hit stride at the right time,” said White.

“We moved the ball better, our offense was clicking. We started running a zone and our defense, which is aways our strong point, has been spectacular.”

White clicked in his final campaign with the Little Tigers, emerging as a key contributor on attack.

“I definitely had a lot bigger role this year than I have had in past years,” said White, who scored four goals in the win over Wayne Hills and ended with 15 goals on the season.

“I k new when O wen [Smith] went down, I had to step up. All my teammates have been complementing me great. I know that if I work off ball, Johnny [ LopezOna] and Justin and all of those guys will always find me.”

PHS head coach Chip Casto liked the way his guys battled against Roxbury.

“Once again we played real well six-on-six, they didn’t get much until the end and it was the unset-

tled stuff when we turned the ball over,” said Casto, who got two goals from senior Eamonn McDonald in the loss with Marciano chipping in a goal and two assists and senior LopezOna contributing a goal and an assist.

“When any team turns the ball over in the middle of the field, you get transition.”

Casto was thrilled to see White cash in on the transition play in the fourth quarter.

“It was one of the best goals of the year; that kid is the epitome of what the whole program is about, getting better every day, every week, every month, and every year,” said Casto.

“He started as a little, skinny guy and he rips one in the semifinals of

the sectional.”

As in past years, PHS got better and better as the season went on.

“We have talked about it all year and it has been the strength of our schedule,” said Casto.

“Play ing really good teams prepared us for games like this. We are so proud of how they played at the end of the year.

They started to believe, they love each other. We had a great season.”

The squad’s defensive unit played particularly well down the stretch.

“They are making the adjustments at the quarter and the timeouts, saying coach, ‘I think we should do this and the other,’” said Casto.

“S o t hey are pay ing attention, they are well schooled. Both goalies

[Leo Godefroy and Sawyer Peck] played great, it is good stuff.”

The Little Tigers got a lot of good stuff from its group of seniors over their careers.

“They were tremendous; we knew this would come four years ago and that they would do something special,” said Casto.

“We are one moment away. This is the fif th straight year losing at this level so we have got to keep working.”

W h ite, for h i s p ar t, e nj oye d work i n g w it h his classmates over the years.

“It was a really fun experience, I have a lot of great memories with all these guys,” said White, who is headed to Bucknell University where he may play club lacrosse.

“I have been playing with all of them since middle school and elementary school.”

Senior White Goes Out With Final Salvo As PHS Boys’ Lax Edged in State Tourney

WHITE KNIGHT: Princeton High boys’ lacrosse player Jake White races upfield in recent action. Last Wednesday, senior attackman White scored a fourth quarter goal to give sixthseeded PHS a 5-4 lead at second-seeded Roxbury in the semifinals of the North Jersey Group 3 tournament. Roxbury, though, responded with two unanswered goals, the last coming with four seconds left in regulation, to pull out a 6-5 win. The defeat left the Little Tigers with a final record of 10-9.

Lopez-Ona Displays Shooting Skill in Defeat As PHS Girls’ Lax Falls in Sectional Semis Before Mariana LopezOna joined the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team in the spring of 2016, she received some home schooling on the fine points of the game.

With older sister, Emilia, having starred for the PHS girls’ lacrosse team and gone on to play at Penn and older brother, Johnny, a current senior standout for the Little Tiger boys’ squad, the Lopez-Ona backyard turned into a lax proving ground.

“It was definitely like a competition,” said LopezOna. “When we were younger, we would go outside and play keep away with each other. It was always like a big fight between all of us.”

Those battles helped the youngest Lopez-Ona sharpen her skills. “My sister helped me a lot with the draw, my shooting, and everything,” added Lopez-Ona. “With Johnny, having the influence of the boys’ game really helps even though they

are slightly different. You get more perspective and different shooting styles.”

Last week, sophomore star midfielder Lopez-Ona displayed her shooting prowess, scoring a team-high four goals in a losing cause as second-seeded PHS fell 13-10 to third-seeded Rancocas Valley in the semifinals of the Central Jersey Group 4 Tournament.

Having lost 11-9 to Rancocas Valley in a regular season contest in April 1, PHS was determined to get out of the gate quickly in the playoff rematch. With LopezOna scoring two goals in the first three minutes of the May 23 contest, the Little Tigers jumped out to a 3-2 lead. The foes, though, were knotted at 7-7 by halftime and Rancocas Valley went on a 4-1 run over the last 15 minutes of regulation to pull out the victory.

“We started out strong, we really wanted it,” said Lopez-Ona, reflecting on

CARRYING THE LOAD: Princeton High girls’ lacrosse player Mariana Lopez-Ona carries the ball up the field in recent action.

The defeat in the May 23 contest left the Little Tigers with a final record of 14-8.

the setback which left PHS with a final record of 14-8.

“We still worked hard to the end, they played a good game and we could have cleaned up a little more.”

Lopez-Ona worked well together with freshman standout Shaylah Marciano, who chipped in a goal and two assists in the defeat.

“I have known her forever, we played together in PG Lax,” said Lopez-Ona, who assisted on Marciano’s goal.

“I am really good friends with her and I love having her on the field. I am really to happy to have the next few years with her.”

Coming into this year, Lopez-Ona was looking to be sharper at the offensive end of the field.

“Between my freshman and this year, I really tried to be more consistent with my shooting and take smarter shots,” said Lopez-Ona, who scored a team-high 86 goals this spring for the Little Tigers.

“I think I accomplished that; I hope my shooting was more advantageous for the team.”

While PHS was hoping to accomplish more in the state tournament, Lopez-Ona believes the team made a lot of progress this spring.

“We definitely gave our seniors a good final year,” said Lopez-Ona. “We improved a lot. We got a lot better towards the end of the season. I think this game showed this; we played hard to the end and didn’t give up.”

In the view of Lopez-Ona, the Little Tigers should keep getting better and better going forward.

“We have a good future; we have a lot of really good freshmen and this was our coach’s [Sara Doran] first year and we still did really well,” said Lopez-Ona. “I t h i n k i n u p c om i n g years, as we develop more of a relationship with her and as the team builds, we will continue growing.”

Featuring Some Breakthrough Performances, PHS Boys’ Track Finishes 3rd in Sectionals While Franklin Township High dominated the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional boys’ track meet last weekend, as expected, the Princeton High squad produced some landmark performances.

In taking third with 54 points behind champion Franklin (124) and runner up Old Bridge (68), the Little Tigers showed strength across the board, garnering a number of top six finishes needed to qualify for the state Group 4 meet taking place on June 2-3 at Egg Harbor.

In the field events, freshman Simon Schenk won the pole vault while sophomore Paul Brennan prevailed in the discus and placed fifth in the shot put, junior Varun Narayan took sixth in both the long jump and triple jump, and sophomore Nils Wildberg was fifth in the long jump.

On the track, senior Alex Roth won the 3,200 while junior Will Hare was second in the 3,200 and third in the 1,600. In addition, Roth and Hare helped the 4x800 relay to take fourth.

In the view of associate head coach Ben Samara, a lot of positives came out of the meet for PHS. “We felt like we had a really strong weekend, we were really proud to see the boys finish third,” said Samara.

“It was another step forward for our program.”

Schenk took a huge step forward in the pole vault, setting a personal best and school record of 14’7.

“It was huge, it is No. 1 in the state and he is a freshman so that is pretty wild,” said Samara, noting that Schenk’s previous personal best was 13’0.

“He and coach [Joe] Gargione have been talking about getting on some bigger poles, holding a little higher and making some adjustments after county meet where he struggled a little

bit. The process started on Tuesday, he really got back on track and cleared 13 at the freshman /sophomore meet. It was a huge breakthrough, he went a foot and a half higher than before and we really think there is more there.”

Throwing star Brennan produced a breakthrough performance of his own, winning the discus with a heave of 173’5 and taking fifth in the shot put with a best throw of 50’5.5.

“He was very encouraged because he bounced back in the shot and broke 50 feet again,” said Samara.

“That was springboard for the discus; his first throw was a personal best so it was all easy from there. He is the favorite going into groups, I think he is the state No. 3 or 4 right now, top 5 for sure.”

The team’s top jumpers, Wi l db e r g a n d Na r ay a n, didn’t have an easy road as they battled against some elite competition. Wildberg jumped 21’6.5 in taking fifth in the long jump while Narayan had a top jump of 21’5.25 to finish sixth. In the triple jump, Narayan soared a personal best 43’3.25 for his sixth place finish.

“Things were dicey for a while, it is the toughest section in the state and they really proved it,” said Samara.

“Our guys rose to the challenge. Varun had another fantastic personal best in the long jump. The guys always seem to do what is needed.”

In the distance events, senior star Roth rebounded from an eighth-place finish in the 1,600 to clock a time of 9:27.21 in winning the 3,200. Junior standout Hare was a model of consistency, running 4:23.29 to finish third in the 1,600 and then going 9:29.50 as the runner up to Roth in the 3,200.

“Alex got lost a little bit in the mile, it ended up being a kicker’s race; he really bounced back in the 2-mile like he always does,” added Samara.

“Those two took control and did their job and they are two of the favorites go-

ing into groups. Will really battled in that mile to get through and showed a lot of heart. On day one, Will and Alex stepped into the 4x800 and helped get it through. They had a really heavy load this weekend and they really stepped up to the challenge.”

PHS had some other athletes who battled hard and just missed qualifying for the Group meet.

“We had three really close calls in seventh,” said Samara. “Nick Delaney ran the best time he has run in an open race in the 800 [1:57.14] but still finished seventh; that was a tough one. Oliver Hamit has been working really hard in the 400 all year and just missed a spot in groups by twotenths of a second [50.59].

A nice surprise was the boys 4x400 finishing seventh [3:30.14], just barely out of it. Those guys fought with a lot of heart.”

T h e P H S g i r l s’ te a m showed hear t in placing 17th overall as junior standout Jackie Patterson led the way by taking fifth in the 400 with a time of 58.03 and helping the 4x400 relay come in fifth in 4:00.61.

“Jackie got through in the 400; the huge highlight was the girls’ 4x400 which had another season best,” said Samara of the quartet, which featured Patterson along with freshmen Colleen Linko, Justice Taylor, and Michelle Vassilev.

“You have those three freshmen in there. Colleen broke 60, she had a 59.9 split. Michelle went 60 flat. These freshmen girls are really starting to round into shape here. I think this group should be able to break four minutes on Saturday so we are really excited about that.”

Samara is excited about the prospects as PHS competes in the Group 4 state meet this week.

“We want to qualify as many people as we can for the Meet of Champions, that is the goal,” said Samara, referring to the final meet of the season, which is slated for June 10 at Northern Burlington Regional in Columbus. “I think every boy who qualified has a chance to get through.”

Another PDS freshman, Chris Delaney, also extended his match at second singles to three sets but he ultimately fell to Mack Nagpal of Morristown-Beard 6-2, 3-6, 6-2.

“The boy he lost to played first singles last year for MoBeard,” said Asch.

“It didn’t feel good to have him play the No. 1 who really gave Scott Altmeyer [the first singles player for PDS in 2016] a good match. Scott had to work really hard to get that match last year and that was at first singles.”

Junior star Lex Decker battled hard at first singles this year but fell 6-3, 6-0 to Lucas Flotta of Pennington.

“Lex has improved incredibly since freshman year but some days you have it and some days you don’t,” said Asch.

“Lex played very well, he competed very well; he just wasn’t sharp enough. With this kid, you have to play really great tennis to beat him and Lex played well but not well enough.”

In the third singles final, junior Vivek Sharma played some good tennis but came up short as Will Michaels of Montclair Kimberley prevailed 6-1, 6-2. “ Vive k m ad e a lot of

improvement this year and this is his first year playing singles,” added Asch.

“He has got a lot of potential but he needs to have a little more confidence to win in a situation like that.”

Asch is hoping that his returning players will deal with the situation of falling just short of a title by putting their noses to the grindstone.

“They need to learn that championships are hard to come by; we have had an incredible run but it takes a little luck and it takes a lot of hard work,” said Asch.

“When you are in a competition like this tennis tournament, there is no grade inflation. It is what it is and it is you against the other person. There is nobody there to help you, it is the kids by themselves. Everybody wants to win and it is hard to win against good players.

It can be just a few points between winning and losing.

You have got to work hard so you get those few extra points that can make the difference.”

Heading into the championship round of the state Prep B tour nament, t he Princeton Day School boys’ tennis team was on track to win its fifth straight team title at the competition.

PDS was first in the team standings as the action started last Wednesday at Wardlaw-Hartridge, with Panthers having advanced to the finals in four of the five flights.

But PDS head coach Will Asch knew that his squad wasn’t in for a cakewalk.

“I don’t think we were the favorites in any match,” said Asch. “We certainly felt that there was no match that we played that was not winnable. We were ahead; I certainly thought we had a better than 50 percent chance of winning going into the day.”

As it turned out, PDS lost all four of its matches, opening the door for Montclair Kimberley, which overtook the Panthers to win the title by one point, 10-9.

“We did have some issues, our best doubles player, Noah Liao, had a foot injury and he was out at second doubles,” said Asch.

“That really hurt us because they were very reliable for us in getting points this year.”

With freshman Ari Nagelberg filling in admirably for Liao alongside senior Leo Nye, the pair put up a good fight before falling in three sets to Rohan Israni and Milan Seeve of MKA, 2-6, 6-3, 6-1.

Sparked by Sensational Effort From Kwafo, Stuart Track Takes 3rd at Prep B State Meet

FLYING HIGH: Stuart Country Day School track star Michelle Kwafo flies over the hurdles at the state Prep B championship meet last week. Junior Kwafo enjoyed a big day at the meet, winning the 100 meter dash, the 100 hurdles, and taking third in the long jump. She also helped the 4x100 relay to victory. Kwafo’s heroics helped Stuart finish third in the team standings at the meet.

(Photo Courtesy of Stuart Country Day School) Michelle Kwafo was a bus y g irl as t he St uar t Country Day School track team competed in the Prep B state championship meet last week.

Junior star Kwafo won the 100 meter dash, the 100 hurdles, and took third in the long jump. She also helped the 4x100 relay to victor y with a blistering opening leg.

Kwafo’s heroics helped Stuart finish third in the meet as the Tartans piled up 87 points to trail winner

Villa Walsh (154.50 ) and runner up Newark Academy (113).

Coming into the May 23 competition, which was held at Newark Academy in Livingston, Kwafo was expecting some big things.

“I knew that our team and myself had a lot of potential to do really well,” said Kwafo.

“Coach [ L en K lepack ] really motivated us and pushed us; he gave us goals he thought we could meet.

He told me told me I had the

FOR

potential to win the 100 and the 100 hurdles. He was giving us positive encouragement before the meet, which really helped.”

Kwafo had to fight through fatigue as the 100 dash and 100 hurdles were held backto-back.

“At the end of the day, you have to do what you have to do,” said Kwafo, who clocked a winning time of 12.90 in the 100 dash and then came back to win the 100 hurdles in 15.30

“Going from the 100 meters right into the 100 hurdles was tough. Once you are in game mode, nothing can really stop you from doing your best.”

Kwafo knew she had to do her best to beat runner-up Nicole Borowlec of Morristown-Beard.

“The girl that I ran against in the 100 hurdles actually beat me last year in states so knowing that, I was a little worried,” said Kwafo.

“I knew I had the potential and I knew I could beat her with all of the training I have done all season, indoors and outdoors. Going into the race, I knew that could win the race and I did.”

In the dash, Kwafo was focusing on simply going hard.

“Going into the 100 meters, it was completely different because these girls were all fast,” said Kwafo.

“There wasn’t a girl there who stood out and knowing that, especially in the finals, it would be my last hard sprint apart from the 4x100 for the season, I pushed back everything and said to myself Michelle you can do it and went out as fast as I could even though I was tired from the other races.”

Competing in the relay, Kwafo went out fast in the opening leg, g iv ing t he group a cushion as it ended up winning with a time of 53.32.

“It is not all eyes on you, it is a team effort,” said Kwafo.

“It is a lot of pressure too since I am the leadoff leg.

If I don’t run my fastest or hardest, it can affect the other girls. Each one of us has a role to play.”

those girls come back, plus some other freshmen,” said Klepack.

“Stuart looks very good in the future for anything from the 100 to the 800.”

The team’s young performers had a very good day at the Prep B meet as freshman Jasmine Hansford took first in the triple jump and joined Kwafo on the 4x100.

The sprint relay also included sophomore Priscilla Francois and junior Kenya Brenya. Sophomore Bey-Shana Clark won the shot put while junior Allison Walsh was second in the high jump.

Meanwhile, senior distance star Casey Nelson ended her career on a high note, placing second in the 3,200 with a time of 12:07.70 and fifth in the 1,600 in 5:28.70.

“She scored in both the 1,600, where she tied her own school record and then broke her school record in the 3,200 so that was a very good double for her,” said Klepack, noting that Nelson is heading to Brown University. “She has got to be pleased to do that before graduating.”

Looking back on the spring overall, Klepack is very pleased with how his team performed from beginning to end.

“We are very happy, they were 10-1 in dual meets and had a very good season,” said Klepack.

“There were 12 different school records broken during the season and most of those youngsters are coming back. We did have good senior leadership with five good seniors but the people behind them look very good.

I would consider it one of the best years Stuart has had time-wise and performance-wise.”

Kwafo, for her part, is looking to build on the confidence she developed this year.

“I n m y f re s h m a n a n d sophomore year, I would always get anxious before every meet,” said Kwafo.

“I don’t know whether it was because I was an underclassman and I thought that everyone was above me. This year, I am definitely more confident in my racing and understanding more about the sport. So going into a race, I know that I have good competition but that I am just as good as them.”

Despite being worn out from all of that sprinting, Kwafo managed to come up with a long jump of 15’4 to place third in that competition.

“At that point I was exhausted but I knew I would still try,” said Kwafo.

“I didn’t get my best for a long jump which was a disappointment but because of the overall performance that day, I didn’t let that bother me too much. Long jumping is something I know I can improve on so much for next year so I am excited about that.”

For Kwafo, who scored 36 points in the meet, a program record, making such a contribution was less about herself than the team.

“I was just happy that I could do what I did to help my team finish how we finished,” said Kwafo.

While Kwafo still has another year to help Stuart, she is starting to think about competing at the next level.

“I would really like to continue running track in college,” said Kwafo.

“I am planning on doing some track camps with my coach and thinking about joining an AAU track club this summer to prepare me for the indoor season coming. I know my coach would like me to join cross country in the fall, which I am still thinking about.”

Stuart head coach Klepack tipped his hat to Kwafo’s ability to handle a grueling schedule.

“She adjusted very well, we were ver y pleas ed,” said Klepack. “There was a 1,600 in between and the finals of the 100 and the hurdles were back to back, that is what made it more of an exciting and difficult double.”

In Klepack’s view, Kwafo’s progress this year is due as much to a calmer approach to competition as her physical ability.

“She has excellent leg speed and this year, she has applied poise,” said Klepack.

“As you mature, you learn poise, you learn how to make adjustments, and how to relax.”

In reflecting on Stuart’s performance at the Prep B meet, Klepack believes the squad could mature into something special.

“What is good is that all of

Mary Fitz Randolph (Randy) Hobler Mary Fitz Randolph (Randy) Hobler, a resident of Princeton from 1945 until she moved in 2004 to Stonebridge in Skillman, died May 26, 2017 at the age of 94.

She was co -author w ith Jeanne Silvester of Princeton Trivia, On the Streets Where We Live, and The Present Day Club 100th Anniversary History. She also wrote On the Streets Where We Live Revisited in 2003, a history of the Professional Roster, and many other historical articles.

M r s. H o b l e r, b or n i n 1922 and raised in Bronxville, N.Y., was the daughter of Howard and Mollie Fitz Randolph. She also lived in La Jolla, Calif., for 10 years, where her father, a well-known genealogist, researched and wrote a book on early La Jolla history, La Jolla: Year by Year. Graduating from the Bishop’s School in 1940, and Occidental College in 1944, she married Herbert W. Hobler in 1944, (also raised in Bronxville) when he was serving in the Army Air Corps. After the war, they settled in Princeton and raised four children.

While her children were in elementary school, Randy volunteered at the YMCA, a n d w h e n h e r hu s b a n d founded the Princeton radio station, Nassau Broadcasting Company (WHWH), she joined him there for 10 years as assistant treasurer of the board. In the 1970s, she pursued a master’s degree in counseling at Rider University, graduating in 1975.

For 18 years Randy was a career counselor with the Professional Roster and was also one of the founders of Youth Employment Services in Princeton. Over the years, she served on the boards of the Present Day Club, the YMCA of Princeton, Youth Employment Service, the Professional Roster, and was a trustee and secretary of the Board of the Prince ton - Bla ir s tow n C enter.

Upon moving to Stonebridge in Skillman in 2004, she created and produced a monthly Stonebridge newsletter called Views from the Bridge. Inspired by her love of history and genealogy, she also wrote histories of her maternal grandmother’s life, and of her youth in Bronxville and La Jolla.

Always interested in the arts, Randy took up painting in mid-life, and was well known for her landscape works and paintings of many Princeton historic homes.

Her interest in architecture and art blended when she designed and built beautiful doll houses, building numerous models of famous

Princeton homes complete with all the tiny household pieces.

Over the years, Randy and Herb traveled all over the world — 70 countries in all — on planes, barges, buses, boats, ships, railroads, and zodiacs. One of their favorite trips was a month-long, round-the-world trip with 65 others on a private jet.

With her razor-sharp intelligence, Randy was always able to complete the New York Times’ crossword puzzles; she was a lifetime lover of reading and books, chocolate, and all things British. Those who know and love her will remember her for her dry wit, common sense, creativity, interest in others, and for being a loyal and devoted friend.

Mar r ied for 73 years, besides her husband, Mrs. Hobler is survived by a son, Randolph of Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.; three daughters, Deborah Hobler of Santa Barbara, Calif., Mary Hyson of Cheshire, Conn., and Nancy Hobler of Germantown, Md.; six grandchildren; and ten great-grandsons.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Princeton-Blairstown Center or the Princeton Historical Society.

Victor Anthony Rizzi, Jr.

Victor Anthony Rizzi, Jr., 88, passed away peacefully at home on May 14. For many years a Spring Lake resident, Mr. Rizzi resided in Spring Lake Heights the last five years. Born and raised in North Tarrytown (now Sleepy Hollow), N.Y., Mr. Rizzi graduated from North Tarrytown High School in 1947. A star athlete, he captained the 1946 “Headless Horseman” football squad and was selected to the AllWestchester County and AllMetropolitan All-Star teams.

In 1946, he was the winner of the Jack Small Trophy awarded to the outstanding player in the annual clash between North Tarrytown and arch rival Washington Ir v ing High S chools. In 2012, the North Tarrytown High School Alumni Association honored him with a special trophy in tribute to “His School Spirit and Generous Support.”

When a teenager, Mr. Rizzi worked as a reporter for the Tarrytown Daily News. In recent years he contributed numerous pieces to a series of books edited by Mario Toglia containing stories of immigrants from his family’s ancestral home in Calitri, Italy. Among the titles were: They Came By The Sea, Preserving Our History, and Celebrating the Heritage. He also enjoyed authoring features for the North Tarrytown, Washington Irving, and Sleepy Hollow Alumni Newsletter.

Mr. Rizzi graduated with an AB degree in economics from Princeton University

in 1951. A scholar-athlete, he played on Tiger football teams led by the legendary coach Charlie Caldwell.

Among his teammates was the 1951 Heisman Trophy winner Dick Kazmaier. Mr. Rizzi was also a member of the Tiger Inn, becoming great friends with fellow housemate John Bogle, who would one day found the Vanguard Group, today the world’s largest mutual fund company. As an alumnus, he would serve as an officer of the Class of 1951.

The year following graduation found Mr. Rizzi teaching and coaching at Governor Dummer Academy in Massachusetts. The subsequent two years he performed similar duties at the Hun School of Princeton where he also served as athletic director.

Mr. Rizzi would ultimately change direction, earning an MBA degree from the NYU Graduate School of Business Administration and embarking on a long and successful commercial banking career, beginning at Chemical Bank in New York before retiring as a senior executive vice president of the National State Bank in New Jersey. He even found time to teach financial courses for 15 years in the evening division of Fairleigh Dickinson University (Madison).

Mr. Rizzi was a member of the Nassau Club, the aforementioned Tiger Inn, The Princeton Club, the Senior Corps of Retired Executives, and several historical, environmental, and church groups. He previously lived in Convent Stat ion and Princeton before permanently settling in Spring Lake in 1985, having summered there since 1969.

He was pre-deceased by his beloved wife of 53 years, Rosemary Deasey Rizzi of Morristown, who founded the Garden Club of Spring Lake, presiding as its first president as well as the president of several historical and school organizations in Princeton and Spring Lake.

A charitable man, Mr. Rizzi donated to many causes and sponsored two scholarships in his wife’s name. He is survived by a son, Robert, of Spring Lake Heights and a daughter, Laura Rizzi McGahan, of Chapel Hill, N.C. He was also pre-deceased by his parents, Victor and Fanny DeCarlo Rizzi, and his brother, Donald.

Those wishing to do so may make a donation in Mr. Rizzi’s name to the Garden Club of Spring Lake or the Spring Lake Historical Society.

At that time she began working at Princeton Hospital, first in the coffee shop, then in the anesthesia department until her retirement, all the while working with the elderly on weekends.

She was a parishioner of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Princeton for 58 years. She volunteered as a Eucharistic minister, delivering communion every Sunday to persons unable to attend mass. She also volunteered with the St. Paul’s Healthcare Ministry.

After retiring from Princeton Hospital, she attended mass every day, weather permitting. She was committed to her religion, always helping and caring for others. She was selfless, always putting others first, often making personal

sacrifices for the benefit of others and never expecting anything in return. She made the world a better place for those she met throughout her life.

She was a wonderful role model for her daughter, baking for school events, chaperoning school field trips, and volunteering as a Girl Scout leader. She taught her daughter about community service by taking her along to help out at the annual Princeton Hospital rummage sale, and delivering meals to an elderly woman who lived close by. She sponsored both a child and an elderly woman in Latin America for many years. She worked tirelessly gathering donated clothing, personal hygiene items, and medical equipment for Croatian Relief Services, her favorite charity, is in Fairview, N.J., that helps “the poorest of the poor” all over the world. She enlisted her daughter to drive her there to deliver the many carloads she collected.

She loved attending the weekly Spanish class at the West Windsor Senior Center, going to the West Windsor Library to find new books each week, eating Swiss chocolate and cherries, and talking with relatives via FaceTime.

She will be remembered fondly by many and missed by all who knew her.

A Memorial Mass will be held on June 10, 2017, 10 a.m., at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 214 Nassau Street in Princeton.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Croatian Relief Services, 225 Anderson Avenue, Fairview, NJ 07022, in her name would be appreciated.

SELLERS: KNOW THESE 3 PRICING TRAPS Selling a home may not be rocket science, but there are a few obstacles that can trip up even a seasoned seller. Here are three to watch out for: 1. Basing your price on your own emotional connections to your home. Yes, your home holds lots of precious memories for you and your family members; but sentimental value doesn’t translate into dollars and cents. It can be hard to see your home through a stranger’s eyes, especially if you’ve lived in it for many years. Rely on your agent’s objectivity and market savvy to come up with a fair price that reflects the true value to buyers.

2. Expecting to get back 100% of the value of past renovations when you sell. Renovations certainly can increase the value of your home, but maybe most importantly, they can make it more marketable so it sells more quickly. Some renovations offer a better return-on-investment than others, but they rarely return 100% of their costs. Your agent can help you decide on the best renovations for your market.

3. Relying on online pricing estimates like Zestimates. Plenty of news reports have revealed just how wildly inaccurate online home-pricing sites can be. Instead, count on your agent’s years of experience to come up with a price that suits your buyers, your neighborhood and other factors.

Leaning on your agent for guidance throughout the selling process relieves a lot of the risks while helping you feel more confident about the final deal.
