Council Votes Unanimously On First Step of Plan For Seminary Improvements In the first step of a process that would enable Princeton Theological Seminary to add more housing to its Tennent campus, Princeton Council voted unanimously Monday night to direct the town’s Planning Board to study whether the campus should be designated as an area in need of redevelopment. This tool would allow the town to be more proactive in planning, in turn giving the public a greater ability to provide input and be more involved in the process. The seminary could also contribute financially to affordable housing, not necessarily on the site but in areas across town. Mayor Liz Lempert recused herself from the discussion because her husband is a professor at Princeton University, which has connections to the affordable housing issue. Properties included in the resolution are on Stockton Street, Hibben Road, Library Place, and Edgehill Street, all within the Mercer Hill Historic District. Municipal planner Jim Constantine told Council that the redevelopment process would be more effective than the one used when the seminary replaced its Speer Library, which opened in 2014. “It took years,” he said. “It was prolonged, and arduous on all involved, because it was a reactive process. So that process is what we have if we do nothing. But if you move forward with what is proposed, it is an opportunity to have a more proactive planning approach.” The town would be better able to regulate layout and design, and could require that improvements be phased and completed within a significant period, Constantine added. The municipality could also be designated a qualified redeveloper. The process dates from mid-20th century urban renewal, but an area doesn’t have to be blighted or condemned to qualify. Neighbors of the seminary expressed concerns about historic properties that they said the seminary has failed to protect over the years, leading to significant deterioration. “This should not be rushed through,” said area resident Elizabeth Brown, who added she does not blame the institution’s current administration but hopes the current one will address the problem.

Westminster Sale Is Far From Complete, Opponents Say
Last week, Rider University announced it had signed a “Purchase and Sale Agreement” for the transfer of Westminster Choir College to the Chinese company Beijing Kaiwen Education Technology Corporation. But the agreement is hardly a done deal, say opponents of the sale. Representatives of Rider and Westminster’s faculty, Westminster’s alumni, and members of Rider’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) joined attorney Bruce Afran Monday at a press conference denouncing the University’s June 21 announcement. On Wednesday, June 27 at 7 p.m., The Westminster Foundation, which is opposed to the sale, will hold an open
forum at Nassau Presbyterian Church, 61 Nassau Street. The June 21 announcement was “created for the press,” said Jeffrey Halpern, a member of the AAUP chapter. “It’s primary purpose was to get people to say it’s a done deal.” The press release from Rider said the $40 million agreement “is the result of months of hard work and negotiations which will allow the Board to achieve its ultimate goals of successfully transitioning Westminster Choir College to a partner that can make the necessary investments to continue its legacy, and more strongly position Rider to pursue its strategic plan for long-term financial
stability and growth.” A statement from the AAUP that soon followed said, “The purchase and sale agreement is not a true sale, but is little more than a snapshot of a prolonged negotiation with a reluctant buyer determined to reduce the price for a piece of prime Princeton real estate. The full agreement, which Rider has not released, no doubt contains numerous contingencies allowing the Chinese investment company to withdraw.” Kaiwen, which has previously been in the steel and bridge business, is running at a $20 million loss and has only $26 million in cash, Afran said. The company, which in December began operating K-12 schools in China, has no experience running a college of the caliber of Westminster, one of the country’s top musical training grounds. Afran compared Kaiwen operating Westminster to “me handling a Continued on Page 12

The Princeton community turned out in force last Saturday at Nassau Presbyterian Church for the memorial service of longtime civil servant James Arthur Floyd Sr. Floyd, who was Princeton’s first African American mayor, died May 14 at the age of 96. Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, local historian Shirley Satterfield, Princeton Community Housing director Edward Truscelli, Robert E. Humes of the Mercer County Community College Foundation, and a representative from Floyd’s beloved Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity praised him for his commitment to equality, community, voting rights, freedom for those unfairly incarcerated, and fair housing. Many references were made — in good humor — to Floyd’s forceful personality. “He was at times, approachable,” said the Reverend John White, former pastor of Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, of which Floyd was a member. “Other times … he would leave you talking to yourself and running in the opposite direction,” he said, to laughter from the audience. “But Jim Floyd was simply seeking the best from those of us who were in his sphere.” Satterfield said she was intimidated Continued on Page 13

or afraid. It’s also common for people to find themselves thinking about the event often, even if they were not directly affected and if they saw it on television. Following a violent event, it is important to remember that no reactions are wrong or right, and that most responses are just normal ways of reacting to a powerful situation. One of the most helpful things to do following a violent event is to connect with others, and talk about feelings of sadness, anger, and other emotions.

Nassau Hall Roof Replacement, Cupola Repair Are Center of Nine-Month Restoration Project
Nassau Hall, Princeton University’s iconic building, is in the midst of a reconstruction project: specifically to replace the existing roof and to repair and repaint the cupola. Work began on June 18 and is expected to be completed in March 2019. Scaf-
folding and fencing will surround the entire building to support the craftspeople and materials needed for the project. Building entrances will remain open, however, and staff may continue to work inside.

During the upcoming restoration, the entire slate roof and copper gut ters will be replaced, and snow guards will be added. The structure of the cupola will be restored and repainted, including the cupola’s four clocks and weather vane. Also, the Class of 1879 bronze tigers flanking the front steps will be boxed for protection. University Facilities will oversee the project “Even though the public will see lots of fencing and scaffolding, the project is really simple repair and restoration,” explains Donald Lowe, the University’s assistant vice president of facilities operations. “We will also include a few modern day safety improvements.” Original Design According to Alexis Mut s ch ler, faci lit ie s as sistant director of special projects, the roof was last replaced around the early 1960s. The decorative cupola was part of Nassau Hall’s original design, though its look has changed following two significant fires and other renovation work. The clocks on the cupola were modernized in the 1950s, and the clock mechanism was changed from analog to digital in the 1980s. A slate roof has a very long life, points out Lowe. The new roof is expected to last 75 years or more, and the color will not fade. A University and national landmark, Nassau Hall has a long and storied history. Built in 1756 on land donated from Nathaniel FitzRandolph (for whom the University’s FitzRandolph Gate — the official entrance to Princeton University— is named), it was originally intended to house all college facilities — classrooms, dormitories, library, chapel, kitchen, and offices. When it was built, it was one of the largest stone buildings in the American colonies. “For the first 50 years, Nassau Hall and the presi-
dent’s house were the only structures on campus,” reports Daniel J. Linke, University archivist, Princeton University Library. Both Sides Initially, only a few dozen students attended the institution, which was then known as The College of New Jersey, he adds. Founding Father and fourth American President James Madison was a student, and his class of 1771 numbered 15 members. The class of 1800 included 33 students. During the Revolutionary War, the building was occupied both by the British redcoats and the Continental soldiers. It was shelled by both sides during the Battle

RAMADAN: Local Muslims broke their all-day fast with interfaith friends and community members on June 12 at an “open Iftar” at Princeton University’s Field Center. Sponsors for the meal, which served 130, were the Elabed-AbuHammoud family, shown here. Iftars have been open to the entire community during Ramadan for 10 years. The evening also included drumming lessons for children on the traditional Arab drum, and prayers in the courtyard.
LEARNING ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY: Sustainable Princeton was a sponsor of the Community Loteria Event held at Community Park on Saturday, June 16. Children and adults played the organization’s recycling dart game, testing their knowledge on proper recycling sorting, to win LED lightbulbs and reusable water bottles. The team at Sustainable Princeton diverted five pounds of recycling and 12 pounds of compost, and not a single plastic water bottle was used at the event. Pictured, from left, are Yamile Slebi, Sustainable Princeton trustee; Jenny Ludmer, outreach manager; and Christine Symington, program director. (Photo by Veronica Olivares-Torres)

of Princeton in 1777, after which it was retaken by the Americans under the command of General George Washington. A scar left from an American cannonball on the south side of the west wing remains visible today. After the shelling, “the damage was severe enough that funds needed to be raised to do the restoration,” says Linke. “Also, it survived two fires, one in 1802 and another in 1855.” These were accidental, he adds, noting, “At the time, open flames were the main source of cooking. “The 1855 fire devastated the interior of the building, and it needed significant reconstruction. Interestingly, when the trustees commissioned the construction of Nassau Hall, they suggested it be built of high quality brick, if it was available, but if not, then of quality stone. It was built of stone, which really saved it from total destruction in the 1855 fire.” History continued to unfold at Nassau Hall when it served as the location for the Continental Congress from July to November of 1783. Members of the Congress had been forced to flee from Philadelphia when they feared for their safety when angry Continental soldiers who had not been paid, mutinied, notes Linke. Peace Treaty It was also the site where the Congress first learned the British had surrendered and signed a peace treaty granting independence to the former colonies. The U.S. Department of Interior designated Nassau Hall a National Historic Landmark in 1960, “signifying its importance in the Revolutionary War and in the history of the United States.” In 1956, the first U.S. com memorat ive postage stamp printed on colored paper honored Nassau Hall on its bicentennial. It depicted a front view of the building on orange paper, and was presented at the then first class rate of three cents. “The way I like to describe Nassau Hall is that Nassau Hall was there before the country was a country,” observes Donald Lowe. Today, Nassau Hall serves as an administrative building, and is the focus of the University’s commencement which is held on the lawn in front of the building. Continuing to maintain and preserve Nassau Hall in prime condition is of the utmost importance not only to Princeton University but to all those who appreciate its history. As Alexis Mutschler says, “It is an honor to be part of the restoration of such an historic and monumental building as Nassau Hall.” —Jean Stratton

Japanese Beetles Return, Threatening Local Plants As the summer weather heats up, Japanese beetles have been emerging across trees and gardens around Pr inceton. First spot ted in 1916 at a New Jersey nursery, the bronze-bodied beetles have become a major problem for East Coast plant life. “In the U.S., there’s about 200 plants that they will feed on,” said Taylor Sapudar, Princeton’s arborist. “They have a vast variety of plants that they consume and, unfor tunately, they really don’t have a major natural predator here in the states.” Though they consume most kinds of plants, roses and crepe myrtles are particularly at risk. Keeping a garden clear of Japanese beetles is no simple task. Pheromone traps tend to attract more beetles than they catch, and insecticides can hurt other harmless or beneficial insects. According to Sapudar, by the time leaves appear skeletonized — reduced to just their veins — the grubs have already become adults and prevention efforts are too late. The most effective
approach is hand-picking them. Doing so in the early morning, around 7 a.m., will catch them when they are sluggish — shaking beetleinfested plants at that time will knock them off the plant and make collection easier. Once removed from plants, they can be safely drowned in soapy water. While Japanese beetles have threatened American gardens for nearly a century, Sapudar mentioned a new threat to look out for: spotted lantern flies. “It’s another invasive species that, at this time, isn’t seen here, but I know it’s over the bridge in Pennsylvania,” said Sapudar. Spotted lantern flies have first been recorded in America in the past five years, and are known for the danger they pose to trees. If you spot the red and blackbodied adults or the mudlike eggs, report them to the New Jersey Department of Agriculture at ContactAg@ ag.state.nj.us. —William Uhl
a Princeton tradition!
THE BEETLES ARE BACK: Leaf skeletonization is the telltale sign of Japanese beetles. Over-thecounter anti-grub pesticides can be an effective way to prevent the invasive species from laying eggs, but by the time they reach adulthood, the best and most effective form of protection is removing them by hand.

witnessed it firsthand in their schools and in their neighborhoods, often only after it was too late. “That’s why they’ve decided to change the narrative and are organizing the Embrace You! Community Festival, a oneday celebration of resilience and mental wellness.” The New Jersey Health Initiatives (NJHI), the statewide grant making program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) awarded Millhill, and nine other organizations across the state, a NGCL three-year award this past year to harness the energy, knowledge, and idealism of young people ages 14-21 to prepare them to become future leaders. The Trenton NGCL Team, Team Trenton Standing Tall, consists of 15 young leaders from Trenton. The NGCL were given a task to develop a civic engagement project this summer that addresses a public health issue of their choosing. The students discussed literacy, employment, and access to healthy foods. But when the topic turned to
mental health, the discussion became personal. The choice of project became clear. According to the 2016 New Jersey Youth Suicide Report, suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth aged 10-14. The report also points to Mercer as one of three New Jersey counties with the highest rates of suicide attempts and self-inflicted injuries seen in emergency rooms. The CDC reports that suicide rates increased more than 25 percent since 1999. The NGCL program kicked off with a youth retreat in September of last year at YMCA Camp Ockanickon in Medford, N.J. Since then, the youth leaders met on a bi-weekly basis to learn from local experts about community health and to identify, develop, and implement a project to address an issue of their choosing. In July, the youth will work for four weeks with various non-profit and government agencies to address the mental health challenges in their homes, schools, and neighborhoods. The Embrace You! Community Mental Wellness Festival is a culmination of their work. The festival is free and will include presentations by mental health experts, wellness workshops, activities for families, food, fun, music, and learning. In addition to funding from the New Jersey Health Initiatives, the statewide grantmaking program of Robert Wood Johnson and Millhill Child and Family Development; the festival is supported in part through NJM Insurance Group and The College of New Jersey. Additional sponsorships are available as well as volunteer and community partner opportunities.

School Matters GoFundMe Campaign To Help Save Bog Turtles
Riverside Elementary School science teacher Mark Eastburn and his students have started a GoFundMe campaign to help save bog turtles, which were recently named New Jersey’s official state reptile. With less than 6,000 left in the world, bog turtles are critically endangered in New Jersey, and threatened across their range. All proceeds from the fundraiser will support long-term conservation projects to protect bog turtles in essential habitats. For more information, visit www. gofundme.com/help-save-bog-turtles.
Sustainable Princeton Recognizes Elementary Schools
As the school year comes to an end, Sustainable Princeton has acknowledged the Princeton Public Elementary Schools’ efforts to reduce waste and promote environmental stewardship among their students. Sustainable Princeton recognizes that all schools are making great strides to become more sustainable. Littlebrook Elementary School keeps compost bins in their classrooms and promotes the proper disposal of food waste throughout the entire day. They also use their Sustainable Jersey grant to buy reusable flatware, dishes, and cups for class parties, reducing paper and plastic waste. Princeton’s elementary schools made an effort to pair sustainable actions with educational opportunities. Science labs, for instance, teach about the environment through hands-on activities. Riverside Elementary School incorporated garden education into their curriculum, a program that has spread to all four elementary schools. “In order to take sustainability to the next level, it is important to create opportunities for students to go off campus and see where compost actually goes,” said Martha Friend of Littlebrook Elementary School. “We look forward to seeing what the next academic year brings. In the meantime, we hope Princeton Public School students maintain their sustainable habits over summer break.”

Gun Violence at Art All Night Reminder Of Need for Common-Sense Gun Laws
To the Editor: When every crowded event brings with it the fear of gun violence, it is time for change. When our children are lined up against the wall in alphabetical order for lockdown drills, it is time for change. When a depressed teen can reach for an easy, lethal option and be added to the 62 percent of gun deaths that are suicides, it is time for change. Every week, tragedy reminds us that guns are in our communities and in the wrong hands. Earlier this week, shots rang out at the Art All Night event in Trenton. Over one thousand people faced gun violence at a community event. Moms Demand Action volunteers, artists, neighbors, and children dove for cover or ran for their lives. Twenty-two people were injured, among them a 13-year-old child. In New Jersey, we are fortunate to have some of the nation’s strictest gun laws. Thanks to Governor Murphy who recently signed legislation to require criminal background checks for all gun sales and prohibiting high-capacity magazines, we are a little safer. It is not enough. I support the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms, but I also support common-sense gun laws and will vote to keep my community safer. Will you? I urge you to connect with your local chapter of Moms Demand Action and see how you can take part in the movement to end gun violence. SUSAN ADAMS, Member of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America
CASA of Mercer/Burlington Joins Voices Speaking Out for Children at the Border
To the Editor: For nearly 40 years the National Court Appointed Special Advocate Association (National CASA) has advocated for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. One of our guiding principles is that children are better off when they remain with their families of origin if safely possible. We also know the trauma that children experience when they are separated from their parents is most often detrimental to their well-being and can have a long-term nega-

tive impact. While CASA programs and volunteers work in family or juvenile court systems, not the federal court system, we support best-interest advocacy for all children. We have been deeply concerned about the family separations at the southwest border and thank those who have spoken out on behalf of these children. We join with these voices. If children involved in immigration proceedings become involved in family or juvenile court, we urge the appointment of a CASA/GAL volunteer to advocate for the child’s best interest and help the court make the most well-informed decision in these tremendously important matters. We ask our nation’s legislators to carefully consider the impacts on children when they address immigration legislation so that no child is subjected to further trauma.

Longtime Swimmer at Dillon Asks University To Recognize and Support A “Special Bond”
To the Editor: I am one of the recipients of the letter announcing Princeton University’s decision to end my non-affiliated facility membership in Dillon Gym. As a dedicated Princeton University swimmer for 20 years (paying approximately $850 per year), the decision to ban us is a blow to my belief in the University’s commitment to our town. We PU-affiliated and non-affiliated Dillon and Denunzio swimmers are a close-knit group of friends and neighbors. We see each other every day, notice when someone is absent and make a call, take our sick friends to the doctor, and celebrate holidays in one another’s homes. This decision unwittingly ends our way of life. I accept the notion that PU administrators are very busy and could not have known the effect this policy change would have. Now that we are making this administrative oversight known, we ask this wrong be righted. Therefore I am writing this letter to the editor as a means to ask Princeton University to permit current non-affiliated Dillon and Denunzio recreation swimmers to be allowed to stay. Our pools are not full, hence the reason cited for excluding us (overcrowding) does not hold water (pun intended). There is plenty of room for all of us. Please reconsider and allow us to remain with our friends. We will appreciate Princeton administration’s recognition and support for our special bond by allowing us to stay.

Resident Shares Copy of Message to Steve Cochrane After June 18 Meeting
To the Editor: The following is a copy of an email I sent to Steve Cochrane, after the June 18 public meeting regarding the bond issue vote which is scheduled for October 2. From the information I can gather, there are 16 high schools in New Jersey with “turfed” athletic fields. There are 691 public high schools. Again, this is from public information, so it may not be entirely accurate. However, your response to my question at last night’s meeting that you “did not know” how many high schools had “turfed” fields but “it is a lot” is hardly accurate considering this information. As a homeowner, retiree, and tax payer in Princeton, and as the mother of a now adult daughter who marched in high school band on a dirt field, in rain, in mud, and in dust, I find the need for such lavish accommodations to be ridiculous. One of the life skills we need to provide to children in the educational system is flexibility. Student athletes will figure out a work around if there is no “turf” field available to them.

Frequent Bicyclist on Wiggins Thinks Most Drivers are Courteous, Careful
To the Editor: I’ve been a frequent bicyclist using Wiggins to access the center of Princeton. There’s not enough of Wiggins or Hamilton — street and sidewalk — for everyone to use it safely if everyone comes at it from the standpoint of their right to use it. We all need to be thinking of the one another’s safety. I see no reason why bicyclists shouldn’t use a sidewalk at times if they slow down and are courteous near a pedestrian. There is no reason why a driver should object to letting a bicyclist get past a few parked cars. It may take a little more time to take Hawthorne or Spruce, but they offer good, safer alternatives. My experience has been that almost all drivers are courteous and careful and that police are more interested in helping us solve our problem together than in legalistic enforcement. I rather enjoy the exchange of courtesies. JOHN POWELL Snowden Lane

To the Editor: I am a 30-year Princeton resident. I live on Rosedale Road, a residential road with walking/bicycle access to Johnson Park, trails, soccer fields, D&R environment center, fishing streams. Over the past two years the speeding and tractor trailer travel on Rosedale has been absurdly dangerous. From Province Line to Elm Roads, Rosedale has become a two mile long racing strip: Vehicle speeds averages 65 mph. Trucks with Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over four tons speed on Rosedale as a bypass. ETS, Chauncey Hotel has added limousine service that also speed down Rosedale Road. It is increasingly very dangerous to cross the street to use the sidewalk, ride a bike, walk to Johnson Park. It is also increasingly very hazardous for me to check the mailbox; maintain a front lawn garden that beautifies Rosedale, and enter my driveway. Signaling does not stop cars from blowing their horns or passing over the double painted lines into on-coming traffic; traffic from the Princeton end passes on the right onto the grassy side leaving it muddy and unsightly. I understand policing traffic may not be an everyday option. However, an additional traffic deterrent on Rosedale would be welcomed … perhaps a check speed flashing lamp on Lambert East/Fairway, a speed bump, a grassy median, or a speed reduction to 35 mph.

Bierman Hopes to Stay Involved in Town’s Affairs On a Board, Committee, and as Concerned Citizen
To the Editor: First, I want to extend hearty congratulations to Council members elect Dwaine Williamson and Eve Niedergang. Also kudos to the well-run campaigns of Michelle Lambros and Paul Sharma. Second, I am deeply moved for the votes and expression of confidence in me from my fellow Princetonians. Thanks to my family for their support and patience. And to my dogs too, whom post-campaign, I can take for longer walks. Princeton continues to face challenges of affordability and growth and I plan to stay involved in our town’s affairs, hopefully on a board or committee and/or as a concerned citizen. Regarding issues affecting our tax dollars such as the October 2 School Board referendum, I urge citizens to vote NO! I have met a number of times with a host of experienced people in town, and the plans/numbers do not add up. Concerning the open letter from Carol Golden, Princeton Housing Initiatives and Edward Truscelli, executive director Princeton Community Housing (Mailbox, June 20), where they ask Council candidates their thoughts on the affordable housing policy, I will defer to answering until I return from vacation in mid July. I will have more time to synthesize the evolving policies, process, and politics of that complex issue. Thanks again for your support. ADAM BIERMAN Grover Avenue
Increasing student enrollment in the Princeton Regional Schools is related to Princeton’s need to provide more moderate and affordable housing. Selling the Valley Road site for this purpose would allow PRS to be instrumental in helping the Princeton community meet this obligation. The revenue derived from this sale would offset some of the cost that will be incurred by the construction as set forth in the referendum. CHARLIE YEDLIN Beech Hill Circle
Resident Supports Quality Education; The Problem Is the $130 Million Budget
To the Editor: The June 18 Princeton Board of Education (BOE) town hall turned out to be as full of obscurities as everything else from the BOE and superintendent. The superintendent did not answer almost all the substantive questions. Princeton needs to learn the difference between wants and needs. We support quality education, but at a reasonable price. Our schools need renovation and construction; the problem is the $130 million budget. We don’t need the extravagance that’s been portrayed as necessary. For example, the $4 million allocation for furniture at Princeton High School and the proposed 5/6 school comes to at least $1,500 per student and administrator. This is a very high number. Will no furniture be reused? What other extravagances are buried in the budget?
Athletic fields and turf are listed at $5 million. Administration is almost $13 million. (It’s not clear where that money is going; that’s not operating budget.) And bear in mind that for the new 5/6 school, there’s a projected initial annual operating budget increase of $1.5 million for 22 new staff such as administrators, counselors, CST, special area teachers, secretaries, and custodians. One BOE defense is a 2010 Wharton study showing passage of school referendums led to a 6 percent increase in home values. What we are not being told is that it was a Californiabased study, where the tech industry has driven up property values dramatically. Given the past BOE expenditures and the high real estate prices, constantly raising taxes will drive buyers to other New Jersey communities with highly-rated schools. Although we pay high school taxes, PHS is ranked No. 9 in New Jersey and No. 230 in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Reports). I encourage readers to make up their own minds and to press the BOE hierarchy to be more open and honest. Further information can be found on the BOE website. Finally, the referendum is October 2. Why has the superintendent taken so long to have a public meeting on finances? There are three and a half months from the meeting to the referendum, and two of those are summertime when Princeton is historically empty. More strategy to keep us in the dark?

Open Letter On 100 Thanet Road To PRS Superintendent, BOE Pres
To Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Sullivan: I understand that the Board of Education has recently entered into an option agreement to purchase 100 Thanet Road, for a reported price of $6.5 million. The 15-acre site includes two existing three-story buildings totaling approximately 115,000 square feet. This purchase presents an opportunity to expand the current intended use to provide administrative and operational facilities on Thanet Road, to also include housing the new 5/6 school. I anticipate that utilizing and renovating the existing Thanet Road buildings in this way would realize a significant cost savings, in lieu of constructing a new 5/6 school at Valley Road. The estimated cost in the referendum budget for administrative offices and the new 5/6 school totals approximately $52 million. In comparison, if one factors in a $150 per square foot allowance (which is generous) for renovation costs, plus the purchase price of $6.5 million, that would total about $24 million. Even with the added expense of constructing a gymnasium and other support structures to the Thanet site, the total expenditure should provide a significant cost savings from the estimated cost of $52 million that the BOE has budgeted for these facilities.

major murder trial a week after getting out of law school.” Afran is representing a group of alumni, parents, and faculty in a federal lawsuit against Rider, which claims the proposed sale violates the 1991 merger agreement between Rider and Westminster. In a second lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court, Princeton Theological Seminary contends that the sale goes against the original donation of land that established Westminster in the 1930s. Afran said a third litigation will likely be undertaken when the two groups become objectors as Rider attempts to gain the necessary certification from the New Jersey Department of Education. “Rider can’t finalize the sale as long as these lawsuits are pending,” he said. “The RIPE FOR THE PICKING: It’s blueberry season, and Terhune Orchards is holding its annual Blue- land that the school sits on berry Bash Saturday and Sunday, July 7 and 8.

I’m sure our new governor will be concerned about this New Jersey cultural gem.” Westminster, which also includes Westminster Conservatory and Westminster Continuing Education, sits on 23 acres on Walnut Lane. Afran said Rider’s agreement guarantees that Kaiwen maintain Westminster’s programs only for five years, and to operate the campus for 10 years. Kaiwen could eventually turn the property into a for-profit boarding school, with plans for real estate or a commercial operation, he said. The objectors want Rider to reconsider the plan. Since the 1991 merger, alumni have donated to Westminster and the school is no longer in the precarious position it was at that time. “The financial picture is very different now,” said Afran, adding that Westminster should be spun off as an individual school, either operating on its own or merging with another nonprofit.
“We’re hoping Rider will quickly come to an understanding that there are other alternatives,” he said. —Anne Levin

executive v ice president, stressed that the institution values historic properties, which include houses built by Charles Steadman. “The seminary would never dream of doing anything other than preserving those homes,” he said “We’re able to give the town a guarantee that those historic homes won’t be altered in any way.” Berg added that the Hibben athletic field would be preserved as open space as part of the plan for 40 to 50 years, and could open up to Marquand Park. “We live in this neighborhood and the president lives in this neighborhood,” he said, using Springdale, the president’s house, as an example of the seminary’s stewardship. “We care about the charm, we care about the walkability. We think [the neighborhood] is a national treasure.” Municipal attorney Trishka Cecil stressed that approval of the resolution is the very beginning of the process, and the Planning Board would be required to hold a public hearing on the report they develop. Once the report comes back to Council, the governing body must decide whether to act on whatever the Planning Board recommends. “If the Council determines to designate, then a redevelopment plan is prepared and has to be adopted by ordinance,” she said, “which goes through a public hearing process. That’s the level at which you start to design the site. Once that gets approved, specific site plan applications have to come back. So tonight is just the first kicking-off process.” —Anne Levin
by Floyd at first, but soon realized he was “a big teddy bear.” He was key in efforts to have the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood designated as Princeton’s 20th historic district, in getting a resolution passed to make it possible for the founding of Princeton Community Housing, and beginning the regular meetings of the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association, which continue today. “I hope to see there is a memorial in Princeton to honor James Arthur Floyd Sr., a man for all seasons,” she said. Truscelli described Floyd as “an ardent activist for fairness and equal opportunity.” When Floyd died, “we lost a voice for community and equality,” he said. Humes said Floyd was a mentor to him after the two met when Floyd was vice president of human relations at ETS, and Humes was newly appointed to the same position at Squibb. “He took me under his wing,” he said. Floyd joined the board of Mercer County Community College in 1989, “because it had the potential to address people in need.” Humes joined four years later and the two remained colleagues there until 2016. Wa t s o n - C o l e m a n s a i d Floyd was “a giant in our community and in my life,” and a friend of her father’s who always spoke up against prejudice and bigotry. “He was one of those people who believed in leveling the playing field and providing opportunity for all,” she said. Floyd was born in Trenton and graduated in 1939
from Trenton Central High School, going on to the Trenton School of Industrial Design and West Virginia State College, where he was president of his class and played basketball. He was a charter member and president of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Floyd and his family moved to Princeton in 1961. He served on the Planning Board, Princeton Township Committee, and was named mayor of the Township in 1971. He retired from ETS in 1987. Several of those who spoke mentioned Floyd’s devotion to jazz. As the service concluded, the Louis Armstrong Eternity Band, featuring well known trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, played as family and friends filed into the church’s reception hall for a gathering and more music. —Anne Levin
Princeton Climate Institute Gets $40 Million Grant
Re s e arch er s at P r i n c eton University and NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) have been awarded up to $40 million over five years to fund a new cooperative institute that focuses on Earth system research. The goal of The Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System (CIMES) is to understand and predict the Earth’s climate system across time scales from days to decades, on local to global scales, and with particular focus on extreme weather and problems of relevance to society, including impacts on marine ecosystems, drought, and air quality. The new institute enables Princeton and GFDL to continue collaborative work begun under the Cooperative Institute
for Climate Science, founded with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 15 years ago. GFDL is in Plainsboro. “This decision enables us to continue groundbreaking research that Princeton University and GFDL have been doing for the past 50 years on the Earth system,” said Jorge Sarmiento, Princeton’s George J. Magee Professor of Geoscience and Geological Engineering. “Through this collaboration, the University contributes academic expertise that advances the study of a broad Earth system model that incorporates biogeochemistry to improve our understanding of the Earth and its future.” Sarmiento will be director of the new institute. Gabriel Vecchi, professor of geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, will be the deputy director. Sonya Legg, senior research oceanographer in atmospheric and oceanic sciences, will serve as the associate director. “Our cooperative institutes are critical to NOAA’s ability to address emerging needs and train the next generation of researchers,” said Craig McLean, assistant NOAA administrator for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. “The Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System at Princeton University offers world-class breadth and depth of scientific expertise that would be impossible to recreate inside a federal agency alone.” Research will involve graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at both institutions, training the next generation of leaders in Earth system sciences through the graduate and postdoctoral programs in Princeton’s Program in Atmo-
Very
spheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS). The institute will also broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in Earth system science through summer internships, visiting faculty exchange fellowships and research collaborations with a diverse range of institutions. The new institute also provides a bridge between NOAAGFDL and Princeton University and the wider academic community. CIMES research will address the themes of earth system modeling, seamless predictions across time and space, and earth system analysis and applications. NOAA selected CIMES for funding after an open, competitive evaluation process. The award has the potential to renew for another five years based on successful performance. CIMES will be one of 16 Cooperative Institutes that NOAA supports to conduct research and provide educational programming to students and postdoctoral associates in oceanic and atmospheric science.

ART REVIEW
Soundings: Art, Music, and Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick” On the hither side of Pittsfield sits Herman Melville, shaping out the gigantic conception of his white whale, while the gigantic shape of Greylock looms upon him from his studywindow. —Nathaniel Hawthorne, from The Wonder Book n a December 1850 letter to a friend penned while he was “shaping” the book that became Moby Dick, Melville writes, “I look out of my window in the morning when I rise as I would out of a port-hole of a ship in the Atlantic. My room seems a ship’s cabin; & at nights when I wake up & hear the wind shrieking, I almost fancy there is too much sail on the house, and I had better go on the roof and rig in the chimney.” Frank Stella (Princeton ’58) highlights the image of the artist at the window in one of the Norton Lectures he delivered at Harvard in 1995, citing Kandinsky: “Instead of using his easel to prop up a window on the world, Kandinsky used it to support a windshield moving through the universe. We see Kandinsky in front of his easel at the controls, confidently aware that both he and his painting are in motion.” It’s an appealing idea, the artist navigator in motion, full sail, full-tilt, whatever the vehicle, whether writing or painting, blank page or blank canvas. Speaking of windshields and art in motion, I was driving along River Road the other day “shaping out” a column on the Moby Dick prints in “Frank Stella Unbound” and listening to Moby Dick: Scenes from an Imaginary Opera by Peter Westergaard (Princeton MFA ‘56). As I came into Millstone, the Pequod was sinking while Ishmael, “who alone is left to tell the tale,” sang of “each floating oar and lance-pole, and spinning, spinning, animate and inanimate, all round and round in one vortex,” carrying “the smallest chip of the Pequod out of sight.” Size and Sweep Inspired by the Passover song Had Gadya, Italo Calvino’s Italian Folktales and The Dictionary of Imaginary Places, the other works in “Frank Stella Unbound: Literature and Printmaking” are impressive, but nothing “looms upon” the viewer with the size and sweep of the Moby Dick series. According to Erica Cooke’s essay in the exhibit monograph, the epic undertaking evolved out of Stella’s observations of beluga whales in the New York Aquarium. Reminded of Moby Dick, which he probably read during his undergraduate years at Princeton, Stella went back to the novel and “the more I got into it, the more I thought it would be great to use the chapter headings … for the titles of the pieces.” Between 1985 and 1997, he produced one work for each of the 135 chapters, and 266 over all. Linked Analogies If Cooke is right that Stella had “no intention of mirroring literary content in visual form,” then there’s no point spending time looking

There’s mind, Stella’s design not only complements but a rationale for this approach in “The Funeral” aspires to the wildness of Melville’s imagery when Ahab thinks, “O Nature, and O soul of “of patchwork, full of odd little parti-colored man! how far beyond all utterance are your squares and triangles,” and on Queequeg’s arm linked analogies! not the smallest atom stirs or “tattooed all over with an interminable Cretan lives on matter, but has its cunning duplicate labyrinth of a figure, no two parts of which were one precise shade … this same arm of in mind.” You can lose your way looking for analogies his … looked for all the world like a strip of in the black and white print Stella titled after that same patchwork quilt.” If Melville were to materialize in the gallery, that chapter.

Otherwise, Melville in the Gallery The one work of Stella’s that could be cited he’d have given the work the looming vertical as a “cunning duplicate” of Melvillian prose is dimensions of the others rather than creating The Counterpane, titled after the chapter in a wide-screen effect better suited to Ishmael’s narration, where the monkey-rope is “fast at
both ends; fast to Queequeg’s broad canvas belt, and fast to my narrow leather one. So that for better or for worse, we two, for the time, were wedded; and should poor Queequeg sink to rise no more, then both usage and honor demanded, that instead of cutting the cord, it should drag me down in his wake.” The holding-it-together tension Melville builds on leads to a declaration that resonates with a challenge both author and painter have to contend with: “There is no staying in any one place; for at one and the same time everything has to be done everywhere …. It is much the same with him who endeavors the description of the scene.” The same challenge confronts the composer attempting to sound the depths of Moby Dick in search of scenes for an opera. Westergaard’s Version It’s fitting that Peter Westergaard begins his preface to the 2004 recording of his Imaginary Opera by noting that Melville’s novel “paints a vast canvas.” After describing the obvious challenges facing a director attempting to stage Moby Dick, Westergaard says, “With a recording, of course, all these problems conveniently disappear as you, the listener, imagine from Ishmael’s words and the music that surrounds them what Ishmael sees in his mind’s eye as he tells the tale.” Listening to that same recording, both in and out of the car, I recalled a visit to Westergaard’s Princeton home eight years ago. He was at work, a score in his lap, pages of music on the keyboard of a piano with the aspect of an old roll-top desk, the ivory worn off many of the keys, the wages of years of use. I also couldn’t help imagining another materialization of Melville as I listened to Scene 7, “The Symphony,” titled after the chapter of the same name, arguably the most poignant -- and operatic — passage in the novel. I think Melville would have approved of Westergaard’s haunting score, as performed by the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia conducted by Michael Pratt. ut what about the music in Moby Dick? Of course it’s in Melville’s prose, and in creations like “Black Little Pip,” the “poor Alabama boy” beating his tambourine “in glory.” Another look at Stella’s Jonah Historically Regarded sent me to the sermon in Chapter 9 about Jonah’s flight from God and the hymn begun by Father Mapple “in prolonged solemn tones, like the continual tolling of a bell in a ship that is foundering at sea in a fog,” the concluding stanzas bursting forth “with a pealing exultation and joy -- “My song for ever shall record/That terrible, that joyful hour” — the hymn swelling “high above the howling of the storm.” —Stuart Mitchner

When the Trenton City Museum opened its doors to the public in 1978, it had already acquired a small collection of decorative art and historical objects, and a few pieces of fine art. Over the last 40 years, the collection has grown to comprise nearly six thousand objects including more than 250 works of fine art, both donated and purchased. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the museum’s opening, the Trenton Museum Society (TMS) is “Airing Out the Attic” and putting on display more than 80 works from its fine arts collection. The exhibition runs July 11 to September 9, with a public opening reception on Saturday, July 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. For the first 20 years of Ellarslie Mansion operating as a museum, the Trenton Museum Society relied on the generosity of its donors for additions to the fine arts collection. In those years, pieces sculpted and painted by Trenton artists like Frank Applegate, George Bradshaw, and Henry MacGinnis, instructors at the Trenton School of Industrial Arts, were accessioned into the collection. Occasionally, a well-known Trenton artist like Thomas Malloy, Marge Chavooshian, or Rober t Sakson, whose work had been on display in a small group or solo show at Ellarslie, would donate a piece to the collection. As the museum society concentrated on developing its collections of Trenton-made porcelain and historical objects, fine arts took a backseat. But with the support of the Trenton City Museum, and especially director Ben Whitmire, the Trenton arts scene was growing from the ’70s through the ’90s. In 2002, the Collections Committee of the Trenton Museum Society realized that it had a responsibility to collect the work of the Trenton area’s many talented contemporary artists. That year, TMS purchased The Puritan by Paul Matthews from Ellarslie Open XX, and so began a tradition of purchases every year from the annual juried show. During July and August, the first major exhibition, comprised solely of fine art from the museum’s collection, will be on display. According to curator and longtime TWS trustee Carolyn Stetson, “Although many of the pieces have been on display for various exhibits over the years, this is the first time our audience will be able to see all these works together. It has been a lot of fun col-

“Tanis” Returns for Limited Engagement at Michener
In 2011, Philadelphia-area philanthropists Marguerite and H. F. Gerry Lenfest presented Tanis as a gift to the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the stipulation that the painting be returned on loan to the Michener Art Museum for three months every three years. This year marks its second return under that agreement. Marguerite and Gerry Lenfest are longtime supporters of the Michener Art Museum, which is recognized for its world-class collection of Pennsylvania Impressionist paintings — many of them donated to the museum by the Lenfests — as well as its commitment to preserving and presenting the work of other Delaware Valley artists of all eras and creative disciplines. “We are thrilled to welcome Tanis back to the Michener Art Museum,” said Barbara Donnelly Bentivoglio, interim executive director of the Michener Art Museum. “We, along with our visitors, marvel about the vast, timeless talents of Daniel Garber. Adding Tanis to our galleries gives our visitors an even broader and deeper understanding of Garber’s re-
Daniel Garber (1880-1958) was a central figure in the Pennsylvania Impressionist movement, and was one of the most significant and decorated artists of his generation. Garber’s style combines realism and fantasy, precise draftsmanship and decorative technique, emblazoning all in vibrant, shimmering colors. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street, Doylestown, Pa. For more information, call (215) 340-9800 of visit MichenerArtMuseum.org.

Brodsky Center Moving To New Home at PAFA
The Brodsky Center, a collaborative paper and printmaking center devoted to the creation of new work, is moving to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA). PA FA h a s a n n o u n c e d plans to absorb the Center from its current location at Rutgers University. The Rutgers Center for Innovative Print and Paper was founded in 1986 by Judith Brodsky, an artist, printmaker, arts advocate, and professor of art. Housed at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, the Center was renamed in her honor in 2006, and is dedicated to enabling groundbreaking artists, both established and emerging, to create new work in paper and print. Brodsky, who now sits on PAFA’s Contemporary Collections Committee, was instrumental in bringing the Center to PAFA. “I’m delighted that PAFA will be the new home of the Brodsky Center,” Brodsky said. “PAFA has a distin“LEON RAINBOW”: Mel Leipzig’s painting of graffiti artist Leon Rainbow will be shown in “Mel guished printmaking tradition, and it is exciting that and Leon,” an exhibit featuring the work of both artists at the Lakefront Gallery at Robert Wood the Brodsky Center will help Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, One Hamilton Health Place, Hamilton.

A new papermaking facility will be established at PAFA, and will provide papermaking opportunities for both Brodsky Center editions and PAFA students. “We are thrilled to have the Brodsky Center coming to PAFA,” said Clint Jukkala, dean of the School of Fine Arts. “The Center will bring new expertise and facilities in papermaking to complement PAFA’s outstanding print shop and department. Students will learn from artists in residence, who will make prints alongside them in the print shop.” The current director of the Brodsky Center, Paola Morsiani, will join the PAFA team and will continue to lead the center and develop learning opportunities for students. Editions produced by the Brodsky Center are Sample Harvest Blues, Governors Cup winner included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Modern Art; Whitney Museum of American Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and other international institutions, as well as many private collections. The new papermaking facilities will be developed this summer and the print inventory will be moving to PAFA in the coming weeks.

The nonprofit Princeton Integral Yoga Community Center (IYCC) will host yoga celebrity, musician, and author Wah! on June 28-29. Wah!’s music is often compared to that of Sade, Zero 7, and India.Arie, and her latest releases reflect the gritty dance grooves of her live performances. Having practiced hatha yoga and meditation since she was a teenager, Wah Devi graduated from Oberlin College with a degree in performing arts to evolve into the singer/ dancer/spiritual seeker known as Wah!. She took time postuniversity to travel to Ghana and Nigeria as a member of the Arthur Hall Dance Ensemble and live in an African shaman temple. Returning stateside, she spent a number of years composing and performing, most notably for the Angela Caponigro Dance Ensemble in New York City. She later began creating music specific to hatha yoga practitioners, and in 1993, she expanded her vision and formed a band, also called Wah!. As a group, they
A FUNNY THING: On June 29 and 30, the classic musical “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” will be performed as part of the Princeton Festival. This musical takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from the time-tested, 2000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright, Plautus, with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. In “Forum,” Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to gain his freedom by winning the hand of a beautiful courtesan named Philia for his young master, Hero. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors, and a showgirl or two. In other words, “something appealing, something appalling, something for everyone, a comedy tonight!” For tickets and more information, visit mccarter.org or call (609) 258-2787.

performed at numerous pop festivals and chanting retreats. Relocating to Los Angeles in 1995, Wah! gained recognition among the celebrity set, built a local following, and opened for Hole. Within a few years, Wah! released her first independent disc, Chanting With Wah! Combining traditional Indian instrumentation such as harmonium and tabla with electric bass and western rhythms quickly became her signature sound. Mid-1999 saw her offer yet another album, Krishna, and connect with fellow kirtan proponent Krishna Das. She toured with him for several years playing bass, violin, and contributing back-up vocals. Her latest book, Healing: A Vibrational Exchange introduces audiences to the concepts behind her music, focusing on ways one may create more space and healing in life. Her lectures have been welcomed at Princeton University, Loyola Marymount University and at EXPOs and conferences around the country. Her workshops aim to help people develop tools for self-healing and communication. She has performed at Fiske Planetarium, Franklin Institute, South Florida Museum’s Bishop Planetarium, Omega Institute, Globe Sound Healing Conference, N.J.

W
hy it has taken Disney and Pixar 14 years to release a follow-up to The Incredibles? It won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and grossed over $600 million at the box office. Meanwhile, creator Brad Bird made Ratatouille (2007), Mission: Impossible (2011), and Tomorrowland (2015) before turning to writing and directing Incredibles 2. Fortunately this sequel was well worth the wait. Most of the actors who played members of the crime-fighting Parr family are back. Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter reprise their roles as the parents Bob (Mr. Incredible) and Helen (Elastigirl), as do Eli Fucile and Sarah Vowell as baby Jack Jack and 14-year-old Violet. Ten-year-old Dash is now portrayed by Huck Milner, because the original kid’s voice deepened. Samuel L. Jackson has also returned as the family friend and fellow superhero Lucius Best/Frozone. Additions to the cast include Catherine Keener, Isabella Rossellini, and Bob Odenkirk. The picture picks up where the first left off. Jack Jack is still a toddler, and learning how to harness the superpowers that had just started to appear towards the end of the earlier movie. At the point of departure, we find
the Parrs being forced into retirement by a government agent (Jonathan Banks) because of the costly collateral damage of their last operation. Of course, that doesn’t last long. Helen is soon coaxed back into her superhero suit by a rich fan (Odenkirk) for a photo op designed to resurrect her disgraced family’s image. The sex role reversal has Bob stay at home to take over the child-rearing and domestic duties. Next, Helen is recruited to subdue Screenslaver (Bill Wise), a pizza delivery guy-turned-hacker who is hijacking people’s computer screens. Is someone else behind a diabolical plot to hypnotize all of humanity? If so, that might call for the rest of the Parrs to morph into their superhero alter egos and join the fight. What ensues is another visually-captivating, dizzying delight for young and old alike. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG for action and brief mild epithets. Running time: 118 minutes. Production Studios: Pixar Animation Studios/Walt Disney Pictures. Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. —Kam Williams

Stone, the 2013 NCAA saber champ, finished second in the women’s saber competition, going 5-0 in pool bouts before winning her first four rounds of directelimination bouts to make the final. That set up an all-U.S. championship bout against Dagmara Wozniak, which Wozniak won 15-9. Holmes, a runner-up at the 2017 NCAA finals in epee, who competed for the U.S. at the 2016 Summer Olympics, went 6-0 in pool bouts and won her round-of-32 bout against Canada’s Leonora Mackinnon 15-10 before falling 12-11 to Mexico’s Elizabeth Medina.

OH CANADA: Zach Currier ’17 heads to goal in his senior season for the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team. Last week, star midfielder Currier, a native of Peterborough, Ontario, was named to the Canadian national team for the upcoming World Lacrosse Championships next month in Israel. Currier ended his Princeton career with a brilliant campaign, piling up 24 goals, 34 assists, 130 ground balls, a team-best 27 caused turnovers, and a 57 percent winning percentage on face-offs. Currier has gone on to the pro ranks where he is a two-time Major League Lacrosse (MLL) all-star, and was one of the top rookies in the indoor National Lacrosse League this past season with the Calgary Roughnecks.

Mark Rosenbaum, who spent the last two seasons as an offensive assistant at Rutgers, will serve as the next wide receivers coach for the Princeton University football team, Tiger head coach Bob Surace said this week. Rosenbaum replaces Dennis Goldman, who retired in the offseason following a storied coaching career that spanned more than four decades. Rosenbau m pr imar ily worked with the wide receivers at Rutgers during his time there. Previous to that, he coached wide receivers at Moravian College during the 2015 season. With the Greyhounds, Rosenbaum performed a variety of roles that included instructing, preparing and organizing long term goals of the football program along with

increasing efficiency of the day-to-day operations. With the receivers, he directed daily meetings to cover passing concepts, run game responsibilities and techniques pertaining to receiver play. “Mark came to the interview very highly recommended and wowed us with his attention to detail and overall knowledge of wide receiver play,” said Surace, a two-time Ivy League Coach of the Year. “We believe Mark shares D en n is G old man’s work ethic and passion and will continue to help our wide receivers play at the standard Princeton football has seen the past eight years, and we are excited for an outstanding season as we get on the field in training camp in August.” Ros enbau m prev iously worked at his alma mater, Susquehanna, as an offseason student assistant from Nov. 2010 to March 2014.

In the early stages of his athletic career at the Lawrenceville School, Robert Mooney stamped himself as a college prospect in both soccer and lacrosse. But after suffering a injury in the fall of 2013 during his junior season with the Big Red boys’ soccer team, Princeton native Mooney turned his attention to lacrosse. “I figured after that I was going to dedicate myself to lacrosse,” said Mooney, who did return to the soccer pitch for his senior season and was Lawrenceville’s top scorer. “That summer I went to a bunch of showcases and luckily I went to the Yale one and they ended up committing me.” Making that commitment turned out to be a very lucky move for Mooney as he emerged as a key member of the Yale defensive unit by his sophomore season in 2017. This spring, Mooney earned second-team All-Ivy League honors on the way to helping the Bulldogs go 17-3 and win their first-ever NCAA title. W hen Mooney ar r ived at Yale in the fall of 2015, he wasn’t overly optimistic about his prospects of ever contributing to the Bulldogs. “I was actually not that confident going in; I thought I would be lucky to get time in my four years,” said Mooney. “I worked really hard that summer and put on a lot of weight. I became one of the most athletic guys on the team and ended up getting time my freshman year so I surprised myself with that.” I n t h e 2 016 s e a s o n , Mooney got on the field in the opening game, recording a caused turnover and gaining a comfort level as Yale topped UMass-Lowell 17-7. “It was nerve-wracking, I was nervous going into the first game but after that first run you kind of settle down and get into the flow of things,” said Mooney, who ended up playing in all
16 games that season and was second on the team in caused turnover (15). “It isn’t too bad after that. College is more of a communication game and team defense; that took a while to get adjusted to. It is way quicker than high school.” As a sophomore, the 6’4 Mooney grew into a force for the Bulldogs. “Our strength coach (Tom Newman) has a crazy program; I think that is one of the things that helped me in my sophomore year,” said Mooney, who had 22 ground balls and six caused turnovers as a sophomore. “I put on 30 pounds to 215. In my freshman summer before I was like 185. I ended up coming in sophomore fall at 230 and then cutting weight.” Coming into the 2018 season, Mooney sensed that Yale had the potential to be crazy good. “There was an extreme dedication to it and everyone knew that this was going to be the year; we had the most talent returning,” said Mooney. “Details went into every lift; any time we would mess up one detail, like someone put a foot on a line or someone jumped early on a whistle, anything like that, we would do crunches for 10 minutes.” In late April, the Bulldogs displayed their talent, turning heads by routing No. 2 Albany 14-6. “That was definitely a point when we realized how good we could be but coach [Andy] Shay keeps you focused and grounded the entire year,” said Mooney. “The focus was on you getting better every week. Even if you win, he will find something that you need to improve on.” The Yale defensive unit kept improving as the season went on. “It was definitely great to get Chris Fake [former Hun School star] in there, he is ridiculous,” said Mooney, who ended up with 18 ground balls and
14 caused turnovers this spring. “Jack [goalie Jack Starr] ended up hitting his stride at the end of the year, which was great. From the communication standpoint, it got to end of the year and we were making plays without even talking. We knew where each other was with the chemistry between us.” Although Yale ended the Ivy tournament by losing 14-8 to Cornell in the final, Mooney saw it as a blessing in disguise going into the NCAA tourney as the Bulldogs had fallen to Syracuse and Navy in the first round of the last two national tournaments. “The loss to Cornell just showed us we weren’t as good as we t hought we were,” said Mooney. “We won a bunch of games that weren’t close and we needed something to tell us that we still have things to work on and we need to get better. I think it really helped us. In my freshman and sophomore year, we won the Ivy and went into the tournament all happy whereas I think going in with a hunger was a good thing.” Eking out a 15-13 win over Massachusetts in the NCAA opener and then edging Loyola 8-5 in the quarterfinals showed Yale that it was getting better at dealing with tournament pressure. “It was good to get a tight game early just to help with your nerves; when it gets tight and on the line and
you pull it out, it gives you confidence,” said Mooney. “I think building off that, the Loyola win was a gritty performance.” In the national semis, Yale faced Albany in a rematch and the result was similar to the regular season meeting as the Bulldogs pulled away to a 20-11 triumph. “We were preparing for a tight game, we started out 7-0, which was great,” said Mooney. “That definitely gave us a little cushion to relax and get comfortable.” Mooney knew that Yale couldn’t relax as it faced high-powered Duke in the NCAA championship game. “Duke was a very talented team offense; we didn’t really focus on any specific player,” explained Mooney. “We just focused on ourselves, our slides and recovering, making sure that we set the edge and played really good team defense.” Yale jumped out to a 4-1 lead over the Blue Devils and built its advantage to 10-5 midway through the third quarter when Duke rallied to narrow the gap to 10-8. Mooney and his teammates, though, didn’t flinch in pulling out the 13-11 win. “Our coach prepared us for that, a big thing with him is resetting, not getting too high or too low,” said Mooney. “All week he preaches reset. If it is going really well, reset and get back to neutral. If we get scored on, who cares, just don’t take anything too personally, don’t get to high or too low. It is just play the game. I think we did a good job of that, getting a counter punch

e ver y t i m e t h e y fou g ht back. It was the ability to respond.” As sticks and gloves flew in the raucous postgame celebration, Mooney was too involved in the moment to put the title in perspective. “It didn’t really hit me after the game, I was kind of in shock,” said Mooney. “Looking back on the season and all the work we put in, it is such a great accomplishment to end your season on a happy note. We are the only team in the country
that had a happy ending to the season.” Spending this summer living in New York City and working in the financial sector, Mooney will be making time for weight training and stick work knowing that Yale’s foes will be looking to keep the Bulldogs from experiencing another happy ending next season. “It will give us more drive to do better, knowing that everyone is gunning for us,” said Mooney, an economics major. —Bill Alden

After Memorable PHS Football Experience, Musa Looking Forward to Sunshine Classic Even though the Princeton High football team went 1-19 in his two seasons as a star ting offensive lineman, Adam Musa doesn’t dwell on the steady d i e t of l o s i n g w h e n h e looks back on the experience. “I think of the teammates and the game and all of the fun hanging out with the guys,” said Musa. “You forge t ab out t he scores and all of that stuff. You just had a great time on the field playing with the guys. It is the memories you had together, the jokes you made and t he Saturday morning breakfas t s. We wou ld have cheesy potatoes come in and ever ybody would be f i g h t i n g e a c h ot h e r for those cheesy potatoes. We had a lot of fun with our line coach. We had a great time.” T his Fr iday evening, Musa will make one more football memor y as he plays for the West squad in the 22nd Sunshine Football Classic at The College of New Jersey. “It means a lot; I am really excited,” said the 6’0,
225 -pound Musa, who will be joined on the West roster by PHS teammates Vince Doran, Marqui McBride, and Moses Mahiri with Little Tiger head coach Charlie G allagher serving as offensive coordinator. “It is going to be a lot of fun for me. I am just happy to get one more game to play.” When Musa broke into the PHS starting lineup as a junior in the fall of 2016, he was excited for the challenge. “At the beginning of the year, I thought this was going to be hard, it was going to be intense,” said Musa. “Once the first couple of games went past, I got adjusted to to it and I realized it wasn’t too bad. It was a lot of fun; you are going up against good opponents.” A f te r a 1-9 c a m p a i g n t h at fa l l, M u s a a n d h i s classmates were primed for a big final season in 2017. “I knew it was going to be a challenge but I was ready for it,” said Musa. “We were all ready, we were excited. We saw the
schedule and we knew it wasn’t going to be an easy season. We were excited, motivated, and ready.” Unfortunately, the Little Tigers got hit with a string of injuries, star ting w ith losing quarterback Doran for the season on his first play, and str uggled to a 0-10 season. Musa and his fellow offensive linemen t r ied to hold t hings toget her for freshman quar terback Jake Renda as he took his lumps. “A lt hough we may not have had as experienced a quarterback back there, we were still going to do our job,” said Musa. “We were still going to work hard to protect him and give him the time he needs to throw the ball. Renda has a lot of potential.” Musa is looking to have a good time as he takes the football field for the last time in the Sunshine game. “I have been going since my freshman year, watching my buddies out there, the upperclassmen,” said Musa, who was the PHS recipient of the ScholarAt h lete Award f rom t he Del Val Chapter of the National Football Foundation and is headed to TCNJ. “It looked like a lot of fun, I wanted to be in their shoes. It is unbelievable, you don’t get many opportunities like this. I played with coach Gallagher for four years. I am excited to play with Vince, he is one of my best friends. It is going to be crazy, it is ‘let’s get this win.’” —Bill Alden
Spinal Stenosis The spinal column has open spaces that create passageways for the spinal cord and the spinal nerves. However, a serious condition occurs when the spinal column narrows thus putting pressure on the spinal column and nerves. This painful compression of the nerves is known as spinal stenosis. The pressure that occurs can cause pain, weakness and numbness, and is most common in the cervical and lumbar regions of the spine since the spinal column can narrow at any point from the head to the tailbone, including the center of the spine.
Ronnen Abramov, D.O
The cause of Spinal stenosis is commonly caused by excess growth of the bone around the spinal nerves which is the result of osteoarthritis. It can also result from a dislocation or a fracture of the vertebral bone, or by soft tissue intruding into the spine’s open spaces. Other culprits are herniated discs, tumors, and thickened spinal ligaments which press against the spinal nerves. Symptoms vary depending on the location and severity. Pain can radiate down the back, arms, and legs, indicating that there is a problem. The development of spinal stenosis can affect a person’s involuntary and voluntary functions, such as breathing, walking, and even bladder and bowel control. Treatment options may include anti-inflammatory pain relievers, such as ibuprofen and aspirin, muscle relaxants, or other pain relief medications. Physical therapy may also be recommended as stretching and adjusting posture may alleviate some pain and help patients get relief from the discomfort associated with spinal stenosis.

Suffering Injury that Sidelined Him for Senior Season, PHS Quarterback Doran Primed for Sunshine Game As Vince Doran took the field last August in the season opener for the Princeton High football team, he was poised for a big senior campaign. Coming off a superb junior campaign that saw the lefty quarterback throw 16 touchdown passes, Doran believed he could build on that success. “We were feeling good,” said Doran. “We had four out of five guys returning on the line so it was really a lot of confidence.” But on his first play from scrimmage against Hamilton, Doran got sacked and fell hard on his left shoulder. “I broke my collarbone on the first play, it felt pretty surreal in the moment,” said Doran. “It was a broken play, getting hit out of nowhere, trying to come up, and something feels weird. Playing Pop Warner and all of that stuff, I never broke a bone or anything, not even in high school, no injuries. At first I didn’t think it was real and then Ms. Koch [PHS trainer Shannon Koch] took a look at it and it was oh wow, oh man.” The injury ended Doran’s senior season and appeared to be the end of his football career. This Friday, though, Doran will get an unexpected chance for one more game as he was added to the West squad for the 22nd Sunshine Football Classic at The College of New Jersey. “A n o t h e r q u a r te r b a c k dropped out and coach [Charlie] Gallagher called me up and said ‘do you want to play’ and I said ‘sure, why not, I would have more more shot,’” said Doran, who will be joined on the West roster by Adam Musa, Marqui McBride, and Moses Mahiri with Little Tiger head coach Gallagher serving as offensive coordinator. Early in his PHS career, Doran had to wait to get his shot at quarterback as he backed up star David Beamer. “He set a great mentality for the whole team, it was good to follow,” said Doran of Beamer. “I learned from him in all different ways. He was a good role model to look up to coming into the program.” Branching out by playing safety as a sophomore gave Doran a different view of the game.
“It was a good experience, getting on the other side of the ball was fun,” said Doran. “It helped me gain more knowledge about the whole game.” Doran enjoyed a good experience as took the helm of the Little Tiger offense in 2016 as a junior. “I felt ready, it was a rebuilding year after David and Rory [Hellstrom] left,” said Doran, reflecting on the 1-9 campaign. “We threw the ball a lot that year so that was fun. Isaac Webb, Jakob Green, and Aidan Sarafin was a good trio of receivers, I was lucky to have them. My biggest improvement was just reading defenses, knowing when to go when they were in cover 2, knowing where to throw. Coach [Joe] Gargione really helped me, learning all of that stuff junior year.” Last fall, Doran tried to pass on some of that knowledge to freshman Jake Renda, who took over at quarterback.
“I helped Jake on sidelines during games, making sure he kept his composure and stuff like that,” said Doran. “He was a freshman and he had to step up in a really tough time for the team.” Doran and classmates held things together through the tough times as the Little Tigers went 0-10. “We were just trying to have fun with everything, some games were just really rough,” said Doran. “I will remember the team camaraderie, being with each other. We had to go through a lot of downs; it brought us together.” For Doran, playing in the Sunshine Classic is a fun way to end his football career. “It is definitely a good way to finish things off, just wrapping it up to put the cherry on top of everything,” said Doran, who is headed to the University of Mississippi. “I couldn’t play my senior year and now I get this shot. It is just the chance to be on the field and to get to know players from the other teams and work with them.” —Bill Alden
ONE MORE SHOT: Vince Doran prepares to pass for the Princeton High football team during the 2016 season.

As the Princeton Little League (PLL) squad hosted Millstone-Roosevelt in the two-team, double-elimination District 12 Intermediate 50/70 tournament last Friday at the Farmview Fields, it was determined to seize the momentum. “We were really looking to get out to a strong start, right from the get-go,” said PLL manager Jon Durbin. “I think the more positive the messaging to the players, the better starts you get out to. One of the things I have learned through the years is that you gave got to make them be confident in themselves and as a team. We have a history of getting off to a good start early in this tournament.” Living up to that history, PLL jumped out to a 3-1 first inning lead in the opener on the way to a 13-3 win. A day later, it was deja vu as the team cruised to another 13-3 victory to earn the District 12 crown. In reflecting on the District title, the fourth in six years for the PLL intermediate program, Durbin pointed to the team’s intensity in practice as a big factor in its success. “At our first district team practice two weeks ago, the boys made the commitment to play together as a team, battle, stay focused, and do whatever the team needed for the expressed goal to win the District Title and to hopefully play in the State Championship Tournament,” said Durbin. “I think we really set the tone w it h t he pract ices last week. Their high level of performance in the two
district games showed that they delivered on that commitment.” In preparing for the District tournament, PLL put a special emphasis on hitting. “ We br i n g b ac k a l u m players and coaches and we have them throw live batting practice from the mound,” said Durbin. “We don’t hit in the cages with this team ever, except in pregame.” T hat extra ef for t paid dividends as the PLL squad batted .397 as a team in the tournament with 23 hits and an on-base percentage of .521. “G ordon G ra ndb ouche had a s t a n dout tou r na ment; on offense, Grandbouche went 4-for-6 with two walks, a 2-run homer, 4 RBI’s and 6 runs,” said Durbin. “D a n ny H arla n h ad a great offensive tournament going 5-for-8 with 5 RBI’s, including several clutch hits with two outs. AJ Surace went 3-for-6 scoring 5 runs, and did a great job catching behind the plate.” Princeton also excelled in pitching and defense, yielding just 7 hits, 3 earned runs, 5 walks with a team ERA of 1.75 in the tournament and committing only two errors. “Rohan Sheth did a great job as the starting pitcher in Game 1, getting us off to a strong start, going 4 1/3rd innings giving up 4 hits, with 5 strikeouts and 1 earned run,” added Durbin. “Gordon was the starting pitcher in Game 2, going 5 innings giving up only 3 hits, with 4 strikeouts and 2 earned runs. On defense, Grand-
bouche did a stellar playing center field in Game 1.” Mindful of PLL’s success over the years in the tourney, the players brought a special motivation into the competition. “We have built up enough of a tradition now with the intermediate district tournament and the sectional tournament that this group was really determined to keep up with the guys that came before them,” said Durbin. “They really wanted the banner and they really wanted a championship sign up over at Grover at our other complex because they have been following the guys that have been in front of them in recent years and have enjoyed a lot of success.” The PLL squad will be looking to enjoy success in the Section 3 tournament, which starts on June 29 and is being held in Middletown. “Now we’ve got to continue our progression of getting ready at our special practices this week for sectionals, where the competition level will be higher and the game will be played with even more power and speed,” added Durbin. “I feel like with this group, if we keep playing at this level, we will be competitive at sectionals.” —Bill Alden

Building on Big Senior Season for Hun Baseball, Wijaya Helping Post 218 Get on Winning Track Adam Wijaya saved his best for last this spring as he helped the Hun School baseball team win its third straight state Prep A title. The star third baseman produced a huge senior year, batting .452 with a team-high 28 hits as the Raiders went 15-6 on the way to the three-peat. Looking to build on that progress, the Hamilton College-bound Wijaya joined t he P r i nceton Pos t 218 American Legion team this summer. “I was contacted by coach [Tommy] Parker and coach [Paul] Sumners about putting together a team they thought would be bet ter than the previous years,” said Wijaya, noting the roster includes Hun teammates Chris Murdock and Thomas Ramsay along with Princeton Day School standouts Matt Nyce and Luke Franzoni and Princeton High stars Teddy Durbin, Paul Cooke, Jaedyn Paria, and Zack Yoelson. “I was really interested in coming together from nothing and trying to put together a team.” Despite the influx of talent, the team struggled as it star ted 0 -10. But last Wednesday, Post 218 produced a breakthrough, routing Ewing Post 314 14-0 to get into the win column. “It was there all along, we just couldn’t put it together, we went into extra innings

with different teams,” said Wijaya, who contributed an RBI in the victory. “Finally, we were able to put it together and come up with a big win. Everything came together, the hits, the defense, and the pitching; it was great.” While Princeton fell 12-0 to Allentown a day after the win over Ewing, Wijaya believes the squad is headed in the right direction. “We know what we need to work on,” said Wijaya, w h o s m a c ke d a d o u b l e in the loss to Allentown. “Coach Parker has been preaching the whole season about working together as a team and not focusing on yourself. That is what we are working towards.” On Saturday, Post 218 put in some good work as it defeated Trenton Post 93/182 3-2 in the completion of a game suspended on June 5 and then topped Trenton 24-7 in the regularly-scheduled contest in improving to 3-11. “ We s t i l l h av e l o t of games, it is a lot of opportunities,” said Wijaya, who will be looking to help keep Post 218 on the winning track as it hosts Allen-
town on June 27 and West Windsor-Plainsboro on June 28 before playing at South Brunswick Post 401 on June 29. “We have just got to stick it to them first. The one thing we did in the Ewing game that we haven’t done all season is score in the first inning; that sets the tone for the rest of the game instead of trying to scrap home runs in the fifth and the sixth like we have been doing. If we do that, we will be good.” As Wijaya looks ahead to his matriculation to Hamilton and joining its Division III program, he believes that competing for Post 218 will be good preparation for the jump to college baseball. “The competition here is great; I think it is the best in the state that you are going to get in the summer,” said Wijaya. “I am get ting a lot of mental reps and seeing live pitching. Today we saw a kid (Brandon Gaul of Allentown) who is also playing in college. He was throwing it all over the strike zone, so he was great. We get some very elite pitchers, we get some other pitchers who are young kids. It is awesome.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Bailey’s All-Around Contribution, LoyalTees Tops Majeski, Now 4-0 in Summer Hoops It was a battle of unbeatens when LoyalTees faced Majeski Foundation last Monday evening in t he Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League. Terrance Bailey and his LoyalTees teammates were primed for the clash at the Community Park courts. “We knew this was going to be a tough game,” said Bailey. “We just wanted to come out and keep the tone going and set it right.” L oyalTees fell beh ind 9-4 in the early going to Majeski, whose roster is comprised of players from The College of New Jersey men’s hoops team, but battled back to knot the game at 33-33 at halftime. “We had to keep our composure,” said Bailey. “We
are a real talented team and sometimes we get the urge just to go instead of slowing it down, swinging the ball and taking the best shots.” In the second half, LoyalTees utilized some aggressive play at both ends of the court in pulling away to a 73-62 win as it improved to 4-0. “We needed to at tack more, we were set tling more behind the line in the first half and shooting more 3s than going inside,” said Bailey, who par ticularly relished the victory as a former TCNJ player who competed for Majeski last summer. “Rebounding was a big key for us too. I felt that as soon as we calmed down, everything fell into place.
We went to the hole and we were finishing our layups. It was a good game.” A big key for LoyalTees in its hot start has been its good inside-out game which features Nick Davidson and Zahrion Blue patrolling the paint with Vince Anfield, Davon Black, Eric Murdock Jr., and Bailey attacking from the perimeter. “Vince and Murdock are the two point guards, they set the tone for Davon, Nick, and me,” said Bailey, who scored 18 points in the win with Davidson tallying 22 to lead the way. “Once they get it going, we feed off of their energy.” The versatile Bailey is looking to bring energy and production to LoyalTees. “I am here for everything, scoring, rebounding, whatever they need,” said Bailey. “I can get two points, three rebounds, and lock
down on defense. If we win, I don’t care.” After LoyalTees pulled out a tough 60-55 win over NJ Spiritwear on opening night, its players developed a better sense of what each needed to do for the squad. “We picked up quick because we are all talented players,” said Bailey. “Our biggest challenge was having this many people together, this much talent, and adapting to it. After the first game, we knew everybody’s role. We are quick learners, we are quick on our feet. We are ready to go.” In Bailey’s v iew, LoyalTees is ready to make a title run this summer. “If we keep our composure, don’t get big-headed and bring this type of intensity to every game, we will be hard to stop,” said Bailey. —Bill Alden

Gustav L. Stewart, III Gustav L. “Gus” Stewart, III, 92, of Fitchburg, died peacefully June 15, 2018 in his summer home at Lake Hewitt, N.Y. Gus was born in New York City on February 23, 1926, a son of the Late Gustav L. Stewart, Jr. and Sarah (Sage) Stewart McAlpin. He attended the Middlesex School in Concord, Mass., w h e r e h e p l aye d m a n y sports, including tennis and soccer. He later went on to attend Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., where he was involved in numerous activities, such as the tennis team, yearbook board, and squash team. Gus proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during World War II, stationed in the Philippines, as a radio operator and repairman. In the 1950s Gus became the Director of Athletes for the Harvey School in Hawthorne, N.Y. He was in charge of scheduling games for over 20 teams each year for all the major sports. Later, Gus went on to work for the Applewild School in Fitchburg, not only as the Director of Athletes, but also as a 5th, 6th, and 7th grade teacher of History, Geography, and English. He was a longtime member of the Board of Directors of Our Fathers House. His other activities included volunteering at Burbank Hospital, working as a counselor of the Clear Pool Camp in N.Y., operating the ski lift at Mt. Wachusett, and working in his store, Gus Stewart’s Paintings, in Fitchburg. Gus was a member of Christ Church in Fitchburg. He enjoyed spending his summers in his home on Lake Hewitt in N.Y., where he served as Past President of the Lake Club. He is survived by his niece L eslie Stewar t-Reinig of Ober-Ramstadt, Germany and his nephew John C. Stewart Jr. of Barcelona, Spain. G u s w a s pr e d e c e a s e d by his mother Sarah Sage McAlpin of Princeton; his father Gustav L Stewart Jr. of South Kortright, N.Y.;
Arthur J. Conley Arthur J. Conley, 94, of Princeton died peacefully on June 24, 2018. The cause of death was from intestinal complications. He was a longtime resident of New Jersey, first in Chatham, then Madison, and finally for 29¾ years in Princeton. He was born in Oconto, Wis., the son of Walter and Marie Levasseur. He was raised in Green Bay, Wis., by his paternal grandparents, Arthur and Hattie Levasseur who ran a small neighborhood grocery store. At age 12 he joined his stepfather, Robert H. Conley, and mother in Chicago, Ill. He attended Northwest-
ern Universit y where he was a member of the Naval R.O.T.C. In 1944 upon the completion of his junior year, at the age of 20, he was commissioned an ensign and assigned to the USS Anacapa AG49, a cargo ship operating in World War II in the Central Pacific and Aleutian Islands. He remained on board for two years, serving as navigator. At the end of the war he returned to Northwestern where he completed his academic work under the GI Bill. He graduated in 1947 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. In the same year he married Patricia Thompson. While on their honeymoon he was interviewed by the Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co., now 3M. He was offered and accepted a job at their Akron, Ohio plant. After three years in Akron he moved to New Jersey to take up a position with the Keuffel and Esser Co., the makers of the famous slide rules and surveying instruments. He remained with K&E for 17 years. At age 42 he applied for and was awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship at Columbia Universit y’s Teachers College where he earned a Master’s Degree. He then began a 22-year career teaching secondary school mathematics and physics, first at the Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart in Princeton and then at the Kent Place School in Summit. In 1979, after the death of his wife in 1977, he married Louse Connolly who was then Director of Guidance at Kent Place School, and upon his retirement he moved to Princeton. He was an avid reader, a rabid Green Bay Packers fan, a consummate Anglophile, and enthusiastic photographer, a hobby that kept him occupied up to his death. He left behind thou-

“Good Night Sweet Prince” Errol Cross McDowell January 19, 2000 — June 13, 2018 On Ju ne 13t h, our beloved son Er rol Cross McDowell, 18, died in our arms at home in Pebble Beach, California, after a six year fight with brain cancer. Errol waged his battle courageously and with grace, wit, and selflessness, just as he lived his short glorious life. We loved him so and shall miss him forever. Errol was unique, an emblem of all that is good; he sacrificed his own health while enduring one after another clinical trial to cure his cancer. Often he was the first person to submit to a specific therapy, knowing that while he might not survive, he would be advancing science that could lead to a cure for other children. Errol was a creative prodigy, playing Joplin on the piano at 10 years old, making his own short films, drawing constantly, and reading voraciously. He appeared in two off-Broadway plays and three movies (including the ribald Joe Dirt 2!) and co-wrote one book, Brain Frizzlers. His musical taste spanned the generations from Maroon Five to Dinah Washington and Chet Baker. His favorite books were The Great Gatsby and Noah Dietrich’s The Amazing Mr. Hughes. He loved his parents Tori and Rider, twin brothers Mac and Piers, his wonderful friends, his aunts and uncles, cousins, his grandparents Rita and Sam and Bill and Betty, Sam’s weekly drawing and scrimshaw lessons in his Carmel studio, bad horror movies, Pine Brothers, laughing, the New Jersey farm, pool hopping at La Quinta, crank calls, Mustique, his teachers at All Saints’ Day School and Carmel High School. He was proud of his family and their contribution to America, including surgeon Ephraim McDowell of Kentucky and Thomas Hart Benton, the artist, as well as the Knight, Cross, and Von der Brelie families. A private service will be held among family. In lieu of flowers, please visit Canceragogo. com, a charity created by Errol, seeking $1 from every American to cure cancer through immunotherapy.

When an agency handles the entire sale - both the seller’s end and the buyer’s it’s referred to as a dual agency. And while it may sound like a convenient option, you’re almost always better off working with your own buyer agent instead of opting to use the listing agent. Having your own buyer agent means your interests come first, so you can feel confident you’ll have complete, individual, unbiased representation, which ever property you purchase. No matter where you are in your home search, take the time to find your own buyer agent for greater peace of mind.

Buying a home seems straightforward enough. But in reality, the purchase process can be quite complex, which is one reason why having a buyer agent to guide you through your purchase is so important. If you haven’t already started working with your own buyer agent, it can be tempting to simply engage with the agent that’s representing the seller, especially if you’ve started your search by attending a lot of open houses. After all, the listing agent already knows the home and the seller - why not hire them to handle your end of the transaction as well?
