About two hundred Princeton community members gathered last Wednesday night for a forum sponsored by the town, the school district, and the religious community in response to recent police shootings of black men and sniper attacks on police.

The event, held in the John Witherspoon School auditorium, featured speeches and a dialogue between African-American Tone Bellamy, former Trenton gang member, now Stone Hill Church elder, Sunday School teacher, facilities associate, and hip-hop artist and Princeton Police Officer Bill Kieffer.

The loudest, longest applause of the evening came when Mr. Bellamy asked police officers in the audience to stand.

“Right now in our country law enforcement officers are under extreme amounts of pressure and in need of encouragement,” Mr. Bellamy said. “We appreciate you. I thought it was important to do that from this platform.”

Emphasizing the key note for the evening, he continued, “We must humanize first. And we must learn to empathize, to create space to listen to people who have different perspectives than we have.

We must create contexts like this where people can come together and create a sense of familiarity. We must humanize and empathize. Then and only then we can begin to change the narrative.”

In her opening remarks, Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert framed the proceedings, “The haunting images and videos we’ve all watched have been forever seared in our minds. These have been difficult and painful events to process and they can have the terrible power to deepen divisions and fears, but at the same time they can also compel us to come together, to create the kinds of relationships and the kind of community where every single man, woman and child feels belonging and connection.”

She continued, “It is my hope that by coming together as a community tonight and by having conversations like the one we’ll have this evening, by understanding a multitude of perspectives and taking steps towards reconciliation, we can be a community of openness and trust, of belonging and connection.”

Stating that Princeton is not without its problems and challenges, Ms. Lempert Continued on Page 6

Princeton Gets Drenched by Saturday Storm

The afternoon rain storm that soaked the Princeton area last Saturday paralyzed traffic and closed roads in several areas of town. But by Tuesday, most everything was back to normal.

More than seven inches of hard-driving rain flooded Hinds Plaza and sent water rushing into the Community Room of Princeton Public Library, raised water to unprecedented levels at Princeton Junction train station in West Windsor, and flooded Princeton High School’s boiler room and the orchestra pit in its performing arts center. Quaker Road, Route 206, and parts of South Harrison Street, Alexander Road, Nassau Street, Dodds Lane, and Hamilton Avenue were impassable because of high water levels. There was flooding between Princeton-Kingston Road and the border of Montgomery Township.

Police, fire, and emergency workers were kept busy all afternoon. “We had four water rescues,” said Princeton’s

Emergency Management director Bob Gregory. “All were cars that tried to get through moving water. One car had seven people inside.”

The water rescues were on University Place by Dickinson Street, on Alexander Street at West Drive, on South Harrison Street, and River Road. A fire in a garage at the historic house known as The Barracks on Edgehill Street was quickly contained by Princeton firefighters.

“It looks like the garage flooded,” Mr. Gregory said. “The way the property slopes down, water got into the electrical system. But the fire department did a good job of holding it to the garage area.

There was a lot of smoke damage in the house, though, and water damage to the basement and first floor. The person who owns it lives there and rents the attached cottage. Thankfully, the original part was not damaged.”

There were several calls for help from people whose basements were inundat-

ed. The residents of 43 White Pine Lane had to be evacuated. “That house had at least six or seven feet of water, and it was moving to the first floor,” Mr. Gregory said.

“That was the worst of it.”

Princeton Public Library had to close Saturday afternoon when water began rushing into the first floor. The library reopened on Sunday. “We were really, really lucky. And my colleagues did an amazing job,” said library director Brett Bonfield.

“They worked really hard for several hours and got the remediation company in.”

Mr. Bonfield was speaking from Venice, where he flew on vacation Sunday night.

“I was called on Saturday afternoon,” he said. “By the time I got there, which was not long at all, they were getting people out of the building. They were afraid people would slip because water was coming in so quickly. Everybody jumped in with mops and vacuums, and got right on top of it. These really devoted people made Continued on Page 15

New Rules Proposed For Removing Trees Under Town’s Protection

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: Saturday’s flood created the illusion of an upside-down world in the lobby of the library .

(Photo Courtesy of the Princeton Public LIbrary)

Concerned about trees being removed when houses are torn down to make way for new construction, Princeton Council introduced an ordinance July 29 that would change the rules about cutting down trees that are under municipal protection.

A public hearing on the measure is scheduled for next week’s Council meeting on August 8. The ordinance, which was originally consolidated in 2014, is the culmination of work by the Shade Tree Commission. Under the suggested ruling, the size of a tree being removed is taken into consideration regarding how many replacement trees must be planted in its place.

Currently, it is a “one-to-one” situation in which a tree of any diameter is replaced by just one tree. A tree with a trunk diameter of 39 inches or more, for instance, would have to be replaced by four plantings. This would apply on private property or in a public setting, such as a park or right of way. Residents who choose not to replant would also have the option of paying into a fund that is used to plant and maintain trees on public land. Fees could range up to $1,600 depending on the size of the tree being removed. But residents can’t just pay the fees. They must plant, Continued on Page 15

There are many ways to honor a life well lived. For centuries the most beautiful and enduring of these memorials have been rendered using stone. Cremation is becoming increasingly popular, as it can be more space-efficient and environmentally friendly in comparison with traditional burial or entombment.

Trenton Lot Continued from Preceding Page

East Trenton Collaborative, TASK, the Escher SRO Project, Helping Arms, the Trenton Rescue Mission, the City of Trenton, and Mercer County] came together to talk about what this could become. A farm was what was decided.”

Negotiating the purchase was “a little tricky,” Ms. Mead said. “We had to set up where the funding would come from to do the environmental remediation. We were able to shepherd the plan through the Department of Environmental Protection and oversee the remediation work. The acquisition was completed at the end of 2014, and the remediation work was finished last fall.

We had our first growing season this year.”

Because of environmental issues, the land can’t be farmed in the traditional way. “We couldn’t go below a certain point with digging.

So we’ve done raised beds,” Ms. Mead said. The property includes “hoop houses” to start seeds. Beyond them, eggplants, tomatoes, herbs, squash, and other vegetables are coming up. Beehives are in the rear of the property.

This first growing season was not easy because of the amount of topsoil and fill that had to be brought in.

“The plants weren’t producing. We worked with Isles, replanted, and got a donation of a truckload of mushroom compost,” Ms. Mead said.

“We dug that into the planting beds, and we’re hoping to have more things in the fall.”

Working with TASK, the farm has hired two people from the surrounding neighborhood to help with the planting and maintenance.

One grew up across the

street. “His name is Derrick Branch, and he has been great,” Ms. Mead said. “Derrick helped paint the container we have on site, and then started helping as a volunteer. We ended up giving him a job. He loves it because his grandparents were actually farmers. He’s very proud that he’s doing this.”

Efforts to engage those beyond the local community are centered on Monthly Field Days, the next of which is scheduled for Saturday, August 20. The family-oriented day of activities will be focused on wildflowers, with printmaking, scavenger hunts, and making small planters to take home. Visitors can also tour the farm and buy produce at the farm stand.

The farm is also open Tuesday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for visitors, and Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-11:30 a.m. for volunteers. A free meal for children under 18 is served every Wednesday during the summer from noon-1 p.m.

“We’re thinking about ways to make this available to the neighbors. We want to create healthy, nutritious food in the neighborhood,” said Ms. Mead. “In addition to a farm stand, we’re thinking about ways people can be involved, to engage and reward them.

We’ve talked about vouchers, maybe a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) kind of thing.”

While Capital City Farm is only in its first season, there are signs that it is having the desired effect. “People are curious,” Ms. Mead said, “especially those who come to the Soup Kitchen. Some teenagers from the neighborhood are excited about working on the farm. People are stopping by. It’s been an interesting thing to watch.”

Community Gathering continued from page one

asserted that on issues of race and community-building, “the work in communities like Princeton will set the national model.”

Stone Hill Church pastor Matt Ristuccia explained that the goals of the forum would be “to learn, to listen, to understand, to humanize” in response to the recent tragedies and an appeal from President Obama to hold community gatherings where people on different sides of the issues get together and talk.

Mr. Bellamy, who labeled himself “pro-cop and antipolice brutality,” was candid in sharing “his feelings and fears as a black man in America.” He questioned “When will Dr. King’s dream become a reality?” and added, “I am an angry black guy, and I am tired.” Mr. Bellamy described being pulled over frequently by the police and having difficulty empathizing with white police officers, often failing to see them as human beings like himself.

After recent positive interactions with white police officers, including one-on-one meetings with Officer Kieffer and with Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter, learning something about their lives and their families, Mr. Bellamy stated, “I’m learning to empathize with those who have different narratives than me.”

He made three different appeals to the audience: to the head, the need to revisit history in striving towards healing (“We can’t address the hurts of today without first revisiting the hurts of yesterday”); to the heart, in a call to share feelings and experiences, what it looks like and feels like to be a black man, a white cop or a resident of Princeton and to understand, empathize, and humanize the other; and to the hands, a call to action “to begin to change the narrative.”

Officer Kieffer, one of 53 members of the Princeton Police Department (PPD) and vice president of the officers’ union, spoke about his perspectives and feelings as a police officer in the current climate of tension throughout the country. About a dozen police

officers were in the audience.

He described his reactions to news of the shootings of officers in Dallas following a peaceful protest. Mr. Kieffer was on night duty as the news came in about the ambush, the planning and purposeful pre-meditation, and he was “bewildered, confused, and scared.”

He mentioned the numerous jobs required of a police officer, one minute enforcing traffic laws, the next serving as an animal control officer or a family counselor or a mental health expert or even a plumber — “watching their toilets overflow with them and giving them advice.”

He mentioned that traffic stops and domestic disputes were the two most dangerous assignments for police officers and pointed out that the PPD had taken a proactive approach, emphasizing sensitivity training, profiling training, cultural diversity training, and de-escalation training (learning to take the extra time necessary to calm down potentially volatile situations).

Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Bellamy both talked about their families’ concerns for their safety.

They clearly expressed and showed the respect and friendship they have developed for each other.

“It’s not normal for a black man and a white police officer to be in the same space and feel comfortable,” Mr. Bellamy said, but, he continued, “I’ve learned to appreciate the person behind the badge and his family and to humanize him as a person and an officer.”

Rabbi Adam Feldman followed up with comments and questions for the two speakers, before the gathering broke up into three smaller discussion groups.

“This evening was beyond what any of us hoped for, so incredibly worthwhile in so many ways,” stated Mr. Ristucchi, who was one of the organizers of the forum.

“Tonight’s not just about tonight,” Rabbi Feldman said. “it’s about the dialogue that’s started between these two great men — a dialogue that we need to continue to have.”

“What were your impressions of the Republican and Democratic Conventions?”

—Shirley Botkin, Largo, Fla.

Five Princeton residents will be competing for three open seats in Princeton School Board elections on November 8.

Ravi Bala of Valley Road, Deborah “Debbie” Bronfeld of Dodds Lane, William D. Hare of Jefferson Road, John Alexander Martin of Hun Road, and Gregory M. Stankiewicz of Jefferson Road filed necessary papers last week and will be seeking to replace outgoing board members Molly Chrein, Tom Hagedorn, and Andrea Spalla, whose terms expire at the end of the year.

Ms. Spalla is currently serving as Board president.

Mr. Hare, a patent lawyer with three children in the Princeton schools, commented on the importance of the schools and the upcoming election. “Having five people running for three spots hopefully will cause this race to be more noticeable on everyone’s radar, bring attention to the importance of this institution, and result in the election of three well qualified individuals who will make a positive contribution to our schools.”

Expressing his gratitude for the excellent school system — in academics, sports, clubs, and the arts, Mr. Hare added, “If elected, I would like to help with fiscal planning, contribute a commonsense voice to our school system’s growth, and be accessible to others’ concerns.”

Ms. Bronfeld, who has worked in non-profit organizations for the past ten years and is the mother of a 2015 Princeton High School graduate and a current ju-

nior, decided to run for the school board after becoming “increasingly concerned as a citizen and a parent” about two years ago during the prolonged contract negotiations.

“I realized it was time for me to get involved,” she said.

“I was worried about whether my younger son and the children of my neighbors and friends were going to get the same opportunities that my older son got. I felt strongly about the school system and was interested in education for all the children at all levels — the advanced kids, but also the middle and lower levels.

You want to make sure that important things aren’t cut from the program.”

Ms. Bronfeld concluded, “I want to make sure that the district continues its excellent tradition, but as the population grows and changes, I want to make sure that we as a school are able to grow and change also.”

Mr. Bala, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Stankiewicz were not available for comment at press time, but will be consulted for a more comprehensive, pre-election story in the coming months.

Board of Education members serve for three-year terms and are not paid. The most important functions of the Board include setting and maintaining policies, approving the annual school budget, representing the community’s educational philosophy, and hiring and annual evaluation of the superintendent.

weight rooms. MunicipaliNew Mercer at Play Grants Announced by County Executive ties must carefully detail

Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes on July 8 announced that his administration will open up a new round of matching grants for the Mercer at Play program, which encourages municipalities to provide active recreation areas for kids.

Mr. Hughes made the announcement at Central Park in L aw rence, where t he township will seek to build a u n ivers ally acces sible playground through Mercer at Play. He was joined by state, county, and municipal officials who expressed support for the program that the county executive introduced in 2006 to help local towns expand their active recreation facilities.

“Ten years later I’m thrilled with the range of innovative projects that have been completed or are near completion, totaling $6.5 million,” Mr. Hughes said. “From skate parks and bocce, to good old basketball and tennis, through Mercer at Play every one of our towns has been able to build or renovate active recreation projects.

“As a parent, I know how challenging it is to keep kids active and engaged when they have so many devices to distract them. I believe it is up to us as leaders to provide outlets for children to go out and play.”

Through Mercer at Play, municipalities can seek funding for outdoor recreational facilities such as playing fields, playgrounds, skate parks or walking trails, and indoor uses such as swimming pools, gymnasiums or

projected costs in their proposal, and provide a rough construction schedule for the proposed facility. The county reviews proposals on a case-by-case basis; when it approves a proposal, it provides a matching grant to help finance construction costs. Projects done cooperatively by two or more municipalities are eligible for a 100 percent matching grant from the county, while individual municipal projects can receive a 50 percent matching grant.

Lawrence Township was one of the first towns to participate in the first round of funding when it partnered w ith Hopewell Borough, Hopewell Tow nship and Pennington to acquire the former Twin Pines Airport and develop the site into playing fields. Mayor David Maffei announced that the township will seek a new Mercer at Play grant to help fund the installation of a playground featuring a special rubberized surface that would accommodate both walkers and wheelchairs.

“What I am truly excited about is that all children will be able to visit this playground, and there will be equipment that meets all needs,” Mayor Maffei said.

“All family members, regardless of age or infirmity, will be able to join in family activities at this playground.”

Mr. Hughes noted just a few years after Mercer Count y launched Mercer at Play, First Lady Michelle Obama in 2010 introduced her Let’s Move! public health campaign to encourage a healthy lifestyle in children.

“I believe our program is in step with her national plan to create substantive changes for our kids,” he said.

Mailbox When Walnut Lane Becomes a River, Flooding Can Hit Princeton High School

To the Editor: There’s a story that needs to be told about this past Saturday’s intense rains. As the heavy rain became even more intense, I knew there would be flooding at Princeton High School. It had flooded during hurricanes in 2009 and 2011, and sure enough, when I arrived Saturday afternoon, umbrella in hand, storm water was cascading down the outside stairs into the PHS basement, and was seeping under doors into the band rooms and onto the performing arts stage. I called 911. In 2009, the wooden stage warped from the moisture and had to be replaced.

The additions to Princeton High School for science and performing arts are lovely spaces with one very serious flaw. The architect made them lower than Walnut Lane.

The design depended completely on storm drains to carry runoff away from the school, but when those pipes become overwhelmed, there’s no place for the extra storm water to go. Surface topography rules. Walnut Lane becomes a river whose waters flow into the school.

A science teacher and I were motivated to diagnose the problem and offer a solution. With students, we had converted the detention basin between the science and arts wings into a thriving ecolab wetland full of native plants, frogs, and crayfish. The basin still serves its function to hold storm water, but became much, much more — a minirefuge and ecological teaching tool.

After the 2009 flood, some staff tried to blame the plants for the flooding, but we showed this not to be the case.

We showed how, with only a curb-cut and minor excavation, water from the Walnut Lane “river” could be made to flow harmlessly away from the school and into an empty field at Westminster Choir College. Our understanding was that the field can never be built on, and Westminster’s periodic use of the PHS space would make it willing to cooperate.

We shared this proposal with the powers that be, and nothing happened. Periodically over the past five years, I’ve sent emails to town engineers, school superintendents, and facilities staff, saying something needs to be done.

Surprise. People are busy.

Flooding, like climate change, is deceptive. Sure, we spend our days using machines that spill more and more carbon into the air, but most of the time, everything seems fine. Our exhaust pipes offer no visual evidence that they are weapons aimed at the future. Evidence of the flood, at least outside the school, has already disappeared. With no visual cues, few can hear the underlying scream of urgency.

On Saturday, we saw the consequence of that inaction.

It’s all the more unfortunate because the runoff from our buildings and parking lots can be used to feed beautiful plantings, as we’ve demonstrated at the high school’s ecolab wetland. Water can be a blessing or a vandal. It flows downhill and feeds plants. These are simple rules.

If we follow them, in our yards and public spaces, we will have a safer, more attractive town and be better prepared to weather the climatic extremes our machine culture is brewing.

PRINCETON PERSONALITY

Pam Mount Has a History of Community Service Working for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

“I

have worked at the W hite House and met leaders around the world, and Pam is the real thing! She is at the top of my list as a genuine world class hero.”

This sentiment, expressed

by Princeton resident William Golden, is shared by many others. Executive director of the National Institute on Coastal Infrastructure, and formerly with the Environmental Protection Agency, Mr. Golden is very aware of the countless ways in which Pam Mount’s ability and contributions have influenced people throughout the Princeton and Lawrenceville communities.

Together with her husband Gary Mount, she has expanded the scope of the original Terhune Orchards and introduced safe and upto-date farming practices.

Serving on the Lawrence To w n s h i p C o u n c i l, M s.

Mount brought the needs for sustainability to the forefront, and formed coalitions with fellow council members and community residents to find ways to preserve open space and protect the environment. Her leadership abilities were a major factor in achieving success in these areas.

As her friend Lawrenceville resident, and former Princeton store owner Teresita Bastides-Heron points out, “Pam’s contributions have to a large extent established what is good about Lawrence Township. During her tenure as councilwoman and mayor, she was very helpful in the creation of the Lawrence Nature Center, and she is one of the founders of Sustainable Lawrence. She is an inspiration to us all.”

Wife, mother of three, grandmother of nine, friend, and volunteer, Pam Mount has made a difference to her family, her friends, and her community.

Happy Memories Bor n in Nor t hampton, Mass., Pam was the middle child of Herbert and Elizabeth Hasenzahl. She and her two sisters, Barbara and Margo, lived in a large three-story Victorian house,

which, as Pam remembers, was an intr ig uing place to explore. “I have happy memories of that big house.

It was fun to investigate all its nooks and crannies.”

Pam and her sisters had a wide circle of friends, and spent a lot of time playing outdoors. “We’d get on our bikes and ride all over town, climb trees, and just have fun being outside. We also took family trips to Cape Cod.” They lived next door to the Clark School for the Deaf, and one of the students there became Pam’s close friend. “The school was founded by Alexander Graham Bell,” explains Ms. Mount. “He believed in helping deaf people to learn to read lips and talk by means of a special method.

“When I was in the third grade, I met a girl there, Lynn, and we became fast friends. There was a lot of mixing with the deaf and hearing kids. I learned to read lips, and Lynn could too, and she was able to talk fairly well. We went to summer camp together.

“Knowing Lynn has influenced my life. She found ways of coping, and I found ways of coping. For some people, when they come to a stone wall they stop and turn back. Others come to the wall and find a way to get over it. The relationship with Lynn and living in the college town were big influences on me.”

Pam’s friendship with Lynn was important in another respect. Pam was found to have a mild form of dyslexia, and some subjects in school were difficult for her to master. Seeing how Lynn coped with her own difficulty was an inspiration to Pam, and despite any challenges she persevered and enjoyed school.

Art Classes “Some of the subjects were hard for me, but I loved art and the art classes. I actually loved school. In eighth grade, after we moved to Princeton, I had a wonderful art teacher at Valley Road School, and I did all the pictures for the eighth grade

year book.”

The family had moved to Princeton in 195 8, and that was a change f rom life in Northampton, remembers Pam. “Princeton really reminded me of Cape Cod w ith all the shops and the downtown.

It wasn’t li ke t hat i n Northampton. A lso, I l ove d t h e grass playing fields at Valley Road for field hockey and other sports. I also COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: “Being part of the community will always be the met five girls driving force of what we do at Terhune’s, welcoming people to the farm and in school who being engaged with them and the community.” Pam Mount, owner with her have been my husband Gary, of Terhune Orchards, has always been active in the commugood friends nity, serving on Lawrence Township Council and as Mayor, and she continues ever since.” to be engaged in the important issues of the day.

she recalls.

Returning to the campus for senior year, Pam continued to take art and education courses, as well as paint, which she had always enjoyed. She also taught art in internships, and worked as a student aide and assistant to the art department.

In addition, she was involved in the student government, and served as a dorm rep, helping to create policy.

Seniors were required to write a comprehensive independent paper, she explains, adding, “I wanted to go into the Peace Corps then, but I was also deciding whether to get married. So, I did my research on decision-making, and wrote the paper on that. The title was ‘If I Didn’t Need You, I’d Be Okay’. It was focused on how to determine what to do with my life.”

As it turned out, both the Peace Corps and marriage carried the day. “Gary and I were married three days after I graduated, and then we went to Micronesia in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, to a little island, Satawal,” says Pam. “It was one mile long and one and a half miles wide, with 400 people living there.

“It was very isolated, and they needed a teacher (me) and an agricultural worker (Gary). I was the first American woman ever to be there.

All we had to eat was fish, coconuts, breadfruit, and taro (a kind of potato). The men had a tradition of sailing for hundreds of miles in the open ocean, navigating by the stars, to get to other islands. It was really like living in the middle of a National Geographic article.

“The people lived in thatched houses, and the families of the women stayed together. If they were married, the husband moved into the wife’s house. The women owned the land, and the men sailed. They had an incredibly rich and interesting culture, and it was a remarkable experience for us.”

Farther Afield After three years, their ser vice ended, and Pam was eager to journey even farther afield. “We were already half-way around the world, and we decided to go west — to the Philippines, Borneo, through the jungles, to Indonesia and Bali, back to Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, India, Nepal (where we climbed the Himalayas), Afghanistan, Greece, and then several countries in Europe.”

Now, however, it was time to come home and what to do?

“Gary took a job working in real estate with his brother in Doylestown,” says Pam, “and I worked at the Gourmet Shop in Princeton. Our daughter Reuwai (named for a respected friend in Micronesia) had been born, and we were trying to decide what we wanted to do.

Then, Gary’s cousin came to visit, and mentioned that a small farm was for sale by the owner. It was Terhune’s on Cold Soil Road, and they had apples, peaches, pears, and cider, which they sold out of a little shop there.”

Continued from Preceding Page

Pam had always enjoyed gardening, but she had no experience with farming.

Gary’s father had owned an apple farm, specializing in a wholesale operation, but it had now been sold.

“Terhune’s was not in good shape,” recalls Ms. Mount, “ but we decided to buy it anyway. We borrowed money, and in 1975, we built a shack to live there because the owners hadn’t left the house yet. Reuwai was then three, and I was expecting Tannwen, our second child.

A Lot of Apples “I remember one of my uncles came to visit, and he said, ‘Pammie, this place will take a hell of a lot of apples to pay it off!’ It was now May, and in June, we had to start pruning the apple trees.”

Although this was a brand new experience, the Mounts were not daunted. “With my creative bent and Gary’s background in science, we had the ability to get things done. We didn’t see too many problems. We were young, and figured it out. One thing led to another, and we began to modernize and learn about growing methods, integrated pest management, etc. We also went from big trees to dwarf trees, which have a bigger yield. We were now the only apple farm in Mercer County.”

They also took advantage of readily available information from universities and professional apple organizations. As Ms. Mount explains, “Farming in the U.S. is so organized, with information coming directly from research at the universities to the farmers. We got all the latest information. We were in touch with many apple associations and organizations, and people were very open and sharing.”

The Mounts expanded the orchard from 55 acres to the current 200 (all permanently preserved), added new fruits and vegetables (now more than 40 different crops, many organic), flower gardens, also baked goods, and most recently a winery. In addition, a variety of events are held throughout the different seasons, including educational programs for children. The children — and the adults — enjoy visiting the farm animals, including sheep, goats, chickens, geese, ducks, a horse, and the most recent addition, Lucky, the gorgeous peacock!

“As Terhune’s evolved, we

realized we were the neighborhood farm,” says Ms. Mount. “The stor y I like to tell is about a Princeton woman who came in every Tuesday with her granddaughter. She said, ‘I can take my granddaughter anywhere — to New York, to museums, theater, etc. But, Pam, this is the only place we come to that is real.

Things are grown here.’

“So, we decided that we’d stick with what’s real.”

Something New With Terhune’s an unqualified success, as a result of the Mounts innovative farming techniques, careful stewardship of the land, and Ms. Mount’s marketing skills, and creative designs, including the development of eye-catching flower gardens, Pam decided to try something new in the late 1990s. While remaining a strongly committed handson co-owner of Terhune’s, she accepted the offer to run for the Lawrence Township Council.

“People had been suggesting that I run for the Council, and I’d been doing volunteer work for years, including at the Y. I was president of the board of the YW, and I was on the board of the New Jersey Agricultural Society and Farmers Against Hunger. The kids were away at college, and Gary and I were working together every day. It was good to challenge myself with something else, meet new people, and expand my horizons.

“You paid $5 to join the Democratic Club of Lawrence, and so I got involved. I went and knocked on doors, said hello, and met people. I worked at it. To be successful, you have to be willing to take a risk, do your homework, and go for it.”

Her campaign was indeed successful, and she served on the Council for 12 years, including three terms as mayor.

“You get involved in everything,” she explains. “The Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, mosques, churches, organizations, and groups. I formed committees, and I wanted to get things done.

I’d go with my list of questions to meetings.”

Sustainabilit y and t he preservation of open space were two very important areas Ms. Mount wanted to target, and she has been very engaged in pursuing this agenda. “We preserved a lot of open land,” she reports. “25 to 27 percent of Lawrence land is now preserved.

Important Accomplishment “The most impor tant

accomplishment was the formation of Sustainable Lawrence,” continues Ms. Mount. “We had a meeting regarding Sustainable Communities. This involves communities working together to preserve resources so we don’t overuse them today, to be sure the resources will still be available to people in the future.

“We founded non-profit Sustainable Lawrence to get people engaged, to encourage them to buy local, reduce the carbon footprint by not driving too far, and we wrote articles to encourage interest.”

Along with other mayors, Ms. Mount attended a conference in Colorado about sustainable communities.

“We got excited about what was going on in the big communities in Seattle, Los Angeles, etc. We also went to the New Jersey League of Municipalities to ask them to suppor t t he mayoral group’s hope for a green future. Then, all the New Jersey mayors started meeting at Rutgers. Questions that came up were how to conserve energy, appropriate land use, recycling, what can the towns do.

“You need to have innovation. We set up a certification program, and towns could register to be part of a new program, Sustainable Jers ey. T he tow ns would receive recognition if they included recycling, reduced the use of plastic bags, etc. We had lectures at the library to spread the word. Towns formed “Green Teams”, a commit tee of town residents to work with elected officials. Nearly every town in New Jersey has signed up, and $2 to 3 million have been given in various grants to towns over five years.

“This has been enormously satisfying. I was chair of Sustainable Jersey for three years and am still on the board.”

Under the auspices of Sustainable Jersey, a new program was set up for schools last year. “If the school is interested in sustainability,” explains Ms. Mount, “it can introduce school gardens, solar panels on the roof, and offer educational programs in sustainability for the kids. Then, they can be certified.”

You know the saying, “If you want something done, ask a busy woman.” In the case of Pam Mount, it could not be more apt. In addition to her responsibilities on the boards of numerous organizations, she continues as chair of Sustainable Lawrence. She is also currently chair of the Lawrence Nature Center, and reports that “We have preserved 35 acres of meadows, woods, and habitat for animals and birds.”

Next Step The next step forward in Ms. Mount’s recognition of the need for environmental protection is addressing climate change. Her friend, Princeton resident Kathleen Biggins notes, “Pam and I were both involved in The Garden Club of Princeton, and I really got to know her when I asked her to help start a volunteer group dedicated to reaching out to a broader non-environmentally focused communit y and fostering dialogue and understanding about the consequences of climate

change. Pam has been an invaluable contributor to our endeavor, which is called CChange Conversations.

“She is one of those unique people who can see the big picture and is extremely insightful at the strategic level, yet is also happy to roll up her sleeves to do the hard work of implementing an event or program. She’s always upbeat, fun to work with, and fully engaged. Her energy level amazes me.

Pam is a wonderful asset to New Jersey. She has a vast network of friends and colleagues throughout the community, which enables her to engage a larger audience on sustainability issues.”

In addition to her work in preserving open space and protecting the environment, Ms. Mount serves on the board of Princeton’s Lewis School. On the occasion of the school’s “Big Event” in September, 2015, the school honored Pam and Gary Mount with the first annual “Marsha Gaynor Lewis Citizenship Award for Outstanding Public Service” in recognition of the Mounts’ life -long commitment to community, local farming, the environment, and education.

Ms. Mount has indeed been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including another very important commendation, when she was named by the New Jersey League of Municipalities as “Citizen of the Year” for her work in Sustainable Jersey.

Three Tours In another area, one especially close to her heart, Ms. Mount serves on the board

of the National Guard Family Readiness Council, which raises money for National Guard families in crisis.

“As mayor,” she explains, “I went to many events to say good-bye to National Guard soldiers who were leaving and also to welcome other contingents coming home. I felt the township should be aware of the families who were struggling when their main wage earner was called into service. We have been able to raise millions of dollars for this cause.”

Her interest in this was reinforced by the fact that the Mounts’ son Mark is a U.S. Army sergeant, now stationed in Louisiana, after having served three tours of duty in Afghanistan. Willingness to serve is paramount in the Mount family.

Certainly, awareness of the needs of others is a priority for Ms. Mount, and she has been successful in engaging others to help. A frequent volunteer herself, she is grateful for the efforts so many others put in every day.

“It is absolutely important to support volunteers, coaches, those who help the elderly, the poor, and all those who are doing so much. This includes many young women who are so active today.”

A long-time admirer of Eleanor Roosevelt, Ms. Mount believes many could benefit from that former First Lady’s example.

“She was so willing to see the needs and issues of everyday people, not just those in her own social status. Whether it was difficult or not, Eleanor Roosevelt

went forward, even when people made fun of the way she talked or the way she looked. She did not set out to do this, and I think she made an enormous difference.

Community Treasure “W hen I went into the Peace Corps, I saw that if you could learn about the needs of different people, you can make a difference and really be able to accomplish something important.”

Now, Pam looks forward to accomplishing still more, continuing to volunteer her time with many organizations and of course, focusing on Terhune’s future, ensuring that it becomes even more of the community treasure it already is.

She is delighted that her daughters Reuwai and Tannwen are now partners in Terhune’s operation. “It is wonderful having them involved.

They bring new energy and ideas daily to the work here.

Their husbands and children are the present and the future. I am so grateful.”

And the community and all those she has served are grateful to Pam. Her friend of long-standing, Princeton resident Georgine Hall Stauffer, actress and teacher, expresses what many others would like to say.

“Pam has made many wonderful contributions to the community, but it is her friendship that means so much. We laugh together, have fun together. She is a dear friend, loyal and thoughtful, and I know I can count on her.”

BOOK REVIEW

Singing in the Key of Life — The Music of Michelle Obama in place you come to another truth, that the Daley machine helped swing the 1960 election from Nixon to Kennedy.

Referring to Daley’s six-term dynasty in Michelle Obama: A Life (Knopf $27.95), Peter Slevin notes how the mayor “perfected the power of patronage to bend the city to his vision and his will. He earned the loyalty of many, co-opted others, and bulldozed the rest.” As for the black community, “he used their committeemen and officeholders to get votes” while allotting them little more than “their mathematical share of patronage.” In fact, the rent for the South Euclid Avenue apartment the future First Lady grew up in was paid by t h e m a y o r’s office. Fraser Robinson, Michelle’s father, had a patronage job as a j a n itor i n a water plant while serving as a D e m o cratic precinct captain, a role t h at “s u i te d his outgoing personalit y.” By t he time Michelle was five, her father was “tending boilers for $858 a month,” a job he kept “until his death.” He saw his precinct responsibilities “as a way to do good works,” helping people “as a gobetween with the city.”

Soul Searching Decades later, Chicago’s City Hall also represented public service for Robinson’s daughter, who came there from a highly paid job as a corporate lawyer attained with some help from her Princeton connections. Describing her rationale for taking an almost 50 percent cut in salary in spite of having significant student loan debt from her years at Princeton, she mentions asking herself, “Can I go to the family reunion in my Benz and be comfortable, while my cousins are struggling to keep a roof over their heads? ” In a 2012 speech quoted by Slevin, a Princeton graduate himself, she refers to the deaths of her father and a friend: “Just like that I’d lost the two people I loved most in the world …. And I began to do a little bit of soul searching. I began to ask myself ….’If I die tomorrow, what did I really do with my life? What kind of mark would I leave?

How would I be remembered?’ And none

When she walked onstage in that bold blue dress smiling and waving, it was possible to believe that whichever side this woman was on had nothing to fear from T.A.D. “When someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level,” the First Lady told the enraptured delegates, recalling the advice she and the president gave their daughters. “Our motto is, when they go low, we go high.”

A Stormy Convention Michelle Robinson was a four-year-old living with her family on Chicago’s South Side when the 1968 Democratic Convention came to town, a political superstorm that had cops clubbing protestors and a grown-up bully, Mayor Richard J. Daley, shouting curses at Connecticut Senator Abraham Ribicoff for speaking out against “Gestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago.”

My wife and I witnessed the scene on a pint-sized Sony TV whose 11-inch screen seemed to expand to Cinemascopic dimensions to take in that moment of jaw-dropping truth. Here was a scene from all the bad guy-good guy movies ever made and it was happening in real life! To the Democrats! In Miami and the Siege of Chicago, Norman Mailer begins his account of the confrontation with an unflattering sketch of Ribicoff, “not a powerful looking man” who had “a weak mouth which spoke of the kind of calculation which does not take chances” and who “had gotten along by getting along, making the right friends.”

In fact, “he had no flair, he was indeed about as boring as a Republican speaker” (there were “yawns”), until he delivered the explosive line and people turned to each other. Had he really said that about Gestapo tactics? Yes he had. “His voice had quavered a hint with indignation and with fear, but he had said it, and Daley was on his feet, Daley was shaking his fist at the podium, Daley was mouthing words. One could not hear the words, but his lips were clear. Daley seemed to be telling Ribicoff to go have carnal relations with himself.” Meanwhile, “There was a roundhouse of roars from the floor, a buzz from the gallery. Daley glowered at Ribicoff and Ribicoff stared back, his ordinary face now handsome, dignified with some possession above itself. Ribicoff leaned down from the podium, and said in a good patrician voice, ‘How hard it is to accept the truth.’”

The Daley Machine By far the hardest-to-accept truth is that, thanks to riots, assassinations, and the Chicago convention, Richard Nixon captured the White House. And once you start putting the political dominoes back

F

of my answers satisfied me.”

The most consequential aspect of her tenure with the law firm was when she was asked to advise a first-year law student from Harvard named Barack Obama. Her first impression, based on a photograph, was that he was “not much of a looker” (“It was the ears”); in person, she found him charming and handsome (“We were attracted to each other because we didn’t take the whole scene as seriously as a lot of people do”). Not that she intended to date him. “She had sworn off romance that summer,” having dated “an array of young men all the way back to high school”: “My family swore I would never find a man that would put up w ith me.”

The future president had made career choices much like hers, spurning “coveted judicial clerkships and six-figure law firm positions even though he could have had his pick,” much “to the frustration of his m ot h er a nd grandmother, who had both known financial hards h i p .” N o t that Obama’s plans were apolitical.

He pla n ne d at that time to be mayor of Ch ic ago.

He figured it might take him ten years.

Princeton Roommates Michelle’s time at Princeton formally began with University President William Bowen’s opening address to the Class of 1985 in which he made, as Slevin puts it, “explicit reference to the racial divide that plagued Princeton and the country at large.” Michelle experienced the divide first hand when the mother of her white roommate “demanded a room change,” telling the student housing office her daughter was from the South and wasn’t “used to living with black people.” No beds being available, the roommate stayed on for the first semester and by the time she moved out “had come to admire and enjoy Michelle, although they traveled in entirely different circles.”

The girl’s departure helped enable “the community within a community” Michelle formed with her African Ameri-

can roomies, an “inseparable” threesome whose dormitory rooms were limited to “the workaday desks, dressers, and single beds provided by the university. No sofa, no television,” just “pillows on the floor” and a stereo on which “they listened to a lot of Stevie Wonder.”

Music Hath Charms It’s likely those Stevie Wonder records belonged to Michelle Robinson. Speaking at a White House award ceremony for the singer in February 2009, the newly elected president declared, “I think it’s fair to say that had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me. We might not have married. The fact that we agreed on Stevie was part of the essence of our courtship.” As Slevin notes, the maid of honor at the Obamas’ wedding sang “You and I” from the album Talking Book, the first record Michelle ever owned, and the first one Barack “bought with his own money.” Wonder’s 1970 hit “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” was also being played Wednesday night in Philadelphia as the president and Hillary Clinton shared the stage. he same song surfaces in a carpool karaoke video featuring James Corden. To be fully appreciated, the video should be seen from the beginning: Corden arrives at the White House gates for a tour and after being greeted by a no-nonsense security guard who seems not to recognize the host of The Late Late Show, Corden does as directed and pulls over. He’s huddled in the car looking guilty and apprehensive when the door on the passenger side opens and a pretty woman in a sleeveless summer dress slides in next to him and straps on the seat belt — it’s his tour guide Michelle Obama, free and easy as a schoolgirl on a lark. After a few perfunctory tour points (“This the White House … this is the Oval Office — my husband’s in there.”), she asks if they can hear some music (“I rarely get to listen to music in the car”), and it so happens Norden has Stevie Wonder. I won’t try to describe how good it feels to watch the First Lady (“I love Stevie Wonder! I know every Stevie song on the planet!”) clapping and singing and doing the moves to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” with Corden.

It has to be seen and so does her speech at last week’s convention. I recommend a dose of each for the bouts of DTs accompanying Trump Anxiety Disorder. Take as needed between now and Election Day. —Stuart Mitchner Note: The reference to psychiatrists and Trump comes from Jim Dwyer’s story in the July 29 New York Times.

The epigraph from Stevie Wonder was inspired by Dallas Police Chief David Brown’s moving recitation of the lyrics to “As” at the memorial service for the four fallen officers.

This election year, America and the world have had ample opportunity to observe democracy in action, like it or not — most recently at the Republican and Democratic Conventions.

Two local participants in the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes and Assemblyman A n d r e w Zw i cke r ( D -16 ) shared their thoughts on the experience and the process.

“Democracy is messy,” said Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker ( D-16), who was not a delegate but attended receptions and meetings on three of the four days of the Democratic Convention.

Mr. Zwicker observed the positive attitude that prevailed. “It was optimistic, uplifting, energizing,” he said. “I was happy to be there. It was empowering.

There was strong energy in everybody working together to get Hillary elected.”

Remaining outside the convention hall and interacting with New Jersey delegates and others at a variety of informal sessions, Mr. Zwicker described some negative sentiment among Bernie Sanders supporters at first, but saw that mood change during the four days.

“On day one there was clearly some remaining dissension between Bernie supporters and Hillary supporters, but among the people I talked with that changed quickly,” he stated. “The division in the Democratic Party has been good for the party and has helped to point it in the right direction.”

Mr. Zwicker voiced his support and optimism for the Clinton campaign over the next three months. “It is important that Hillary Clinton continues to make her case for why she’s an outstanding candidate,” he added. “It’s a positive message.

She has a wealth of experience. She is the candidate to bring the country forward, as opposed to the negative message of Donald Trump and his supporters.”

Mr. Hughes, who is no stranger to national political conventions, starting in 1964 when, at the age of 6, he went with his father, former New Jersey Governor Richard Hughes, to the Democratic Convention in Atlantic City, was also upbeat about the Philadelphia event.

“It was a good convention,” he said. “At the beginning there was a lot of disruption inside and outside the convention hall.

There were people holding onto hurt feelings and the fact that they lost a close race. But by the end of the week we were leaving Philadelphia with one agenda in mind.”

Adding that there were “a lot of big speeches,” including those by Chelsea and Hillary Clinton, Mr. Hughes pointed out that President Obama’s address, “one of his last big speeches in office,” was “a big moment for him and the convention.”

As a delegate for the fifth time, Mr. Hughes noted particularly the presentation that has stirred much conflict with Donald Trump in the press during the past week. “The biggest speech for me,” Mr. Hughes said, “was a Muslim couple talking about their son who died in service to the U.S. Marine Corps. They were very very straight for ward in what they said, with a lot of emotion behind it. It was about their son and about whether Donald Trump knew what was in the Constitution. It was a very poignant moment for me.”

In Philadelphia with Mr. Hughes was his 17-year-old son, who had also attended the 2008 convention in Denver. “It was an exciting time for him,” according to Mr. Hughes, who predicted, “It’s going to be a very close race — maybe not here in New Jersey, but around the country, it’s going to be very close.”

Chairman of the Princeton Republican Committee, Dudley Sipprelle, a John Kasich supporter, reported, “to my knowledge no local Repub-

licans attended the Republican Convention. Neither of our local State legislators attended.”

Mercer County Republican Committee Chair Lisa Richford was an alternate delegate, and though she did not go to Cleveland, she commented that the Republican Convention was “much more issue-oriented than the Democratic Convention. Those were the issues I wanted to hear about and the constituents of Mercer County and the middle class wanted to hear about.”

Annual Full Moon Bike Ride Set for Mercer Meadows

Adults and youngsters aged 12 and up are invited to join hundreds of bicyclists expected to participate in a six-mile, late-night ride through the open meadows and dark woods lit by a full moon on Sunday, August 21. The third annual Full Moon Bike Ride will be held at Mercer Meadows.

Sponsored by the Lawrence Hopewell Trail (LHT) and t he Mercer Cou nt y Park Commission, the ride starts at 9:30 p.m., but riders should give themselves time to sign in for the event.

Pre-registration at the LHT website, w w w.lhtrail.org, is strongly recommended and will speed up the preliminaries, according to Jay Watson, LHT board member and curator of the full moon ride.

“We hope individuals and families will join us for this late night ride. From 9:30 on, riders will begin the sixmile trek as they arrive,” Watson said. “T his r ide takes cyclists through one of New Jersey’s premier open spaces, Mercer Meadows, via the Lawrence Hopewell Trail, which serves as the backbone of an extensive trail system in the park.”

From a starting gate at

Rosedale Lake, riders will head to the Maidenhead Trail, on to the Twin Pines Trail, then back to Rosedale Park, in a ride expected to take about 45 minutes. “We are very pleased to join with the Lawrence Hopewell Trail for the third year in a row, welcoming bicycling enthusiasts to our 1,600 acre park, which features scenic biking and walking opportunities through meadows and woodlands,” said Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes.

Bike decorating will be encouraged and a limited number of glow sticks will be provided. Cyclists are encouraged to use bicycle headlights for the late night ride, and helmets are required. Local ice cream vendors will be at the event.

The participation charge is $10 per cyclist, $20 per family, and the funds will be used to help defray LHT’s operating costs and further trail construction and maintenance costs. Riders are encouraged to print out and complete the registration form in advance of the ride. Registration can also be completed the evening of the ride, but riders who reister on-site should factor in extra time for the process.

For questions about weather, visit www.lhtrail.org.

To RSVP, email rsvp@drgreenway.org, subject line “Perseids,” including your contact information so you can be reached in the event of bad weather or poor viewing conditions. For more information, call (609) 924-4646.

“This fun event has become a summer tradition for us,” says D&R Greenway Vice-President Jay Watson.

“St. Michaels Farm Preserve, at the edge of Hopewell Borough, is the perfect place to hold this event, with its 340 acres of beautiful fields, woods, and nature trails and its important community history. One of the reasons we preserved this magnificent

property was to keep it as an important place where families can enjoy nature and the outdoors. We are hoping for clear skies and a good show of meteors!”

Guests are asked to pack as if they are watching fireworks (lounge chair, blanket, water, warm clothing, bug spray, etc.). Flashlights should have red lenses to protect night vision. If you don’t have a red lens/light, please see D&R Greenway staff who will provide these upon arrival.

Charles McVicker, a Princeton watercolor, oil, and acrylic painter, has been chosen as this year’s honored artist. Each year for the past few decades, the art committee of Phillips’ Mill Community Association has chosen to honor a living artist whose work has been accepted into the show over a substantial number of years. McVicker’s work has been accepted into the Phillips’ Mill Exhibition numerous times and received five awards, including the Patrons and Watercolor Award.

The exhibition is open to

exhibition’s prospectus has been posted on the organization’s website, www.phillipsmill.org and details all the requirements for entering the show. It may be downloaded for printing.

The 87th annual Phillips’ Mill Art Exhibition is open daily from 1 to 5 p.m. starting on September 24 and continuing through October 29. Phillips’ Mill is located at 2619 River Road, New Hope, about two miles north of the New Hope/Lambertville Bridge. For more information on Charles McVicker visit his website at www. charlesmcvicker.com.

Artists’ Gallery presents “Enchantment,” an exhibition featuring the oil paintings of Maxine Shore and the photographs of Joseph DeFay. The show runs from Thursday, September 8 through Sunday, October 2, 2016. A reception with the artists will be held at the gallery at 8 Bridge Street in Lambertville from 5 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 17, 2016.

Maxine Shore was born in New York, N.Y. and educated at Chatham College and Middlebury College.

Formerly a teacher of art, Maxine studied art at The

Parsons School of Design, the National Academy and The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

Shore is a contemporary colorist who uses color and light in an effort to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Inspiration for her paintings often comes from travel to places near and far that spark her imagination.

Working exclusively in oils, she relies on watercolor or pencil sketches as well as her camera to record images that she works on in her studio.

She is not a traditional representational painter. She is more interested in interpreting how a place makes her feel than simply reproducing how it looks. Even when a painting is representational there exists an abstract dynamic below the surface.

Exploring the interplay of colors, shapes, patterns of lights and darks, and composition all contribute to the final outcome.

Joseph DeFay is a member of the Photographic Society of Philadelphia and the Plastic Club. His work has been exhibited at Penn Medicine Rittenhouse, the Plastic Club, the Art Alliance, Perkins Center for the Arts, Bucks County Audubon Society, and the Hamilton Township Public Library.

His photographs attempt to document a view of the various ways individuals explore their existence through philosophy, religion, or tradition. The current exhibit “New Vrindaban (The Land of Krishna)” includes photos taken in the mid-70s during a four-day stay at a Hare Krishna farm community in West Virginia. They are being seen together for the first time.

Krishna (meaning Dark or Dark Blue), also known as Govinda (Cow Protector), is one of the most beloved and widely worshipped of all the Hindu Deities. He is the central character of the immensely popular Hindu Scripture called the Bhagavad Gita (Song of God).

Today his teachings and exploits are still widely celebrated by Hindus around the world.

Artists’ Gallery is located at 18 Bridge Street in Lambertville. The gallery is open every Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and by appointment. For more information, visit www.lambertvillearts.com.

MUSIC REVIEW

At the Close of the Summer Concert Series The German Quintet Calmus Thrills Audience

T

he Princeton University Summer Concerts series has thrived on presenting instrumental chamber ensembles and, to close this summer’s season, added to its offerings by bringing a refined and polished vocal ensemble to Princeton. The German vocal quintet Calmus performed a program based on the works of William Shakespeare last Wednesday night at Richardson Auditorium to one of the best houses the series has seen this summer. All the World’s a Stage, featuring works set by various composers of Shakespearean texts, showed that there is certainly a market for high-quality chamber choral music in Princeton.

Calmus is comprised of five highlytrained vocalists — soprano, countertenor, tenor, baritone, and bass. With the musical background of the four men rooted in the German boychoir tradition, it was no wonder that soprano Anja Pöche fit right into the ensemble. Ms. Pöche’s voice was like icing over the lower voices, with little vibrato but carrying like a laser through the hall. The four men — counter-tenor Sebastian Krause, tenor Tobias Pöchek, baritone Ludwig Böhme, and bass Manual Helmeke — supported Ms. Pöche well with impeccable tuning and a precisely blended sound.

Calmus appropriately began their survey of Shakespeare in the late 16th century with a setting of What is Life (after As You Like It) by Orlando Gibbons. Gibbons bridged choral history between the Renaissance and Baroque periods, with music that ebbed and flowed in dynamics and texture. Calmus began the motet with a delicate sound, with the melodic lines of the music uniform among the singers. Placed in the center of the quintet, bass Mr. Helmeke provided a solid vocal foundation to the sound, anchoring the perfect tuning which became even more impressive as the singers maintained their concentration and intensity over each half of the concert.

The composers performed music that ranged from 16th to 21st centuries, and from Europe and the United States. Calmus seemed to have a particular affinity for Finnish composers, with several works by contemporary composers Jaakko Mäntyjärvi and Jussi Chydenius. In the two motets by Mäntyjärvi, the ensemble demonstrated clear diction and uniform vowels in harmonies that created chromatic dissonant chords. In Mäntyjärvi’s Come

Away Death, counter-tenor Mr. Krause showed he could sing as high and as cleanly as Ms. Pöche. Chydenius set some of the more humorous texts of the evening, with an arrangement of You Spotted Snakes (from A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and a rollicking setting of Fear No More, from Cymbeline. You Spotted Snakes was composed for tenor, baritone, and bass, with Mr. Helmeke joined by tenor Mr. Pöchek and baritone Mr. Böhme, and the three singers provided a clean male chorus blend.

Throughout the performance, Calmus maintained consistently clean shifts between major and minor tonalities, with piercing harmonies, such as in the setting

by Finnish composer Juhani Komulainen of the sonnet So Are You. This motet, bordering on bitonality, displayed the ensemble’s adeptness at complex harmonies and pulsating vocal chords. Calmus turned its attention to American composers with arrangements by Nancy Wertsch, Matthew Harris, and Robert Applebaum.

Wertsch’s appealing arrangement of O Mistress Mine featured Mr. Pöchek, well accompanied by the rest of the ensemble.

Harris’s setting of Full Fathom Five was one of four on this text presented, each by a different composer. Harris’s arrangement was chantlike, with the closing “ding dong” bells like brilliant chimes from the singers.

Two of the Calmus singers proved also to be excellent arrangers on their own.

Mr. Böhme and Mr. Krause provided arrangements of early music songs on Shakespearean texts. Mr. Krause set the second of the four Full Fathom Five arrangements performed by the quintet, with a setting of the text originally composed by 17th-century British composer John Banister. In his five-part work, Mr. Krause retained a Purcell-like soprano melodic line while putting a 21st-century harmonic spin on a madrigal texture.

Mr. Böhme’s arrangements of texts from Othello moved the ensemble through major and minor passages while sustaining 16th and 17th-century textures. xcellent European vocal ensembles do not come to Princeton often enough, and last week’s performance by Calmus proved that local audiences cannot get enough of this genre of music.

On August 1, at about 1:30 a.m., Princeton Police Department officers were investigating a suspicious vehicle that was parked in the area of Terhune Rd. Police were acting on information that the vehicle had been used by actor(s) in several burglaries outside the Princeton area. While conducting their investigation, the officers saw a male subject emerge from behind several bushes in the 100 block of Dodds Lane. The male subject began to run from the police, disobeying their orders to stop. The officers were unable to locate the subject.

Later that morning, at approximately 6:19 a.m. officers responded to the report of a car alarm that was activated in the area Harriet Dr. While responding to the alarm, officers noticed a male subject matching the description of the individual that eluded the police just a few hours prior. When the officers attempted to make contact with the subject, he immediately ran, the officers giving chase in the area of North Harrison St. Several other officers responded as well.

While searching the area, officers heard a loud noise coming from a house located on the 300 block of Ewing St. The home appeared to be vacant. Officers were able to locate an unsecured door and they entered the home in search of the suspect. While searching the interior of the house the officers noticed a pull down set of stairs that led to a crawl space in the attic. Princeton police Officers Chris King and James Martinez accessed the attic and encountered a male subject later identified as Anthony Eason, 20-yearold male, from Somerset.

Eason was kneeling alongside the attic opening and was holding an 8-inch object in his hand. The manner in which the object was held was threatening in nature.

Not knowing what the object was, Ptl. King repeatedly ordered Eason to drop it.

Ptl. King and Ptl. Martinez used verbal commands and de-escalation skills to gain control of the situation and place Eason under arrest, after which the object he was holding was determined to be a piece of plastic, larger at the base and tapered towards the end. Eason was

at a minimum, 50 percent of the trees they are required to replace.

The measure would not apply to sick trees. It recommends an increase in the application fee from $25 to $40. The fee is not per tree, but per property. The town’s arborist Lorraine Konopka would get 20 business days instead of the current 15 to allow for a more thorough review of each application.

“A lot of people in town have become concer ned about the fact that many trees are being cut down as a result of tear downs,” Councilman Bernie Miller said before Council’s meeting July 29. “And in some instances, lots are being pret t y much denuded of their trees.”

Later that evening at the meeting, Mr. Miller, who is the Council’s liaison to the Shade Tree Commission, said, “The Shade Tree Commission and the Code Review Committee did a lot of work on this, for almost a year. This is a really major effort on the part of a voluntary commission to prepare something many in the communit y asked for — a stronger shade tree ordinance that represents the communit y in ter ms of our thinking about the value of shade trees and trees in general.” While the ordinance could need fine tuning, Mr. Miller continued, “I think what you have before you now is an effort that took almost a year to produce and I hope it will be well received.”

Mayor Liz Lempert spoke in favor of expediting the issue. “If you look around town, every week there are trees coming down,” she said. “This is something I want people to have time to discuss.”

sure things were settled before they left. It could have been so much worse.”

Most businesses on Palmer Square fared well in the storm. Dean Smith, co-owner of JaZams toy store, said that contrary to some reports, the store was not flooded and did not close. “The alley behind us was filled with water so we had some water come in from the wall and skylight,” he said.

“But we contained it. We had a lot of staff here. We didn’t lose anything.”

The flooding at Princeton High School’s performing arts center was caused by water flowing in from Walnut Lane.

In a statement issued Sunday, Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said members of the buildings and grounds crew came in Saturday during the storm and in the aftermath. “Working with a restoration company funded through our insurance company, they were able to pump out most of the water and begin

cleaning up. We are still in the process of assessing any damage to equipment,” he said. “It appears that the storm system in the road outside the high school was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of rain that fell in a relatively short time on Saturday — five inches in under three hours.”

Mr. Cochrane added that administrators will be consulting with the town to find a solution to this recurring problem. (See a letter from Steven Hiltner in the Mailbox on page 7 for more on this issue.) The performing arts center has flooded in the past during Hurricane Irene, in 2011,

Princeton received 7.23 inches of rainfall, coming in just behind Flemington, which got 7.46 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

“We’ve had some different kinds of strange storms come through Princeton, with lots of wind and things like that,” Mr. Gregory said. “Engineering [department] was telling me they were wondering if this could fall into a 25-or50-or 100-year rainfall record category. I’m not sure they’ve found out yet.”

Questions & Answers What does a homeowner needs to know about their insurance?

There are different types of coverages available, each client needs their own custom policy. It is important that you speak to a licensed agent to go over your own insurance needs.

What coverages should I be asking for?

Make sure you have enough coverage to rebuild your home. While your home is under construction after a claim make sure you have money to continue paying your mortgage, enough money to live in another location, money to replace your personal belongings and if you are collecting rent (for multifamily home) make sure you get loss of rent coverage.

How much do I cover my home for?

Although, the mortgage company may require a minimum amount of dwelling coverage, to cover the loan amount it is important that you cover your home for the replacement value. Which means that this is calculated by the cost to rebuild the home not the purchase price. Especially, when you buy a foreclosure or homes that need lots of repair you may have purchased the home at a lower price than its true value.

to protect your assets in case of a lawsuit. The cost of attorney is included under your liability limits, you do want to have enough to cover defense and to pay the claim if found liable.

Do I need flood insurance?

Most mortgages will require flood insurance if your home is in a flood area. As a licensed agent I will always offer flood insurance since its the only policy that will cover when rain or water overflows into your home. There is a difference between sewer back up vs overflow of water or rain. Sewer back up may be covered by your homeowners while overflow of water or rain is not.

What types of coverage are not covered by homeowners insurance?

Flood, terrorism and war are excluded under your insurance policy. Each policy have their own exclusion that you must become aware of.

BathsEtc.

Can an insurance company deny me?

Each company has their own guidelines of what types of homes,pets, location, credit & claim history they would accept. Some licensed agents have special companies that would offer coverage when you are denied from a standard company. These are called surplus lines insurance company. There are other cases that an insurance company may deny you such as: pool with diving boards, near the ocean and/or trampolines.

Nicky eventually joins Jason in Greece where she provides him with some incriminating evidence about the Agency as well as answers about his own mysterious past. However, their rendezvous has been tracked by CIA analyst Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) who has been surreptitiously monitoring Nicky’s movements.

Next, Jason finds himself on the run from an assassin (Victor Cassel), who was dispatched by Director Dewey.

Then Lee joins the chase, too, hoping to talk Jason into voluntarily coming in from the cold. The ensuing catand-mouse caper becomes a globe-trotting affair that unfolds all across Europe and ends in a captivating showdown on “The Strip” in Las Vegas.

The film’s only distracting flaw is the sotto voce performance delivered by Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) who seems to swallow every word. Otherwise, the principal cast acquits itself admirably: from Tommy Lee Jones in the familiar role of an orders-barking boss, to Vincent Cassel as a despicable villain, and Matt Damon as the twofisted protagonist.

COOL KAT: Star forward Kat Sharkey controls the ball in action for the U.S. national women’s field hockey team. Sharkey, a 2013 Princeton University grad who was one of the last players cut from the U.S. squad that went to the 2012 London Summer Games, will be making her Olympic debut this week in Rio de Janeiro. She will be joined on the U. S. team in Rio by former Princeton teammates Julia Reinprecht and Katie Reinprecht.

attack needs to focus making things tough for its foes.

“I think that our entire attacking unit is very skillful and fast so our job up front is to create a number of scoring opportunities throughout the game but also to put a lot of heavy pressure on our opponents’ defenders,” said Sharkey.

“Really our defense starts up front with us and that is the attitude that we have up front. We are always trying to turn over the other team’s defenders.”

With her hard-earned experience over the last four years, Sharkey feels she will be better able to capitalize on the opportunities that come her way.

“I think I am able to get my shot off a little quicker at the international level; you really have to earn any scoring opportunities that you get,” said Sharkey.

“No defender is going to let you get an easy shot off so you have to be able to protect the ball really well in the circle and then have that quick release. That is something I have been working on these past couple of years and I have really added that to my game.”

The team’s work ethic and camaraderie should make it hard to beat in Rio. The U.S. opens Pool B play on August 6 against Argentina and hopes to still be in action when the tourney winds up with the semifinals on

August 17 and the medal games on August 19.

“Our preparation has been very intense over these past three years so I think we have gained confidence from that, knowing how many hours we have put in on the turf,” said Sharkey.

“I feel like there are a lot of us who have been playing together for a number of years now which only helps with our closeness on and off the field. You can’t look too far ahead, you can’t look past any opponent because every team we are playing is in the Olympics for a reason.

They are very good, they are very capable of beating anyone, so we have to take each opponent one game at a time.”

Having taken a circuitous journey to Rio, Sharkey will bring a deep appreciation for the chance to compete against those opponents.

“I am just very excited to be in that atmosphere, be playing in a tournament with so many great athletes throughout the world,” said Sharkey.

“It is so neat. I have been watching the Olympic trials in the other sports, with so many great athletes working hard to make this team. It is a reminder that there are other athletes working just as hard as you in their own sport. For all of us to come together, I think it is going to be really special.”

Julia Reinprecht’s heady play and stick skills have made her one of the top defenders in U.S. field hockey.

The 2014 Princeton University grad played for the U.S. squad in the 2012 Summer Olympics and helped the Tigers to the NCAA title that year, earning All-America honors in all four seasons in college and being named the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year in 2013.

But suffering a severe head injury in her final appearance at Princeton in Novemb er, 2013 ne arly derailed Reinprecht’s field hockey career. She was hit in the head with a stick while playing against Penn State in the first round of the NCAA tournament and what was initially thought to be a concussion turned out to be a skull fracture with bleeding in her brain.

Reinprecht was essentially forced to rest for months with no physical activities.

She suffered migraine headaches during the healing process but they eventually abated due to a combinations of medications figured out by her father, Jim, a doctor.

“I started playing again in February; my skull fracture hadn’t healed; the reason I started back so early was that I was determined to get back in 2014 because we had the World Cup that summer,” said Reinprecht.

“I wore a helmet in a couple of games, which is humiliating, and then I had to wear some head band apparatus because it took a little while for it to completely heal. I think you always have a little bit of a fear if you get hit in the head. I just feel like, once you get in the flow of the game, it is out of sight and out of mind.”

Reinprecht got into the flow of the things for the U.S., getting back to 100 percent and regaining her status as one of the program’s top defenders.

This week, Reinprecht will be returning to the Olympics, playing for the U.S. squad that will compete in the Rio Summer Games.

For Reinprecht, earning the trip to Rio along with her older sister Katie, a fellow Princeton standout, and another former Tiger teammate, Kat Sharkey, was a special moment.

“It was exciting, you never know you are going to make the team until you have the conversation,” said the 5’3 Reinprecht, 25, a native of Perkasie, Pa. who now has 145 caps for the U.S. “You can be confident and everything but it is still just like a wow moment when you are going to the Olympic Games. It is a wow moment because you finally know who you are going with. It is really exciting, this is who I am going to represent the U.S.A. with. I read the email with Katie so I was obviously excited. It was so nice that Kat made it as well.”

Ref lecting on the U.S. team’s experience at the 2 012 L o n d o n S u m m e r Games, Reinprecht acknowledges that there weren’t many wow moments on the field as the U.S. won one of six matches and scored just

five goals.

“We obviously hoped to do better and it was a little bit devastating to get last place after putting in all of that work and having so much faith in your team entering the Olympic Games,” said Reinprecht.

“It was quite tough going through that but it was an awesome experience going to the Olympic Games in general, all athletes will tell you that.”

Learning from the tough results in London steeled the U.S. going forward. “I think 100 percent, we know where our failings were in the last one,” said Reinprecht.

“It is a motivation factor but is also a really good experience that so many of us went through that. We transformed our program; we got an entirely new staff (led by new head coach Craig Parnham) and we relocated to Pennsylvania (Lancaster) and made it into a full-time residency program. If you are not here on a full-time basis, most likely you would not be able to compete for the team or be up for selection to any of the tournaments. Before you could come in and out of the program when you wanted so that has been a huge commitment made on behalf of the players and the coaches.”

T hat com m it m ent has helped the U.S. enjoy success in some big tournaments as it took fourth in the 2014 World Cup before taking gold medals in the 2014 Champions Challenge and the 2015 Pan American Games.

Seeing the benefits of the new approach has given the U.S. players a special unity.

“It has been kind of crazy how much we are together and how well we get along,” said Reinprecht.

“There is so much importance to playing with the same people and building that chemistry. Just being together all the time has built that off-field chemistry as well. I think it has been really important with the onfield dynamic as well as our relationships off the field. I think that has transformed us, by being together all the time.”

Another step in that transformation occurred this June when the U.S. placed third at the Champions Trophy tournament in London.

“We didn’t have a lot of expectations, we were the lowest ranked team,” said Reinprecht.

“We hadn’t played teams of that caliber in a while so we were saying this is a perfect learning tournament for us. It will tell us exactly what we need to work on going into the Olympics to be super prepared for Rio. To actually get the medal and play the way that we wanted to confirmed that we can play at that level so that was really exciting.”

Reinprecht is prepared to hold the fort on the back line for the U.S. “To protect the circle,” said Reinprecht, not mincing words when asked to describe her role on the team.

“That is the whole team’s goal, to not let the opposition get too many chances

on goal but I really take that job to heart. At the Champions Trophy, we were letting teams get into the circle too easily so it is like OK, we are literally going to protect the circle with everything we have got. That is basically my job and one that I think all defenders on our team are going to take pride in.”

T h e te a m fo c u s e d on fine-tuning things as it went through its final practices in Lancaster before heading to Rio. “They say we are not going to rework the whole system so we are focusing on details, focusing on what our strengths are as a team, and making sure that we bring it to every practice and just train really, really hard,” said Reinprecht.

“There are not many more changes that we can make but ever y thing is in the details of what we need to do technically to be really sound at the Olympics.”

Maintaining that attention to detail will be key for Reinprecht and her teammates as they look to make a medal run out of Pool B in Rio, starting with their opener against Argentina on August 6.

“We are very driven, our goal is to be on the podium but really we have a certain style and certain expectations for how we want to play,” said Reinprecht, in assessing the team’s approach to the competition which is taking place from August 6-19.

“We are trying not to be results driven; the focus is on how we are competing.

We don’t want to get away from that. Similar to how we did it with the Champions Trophy, we need to be approaching each game individually and working on getting better and better and hopefully be the best at the end.”

After U.S. Field Hockey Faltered at 2012 London Games, PU Grad Reinprecht Excited for Return Trip to Olympics

ATTACK MODE: Katie Reinprecht prepares to send the ball down the field in action for the U.S. national field hockey team. Star midfielder Reinprecht, a 2013 Princeton grad, is headed back to her second Olympics as she will be competing for the U.S. in the upcoming Rio Summer Games. Reinprecht’s younger sister, Julia, a star defender and fellow Princeton standout, will be joining her on the U.S. squad along with another former Tiger, Kat Sharkey.

While Katie Reinprecht was thrilled to compete for the U.S. field hockey team at the 2012 Summer Olympics, she wasn’t happy with how the games went.

Winning just one of six matches in London and only tallying five goals in the competition, the U. S. ended up 12th of 12 teams.

“It is something that I had been working toward for a really long time so it was a surreal experience,” said Reinprecht, a 2013 Princeton grad who was a fourtime All American and the Longstreth/NFHCA Player of the Year when the Tigers won the 2012 NCAA tournament.

“I was so privileged that I would be able to go and represent my country there.

We didn’t get the results we wanted.”

Taking its lumps in London led the U.S. to engage in some soul-searching.

“The core group learned a lot from that experience,” said Reinprecht. “We knew if we were to do this a second time around, we want-

ed to make sure we do it the right way.”

Reinprecht has earned a second chance at the Olympics as she was named to the U.S. squad that will be competing at the upcoming Rio Summer Games.

Even though Reinprecht has been a stalwart for the national program with 157 caps over the years, it was still a milestone moment when she learned she was headed to Rio. “It is super exciting and always a bit of a relief; usually you know where you stand on the team but also all of us are kind of interchangeable,” said the 5’4 Reinprecht, 26, a native of Perkasie, Pa. “It is not like any one player is irreplaceable on our team because we are such a unit and each person is so impor tant. We also have depth ; people who didn’t even make the squad are incredible players too.”

Reinprecht was particularly excited to be joined on the squad by younger sister, Julia, a star defender and fellow Princeton standout, and another former Tiger teammate, Kat Sharkey.

“Julia is not only my sister, but she is my best friend; to be able to experience anot her Oly mpic gam e s with her is super special and also to have my family there to support both of us is a pretty cool experience,” said Reinprecht.

“I think she is an incredible player; it is great to have her on the field fighting next to me. Kat is a pretty cool story, after being disheartened from not mak ing t he Oly mpics in 2012. For her to stick with it and keep going after what could be a disappointment for her and her career and make this team says a lot about her character on and off the field.”

Over the last four years, the U.S. team developed

greater character as the national program was overhauled.

“We knew it wasn’t going to be something we committed full time a year out, it had to be something more intensive,” said Reinprecht, noting that a new coach, Craig Parnham took over the program and that Lancaster, Pa. become its new training headquarters.

“We changed the culture and the amount of work we committed to the program.

That is something we have been building towards the last three-and-a half years.

I think it is more commitment and a better culture, just having a really solid foundation. Going into 2012 we were a really skilled team and we were capable of competing with the best teams but once games didn’t go well I think our foundation wasn’t quite as strong as we needed it to be. We really worked and strived to make sure that the culture and what held us together would hold up throughout a tournament like that. We have gotten a lot better, we are more physically prepared and our skills are a lot more improved too.”

The program’s improvement has been reflected by taking fourth in the 2014 World Cup before breaking through with gold medals in the 2014 Champions Challenge and the 2015 Pan American Games.

“Having some pretty positive results over the past couple of years just really helped solidify the thought in our heads that we have been doing the work and all that we have put in has paid off in those tournaments,” added Reinprecht.

“Because of where we are positioned in the world, a lot of the European teams just play each other. We don’t get to play top level teams all that often.”

In June, the U.S. enjoyed another positive result as it took bronze at the 2016 Champions Trophy tournament in London, rallying to edge Australia in a shootout in the third-place game.

“The Champions Trophy was really great preparation; we went in just hoping to learn a lot of lessons and understand what we should expect in Rio so we are more prepared,” explained Reinprecht.

“I t h i n k we d ef i n itely learned a lot, it wasn’t the prettiest couple of games.

We showed our resilience in the tournament and being able to come out with a bronze and winning in a shootout was pretty special, especially because two years prior we were in the similar situation in a shootout in a semifinal game and we ended up losing that one.”

Ret ur ning to its home base in Lancaster after the trip to London, the squad underwent some rigorous prep ar at ion i n it s f i na l build-up for Rio. “We do double sessions on Monday; we will lift in the morning and do training in the afternoon,” said Reinprecht.

“On Tuesday, we will have two training sessions so we will do morning training

and afternoon training with some sort of conditioning beforehand. On Wednesday, we have lifting and yoga and Thursdays is back to a double session. Fridays is lift and yoga again and then on Saturday we have practice and conditioning.”

All that training has come in handy for Reinprecht, whose role on the team has evolved over the years.

“Normally I am attacking, getting shots in the circle,” said Reinprecht.

“After this last tournament where we were playing the top five teams, I am thinking, man I am kind of a defensive midfielder because we had to play a lot more defense against these teams. You have to in order to make sure you are doing your due diligence on both ends so I am an attacking midfielder but definitely working on both ends.”

In order to compete against the top teams in the world, the U.S. will need to be sharper in the circle.

“On the attacking end, we are getting in our opponent’s end but we are not quite getting the shots or opportunities out of those moments t hat we would like,” said Reinprecht.

“There are ver y subtle changes that we can make that will dramatically change the score line if we are doing them better. It is one of those things where we are fine-tuning.”

With the U.S. star ting Pool B play with a game against Argentina on August 6, Reinprecht believes the U.S. can be a medal contender in Rio. “We definitely want to be on the podium; we have been saying to one another, that is what we want to do,” said Reinprecht, reflecting on t he competition t hat runs from August 6-19.

“It takes a bit of courage to actually say that. We know we can compete with any team there and we know we can beat them because we have beaten every team that is there at some point.

It is a matter of being able to string enough solid performances together without making too many mistakes and capitalizing on opportunities. We are excited; we are really going to be going for it but it is not going to be easy because of the challenge.”

In Reinprecht’s view, togetherness on and off the field could make the difference for the U.S. “I think we are very connected going into it; we really are a family, we spend so much time together,” said Reinprecht. “ We k now e ach ot h er so well, it is more like sister s t ha n te a m m ate s at this point. I know that all of them will have my back a n d v ice ver s a. I t h i n k something that is pret t y cool about our team is that we will never give up in any game, it doesn’t matter what the score line is. I think that can throw teams off, they might feel comfortable. I even think in our last game in Champions Trophy, Australia got comfortable with a 2-0 lead and out of nowhere we came and tied it up so I think that is a big characteristic of our team.

I think that will help us at the tournament.”

Tiger Hoops Grad Wheatley Gets Ivy Nod for NCAA Award

Recently-graduated Prince ton University women’s basketball player Alex Wheatley ’16 has been selected as one of two nominations from the Ivy League for the NCAA Woman of the Year award.

A group of 517 honorees has been whittled down to 142 conference selections.

The next step is for the Woman of the Year selection committee, made up of representatives from the NCAA membership, to choose the top 30 honorees — 10 from each division.

From the top 30, the selection committee determines the top three honorees from each division and announces the nine finalists in September. The NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics then picks from among those nine to determine the 2016 NCAA Woman of the Year.

The top 30 honorees will be celebrated and the 2016 NCAA Woman of the Year winner will be announced at the annual award ceremony Oct. 16 in Indianapolis. The four pillars of the award are academics, athletics, service, and leadership.

Wheatley, a native of Upper Holland, Pa. and an ecology and evolutionary biology major, was part of a senior class that was one of the most successful in Ivy women’s basketball history.

She helped the program go 97-23 (.808 ) overall and

PU Hoops Alum Maddox To Play in Polish Pro League

Former Princeton University men’s basketball standout Kareem Maddox ’11, the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team All-Ivy Leaguer as a senior, will continue his career in Poland with Miasto Szkla Krosno.

Maddox has worked stateside in public broadcasting since last playing with the Newcastle Eagles in the British Basketball League during the 2012-13 season after a year with Landstede Basketbal Zwolle in the Netherlands in 2011-12.

As a senior and a sixth man in the 2010-11 campaign, Maddox led Princeton in scoring at 13.8 points per game, in rebounding at 7.0 boards a game and in blocks with 56 on the season. He was also second on the team with 80 assists as Princeton won the Ivy League and defeated Harvard in a playoff to advance to the NCA A Tournament.

Maddox’s new team, which is located in the southeastern corner of Poland, was in Liga 1, the second tier of Polish basketball, last season before winning that league and achieving promotion to Tauron Basket Liga, the top level of professional basketball in Poland.

PU Fencing Coach Dudas Named to U.S. Olympic Staff

Princeton University fencing head coach Zoltan Dudas who has led the Tigers to an NCAA top-four finish in each of the last six years including the 2013 NCAA title, has been named a U.S. Olympic coach at the upcoming Rio Summer Games.

Dudas will be one of three coaches on the épée staff, with Tiger fencer Katharine Holmes ’17 among those Dudas will be coaching. In his 10 seasons, Dudas has coached 38 Princeton épée fencers to All-America honors, including an NCAA title

by Jonathan Yergler ‘13 a year before Princeton won its first combined men’s/ women’s NCAA team title.

It will be Dudas’s first time coaching at the Olympics, but it’ll be the second consecutive Olympic Games in which a Dudas-coached Princeton fencer will be competing. Susannah Scanlan ’14 helped the U.S. épée team win bronze in 2012 in London.

The women’s épée competition will take place August 6 for the individual event and August 11 for the team competition, while the men will compete August 9 individually and August 14 for the team event.

After a stellar senior season, Wheatley became just one of six players in program history to be named to the first team All-Ivy League in back-to-back years. She also nabbed honorable mention All-Ivy League as a sophomore. The forward became a 1,000-point scorer, finishing with 1,137 in her career, the 24th player all-time to reach the mark. Wheatley boasts the third highest field goal percentage (56.1) in women’s basketball history and showed a fine all-around game as well, finishing with over 500 rebounds, 100 assists, 100 blocks, and 100 steals in her career.

Off the court, Wheatley was instrumental in orchestrating Athletes Helping Athletes events, a non-profit organization used to connect local special needs athletes with mainstream studentathletes in a spirit of friendship for their mutual benefit and inspiration.

Sparked by Murdock’s Aggressive Backcourt Play, Majeski Foundation Wins Summer Hoops Crown After missing the opening game of the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League championship series, Eric Murdock was determined to make an impact when he hit the court for Majeski Foundation in game two last Friday.

With first-seeded Majeski,

which is comprised of players from The College of New Jersey men’s hoops squad, having defeated third-seeded King’s Pizzarama 62-58 in the opener on Wednesday and needing one more win to clinch the title in the best-of-three series, speedy guard Murdock showed a sense of urgency from the

start, repeatedly slashing to the basket at the Community Park courts.

“The whole time, I just wanted to be aggressive, attack the basket, and try to get everyone involved,” said Murdock, a 6’3, 175-pound guard who was named as an All-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) first-team performer last winter when he averaged 19.1 points and 6.4 assists a game in his sophomore season for TCNJ. “That has been the game all last season, playing for TCNJ. I just wanted to keep working on my game with strong finishing and making the right plays at all times.”

Murdock scored six points

as top-seeded Majeski built a 31-14 halftime lead over King’s, seemingly on its way to a rout.

But on the verge of elimination. King’s rallied, starting the second half with a 26-10 run to narrow the gap to 41-40.

Murdock and his teamm ate s, t h o u g h , we r e n’t fazed, outscoring King’s 2115 over the last nine minutes of the contest to earn a 6255 win and the title.

“We just stepped away from our game ; we were letting them come up the court and no one was getting back,” said Murdock, the son of former Providence College and NBA player Eric Murdock.

“After a while, we adjusted, making sure people were getting back and stopping the ball. We started hitting shots again towards the end and we got our lead back a little bit.”

In reflecting on the team’s

12-1 campaign, Murdock cited balance and unselfish play as keys to its success.

“Everyone wants to move the ball and work together and that is what this team has been about all summer season,” said Murdock, who scored a game-high 19 points on Friday with Jordan Glover adding 14 and Eric Klacik chipping in 11.

“Ever y game someone else was leading the way; it wasn’t even by a lot, maybe the leading scorer had a four or five point differential. It was a group of unselfish guys. We just have one goal at hand and that is to win.

I am very fortunate to be on this team. It is a group of selfless guys and all we want to do is win championships.”

Klacik, for his part, saw an intensity from his teammates as they went after their goal of a title.

“Guys are definitely commit ted ; we are not just

showing up here and playing two times a week,” said Klacik. “Everyone is working out the other five days. It is showing this summer, guys are definitely improving.”

Putting in extra work over the summer puts the squad ahead of its NJAC foes.

“To us, it is serious basketball even though it is a summer league,” added Klacik, pointing out that the team advanced to the summer league semis last year and the title series in 2014.

“This gives us momentum. We leave from school and a lot of teams may not see each other or whatever.

Seeing each other two times a week and playing together is big advantage for us.”

For Glover, being on the court in June and July helps deepen the team’s already strong bonds.

“We are a brotherhood; we are not from the same kin but on the court we are all brothers,” said Glover.

“This is helping us because next season we have to come in dialed in.”

Glover was dialed in down the stretch this summer, earning the Foreal Wooten Playoff MVP award, totaling a team-high 46 points in Majeski’s four postseason contests.

“I was honestly surprised; I like to be humble,” said Glover, reflecting on winning the award. “I like to feel that I am coming in and learning. I don’t like to bring anyone down; I like to keep everyone together.”

In Murdock’s view, coming up with the summer league championship could lay the foundation for a title run by TCNJ in its 2016-17 campaign.

“We just have to play together; it is not individual basketball, it is working with all five and even everyone on the bench,” said Murdock, noting that the Lions advanced to the NJAC title game this past March.

“If people on the bench aren’t screaming and getting everyone encouraged, we are going to have a slow start to the year. If everyone buys into the system and we focus on that one goal, we are going to be a good team this coming winter.”

With the Community Park Bluefish coming off an undefeated season in 2015, Mike Uchrin was looking forward to seeing what his swimmers could do this summer.

“We came into the season with some really high expectations and with us hosting the championships, the bar was set really high,” said Bluefish head coach Uchrin.

“I had a feeling, based on how well we did last season and the great assistant coaching staff that I knew was coming back, that we had an opportunity to take it to the next level and exceed those expectations in an incredible way.”

Uchrin’s intuition proved prescient as the Bluefish posted another undefeated season and then capped the summer with a dominant performance in the PASDA championships, piling up 3,805 points to win the Division 1 team title with Flemington-Raritan second with 2,158.

In reflecting on the summer, Uchrin pointed to the program’s inclusive nature as a key to its success.

“The culture is really incredible because it is a combination of a place where kids can come together and work as a team and still have fun first,” said Uchrin.

“The community has embraced us as a place where swimmers of all backgrounds can come to improve, come to have fun, and to make some friends. We have these top level club swimmers enjoying our team alongside some kids who are new to the sport so that combination has really created something special for us.”

As the summer unfolded, it

became clear that this year’s squad was a juggernaut.

“Once we got midway t hrough t he season, we knew that this was really something special,” said Uchrin.

“We had never won the PA S DA M i n i M e e t, t h e 10 -and-under only meet.

I don’t even think we have placed in the top two before and once I saw us go through there and end up winning that, we were in a great position. It was exciting to see that and build it up to have such an amazing time at PASDAs, having fun with it and setting the score that we did. It was really eye-popping in the end.”

The Bluefish got an eyepopping performance at the championship meet in the 10-and-under girls from BB Kim, who won the 25-yard freestyle, 25 backstroke, and 25 butterfly to earn the PASDA MVP award in her age group.

“BB set a new record in the 25 free,” said Uchrin, who got first place finishes in the group from Courtney Weber in the 25 breaststroke and 100 individual medley.

“That 10-and-under group, they were so incredible, coached by Nicky Kratzer, a former Bluefish swimmer. I think we took first overall in every single event and relay in Division I, which is absolutely remarkable. Between Courtney, BB, Piper DuBow, and Georgia Johnson, they brought their A game.”

In the 8-and-under girls, Zoe Bitterman and Emily Walden spearheaded a deep group.

“Zoe Bitterman made a splash last year and she came out and continued it again this year with a strong

finish at the PASDAs,” added Uchrin of Bitterman who was third in the 25 free and the 25 fly with Emily Walden winning the 25 free.

“This was probably one of deepest and strongest team in the Association; we had 60 8-and-under swimmers between the boys and the girls. Kelsey Schwimmer and Lillian Buckley did a great job of helping each one of them.”

Depth was a strength of the 12-and-under girls. “For those girls, it was a team effort with Tracey Liu, Abby Walden, Katie DiVenti, Erin Kiesewetter, and Kate Becker,” said Uchrin. “Their relays were top three.”

Susannah Tuder led the way for the 14-and-under girls, taking first in the 50 breast and sixth in the 50 free while Cameron Davis placed second in the 50 free and third 100 IM, Ella Caddeau was second in the 50 fly and third in the 50 back, and Veronique DiBlasio came in second on the 50 back.

“The 13/14 group was really a remarkable group, they are a great representation of our team,” said Uchrin.

“It is a large combination of summer swimmers and club swimmers who came together with Susannah Tuder, Ella Caddeau, Cameron Davis, Veronique DiBlasio, and Rebecca Della Rocca. They really put on a show with some incredible margins.”

The team’s older girls also put on a good show as Maddie Schwimmer took fourth in the 18-and-under 50 fly while Emily Becker was sixth in the 50 back and Elizabeth Shwe placed 10th in the 50 back. “ M a d d i e S c h w i m m e r, Elizabeth Shwe, and Emily Becker showed great leadership throughout the whole season and they swam really hard at PASDAs,” said Uchrin.

“It was Elizabeth’s last year because she graduated; it was great to see her go out there and have success.”

Success on the boys’ side for the Bluefish started with the squad’s younger swimmers. Brian Krol took third in the PASDA boys’ six-andunder 25 back and fourth in the 25 free while Mathew Krol was third in the 25 free and fourth in the 25 back.

David Brophy won the boys’ 8-and-under 25 free and was third in the 25 fly.

“In the 6-and-unders, Matthew and Ryan Krol did a great job,” said Uchrin.

“The 8-and-under boys was a really, really deep group. You can see that in the relays and a standout in par ticular was Dav id Brophy, who went and won that 25 free. He had a great swim.”

In the 10-and-under boys’ group, Brett Torgerson took fourth in the 25 free with Martin Brophy coming in fourth in the 25 back, Matthew Baglio taking third in the 25 fly, and Ben Walden finishing seventh in the 25 breast.

“I would give a shout out in the 10-and-under boys to Brett Torgerson, another one who has been with our team for a long time, along with Martin Brophy and Ben Walden,” said Uchrin.

Peter Knigge and Julian Velazquez came up big for the 12-and-under boys at the PASDA meet with Knigge taking second in the 50 breast and fifth in the 50 free and Velazquez taking second in the 50 back and fourth in the 100 IM. “Peter Knigge and Julian Velazquez were standouts,” said Uchrin. “That group of boys had a blast working together all summer, they stuck together so that was

fun to see.”

The 14-and-under boys had a lot of fun, with Brandon DeGrezia winning the 50 fly and taking third in the 50 back, Calvin Ristad coming in second in both the 50 breast and 50 fly, Gefen Bar-Cohen placing third in the 50 back and fifth in the 50 free, and Jason Kratzer finished sixth in the 50 free and seventh in the 50 fly.

“Gefen Bar-Cohen, Calvin Ristad, Jason Kratzer, and Brandon DeGrezia, that is a group with a lot of history in Bluefish swimming,” said Uchrin.

“They had some really tough competition this season but they went and they swam as hard as they could at PASDAs. Brian, Jason, Calvin, and Gefen worked together to put on the best show that they could and it was a great season for them.”

Stephen Kratzer and Dylan Torrance led the way for a superb corps of 18-andunder boys swimmers. Former Princeton High standout Kratzer placed first in the 50 free and 50 fly while Torrance prevailed in the 50 back and 100 IM. “They are an incredible group; I have no problem saying that they are the absolute best in the association,” asserted Uchrin, who got another first from Eric Liu in the 50 breast.

“Their leadership reflects so well upon t he ot her groups in our team. They look up to these guys. Dylan Torrance and Stephen Krat zer ended up being co-MVPs for PASDA; they were both on two recordsetting relays along with

Jake McBride and Eric Liu. They set the medley and the free relay record and they took every individual event combined. Stephen finished his Bluefish career so well, winning by just a couple of fractions of a second but he managed to take first overall in both of his events.”

While seeing his swimmers getting firsts and setting records was great, Uchrin was more impressed by the way they enjoyed themselves in the process.

“The better measure is the amount of fun we had while doing it,” said Uchrin.

“After every home meet, we go over to get some pizza together. On Fridays, we take out the lanes and play games. We had sharks and minnows in the dive well; the history on that game for the Bluefish goes beyond when I was born. The team traditions are a great part of summer swimming. It was an amazing season and it was a lot of fun. It is worth all of the effort and all of the time.”

Uchrin sees more good seasons ahead for the Bluefish. “We have such a great fou ndat ion, we have so many kids who end up coming back every year,” said Uchrin.

“We want to take it to the next step, wherever that may be. If that means we need to try to improve our facility even more, that is what we will do. We will do whatever it takes to keep this success going and I feel really confident that will be in a very good place moving forward.”

CP Bluefish Swimmers Cap Perfect Season in Style; Utilizing Depth, Talent in Cruising to PASDA Title

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, AuguST 3, 2016 • 30

Displaying Quality, Upbeat Competitive Approach, Nassau Swim Club Surges to 2nd in PASDA Meet Liz Noles has fond memories of wiling away summer days with the Lenape Swim Club program.

“My friends and I would spend almost all day there and just hang out because we have grown up with that,” said Noles, who starred for the girls’ swimming team at Montgomery High and helped it win a state Public A title in 2015.

Joining the Nassau Swim Club this summer as a cohead coach of its Lemmings team, Noles felt right at home.

“Ever yone was so welcoming; the kids are just so friendly and outgoing, they will talk to anyone about anything,” said Noles. “I felt very welcome. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I was very happy with it.”

Noles is very happy with how the team competed this summer. “I think everyone had a great season,” said Noles, who guided the program along with Logan Barnes.

“They were always happy with the wins but no one was devastated by the losses.

They had fun doing it.”

After going 2-2 in dual meets in Princeton Area Swimming and Diving Association (PASDA) Division 2 regular season action, the Lemmings placed second in the Division 2 team standings at the PASDA championship meet last week at the Community Park pool with 1,687 points, trailing only the Ben Franklin Swim Club, which piled up 2,993 points.

“We had a little over 60 sw im mers, which seems small, but it was enough for all of our meets,” said Noles, who is entering her sophomore year at the University of Maryland where she is studying supply chain management and is involved with College Mentors for Kids and the Children’s Developmental Clinic on campus.

“We had some really high quality swimmers, so that really helped make up for our size in a lot of meets.

The swimmers did very well at championships.”

At the PASDA championships, the Nassau boys’ 10-and-under group did very well, led by Daniel Baytin, who took first in the 25-yard freestyle, the 25 breaststroke, and the 100 individual medley.

“We were actually second to last for Division 2 going into the final session of PASDAs and those boys managed to pull us up to second for the division so they all did fantastic,” recalled Noles. “ D a n i e l B ay t i n b r o ke three records at the championships and he got the 10-and-under MVP award.

Coll Wight, Alex Burton, Owen Barr y, and Daniel had a fantastic relay. They were almost unstoppable this season.”

In the 8-and-under boys, Sinjin Scozzaro did well, taking fifth in the 25 free and second in the 25 backstroke.

“Sinjin is a great swimmer, he has so much energy,” said Noles, who also got good work in that age group from Piers McDowell, who took third in the 25 back and second in the 25 breast.

“He loves swimming; he would come into the pool with cap and goggles on, ready to jump in and swim.

He worked on his strokes so much this season and really improved. We really liked what we saw from him at champs.”

Simon Sheppard and Lorne Wight led the way for the Nassau boys’ 12and- under group. Sheppard won the 50 back, the 50 fly, and was third in the 50 free while Wight placed first in the 50 breast, 100 IM and was second in the 50 free.

“They are both very, very fast swimmers; Lorne swims in a club team and Simon came to all of our practices,” said Noles.

“They definitely are dedicated swimmers and just do whatever I put them in, no matter what. Even if it is not their favorite stroke, they will swim it.”

At the 14-and-under boys, Henry DeCheser showed his

dedication, taking second in the 50 fly, third in the 50 breast, and sixth in the 50 free.

“He was one of two 14 and under boys, he had a very strong summer,” said Noles.

“I ended up swimming him up with the 18-and-under sometimes and he held his own there. He is a very versatile swimmer. He could do any event I put him in which is good considering that I had very few 14 and unders.”

Recently graduated Princeton High star Will Kinney was a stalwart for the club, competing in the 18-andunder boys.

“Will Kinney wasn’t at the championships,” said Noles, noting that Kinney also served as an assistant coach for the Lemmings.

“Throughout the rest of the season he was fantastic at dual meets and he was fantastic with the kids.”

The Adlai- Gail sisters, Becca and Rachel, enjoyed another big season for the club. Becca won the 100 IM, took second in the 50 free, and third in the 50 fly at the PASDA meet while Rachel took second in the 100 IM, fifth in the 50 fly, and eighth in the 50 free.

“They swim for a club team but they would come to the meets,” said Noles. “Wherever I put them in, they did well. It was Becca’s last summer swimming; she just graduated high school. They did amazing at champs.”

One of Nassau’s younger swimmers, Phoebe Roth, had an amazing meet at the PASDAs in the 6-and-under girls, taking first in the 25 free and second in the 25 back.

“Phoebe’s whole family has swum for the Lemmings, she has a summer birthday which is great,” said Noles “She turns seven this summer so she can still swim the 6-and-under.”

The Wei sisters, Juliet and Kimberly, proved to be another strong family connection for the Lemmings. Juliet took second in the girls’ 8-and-under 25 fly and 25 breast, while Kimberly was second in the girls’ 12-andunder 50 back, fourth in the 50 breast, and fifth in the 50 fly.

“They were always at the meets, ready to swim,” said Noles. “They could do whatever I asked them to do and they did a great job with it. They are very dedicated swimmers.”

Isabelle Monaghan and Margaret Hill did a great job in the 14-and-under girls.

Monaghan placed second in the 50 free, 50 back, and 100 IM while Hill won the 50 fly, took third in the 50 free, and fourth in the 50 back.

“Isabelle and Margaret were our only two 14-andunder girls, which was somewhat unfortunate because it was hard to make the 14and- under girls’ relay,” said Noles.

“They are just such strong s w i m m e r s we c a n u s u ally swim them up in the 17-year-olds and they hold their own. They both would come to practice and do exactly what we asked. They definitely improved throughout the season. They had a great time; they have all their friends on the team.”

T h e t e a m’s c o r p s o f 12-and-under girls produced some strong performances as well.

“I had four or five 12-andunder girls; their relays did great,” said Noles. “It was u s u a l l y S op h i a B u r ton, Emma Hopkins, Kimberly Wei, and Nina Urciuoli.”

All in all, Noles enjoyed the great spirit she saw around the Lemmings this summer.

“Everyone on the team is so close,” said Noles. “All the kids on the team knew each other so well. It was very laid back, like I think summer swimming should be.”

Isobel M. Metzger

Isobel M. Metzger died on July 27, 2016 in Princeton, New Jersey. She was 98 years old.

Born in Lima Peru, Isobel was the eldest child of Scottish parents, the Rev. John A. Mackay and Mrs. Jane L. Mackay. John Mackay was the founder of Colegio San Andres in Lima, and served as an evangelist and educator in Latin America. Isobel received her early education in Peru, Uruguay, Mexico, and Inverness, Scotland.

In 1932 the family moved to Summit, New Jersey, and four years later, when John Mackay was called to become president of Princeton Theological Seminary, Isobel and the family moved to Princeton. She graduated from Summit High School,

Wellesley College, and Columbia Teachers College.

Following graduation Isobel taught in schools in Silver Spring, Maryland and Short Hills, New Jersey. In 1944 she married Bruce M.

Isobel welcomed students to her home each semester and extended warm hospitality to countless visiting pastors, missionaries, and professors from the United States and abroad.

James Robert Deneen Ja m e s Rob er t D eneen died on July 16, 2016, at the Morris Hall Meadows in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, following a prolonged illness.

He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Thalia S. Deneen and his son, Christopher Deneen. A memorial gathering for friends and family will be held on Saturday, September, 17, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton.

Jim was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to James A. Deneen and Margaret (née Simpson) Deneen on March 28, 1928. He grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, moving to Evansville, Indiana in his teen years.

In his late teens, Jim entered St. Meinrad Seminary where he majored in philosophy and classics. Upon graduation, St. Meinrad sent him to the University of Innsbruck for graduate

studies in theolog y. Jim would often describe this as the best time of his life; studying theology in Austria, biking in the summers through Europe with fellow seminarians, and studying German and French at the Universities of Paris and Heidelberg.

After ordination in Innsbruck, Jim returned to the United States to serve the Diocese of Evansville. He was chief administrator of a nursing home and superintendent of Evansville Catholic Schools. During this period he also earned an MA in school administration from Catholic University in 1957. Despite his many responsibilities, he found time to teach classes in religion and history. Teaching would remain a life-long passion for him.

In 1968, Jim earned his PhD in educational administration from Indiana Universit y, Bloom ing ton. A year earlier he had become executive secretary of the superintendents department

American Furniture Exchange

30 Years of Experience!

of the National Catholic Educational Association in Washington D.C. The following year, Jim resigned his ecclesiastical position and was later laicized. He soon joined the Ford Foundation in New York City as a consultant on educational administration and began teaching as an adjunct associate professor at Fordham University.

In Februar y 1969, Jim married Thalia Stathas, a professor of English Literature at Indiana University. In September, they moved from New York to Princeton where Jim had been hired by ETS. The following year, their son Christopher was born.

Jim joined Education Testing Service (ETS) in 1969 as director of teacher programs.

He went on to become director of educational services and was later a program officer for ETS’s College Board Division and Advanced Placement Program (AP).

He remained with ETS until his retirement in 1992, but until 2000, he was an active member of the Joint College Board-ETS Research Committee for the AP. Jim remained t remen dously active in retirement.

The emphasis of his work had always been the betterment of teachers, schools,

and students. The areas Jim worked in ranged from better classroom assessment to enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. This emphasis carried over into his retirement. During his professional career and retirement Jim authored over 40 articles and books on educational issues and taught 60 institutes and workshops for principals and teachers.

Jim also served as a member of the board of the Princeton Adult School and the board of trustees of the Princeton Charter School.

As a board member, he organized and led the school’s successful accreditation process. He was also a board member and chaired the Charter School Committee of the American Academy for Liberal Education (AALE) in Washington D.C. He continued to serve as a consultant to ETS, the AP, and the College Board, as well as The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.

Retirement should be a period of diversifying one’s interests and Jim pursued this goal with vigor. He became active in the Princeton Old Guard, helping to organize speaking engagements.

He also became a member of the Princeton University

Jim and Carm sought and gained the support of several school principals and arranged workshops to train teachers to participate in the program. Working in collaboration with educational leaders, they increased involvement of Trenton public school parents in their children’s education. In 2011, at 83 years of age, Jim published his final book with Carm Catanese, Urban Schools: Crisis and Revolution. Drawing on their experiences working in Trenton and the current challenges in education, the authors provide a roadmap to where public education might go and how it might serve those most in need.

This book is both synthesis and capstone to a careerlong passion for excellence in education and a life lived in service and dedication to that cause.

Jim Deneen’s life is well characterized by Chaucer’s description of the clerk in The Canterury Tales: “And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.” Although Jim is no longer here, the illumination and inspiration he has provided to friends, family and the countless people whom his life has touched remain.

Art Museum Docents Association. As a docent, he was able to continue his life-long commitment to teaching. Jim also continued his membership in an informal Princeton Men’s Group that holds meetings and retreats to discuss personal experiences, intellectual interests, and news topics of global importance.

It was through the Men’s Group that Jim became involved with his final, seminal project: helping Trenton public schools and their at-risk students. The Men’s Group devoted considerable time to championing the need to provide better public education for at-risk Trenton school children. The Trenton Times made editorial page space available to Jim and his colleagues for this project. Jim and the group were lead sponsors of a symposium to reform urban education for disadvantaged New Jersey children conducted under the auspices of Princeton University’s James Madison Program. Jim and his fellow Men’s Group member, Carm Catanese, also enlisted the Trenton Chamber of Commerce and the city’s Housing authority to support summer classes for computerized reading instruction programs in Trenton public schools.

FALL'S ALMOST HERE - TIME TO RETHINK YOUR ASKING PRICE The spring market has come and gone, and with the advent of school, the summer market will be reaching its conclusion in the next few weeks. If you haven't found a buyer for your home yet, don't despair: That means there are still buyers out there who haven't been able to close the deal on their ideal home – and your home could be just what they're looking for.

Of course, you're not the only seller out there who's hoping to capitalize on end-of-thesummer buyers . To draw attention to your property, keep up on cleaning and maintenance tasks - keep the lawn cut and refresh the blooms in porch planters – and, yes, get serious about lowering your price. End-of-summer buyers know they're in a good bargaining position with sellers anxious to close a deal before the holidays. You don't have to lower your price to rock bottom levels – just make sure it's competitive. An experienced agent knows the market inside and out. Let them suggest the best asking price for your home based on current market indicators to attract the buyers most likely to be interested in your home, and position yourself for a sale before the leaves start to fall.
