Send Hunger Packing Hosts “Hunger Banquet” To Raise Funds, Awareness At the hundreds of Hunger Banquets held by the global organization Oxfam each year, participants might be served rice and water at one table and a gourmet meal at the next. It’s all the luck of the tickets they draw — a concept designed to demonstrate the gap between food choices for the rich, the middle, and the poor. While the offerings at the Princeton Hunger Banquet on Sunday, September 20 won’t be as extreme, the idea is the same. The fundraiser is being held at Hinds Plaza by Send Hunger Packing Princeton (SHUPP), the two-year-old charity that provides aid to food-insecure families in town. Upon entering, participants will be given tickets directing them to a table serving a meal typical of a low, middle, or high-income family. “We wanted to do something to bring awareness to the fact that food insecurity exists in Princeton,” said Elisa Neira, the town’s Human Services director. “Families and children are not getting enough nutritious foods, or might not be eating three meals a day, or might be having to cut the size of their meals. And another thing we see is concern about where the next meal is coming from, particularly toward the end of the month when they are waiting for the next paycheck.” According to research by SHUPP, some 420 Princeton children are food insecure. While the ones who qualify get free or subsidized school lunches during the week, there is no help for them on the weekends. SHUPP partners with Mercer Street Friends to provide backpacks containing food to take home on Fridays for needy children in grades kindergarten through five, and at the Princeton Nursery School. Ms. Neira and others involved in planning the event were inspired by a Hunger Banquet simulation held recently at the Hun School. “The idea was to teach students about world hunger,” Ms. Neira said. “They took the model from Oxfam and followed it, and we will do the same. We’ll have three different tiers, with meals representing what each group would normally eat.” So while one table will be set with a tablecloth, silverware, and centerpieces, another will have no tablecloth and paper Continued on Page 7

Council Wants Answers About Post Office Building

The introduction of an ordinance that would convey easements on the property of the post office building in Palmer Square to its prospective new owners led to a spirited discussion at a recent meeting of Princeton Council. Members of the governing body said they want more information about what the California-based buyer, LCOR Ventures, is planning to put into the building that has been a fixture on the square since 1937. Responding to Council’s request, municipal attorney Trishka W. Cecil has offered the attorney handling the sale an opportunity to either meet informally with Council members Jenny Crumiller and Heather Howard, or make a more formal presentation about plans for the building at a future meeting of the governing body. “I have yet to hear back from him,” Ms. Cecil said Tuesday of attorney Richard

Goldman, who is with the firm Drinker, Biddle, and Reath. “But a lot of the Council members had questions they need answered, so I’m waiting to hear what he says.” It was Ms. Crumiller who was the most vocal about her concerns for the property, which the United States Postal Service is selling as part of a system-wide downsizing. The branch will be relocated to a smaller site at the rear of the former West Coast Video store on East Nassau Street. No plans have been announced for the building, though it has been suggested that it may be used for retail or a restaurant. “I think we’re doing a disservice to the public by practically giving away those easements,” Ms. Crumiller said at the August 10 meeting. “We should put up some resistance. It will be a terrible loss if we have to give up the post office. It will

probably be high end retail, and I’ve heard from so many people that they are against this. I would ask that we say no, let’s not provide the easements.” The Postal Service has proposed paying Princeton $10,000 in return for new easements that are needed for certain features of the property including steps and window wells, which spill over onto land that is owned by the town. Easements granted back in the 1930s dictated that they would expire if the post office ever sold the property. The buyers need to have the existing easements extended, and some new ones conveyed before the sale is finalized. Other members of Council were less inclined than Ms. Crumiller to say no to the easement requests. “I, too, mourn the loss, but the reality is that post offices are closing everywhere,” said Ms. Howard.

GRANDPALS GETS BIGGER: You don’t have to be a grandparent to join the eight-year-old program known as Grandpals, which pairs people aged 50 and up with young children. This coming school year, the program has expanded to all four of Princeton’s elementary schools. Some 90 Grandpals like Jan Johnson, shown here with Madison Charles and Ira Stone, now read weekly to more than 300 children from kindergarten through second grade, sharing a love of books and building relationships. On September 16 at 10:30 a.m., participants and those interested in joining can attend a session at the Suzanne Patterson building, 45 Stockton Street. There are 14 classes participating this year, including some bilingual Spanish and English classes, so those with some knowledge of Spanish are encouraged to participate. To register, call Olivian Boon at (609) 924-7108. Light refreshments will be served.

Miller also spoke in favor of granting the easements. Ms. Crumiller then suggested that wording require that the building be kept for a public use rather than “a private club or a religious thing.” Councilwoman Jo Butler asked for clarification on how the historical features of the building will be preserved.

The post office was the first building to open on Palmer Square. It is listed on the state and national registers of historic places as contributing to the Princeton historic district. A 1939 mural depicting Native Americans reacting to the arrival of European colonists, a scene that has caused controversy in recent years because some consider it to be racist, is among the building’s historical points of interest. The ordinance could be re-introduced at the next Council meeting on Monday, August 24, and a public hearing could be held at the meeting on Tuesday, September 15. —Anne Levin

BUILDING BIG TOP SKILLS: Trenton’s former Wireworks Factory is the site of an ambitious new program that trains children from the inner city and outlying towns in circus tricks. Trenton Circus Squad has gotten an enthusiastic reception and is spreading “like wildfire” among local children.

debuted only a few months ago in a light-filled space at the old Trenton Wireworks Factory. Still in its infancy, the program has already attracted more participants than its planners predicted. But they couldn’t be happier about this enthusiastic response. “We had a target of having 150 kids this summer, and more than 800 came through,” said Zoe Brookes, the organization’s executive director. “And we’ve had an audience of about 1,100.”

TOPICS Of the Town Ms. Brookes and partner Tom von Oehsen are planning to make Trenton Circus Squad a year-round opportunity for children from Trenton, Pr inceton, and other neighboring communities. Inaugurated this summer with two three-week sessions, the program is designed to introduce young people to circus skills and the discipline and cooperation they demand. “It’s a wonderful way to allow kids to explore their own limits in a safe way,” said Ms. Brookes. “They get to experience failure, learning, and success. It’s challenging, but you have to rely on other people and try things over and over again. The other thing about circus is that there is a wide variety of things to do. So different talents and different body types can do different things. Some people are good at juggling. Some are good at comic timing. It’s easy for kids to find something that speaks to them and gives them a base.” Another goal of Trenton Circus Squad is to pair children from different backgrounds and economic circumstances. Half of the children participating come from underserved Trenton families, while the rest are from surrounding towns. “So there is a variety in terms of income and experience,” Ms. Brookes said. “Our formula is to help youth to develop but also bridge the gap between Trenton and other areas.” Ms. Brookes and Mr. van Oehsen had been working separately in the field of youth circus when they met and made the decision to

partner on a new venture. The British-born Ms. Brookes is a trained engineer with a master’s degree in business. She was the chief operating officer of Isles, the Trenton social service agency. In 2008, she founded Stone Soup Circus. “I made community circus and youth circus my thing,” she said. “I can do a lot of the skills and I actually taught circus skills when I was with Stone Soup Circus.” Princeton native Mr. von O e h s e n , a g r a d u ate of The Lawrenceville School, trained at Barnum & Bailey Clown College in Sarasota, Florida before attending the University of Pennsylvania.

He has taught clow ning sk i l ls at P r i nce ton Day School, Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart, and elsewhere. “Tom had been thinking about how to have more kids involved through a circus in Trenton. He had worked in that area and he was experimenting,” Ms. Brookes said. “At the same time, I was working for Isles, becoming more aware of the potential for circus to bridge

the gap between the city and the surrounding towns and bring youth together.” Mr. von Oehsen read in the newspaper about what Ms. Brookes was doing, and the two connected last summer. Joining forces, they spent the year raising funds. Private donations of about $240,000 helped launch the program. The partners hope to get additional support from private sources and foundations. “Over time,” Ms. Brookes said, “we expect that kids coming from

families who can afford it will continue to make donations.” Kids pay nothing to participate in Trenton Circus Squad. The summer program participants engaged in 21 workshops for 900 young people from the Trenton area, hosting groups from Urban Promise, Boys and Girls Club, Homefront, Joy in Siblings United, Mercer House Youth Shelter, and Catholic Youth Organization. They displayed their skills at PEI Kids, Ever y

Child Valued, and Mill Hill Child and Family Development Center, attracting a bunch of new recruits. “We performed every Friday, and every time, some more kids would join,” Ms. Brookes said. “The kids who have shown up have really stuck with it and enjoyed it. They come from a wide range. Some were just walking by, looked in and asked if they could join. Others came from referrals we had from the police and other sources. It’s great to see how the kids help each other. We don’t require a particular skill level, but we ask them to be prepared to learn from each other, work on themselves, and be prepared to give back.” Ms. Brookes asked some of the participants about their experience during the program. “A few said ‘I don’t feel judged here.’ Or, ‘People are kind to me when I’m trying new stuff,’” she said. Testimony has also come from other sources. “This was so awesome! It helps the children to build selfesteem because they are trying new things that they wouldn’t normally do,” wrote Dr.Juanita Johnson Brooks, the clinical director of PEI Kids, in a report issued by the Circus Squad. “Once participants have mastered the new skills, their faces are beaming with joy.” The partners are hoping to have a long-term lease that would enable them to continue the program at the Wireworks. Enrollment is set for fall, and sessions begin mid-September. “It has gone amazingly well so far,” said Ms. Brookes. “I’ve been impressed with how kids from outside Trenton have heard about us, and their parents drive them in. And inside the city, it’s spreading like wildfire.” —Anne Levin

• Recycling • MONDAY For Princeton

Question of the Week: “What would you like to do before summer ends?”

(Asked at the Community Park Pool)

“I plan to hang out at the public library, because it’s awesome, and to go to the Community Park Pool as much as possible. There are lots of events at the library. Our summer reading program is coming to a close on the 16th. Shortly after that, we roll out the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program. Anybody who has kids that are not yet in kindergarten, I encourage them to sign up with us. The program helps promote early literacy. I recommend books by Eric Carl. These are books that don’t necessarily have to have words. The Day The Crayons Quit is a personal favorite.” —Emily Mervis, part-time associate, Youth Services Department, Highland Park

Jack: “I’m going to the Berklee College of Music, and then when I get back home I’ll go to the beach as much as possible and hang out with camp friends from YMCA Camp Mason this summer.” Theo: “Probably go to the beach with my camp friends and maybe visit New York City.” K’saun: “I’d like to meet up with camp friends and hopefully go to the beach, but I also have some things to do to get ready for school.” —(from left) Jack Devine, West Windsor, Theo Yasson Plainsboro, K’saun Smith, Linden, N.J.

plates. The menus have yet to be finalized. “We’ve been debating a lot about whether to make a drastic difference in the meals,” Ms. Neira said. “And a lot has to do with the fact that we have vendors who will be providing and giving a feel for the food.” Students from Hun will act as facilitators at each table. “They have done this before. They know how to start healthy conversations about food insecurity,” Ms. Neira said. “I’ve heard stories from people from Hun, who have told us that it’s usually the middle income table that initiates the giving, which is interesting. Because when you look at the real world, a lot of the volunteering, if not necessarily money, comes from middle income people.” Ms. Neira hopes that families [with children aged 8 and up] will attend the banquet. “This is a great opportunity for parents to teach their kids about giving back,” she said. “We’ll try to divide families so not all members

are at the same table. When they go back home, they can discuss what they have experienced.” Steve Cochrane, Princeton’s s up er i nte n de nt of schools, is likely to deliver closing remarks at the event. A keynote speaker has yet to be named. The event will be held rain or shine, thanks to tents and tables from the Princeton Public Library’s Children’s Book Festival, which is being held the day before. “They’re leaving everything up, which is so generous of them,” Ms. Neira said of the library. “They have been incredible.” T he Pr inceton Hunger Banquet will be held Sunday, September 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. Tickets are $50 a person.

workshop. All services will be provided free of charge, except for a nominal charge for photocopies. There will be Spanish-speaking volunteer interpreters at the site throughout the event. The workshop will assist applicants for U.S. citizenship and for the process known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). A non-citizen who has been a Legal Permanent Resident for at least five years (3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), can demonstrate basic command of the English language and good moral character may qualify for citizenship. The application fee is $680 which can be waived for applicants whose household income falls below 150% of the federal

two million foreign-born residents are U.S. citizens. Young people who entered the country without authorization prior to June 15, 2007, were less than 16 years old at the time, are in high school or in a program leading to a high school equivalence diploma, or have already graduated from high school, may also be eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). They would receive temporary employment authorization, with which they can also apply for a driver’s license. Only one-third of the approximately 70,000 New Jersey residents who are believed to be eligible for DACA have applied. The filing fee is $465.

On Sunday, August 30 at Christ Congregation, the Reverend Robert Moore will preach and give an update on the Iran Nuclear Agreement, as the deadline for the deal approaches. The talk will be at 11:15 a.m., during the 10 a.m. Christian worship service. The Reverend Moore has served as a leader in interfaith peacemaking for more than 35 years. His talk is titled “Diplomacy Not War With Iran.” There will be an opportunity for a question/answer dialogue following the talk. Christ Congregation is at 50 Walnut Lane, across from Princeton High School and Westminster Choir College. For more information, visit www.peacecoalition.org or call (609) 924-5022.

BACK TO SCHOOL Employment Opportunities for Teens in the Area Are Available From a Wide Range of Sources

inding that all important job is a challenge to day. At whatever age, job seekers face competition, barriers, and more specific eligibility requirements than ever before. Although adults regularly deal with these difficulties, the job search for young people can be even harder. And even though the economy has improved since the economic downturn of past years, teens looking for work today may discover that jobs previously open to them have frequently been filled by adults. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly all young people — 98.6 percent — hold at least one job between the ages of 18 and 25. The average young person has 6.3 jobs between those years. Some work part-time or in the summer only, while others hope for full-time employment as their path to economic independence. Infor mal weekend and summer jobs — from baby sitting to mowing the lawn and weeding the garden

to cleaning the neighbor’s pool — are still the answer for many teens. But other opportunities are out there too. It just takes some determined looking and perseverance to pin them down. Most Applications Summer jobs are those most available for teens, but there are others that are year-round, and sometimes, summer positions can lead to year-round employment. The Princeton Human Services Department provides a Summer Youth Employment Program that continues to expand, offering a variety of positions to teens. “This year we had the most applications ever, and we placed 37 teens in jobs,” says Elisa Neira, Human Services executive director. The program, which began in 1999, provides opportunities for teens ages 14 to 17, who live in Princeton or go to Princeton High School. Funded by the municipality, it links participants with local non-profit agencies, organizations, and municipal government jobs. The program begins right after the Fourth of July and

runs seven weeks, ending the third week in August. An introductory program to promote employment-readiness begins in May, and a job fair is also held when applicants can meet prospective employers. Helping teens to understand and adapt to the demands of employment is an important part of the programs’ readiness program, adds Ms. Neira. “This includes leadership workshops, financial information and management, and goal-setting. We help them with the appropriate dress code, preparing resumes, and we hold mock interviews.” Eye Contact In this age of ceaseless teen texting, advice on how to address an employer and make eye contact during the interview is very significant. All the participants work 25 hours per week, Monday through Friday, for the $8.38 hourly minimum wage. Work schedules are determined by the individual sites. This summer, teens worked at the municipal office, including

TEEN TIME: More teens than ever participated in the Human Services Summer Youth Employment Program this year.

Occasionally, summer positions can lead to year-round employment. the tax department, also at the Princeton Nursery School, the Princeton Public Library, and the YM and YWCA. “We ask the employers to teach the teens and give them meaningful jobs and a meaningful experience,” points out Ms. Neira. “They can earn $1500 over the course of the program, and Continued on Next Page

February,” says Vikki Caines, administrative assistant / customer service supervisor. “There are openings in customer service in the front office, where the minimum age is 16. For the day camp, they can start as counselors at 14.” Appl i c a nt s m u s t h ave working papers, and the R e c r e at i o n D e p a r t m e n t pays minimum wage, adds Ms. Caines. 80 life guards are typically employed, and they must have certification that they have passed the necessary qualifying life guarding tests. Work Ethic “We prov ide intensive training in all areas,” points out Ms. Caines. “In customer service, I like the diversity of the students I meet. My work ethic is very strong, and I have very high standards and expectations. The kids learn a lot. I work with them, and I am right along beside them.” Ms. Caines has met many teens at the Recreation Department, and she is pleased when she encounters them in later years. As she notes, “A young man recently came up to me in the library, and said, ‘Miss Vikki, Miss Vikki! Do you remember me? You gave me the opportunity to have my first job.’ It was a real pleasure for me to see him again.” Although teens working at the Princeton Senior Resource Center are mostly volunteers, they may occasionally be hired if there are openings, explains Executive Director Susan W. Hoskins. “The reality is that they start out as a volunteer, and then, eventually, we may hire them for a specific project. The criteria are to start as a volunteer, demonstrate reliability, and have a good work ethic.” An interesting program is available to young teens who are interested in baby sitting as a source of employment.

“Having my voice emerge in studio art class, that’s My Hun.”

Safe Sitter is a national n o n - p r of i t or g a n i z at i o n that provides programs to teach young people life and safety skills appropriate to many situations. In particular, they are geared to those watching younger siblings or baby-sitting others. Founded by a pediatrician in 1980, it offers 850 teaching sites, and each year 35,000 young people complete the course. Safe Sitter has been associated with the Princeton Health Care System’s Communuity Education and Outreach, and has held classes in the area, including at Princeton Wellness, for many years, says Safe Sitter instructor Robyn D’Oria, Skill Set “This program provides the teens with a skill set from a standard curriculum that can help them in many ways. One or two-day courses cover a range of information, including CPR, infant CPR, childlcare essentials, behavior, and preventing problems. For example, we’ll ask them ‘how do you expect a three-year-old to act?’ We discuss what to do if a child bumps his head, falls off a bike, gets burned, or chokes. And when they should call 911. We also talk about a safe environment. What if they hear a noise or think there may a burglar? What if the power or lights go off?” Safe Sitter emphasizes that young teens need training in first aid, indoor and outdoor safety, and how to handle household and medical and behavioral emergencies before they are adequately prepared to stay home alone, watch younger siblings, or take on baby-sitting jobs. All sites registered to teach Safe Sitter utilizes Safe Sitter-trained instructors only. Prior to course completion, students must demonstrate acceptable skills in the care of a choking infant and child, and pass a written examination. Safe Sitter partners with organizations, including hospitals, fire departments, and youth-serving organizations to implement the program. The next program, including two days of courses, will be held November 5th and 6th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hamilton Y MCA , which is associated with the Princeton Health Care System. Classes are for those 11-years-old and up. In terms of looking for jobs, a variety of websites, including www.snagajob.com/jobsearch/w-princeton+org/gteen, offer information. In Princeton, a number of businesses offer teens summer and year-round employment when openings are available. Among them are McCaffrey’s, Thomas Sweet, Whole Earth Center, Jazams, and Kopp’s Cycle. Currently, Hinkson’s, The Office Store, has an opening for a computer savvy teen who can help with the store’s website and social media. Whatever the level of employment, any of these entry opportunities offers teens the chance to enhance their skills, manage resources and information, work with others, and utilize technology. All tools that will be valuable in whatever direction their life and career takes them. —Jean Stratton

another problem. People forget they have the phone and swim with it, or it even goes through the washing machine, or they spill liquid on it.” Retrieving pictures from the damaged phone is a big challenge, he adds. “The biggest issue for most people is ‘I don’t care about the phone; I just want the pictures.’ They can always get another phone, but it’s the personal nature of the pictures that matters most. We are often able to save the pictures for them.” In addition to individual customers, who comprise 50 percent of the business, Mr. Stone has an increasing association with schools and corporations. “We’ll go

to the schools and spend time repairing the device on site,” he points out. “We can also pick up items and bring them here to repair. For the schools, we mostly repair phones, tablets, and computers. “We hope to establish an on-going arrangement with the schools, and we look forward to them becoming regular customers. Corporations use us as an extension of their support group, and that includes repairing their employees’ personal devices. There are many opportunities in Princeton.” Digital Doc also fixes ebooks, including Kindle and Nook, and in many cases, items can be repaired in one day. “We can repair the most popular items the same day,” repor ts Mr. Stone. “We know how important

Registration Now Open For Evergreen Forum

“ W h at i s T i m e ? ” a n d “W hat’s So Great About Art?” are among the classes being offered this fall by the Evergreen Forum, at Princeton Senior Resource Center. Registration is open at the website theevergreenforum. org, by mail, or in person at the Suzanne Patterson Building on Stockton Street. Telephone applications are not accepted. “Religious Freedom, Sexism and Homophobia” will explore why “religious freedom” seems to be the defense of choice to claims of discrimination against women and the LGBT community. “Murderous New Jersey” will go beyond the state’s most famous murder cases (e.g., the “Minister

and the Choir Lady” case and the Lindbergh “crime of the century” kidnapping) to investigate related developments, beginning with the invention of the electric chair and its role as a “Progressive” reform. Another course is “Advances in Medicine for Older Adults.” Well into its second decade and still growing, Evergreen Forum is an all-volunteer program that provides daytime study and discussion programs for adults and encourages active participation for those who enjoy learning for its own sake. Course leaders are drawn from retired teachers and other professionals who volunteer to teach because they are devoted to their subjects and want to share their enthusiasm. Most of the courses take place in the Suzanne Patterson Building or at Monument Hall. A few are off-site. Course fees ($75) cover administrative services, overhead costs, and classroom space. Financial assistance is available to those for whom the fee is a hardship; contact PSRC E xecutive Director Susan Hoskins to apply. Complete course information, including reading assignments, class participation, and required texts, will be sent by e-mail (or regular mail) at least two weeks before the first class meeting and will also be available on the website. There may be additional costs for books, parking, or other materials. Class members who withdraw from a course before the second meeting will receive a refund minus a $10 processing fee. Other Evergreen Forum Course offerings this fall include “Scenes from Shakespeare,” “Contemporar y Business and Economic Issues,” and “Issues Confronting the Modern Judiciary.” A class discussing old and new Klezmer music and an-

other on “Mexican Short Stories” (taught in English) are also included.

The lottery will be held on first choices, and people who are not selected will be enrolled automatically in their second or third choice, if possible.

Mailbox A Satire About the Monster Machines Making Noise Your Ears Won’t Forget

To the Editor: [What follows is unkind to Princeton’s hard-working professional lawn mowers, but it was written during a 7:30 a.m. cutting/blowing. It is really about the rest of us.] I like getting my act going by 7:30 or so in the a.m., half hour before legal, make sure folks know I’m here. Within a couple of minutes I take a whole quiet block and turn it into something that makes Newark Airport sound like a country club on a Sunday morning. You want decibels? I’ll give you noise your ears won’t forget. Get a couple of my super-riders going at the same time and you know the night is gone. Yards here are the perfect size, big enough to take a while, small enough to keep you in earshot of 20 neighbors. Seems like forever to you but then comes the real fun. That’s when I crank up my leaf blowers. Remember rake and broom? Nothing really much to blow, but we like three blowers at once so you think we’re really doing something, and it’s like a Boeing plant right here on your own property. We do a regular symphony, one blower high, one low, one just going up and down, turn ‘em off and on, get the rhythm really going. Nobody dozing in this concert hall. You can see raccoons and possums hustle off down toward the lake, the birds start shrieking just to hear each other, the dogs get to barking. It’s a regular neighborhood party. If you left a window open, you’ll slam it shut fast. If you’re drinking hot coffee listening to the morning news, you can quit right now. Can’t hear it anyway, can’t even swallow. If you missed a full night’s sleep, don’t want to go to work, you’ll hustle right off anyway to the quiet of a good office. We can raise your blood pressure a full ten points, dilate your pupils, give you bloodshot eyes like a cartoon character, reconfigure the relationship between you and your wife, make you carp at your kids. You’ll wish

they’d never invented grass. I think about this while I’m working. It keeps me going. When I’m done I just mosey on three or four houses further down and do it all over again. All day long. What’s fun is, folks, you’ve got a fancy-written public nuisance code. Makes it “unlawful for any person to make, continue or cause to be made or continued any loud, continuous or excessive noise or any noise which … annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of others within Princeton.” It guarantees that blowers be “adequately muffled.” Love that word, “adequately.” Words, words, we know who’s boss. Grass gotta be short. Laws or no laws, me and my machinery, we’re home free. JEROME SILBERGELD Philip Drive

Some Suggestions for a Positive Approach To Tear-Downs, Changes in Housing Stock

To The Editor: No one can deny: the community is changing. Our town is remarkable and many want to move here. Thus, I agree — higher income people are going to move to Princeton and will buy more expensive homes than our existing stock. Rather than lamenting the change, our community should figure out rules to ensure those changes are positive. Here are some ideas. 1. In the case of tear-downs, have a building permit fee for those homes that markedly increase the square footage. Use these funds for low-income housing and open space preservation. I suggest $400,000. 2. Develop architectural standards that require homes to be interesting to the streetscape. 3. Enact a mansion tax to lower everyone’s property taxes in general. 4. Change the tax code to measure home size in cubic feet. I believe that with the above changes, the homes will still be built, newcomers will still come. We are simply collecting too little for the changes that are occurring. PHIL LUDMER Caldwell Drive

“Genius at Play” Takes Readers Inside The Curious Mind of PU Mathematician Pick up Genius at Play: The Curious Mind of John Horton Conway by Siobhan Roberts and chances are you won’t be able to put it down. Just out, the book already has a waiting list at the Princeton Public Library. Its subject is the Princeton University mathematician, or “mathemagician” as he’s been called, who invented the cult classic Game of Life back in the 70s. The game, known simply as Life, demonstrates how complexity can come from simplicity, providing an analogy for all mathematics and everything in the entire universe. Born in Liverpool in 1937, Mr. Conway found fame as a barefoot Cambridge professor. He discovered the Conway groups in mathematical symmetry and invented the aptly named surreal numbers. He has been known to recite π from memory to 1,111 digits. And he came to Princeton in 1987 to become the John von Neumann Professor at the University. Like von Neumann, Mr. Conway is a polymath; his

contributions to game theory, knot theory, number theory, coding theory, group theory, and geometry are legendary. With good reason he is a Fellow of the Royal Society, along with his Cambridge colleague Stephen Hawking and such past luminaries as Alan Turing, Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, and Isaac Newton. As revealed in Genius at Play, he is an endearing individual of insatiable curiosity. Ms. Roberts had full access to her subject, whom she investigates with gusto, exploring both professional and personal idiosyncrasies. The Toronto-based Canadian journalist and science writer has won no less than four National Magazine Awards and her first book, King of Infinite Space: Donald Coxeter, the Man who Saved Geometry, won the Mathematical Association of America’s Euler Prize. She came to Genius at Play while researching for that book. Coxeter, it turned out, was a hero of Mr. Conway’s, and

GENIUS AT PLAY: The curious mind of Princeton University mathematician John Horton Conway is revealed in full Baroque splendor in Siobhan Roberts’s new book, published by Bloomsbury.

the biographer interviewed him at a summer mathematics camp. “Witnessing him playing endless games with kids, it became abundantly clear that this was his natural milieu; there was no other way he’d rather spend his time.” Mr. Conway read Ms. Roberts’s manuscript and ended up talking about himself: “about crashing overnight at the Kremlin in ’66, about attending the burial of Cromwell’s skull at Cambridge, about his three wives and all the other women, more than he can count (he tried once during a bout of insomnia) …. He’s a talker, not a listener. While Coxeter epitomized the reticent and restrained Edwardian gentleman, Conway is the rare man inclined to forthright and global disclosure.” The biographer had discovered her next subject. While writing Genius at Play, Ms. Roberts spent time at the Institute for Advanced Study as a Director’s Visitor at the invitation of then IAS Director Peter Goddard. A biographer has a daunting enough task when her subject is dead, but when her subject is very much alive, that task is doubly challenging. How does Ms. Roberts cope with her larger than life subject? She does it in a novel way that features the mathematician’s comments, anecdotes, reminiscences and discursive digressions throughout the book, set off in a distinct typeface. She allows the masterful storyteller room to spin yarn. “Writing the book was a decidedly collaborative effort,” she said. “Conway sat for countless interviews, willingly (and sometimes unwillingly).” According to popular science writer Martin Gardner, “Conway is a creative genius.” Genius at Play describes him as “an unabashed original: Archimedes, Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali, and Richard Feynman all rolled into one with a

“Running Flat” Offers New Kind of Storytelling

Created by writer Eric Maywar of Trenton’s Classic Books, photographer Tamara Ramos, illustrator Bethany Sellers, with music by Blue Method, Running Flat is a web-based novel that combines storytelling, photography, illustration, spoken word and music in a way impossible to do on the printed page. “If books can be digital books, why not do new and interesting things,” says author Eric Maywar. Further taking advantage

of the medium, Running Flat, like a digital version of a Dickens novel, will deliver the story and art in installments, straight to the reader’s inbox. And it will be continually updated to the Running Flat website (www. runningflatnovel.com). On the website, the reader decides how to read the story. Each chapter will be sortable by character and plotline. So if you want to read only the parts of the stor y that have A madeo D’Onofrio, the man who once beat a man to death with a bag of doorknobs, you can click on his name and read just about him. Mr. Maywar, and photographer Tamara Ramos, have begun a KickStarter campaign where you can pre-order a subscription to the novel or other swag like posters that will help fund the photography and illustration.

“slyly bent sense of humor” and “a compulsion to explain everything about the world to everyone in it.” The book has received rave reviews from the likes of Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind and Grand Pursuit; James Gleick, author of The Information and Chaos; and Roger Penrose, author of The Road to Reality and The Emperor’s New Mind.

Art Michener Museum to Showcase Kaffe Fassett’s Latest Quilts Fans of the California-born London transplant Kaffe Fassett should mark their calendars now for a new show coming to the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown later this year. “Blanket Statements: New Quilts by Kaffe Fassett and Historical Quilts from the collection of the Quilt Museum and Gallery, York, U.K.” will open November 14 and continue through February 21, 2016. From needlepoint to knitting, from interior design to quilting, Mr. Fassett has inspired countless professional and amateur designers with his hands-on approach and passion for deep vibrant color for both items to wear and interiors to live in. No one does color like Mr. Fassett and no one shares his techniques and sources of inspiration with more generosity and enthusiasm. Born in San Francisco, in 1937, Mr. Fassett won a scholarship to the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston when he was 19. He was quickly lured across the pond and settled in London in the mid-60s. Inspired by the colorful yarns he saw in a Scottish woolen mill, he bought some Shetland wool and taught himself to knit with the help of a fellow passenger on the train back to London. His first design appeared as a full page spread in Vogue Knitting. His oneof-a-kind garments are collector’s items. In 1988, Mr. Fassett was the first living textile artist to have a one man show at the Victoria & Albert Museum, an appropriate venue for an artist who draws inspirations from landscape, vintage textiles, mosaics, and cultural traditions across the globe. The exhibition drew record crowds and brought the artist world recognition. He has designed needlepoint for Marks & Spencer department stores and for clients around the world and he’s also worked for Oxfam, advising poverty-stricken weavers in India and Guatemala on designs that would be more marketable in the West. As a result, a range of colorful hand woven fabrics is being produced for use as

shirt fabric, bed throws, and patchwork fabric, available in the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2013, the accomplished ar tist was awarded T he Turner Medal, named for the famed English colorist, J.M.W. Turner. Previous winners include Zandra Rhodes and John Gage. Known as a guru in the world of color and textiles, Mr. Fassett’s many books include Glorious Color, Glorious Knitting, Glorious Interiors and, more recently, Glorious Patchwork. The Michener will be one of only two museums in the United States to host this special show, for which Senior Curator of Exhibitions Kirsten M. Jensen will provide curatorial oversight. The 35 historical and contemporary quilts on display at the Michener include 15 new quilts by Mr. Fassett who created them in response to 15 historical quilts that he selected from the collection in the Quilt Museum and Gallery in the English town of York. The quilts date from 1780 to 1949. The artist will be lecturing and hosting a series of hands-on workshops during the exhibition. Bucks County Connections Although it comes to the Michener from the United Kingdom, “Blanket Statements,” which was shown in England as “Ancestral Gifts,” has strong Pennsylvania connections: three of the new quilts were designed by Bucks County artisans, and ten of them were crafted in the area under Mr. Fassett’s supervision. In addition, the Michener is augmenting the exhibition with a number of mixedmedia quilted pieces by the contemporary Philadelphia artist Virgil Marti, who frequently integrates textiles into his work. T he publication, Heritage Quilts, which includes stunning photographs and detailed descriptions of the quilts on display as well as patterns and instructions for each of Mr. Fassett’s quilts, will be available for purchase.

Behind the Wheel With Neil Young — An Imaginary Conversation

jackings, pesticides and autistic children. He doesn’t correct me when I suggest that what he’s leaving out of the lyrics and letting the music say is that love and music are actually just what people need if they’re going to live with and acknowledge the destructive realities; it’s not that they want to hear about love; what they’re looking for is music powerful enough in itself to make them feel love even as they absorb the tough love of the message. Here I can’t help bringing Blake back into the conversation because the idea of a song saying that love and music draw force and energy from the pain of knowledge, making a heaven of hell, reminds me of another proverb, “Excess of sorrow laughs, excess of joy weeps,” not to mention the “Wrong side of right, right

leaves your brain wide open, like you can feel the wind blowing right through it.” The subject came up after my reference to guitar heaven and the joyous jamming on The Monsanto Years. “It’s my version of the road to excess,” he says, with a wink. His head-to-head jousting with Promise of the Real and the 20-something Nelson brothers can be seen on the DVD that comes in the same package with the CD. Hoping to rouse another smile, I mention the Rolling Stone piece, where Micah Nelson describes how Neil sets the forces of “dreamy, surreal” excess in motion: “My favorite thing is when he hits what I call the ‘cosmic hurricane black hole tornado button.’ He hits this button on the Whizzer and it’s like suddenly just a bajillion tons of cosmic sludge are

side of wrong” refrain in his song “Rules of Change,” which prompts me to carry on about the headlong unfettered spirit of the new album. “Guitar heaven!” I tell him. He nods. Then shows me a sideways half-smile as he reprises a deadpan quote he gave Rolling Stone in “Behind the Scenes of Neil Young’s New Protest Album”: “It’s an upbeat view of the situation.” The Wisdom of Excess We’re back in his book again, which is subtitled A Hippie Dream. In the same chapter that begins with him driving he talks about how all through his life he’s been on “two separate paths, acoustic and electric.” He finds acoustic “liberating if confining” because it means “jamming was more or less out of the question.” Some people like one and “some like the other.” Jamming means playing with his soulmates in Crazy Horse. As he puts it, “The physical feeling of playing with the Horse is like nothing else. It

hurled into a wormhole and they’re blasting out of his amp into my back.” The cosmic hurricane blows most magnificently through “Working Man,” “Rules of Change,” “Big Box,” and the album’s first track, “A New Day for Love,” where people get something like the song denied them in “The People Want to Hear About Love,” except here it’s love, rage, and glory, a combination that makes you understand the gift that electric guitars were created to deliver to a desperate world (at times you seem to be hearing an echo of Eric Clapton and Dwayne Allman’s delirious jams on the Layla album). What I want to tell him but can’t put into words is how much raw courage it must have taken for him to pound home the truth, time and again, song after song, that the “new day” for planet, sun, and love will not happen until we’re willing to do battle with “the greedy who only plunder for themselves.”

Songs Haunted and Haunting Now that the Blakean road has leveled out and the visibility has improved, we share some coffee from his thermos. “Definitely not Starbucks,” he says. I’m anxious to talk about two songs on The Monsanto Years that have more to do with depths of feeling than the topical urgency of fact, though both make moving reference to the album’s overriding message. “Wolf Moon” is a prayer of thanks and an obvious descendant of “Helpless,” where the moon was yellow and the birds threw shadows on our eyes. The other new song, “If I Don’t Know,” which closes the album, is a symphonic lament suggestive of his conflicted where-am-I-heading state of mind toward the end of the chapter in the car. It’s also the first time he looks the listener in the eye, so to speak, as he’s looking at me from the driver’s seat, speaking the words again: “If the melodies stay pretty/And the songs are not too long/I’ll try to find a way/To get them back to you.” But there’s more. Of course. There’s always more. There’s the death of rivers, the finding of oil and “shooting poison in the ground, the veins, Earth’s blood.” Those are the last words he has for us. “The Earth’s blood.” That sounds somber, but the music lifts everything to another level. It’s a deliverance, it’s the sound of love, passionate and inspiring, with Lukas Nelson playing to the angels, casting one searching, yearning line after another. Again, silence in the car. I’m thinking of the other older song that this one seems to have grown out of, the song written in a shack in Laurel Canyon when Neil was with Buffalo Springfield. There are thousands of songs about love. “Expecting to Fly” is love, the real thing, as the music rises from anticipation to a slow, sad waltz danced by lovers finding and losing one another. “By the summer it was healing,/We had said goodbye,/All the years we’d spent with feeling,/Ended with a cry ….” Helpless, helpless, helpless. He knows. When you fall in love, you fall …. You can hear “Expecting to Fly” on YouTube with the original video, which is of a highway seen from the point of view of a driver. You know who’s driving. It’s a misty road with lots of curves and sudden changes. The road rolls on like a dream, finding and losing itself, following curves and descents, rising and falling, in and out of mist, morning or evening. The emotional pulse and surge, the rise and fall of the music, coheres with the movement of the road. As the driver writes in his memoir, “Where is this headed? some highway at the bottom of some hill? Tell me about it. I’ve been there.” hree months away from his 70th birthday, Neil Young is still going strong. —Stuart Mitchner

chapter near the end of Neil Young’s autobiography Waging Heavy Peace (Blue Rider 2012) begins with him behind the wheel of his car “rolling down a California two-lane highway” listening to a group called the Pistol Annies, with “visions of the future and past” brewing in his “coffee-soaked mind.” I can relate to a driving-listening-to-music chapter because that’s how I bonded with his new album, The Monsanto Years (Reprise), in which he teams up with Willie Nelson’s sons Lukas and Micah and Lukas’s group Promise of the Real to put the Fear of Neil into corporate giants, with special attention to the one targeted in the title. If I were riding with Neil Young on that California two-lane highway, I’d be telling him my thoughts about the new record while he’s cranking up the volume on the Pistol Annies’ Hell on Heels, saying he’s finally hearing something that makes him feel good: “I love the vibe these girls have! The way they talk about real things.” Rather than mention his future decision to make an album with a group called Promise of the Real, which might spoil the illusion that we’re actually sharing a ride in a continuum where past and present are one, I start asking him about William Blake. I’m wondering how much Blake he read when he was composing the score for Dead Man (1995), Jim Jarmusch’s self-described “psychedelic western,” which is full of quotes from Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. I figure that as a songwriter attracted to paradox (using Waging Heavy Peace as a title for the story of his life) and metaphors of flight, as in “Expecting to Fly” and “Birds,” he must have had his head turned by proverbs like “Energy is eternal delight, the Road of Excess leads to the Palace of Wisdom, and everything that lives is holy,” and especially the notion that a single bird could contain “a world of delight.” Thinking about birds and Blake, he slows down as we drive through some morning mist, telling me how walking in the forest “is like going to church,” with the “God-rays streaming down through the trees” and how much of his heart went into “Helpless,” a song he wrote and recorded with Crosby, Stills and Nash when he was 25. Rather than sing it to me, he recites a verse, “Blue, blue windows behind the stars, /Yellow moon on the rise,/Big birds flying across the sky,/Throwing shadows on our eyes/ Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless.” After that we stay silent while he concentrates on following the odd turns of the road through the mist, which is heavy at times. Love and Music Don’t ask me how, but we’ve been listening to The Monsanto Years and he’s politely allowing me to talk about the way he incorporates the corporate by taking creative possession in music of not only Monsanto, but Citizens United and Walmart in “Big Box” (“They don’t want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you/Too big to fail, too rich for jail”). Then there’s “People Want to Hear About Love,” which reviewers have read as a “rant” (“typical,” says Neil) about escapist audiences hiding from the dark truths like pipeline politicians, fish dying in the deep blue sea, corporate hi-

Roxey Ballet’s Dracula interprets Stoker’s famed horror story through a complete sensory experience of movement, music, and spoken word with pyrotechnic, sound and lighting effects. Showcasing 14 professional dancers, the performances take place in the intimate, 72-seat Canal Studio Theater in Lambertville. “We’re so excited to celebrate Halloween in Lambertville with 12 thrilling performances of our popular Dracula ballet,” said Mark Roxey, founding director of Roxey Ballet. “This production is not for the faintof-heart. The small venue combined with bone-chilling music and multi-media effects draws the audience deeply into 18th century England and the disturbing story crafted by our worldclass dancers.” Mark Roxey’s original dance choreography, set to a collage of music and sound effects by David Hanoman and stage designs by Lisa McMillan, follows Stoker’s classic vampire tale. The audience comes face-to-face with all the notorious characters: the unwary Renfield who accidentally falls

victim to Dracula on his way to the opera; the lovely Lucy; and Dr. Van Helsing who leads the attack to rescue those who have fallen prey to vampires. General admission seating may be purchased online at www.RoxeyBallet.org or by phone at (609) 397-7616. Tickets cost $30 in advance and $35 at the door. The audience is encouraged to come in Halloween costume. Parental discretion is advised. Dracula will be followed by the 21st Anniversary American Holiday Classic Nutcracker which opens November 28. ———

“Sweet Charity” at Washington Crossing Theatre

The Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre will become home to Neil Simon’s musical comedy Sweet Charity for two weekends. Set to open on Friday, August 21, Sweet Charity continues through Sunday, August 30. Performances are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Charity Hope Valentine is the girl who wants to be loved so much that she has lost sight of who she is. Charity sings, dances, laughs, and cries her way through romances with the “animal magnetism” hero, the “ultrachic continental” hero, and the “impossible-to believebut-he’s-better than nothing” type hero. Her world is the all too real world of Times Square, and the people who pass through her world are as deceptively charming a group as ever swept across any stage. From her cynical, hard-core trio of girlfriends at the dance hall, to the phony evangelist, the Coney Island “fun people,” the Central Park “strollers” and the YMHA “self-improvers,” every character is interesting. Cy Coleman’s rhythms and Dorothy Fields’ lyrics capture the sounds and vernacular of New York City in the 1960s. Coupled with Neil Simon’s look at the amusing side of life, Sweet Charity includes

Best of Enemies

Documentary Revisits Legendary Vidal — Buckley Debates

ore Vidal and William F. Buckley, Jr. were among the most brilliant and articulate minds in America of their generation. The pair were also political polar opposites which made the idea of hiring them to appear in a series of televised debates a stroke of genius. This was ABC-TV’s idea in 1968, at a time when the network’s news department shows lagged far behind CBS and NBC in the ratings. They planned to have the liberal Vidal and conservative Buckley square-off during ABC’s coverage of the Democratic and Republican national conventions that were taking place that summer in Chicago and Miami Beach, respectively. Arranging the showdown proved to be easier said than done, since the men not only hated each other politically, but personally as well. Buckley saw himself as the defender of the status quo in the face of the 60s countercultural revolution that was demanding equal rights for blacks, gays, women, and other oppressed groups. As expected, sparks flew during the spirited exchanges marked as much by Buckley’s arcane syntax as by firebrand Vidal’s iconoclastic comments. However, because neither participant wanted to lose, what began as

sophisticated intellectual analysis degenerated into an exchange of insults. When Vidal referred to Buckley as a “crypto-Nazi,” he lost his composure and called Vidal a “queer.” A defamation lawsuit and counter-suit ensued, and the litigation dragged on for years. Co-directed by Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville, Best of Enemies is a fascinating documentary which revisits a seminal moment in the history of television. The Vidal-Buckley arguments over topics that ranged from religion to sexuality served to usher in a new era of discourse in the public media. Besides archival footage of the debates, the conventions, and the anti-war demonstrations that were raging outside the conventions, the film features commentary by luminaries Frank Rich, John McWhorter, and the late Christopher Hitchens. Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for sexuality, nudity, and profanity. Running time: 88 minutes. Distributor: Magnolia Pictures/Magnet Releasing. —Kam Williams

weetGrass in Hopewell is already a big hit with diners who have discovered this charming restaurant tucked away in a mews-type setting at 9B East Broad Street. Opened October 1, of 2014, it offers a delightfully eclectic menu, featuring fusion cuisine with a comfort, southern style of cooking.

IT’S NEW To Us

“While I offer a southern way of cooking, not every dish on the menu is southern,” explains chef/owner Sarah Gresko. “I was very careful when I planned the menu, making sure that it’s my own thought, and not like other places. This helps to set us apart.” Interested in cooking from the time she was a young girl, Ms. Gresko was influenced by her mother, who encouraged her to try out her fledgling culinary skills in the kitchen. Culinary Arts “W hen I was in high school, I also took courses at Gloucester County Vocational School, and then I worked with a chef at a country club. He always

pushed me and challenged me to do more.” She went on to graduate from Atlantic Cape Community College in Hammonton, with a focus on cooking, and then attended Johnson & Wales University (College of Culinary Arts) in Charleston, S.C. After obtaining her degree, she spent four more years in Charleston, including employment at a cafe and restaurant. “I also had an externship at the Middleton Plantation,” she says, “and I learned the southern way of cooking, a comfort style of cooking.” Having her own restaurant was always a goal, she adds, and after returning to New Jersey, she spent three years working in Cherry Hill before the opportunity to open a restaurant in Hopewell came along. “This space became available, and I liked the idea of being in Hopewell. I also liked to create my own dishes and experiment with new ideas. You really revisit everything you ever thought of, including family recipes from the past. There is always something new coming along.” SweetGrass, which offers lunch, dinner, and take-out, seats 46 inside and 20 outside on an appealing patio. The ambiance is warm and

welcoming, with attractive terra cotta panels and a series of photographs featuring scenes in or near Charleston by Jane Lurie Photography (Ms. Gresko’s aunt). Southern Tradition The restaurant’s name is derived from the sweet grass that is prevalent in the south, explains Ms. Gresko. “It is often used in making baskets and other woven items, and it is part of the southern tradition.” Dining choices have been popular across the board, she notes, with customers eager to sample a variety of dishes. With soups, salads, appetizers, and entrees covering a range of tastes, there is something to appeal to every palate. She-crab soup, a southern favorite, has become a favorite “up north” as well. Salads include spinach and arugula with fennel, figs, grapes, brie, and creamy vidalia house dressing; also ribbons of squash, featuring eggplant caponata, feta, proscuitto chips, and lemon thyme vinaigrette; and several other equally delicious salads. Lunch includes sandwiches such as the very popular SweetGrass BLT, with fried green tomatoes, applewood bacon, crisp lettuce, and bacon aioli; the equally favored pulled pork featuring roasted apple slices, and coleslaw on an onion poppy bun. Regarding the latter, Ms. Gresko notes, “Some of our customers say they have never tasted flavors like this.” The eggplant caponata

sandwich includes grilled vegetables, feta, heirloom tomatoes, and caponata; the southern fried chicken with black-eyed pea cake, chard, and tomato coulis will please southern palates, as will the shrimp and grits, including shrimp hushpuppies, grits, pickled okra, and creole sauce. The SweetGrass burger offers certified Angus beef, choices of cheese, lettuce, and tomato on an onion poppy bun. For dinner, starters include zucchini fritters with pickled beets, roasted anjou pear compote, and champagne walnut oil; and fried green tomatoes with the SweetGrass special bacon jam, grits, and grain mustard remoulade, among several other tasty choices. Cajun Shrimp Butter Popular entrees are crab cakes with green beans, fennel, tomato salad, and beurre blanc ; pork with baked apple, Brussel sprouts, celer y root and parsnip puree, and cranber r y pomegranate sauce ; chicken with andouille cornbread stuffing, Cajun shrimp butter, and sweet potato; and seafood stew featuring fish du jour, shrimp, clams, andouille sausage, and cornbread.

may indulge their sweet tooth with SweetGrass’s special creme brulee, bread pudding, pecan tart, pumpkin cheese cake, and a very decadent flourless chocolate cake. Ice cream from Halo Pub is also available. In addition to the fresh ingredients (many sourced from area farmers, reports Ms. Gresko) and the unique recipes, SweetGrass is noted for the visual appeal of its dishes. “P res entat ion is ver y important,” she observes. “You eat with your eyes before you take the first bite! I also try to serve a nice-sized portion, so that the diner is content and filled.” Coffee, tea, and other beverages are available, and many customers enjoy bringing wine or beer to accompany their dinner. The menu also includes vegetarian items and some gluten-free dishes. Prices cover a range, starting at $6 for soup and appetizers, $7 for salads, $9 for sandwiches, and $18 for entrees. Special Experience Ms. Gresko is very pleased with the enthusiastic reception the restaurant has received in such a short time. “The word of mouth has

been great. Each week just gets better and better, with customers from all over the area, including Princeton and Lawrenceville as well as Hopewell. She is very proud of her associates at the restaurant, including cook Matt Ruzicka and manager Cutler Bernard. “Also, the servers are ver y knowledgeable about the menu, and this is very important. I want to offer the diners a special experience. “It is fascinating to live your dream,” she continues. “It really depends on how hard you push yourself to succeed. I like a challenge, and I want to be able to look back, and say ‘I did this; I accomplished something.’ It’s better to take a risk than to look back and say ‘I wonder what would have happened if I had tried that. If you don’t try, you will never know.” SweetGrass is open for lunch Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and for dinner, Tuesday through Thursday 5 to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 5 to 10. Dinner reser vations are suggested for Friday and Saturday. (609) 333-8912. Website: www. sweetgrassrestaurant.com. —Jean Stratton

PU Men’s Track Alum Callahan Shines at New Mexico, Finding His Stride to Lay Foundation for Pro Career

Despite graduating from P r i n ce ton Un iver s it y i n 2013, Peter Callahan’s college track career was far from over. With two seasons of eligibility remaining due to being sidelined by injury for long stretches as a Tiger, middle distance star Callahan was looking to compete in warmer climes. “I had to go out of conference; it was a hard decision,” said Callahan, one of the greatest middle dis-

tance runners in Princeton history, helping the distance medley relay to the NCAA indoor title and Tiger record (9:27.74) in 2013 and setting a program record i n t h e 1,0 0 0 ( 2 : 20.78 ) and graduating with top-5 times in the 800 (1:48.66), mile (3:58.76), and 4x800 (7:29.29). “I was dealing with a lot of injuries; some of the injuries came about from training in the winter. Training out doors all year was appealing.”

The Universit y of New Mexico (UNM) emerged as Callahan’s top choice to continue his track career and education. “Coach Vig ( Pr inceton cross country and distance coach Jason Vigilante) said I should look at New Mexico,” said Callahan. “He said trust me, coach (Joe) Franklin is great. I took trips to Oregon and Texas. I went out to UNM and fell in love with the place. Coming

from Chicago, I had heard of New Mexico only because of Brian Urlacher (former Chicago Bears star linebacker) going there.” Callahan sensed that the UNM program had something good going on. “A big component was feeling good about the coach and the team dynamic,” added Callahan. “They were under the radar. It was a group of guys training really hard. They were used to having fifth year athletes so I wouldn’t be an outlier.” Callahan ended up doing really well for the Lobos, taking fourth in the 1,500 at the NCAA outdoor championships in both 2014 and 2015. When he first arrived, Callahan focused on training and getting totally healthy, not competing for UNM until the spring of 2014. “My new teammates were good with it,” said Callahan. “It was interesting coming in and not racing. I didn’t do indoors, I didn’t put on a singlet until the spring. They could have said who is that guy. Since Vigs and Franklin are close friends, they were able to communicate. Coach Franklin was comfortable with me taking it slow. I got used to the altitude and the new environment. I had all fall to train, it was a re-set.” New Mexico proved to be a good fit in the classroom as Callahan thrived in a masters program. “Academically, I was in a graduate program,” said Callahan. “I minored in environmental sciences at Princeton. I am hoping to get a masters in science; they had good geology and environmental science. It was a small depar tment with really good professors. I think it really set me up for what I want to do, to work in the environmental cleanup field.” Callahan enjoyed his broadened horizons through competing in a new league. “The Mountain West is a very strong conference; it was very weird following the Heps results and the next week being in a different conference meet,” said Callahan, who took first in the 1,500 and third in the 800 at the Mountain West outdoor championship meet in 2014 and third in the 1,500 at the meet this year. It was very competitive, there were three All-Americans in the 1500 in 2015, three of the top eight in the NCAAs. Air Force and Boise State are really solid teams. The conference meet was held at Laramie, Wyoming, one of the highest schools in the country in terms of altitude. It is beautiful, it is a different feel, you are traveling a lot further.” Reflecting on his performances in the NCAA outdoor championships the last two years, Callahan feels good about what he accomplished. “I was fourth in the 1500 two years in a row; I learned a lot from each race,” said Callahan, who clocked a time of 3:39.60 in 2014 at the NCAAs and 3:55.22 this year. “Last year, I was in a good position but I mistimed my final push. Tactical decisions have to be made quickly and deliberately. This year, I led most of the race until the last few meters, that is different for me.”

Callahan likes pushing himself against the best. “I know I belong in the field and can compete with anyone, that is the way I always look at it,” said Callahan. “It is not just the NCAAs but racing at Heps with the high caliber athletes. It is tactical and fast; every race feels like high stakes. I remember all the teams pounding the track on the relays. It helped to have that experience.” Experiencing success as a student at UNM, Callahan was recently named as a first-team Academic AllAmerican and the Mountain West Men’s Outdoor Track Co-Student-Athlete of the Year, graduating with a 4.0 grade point average. “It is not what drives me; I am genuinely interested in what I am studying,” said Callahan, who also won a number of All-Academic accolades during his time at Princeton. “My family and brothers had good expectations for me. Princeton challenged me. I never had to compromise academics or athletics. Academics was something I was interested in. It was never a question that I was going to work hard in the classroom.” Reflecting on his time in New Mexico, Callahan was able to retain that balance while adapting to the laidback approach he encountered in the southwest. “It was incredible for me,” asserted Callahan. “Just like Princeton, it was a special place for me. I came from Chicago and went to school on the east coast and there is a certain pace of life. Com-

ing out of a very competitive atmosphere at Princeton, I took a step back. I saw that things can move at a slower pace and still work. It was nice to get a new perspective.” Having wrapped up his college career, Callahan is looking to compete at the pro level. “Now the plan is to transition into professional running and figure out where I would be training,” said Callahan, who ran in some races on the pro circuit in Europe this summer. “I would like to keep going at running for the next few years. I like the middle distances, the 1,500 and mile are where my strengths lie.” Callahan is hoping to go to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “That’s always the goal, making the Olympics is the highest achievement, that is the goal for everyone,” said Callahan. “I am putting myself in the position, using what I learned at Princeton and New Mexico. I am 100 percent in at the moment; I am just looking for a good set up for my training.” In Callahan’s view, his best is yet to come. “In the past few years, I have been able to get confident and handle tough workouts,” said Callahan. “I can go out for long tempo runs and feel really good the next day. It took two years to get injury free. I can focus on training to get fast so wherever I end up, I will be better equipped.” —Bill Alden

During his high school track career, Sam Pons learned there was no quick fix when it came to success in running. “I came to really appreciate it,” said Pons, a standout at South Pasadena (Calif.) High who was the California state champion in the 3,200 in 2010 and also won a state Division III cross country title. “You put in a lot of time and it takes a long time to see the benefits. It takes self sacrifice and figuring out what works. Once you see the work pay off, it is satisfying.” Coming to Princeton University in 2011 and joining the Tiger men’s cross country and track programs, Pons didn’t see his hard work pay off over the first few years of college. Plagued by injury, Pons experienced uneven results. “I got injured my freshman year and was hurt the majority of the season,” said Pons. “I ran cross country and had one race indoors and one race outdoors. I had hurt shins, I had a stress reaction in high school. I took more time than I needed to. It is something you learn; you have to deal with it. It was a big challenge.” While Pons placed fifth in the 5,000 in the Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championship in the spring of his sophomore and then took 15th at the Cross Country Heps in the fall of his junior year, he reached a crossroad coming into the summer before his senior season. “The junior year outdoor wasn’t the greatest season,” said Pons. “I was a little shaken, I needed to get back into it. I went out to Park City, Utah to train with the guys at altitude. Things went great, I came into senior year in my best shape ever.”

Averaging 85 -90 miles a week in Utah, Pons produced a superb senior season, taking third in the Cross Country Heps to help Princeton win the team title and then ending his career with a bang this spring by placing ninth in the 10,000 at the NCAA outdoor championships in a personal record of 29:17.54 to earn secondteam All-American honors. Pons could see the difference early on as he went to the head of the pack for the Tiger cross country squad. “Most of that season was good, I was much more consistent in terms of racing,” said Pons. “The Heps was a good race. I was trying to go for it and came on hard. I still got third and the team had a big win.” Dealing with a sore knee late in the fall, Pons’ patience was tested again. “Towards the end of cross country season, I was racing through a knee injury,” said Pons. “I took three weeks off for a small problem with my knee. I had a slow start in the winter, they didn’t take me to Indoor Heps. I didn’t deserve to go but it was a blessing in disguise. It may have put me in a better position because I didn’t have to peak for Indoor Heps. It can be tough to peak for that and then peak again in the spring.” Starting the spring with a big win in the 10,000 at Princeton’s annual Larry Ellis meet gave Pons a jolt of confidence. “I took a big step at the Larry Ellis meet, I had a big PR in 10k,” said Pons, who clocked a time of 29:35.78 in prevailing. “It was a testament to the training I did in the winter and early spring.”

Taking a step backwards with a lackluster performance in the 10,000 at the Outdoor Heps, Pons rebounded with a fifth place finish in the 5,000. “I finished 10th in the 10,000 at the Heps, that was ver y disappointing,” said Pons. “It was a bad day, I wasn’t feeling into it. I came back in the 5k the next day and there was no reason I should feel pressure. I thought let’s give this a shot. It was a slow and tactical race. I put myself in a good position. I was pretty happy with how I did.” Seeing the 10,000 as his best chance to reach the nationals, Pons was very happy with his effor t at the NCA A East Regional at Jacksonville, Fla. which saw him take fourth overall in 29:54.15 to advance. “That was huge, that was objectively the most impressive performance of my college career,” asserted Pons. “Finishing the race, it felt almost easy. I was slowly bu i ld i ng up a nd f i na l ly reached the point where I had the confidence and the racing ability. I was able to put it down.” Punching a ticket to Oregon’s historic Hayward Field for the NCA A championships meant a lot to Pons. “I always wanted to race there, I had read the books about Bowerman and Pre,” said Pons, referring to legendary Oregon coach Bill Bowerman and star runner Steve Prefontaine. “It was awesome to be there. After my regional race, I knew what I had to do. B eing A ll -A mer ic an (with a top 8 finish) was on my mind. It was something Chris Bendsten had done the year before, he had been talking to me after regionals, saying you can do it. I

saw how I finished at regionals and it was not out of the question. I was very comfortable and confident.” In the 10,000 final, Pons displayed his comfort level, biding his time in the early stages of the race before surging to a ninth-place finish and a personal record by nearly 20 seconds. “I knew I had to keep calm in the first half of the race at least, especially at nationals where it is all for the win,” recalled Pons. “There are a lot of surges and recessions. People can get amped up. You don’t want to run the race in lane two and cover more distance, Coach Vig (Princeton cross country and distance coach

Jason Vigilante) was saying calm, calm, even three and a half to four miles into the race. He kept saying stay cool and calm. It definitely helped me. Four guys separated, those guys are really good so it was let them do their thing. There was no point in killing myself to try to catch up with them. With 1,200 to go, I was in a pack of five in ninth place. I felt OK at that point. I thought everyone had something left. I didn’t have quite enough speed to catch one of them. I covered the last 400 in 60 seconds. I was confident that I could go under 29 minutes, I thought I had more.” With college eligibility remaining due to the time he

PU Sports Roundup PU Football Alum Gogolak Earns NFF Contribution Honor

Princeton University football great Charlie Gogolak ’66, along with his older brother Pete, will be honored as the co-recipients of the 2015 NFF Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award at the 58th NFF Annual Awards Dinner in New York City on December 8. The Gogolaks pioneered the soccer-style method of placekicking that is standard in today’s game with Charlie enjoying an All-American career at Princeton and Pete starring at Cornell. Both Gogolaks went on to star in the NFL. The NFF Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award provides national recognition to those whose efforts to support the NFF and its goals have been local in nature or who have made significant contributions to the game of football either to the manner in which it is played and coached or to the manner in which it is enjoyed by spectators. The Gogolaks become the 39th and 40th recipients of the award. “The Gogolak brothers created a lasting legacy as the pioneers of the modern place-kicking motion, and their impact on the game of football has been felt for more than 50 years,” said NFF President and CEO Steve Hatchell. “From humble beginnings, the Gogolaks were raised in Budapest, and the family fled the country during the Hungarian revolution. With no soccer team at their high school in upper New York State, the two tried out for

football, and the rest is history. We are honored to recognize their important contributions to football, as well as their long journey to the U.S., at our Annual Awards Dinner in December.” Charlie had never kicked a field goal before he arrived at Princeton, but he sold himself to College Football Hall of Fame head coach Dick Colman. He went on to become a First Team All-Ivy League selection in 1964 and 1965, the first two years the league honored a placekicker, and he was named a First Team AllAmerican in 1965. Charlie conver ted 16 - of-23 field goals in 1965, highlighted by a perfect 6-for-6 performance in a 32-6 win over Rutgers. He kicked a perfect 33-for-33 on PATs in 1965 and 89-for-94 in his career. Charlie finished his career with seven NCAA kicking records and broke his brother Pete’s record by connecting on 50 extra points without a miss. Charlie became the first placekicker selected in the first round of the NFL Draft when he was taken with the sixth overall pick by the Washington Redskins. In three seasons with the Redskins, he converted 32-of-57 field goals and 72-of-75 extra points. In a 72-41 Redskins win over the Giants in 1966, Pete and Charlie combined for 14 extra points, tied for the most ever in NFL history. Pete played another three seasons with the New England Patriots, converting 20-of-36 field goals and 42of-42 PATs. Charlie received his law degree from George Washington University during his Redskins playing days and retired from A.G. Edwards, a Boston based brokerage firm, in 2009. He served on the Princeton admis sions committee and the Board of Trustees for the

Northeast Harbor (Maine) Library, and he was awarded the Abraham Lincoln Award for Citizenship by the American-Hungarian Foundation. Charlie was also a volunteer for the Boys and Girls Club and formerly coached a boys’ soccer team in New Jersey. He was named to the Ivy League Silver Anniversary All-Star Team in 1981 and is a member of Princeton’s All-Century Team. Pete Gogolak began to play soccer at age 13 for the Hungarian Junior National team. However, the family fled the country during the Hungarian revolution of 1956, settling in Ogdensburg, N.Y. The boys enrolled at Ogdensburg Free Academy, and Pete began playing football since the school did not have a soccer team. Charlie starred a few years later as the school’s punter. Pete played offensive and defensive end. He practiced kicking on the side, mastering a soccer-style kick as opposed to the popular toe kick. Pete earned a scholarship to Cornell by sending in a film of him kicking 45-yard field goals. In his first game for Cornell, Pete converted three field goals, including a 49-yarder. W hile at Cornell, Pete connected on 54-of-55 extra points. He set a major college record by connecting on 44 consecutive PATs from 1961-63. He still holds the school record for consecutive conversions and career conversion percentage (.982). His 50-yard field goal against Lehigh in 1963 was the nation’s longest in a major college game at the time. He booted nine career field goals, including eight of 40 yards or more. Following his graduation from Cornell in 1964, Pete signed with the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League, bringing his unorthodox kicking style to the pro-

fessional level. He converted 47-of-75 field goals and 76of-77 extra points, helping the Bills to two AFL titles in 1964 and 1965. In 1965, he was named Spor ting News AFL All-League, and he was selected to the AFL All-Star Game. Pete became a prime factor in the merger of the AFL and the NFL when he was signed by the NFL’s New York Giants. In nine seasons with the Giants, he set league records for PATs in a game (eight), consecutive PATs made (133), field goals attempted (219) and field goals made (126). Pete also holds Giants’ franchise records for most PATs attempted (277) and PATs made (268). Other kickers began to adopt the new kicking style and by 1973, NFL kickers had increased their field goal percentage to 63.1 percent from 48.6 percent in 1963. Pete began working at RR Donnelly, a Manhattanbased financial pr inting firm, immediately after his retirement from the NFL, and he served more than 40 years as the vice president of sales. In 1984, he was selected to the Buffalo Bills Silver Anniversary Team. In 2010, the New York Giants announced that he would be included in the team’s new Ring of Honor in MetLife Stadium. He is also a member of the American Football Kicking Hall of Fame. ———

David Dudeck starred in baseball at the Hun School but he made it to Yankee Stadium last year as a member of the Boston College (BC) football team. Playing in the 2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl against Penn State, BC receiver Dudeck made some history at the legendary stadium, making a 21-yard touchdown reception in overtime as BC ended up falling 31-30 to the Nittany Lions in the December 27 contest. “I am not really an avid sports fan but one of the teams I support is the New York Yankees,” said Dudeck, who also enjoyed a superb career with the Hun football program, getting named as the New Jersey Prep Player of the Year in his senior season in 2011 when he caught 50 passes for 1,000 yards to help the Raiders go 7-1 and win the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title. “My favorite player was Derek Jeter, I loved the way that he carried himself. Playing football in the house that Jeter built was amazing. I was a good baseball player in high school and never dreamed I would be playing there. We were playing Penn State. There is a lot of history there, they had a lot

of support. The atmosphere was amazing. Scoring that TD was an experience I will never forget.” As he looks forward to his senior season at BC, Dudeck has enjoyed some unforgettable moments over his career, starting with his freshman year when he came in as a defensive back in 2012 not expecting to see any action that fall. “I was going to redshirt and then week three was a bye week and we had some injuries and other things going on and the coaches said we are going to switch you to offense,” said Dudeck. “It was a whirlwind, they had me practicing at running back and I had never played there before. I played against Clemson and I had two catches and things took off from there.” S eeing ac t ion in n ine games that fall, Dudeck made 21 receptions for 155 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 111 yards on 41 carries with a touchdown. “I ended up starting four games, my very first start was against Notre Dame,” recalled Dudeck, who made four catches for 40 yards in a 21-6 loss to Notre Dame. “It was ever ything I

wanted to do when I was younger. It was the goal I had set out to accomplish. I am playing against Notre Dame and Kirk Herbstreit and all the ESPN guys are out there at midfield. It was surreal. I was 18 years old, I was so young. My whole freshman year was getting my feet wet.” Although Steve Addazio replaced Frank Spaziani as head coach of the Eagles before Dudeck’s sophomore season, the 5’11, 194-pound receiver continued to progress. He appeared in all 13 games, making 11 catches for 84 yards and a touchdow n, r ushing for eight yards on five carries, returning nine kickoffs for 130 yards, and three punts for 25 yards. “It has been a great transition, his whole staff brings passion,” said Dudeck, reflecting on the new regime. “I was both running back and a receiver as a sophomore. I played running back on third down situations. It was a great experience to play beside Andre Williams (who rushed for a programrecord 2,102 yards that season on the way to earning All-American honors). On the receiving end, I played more in the slot.” T he team exper ienced more success in 2013, finishing at 7-6 after going 2-10 the previous season. “We ended up get ting back to a bowl game, that was one of our big goals,” said Dudeck. “We played Arizona in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl. It didn’t go as well as we would have wanted (a 4219 loss), it left a bad taste in our mouth. Last fall, Dudeck tasted more success, making 12 catches for 127 yards and recording five tackles on special teams as BC went 7-6. “I was all receiver, which was what it was like in high school,” said Dudeck, reflecting on the 2014 campaign. “I was also playing on special teams, playing wherever I could help the team.”

While some players view special teams duty as dirty work, Dudeck relishes his work on the return units. “I love playing special teams, it is a big part of the game,” asserted Dudeck. “It is a great way to get on the field and contribute. It goes back to high school, doing whatever I can to help the team, whether it is as a returner or going down the field covering kicks. That is what football is about.” Dudeck and his teammates saw playing in the Pinstripe Bowl last year as a great opportunity notwithstanding the result. “That didn’t end well with us losing in OT but it was an unreal experience,” said Dudeck. “When we learned that the Pinstripe Bowl was an option, that was the game we wanted to play in. We are a northeast school so we had a lot of fans there. Most of my family and friends are from New Jersey so that was great.” Gearing up for preseason camp, which started on August 9, Dudeck and his teammates spent most of the summer on the BC campus.

“We are in classes Monday through Friday and we are doing workouts,” said Dudeck. “It is nice to get the whole team up here. We are doing strength and conditioning and all the stuff with the football and passing routes. It is players only. We are getting better and better and getting the timing down so when camp starts we don’t have to worry about that. Everyone is really ready for camp and excited about the season.” As he gets ready for the 2015 season, Dudeck believes the Eagles are on the way up. “We want to come together and play as one,” said Dudeck. “I think we can have a really big year if we do that. The goal is to get to Charlotte and play in the ACC championship game.” I n d iv id ua l ly, D u de ck ’s goal this fall is to contribute wherever needed. “I want to be the best teammate I can be and the best leader I can be,” added Dudeck. “I am going into my final year and I want to help the team any way I can. I want

to help the team get to the ACC championship game.” Even if BC doesn’t get to the championship game, Dudeck is determined to savor his final college campaign. “We have played in some unreal venues, like Yankee Stadium, Clemson, Florida State,” said Dudeck. “It has been unreal, so much fun. As you get older, you cherish every game, you cherish every week. I am looking forward to the season and getting better every day. I think I have matured as an athlete. You go in and help the team, being on a team is the big point of the game.” Outside of the game, Dudeck has matured as a person and student over his four years at BC. “This is a really great institution; there are a lot of different things to do and I have met a lot of different people,” said Dudeck, a dual major in finance along with management and leadership. “It has definitely expanded my horizons. It has about 8,000 students, there is a nice feel to the school.” —Bill Alden

Victory Hoops League Ends 1st Season in Style As Maselli & Warren Wins Title Game at Buzzer It turned out to be a winwin scenario for the Victory Sports Pro-Am League as the Maselli & Warren Law Firm faced CertaPro Painters in the first-ever championship game of the new hoops league at the Hun School gym last Thursday evening. CertaPro trailed by 13 points in the fourth quarter before reeling off a 17-4 run to knot the game at 6464 with seconds remaining in regulation. But then Christian Burns banked in a three-pointer at the buzzer to give Masselli & Warren a dramatic 67-64 win before the appreciative crowd on hand. The level of play and competitiveness in the title game epitomized what the league was looking to provide for the local hoops scene. “It was a heckuva way to finish the season,” said former McCorristin High and Seton Hall standout Bryan Caver, the basketball director for Victory Sports. “It is a testament to those guys, the players made the league. We had a really

nice crowd, we had some first timers there. It was extremely exciting.” The league, which started in mid-June and featured triple-headers Tuesday and Thursday nights at Hun’s Shipley Pavilion, proved to be an instant hit. “It was extremely positive,” said Caver in assessing the inaugural campaign. “It opened eyes to players, not only the players who played but to those who heard about it. It was the competitive level that made it so exciting, you saw D-1 guys and guys who have been playing overseas.” While the league was a labor of love for Caver, a constant presence at Hun on game nights, he got plenty of help in the opening season. The league’s lineup of sponsors included Masselli & Warren, CertaPro, County Line Auto Body, The Conefry Family, Princeton Elite Management Group, T Rowe Price/The Taylor Family, A. J. Tonon Dedicated Logistics, and Dr. Palmer. Other contributors were Andrew

M. Kusnirik III, Hun Athletic Director Bill Quirk, the Pirate Booster Club, Kamryn Thompson, Shevone Johnson, and Troy Stevenson, the league’s referee assignor. “I have to give special thanks to all the sponsors, they were great,” asserted Caver. “The sponsors were excited about the response we got from the players and fans.” The positive response has led Caver to add a women’s league to the mix in 2016. “That is something we are going to do,” said Caver. “The girls would come to me and say what about us? We have some ladies playing in college now and some who have graduated who are now playing overseas. They want to have an outlet like this.” Caver vows that the men’s league will be bigger and better next summer. “We are going to grow,” said Caver. “The league is going to expand. I have heard from other teams that are interested in playing. We may want to move the early game back from 6 to 6:30 so people won’t have trouble getting there. We want to add an extra day.” —Bill Alden

Giving Departing Coach Sobolewski Special Send-off, PNRA/Mercer Rowers Dominate at Canadian Henley As the Princeton National Rowing Association’s Mercer Rowing Club ( PNR A / Mercer) girls rowers headed into the 133rd Royal Canadian Henley Regatta earlier this month, they brought some extra emotion across the border. It was the final compet it ion at PN R A / Mercer for Ted S obolewsk i, t he club’s manager of rowing programs and girls’ head coach, before he leaves to assume the role of associate head coach for men’s row i n g at N or t h e as te r n University, and his rowers were determined to give him a big send-off. “We wanted to perform well because this was our last regat ta w it h Coach Ted,” said co-captain Kate Hickey, a rising senior at Notre Dame High. The PNR A /Mercer girls ended up performing brilliantly at the regatta held at St. Catherines, Ontario, the premier summer competition for amateur rowers in North America, winning seven of the nine events they entered, surpassing last year’s club record haul of five gold medals. The club took gold in the following women’s events: the Under-23 Lightweight Women’s 8 ( Rena W hite, H icke y, K at h r y n M i l ler, S h e i l a Ke n n e d y - M o o r e ,

Jenna Kugel, Elise Gorberg, Anna Heckler, Eileen Hu, and coxswain Maddie Alden ) ; t he U23 Women’s Lightweight Pair ( Hickey and White); the U19 Women’s 8 (White, Hickey, Katherine Lustig, Celia Varga, Hayley Bork, Kelly Fischer, Sabrina Marki, Rachel Mumau, and coxswain Sydney Holgado); the U19 Women’s 4 (White, Hickey, Mumau, Bork, and coxswain Colleen Gillis); the U19 Women’s Pair — (Hickey and White); the U17 Women’s 8 (Sara Hansen, Varga, Lustig, Lauren Miller, Bridget Parker, Mia Barkenbush, Gwyneth Lavery, Isabel Roemer, and coxswain Caroline Galati); and the U17 Women’s 4 (Hansen, Varga, Lustig, K. Miller, and coxswain Galati). In the v iew of co - cap tain Caitlin Cleary, a rising Princeton High senior, Sobolewski is leaving a special legacy. “Coach Ted will be greatly missed by the entire program, but thanks to the environment of hard work he fostered, and the high expectations he instilled in us, PNRA/Mercer will continue to be a strong contender on the national level,” said cocaptain Caitlin Cleary. Hickey, for her part, credited Sobolewski with giving the PNR A /Mercer rowers

the confidence to excel at the international level. “Coach Ted first brought us to Canadian Henley in 2013, and we didn’t win any events that year,” said Hickey. “He believed in us, and we improved a lot because of his coaching and training plans. Now we love this regatta because we get so many opportunities to race great competitors. The PNR A /Mercer boys also enjoyed a memorable performance at the regatta as they won their first t wo Henley gold medals ever, prevailing in the U17 Men’s eight plus coxswain and U17 Men’s four plus coxswain. Justin Ochal, the boys’ head coach, was thrilled to see the breakthrough effort. “I’m really proud of the U17 guys,” said Ochal. “They got a taste of winning and what hard competition is all about. The whole program performed exceptionally well, and we saw good racing all week.” The U17 Men’s 8 included Daniel Stoddard, Andrew Hickey, Erik Wicks, Philip Collins, Jack G allagher, Andrew Moss, Brian Karp, Tyler Harris, and coxswain Katelyn Takacs while the U17 Men’s 4 was comprised of Stoddard, A .

FITTING FINALE: Ted Sobolewski, the manager of rowing programs and girls’ head coach for the Princeton National Rowing Association’s Mercer Rowing Club (PNRA/Mercer), addresses some of his rowers at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta earlier this month. It was the final competition at PNRA/ Mercer for Sobolewski before he leaves to assume the role of associate head coach for men’s rowing at Northeastern University and his rowers gave him a big send-off. The PNRA/Mercer girls won seven of the nine events they entered.

Obituaries Jean F. Byrne Jean F. Byrne, of Princeton, died peacefully on Aug ust 9, 2015, at t he University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro surrounded by family members. The cause was complications from Babesiosis (a tick-borne disease of the red blood cells), and her illness was brief. Jean was New Jersey’s first lady from 1974 to 1982. Jean was born in 1926 in Newark, New Jersey, and spent her childhood in West Orange, where she lived until 1974 when she moved to Princeton upon her former husband’s election as governor. She graduated from West Orange High School and earned a bachelor’s degree from Bucknell University where she majored in Spanish. As an undergraduate, she also won academic awards in English composition and literature. She subsequently earned a master’s degree in education from New York University. Like her mother, she was deeply committed to education. As a student teacher, she taught in public schools in Harlem and elsewhere in Manhattan. Jean then taught second grade in West Orange until required to retire when she became pregnant with her first child. She remained a lifelong proponent of quality education and civil rights. During her time as New Jersey’s first lady, in addition to raising her children and carrying out her official obligations, Mrs. Byrne was active in the Princeton public schools as a teacher’s assistant and coordinator of special programs. While Jean’s priority remained her family, she supported her husband’s policies in frequent public engagements and in an influential letter to the editor defending his record. She also appreciated the rarity of opportunities the role brought to her: to dance with Prince Philip, to attend operas with one of its greatest stars, Maria Jeritza, and to host Princess Grace and her family at Morven, the governor’s residence in Princeton at the time. But she was most grateful to come in contact with amazing people quietly working to address a variety of education, health, and other welfare needs of the state’s citizens. Mrs. Byrne remained a Pr inceton resident af ter her years in the governor’s mansion, but she retained throughout her life many friendships formed as early as kindergarten in West Orange. Jean was an avid br idge player, gardener, cook, music and opera lover, dog lover, traveler, reader, tennis player, and tennis fan. Jean was also a member of the Nassau Club, past member of the Orange Lawn Tennis Club, and active in the Presby terian Church of Lawrenceville. She remained active and independent throughout her life, and she will be remembered by all who knew her for her simple graciousness. Jean is predeceased is by her parents, George and Jane (née Crysler) Featherly; an older sister Anne Phin-

ney; and a daughter, Susan. She is survived by her son Brendan Thomas Byrne, Jr. and his wife Barbara Moakler Byrne; daughter Nancy Byrne Reinhart and her husband Peter; son Timothy J. Byrne and his companion Mercy Salaz; daughter Mary Anne Byrne; daughter Barbara Byrne Stefan and her husband Albert; son William K. Byrne, and their children and stepchildren Meaghan, Erin, Brendan, and Kelly; Matthew and Anna; Jack, Lukas, and Saiya; and Alexandra and Scarlett; as well as her beloved nieces and nephews and her extended family and close friends. A memorial service for Jean will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 18, at the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome contributions in Jean’s memory to the Trenton Area Soup K itchen, P.O. Box 872, Trenton, NJ 08605 or SAVE Animal Rescue, 900 Herrontown Road, Princeton, NJ 08540, or another worthwhile cause of which Jean knew there are many.

Elizabeth Bryant Miles Mrs. E li z ab et h Br yant Miles (Lid), 102, a resident of Princeton, died of natural causes on Friday August 14, 2015. She was a loving mother and wife, grandmother, drama teacher, and e nt h u s ias t i c com m u n it y leader. She lived with her family in Orinda, Calif., Old Greenwich, Conn., Houston Tex. and Princeton. Lid was born on May 7, 1913 in Kansas City, Mo. to Dr. Carl Herbert Bryant and Mary Tanner Shannon Bryant of Independence Mo. Her father was a member of the class of 1904 at Yale and, according to her, an author of the Whiffenpoof Song, which she sang and played on the piano her whole life, up to the day before her death. She grew up with her four younger brothers in Atascadero, Calif. and attended Mills College, where she majored in drama, performing many roles, often as the male lead, since she was tall relative to the other girls. Her memorable roles included Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, the lines of which she always remembered and recited often. After graduation from Mills she taught drama at Anna Head School (Now Head-Royce School) in Berkeley, Calif. and served as Miss San Louis Obispo County at the San Francisco Golden Gate International Exposition. In 1939 she met Thomas Kirk Miles (Kirk), a resident at her boarding house in Berkeley. He was a civil engineering graduate from Stanford University with a master’s degree from MIT and worked for Shell Development in Emeryville, California. They were married at the Stanford Memori-

al Church on May 13, 1939. They settled in Orinda, Calif. where they lived until 1962, with the exception of a few years in Washington D.C. during World War II. Their first son, Thomas Kirk Miles, Jr. was born on October 5, 1941 in Oakland. He died in an automobile accident in 1964 during his senior year at Pacific University, Oregon. His dedication to theater and acting led Pacific University to name the Tom Miles Theater in his memory. Their second son, Richard Bryant Miles, was born July 10, 1943 in Washington D.C. He is currently Robert Porter Patterson Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Emeritus at Princeton University. In 1962 Kirk was transferred to Shell’s head office in New York City, and they moved to Old Greenwich Conn., a short commute from the city, where, with the exception of five years in Houston Tex., they lived until 1995. That year they moved to Princeton next door to their son, Richard, and his family. Lid was always engaged in community affairs. She co-directed the comic review, Absurdia in Suburbia, and put on children’s performances of the Nutcracker Suite, Sleeping Beauty and other favorites to the delight of the Orinda community. Their friends included many Shell families. They gathered around her Steinway piano on many occasions, singing old favorites late into the night. Most of these families were also transferred to the east coast and remained close friends. In Old Greenwich she was active in the garden club of Old Greenwich, the First Congregational Church choir and the Mills Alumnae Association. Her Parties to Picnics cookbook presented one meal for each week of the year with recipes from Mills Alumnae and friends as a fund-raiser for the Mills College Club of New York. She and Kirk enjoyed tennis and sailing and their wonderful Lucas Point neighbors. They were members of the Riverside Yacht Club, and sailed their 35-foot sloop, Sea Otter, in Long Island Sound and “down East” to Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. In 1971 they sailed Sea Otter all the way to Houston, Texas when Shell moved its New York offices there, sailing back again in 1975 after Kirk retired. They moved to Princeton after their home in Old Greenwich was flooded by a nor’easter. In Princeton, Lid participated in the Let’s Talk group at the Senior Resource Center, making many new friends there. Every evening she played the piano after dinner and before climbing the stairs to bed. She had a piano piece for each of the beloved men in her life, always ending with Good Night Sweetheart for Kirk. She is sur vived by her son, Richard Miles; his wife, Dr. Susan McCoy Miles, of Princeton; and her grandchildren, Thomas Nelson Miles of Princeton and Julia Elizabeth Miles of Fredericksburg, Va. Services will he held at the First Congregational Church in Old Greenwich Connecticut on Saturday, August 22 at 3 p.m. Donations may be made in her memory to the Tom

Miles Endowment for the Performing Arts at Pacific University, 2043 College Way, Forest Grove, Oregon 97116, to Mills College, 5000 MacArthur Blvd. Oakland, California, 94613, or to the Princeton Senior Resource Center, 45 Stockton Street, Princeton NJ 08540.

Timothy M. Hosea Timothy Michael Hosea, MD, orthopaedic surgeon, and Rutgers University Football team physician of Princeton, passed away suddenly at the age of 62 on Saturday, August 8, 2015. Born in Grosse Pointe, Mich, to Elizabeth R. Hosea and the late Thomas J. Hosea, Tim is survived by his wife of 40 years, Elizabeth (Libet) Murray Hosea, and three daughters, Hadley Elizabeth Hosea, Mary Whitney Hosea, and Katherine Kirby Hosea. Tim is also survived by three brothers, David (Valerie) of Palm Coast, Fla.; Mark (Sharon) of Orchard Lake, Mich.; and Paul (Crisi) of Laguna Beach, Calif.; along with numerous nieces, nephews, and a wide and wonderful circle of friends. A longtime resident of Princeton, Tim attended Harvard University where he was a member of the Harvard crew team, training under legendary Harvard coach Harry Parker and competed in the boat that won the Ladies Challenge Cup at Henley-on-Thames in 1973. Twenty-five years later as an avid master’s oarsman, Tim won gold in an epic race against a Russian eight at the Nike World Masters Championships. Following his graduation from Harvard, Tim enrolled in medical school at the University Of Cincinnati College Of Medicine. Tim returned to Boston completing his internship at Peter Brent Brigham Hospital, his residency at the Harvard Combined Orthopedic Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and a fellowship in sports medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Tim and Libet moved to Princeton in 1985 where he began his orthopaedic practice with University Orthopaedic Associates, specializing in sports medicine. Tim had affiliations with five hospitals: the University Center for Ambulatory Surgery, Center for Ambulatory Resources, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Saint Peter’s University Hospital, and The Medical Center at Princeton. Tim’s affinity for sports shone through in his professional life, serving as the team physician for the USRowing national team at 12 world rowing championships and multiple Olympic Games over the past two decades. He was also the U.S. Olympic team physi-

cian for the Rowing, Canoe/ Kayak, and Cycling teams at the XXVIIth Olympiad in Sydney, Australia and the U.S. Olympic team physician for the Rowing and Athletic teams at the XXX Olympiad in London, England. In addition, Tim was the orthopaedic consultant and team physician for Rutgers University, where he traveled with the football team for 30 years. Tim was the president of the Princeton National Rowing Association, authored numerous articles and presentations on sports medicine, and was a member of several orthopaedic and sports medicine societies, including the Herodicus Society and the Thomas B. Quigley Society. He was a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, a chair of the Sports Medicine Commission, a member of the United States Rowing Association, and a Clinical Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at UMDNJ — Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Tim also enjoyed work as a committed board member for various organizations, including a trustee of the Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. A dedicated sportsman, Tim had a love of the outdoors and was a golf, rowing, skeet shooting, hunting, and fly fishing enthusiast. Tim’s passion extended beyond his own enjoyment, as he took enormous pleasure in sharing his knowledge by teaching, as well as learning from others. He exemplified the finest qualities of a sportsman — cherishing the community and camaraderie of sport, but also giving of himself so that others could enjoy the rewards of sport. He tirelessly offered himself, his time, his connections, and his expertise for the benefit of everyone he met. Tim will be remembered for enriching the lives of others and his warm dimpled smile, contagious laugh, self-effacing nature and witty sense of humor. Tim was a member of the Pine Valley Golf Club, the Bedens Brook Club, the United States Seniors Golf Association, as well as the Philadelphia Gun Club, Nassau Gun Club, and the Blooming Grove Hunting and Fishing Club where he served on the Board of Directors. Per Tim’s wishes, there will be a private family service. Tim asked that those lives he touched spend time doing what he loved: golfing, shooting, fishing, rowing and being with family. In lieu of flowers, the Hosea family graciously welcomes contributions to the Timothy M. Hosea Memorial Fund at the Princeton National Rowing Association. Donations may be sent to: Princeton National Rowing Association, Timothy M. Hosea Memorial Fund, 1 South Post Road, Princeton Junction, NJ 08550 or visit www. rowpnra.org/polDonate.cfm. ———

Kees Bol Kees Bol passed away Saturday, August 8, 2015 at his residence in Montgomery Township, New Jersey. Kees was predeceased by his wife of 65 years, Markee, who passed in 2013. He is survived by two brothers, Joor and Morris Bol; four children, Peter (Satomi) Bol, Stacy (John) Stahl, Christina Bol, and Faith (Harlan) Fish; and his four grandchildren, Christopher Bol, Rebecca Stahl, Alison Stahl, and Daniel Fish. Kees was born on June 16, 1925 and was the oldest of the six sons of Cornelis and Josina Bol. In 1936 the Bol family emigrated from Eindhoven, the Netherlands, where Kees’ father was a leading research scientist at Philips, to Palo Alto, California, where his father continued his scientific work at Stanford University. Kees looked back to his childhood in Eindhoven as a mixture of the idyllic, a life at home romping with his brothers in the family gardens, and the less-than-pleasant expe-

rience of enduring a strict and stultifying elementary school. Family life in California was built around his father’s entrepreneurship, ranching and farming, riding horses, and education in a system that he found more open and creative. Kees studied physics at Stanford, graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1945, and he earned his PhD from Stanford in 1951 at the age of 26. From the time he was in college Kees was a political activist. He was committed to social justice and equality; it was as a counselor and riding instructor at Frank and Josephine Duveneck’s Hidden Villa camp, one of the earliest interracial summer camps, that he fell in love with fellow counselor Markee. Together they joined the Society of Friends, in no small part because of the Quaker commitment to racial equality and pacifism. Eventually Kees also joined the Fellowship of Reconciliation and would serve as Clerk of the Princeton Friends Meeting. In 1949 Kees moved east to take a position with the Sperry Gyroscope Company on Long Island. However, his previous summer job at Hidden Villa interracial camp was seen by the FBI as a sign of communist leanings, and his security clearance was revoked in 1954. Sperry had no choice but to terminate Kees’ employment. Kees then took a job teaching physics at Adelphi College. In 1957 he succeeded in gaining a grant from the National Science Foundation for an experimental study at the Gordon McKay Lab in

Cambridge, Massachusetts. Two years later Kees was recruited to work on Project Matterhorn at what was later to become the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. Former colleagues remembered his quiet professionalism and his role as a mentor in a career that spanned the beginning of the controlled fusion program at PPPL through the 1980s. His kindness and thoughtfulness made early graduate students that he mentored feel welcome and part of the team. Kees retired from PPPL in 1987, after which he and Markee spent as much time as possible traveling around the world. Summers were spent at their cabin on beloved Lake Willoughby in Westmore, Vermont. Kees enjoyed hiking, and was active in creating and maintaining hiking trails in Vermont and later at Stonebridge. Kees was a skilled craftsman and woodworker. After having a house designed and constructed for them in Skillman, New Jersey, he finished the interior and built all the furniture. He and Markee moved to Stonebridge in 2004, where he continued to enjoy reading, gardening, hiking, and woodworking. He was active in the workshop at Stonebridge, building assorted items for the Stonebridge community and his children and grandchildren. Kees will long be remembered for his intellect, patience, kindness, sense of humor, and his natural ability to teach. He was adept at gently turning errors into opportunities for learning. Kees cherished the close friendships he made later in life.

There will be a memorial service for Kees Bol at Stonebridge at Montgomery in Skillman, New Jersey on August 29, 2015 at 2 p.m. ———

Dr. Leddy was a renowned orthopaedic surgeon, devoted to the care of his patients and the training of his residents in orthopaedic surgery at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The dedication to his profession is evidenced by countless original publications and contributions to medical textbooks and surgical reference literature like Green’s Operative Hand Surgery.

Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, a member of the AOA Honor society, former president and member of the New York Society for Surgery of the Hand, the Irish American Orthopedic Society, the Stinchfield Orthopaedic Club, and a founding member of the Joseph Boyes Hand Surgery Club.

and St Christopher’s Church in Hobe Sound, Fla. Dr. Leddy was a man dedicated to his profession and community, but most of all, a husband, father, and grandfather who’s legacy of caring and integrity will live on for generations to come. He spent his entire life with a loving generosity that would be difficult to duplicate. Surviving are his wife of 49 years and best friend, Mary Jo Leddy; his sons, Timothy and wife Georgiana; Terence and wife Megan; Christopher; and Robert. Dr. Leddy has two brothers Mark and Brian; and his grandchildren, J.P., Grace, Topher, and Willy. Dr. Leddy is predeceased by his son, Joseph P. Leddy, Jr. on March 2, 1984.

MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE!!!

Can you believe that here in Princeton, close to schools and town is a house on over 5 acres with a sweet 2 stall barn?!? You can keep your beloved horse right on your own property! And, if you don’t have a horse, no worries — use the barn for storage, or simply enjoy the pastoral scene. You can’t even see the barn from the house! Set back from the street, and having the utmost privacy, this five bedroom colonial has glowing oak floors, and over-sized windows opening to a stunning wooded lot. The chef’s kitchen, recently remodeled, has lovely tile floor, which looks like natural slate with coppery overtones, carefully selected granite counters, and plenty of storage. Top of the line appliances are a pleasure to use. Above the stove, sophisticated subway tile wall and medallion provide a truly custom touch. Opening to the breakfast room, with a glass ceiling, it creates a huge kitchen that’s pleasant to work in, and makes it congenial to chat with your family and friends while you cook. The spacious family room is open to both the kitchen and breakfast room, and has many windows which visually connect the lovely lot with the interior spaces, as well as a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, skylights and a volume ceiling. Easy access to the deck is another positive feature because you will want to cook out, or simply enjoy the privacy of this superb setting. There is also a study on the first floor. But wait, there’s more! There is a first floor bedroom and full bath. Upstairs, the main bedroom, ensuite, of course, has ample walk-in closet space, a jetted tub, and custom shower. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor. Views from every window, no matter what room you are in, and no matter which floor, are a real “plus”. This is one very special property! $995,000

THE SURPRISING THINGS YOUR MOVERS WON’T MOVE Angela Colley writes that, let’s face it: Moving companies can be lifesavers. They’ll carry everything you own, they can handle three flights of stairs, they don’t flinch at bad weather, and they’ll move you any distance. Hey, is there anything they won’t do? Well, yes, actually. Movers draw the line on certain things, and if you don’t know about it ahead of time you might end up out of luck on moving day. So here’s a handy no-go list: • • • • •

Hazardous materials Household plants Food and pantry items Outdoor equipment Rickety or scary stairs
