This past Monday, Princeton Council passed a resolution “officially commemorating Juneteenth of Each Year as an Annual Celebration of Black Emancipation.” The unanimous vote by the governing body couldn’t have been more timely. In Princeton and its environs, events recognizing the June 19 commemoration of the ending of slavery in America are in the final planning stages. Options throughout the weekend include a block party, a screening, a bike ride, a Shabbat service, and a three-day, city-wide celebration in Trenton. Juneteenth marks the date in 1865 when Union soldiers landed in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended, and the enslaved were free. According to the Smithsonian website, “On ‘Freedom’s Eve,’ or the eve of January 1, 1863, the first Watch Night services took place. On that night, enslaved and free African Americans gathered in churches and private homes all across the country awaiting news that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect. “At the stroke of midnight, prayers were answered as all enslaved people in Confederate States were declared legally free. Union soldiers, many of whom were Black, marched onto plantations and across cities in the south reading small copies of the Emancipation Proclamation spreading the news of freedom in Confederate States. Only through the Thirteenth Amendment did emancipation end slavery throughout the United States. “But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as ‘Juneteenth,’ by the newly freed people in Texas.” Local commemorations begin on Friday, June 18 at 8 p.m. with a special Shabbat service at Temple Beth Chaim, Continued on Page 8

Cicadas Peak Before Disappearing Until 2038 The millions of cicadas that have emerged in Princeton over the past few weeks have filled the trees, covered sidewalks and yards, and steadily increased the volume of their chant. With few still emerging from the ground, however, their visit, the first in 17 years, will soon come to an end as the remaining adults die off and the larvae return to earth to begin the next cycle. Commonly viewed as noise pollution, creators of a rancid odor, a threat to young trees, a mess of broken wings and exoskeletons, or a flying menace, the Brood X Magicicada is nothing short of a miraculous gift in some people’s estimation. The emergence of the cicadas over the past month was described by Princeton High School (PHS) junior Mulin Huan as “an absolute wonder and the stunning result of natural choice.” A member of PHS science teacher Mark Eastburn’s cicada research team, Huan, who is co-leader of the school’s Insect-Eating Club, sees the cicadas as an ecological blessing, a badge of honor for Princeton, an unparalleled opportunity for research, and a nutritious, tasty treat for animals and humans. “These cicadas invested all of their evolutionary points to increase their numbers to ensure the survival of their kind,” said Huan. “I am absolutely floored by the
emergence of so many cicadas.” Huan noted that in his former home in Beijing, the cicadas came out in large numbers and loud volume every summer, “but that is nothing compared to the huge emergence in Princeton in 2021.” Marveling that these insects are almost as old as he is, Huan pointed out, “With their emergence, they are bringing previously inaccessible nutrients from deep underground to the surface of the earth, which is great for the ecosystem all around.
They feed animals and after they die, their bodies fertilize the ground.” Whichever side you’re on, by July 1 this controversy is likely to go underground with the cicadas until their next emergence in 2038. “We’re probably right around the peak right now,” said Eastburn on Monday, June 14. “I’m not seeing many more emerging, and the adults live only about three weeks after emerging, so by the beginning of July, the newborns will have hatched and burrowed and they’ll be gone.” Continued on Page 9
Middle School to Receive New Name, As Board Wraps Up 10-Month Process The Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) was expected to choose a permanent name for the middle school at its June 15 Board meeting, which took place last night after press time. The 10-month name-choosing process involved extensive research and discussions by students, community forums, and polls of middle school students, staff, and community members. A petition to change the name from John Witherspoon, a slave owner and opponent of abolition, was presented to the BOE last August, at which time the name Princeton Unified Middle School
was selected as a temporary name. The leading choice for the school’s new name was Princeton Middle School, which was the most popular among students in student polls, and the second most popular for the middle school staff, which favored Princeton Community Middle School. Other names on the short list included Princeton United Middle School, the Princeton Middle School, and Walnut Lane Middle School. At the June 15 meeting the BOE was also expected to direct building Continued on Page 8

HIDDEN IN HOPEWELL: Gardens large and small, from a compact courtyard to an 11-acre farm, are open to the public on Saturday, June 26 as part of the “Hidden Gardens of Hopewell” tour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Stops on Hopewell Garden Tour Are In Borough and Beyond
By day, Pascal Poussart and Adam Maloof work at Princeton University, where she directs the Office of Undergraduate Research and he is a professor of geosciences. But on weekends,
they are busy trying to restore the health of Skinny Tree Far ms, t he for mer berry farm in Hopewell that they purchased nine years ago. The farm is one of eight sites on the June 26 “Hidden Gardens of Hopewell” self-guided tour. The focus is on gardens, in and outside of the town, that are unfamiliar to most area residents and gardening enthusiasts. From a small courtyard garden behind a townhouse to the 11-acre expanse being nurtured by Poussart and Maloof, there is a range of styles, sizes, and landscapes to discover.
up a little farm stand on Aunt Molly Road, at the bottom of their driveway. “We sell flowers, seedlings, and berries,” Poussart said. “It’s a way to share the bounty of the land.” Tickets for the tour, which is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., are $25 in advance, or $30 the day of the event. All proceeds go directly to the Hopewell Public Library. Par t icipant s get a map showing how to visit each garden. Purchase at the library, 13 East Broad Street, or through PayPal.

T he couple chose t he name “Skinny Tree Farms” for a reason. “It used to be an old berry farm in the seventies, and about 90 percent of the trees that are around the proper t y are ash,” said Poussart. “They are very young, and they are dying from the emerald ash borer. So we are moonlighting – we’re working on weekends trying to nurse them back to health.” Over the past few years, Poussart and Maloof have planted thousands of small tree seedlings and native shrubs. They have establ i s h e d s om e w i l d f lowe r meadows and orchards. “We have fig trees and some nut trees,” Poussart said. “We have flowerbeds around the property. Starting last year, we established a flower farm, which we call the ‘flarm’ for short.” It makes sense that the couple are so devoted to the land. “We both grew up surrounded by gardens,” Poussart said. “My mother was a gardener. My husband’s mother was as well. In fact, his parents moved to New Jersey a few years ago, but [previously] had been up in Maine. So every time they came to visit us, she’d dig up some of her plants and bring them down for us to plant. So now, when she comes, it’s like visiting old friends.” The cut flower garden has inspired the couple to put

Morven has announced its newly installed board of tr ustees. Ellen ( Liza ) Morehouse is the chair. Vice chairs are Julia Penick Garr y, Yvette Lanneaux, and Robert O’Neil. Rachel Herr is treasurer, and John Healey is secretary. Trustees are Ronica Bregenzer, Holly Pyne Connor, Mary Robinson Cohen, Brian Formento, J.

Our board is completely committed to broadening Morven’s reach and inviting diverse voices into this conversation. The silver lining we have seen from this past year is that our virtual programming has grown our audience and we intend to maintain a strong virtual presence to continually captivate them and invite new participants.”

Question of the Week:
“How has this year’s cicada invasion affected you?” (Photos by Weronica A. Plohn)
“I don’t have cicadas where I live, so I am not used to them as much. Today when I was riding on my motorcycle, a cicada hit me in my neck. It was painful and quite distracting, especially when you are on a motorcycle.” —Travis Martinez, Elizabeth
Ewelina: “I don’t have as many cicadas where I live, but I remember their invasion 17 years ago. I used to live in Hamilton and it was a really hard few weeks for me. I could not stand the constant noise they make.” Aldona: “I enjoy them! I like the way they look and the sound that they make. I find it very relaxing. I wish there were more cicadas in Lawrenceville.” —Ewelina Straczynski and Aldona Beyga, Lawrenceville
Andrea: “We just moved here, and I can say that Princeton cicadas make me feel like home.” Gabriel: “We are originally from Costa Rica, and we have similar insects there. We are used to the cicadas and the sound that they make, especially because in our country, they are back every year.” —Andrea Morales and Gabriel Calvo, Princeton
Reggie: “For someone who is not used to the cicadas, visiting Princeton can be a shocking experience. A cicada flew into me when I was paying for the parking meter, and I dropped my phone. I didn’t know what was going on. The constant noise is giving me a headache.” Mariah: “Princeton cicadas are very loud. I have never experienced anything like this before.” —Reggie Smith, Upper Darby, Pa., with Mariah Springer, Newfoundland, Pa.
David: “The cicadas don’t affect me in any way.” Andrea: “At first I thought it was a wonderful phenomenon, but after visiting town a few times, I am slightly annoyed with the cicadas. They get on you and are everywhere. I am over it!” —David and Andrea Lew, Lawrenceville

administrators to honor the individuals whose names were in consideration for the renaming by using their names for hallways and other public spaces in the middle school building. Among the names likely to be honored were educator and former enslaved person Betsey Stockton and contemporary community historian Shirley Satterfield, as well as Paul Robeson, Michelle Obama, Albert Einstein, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Also as part of the renaming, an exhibition in the middle school Learning Commons that shows the history of education in Princeton has been proposed, to be created with the assistance of Satterfield and the Historical Society of Princeton. It was also anticipated that the BOE would allocate funds to renovate a small wall in front of the school with the new name inscribed. The renaming effort became a significant educational project under the leadership of Jason Burr, the middle school principal. Ninth grade history students advocated for local and national figures as candidates for naming, and eighth grade civics students created short documentaries in support of candidates. Community forums celebrated the students’ work and considered the complicated legacy of John Witherspoon and the history of segregation in the Princeton schools and in the wider community. —Donald Gilpin

He added, “They’re not going to be with us much longer. I’d like people to appreciate them while they can. We’re not going to hear them again for 17 years.” Eastbur n and his high school student researchers have so far collected thousands of cicadas, which they have stored in a seven-cubic-foot freezer that’s about two-thirds full. They hope to fill it before the end of this emergence. “We’re collecting as many as we can and we’re going to do the DNA test,” Eastburn said. Because the opportunity for direct research comes only once every 17 years, a great deal is not known about cicadas, he noted. Eleventh grade PHS researcher Anna Schwartz is focusing on the cicadas’ songs and the kinds of trees that they prefer. “We have frozen many cicadas so next year, even though the cicada emergence will have ended, we’ll be able to continue the research. In the future we hope to conduct genetic analysis of the cicadas and to study microbiomes of the cicadas.” The research questions and possibilities are unlimited. “There is so much data that we have the opportunity to collect,” said Eastburn, pointing out that there were at least two and possibly three different species of cicadas present in Princeton. “The two species look similar, but they have very distinct songs,” he said. “Apparently they don’t inter-breed, but I’m not sure how closely related the species are. The
research hasn’t been conducted on that, but I have students who are eager to make that exploration now.” Eastburn noted the differences between the songs of the two different species. “One has a higher pitched kind of a whirring sound, and the other has a much raspier, hissing, rattling kind of sound,” he said. He and his students will be making a day-long recording in one of the student’s backyards this Friday, which is supposed to be a warm day favorable for cicada singing. “Originally the cicadas were calling kind of randomly, here and there,” he continued, “but now they’re synchronizing all their songs together so it sounds like continual waves, like waves crashing. It seems to start the day with random sounds then synchronizes as the day goes on. The males are competing with each other for females, and whoever has the loudest voice wins, but then at the same time they start to synchronize their sounds. Is that so they don’t drown each other out? Or do they have some other cooperative behavior that we never anticipated? It’s going to be exciting to see.” In seeking to promote the cicadas and help people appreciate them more, Eastburn and his students have held two cicada-eating events in the past few weeks, “as an opportunity to let people know about the environmental friendliness of these incredible animals and to promote the benefits of insect eating as well as the importance of preserving these cicadas so that they stick around in the long run,” said Huan.
Junior Matthew Livingston, co-leader of the PHS insect-eating club and host of the cicada-tasting events, embraced the “opportunity to make lots of different food to feed people so that they could be introduced to the idea of insect eating and then move on to eating more insects for both nutrition and sustainability reasons.” Livingston and his fellow club members made cicada cookies and brownies with ground up cicada powders, as well as whole cicadas roasted, deep -fried, stirfried, in a stew, in banana bread, in pumpkin bread, and covered with chocolate. The events attracted dozens of people and significant TV coverage, “which was a great way to inform the public about the benefits cicadas can bring, especially as a sustainable alternative protein source that pro vides tons of nutrition as it is packed with protein and some essential minerals as well,” said Livingston. Livingston administered a survey and discovered that people preferred their cicadas with strong masking flavors — chocolate-covered, deep-fried, stir-fried or in cookies or brownies. Huan added that people

definitely preferred not seeing the actual bug when eating it, and he went on to point out, “While it might seem conflicting that I said I’m trying to promote the preservation of these cicadas while eating them, we are only eating a tiny, tiny fraction of the overall cicada population. There are 1.5 million emerging every acre and we are only taking a few hundred.” Eastburn emphasized the success of the two cicadaeating events. “I was amazed to see how many students came out,” he said. “Many came and tried insects for the first time, including my wife who is not a fan of insects or insect eating even though we’ve been married for 20 years. We had many people holding and touching cicadas for the first time.” Another aspect of the cicadas investigated by the PHS research team is a particular fungus that Eastburn anticipates learning more about through future study. “We don’t have a lot of information on the process by which it infects the cicadas, gets into the abdomen, takes over the brain, and makes them try to mate with as many other cicadas as they can find. Becoming infected
with the fungus, they spread it to as many other cicadas as they can.” W hether they were infected with the fungus underground, whether they attract the fungus after they emerged from the ground, and whether the eggs are infected with the fungus are all questions that Eastburn and his team will be able to investigate more deeply with their frozen cicadas. “We still don’t exactly know how the cicadas are infected,” said PHS sophomore researcher Debolina Sen. “Only now do we really have the tools (genetic testing) to test whether this fungus resides within the cicada’s body for 17 years or if it infects as the nymphs climb to the surface through infected soil. This fungus grows and event ually is
capable of splitting their abdomens open, but these cicadas still carry on with their regular life and spread the spores of this fungus everywhere they go.” Eastburn urged local residents to “take the opportunity to appreciate something that’s really unique to Princeton. There are so many cicadas covering the community thanks to Princeton having a lot of old trees. The fact that Princeton has preserved its heritage and preserved its old trees means that cicadas have been able to continue living here. It’s a testament to Princeton’s heritage and environmental consciousness because we haven’t done anything to harm these cicadas or destroy their environment.” —Donald Gilpin

Despite only a limited number of races in contention, more than 4,000 Princeton voters went to the polls on Tuesday, June 8, to support their candidates for nomination to Princeton Council, state Senate, New Jersey General Assembly, governor, and more in the 2021 New Jersey primary election. In the contest for two seats on Princeton Council, Democrats Eve Niedergang, an incumbent running for her second three-year term, and Leighton Newlin, a longtime community leader, were running unopposed and will represent the Democrats on the November 2 ballot. No Republicans joined the primary race, and there will be no opposition for Niedergang and Newlin in the fall. In the primary vote for the New Jersey State seat for the 16th Legislative District, currently held by Christopher “Kip” Bateman who will step
down at the end of the year, Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker ran unopposed for the Democrats and will face off against former Republican Congressman Mike Pappas in the general election in November. Pappas handily defeated Jeffrey Grant, an engineer, with an unofficial tally of 6,837 votes (about 65 percent) to 3,726 (about 35 percent) for Grant. In the contest for two seats in the New Jersey General Assembly for the 16th District, which includes parts of Mercer, Hunterdon, Middlesex, and Somerset counties, Democrats chose incumbent Roy Freiman with 42 percent of the vote and new candidate Sadaf Jaffer with 44 percent, over Faris Zwirahn with 14 percent. Joseph A. Lukac, III and Vincent Panico, running unopposed in the Republican primary, will face the two Democratic nominees in the November general election for

the 16th District of the New Jersey General Assembly. In the primary election for New Jersey governor, incumbent Phil Murphy, seeking his second term, was unopposed and will represent the Democrats on the November 2 ballot. Facing Murphy in the general election will be former state Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, who prevailed over three Republican opponents, unofficially winning a total of 158,301 votes (almost 50 percent) to 83,067 for second-place finisher Philip Rizzo, 68,900 for Hirsh V. Singh, and 10,347 for Brian D. Levine. The November contest for Mercer County surrogate will pit Diane Gerofsky, who ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination, against Republican Douglas E. Miles, who defeated Richard J. LaRossa in the Republican primary. In the election for three positions on the Board of Mercer County Commissioners, Samuel Frisby, Kristin McLaughlin, and Terrance Stokes, who ran unopposed in the primary, will represent the Democrats on the November 2 ballot. They will be running against Richard M. Balgowan, Michael Chianese, and Andrew J. Kotula, Jr, three Republican candidates who won the most votes in a field of six in the June 8 primary. Unlike last year’s elections which were mostly by mail-in ballot, most of the votes this year were in-person. The elections will be official when certified by the Mercer County Clerk by June 22. —Donald Gilpin

Community to Weigh In on June 23 On Future of Cannabis in Princeton
The Princeton Cannabis Task Force (CTF) is inviting the public to weigh in, or just listen in, on June 23 at 6 p.m. on Zoom when the CTF will hold a public meeting about the future of cannabis in Princeton. T he meeting w ill pro vide an opportunity for the 23-member task force to present the recommendations it has developed up to this point and to hear from the public on all aspects of the issue of the local cannabis industry. CTF Chair and Councilwoman Eve Niedergang stated that the discussion at the meeting would be focused as much as possible on the immediate question of whether Princeton should opt in on licenses for a cannabis dispensary or delivery establishment in town. Niedergang added that the CTF has been working diligently to find answers to the questions they need to answer in order to prepare a recommendation for Princeton Council. Council, then the Planning Board, must deliberate and introduce an ordinance before the end of August, in time for Princeton to meet a state mandate. New Jersey voters passed a ballot issue to legalize recreational use of cannabis in last November’s general election. “Unfortunately we’re not able to make this meeting a month or six weeks from now,” said Niedergang. “We have a very tight schedule, and it’s critical to hear from the public.” The CTF will either recommend opting in on one or two of the six possible licenses, or they will decide that more time is needed to make an effective decision and that Princeton should opt out for now. The CTF would then continue its research in the coming months to consider opting in on any of six cannabis industry licenses (cultivation, manufacturing, wholesaling, distribution, retail, delivery) at a later date. As the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission continues to develop policies and regulations for the new industry, Princeton and other communities can choose to opt out now and then opt in at any later point or to opt in now for a lock-in period of five years.
Many of the issues to be considered do not have to be decided right now. If Princeton decides to allow any cannabis establishment, eventually decisions will have to be made about the income from that establishment and where it goes. T he C T F has recent ly been weighing the pros and cons of allowing a retail dispensary or delivery facility and looking at where in the town’s commercial district those establishments might be located, along with the hours of operation, and the advantages and disadvantages of an appointmentonly facility versus one that operates at regular business hours without appointments. The perennial issues of traffic and potential parking challenges are also part of the discussion. “There is also the issue of whether we impose any additional requirements on a potential licensee beyond what the state imposes,” Niedergang said. “All the state regulations aren’t yet set, but the state has certain criteria that they weigh in terms of licensing, social justice, and others. Princeton might want to add something to that.” Niedergang reminded locals that neither the CTF, which will make recommendations to Princeton Council, nor the Council itself is making the ultimate decision about whether cannabis will be in the Princeton community. According to New Jersey law, deliveries will be allowed everywhere. “If people are objecting because they don’t want cannabis in the community, that battle has already been fought and lost,” Niedergang said. The June 10 meeting of the CTF featured presentations on the effects of cannabis on the brain at various ages by CTF member and neuroscientist Abby Kalmbach and CTF member and Doctors for Cannabis Regulation founder David Nathan. The CTF June 23 meeting Zoom link, along with the full CTF meeting schedule, can be found on the CTF website at princetonnj.gov. —Donald Gilpin

Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation Makes Gift to Children’s Hospital
The Bristol Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital (BMSCH) at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH), a RWJBarnabas Health facility, has received a $ 2.5 m illion com m itment from the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation in honor of the hospital’s 20th anniversary of caring for the children of New Jersey. The gift will support a dedicated pediatric infusion center to provide a child-appropriate site for outpatient biologic drug treatments at BMSCH. Such treatments are becoming standard of care in gastroenterology, rheu matolog y, genet ic s, neurology, nephrology, and others specialties. “The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation’s unwavering support of our children’s health mission over the past 20 years is truly remarkable,” said Bill Arnold, president and CEO, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. “They continue to be our steadfast partner at BMSCH, and will again help transform our ability to deliver the latest, essential therapies to children in New Jersey and the region.” “The need for a pediatric infusion center will only expand over the coming years, and this generous gift will place us at the forefront in treatment modalities,” said William Faverzani, vice president and chief administrative officer, Bristol Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. “We are so grateful that the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation continues to support our mission to improve children’s health as we enter our third decade, as they have for the past 20 years.” The addition of a pediatric infusion center will provide family-centered care to children requiring short- or longterm infusion therapy, therapeutic injections, sedation, or provocative stimulation testing. Infusion therapy will be administered to infants, children, and adolescents who require either one-time or ongoing IV therapy for a variety of acute and chronic illnesses including gastrointestinal, rheumatologic, immune, genetic, neurologic, renal, endocrine, and blood disorders. With a dedicated center in close proximity to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, patients receiving infusions will have care with the convenience of an outpatient setting. “The RWJ University Hospital Foundation’s 20-year partnership with the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation has allowed our facility to provide life-changing services to pediatric patients throughout the region,” said Mary Burke, vice president, RWJ Universit y Hospital Foundation. “We look forward to continuing to work together on improving the experience and providing spaces for our pediatric patients to heal.” To learn more about the comprehensive care provided at The Bristol Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital at RWJUH, visit rwjbh.org/ bmsch.

At a meeting Monday evening, Princeton Council voted in favor of two ordinances adopting a redevelopment plan for properties in the area of Princeton Shopping Center. One is located on North Harrison Street, and the other at North Harrison Street and Terhune Road. The developer AvalonBay is under contract with the shopping center’s owners to build housing on the south end of the site, currently a parking lot that borders the neighborhood at Clearview Avenue. The multi-family project allows for up to 200 units, 40 of which must be af fordable housing. T he other site, at the north end, calls for a limit of 130 dwelling units, with a minimum of 20 percent affordable. The two properties are part of the 42.2-acre site that Council designated as an area of redevelopment in late April. Both were referred to the town’s Planning Board. “The Planning Board felt very strongly that this proposal was in accordance w it h t h e M a s te r Pla n,” Princeton Planning Direc-
tor Michael LaPlace said of the site at Harrison Street and Terhune Road, adding that it encourages green building and sustainable development. T he ot her site “was also well received by the Planning Board,” he said. “They were particularly excited that it is not only a component of Princeton’s Fair Share Housing Plan, but that it gives us an opportunity to look at the shopping center almost 70 years after it was built. We can keep what we like about it, but at the same time, breathe new life into it.” Earlier in the meeting, Council President Leticia Fraga, who is a member of the Permit Parking Task Force, said that in response to concerns from the public about the recently discussed proposal for changes in parking regulations, some tweaks are being made. Additional public meetings are being planned, including one that will include residents of all of the neighborhoods (the Tree Streets, WitherspoonJackson, the Princeton High School neighborhood, and the Western Section) where

parking changes are being considered. “We did that at the beginning [of the process] and want to do it again,” she said. “It would be very beneficial to have residents from the different neighborhoods hear each other as to what the challenges are. One of our goals is to have equity in parking in our different neighborhoods. Right now, it’s not an equitable system.” Councilwoman Mia Sacks reported that work is underway to come up with a replacement for the freeB bus, which provided free transportation throughout the town but was discontinued. In the meantime, a short-term solution is being developed. “I just want to reassure those who have relied on the freeB that we will be working to replace something in the short term. So stay tuned,” she said. Councilman David Cohen said a request for proposal has been put together for a consultant to study the feasibility of a stormwater utility. Cohen also said that a stormwater redevelopment

ordinance is nearly finished and should be introduced before Council by the end of the month. Regarding public concerns about Princeton University’s efforts to move a former eating club on Prospect Avenue and demolish three Victorian homes, to make way for a new engineering complex — a proposal that the Princeton Historic Preservation Commission recently recommended that the Planning Board turn down — Cohen said he wanted to make it clear to the public that Council cannot weigh in on the issue. “It is the Planning Board, and they are having a meeting on Thursday [June 17], so if you’re interested in sharing your feelings about the application, that’s where you need to show up and voice your concerns,” he said. Visit Princetonnj.gov for the link. Council voted unanimously to pass a resolution commemorating Juneteenth of each year as an annual celebration of Black emancipation. Councilwoman Dwaine Williamson commented that it was important to not just recog nize t he date, but comprehend what it represents. “We have to really understand why recognizing holidays like this are important not just for the African American community, but for all Americans as a whole,” he said. Fraga commended members of the Civil Rights Commission for taking their time in developing the resolution, “and actually putting stronger language on it rather than saying we just observe it.” — Anne Levin

Mailbox Alternatives Can Satisfy PU’s Desire for Larger Facility for Science, Engineering
To the Editor: As a Princeton University Engineering School alumnus, I have carefully considered the pros and cons of moving the former Court Club across Prospect Avenue, turning it sideways, and tearing down three functional and historic Victorian houses. My conclusion is that there are perfectly good alternatives that will satisfy the University’s understandable desire for a larger and more up-to-date physical facility for science and engineering. For example, the majestic Court Club building can be kept just where it is, as a part of the historic architectural row of eating clubs on Prospect Avenue. Its interior can be renovated for offices and meeting spaces with new construction out the back. This is exactly what the University did with an excellent result on Washington Road, when it retained the beautiful former Frick Chemistry Building. It is now the entrance to the Louis Simpson International Building. The municipality’s planning staff opposes the current plan. Last week the Town’s Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend against it. On a personal note, I graduated in 1963 while the Court Club still functioned as an eating club. I had friends in the Club. I can only imagine their horror when returning for Princeton Reunions, trying to find their old club, and seeing that it had been orphaned and set apart from the other clubs. I also resent that my Annual Giving dollars might be used in such an unnecessary and community insensitive manner. If you agree, please: a) sign the petition opposing the current University plan at change.org/saveprospect. At this writing over 800 of your neighbors have signed it. b) Attend the Planning Board meeting this Thursday, June 17, at 7:30 pm, and ask to speak during the public comments period.

Prospect/Fitzrandolph/Murray Place Neighborhood Should Stay as It Is
To the Editor: On June 17 the Planning Board will meet to vote on the University’s proposal to relocate 91 Prospect Avenue. Before that vote I hope members of the board would spend time exploring the Prospect/Fitzrandolph/Murray Place neighborhood. Because it is a neighborhood, a community of families who live here, day and night, all year round. And we who live here want it to stay as it is, a thriving corner of greater Princeton township. I hope the board will see the neighborhood as worth preserving, old Victorian houses and all. MARIANNE C. GREY Murray Place
University’s Proposed Prospect Avenue Entrance is Detrimental to Public Interest
To the Editor: We write with great concern about the University’s plans that will denigrate the Princeton Historic District and Prospect Avenue — a major public street — and we seek the help of the mayor and town Council in preventing this. The University’s proposed new Prospect Avenue entrance to its ES+SEAS development is detrimental to the public interest, and, as the Historic Preservation Commission unanimously recommends, the Planning Board should deny the University’s variance request. We admire the University, but until its public presentation on May 27, the potential damage of its Prospect plan — just a 3 percent portion of the enormous 666,000 sf development – was generally unknown. The entrance violates National Park Service Guidelines by: 1) unnecessarily dislocating the former Court Club at 91 Prospect from Eating Club Row, out of the Princeton Historic District and off the National Register, to an isolated site across the street; 2) demolishing three perfectly viable and historically significant Victorian houses identified for preservation by the HPC and the Master Plan, and 3) erecting at 91 Prospect a new building and landscaping that will be incompatible with the historic streetscape. In its report on a proposed municipal Prospect Avenue Historic District, named the Club Row Historic District in the Master Plan, HPC cited the houses as “part of the District’s visual and institutional history.” Notable scholars have lived in them, including Erwin Panofsky, “the most important art historian of the 20th Century,” and a “good companion” to fellow-refugee Albert Einstein. Indeed, the full history of the houses is yet to be discovered. The groundswell in opposition to the threat to Prospect Avenue has been remarkable. A community petition at change.org/saveprospect has garnered over 800 signatures and counting. News articles, letters, and posts have documented widespread support for preserving Prospect as a transition between institutional and residential life. Nearly 80 community members attended the HPC meeting, and the overwhelming majority spoke in support of saving Prospect’s history, environment, and streetscape. The University presented no compelling justification for moving Court Club and denigrating the Princeton Historic District. If implemented, the proposed entrance will establish a beachhead on Prospect for the future removal and demolition of other clubhouses and residential houses, and also set a precedent for the denigration of other historic districts. The development will waste the embodied carbon in existing buildings, contradicting the town and the University’s sustainability goals. It will also send a destructive message to students and the community that trampling Historic District preservation, Master Plan provisions, and sustainability is acceptable. Please advise the University to redesign its proposed Prospect Avenue entrance to respect the public interest by complying with National Register Guidelines for Historic Districts, provisions of the Princeton Community Master Plan, and sustainability goals, by keeping Court Club in place, and preserving the three Victorian houses for muchneeded mid-level housing.

Continuing to Place Burden of “Commercial” Parking on Two Neighborhoods is Inequitable
To the Editor: Recently, a polished but anonymous website has trumpeted opposition to a proposal for a pilot parking program developed by Princeton’s Parking Task Force. The website warns ominously about the introduction of “commercial parking” into Princeton’s neighborhoods. The fact of the matter is, though, that residential streets have always included parking derived from Princeton’s businesses. Employees and customers — many of them, of course, residents of more distant Princeton neighborhoods — park on streets designated as two- or three-hour zones (such as Green and Quarry in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, Pine and Chestnut in the Tree Street neighborhood, and Hodge and Boudinot in the Western Section). They also park on unregulated streets, such as Lytle, most of Spruce, Moran, and Maple. In the most affected neighborhoods (primarily the Witherspoon-Jackson and Tree Street areas), residents are frequently crowded out from parking on their own blocks. There are other residential areas where, despite proximity to the downtown business district, visitor parking is effectively banned. By allocating a limited number of spots for the use of downtown employees, the pilot proposal aims to lower the impact residents of some streets face from visitor parking. Including streets that currently bar visitor parking will help advance this goal. It’s important to keep in mind that businesses already pay a significant portion of taxes in Princeton and should share in public resources. No one owns the streets because we all do — residents and businesses alike. The task force seeks to distribute street parking more effectively in different areas of town while retaining the resource as a means of sustaining the vitality and convenience that benefits us all. The proposal also aims to simplify the current patchwork of regulations that govern different sections of town. For example, residents of the part of Witherspoon-Jackson that was formerly in the township currently have access to two 24-hour on-street permits. One block away — literally — in the part of the neighborhood that was in the borough, residents are subject to two-hour limits during the day and for overnight parking must resort to a lot with limited spaces off of McLean Street (for a fee). Applying such onerous restrictions to one set of residents while excluding others is inherently unfair. No parking system can resolve all issues for everyone. Perfect uniformity need not be the goal and is likely impossible. Areas where many homes lack off-street parking depend on the public resource of the streets in a way that neighborhoods featuring homes with bigger lots and setbacks do not. Student parking near the high school puts special burdens on residents of nearby homes. The task force continues to solicit suggestions and feedback on its pilot proposal and on ways to balance the needs of different stakeholders and neighborhoods in a fair and equitable manner. Continuing, however, to place the burden of “commercial” parking on two neighborhoods, while sparing all others, is definitively inequitable.

Downtown Parking Issue Requires Compromise to Benefit Entire Community
To the Editor: Years ago, my neighbors reached a compromise with Princeton Township for Smoyer Park, which can be noisy, but is an asset to the entire community. The recent downtown parking issue, like affordable housing and nearly every other item, requires compromise for the benefit of all. Princeton likes to think of itself as an enlightened community, but too often we have the same divisive self-interest that exists throughout this country. There is a benefit to living in close proximity to the downtown, just as my neighbors have experienced the benefits of living near Smoyer Park even though it is particularly noisy on weekends. Unfortunately, the typical response now is to acknowledge a problem, but rather than compromise for the benefit of the entire community, react as a NIMBY. PETER MADISON Snowden Lane

To the Editor: As I write this, over 800 people have joined the petition at change.org/saveprospect urging the town Council to uphold our zoning laws and maintain the integrity of the Historic District on Prospect Avenue. In the 11 years that I have lived around corner from Prospect’s threatened homes, I’ve watched the destruction of the 19 th -century canal houses on Alexander and the planned destruction of the last of the Gothic Revival portion of the Princeton Museum. In the Prospect area alone, I’ve seen the tearing down of the Victorians at Olden and Williams, and the demolition of the early 20 th -century house at Olden and Prospect. University representatives claim the Victorians they are planning to demolish lack a “context” and are in poor repair. If they lack a context, it’s because the University is systematically removing that context. They are in poor repair because the University is not maintaining them – seemingly engaged in a practice known as “demolition by neglect.” University representatives argue that the Prospect houses are not historic because they’re “not the work of a master” and weren’t homes to prominent people. While the latter is demonstrably false, history is larger than simply the study of so-called “masters” and elites. Indeed, many residents observe that the eating clubs are monuments to the privileged. If that is all they represent, then perhaps we should tear them all down. But these homes and buildings mean more than that to the community. For some of us, their age and rarity attracted us to this neighborhood; for others, they’re filled with memories (good and bad), but the community values them as they are. That is why the town created the current zoning. I propose that the University check its privilege and cease pressuring the community into suspending our laws. Rather than erasing history, I urge the University to consider this an opportunity for restorative justice. It could use a fraction of the $1.5 billion in interest it earned last year on its $26.6 billion endowment to restore the buildings in question, return them to residential use, and offer them as affordable housing. Better still, they could include them in a larger conversation on reparations to the descendants of Princeton’s formerly enslaved peoples. The precedent has been set by others, including the Theological Seminary. Princeton could take this opportunity to reconsider its history, address the grossest exploitations, and restore and strengthen the residential character of the street. The University controls much of the property on Prospect, Murray, and Fitzrandolph. For now, it’s still a community of predominantly turn-of-the-century homes. University representatives say we should trust them; that their current plan does not envision further destruction in this neighborhood. I am not convinced. The razing of these Prospect Victorians will set a dangerous precedent and embolden future architects, University Boards, and generations of new donors to continue to plan without regard to the zoning laws set by the citizens of Princeton. LOUIS HAMILTON Murray Place
or moved like the houses which used to line Nassau Street to its right and left. More recently, the buildings at the corner of University Place and Alexander Road fell to the wrecking ball to make space for the new Lewis Center, and the Osborn Field House at the corner of Olden and Prospect was demolished for the new Maeder Hall. Now the University seeks to demolish the three Queen Anne Victorians at 110, 114, and 116 Prospect in order to make way for the new ES+SEAS. As other town residents who spoke at the HPC meeting noted, this land accounts for 3 percent of a 15-acre project but has significant impact on this public (not University owned) street. The benefit to the greater community of the University’s project is difficult to see, while the detriment — more historic buildings destroyed and replaced by stretches of gravel and benches out of character with the broad lawns enclosed by stone walls and hedges that line the rest of the street — is obvious. In addition to the direct impact on the street, the number of Queen Anne Victorians in Princeton is small, and demolishing these three would make that number even smaller. University Architect Ron McCoy’s statement that the University’s 30-year campus plan contains no mention of any intention of the University to expand further in this direction is no doubt true, but says nothing about what the University has done in the past or will do in the future. For example, covenants in the property deeds for the “White City” houses on Fitzrandolph and Broadmead give the University the right to reclaim ownership with a three-year notice. Fifty or 75 years from now, “evolutionary development” may drive the University to reclaim and repurpose that land, as it is proposing to do today on Prospect Avenue. Planning Board members come and go, community concern waxes and wanes, but the University’s long-term vision marches onwards. I urge the Planning Board to reject the University’s request for a variance and preserve the streetscape of Prospect Avenue for the residents of the town. There is plenty of empty land on the other side of the lake; future expansion should happen there instead of at the expense of the community.

Sharing Concerns About New Technology Proposed by Permit Parking Task Force
To the Editor: In May of 2021 the Parking Task Force was prepared, after several years of work, to present their final plan to Council and the town’s residents. They faced, and still face, complicated problems and competing viewpoints. In my opinion, for all of their work, in the end they have gone astray in some respects. The lead sentence in the Town Topics article of May 12 [“Parking Task Force is Almost Ready to Present Plan,” page 1] was, “Thanks to new technology, the parking woes that plague different neighborhoods of Princeton could soon be eased.” That article made no mention of the costly changes the task force has in mind for PHS neighbors nor any details about the new technology being promoted to the town by Passport, the company that provides Princeton’s automated parking program, and their partner Genetec. First I’ll react briefly to the task force’s view that parking in front of our own houses is “a luxury” and that residents of the affected streets must pay for permits for themselves, guests, and contractors who have to park longer than the To the Editor: allotted three hours. If parking on our neighborhood streets One of the factors that the town of Princeton used to con- by employees from the Business District is considered necesvince the then College of New Jersey to move here in 1756 sary to help our town thrive, shouldn’t the cost be borne by was land, land for expansion. From its initial 4.5-acre lot 265 the businesses who will benefit, not just by those who live on years ago, the University has grown to about 600 acres today, half on this side of Lake Carnegie and half on the other. While most of this expansion has been on empty farmland, much has been at the expense of existing buildings as described in great detail in Gerald Breese’s 1986 book, Princeton University Land. For example, only the cost of moving or reconstructing the First Presbyterian Church saved it from being demolished

these affected streets? Parking by PHS students is a separate issue, beside the point of this letter. But to me the most worrisome aspect of this plan is the “new technology” that will enable these and the many other changes proposed. The technology enables ALPRs (Automate License Plate Readers), high-speed, computer-controlled camera systems, that would be mounted on cars that would roam our neighborhoods recording all license plate numbers. Significant concerns about this type of surveillance technology and its impact on data privacy and civil rights have been raised by the ACLU, The Brennan Center for Justice, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation among others. Passport has told Council that they can tailor algorithms for maintaining and sharing license plate data to Princeton’s specifications, but I doubt that could or would work just as the salespeople promise. How accountable or transparent will Passport be? I am thinking of personal and collective data rights but also of ICE and our town’s promises to protect the rights of all of our residents. Does Princeton wish to buy into this technology while its limits and potential dangers are under debate? The fact that other towns are buying into this technology doesn’t make me any happier about its coming to Princeton. PATRICIA GIBNEY Moore Street

Razing of Victorian Homes on Prospect Avenue Will Set a Dangerous Precedent
Offering Thanks, Praise to Those Who Worked to Implement Primary Election
To the Editor: Speaking to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee on Friday, June 11, Attorney General Merrick Garland affirmed voting rights as a “central pillar” to American democracy, stating, “We know that expanding the ability of all eligible citizens to vote is a central pillar…. That means ensuring that all eligible voters can cast a vote; that all lawful votes are counted; and that every voter has access to accurate information.” On Tuesday, June 8, I had the privilege and opportunity to participate in this pillar of democracy as a citizen poll worker for one of the voting districts in Princeton. As this was my first time serving in this role, it was extremely insightful to witness a slice of the voting process from the inside, beginning with attending a two-hour poll-worker training session a few weeks ago, to picking up the supplies and documents at the Municipal Clerk’s Office for my assigned voting district before dawn on Tuesday morning, assisting with voting procedures throughout the day through the closing process, and then returning the supplies and secured documents and provisional ballots to the Clerk’s Office late Tuesday evening. Woven through all of this is an intricate web of voting rights and ballot security laws and procedures with checks and balances, all to ensure that this “central pillar” of American democracy stands, right here in Princeton and throughout Mercer County and New Jersey. Furthermore, I would like to express gratitude and praise for all those individuals in the Mercer County Board of Elections office and their colleagues throughout New Jersey who worked together to implement our June 8 primary, as well as the numerous other citizen poll workers who stepped up to make this election possible. Especially praiseworthy was the master board worker (citizen board worker with over 10 years of poll worker experience) who patiently worked with me, as a first-time poll worker, along with those at other polling districts throughout the day. As a final note, if you are interested in serving as a poll worker for the General Election in November, you can sign up now at pollworker.nj.gov. Most of all, if you are eligible, be sure to register and VOTE. COLLENE MILDES Meadow Woods Lane, Lawrence

BOOK REVIEW
B
Sister Cities — Celebrating Bloomsday in Princeton
egin the day at a simple gravestone in the Princeton cemetery, sylvia beach 1887-1962 . From there it’s only a stone’s throw to Sylvia Beach Way, the lane that runs behind the Sands library building, one of Princeton’s most popular dropping-off, picking-up spots. Across town is Library Place, where Sylvia and her family lived before she moved to Paris and opened Shakespeare and Company in 1920; in her eponymous memoir, she wonders if the name of the street influenced her choice of a career in the book business. Her father Sylvester Beach (Princeton Class of 1876) was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, where, according to Sylvia’s friend Annis Stockton, the horses of Washington’s staff had once munched their oats in the pews, a tidbit the author of Ulysses would have appreciated. A Funny Little Publisher When James Joyce despaired of ever finding a place for Ulysses, which had been preemptively banned in the Englishspeaking countries, Sylvia Beach asked him if he would let Shakespeare and Company “have the honor” of bringing his book out. He accepted the offer “immediately and joyfully.” Describing the moment, Beach admits thinking it “rash of him to entrust his great Ulysses to such a funny little publisher.” As Joyce’s wish was to have the first copy off the press on his 40th birthday, February 2, 1922, she promised to make that happen. When the printer, who was located 300-plus kilometers from Paris, said that it couldn’t be done, she insisted otherwise. Came the day, she received a telegram telling her to meet the 7 a.m. express from Dijon, which she did, her heart “going like the locomotive” as the train “came slowly to a standstill and I saw the conductor getting off, holding a parcel and looking around for someone – me.” Soon she was ringing the doorbell at the Joyces’ and handing the author “Copy No. 1 of Ulysses.” Bloomsday It was falling in love that gave June 16 its talismanic importance for Joyce. —Richard Ellman, from James Joyce You could say that Bloomsday began on Nassau Street. Sylvia Beach must have been amused to learn that the main street of her hometown shared the name of the street Joyce was strolling down when he met Nora Barnacle, “a tall young woman, auburn-haired, walking with a proud stride,” according to Richard Ellman’s 1959 biography. After a failed first date, the two got together for good on
June 16, 1904, the day Joyce immortalized in Ulysses. The relationship lasted until his death in January 1941 (they were not legally married until 1931). Although Nora told Sylvia “she hadn’t read a page of ‘that book’ “ and “nothing would induce her to open it,” the publisher of Ulysses knew that it was “quite unnecessary” for the source of Joyce’s inspiration to read his magnum opus. Immersion W h e n I r e a d “ Va n Gogh : The Immersive Experience” in the New York Times last week, I was reminded of the National Library of Ireland’s Bloomsday Centenary Exhibition, where an immersive tribute to Ulysses was created in a new gallery space with a replica of the front of Shakespeare and Company at the entrance and “Copy No. 1” of Ulysses on display in the window. The 2004-2005 Bloomsday exhibition took visitors into the heart of the book and the domestic environment of the author through what the exhibit guide calls “a constantly evolving montage of sights and sounds related to” home life with Leopold and Molly Bloom at No. 7 Eccles Street. The articles on display ranged from Bloom’s bar of lemon soap to the wadded up papers littering the floor of a large-as-life version of the Joyces’ flat. The Princeton Link The sister cit y idea was inspired by the Arts Council of Princeton’s p l a n fo r a J u n e 16 Bloomsday Zoomsday event in which area authors “share their favorite passages” from Ulysses. With that in mind, I began reading around in my copy of the third Random House edition, with its prefatory material: lawyer Morris Ernst’s foreword; the text of the U.S. District Court’s “Monumental Decision” by Hon. John M. Woolsey lifting the ban on Ulysses; and Joyce’s April 2, 1932 letter to the publisher detailing his history with
censorship dating back to Dubliners and making special mention of Sylvia Beach, the “brave woman who risked what professional publishers did not wish to” — the brave woman buried in the cemetery across the street from the Arts Council. In the Room The closest I’ve ever felt to Joyce, the working, thinking, laughing, drinking writer, is in his Zurich friend Frank Budgen’s book James Joyce and the Making of Ulysses (Indiana Univ. Press 1960). As much as I’d like to do a Bloomsday “greatest hits”-style catalogue of favorite moments, like the one in which a Gypsy couple’s dog named Tatters steals the show in the learnedly “immersive” Proteus sequence, I’d rather eavesdrop on Budgen’s back and forth with Joyce. After asking Budgen if he saw the point of “that bit about the dog, the mummer among beasts, the Protean animal,” Joyce proceeds to read his account aloud. Budgen, a painter, sees it in painterly terms: “I don’t know a better word-picture of a dog ... English and Irish, we are all dog-lovers but when we write about dogs or paint them we sentimentalize them.” After Joyce admits not liking dogs (“I’m afraid of them”), he reads another passage from the Sandymount Strand musings of Stephen Dedalus. When Stephen thinks “I am almosting it,” Budgen catches the odd usage (“Almosting!”), leading Joyce to explain “the Protean character of the thing: Everything changes: land, water, dog, time of day. Parts of speech change too. Adverb becomes verb.” Reading aloud a sentence about the Gypsy woman who “trudges, schlepps, trains, drags, transcines her load.” Joyce says, “I like the crescendo of verbs ... the irresistible tug of the tides.” So it goes, Budgen paraphrasing a
portion of narrative, with Joyce responding. At the end of their conversation about the Proteus chapter, Budgen observes: “At times, in reading the long monologue, he had sunk his voice to a talking-to-himself murmur so that only precise articulation and a silent room allowed it to be audible. But inside this small scale of tones and with a minimum of emphasis he expressed all the moods of reverie, mockery, perception.” Budgen’s book, which was first published in 1934, is worth any number of critical/biographical assumptions and presumptions. He is in the room. Joyce likes him, respects his opinion, and, as Hugh Kenner points out in his introduction, Budgen “has no filing cards, he is not a specialist, he is simply the intelligent, curious, uncommitted man, that ideal reader for whom Joyce was writing.” Being There If you visit Dublin after your first taste of Ulysses, every day is Bloomsday. You hit the Martello Tower at the crack of dawn, then the residence at 7 Eccles Street, where Bloom begins the “gentle summer morning” of June 16 by fixing breakfast for Molly and serving it to her in bed. Then you can walk on Sandymount Strand or you can hike across Howth Head where Leopold and Molly made love. Around midnight when you head toward the Amiens Street Station on your way to the site of the wondrous, hilarious Nighttown fantasia, everything’s in a semi-intelligible mist and you can believe literature is a divinity brooding over the city you’re wandering in, just another character finding your way through the imagination of the man who wrote the book. Bloomsday 2021 ylvia Beach and her partner Adrienne Monnier presided over the first ever celebration of Bloomsday in 1929. A more elaborate event took place on the 50th anniversary, June 16, 1954, when a group of Dubliners led by novelist Flann O’Brien assumed the roles of characters in the novel and hired horse drawn cabs to take them along Bloom’s route through the city. Nothing quite so spectacular is likely in today’s free Arts Council event, set for between 5 and 6 p.m. (Artscouncilofprinceton.org), with Paul Muldoon, Joyce Carol Oates, Colum McCann, Jhumpa Lahiri, Esther Schor, Sean Wilentz, and friends. —Stuart Mitchner

Princeton Festival Continues Season With Double-Header of Baroque Music
P
rinceton Festival moved its season outdoors and in-person this past week with two concer ts by the Princeton Festival Baroque Orchestra. The first concert, last Tuesday night, was not as live as the audience might have liked — with thunderstorms throughout the area, the five members of the Festival Baroque Orchestra relocated themselves to the Stockton Education Center at the Morven Museum and Garden, while the audience listened via livestream. The second concert on Thursday night was held outdoors (with a livestream option), with the players inside the Education Center and an audience in pods on the lawn. The two concerts, subtitled “Sacred and Profane,” created a comprehensive survey of European music and forms of the 17th and 18th centuries. Tuesday night’s performance featured eight pieces divided into two groups — “sacred music in content” and “sacred music in context.” Violinists Chiara Fasani Stauffer and Manami Mizumoto (who also doubled on viola), cellist Morgan Little, and harpsichordist Caitlyn Koester were joined by Joshua Stauffer playing “plucked instruments,” which both nights featured the 17th-century theorbo. The four “sacred music in content” pieces were mostly from early 17th-century Italy. Three chamber works were played with quick and energetic spirit by the Festival Orchestra, with both violinists effectively conveying melodic material. A rarely-heard Trio Sonata in F Major by the under-rated but nonetheless influential German composer Johann Casper Kerll flowed well, as Stauffer and Mizumoto maintained a graceful violin conversation against steady continuo playing of the other three instruments. The four “sacred by context” pieces included excerpts from larger sacred works or pieces which referenced sacred themes. The most recognizable of these was the “Pifa” from George Frederic Handel’s Messiah. The Festival Orchestra played this music in a quick tempo, and in a more detached style than often heard in full performances of Messiah. Girolamo Frescobaldi’s Toccata nona in F, a work for solo harpsichord, featured Caitlyn Koester effectively executing lively sequences and ornaments playing on a two-manual instrument. The Festival Orchestra saved one of the most interesting pieces for last in Tuesday night’s concert. It was unusual enough to
find women composers in the 17th century, but Italian Isabella Leonarda was the first woman up to that time to publish instrumental sonatas. The Festival Orchestra’s performance of Leonarda’s Trio Sonata, Op. 16, No. 1 in E minor well demonstrated the composer’s enlightened education in counterpoint. The two violins frequently traded parts, with Stauffer showing particularly delicate playing when necessary. Cellist Little provided a solid underpinning to the sound, playing an extensive cello solo in the final movement. Thursday night’s performance featured more familiar composers, including 18th century powerhouses Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi. With the players behind open glass doors of the Stockton Education Center, the Festival Orchestra played the six works on the program with consistent attention to dynamic detail, maneuvering technical difficulties well. Morgan Little provided an elegant rendering of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suite No. 2 in D minor, and violinists Stauffer and Mizumoto tapered phrases especially gracefully in the unusual Sonata of Scots Tunes in D Major of Scottish composer James Oswald. The Festival Orchestra emphasized the dance qualities in the six movements of the Oswald work, in which traditional Scottish folk tunes were fused with Baroque musical forms and compositional effects. The four movements of Handel’s Trio Sonata in B-flat Major were played with the composer’s characteristic joyful spirit, with especially clean duets between violins and the lower instruments. Theorbo player Joshua Stauffer was featured in a Toccata in G minor by early 17th -century composer Alessandro Piccinini, demonstrating the instrument’s kinship to the lute and guitar. Stauffer took his time on slow arpeggios and played virtuosic passages cleanly, giving the audience a chance to really hear an instrument usually relegated to continuo accompaniment. he Princeton Festival Baroque Orchestra has been appearing on the Festival season for a number of years. Although the “pod capacity” on the lawn of Morven Garden was not as great as it would have been in an indoor venue, the audience Thursday night was nearly a full house, with more no doubt virtually enjoying the concerts of music with which you certainly can’t go wrong. —Nancy Plum

For the past eight years, piano teacher Ingrid Clarfield has held piano recitals that had a fundraising component. Titled Performathons, students not only practiced for their recital, they raised money to support child-related causes. This year’s event, on Saturday, June 26 at 1 p.m. at Princeton Meadows Church, 545 Meadow Road, will benefit the Children’s Fund at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). The fund provides essential resources allowing CHOP to act quickly to seize new opportunities and meet unexpected needs as they arise. The free concert will be performed on one of two concert grand Steinway & Sons pianos, made possible courtesy of Jacobs Music Company. The program includes Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2, Prokofiev’s Concerto No. 2, and works by Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Debussy, and Liszt. One of these pianos was personally selected by Yuja Wang at the Steinway & Sons factory for her performance at the McCarter Theatre. The other piano is Steinway’s brand new Spirio Reperformance piano that can record each of the performances in high definition. “Bob Rinaldi of Jacobs Music Company has provided both pianos for us to use in addition to being helpful in so many ways,”
said Clarfield. “To recognize his generosity, we selected CHOP as our beneficiary charity, because it has special meaning to him.” Another teacher involved is Todd Simmons, who is often Clarfield’s “left hand” in recitals, as 14 years ago when she had a stroke, she lost the use of her right hand. “Ingrid is the finest example of an excellent music teacher, one who, despite her own challenges, is totally dedicated to her students,” said Rinaldi. “In fact, when we created the Al C. Rinaldi Lifetime Achievement Award in honor of my father, Ingrid was the first, most deserving recipient.” In addition to Simmons, Clarfield invited additional piano teachers Jason Gallagher, Richard Woo, Chang Liu, Chiutze Lin, and Dr. Chiuling Lin to participate in the Performathon for CHOP so that their studios would have the use of these rare Steinways for their recitals at Princeton Meadow Church. The recitals will take place June 25-27. “My students perform in many recitals, but to me there’s another important lesson to learn in addition to skills at a piano. It’s using one’s talent to help others,” said Clarfield. “I can honestly say my students are very giving. They take great pleasure in reaching out to those who may not be able to attend musical concerts. Before the COVID pandemic, they would take their electronic keyboards and play at senior centers.” For more infor mation, visit chop.donordrive.com/ campaign/Performathonfor-CHOP or email performathonchop@gmail.com.

fe at ure s week ly clas s e s taught by A r t s Cou ncil ar tist-instr uctor Barbara DiLorenzo over Zoom, so participants can join live from home. Each week’s lesson features works from the Museum’s collections and is introduced by an art museum student tour guide. All classes, which include closed captions in both English and Spanish, are held on Thursday nights from June 17 through July 22, and begin at 8 p.m. “T hrough my years of teaching at the Arts Council of Princeton, I’ve seen how important creativity is to humans of all ages and abilities,” said DiLorenzo. “During the isolation of the pandemic, people from different parts of the world wrote to us to share that the Thursday evening free art classes were something of a lifeline in these challenging times. People spoke of their return to drawing after 30, 40, and even 50 years away. There were also many just starting out, but feeling more comfortable after hearing me talk about erasing and making mistakes constantly.” “I read stories of multiple generations gathering around the computer to draw together,” she continued. “I’m grateful to the Arts Council of Princeton and the Princeton University Art Museum for bringing art to a wider audience. My personal belief is that everyone is entitled to a creative life, and this program certainly helps to further that mission.” Learn more and register at artscouncilofprinceton.org. Each live-streamed class is available online weekly and participants can take part using materials they already have at home. June 17 — Water Reflections: Seascapes are a favorite subject for watercolorists. In contrast to solid structures above the water, reflections can be painted in a loose and playful manner, highlighting watercolor’s unique properties of spontaneity and luminescence.

“DOG”: Arts Council of Princeton is partnering with the Princeton University Art Museum to provide free, online artmaking experiences. “Art Making — Watercolors” features weekly classes taught by Arts Council artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo, whose work is shown here. All classes are held on Thursday nights from June 17 through July 22, and begin at 8 p.m. dark tones. However, many watercolorists are nervous about making their artwork too dark. This class will explore rendering a nightscape in watercolor, maximizing the value scale, and learning not to be afraid as we create beautiful, rich tones in the work. July 1 — Using Toned Paper and Gouache: To help push the range of values in their watercolor paintings, many artists use a combination of toned papers instead of pure white, with the assistance of gouache paint to bring back areas of the lightest tones. In this class participants will experiment with both, using John Singer Sargent’s painting Bridge of Sighs as an example. July 8 — Focus on Color Theory: Transitioning from grayscale to color can be a challenge for artists. This class will explore color theory, experimenting with combinations of colors that work well together due to the structure of color schemes. Ju ly 15 — How L ight Changes over Distance: For artists who love to paint landscapes, understanding how light changes over distance is important. In this class participants will look closely at Charles Herbert
Moore’s painting Water Mill, Simplon Village, painting a copy to learn from his choices regarding values, hues, and their saturations in the foreground, middle ground, and background. July 22 — The Power of Negative Space: In drawing and painting, a composition can be improved by considering the negative space. In this class participants will work on painting flowers, examining the difference between a solid clump of blossoms and a composition that allows for space between stems and leaves. Events are par t of the Museum’s Late Thursdays programming, made possible in part by Heather and Paul G. Haaga Jr., Class of 1970. Spanish-language live closed-captioning for this program is made possible by the Rapid Response Magic Project of the Princeton University Humanities Council. Continued on Page 20

ACP Artist Talks to Feature Photographer Robin Resch
Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) artist-in-residence, Princeton-based photographer Robin Resch, will give two free artist talks in Dohm Alley this summer on Taking Pause, a collaborative portrait project that asks people to reflect on what in their lives feels most essential. Resch will delve into the making of her project and how she was able to retrieve
midst of a global pandemic. On the afternoon of Thursday, June 24 from 12-1 p.m., attendees are invited to bring a bag lunch and join Resch in the alley for the first artist talk. On Thursday, July 8, she will speak from 5:306:30 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public. “Our lives are so diverse and we’ve all been impacted in similar and yet differing ways,” said Resch. “To some degree, it has been equalizing. In other ways it’s been polarizing. How has it impacted us? Have our values changed? Would we answer the question ‘what is irreplaceable to you?’ differently today than a year ago?” Her hope is to sow seeds for a conversation that may help heal in such a challenging time and that, as a collaborative project, Taking Pause may help rebuild trust by addressing our fears and fostering communication and reflection. The Anne Reeves Artist-inResidence Program, named after the ACP founding director, was established by the Arts Council in 2009 to offer artists the opportunity to conceptualize and create work while providing the community with creative interaction with working artists in all disciplines. The 20192020 Artist-in-Residence program kicked off with Marlon Davila’s mural Journey on the exterior wall of La Lupita Groceries, at the corner of John Street and Leigh Avenue, and continued with Ebony H. Flag’s The Future Me mural created for ACP’s Communiversity Room.

Handcrafted Furniture, Collectibles, and More Are All on Display at Cane Farm Furniture
H
istory is on display at Cane Farm Furniture. This longtime family business is located on 88 acres in a rustic setting at 99 Kingwood-Stockton Road, just off Route 519 in Rosemont.
IT’S NEW To Us
It is situated on the same property that was once the site of the Cane Poultr y Farm. Charles Cane established the very successful hatchery in 1927, and at one time 600,000 chicks and chickens inhabited the incubators and chicken coops located there. T h e f a m i l y, i n cl u d i n g Charles’ son Phil, lived in a stone farmhouse, dating to 1822, which is still standing. In 1965, the family business changed direction, when current owner Phil Cane opened a woodworking business, with an emphasis on early American reproduction and Shaker-style furniture. Phil had enjoyed woodworking as a boy, and it grew into a business that now includes his wife and office manager Carol, and sons Owen and Christopher. Cabinet Maker A number of buildings formerly needed for the farm operation are now rented to other businesses, focusing on antiques, leather,
handbags, design and embroidery, stone sculpture, and slipcovers, and window treatments, among others. The Rosemont Post Office also rents a building on the property. Owen Cane, in addition to his work as a cabinet maker, handles the rental side of these businesses. One of the buildings formerly utilized for incubating and breeding baby chicks has become the Cane Farm Furniture showroom, featuring a series of six rooms displaying not only furniture, but an extensive selection of collectibles, antiques, and accessories. A collector will definitely enjoy the fun print of a 1920s Coca-Cola ad, featuring a flapper wearing a cloche hat tailor-made to the times. Lamps, the favored blue and white dishes, vintage books, decorative pieces, framed paintings of all kinds, including World War I and World War II aircraft, unframed vintage military prints, authentic models of World War I bi-planes, and boats — all are on display. A one - of-a-kind wooden sailing ship, featuring exceptional workmanship and attention to detail, is a very special attraction. The showroom’s amazing collection offers a further glimpse into history with Civil War photographs. Late 1800s and early 1900s photos of school graduations are also on display, and are very popular today. A wonderful vintage ship’s clock offers
the inscription: “Royal Mail Line, SS Empress of India.” A genuine propeller from a pre-jet age airplane is a conversation piece, and a recent addition to the inventory is an extensive stamp collection. “I star ted collecting stamps when I was about 7 years old,” recalls Phil Cane. “I had an opportunity to bring in this collection with stamps from all over the world, from 1850 and earlier. Some are un-canceled and in mint condition from Lichtenstein.” “My Dear Child” Interestingly, he explains, “Until 1850, there were no stamps. The paper was folded over without an envelope, and was marked with the payment.” In addition to the stamps, the selection offers many letters from the 19th century, including several from New Jersey. A letter written in 1833 begins with the salutation, “My dear child,” and is a reminder that these mementos from the past belonged to real people, with real stories, and real lives. While woodworking and cabinet-making are not as much of a focus today as in the earlier days of the business, Phil and Owen Cane still make their fine quality pieces, which now are mostly customized to order. Splendid tables, benches, cabinets, cupboards, and more are available. A striking one- of-a-kind cherr y

FAMILY FOCUS: “We look forward to everyone coming to see the special collection in our showroom.” Owen (left), Carol, and Phil Cane, owners of Cane Farm Furniture in Rosemont, are proud of their longtime family business. They are shown near a country-style pine dining table with painted black legs and accents, built by Owen. wood sideboard with painted black accents is eyecatching, as is an intriguing three-shelved hanging cabinet, both built by Phil Cane. He also constr ucted a large blanket chest, a tiger maple wall box, and wooden wine holders, among other pieces on display. The work of Owen Cane includes a number of very ha nd s om e cou nt r y - s t yle dining tables, and he and his father also restored an antique dining table. Pine, Cherry, And Walnut “Typical wood for early American furniture is pine,” explains Owen Cane, “and we also use cherry and walnut as well, especially if customers request it. In addition, the furniture is often painted, as it was in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Black, brick red, and dark green were popular then.” The furniture selection also includes desks, rocking chairs, and a number of
chairs with cane and rush seats and backs. Corner cabinets are available too. “We will also purchase interesting items from estate sales and individuals,” points out Carol Cane. “We are always interested in adding to our collection.” The price range for the items covers a wide range — anywhere from $25 to $2,000 for furniture and everything in between. Their business has been affected by the pandemic, of course, and also by the internet and the competition of online shopping, report the Canes, but they continue to have the support of longtime customers from all over the area. Now that cases of the virus are decreasing, and restrictions are being lifted, they are looking forward to a new beginning. Regular Customers “We have met a lot of people over the years,” says Carol Cane, “and we have
many regular customers, including from Princeton.” Adds Phil Cane, “T he people we meet are so interesting, and of course, I have enjoyed making the furniture. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers.” Cane Farm Furniture’s location in rural Hunterdon County is a plus for visitors. Just outside of Stockton, the setting ensures a relaxed and un-rushed visit. The nearby Colligan Inn (famous for the wishing well in the Rodgers and Hart song, “There’s A Small Hotel”) has been a longtime Cane customer. Another reminder of the history surrounding the Cane family business and this special place. ane Farm Furniture is open Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 1 to 5 p.m., and by appointment.

In Helping PU Women’s Lightweights Win IRA Title, Senior Captain Sanchez Excelled On and Off the Water
The Princeton University women’s lightweight varsity 8’s 26.3-second win over Wisconsin in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national championship grand final earlier this month might have looked easy, but the path there was anything but that for Lauren Sanchez and her teammates. The lightweight team had several members of last year’s boat that was in position to go for a title in 2020 graduate and was missing others this season who took a gap year. The Tigers only had enough rowers to field an eight boat and a double scull boat. The small group of lightweight rowers on campus had to sustain fitness and training while undergoing regular weigh-ins despite the uncertainty that they would ever get to compete. “Just going through that process without knowing if you’ll be able to race is challenging,” said Sanchez, a senior captain and a native of Medford, N.Y. “Our team adopted a mentality that we were going to race. And if we didn’t, we were going to cross that bridge when we got there. But we put all our faith in that it would happen and would work out and we were going to train for something great.” The Tigers didn’t find out until April that they would row this year, and didn’t get the OK for the IRA national championship regatta until just two weeks before it. Princeton overcame those hurdles and performed incredibly for a decisive win over Wisconsin in the final to capture its sixth national title, but first since 2003. “It meant just so much,” said Sanchez. “Not only this year, but our team has been the last four years working toward this national championship. We were primed and ready to do it in 2020, and it was very disappointing that we didn’t get a shot at doing it, particularly for our seniors. Being able to do it this year meant the world.” Sanchez’s gold was one more honor to cap her Princeton career along with being nominated for the university’s Art Lane ’34 Award, which goes to an undergraduate for selfless contributions to sport and society. Sanchez was nominated because of her accomplishments on the water as well as being a leader of Princeton’s Special Olympics rowing program. “It meant a lot for that recognition for the Special Olympic program,” said Sanchez. “The program means a lot to me. It’s great to see people recognized for it.” Sanchez also won gold at nationals in the double scull as a freshman. The next year in 2019, she jumped to the varsity 8 and took silver. Princeton won bronze in 2018 in the varsity 8. “Obviously we improved each year,” said Sanchez. “We took third my freshman year. We took silver my sophomore year. In
junior year, we won Head of Charles by a large margin and were feeling really ready for the spring season. We did have a sense of building momentum. And over the past year, we really just tried to hold on to that. It was a big part of our team culture to remember all the work that previous generations of lightweight crew have put in and to not lose that momentum.” The national title capped a year unlike any previous. The Tigers weren’t able to race a lot, but their small sample size was impressive. They debuted with a narrow 2.6-second win over Drexel’s open weight boat. They barely lost in a rematch with Drexel at the Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia, falling by only 1.9 seconds, but importantly getting a look at another lightweight crew when they cruised to a 21-second win over Georgetown. “We knew we were a really fast boat, just from the times we were putting out in practice back on Carnegie,” said Sanchez. “We knew we were a fast boat in a normal year, and we thought that we would be a fast boat in a COVID year. For this year, our only lightweight competition that we raced was Georgetown back at Dad Vails, and we had a 21-second margin over them. We didn’t know what that meant. That could just mean that maybe Georgetown was missing a lot of people, maybe they didn’t get a lot of time to train, there are so many things with COVID, one of their eight could have gotten COVID that weekend and just been pulled out. We felt like we’re going to be really fast, but you never know, which is unusual for us.” Princeton would see most of its competition in a regular year two or three times. They hadn’t raced against Wisconsin until nationals. “In a normal year, you pretty much know how the field is going to stack up, you know what the margins are going to look like because you’ve seen everyone once or maybe twice,” said Sanchez. “This was our only time racing up against Wisconsin. We had some sense, but we wanted to throw it all out there because we didn’t have any idea what Wisconsin would look like.” Just to have the chance to row again in competition was significant to Sanchez and her teammates, especially her classmates who were able to end on a high note. They had been a part of a rise of the Tigers
program to national champions. “It is really special to get on the start line with that P on your chest and with the girls that you’ve been training with all year and get ready to race,” said Sanchez. “It was really great to be able to have a season. It was really special for the senior class because most of us were there. We didn’t have too many gap years. To be able to finish it out together was huge.” Sanchez isn’t done with rowing yet. A politics major, after graduating from Princeton she is going to use her fifth year of NCAA eligibility up Route 1 at Rutgers with the Scarlet Knight rowing program, where she will pursue a certificate in public policy. And aside from some new teammates, she sees some similarities. “It’s nice that I’ll be near some friends at Princeton still,” said Sanchez. “The team seems great. They did quite well at nationals so I’m excited to keep the momentum again.” In addition, Sanchez is excited about continuing to serve the Special Olympics community. She is looking to bring the same program that became such a big part of her life to Rutgers now. As a freshman, she was introduced to the Special Olympics rowing program that was run by Princeton rowers. “My little brother is autistic,” said Sanchez. “He did programs like Special Olympics growing up, but there was nothing specifically Special Olympics branded near me. I never really got involved because that was his space. Then coming to Princeton, a senior on the team was running the program and promoted it among to freshmen and I wanted to get involved immediately. I missed my brother at home. And I felt quite guilty going to Princeton and having all the resources I did.” Sanchez found altruistic value in the program as she enjoyed helping a community that had no such option otherwise. “The program was a great way for me to feel more at home but also to feel like I was doing something more important than going for national titles, which are great and fun and obviously mean a lot, but the program itself makes a sport that is historically really inaccessible open to other communities,” said Sanchez. “It’s a great way for the student-athletes at Princeton to give back and share in the skills they’ve been able to

Princeton Track Star Amaechi Takes 13th in Discus at NCAAs
Princeton Universit y women’s track star Obiageri Amaechi finished 13th in the discus at the NCAA Championships last weekend at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. A m ae ch i ’s b e s t t h row of 54.83 meters came on her second attempt as she bounced back from a foul on her first throw. By finishing in 13th place, Amaechi earned Second Team AllAmerican honors. The outdoor school record holder in the discus, the recently graduated Amaechi, a native of San Francisco, Calif., enjoyed an outstanding career at Princeton. She was a first-team All-America honoree in 2018 and is a three-time NCAA Championships qualifier. The Ivy League outdoor champion in discus in 2019, she was also Ivy outdoor runner-up in 2018 and indoor runnerup in the shot put in 2019, an event she holds a program all-time top-five mark in. Amaechi was also a twotime USTFCCCA All-Academic selection. Next year, she will be competing at the University of North Carolina as a graduate student.

PU Women’s Rower Scott Named to British Olympics Squad
Former Princeton University women’s open rowing star Hannah Scott ’21 will compete for Great Britain at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games this summer, the British Olympic Association said last week. Scott will be rowing in the quadruple sculls, making her first Olympic appearance. “We are so proud of Hannah and her accomplishments,” said Princeton open row ing head coach Lor i Dauphiny. “Nothing slows Hannah down; she is up for any challenge and a true competitor. There is no doubt Hannah is a force and has inspired so many on this team and in the rowing community around the world.” At Princeton, Scott was a two-time Ivy League champion who was an All-American in 2019 that helped the Tigers to two top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships.
versity men’s heavyweight rowing star Tom George ’18 will represent Great Britain at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games this summer, the British Olympic Association said last week. George will be on the men’s 8, making his first Olympic appearance. “I’m thrilled to see Tom finally realize his dream of racing in the Olympics,” said Princeton men’s heavyweight head coach Greg Hughes. “It has been a wild and challenging last 16 months and through it all, Tom has stayed focus on task to get to this point. I can’t wait to watch him line up next month in Tokyo.” On the international stage, George has won six medals with the eight, highlighted by a gold and two silvers at the Rowing World Cup. At Pr inceton, G eorge helped the varsity 8 to three medals at Eastern Sprints, led by a silver in 2016. He also helped the 8 to four top five finishes at IRAs including in a bronze in 2016.

After Good Run in CVC, Sectional, and Group Meets, PHS Track Relishing Last Chance to Show its Stuff Kendall Williamson was the lone Princeton High track and field athlete to advance to the upcoming Meet of Champions, but she won’t be the only Tiger athlete competing this week. PHS already had scheduled a Last Chance track meet at home for this past Tuesday and the response to it was significant from the outside and from within their roster. More than 15 teams sent athletes, and Princeton was welcoming most of its team for one last event to cap the year on a high note together. “If we had another meet, I think a lot of them would join,” said PHS head coach Ben Samara. “It’s not just about training and competing. The camaraderie and friendships that they’ve developed on the team, they don’t want to leave that. It really becomes something special throughout the course of a season.” While in some situations or years, athletes are looking to wrap up and head into their summer vacation, most of Princeton’s team was looking for more time together on the track. Their commitment has impressed the coaches all season, and seeking one more meet only confirmed their dedication. It has PHS considering hosting the same Last Chance meet next year, but pushing it closer to the Meet of Champions date of June 19 so it aligns with athletes’ training cycles. “Our entire crew is going
to run on Tuesday save for a couple of the kids that ran at groups over the weekend,” said Samara, whose program also hosted an invitational meet last week. “Obviously Kendall won’t run. We had 30 athletes set PRs [personal records] last Tuesday. With that many kids PRing, it’s showing that all their hard work is paying off. We’re going to enter as many kids as we can this Tuesday and we’re hoping for a huge batch of PRs to end the season. A lot of our kids that didn’t get a chance to compete at our conference meet and sectionals worked for about a month from the middle of May until the middle of June now, just for the chance to PR. And so many of them did. We’re so happy that so many of them stuck with it and continued to work, and so we’re excited to give them another opportunity.” Junior star sprinter Williamson will represent PHS at the Meet of Champions being held at South Plainfield after advancing out of the Group 4 state meet. The Group 4 meet and Group 2 meet were hosted by Franklin High over last Friday and Saturday with rainy conditions. Williamson ran 12.64 seconds to take eighth place in the girls’ 100-meter finals. She ran 12.67 in the preliminaries. Williamson ran 25.76 seconds for 11th in the 200 meters, just hundredths of a second off her personal best. The top three finishers in each group
advanced automatically plus the next six best times between Groups 2 and 4. “Group 4 is the toughest group in the state,” said Samara. “We knew with the way the advancement rules are that those Group 4 athletes were going to be at a disadvantage in terms of qualifying spots. Our kids fought really hard. Kendall did a fantastic job in some not-so-great conditions, running a pretty good time in the 100 to make the final and secure her spot. We were really proud of her. I think she really benefited from running in the conditions we saw at the CVC championship because if you can run through that, you can run through anything. We had some really good performances that just missed qualifying but were really solid nonetheless.” Ada Metaxas was the next highest individual finisher at groups for PHS as the junior jumped 15’ 10¼ to take 14th place in the girls’ long jump. “I think she’s had some really big meets in a row, doing three or four events, and I think she was a little tired coming out,” said Samara. “I told her after she jumped that she has nothing to be ashamed of. The things she was able to do for our team this year, the events that she put herself in without a lot of experience, that she was able to score in, she’s become such a leader on this team and she’s built herself into an incredible

things she did in the race over the weekend, and she made a lot of really good tactical decisions in that race. She’s somebody who we forget is only a sophomore and in her first outdoor track season because of the pandemic. She’s got so much room to still grow. It’s going to be amazing to see what she does over the next two years.” The girls’ 4x400 relay of Williamson, Megan Rougas, A lysse K iesewet ter, and Catherine Howard placed 16th in 4:11.09. Howard is a senior, but Williamson and Rougas are juniors who could return, along with Kiesewetter, a freshman who got invaluable experience by making it to groups in her first year of high school. “Last week, we got to sectionals and she kind of had a little ‘deer in headlights’ thing, and learned some lessons from that,” said Samara. “She got to come and run at groups and she’s somebody that will be a real star on our team. Being able as a freshman to have that sectionals experience and that groups experience will really benefit her in the years to come. I think there are a lot of athletes that were in a similar position.” For the PHS boys, the 4x800 relay of Collin McCafferty, Addison Motto, John Zammit, and Andrew Kenny ran 8:13.21 to take ninth place. The top two relays advanced automatically plus the next six best times at the site. “The boys 4x8 was tremendous,” said Samara. “They ran a really solid time and ended up being one of the first wild cards out. They really brought it. They got put in the unseeded heat and they won it and they put themselves in a really good position. Even though they ended up missing (Meet of Champions), they have nothing to hang their heads about. They ran fantastic all season and they really should be representing themselves at the Meet of Champions, but that’s just the way things happen in New Jersey. They should be incredibly proud of themselves for how they competed.” The Last Chance meet and the Meet of Champions appearance by Williamson,
her first, will wrap up quite a spring season for the Little Tigers after a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PHS girls won the CVC Championship and the boys’ 4x800 was the highlight for a young group. “Over the course of the season, coach Smirk and I have been so impressed with the resiliency of this team,” said Samara. “Just the way that from the time COVID started through the winter when we had a beautiful January that we weren’t allowed to work together, and then a February that was covered in snow, and that abbreviated winter season all the way through that spring, through injuries, and weather, this team has just been so incredibly dedicated and resilient. It’s not something every team can say. This group of kids at this school, it’s a special group of kids.” The PHS squad began the year like everyone – unsure exactly how it would unfold, how meets might look, and how many opportunities that would have. They have made the most of each, and the Tiger track and field team can credit the leadership of its senior core that stuck through every up and down. “We have 15 great seniors on our team who have weathered so much adversity, not just through the pandemic, but through this season,” said Samara. “Kids like Khalil Benjamin, who was jumping 21 feet before he had a hamstring injury. He never quit and just kept working and working and ended up winning a javelin title instead, which is such an incredible accomplishment. Then you have Dan DiLella, who’s one of our captains, who has been working through a really serious back injury and never once showed his teammates anything other than resolve and drive and determination to get back on the track. Every single one of these kids has a story and every single one of these kids is so special to us and to our program. Every year we graduate these seniors and then we see them come back and continue to motivate the kids who are still there. That’s one thing that makes our program special.” —Justin Feil
“They always had the attitude that we could win but not unrealistically. They knew that if we were going to win, we were going to have get every break.” The squad’s group of seniors set a positive tone with their upbeat attitude. “O u r s e n ior c apt a i n s, Molly [Lagay] and Catherine [Martin], stepped up at every opportunity to rally the team,” said Maser, whose Class of 2021 also included Janiah Adams, Lia BullKrieg, Anna Dawson, and Allison Tarbotton. “At timeouts and at halftime, they were redefining success. Meaning, ‘so yeah we are behind, but success today will be if so-and-so scores a goal, success for us today will be if we run for a fast break.’ If a first time player gets into the game have a couple touches on the ball, we tried to do that. We constantly adjusted.” Sophomore attacker/midfielder Emily Ix led the team in scoring and emerged as a key team leader. “Emily was the one who rallied the troops to get enough girls out there,” said Maser of Ix, who tallied a team-high 37 goals with Martin chipping in 22 to stand second in that category.
“All of the girls look to her. She was persuasive in getting some other kids to switch sports to come and play lacrosse.” Stuar t has some other good kids slated to return in sophomore Anna Landis, freshman Elise Price, freshman Isabel Milley, and sophomore Lily Harlin. “Anna was a contributor as was Elise,” said Maser. “Isabel was our most improved player. Lily helped both on and off the field. Her personality is fantastic too, no matter what would happen that kid would laugh. She always had a positive attitude.” With the 2020 season having been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, having a relatively full campaign proved to be a fantastic experience for the Tartans. “They seemed disappointed when it was over, they were thrilled to be able to play this year,” said Maser. “They appreciated having 13 games, that is a nice thing to see with a team.” Maser, for his part, sees nice things ahead for Stuart. “It is encouraging for next year,” said Maser. “I have a team next year where the girls may not have played every position but I think now they understand them and the different flow of the game.” —Bill Alden
Coach Woodside Sees Dream Come True As PDS Launched Track Club this Spring
As John Woodside took the helm of the Princeton Day School cross country program in 2015, he had visions of adding a track and field program to augment the school’s athletic offerings. While Woodside had talks with school administrators about the idea and students expressed interest in taking part in track program, it appeared that his dream was not going to come to fruition. But this January, Woodside got an email from PDS Director of Athletics Katie Fay advising him that the school was planning to start an upper school track and field club and asking him to help guide it “This was my dream,” said Woodside, who previously coached boys’ track and cross country at Princeton High. “I really felt like I was called here for a reason, I really do believe that there was a reason why. I kind of gave up hope a couple of years ago. I said well it is my dream but it really isn’t going to happen. It is a true blue miracle.” Coaching the program along with Mark Adams, who has been serving as t h e PD S m id d le s cho ol track coach, the club drew a strong response from the students. “We had 23 or 24 on the roster and had a regular group of 18-20 that came every day,” said Woodside. “I am real proud of the kids and I was really happy for them. They really loved it. The group that we had regularly there loved it and ate it up. They didn’t have to be there.” While club had no attendance requirements and was less structured than an interscholastic team, Woodside and Adams treated their athletes as though they were competing for a full-fledged varsity program. “We talked to kids early on and said we are going to coach you as if this is a full, regular team,” said Woodside. “We understand that it is a club and we can’t require you to be here and we understand that there are conflicts. We were really able to teach them a lot about the X-FACTOR: Stuart Country Day School lacrosse player Emily Ix heads upfield in a game this sport, the nuances of it, the spring.

Getting used to head coach Mark Maser, who was in his first full season guiding the program, and lacking depth with a roster of 16, the Stuart players learned to deal with things on the fly. “The biggest area of progress was adaptability and the girls learning multiple positions,” said Maser, who guided the team to a 1-12 record. “That was not only because I think it is the right thing but out of necessity.” In Maser’s view, the record didn’t reflect how competitive the Tartans were throughout the season. “We were in every game but it was a war of attrition,” said Maser. “Other teams could substitute folks and we really couldn’t. We needed to sub from the bench rather than sub around the field. I had one dedicated midfield line where I would have loved to have had two to help on the transition.” Unfazed by the losses, the Stuart players maintained a winning attitude. “They came out every day ready to play,” said Maser.
“It didn’t have all of the lanes, it was on grass but you know what it was ours. It was really cool. I had it marked out in 100-meter increments and a 400 would be a lap and a third. The kids really did some good stuff. It is much smaller than a usual track and I said to them you guys are running crazy times in workouts, when you get out on a regular track you are going to fly.” Two of the club’s freshman girl runners, Emily McCann and Harleen Sandhu, flew high this spring. “They were our two star d is t a n ce r u n n er s,” s a id Woodside of McCann who had a best time of 5:36.9 in the 1,600 meters with Sandhu recording a season best of 13:25 in the 3,200. “Harleen ran the 3,200 twice and the 1,600 while Emily ran the 1,600 and also ran the 800. Emily is a talent. She is one of these kids who is good in practice but goes to another level in the meets. Emily got better as she went through the season, she was learning.” Juniors Kacey Fisher and Tyanna Miller emerged as star throwers for the squad. Fisher set the team mark of 28’10 in the shot put while Miller had a season best of 86’6 in the discus. “Kacey did the shot put and the discus and Tyanna did the discus and the shot,” said Woodside. “Tyanna was really good at the discus and Kacey was really good at the shot. They scored points in every one of our meets. They came every day, they were supportive.” As for the boys, a pair of cross country standouts, junior Will Sun and freshman Arun Patel, led the distance crew. Sun set a personal record of 11:29 in the 3,200 while Patel had a best time of 5:11.2 in the 1,600. “Will ran the 3,200 and also the 1,600,” said Woodside. “He has the school record now in the 3,200 and it is a good one. Arun set the record in the 1,600 five times; he went from 5:40 all the way down to 5:11. Arun was there every single day and he led most of the workouts. Arun is going to be a kid to watch. I am looking forward to what he can do in cross country.” Wo o d s i d e a n d A d a m s found a diamond in the rough in sophomore sprinter
Jayden Smith. “Jayden ended up with the record in the 100 (12 seconds), 200 (26 seconds), and 400 (56.8),” said Woodside. “He went from running about 62 in the 400 down to 56.8. He never ran track before or did anything like this. He is just such a good kid too. We were really thrilled with him.” Overall, Woodside was thrilled with the progress his athletes made in the inaugural campaign of PDS track. “We have a whole roster of school records now,” said Woodside. “These kids are the pioneers, they are the beginning of this. In 20, 30, or 50 years, their names are going to be in the list as the starters of this program.” In Woodside’s view, that pioneering spirit could lead to some great things in the future. “We are really hopeful that it will continue and grow,” said Woodside. “The kids weren’t prepared this year because they didn’t know about the club before it happened because it was a last minute deal. They will be prepared mentally and physically before they get started next year. I have a feeling we are going to be a lot better, have a lot more kids and be a lot more competitive. The kids learned a lot.” The club inspired good feelings in the PDS community. “There were comments from administration officials that hey, this is the great thing,” said Woodside. “It feels like, wow, this is just right. Hopefully other people will say that too.” With Woodside retiring from PDS after coaching cross country this coming fall, he hopes that helping to get the track program up and running will be a special part of his legacy at the school. “I am proud and honored to be part of the first season because I hope it grows into something great and they remember Woodside helped start this thing,” said Woodside. “The kids were really on this for a long time. The parents helped out too, talking it up. The credit for this happening belongs to a lot of people. I am just grateful to have the opportunity to be able to do this in my last year here.” —Bill Alden

Summer Men’s Hoops Returning for 32nd Season, Rebounding After Losing 2020 Campaign to COVID When the Princeton Recreation Depar tment had to cancel its Men’s Summer Basketball League last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Evan Moorhead vowed that it would return in 2021 and be “stronger than ever.” True to his word, Moorhead, the assistant director of recreation and league c o m m i s s i o n e r, h a s t h e hoops circuit up and running for its 32nd season, featuring a lineup of eight teams with the action tipping off on the evening of June 21 with a doubleheader at the Community Park basketball courts. “I wanted to be held accountable so here we are,” said Moorhead. “I am very excited. If we had this conversation a week ago, I think we would have been at six teams but there were two teams who came together late. We would have run the league with six teams but eight is a good number.” The process of getting the league back on court was arduous as Moorhead followed guidelines, consulting with the Princeton Health Department to get the necessar y approvals as youth and high sports opened up before reaching out to gauge interest for the summer league. “It has been a difficult year for everybody,” said Moorhead. “Once we got that OK is when I started to reach out to teams from the last few years and to see who was interested. That was really going to drive things. From there, if we had no interest we wouldn’t be having this conversation but there was enough interest there with some of the returning teams. As usually happens, I got some inquiries from some new teams that we were able to add.” One of those returning teams is LoyalTees, the twotime defending champions of the league, having won the titles in 2018 and 2019, led by former Princeton High standout Davon Black. “They have got their eyes set on a three-peat,” said
Moorhead. “In my mind, until somebody proves differently, they are the favorites. They have Davon, Zahrion Blue, Terrance Bailey, Nick Davidson, Vince Anfield, Lior Levy, and Freddy Young Jr.” Another league favorite, the Majeski Foundation, which is comprised of players from The College of New Jersey men’s hoops team, is also back. “David Rodriguez is the captain, he will be leading the team,” said Moorhead of the rising TCNJ senior center. “They have been one of the anchors for us the last few years. Every year, they are a competitive team. They play together in the winter so they have a strong chemistry and young legs. I anticipate that they are going to have another good season. The thing that has been great too is that after some of those guys graduate, they have peeled off into some of these other teams. It has really been beneficial for the league.” A g roup of P r i nce ton High graduates is entering a squad, the Basketball Team, featuring some recent Tiger standouts. “I am happy to see those guys in,” said Moorhead of the team which is managed by Jack Suozzi and includes Ethan Guy, Gefen Bar-Cohen, Riley McMahon, Ben Moyer, Tim Evidente, and Matt Rinaldi. “There have been some years where we haven’t had a real strong PHS flavor with a team of guys or even dispersed among the league among the other teams. I am happy that those guys want to play. The foundation of what this league was built on was the high school grads.” A league stalwart, Phil Vigiliano, will be leading Caesar’s Bagels & Deli. “Phil is great, he is another guy who says whatever you need for the league whatever I can do to help, let me know,” said Moorehead. “He is a guy over time who has become a fixture as well. Phil has his tentacles out there with the hoops world,
he has access to some high caliber players.” A h igh ly - sk illed TCNJ alum, Kevin Johnson, has put tougher a squad, Speed Pro. “Kevin is a good player and a good guy,” said Moorhead. “His roster has Nick Alaimo who is a TCNJ grad and couple of other names that I recognize who have played in our league before. They always have a competitive team.” The league lineup will also include NJ PAC, managed by TJ Malave, Planet Fitness, led by Juwan Harrison and including former W W/ PSouth star Bryan Rivers, and Princeton Supply, which is led by Craig Wrenn and features Khalid Lewis and Tyler Jones. In assessing the slate of squads, Moorhead foresees plenty of heated action at Community Park. “It is a good mix, every team on paper seems very competitive,” asserted Moorhead. “The regular season works out well, we are going to do a seven-game round robin. Everybody plays each other once and then we have the playoffs. I am ready to get back into it.” While Moorhead is excited to see the return of competition, he is also looking forward to the revival of the convivial atmosphere arou nd t he park as old friends and foes catch up with each other and share hoops banter. “The entertainment value for the community of this actively being available for people to come out and see is important,” said Moorhead. “There is the excitement of the game but there is also this social piece to the league. That is a big part of it. These are folks I don’t see outside of a couple of months when we are playing basketball. It has been two years now.” —Bill Alden
