At its meeting Monday night, July 26, Princeton Council passed an ordinance that provides for parking improvements, and voted in favor of resolutions allowing a contract for interim free transit service in town, and a grant funding body-worn cameras for police, among other actions. But most of the meeting was taken up with discussions and presentations on topics including whether to remove the kiosk at Witherspoon and Nassau streets, what to do with federal funding from the American Rescue Plan, and racism as a public health crisis. The kiosk, and another at Nassau Street and Vandeventer Avenue, were the focus of debate in 2013, when some wanted them replaced by electronic billboards. Others argued, at the time, that they are a community service allowing anyone to post notices, and the idea was dropped. This time, the reason for possible removal of the kiosks is tied to the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s (NJDOT) plan to improve the traffic signal at Nassau and Witherspoon streets, making the intersection safer for pedestrians. Replacement of the traffic signal requires a larger controller box that is too big to fit inside the kiosk, and would not be properly ventilated, according to municipal staff and representatives of the NJDOT. Andrew MacLane, NJDOT’s in-house design coordinator for the project, said the traffic signal is powered by a manhole owned by PSE&G. “They prefer that the controller and meter cabinets are located in the northwest corner, where the existing one is now,” he said, adding that the site is preferred because it affords an unobstructed view of the intersection, which is necessary, for safety reasons, when any maintenance is being done. An alternative location would be across Nassau Street in front of Hamilton Jewelers, but it would not be as safe, MacLane said. The kiosk cannot be repurposed with the equipment inside of it because of concerns about ventilation of the controller itself, and access if anything goes wrong. “So confining it is not within our electrical standards,” he said. Councilwoman Michelle Pirone Lambros asked what the controller box would look like, and MacLane said it would be Continued on Page 11

“Laura Wooten’s Law” Honors Former Resident Former Princeton and Lawrence Township resident Laura Wooten, a poll worker for 79 years up to her death in 2019, was honored on July 23 when New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed “Laura Wooten’s Law,” requiring civics instruction at the middle school level throughout the state. Wooten was known as the longest continuously serving poll worker in the history of the United States. “Laura Wooten’s life is a study in civics,” said Murphy. “She set a tremendous legacy of service. Even more importantly, in her life, born in the segregated South, she persevered through sexism and racism, including right here in New Jersey. Her life stands as evidence that change in a democracy comes not from those who hold elective office, but through the work of ordinary citizens.” Also speaking at the online signing ceremony, Wooten’s daughter, Yvonne Hill, noted, “She walked off 14 Witherspoon Lane and into history by working the election polls for 79 years. She was just doing what she thought was her duty.” Hill continued, ”My mother would be so honored to know that a bill would be passed recognizing her legacy of civic responsibility. She always felt that youth should be involved in exercising the hard-fought right to vote and help make change. Her famous words were ‘Don’t

say you can’t make a difference. How can you make a difference if you don’t vote?’” Hill went on to tell the story of how in 2017, at age 96, her mother found out at the last minute that she was needed at the polls on election day. Unable to get a ride on short notice, she set out on foot at 4:30 a.m. in the dark, determined to fulfill her civic duty. Wooten moved to Princeton from North Carolina at age 4 and graduated from Princeton High School in 1939. She

worked as a nurse’s aide at the University Medical Center of Princeton for 18 years, was a teaching assistant at Community Park School, then went to work for Princeton University dining services for more than 25 years. She did not miss a year working at the polls from 1939 — when her uncle, running for justice of the peace, persuaded her to work for $10 as a “challenger” checking voter IDs — until her death.

Joint Effort Opens With Gospel Festival; Eight Days of Cultural Events Follow Coming out of the pandemic with themes of reconnection and “a new vision for Princeton,” the Joint Effort Witherspoon-Jackson Princeton Safe Streets celebration begins this weekend with a fish fry and reunion gathering at the Elks Lodge on Saturday afternoon and a gospel festival at the First Baptist Church of Princeton at 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 1. “The highlight of this nine-day celebration is reconnecting with people,” said Joint Effort founder and event coordinator John Bailey, “with an emphasis on cultural expression, intellectual dialogue, and conversation on the future of Princeton.” He continued, “We will hear from

people who have a message, and I hope these events will be meaningful and purposeful. Folks have been isolated for 18 months, and it’s good to come out, cautiously, and resume the historical and cultural experience.” Bailey pointed out that masks will be available for voluntary use. “With the COVID upsurge we have to be mindful in accordance with state and CDC guidelines,” he added. The kick-off reception and first “new vision for Princeton” discussion will take place on Monday, August 2 at Studio Hillier on Witherspoon Street. Bob Hillier, Continued on Page 11

Princeton Cardiologist Will Cycle To Help Fund Cures for Cancer

Dr. Shalabh Singhal has another six weeks to get ready to ride his bike the 72 miles from Billings, Montana to Sioux Falls, S.D. As part of an effort to raise $1 million for cancer research, the Princeton cardiologist, who is 45, is in intensive training mode, rising at 4 a.m. every third day to put in four hours on the bike.

Like most of the more t han 230 employee s of Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) who are taking part in the annual fundraiser Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer, Singhal has a personal connection to the disease. His 34-year-old cousin died of acute myeloid leukemia, leaving behind his wife, a 1-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. Singhal and his wife, oncologist Shivani Srivstava, were living and practicing in Indianapolis at the time. They were among those treating his cousin as he fought and ultimately lost his battle with the disease.

“It was just a few days after his son was born that he was diagnosed,” Singhal said. “He had a fever that wouldn’t get done. We were part of a health care team — a support group by night and bearer of bad news by day. We did all that we could, but he passed away within a year of diagnosis. I don’t think he was able to hold his son, properly like a father should, because he had all kinds of immune reactions. It really left a mark.” The death of his cousin was one reason Singhal and Srivstava wanted to be more actively involved in medical research. “We realized how few tools we had to improve the lives of patients,” Singhal said. “We could postpone the inevitable by a few months, but that was all. We wanted to improve that.” I n 2013, t h e y m ove d to Princeton to work at BMS. Singhal is currently e xe c u t i v e d i r e c to r, development program lead for the company; Srivastava is executive director, clinical program lead, oncology. The annual Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer involves BMS employees who have committed themselves to five months of extensive training for the cross-country trek, which begins September 8 in Cannon Beach, Ore., and ends October 1 at BMS headquarters in Princeton following a stop in Long Branch. Singhal was aware of the ride, but didn’t consider taking part until COVID turned his regular routine upside dow n. “I never thought I’d have the physical and

mental strength to do it,” he said. “But in the COVID world, I think I needed some kind of reprieve. I had a lot of down time, and I wanted to do something different. The ride was perfect for me. Also, I hadn’t really dealt with my cousin’s death. So I’m doing it to honor his memory.” Athletics had never been a big part of Singhal’s life. “I’m a middle-aged man with two sons in middle school, and I drive them to school — that’s my exercise,” he said with a laugh. “But I had a lot of down time during COVID. I began training in February, when I could only ride five miles a day. Now I’m doing 75 miles every third day. My goal is to do 75 four days in a row.” Continued on Next Page

BMS provides a personal coach to get riders ready. “He beats me up,” Singhal said. “It’s not just the stamina. It’s the way you hold the handle bars, your posture, hydration, nutrition, how to ride up and down a hill — all of that came into it. It’s about how to do it safely, and then we build up mileage. It takes a lot. The hardest part of the journey is not the physical part. It’s the getting up and keeping going.” There are eight BMS teams of 10 riders each. Each participant does about 75 miles a day, over three days. Since 2014, more than 530 BMS employees have raised more than $7.15 million for cancer research through the rides, specifically for the V Foundation for Cancer Research. Eighteen teams are doing this year’s ride. Since last year’s events were p os t p one d due to the pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 teams will ride concurrently — one on a northern route, the other on a southern route. All will meet in Long Branch at the end. BMS will match money raised, dollar-for-dollar, up to a $500,000 maximum donation. Singhal is planning to keep cycling once the ride is finished. “It’s addictive,” he said. “You meet people. It’s a community. Everyone waves to you. And the cycle shops in Princeton are amazing. It’s a world you become part of.” To contribute to the ride, visit cancerbikeride.org. —Anne Levin

World Champion Bryan Brothers Are Guests at Tennis Fundraiser

World Champion tennis doubles team the Br yan Brothers will be the special guests at the 27th annual gala of NJTL of Trenton on Sunday, September 26 at the Boathouse at Mercer Lake. Longtime supporter Jeffrey Perlman, founder and managing director of Borden Perlman, will be the honoree. NJTL creates opportunities for success by enriching the lives of under-resourced youth through tennis, education, and mentoring programs. The Bryans are the only doubles team to win all four Grand Slams, all nine Masters 1000s, the TP Finals, and the Olympics. Before the gala event, they will hold a tennis clinic and exhibition at 2:30 p.m. at Mercer County Tennis Center. The gala is more important than ever because last year’s two fundraisers were canceled due to the pandemic. While all program initiatives were creatively adapted to keep everyone healthy, NJTLT has relied on very limited resources to offer both academic and athletic opportunities to children in preschool through high school. A ndrew Lieu and A my Decker are co-chairs of the gala. Long-standing supporters Albert Stark and Ginny Mason are returning as honorary co-chairs. For information on tickets and sponsorships, visit njtloftrenton.org/gala. A limited number of individual tickets at $300 per person will be available beginning August 1 until sold out.

New Stores Open on Palmer Square To Fill Some Vacancies A furniture retailer and a lobster restaurant are among the new tenants that Palmer Square Management has lined up to fill some of the empty storefronts on and around the square. Warby Parker, the prescription glasses and sunglasses retailer, opened July 17 at 46 Nassau Street. Arhaus, a furniture retailer with more than 70 stores around the country including outlets in Freehold, Marlton, and New York City, is moving into 17 Palmer Square East, the space formerly occupied by Brooks Brothers. The store is scheduled to open in the fall. Arhaus was founded in

1986. The retail chain designs and sells home furnishings in its retail stores, online, and through catalogs. According to its website, most of the furniture it sells is made in North Carolina. The dine-in and takeout restaurant La La Lobster, which has locations in Cape May and Yardley, Pa., has been signed for 63 Palmer Square West. The Princeton location is “coming soon,” according to the store’s website. “We have several other signed leases that I still cannot discuss, but I can tell you that there will be quite a few more announcements in the very near future,” said Ja-

Under the new legislation the New Jersey Center for Civic Education at Rutgers University will prepare civics curriculum guidelines for local school boards to ensure that middle and high school students study the values and principles underlying the American system of constitutional democracy, the function of government, and the role of a citizen in a democratic society. They will also provide professional development for social studies teachers and technical assistance for schools.

But several is sues, involving easements encroaching on municipal property and protected state park land, were among the factors that stalled final approval of the deal. “Triumph is still planning to move into the historic Post Office on Palmer Square,” said Princeton’s Planning Director Michael LaPlace, in an email. “Renovation work is underway.” S everal storefronts on Nassau Street , including Laura Wooten Qdoba, Rug Gallery, Café Vienna, and Panera, have “By deepening civics inbeen empty for some time. struction in middle school — Anne Levin and high school, we are giving students the tools they need to become more engaged and informed citizens,” said Murphy. “An understanding of civics strengthens our democracy by ensuring an understanding of the role that everyone plays in the future of their community, our state, and our nation.

The bill’s sponsors in the state assembly, Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, Assemblywoman Linda Carter, and Assemblywoman Mila Jasey issued a joint statement of support for the new legislation. “Government leaders have been sounding the alarm about the civics crisis in this country for years, and I am grateful that we are finally taking action,” said Turner. “Safeguarding our democracy is now more urgent than ever, and one of the best ways we can do that is by teaching our future generations about the importance of civics skills, engagement, and participation and the value of a democratic process.” —Donald Gilpin Join us for an interactive discussion about the history of

Begins for New Riverside Principal

Riverside Elementar y School Principal Mark Shelley has announced that he will be stepping down in August and relocating to Pittsburgh. He will become the executive director for academics for grades 6-12 at the Environmental Charter School there, and his wife will be the senior pastor at Shadyside Presbyterian Church. Shelley has been principal at Riverside since 2018. He served as humanities supervisor at Princeton High School from 2016-18, and before that taught social studies and was head boys’ basketball and boys’ cross country coach at PHS. “We have treasured our life and work in Princeton for the past 12 years, and I will surely miss our students, our teachers, our support staff, and our parents,” Shelley wrote in a recent letter to parents. “I certainly hope to visit and to hear of the many successes — individual and collective — that lie ahead for our Riverside students.” Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Superintendent Carol Kelley stated that the district has interviewed a number of strong candidates to serve as Riverside’s new principal. “We are looking for a principal who not only has a record of educational excellence but who also understands Princeton’s commitment to equity and the unique programs provided for students at Riverside,” she said. District Supervisor of Student Services (PK-5) Eric Csolak will be the acting administrator at Riverside until a new principal is hired. He is currently working with Shelley and will assist the new principal during the transition period. Semi-finalist candidates for the Riverside principal job will be interviewed by a committee of Riverside faculty, staff, district administrators, and community members. Finalists will visit Riverside’s summer programs and see Riverside students in action before Kelley interviews individual candidates and makes her recommendation to the PPS Board of Education.

serve a dual purpose on an individual and family level. The mission of Mercer Street is actively applied to all of the organization’s programs and ultimately benefits so many throughout Trenton.” As the director of community engagement for the Smith Family Foundation, Butler said, “No child or family should have to go hungry; no parent should be faced with the decision whether to pay their mortgage or put food on the table. When philanthropic organizations invest in Mercer Street Friends, they’re not just giving money. They are helping to transform lives, cultivate relationships, and create self-healing communities.” Woodland, vice president, administration for the Commonwealth Fund, said, “As a staunch advocate of access to high quality education, I am honored to be a part of an organization that is responsible for shaping young minds and laying the foundation for our youth to be engaged citizens and future leaders.” Bernie Flynn, CEO of Mercer Street Friends, said, “As new trustees of Mercer Street Friends, Tara, Soyini, and Tonya are helping to chart the course for the next chapter in the organization’s history. Their unique perspectives, their desire to support Mercer Street Friends and our neighbors, and their willingness to give of themselves to ensure that our mission remains strong and relevant in Trenton and throughout Mercer County is critical to Mercer Street Friends’ success. We look forward to working side by side with Tara, Soyini, and Tonya, and we thank them for joining the board at such an important moment in time.”

Former Walmart Location To Be Ocean State Job Lot

O c e a n S t ate Job L ot (OSJL), the discount retail chain with 146 store locations across the Northeast, recently purchased the former Walmart location at 101 Nassau Park Boulevard in West Windsor, from Fathermiller, LP. Set to open by the end of 2021, this will be OSJL’s seventh location in New Jersey. The 136,622-square-foot location will be divided into two retail spaces; 47,440 square feet will be dedicated to OSJL and the remaining 89,182 square feet will be leased. The new retail space will restore vibrancy to this recently-vacant retail location, and create new jobs in the community. “We are so pleased to add another Ocean State Job Lot store in New Jersey,” said Paul Cox, director of store operations for Ocean State Job Lot. “The company is committed to continued expansion and growth throughout the Northeast and we hope to continue adding additional locations throughout the Garden State, creating jobs in the community and offering excellent value for shoppers.” Ocean State Job Lot has made its mark in the discount-retail segment through opportunistic buying, which allows it to offer a wide selection of first-quality name brands and closeout merchandise at lowered prices. The stores sell household goods, apparel, pet supplies, seasonal products (such as lawn and garden, patio, pool and beach supplies, cooling, and holiday), kitchen pantry staples, and gourmet and international specialty foods.

Two Incumbents, Three New Candidates To Compete for School Board Seats in Nov. Adam Bierman, Mara Franceschi, and Jeffrey Liao will be competing with incumbents Betsy Baglio and Brian McDonald in this November’s election for three available seats on the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE). Current Board member Daniel Dart has chosen not to run for reelection and will be stepping down at the end of 2021. Monday, July 26 at 4 p.m. was the deadline for candidates to fi le with the Mercer County Clerk for the November 2 election, where the five candidates will be running for three-year terms on the BOE, starting on January 1, 2022.

Bierman, a lifelong Princeton resident and a product of the PPS, emphasized his goal of excellent, affordable schools. Priorities he noted include “returning all students to school full-time and in-person with sports, clubs, and other extracurricular activities; developing affordable and cost-effective solutions for projected enrollment growth due to COAH (New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing); development and support for educational programs to offset learning loss due to COVID-19; and supporting our diverse student body and community through anti-racism, equity, and inclusion.” Bierman, who has made

unsuccessful bids for BOE (2020) and Princeton Council (2018 and 2019) in the past, teaches at the New Jersey Department of Children and Families, working with at-risk students in Trenton. Franceschi is a mother of three PPS students, as well as a community leader and frequent volunteer. She worked in the fi nancial services and asset management industries for a number of years then turned her focus to her children and community service. She has served as treasurer and president of the Johnson Park PTO and has worked with district leadership as a member of the PTO Council over the past two years. She has also worked as a volunteer with numerous community nonprofits. She noted three top priorities for the district: “to continue the pursuit of an excellent education for every child in the district regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, level of family income, or ability; a thoughtful balancing of the needs of aging facilities, increasing student enrollment, and the stress on the school budget, to which my background in fi nance will bring a valuable perspective; and improving on thoughtful and transparent communication among all the stakeholders in the community.” Liao, an intellectual property attorney; member of the bar in New Jersey, New York, and California; and the sole U.S. patent counsel

in the Princeton offi ce of a multinational pharmaceutical company; stated that he moved to Princeton “specifi cally for the excellent quality of the public school system” and “is very much invested in the district as I have two children attending schools here (starting seventh grade and first grade in September) for many years to come.” He added that maintaining the high quality of PPS education is an important priority for him. “To that end it is important that the financial resources of the district are spent wisely, not to reduce overall funding for the district, but with an eye to prioritization of various competing goals and securing reasonable value for dollars spent.” Liao emphasized the importance of having a representative of Princeton’s Asian/Asian American community on the BOE. He cited “race-dependent issues” that arise, especially since the onset of COVID-19 last year, and the need for Asian/Asian Americans, who comprise more than 25 percent of the PPS student body, to have a voice at the table when such issues arise. “As none of the current BOE members are Asian, I am running for the Board because the events of this past year have shown that I can no longer assume that someone else will somehow take care of this structural gap in our society,” he wrote in an email. “I believe my U.S. education and training, including as a practicing attorney for the last 17 years, makes me especially suited to act as an internal bridge into the

Board on behalf of the Princeton Asian/Asian American community and also on behalf of the board in conducting outreach and messaging to the Princeton Asian / Asian American community as well.” Betsy Baglio, seeking her third term on the BOE, emphasized equity and student achievement as the focus of her work on the Board. She serves on the personnel and student achievement committees of the BOE and is co-chair of the equity committee. She has taught sixth grade in Connecticut and fifth grade in Massachuset ts, and she has worked as an educational consultant and professional developer. “As an educator, I believe that I bring a unique perspective to the Board,” she wrote in an email. Baglio moved to Princeton with her family in 2011 and has one son at PHS and a son at the Princeton Middle School. McDonald, who is seeking his second term on the BOE, has lived in Princeton for more than 25 years, and his three children have all gone through the PPS system. He emphasized his goal to continue the important work of the past three years. “I want to support Carol Kelley, our new superintendent,” he wrote in an email. “Every member of the Board is very excited about Dr.Kelley’s arrival and has very high hopes about what she can do as the leader of the district, particularly in the areas of student achievement and equit y, which are our top priorities as a Board.” Citing New Jersey as the

top state in the nation for public schools and PPS as “at or near the top in the state of whatever ranking one is looking at,” McDonald stated, “On the one hand there’s a lot to be proud of. We’re doing a lot of things very well, but we also know that we are not delivering a high quality education to every single child. We know that we have persistent achievement and opportunity gaps, and my fellow Board members and I all want to work with Dr. Kelley to do everything we can to address those gaps and make sure that every child has the opportunity to fulfill their potential.” McDonald, who has a professional background in fi nance and has worked in the business world and as vice president of development at Princeton University, added that he is also proud of less visible work done by the BOE in planning, facilities upgrades, and in strengthening the district’s fi nancial standing. Dart, in stating his intention to step down at the end of this year, said that his fi rst priority in his remaining months in offi ce is “to return all students to school safely and full time, including lunch, sports, clubs, and all other extracurricular activities,” and also “to support our diverse student body and community through anti-racism, equity, and inclusion.” He noted, “I am proud that we have focused the school administration on students fi rst and foremost and improving existing facilities rather than new land and facilities.” —Donald Gilpin

very similar to the one currently on the corner of Vandeventer Avenue, though slightly larger. Lambros suggested greenery be planted around the box. Councilman David Cohen said the corner at Nassau and Witherspoon streets is very crowded with pedestrians, and suggested the box be located across Nassau Street in front of Princeton University. MacLane cautioned that might run into issues with the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office since FitzRandoph Gate is a historic site. Cohen suggested the box could be put off to the side, rather than in front of the gate. He added that louvers can be put into the box for ventilation. “So there are ways to address this,” he said Councilwoman Mia Sacks called the box “hideous” and asked if it would be possible to put it underground, but MacLane said that was not something the NJDOT would typically do. Sacks spoke in favor of figuring out a way to keep the kiosk in place. “I know some people have problems with the kiosk because it is messy,” she said, referring to the notices that are tacked on. “But it’s consistent with a university town.” At the beginning of the presentation, Jaimini Patel of the NJDOT said the project is in the final design stages. “Construction is planned for next year so time is of the essence,” she said. “We will use COVID relief funds for the construction. We hope to receive an answer to help us move the project along to deliver it by next year.” It was decided that further discussion is needed before a final resolution is passed. Council was scheduled to reconvene on Tuesday night to consider an ordinance that changes zoning regulations for parking at Princeton Shopping Center. Another ordinance that prohibits cannabis business in Princeton will have a public hearing on August 9. —Anne Levin

architect, Studio Hillier principal and a Town Topics shareholder, will present a “Vision for the Witherspoon Street Corridor,” with Mayor Mark Freda, Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, Mercer County Commissioners Sam Frisby and Andrew Koontz, and Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society President Shirley Satterfield participating. Princeton Councilwomen Michelle Pirone Lambros and Mia Sacks and Princeton Council candidate Leighton Newlin will contribute follow-up remarks. The second “new vision for Princeton” discussion occurs on Tuesday, August 3, at 5 p.m. in the Princeton Public Library (PPL). A 5:30 p.m. forum will focus on the youth services vision with Arts Council of Princeton Executive Director Adam Welch, Princeton Recreation Department Deputy Director Evan Moorhead, Princeton YMCA Senior Director of Youth Development and Outreach Leigh Zink, PPL Director of Youth Services Susan Conlon, and Youth Program Advocate and longtime coach Thomas Parker. The municipal government vision discussion at 6:30 p.m. w ill include Freda, Council members Leticia Fraga, David Cohen, Eve Niedergang, Lambros, and Sacks, along with new Princeton Municipal Administrator Bernie Hvozdovic. “Meet and Greet” A community reception for new Princeton Public S cho ols S up er i nte n de nt Carol Kelley and the introduction of new Princeton High School Principal Frank Chmiel will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 4 at the ACP. The Chip Fisher and Romus Broadway Memor ial A r t Exhibit with a community photo collage will be featured at the ACP with art by Aaron Fisher, Tracey J. Hill, and the Broadway family and music by PHS student

violinists Abigail and Angela Bao. The community program, beginning at 6 p.m., will feature Evelyn Turner Counts’ reflections on growing up in the Witherspoon-Jackson community followed by remarks by PPS BOE President Beth Behrend, Kelley, Chmiel, Freda, Frisby, Koontz, Lambros, Sacks, and Newlin. Also on Wednesday evening, the Founder’s Award will be presented posthumously to Joh n You ng, a founder of Joint Effort Youth Foundation; Councilman Dwaine Williamson will receive a Mildred Trotman Community Service Award; and Princeton University will receive the 2021 Jim Floyd Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award for its commitment to social equity and social justice. Several Joint Effort book scholarships will be presented to local students enrolled in college, and the evening will conclude with the Jim Floyd Memorial Lecture presented by the Rev. Marjorie Lewis on “Resilience, Rehabilitation, and Recovery in the Black Community.” More “New Visions” On Sat urday mor ning, August 7, in the final weekend of Joint Effort 2021, three more perspectives on the ”new vision for Princeton” will unfold at the First Baptist Church with distinguished panels on local issues of economic development, a local candidates’ forum, and a cannabis vision for Princeton. A youth basketball clinic in the morning, a community block festival at the Princeton YMCA field in the afternoon, and another reunions gathering at the Elks Lodge will also take place on August 7, before Joint Effort 2021 wraps up on Sunday, August 8 with the Pete Young Memorial Games and Community Awards at the Community Park basketball courts and a final reunion gathering at the Elks Lodge after the games. —Donald Gilpin

Two recent graduates of Princeton University were recently welcomed into one-year fellowships by D&R Greenway, beginning this summer. These fellowships are provided in partnership with Princeton’s AlumniCorps Project 55 program. This program offers opportunities for exceptional recent graduates to connect with and work with nonprofits. The AlumniCorps Project 55’s motto is “Launch a life of civic leadership.” This year marks a milestone, with D&R Greenway’s welcoming two fellows for the first time. Heather Callahan of Delaware and Ayame Whitfield of Massachusetts, both 2021 Princeton University graduates, were selected for these positions. D&R Greenway CEO and president Linda Mead said, “Close to a decade ago, the University reached out to D&R Greenway due to significant increases in student interest in environmental careers. Our land trust was chosen so that Princeton University graduates could engage with a local nonprofit devoted to conservation. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to work with smart, thoughtful, and proactive young people toward our mission. D&R Greenway fully supports the positions financially and is grateful to foundation donors for helping to fund this work that mentors future conservation leaders.” Whitfield will serve D&R Greenway as volunteer coordinator and will create exhibits and programs for the new museum that D&R Greenway Land Trust will open at Point Breeze, the former Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte estate, in

new kayak-supported Delaware River education program and overseeing planning for the re-creation of gardens at the former Bonaparte estate.

Mailbox Stressing Importance of Culturally Responsible Education in Schools

To the Editor: History and literature in our schools are meant to be open conversations where we challenge ideas, question things, and ultimately broaden our perspectives. This is how we learn. In all districts, but especially in diverse districts such as the West Windsor-Plainsboro and Princeton districts, it is important that these critical parts of the learning infrastructure be upheld by ensuring that culturally responsible education is maintained and furthered. This means that the inclusion of diverse voices in our history and literature is a constant process and our teachers are constantly encouraged to seek out perspectives that are different but that are representative of the students. For instance, in my Language Arts Honors class we were able to read books and short pieces by a variety of authors such as Jhumpa Lahiri, James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Bharati Mukherjee, Sherman Alexei, Anna Quindlen, and Eric Liu. These pieces of literature diverge from the classic literature, and they give us a whole new perspective. I was able to see how the American experience is a complex, multi-layered experience, where people struggle to be accepted, to make a life, to experience romance, to feel free, or who embrace opportunities, who work to be socially mobile. I got to feel seen in this kind of literature. I was represented, and so were others. This representation made for a very engaging and welcoming class environment. And this is not a novelty. Advocates of culturally responsive education say “Culturally responsive, diverse materials tell a richer, more accurate story that helps all students feel seen and included in their learning” (edutopia.org/article/through-ethnicstudies-schools-push-include-marginalized-perspectives). This clearly shows how necessary it is to ensure there is diversity in what we read and engage with, for it helps us to better learn. Of course there are many issues that will not be solved through culturally responsive education alone, however it is super important for West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South, and other high schools in the area, to honor promises of diversity, equity and inclusion made this past year, and ensure that our curriculum is inclusive and culturally responsible. Only then do we truly learn. THARA ELLSWORTH Glenview Drive The writer is a student at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South.

Prospect Treasure Should Be Given Care and Protection It Deserves

To the Editor: Prospect Avenue’s Eating Club Row, a contiguous collection of 16 majestic turn-of-the-century clubhouses, is a Princeton icon and unique in the world. The architectural grandeur of these exquisite manors rivals that of Newport’s magnificent mansions. Across the street are the three sisters of Faculty Row, the Avenue’s oldest buildings. These Queen Annes tell a different story, a story rich in the humanities and the lives of the brilliant thinkers and refugees who lived and worked in them over the past century. Their graceful presence completes Prospect’s history, one not entirely about eating clubs. W. Barksdale Maynard called Prospect, “the most beautiful suburban street in America.” The University seeks a variance to move the Court Clubhouse out of the National Register Historic District and into a residential buffer zone, razing the three Victorians. Why would they denigrate a Historic District, when changing just 3 percent of their vast 15-acre proposal would avoid the sprawl and protect the legacy of our grandest public avenue? The University hasn’t presented any educational or research imperative for this to happen in that exact location, especially with so many alternatives. The Rabinowitz-Simpson building at 20 Washington Road — a historic preservation triumph — is just one example. Our town’s director of planning writes: “Considering historic preservation as well as sustainable development and the need for housing in Princeton, staff is concerned that three large viable residential structures are being destroyed in order to move a contributing element of Eating Club Row from its current and original location.” Will the University listen? The Historic Preservation Commission was unanimous in their recommendation to deny the proposal. Does the University care? PU representatives have threatened to obliterate the stately Court Clubhouse from the Historic District if the town doesn’t approve the variance required to move it and demolish the Victorians instead. Effectively, they are saying: “I will do harm — but if you resist, I will do worse harm.” Is this truly what things have come to in Princeton? In a 2016 meeting with town officials, President Eisgruber said: “I was thinking about how much we share between the University and the town. We have to work through tough issues, and, as we have acknowledged in the past, there will be frictions between our University and our town. But [we work] from a common core of values where the University has to be willing to help the town and the town has to be willing to help the University. We did grow up together and we will continue to grow together.”

Can we hold the University to its word? This is a special thing we have here. It is not found anywhere else in the world. If we lose it — if it gets dismantled — it’s gone … forever. We’ve been entrusted with a treasure, and we should give it the care and protection it deserves, for the benefit of present and future generations. Please sign the community petition at change.org/ saveprospect – and attend the critical Planning Board meeting online on September 23 at 7 p.m. JAMES BASH Harrison Street

Finding it Odd That Interests of Historic Preservation Were Ignored for Decades

To the Editor: First, at a time when the business model for communitybased journalism has been crushed by society’s lamentable disinterest, I offer sincere gratitude for the dogged persistence of Town Topics and its local reporting. Publishing weekly in ink, on paper, you invite the news of the moment to be held with respectful hands for consideration and close attention. We are all better for your efforts. Don’t give up. Second, I am following your coverage of a redevelopment proposal for Prospect Avenue and the rising hue and cry from dissentient voices of historic preservation (“HPC Considers Club Row Historic District,” page 1, July 21). It’s a veritable planning and zoning “whodunnit?” decades in the making. Literally, a page turner. It was fascinating to learn that Prospect Avenue redevelopment vulnerability was identified as early as 1992, that strategies were available to give the community a seat at the planning table for this historically and aesthetically important part of the town, but that nothing was done for 26 years. This is a real head-scratcher, wouldn’t you agree? It’s there that I began flipping the pages back and forward. Did I miss the big reveal? What explains this gap between situational awareness and action? Would you consider following up? Neither side should ever be faulted for acting from a place of self-interest (and I take no side in this latest commotion), but the community would be well (better?) served by leaders who think and plan with the same firm resolve as its semiautonomous neighbor. Leaders who are dispassionately cleareyed, unconflicted, fully informed, expertly advised, and bravely transparent. In addition to Prospect Avenue, there are important projects in visible places all around town that will come before a usually assertive planning and zoning process. It’s odd that the bona fide interests of historic preservation were so casually ignored for nearly three decades. And no one has explained why. This all parties will agree, the proposed plan for Prospect Avenue is a real game changer. JOHN A. HEFFERN Toftrees Court

“Nobody’s Perfect” — Billy Wilder on the Human Condition

ere in the summer of 2021, when misinformation pollutes the Net and truth is a shadow of its former, undernourished self, I’m reading “The Art of Little Ruses” in Billy Wilder On Assignment (Princeton Univ. Press 24.95), a collection of Wilder’s salty, spirited writings from 1925-1930, edited by Noah Isenberg and spiritedly delivered into English by Shelley Frisch. Writing in the May 1, 1927, Berliner Börsen Courier, the not-quite-21-year-old Wilder admits that as much as he appreciates and honors “the so-called truth,” he “can easily imagine that in two or three decades lies will be regarded as an indispensable and hence utterly unobjectionable implement in our daily lives.” So why not teach “the art of lying” as “a mandatory school subject, accessible to everyone and anyone,” making it “no longer the privilege of the few who have a natural predisposition in this arena” but “the consummate moral and social justification of this hitherto maligned resource.” Cynicism Rules The cat-who-swallowed-the-canary wise guy on the cover of On Assignment already looks the part of the multiple-Oscar-winning Hollywood director Andrew Sarris deemed “too cynical to believe even his own cynicism.” If anything, based on the features and opinion pieces in this lively book, he believed in his own cynicism 40 years before Sarris downgraded him to the “Less Than Meets the Eye” category in The American Cinema: Directors and Directions 1929-1968. Labeling A Foreign Affair (1948) and One, Two, Three (1961) Wilder’s “irresponsible Berlin films” (“a series of tasteless gags, half anti-Left and half anti-Right”), Sarris singles out the “penchant for gross caricature” he says “marred” classics like Sunset Boulevard (1950) and Some Like It Hot (1959). When he pompously concludes that Wilder “is hardly likely to make a coherent film on the human condition,” I can almost hear Berlin Billie saying, and Hollywood Billy chiming in, “When was the last time coherence had anything to do with the human condition?” Thinking Like a Director In “The Art of Little Ruses,” Wilder operates like a director rehearsing a scene, with his reader cast as an actor approaching “an influential patron” without the benefit of “what could have been conveyed in a single year of systematic instruction in matters of tones of voice, catch phrases, arm movements, and facial gestures,” plus various other “Americanizing” lessons “in seamless life management.” Otherwise, when you enter the patron’s presence, “your posturing is reduced to a low level of groveling, your rapid breathing robs your voice of the proper intonation and the requisite chest resonance. Your gestures are feeble and unconvincing.” Wilder goes on to envision scenarios based on “the art of swindling” and “the subject of

indignation,” in which he coaches the reader: “Very good ... just make your voice a little deeper. Make the movement of your hand toward the floor somewhat more pronounced, and slow down the whole thing by two seconds.” Seeing like a Director Wilder’s screenwriter/director-in-embryo surfaces again a few weeks later in “Naphthalene,” as he frames a scene around his bow-legged landlady, “a retired circus rider,” who walks into his room and opens the double window: “I wanted to register strong protest. But the draft coming in from the courtyard lifted my unpaid bill for April from the desk, then it fluttered for a while between the still life with tomatoes and the dusty floor lamp, until it fell right next to the calendar, just where the zero of the day was. (It was May 10.)” Next Wilder turns his cameraeye to the hallway, where the landlady, her cousin, and the maid “were standing in front of a huge open suitcase” into which “they were cramming whole piles of carpets, old clothing, and stuffed animals. The landlady herself commanded every movement, in her right hand she held a bag out of which she dumped some sort of white powder over the whole chose, the way confectioners’ sugar is poured over pancakes. I came closer and saw the women embalming my coat.” The piece ends with the embattled lodger laid up with a cold, capped by a high fever that inspires a vision that would have been a challenge to film: “My hot eyes saw only the three Ice Saints, Mamertus, Pancras, and Servatius juggling mothballs right next to my bed.” Cole-Portering the Prince There are hints of the Wilder-to-come throughout On Assignment — touches like the Americans at Cafè Florian in Venice “bent over newspapers as big as bedsheets”; the house in Genoa where, “about 480 years ago, Christopher Columbus’s diapers were hung out to dry”; the Berlin bookstore “that smells better than Coty and Chanel and features a charming disharmony of colorful book covers almost as pleasant to look at as women with ingeniously applied makeup.” And who else but the screenwriter who made Garbo laugh in Ninotchka could create a comic short subject around a want-ad for “a short, fat man with a bald head and good teeth”? The comic verve that would one day energize Some Like It Hot and Love in the Afternoon drives Wilder’s infectious August 1927 jeu d’esprit on the Prince of Wales, “a funny boy, a snazzy guy.” As you read it, the piece begins to sing its own tune, a series of riffs on a “bored stiff and deeply unhappy” prince waiting for a

German Cole Porter (or in this case, Princeton resident Frisch’s translation). It doesn’t pay to run incognito to the Kit-Kat Club where they’ve been playing the same songs for seven weeks, or to Sandringham where they play golf so badly that the chickens get a good laugh. Another trip around the world? “The prince knows the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia as well as his pants pocket and holster. As for Egypt, the crocodiles already whistle his name in front of the pyramids. Australia gets on his nerves. New Zealand, Guyana, Jamaica, Ceylon, the Fiji Islands, Hong Kong, and Malta: ditto. Fun, thy name is colonies.” How about Canada then? An order is placed for “a real Canadian ranch, the kind the wild guys over there live in ... A simple ranch with six bathrooms, two billiard rooms, a bridge room, a dance hall, three bars, and so on.” The daily schedule offers more fun in the same key (“the prince gives Black Bottom lessons”), ending with a hunt at three in the morning. “He rode off in his nightshirt. Yes, indeed! — Hello, prince, you are a funny boy.” Making a Movie Probably the most free-spirited and joyously uncynical episode in On Assignment is Wilder’s recounting of the making of People on Sunday (1930), a slice of Berlin life codirected by Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. Ulmer, both destined for Hollywood careers, as were cameraman Eugen Schüfftan and his assistant Fred Zinnemann. In “Here We Are at Film Studio 1929,” Wilder, who provided a seven page script, mentions two working titles, Young People Like Us and That’s Exactly How Things Are, both of which make clear “that what we’re aiming for is less contrived and less busy, with less drama and less paper!... In the course of one Saturday and one Sunday we followed five randomly selected young people and had a look at how they spent their weekend.” Writing in the freshness of the moment (he’s 23 in 1929), Wilder describes “a very, very simple story, quiet yet abounding in melodies that our ears pick up every day.” True, although it’s a silent film, and regardless of which score you select if you’re watching the Criterion DVD, what you see is music for the eyes: “No stunts, no clever punch lines, and ‘not the foggiest notion of the laws of drama.’ The five people in this film, that’s you and me.” What happened to the cynic? This is a filmmaker in love, discovering his vocation, it’s a mission, an adventure like no other, no studio bosses (no studio for that matter): “Oh yes, we lack a strong storyline, a tangible conflict, and God knows what else. Let’s hope so. We skirted all the beaten paths for miles, on a narrow and

BOOK REVIEW

utterly unused, terribly isolated route; the sign indicating the direction said ‘LIFE.’” “A Strange Sense of Calm” In “Young People Like Us,” an essay included with the Criterion DVD, Noah Isenberg notes that although People on Sunday “was made at an especially fragile moment in history, between the recent stock market collapse and the rise of National Socialism, its lyricism evokes a strange sense of calm, purity, and innocence. The key concerns of the film, and of the film’s characters — fighting over matinee idols, burning one’s tongue on a hot dog, having one’s portrait taken by a beach photographer, scrounging together enough money to spring for a boat ride — are indeed rather trivial when compared with the grand historical events unfolding offscreen.” Isenberg’s introduction to Billy Wilder On Assignment ends with Wilder boarding a British ocean liner bound for America in January 1934, having acquired “a few more screen credits and a little more experience in show business, but very little of the English language,” although he “purportedly packed secondhand copies of Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, Sinclair Lewis’s Babbit, and Thomas Wolfe’s Look Homeward, Angel in his suitcase. He had gone from a salaried screenwriter at UFA in Berlin to an unemployed refugee in Paris to an American transplant with twenty dollars and a hundred English words in his possession.” “Fake News” In Warning Shadows (Norton 2010), writing about one of Billy Wilder’s darkest films, Ace in the Hole (1951), Gary Giddins quotes the fallen journalist played by Kirk Douglas: “Bad news sells best, ‘cause good news is no news.” As Giddins points out in a piece written well over a decade before the Trump presidency and the post-election Big Lie, the “human interest” story “with which Wilder’s corrupt journalist hopes to spark America” is “news of a kind that is neither bad nor good. It is fake news, comic book news, binge news that everyone can follow.” o here we are in the summer of 2021. Billy Wilder died in 2002. His films on “the human condition” have brought him a shelf of Oscars, 10 films in the National Film Registry, and Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, Some Like It Hot, and The Apartment included among AFI’s greatest American films of all time, with the last lines from the last two providing a choice of cynical captions for our time, a toss-up between “nobody’s perfect” and “shut up and deal.” —Stuart Mitchner DISTINCTIVE——— SELECTIONS OF I found a copy of the Criterion DVD of WOODS, FINISHES AND STYLES People on Sunday (Menschen am Sonntag) in the collection of Princeton Public Library.

MUSIC REVIEW

Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts Continues Online Series

rinceton Universit y Summer Chamber Concerts presented the second of its digital series last week with a livestream performance of the New York City-based Horszowski Tr io. I n a con ce r t bro ad c as t f rom the Hillman Performance Hall on the campus of Westminster Conservatory last Monday night, violinist Jesse Mills, cellist Ole Akahoshi, and pianist Rieko Aizawa presented a program of 19thand 20th-century chamber music. Named after the pre-eminent 20thcent ur y Polish A mer ic an pian is t Mieczysław Horszowski, the Horszowski Trio draws its inspiration from the pianist and pedagogue who lived to be nearly 101 and had one of the longest careers in performing arts history. Ensemble pianist Aizawa was Horszowski’s last student at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music, creating a link to a golden age of piano performance stretching back more than a century. Also committed to contemporary music, the Trio has made significant inroads into the international chamber music arena in its 10 -year history. Franz Schubert’s 1827 Notturno in E-flat major, Op. 148 was unusual in the composer’s repertory in that no one has been able to discern why the piece was written. Also known as Adagio, this piano trio may have been a rejected movem ent of a not her larger work. Regardless of its origin, the Notturno abounds w it h S chuber t’s trademark melodic writing, which the Horszowski Trio brought out well through clean i n te r v a l s b e t w e e n t h e s t r i n g s a n d a flowing piano accompaniment. Changes in musical mood were expertly handled, and the music’s ebb and flow was continuous. Violinist Mills and cellist A kahoshi communicated well t hroughout t he pie ce, w it h pia n is t Aizawa providing cascading arpeggios to close this “hidden treasure” from the 19th century. Like the Horszowski Trio’s namesake, British American composer and violist Rebecca Clarke lived through much of the 20th century, but her music has only begun to be recently published. Clarke composed the 1921 Piano Trio for a competition, employing a conservative har monic lang uage at a t ime when Arnold Schoenberg and the Viennese School were advocating atonality. With

the work ’s ferocious opening piano chords, one can hear why this Trio might have been considered unusual for it s t i m e. T h e H or s z ows k i Tr i o played the opening motto intensely, with driving repeated notes. In the first movement, Mills effectively played an extended melodic line against a piano accompaniment that used the full range of the keyboard. The movement also featured a refined dialogue between Mills and cellist Akahoshi. Aizawa opened the third movement with precise and forceful piano playing, while managing to maintain melodic direction within the driving rhythms. This Trio was an appealing piece, with a sweet open melody from the violin and very nimble playing required from all instruments to close the work. The Horszowski Trio closed Monday night’s performance with a chamber w o r k r o o t e d i n t r a g e d y. B e d ř i c h Smetana’s Trio in G Minor may have been the piece which put this composer on the map, but its origins were in poignancy and grief. Smetana had three daughters who died at a very young age, and the memory of his oldest daughter in particular inspired him to incorporate her favorite musical tunes into the Trio. Like the music of fellow Czech composer Antonin Dvorák, the Trio is infused with Eastern European folk music, but also shows the influence of such composers as Chopin, especially in the intricate piano accompaniment. iolinist Mills began the three movement Trio with a mournful tune full of descending intervals to denote weeping, a ns were d by a reassuring melody from the cello a n d a spir ite d a n d yout h f u l pia no accompaniment. The chipper character of A i z aw a’s p i a n o a c c o m p a n i m e n t suggested child’s play, with a triumphant feel recurring throughout the work. Mills and Akahoshi played several cello/violin duet passages in the piece, emphasizing a bit of light-heartedness between the i ns t r u m ent s. A ka hosh i had s evera l opportunities to demonstrate elegant solo cello playing, including a reflective melodic line in the closing Finale. A fast right hand from Aizawa at the piano led the movement, and this concise and entertaining concert, to a subtly joyful close. —Nancy Plum

A family owned business started by Joanne and Fred Knecht, it is now run by a second and third generation of the Knecht family. They proudly boast of the successes of their students, whether they continue to dance or travel another road. Many have gone onto starring on Broadway, Radio City, TV, movies, cruise ships, and winning Tony Awards.

County Historical Society, are two historic concrete castles celebrating the legacy of Henry Chapman Mercer (1856 -1930 ) , A m e r i c a n archaeologist, anthropologist, ceramicist, and scholar. The Mercer Museum, one of Bucks County’s premier cultural attractions and a Smithsonian affiliate, features both local and national seasonal exhibits as well as a core museum collection of over 17,000 pre-Industrial tools. This permanent collection offers visitors a unique window into pre-Industrial America through 60 different crafts and trades, and is one of the world’s most comprehensive portraits of American material culture. The museum also features a research library that is a center for local history related to Bucks County and the surrounding region, with its roots dating back to the founding of the Bucks County Historical Society in 1880. Fonthill Castle was built between 1908-1912, and was the home to Henry Chapman Mercer. Mercer built Fonthill Castle as his home and as a showplace for his collection of tiles and prints. The castle serves as an early example of reinforced concrete and features 44 rooms, over 200 windows, and 18 fireplaces. Fonthill Castle’s interior features Mercer’s renowned, hand-crafted ceramic tiles designed at the height of the Arts and Crafts movement. Both the Mercer Museum and Fonthill Castle are located one mile apart in beautiful Doylestown, Pa. They are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets and schedule information are available at mercermuseum. org.

Hopewell Valley Arts Council Awards Four $500 Scholarships

The Hopewell Valley Arts Council awarded its annual scholarships to Hopewell Valley Central High School 2021 graduating seniors Seraphina Gillman, Olivia Levin, Nicole Bartnikowski, and David LaRaus. For the seventh year in a row, applicants represented the community’s best and most creative students. “These scholarships are a critical part of our mission in encouraging creativity in the Hopewell Valley community and foster ing a lifelong participation in the arts,” said HV Arts Council Board President Carol Lipson. Scholarship winners demonstrated substantial talent and deep interest in their selected area of study, and a commitment to further their education in any aspect of the arts, including fine arts, performing arts, culinary arts, literary arts, or other

forms of creative expression. This year’s winners work in different media, but share a passion for the arts and its ability to shed light on the workings of their inner self and the community. Visual artist Seraphina Gillman spoke about overcoming hard times by connecting with her art and herself. “These are my goals: to be an artist and to focus my skills on providing others with the same opportunities I’ve been afforded,” she said. “I believe in the power of art to lift people up, and I want to share that power with others.” David LaRaus’ love for acting enriches his inner life. “Because of the love and passion I have for art, and the feeling of escaping my worries in life, it has become something that I plan to pursue,” he said. LaRaus will be attending Mercer County Community College in the fall. Senior Olivia Levin is inspired to pursue musical theater and environmental science as dual majors. Levin said her “mission as a performer is not just to entertain but to bring light into the lives of others. This desire to serve others and incite social change will drive my work in college as a musical theater major.” Nicole Bartnikowski is a first-generation college student of Polish descent whose childhood spent interpreting for her parents paved the way for a double major in photography and journalism at The New School in New York City. “My goal is to use the creative and life skills I learned

through the years to help advocate for those who aren’t being heard. The arts at Hopewell have enriched my life and given me a purpose. I’m able to blend the two [photography and journalism] to create a platform to fight for social justice and aid others,” Bartnikowski said. For more information, visit www.hvartscouncil.org.

Making U.S. Olympic Fencing Squad as an Alternate, PU Alumna Van Brummen Ready to Contribute at Épée

nna Van Brummen’s biggest challenge at the Tokyo Olympics is to remain ready for the United States women’s épée team competition. It shouldn’t be a problem as the 2017 Princeton University graduate has spent the last five years preparing for this chance. “I feel great about where I’m fencing,” said Van Brummen, a Houston, Texas, native who won the NCAA individual épée title in 2017, a first for the Tiger women’s program. “And I feel great about where the rest of my team is fencing. I’m really excited. I have a really good feeling. I think we can do great.” Van Brummen is an alternate on the women’s épée team which also includes former Princeton teammate Kat Holmes ’17. She didn’t compete in the individual women’s competition that was held July 23, but must be substituted in for one of the three épée spots when the team competition started on July 27. “I don’t know when exactly,” said Van Brummen. “That’s my place. I’ll be subbed in at some point, I just don’t know when. It could be the gold medal bout, it could be any other bout, I just have to be ready.” The team competition features nine bouts. While Van Brummen doesn’t expect to sub in for the anchor who would finish off the team competition, she knows she could be thrown in at any time. “The challenges are just staying ready throughout the whole day,” said Van Brummen. “So I have to be really ready and be really flexible. There are definitely times when they can be like, ‘We’ll put you in to push and make a last-ditch effort to score a lot of points.’ Or the opposite, maybe it’ll be, ‘Keep the advantage we have.’” Van Brummen was part of the bronze medal U.S. épée team at the World Cup in February 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the one-year delay of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In four world cup events this

year, the U.S. placed in the top three twice. “I think there’s definitely a medal opportunity,” said Van Brummen. “That’s what we’re pushing for.” Since taking 2016 off from Princeton to try out for the U.S. team, Van Brummen has spent an eventful five years. While she didn’t make that squad, the experience led to a new approach as she planned her future. “I had decided not to make it a priority for me,” said Van Brummen of fencing. “The year before, 2016, I had taken a year off from school to try to qualify for the Rio Olympics and I didn’t make it and I was heartbroken. I decided I’m going to make life choices not because of fencing – I love fencing and I’m always going to fence and see where it goes – but I’m going to structure my life according to some of my other interests.” After graduating from Princeton with a degree in geoscience, Van Brummen headed to ETH Zurich in Switzerland to study for a master’s degree in geophysics. She went for a purely academic pursuit and was content putting serious fencing on hold, but never got far from it. “I knew there was fencing, but I thought I’d take a more recreational approach to fencing while I was there,” said Van Brummen. “It ended up that I visited the club, I got to know the people, it was a really great atmosphere, and they really encouraged me and pushed me. It’s a huge part of where I am. Because I went to Switzerland and got to train with people there I ended up making this team.” In her first year while focusing on her studies, Van Brummen did not compete internationally. Others at the Zurich Fencing Club were and that started Van Brummen thinking about how much she missed it. It evolved from there and Van Brummen found her passion for international fencing rekindled as she started a job as an environmental consultant in California. “I had a chance to gain

a lot more experience and technical experience,” said Van Brummen. “A huge part of fencing especially épée fencing is being able to perform under pressure. You can be the best technical fencer and not be able to compete and get international results. Just getting four more years of experience and having the chance to work with international coaches and gain a new sight of fencing that I learned when I was in Europe and now that I’m in California, I’ve been able to expand my game and deal with my nerves a lot more when I am in a high pressure situation.” Van Brummen sits in a better spot than she was five years ago. She had to adjust her strategy and it led to a better outcome, including making the Olympic team. “I’m excited to have made this team, and I’m excited to be where I am,” said Van Brummen. “It’s not so much that I didn’t get my goal then and I got it now. I changed my goals and I think it’s the changing of goals that helped me make this team. It’s also changed the feeling of having made it or not made it. I feel so rewarded to have chance to fence alongside the girls that I’m fencing with. I’m proud of myself for having found a healthy outlook to my own fencing.” The changes came after her disappointment in 2016. She switched her approach and how she evaluated progress and found it made a difference. “Rather than set these goals of make this team, or get this result necessarily, I changed my goals to I want to fence well and I want to be proud of how much I’ve trained and how I’m fencing

TOGETHER IN TOKYO: Anna Van Brummen, right, and Kat Holmes display their intensity as they competed for the Princeton University women’s fencing team. Van Brummen ’17 is currently at the Tokyo Olympics as an alternate on the women’s épée team which also includes former Tiger teammate Holmes. Van Brummen, an NCAA individual épée champion at Princeton, was part of the bronze medal U.S. épée team at the World Cup in February, 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the one-year delay of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

and how I approach these things,” said Van Brummen. “Changing my goals from discreet results to more of a results process has helped me get here.” Like other Olympians, Van Brummen had to wait a year later than usual for the Summer Olympics after the pandemic postponed them. She moved back to the United States when the Olympics were postponed, began working with a new coach and sustained her training while starting a job. “I moved to California and I could train outside all year which was pretty spectacular just because the weather is so great,” said Van Brummen. “My summary would be it’s been different this year. It will be a different Games

than a year ago, and I’m a different fencer. I don’t know that it’s better or worse.” The U.S. épée team, which also includes former University of Notre Dame standouts, Kelley Hurley and Courtney Hurley, were spread out all over the country, but able to get together in the final weeks leading up to the Olympics for several training sessions. When not together physically, they worked on footwork together virtually over Zoom calls, and kept up with each other over group chats when they weren’t together. They will be together in Tokyo as they aim for a medal before Van Brummen will revisit her goals. “My work is letting me take a lot of time off for this

so there’s definitely going to be a work push for a while,” said Van Brummen. “I’m still going to be fencing. I think I still have a lot of room to improve and I plan on seeing it through.” Van Brummen has been through a long build-up that had her training while studying overseas and then starting a working career while earning her first trip to the Olympics. Her journey has her prepared to help the United States medal as she looks forward to her chance in Tokyo whenever that comes. “I’ve heard there’s nothing quite like the Olympics to turn on that pressure,” said Van Brummen. “But I feel pretty ready.” —Justin Feil

Led by Water Polo Star Johnson, Rowers and Fencers, PU Athletes Off to Good Start at Tokyo Olympics After producing a dominant run to the gold medal in the 2016 Summer Games in Rio, Ashleigh Johnson and the U.S. women’s water polo team picked up where they left off as they got into action at the Tokyo Olympics last weekend. Former Princeton University star goalie Johnson and the U.S. routed Japan 25-4 last Saturday in the opening contest of Group B pool play. Johnson, who became the first African American to make the U.S. Olympics women’s water polo team when she starred at Rio, finished with 15 saves before being pulled for the fourth period. The 25 goals tallied by the U.S. are the most it has scored since a 23-22 shootout victory over the Netherlands at Princeton for the 2019 Holiday Cup. Two days later, Johnson and the U.S. overcame a 4-2 deficit against China and pulled away to an 11-7 victory. The U.S., which also won the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, will look to keep rolling as it plays Hungary on Wednesday in its next Group B matchup. Another former Princeton standout, Gevvie Stone ’07, enjoyed success on the water as she and partner Kristi Wagner rowed the U.S women’s double sculls to a spot in the A Final after rallying for a third-place finish in the A/B Semifinal on Saturday at the Sea Forest Waterway near Tokyo Bay. Stone and Wagner were

sixth at 500 meters of the semi but trailed Australia by just .17 seconds for fourth and France by .28 seconds for third at 1,000 meters. T he U.S. pair made a push in the second half of the 2,000-meter race and eventually surpassed Australia for the crucial third position at 1,500 meters. In the last 500 meters, France came from fifth to give the United States a challenge, but Stone and Wagner held them off to take third. They clocked a time of 7:11.14 in finishing third with the Netherlands winning in 7:08.09 and Canada taking second in 7:09.44. Another former Princeton w o m e n’s o p e n r o w i n g standout, Claire Collins ’19, and the United States women’s four placed fifth in its repêchage. The United States was third at 500 meters but fell to fourth and couldn’t make a push towards the top two. Great Britain and Poland earned spots in the A Final as they came in at 6 :46.20 and 6:46.57, respectively. The United States, which clocked a time of 6:53.26, is slated to race in the B Final on July 27 with a chance to finish seventh overall in the event if they win that race. P r i n c e t o n w o m e n’s lightweight alumna Kathleen Noble ’18 had her best finish of t he Oly mpic s t a k i ng second in the E Semifinal of the single sculls event rowing for Uganda. Qatar’s Tala Abujbara took first in 8:24.24 with Noble next at

SKOAC Dermatology & Cosmetic Medicine

8:31.67. Noble will race in the E Final on Wednesday. Recently graduated Princeton women’s open crew standout Hannah Scott ’21 and Great Britain’s quadruple sculls team earned a fourth-place finish in its repêchage. The boat caught a crab early on as two of its rowers lost their blades at the start. They rebounded to pull almost even with Australia in first at 500 meters. Great Britain just .28 seconds off the lead at the halfway mark. Italy rallied to the lead with 500 meters to go but Australia came on late to earn the win while New Zealand was third. Australia clocked a winning time of 6:36.67 with Italy next in 6:37.44, New Zealand third in 6:39.91, and Great Britain coming in at 6:42.97. Scott and Great Britain were slated to race in the B Final on July 27. Former Princeton men’s heav y weight rowing star Fred Vystavel ’16 and his men’s pair partner Joachim Sutton secured a spot for Denmark in the A/B Semifinals after a second-place finish in their heat last Friday. The Denmark pair started quickly, taking a .38 second advantage over Croatia at 500 meters. They lost their lead around 750 meters and trailed by under a second at the halfway mark. Croatia pulled away with 500 meters to go and Canada made one more push to almost pull even with Denmark. H o w e v e r, V y s t av e l a n d

Sutton stayed in front. Croatia came in at 6:32.41 with Denmark clocking a time of 6:36.93 in taking second. A n ot h e r for m e r T ig e r men’s heavyweight star Nick Mead ’17 and the United States 8 just missed the A Final, pushing world record holder Germany in its heat on Friday. Mead and the U.S. jumped out to an early lead and led by .2 of a second in the first 500 meters. The United States 8 extended its advantage to close to a second at 1,000 meters, but the Germans cut their deficit in half (.47) with 500 meters left. Germany finished strongly, forging ahead to win the heat by 1.62 seconds in 5:28 with the U.S. coming in at 5:30.57. Another Tiger rowing alum Tim Masters ’15 and Australia were fourth in 5:43.66. A third former Princeton men’s heavyweight star, Tom George ’18, and Great Britain were third in the second men’s 8 heat, trailing the Netherlands and New Zealand. George and the Great Britain group was third, off the pace by 1.86 seconds at the 1,000 meters, but could not make a push to get any closer. Netherlands clocked a winning time of 5:30.66 with New Zealand next in 5:32.11 and Great Britain placing third in 5:34.40. The United States, Australia and Great Britain 8s are scheduled to race in the repêchage on July 27. The top four advance to the A Final. Over at Makuhari Messe, o n e of J ap a n’s l a r g e s t convention centers, former Princeton University women’s fencing star Kat

Holmes ’17 was the first Tiger fencer on the strip at the Tokyo Olympics, battling South Korea’s Sera Song in a round-of-32 match in the individual épée competition last Friday. Song took the bout, 1512, leading 2-0 after a period and 5-2 after two. From there, Song kept at least a two-touch margin the rest of the way. Bat tling hard, Holmes cut the gap to three at 10-7 with 34 seconds to go, but aside from a Holmes touch that made it 11-9 with 23 seconds to go, the final 34 seconds of the match saw a flurry of double touches to reach its conclusion a second before time in the third period was due to run out. Holmes will be back in action in the team épée event which is scheduled to start on July 27. One of her former teammates, Anna Van Brummen ’17, is the replacement athlete for Team USA in the team event. Making his debut in the Olympic Games’ individual fencing competition, Princeton rising junior Mohamed Hamza extended his run all the way to the quarterfinals against the world’s top foil fencers in Tokyo. S eeded 22nd, Ham za, competing for Egypt, opened against 11th-seeded Briton Marcus Mepstead in the round of 32 on Sunday. Though Mepstead had the first three touches of the bout, Hamza answered with the next four and the fencers were never more than two touches apart the rest of the way. Hamza trailed 12-10 with 2:03 to go in the third period before tying it with

two touches in six seconds, and after Mepstead had the next touch for what turned out to be the British fencer’s final of the match, Hamza ended it with three in a row for a 15-13 final with 1:26 left in the third. A d ay l ate r, H a m z a’s round-of-16 match didn’t last the full first period, and for much of the bout, it wasn’t trending Hamza’s way. Sixth-seeded Andrea Cassara of Italy had the first three touches and six of the first seven on the way to a 6-1 lead. Cassara led by as many as six touches, at 10-4 and again at 13-7, before Hamza rallied with eight touches in a row to go from two touches away from defeat to a bid to the quarterfinals with a 15-13 win. H a m z a’s q u a r t e r f i n a l against 19th-seeded Alexander Choupenitch of the Czech Republic later on Monday also star ted out with his opponent getting out to an early lead, and this time, the opponent held off a Hamza rally. Choupenitch had the first two touches of the bout and led the rest of the way, seeing Hamza pull within two as late as 9-7 before extending the lead on the way to a 15-9 win. In other action on the s t r ip, for m er P r i n ce ton women’s fencing standout Eliza Stone ’13 made her Olympics debut on Sunday, taking on Azerbaijan’s Anna Bashta in the round of 32 of t h e i n d iv id u a l s ab er competition, and Bashta took the match 15-9. Bashta had the first three touches, but Stone was within two touches as late as 9-7 before Bashta ended the rally there. —Bill Alden

During her college career, Picard, a native of Taunton, Mass., was a part of three NCAA tournament teams at Harvard, including helping the Crimson reach the championship game in 2015. Following her time at Harvard where she majored in anthropology, Picard played for the National Women’s Hockey League’s Metropolitan Riveters from 2016-19, helping the team win the league title in 2018, before serving as a deputy commissioner with the league until March 2021. She worked as a coach with the New Jersey Colonials youth program for three years beginning in 2018. In addition, Picard has given her time to Hockey in New Jersey, a group that provides opportunities for youth players to compete free of charge, and to RISE, the Ross Initiative in Sports and Equality, as a fellow with the organization. “I’m thrilled to welcome Shelly to our coaching staff at Princeton,” said Princeton head coach Cara Morey. “Shelly is not only a decorated U.S. Olympian, but she also has strong ties to the Ivy League and an extensive coaching resume across all age groups. Shelly understands what it takes to compete at the highest level while being a student-athlete in the Ivy League. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge to share with our Princeton players and staff. I can’t wait for her to get started.”

Connors, a rising junior, a n d i n com i ng f re s h m e n Cormier and Paul will compete in the event which runs from July 27 through August 9. The trio were among the 43 players invited as part of Canada’s National W o m e n’s D e v e l o p m e n t Team that will head to Calgary alongside fellow Tigers Sarah Fillier, who completed her sophomore season for Princeton in 2019-20, and Claire Thompson ’20, who are part of Canada’s Olympic Centralization Roster ahead of the 2021 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Women’s World Championship. The IIHF event has been rescheduled to August 20-31 in Calgary. Connors, a native of St. John’s, Newfoundland, and Labrador, earned All-ECAC Hockey and All-Ivy League honors in each of her first two seasons with the program, each of which ended with an NCAA tournament ber th as well as the Iv y League title in 2019 and the ECAC tournament title in 2020. Over those two seasons, Connors scored 48 goals and added 42 assists, good for 90 points.

After Helping Georgetown Soccer Make NCAA Final 16, PHS Alumna Lis Stars for Real Central NJ in Debut Season After her junior season for the Georgetown University women’s soccer team was moved to this spring from last fall due to COVID-19 concerns, Devon Lis has been making up for lost time. Lis, a former Princeton High girls’ soccer standout, helped Georgetown thrive despite the delay as the Hoyas went 12-0-2, winning the Big East tournament and advancing to the Round of 16 in the NCA A tourney where they fell to TCU in early May on penalty kicks after the foes had tied at 1-1 through 90 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime. Weeks later, defensive midfielder Lis was back on the pitch, competing locally for Real Central New Jersey as it kicked off its inaugural season in the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL). “It is great to be able to go right from being in the NCA A tournament to already being able to practice at a local place with high quality level players,” said Lis. “I haven’t had to transition that much.” Playing this spring did require a transition for Lis. “It was definitely different because we started out with it being so cold out in January and February; normally

our season we start out going back in August and it is super-hot in the summer time,” said Lis. “It was different energy going in. We realized this season was different just because it was in the spring and with all of the testing going on in the bubble where we could just see each other. There were a lot of things that were different and it just took us all being a unit and saying we are going to take anything that comes our way and handle it the best we can. I think we were really able to do that to be successful.” While things were different, Lis found herself getting into a normal routine. “It was incredible to be with my team and to be back with the program and just to have more of a schedule,” said Lis. “Soccer really keeps me going, it keeps my days moving. It was amazing to realize why I love soccer so much. Everyone kind of lost sight of things during COVID. To be able to play at Georgetown, I am so fortunate that they let us have a spring season.” Hitting the pitch for the season opener against George Mason on February 25 was a special moment for Lis.

“Everyone just wanted to go out and play,” said Lis. “The reason we practice so hard is for the games, playing together, and all working toward a common goal. In the first game, there were definitely some jitters but only in the best way possible.” Overcoming jitters, the 5’9 Lis established herself as a key performer at defensive midfield for the Hoyas, starting all 14 games this spring. “My coach [Dave Nolan] does a good job when you are younger, shaping you into a player, giving you confidence and giving you a few minutes in order to be able to start for the team and have more of a role as you do get older,” said Lis, who made five appearances as a freshman in 2018 and played in 19 games as a sophomore with one start. “So coming into this season I was so excited. I knew that I wanted to start and have a big role on the team. Being able to do that with my best friends and to be successful and continue to win was great. Being able to win the Big East, I was really proud of the whole team.” The Hoyas made things exciting in winning the Big East tournament, topping Creighton 2-1 in overtime in the semifinal and then e d g i n g B u t l e r 2 -1 i n overtime in the final. “We had some crazy, crazy wins; we had players coming up big, scoring in overtime and we had people making penalty kicks in the last few minutes of the game,” recalled Lis. “It took everyone. It took big moments from players at big times. We just had that belief that we were each going to give it our all as we each had done all season. If things had not gone our way, we would have gone out of the game knowing we had given our heart and soul. Being able to get those two wins, it was an unforgettable season in many ways.” Facing South Carolina in the second round of the NCAA tournament, Georgetown showed its heart again, pulling out a 1-0 win with a goal in the last minute of regulation. “Playing teams like South Carolina in the NCAA tournament gives us an opportunity to compete with a team that we normally wouldn’t know how we would stack up against,” said Lis. “It was a new team to us, we had never played them before. It is such a wellknown program as well. We had the same nerves

and same excitement going into that game and we held strong. It just shows the drive and dedication of our team to do the best we can.” The drive for a national title ended with the heartbreaking loss to TCU in the Sweet 16. “Going into PKs and then having a thunderstorm in the middle of the PKs, I think is something that no one else in their life will experience again,” said Lis. “That is what sticks out the most. We obviously completed to the last minute. I am proud of every girl who took a PK. It takes strength to do that. In moments like that, it just comes down to luck a little bit. It was a tough loss, it could have gone either way at any moment.” Looking ahead to her senior season this fall, Lis believes the defeat to TCU will help spur the Hoyas to new heights. “We know our potential,” said Lis. “We know having a regular season and now going into the preseason that we are eager to go even farther and to continue to prove ourselves in the Big East. Every year is a new way to re-show our talent, commitment, and dedication.” This summer, Lis has displayed her dedication to the game by joining Real Central NJ as it kicked off action in the WPSL. “I went to a tryout during the winter,” said Lis, who learned about the program through one of her assistant coaches at Georgetown. “I wanted to get a feel for the team, I wanted to meet the coaches. Once I got a feel for it, I ended up going to the tryout. I really clicked with the coaches,

I was in contact with them and then decided that due to how close it is to me, due to the coaches and due to other girls I knew that were on the team, it would be the best fit for me this summer.” Playing for Real Central NJ proved to be a very good fit for Lis. “I feel really lucky and fortunate to have this team so close to home but also to have girls that I have played with since my club days like Emma Davis, who plays for Princeton,” said Lis of the squad which practiced at the Twin Pines Fields in Pennington and played its home games at the Mercer County Community College turf field. “A couple of the other Princeton girls are living local and they are also on the team. We have played side by side together since many years back so I do have that comfort level with quite a few girls on the team.” The team ended up doing very well, reaching the WPSL Metropolitan South Division title game where it fell 5-1 to the NJ/NY Gotham Reserves. “We are all very excited to be in the playoffs, being a new team in general and being able to get one of this spots is something that we are all very proud of,” said Lis of the squad which topped Match Fit Academy

2-0 in a semifinal contest shortened due to thunderstorms. “We practice hard during the week and we show up to the games. We have grown as we continue to play together. I think the first thing is always to compete but to also have fun and realize that this is a summer program. We are playing at such a high level and we are also doing this because of a love of the sport.” With Georgetown starting preseason training in early August, Lis is primed to take things to a higher level in her final college campaign. “I have gotten a lot of repetition w ith touches, the competition has been very consistent and it hasn’t dropped since college,” said Lis, who has also been busy off the field this summer doing an investment banking internship for Citibank. “That has been good for me to maintain things at such a high level. I am just focusing on staying in game fitness. We are going into preseason and fitness is always so important. Being able to play with a group of girls and working on my vision and my communication are things I can’t do individually by myself. It has been awesome for me to do this summer.” —Bill Alden

“Our focus today was trying to eliminate the three as much as possible,” said Davidson. “It kind of got away from us at stretches but when we buckled down, I thought we had it good.” After building a 22-18 lead at halftime, LoyalTees found itself down 39-38 with four minutes left. Buckling down over the waning moments of the contest, LoyalTees pulled out a 45-42 win before a crowd spilling beyond the bleachers at the Community Park courts. “They were getting a little bit of transition, I remember they had a lob for a dunk,” said Davidson. “So we slowed down the pace and I felt we just grinded out a win.” D a v i d s o n ’s s h o o t i n g helped LoyalTees earn the win as he hit a three-pointer and four free throws down the stretch to account for the team’s final seven points and end up with a gamehigh 18 points. “In the first half, I was just kind of testing it out seeing

Last Monday night, Davidson scored 18 points to help LoyalTees edge Majeski Foundation 45-42 in the first game of the league’s best-of-three championship series. Game two is scheduled for Wednesday night at the Community Park courts with game three, if necessary, set for Friday at the same site. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

what I could get,” said the 6’6, 220-pound Davidson, who starred at Bloomfield College where he scored 1,924 points and helped the Bears reach the NCAA Division II Sweet 16 in 2018 as a senior. “It was getting me back from a week of doing nothing. I just wanted to get my legs back together.” In draining the clutch free throws in the last minute of regulation, Davidson kept his head together. “I just try to visualize it as much as possible and I go through my routine,” said Davidson. “I do the same thing every time and I just try to keep my eyes on the basket.” As LoyalTees, now 9-1 this summer, eyes a third straight title, Davidson believes the squad has the qualities to achieve that goal. “We are just guys that play with a lot of heart on the court, we give it our all,” asserted Davidson. “We take defense ver y ser iously, I love play ing with guys like that. We had a very big stop at the end tonight. We have a high basketball IQ. We do all of the little things on the court. I love doing that.” Davidson is looking to do whatever the team needs on the court. “This year I feel is a little bit of a step back for me,” said Davidson. “Zahrion [former Princeton High and current Lincoln University hoops star Zahrion Blue] is our main option right now. I want Z to get as many shots in as possible. He is going into his senior year of basketball, I want him to be a star as much as possible. I am just trying take a role in the cast. W hen I need to asser t myself, I tr y to assert myself as much as possible.” With LoyalTees having a chance to win the title on Wednesday in game two of the ser ies, Dav idson believes the team will assert itself as it battles Majeski. “Wednesday is a close out game,” said Davidson. “They are going to be after it but we are going to be after it too. We have been in these positions before. I really want to get them out of here in two.” —Bill Alden

Nick Davidson took it easy last week as he went on a family vacation to Massachusetts. The relaxation came to an end last Monday as Davidson returned to the area to play for LoyalTees when it faced Majeski Foundation in the first game of the best-ofthree championship series of the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League. Davidson knew that the two-time defending champion LoyalTees would have its hands full in the matchup with Majeski, which is comprised of players on The College of New Jersey men’s hoops team. “They are all in shape, they have a great chemistry,” said Davidson. “They do a lot of things well on the court, they move without the ball. You just have to be really disciplined w ith them. They are all searching for the that threeball, they can all shoot.” In order to deal with Majeski, LoyalTees was emphasizing perimeter defense.

Due to the efforts of junior coach volunteers Andreas Oskiper (a rising senior at Princeton High) and Collin Penders (a rising senior at The Pennington School), who are travel hockey teammates, the program was able to recently entertain the Bulldog players and their families through a Virtual Bingo Night. The event took place via Zoom on June 18 and between Facebook fundraisers and cash and check donations from families and friends, it raised $3,200 for Mercer Special Hockey.

Obituaries

Inge (Ingeborg) Pielenz Cadle November 8, 1933 — July 18, 2021

Inge Pielenz was born in Heilbronn, Germany, on her mother’s 25th birthday. Her childhood was shaped by World War II. Happily, her family lived in a rural town that suffered relatively little devastation. After the war, as the only daughter (with three brothers), Inge was expected to stay at home until she married, but she insisted on training as an interpreter. She studied French in Switzerland and then English in England. Next Inge got a job in Heidelberg as an interpreter and secretary in the office of the chief chaplain for the U.S. Army in Germany. There she met Don Cadle, a private in the Army, but one with a B.A. from Yale and a Ph.D. from Oxford. They were passing acquaintances for more than a year before Don was asked by her boss to proofread her application

to an American college, and discovered that the beautiful blonde German girl was also both smart and principled. With only two months left in his enlistment, he tried to court her, but she was skeptical, thinking all he wanted was a quick adventure before heading back to the U.S. Don, however, was very persuasive: they got engaged on their second date and were married on June 30, 1956. Forty years of a very good mar r iage followed. Inge bravely left her family, culture, and native language b eh ind when t ravel b e tween the U.S. and Europe meant either days on a ship or a sequence of propeller planes! Don soon joined the Civil Service, starting in the Bureau of the Budget; then he and Inge were joined by daughter Caron. Inge became an American citizen and settled into suburban life in Arlington, Virginia. But in 1964 the three Cadles moved to Germany, due to the death of Inge’s beloved older brother Frank. Don was needed to help run the Pielenz family business, a sewing-thread manufacturing company. Inge had to readjust to being her parents’ daughter in her old hometown and help Don deal with the stress of learning a new language in his mid-30s and of working with his father-in-law. There was secret relief all around when, more than three years later, Inge, Don, and Caron could return to the U.S. They settled in Washington, D.C., and Don resumed his work with the Civil Service. Don left the government for private industry in 1970,

and in 1971 t he fam ily moved north to Princeton, New Jersey. In 1978, Don opened his own investment business. This gave Inge and Don the flexibility to do a lot of what they loved best: encouraging, helping and broadening the horizons of (mostly) young people, with great generosity. Over t he course of about 30 years, they took 66 teens and 20-somethings on major trips, including three to Egypt, four to China, one to the Soviet Union, two to India, and many more to Europe, Central America, South America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and many U.S. states. Inge was counselor, sounding board, den mot her, and cheerleader for two generations of young folk from the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, Mexico, Egypt, Turkey, and Japan. She and Don opened their home and hearts to exchange students, relatives, friends, friends of friends, and to daughter Caron’s German husband, Ralf Remshardt, who was welcomed into the family in 1986 with celebrations first in Germany and then in Princeton. Inge and Don often changed lives with spontaneous acts of kindness, such as buying a car for the chauffeur who’d driven them during several trips to Egypt so he could open his own taxi business. Inge managed to do all the above while also taking care of a large house, always full of guests, without any help until she was well into her 80s, and creating a huge, beautiful garden that was her greatest joy and, as she put it, her therapy. She always said that she would

have liked to have been an architect, and her designs for a major addition to the Princeton house and for the landscape that surrounded it prove she would have made a good one. Inge Cadle will be remembered by those whose lives she touched for her sense of adventure, her courage, her tenacity, her wit, and her warmth. When she lost Don in 1996, she faced the future without fear or selfpity. Asked by one Princeton neighbor how she managed not to cry, she replied, “I had 40 good years, I have no reason to complain.” She responded to the undeserved cruelties of age and memory loss with the same stubborn bravery. While we live, we will miss her. Inge moved to Gainesville, Florida, in 2018 and received 24-hour care starting in March 2019. She is survived by daughter Caron Cadle, son-in-law Ralf Remshardt, brother Albrecht Pielenz and his wife Christiane, sister-in-law Christa Pielenz, ex-sister-in-law Erika Pielenz, 12 nieces and nephews in the U.S. and Germany, their many descendants, and a large group of much-loved “relatives by choice,” as well as the best care team in the world: geriatric care manager Jocelyn Holt and caregivers Liza and Mary Clines, Melissa Giles, and Iva Floyd.

Jean O’Neill Huntington Jean O’Neill Huntington, 95, died peacefully on July 3, 2021 at her Stonebridge at Montgomery residence in Skillman, New Jersey, with her family at her side. Jean was the wife of the late Thomas Foster Huntington and their 24-year union was a joyous one. Jean and Tom spent countless days sailing around Narragansett Bay and cruising the New England coast. Whenever there was music and a bit of floor space they would be the first ones to step out and start dancing. They also loved traveling overseas and spending time with their children and grandchildren. Born Jean Bell O’Neill on May 9, 1926 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Mildred Tiel O’Neill and William Charles O’Neill, Jr, she graduated f r o m Ab i n g to n Fr i e n d s School and the University of Pennsylvania. Jean then worked in New York and became a trade journal editor. After her May 1956 marriage to Charles Fink Fischer she moved to Princeton where they raised two children, Cornelia and Henry. A natural athlete, Jean

played and refereed field hockey for over 30 years. She loved competitive tennis and continuing playing well into her 80s. Despite losing her sight and with it her ability to play bridge in her final years, Jean remained cheerful and witty, an O’Neill family trait that served her well all of her life. Jean was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, the Pretty Brook Tennis Club, and the Present Day Club. Jean is survived by her brother William (Audubon, PA), her daughter Cornelia Fischer Sertl (Mark Sertl, Rochester, NY) and their two children Katja (Annapolis, MD) and Nicholas (Somerville, MA), her son Henry Fink Fischer (Nancy Richardson Fischer, Hood River, OR), as well as Fischer stepsons Charles (St. Croix, VI) and Don (Mary Esther, FL), Huntington stepdaughters Ellen (Wilmington, DE), Louisa (Weezie) (Allentown, NJ), and Deborah (Brooklyn, NY), and their families. A private family gathering is planned later in the year.

LET’S TALK REAL ESTATE... MID-SUMMER PERENNIALS TO BEAUTIFY YOUR GARDEN Adding flowering perennials to your garden can bring lasting color to your garden through the fall. Many hardy and long-lasting perennials are native to North America and are often deer resistant. Here is a sampling of perennials for planting zones 3-8 that will suit various sun and soil types: ∗

∗

Bee Balm (Monarda didyma): True to its name, colorful Bee Balm attracts both bees and butterflies. This deer-resistant plan will reach 2-4 feet in height, prefers part-shade to full sun, and does well in moist soil. Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta): This classic wildflower is native to North America and blooms from June-September. Its distinctive bright yellow flowers with rich brown centers are attractive to butterflies. Plant in well-drained soil. Pink Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea): Another easy-to-maintain native plant. Featuring eye-catching purple flowers with bright yellow centers, echinacea is tolerant of many different conditions, including drought, humidity, and heat. Joe Pye Weed: This fast-growing and late-blooming wildflower is easy to grow and tolerates various conditions. The plant is known for its pink, vanillascented flowers, and can reach up to 5-7 feet in height.

THE OVERLOOK

On one of the more pastoral roads in Tinicum Township, Bucks County, sits “The Overlook” This home is sited on a precipice that affords stunning views of the New Jersey countryside across from the Delaware. Whether it is in the green of Spring and Summer, the colorful palette of Autumn or the pure white canvas of Winter, “The Overlook” provides amazing vistas. The home is a combination of traditional exterior and semi-open interior floor plans. The large foyer spreads into the formal living room and dining room and the eat-in kitchen merges with the large entertainment deck that provides the visual nucleus of the property. There is a large den that shares the view and features a wood burning fireplace and a unique projection system for all your screening needs. There are a total of 4 bedrooms and 2 1.2 baths. The lower level has a professionally designed wine room. The property provides complete privacy provided by the long meandering drive through the 10 plus acres. “The Overlook” is a rare find and location and is waiting for the next stewards to place their signature touches to an already special property. $1,650,000
