As concern grows over the immigration crisis at the border and throughout the country, Princeton University and Microsoft have issued statements in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 28 decision to review cases regarding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Meanwhile, Princeton Human Services, in collaboration with the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) and the Princeton Public Library, last night held a Know Your Rights workshop “in preparation for the expected ICE raids in the upcoming weeks.” The workshop on immigrant rights was planned to provide information for what to do if one has an encounter with ICE. Lawyers were to be present to answer questions and notaries on hand to complete temporary power of attorneys for child guardianship. In further support of the immigrant community, a coalition of area organizations has planned a Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps rally for Friday, July 12, from 7-9 p.m. in Hinds Plaza. Sponsored by Princeton Marching Forward, Indivisible Princeton, Indivisible Cranbury, Princeton Progressive Action Group, the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, Stand Central NJ, and Lawrence Citizen Activists, the event is part of a nationwide protest and vigil “to spotlight the inhumane treatment of immigrant families by the current administration.”

Rider Plans to Keep, Relocate Westminster Rider University announced Monday that a $40 million agreement to sell Westminster Choir College to a Chinese company, Kaiwen Education, is off. Instead, the University plans to move the prestigious music school from its Princeton location to Rider‘s Lawrenceville campus beginning in September, 2020. While those who have consistently opposed the sale to Kaiwen are expressing relief that the deal will not go through, there is considerable opposition to the consolidation plan. “What they want to do is simply illegal,” said attorney Bruce Afran, who is representing the nonprofit Westminster Foundation in efforts to save the school and keep it in Princeton. “So we will be moving in court to block this, as we have before.” Rider’s plan would keep Westminster Choir College, Westminster Conservatory, and the Westminster Continuing Education programs on the 22-acre Princeton campus during the upcoming 2019-2020 academic year. The University has not specified what the Princeton property on Walnut Lane would become after the move. “Those plans are just in beginning discussions,” said Rider spokesperson Kristine Brown, in an email on Tuesday. “If you recall, we were under an exclusivity agreement with Kaiwen until yesterday so

no official plans are in place. However, it is our hope that we will sell the land and retain a portion of the campus for our use.” Rider merged with Westminster in 1991, a time when the music school had serious financial problems. Rider invested in the school’s deteriorating buildings and provided financial support for the school’s performance tours. But in 2017, Rider announced its intention to sell Westminster, citing a projected deficit in Rider’s budget. The University’s Board of Trustees

undertook an international search for an academic institution that would purchase the school and its campus, according to University President Gregory Dell’Omo. In February 2018, Rider announced a $40 million agreement to transfer ownership of Westminster to what was then called Beijing Kaiwen Education Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese bridge and steel company that had recently taken over two schools in Beijing.

Eden To Open New Day Center For Senior Citizens with Autism

Most people associate autism with children and young adults. But thanks to better health care and increased understanding of the disorder, people with autism and developmental disabilities are living longer. According to the Association on Aging with Developmental Disabilities, the average life expectancy for people with a developmental disability was just 22 years in 1931. Today, the average life expectancy is 70. Yet only two percent of autism research is focused on seniors, which leaves families with an autistic relative uncertain about the future. It is this kind of statistic that inspired

Eden Autism, the 44-year-old support organization, to create the Schalks Crossing Day Center for Aging Adults. The new center is located in the Plainsboro Plaza on Schalks Crossing Road. The facility opens this month, with an official ribbon cutting scheduled for Thursday, August 15. “There aren’t too many programs focused specifically on senior adults with autism,” said Michael Decker, Eden Autism president and CEO. “A great deal of the emphasis, nationally, has been on children. But that is changing.” Continued on Page 10

DACA

The Supreme Court’s announcement that it will hear arguments on DACA during its next term, which starts in October, threw the fate of the program into limbo again and prompted both Princeton University and Microsoft to urge Congress to take legislative action to protect the Dreamers before the Supreme Court rules on DACA. The Justice Department announced in 2017 that it was ending the program, but subsequently several district courts and courts of appeal ruled that the government’s decision to rescind DACA was unlawful. The DACA program allows some individuals brought to the U.S. as children to receive a renewable two-year period Continued on Page 8

Westminster Deal continued from page one

“Rider has been deceiving the public since the beginning of this. They didn’t make a good faith effort,” Afran said Monday. “They were trying to sell Westminster at market prices. They just mailed things out and were offering to sell. That is not a serious effort. They weren’t offering to give it to someone else to be the charitable steward, which is what they agreed to be in 1991.” While colleges in the United States merge and affiliate, they don’t sell at market prices, Afran continued. “And the idea that they can sell this campus and move Westminster, shoehorning it into whatever they have in Lawrenceville, is monstrous. Their duty, when they merged in 1991, was to protect Westminster as an intact and operating school. There are no proper facilities for training opera and choral and conducting and organ students on the Rider campus.” Ongoing lawsuits opposing the sale of Westminster to a foreign government have been filed during the past two years by the Westminster Foundation and Princeton Theological Seminary, which originally donated the land for the music school back in 1932. In addition, there have been arbitration issues by Rider’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).

The story “Rainbows Bedeck Town for Inaugural Princeton Pride Parade” (Page 1, June 26) should have noted that Dean Dafis is the first openly gay elected council member in Maplewood (not New Jersey).

The AAUP reacted to the news of Rider’s latest plan on Monday. “We are very concerned that given that the Lawrenceville campus lacks the specialized facilities that the Westminster programs require, such a move may entail the effective destruction of those programs,” a statement reads. “We therefore urge President Dell’Omo and the Board of Trustees to work with the AAUP and all other stakeholders to develop a plan that will ensure the long-term survival of Westminster Choir College as the world class music school that it presently is.” The announcement from Rider this week said that the University and Kaiwen had mutually agreed not to extend the Purchase and Sale Agreement for Westminster, “and explore an alternative relationship between the two entities.” Dell’Omo was quoted, “Given the enormous complexity of the transaction, it became increasingly clear that partnering with an outside entity, even one as well-intentioned as Kaiwen, was not feasible on a viable timeline. Although we determined not to extend the PSA effective June 30, 2019, we have already begun conversations with Kaiwen’s leadership regarding meaningful areas for cooperation and collaboration.” Rider and Kaiwen will work together over the next three years on “academic and artistic initiatives,” the July 1 press release reads. While consolidating the two campuses was originally proposed as a way to strengthen Rider’s finances two years

ago, the Board of Trustees recognized “the strong traditions and history associated with the Princeton campus,” choosing instead “to search for a suitable partner that would preferably commit to operating Westminster in Princeton,” according to the statement. Board Chairman Robert S. Schimek said, “Now that it is clear that transferring Westminster Choir College to an external partner is not possible, it is our continuing responsibility to enact a plan that serves the best interests of the entire University. It is not financially feasible to allow Westminster to continue on its present course as a separate, fully operational campus seven miles from Rider’s Lawrenceville campus.” The Westminster Foundation, made up of alumni, former faculty, and others who value the music school, is working to find an alternative to Rider’s consolidation plan. “Calling off the deal with Kaiwen was round one,” said Constance Fee, the foundation’s president. “Our biggest goal now is to separate from the school, unless Rider goes back to some sort of commitment in being responsible and investing time and effort. We are moving ahead.” Afran called the end of Rider’s agreement with Kaiwen “a slight improvement. But the attempt to move the school is equally destructive, and will be fully opposed,” he said. “There is no justification for the destruction of the school, which is what would happen.” —Anne Levin

Parents, or anyone enrolled in the library’s Adult Summer Reading Program, might end up with a $150 gift card to Witherspoon Grill, or a individual pass for a year of visits to Grounds For Sculpture. The theme of this year’s program is “A Universe of Stories,” which comes from a consortium of libraries across the country called The Collaborative Summer Library Program. So far, 300 have signed up for adult summer reading, while a record 1,628 are enrolled in kids’ programs. “I think the thing that changed this year is the fact that the Adult Services staff worked side by side with Youth Services on the first day of sign-up,” said Kristin Friberg, readers service librarian and head of the Adult Summer Reading initiative. “It was a great moment to capture parents as they were signing up their kids.” Youth Service Librarian Susan Conlon credits a visit to jaZam’s toy store on Palmer Square, as well as significant outreach to local schools, as sparking interest in the kids’ programs. “We went out to the schools to talk about the programs in the weeks leading up to summer,” she said. “We visited every first through fifth grade class at all of the elementary schools and the Princeton Charter School, and we went to the middle school. The kindergarten classes came here. It really made a difference.” The largest block of readers this summer are those in kindergarten through fifth grade. “It has been really steady,” said Conlon. “One thing that

Fishman will talk about his book One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission that Flew Us to the Moon. The documentary Apollo 11 and feature film First Man, which is based on the book First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong, will be shown July 22 and 29, respectively, to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon walk. Additional programming on the astronomy theme includes “Apollo 50: The Next Giant Leap,” on Tuesday, July 9, featuring NASA Solar System Ambassador Tom Timko; “Discover Life in Space” with scientists from The Franklin Institute on July 12; “Stargazing Night at Mountain Lakes House” on August 7; and an adventure for kids where aliens take over the Community Room on July 25. “Let’s not forget Woodstock,” said Janie Hermann, public programming librarian. “That was another key event from the summer of ’69, and we will recognize it by showing the film Woodstock on August 15, and hosting local bands and singers at Community Park North on August 17. That is the same weekend of the original concert 50 years ago.” It’s not too late to sign up for reading programs at the library. To be eligible for prizes, enroll by early August. It all finishes up just after Labor Day. The library is busy all year round, but summer has a unique energy. “It’s a different kind of busy,” said Hermann. “It’s not just that there are more people, and more kids in the building. There is just a certain feeling. It’s hard to describe.” —Anne Levin

of deferred action from deportation and become eligible for a work permit. The program protects about 700,000 immigrants, mostly Latinx. In November 2017, Princeton University, Microsoft, and Maria Perales Sanchez, a 2018 Princeton graduate, filed a lawsuit challenging the federal government’s termination of the DACA program. In a statement last week, Princeton University Spokesperson Ben Chang said, “As we have said before, DACA is a wise and humane policy that benefits this country in multiple ways. It has allowed talented and motivated students — including plaintiff and Princeton graduate Maria Perales Sanchez — to pursue educations and contribute positively to our country. Eliminating protections for Dreamers would be a mistake and we continue to urge Congress to enact a permanent legislative solution to protect them.” Microsoft President Brad Smith stated, “Dreamers make our country, community, and company stronger, and their protection is both a humanitarian obligation and an economic imperative. Today’s decision means the clock is now running, with even more reason for Congress to act.” In her response to the

Supreme Court announcement, Perales Sanchez said, “Today we receive the news that the Supreme Court will take the DACA case in the midst of heightened inhumanity against migrant and asylum-seeking communities. I reaffirm that the undocumented community and our allies are committed as ever to asserting migrant justice and advancing our rights as human beings.” In 2016 Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber joined hundreds of colleges and universities in issuing a statement supporting DACA, and in an August 2017 letter to President Donald Trump, he advocated for the continuation of the DACA program. Eisgruber also urged members of Congress to pass legislation that would provide legal status for immigrants living in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status. Two months ago, Eisgruber and other New Jersey higher education leaders sent a letter to the state’s congressional delegation about the obstacles their institutions face in attracting and retaining international faculty, students, and staff. Princeton University also expressed concern for international students impacted by governmental delays in approving training for employment and internships in the U.S. —Donald Gilpin

Princeton, Apollo 11, and GPS Technology: Vital Connections That Changed the World

In the late 1950s, Jim Faller, a Princeton University graduate student studying gravitational physics, wrote a research paper, “A Proposed Lunar Package: A Corner Reflector on the Moon,” in which he conjectured that a lightweight reflector could be placed on the moon and laser beams could be sent from Earth and reflected back to provide a precise measurement of the distance between the Earth and the moon. Before he turned his paper in to Professor Robert Henr y Dicke, one of the country’s leading astrophysics experts, Faller wrote on the top: “Professor Dicke, would you see if this makes any sense?” It did make sense. It gained particular relevance a decade later when Faller’s Lunar Laser Ranging Retroreflector experiment traveled to the moon with Apollo 11. And its importance endures unabated to this day. This July 20 will mark the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, and Faller’s experiment is the only piece of original equipment still functioning at the Apollo 11 landing site. Scientists can now measure the distance from Earth to moon with the precision of a single millimeter, and the experiment’s success led to the development of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Faller, professor emeritus at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) of the National Bureau of Standards and the University of Colorado, Boulder, described how in 1968 “the Apollo program at that point needed luck. Both our work and the Apollo program were lucky.” In 1963 Faller had joined JILA in Boulder and established a Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment team to expand and advance his idea. Faller’s team proposed their Lunar Laser Retroreflector (LLRR) project in 1964, and, Faller noted, “the prospects were

still in doubt in the fall of 1968, but we still continued to work.” Size, weight, speed, and simplicity became crucial factors for consideration. “The astronauts had limited time to spend on the lunar surface to position the array aiming back towards the Earth,” Faller said. The LLR R was accepted and would later to become what Irwin Shapiro, then director of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, called “NASA’s most costeffective experiment.” Jeffery Oddo, senior manager, communications, for Heraeus Corporation, which provided the materials used to make the reflector, noted that “If this experiment had not been successful, the GPS we have today would not have been developed so rapidly. We might still be relying on those paper road maps.” Heraeus’ fused silica used in the LLRR is a special material from quartz glass manufacturing which can withstand the harsh conditions of space and maintain its properties over time. “We take for granted that GPS just works,” said Heraeus Global Director of Optics Todd Jaeger. “But if we hadn’t been able to measure this distance and verify Einstein’s theory of relativity, we wouldn’t have been able to apply that knowledge to the atomic clocks that are built into the GPS systems.” Jaeger claimed bragging rights for Heraeus, a German-based company with regional headquar ters in Yardley, Pennsylvania. “The Lunar Laser Retroreflector is the only still functioning equipment at the Apollo site. This is a testament to the quality of the fused silica that Heraeus produces.” The array of 100 fused silica reflector mirrors on the LLRR enables scientists to send laser beam pulses to the moon and calculate distance based on the time it takes for the reflected laser beam to return to Earth.

ON THE MOON: Buzz Aldrin, on the Apollo 11 mission, prepares to place the Lunar Laser Retroreflector on the moon. Designed by a Princeton University graduate student, the device is still working on the moon today, 50 years later, making it possible to measure the exact distance between the Earth and the moon. (Courtesy of Heraeus Corporation) Laser Retroreflector, with “It worked for 50 years and is still working,” said its 100 triple prisms made Faller. “The transparency of high-tech fused silica, still isn’t quite as good because on the moon, still functionlunar particles, small piec- ing, is also the single best es of dust, have landed on proof that Apollo 11 was these corner cubes, so over actually there on the moon. —Donald Gilpin 50 years it’s gone from say 100 percent transmission to 10 percent transmission, but lasers have become 10 times brighter so that makes a Princeton tradition! up for that.” Fifty years later, the reflector continues to perform crucial studies of gravity, gathering information that has helped to answer important questions about the 908.359.8388 Earth and the moon.

New Eden Day Center continued from page one

The center is designed to help participants transition to retirement, teaching skills to keep them engaged and fulfilled after they stop working. The location, with access to numerous shops and restaurants within walking distance, is key. “This is a great opportunity for the people we support to be active members of the community,” said Decker. “And that is a big focus of Eden in general.” “People just didn’t really think about what happens to autistic individuals post-21,” said Rachel Tait, Eden’s chief program officer. “But there has been a shift in the last couple of years where they are starting to look at the transition to adulthood. It is slowly starting to catch up. People with disabilities grow up, and we have to prepare for the transition not only to adulthood, but to becoming senior citizens.” Decker said many of the individuals Eden has been supporting as children are now reaching retirement age. “We remain committed to them and their families as they reach yet another milestone,” he said. Schalks Crossing is opening with 28 participants, allowing for expansion to 40. This is Eden’s third day center and the first to open in Middlesex County. Eden also operates day centers in Hamilton and West Windsor. Its main location is at 2 Merwick Road in Forrestal Village. While Eden’s other adult service programs are centered primarily on employment skills, the emphasis at Schalks Crossing will be on transitioning to retirement. Activities of daily living, recreation, leisure, and volunteerism will be the focus. Eden officials are hoping the center will become an

inspiration for similar programs. “We are one of the first organizations in the field to address what the need is for seniorhood,” said Tait. “We hope the model we develop will be used by other organizations to help all families feel more at ease as their loved one ages.” The August 15 ribboncutting is at 10 a.m., at 10 Schalks Crossing Road, Suite 12. “We’re very excited about this opening,” said Decker. “It represents a great opportunity for the people we serve.” —Anne Levin

Lambertville Pedestrian Safety Campaign

City of Lambertville. A similar campaign was conducted in the city in 2017. Pedestrian fatalities are on the rise across the country. On average, one pedestrian is killed every two days in New Jersey and 12 are injured daily. Street Smart NJ is one of many initiatives in New Jersey working to help the state reach its goal of zero pedestrian fatalities. The campaign reminds people that everyone has a role to play in making our streets safer. Drivers need to obey speed limits and stop for people crossing; people walking need to use crosswalks (marked and unmarked) and cross with the signals; and everyone needs to avoid distractions.

The City of Lambertville has partnered with goHunterdon to conduct a Street Smart NJ campaign, a pedestrian safety education program aimed at reducing July 4th Jubilee pedestrian-motor vehicles Planned for Morven In 1783, delegates to Conc r a s h e s.

Homefront Celebrates Multiple Graduations: Preschoolers, High Schoolers, and Adults HomeFront celebrated a wide array of graduations last month, with preschoolers moving on, ten adults receiving their high school equivalency diplomas, and a large contingent of HomeFront alumni graduating from local area high schools. On June 28 at The Atkinson Child Development Center on the HomeFront Family Campus in Ewing, preschoolers participated in a “Moving On, Moving Up” ceremony. On June 27, HomeFront’s Hire Expectations program students participated in a graduation ceremony to receive their New Jersey high school equivalency diplomas. And at graduation ceremonies at Trenton Central, Nottingham, Hopewell, and Princeton High Schools over the past month, diplomas were awarded to a number of students who had attended HomeFront’s nursery school or its Joy, Hopes and Dreams enrichment program for school-aged children. “It’s hard to explain the joy that comes from seeing kids I had in preschool 13 years ago walk the stage as they graduate from high school, and hearing they are headed off to college,” said HomeFront Lead Preschool Teacher Shaneica Kutisha. Emphasizing the importance of preschool education, particularly for homeless children, Kutisha continued, “As you can imagine, children that have experienced trauma have a lot of emotional setbacks that can overshadow their social and academic development. As

HomeFront staff, we have been trained to recognize and address those signs of trauma so the children feel comfortable and safe in our enriching learning center.” HomeFront’s initiative in starting educational programming for young children is based on research indicating that quality early education has been proven to improve high school graduation rates and leads to positive outcomes in employment, crime prevention, and health. According to the U.S. Department of Education, only 40 percent of lower-income children are enrolled in preschool, compared to 60 percent for their more affluent peers. Founded in 1991, HomeFront, with headquarters in Lawrenceville and a family campus in Ewing, provides emergency shelter with intensive care management and affordable housing for families; tutoring and enrichment programs for children; and life skills and selfadvocacy training for adults. T h e J o y, H o p e s a n d Dreams children’s program prov ide s t utor i ng t h re e nights a week, a computer programming class, and educational enrichment programming six days a week throughout the year. The Children’s Champions program, for homeless children living at HomeFront’s campus, includes tutoring four nights a week. In addition, HomeFront’s eight-week summer camp, attended by more than 150 children each year, includes academic

enrichment, along with recreational activities and summer fun. HomeFront’s 10 Hire Expectations graduates all succeeded in earning their high school equivalency diplomas after being given a second chance. The Hire Expectations program, with the help of 25 volunteer tutors, provides multi-faceted instruction for education and workforce skill preparation leading to the high school equivalency diploma and subsequent coaching for success in job acquisition and the workplace. “This day means the world to me because I was kicked out of 10th grade on the first day,” said Hire Expectations graduate Malasia, who, as a child was homeless, frequently moving, and always struggling in school. “I finally feel like I did something right in my life.” She continued, “I started to attend the Hire Expectations program, for a job, and worked for about three years before coming back to get my diploma. I told myself if I do it, my son will want to do it, to stay in school and feel this same energy, the same excitement, and the feeling of being proud of himself. I want to thank HomeFront shelter and Hire Expectations for giving me the chance to turn my life around.” Ref lect ing on t he sig nificance of the multiple HomeFront graduations, HomeFront Founder and CEO Connie Mercer noted, “Homelessness for us is never a given.

Concierge Medicine

There’s a new trend in healthcare, and it’s gaining momentum in our area. By Sarah Emily Gilbert (Originally published in Princeton Magazine) Dr. Barbara A. Brown (left) and Dr. Lynne B. Kossow of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine.

or the past few years, Dr. Lynne B. Kossow and Dr. Barbara A. Brown of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine have offered their patients far more than the traditional primary care practice. Most doctors see 25-30 patients a day for an average of 15 minutes, but Drs. Kossow and Brown see six to eight patients a day for up to an hour. In addition to providing treatment for acute illnesses, the doctors act as their clients’ healthcare coaches through Lifestyle Medicine, a scientific approach to patient wellness by effecting changes in areas such as diet, physical activity, and stress management. With the current shortage of primary care physicians and the abundance of high volume practices, this type of individualized attention is rare. However, by switching to a concierge format, doctors like Kossow and Brown are able to practice medicine that consists of this broad-spectrum care. Concierge medicine, also known as retainer-based medicine, is an umbrella term for private medical care wherein patients pay an out-of-pocket fee in exchange for enhanced care. Born in the 1990s, concierge medicine was once thought of as a service for the wealthy that charged patients a lofty fee for luxury medicine. In recent years, it has evolved to accommodate patients across all income brackets, leading to expanding interest among patients and their primary care doctors. According to a survey released by the American Academy of Private Physicians at the AAPP 2015 Fall Summit, more than 45 percent of 862 independent physicians would consider a concierge or similar membership model in the next three years. This may be due in part to our aging population needing increased and varied medical services, leading to an imbalanced patient/doctor ratio. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of insured patients, putting a further strain on primary care doctors. As a result, physicians are often unable to dedicate enough time to each patient. In the hopes of increasing both job and patient satisfaction in a financially sustainable way, primary physicians like Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are looking toward concierge medicine. “Where conventional medicine is failing is in the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases that are becoming an epidemic in the United States today,” explain the doctors. “The current insurance model is built upon a problembased economic reimbursement that encourages doctors to address medical problems very quickly. This leads to most doctors rushing to see 25-30 patients per day in order to make ends meet…This is not how we have ever practiced. We always want to have the time to address the root cause of diseases that are preventable today.” Lifestyle Medicine is a 21st century approach to healthcare that consolidates the very best characteristics of traditional medicine with the profound impact of lifestyle behaviors on health. As our program grew, it became readily apparent to us that integrating Lifestyle Medicine into our internal medicine practice was the best way for us to continue to provide exceptional care. We feel that the concierge model is the only way to effectively do that.

Concierge medical practices come in various forms, including those that reject insurance plans all together, but this is not the case for Princeton Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown accept insurance for all covered medical services. In addition, their patients pay an annual fee of $1,200 for the Lifestyle Medicine Concierge program, which gives them access to an elevated level of care. Trained at the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the doctors are at the vanguard of their field, having lectured about their practice development model at The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine Conference in 2015. They are also members of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Physicians. They are among the first physicians to become board certified in Lifestyle Medicine, as well as maintaining their board certifications in internal medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown’s practice is unique in that it offers patients comprehensive conventional medical care combined with lifestyle counseling. Patients interested in a natural approach to disease prevention are provided in-depth, individualized coaching based on their needs. The doctors can assist with everything from quitting smoking to creating a manageable diet and exercise plan. According to the doctors, this is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to prevent, reverse, or slow down heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, and some cancers. The concierge model offers Princeton Lifestyle Medicine patients additional benefits including access to the doctors’ emails, cell phone numbers, and private phone line, extended patient office visits, a one-hour consultation, and same or next day appointments. As a result, patients see Drs. Kossow and Brown not only as accomplished medical doctors, but health advocates, mentors, and even friends. “Our practice structure allows us to spend more time educating our patients about what may be going on with them medically,” the doctors explain. “We are better able to work with them as partners in their care and advocate for them with their specialists or if they are in the hospital. We provide tremendous support and guidance to them and their caretakers or family. We are happy to have this enhanced communication with our patients. It allows us to make social visits when they are hospitalized at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro so that we can stay in close touch while they are receiving care.” Concierge practices like Princeton Lifestyle Medicine focus the healthcare system on its most vital component: the patient-doctor relationship. The model emphasizes quality care instead of quick care, benefitting both parties. Dr. Brown and Kossow are now board certified as specialists in the practice of Lifestyle Medicine and are the only physicians in the Princeton area who are board certified in both Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. As leaders in both concierge and Lifestyle medicine, it comes as no surprise that Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are at the forefront of this effort, bringing Princeton into the future of healthcare.

The Princeton Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program is $1,200 per year. The fee can be paid monthly, quarterly, biannually, or annually, and credit cards are accepted as payment. All medical services are billed through the patient’s insurance company as usual. Princeton Lifestyle Medicine is located at 731 Alexander Road, Suite 200 in Princeton, New Jersey.

A Letter to Our Caring Community As We Prepare for the 4th of July

To the Editor: As someone raised in the Jewish tradition, I was taught to view those who turn a blind eye to atrocities as complicit with the perpetrators. Growing reports about the detention of immigrant families — with rotting food and no hygiene, sleeping on concrete floors, belongings discarded, essential medical treatment withheld — suggest that the border crisis has evolved into something monstrously akin to concentration camps. Additionally, most of these facilities do not permit public scrutiny and include Army bases and for-profit facilities across the country, including right here in New Jersey. Many of these detainees are legally seeking asylum from conditions in their country of origin so appalling they have risked their lives to escape. As we prepare for the 4th of July, a celebration of the freedom upon which our country was founded, what better time to ask: what are our values? How do we demonstrate our commitment to the fundamental democratic principle that all human beings have the right to life, liberty, and dignity? We must not stand by. History, and our children, will judge us by how we respond to this humanitarian crisis. We cannot allow these atrocities to occur in our midst. On Friday July 12, from 7 to 9 p.m., the greater Princeton community will come together for Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps. The event is part of a nationwide protest and vigil to spotlight the inhumane treatment faced by asylum seekers in this country. Beginning at 7 p.m., community groups will have tables available to share information, petitions, and action items. There will be live music and an art installation on view for the event. Starting at 8 p.m. local advocates and representatives will speak on the issue of human detention camps in the United States and the impact to our communities. At 9 p.m., around the country and around the world, participants will light candles in a silent vigil for those held in U.S. detention camps. The Princeton event will feature prominent activists and local representatives including Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker; Maria Juega, co-founder of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF); Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, LALDEF chair, and director of the Center for Migration and Development at Princeton University; Princeton Councilwoman Leticia Fraga, and Princeton Human Services Vice Chair Veronica Olivares-Weber. The rally is sponsored by Princeton Marching Forward, Indivisible Princeton, Indivisible Cranbury, Princeton Progressive Action Group (PPAG), the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, Stand Central NJ, and Lawrence Citizen Activists. Whether you join the rally or not, remember that this is only a first step. We must continue to contribute our time, effort, and financial resources, and find ways to support the immigrant community in our own area. Please, #DontLookAway.

BOOK REVIEW

Baseball at Morven On Franz Kafka’s Birthday — If You Call Him, He Will Come If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come. This is the essence of magic, which does not create but summons. —Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

he term “Kafkaesque” has been loosely applied to a wide range of human situations, as often as not by people who have never read a word of Kafka and know nothing about the doings and undoings of K. in The Castle or Joseph K. in The Trial. The word came to mind again when I read about the “strange,” “off-the-wall,” “dysfunctional” history of the New York Mets in Friday’s New York Times (“Just Embrace It: Mets’ Eccentricity Is Worthy of Veneration”). But once I got past the instinctive associations prompted by those adjectives, I found nothing convincingly Kafkaesque in the incidents Victor Mather cites. As he admits, the Mets don’t own the rights to eccentricity; after all, quirky, oddball behavior is one of the the National Pastime’s enduring charms. As a St. Louis Cardinal fan, I paid special notice to the fact that “trouble started early” when the newborn 1962 Mets suffered the first of their 120 losses in St. Louis. There’s something closer to Kafkaesque, however, in the no-man’s-land of extra inning games that seem to go on forever. In a previous article, I quoted Cardinal catcher Yadier Molina’s father telling Yadi’s brother and fellow catcher Bengie that it was possible for a baseball game to last “forever” if no team scored. The idea that baseball could defy space and time sounded to Bengie “more like God than anything I heard in church.” As it happens, the game between the Mets and the Cardinals on September 11, 1974, lasted 7 hours and 45 minutes; it was 3:13 a.m. and only a thousand fans were still at Shea Stadium when the Cardinals won it 4-3 in the 25th inning. These days baseball’s infinitely fluid rules permit such marathons to be suspended, never to be made up, which leaves a confusion of possibilities both Kafka and Yogi Berra would have appreciated: apparently “it’s never over until it’s never over.” “The Essence of Magic” On July 3, 1883, the day Kafka was born, the Chicago White Stockings set what was then a major league record with 14 doubles, including four each by Cap Anson and Abner Dalrymple as they routed the Buffalo Bisons 31-7. In Kafka’s diary dated October 16, 1921, a week after after the Giants defeated the Yankees in the 1921 Series, he writes, “Should I greatly yearn to be an athlete, it would probably be the same thing as my yearning to go to heaven and to be permitted [to be] as despairing there as I am here.” Kafka’s mood takes a healthy upward swing two days later when he begins the October 18 entry, “Eternal child-

hood. Life calls again,” and goes on to imagine that “life’s splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come. This is the essence of magic, which does not create but summons.” In the 1989 film Field of Dreams, something “deep down, invisible, far off” tells Kevin Costner’s Iowa farmer, “If you build it, he will come.” Sure enough, when the field is built, Shoeless Joe Jackson and his teammates on the Kafkaesque 1919 White Sox magically appear and play a game on “the field of dreams.” Kafka and the Almighty Strikeout Kafka’s presence on the baseball diamond is signified by the relevance of his name to the game’s darker curiosities and by the fact that his authorial DNA is inscribed every time a pitcher pitches a strikeout and a scorer puts a K on the scorecard. When a strikeout pit che r is on a roll, the hometown fans hold up a series of placards, a veritable victory parade of Ks big enough to be seen by Kafka from his seat in the celestial bleachers. When I led off the first inning of this column by googling “Kafka and baseball,” the only hit was a lecture by Kafka scholar and Princeton resident Stanley Corngold, who grew up playing on the sandlots of Bensonhurst and “religiously, passionately” watches Yankee games every night. In Professor Emetitus Corngold’s “Aphoristic Form in Nietzsche and Kafka with an Aside from Inside Baseball,” the “aside” explores the possibility that “if baseball is taken as a language, then the baseball game is a composition,” and therefore “must belong to a genre,” which would be “Inside Baseball,” a common metaphor in politics “to describe background machinations.” At this point, Corngold pitches a quote

from baseball historian Bill James to the effect that “the Inside is a hall of mirrors,” which opens the free association gates not only to Kafka, but to Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock, and numerous other filmmakers with Kafkaesque leanings. Baseball at Morven If you peeked inside the rear window of the Sherwood-forest-green 2000 CRV parked the other day outside Morven Museum & Garden, you’d have seen a pair of elderly mitts and a well-scuffed, grass-stained vintage baseball, an inadvertent evocation of a display found inside Morven’s “New Jersey Baseball: From the Cradle to the Major Leagues, 18551915,” which will be on view through October 27. The ball in the glass case is c. 1876, the glove c. 1898. The ball in the CRV is a regulation Major League Spalding dating back to the mid-1960s; the fielder’s mitt was purchased for $5 at a Princeton garage sale in the mid-1980s, and the well-oiled, still supple c. 1950 trapper’s mitt was broken in during junior high sandlot games in Indiana and while playing pitch and catch and grounders with my son. On the passenger seat is a copy of Franz Kafka’s Diaries 1914-1923. Consider the possibilities. You’ve been engrossed in the Diaries. You have the upper story exhibit to yourself. You’re in a historic home built in 1730, where Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, lived from 1758 to 1781. Every move you make can be heard on floors that seem to be saying kafka kafka. Spectral players endlessly run the bases on the wall of one room as the Reading Phillies play the Newark Bears in The Ball Game, a 27-minute-long Edison film made in 1898, around the time the teenage Kafka was enrolled in a dance class, experiencing, in his biographer Reiner Stach’s words, “the dissonances he would seek to resolve in literature: the

antinomy of zest for life and fear of life.” How strange, if not Kafkaesque, to encounter a card showing Hall of Famer Cap Anson, the same player who hit four doubles in a game played the day Kafka was born, except that here his fame is shadowed by the fact that he refused to allow his White Stockings to take the field against a team that had two black players. It’s also hard not to think of the author of The Trial when you come to a diagram delineating the trajectory of a curve ball accompanied by a photo of Princeton pitcher Joseph Mann (Class of 1876). According to the exhibit’s companion volume, Joseph G. Zinn’s New Jersey Baseball (the cover pictured here), Mann was pitching in an intramural game when he released the ball “in a different manner” due to a blister on his finger. The result was a pitch “that curved,” which happened, Mann claimed, “because the top and bottom were moving at a speed of 100 feet/second in opposite directions.” After “working on the pitch all winter,” he used it the following season with “great success” that included a no-hitter against Yale. Writer to Writer n the framed photographs of the 1901 Princeton team, and the Rutgers teams of 1889 and 1893, the players with few exceptions look ready to play, fresh off the field, the dust of a game still palpable in the atmosphere. If Kafka were looking over my shoulder, he’d probably connect with the photograph of the Orange A.C. team from Newark, where the slightly built gentleman in civilian attire in the back row seems to have stepped into the image from a street in Prague or Berlin. As one who wrote in October 1921 that “life’s splendor forever lies in wait,” Kafka might also be struck by the charismatic individual on the far right of the front row, the young man leaning on his bat like a Galahad on his sword, staring at the cameras as if he were Don Juan zoning in on a conquest. The piercing intensity of Zane Grey’s gaze might remind the author of Amerika of his vision of the west in “The Nature Theatre of Oklahoma,” a passage that first appeared in print in 1913 and one that he was particularly fond of reading aloud. Here, on the Kafka-creaky 18th-century floors of Morven, he finds himself gazing into the eyes of the future author of Riders of the Purple Sage (1912), The Mysterious Rider (1921), and The Call of the Canyon (1924). —Stuart Mitchner

The next Morven event, “The Color Line on the Baseball Diamond,” on August 22 at 6:30 p.m., features historian and film producer Dr. Lawrence Hogan, Negro League All Star James Robinson, and poet Kevin Kane.

Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts Presents Contemporary String Quartet

lthough the violin, viola, and cello have changed little as instruments over the past century, music for this genre is continually evolving. Nowhere was this more evident this past week than in the Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts presentation of PUBLIQuartet, an ensemble of four musicians committed to stretching the instruments of the string quartet to new boundaries and stimulating new repertoire for the field. Violinists Curtis Stewart and Jannina Norpoth, violist Nick Revel, and cellist Hamilton Berry presented a program demonstrating that in the ensemble’s less than 10-year history, PUBLIQuartet has made a solid mark on American contemporary chamber music. PU B L IQ uar tet’s p er for mance las t Thursday night at Richardson Auditorium was far from the conventional string quartet concert in its focus on music from very recent decades. When the living American composer John Corigliano is the “old man” of composers represented, PUBLIQuartet’s commitment to the latest in string quartet composition was clear. The quartet of four string players performed two works of composers with Princeton University connections in Caroline Shaw’s 2012 Valencia and Shelley Washington’s 2016 Middleground. A vocalist, violinist, composer, and producer, Shaw studied composition at Princeton, and her one-movement Valencia was full of minimalism and dynamic variety. Rhythmic intensity was a key feature of this piece, and the players demonstrated a great deal of musical independence yet gelled as an ensemble when necessary. Missouri native Shelley Washington has developed a collaborative relationship with PUBLIQuartet over the past year while pursuing her Ph.D. at Princeton. Middleground seemed to musically capture the spaciousness of America’s heartland, with broad melodies and a country dance feeling. Violinists Stewart and Norpoth played with a hint of spirited bluegrass fiddling, as violist Revel provided an emotional soliloquy in the middle section. The cornerstone piece of the concert was apparently requested by the Summer Chamber Concerts programming commit-

tee. American composer John Corigliano wrote the five-movement string quartet “Farewell” for the 1995 final performance of the renowned Cleveland Quartet. The players of PUBLIQuartet described Corigliano’s work as “difficult in a unique way,” testing the limits of a conductorless ensemble and informed by string quartet composers from Beethoven to Shostakovich. Corigliano himself considered the string quartet ensemble to be both an “extraordinary medium” and an instrument unto itself, and composed a work which aimed to create a unity of sound that he felt could only be achieved by musicians playing together for years. Despite its relatively short history of performing, PUBLIQuartet was well up to Corigliano’s challenge. Throughout the five movements of “Farewell,” PUBLIQuartet displayed solid communication among each other, from the opening imperceptible string tones to the closing hollow sound of a solo cello. The first movement prelude emerged out of nothingness, with violinists Stewart and Norpoth periodically adjusting their instruments for particular effects. Where the first movement was ethereal and fragile, the driving intensity and ferocity of the second movement scherzo jarred the audience into rapt attention, with themes scurrying among the players. The middle section of the scherzo was marked by a sweet melody from first violin and pure tuning between the two violins together. One could easily discern the varying meters in the fourth movement, with cellist Berry clearly holding his own in a contrasting rhythmic style. The musicians ended Corigliano’s complex work in a haunting manner, certainly achieving the musical synchrony for which the composer was aiming. ith a program of exclusively contemporary music, PUBLIQuartet demanded focus and concentration from the audience members, especially those accustomed to hearing more familiar works in string quartet concerts. The reward of audience patience Thursday night was hearing a high level of technical skill and perhaps learning something new about string quartet repertoire in the process. —Nancy Plum

Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts will present its final performance of the season on Friday, July 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium, when the Rolston String Quartet will present music of Haydn, Ligeti, and Beethoven.

Griffin Collection Exhibit at PU Art Museum

Gillett G. Griffin (19282016) was not only a respected curator, scholar and collector but also a teacher at Princeton University, where he taught and curated for 52 years. “Legacy: Selections from the Gillett G. Griffin Collection” celebrates Griffin’s eclectic tastes through a selection of artworks and artifacts from the thousands that he gave to the Museum (at his death, over 2,500 works joined the gifts of art Griffin, who held the title of emeritus curator of Pre-Columbian and Native American Art at the Museum, had made to the Museum in his lifetime). Among the 55 works in the exhibition are Greek, Roman, Egyptian, ancient Near Eastern, Islamic, African, Chinese, Japanese, and Pre-Columbian antiquities; European and American prints, drawings and sculptures; and a handful of paintings and drawings that attest to Griffin’s own talents as an artist. The exhibition, organized by Curator of Ancient Art J. Michael Padgett, is on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from July 20 through October 6. “Thanks to Gillett’s great eye and ambitions as a curator, the Art Museum boasts one of the finest collections of the art of the ancient Americas in the world,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher– David J. Haemisegger, Class

wide-ranging curiosity, and our goal here is to share with the public something of that range, whether it landed on an ancient mummy portrait or a print by Winslow Homer.” The exhibition features such masterpieces as an expressive figure of a woman from Xochipala, Mexico (400 B.C.-A.D. 200), the tomb figure of an ox from the Egyptian Middle Kingdom (circa 1991-1786 B.C.), a 13th-century glazed bowl from Cyprus, a Roman mummy portrait of a young man (2nd century), a marble portrait of a king from Ptolemaic Egypt (3rd-2nd century B.C.), and a Maya figurine of the moon goddess and a rabbit (A.D. 600-800). Born in New York, Griffin grew up in Connecticut and attended Yale University’s School of Art. While still a student, Griffin began collecting art, which would inform his later scholarship and teaching. Griffin arrived at Princeton in 1952 as curator of graphic arts in the Princeton University Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections division and joined the Art Museum in 1967. He retired from the Museum in 2004 after 38 years, and bequeathed much of his own collection to the Museum. Griffin’s multiple trips to Mexico during his career yielded numerous finds, including the Juxtlahuaca cave in Guerrero, where numerous paintings in Olmec style are still preserved, and the rediscovery of Temple B at Río Bec, an archetypal Maya structure, which had eluded searchers since it had been lost after its initial discovery in 1912. The former discovery was featured in Life magazine and other international news outlets. Griffin maintained close ties to the greater Princeton community throughout his tenure at the University and was an accomplished painter and portraitist. Griffin also developed a close friendship with fellow resident Albert Einstein, who was a longtime member of the faculty at the Institute for Advanced Study. The Princeton University Art Museum is located at the heart of the Princeton campus. Admission is free. Museum hours are Tuesday,

and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The Blue Bears Special Meals Restaurant Opens in the Princeton Shopping Center

memorable dining experience awaits visitors to the new The Blue Bears Special Meals restaurant in the Princeton Shopping Center.

IT’S NEW To Us

Just opened in mid-May, it is already attracting enthusiastic diners for breakfast, lunch, and takeout. Not only does it offer an intriguing menu — often with an international flavor — but its underlying concept of encouraging and enabling young adults facing intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to find opportunities for learning and meaningful work sets it apart as a unique dining establishment. Founders Eric (president and chef) and Marie (vice president, outreach) Wimmer and Antoine (chairman) and Gaud (vice president) Yver wanted to start a new business that would be significant in a number of ways. They decided on a nonprofit restaurant, explains Eric Wimmer. Family Cooks “We were all looking for something meaningful to do,” s ays Wi m m er. A n toine’s oldest son Emmanuel, a young man with Down syndrome, is now 21 and out of school. We wanted to find something he could do and be involved in that would give him a good opportunity. Then we thought, ‘Why don’t we do what we always loved, something to do with cooking? ’ We are family cooks, who have always loved it.” Originally from France,

the Wimmers and Yvers have lived in the U.S. for many years, but a special French flair pervades the restaurant — from the decor to many of the dishes, including the traditional croissants and famous madeleine cookies. The charming setting features vibrant color combinations, banquette bench seating as well as individual tables, an open kitchen, and, displayed above, assorted pottery, bowls, and plates from Provence. The decor was the creation of Marie Wimmer and Celine Guillemot, reports Eric Wimmer. “Marie conceived the idea, and Celine, who is our point-of-sale host and upholsterer, put it together.” Its inviting ambiance is definitely a conversation piece among customers. The origin of the restaurant’s name is an interesting story, adds Marie Wimmer. “We wanted something to have meaning for what we are trying to accomplish. The bear has a powerful image, but it also is not always agile. However, it always has a friendly image, of course, with the idea of the teddy bear. We thought of blue because of our planet since it is known as the ‘blue planet.’” Fair Opportunity Gathering the staff focused on offering young adults with IDD (often with Down syndrome) a chance to find enjoyable and productive work. As The Blue Bears’ mission statement explains, its goal is to “create the conditions allowing persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be identified as productive and respected members of society at large.” This would be accomplished by “offering them a fair opportunity to develop and demonstrate their skills and talents through work and customer-

facing services earning them a living.” In addition, the goal is to “train the ‘bears’ to become cooks and food-quality lovers, allowing them professional development in our organization of elsewhere.” The Blue Bears also wants to “increase the public’s awareness of their capabilities and offer the Princeton community a new style of freshlybalanced meals and services that will help their ‘joie de vivre’ and health.” At the restaurant, under the guidance of Chef Wimmer and Chef Anne-Renee Rice-Soumeillant, the young employees are taught to “run the operation of a custom-ordered meal preparation and delivery service serving the community in which it operates.” “We have five young adults with IDD on our staff,” says Eric Wimmer, “and this is a learning process for them. They each have a private job coach who is with them during the learning process. We carefully define the job for them.” Various tasks include kitchen work for the prep section, such as peeling and cutting, he continues. “In the packaging section, they will put the food on the plates or into a package for takeout. They can also serve the dishes at the tables. Our procedure is for customers to self-order, and then we bring their order to the table. “In addition, there are general duties, such as cleaning, putting things away, and such. Emmanuel works with us in the kitchen, including the prep work, even rolling dough, and he is learning to do more. Recently, he helped make a pie.” International Touch The cuisine at the restaurant is varied and intriguing with an international touch. Choices include a variety of

TEAM WORK: “All our dishes are made from scratch, hand-done, and are fresh every day. Each day, we offer a different menu — simple, nourishing, and well-balanced.” The team at the new The Blue Bears Special Meals restaurant is pictured from left: Chef Anne-Renee RiceSoumeillant, Michael O’Brien, Chef Eric Wimmer, Megan Cloyes, and Emmanuel Yver. soups, salads, sandwiches, and quiches. Entrees offer one dish “from the sea,” one “from the land,” and one vegetarian option. “We have two types of breakfasts,” points out Eric Wimmer. “One is French-style with a baguette, or croissant, pain au chocolate, and cafe au lait. The other is Americanstyle, featuring bacon and eggs, or pancakes, or our steel cut oatmeal, and coffee or tea. Our coffee is Lavazza, very special from Italy, and our tea is from Le Palais de Thés.” Other beverages include Perrier and assorted sparkling water. The cuisine reflects the travel experiences and wide range of culinary knowledge of the founders, adds Wimmer. “We have traveled the world and have experienced many different cuisines. We have everything here — dishes can be French, Italian, American, Lebanese, or Greek. Every day, we offer a different menu. “I think in some ways, the customers are surprised by

us and what they find here, the variety. It can be hard to define us. For example, we are not a bakery, but we bake. Pies, tarts, international cookies, such as madeleines, and more.” Fresh Baguettes A recent sample menu included Spanish gazpacho or Asian chicken shrimp soups; Salad Poivrons with roasted peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and basil; or chickpeas with cumin, paprika, onion, and olive oil. A special lunch salad included avocado, mango, and chicken on mixed greens. Sandwiches made with fresh baguettes featured nitrate-free smoked ham with Gruyere cheese; nitrate-free turkey with cheddar cheese; and sliced tomato, mozzarella, lettuce, and pesto. Another sandwich choice was a vegetarian wrap with eggplant caviar, carrots, cucumber, and egg. A “land” wrap offered sliced chicken, julienne vegetables, and vinaigrette.

As a first-time visitor to The Blue Bears noted, “The food here is high quality and delicious. You can be sure I’ll be back!” Indeed, there are regulars already, and the Wimmers are very encouraged with the response. “People are coming and enjoying themselves here every day. They have been very supportive. We have a great location in the Shopping Center, with such convenient parking. And now in the nice weather, we also have tables outside. We can accommodate 40 customers with inside and outside seating. “I am really enjoying the work,” continues Eric Wimmer, “and I like meeting all the different people who come in. It is also a wonderful experience working with the IDD staff. This is really a gift, and I believe we are accomplishing something important.” The Blue Bears Special Meals is open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Takeout orders can be picked up until 5 p.m. (609) 915-1119.

Blossoming Into Star Receiver for PU Football, Carlson Now Aiming to Make Cleveland Browns

tephen Carlson seemingly came out of nowhere to emerge as a star receiver for the Princeton University football team in 2017. After having played JV as a freshman in 2015 and making 11 catches on varsity the next fall, Carlson grabbed six receptions for 94 yards and three touchdowns in Princeton’s 2717 win over San Diego in the 2017 season opener. While Carlson didn’t see himself making such a splash, he was ready to assume a leading role for the Tigers. “I knew I could play but I wasn’t expecting to come in with that big of a start,” said Carlson, a 6’4, 230-pound native of Jamestown, N.Y. “I was a little bit surprised with the stats. I realized that was a product of everything I had been doing the years before and the summer before. I really think it was inevitable with the way I felt about the season and the work we put in.” Princeton head coach Bob Surace sensed that Carlson could blossom into something special. “Guys develop at different times, just like everybody starts walking at different times,” said Surace. “For Steve, the jump was a little steep for him as a freshman and even as a sophomore. In his offseason before his spring ball in his sophomore year, he made this big jump in the weight room. We couldn’t cover him in practices and he just kept getting better and better.” Carlson kept getting better in his junior season, ending up with 71 receptions for 935 yards and 11 touchdowns as he earned second-team All-Ivy League honors. Last fall, he made 51 receptions for 683 yards and five touchdowns to help Princeton go 10-0, the program’s first perfect season since 1964. In late April, Carlson signed free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns of the NFL and is looking forward to starting training camp later this month. In reflecting on his road to the Browns, Carlson didn’t see the NFL as a possibility until after his breakout 2017 season. “Initially coach Surace put me on to it after my junior year,” said Carlson. “I had a good season, I had the size, I had the stats. It wasn’t like anything serious, it was just knowing you might be one of the guys. I was planning as I always had the last couple of years, just doing the most I could, working the hardest I could and just seeing what was going to happen my senior year. If it turned out to be a good season and I felt good, then I would push through to the next level. If something else happened, maybe I would pursue it.” Last fall turned out very well as the Tigers produced a season for the ages, producing perfection for the first time since the 1964 Tigers went 9-0. While the wins were sweet, Carlson’s most vivid memories of that special fall will center on the bonds with his teammates. “I think about the people we had around, like my friends group and all the guys on the team and how close we were,” said Carlson, who made second-team All-Ivy last fall for the

second straight season. “Obviously we were together a lot for practices and meetings, but it was how much we hung out together outside of the game. It was just having the closeness and the trust that the guy right next to me is working just as hard as me. That put a sense of confidence in me. It also made us trust each other and rely on the person next to you, knowing that they are putting just as much into it and they are caring just as much as I am. It makes you feel good and it makes you feel confident in what you need to go out and do.” With the NFL on his radar, Carlson put in a lot of work, training hard with Princeton football strength coach Mike Tufo, starting a week after the Tigers wrapped up their season. “I remember doing all of the combine drills very early and the first couple of times I was doing them, it felt so awkward, just learning the technique,” recalled Carlson, who realized by that point that the pro teams were looking at him as a tight end. “But because I started doing that stuff so early, by the time pro day came around, it felt natural. It was put as much strength on as I could, that was another thing for me. I was trying to put on a little bit of weight because I came out of the season a little under 225 and I was trying to get to 240 by pro day.” At the Princeton pro day in late March, Carlson posted some good numbers, weighing in at 240, running a 4.70 40-yard dash, pumping out 18 reps on the bench press at 225 pounds with a broad jump of 10’3 and a vertical jump of 32’ 1/2. While hoping to get selected in the NFL draft, Carlson found a good fit with the Browns as he quickly inked a deal with them. “I thought it was a possibility that maybe I would get chosen in the last round or two but I was pretty much expecting to not get drafted,” said Carlson. “The Browns had called me a couple of times before the draft and had expressed their interest and how they liked me as a player and how I would fit in It is close to my home town and Seth DeValve (former Princeton star) being there was a big plus. I knew he could help me out.” Surace wasn’t surprised that Carlson ended up with the Browns. “I think that the best fit is the team that values you the most and from day one, they valued him the most,” said Surace, who has two other players from the 2018 squad join NFL teams as John Lovett signed with the Kansas City Chiefs and Jesper Horsted signed with the Chicago Bears. “It is funny, some guys liked John, some guys liked Jesper, and some guys like Steve.” Making his Browns debut at the rookie minicamp held shortly after the draft, Carlson believes he showed his value. “It was a little nerve-wracking and intimidating at first, going from a smaller school and not having the highest interest coming in,” said Carlson. “Once I strapped on the helmet and starting running routes, I felt I was just as good or better than anybody out there. I calmed my nerves and figured

out all the mental stuff of the game.” Former Princeton star DeValve has been a calming influence on Carlson. “When I was first learning the playbook, I was texting him questions and he was helping me out,” said Carlson. “Even before that, when I was trying to put on some weight, I asked him what did you do to put on weight. He is helping me, giving me advice, making sure I am keeping my head up, and on the right track.” Taking the field at the organized team activities (OTAs) with such Cleveland stars as quarterback Baker Mayfield and superstar receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Carlson kept his head up. “It is fun experience, I have enjoyed every second of it so far,” said Carlson. “It was another nerve-wracking kind of thing. Once I got through rookie minicamp, I saw I can hang with the rookies but the vets have been here for so long. We will see how that goes. I was very pleasantly surprised

at how welcoming and nice overall all the veterans have been. When you are on the field, nobody cares who the big name guys are, if you are expected to do something, you have to go do it.” So far, Carlson has been doing well with the transition to tight end. “I am pretty good with all of the pass game stuff; some of the run blocking stuff is completely new to me,” said Carlson. “In the past four weeks, that is something I have had to focus on a lot, just the terminology and footwork and all the interior blocking.” In Surace’s view, Carlson can be a weapon at tight end on the NFL level. “He was a mismatch with us; we could put him at tight end and he was a mismatch on safeties,” said Surace. “One team had a shorter corner and we could put him outside and he would body guys up and go get it. That is not going to change, there are going to be 5’9 corners and he is still going to have a huge size advantage. He is going to go up against some safeties that are really run stopper types; that is part of his game. We are seeing

ON TO CLEVELAND: Stephen Carlson, right, fights past a Penn defender in action last fall during his senior season for the Princeton University football team. Star receiver Carlson made 51 receptions for 683 yards and five touchdowns in 2018 to help Princeton go 10-0, the program’s first perfect season since 1964. In late April, Carlson signed free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns of the NFL and is looking forward to starting training camp later this month. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) it right now.

sistently and knowing the playbook,” said Carlson. “Once I am confident in what to do, that is when I feel the best. I will run the best route or have the best block, knowing what to do and how the defense is going to look. It is showing my best ability, not being nervous, and not holding anything back. It is a big opportunity.” —Bill Alden

Princeton’s Collins, Wong Nominated for NCAA Award

Claire Collins '19 of the Princeton University open rowing team and Elise Wong ’19 of the Tiger field hockey squad have been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Collins, the 2019 C. Otto von Kienbusch Award winner, is a four-time Ivy League champion from the women's open first varsity eight. She is also a two-time All-American and All-Region rower, with those honors yet to be announced for 2019. In 2018, she was a firstteam All-American as the Tigers had their best finish, fifth, in six years at the NCAA Championships Grand Final. Collins has rowed with the varsity eight in each of her four seasons with Princeton, having lost just three regular-season meets, and none as a senior. At the most recent Ivy League championships, she helped Princeton win by nearly four full seconds. Collins, a native of McLean, Va., also participated with the United States at the U-23 World Championships in each of the last three years, picking up a silver medal in 2018. Wong, a finalist for the C. Otto von Kienbusch Award, is one of the most decorated field hockey players in Princeton history.

Established in 1991, the NCAA Woman of the Year award recognizes graduating female college athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service, and leadership throughout their collegiate careers. Conferences will select up to two nominees each from the pool of school nominees. Then, the Woman of the Year selection committee, made up of representatives from the NCAA membership, will choose the Top 30 honorees — 10 from each division. The selection committee will determine the top three honorees in each division from the Top 30 and announce the nine finalists in September. From those nine finalists, the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics then will choose the 2019 NCAA Woman of the Year. The Top 30 honorees will be celebrated and the 2019 NCAA Woman of the Year will be named at the annual award ceremony October 20 in Indianapolis.

PU Hoops Alum Maddox To Compete in Pan Am Games

After helping the U.S. earn its first FIBA 3x3 World Cup title last month in Amsterdam, Princeton University men’s basketball alum Kareem Maddox '11 has been named to the U.S. team at the Pan-Am Games near the end of July in Peru. The three-day event will start on July 27 with preliminary round games and ending with the semis and final on July 29. Maddox will have three new te a m mate s for t he event, playing alongside Dominique Jones, Sheldon Jeter, and Jon Octeus. It's the first time 3x3 basketball will be played at the PanAm Games, which are held every four years and were in Toronto in 2015.

Noah Lilienthal didn’t get off to a great start when he hit the court last fall for the Wesleyan University men’s tennis team in his freshman season. “One of the biggest challenges is that you want to impress your teammates and show them you have a really high level but at the same time also be there for them,” said Lilienthal, a former Princeton High star who won a first singles title at the Mercer County Tournament for the Tigers. “It was in the back of my head, I need to get good results so that everyone on my team respects me and all of that stuff. I lost a couple of matches I felt I could have won. I think it was because I was putting way too much pressure on myself.” By the time the spring season rolled around, Lilienthal had reached a comfort level and was primed to step up for the Cardinals. “The team had a really, really good offseason; in D-III you have a really long time period where there is no coaching allowed,” said Lilienthal. “It was really a time where the team can build their own culture when the coach isn’t there. We really clicked with each other. I was at a point where I couldn’t wait to just be part of a team dual match and see what it was like. I really loved the energy of playing with the team. Instead of just winning for myself, it is for everyone.” Lilienthal ended up helping Wesleyan win a lot of matches as it went 16 -5 and advanced to the NCAA D-III team quarterfinals. Lilienthal enjoyed a great finish to his debut campaign, going on to compete in the NCAA D-III Doubles Championship where he and sophomore teammate Adrian Roji placed second, becoming the first Wesleyan duo to achieve that feat. “I felt like I had no choice but to bring out my best game because I was always eager to get a point out for the team,” said Lilienthal. “Every day, I had chances to win. I thought that was a positive thing for me starting at No 4 singles.” The fifth-ranked Cardinals were focused as they headed into the D-III team competition.

“It was pretty thrilling, I remember one night our coaches got us together and we went to dinner and they took our phones away,” said Lilienthal. “It was tough but we came up with a lot of good energy because none of us were stuck to our phones and the media stuff and the twitter stuff. We were just focusing on each other and I think that is when we are the best.” In the NCAAs, Wesleyan defeated John Carroll 5-0 and topped No. 11 Kenyon 5-2 to advance to the quarterfinals where they fell to 5-2 to sixth-ranked Middlebury. Bouncing back from the setback, Lilienthal and Roji turned their attention to the D-III doubles tourney. “There were some nerves and some doubt because we had never been in that situation, but we both thought just to go for it, this is our last hurrah of the season,” said Lilienthal. “O u r te a m m ate s were there and that had stayed after our team tournament and I fed off the energy that was coming from Wesleyan. Also, the women’s team had just won the national championship so there was a lot of energy coming into the tournament.” In addition to that energy, the duo of Lilienthal and Roji drew on the chemistry they had developed before they even came to Wesleyan. “I think he has best hands in all of D-III and D-I tennis as far as I know,” asserted Lilienthal, noting he and New Hope, Pa. native Roji had been playing together since childhood in the junior circuit. “My serve is good enough to always get into those volleys that way. We complement each other with tennis and the fact that we have know each other for so long, we know what to say to each other when we are in tough situations and then make each other relax.” Af ter topping tandems from Johns Hopkins in the first round, Skidmore in the quarters, and WashU in the semis, Lilienthal and Roji lost a tight three-setter in the final to Bowdoin’s Grant Urken and Jerry Jiang, who prevailed 7-5, 1-6, 6-4.

“I didn’t realize how big the stage was going to be, seeing the stands and the chair umpires; it was very official,” said Lilienthal. “The third set was tough. Grant has a ginormous serve so we had to take our chances on our returns. At the end of the day, it was just two or three points here or there. We could have executed a bit better.” At the end of the season, Lilienthal garnered a slew of honors, getting named as both the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) and ITA Division III Rookie of the Year and earning All-American honors in doubles along with Roji. “It is definitely reassuring, I am happy I won those awards,” said Lilienthal, who had a 17-3 record in doubles and went 14-3 overall in singles, playing at No. 4 and No. 3. “I also think that there are a lot of guys on our team and around the nation that were just as deserving of the awards. I was just really happy to be in these high pressure situations and execute at a pretty high level. At the end of the day, those awards are just icing on the cake. It was nice that I was recognized for the level I was playing at.” Over the summer, Lilienthal will be entering local tournaments to keep his game sharp. “I will play some tough competition and develop some more resilience when I am playing against a tough opponent,” said Lilienthal, who will be doing research for a law firm and spending time practicing on the saxophone, as he is also an award-winning jazz soloist. “Training for tennis will be a large component of my summer.” L o ok i ng a h e ad to h is sophomore season, Lilienthal is hoping that increased resilience will help him to be more assertive for the Cardinals. “My freshman year, I was along for the ride,” said Lilienthal. “I played well and I attribute that a lot to my team. This year, we have a lot of guys going abroad in the fall. It is going to be tough for the team, but I hope it gives me an opportunity to develop a leadership role in the team and not just sit back but make a mark.” —Bill Alden

After Enjoying Superb Senior Season for BC Baseball, PDS Alum Alu Picked in MLB Draft, Now in Minors Jake Alu brought a special sense of urgency into his final campaign for the Boston College baseball team. A f te r a b r e a k t h r o u g h sophomore season in 2017 which saw former Princeton Day School star Alu hit .331 and earn All-New England honors, he slumped as junior with his batting average plummeting to .216. “I had like a little fire under my feet, I wanted to prove that my sophomore year was not a fluke,” said Alu, a 5’10, 175-pound infielder. “I wanted to have a strong senior season and potentially get a chance to play pro baseball.” Mission accomplished on both counts as Alu batted a team-high .343 to get named as an All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC ) performer and was selected in the 24th round of the MLB draft last month by the Washington Nationals. Getting off to a strong start this spring, Alu went 10-for-18 for a .555 clip in his first five games. “It is not pivotal but it helps me. You are only climbing and feeling good going in,” said Alu. “You are not worr ying that I am 1-for-10 and I am batting .100 right now. You have 10 at-bats and you go 3-for-3 and you are batting .300.” Although Alu hit some rough spots in the middle of the campaign, he didn’t let that worry him. “In my senior season when I was struggling a little bit, I knew I had to get back to the simple things,” explained Alu. “I learned how to fix my swing and have a simpler approach when I was struggling and minimize that bad stretch instead of letting it pile on.” As the Eagles went 31-27 overall, Alu savored competing in the high-powered ACC. “The Florida State series was really fun; it is always fun playing there, the atmosphere there is incredible,” recalled Alu. “We were able to take two out of three from them, we had 41 hits as a team so that stood out. I think the ACC tournament game was a big highlight for me and for the team, just to prove that the small ACC team which is supposed to be at the bottom of the pack is able to play in the ACC semifinals. That was pretty cool.” Reflecting on his BC career, Alu is proud of his growth on and off the field. “The coach, Mike Gambino, cares more about the person that you become rather than the player,” said Alu, who ended his BC career with a .302 average, 176 hits, and 105 runs.

“He likes both but he really tried to shape you as a man. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I have learned about life and baseball though college. I think it was a great choice for me to go to BC.” As Alu went through the spring, he took steps to achieve his goal of going on to pro ball. “There is a prospect portal from MLB; it simplifies things, there are questions on line and I filled out a bunch of those for a fair amount of teams,” said Alu. “I knew I was on the radar of some teams. As a senior… you don’t have leverage, so you are in the dark going into the draft. I kind of knew that I was going to get chance to play. I didn’t know when I would be drafted. It could have went earlier, it could have went a lot later.” Following the draft from home in Hamilton, Alu and his family were thrilled to hear his name called by the Nationals. “I w a s n’t w atc h i n g i t specifically; I was sitting on the couch in the living room and I just heard my mom scream,” said Alu. “At first, just getting drafted was the coolest thing in the world. It was a dream come true to get a chance to play a game and get paid for it. I had no clue it was

going to be by the Nationals, that was cool. Their facilities are incredible, they have the newest complex down here in West Palm out of any minor league team and my best friend growing up, Anthony Peroni, is on the Nationals.” Having been assigned by the Nationals to play for their Auburn ( N.Y.) Doubledays affiliate, a Class A Short Season team that competes in the New York– Penn League, Alu is looking to utilize his versatility, having played outfield as well as infield during his college career. “T hat was one of t he t h ings t hey really liked about me, being a utility guy,” said Alu, who is batting .400 with 10 hits in 25 at-bats in seven games for the Doubledays. “Being able to play anywhere, it helps you move up the system a lot easier because there is leeway where they can put you and get you in the lineup. I am probably going to play most leg infield positions besides first and in the outfield if someone needs a break.” Aiming to someday play in the Majors, Alu is bringing his customary sense of urgency to Auburn. “The goals are set, I am just going to keep working,” said Alu. “I am a smaller guy so I have always had that fire to prove people wrong. I am carrying that along with me.” —Bill Alden

SPRING REVIEW

PHS Track’s Wildberg, Girls’ Lax Star Lopez-Ona Earn the Nod as Town Topics’ Spring Standouts

ils Wildberg ended the winter track season by making history. Despite being hampered by a nagging knee injury, the Princeton High senior placed first in the inaugural NJSIAA Indoor Meet of Champions Long Jump Showcase in late February, becoming the first PHS individual state champion in 36 years, joining Peter Sharpless (two titles - outdoor high jump 1980 and 1981) and Stephen Fletcher (four titles - 55 hurdles indoors and 110 hurdles outdoors in both

1982 and 1983) as the only three boys athletes to ever achieve a state crown. “You have to be in that right mindset for success,” said Wildberg, reflecting on his title. “I jumped surprisingly well for training that little. That day I guess I was just mentally strong. I had worked extra hard the fall and the beginning of winter and knew I’d have a chance to take the title indoors. I guess you could say I was bouncing off the walls.” PHS associate head coach

WILD FINISH: Princeton High boys’ track senior star Nils Wildberg displays the medal he earned for winning the inaugural NJSIAA Indoor Meet of Champions Long Jump Showcase in February. The Dartmouth College-bound Wildberg enjoyed a big spring season for the Tigers. He culminated his PHS career by making history at the New Balance National Championships in Greensboro, N.C., leaping to personal best of 24’ 3.5, good for a school and Mercer County all-time record as he earned All-America status.

Ben Samara credited Wildberg’s title to his will to win. “To not have the training and practice time in, I was very concerned about rust, but he has an incredible determination to get things done,” said Samara. “He wanted to be state champion. He was determined to get it done and he did. Displaying that determination, Wildberg was able to build on that momentum once the spring rolled around, excelling in the sprints as well as the long jump. At the Mercer Count y Championships, Wildberg won the long jump. Two weeks later, Wildberg starred at the Group 4 Central Jersey sectional meet, winning the long jump and taking second in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes. “Nils is getting ready to do some big things. If we are going to win the group meet, it is going to be on his back,” said Samara after the sectional. “He had the eighth fastest 100 time in the state and the fifth fastest 100 time in the state, not to mention what he does in the long jump. He has blossomed into an all-around stud.” While PHS fell one point short of the team title at the state Group 4 meet as host Franklin scored 44 points and the Tigers getting 43, Wildberg did some big things. He won the long jump with a personal best of 23’11 and took fourth in both the 100 and 200 meters. At the Meet of Champions,

Wildberg fell short of his high standards, placing second in the long jump with a leap of 22’ 6 in a competition that was contested on a sub-varsity runway into a headwind. Undaunted, the Dartmouth College-bound Wildberg ended his PHS career by making history at the New Balance National Championships in Greensboro, N.C., leaping to personal best of 24’ 3.5, good for a school and Mercer County all-time record as he earned All-America status. Wildberg’s perseverance and self-belief helped pave the way to his success. “Learning to trust yourself and at the same time, believing everything will work out for you,” said Wildberg. When you have an injury like this, you really learn a lot about your body and yourself mentally.” For starring in the sprints and jumps and making history in the process, Wildberg is the choice as the Town Topics’ top male performer of the spring high school season. Mariana Lopez-Ona will never forget this spring and her final campaign with the PHS girls’ lax program “This has been my favorite season with a team,” said senior star midfielder LopezOna. “It is such a good group of girls.” PHS first-year head coach Meg Reilly was thrilled to have Lopez-Ona in the group. “We have Mariana with her goal scoring skills and her defensive skills as well, a lot of times she can get an interception or cause a turnover from low defense and bring

ON A ROLL: Princeton High girls’ lacrosse player Mariana Lopez-Ona races upfield in action this spring. The Michiganbound Lopez-Ona helped PHS win the sectional title and make the MCT final on the way to an 18-3 record.

it all the way up. She is also fantastic at the draw.” With Lopez-Ona displaying her skill set and piling up amazing stats in the process, PHS was a force from the start of the season. The Tigers opened 2019 by routing WW/P-South 19-6 as Lopez-Ona tallied six goals and two assists. That win set the tone as the squad’s multifaceted attack rolled past one foe after another. The Tigers catapulted into the state Top 20 rankings, topping such formidable foes as Allentown (16-15 on April 11), Notre Dame (12-6 on April 8), Hunterdon Central (25-14 on April 25), and Clearview (13-11 on April 29). Along the way, Lopez-Ona passed the 300-goal mark in her career. While she was proud of achieving that milestone, she was more focused on the team being on the same page. “Our best games are when we all play together and when we use every single person on the field,” said Lopez-Ona. “When we had that run, everyone was contributing and everyone was working hard. We just need to make sure that everyone is up on that level.” In the Mercer County Tournament, PHS was seeded second and displayed that high level of play as it routed WW/P-North 20-7 and Allentown 14-8 to advance to its first county final since 2014. Although the Tigers ended up falling to two-time defending champion and topseeded Lawrenceville 13-7 in the championship game, Lopez-Ona was a bright spot for PHS, scoring three goals and battling hard on draws. After that setback, LopezOna was confident that the Tigers could rebound with a deep run in the state tournament. “Everyone needs to leave it our on the field, all 11 players need to be pushing themselves to the absolute limit,” said Lopez-Ona. “Coming into it, we know we can compete. It is making sure that we keep our level up and don’t underestimate anyone.” Competing hard, PHS earned its second straight Central Jersey Group

4 sectional title, defeating Hightstown 17-3 and Howell 21-4 to set up a title game rematch with Rancocas Valley. Lopez-Ona came up big once again for the Tigers, dominating the draw controls and contributing three goals as PHS pulled away to a 10-5 win. The Tigers saw their state run halted in the Group 4 semis as the fell 9-8 to Eastern to end the spring with an 18-3 record with Lopez-Ona tallying a goal and an assist in her finale. Those two points gave the Michigan-bound Lopez-Ona 130 points on 98 goals and 32 assists this spring. As a result, she ended her unforgettable career with a total of 417 points on 317 goals and 100 assists. Due to her glittering stats and clutch play in leading PHS to a second straight sectional crown, Lopez-Ona gets the nod as the top female performer this spring. Top Newcomers arson Applegate was a highly touted player before he ever played an inning for the Hun School baseball team. Joining the Hun program this spring, the precocious Applegate had already committed to attend Kentucky and play for its Division I baseball program that competes in the high-powered SEC. Applegate lived up to the hype, batting leadoff and starting in center field, performing like a seasoned veteran from day one. “As long as I fit into the team, whatever works best for team,” said Applegate. “We are practicing everyday and getting better as a team, working to be the best we can.” Proving to be one of the best players on the team, Applegate hit .381 with 24 hits, 28 runs, and 11 RBIs as he helped Hun win its fourth straight state Prep A title and post a 22-2 record. Applegate’s older brother, former Hun star Jason Applegate, a senior pitcher for Villanova, helped the freshman aspire to do big things. “My brother is a huge

Tournament, the Tigers defeated WW/P-North 20-7 and Allentown 14-8 to make its first trip to the final since 2014. “This team truly loves each other,” said Reilly, after the win over Allentown in the county semi. “We still have the cohesive unit that powers us through it very time. They truly believe in each other, they trust each other. That is all that matters, that is the biggest thing for us.” The Tigers ended up falling to two-time defending champion and top-seeded Lawrenceville 13-7 in the championship game but rebounded with a run to the program’s second straight Central Jersey Group 4 sectional title. “It is amazing; the girls have worked so hard,” said Reilly in the wake of PHS’ 10-5 win over Rancocas Valley in the sectional final.

“They know each other’s strengths even better, they set each other up better. The more time we have together, the better we get. These six seniors (Serena Bolitho, Kathryn DeMilt, Megan Mavoides, Morgan Mavoides, Olivia Intartaglia, and Mariana LopezOna) are so special, I never want this season to end.” While the season ended with a heartbreaking 9-8 loss to Eastern in the state Group 4 semis, Reilly was thrilled with how her girls fought to the end. “I am proud of the way they play together as a team, 18-3 is an incredible record,” said Reilly. “They never stop hustling.” Bringing an incredible school spirit to her new role and inspiring her players to never quit, Reilly gets the nod as the top coach of a female team. —Bill Alden

assistant coach for the program over the last four years “I have always loved Princeton; I was absolutely in love with my high school experience,” said Reilly who succeeded Sara Doran. “I got to play so many sports, sing a cappella and just do so much at once. I loved the atmosphere of PHS.” W h i l e Re i l l y, a 2014 Muhlenberg grad, wasn’t seeking a promotion, she threw herself into the head coaching role. “I wasn’t itching to do it yet but the opportunity presented itself,” said Reilly, a thirdgrade teacher at Riverside Elementary. “Once I got the opportunity, then I realized how much I wanted it.” Blending some talented freshmen with a group of battle-tested veterans, Reilly had PHS on the winning track from the beginning as the Tigers posted a 14-1 regular season record. Once postseason play rolled around, PHS kept excelling. In the Mercer County

influence on me,” said Applegate. “He always pushes me to be the best I can and I look up to him. He is my mentor.” Hun head coach Tom Monfiletto not surprised that Applegate was an influential player in his debut campaign. “He is such a great athlete and he is aggressive,” said Monfiletto. “With him in the one hole, you can’t relax. If you put one over when he is at bat, he is going to go after it and he is going to get on base.” For making an immediate impact as Hun enjoyed another championship campaign, Applegate is the choice as the top male newcomer. Even though Jaelyn Bennett was a freshman, she brought tons of experience to the Stuart Country Day School lacrosse team. “The kid is competing, she plays year round,” said Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik. “She is passionate about the game and she has put in a lot of time and effort to be able to do what she does out there. She has great talent, she brought great knowledge of the game to all of us and shared all of that. B en net t’s game s ens e helped her emerge as a versatile performer, helping Stuart overcome a 1-4 start to finish with 6-7 record, advancing to the second round of the Mercer County Tournament and the state Prep B quarters along the way. “Jaelyn can play pretty much anywhere on this field and she is going to contribute no matter where she is,” said Bruvik. “She can find the back of that cage and she has got the speed to beat the defense. She was a force on attack. She scored over 40 goals and was our leading scorer.” Bennett’s savvy and productivity make her the pick as the top female newcomer Top Coaches oe Moore knew he was filling some huge shoes as he took the helm of the Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse team. Having never been a head coach, the former Syracuse men’s lax star Moore faced a challenge in succeeding Rich

A relieved Moore was proud to extend the program’s county dominance. “I have the ultimate respect for Rich and what he has done for this program,” said Moore, who led the Panthers to a final record of 13-3. “It is a goal I had since I stepped into this program to continue winning the Mercer County Tournament. It is a weight off of my shoulders to get this win. It really comes down to my coaching staff and these kids. They have played their butts off all year and they deserve every piece of this.” Reflecting on his first season, Moore relished the community feeling around the Panther program. “The thing I most like is that we are tiny and we really are a family and we play together,” said Moore. “It is a winning tradition.” For keeping that winning tradition intact in his debut campaign at the helm of the PDS program, Moore is the top coach of a male team this spring. For Meg Reilly, becoming the head coach of the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team was a dream job. The 2010 PHS alumna had played field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse during her high school days and was an

D’Andrea, who had guided PDS to a state Prep B title and three straight Mercer County Tournament crowns. “I have my style that I got from Syracuse; if we can push transition, we are going to push transition,” said Moore, 30, who served as an assistant for PDS during the 2018 season. “I tell the kids all the time that everybody on the field needs to be comfortable scoring goals. Our defenseman practice shooting, our goalies practice shooting, everybody is involved.” The Panthers got off to a rough start, losing two of their first four games, getting defeated 13-5 at Hun in its opener and falling 15-12 to Lawrenceville in its fourth outing. “It is going to be about how we respond to adversity, we don’t play 100 kids; we have a small number of kids so we need everybody to do their part day in, day out,” said Moore. “The key to success for us is going to be when we hit those hard points in games or in the season in general and how we respond. I have told them a million time ‘KYP’ - know your personnel, know your teammates. It is knowing the other other guys strong points and weak points and making adjustments accordingly.” Displaying a steady hand and upbeat approach, Moore helped the Panthers get on the winning track as they reeled off eight straight wins heading into postseason play. In the MCT, the top-seeded Panthers rolled past PHS 18-3 and Robbinsville 17-5 on the way to the title game. Fac i n g s e c on d - s e e d e d Notre Dame in the final, the Panthers found themselves trailing 6-4 at halftime, leaving rookie coach Moore a little nervous. “I am not going to lie, I was definitely concerned,” said Moore. “We were faced with adversity. We were hoping to go out with a quick start. All of the respect to Notre Dame, they rattled us right off the bat. We had to make a lot adjustments on the fly.” Those adjustments helped make the difference as PDS rallied to pull out a 7-6 win and a fourth straight MCT crown.

With Troy Jones Leading the Way in the Backcourt, NJ Spiritwear Produces 5-0 Start in Summer Hoops N.J. Spiritwear emerged as a force last year in making its debut in the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League. The squad advanced to the best-of-three championship series against Loyaltees and forced a decisive third game before falling 76-60. Back for a second year in the league, Troy Jones and his teammates have benefited from having that season under their belts. “We know everybody and we know how most people play, so it is not like we are coming in here blind,” said star guard Jones. “We know who the shooters are and who can dribble and finish. We just know what they could do last year and use it to take away their strengths and work on their weaknesses.” Last Monday evening at the Community Park courts, NJ Spiritwear utilized that savvy against Sakana, pulling away to a 56-50 win in a contest that was knotted at 25-25 at halftime.

“We were in a full court press in the beginning; it was working then they figured out how to break it,” said Jones. “After that we went back to man and periodically switched defenses up. Defense and rebounding made the difference. They were killing us on the boards in the first half.” Jones killed Sakana in the last minute, draining four straight free throws and hitting a key bucket as N.J. Spiritwear improved to 5-0. “I didn’t want to lose this game, it was pretty close,” said Jones, who ended up with a team-high 13 points in the victory. “They kept scoring really fast, so I was ‘OK, I have to hit something.’” While Jones was happy to step up down the stretch on Monday, he is looking to spread the wealth this summer. “Last year, my role was score basically,” said the 6’0, 170-pound Jones, a former standout at Notre Dame High who is a redshirt junior on

the East Stroudsburg University men’s hoops team. “I feel this year I can facilitate more and scoring doesn’t have to come from me. We have the depth, I can rely on my teammates more this year.” That depth will be tested next Monday evening when the first place Spiritwear team faces Loyaltees (4-1) in a title series rematch. “That is my revenge game,” said Jones. “I am just ready to play. I have been waiting for them all season. It is going to be a good game.” —Bill Alden

Elinor “Ellie” Rosenthal Kraut Elinor “Ellie” Rosenthal Kraut, 91, died Sunday at her home in Aventura, Florida. Born in Princeton, NJ, she grew up in Princeton and lived in the Trenton area for most of her adult life. Elinor graduated from Princeton High School in 1946, where she captained the basketball and baseball teams. She graduated with a degree in psychology from Smith College in 1950, where she was captain of the baseball team and president of its Hillel Chapter. After graduation, she worked as a social worker for the State of New Jersey. In 1954 she married Dr. Irving Kraut, a successful orthodontist in Trenton. The couple lived above his office on West State Street for several years, then moved to Lawrence in 1957 shortly before the birth of their third child. There, the family grew to eight children, and in 1969 they moved to Ewing, where the family was completed with the birth of a ninth child. The family were

renceville, NJ, Gary Kraut of Paris, France, Dr. Eric Kraut of Pikesville, MD, and Dr. Robert Kraut of Orlando, FL; 25 grandchildren; 18 greatgrandchildren and counting; and a sister, Marilyn Rosenthal. Funeral ser vices are Wednesday, July 3, 12:30 p.m. at Orland’s Ewing Memorial Chapel, 1534 Pennington Road, Ewing Township. Burial to follow at Fountain Lawn Memorial Park. Memorial contributions may be made in her name to National Junior Tennis and Learning of Trenton, (njtloftrenton.org), and to Greenwood House, (greenwoodhouse.org), a network of senior living, care, and service based in Ewing.

lo, her father, Franco Caccaviello, and her brother, Pasquale Caccaviello. Geraldine is survived by her husband of 66 years, Dr. Genuino Nazzaro; her children, Emma Nazzaro Syka, Sandra Nazzaro Sturla, Carl Nazzaro, Lillian Nazzaro, Silvana Nazzaro Clark; her sister, Luisa Fiore of Bethlehem, PA; and their families. Although her childhood to adolescent years were marked by the harrowing experience of living in war torn Italy during WWII; it was then when she met the love of her life, a charming young medical student in town, Genuino. After her return to the States and long courtship across the Atlantic, Geraldine and Genuino were reunited and married on March 19th, 1953 in Chuisano, Italy. Together they voyaged to the U.S. on the Andrea Dorea, arriving on Ellis Island and eventually moved to Princeton in 1964. A longtime resident of Princeton, “Dina” acted upon her strong spiritual life and family values in the Catholic faith. She was a loving mother and wife, a talented artist and opera singer, always opening her home with her bright smile, loving heart, and unforgettable meal. She had a passion for the arts, Italian cuisine, and being in the lively company of her family and friends. She especially loved singing Italian lullabies to her grandchildren in their early years and teaching them her cooking techniques and recipes in their later years. Her unconditional love, creativity, and passion inspired her children and grandchildren to develop and pursue their own passion and steadfast commitment to family. In addition, Geraldine was one of the founding members

of the Italian Club of Princeton, a group of Italian and American women and Italophiles who have continued their fellowship, sharing an appreciation of Italy, its people, its ideals, and cultural traditions. Known as “Nonna” to her 12 grandchildren, Blaze, Luke, Matteo, Dylan, Alex, Andrew, Francesca, Madeleine, Gianluca, Nicholas, Russell, and Anabella, she has left a rich legacy to the Nazzaro family and local community. For those who wish to say their farewell, the Viewing is Wednesday, July 3, from 8-10 a.m. at Mather Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Ave., Princeton, NJ. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10:30 a.m. at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, 216 Nassau Street, Princeton, followed by interment at the Princeton Abbey and Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the “Geraldine Nazzaro Scholarship Fund” at Princeton Junior School.

members of Adath Israel Congregation. She learned tennis from her father, the late Samuel Rosenthal, while in her teens and the sport would become a lifelong passion. She played and coached tennis until the age of 90. She won numerous tournaments in Trenton, Princeton, and Mercer County throughout in the 1950s and 1960s in both singles and doubles, including in partnership with her sister Marilyn Rosenthal. In 1962 she began teaching tennis at the Trenton YWCA and also taught at the Ewing Adult School and on her own court in Ewing. She instilled a love for the game in all of her children and in the hundreds of players she coached through the years. In 1968 the family was featured in World Tennis Magazine. In 2016 the National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) of Trenton honored her at their annual gala as one of a group of “Women who Rock.” In 2018 her children and tennis friends presented her with an award commemorating 56 years of coaching tennis.

DONʼT FORGET TO VOTE FOR US - BEST LANDSCAPER

“

After 22 seasons in the NFL, including two championships with the New York Giants, you can believe that I’ve had my fair share of injuries. What’s important to me now is staying healthy, playing with my son, and staying active without pain.

Through my years I’ve seen a lot of orthopedic and pain management doctors and I’ll allow only the best doctors on my team. That’s why now, I trust the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center to keep me out of pain and on my game without resorting to surgery or dangerous medications. The doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center are incredible. They take their time and they listen to you whether you play on a team or sit in an office. They work with you to craft a treatment plan to achieve your goals safely and quickly. Look, I live close to NYC and Philadelphia, and I could go anywhere in the world for my orthopedic care. After seeing scores of doctors, it just doesn’t get any better than the team at Princeton Spine and Joint Center. If you have pain and you want to stay active, be pain-free and receive cutting edge care, call them now and get on the road back to the active life you want to lead.
