As new case numbers of COVID-19 continue to rise locally, statewide, and across the country, health department officials are struggling to gain perspective on the resurgent pandemic and to devise strategies to combat its frequently changing manifestations. As of Monday, August 2, the Princeton Health Department reported an increase in new COVID-19 cases to 10 in the past seven days, 14 in the past 14 days in Princeton. On Tuesday, the state of New Jersey reported an additional 1,173 COVID-19 cases, with a seven-day average of 977 new cases, more than four times the average a month ago. “We are beginning to witness how COVID-19 will affect our lives longterm,” wrote Princeton Health Officer Jeff Grosser in an August 3 email. “Variants are likely to continue to emerge, and with each new strain new precautions, or existing precautions, may be put back into place to curb new disease transmissions.” Grosser pointed out that Princeton is dealing with problems similar to those throughout the state, with an uptick in infections and the Delta variant now accounting for about 86 percent of new infections in New Jersey. He described some of the challenges facing his department. “A major role of epidemiology is to provide a clue to changes that take place over time in the health problems we are experiencing as a community,” he wrote. “With a novel virus it’s likely that what worked last month may or may not work this month. What works in one city for disease prevention may not work in another.” Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of the Delta variant, he added, “We need to draw up another play in the playbook depending on how we expect a disease to interact with the community next.” He continued, “Our focus has been and will continue to be identifying subgroups within the population who are at high risk for disease. We need to remember that the COVID-19 vaccine’s main purpose is to reduce hospitalization and death, which it has.” The Princeton Health Department continues to monitor COVID-19 community transmission levels, the Delta variant, and vaccination coverage levels.

No Injuries in Fire at Princeton Seminary An early morning fire on Tuesday, August 3 at Lenox House, a 19th century building that houses faculty offices at Princeton Theological Seminary, sent flames through the roof and closed surrounding streets for several hours while news helicopters whirled overhead. No one was in the building at the time, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation. This was the second time in the past four days that a two-alarm fire has broken out in Princeton’s Western Section. Just after 4 a.m. on Saturday, July 31, a fire was reported in the garage of a residence on Armour Road. There were no injuries. The blaze is under investigation. Princeton Theological Seminary Security contacted the Princeton Police Department at 5:11 a.m. on Tuesday to report the Lenox House fire. The Princeton Fire Department and Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad were dispatched, and found flames shooting through the roof of the building and on the third floor. Mutual aid came from Princeton Plasma Physics Lab’s fire department, and from fire departments of Plainsboro, Princeton Junction, Rocky Hill, Kingston, Lawrenceville, Hopewell, Montgomery #1 and #2, and Monmouth Junction, as well as a recall of the career firefighter staff. The blaze was put

under control by 7:11 a.m. Carolyne Murff, who lives across the street, woke up at 5:30 a.m. to see flames shooting through the roof of Lenox House. “The police were already there. Then everything went kind of crazy,” she said. “It started in the back of the house. I took pictures from the corner of my yard.” Murff was especially impressed with the quick response to the situation from neighboring fire departments. “I was just amazed at the way people came out to

help,” she said. “To watch them all come together and do it on a volunteer basis … it is very stressful for those guys doing that.” Lenox House is one of four distinctive buildings on the corner of Stockton Street and Library Place. It is considered to be architecturally significant. According to information from the Historical Society of Princeton, it was built between 1878 and 1879 and designed by architect Richard Continued on Page 8

Vision for Witherspoon Street Corridor Highlights Joint Effort Safe Streets Event The future of the Witherspoon Street corridor and the future of the Witherspoon-Jackson community were in the spotlight as Joint Effort WitherspoonJackson Princeton Safe Streets 2021 moved into high gear on Monday, August 2 with a reception and community program. “This is a work in progress for discussion and input, not a final design,” said architect and Studio Hillier Principal J. Robert (Bob) Hillier, a Town Topics shareholder, in presenting his plan with PowerPoint, photos, and design illustrations for the restoration of the neighborhood. “There was a great community here,”

he continued. “Shirley [Satterfield] tells the story better than anyone. It was a proud community. What we’re going to do architecturally is return it to being a proud community, where everybody can afford to live and live here nicely.” In addition to Hillier’s presentation, the program, at Studio Hillier on Witherspoon Street, featured remarks by a number of local elected officials; tributes to Hillier and his wife, Studio Hillier Principal Barbara Hillier; and a mayoral proclamation of appreciation honoring Joint Effort Witherspoon-Jackson Princeton Safe Streets for its contributions to the community over Continued on Page 13

“The Art of the Dog” Is Returning to Morven

When she isn’t overseeing exhibits at Morven, Debra Lampert-Rudman, the museum’s curator of education and public programs,

is breeding, showing, and painting dogs — her own, mostly, but also on commission. Canines and the art they inspire are more than just a hobby for Lampert-Rudman. She is a breeder of cocker spaniels, and currently owns four. One of her dogs came in second in t he Grand Champion category at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last year.

L amper t- Rudman has show n her ar t work at a Ma n hat t a n ga l ler y, a n d h a s t a u g h t fo r s e v e r a l years at the Arts Council of Princeton. Last winter, she led a virtual workshop at Mor ven inspired by the animal portraiture in the museum’s exhibition, “In Nature’s Realm : The Ar t of Gerard Rugers Hardenbergh.” She’ll offer the three-hour workshop again on August 21. This time, it will be in person at Morven’s Stockton Education Center. “This will be the first event we’ve had up close [since the pandemic],” Lampert-Rudman said last week. “We’ll be super spaced out in the gathering space.” Registrants have until August 10 to sign up. “I need to know in advance, because each person gives me a photo of their dog,” she said. “Then I provide them with a traced image on archival watercolor paper, and we all learn how to use watercolor pencil and brush techniques. Last time, the results were incredible and everyone was pretty happy with how their dogs came out.” L amper t- Rudman has been creating her art since she was a small child. “I believe everyone is an artist,” she said. “People have either been encouraged when they were young, or they haven’t. Getting people back to that is what I love to do.” Participants in the workshop will get a brief introduction to the history of dog portraiture. “Queen Victoria is where it all began,” Lam-

pert-Rudman said. “With her Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, she started the whole craze. The older traditional dog paintings are amazing.” Ever y one of Lamper tRudman’s dogs — at one time, she had 11 — has been the subject of one of her paintings or ceramics. Then there are the commissions. At one point, she was doing representations of several dogs that had passed away. That presented a challenge. “I’d hear the stories, but couldn’t take pictures of them, or meet them,” she

said. “And you really have to capture the essence. It’s all in the eyes. If you get the eyes right, you’ve got the dog.” The Hardenbergh exhibit that inspired the workshop includes more representations of birds and fish than dogs. “But there are some paintings of his dog, who he adored, and lived maybe more than 20 years,” Lampert-Rudman said. “That’s outstanding for a dog, especially one living on a houseboat with an artist.” The August 21 workshop is from 1-4 p.m. and costs $ 60 ( $45 for Mor ven memb ers ) includ ing t he image on archival watercolor paper without supplies; $85 and $70 including supplies.

The Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) on Thursday, August 5, is holding its commemoration of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The program, beginning at 7 p.m. will include a minute of silence at 7:16 p.m., which corresponds to the Japanese time that the bomb dropped on Hiroshima (8:16 a.m., August 6, 1945), killing about 140,000 civilians and gravely wounding hundreds of thousands more. The CFPA event will begin at 6 p.m. at Hinds Plaza, adjacent to the Princeton Public Library, with a bring-your-own picnic (no alcoholic beverages permitted). Ambassador Thomas Graham, President Bill Clinton’s special representative for arms control, non-proliferation, and disarmament in the 1990s, and leader of the successful U.S. government effort to indefi nitely extend the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, will be the keynote speaker, talking on the importance of implementing a No First Use policy to declare that the U.S. will not use nuclear weapons first. The August 5 event will include music and a candlelight closing at about 8:30 p.m. “Our reason for having these commemorations is to remember the absolute horror that nuclear weapons represent, and the real and growing threat they present today,” said CFPA Assistant Director Niki VanAller.

Morris Hunt, who also designed the base of the Statue of Liberty; The Breakers in Newport, R.I.; and Biltmore in Asheville, N.C. “It is a work of great solidity, and its style of architecture is unlike that of any other building in Princeton,” wrote John F. Hageman for a 1989 exhibition mounted by the Historical Society, “Small Town, Distinguished Architects.” Local architect Max Hayden described the building as one of the only local examples of its style. “It’s a loss. It’s one of the anchors of that corner,” he said.

“It’s one of the few prominent Victorian buildings in town. People tend to think of Princeton as either Colonial or Gothic, and this is a reminder that the town isn’t just one style. It has nice details, and brick, which isn’t that common. It’s just kind of a funky, brooding presence.” A statement from Princeton Theological Seminary Tuesday said, “We thank the Princeton Police Department for its response, the Fire Department for containing and extinguishing the fire, as well as all other first responders who swiftly arrived to campus.” — Anne Levin

COVID Numbers continued from page one

overall vaccination rate of those 12 years and older is 76 percent, and 94 percent for the group of those over 65, who are most susceptible to severe COVID-19. At this point experts estimate that COVID-19 requires a vaccination rate of 70-90 percent to achieve herd immunity. Grosser stated that vaccinations continue to be of paramount importance in the battle against COVID-19. “We often look at deter minants of disease outbreaks as a balancing act between immunity and susceptibility,” he said. “Although we are experiencing breakthrough cases, infections among people previously fully vaccinated, we are still minimizing hospitalizations.” Grosser stated that the majority of Princeton’s new cases are breakthrough cases, none of which were hospitalized. “The only health symptoms experienced were cold-like sy mptoms t hat mimicked what some would say feel like seasonal allergies,” he said.

department’s vaccination outreach efforts. “We can best meet the challenge of vaccinating Princeton’s remaining quarter of the population by being present in the community in areas identified as low vaccination rate communities and collaborating with our trusted community groups to assist our efforts in getting shots into people’s arms,” he added. Looking ahead to the fall and the start of the school year, Grosser focused on the Delta variant, which is twice as contagious as the regular strain and is creating new challenges for this phase of pandemic response. “It’s likely that mask wearing will be recommended, perhaps required for individuals going into public places well into the foreseeable future unless disease transmission begins to decrease. We are working closely with Princeton schools, Princeton University, and the Theological Seminary in order to be as prepared for the fall as possible.” The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recently released new guidance for vaccinated individuals, recommending that they wear mas k s i n publ ic i ndo or

settings and areas with high transmission rates, including crowded indoor settings, indoor settings involving close contact with others who may be unvaccinated or vaccine status may be unknown, and where immunocompromised or at-risk individuals are present. The Princeton Health Department advises following the CDC’s recommendations due to the high volume of visitors to town and summertime travel. The CDC continues to recommend that policies be based on local transmission rates. Monday’s Princeton municipal newsletter noted, “Vaccination is our best path to ending the COVID-19 pandemic. The vaccines work. New data are showing that a small number of vaccinated people can get the Delta variant and may be contagious, but these cases represent a very small amount of transmission occurring around the country.” The Health Department has scheduled COVID-19 vaccine clinics for Thursday, August 5 at the Princeton United Methodist Church from 5-8 p.m. and August 27 at Hinds Plaza from 5-9 p.m. —Donald Gilpin

PPS Board Approves $17.5M Proposal For January Maintenance Referendum

T h e P r i n c e to n P u b l i c Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE) has sent to the New Jersey Department of Education an application for a $17.5 million referendum to repair and replace leaking roofs at all six district schools, as well as to replace aging skylights, gutters, siding, deteriorating masonry, and rooftop HVAC equipment. “These needs are urgent,” said PPS Board Administrator Matt Bouldin. “Delays can only lead to ongoing, costly repairs and building damage and would impede the installation of solar panels.” The application was approved by the Princeton BOE by an 8-1 vote at their meeting last week. If the proposed projects are approved by the state on s ch e d u l e, P r i n c e ton residents will vote on the “health and safety referendum for urgent capital needs” at a special election on January 25, 2022. If the referendum passes, the work will start in the summer of 2022, with projects spread out over the next several

years. The last PPS referendum, $27 million for improvements to all six schools, was passed in December 2018. The debt from prior referendums is scheduled to mature on February 1, 2022, and 2023, and the proposed future maintenance projects can be completed without increasing debt service above the current levels. “Most of the current referendum projects are expected to be complete by the end of this summer, and we anticipate that the final stages of the PHS projects will be completed this winter,” said BOE Operations Committee Co-Chair Susan Kanter. “There would be no overlap of work.” She continued, “The projects being completed now were deemed the highest priorities in 2018, and now three years later we have new and urgent needs that must be addressed. As an added incentive, this will allow us to move forward with solar panel installation.” In his proposal to the

BOE, Bouldin noted that the state would potentially reimburse the district for up to 34 cents on every dollar spent on the proposed maintenance. Also, after replacing the schools’ leaking roofs, further savings and greater sustainability would be achieved through the installation of rooftop solar panels. This referendum is part of a larger review of longterm district planning to meet facilities needs. “As the district determines additional facilities needs and requirements, there will be additional proposals to address growing enrollment [at Princeton High School and Princeton Middle School] and pedagogical needs,” Bouldin said. He added that the goal was to address those needs without raising the debt service tax levy from fiscal year 2020 -21 levels. “Voting ‘yes’ on January 25, 2022 will save taxpayers money in emergency repairs, custodial overtime, and prevent the loss of classroom space due to leaking roofs and problems associated with outdated equipment,” he said. New PPS Superintendent Carol Kelley, starting her second month on the job, remarked on how transparent the process for developing this health and safety referendum proposal has been. “I have not seen that in other districts,” she noted, citing her 10 years of prior experience as a schools superintendent. —Donald Gilpin

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 $1,500 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 $1,500 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.

The Spotted Lanternfly Is Back and Here to Stay

They don’t sting. They don’t bite. But the spotted lanternfly, which has begun spreading its red-flecked wings on local trees again, can be a big nuisance. “They’re more of a pain,” s aid P r i nceton A rb or is t Taylor Sapudar, who saw his first adults of the year a few weeks ago. “They are a major concern for vineyards. But in the ornamental landscape, what we need to be concerned about is that they excrete a black, sticky substance that attracts bees and wasps. It’s messy. If you have a car parked under a tree where they are, that can be a problem.” According to infor mation on the municipal website (princetonnj.gov), the spotted lanterfly is a plant hopper that belongs to the family “Fulgoridae in the order Hempitera.” It feeds on plant sap, and then produces what is known as honeydew, “which facilitates the growth of sooty mold and can make decks, cars, pa-

tios, and walkways a sticky mess if they are located beneath a tree with a high population of lantern flies,” reads the website. Native to China, the spotted lanternfly was accidentally introduced into Pennsylvania in September of 2014. It was first detected in New Jersey four years later and has since spread to other states including Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and New York. Its life cycle is one year. Egg masses are laid in the fall and hatch the following spring. They can be laid on any flat surface such as tree trunks, cars, picnic tables, and houses. W h ile t he insects can cause damage to trees, they are not as destructive as the emerald ash borer. “They can cause damage by significantly feeding on the trees. However, they do not bore into the trees like the ash borer, so death in healthy hardwood trees is unlikely to occur,” said Sapudar. While Sapudar has seen

a few of the bothersome insects on maples and elms, high volumes of them are usually found on the invasive tree of heaven, or Ailanthus altissima. When crushed, the leaves smell like rotten peanut butter. “These are not trees you’d see for sale in a nursery,” said Sapudar. “You see them in parking lots, or in the edge of woods, or areas that are not mowed regularly. For some reason, the spotted lanterfly is particularly attracted to them.” Sapudar said he was hoping that with the previous cold w inter, egg masses would die off. “But they didn’t,” he said. “So I’m anticipating a lot of calls about them this year.” Anyone inundated with the insects should contact a local tree care company. “There are plans they can give you to get rid of them,” said Sapudar. “That’s what I’d recommend.” — Anne Levin

RE-EMERGING: The spotted lanternfly is making itself known in Princeton once again.

Gittleman Named Executive Director director will be oversight “Wheels for Meals” Of Housing Initiatives of Princeton of HIP’s Transitional Hous- Aims to Fight Hunger

The Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP), a Princeton based nonprofit that provides transitional housing and support to individuals/families on the verge of homelessness, has taken an organizational step forward by hiring its first salaried executive director, Kathleen Gittleman. Up until this time, the leaders of the organization, i nclud i ng cur rent chair, Carol Golden, and her predecessor Ruth, Thurmond S cot t, have been desig nated board chairpersons, performing the duties of full-time executive directors, but in strictly volunteer capacities. As of July 1, G it t leman, k now n to many in the region as the former owner of the popular Princeton knitting and needlepoint store Pins and Needles, is the executive director. After she retired from the retail business about two years ago, Gittleman accepted the job as HIP administrator. In that role, she “proved to be a talented and committed member of the HIP team in an extremely challenging time. This promotion to executive director is well deser ved and an exciting new step for HIP,” said Golden, who has led the organization since 2016. “Working with HIP has been a tremendous experience. The mission and the people involved are remarkable, and I look forward to continuing in this expanded role,” Gittleman said. A mong Git tleman’s responsibilities as executive

ing program as well as its Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Bot h of these programs, core to HIP’s mission, have been growing and expanding for the past several years. HIP’s si x t ransit ional housing units provide homes for six families, who also receive HIP’s “wrap-around” services supporting mental and physical health, educational pursuit, financial stability, and job search. H I P re sponde d to t he economic crisis caused by the pandemic by providing $443,000 in rental assistance to renters living in the Princeton area, thus enabling them to stay safely in their homes. These funds were paid directly to the landlords, therefore also serving to help the landlords during this difficult time. A portion of the $443,000 in rental assistance was nearly $300,000 i n C om mu n it y D evelop ment Block Grant funds. This federal grant was allocated to the municipality to provide emergency rental assistance to those Princeton renters unable to pay their rent because of the pandemic. According to Golden, Gittleman worked “tirelessly” with the town of Princeton to distribute the money in an effective and efficient manner. “It’s time for HIP to take this impor tant step, and we’re lucky to have Kathleen step up and take on more responsibility as HIP continues to grow and provide needed services in the community.”

Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County (JFCS) will be holding its First Annual Wheels for Meals, a bike ride to fight hunger, on Sunday morning, October 3, at Mercer County Community College. Event proceeds will benefit all JFCS food programs, including their on-site and mobile food pantries and senior nutrition programs. Collectively, JFCS food programs benefit over 32,000 individuals across the greater Mercer region each year. “During the pandemic, not a single one of our programs stopped, and our food programs saw higher demand than ever,” said Michelle Napell, JFCS executive director. “We anticipate that the increase in food insecurity in our community will continue, which is why JFCS is thrilled to launch this new annual fundraiser dedicated entirely to supporting our food programs.” Individual riders can register for their choice of 32-mile, 10-mile or 3-mile routes, all starting on Mercer County Community College West Windsor campus. The event also offers multiple levels of sponsorship for businesses or groups looking to create teams and support at a higher level. Find all event details at www. JFCSWheels4Meals.org.

the past 48 years. In presenting his vision, Hillier emphasized six goals, which he noted were in accord with the goals of the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society: to preserve the culture and character of the neighborhood; to retain existing residences (“We’re not going to be throwing people out,” he said.); to promote diversity in the population; to provide housing at a reasonable cost (“This is an anti-gentrification project,” he said, “because we’re going to be providing housing that people can afford.”); to create a sustainable and safe environment; and to increase the sense of community. Hillier, who owns a number of properties on the west side of Witherspoon Street, pointed out the “cost-burdened” plight of 46 percent

of Princeton renters, and he described his solution. He suggested that the creation of micro-apartments with monthly rentals of as little as $950 could be achieved through greater density. He went on to show his designs for restoring the Witherspoon Street buildings to their original appearance. “What we’re going to do is accurately restore the neighborhood, going back in history,” he said, and he pointed out that additions would be added at the back, not visible from the street, to achieve the necessary increase in density. He added that the building at 184 Witherspoon, which was the first public School for Colored Children, after restoration would be named The Satterfield in honor of local historian and Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society President Shirley Satterfield. The second School for Colored Children, on Quarry Street,

was restored by Hillier and named The Waxwood after its principal, who was there when the schools were desegregated. Responses to Hillier’s plans were strongly positive. “Bob Hillier is a real community treasure, with a wealth of experience,” said Councilwoman Michelle Pirone Lambros. “We can’t be afraid of the word density. This is an incredibly smart solution to creating more affordable housing and preserving the history of our community. Thanks to Bob and Barbara.” She continued, “It’s brilliant. We’re committed to helping this and other developments that bring about an opportunity for environmental sensitivity and affordability. That’s what smart growth is and we’re dedicated to it.” Councilwoman Mia Sacks emphasized Hillier’s patience and responsiveness in working closely to respond to municipal and community concerns. “Witherspoon is a microcosm of all the issues we’re facing in town right now, and if we succeed on Witherspoon it will be a model for the rest of the town,” she said. “We have been guided by our village elders who have helped keep us on track moving towards the future while staying true to the values of the neighborhood.” In issuing a word of caut i o n , L e i g h to n N e w l i n , Princeton Housing Authority Chairman and candidate for Princeton Council, urged a close focus on who will be living in the new apartments to be built. “We must ensure that we keep diversity in this community, including access

to people of color, across the income spectrum,” he said. “Let’s all work towards more inclusivity, more access, more equity, and more social justice.” Newlin thanked the Hilliers “for showing us that change, even in a historic district with great legacy and great love, can be a wonderful and beautiful thing.” Satterfield also praised Hillier’s vision for the Witherspoon Street corridor, emphasizing the importance of restoring the pride of the neighborhood. “We were poor, but we were rich in spirit,” she said, “and we want to bring that back.” She discussed the planned restoration of the first Witherspoon Street School for Colored Children. “Robert said, ‘I want to restore it just like it used to be,’ and that means a lot to me because it was my ancestors who were taught in that school,” she added. Also speaking at Monday’s event were New Jersey Assemblyman and New Jersey Senate candidate Andrew Zwicker, and Mercer County Commissioners Sam Frisby and Andrew Koontz. Zwicker emphasized Princeton’s influence throughout the state. “What’s been happening in Princeton and Witherspoon- Jackson for the past 40 years ripples out like a stone in a pond,” he said. “We see in the legislature what Princeton does as a community and we try to emulate it all the time. We know what’s wrong in this country. We know what’s happening right now. Coming together and working together really does ripple out.”

Frisby also noted Princeton’s leadership role in New Jersey. “Gentrification doesn’t have to be a bad word,” he said. “You will lead the way once again for the state of New Jersey to see how you can make sure that historically Black communities don’t get left out of the loop. Continue the fight. Continue the work.” Koontz urged the community to continue to work together for the goal of health and safety as the pandemic continues. “Please be safe,’ he said. “We’re not out of this yet. If you haven’t been vaccinated, please get vaccinated to help us get out of this.” John Bailey, Joint Effort founder, event coordinator, and emcee for the afternoon program, summed up the proceedings. “We’ve brought a vision to the table to discuss — a vision of what could be,” he said. “There’s a certain connectivity in this community.” He went on to describe the event, which drew an audience of about 80 people, as “an acknowledgement of community,” and emphasized that this vision of the future of Witherspoon “may have profound positive effects.” He continued, “It’s an opportunity to heal the town. When people come and listen to each other, good things can happen.” Bailey praised Hillier and his architectural creations all over the world. “We’re very fortunate to have him in this community with Barbara, doing this unbelievable work on behalf of all Princeton,” said Bailey. —Donald Gilpin

Their work is more critical than ever as the forest is on track to lose over one million trees within 3-5 years due to the invasive emerald ash borer. Proceeds from the event will help support the forest restoration effort, now underway. The Sourland Conservancy hopes to plant 10,000 trees and shrubs this year. “Our staff, volunteers, and community partners are doing all we can to restore the forest. We need help,” said Laurie Cleveland, Sourland Conservancy’s executive director. “Millions of people rely on the forest to provide clean air and drinking water,

habitat for endangered species, carbon sequestration, and more. Now, the forest is facing a serious threat. We will all need to work together to protect it.” Busines s sponsorsh ips starting at $300 are still available.

JFCS Mobile Food Pantry Benefits More than 30,000

In mid- July, the J FCS Mobile Food Pantry met an important milestone when the program distributed its 10,000th bag of food in the community. The Mobile Food Pantry, a program of Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County (JFCS), launched in January 2020 and grew quickly, with the initial roll out expedited by the onset of the pandemic. The program includes two vehicles, the original mobile pantry truck and Poppy’s Pantry, a sprinter van which was purchased in December 2020 through a private gift in memory of Stuart “Poppy” Plotkin. Both vehicles are out on the road every week and make over 20 distributions each month. Since its launch in early 2020, the mobile pantry program has made over 280 distributions stops across the greater Mercer region. Distribution locations include community housing projects, schools, day cares, churches, and a variety of social service organizations. “When it’s 50 bags to a senior housing complex, 20 bags to a day care facility, 60 bags to a school, it is incredible to see just how quickly we distributed 10,000 bags benefiting well over 30,000 individuals here in our community,” said Beth Englezos, JFCS manager of hunger prevention.

Both the JFCS brick-andmortar pantry and both mobile pantries continue to see high demand as the impact of the pandemic is still being felt by the most vulnerable in the community. “Our mobile pantry never stopped, even though it was a new program, we saw early on in the pandemic just how vital mobility was in getting food to food insecure individuals and families, now forced to lockdown for their safety,” said Michelle Napell, JFCS executive director. “We are prepared to maintain our high level of deliveries and growing to meet demand as we continue to see the financial fallout from the pandemic.” Throughout the month of August and September, JFCS is organizing “Stuff the Truck” events around the community to collect healthy breakfast foods to stock in the pantry. The first “Stuff the Truck” event has been scheduled in partnership with Trenton Thunder on Wednesday, August 4 at 6 p.m. Community members are welcome to join JFCS at the ballpark and bring a donation item for the food drive. The ticket link and de t a i ls ab out up com i ng “Stuff the Truck” events can be found at jfcsonline.org/ events. “The first meal of the day truly sets the tone and gives you the positive start needed,” said Taryn Krietzman, RDN, pantry coordinator. “We’re hoping we can get t he pantr y well stocked ahead of the school year so that food-insecure children and families can have a nutritious breakfast to count on before they start their day.” Community members are also encouraged to “Planta-Row” for JFCS in their personal or community gardens. Several local individuals and groups, including West Windsor Plainsboro Girl Scout Troops, synagogue, and church groups, have been harvesting fresh produce from their gardens to donate to the JFCS pantry. These donations have

School Matters Pennington Girls in STEM Win Contest The Pennington School Girls in STEM club recently won the grand prize in the Lemonade Stand Contest, a competition designed to kickstart projects and small businesses. Their winning entry was a proposal for their hybrid sanitary napkin project, which brought them the $20,000 cash grand prize, a $40,000 marketing package on Whalebone websites and social media, and three mentoring sessions with Alex Faherty, the founder and CEO of Faherty Brand, which, along with Whalebone, co-sponsored the competition. Over the past several years Pennington students have used their STEM skills to refurbish and donate iPads and to teach introductory STEM lessons to students in the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi, Africa. One of their projects over the past two years has been development of a hybrid sanitary napkin, a project addressing a key problem faced by girls in Dzaleka. Due to shortages of water and quality menstrual products, girls living in the camp frequently miss school during their periods, which often leads them to drop out of school altogether. During the past school year the Pennington School Girls in STEM designed, sewed, and tested several versions of a hybrid sanitary napkin and mailed prototypes to the girls in Dzaleka, who gave them feedback on their design over Zoom. “Now that we have a product that will help girls living in a low-water-resource environment stay in school, we want to package this product into a larger initiative,” said 2021 graduate Emily Barkley in the Girls in STEM project pitch video. Girls in STEM plan to use their prize money to put this larger initiative into action. The contest judges stated: “Amongst 556 entries, your concept truly stood out with its innovation, consideration, and efforts to make the world a better place.”

Community Park Students Create Mural Community Park third graders have created a mural commemorating the 202021 school year. Working in collaboration with their teachers and several parents, the students drew self-portraits, some with face masks, some without; created tiles from the portraits; and designed a mural with the tiles surrounding a message in English and Spanish. The mural states: “During this difficult year, we learned the importance of nature, friends, family, and school. More than anything else, we missed being together!”

PPS Preschool Expands The Princeton Public Schools’ (PPS) free public preschool is expanding next month, with development of the newest site at the Marcy T. Crimmins Learning Center near Princeton Community Village, in partnership with the Princeton YMCA. PPS is looking forward to welcoming 15 new students to the Crimmins site, adding to three existing classrooms at the Burke Foundation Early Childhood Center at the Princeton YWCA and two in-district classrooms at Johnson Park and Riverside Schools. PPS has expanded preschool spots by 125 percent since 2019 and remains committed to increasing high-quality, free public preschool for all Princeton residents.

English Language Learners Complete Camp The English Language Camp for students who are in the process of learning English has completed its summer program at Princeton High School (PHS). “We have been thrilled with the enthusiasm and large turnout this summer,” said Andrea Dinan, PHS Ideas Center leader who has been involved with the English Language Learners program for the last 10 years. The 20 students who participated met daily to play get-to-know-you games, practice their English, and work on maintaining skills learned during the school year. Dinan and Christine Carbone, who run the program, were supported by PHS student volunteers and students from the Princeton Human Resources summer youth employment program. Native Spanish speakers in the program were also supported by teachers from Merida, Mexico, who participated through Zoom to work with students on English grammar lessons.

Princeton Academy Orator Wins Recognition Jin “Owen” Sun, a rising eighth grader at Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart (PASH), was recognized as a National Showcase Finalist in the declamation event at the National Speech and Debate Tournament this summer. With more than 6,000 middle and high school students competing each summer at the tournament, which is the largest academic competition in the world, Owen was the only middle school student from New Jersey to earn this national finalist recognition. PASH students competed virtually this year in New Jersey Speech and Debate League tournaments, and had the opportunity to expand their virtual participation to 18 middle school tournaments around the country. Also this summer PASH Head of School Alfred F. (Rik) Dugan III was named the middle school administrator of the year by the National Speech and Debate Association for his support of the program. PASH Director of Technology and Summer Programs Raymond Shay is the coach of the school’s speech and debate team.

er and share information while also exercising their dogs and providing needed canine socialization experiences. It’s time for Princeton to “get off the fence” and take action to establish a dog park. It would be a valuable addition to our recreational facilities, at minimal cost (using existing parkland, all that is needed is fencing and gates). The several thousand Princeton families who share their lives with dogs would quickly make this one of the most popular recreational facilities in the community. PATRICIA MAHAR Snowden Farms Lane

BOOK REVIEW

On Louis Armstrong’s Birthday

elebrating Louis Armstrong’s 120th birthday a week before August 4, 2021, I get in the car, put “West End Blues” on the stereo, and drive downtown to the library. For the first time in a locked-down year and a half, I’m returning to my favorite source with a mission. And as usual, I find what I’m looking for, driving off with three biographies: Terry Teachout’s Pops (2009), Ricki Riccardi’s What a Wonderful World (2011), and Thomas Brothers’s Master of Modernism (2014). In the Phillipe Halsman photo on the cover of Pops, Armstrong stands facing forward, his trumpet tucked under one arm; he’s wearing a red bow tie, and he’s not smiling. If anything, he looks to be on the verge of tears, as if a lifetime of emotion were welling up inside him. The photograph was taken in 1966, when LIFE put him on the cover. Teachout calls it “the climax of his eminence.” Inside is a 14page interview in which he says, “I don’t sigh for nothing. Sixty years is a long time and there ain’t going to be no more cats in the game that long.” He died 50 years ago, July 6, 1971. Armstrong in the Sixties When I get home, the first book I open is Pops, which begins with an epigraph from Brancusi: “Don’t look for obscure formulas, nor for le mystère. It is pure joy I’m giving you.” “Pure joy” is something I instinctively associate with the music of the Beatles. In the sixties, I had no interest in Armstrong songs like “What a Wonderful World,” which I listened to just now on YouTube; it’s a version for cynics with a warm and fuzzy introduction from Louis addressed to “all you young folks asking how about all the walls, and the hunger, and pollution, how ‘wonderful’ is that?” And he tells them, “It ain’t the world that’s so bad, but what we’re doing to it.” When he sings of “trees of green” and “skies of blue” in his Times Square-on-New-Year’s-Eve voice, I’m smiling; when he gets to “the bright blessed day,” and friends shaking hands and saying “How do you do” when they’re really saying “I love you,” I’m thinking of the mob storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and the Delta variant, and the massive cloud rising from the ruins of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Armstrong and the Beatles According to Riccardi, whose subtitle is The Magic of Louis Armstrong’s Later Years, Satchmo’s “Hello Dolly” knocked

the Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” off the top of the charts in 1964. In a 1965 Crescendo interview quoted by Riccardi, Armstrong says, “I buy the Beatles. Everything they put out. I got ‘em in my house and I put ‘em on tape. They’re good boys. Yeah, and they made a wonderful reputation, which they deserve. Because they put everything in it...They upset the world.” Three years later “What a Wonderful World” was the number one hit in England, selling more than six hundred thousand copies. A 1968 interview Riccardi posted on YouTube has Louis fielding questions from an uptight British interviewer who seems unprepared for an outburst of enthusiasm inspired by the Fab Four. Shortly after blowing through a timidly posed question about changing his music (“Mozart never changed! Bach never changed!”), Armstrong says, “I go by my ear, what I hear. That’s why I buy records. Like the Beatles! Ain’t no record gonna top Hard Day’s Night!” A minute later he says it again, “In my library, ain’t nothing gonna top that Hard Day’s Night” A loaded pause: “Understand?” Armstrong and Moby-Dick After his emphatic endorsement of t he B e at le s, A r m s t rong talks about play ing “with a symphony orchestra for the silent pictures in 1925. And we played everything those big orchestras played. In the Vendome Theater in Chicago. And we changed programs twice a week. With movies. We play our overture and then we go into the jazz climax.” In Louis Armstrong: Master of Modernism, Brothers points out that Erskine Tate’s orchestra was praised “for taking movie accompaniment seriously,” and suggests that “it was probably the first time Armstrong had ever played for a conductor using a baton.” The musicians “had to be alert and in control of their reading. Armstrong liked to tell a story about playing for The Sea Beast, based on Moby-Dick and starring John Barrymore as Captain Ahab .... When the climactic scene came around, with the great white whale attacking the captain and biting off

his leg, Armstrong couldn’t take his eyes off the screen and lost his place in the score. ‘Erskine Tate was swinging his arms everywhere and he turned to me and said, ‘Come on you.’ “ But Louis was lost. “I had sixty measures to count — I missed my count.” Thanks to the Legacy/Columbia YouTube postings, you can hear Louis and the Tate orchestra performing “Static Strut” and “Stomp Off, Let’s Go.” If your eyes are up to it, you can also watch The Sea Beast in its flickering faded entirety and try to imagine what Louis would do with the storm scenes. Brothers quotes future bandleader and vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, who was a teenager when he saw Armstrong at the Vendome: “We were in the front row of the first balcony, and we could see the entire audience go crazy after his first, fifteen-minute solo.” Future bassist Milt Hinton remembers A r m s t r on g’s i m p ac t on t h e m i n d - s e t of t h e au d ie n ce : “T h e p eople wou ld com e on Sunday ... in their tuxedoes with the roll collars, and it was like, you know, white folks, like it was a big white theater, you know. Because they thought that this was the way it was supposed to be, that you were white and you were right and this was the only way it could be .... And Louis stood up and played one of his great solos, and you could see everybody letting their hair down. ‘Yeah, that’s the way it should be, this is it.’ So we were beginning to relate — ‘well, great to be like that, but this is what really relates to us.’ “ Beatles and Baseball Now’s the time to admit I began this piece hoping that I could find a way to connect Louis Armstrong with some other pleasures I associate with the first week of August. Of course, it was good to discover Satchmo’s fondness for the Beatles, who recorded “Hey Jude” and the “Here Comes the Sun” side of Abbey Road in the first weeks of August 1968 and ‘69, having released the Help and Revolver albums in the first weeks of August 1965 and ‘66, respectively.

As for baseball, Armstrong was a devoted Mets fan, lived a stone’s throw from Shea Stadium, and wore Yogi Berra’s catcher’s mask for protection during encounters with Beatles-sized crowds of fans. According to Thomas Brothers, in summer 1931 New Orleans, Louis sponsored a team called Armstrong’s Secret Nine, “buying them equipment and uniforms with his last name written across the fronts of their shirts.” On August 16, the Secret Nine played the New Orleans Black Pelicans. The admission was 50 cents, “with ‘special accommodations for whites.’ “ When his own participation was announced, 1,500 fans came to St. Raymond Park to watch him pitch.” “Star Dust” for Melville Finally, the author of Moby-Dick, who was born August 1, 1819. Herman Melville would undoubtedly have been amazed and appalled by The Sea Beast, which ends with pegleg Ahab Ceeley in the arms of his sweetheart, played by Barrymore’s real-life lover, Dolores Costello. One way I can imagine Melville enduring the travesty would be if Louis Armstrong stood up ahead of the absurd ending to play and sing “Star Dust” exactly the way he does with his orchestra in 1931. Between the two trumpet-glorious summits, with the orchestra rowing him, stroke by stroke over the ocean to the stars, the giver of “pure joy” sings of lonely nights and dreams and melodies and love’s refrain, offering mellow consolation in “the stardust of a song.” I imagine Melville closing his eyes, thinking back to perhaps his most memorable birthday, August 1, 1850, when he and Nathaniel Hawthorne met during a picnic in the Berkshires, where witnesses say the two authors tossed a ball back and forth. A year later, Moby-Dick was published and dedicated to Hawthorne. In his journal, August 1, 1851, Hawthorne wrote: “Melville and I had a talk about time and eternity, things of this world and of the next, and books, and publishers, and all possible and impossible matters that lasted pretty deep into the night.” ne such possibly impossible matter concerns whether Louis Armstrong ever read Melville’s masterpiece. It’s a fact that the 1930 edition of MobyDick, with its vivid Rockwell Kent illustrations, was among his books when he died and is in the collection of the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens. —Stuart Mitchner

“Pieces and Places” Exhibit At Stover Mill Gallery

Art

“PATTERSON FARM AUTUMN”: This oil painting by Ilene Rubin is featured in “Pieces and Places of Bucks County,” on view August 28 through September 26 at the Stover Mill Gallery in Erwinna, Pa.

“PEACE OFFERING”: This work by sculptor Kathleen McSherry is part of “Pieces and Places of Bucks County,” on view August 28 through September 26 at the Stover Mill Gallery in Erwinna, Pa.

A Legacy of Craft For Our Community Since 1985 609.683.1034 PDGUILD.COM

Two Bucks County artists — Ilene Rubin, a painter of places and things related to the bucolic surrounding environs, and Kathleen McSherry, a sculptor who utilizes unique and locally found elements — will present “Pieces and Places of Bucks County” at the Stover Mill Gallery on weekends beginning August 28 and running through September 26. Rubin is a self-taught artist who has lived in Elkins Park, Pa.; Thousand Oaks, Calif.; Boulder, Colo.; and now calls Doylestown, Pa. home. She has received numerous awards, including the Ty Hodanish award for oil painting in the Artsbridge 2021 Member Show in March 2021, and is also a published author of two novels. She is a participating artist in the 2021 Bucks County Chamber of Commerce Virtual Studio Artist Tour and was the featured artist in Bucks County Magazine in June 2021. She is a member of most Bucks County Art organizations and previously served as vice president of the New Hope Art League. She is currently the artist of Bristol chair of the Art Show at the Lower Bucks Hospital. “I’m an artist who feels ver y strongly about the emotional and instinctive force which drives the creative process,” said Rubin. “I want to feel that a location or object must be explored. That exploration creates a reality on canvas and makes it real. That sense that I must document it is urgent and required or I will not rest until I have conveyed everything about it. It is organic and ever evolving, but unless my painting can reveal the artist in the art while at the same time be an inner mirror for a viewer, it’s merely a rendering of color and form but not stirring.” “I strive to reveal what is below the paint, an invitation to walk in and look around,” she continued. “Then I know I have captured a moment in time. It may not be what is seen outside your window or on your table in perfect clarity, and maybe it is really only sensed, but if it made a viewer consider its innate beauty, then I feel I have conveyed something about me that they did not realize until seeing my paintings. My greatest joy is when someone looks at my paintings all together in an arrangement on the wall and then looks at me differently. That’s a wonderful moment and I never tire of it. For me that is the creative process, driven by an instinct of what is compelling vs. merely ordinary. My job is to understand that capturing the ordinary can reveal the compelling.” McSher r y has a long standing appreciation for the abandoned and obscure. Her approach to sculpture can be described as archaeological. Her work references multiple strata of American culture, refusing to be tethered to a singular aesthetic. Her choice of composition and media are benefited through their familiarity, giving the chimeric aspects of her sculpture a sense of uncanniness, yet wonder. This observational quality in McSherry’s work is self-evident; her media is as much the refuse of modern culture as it is the thematic components of our everyday lives.

HOPEWELL TOUR DES ARTS: For 14 years, the Hopewell Tour Des Arts has connected artists with the local community. At this year’s tour — on Saturday, September 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, September 26 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. — visitors can meet local artists (such as Ric Stang, shown here in his studio), visit their studios, and purchase one-of-a-kind artwork. The event also includes music, poetry, sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, and more. Free admission. For more information, visit hopewelltourdesarts.com. McSherry’s unique deconstructive techniques elevate the mundane and forgotten, rather than focusing on the traditionally beautiful. The act of freely altering and misusing the intended purposes of her media allows her a wide range in the field of irony. Deforming the personified and anthropomorphizing the lifeless gives even the most unsettling of her sculptures an almost religious quality, no doubt influenced by the religious tropes McSherry references. In this regard, her sculptures serve as altars to alteration and the art of assemblage, where the bodily remains of a child’s doll could just as well be reused for their inherently unnerving attributes as for their aspiration towards the ideal. The Stover Mill Gallery, sponsored by the Tinicum Civic Association, is located at 852 River Road in Erwinna, Pa. Gallery hours are 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Mid-week viewings are available by appointment. All are is for sale. For more information, contact Stover Mill Gallery at (610) 294-9420.

Lauren Otis Stepping Down as Executive Director of Artworks

Artworks, Trenton’s visual arts center, has announced that Lauren Otis will be stepping down from his role as executive director of Artworks. The Artworks Board of Trustees has initiated a search for Otis’ replacement. Otis will continue to lead Artworks until his replacement is hired. Artworks, a nonprofit with over 55 years of history in the greater Trenton area, has become one of Trenton’s most visible arts organizations with programming and events that have elevated the profile of arts and culture as one of the Capital City’s most valuable assets, and harnessed them as a potent force for community wellbeing and revitalization within city neighborhoods. “A r t work s, l i ke m a ny urban organizations and communities, has faced huge challenges in recent years. We have met those challenges and overcome them, laying a foundation for ourselves and our diverse Trenton community to prosper,” said Otis. “I’m proud of what Artworks has been able to accomplish under my tenure, but it’s now time for us to transition to new leadership and move the organization to even greater levels of effectiveness and community engagement. I intend to work with my successor and the Artworks Board of Trustees on ensuring the transition is a smooth one and Artworks

is well prepared for the next great chapter in our history.” “We are sorry to see Lauren go, but looking forward to the process of identifying a capable and passionate leader to take his place and build on his successes,” said Artworks Board Chair Barry Zhang. Otis has been executive director of Artworks since February 2016 and was interim executive director prior to his appointment as executive director. He served on the Artworks Board of Trustees from 2009 to 2014 and was board chair in 2010-2011. An artist and longtime supporter of Artworks, he was selected to be executive director following a national search. The Artworks Board of Trustees will be commencing the selection process for a successor to Otis with a widely based search for skilled nonprofit arts administrators with an interest in urban arts and Artworks’ ongoing programming, including Art All Night, Art All Day, public art projects, exhibitions and educational offerings. Individuals interested in more information or applying can visit artworkstrenton.org/ executive-director-opportunity or email EDsearch2021@ artworkstrenton.org. The board intends to actively seek applications from candidates for the executive director position until the position is filled and anticipates announcing a successor to Otis in late 2021.

A Chicken in Every Pot at La Rosa Chicken & Grill, The New Eatery in the Princeton Shopping Center

o doubt about it ! Chicken is an all-time favorite. Chicken sandwiches, chicken salad, chicken tenders, fried chicken, roast chicken — there is something for everyone!

IT’S NEW To Us

And with some people cutting back on red meat, and others who don’t love fish, chicken is a favorite choice of those looking for healthy eating. Enter La Rosa Chicken & Grill, just opened last May in the Princeton Shopping Center. “Chicken is our specialty,” says Benny Umbra, partner and co-owner, with Chef Lazzaro Merone, of the new eatery One of 15 franchises in New Jersey and New York, La Rosa Chicken & Grill has quickly become a favorite at its new Shopping Center location. Down-To-Earth “We are very encouraged by the response,” reports Umbra. “People started coming in right away, and we already have repeat customers. It’s all ages, too, and lots of families. They come in for lunch, both to eat in or take out, and then stop in to take a meal home for dinner.” Established by Vincenzo Pugliese in Marlboro in 1994, the company has always stressed down-to-earth healthy eating, focusing on

d an ! t Cu save

quality ingredients, freshly prepared, with an attractive presentation, and friendly service. La Rosa’s mission statement emphasizes its core values. “A modern world eatery that stays true to old world traditions. We use only natural, antibiotic-free chicken, flavored in our signature herb marinade, making our chicken tender and juicy. Our side dishes are made from scratch, using fresh vegetables and local greens. La Rosa offers a line of food that is cooked in ovens, kettles, open fire grills, and rotisseries, letting all fats extract while retaining everything wholesome. “By starting with only fresh ingredients and a preparation that meets our commitment to exceptional quality, we end up with a meal unsurpassed in its category. At La Rosa Chicken & Grill, you can be assured that you are getting a nutritionally well-balanced meal for your family.” Every Taste Customers will find choices for every taste and appetite: sandwiches, platters and bowls, salads and sides, and a whole chicken for a full meal. Sandwiches include mild or spicy marinated grilled chicken, crispy tenders, and wraps. Also offered are Caesar, Buffalo, or burrito wraps, and three, four, or five-piece tenders. Platters and bowls include mild or spicy Grilled Chicken Platter, La Rosa Bowl, and Burrito Bowl, all featuring a variety of chicken dishes and sides. Popular salads are

the Chicken Mediterranean, Chicken Caesar, and Chicken Gorgonzola. Chicken meals include a quarter, half, or whole chicken, all white or all dark meat. One whole chicken family meal also offers four sides and three corn muffins. Choices of sides include macaroni and cheese, rice pilaf, garlic broccoli, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, sweet mashed potatoes, garlic string beans, and La Rosa’s signature French fries.

Kids Meals Kids meals are also available, including the signature macaroni and cheese with corn muffin and beverage (apple juice, bottled water, or fountain drink), or the popular grilled or crispy chicken tenders. Offering quality food at reasonable prices is an important priority of La Rosa, points out Umbra. “We offer quality food at affordable prices. People love our chicken. It is so popular. Also, our signature fries are a big favorite, as is the macaroni and cheese. And it all comes with friendly and quick service.” Sandwiches start at $5.49, platters at $9.99, sandwiches at $9.49. A half chicken is $8 (with sides and muffin $12.25), and a whole chicken family meal is $25.99. Kids Meals are from $4.99. “I am an accountant by

CHICKEN DELIGHT: “We cook to order, and everything is fresh. Nothing is frozen. Everything is prepared daily on-site.” Benny Umbra (left) and Chef Lazzaro Merone, owners of La Rosa Chicken & Grill in the Princeton Shopping Center, are about to enjoy a sampling of the eatery’s specialties: (top left) crispy chicken sandwich, with macaroni and cheese, and French fries; roasted chicken meal featuring garlic broccoli, string beans, and corn muffin; chicken sandwich with creamed spinach and fries; and chicken gorgonzola salad. All are customer favorites. trade,” Umbra continues, “but I always wanted to have a restaurant and be in the food business.” In addition to the Princeton location, he also owns a La Rosa eatery in Hazlet and another soon-to-open in Randolph. Providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere is another key to La Rosa’s success, he believes. “We want people to feel relaxed and comfortable here. We give them a warm welcome. Also, we always have the theme of our decor relating to the local area, with artwork on the wall, and we also include a photo of a vintage lunch sign from a friendly 1930s eatery.” The Princeton La Rosa features an informal dining setting with tables, booths, and banquette. Fifty customers can be seated inside, and 25 outdoors.

Great Welcome Catering is also an important part of the business, points out Umbra. “We do all kinds and sizes of events, including corporate lunches. We recently had an event at a residence, and provided 500 sandwiches, as well as platters and bowls.” He is delighted with the Princeton Shopping Center location. “We definitely wanted to be in Princeton, and the Shopping Center is great,” he reports. “It’s convenient, the parking is easy, and we’re right next to Dunkin’ Donuts. We have both courtyard and street entrances. We have also had a great welcome from the other merchants.” He looks forward to a long and congenial relationship with customers and with the Princeton community.

“I enjoy satisfying the customers and seeing them enjoy eating. They are really happy to come here. We are also a great place for kids’ sports teams to come after their games. We very much look forward to being a real part of the community here, and building the La Rosa brand. We are also looking forward to adding to our staff. This is a great place to work. We are definitely here to stay!” a Rosa Chicken & Grill is open seven days, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Delivery service is available via DoorDash and GrubHub, and also via La Rosa’s own app, which customers can download for extra rewards.

Bringing Competitive Fire to PU, Women’s National Team, McGarvie Reilly Inducted into NJ Lacrosse Hall of Fame

When Holly McGarvie Reilly started playing lacrosse on the very first team at Medford Memorial Middle School, she did not have Hall of Fame aspirations but she approached it as she has everything in her life. “I’m a competitor,” said Reilly. “My parents really impressed on me the importance of a strong education and doing your best in whatever you’re doing.” Reilly got hooked early on the new sport and excelled at it along with field hockey and winter track and field at Shawnee High School. The valedictorian at Shawnee, she won 10 varsity letters in a career that included a state track championship, All-State recognition in field hockey, and All-American acclaim in lacrosse before continuing with field hockey and lacrosse at nearby Princeton University. At Princeton, she helped the Tigers win four Ivy League championships in field hockey as a star back in her fall seasons and during the spring won one Ivy title in lacrosse as a standout midfielder while earning Ivy Rookie of the Year and two-time All-American accolades. She helped the U.S. women’s national team win a pair of World Cup lacrosse gold medals in 2009 and 2013. Her achievements were recognized last month when she was inducted into the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster. “It was really cool,” said Reilly. “I was very honored and surprised. I honestly didn’t know the process was ongoing. I was called by Peter O’Donnell and the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame and the foundation board and it was pretty awesome.”

Reilly, the only female of seven inductees in the Class of 2020 which also included former Peddie boys’ lax star goalie and former Princeton Day School head coach Rich D’Andrea, was nominated by Princeton University head coach Chris Sailer. Sailer and former Shawnee head coach Susan Rudderow Murphy attended the induction ceremony along with Reilly’s family. “It’s a great honor,” said Reilly. “To all the people that have impacted me, this is special. I told my parents this is like your award, when I think now about that I’m a parent and if one of my children received something like that, there are so few opportunities as a parent to get the reminder and gratification that I did something well. It was really nice to be able to celebrate it with the two of them.” Reilly, who has two young boys with her husband, Brendan Reilly, a fellow Princeton University graduate and a former Tiger men’s lax standout, moved back from California two months ago to New Jersey to where her athletic career began, and is still doing her best in lacrosse as a coach and a professional player. To each endeavor she brings the passion and energy that made her a Hall of Fame player after a relatively late introduction to the sport. “I had some natural ability, I worked really hard, I never wanted to lose to anybody else,” said Reilly, who was inducted into the Shawnee Athletic Hall of Fame in 2018. “ T h a t c a u g h t C h r i s ’s eye. Being able to go to Princeton was tremendous in my development. It allowed me to play two sports. You can try to play two sports at a Duke or a UNC, but it’s

extremely challenging. I was on the Princeton lacrosse team with five other girls that played field hockey. There was a little core group of us who were playing both sports. The benefits of that was it kept me from burning out, it gave me a lot of different coaching experiences with different people.” From her playing days at Shawnee to Princeton, Reilly continued to mature into a more complete player. When she graduated from Princeton in 2009, she played on the first of two gold medal World Cup teams to kick off her postcollegiate playing career. “Those two World Cup experiences were very transformative for me,” said Reilly. “So much luck goes into being named onto those teams. There are so many strong players. You’re splitting hairs at the end of the day when you’re selecting the team and it goes from 24 to 18. I recognize that and I’m so grateful for those experiences for building some really lifelong-lasting friendships, some of those individuals are playing in the pro league, friends that you shared experiences with traveling abroad and competing around the country.” Since graduating from Princeton, Reilly has been spreading her love of the sport. She started Renegade Lacrosse for girls in Southern California four years ago, just the latest chance to expand the sport into new areas. “I really worked to grow lacrosse in Southern California at the grass roots level and do it the right way – what I mean by that is teaching, developing skills and fundamentals, and fun,” said Reilly. “That’s at the core of what I love doing.

JERSEY’S FINEST: Holly McGarvie Reilly, right, takes the ball upfield for the U.S. women’s national lacrosse team. Reilly, a 2009 Princeton alum who starred in lacrosse and field hockey for the Tigers, helped the U.S. win the gold medal at the 2013 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Women’s World Cup in Oshawa, Ontario. Last month, Reilly was inducted into the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame. (Photo by John Strohsacker, provided courtesy of USA Lacrosse) Now that we’ve moved back to New Jersey, I’ll look for opportunities to continue to do that while still running the company in California.” Reilly has remained true to her upbringing and her philosophies for healthy growth in lacrosse. She brought an opportunity to learn the game through Renegade’s clinics and recreational league, away from the higher pressure of club lacrosse. Renegade helps feed into local Southern California high schools as they begin to improve programs. “My goal would be to impress upon players and parents that playing rec is really great,” said Reilly. “It’s a great opportunity for taking risks and practicing different skills, even if you’re playing club. The club scene happens really quick. Sports are so fun to play and letting kids enjoy it for longer would be what my vision would be.” Utilizing that approach, Reilly was an ideal candidate for creating an opportunity in a non-traditional lacrosse area. She can identify with new players just picking up the game. Her own parents were not familiar with lacrosse when she jumped to it from softball. “I like to use that to empower girls and also demonstrate that I believe it’s so important to have variety in your athletic experiences, to play multiple sports,” said Reilly. “I think that a huge part of my success was tag teaming field hockey and lacrosse and using those cross-sport skills in the opposite season.” Reilly has been an ambassador for the game everywhere that she has been, first in England after graduating from Princeton, then in Washington, D.C., where she started the second public school team in the area, and finally in California as a high school coach and then Renegade director. Reilly is interested in working within the Camden community in the future, likely teaching or coaching in some capacity.

Everywhere she has shared her love of the game that began in middle school. “A lot of us decided to give it a try,” said Reilly. “Because I love a challenge, the sport was technically challenging, the strategy is so fun, it’s very similar to basketball and I love to play basketball and I never looked back.” Reilly continues to play now. As a 34-year-old mother of two, she has returned to the professional level with the new Athletes Unlimited league. “Being a mom is such a special experience,” said Reilly. “I’m one of three moms in the professional lacrosse league, Athletes Unlimited. We talk about super mom power. I’m so proud to be out here, not just so my kids see me play but for other young women who are thinking about any challenge or goal that they have and really being inspired by being a mom, and you can do that too if you want. It takes a little village. It’s cool to be out here with two other moms.” After starting a family and returning to the East Coast, Reilly is applying a balanced approach to her latest foray into the pro game. She first played professionally for the Boston Storm in the United Women’s Lacrosse League in 2016, and last played professionally in 2018 for the Philadelphia Fire of the Women’s Professional Lacrosse League. “At 34, I try to be more realistic,” said Reilly. “My training is different. I run a company. I have two kids. My husband travels 70 percent of the time. When I was called last October, I was so touched by that. And I thought, ‘But why? You have all these 20-yearolds, why would you ask me?’ The league stands for representation in talent and also in story-telling of people who have different ongoing lives. You’re a mom. Different sexual orientations, different backgrounds, different cultures, that’s a big part about Athletes

Unlimited. Showcasing a mom, I’m older but I can hang. There’s nobody out there that I can’t hang with. I’m not at the top, but I can hang. I’m going to be clawing all season to stay in there and see what I’m made of by the end of August.” Athletes Unlimited awards points to each player individually for positive statistics, and takes points away for negative statistics. Winning team members also accrue points, and players’ points are listed in the standings to measure their value to teams. Each week, players are drafted to four new teams that then face off the following weekend. Reilly went into the league telling herself that she would not focus on her points, just on playing well. “My role is entirely different than what it was when I was a senior at Shawnee, that was different than when I was a senior at Princeton, that was different than when I was a midfielder for Team USA in 2009, which was different than when I was a defender on Team USA in 2013,” said Reilly. “I found myself coaching myself a lot like I coach my players. You have to know your role. It’s a team game out there. As you see from the points even though I’m not looking, team success overrides individual success every day. I just want to contribute to team success. Knowing what I bring to the team and not trying to do more than that, everyone brings an element of their game and some players do more than others. Some players are leaps and bounds talent-wise above me, of course. I have to know what to bring and then bring that every day.” Tr u e t o f o r m , R e i l l y continues to push herself on the field each weekend to be a better player and teammate. It’s that drive that landed Reilly in the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame and continues to bring her success on and off the field. —Justin Feil

Fred Vystavel became the first Princeton University athlete to earn a medal at the Tokyo Olympics as he combined with Joachim Sutton to earn bronze last Wednesday (Eastern Time) in the men’s pair for Denmark. Vystavel ’16 and Sutton clocked a time of 6:19.88 over the 2,000-meter course at the Sea Forest Waterway in taking third with Croatia earning gold in 6:15.29 and Romania getting the silver at 6:16.58. “Watching Fred on the awards dock receiving his bronze medal brought me to tears,” said Princeton men’s heavyweight crew head coach Greg Hughes, refl ecting on Vystavel’s achievement. “It has been such a long, hard stretch of training over these last four years for him to arrive at this point. Through it all, he stayed true to his goals and never faltered. And, in typical Fred fashion, he’s done it with such an incredible attitude and grace. He’s been an inspiration to all of us and I am so proud to see him win that medal.” Vystavel’s bronze gave Princeton athletes 60 medals at the Olympics with Ashleigh Johnson ’17 being the last Tiger to earn a medal when she helped the U.S women’s water polo team take gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics. A day later, Princeton added a 61st medal to its storied Olympic history as former Tiger men’s heavyweight rowing star Tom George ’18 collected a bronze medal for Great Britain in the men’s 8. George and Great Britain clocked a time of 5:25.73 in taking third with New Zealand posting a winning time of 5:24.64 in earning gold with Germany coming in second at 5:25.60. The final featured two other former Princeton crew stars as Nick Mead ’17 rowed for the U.S. boat which placed fourth and Tim Masters ’15 competed for sixth-place finisher Australia. “I am so proud of Tom and pumped to see him win that bronze,” said Hughes, reacting to George’s accomplishment. “He has taken on the challenges of the last four years with impressive focus and commitment and it has been inspiring to watch. I know how hard he’s worked to earn this medal and it is so awesome to see him win it.”

Princeton women’s rowing legend Gevvie Stone ’07 fell just short of earning a medal as she and Kristi Wagner finished fifth in the double sculls fi nal last Tuesday. The U.S. pair came in at 6:52.98 as Romania cruised to gold in an Olympic record of 6:41.03 with New Zealand taking second in 6:44.82 and the Netherlands securing the bronze with a time of 6:45.73. Stone, who earned a silver medal in single sculls at the 2016 Rio Olympics, will now resume her medical career as a resident in emergency medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Mass. Recently graduated Tiger women’s open crew standout Hannah Scott ’21 and the Great Britain quadruple sculls team cruised to victory in the B Final, winning by 3.86 seconds to fi nish seventh overall. Great Britain clocked a winning time of 6:25.14 with New Zealand taking second in 6:29.00 and France coming in third at 6:29.70. Another Princeton open rowing standout Claire Collins ’19 and the United States four had their best time of the Olympics, posting a 6:33.65 to win the B Final and also fi nish seventh overall. That time was almost 20 seconds better than their repechage mark and 10 seconds faster than their heat run. Denmark took second in 6:34.72 and Romania placed third in 6:35.12. Legendary Princeton women’s water polo goalie Johnson and the United States national team stayed on track for another gold medal as they defeated the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) 18-5 last Friday to complete pool play. Johnson, who helped the U.S. win gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics, was sparkling in goal as she recorded 16 stops in the victory. The U.S., which went 3-1 in pool play, went on to defeat Canada 16-5 in the quarterfinals on Tuesday morning as Johnson made 14 saves in the victory. The American squad, which also won gold at the 2012 London Olympics, will have a rematch with the ROC in the semis on August 5 with the victor advancing to the gold medal game on August 7. Johnson’s classmate, former Princeton women’s track throwing star Julia Ratcliffe ’17, was in the mix for a

medal herself as she competed for New Zealand in the women’s hammer throw on Tuesday. She ended up finishing ninth with a best throw of 72.69 meters. Anita Wlodarczyk of Poland won the gold with a heave of 78.48 with Wang Zheng of China coming in second at 77.03 and Malwina Kopron of Poland placing third in 75.49. Ratcliffe, a NCAA national champion and Commonwealth Games winner, made the finals with a heave of 73.20 meters which placed her sixth in the opening round on July 31. Another Tiger woman’s track great, Lizzie Bird ’17, who is representing Great Britain, is going for a medal on August 4, having made the final of the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, advancing on time in the third heat last Saturday Bird clocked a time of 9:24.34 in an extremely close heat where she finished fifth. Hyvin Kiyeng Jepkemoi of Kenya placed first in the race in a time of 9:23.17 as the race went down to the wire. The final is slated for August 4. Current Princeton men’s track standout Ed Trippas ’22 competed for Australia in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase and finished 11th in the second heat on July 29 with a time of 8:29.90. Trippas, who has earned Honorable Mention All-America honors in the steeplechase in 2019 and competed in the event at the NCAA East Regional in both 2019 and 2018, will be back on campus this fall where he will be serving as a captain of the men’s cross country team. Another current member of the Tiger track squad, rising sophomore Sondre Guttormsen, competed on Friday night in the pole vault representing Norway. Guttormsen recorded a best mark of 5.50 meters to finish 11th in Group A as he didn’t qualify for the final. A former Princeton standout, Nathan Crumpton ’08, was on the track Friday night, racing in the 100 meters for American Samoa. He clocked a time of 11.27 to take ninth in his heat. On the fencing strip at the Makuhari Messe, rising Tiger junior Mohamed Hamza ended the competition for Princeton’s four Olympic fencers as he competed for the Egyptian men’s foil team in its final bout on Sunday.

PU Sports Roundup PU Women’s Hoops Adds Paro to Staff

Former Tufts University women’s basketball player Lilly Paro has been hired as the director of basketball operations for the Princeton University women’s hoops team, the program said last week. Paro graduated from Tufts in 2020 where she was coached by current Princeton head coach Carla Berube for two of her three seasons. She saw action in 78 games, averaging 2.7 points and adding 63 three-pointers. The Jumbos went to the Division III Sweet 16 all four years she was at Tufts. After graduating with a degree in psychology, Paro was a learning specialist at the Connelly School of the Holy Child in Potomac, Md. While there, she coached basketball and lacrosse and was a volunteer assistant coach at Smith College. “I am incredibly grateful and honored to work for this prestigious institution, program, staff, and group of players,” said Paro, reflecting on her new role. “It is an opportunity of a lifetime and one that I will not take for granted.” Berube, for her part, is happy to be reunited with her former player.

“We are truly excited to welcome Lilly to the Princeton women’s basketball family,” said Berube. “Lilly embodies everything it means to be a Tiger. She has a tireless work ethic, she’s detail-oriented, has a high basketball IQ, and will bring a consistent, positive energy to everything she does. As a former high academic student-athlete at Tufts University, Lilly will relate well to our student athletes’ experiences. Lilly will most certainly be a tremendous asset to our staff, our program, athletic department, and the campus-wide community.”

“I am proud of the work our team put in all year during unprecedented times,” said Princeton head coach Chris Sailer. “We made the most of our situation and focused on improving in all areas, to see that work in the classroom pay off with these honors is special to everyone involved with Princeton lacrosse.

SEEING PROGRESS: Former Princeton University women’s hockey star Kelsey Koelzer ’17 shows her intensity as a star defenseman for the Tigers. Koelzer, who went on to play in the National Women’s Hockey League and is now the head coach of the Arcadia University women’s hockey program, is adding another line to her impressive resume as she has joined the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks as a scout in the team’s player personnel department. Koelzer will remain as the coach of Arcadia, which is set to begin its inaugural season of competition this fall. In taking that position, she became the first Black woman to serve as an NCAA hockey head coach. While at Princeton, Koelzer was an AHCA first-team All-America honoree and the 2016 Ivy League Player of the Year, helping lead the Tigers to the Ivy League title and an NCAA tournament bid that season.

Lior Levy and Davon Black developed a connection on the basketball court years ago playing for the Princeton High boys’ hoops program. The two formed an insideout punch for PHS with the 6’8 Levy starring in the paint and the 5’11 Black getting it done on the perimeter. “It is the best playing with Davon,” said Levy, a 2013 PHS alum who went on to play at Franklin and Marshall, serving as a team captain in his senior season in 2016-17. “Ever since high school we know exactly where each other are going to be on the court. We have always found each other.” Black, a 2012 PHS grad, reached out to Levy, who was teaching English in southern Israel and playing in the country’s Third Division pro hoops league, to ask him to play the LoyalTees squad this season in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer

Basketball League. “Lior is one of my favorite teammates,” said Black, in reflecting on getting Levy to join the squad. Last Wednesday evening, the longtime pals teamed up to help LoyalTees defeat Majeski Foundation 57-45 in the second game of the league’s best-of-three championship series before a standing-room-only crowd at t he Com mu nit y Park courts to earn a sweep and win its third straight crown. Levy, who had been coming off the bench this summer in his first season for LoyalTees, knew he was going to assume a greater role with star forward Nick Davidson sidelined for game two with a leg injury after starring in the opener. “I figured that I would probably be playing more,” said Levy. “Nick missed a couple of games in the beginning of the playoffs so I knew my role would be increased based off of that.” Making the most of the

opportunity, Levy scored 13 p oi nt s a n d g r abb e d eight rebounds in the win as LoyalTees ended with a final record of 10-1 “I was ready to go, it is always fun to get out there and play with these guys,” said Levy, who scored nine points in the first 20 minutes of the contest as LoyalTees built a 31-25 halftime lead over Majeski, which is comprised of players from The College of New Jersey men’s hoops team. “I felt last game that I was a bit cold. I made sure to get some shots up early before the game this time and I felt good.” Black, for his part, had to leave the game with a back injury in the second half, writhing in pain on the ground for minutes and getting an ice pack before returning to the game as LoyalTees pulled away to the title, leading by 50-30 at one point in the second half. “T his what we do, we have a team full of unselfish guys,” said Black, who scored five points in the clincher and averaged six points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals a game in the championship series. “We had one down when Nick went down. We have been here before. Our core is the same every year. We knew we had to dig deep. Nick is a big piece of what we are but all five of us could do it.” Learning that Davidson was unavailable, Black sent a pregame message to Levy. “I texted Lior saying I need a big game out of you,” recalled Black with a laugh. “He told me it is back to 2012 and he has got me always.” Levy and the LoyalTees squad had extra motivation in the wake of the untimely death of Tuwmaa Parker, a friend to some of the team’s players whose funeral service was held earlier in the day. “We were all thinking of him too and dedicated it to him,” added Levy, referring to Parker’s passing. In assessing the late surge by LoyalTees which was led by a 21-point, six-rebound performance from playoff MVP Zahrion Blue, Black pointed to the team’s dedication to each other and victory.

“It is chemistry, we have been there before,” said Black. “W hen times get hard, we play defense. When you have a team full of guys who can play offense and just as good defense, that is the main thing. We are unselfish, we don’t care who scores. We care about the end result and that is winning.” For Levy, winning a title in his first season with the team made for a special summer. “It is awesome, first of all they are all great guys,” said Levy. “I played with some of them in the past and I know how they play. They know how to play with me. It was pretty easy for me to jump in even though they have had this squad for a couple of years now.” Helping LoyalTees achieve the title three-peat was a matter of coming full circle for Black. “Growing up, I watched Ivy Inn and Winberie’s, they always won two, they didn’t get that third one so this is very important,” said Black. “I got some young kids who I train, they look up to me. I looked up to Bobby [former PHS and TCNJ star Bobby Davison who was one of the referees last Wednesday] growing up. Now is my turn to give back to them. It is awesome, it just goes around.” Black and his teammates are primed to keep their title run going in 2022. “Always, we will be together every year,” asserted Black. “LoyalTees will be back, it is always fun to come out here.” —Bill Alden

As LoyalTees Swept Its Way to Summer Hoops 3-Peat, Sharp-Shooting Blue Emerged as Top Gun, Playoff MVP When Zahrion Blue joined the LoyalTees team in the Princeton Recreation Depar tment Men’s Summer Basketball League a few years ago, he was one of the young guns for the battletested squad. This summer, though, the former Princeton High and current Lincoln University hoops star Blue has emerged as the top gun for LoyalTees. The 6’4, 200-pound guard was the league’s leading scorer this summer, tallying 24.2 points a game, and was named as a first-team All-League performer and regular season MVP. Last Wednesday evening before an overflow crowd at t he Com mu nit y Park courts, Blue helped trigger LoyalTees to a third straight league title as it defeated the Majeski Foundation 57-45 to earn a sweep of the league’s best-of-three championship series and the team’s third straight title. “We just wanted to win, we wanted a three-peat,” said Blue, who scored 21 points and had six rebounds and two assists in the victory and was later named the Foreal Wooten Playoff MVP as LoyalTees went 10-1 this

summer. “We came out here and you can’t take them lightly. We got up a little lead and we wanted to keep pushing it and making it greater.” With star forward Nick Davidson sidelined for game two due to a leg injury, Blue assumed more responsibility. “I don’t even know Nick was hurt,” said Blue. “When they said we didn’t have Nick, I knew I had to do more on the rebounding and score more because he is a rebounding type of guy and a scoring type of guy.” Wit h B lu e s cor i ng 14 points in the first half, LoyalTees built a 31-25 lead at intermission. “I was feeling it, I was telling my team that I was feeling it,” said Blue. “Every single game, my team expects me to go out and just be me. They look for me even though I am the younger guy in the group.” LoyalTees standout guard and manager Davon Black credited Blue with the meeting those expectations. “Z has grown each year; we told him this year, this is your team, we have done

this,” said Black of Blue, who scored more than 1,000 points in his PHS career and has tallied 743 points in two-plus seasons for Lincoln, averaging 12.4 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists a game. “I have led the league in scoring, Terrance [Bailey] led the league in scoring. We have guys who have done it so we are going to follow your lead. Whatever you do, we are going to follow.” For Blue, getting it done as the playoff MVP was a source of pride. “That means a lot; I just come out here and try to score, try to rebound, try to pass, and I try to play defense,” said Blue. “I just try to do everything, like a LeBron [James]-type of guy.” Looking ahead to next summer, Blue and LoyalTees are primed to try for another title. “We just come out here every day trying to compete,” said Blue. “ We have got a goo d chemistry, a good group of guys, and we are going to stick together. We are looking for four next year.” —Bill Alden

Mercer Special Hockey Seeking New Players

The Mercer Special Hockey program (also known as the Mercer Bulldogs), a nonprofit for children with special needs who play hockey, is back in action. In 2020-21, the Bulldog hockey players were unable

to have a season due to COVID-19 concerns. Due to the efforts of junior coach volunteers, Andreas Oskiper (a rising senior at Princeton High) and Collin Penders (a rising senior at The Pennington School), who are travel hockey teammates, the program was able to recently entertain the Bulldog players and their families through a Virtual Bingo night. The event took place via Zoom on June 18 and between Facebook fundraisers and cash and check donations from families and friends, it raised $3200 for Mercer Special Hockey. The Bulldogs, who have held practices at the Mercer County Park rink and games at the Lawrenceville School in past seasons, are looking to expand their team. Boys and girls of all abilities are welcome to come out even if it is their first time on skates. The program aims to provide an opportunity for kids of all ages to experience the thrill of ice skating or ice hockey. Families having a child who may be interested in skating with the team should contact Jackie Zohn, the president and coach of the Mercer Bulldogs, at mercer. specialhockey@gmail.com.
