Leslie Burger’s eyes teared upas she wrote her name, large and

joyous, on her first library card.In those days, at the library Burg-er visited every Saturday inBridgeport, Conn., you could nottake out a book until you wereable write your name in it.

“I had this incredible sense of empowerment knowing thateverything in that building wasmine,” Burger said.

It was at that moment Burgerrealized she wanted to be a librar-ian.

Almost instantly, she became a“crazy, avid reader.” Burgerpoured through favorites such as“A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” andpiles of biographies and mem-oirs.

Later, she got her first after-school job at that same local li-brary. Burger recalled the dank,musty, sometimes creepy stackswhere she’d reshelve the books,and the glass floors that created a

feeling of transparency.It was thereshe discoveredbeing a librar-ian was a ca-reer that, forher, had greatpotential. Shewas right.

After earn-ing a BA at theUniversity of Hartford, Burgerstudied under a professor in theMaster of Library Sciences pro-gram at the University of Mary-land. To Burger, this professorwas an incredible gift.

“She taught me how librariesare life-changing institutions. Irealized I could change the worldas an activist librarian,” Burgersaid, “and spent 42 years doingit.”

Burger has accomplishedmany things in her career. Shehas served as president of boththe American and New Jersey Li-

If you happen to meander upthe stairs to Princeton Public Li-brary’s second floor, you’ll findyourself staring through the lensof Alan Kesselhaut and into theheart of Ice-land.

“Iceland is aphotograph-er’s paradise,”

Kesselhautsaid. “I want-ed to show theviewer what Isaw, not justwhat the cam-era saw.”

These areperhaps interesting words to hearfrom a professional photographer

– since usually the camera is themedium with which we expect tosee the subject. Kesselhaut, how-ever, is specialized at expandingthe scope of which you see thesubject with a technique that hasevolved as technology has. It’scalled High Dynamic Range.

The layman may know thiscomputer-friendly technique byits acronym, HDR, but does not

know the fullness of its potentialto enliven the photographer’sportfolio.

“High Dynamic Range is aprocess designed to overcome thelimitations of our cameras,”Kesselhaut illuminated. “Sensorsare not able to capture the fullrange of contrast in a scene. Welose details in the highlights andwe lose details in the shadows. Ishoot a series of images at differ-ent exposures. Then using soft-

ware, I merge images to recapturethe details in the highlights andthe details in the shadows.”

Kesselhaut went on to explainhow the human eye can see 12 to14 different exposure values fromlight to dark. He said how we cansee some things, even in the shad-ows, and everything in the sun-light. A camera, no matter whatthe quality or cost, can onlysee seven to eight exposure val-ues.

As a photographer who at onepoint worked in the time-consum-ing and romantic atmosphere of the dark room, Kesselhaut feelshis new process allows him to ex-periment a lot more.

”I never feel it’s cheating. I feelit gives us the opportunity to do

better art,” he said about using acomputer to amplify his images.“Impressionists were able to goout in the field and paint outsidebecause someone thought to in-vent paint in a tube. Back then,people speculated that they werecheating. But it was art.”

An individual who set the stage

for exploring the full range of aphotograph, Kesselhaut said, wasAnsel Adams, who used to takephotographs at an extremely fastshutter pace and then performeda process called “dodging andburning” in the dark room. Hewas the first photographer to ac-tually do HDR. However, what

took Adams weeks or evenmonths to do with a photographtakes Kesselhaut hours.

Kesselhaut teaches his philoso-phy to students at the PrincetonPhoto Workshop – the organiza-tion Kesselhaut founded where heteaches photographers of differ-ent skill levels how to take betterpictures. The workshop includesclasses from introduction to pho-tography to fieldwork, composi-tion and Adobe programs, and he

also has a summer camp forteens.

“I have to go into a shoot andtake a photograph that has a sub-

ject, with the best exposure, andfocus on my best shot. It is onlythen that I come home and workon it. I make them into a piece of art. Once I bring them to my com-puter, I am not only a photogra-pher, I am an artist.”

Kesselhaut will be giving a lec-ture on his work and HDRprocess along with DanielleBursk, another exhibited artist,at the Princeton Public Library inthe Community Room on Friday,June 30 at 7 p.m. For more infor-mation on his workshop, visitprincetondigitalphotoworkshop.com.

This isn’t the first time Servaishas been drafted. In 2011, Servais,a native of Larkspur, Col., wasdrafted in the 36th round by theteam based less than an houraway from his hometown – theColorado Rockies.

Servais decided not to signwith Colorado because he said hismind was set on playing baseball

One might imagine how Amer-icans celebrated their independ-ence in the days of yore: an after-noon picnic, men cleaning theirmuskets, women sipping tea andchildren scattered about playingto the beat of live music. In 2015

in Princeton, a jubilee on July 4 ata local institution is preciselythat.

Morven Museum and Gardenwas previously the home of Richard Stockton, one of the fiveNew Jersey signers of the Decla-ration of Independence. Of thefive men’s residences, Morven isthe only one opened to the public.It acted as the country’s first and

temporary White House – sprawl-ing, rather fittingly, over the largeand well-maintained property at55 Stockton St.

Given the museum’s history,“the July 4 Jubilee is a naturalfit,” explained Director of Devel-opment Barbara Webb. “We liketo think of it as an old-fashionedcelebration where families can re-

ally get in touch with the heart of the holiday. It’s a carefree after-noon where people can bring pic-nics or eat barbecue, listen tomusic and go booth to booth.”

The booths, provided especial-ly for children who come to theevent, include various demon-strations of “early-American do-mestic life,” Webb said. Therewill be activities for everyonefrom bread baking to papermak-ing. An ice cream making boothcan even entice the not-so-into

history student, and the gun-smithing booth invites guests tosee how to reproduce, clean andfire a musket used during theRevolutionary period.

The jubilee’s regular GeorgeWashington will be stepping outof the spotlight this year to wel-come, instead, an eager BenjaminFranklin. Due to his interest inlight, he will be inviting flash

photography for all of thosewanting a picture.

There will be a barbecue foodtruck on site as well as live musicon the porch. The band playingincludes some members of thePrinceton-based Riverside Blue-grass Band, who have headlinedmost of Morven’s July 4 celebra-tions.

“Revolutionary Tea,” a pro-gram led by history re-enactorStacy Flora Roth, will demon-strate why tea was such a signifi-cant part of life during the Revo-lution. She will dive, dressed headto toe in original garb, into whythe fashion-conscious posed withtea sets, if tea had something todo with Britain losing its Ameri-can colonies, and other tea lore,history, poetry and song.

In addition to outdoor activi-ties, there will be an artistic op-

portunity led by Arts Council of Princeton instructor Libby Ram-age in the second floor gallery. In-dividuals of all ages can have a goat drawing pieces from the cur-rent exhibit of New Jersey 19thcentury chairs. Ramage will as-sist those interested in creatingtheir own chalk or oil pastel ren-dition of a chair that intriguestheir fancy.

The July 4th Jubilee is free andopen to the public from noon to 3

p.m. on Saturday, July 4. Guestsare invited to park at the Prince-ton Theological Seminary, Monu-ment Hall or on the street. Formore information, visitwww.morven.org or call (609) 924-8144, ext. 113.

hrow your hats in the air, pick

up a beach chair, put on a nice

pair of sandals and relax ...

summer is here!

Life changes here in New Jersey for

two-and-a-half months once school

lets out for summer recess. The kid-

dies are home, which makes us changeour normal routine. Traffic eases up at

the typical before-school and after-

school rushes, and families head out of

town for vacation.

We here at The Sun don’t take vaca-

tions. Well, that’s not true, but our ded-

ication to providing the best coverage

of town doesn’t waiver one bit. If any-

thing, summer allows us to focus even

more on the special people, places and

things that make our town so wonder-

ful.

Every summer, the end of the school

year means the temporary end of school coverage – stories and photos

of students and teachers doing a com-

munity service project, of high school

sports teams and of noteworthy ac-

complishments. But that doesn’t mean

our pages will be blank.

True, summer often does signal a

slowdown in “official” town- and

school district-related business, but

there is plenty of newsworthy happen-

ings around town to keep your interest

piqued.

Summer is a time when we often

reach out to you, our readers, for a lit-

tle help.

• Have an interesting story idea

about an annual summer activity you,

your family and/or your local group

partakes in? We’d love to cover it.

• Know someone or something that

deserves to be spotlighted in a specialway? We’d love to write about it.

• Take photos of you and your fami-

ly enjoying the warm summer weath-

er, either in town or on your family va-

cation? We’d love to print them for

your neighbors to see.

Summer holds a special place in

everyone’s heart, even if you’re not a

lover of sometimes-oppressive heat.

Help us make this summer special by

keeping in touch, providing us feed-

back and helping us be the best paper

we can. Enjoy the season!

Adolescence can be a trial-and-error de-velopmental phase for teenagers, no mattertheir walk of life. But, for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender youth, the chal-lenge is often set above the rest. Many faceharassment and abuse, and unfortunatelysee a lack of support from both adults andtheir surrounding community.

These obstacles often put LGBT youth ata greater risk for mental health problemsand risk behaviors. Being afforded the op-portunity to foster pro-social attitudes and

facilitate a sense of connectedness amongstudents, their educators and health offi-cials, aims to decrease signs of depression,suicidal thoughts, substance abuse and un-excused absences – just to name a few.

HiTOPS, a Princeton-based health edu-

cation and advocacy organization dedicat-

ed to ensuring every adolescent safe pas-sage to adulthood, provides comprehensivesexuality education and promotes healthyrelationships and supportive connections,while specifically targeting the town’sLGBT youth.

“It all started when we were still a prettyyoung organization, doing clinical care forgirls at the time, implementing Teen Coun-cil and partnering with local schools,” re-called Elizabeth Walters, HiTOPS’ directorof education. “At the time, we had a youngman from The Hun School of Princetoncome to us and say, ‘you have to do some-

thing for gay kids in Princeton.’ I think if you asked those kids now, who are proba-bly in their 40s – there was nothing like ourLGBTQ program at the time. It wasgroundbreaking. Kids yearned for socialconnection, education and support.”

Not until a year ago did HiTOPS really

start to see a lot of transgender kids com-ing in for help, and because their issuesseemed to be so different, the organizationtook an even deeper plunge.

Corrine O’Hara, HiTOPS’ LGBTQ coor-dinator and health educator, has providedsexuality education to adolescents at Hi-TOPS for 21 years.

She facilitates First and Third, a bi-monthly peer-to-peer educational programand social support group for LGB youth,and PFLAG, a monthly support group forparents, family and friends of lesbians andgays.

O’Hara is co-founder of the statewideannual LGBT Conference – formerlyknown as the GSA Forum – and is the cre-ator of Snapshot of My School, a tool used

Four eighth graders, each hail-ing from a different municipality,were confirmed as members of the Princeton United MethodistChurch on Pentecost, Sunday,May 24.

“We welcome them as Disciples

of Christ and pray that as theycontinue their journey of grow-ing in faith, that they will experi-ence this congregation as a placethat encourages and nurturesthem,” said Rev. Jana Purkis-Brash, senior pastor at PUMC.

Those publicly affirmed in-clude Lincoln Roth of Princeton,Max Gessner of Princeton Junc-tion, Charles Hayes of Skillmanand Caileigh Groff of Hillsbor-ough.

"I decided to join this church

because they make worshipingand learning about God fun andinteresting," Roth said.

The four teenagers acceptedthe grace of God and pledged tobe the idol’s disciples. "Curiosity,

questions and doubts are part of any faith journey,” shared Rev.Susan Victor, who co-taught theconfirmation class alongsidePhoebe Quaynor, a PrincetonTheological Seminary student.

Victor is also a deacon in theUnited Methodist Church, and acounselor and chaplain at Wom-anspace Inc.

“Through the year-long confir-mation class, our children wereencouraged to question and thinkabout what their faith meant tothem, so they could make it en-tirely their own,” she said.

As Roth added, "The confirma-tion process was fun – we went ona retreat, watched ‘movies fromthe Bible’ and did hands-on activi-ties to help us learn more aboutGod."

Roth is looking forward to vol-unteering at Vacation Bible

School, from Aug. 11-13."VBS is really fun. We play

games, do arts and crafts and singsongs about God,” he said.

This month, lesbian, gay, bisex-ual and transgender pride is

proudly celebrated from Prince-ton to Pittsburgh, Pa., Austin,Texas, to Portland, Ore., andeverywhere in between.

Every year, the month-long cel-ebration hopes to shine a positivelight on the LGBT community, byspreading the notions of equalrights, self-affirmation, commu-nity building and, of course, theacceptance of sexual diversityand gender variance.

In the past, the last Sunday of

every June was designated as“Gay Pride Day,” which laterturned to “Gay Pride Month.”But, as the celebration came togrow and prosper both in size andin accompaniment, it is nowmore commonly recognized asLGBT Pride Month.

Celebrations include anythingand everything from pride pa-rades, parties and picnics to con-certs, workshops and even sym-posiums.

Princetonian Holly Nelson, a

professor at Rutgers University,expressed that while she does notdo anything special to commemo-rate the holiday, she acknowl-edges it.

Making note of recent pop cul-

ture, Nelson said: “The wholeCaitlyn Jenner story seems sovery Hollywood to me. The storyshould be about the people inyour life, your experiences and

struggles, and not so much on theglitz and the glam.”

The Princeton Symphony Or-chestra is slated to pay homage tothe legacy of Founder Portia Son-nenfeld in light of the organiza-tion’s 35th anniversary season,“Celebrating the Creativity of

Women.”PSO Music Director Rossen Mi-lanov is the brains behind thisforthcoming season’s ambitiousprogramming, which only rein-forces the company’s commit-ment to new music as one of therejuvenating forces in classicalmusic today.

Marking this season, Milanov’ssixth with PSO, the director con-tinues down the adventurouspath of artistry and leadershipinitially set off by Sonnenfield.

Sonnenfeld, an all-around mu-sician – pianist, cellist, conductorand teacher – first taught and con-ducted the orchestra at PrincetonHigh School where she inspiredgenerations of young musicians.

In 1980, Sonnenfeld foundedThe Little Orchestra of Prince-ton, the pre-cursor to today’s PSO.

Leading PSO for seven years,Sonnenfeld not only programmedand conducted world premieres,

but also introduced international-ly known soloists.

She further shaped the orches-tra’s organizational underpin-ning to be strong and vibrant, at-tracting leading philanthropistsand civic leaders to champion hercause.

Sonnenfeld’s programming

earned PSO its first ASCAPaward, laying the groundwork forthe legacy of unique program-ming that are all hallmarks of today’s PSO.

“Our anniversary theme hasparticular significance to our or-ganization as we were founded bya woman of great vision, andhave been led by several womensince, including these many pastseasons with Executive DirectorMelanie Clarke,” Milanov said.“Our featured artists, like them,

are inspirational women at theforefront of their respectivefields.”

Season highlights are said toinclude performances of worksby five powerhouse soloist com-posers, all of whom are uncom-monly gifted women with flour-ishing careers in music. The line-up includes Jennifer Koh, AnnaClyne, Jing Jing Luo, CarolineShaw and Sarah Kirkland Snider.

The anniversary celebrationalso features symphonies byRachmaninoff, Schubert, EdwardT. Cone, Mozart, Brahms and avariety of works by Kodály,Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, RichardStrauss and Johann Strauss Jr.

On Sept. 20, 2011, my husbandof 23 years, Jay Dominick, gavethe gift of life to our then 15-year-old son, Thomas Dominick, by do-nating a kidney.

He did it without hesitationand with abundant love after see-ing our son go through hemodial-ysis for nearly three months.

He is our hero and we love himimmensely.Thomas is doing great, and so

far Jay's kidney is functioning ex-tremely well – although Thomaswill have to stay on anti-rejectionmedications his whole life to pre-vent his body from rejecting Jay'skidney.

In the fall of 2013, McCarterTheatre Center reorganized itseducation and engagement pro-grams to more dramatically im-pact its community. With greaterfocus on after-school classes, in-school residencies and communi-

ty partnerships, McCarter de-signed an agenda that aimed toenliven art throughout the re-gion, especially in areas withfewer artistic resources.

This spring, McCarter an-nounced it received a grant forthe education and engagementprograms – one of the largest inits history – that would strength-en the artistic outlook of thou-

sands of locals annually.The James E. and Diane W.

Burke Foundation, better knownas the Burke Foundation, award-ed McCarter Theatre a three-year$300,000 grant in support of itsinitiatives.

“This grant means that overthe three-year period, thousandsof young people in the area will

be able to have meaningful partic-ipation in the performing arts,”said McCarter Theatre ArtisticDirector Emily Mann in a release.The programs will “bring therichness of the theatrical experi-ence to children who would other-wise not be able to enjoy themagic of theater,” added JamesBurke, Burke Foundation officerand McCarter trustee.

The first-year directive willoffer students throughout thestate and community membersmore access to art and theater.Funds will be given to McCarter’sexisting in-school programs atPrinceton Public Schools, Tren-ton Central High School, NewBrunswick Regional Schools,Middlesex County Vocational

Technical High School and Tren-ton’s Grace Dunn Middle School,among others. McCarter plans toadd to the fully subsidized ticketsfor student matinees and willarrange buses for schools whoseart programs are limited primari-ly by the cost for transportation.

“Women make up 47 percent of the overall workforce and consti-tute only about 27 percent of thescience and engineering work-force,” said Judy Hutton, CEO atYWCA Princeton.

According to Hutton, fewerthan one in 10 employed scien-tists and engineers are minoritywomen.

“As part of our mission to em-power women, we strongly be-lieve the time has come to encour-age young women and girls topursue interests and careers inSTEM,” Hutton added.

YWCA Princeton will intro-duce a new program, said to ex-pose young girls to science andtechnology in a fun environmentthrough FIRST LEGO League Ro-botics, later this summer.

The course will be offered as

part of an initiative in collabora-

tion with and, of course, hostedby Princeton University’s Schoolof Engineering and Applied Sci-ence, and is promised to be bothinteractive and intergenera-tional.

Girls who are interested in theprogram can join one of twoYWCA Princeton Robotics Teamsand compete in the forthcomingFLL season.

“The girls who sign up for thisprogram, and their families, willnot only experience competitionstructured and fueled by FIRSTLEGO League, but they will alsobe interacting with a highly-skilled group of volunteers, somewho will be modeling another oneof our goals – the developmentand mentoring of leaders repre-senting our ‘Under Age 30’ demo-graphic,” said Nancy Faherty,YWCA Princeton’s director of ad-vocacy and development.

FIRST LEGO League encour-ages kids to celebrate research,

science and discovery in a funand supportive team-like environ-ment.

In addition to creating robotsusing LEGO Mindstorms, eachyear FLL releases a new chal-lenge based on current scientificissues. Participating teams canlearn more about the science be-hind the challenge theme and usetheir creativity to design a solu-tion – or modify an existing solu-tion – in hope of solving a real-world problem.

This year, the global chal-lenge’s theme is titled, “TRASHTREK.” For a brief preview of the theme, visithttp://tinyurl.com/le49pjz.

While FLL teams work on therobot game and the project eachyear, they are guided by the FLL“Core Values,” which encourageparticipants to respect theirteammates, coaches and their“competitors,” all while in theprocess of learning and having

fun.Dr. Cheryl Rowe-Rendleman,

whose resume runs the gamut – consultant, YWCA Princeton“Tribute to Women” honoree,board member and Princeton

University graduate – is spear-

heading this initiative.A scientist herself, Rowe-

Rendleman has mentored count-less young girls over the years.

“My expectation for the pro-gram is to create a positive expo-sure to young, potential scientistsby showing them a path to an in-teresting range of careers. I wantthese girls to know that a careerpath in science should not be ar-duous, but that it should be fun,”she explained.

“Programs such as FIRSTLEGO League Robotics providean understanding of how thingswork, develop problem-solvingskills and promote hands-onlearning, and more importantlymakes it possible for kids to lovescience.”

And while YWCA Princetonhas already done a phenomenal

job of highlighting the manywomen who have succeeded inthe fields of math and science, thestories behind these talented indi-

viduals, their struggles and theirsuccesses have been underreport-ed, officials said.

On a national level, YWCA hasalready vetted similar initiativessuch as “TechGYRLS,” “STEMSavvy” and “Million WomenMentors.”

“Research clearly indicatesgirls will achieve their full poten-tial in STEM and pursue post-sec-ondary education if they begin tosee this environment change andif they see more women in leader-ship and decision-making roles,”Faherty said. “Our YWCA Prince-ton introduces this new programwith hopes to do just that.”

Interested families with girlsaged 9 to 14 are invited to attendinformation sessions on Satur-days, Aug. 15 and 22 from 11 a.m.to 1 p.m., and on Mondays, Aug. 17and 24 from 6-8 p.m. at the FriendCenter Convocation Room atPrinceton University.

At these sessions, families and

girls will get a chance to under-stand the program, ask questionsand learn more about robotics ingeneral and about being a part of

YWCA Princeton to introduceall-girls robotics team this summer

increase the amount of scholar-ship funds McCarter offers fami-lies around the area. Financialaid has been one of the theater’scommitments to help individualsexperience programs such assummer theater camps and after-school theater classes. With$300,000 from the Burke Founda-tion, according to the release, thiscommitment will be all the morestrengthened.

Another community-focusedmission to come as a result of thegrant in the first year will be topartner with various organiza-tions and create new program-ming. Eden Autism Services,Homefront and Princeton Com-munity Housing are a few localinstitutions that have partneredwith McCarter with sights set onaffecting thousands of residents

and families with positive shiftsin the arts.

Eden Autism’s Chief Develop-ment Officer Melinda Gorny

McAleer said her organizationhas worked before with McCarterto make it easier for individualswith disabilities to see the shows.

“This grant opens doors to newexperiences for members of thecommunity who are sometimeslimited by constraints that areplaced upon them. We are thrilledand grateful that organizationslike McCarter and funders likeMr. and Mrs. Burke embrace theautism community and acknowl-edge that our children and adultsare fully capable of experiencingthe joy of live theater,” McAleersaid.

McCarter previously made ad- justments in three of its shows soit would address sensory mattersand create an environment moreaccessible for people with autismor other developmental disabili-ties. McAleer said it alleviated the

concerns of many families, madethem comfortable going to showswithout disrupting other audi-ence members and enabled them

to enjoy live theater.“Theater education increases

creativity, collaboration andartistry among participants, andwe are thrilled that so many moreyoung people from diverse eco-nomic backgrounds will have thechance to experience the kind of learning and growth our pro-grams are designed to provide,”McCarter’s Director of Educationand Engagement Erica Nagelsaid in a release. “Through trans-portation funding, ticket subsi-dies, expanded in-school pro-grams, new community partner-ships and increased scholarshipmoney, the generosity and visionof the Burke Foundation hasmade it possible to address theareas identified as the most sig-nificant barriers to youth artsparticipation and access in ourcommunity.”

Psychologist Carole Bienstockwas just leaving her book groupat the Princeton Public Librarywhen she explained that eventhough she does not have any cel-ebratory plans for LGBT PrideMonth, she is always intriguedwhen reading about the LGBTcommunity.

“My husband has been askingme lately, ‘What does transgendermean?’ And yesterday, there wasan article in the New York Timesabout an 18-year-old girl who un-derwent transgender surgery, andmy husband and I discussed it indepth for a long time,” she said.“Reading an article like that onereally helped us to better under-stand the meaning behind trans-

gender, and we now feel betterequipped to deal with such a mat-ter.”

But for Princeton High Schoolstudent Kadi Cier, LGBT PrideMonth is a celebration close tohome.

“I always go to Asbury Park’sGay Pride Parade,” said the 18-year-old with a smile.

“My cousin Nicole Dey cameout a couple of years back, so it isimportant for me to show her sup-port.”

Located at the corner of Nas-sau Street and Vandeventer Av-

enue in Princeton, PUMC is a di-verse congregation whose mem-bers come from many differentsurrounding communities, back-grounds and faith histories.

Last week, PUMC’s worshipschedule changed from two serv-ices – one at 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. – to one service – 10 a.m. – in theair-conditioned sanctuary.

PUMC is also offering a specialsummer program for childrenthrough fifth grade.

A nursery is provided and thechurch is wheelchair accessible.For further information at

PUMC, call (609) 924-2613 or visitits website, http://www.prince-tonumc.org.

PUMC offersone weekly summer service

to create more inclusive schools.O’Hara provides consultation

to schools and in-service train-ings throughout the state onLGBT issues. She is also co-cre-ator of the Teen Council educa-tional program and helped inwriting the course’s curriculummanual.

“Corrine has made a huge at-tempt to meet the needs of thekids, as well as the parents andthe schools,” Walters said of O’Hara’s dedicated work.“Schools in Princeton, for thefirst time, are dealing with trans-gender youth and they don’tknow what to do. Corrine does alot of consulting, and tries to helpeach community remain as safe

as possible while the studentsmake their transition.”

According to HiTOPS’ LGBTQ Fact Sheet, provided byCatharine Vaucher, HiTOPS’ di-rector of development and mar-keting, out of 585 educational pro-grams in 2014, 126 were imple-mented specifically to reduce in-cidents of self-harm, as well asphysical assault, harassment andbullying, with particular atten-tion on LGBT youth. More than4,000 youth contacts benefited.

Last year, Princeton’s HiTOPSalone implemented 271 programsincluding support groups, train-ings for peers, adults and confer-ences to increase protective fac-tors through healthy, sustainedadult-peer connections in thehome, the school and the commu-nity.

The organization also trained457 high school students on how

to establish a club for LGBTyouth in their own schools.

“There is a huge need and areal desire to understand and besupportive of LGBT youth,” Wal-ters stated. “We have learned thatthe parents also really want to un-derstand what is going on, and Ithink over time these kids willfind that there are people in theirworld who will support them.”

She advises Princeton’s LGBTyouth to, “reach out to one adultthat you trust, and that will leadyou to other adults and groupswho will be supportive.”

O’Hara could not be reachedfor comment.

2001. Scott is currently the assis-tant general manager for the LosAngeles Angels of Anaheim.

Servais said there are similari-ties and differences between himand his father. Servais playscatcher and first base like his fa-ther did. Unlike his father, Ser-vais is a switch-hitter. Scott hitright-handed.

“I do some things really similarto the way he did them and I dosome things very differently,” Ser-vais said.

Servais feels he is a much moremature baseball player thanwhen he was originally drafted.He said his defense has improvedsubstantially since his days as atwo-time first team all-conferenceplayer at Douglas County High

School.“I definitely feel like I figured

quite a few things out,” Servaissaid.

At Princeton, Servais was afour-year starter, playing in 30 ormore games in each season. Hemade a lot of noise during hisfreshman year, hitting .278 withthree home runs and 19 RBIs. Healso threw out 33 percent of basestealers during the 2012 and 2013seasons.

“In high school, I didn’t havemuch of a throwing arm,” Ser-vais said. “Now I’m muchstronger in that area.”

One of the benefits of attend-ing Princeton was being able tobalance baseball with education.Servais, an economics major, saidthe timing of being drafted as hegraduated worked out perfectly.

“I was lucky enough to bedrafted my senior year and finishmy degree,” he said. “A lot of col-lege players get drafted in their

junior year.”Servais added he enjoyed

spending time with his team-mates at Princeton, saying thepersonalities were much differentthan most other college players.

“I enjoyed getting to knowsome of the guys on the team,” hesaid. “It’s a different scenario.The people you meet in summerball are different from the peopleyou meet at Princeton.”

Servais had a non-baseballplan set up after graduating lastmonth.

Prior to being drafted, he re-ceived a job offer from a smallconsulting firm. He turned downthe job after deciding to sign withthe Tigers, realizing he’d be ableto put his degree to good use inthe future. Right now, his focus ison trying to make it in the bigleagues.

“Baseball is one of those oppor-tunities that comes once in a life-time,” Servais said.

brary Associations, co-founded afirm called Library DevelopmentSolutions with her husband in1991, set up massive endowmentfunds for the Princeton Public Li-brary, acted as a major innovatorand facilitator of the library’snew building that opened in April2004, and helped to make it thepinnacle of the community.

The list goes on, and yet Burg-er’s proudest achievement – one

that fulfills her as she steps downas executive director of the li-brary – is that she carried on theinspiration of her Maryland pro-fessor.

“I feel proud that we have creat-ed an activist library here inPrinceton. It is what makes acommunity and a democracy,”Burger said. “The day we cut theribbon back in 2004 was clearly anindelible moment in my memory.But seeing the building come

alive with the incredible array of programming and seeing what itdoes for the community – that’sthe accomplishment.”

Burger set up sustainablesources of income for the library

that will ensure it remainshealthy for years to come, regard-less of fluctuation in the econo-

my. In retirement, Burger plans todevote time to Library Develop-ment Solutions and create a “nicework/life balance.”

“Not all communities areblessed with the financial re-sources, supportive government,community and staff that Prince-ton has. We help libraries engagein the thinking and transitionsthey need to make maximum im-pact,” she said.

Many of Burger’s clients are inthe Northeast, with some outside

the country. Burger hopes to con-tinue her “great Evangelical tourof the U.S. and internationally,”including visits to her client, theAmerican Library in Paris.

After she retires in January,Burger plans to never wake up at3 a.m. to declare a snow day. Shewill read “The New York Times”every morning over coffee andnever work a Monday if she’s notin the mood. She will spend moretime with her three children and

soon-to-be two grandchildren.She will move to New York Citywith her husband. She will readmore, travel more and revolution-ize libraries around the globe.
