Input still needed on parking survey

Catching crayfish, mayfly nymphs and other critters in Stony Brook’s waters, playing lively rounds of Green Jeopardy and mapping transpiration, about 100 ninth-graders from the Princeton Day School were immersed in a daylong field trip Wednesday at the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association. The visiting teachers said the field trip enlivened science, provided experiential learning and promoted scientific literacy as the students explored the living laboratory of the 930-acre Watershed Center and Reserve.

Police investigating series of attempted burglaries By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A series of attempted burglaries and suspicious incidents on Prospect Avenue and PrincetonKingston Road, in which an intruder entered the house while the residents were at home, is under investigation by the Princeton Police Department. Three of the incidents

occurred in the 600 block of Prospect Avenue and a fourth incident occurred in the 900 block of PrincetonKingston Road. All of the incidents were reported to have occurred between May 12 and May 13, police said. One caller reported that sometime between 5 and 6 a.m. on May 13, his wife heard someone in their house on Prospect Avenue

PRINCETON and assumed it was him. But he was still asleep at the time. Nothing was reported missing, and police did not find any signs of forced entry into the house. In another incident that was reported at 2:02 a.m. May 13, a woman told police she saw a man inside

her house on Prospect Avenue. When she confronted him, he fled on foot toward PrincetonKingston Road. Also on May 13, a Princeton-Kingston Road resident told police that he was asleep in a second-floor bedroom when he was awakened at 4:45 a.m. by

noise coming from the first floor. He went downstairs to investigate. It appears that someone entered the house through an unlocked kitchen window, but fled through the kitchen door when he heard the homeowner approaching. Nothing was reported missing. And in the fourth incident that occurred on May 12 but that was not reported

until May 14, a Prospect Avenue resident reported that a family member recalled hearing the sound of metal shaking outside the house. Upon investigation, the caller discovered the neighbor’s side gate to the fence had been opened. The neighbors were home, but they did not hear anything. There was no entry into the house.

Two veteran officers promoted to sergeant By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

It was a special night for the Montgomery Township Police Department as two veteran police officers moved up the ranks to be sworn in as police sergeants at the Township Committee meeting last week. Police officers Brian Hofacker and Jason Larsen were sworn into their new posts, with their families at their side - their spouses and children up front, and their police family lined up along

the walls of the meeting room. Each wife pinned the shiny new sergeant’s badge on her husband’s uniform, while their children - Sgt. Hofacker’s son and daughter, and Sgt. Larsen’s two daughters - looked up at their fathers. Sgt. Hofacker joined the Montgomery Township Police Department in 2005 and served two years in the Patrol Division. He was assigned to the Detective Bureau, and has worked as the juvenile officer.

MONTGOMERY Sgt. Larsen became a Montgomery Township police officer in 2002, and was assigned to the Patrol Division before moving over to the Detective Bureau. He was transferred back to the Patrol Division in 2015. Police Director/Captain Thomas Wain praised the two new sergeants. “This is an incredibly happy, proud night for the Montgomery Township Po-

lice Department,” Capt. Wain said. Both Sgt. Hofacker and Sgt. Larsen are “very deserving” of promotion, he said. Noting that he served as a sergeant for 14 years, Capt. Wain said that anyone who has had experience in the military or law enforcement knows that the sergeant plays an important role. “The sergeant is the most important piece in the

rank structure,” Capt. Wain said. “They are out there every day and every night, making real-time decisions that impact their community and that impact their squad.” A sergeant must have his officers’ trust and support behind him, Capt. Wain said. Both of the new sergeants already have that respect, support and trust behind them, and they will be successful in their new positions, he said. “Congratulations from

me on behalf of the entire Police Department and the entire community. We think the world of you guys and we know you’ll do a great job,” Capt. Wain said. Mayor Ed Trzaska said the promotion process was smooth, and the candidates for promotion were “high quality.” “It is a testament to the Police Department as a whole to have so many quality members. We know we selected two wonderful new sergeants,” Mayor Trzaska said.

Neighborhood meeting planned on water main replacement project

meeting to discuss planned water main and service line replacements on a portion Aiming to keep residents of Nassau Street has been informed, a neighborhood scheduled for next week, according to Princeton officials. The meeting is set for May 31 at 7 p.m. in the By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

PRINCETON Community Room in Witherspoon Hall at 400 Witherspoon Street. A portion of Nassau Street, between Harrison Street and Snowden Lane,

will receive a new water main and service lines to properties, said Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton. The New Jersey

American Water Co. project is anticipated to begin June 7 and will not be completed until the end of August, Stockton said. The work will occur at night, Monday through Friday, between 8 p.m. and 6

a.m., Stockton said. There may be some daytime work, also. One lane of Nassau Street will be kept open for alternating traffic, she said. All appropriate traffic control measures will be implemented.

School district to bring in trailers for extra office space By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A contract has been awarded to the Spiezle Architectural Group by the Princeton Public School District’s Board of Education for architectural services in connection with plans to place two trailers on the Princeton High

School campus. The school board awarded a $16,400 contract to the Trenton-based architectural firm Tuesday night. The Spiezle Architectural Group was one of three bidders for the job. One firm pulled out, and the other firm - Lan Associates - offered a bid of $31,200. The Spiezle Architec-

tural Group’s services for the project includes site survey work, developing design details, developing technical specifications for the scope of work - including required submissions to the state Department of Education and other regulatory agencies - and preparing and soliciting bids for the trailers.

When school board member Debbie Bronfeld asked why the architectural firm was needed, Business Administrator Stephanie Kennedy replied that it’s not like rolling up the trailers and parking them on the grounds. There is the matter of preparing a foundation for the trailers, plus the plumb-

ing and electrical work that is needed to make them functional, Kennedy said. The trailers are needed to free up space in Princeton High School that is currently being used by teachers for office space, Superintendent of Schools Steve Cochrane said. The trailers will be used for office space, freeing up classrooms for educational

purposes. Enrollment at Princeton High School is expected to increase from 1,583 students now to 1,650 students in the fall, and more classrooms are needed. Teachers’ desks will be moved out of the classrooms and into the trailers, which are expected to be in place in time for the 2017-18 school year.

National Trails Day is June 3 By Michele S. Byers

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.”

Take John Muir’s advice from more than 100 years ago! There’s nothing like a trail walk to awaken your senses to the wonders of nature and create feelings of serenity and well-being. If Muir were alive today, the naturalist and author would surely be amazed at the number and variety of trails, especially in New Jersey! Today’s trails range from short loops in neighborhood parks to vast networks extending hundreds or thousands of miles. Trails may traverse deep wilderness … or urban and suburban settings. Saturday, June 3, is National Trails Day a day to celebrate trails in their many forms. In New Jersey, National Trails Day will be celebrated with more than 40 walks, hikes and bike rides. These events focus on wildlife and scenic beauty, health and fitness, and volunteer trail maintenance and cleanups. There are fun and easy hikes for families with young children, and others that showcase historical sites. Here’s your chance to help build, maintain and beautify trails - and the open lands surrounding them:• Help plant milkweed seedlings at Tall Pines State Preserve in Wenonah as part of a monarch butterfly restoration project. • Help maintain the Grassle Marsh Trail at the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve in Tuckerton by trimming trees and brush, raking debris and picking up trash. • Trim back vegetation along the Tanglewood Trail and help install a new trailhead sign at Voorhees State Park in Glen Gardner. • Other places where trail maintenance and cleanup volunteers are needed include Island Beach State Park in Seaside, Cheesequake State Park in Old Bridge, Mercer County Park in West Windsor, Wharton State Forest in Hammonton, Oldmans Creek Preserve in Auburn, Croft Farm Park in Cherry Hill, Bass River State Forest in Bass River Township, and Robin’s Trail in Frelinghuysen Township. Or enjoy a variety of hikes:• If fitness is your thing, try the high-energy “5,000 Step History Hike” at High Point State Park in Sussex County. Participants will climb the equivalent of 60 flights of stairs while seeing the sights in High Point’s historic district. • In Vernon Township, join the groundbreaking on the Vernon Greenway Project, which will connect multiple trails - including the Appalachian Trail - to each other and Vernon’s town center. A 50-mile “Trails of Vernon Challenge” for hikers, runners and bicyclists will be launched. • At the Ernest L. Oros Wildlife Preserve in Woodbridge, teams of scientists, students and community members will compete in BioBlitz, a 24hour race to count as many species as possible. • At the Sussex Branch Trail in Byram Township, hike past a mini-waterfall and a lake where beavers and birds make their home. • History buffs will enjoy the Palisades Interstate Park hike in Fort Lee, which highlights the history and construction methods used to build Palisades trails from 1900 to present. The hike features some of the park’s most elaborate stone structures, including staircases, archways and stone walls. • Urban hikers can check out the city of Elizabeth, which includes sites dating back to the first English settlement in New Jersey more than 350 years See TRAILS, Page 5

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Fraga demonstrates highest democratic values To the editor: With chaos and uncertainty roiling the nation, many voters in Princeton have woken up to the responsibilities we bear as citizens in a democracy. Fortunately, this June, we the people have an opportunity to elect Leticia Fraga as part of a joint campaign (with David Cohen) to serve in our local government. Through her actions and commitments, Fraga demonstrates the highest democratic values: honesty, diligence, fairness and a commitment to the public good. It has been my privilege to work with Leticia on the Human Services Commission and on the board of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Foundation for the better part of five years. These are only two of the many civic institutions through which Leticia has made a profound and lasting impact for the good of our community. As a colleague, I can attest to Leticia’s keen interest in the well

SOLUTIONS

being of all Princeton residents. Whether you are a fellow parent of a child in our schools, a senior citizen getting by on a fixed income, a local merchant or professional, a commuter, a first responder, a member of the University community, a public employee, or one of the low-wage service and retail workers who keep this town running, your voice matters and Leticia wants to hear it. She will listen actively, ask questions, and pursue solutions. That is how she works. Over the past months many of us have felt moved to roll up our sleeves and wade into electoral politics and social justice campaigns as never before. In that spirit, I urge you to vote for Leticia Fraga who is poised to become the first Latina (or, as we now say, Latinx) member of Council. The timing couldn’t be better. Whether your Princeton is a pastoral village, a bourgeoning university town or a buzzing mini metropolis, there is no substitute for a government by and for the people. A vote for Fraga is a vote for integrity, fairness and hard work. Anastasia Mann Princeton

Greenland is melting and Antarctic may not be far behind In an article with the somewhat ominous title Meltdown in Science magazine, a publication not noted for scaremongering, results of a 2016 expedition to investigate recent changes in the Greenland ice cap were discussed. The conclusions were sobering: the ice cap is melting much more rapidly than anticipated due to several unexpected factors, and Greenland’s contribution to sea level rise has doubled since a baseline period of 1992-2011. In understated analytical language, one of the project scientists remarked: “Nobody expected the ice sheet to lose so much mass so quickly.” This is of some importance for coastal states like New Jersey. Most people know of Greenland as a fairly uncomfortable and unappealing island in the far North with long cold winters and short cold summers. Most of the island is actually white, covered with a huge icecap that is more than 8,200 feet thick at the center. If the entire ice mass were to melt average sea level would rise by more than 23 feet, flooding large areas of land near present day coastlines; even a 10 percent melt would have extreme consequences. In the past, most attention has focused on increased iceberg calving from the ice sheet edge as the primary cause of Greenland’s ice sheet decline. Since 2005 other physical factors have become more important. Melting and refreezing of snow on the surface creates rounded ice particles; flowing surface water forms surface pools, and may concentrate soot and other types of dust and provide nutrients for algae and microbe colonies on the ice surface. All of these effects darken the ice surface and increase solar absorption. Increased surface melt water can flow into ice sheet crevices and reach bedrock, lubricating the ice sheet-bedrock interface and accelerating ice sheet flow. In addition to local changes from global warming, there have been significant alterations in major weather patterns that now allow large masses of warm air with rainfall to linger over Greenland in the summer months. As temperatures in the arctic continue to increase these events are likely be more frequent and perhaps more severe. For example, in 2012 satellite observations showed that virtually the entire ice sheet was covered with a layer of liquid water. All of these phenomena raise fascinating scientific questions. For example, the bacterial and algal growths survive many freezing and thawing cycles, high ultraviolet light exposure and long, cold dark winters: what physical and genetic changes have allowed survival in such a hostile environment? How do all these different local and regional factors interact and how will they change; what confidence can one have in models that attempt to predict ice sheet melting? And then there is the Antarctic ice sheet, which contains about 10 times as much ice as Greenland. Antarctica is more isolated from the immediate effects of global warming by large expanses of ocean. However, disturbing trends are already evident, and there are indications that parts of the Western Antarctic ice sheet are becoming unstable; melting could cause a rise in seal level of about

16 feet. Measurements and modeling of this ice sheet are now quite primitive, with a new research program attempting to understand how this ice sheet will react to higher global temperatures. Whatever the answer to these questions, it is evident that this is an experiment we absolutely should not be doing. Unfortunately, most people live busy, distracted lives from one paycheck to the next, one major illness away from disaster, and are only moved to action by something that impacts them personally. Thus there is an optimistic side to all of this bad news, and that is that a rise in sea level will affect many Americans financially, forcing them to take this problem seriously much sooner than they otherwise would. Those who live in or own second homes near the sea shore, or know people who do, will become increasingly aware of damage from storms and higher tides. Most importantly, insurance premiums for homes in areas at risk from these conditions have already begun to rise, and will continue to rise significantly. Thus, we will not need to wait for property to be damaged directly. Loss of resale value will occur as insurance companies compute the real cost of insuring coastal property, and buyers made aware of the unpleasant reality by much higher insurance premiums. Meanwhile, the rest of us should at least do what we can to not contribute to climate change by drastically reducing our use of fossil fuel. This is not at all as difficult as it might seem: we do not need to freeze in the dark or walk or bicycle everywhere. However, we do need to make use of affordable advanced technology. The easiest place to begin, surprisingly, is automobiles. The average New Jersey household burns about 30 barrels (1,260 gallons) of gasoline per year, and this can be reduced significantly without any decrease in comfort or convenience by using electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) or high efficiency internal combustion cars. As for affordability, the price of all of these cars is at or well below $34,000, the 2016 average transaction price for new cars in the U.S. (For example, my leased/purchased Leaf cost $16,500.) One can begin by visiting www.fueleconomy.gov, an excellent web site that allows side by side comparisons of different automobile technologies, including fuel economy, safety, price, and specifications. While the news from Washington is rather grim as far as U.S. leadership on coping with climate change is concerned, this must not cause paralysis among concerned citizens. We can and should take full advantage of existing rebates, incentive payments, and new technology to reduce our own fossil fuel consumption as much as possible.

Science Continued from Page 1 Norin, a PDS biology teacher. “It allows them ownership of the science.” Rotating through three learning stations, the students measured the vegetation area around the stream, assessed the chemical and biological balance, and measured water flow and depth.

Another group of students created colorful diagrams with sticky notes and markers to map out the dynamics of food webs. In a game of Green Jeopardy, the students sounded horns, drums and other noise makers in a race to answer water and environmental-related questions. The six PDS teachers

and eight Watershed educators also explored the green roof, solar panels, rain garden and other sustainability features of Watershed’s LEED-Platinum center. “Being here exposes students to a different way of thinking. It takes them out of their comfort zone and encourages them to think about life cycles,” said Liz

Cutler, the Sustainability Coordinator at PDS. “They can ask themselves the question, now that I know what I know, how is that going to change my behavior?” The field trip complemented the ecology curriculum as the students learned about local environment and issues; native, non-native, invasive plants; and bi-

ological sampling techniques. “Our programs aim to inspire the next generation of leaders and thinkers, as well as inculcate a sense of environmental stewardship,” said Jim Waltman, executive director of the Watershed. The Watershed is a member-supported nonprofit organization that

works to keep water clean, safe and healthy in central New Jersey. For more information about the Watershed, including how to volunteer and donate to its efforts, and how your school can engage with the Watershed in NGSS science programming visit www.thewatershed.org or call (609) 737-3735.

Giving a voice to the voiceless Middle school teacher among finalists for ‘Social Justice Activist of the Year’ By Mike Morsch Regional Editor

He wanted to be that voice for the voiceless, that friend to the friendless. And it was the strong pull of the community that offered him the opportunity to be both. Robt Seda-Schreiber was living all the way across the county in California, making what he calls “mad money” and living just off the beach where it was 70 degrees and sunny every day of the year. It was pretty close to perfect. And then he got a call that there was a job opening at Melvin H. Kreps Middle School in Hightstown. Seda-Schreiber had graduated from the middle school in 1983 and then from Hightstown High School in 1987. “I didn’t hesitate for second,” he said. “I traded all of that in a heartbeat because I believe in community.” It’s what he’s done since he returned to Hightstown that hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 1993, his first year of teaching, he started the Kreps Middle School mural program, which showcases student artwork that has social and political themes; he has written and directed the school’s spring play for nearly 20 years, topical shows that communicate messages of respect and kindness; and he helped start the Kreps Middle School Gay Straight Alliance nearly five years ago. That made Kreps the first middle school in New Jer-

sey to have the organization, and the alliance is one of only a handful of GSA middle school groups across the country And now, there is a possibility that Seda-Schreiber will have an even bigger stage to be that voice for the voiceless, that friend to the friendless. He is one of seven finalists, chosen from hundreds of nominees across the United States, for the National Education Association’s “Social Justice Activist of the Year” award. Seda-Schreiber was nominated by a colleague, Chris Carpenter; was endorsed by the East Windsor Education Association, the Mercer County Education Association and the New Photo by Arnold Johnson Jersey Edcuation Association; and is strongly supported by his students. And Robt Seda-Schreiber and his wife, Cyndi, marched in the now the general public gets Women’s March in January 2017 in Washington, D.C. to vote online. the Gay Straight Alliance at Schreiber. “It doesn’t matter “To know that people Kreps was formed because who you are or what you saw my story, were touched one student came to a col- were born, who you love or by my story, support what league and said that he was how you live your life, just I’m doing for the kids I’m scared, that he was being that everybody is accepted. doing it for, would mean the bullied and that he didn’t And once that happens — world to me,” said Sedafeel comfortable in school. that ideal — then there is no Schreiber. “But even more Seda-Schreiber wanted to need for these organizaso than my personal gratifichange that for him and all tions.” cation, it would mean the others like him.

And he’s glad to be back in Hightstown, giving something back. “This is the truth: I walk in my classroom each and every morning and I smile. I think it is a tremendous honor that this community has allowed me to come back here and give back because I got so much growing up here. I got so much out of being a student here and being a member of this community,” he said. “Coming back here was the best thing that I could have done, not only for myself, selfishly, but for my community because it shows that strength, that belief that you give what you

get. And I got so much from being here that I am so proud and honored to be able to be here every day and give just a small amount of that back. If I can do for one kid what was done for me, then I’ve done my bit.” Now his supporters can do their bit by voting online for Seda-Schreiber for the “Social Justice Activist of the Year” award. To do so, go to http://educationvotes.nea.org/2017sja/ and look for the big “Vote” button. Deadline for voting is May 30. “My strong belief is that you never fight against something, you fight for something,” said SedaSchreiber. “When someone is hateful, you are that much more loving.”

MARGINAL DIFFERENCE The dental restoration known as a “crown” (or “cap”) is used to cover and encase teeth that have been broken or damaged by decay. Crowns made of porcelain fused to metal are often preferred for their combination of excellent cosmetic appearance and strength. One disadvantage of this type of crown is that the metal underlying the porcelain can sometimes be seen as a dark line at the crown’s edge (at the gum line). However, there is a product that utilizes a unique gold composite “coping” (the part in contact with the prepared tooth) that imparts a more natural look at the gum line by eliminating unsightly black lines commonly associated with traditional crowns. “Captek” crowns look more natural. With dentistry constantly evolving, it is important that your dentist stays up-to-date

with the latest techniques and education to provide you with the most effective oral health care. Our office does just that, providing you a wide range of advanced technologies to save you both time and money. Please call 609-924-8300 or visit us at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation. We offer cosmetic and family dentistry, as well as Zoom® and Invisalign®. Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

P.S. The light-dispersing effects of a Captek crown capture the look of a healthy tooth’s natural appearance.

Volunteers needed for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Strike Out Hungerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event United Way of Greater Mercer County (UWGMC) is seeking 1,000 participants to help end childhood hunger in Mercer County.

The third annual Strike Out Hunger event will take place on Tuesday, June 27th from 9 a.m. to noon at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton. Participants are needed to create and pack healthy oatmeal breakfasts to highlight the 12,300+ food insecure children in Mercer County.

Registration for an individual is $25, and we are asking participants to look at this much like a 5k race, where you raise funds for participating. Registration begins at 9am with meal packing starting at 10am. Please register in advance a t https://www.uwgmc.org/stri ke-out-hunger-June-272017. Corporate teams may also register at this link.

APHASIA Everyone has those moments where they just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to ďŹ nd the word that they are looking for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right on the tip of my tongue,â&#x20AC;? they might say. This can be attributed to being busy, distracted, or tired, or any number of things. However, in some people who have suffered from a brain injury or a stroke, a condition called â&#x20AC;&#x153;aphasiaâ&#x20AC;? might be present. While there are different types of aphasia that include their own speciďŹ c symptoms, most people suffering from the condition will lose their ability to ďŹ nd the right word or to attach meaning to words that they read. Treatment and ability to recover will vary according to the type of aphasia. Being diagnosed with aphasia after a stroke or brain injury can cause frustration and stress, not only for survivors but also for their caregivers. Caregivers often ďŹ nd themselves dealing with an entirely â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a different personality, new physical challenges, and impaired communication skills. To schedule an appointment, please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-9218766. My practice is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton.

Dorothy Jean Rounds, 90

STETTLER, MATHILDE “TILDY”

Dorothy Jean Rounds, 90, passed away on Friday, May 19, 2017 at Glen Rose Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. She was born on 22 June 1926 in Brooklyn, New York; the daughter of Frederick Haerer and Florence Jackson.

Stettler, Mathilde “Tildy” Stettler 92, formerly of Princeton Junction, New Jersey, died peacefully at the home of her daughter Myriam Stettler, in of Hope, Rhode Island on April 10.

Dorothy graduated from Far Rockaway High School, Long Island, NY in 1944, and from Schauffler College of Religious Education, in Cleveland Ohio in 1949. She was the first member of her family to attend and graduate from college. After college, she joined the First Congregational Church, Stoneham Massachusetts, as Religious Education Director. It was here she met her husband, William (Bill) Arthur Rounds. They were married on 17 June 1950, in Russell Sage Memorial Presbyterian Church, Far Rockaway and later lived in Andover, Massachusetts. Dorothy and Bill were devoted to each other for nearly 60 years until Bills’ death in 2010. In 1958, while serving as a social worker with the Family Service Association, Lawrence, Massachusetts, Dorothy received a two-year grant from the National Institute of Mental Health and completed her Master’s Degree in Psychiatric Social Work at Simons College in Boston, Massachusetts. Later, she was selected to pursue advanced doctoral level psychiatric studies as a resident in the Harvard/McLean Psychiatry and Neuroscience Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dorothy put her career on hold with the arrival of a son Lincoln in 1958 and daughter Jane in 1959. Dorothy and Bill moved to the Princeton NJ area in the early 1960s where Bill was offered a position at Princeton University’s Plasma Physics Laboratory Research Institute. After spending 5 years at home with her two young children, Lincoln and Jane, Dorothy returned to work as a psychosocial caseworker and had a distinguished career which culminated as Executive Director of the Mercer County Community Guidance Center in Princeton, NJ. Dorothy and Bill enjoyed socializing with family at the Rounds farm on Moose Pond, Maine, and summered at the ocean at Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. Dorothy always enjoyed participating in a great debate, especially when politics were involved. Following retirement, Dorothy and Bill moved to Texas in 1987 to be a part of the lives of their grandchildren Mathew and Melissa Edwards. Dorothy and Bill could frequently be found volunteering at their schools in Granbury Texas. Survivors include her son, Lincoln C Rounds and wife Heidi Schoenfeld of Skillman, NJ (granddaughters Hyla and Phoebe Rounds), her daughter Jane Edwards of Fort Worth Texas (grandson Mathew Edwards and wife Tiffany Edwards of Irving Texas; great grandson Kenshin Edwards; granddaughter Melissa Oxford and husband James Oxford of Odenton Maryland; great grandson Michael Oxford), a brother Deane N. Haerer (Polly Haerer) of Trophy Club Texas, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Frederick and Florence Haerer, her husband William Rounds, and her siblings Florence Haerer, Shirley Kossman, Joan Rivers, and Frederick Haerer. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association. A memorial service will be held for family members at a future date in Bridgton Maine. Arrangements are by the Wiley Funeral Home in Granbury, Texas.

She was the daughter of the late Otto and Mathilde (Hugentobler) Stettler, and sister of the late Otto and Josef Stettler. She is survived by her brother Leo, along with many nieces and nephews living in Switzerland. Born and raised in Switzerland, as a child she actually did walk to school (in the next town), 45 minutes each way, twice a day, up (and down) several hills. From November to March, she skied to school through the snow. She became a nurse, working in labor & delivery, neonatal and pediatrics. She came to the United States by way of Ellis Island in January 1953 initially working as a baby nurse and nanny, then as a live-in caregiver. She learned English at the YMCA in an ESL class. She became a naturalized citizen in 1963, and received her GED in 1974. At that time she began working at Princeton Hospital, first in the coffee shop, then in the Anesthesia Department, until her retirement, all the while working with the elderly on weekends. She was a parishioner of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Princeton, NJ for 58 years. She volunteered as a Eucharistic Minister, delivering communion every Sunday to persons unable to attend mass. She also volunteered with the St. Paul’s Healthcare Ministry. After retiring from Princeton Hospital, she attended mass every day, weather permitting. She was committed to her religion, always helping and caring for others. She was selfless; always putting others first; often making personal sacrifices for the benefit of others, never expecting anything in return. She made the world a better place for those she met throughout her life. She was a wonderful role model for her daughter, baking for school events, chaperoning school field trips, and volunteering as a Girl Scout Leader. She taught her daughter about community service by taking her along to help out at the annual Princeton Hospital rummage sale, and delivering meals to an elderly woman who lived close by. She sponsored both a child and an elderly woman in Latin America for many years. She worked tirelessly gathering donated clothing, personal hygiene items, and medical equipment for Croatian Relief Services, her favorite charity, in Fairview, NJ, who help “the poorest of the poor” all over the world. Then she enlisted her daughter to drive her there to deliver the many carloads she collected. She loved attending the weekly Spanish class at the West Windsor Senior Center, going to the West Windsor Library to find new books each week, eating Swiss chocolate and cherries, and talking with relatives via FaceTime. She will be remembered fondly by many and missed by all who knew her. A Memorial Mass will be held on June 10, 2017, 10:00 AM, at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 214 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ. In lieu of flowers, donations to Croatian Relief Services, 225 Anderson Avenue, Fairview, NJ 07022, in her name would be appreciated.

Questions also include why the respondent visits downtown Princeton - for shopping, entertainment or employment, and if he or she has ever left downtown Princeton for lack of finding a parking space.

Hun sweeps diamond titles By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The baseball and softball teams at The Hun School both picked the right time of the year to be playing their best. The Raiders were able to come away with state Prep A championships in both sports, sweeping their way through their respective tournaments. The baseball team won its second straight Prep A title with a win over Blair followed by two wins over Lawrenceville in the doubleelimination tournament. The softball team got past Lawrenceville, Peddie and Blair on the way to its title. “It was good,” said first-year Hun baseball coach Tom Monfiletto. “The tournament is a bear to win. Last year we lost our first game and had to to win four in a row to get the championship, This year we did it the easy way. It worked out would much better. I’d rather have it that way.” The Raiders rolled through the tournament, opening with a 12-3 win over Blair before defeating Lawrenceville 11-3 and 15-3 to capture the state title. “Everything came together, which was cool to see happen at this stage of the season,” Monfiletto said. “It was awesome. Everything we worked on in practice we did well. We hit. Our pitchers threw strikes. We were able to execute things within our identity and when we got runners in scoring position we came through with big hits.” In the clinching win on Sunday, Mike Pedota had three hits, while Jack Erbeck, Matt Moore, Ryan Strype, Chris Sumners and McGwire Tuffy each drove in a pair of runs. Hun had lost three straight games against tough competition prior to the start of the Prep A tour-

But those losses got the Raiders ready to play. “We had won six of seven in a stretch where we beat Robbinsville and felt great about that,” Monfiletto said. “We came back that Monday and survived a scare against Peddie and then that Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday we had Nottingham back-to-back and game against Allentown. Those are real good teams and we did not win, but we played great. Against Allentown, Jack Erbeck threw a gem and McGwire Tuffy had an RBi bur we lost, 2-1. “We gave them off that weekend and said when you come back Monday it’s a brand new season. We said the goal was to win one game at a time and the overall goal was to win a championship.”

The Raiders did just that, sending off a strong senior class with a second straight Prep A title. “It’s awesome for them,” Monfiletto said. The softball team had been close before but had not won a Prep A title since 2004. The Raiders rolled through the tournament this year, capped off by a 70 win over Blair in the final. Alana Pearson tossed a fourhitter and struck out nine to earn the win on the mound. She also had two hits and scored a pair of runs at the plate. Megan Donohue, Mary Catherine Shea and Gigi Venizelos also had two hits apiece. “Last year we lost in the semis and the year before we lost in the finals,” Hun coach Kathy Quirk

said. “It has always been the semis or finals where we have lost. It’s great for the whole team. Julie Fassl is our only four year starter. Our other senior is Kate O’Connell. We are so young. It’s a group that is very young and talented who are great defensive players and strong bats.” Quirk could sense early in the season that this might just be a team capable of winning a state title, which the Raiders did in addition to winning the Mid-Atlantic Prep League title. “The way they connected and every player did their job, it was a great bunch of kids,” Quirk said. “When you go to Florida for 10 days and come back with a smile on your face, you know it can be a special season.”

Cougars are Group IV state tennis champs By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The opponents keep getting tougher and tougher and the Montgomery High boys tennis team keeps responding. The Cougars faced a huge challenge on Monday against West Windsor-Plainsboro South in the Central Jersey Group IV final and came away with a 3-2 win. Two days later they defeated Westfield in the state Group IV semifinals, 4-1, before topping Livingston, 5-0, for the Group IV state title. The Cougars improved to 20-0 with the wins this week and earned the No. 1 seed for the Tournament of Champions. Montgomery received an opening-round bye and will open play on Wednesday at Mercer

County Park against the winner of the match between Delbarton and Mountain Lakes. The toughest of the three matches proved to be against WW-P South, who the Cougars had defeated in a close match earlier this season. This time they pulled out a 3-2 win against a very talented Pirates team. “Going into the match we didn’t know what South’s setup would be because we thought the lineup might be different,” said Chris Guo, who joined James Hopper for a win at first doubles. We knew regardless of who played they would be strong. After we knew who we were playing we knew we had to get to the net because we know Matt (Michibata) and Akul (Telluri) are very good players.” The Cougars had defeated the

Pirates, 3-2, when the teams played in the Delbarton Tournament early in the season. This time the South lineup looked a little different but Montgomery still came away with a win. “We knew when the brackets came out it would be our toughest match of the year,” Hopper said. “So for the weeks coming up to it we really prepared in practice and worked hard. So when the match came we were 100 percent prepared. “We knew it would be a close match for the team but in that situation you have to think about yourself and not be distracted by the courts around you. You have to trust your teammates that they can do the job as well.” Montgomery has been solid all season with Vishnu Joshi, Ishaan Ravichander and

Mark Fridman at the singles slots. And with Guo and Hopper at first doubles along with the second doubles pairing of Liam Lynch and Phillip Szkudlarski, the lineup is as deep and talented as any lineup in the state. Both of the Montgomery doubles teams are undefeated this season. “The chemistry was there all along,” Guo said of his pairing with Hopper. “When James came from Britain we played soccer together. After a while I was balancing soccer and tennis and chose tennis. And then James also chose tennis. When we came up to high school we started talking more and got to know each other better. Our coach put the doubles teams together and I think he saw it much earlier than we did that we See COUGARS, Page 15

Brennan’s big throw helps PHS By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Hun seniors to continue athletic careers Seventeen Hun student-athletes celebrated their collegiate commitments in a ceremony at the school on May 10th. The students join 23 other Hun classmates this academic year who have made collegiate athletic commitments, including nationally recruited football player Fred Hansard, who heads to Penn State University next fall. Hun teams turned in impressive performances throughout the year. Hun’s ice hockey team took the Mercer County Tournament title for the fourth year in a row, while Hun diver Victoria Shay claimed the Mercer County diving championship, also for the fourth year in a row. Hun football claimed its third consecutive Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title last fall, as well as the NJISAA Prep A Championship. The softball team recently clinched a MAPL co-championship title.

Missing from the photo is Aidan Shue, soccer, Hamilton College.

Cougars Continued from Page 14 could be a good team. After playing a few matches together in challenges I could really see our success as team.” The whole lineup has been coming through this season for the Cougars. In 20 matches they have lost 10 of 100 matches, with four of those coming against WW-P South. They also swept all

five flights of the Somerset County Tournament. Guo and Hopper have been a microcosm of the team’s success. “From when we were kids we have been good friends,” Hopper said. “You can see how well we work together on the court. We’re never down at the same time. It’s always a good time on court whether it is a close point we could have won or

if we played a bad point. “At Delbarton early in the season we knew we could do well. Our first match together was Moorestown at Delbarton and we knew that was high level tennis and we needed to be able to perform. So all the practice leading up that was really intense. I think playing outside of high school really helped us succeed right from the start.”

In the week leading up to the Mercer County Track and Field Championships, Paul Brennan was starting to feel more and more like he had a chance to put together a strong performance. The Princeton High sophomore had started the season slowly due to an injury suffered during training. But as he got closer to the beginning of championship season, Brennan started to feel more like himself. “I was very happy to finally put the season together,” said Brennan, who broke his previous record throw in the discus by nine feet to win the event at the Mercer meet last Saturday. “Earlier this season was

slow because I started with an injury of a bruised tailbone that delayed my lifting and how the season progressed. But everything started to click about two weeks ago and I was able to get one out there and beat my PR by nine feet.” Brennan’s win in the discus and second place in the shot put helped the Little Tigers finish second with 91 points, just one point behind West Windsor-Plainsboro High North, which captured the team title. The Princeton girls finished ninth with 25 points in the girls meet. On the boys side, Brennan won the discus with an impressive 172-feet, 1-inch effort and was also second in the shot put. Alex Roth was first in the 3,200 meters in 9:30.44, while teammate Will Hare finished second in the event. In the 1,600 Roth

was second and Hare finished third. Nils Wildberg won the long jump with an effort of 22-feet, while Varun Narayan was fourth in the event. Narayan was third and Wildberg finished fourth in the triple jump. Oliver Hamit was fourth in the 400 meters, Nick Delaney was fourth in the 800 meters, Simon Schenk was fourth in the pole vault, The Princeton girls finished first in the 4x400-meter relay in 4:02.42 behind the efforts of Colleen Linko, Jackie Patterson, Justice Taylor and Michelle Vassilev. Jackie Patterson was second in the 400 meters. The Little Tigers were also third in the 4x800 relay. Michelle Kwafo of Stuart finished third in the 100meter hurdles and Casey Nelson was sixth in the 3,200 meters.

MHS lacrosse reaches sectional final By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The dynamic offense of the Montgomery High boys lacrosse team was on display on Wednesday in the Cougars’ 14-3 win over Freehold Township in the South Jersey Group IV tournament semifinals. Nico Ipeker led the way with four goals as seven different Cougars scored in the win. Joe Mercurio scored three goals, while Christian Boyle and Jared Reinsen each added a pair of goals in the win. “It’s great,” Mercurio said of the Cougars’ offense. “Everybody moves the ball well. None of us are selfish. We all try to move it to the next man. We know everybody is going to get their points so we try to move the ball and get it to the open

guy. Coach tries to tell us to get the best shot every time.” With the win, the topseeded Cougars advanced to face second-seeded Lenape in the sectional final on Saturday. Montgomery rallied to beat Lenape in the sectional final. “Since this is our senior year we have been working extra hard to end on a high note of possibly getting back to the state championship game,” Mercurio said. “Coach (Jon England) has been preaching the last few games to take it to another level. He’s been telling us we’re a good team but we want to be a great team. We have been coming out and taking every team like it is our last game.” Montgomery, which improved to 15-5 with the win, has a prolific offense that is led by its trio of attackmen who have combined for 168

goals this season. Ipeker has 68 goals, while Kyle Marripodi has 53 goals and Danny Engels has 51 goals to go along with 56 assists. “We know that we are all going to get our points,” said Mercurio, who has 22 goals and 18 assists this season. “We just move the ball. We have a great attack and all the good middies work well together.”. The offense has scored 52 goals in three state tournament games this season, while the defense has allowed just 11. The combination of two strong units has made the Cougars a tough team to beat. What makes the Cougars such a tough team to defend is the have so many weapons. Engels and Marripodi each had just one goal against Freehold Township, yet the offense was still clicking.

This year’s Princeton Festival offers opera, theater, jazz, chamber music, a movie, and a pops concert for the family

udwig van Beethoven is renown as one of the greatest composers of all time, based on his sonatas, concertos, and a symphony or two you might be familiar with. But with all of his accomplishments, Beethoven wrote just one opera. That opera is “Fidelio,” which premiered in 1805 and will be presented as part of this year’s Princeton Festival when it is performed at McCarter Theatre, June 18 and 25. The festival also will offer musical theater, chamber music, a pops concert, jazz, dance and more, June 3-25. In “Fidelio,” Florestan (sung by Noah Baetge) is a Spanish nobleman who has been imprisoned by Pizarro (Joseph Barron) for political reasons. Pizarro has sentenced Florestan to death via starvation. Florestan’s wife Leonore (Marcy Stonikas) plans to rescue him by disguising herself as a young prison guard named Fidelio. In addition to the libretto, “Fidelio” uses spoken dialogue to tell its story. “It’s been on my list for years,” says Richard Tang Yuk, artistic director for the Princeton Festival and conductor of the opera. “I’ve been suggesting it to the board for at least three years now. It just turns out to be a good choice for this year because it deals with political injustice. It’s a universal theme.” He says it took some convincing of key principals with the Princeton Festival to go forward with “Fidelio” as this year’s opera because “It has reputation for being dramatically static.” “It’s not performed that often, it’s certainly not in the top tier or the second tier of frequently performed operas,” Tang Yuk says. “People do it from time to time. It’s a great piece, the score is wonderful, it’s not a huge cast, it has about six principals, and it’s not a big orchestra. So it’s not difficult in those ways, it’s that directors feel it’s difficult to pull off dramatically. I think the public, by and large, because it’s not done often, they don’t really know it.” The reason he has wanted to present “Fidelio” to Princeton Festival audiences is the music. “For those people who don’t know ‘Fidelio’, I think they will really enjoy it because the music is just so engaging . . . It’s an incredible score,” Tang Yuk says. As a companion to “Fidelio,” The Princeton Festival is presenting “Man of La Mancha” as this year’s musical theater piece, running June 10-25 at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Matthews Acting Studio. The 1964 show by Dale Wasserman with lyrics by Joe Darion and music by Mitch Leigh is inspired by Cervantes’ “Don Quixote.” Tang Yuk says both “Fidelio” and “Man of La Mancha” feature characters who are unjustly imprisoned, as in

“Man of Mancha,” Cervantes (played by Jesse Malgieri) is imprisoned in a dungeon during the Spanish Inquisition. Cervantes and his servant Sancho Panza (Jordan Bunshaft) are put on trial by their fellow prisoners. For his defense Cervantes acts out a play, using his makeup to transform himself into Alonso Quijano, who renames himself Don Quixote de La Mancha. “They both deal with injustice and aspirations of hopes and dreams,” Tang Yuk says. “In ‘Fidelio,’ Florestan’s wife is dreaming that justice and love will prevail. In ‘Man of La Mancha,’ Cervantes is following a request for a different kind of life, a life where we pursue our dreams against what might seem to be insurmountable odds. What we aspire to, to even have a chance of achieving it.” New to this year’s festival is a multi-media pops concert, “Disney in Concert: Around the World,” June 9 at Richardson Hall on the Princeton University campus. The concert will showcase music from Disney films performed by the Festival Pops Orchestra, accompanied by scenes from the films shown on the big screen. The concert will include music from such movies as “The Little Mermaid,” “Pocahontas,” “Mary Poppins,” and “Beauty and the Beast,” Frozen,” “Aladdin,” “Mulan,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and “The Lion King.” “We’re trying that for the first time to try to appeal to a different part of the community, people who are interested in family-oriented type of events,” Tang Yuk says. For the second year, a film screening at the Princeton Garden Theatre will be part of the festival. The Dustin Hoffman-directed movie “Quartet” starring Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins and Michael Gambon will be shown June 4. “It’s not just the film, there’s going to be a panel discussion, it’s called ‘Opera and the Movies,’” Tang Yuk says. “It’s a discussion about the connection between operas and the movies and why so many film directors are turning to using opera scores or incorporating opera somehow into the fabric of the movie.” The panel discussion will be held before the screening. After the movie, there will be a live performance by singers from The Princeton Festival, including “Bella

By Anthony Stoeckert

figlia dell’amore,” a famous quartet from Verdi’s opera, “Rigoletto.” That piece is key to the movie, but isn’t heard in full. The festival will open June 3 with a performance of music by Beethoven, Strauss, and Kernis by the Concordia Chamber Players. The Princeton Festival Baroque Orchestra will play two concerts, a chamber concert, June 17 at the Princeton Abbey, and a full orchestra concert, June 21 at Miller Chapel at Princeton Theological Seminary. The Baroque Orchestra plays music from the 18th century, and earlier, on period instruments. The Peter Martin Jazz Trio will perform June 17 at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre. The Philadelphia dance company Balletx will perform June 24, also at the Berlind Theatre. A choral concert with the Baroque Orchestra will be presented June 24 at Miller Chapel. The festival’s annual piano competition for pianists ages 6 to 24 will take place June 2-4 (preliminary rounds) and June 11 (final round) at the Clark Music Center at the Lawrenceville School.

IN CONCERT By Anthony Stoeckert

Music for the Ages The members of Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra will join young musicians for a spring concert

he Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra’s final concert of the season is about showcasing the talents of young musicians as much as it’s about the orchestra

itself. Bravura Philharmonic’s “A Concerto Extravaganza,” June 4 at the Princeton Alliance Church in Plainsboro, will include the orchestra performing “The Moldau” from Bedrich Smetana’s “My Homeland.” The rest of the evening will feature concertos played by the winners of the orchestra’s 2017 Young Artists Competition. The winners competed by playing their concerts in February at the Paul Robeson Center in Princeton. Competitors came from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. The four winners will perform their chosen concertos with the orchestra during the concert. This year’s winners all are from New Jersey. Coco Mi is a 16-year-old violinist and a junior at Princeton High School. She attends the Manhattan School of Music’s precollege program, and will play the first major of Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D Minor.

Simon Ho-Yin Cheng is a seventh-grader at Grover Middle School in West Windsor. He is 12 years old and is enrolled in the pre-college division at Juilliard. He will play the “Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso” by Camille Saint-Saens. Pianist LiYuan Byrne will play the third movement of Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A Minor. Flutist Kaylee Wang, 16 of Marlboro will play the first movement of Mozart’s Flute Concerto No. 2 in D Major. “We are so excited because we believe we have the largest concerto completion in New Jersey of this kind,” says Chiu-Tze Lin, the director of Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra. “The quality is just amazing. A lot of people who play instruments love coming to this concert because it’s nice to see young people featured with an adult, professional orchestra.” Lin says the concert offers young musicians a rare opportunity to perform with a full orchestra. “Not many orchestras want to feature these young people. I love to give these motivated young people a chance,”

she says. In addition to the music itself, Lin will talk about the pieces to provide the audience with some history and perspective. She says the orchestra is playing “The Moldau” partly because it’s rarely performed. The piece is a symphonic poem about the flow of the Moldau (Vltava) River from its source in the mountains of the Bohemian Forest through the Czech countryside to Prague. “It’s a beautiful, beautiful piece and I always wanted to introduce new music to the audience,” Lin says. “It’s very accessible. It starts with two flutes going back and forth, very much like the River Moldau. I like to talk with the audience, so we will learn more and more.”

Bravura Philharmonic Orchestra will perform its “A Concerto Extravaganza!” concert at Princeton Alliance Church, 20 Schalks Crossing Road, Plainsboro, June 4, 7 p.m. Tickets cost $20, $18 seniors/students; www.bravuraphil.org; 609-933-4729.

FILM By Anthony Stoeckert

Worldy Movies at the NJ Film Fest

n what might be the most politically charged era in America’s history, it would make sense that a filmmaker would want to focus his lens on politics in order to comment on what’s going on in the country. Michael Cross’ comedy “Second Nature” would appear to do just that as it follows two characters — Amanda (played by Collette Wolf) and Bret (played by Sam Huntington) who are running for mayor of their small town. After Amanda finds a magic mirror that grants her wish for men to act like women, the election goes in an unexpected direction. But when Cross and his writers started working on their movie, politics was the farthest thing from their minds. “My writing team literally had no idea how much more relevant ‘Second Nature’ would be today than when we started writing it over eight years ago,” Cross says of his film, which will be shown June 3 during the New Jersey International Film Festival in Rutgers. “In fact the first draft of the script wasn’t political at all. It was about four years ago that we rewrote the entire story to make it more affordable to produce on a small budget, which is where the small-town setting came in. The mayoral special election seemed like a natural fit, providing a lot of opportunities to explore gender behavior in politics and society.” As much as the movie is about politics, it’s also about gender, and the roles and influence of men and women. “I’ve always been fascinated by gender behavior, as well as gender balance in politics,“ Cross says. “We are molded from birth and nurtured to behave a certain way,

which greatly affects who we are as individuals and as a larger society. So flipping the entire world, so that women behave like men and vice-versa, is a way of looking at ourselves more clearly. Through the comedy we are also able to understand better what it’s like walking in someone else’s shoes.” As big and important as its issues are, “Second Nature” is a comedy, one whose humor is rooted in truth, despite its imaginative premise. Cross says it’s different from movies like “Tootsie,” “Some Like it Hot” and “Mrs. Doubtfire,” which get laughs out of men wearing dresses. “Instead of falling back on the archetype of characters switching bodies, ‘Second Nature’ reverses stereotypical gender behavior — in the entire world,” Cross says. “Women are presidents of the United States, top paid football athletes, and CEOs. Even the town’s prized Honkers restaurant (à la Hooters) becomes Peckers. The reversal lets us see our current reality with more clarity.” The festival will showcase features, documentaries and short subjects from around the world. The festival’s opening weekend (June 3-4) will include movies from Jersey filmmakers, as well as movies from Istanbul (“Kedi” on June 4) and China (the animated short “First Bloom.”) Many films from New Jersey filmmakers will be shown June 3, 10 and on June 11, the last day of the festival. Ilene Dube, a Princeton Junction resident and former editor of TimeOFF, will screen her documentary, “Generations of Artists: Roosevelt, NJ” on June 11. The film looks

at the Jersey community, which is a haven for potters, painters, musicians and other artists. Dube was accepted in NYU’s MFA film program but didn’t go there because of the cost. “Instead I took a summer-long certificate program at NYU,” she says. “What I learned was that unless you had an uncle who could bankroll the project, it was impossible to make a film.” She became and artist and journalist, and interviewed and wrote about many Roosevelt artists when she edited TimeOFF. After leaving TimeOFF, Dube maintained her art blog, The Artful Blogger and worked at the Michener Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. She started to use a Flip camera to add video to her blog, and rediscovered her inner movie maker. That led to her taking a documentary production and a film that was screened at the Historical Society of Princeton and the Arts Council of Princeton, as well as the Nassau Film Festival. “When completing that film, I knew I wanted to make the film about Roosevelt and began shooting in 2014,” Dube says. “I’ve always been interested in utopias. Also, my paternal grandfather lived on a farm in New Jersey. I never was able to get much information about it — he died before I was born — but I imagined he lived in a farming community like Roosevelt, one with Jewish immigrants who weren’t especially good farmers.” Screenings for the New Jersey International Film Festival take place at Voorhees Hall, 71 Hamilton Street, College Avenue Campus, Rutgers University.

STAGE REVIEW By Bob Brown

Love, Debt and the Bard The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey opens its season with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Merchant of Veniceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

he Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey opens its 2017 season with one of the playwrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most-performed (and perhaps most-debated) plays, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Merchant of Venice,â&#x20AC;? on the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre stage at Drew University through June 5. First, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put the question of Shylock on the table. Everyone has an opinion on whether Shakespeare was an anti-Semite. If he was, is he excused by being a product of his age? If not, was he simply pandering to public taste with Jew-baiting? Or, being a genius, was Shakespeare creating a nuanced portrayal of a persecuted ethnic group whose resentment was understandable? Is Shylock a caricature, a buffoon, or a tragic figure? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know for certain what Shakespeare was thinking. What matters is how Shylock plays in this comedy. And it is, according to Shakespeare, a comedy; it can be light, playful, energized in many scenes, with a great variety of characters both noble and comic. Although Shylock is not the main character, his character and Jewishness in general dominate certain scenes. There are many memorable passages that high school students are often assigned to memorize â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least they were in my day. In his notes, Director Robert Cuccioli points to the many troubling aspects of the play that have resonance today: the increasing distrust of â&#x20AC;&#x153;othersâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those who are not like us; the need for instant gratification; the rise of material over moral values. We can hear it in a line by Shylock in the second act: â&#x20AC;&#x153;O father Abram, what these Christians are / Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect / The thoughts of others.â&#x20AC;? And yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a romantic comedy with some classic tropes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like a love-test to find oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true love, and gender-bending disguises, and a legal scene worthy of â&#x20AC;&#x153;L.A. Law.â&#x20AC;? Shakespeare shamelessly borrowed plots and plot devices from several stories

What is most appealing about this production is its sheer energy. Among many outstanding performances, Andrew Weems gives us a forceful, dominating Shylock. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not pitiable and conniving. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard-nosed businessman who recognizes that Antonio (Brent Harris) is desperate for a loan. Antonio, who has insulted Shylock in the past, is short of funds and comes cap in hand. He wants to help his dearest friend, the impecunious Bassanio (John Keabler), who wishes to woo Portia (Melissa Miller) but needs 3,000 ducats in order pursue the wealthy heiress. Bassanio asks his friend, Antonio (the title character) to help. Antonio agrees, but with his cash invested in

ships at sea, they arrange a loan with Shylock. It seems like a gift that Shylock is asking only for a pound of flesh rather than goods or money as surety for a loan. But the screw turns when Antonioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fleet is reported lost. Shylockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous speech, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew handsâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? is an angry retort at a man who has insulted him and his race. But neither does Bassanio need money to win Portia. Her late father has devised the three-casket test to find a husband. Nonetheless, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to tell Bassanio the secret. Being pure of heart and motive, however, Bassanio reasons that the humblest casket will hold the prize â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which it does. This scene is one of the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more moving. Keablerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bassanio mistrusts out-

ward appearances â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The world is still deceived with ornamentâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but rhapsodizes about his discovery, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What demigod / Hath come so near creation?...â&#x20AC;? The most climactic scenes are when Portia, disguised as Balthazar, â&#x20AC;&#x153;doctor of the law,â&#x20AC;? intercedes to argue with Shylock on his contract. The play turns on this, with the memorable monologue, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quality of mercy is not strained. . . .â&#x20AC;? Miller lifts the words off the page so they breathe in a believable character, shedding any hint of clichĂŠ. I was quite moved. Although the denouement is terrible for Shylock, who must give up everything, including his religion, Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audience may have thought that was just. After all, Antonio was ready to be carved up to honor the deal. Along with these most dramatic moments, there is levity. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Shakespeare comedy without clowns? Jeffrey M. Bender, a Shakespeare Theatre veteran, is a master of these roles. He is sublimely ridiculous as Shylockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s servant Launcelot Gobbo, and especially in scenes with Robert S. Gregory as Old Gobbo (Bender also plays the Prince of Arragon in the casket-choosing scenes, and Gregory doubles as the Duke of Venice in the last act). Director Cuccioli set the play in Venice of 1910, when the Industrial Revolution had turned the city into â&#x20AC;&#x153;the epitome of opulence and wealth.â&#x20AC;? Smart, colorful costumes by Candida Nichols reflect the period. An ingenious two-tier turntable arcade by designer Brian Ruggaber allows smooth, seamless scene changes. And as always, this companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength is its ensemble. With more than 20 roles superbly performed and masterfully directed by Cuccioli, this production is a jewel.

A kitchen built by Dickson Development. Photos by Matt Pilsner/Ananta Creative Group

Homes, sweet homes Dickson Development has been in the house-construction business for more than four decades At age 10, deciding to observe how his dad got a paycheck, Richard Dickson strode onto a housing construction site in Middlesex County for the first time. In his mind, he had entered heaven on earth. “My father [David] was working on the site and I knew right then I wanted to be a builder,” Dickson said. “It was the most exciting thing. With the machines and the men working, it was so exciting. I just always wanted to be a builder.” As a student at Livingston High School, he would write any paper he could about being a builder. Majoring in economics at Rutgers, the practice continued as he somehow worked building into papers on finances. Nothing has changed. “Sixty-one years later I’m still excited about building,” Dickson said. “Home construction is a special business. The work is always changing both by the plans and site conditions. I’ve always wanted to do this and I’m very fortunate.” Also fortunate are the hundreds of homeowners who have either had their homes built or renovated by Dickson Development of Plainsboro. Richard Dickson’s first love became his lifelong mate, as Dickson Development is celebrating its 45th year of building homes in the Princeton area. It is the owner’s passion that promises homes will be built correctly. “It means a great deal,” Dickson said of his milestone anniversary. “I don’t look back, I tend to look forward. I’ve decided at 71 that I want to keep building because I just enjoy the process of building homes. There are many people who didn’t survive through this. I guess that is an accomplishment but it’s not something I dwell on. What I really am interested in is the work going forward and the relationships I have with people, which is very rewarding.” A sure sign of a good builder is word of mouth. Dickson takes great pride in the fact that people whose homes he has built have returned to him for additions or renovations. Or they have passed his name on to other homeowners. His track record is a byproduct of his philosophy. “The most important thing for someone to know is it’s gong to be a quality-built house,“ Dickson said. “That’s what’s important to me. Every house that I build and at every price point I build, we deliver a quality product to meet their needs for design and selection of materials. “I think the most important thing is quality, and treating people with respect and customer relations. That’s why I think I have so much referral business. No one would call you back two or three times to do another job if

He breaks it down in the most simplistic terms. “I think that what we can do, and what I’ve tried to do, is just build really good homes,” he said. “Sometimes they’re very innovative in design when it’s appropriate, other times just well built.” Since starting in 1972, Dickson Development has built nearly 400 homes and completed more than 100 renovations. At one time the company erected entire complexes but now it is limited to single homes. In the 1990s, Dickson began to diversify by doing renovations. “I started working for previous clients, whether it was finishing a basement, doing an addition, remodeling a kitchen,” Dickson said. “That developed into the design and build business, which is really what I do now.” Dickson is quick to note that he has never built the same home twice. Even when it was an entire community, he met with each client and customized the model plans to grant their wishes. That is the case to this day, as he understands the importance of a home being more than just four walls. It is a place to live and create memories. “I think we understand the pressure and the concerns, and try to address them through dialogue, especially when we’re doing the design,” Dickson said. “If we’re bidding on a job where they already have the plans, we’re not involved in that but we might be involved in the selection of the finishes. But especially when we’re doing the design and working with the client on the design it’s our role to ask all the appropriate ques-

tions and then solve the problem, and design the product and also do it on budget, which is very, very important.” Sitting at his office desk, Dickson has a cutout figure of John Wayne peeking over his shoulder. The Duke’s presence, he said, helps keep everything calm, but Dickson seems adept at handling pressure situations with ease and intelligence. That’s what comes from over four successful decades in the business. After graduating from Rutgers, Dickson did commercial construction in Manhattan at the advice of his dad. Several years later he began working with David in East Windsor and soon started his own business with his father’s help. “I couldn’t pay for the consulting advice he could provide,”he said. “He helped finance my business when I started, and for the first few projects he got involved. He retired but was always there for me to help me and give advice, which was invaluable. Especially since I was in my 20s and early 30s when I started this.” David would visit sites with his son and offer comments, and did so until his death at 90. While Richard’s own children went on to successful careers outside of building, he has developed a family atmosphere with longtime employees Fran Berkowitz, Ronnie Rudolph and Bonnie Foster. “One of the ways we’re able to finish on time is an orderly process of doing the [materials] selection,” Dickson said. “Fran has been with me for 31 years. Her job is working with the clients to make the selections. We don’t send our clients to go pick the plumbing fixtures or go meet with the cabinet designer on their own. Fran goes with them. And it helps with all this coordination, getting everything there on time and finishing.“ As for the crew itself, Dickson likes consistency. He uses the same

trade partners for every job and has had one plumber all 45 years. Some things change over the years but for the most part they remain steady. He has carpenters and laborers on staff and also uses carpenter contractors. “Some of them are very large contractors but I use the same crew over and over so they know us and we know them,” Dickson said. “I think we end up with a really nice culture on the construction site because the men all know one another. They see one another from job to job. “Because I use the same contractors, I get great cooperation when we’re bidding, when we’re pricing, because they know if I get the job, they have the job. So it helps us really bring together a proposal for clients as quickly as possible. They know when I get the job, they have the job. I don’t look for someone who can do it cheaper later.” Dickson and his wife currently live in a home he built within the development he built — Province Hill in Lawrence. He also built the Sunrise development in West Windsor, one of the area’s first energy efficient communities, in the mid 1980s. He promotes energy efficiency in all his new homes and even suggests it in renovations, noting that something that costs more now can pay off in future savings on gas and electric bills. With his growing list of renovation projects, Dickson promises the client that no addition will look like something that just got tacked on to the house. “Our goal is that when it’s done, it looks like it belonged there from the beginning and maybe it even looks better,” he said. “You have to pay attention to form and how you mass it and how you do it, the relationship of the volume to the existing space.” He will not build outside a 7-mile radius of Princeton. The reason being, he is very protective of every project and wants to put out fires before they have time to grow. “I never want to be in a position where I have to think how long I have to take to get to a job if there is a problem,” he said. “I don’t want to think about, ‘Gee, they need me there but it’s 45 minutes to get there.’ I have a wonderful staff, a good foreman, but I’m very involved in the construction. I really enjoy the construction process. It’s what I do, I get a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment out of it.” And that’s something that hasn’t changed in 61 years, much to the enjoyment of many happy homeowners. Dickson Development Corporation is locatd at 666 Plainsboro Road, Suite 2000 F Plainsboro. For more information, go to www.dicksondevelopment.com or call 609-799-0220.

LOOSE ENDS

Reinventing Princeton’s plans for the future

Saturday, May 20, was my birthday. I am officially old, and I celebrated my oldness by participating in an old Princeton ritual. I attended a community information-and-input session on the topic of Princeton planning and development — Princeton Future’s forum: “Where will Princeton be in 20 years?” I have lost count, but my old brain figures that since the dawn of the 21st century, I have attended at least 20 community sessions on transportation, several development proposals, parking, housing, rateables, property taxes, sustainability, downtown retail, Princeton University’s relationship with the town, etc. In 2000, Princeton Future was established by several Princeton residents who were concerned about the lack of community input on plans for development of the downtown. To its credit, Princeton Future created a structure for discussions to help the community with planning issues. Princeton Planning Board Chair Wanda Gunning, also a veteran of these discussions, asked how many people in the standing-room-only crowd in the community room of the Princeton Public Library would be alive 20 years from now? My guesstimate, based on a wrinkle-and-gray-hair visual survey, was less than 10 percent of the audience members. (Princeton Future President Kevin Wilkes, architect and founding president of Princeton Design Guild, said 20 percent.) The sentiment among the oldies in the room was, “Enough with the input, are we going to live long enough to see the output?” My birthday gift came in the form of some thoughts unwrapped and unfiltered from Jim Constantine, a planner and principal in the firm Looney Ricks Kiss, an architectural, planning, interior design, and community engagement firm

based in Memphis with an office in Princeton. Constantine’s comments worked better than my giant collection of anti-wrinkle creams to make me feel young by giving me some hope for Princeton’s future — during my lifetime. In his Princeton Future presentation, he talked revolution. The conversation for the forum was based on the following statement: “Looking ahead for 20 to 30 years, Princeton Future foresees more technological changes in how we live. While protecting our traditional residential neighborhoods and commercial districts, we have identified 25 sites where the Princeton zoning code should provide for increased density, mixed use, open space, economical construction, public transit, decreased parking requirements, public-private off-street shared parking, and more variety and choice of housing, affordable to low, moderate, middle income families and individuals.” Saying to myself that I was too old for yet another discussion, I zoned out for most of the meeting, because the comments sounded old. Audience members expressed negative, anti-change sentiments, while supporting all the socially progressive idealism articulated by the above Princeton Future statement. For some, smart planning and smart growth are desirable only if the progressive planning principles can be accomplished without changing the “character” the neighborhood, without reducing parking spaces, without putting stress on the school system, without lowering property values, without increasing taxes, without increasing traffic on neighborhood streets, and without causing random strangers to park in front their homes. My conclusion was that the residents and governing offi-

Jim Constantine of Looney Ricks Kiss says Princeton’s planning process needs a revolution and a reinvention. cials were stuck in a traffic jam of ideas and unable to move forward. The different ideas and opinions (negative and positive) have little to do with Princeton’s sticky planning problem, according to Constantine, who has worked with such communities as Metuchen, Highland Park, and Hightstown to define their planning vision and implement it. The problem, he said, is the lack of a well-articulated vision supported by a nimble planning process. With characteristic bluntness, Constantine called for a disruption, a revolution, a reinvention of the Princeton planning process. Without some changes, Princeton will find itself lagging in vitality and desirability behind the other New Jersey communities with whom he has worked. Princeton needs to go from being reactive to planning problems and development/redevelopment applications to being proactive by taking steps to implement a cohesive vision. The residents and offi-

cials should move from soulsearching discussions to implementing a planning process that encourages flexibility and creativity in development. And that will take the courage to take such steps as declaring portions of the town “Areas In Need of Rehabilitation” and/or implement zoning changes such as “right-sizing” (i.e., reducing) parking requirements, and instituting a policy of common-use driveways behind retail (similar to Lawrenceville’s downtown). The goal would be to eliminate the pedestrian/cyclist hazardous curb cuts and driveways in front of retail areas. “We are striving for end results that reflect consensus,” Constantine said. “But I define consensus as 70 percent of the people getting 70 percent of what they want.” I asked him about the one major exception to the uninspired Princeton planning process — the redevelopment of Hinds Plaza/Spring Street area. He said he believed it was Bob Geddes, architect, planner, and dean emeritus of the

Princeton University School of Architecture (1965-1982) “who started the effort to recognize that the process needed to change to create a downtown place not just a library project,” Constantine said. “Former Princeton Borough Mayor Marvin Reed was a leader who recognized the benefits of the ‘big idea,’ and he then responded strategically when a visioning process showed that the public did want a mixed-use downtown place,” Constantine said. “But implementing this big idea was complicated in terms of needing more than one parcel of land. Phasing that required moving the library twice, and needing a process to select a qualified redeveloper. Marv was committed and willing to fight through the opposition that never let up, and fought him in lawsuits that were ultimately decided after everything was built. “How was this process different? What usually happens in Princeton is that the town just writes or rewrites zoning as the applicant comes up with a plan, the review process com-

mences and the public engages at hearings. At Hinds Plaza, first came the ‘big idea,’ then a vision with public consensus, then a concept plan and selection of a developer with public review, and finally the detailed plan.” Reed, who now lives in Montgomery Township at Stone Bridge where Bob Geddes also now resides, came to the Princeton Future meeting, because intellectually he always will be a Princeton resident with an unending commitment to the well being of his friends and neighbors. He helped Princeton Future come up with the list of 25 potential redevelopment sites. Constantine emphasized that at this point in Princeton’s history, the town needs not only a leader, but also one equipped with the right tools to make things happen. “We need to shake things up.” I look forward to my next birthday where I hope Happy Birthday to you will be replaced by “Shake it up, baby, come on and twist and shout.”

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Philippe J. Khouri

Depression not a normal part of aging

Though depression may be a common condition among older adults, it is not a normal part of aging. While it’s true that almost everyone experiences feelings of sadness or grief at different points in their lives, often those feelings subside with a little time. However, when those feelings linger, they can interfere with everyday life and make the golden years seem not so golden after all. Fortunately, once diagnosed, depression is treatable. Princeton House Behavioral Health, a unit of Princeton HealthCare System, offers a variety of programs tailored to meet the psychiatric needs of older adults and to help them cope with the issues and challenges of aging. Older adults at increased risk Growing older does not automatically mean growing depressed. Yet older adults are at an increased risk for experiencing depression. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 80 percent of older adults have at least one chronic health condition and 50 percent have two or more. Depression is more common in people with chronic conditions and other illnesses — like heart disease or cancer — or whose function becomes limited. In addition to illness, other risk factors for depression can include: • Loss of independence and the loss of ability to do the things they used to do, such as drive • Certain medications commonly prescribed to older adults, such as medications to treat hypertensions, steroids and other drugs • Genetics and family history

Signs and symptom of depression Depression is more than just feeling down or blue every now and then, and it is different than the grief that is experienced after the loss of loved one. Depression is a true medical condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness or anxiety that last for weeks at a time. Other signs of depression may include: • Feelings of sadness, unhappiness and/or anxiety • Fatigue, lack of energy • Loss of interest or pleasure in everyday activities • Sleep problems, including trouble getting to sleep, very early morning waking, and sleeping too much • Eating more or less than usual • Crying too often or too much • Aches and pains that don’t go away when treated • A hard time focusing, remembering or making decisions • Feeling guilty, helpless, worthless • Irritability • Thoughts of death or suicide or a suicide attempt (Depression is the most significant risk factor for suicide in the elderly population, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.) Additional signs of depression that are more specific to older adults include hallucinations, delusions, memory problems and confusion. If you or a loved one has several of these warning signs and they last for more than two weeks, see a doctor. Feeling powerless is often part of being depressed. For that reason, it is recommended to bring another person to serve as an advocate during doctor’s visits.

The inability to focus, remember, or make decisions also makes having an advocate with you when you speak with your physician a good idea. Diagnosis and treatment options Older adults may be reluctant to seek help for depression because they often don’t understand that they could feel better with the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Often, they may believe their symptoms are a natural reaction to life changes or illness that may occur with aging, and they just have to live with it. However, most older adults see improvement in their symptoms once they are diagnosed and treated. In most cases, depression can be successfully treated through talk therapy, medication, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), intensive outpatient or partial hospital programs. Talk therapy can help people think in a more positive way and equip them with new coping skills and support systems to help them deal with life changes. Sometimes, just having someone to talk to can help relieve mild depressive symptoms. Individuals with more severe depression, anxiety and other mood disorders may benefit from intensive outpatient or partial hospital programs. Princeton House Behavioral Health offers the Senior Link Program for older adults who are experiencing mental health issues that have an impact on their sense of well being and overall functioning. Individuals typically attend Senior Link four to five full days a week at first, and as they go through the recovery process, they can attend fewer days per week.

A Tony nominee and a new writing prof at the Lewis Center By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor

The Tony Awards are Broadway’s biggest night, but June 11 will be particularly exciting for Jane Cox. Cox is the director of the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Theater at Princeton University, and is nominated for her lighting design on August Wilson’s “Jitney,” which ran from December to March. Cox is a lighting designer who has been lecturing at the Lewis Center since 2007 and was named its director last year. She was also recently nominated for a Lucille Lortel Award for her lighting design of New York Theatre Workshop’s production of “Othello.” Cox has received numerous awards for her work as a lighting designer and recently received the Ruth Morley Design Award from the League of Professional Theatre Women and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lighting Design for a Musical for the recent Broadway revival of “The Color Purple.” The 71st annual Tony Awards will be broadcast on CBS, live from the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, on Sunday, June 11. The Lewis Center also announced that Yiyun Li will join its creative wrting faculty in September. She has been appointed a full professor of creative writing and will teach undergraduate creative writing workshops. Li’s is the author of “A Thousand Years of Good Prayers,” a short story collection that won the Frank O’Con-

nor International Short Story Award, PEN/Hemingway Award, The Guardian First Book Award, and California Book Award for first fiction. Her novel, “The Vagrants,” won the gold medal of California Book Award for fiction, and was shortlisted for International Dublin Literary Award. Her most recent book is a memoir, “Dear Friend, from

Yiyun Li will join the Lewis Center’s creative writing faculty staff in September. My Life I Write to You in Your Life,” which was published in February. Her writing has been featured in The New Yorker, A Public Space, Granta, The Best American Short Stories, and The O. Henry Prize Stories, among others. Li grew up in Beijing and came to the United States in 1996 to pursue a science career in immunology before she became a writer. In announcing the appointment, Tracy K. Smith, Director of the Program in Creative Writing and a Pulitzer Prizewinning poet, noted, “We are impressed by Yiyun’s philosophy of teaching writing, which cleaves closely to her philoso-

phy of reading in its emphasis upon ‘curiosity, generosity, and finding connections that make writers not separate beings but a conscious part of conversations that span decades and centuries and continents,’” said Tracy K. Smith, director of the creative writing program and a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. “Her generosity of spirit, her commitment to service and her empathy for her students make us confident that her presence will add immeasurably to the creative writing community at Princeton.” Li will join Program in Creative Writing faculty Jeffrey Eugenides, Jhumpa Lahiri, Paul Muldoon, Joyce Carol Oates, James Richardson, Kirstin Valdez Quade, Susan Wheeler, and Edmund White, and a number of distinguished visiting lecturers. Through the program’s courses, students have the opportunity to pursue original work at both beginning and advanced levels in fiction, poetry, screenwriting and translation under the guidance of these practicing, award-winning writers. Students can earn a certificate in creative writing in addition to their degree in a major. Each year two dozen seniors work individually with a member of the faculty on a creative writing thesis, such as a novel, screenplay, or a collection of short stories, poems, or translations. “I am thrilled to join the Lewis Center for the Arts and Princeton University,” Li said. “I look forward to being part of an intellectually and artistically dynamic conversation with students and colleagues.”
