African-American soldiers honored at Stoutsburg Cemetery By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Memorial Day is intended to honor the soldiers, sailors and airmen and women who gave their lives in wartime to preserve and protect American’s freedom - including the 38,000 African-American soldiers who died while serving in the Union Army and the Union Navy during the Civil War. So said Frederick Minus, an African-American historical reenactor. He spoke at the Stouts-
burg Cemetery Association’s annual Memorial Day ceremony Sunday afternoon. Although African-Americans have lived in the Hopewell Valley for more than 300 years, the Stoutsburg Cemetery - located off Province Line Road - dates to 1858. The land was acquired from the Stout family as a burial ground for African-Americans. The Stoutsburg Cemetery contains the graves of several African-American military veterans, including a Revolutionary
School board intros policy for ‘green’ cleaning products By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
215-354-3146
Hopewell Valley Regional School District officials, seeking Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification, have introduced a new policy that calls for “green” cleaning products to be used by the maintenance staff. The school board introduced the “Green and Healthy Schools Cleaning Policy,” which earns points for the school district toward gaining Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification. The school district is registered with Sustainable Jersey. The Sustainable Jersey for Schools program is geared toward public school districts that want to go green, conserve resources and take steps to create a brighter future, according to www.sustainablejerseyschools.com. The proposed “Green and Healthy Schools Cleaning Policy” already reflects current practices in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District, school district officials said. The district uses highperforming “green” cleaning products and HEPA-rated vacuum cleaners. The proposed policy notes that many chemicals found in cleaning products pose health risks for children, teachers and staff. Exposure to some of those chemicals may result in an increased incident of asthma, allergies, certain types of cancer, and learning and behavioral disorders, for example. “The Board believes it is not necessary to jeopardize the health and safety of our students, teachers and staff, or to pollute our environment, when many less toxic
or non-toxic alternatives are available,” the policy states. The intent of the proposed policy is to reduce exposure to those chemicals and to reduce environmental pollution by requiring the purchase and use of “green” cleaning products. Cleaning products are broken down into several categories, depending on their intended use. All-purpose cleaners, such as those used in classrooms, bathrooms, hallways and cafeterias, must have “no or low VOC (volatile organic compound) content.” Cleaning products cannot be caustic or corrosive, and may not be used in an aerosol can that has a petrochemical propellant, the policy states. They may not contain nonfood-grade dyes or known cancercausing chemicals. Cleaning products that are used to sanitize or disinfect bathrooms, gyms, nurses’ offices and the kitchens are in a second category. Those products must be registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They are to be used for specific reasons, and cannoat be used when children are present. A third category of cleaning products - those used for floor stripping and finishing, graffiti removal, degreasing and heavy-duty carpet-cleaning - cannot contain styrene, petroleum solvents or heavy metal such as zinc, chromium or nickel. The use of green cleaning products is only one example of the school district’s “Green Initiatives.” See GREEN, Page 3A
War veteran and many Civil War veterans who belonged to a segregated infantry unit. There are veterans from subsequent wars, also. Few people realize that 209,000 African-American men served in the Union Army and the Union Navy in the Civil War. Those who signed up for the Union Army served in one of the 166 regiments in the U.S. Colored Troops, Minus said. President Abraham Lincoln called on each Union state to raise regiments of soldiers. New Jersey
Gov. Joel Parker, however, was opposed to the Civil War and to the President’s order. Gov. Parker asked for the 2,900 New Jersey African-American men who signed up with regiments in Pennsylvania to be counted toward New Jersey’s quota, Minus said. This meant New Jersey did not have to enroll as many white soldiers, he added. Minus said the 209,000 African-American soldiers who served in the U.S. Colored Troops fought in 449 battles, 39 of which
were considered key battles. They were led by 7,000 white officers. He noted that of those soldiers, 15 African-American Union Army soldiers and eight African-American Union Navy sailors were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. An additional Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously by President Bill Clinton. African-American soldiers who served in the Civil War died at a higher per capita rate than their white counterparts - whether See CEMETERY, Page 3A

Communities throughout the Hopewell Valley area took time throughout Memorial Day weekend to remember the men and women who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military.

Environmental group introduces ‘passport’ for local preserves By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
Nature-minded individuals looking to visit the Hopewell Valley area’s numerous nature preserves this summer can do so while potentially winning prizes through the newly introduced Preserve Passport program. Provided by the Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space (FoHVOS), the program gives visitors a fun and unique way to mark all the sites that they have vis-
ited. “The Preserve Passport directs people to FoHVOS preserves that are hidden gems throughout the valley,” Heidi Kahme, Hopewell Valley Municipal Alliance Chair, said. “FoHVOS has partnered on Come Outside and Play since its inception and the Mount Rose Grand Opening is featured as this year’s COaP Preview Activity.” According to officials, the program is free to all interested parties and avail-
able at Mercer County Library-Hopewell Branch, Hopewell Public Library or Pennington Public Library. Once a passport is picked up, officials said participants can visit the kiosk at three or more FoHVOS preserves and record its corresponding preserve code on the passport. Each location will have special activities listed in the passport for visitors once they’re there. Once the passport is completed, participants
have until September 1 to submit it in order to be entered for that month’s drawing. Completed passports can also be submitted at those locations throughout the summer. “Early birds” can also bring their completed passports to the Grand Opening of the Mount Rose Preserve from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 3 for a free tee shirt and an entry into a September drawing for additional prizes.

it was due to gunshots or disease. In the span of 18 months, 38,000 AfricanAmerican soldiers died, Minus said. Minus, who belongs to the 6th Regiment of the 6th U.S. Colored Troops re-enactment group and to the Sons of Union Veterans, encouraged the attendees to look into joining the Sons of Union Veterans. It is open to descendants of Civil War soldiers who fought for the Union. “Many of you have the right to be one of the Sons of Union Veterans. When we look at these monuments in the Stoutsburg Cemetery to the men who served in the 127th Colored Infantry, they are your relatives,” Minus said. Minus urged the attendees to learn from history because “if you don’t know where you came from, you won’t know where you’re going. From the cotton fields to the White House, we Photo by Lea Kahn made it.” “But you have to stay ever vigilant to the mission Frederick Minus, an African-American historical re-enactor (right), stands at Stoutsburg Cemetery with Stoutsburg Cemetery Association President John Buck. of freedom,” Minus said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Scotch Road project a losing proposition for township To the editor:
Thursday, June 22, 2017, is a date that will live in infamy in Hopewell Township. For on that day, at its regular 7 p.m. meeting, the Hopewell Township Planning Board will vote to recommend to the township committee that both east side and west side of Scotch Road are areas in need of redevelopment. And the demise of the Scotch Road area will result forever. Step by step, Scotch Road gets closer to massive development. Less than six months ago, the planning board voted to recommend that the township committee re-zone the east side under the guise of protecting the west side. At the most recent planning board meeting on May 25, the public was told, for the first time, that because the planning board recommended to re-zone the east side, the cornfield that is the west side became eligible to be denoted an
area in need of re-development. But for the planning board’s illconceived action, the west side would not be in the crosshairs. And those township power-brokers that could stop the relentless march to massive development are, in reality, the very ones who are promoting the overdevelopment of Scotch Road. Why else would the township committee have asked the planning board for expedited consideration? Remember the Planning Board’s 2014 failed attempt to create a “destination” on both east and west Scotch Road called Jacob’s Creek Village? This year’s version should be called Jacob’s Creek City. It will be a destination, alright, a destination to public betrayal. Harvey Lester Titusville

It was a very wet, foul morning but the Pennington Memorial Day Parade still prevailed and marched its way down Main Street again this year as neighbors, friends and families lined the streets to honor our nation’s fallen heroes. The parade would not be possible if it weren’t for the many volunteers and Borough employees who join together each year to make it a memorable day for all. With that said we would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their time and commitment to this year’s parade. First and foremost to our Hopewell Valley Veteran’s, driven
by Colonel Kenneth Baker. Thanks to Venturing Crew 44 for their color guard and participation in the laying of the wreath ceremony. Special thanks to the Mayor, past and present elected officials, Bill Meytrott and the entire Police Department, the Public Works Department and the Borough Administrative Office. We are grateful to the following local businesses and community members which support our parade each year: The Pennington Market, Wayne Tuck of Mid State Equipment Company for the use of the gator, The Pennington School for the use of their grounds, Dahlia’s Floral Concepts for the memorial wreath, Rita’s Water Ice for end of the parade refreshments, Hopewell Valley Board of Education, Blackwell Memorial Home for entering their antique horse driven hearse, The Pennington Professional & Business Association and The Hopewell Valley News.

Voters to choose candidates in primary election By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
Democratic and Republican voters in Central Jersey will go to the polls Tuesday, primary day around the state, to determine who will represent the two major parties in contests for the Legislature and for governor in November. In the 14th legislative district, incumbent state Sen. Linda R. Greenstein, a Democrat, faces no challenger. But on the Republican side, Bruce C. Mac Donald and Ileana
Schirmer are battling to see who will oppose Greenstein. In the Assembly race, the outcome is clearer. Incumbent Democrats Wayne P. DeAngelo and Daniel R. Benson are unopposed, as are Republican challengers Steven Uccio and Kristian Stout. In the 15th district, state Sen. Shirley K. Turner, a Democrat, is running unopposed, as is her Republican challenger Lee Eric Newton. Incumbents Assemblyman Reed Gusciora and Assemblywoman Liz
THE STATE WE’RE IN
Muoio face a challenge from Gail Boyland on the Democratic side, while Republicans Rimma Yakobovich and Emily Rich are unopposed. In the 16th district, state Sen. Kip Bateman, a Republican, is running unopposed, as is Democrat Laurie Poppe. The Assembly race in the 16th will feature Andrew Zwicker, an incumbent, and fellow Democrat Roy Freiman running unopposed. Likewise, Republicans Donna M. Simon and Mark Caliguire are unopposed.
The big contest of the day, however, will be for governor. The main event on the Republican side will pit Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno against Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli (R16), while Democrat Phil Murphy is seen as the front-runner on the Democratic side, despite challenges from state Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak (D20), Assemblyman John S. Wisniewski (D-19) and Jim Johnson. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

June and open space - Perfect together And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days.” So begins James Russell Lowell’s poem extolling the beauty and restorative powers of nature during this magical month when spring blossoms into summer, with the longest days of the year. June also happens to be New Jersey’s inaugural Open Space Month! These long “perfect days” are perfect for discovering the rich variety of lands our state has permanently preserved. How about getting out in June to hike, fish, bike, kayak, connect with nature and unwind - while appreciating the beauty of these preserved open spaces? Open Space Month kicks off on Thursday, June 1, when several of New Jersey’s legislative environmental champions will speak at the State House in Trenton about New Jersey’s progress toward preserving open space and the challenges ahead. New Jersey Keep It Green is leading this campaign, which includes events throughout June hikes, festivals, walks, tastings, bike tours, camping and more. To see the full calendar, visit https://www.facebook.com/ NJKee pItGreen/. You can also celebrate Open Space Month by entering the Instagram photo contest. Photographers of all levels are invited to follow the @njkeepitgreen page on Instagram, take photos of favorite natural places in New Jersey and post them under the hashtag #shareyourspacenj. Keep It Green will award cash prizes to the winners’ favorite conservation groups
in random drawings … helping to promote the preservation of even more land! Did you know that the Garden State has nearly 1.5 million preserved acres, including over 1.2 million acres of open space and more than 200,000 acres of preserved farmland? That’s a lot of photo ops! Yet, New Jersey is the nation’s most densely populated state, with an average of about 1,200 people per square mile. Preserving land for the health and enjoyment of current and future generations - and for the wide diversity of animals and plants that make New Jersey their home - is critical for our state. The good news: In 2014, in a major victory for preservation, voters approved a constitutional amendment to permanently fund open space by dedicating a portion of the state’s corporate business tax revenues. Last year, the state Legislature and Governor Christie reached an agreement on how to allocate the funds among the state’s Green Acres, farmland preservation, historic sites preservation and Blue Acres programs. Earlier this month, the money was released when the governor signed a bill appropriating nearly $60 million from the open space fund to support a wide range of projects. Under the bill, $26.6 million will be spent on land acquisition, $26.5 million will go toward capital projects in state parks and wildlife refuges, and the remaining $6.4 million will fund the Blue Acres initiative, in which the state buys and razes
homes in flood-prone areas. The land acquisition list includes: * $4.3 million for properties on the Cape May Peninsula, including additions to Cape May Point State Park and Higbee Beach Wildlife Management Area; * $3.7 million for properties in the Ridge and Valley Greenway, including linkages between public lands like the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Stokes State Forest, High Point State Park and Jenny Jump State Forest. * $3.3 million for “Crossroads of the American Revolution” properties, including Revolutionary War battlegrounds, encampment sites, barracks and soldier footpaths; * $3.5 million for the Delaware Bay Watershed Greenway, especially lands that protect the corridors of major rivers draining into the bay; * $5 million for land in the Highlands Greenway, which is critical to ensuring the integrity of New Jersey’s water supplies and maintaining biodiversity; and * $1.5 million for land in the Pinelands, to ensure water quality, ecosystem integrity and continued recreational activities like canoeing/kayaking, camping and hunting. Celebrate Open Space Month by visiting beautiful preserved lands near you New Jersey’s parks, forests, waters, natural areas, historic sites and farms!

Mr. Schluter is a former Republican Party politician from New Jersey, who has served in both houses of the New Jersey Legislature.

Acts of soft corruption are moral and/or ethical transgressions engaged in by public officials in their quest for political power and/or personal benefit. These acts are perfectly legal; they do not break any laws, so they cannot be prosecuted as criminally corrupt. In order to fully understand the extent to which soft corruption affects the functions of government, it is essential to have a comprehensive description of it as it is practiced by many of New Jersey’s political leaders.

ADJUNCTIVE TREATMENT There sometimes are cases that call for limited orthodontic treatment to be carried out in conjunction with restorative procedures in order to attain the desired results. For instance, when extracted or missing teeth cause other teeth to drift out of alignment, temporary use of a “space maintainer” can keep the space open until an implant can be introduced. In cases where people with under- or over-sized teeth have abnormal spacing between their teeth, orthodontic treatment may be used to redistribute the space and de-emphasize the size difference between neighboring teeth. Similarly, straightening misaligned front teeth before the placement of porcelain veneers or crowns can eliminate the need for major tooth reduction or oversized restorations. 7KH EHQH¿WV RI RUWKRGRQWLF treatment often go beyond the obvious physical changes of an improved bite and straighter teeth. It’s also a great way to improve a person’s overall selfimage. While having beautiful straight teeth is important, even more important is the need to alleviate any potential health problems associated with the teeth or jaw. To schedule a free orthodontic consultation, please FDOO WKH RI¿FH RI MARK W. McDONOUGH, DMD, LLC, at 609-730-1414. We are located at 245 South Main Street (next to Toll Gate Grammar School), Pennington.
P.S. Adjunctive orthodontic treatment is frequently undertaken in conjunction with periodontal treatment to improve the health of the gums.

A SENSE OF PLACE
Among the many factors that funeral preplanning addresses is the issue of where the deceased’s remains will be buried, entombed, or scattered. In the short interval between the death and burial of a loved one, many family members ďŹ nd themselves rushing to purchase a cemetery plot or grave, often without careful thought or a visit to the site. For this reason alone, it is in the family’s best interest to purchase cemetery plots before they are needed. When doing so, consider the location of the cemetery and what type of monuments or memorials are allowed. Remember that all veterans are entitled to free burial in a national cemetery and a grave marker, as are their spouses and dependent children. We take great pride in providing
meaningful and digniďŹ ed funeral services and always provide choices to best suit your needs. We are dedicated to respecting your choices and answering every question with sensitivity and integrity. Contact us any time, whether you are in need of traditional services, immediate burials, cremations, or would simply like to learn more about pre-planning programs.

Setting the Stage for Summer A preview of what area theaters have in store this season By Anthony Stoeckert The summer theater season is in full gear with shows like “Buddy” at the Bucks County Playhouse; “The Merchant of Venice” at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey” and “An Inspector Calls” at ActorsNET of Bucks County.
f you’re looking for a good story this summer, you’re bound to find a few of them on the stages of the area’s theater groups. Some of the stories will be old, some will be new, some will be told with music, some will be funny, others touching, and a few will be told in iambic pentameter While many of the area’s theaters present their seasons from fall to spring, there are still plenty of plays and musicals to see in the summer at theaters and festivals that keep busy during the hot months. The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey has opened its season with Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice,” with a production that’s receiving praise. The story of love, greed and revenge is on stage at the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the Drew University campus, through June 4. Summer at the Shakespeare Theatre will continue with its annual outdoor production at the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown. This year the theater is presenting “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” June 14 through July 30. The annual outdoor show is a highlight of any summer. Attendees are invited to bring food and drink, the productions are family-friendly and the actors always have something fun up their sleeves for when planes fly overhead. And Shakespeare’s love story that takes place during a wedding in the woods under moonlight is perfect for the setting. The theater’s indoor offerings will continue with Moliere’s rarely produced “The Bungler,” in which a young man, with the help of his servant, attempts to win the heart of a gypsy girl. It runs July 5-30. For tickets and information on the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s season, go to shakespearenj. org or call 973-408-5600. The Bucks County Playhouse’s summer season is underway in New Hope, Pennsylvania, with the return of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,” through June 17. The musical tells the story of Holly’s brief but powerful career in rock ‘n’ roll, from his first recording sessions to his death in a plane crash. It features such hits as “That’ll be the Day,” “Rave On,” “Oh, Boy!” and others. Summer is a time for laughter, and the Bucks Playhouse is promising lots of laughts with “The Nerd” a comedy by Larry Shue. In the play, Willum’s birthday party gets disrupted when a fellow ex-solider who saved Willum’s life in Vietnam shows up for a visit. Willum is thrilled to finally meet the man who saved his life but finds out that Rick plans on staying a long, long time. The play runs June 23 through July 15. Next up is one of the great American musicals, “Guys and Dolls,” running July 21 through Aug. 12. The classic based on the stories of Damon Runyon about gamblers in New York City features such classic songs as “Luck Be a Lady,” “A Bushel and a Peck,” “If I Were a Bell,” and “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat.” Summer will wrap up at Bucks with “Other Desert Cities,” Jon Robin Baitz’s play about Brooke,
who returns to her parents home in Palm Spring on Christmas Eve with a copy of her soon-to-be-published tell-all memoir. It runs Aug. 18 through Sept. 2. For tickets and information, go to bcptheater.org. The Princeton Festival takes place in June and offers various live performances, including an opera and musical theater presentation. This year’s opera, Beethoven’s “Fidelio” is being performed at McCarter Theatre, June 18 and 25. For this year’s musical, the festival is presenting “Man of La Mancha” at the Matthews Acting Studio in Princeton, June 10-25. For tickets and information, go to princetonfestival. org. Princeton Summer Theatre will open its new season at the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus with “Pippen,” the Tony-winning musical by Stephen Schwartz (“Wicked”). Next up will be a mystery, Agatha Christie, “Spider Web,” July 13-23. Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” will be staged July 13-23. The season will wrap up with the Obiewinning play “Appropriate,” Aug. 10-20. For tickets and information, go to www. princetonsummertheater.org. Kelsey Theatre is starting the summer by finishing its 2016-17 season with Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” presented by the Yardley Players, through June 4. Based on the hit movie, the show features the story of Ariel, a mermaid who longs to join the human world, and songs including “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girls.” Next up is “The Glass Menagerie” from Maurer Productions OnStage, June 9-18. The Tennessee Williams classic is told through the character of Tom,
who shares his memories of his mother, Amanda, and sister Laura. Shakespeare 70 will present the Bard’s “Measure for Measure,” June 23 through July 2. In the play, Duke Vincentio pretends to leave Vienna on a diplomatic mission, but his real goal is to put the righteous stickler Angelo in charge because morals in Vienna have become too lax. But Angelo finds himself lusting after Isabella, who is the sister of Claudio, who is sentenced to death for impregnating his fiancée, Juliet. Summer at Kelsey will continue with the classic showbiz musical “42nd Street,” by M&M Stage Productions, followed by “Annie Get Your Gun,” July 28 through Aug. 6.

IN CONCERT By Anthony Stoeckert
If It Ain’t Baroque... La Fiocco will perform music devoted to ‘Saints, Sinners & Shepherds’
D
uring its upcoming concert in Princeton, the baroque ensemble La Fiocco will play music from the 17th and 18th centuries, including a world premiere — sort of. Petrus Hercules Brehy (1678-1741) was a composer born in Brussels, and the director of music at the collegiate church of SS Michael and Gudula (known today as the Cathedral of Brussels). In the late 1980s and early ‘90s, Lewis Baratz, founder and director of La Fiocco, went to the cathedral as part of the work on his Ph.D. Shortly before he got there, music manuscripts were discovered. “There were roughly 430 music manuscripts that were known,� Baratz says. “They were catalogued in the 1920s. And just before I arrived, they discovered another 30 or 40 manuscripts that were in a crypt. They were doing restoration work on the church, so they had just been rediscovered. The world was my oyster. I had access to these manuscripts and to the archival materials. It was really fascinating because it was a huge repertory that nobody really knew anything about, or had done any extensive work on.� He studied what sacred music was like at the church and worked on biographical studies of the church’s composers, and analyzed their place in music history. He also completed a transcription of a piece by Brehey titled “Deus in nominee tuo,� which La Fiocco will perform during the June 3 concert, titled “Saints, Sinners, & Shepherds� at United Methodist Church in Princeton. Baratz says the concert’s title refers to three stock characters from 17th- and 18th-century art, literature and opera. “It gives us a lot of repertory possibilities to focus on,� he says. The concert will feature guest artists Laura Heimes, a soprano who will join La Fiocco for the last work in the program, Handel’s “Armida abbandonata.� Brian Ming Chu, a baritone who specialize in baroque and contemporary music, also will sing during the concert. Instruments heard in the concert include baroque violin, baroque cello, viola da gamba, recorder and harpsichord. “We’ll be looking first at English saints, sinners and shepherds,� Baratz says. “This is English music at the end of the 17th century.� The concert will open with a work by Henry Purcell and also include a work by William Williams called “Sonata in Imitation of Birds.� Baratz says the Williams piece grew out of a bird culture
Soprano Laura Heimes will join La Fiocco when the baroque ensemble plays Handel’s “Armida abbandonata� during its concert, “Saints, Sinners & Shepherds� in Princeton. that was popular in London. After the Restoration, men in London incorporated elements of nature in their homes. This included playing music that birds they owned would sing to. The final piece of the first half is “Yes, my Aminta, ‘tis too true� by Henry Hall. “He was a student with Purcell,� Baratz says. “Hall was a composer and a poet. And after Purcell’s fairly sudden death in 1695, Hall was one of several composers and colleagues that wrote an ode on his death. It’s a very poetic, very sort of tragic piece.� The second half of the concert, Baratz says, will focus on sinners, saints and shepherds from Continental Europe. This includes Vivaldi’s Concerto in G Minor, RV 105; the Brehy piece; Antonio Caldara’s Allamenda from the Trio
Sonata in F Major. The concert will close with Handel’s “Armida abbandonata.� “That was a cantata that Handel wrote when he was about 22 years old, staying in Italy,“ Baratz says. “It’s about the sorceress Armida, who is the ultimate sinner. She had fallen in love with Christian knight Rinaldo, he escapes from her clutches and she conjures a spell and demons to destroy him, so it’s a very dramatic work and that’s featuring Lauren Heimes.� Baratz says he has been interested in baroque music since he was 10 years old and his parents took him to Colonial Williamsburg. “I had already been taking piano lessons since I was 7, and I had an opportunity to play a harpsichord at Colonial Williamsburg,� he says. “And at that point, I said, ‘I love this and I want to learn everything I can about this music.’� La Fioccio plays on period instruments, some from the time of the music, others that are copies, particularly woodwinds. “I never really liked hearing baroque music on modern instruments,� he says. “To me, historic instruments and historic performing technique really bring the music to life. There’s more emphasis on the individual note and the individual figure, and on the rhetoric music and of the dance aspect of the music, as opposed to modern instrument technique, which is more concerned with a very lovely, full sound.� And playing on period instruments, he says, is becoming more common, especially for young music students. “There are so many young people now growing up in a period instrument environment,� Baratz says. “When I was a teenager they thought I was absolutely nuts because I actually was an oboe major, I started as an oboe major, they thought I was a little off because I wanted to play baroque oboe. The philosophy was as an undergrad you study an instrument and then when you get to grad school, you can slowly experiment. Today there are 11-year-olds who are fine recorder players and 15-year-olds that are excellent harpsichordists. Period instruments are being accepted as part of the musical culture.�
La Fiocco will perform at United Methodist Church, 7 Vandeventer Ave., Princeton, June 3, 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $25, $10 students; lafiocco.org. The group will also perform the concert at Trinity Episcopal Church, 6587 Upper York Road, Solebury, Pennsylvania, June 4, 3 p.m. Tickets will be sold at the door for both concerts, cash only.

Dancing for Life
G
rounds For Sculpture in Hamilton will host two performances”Dance for Life: Personal Stories of Triumph,” featuring original choreography, music and lyrics by Roxey Ballet, June 4 Presented by D&R Greenway Land Trust, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, the Breast Cancer Resource Center of the YWCA Princeton, Roxey Ballet, Grounds for Sculpture and Princeton Photography Club, the performances will raise money for an interactive “healing trail” that will integrate nature and the outdoors into the restorative, health-giving journey. The healing trail would be on one of D&R Greenway preserved lands, to extend the healing journey from the hospital’s healing garden to preserved lands across the state. The dance program will help to raise funds for a mobile app similar to one the D&R Greenway now has to help visitors understand the stories behind the preservation at Abbott Marshlands. The healing app will include stories of how nature helped others on their healing journeys. “Dance for Life: Personal Stories of Triumph” is a world premiere of dance, music, art and theater celebrating the lives of breast cancer survivors. It is a song-cycle/ballet conceived and created by Mark Roxey with original music by Robert Maggio (music) and Matthew Hardy (lyrics), and
Performances by Roxey Ballet at Grounds For Sculpture will raise money for a healing trail at the D&R Greenway. choreography by Roxey. “I’m honored and touched to produce a project like this that celebrates the lives of breast cancer survivors and all who are facing the challenge of any kind of cancer,” says Roxey, executive artistic director of Roxey Ballet. “The art of dance is at its best when you are able to create meaning that transcends the art of dance, when you can do something much greater than the single word ‘dance.’ That is what Roxey Ballet is all about. Through music, dance and spoken word, the presentation will share essence of the stories and lives of 22 breast cancer survivors interviewed by Roxey and his team. Storytellers will share the stage with the professional artists of Roxey Ballet as featured artists. The dancers will be accompanied by live music, performed by Gina Milo, Desirée Rodriguez and Aurelia Williams. In addition to the dance production, visitors will have a chance to view about a dozen healing gardens created by artists, surrounding Grounds For Sculpture’s East and West galleries. These will include a poetry garden, a music garden, a reflection garden and a “bad hair day” garden. Botanist Mary Leck will talk about the healing effects of plants. Refreshments will be provided by Starr Catering Group. The project and partnership have been in the making for a year. Sheila Geisler of the Princeton Photography Club connected D&R Greenway President & CEO Linda Mead to Lisa Freeman, event co-chair and wife of Dr. Richard Freeman, CEO of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton. Edith Howard, a D&R Greenway land donor, was at the initial meeting. “Edie was the inspiration for this partner-
ship,” Mead says. “Edie had a remarkable story of her own personal triumphs.” A film about Edith Howard’s journey will be screened as part of the events. The hospital’s healing gardens are open to the public, but the cancer center has a private garden where patients may choose to get infusions. “Some just want to sit alongside a family member and look out at the garden,” says Grillo. “The design of the garden includes arbors to protect you from the sun.” Together, Grillo and Mead discussed the possibility of a mobile app, so the healing journey would not be limited to the gardens but could be in preserved lands across the state, with stories of how nature helped others with their healing journeys. D&R Greenway already has an app to help visitors understand the stories behind the preservation at Abbott Marshlands, and plans to work on an additional app for healing trails. “In looking at how we could pay for it, we thought of this big event on June 4 as a fundraiser,” Grillo says. “Each of the 22 cancer survivors, ranging in age from their mid20s to 70, tells her story honestly and openly. All had words of courage, and strength. Sometimes we may whine about inconveniences such as a flat tire, but when you hear these women who are so strong and positive, talking about life and death and how each day is so important, you learn so much. It has been an honor to work on this project. Anyone who attends will leave feeling inspired.” Performances being at 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. Tickets cost $100 and include admission to Grounds For Sculpture, the performance and a reception.

By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor Arts and humanities funding has long been a target for some conservative politicians and activists who see the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities as unnecessary agencies that spend taxpayer money while promoting liberal agendas. The NEA became a target of some Republican politicians in the 1980s when an artwork depicting a crucifix in a jar of urine was included in a touring exhibit that was partly, and indirectly funded by the NEA. Another battle in the culture war came with an exhibit of photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe. Most images in the exhibit were not offensive most people’s standards, but there were some that pushed most people’s definition of good taste. In 2017, the NEA and the NEH are facing one of their biggest challenges in history in the form of President Donald Trump’s proposed budget, which calls for the elimination of them, along with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Past Republican presidents, such as Ronald Reagan, also attempted to make serious cuts to the endowments, but Reagan had to work with a Democratically controlled Congress. In 2017, both houses of Congress are controlled by Republicans, and how much of a fight pro-arts funding Republicans will put up is unclear. Trump’s budget would eliminate the $148 million the NEA and NEH each receive, the CPB’s $445 and the $230 million put toward The Institute of Museum and Library Services. Defenders of these expenditures note they represent .02 percent of the budget. While Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. Ted Cruz have talked about eliminating the NEA, two Republicans (Susan Collins of Maine and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia) were among the 24 senators who wrote a letter to President Trump in favor of the arts. Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas who ran against Trump in the republican primary, wrote a column in The Washington Post defending the NEA. He noted that he is a supporter of Trump’s but urged him to save the NEA. “I have zero interest in spending a dime of tax money to prop up those who hate the president and the tens of millions who elected him,” Huckabee wrote. “I do care greatly about the real recipients of endowment funds: the kids in poverty for whom NEA programs may be their only chance to learn to play an instrument, test-drive their God-given creativity and develop a passion for those things that civilize and humanize us all.” With the Princeton area being such a vibrant community in terms of the arts, it would stand to reason that area arts groups receive NEA and NEH grants.

Brett Bonfield, director of the Princeton Public Library, says a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities helps support humanities-based program at the library. Through the grant, the library is part of a progrm that aims to set an example as to how libraries can support the humanities. He adds that President Trump’s budget, which proposes the elimination of the NEH and the National Endowment for the Arts, represents the biggest challenges to those agencies he’s seen in his 10 years as a librarian. manities is “pretty much everything else” — from philosophy to criticism and political science. The library presents events that are in part funded by the grant just about every month, including a staged radioplay presentation of “Casablanca” on June 11 and Poets at the Library reading feature poets Jessica G. de Koninck and Jane Rawlings June 12. Bonfield noted that library funding also is being cut in Trump’s proposed budget. “Public libraries get very small amounts of that but we rely on them for grants and research work that’s done to help us know what to do,” he said. He’s also on the board of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, which distributes NEH grants through the federal government. The endowment is set up so that roughly half of funding is distributed federally and the other half is distributed via state organizations, such as the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, which received about $900,000 to distributed via grants to museums, cultural centers, libraries and other organizations. “That slightly less than $1 million we get for New Jersey, and the funding that the libraries get through IMLS and the services we get, are enormously important to us,” Bonfield said. “I know federally, they’re trying to reduce taxes. It’s not a huge amount of money that goes to libraries and humanities and to the arts, but there’s no redundancy in that system. If that money doesn’t come from the federal government, if those agencies aren’t doing the work that they’ve been doing now for 50 years, it’s not like there’s another agencies or institution or cooperative that’s going to be able to step in and make sure that work continues. And people will notice.” Bonfield has been working as a librarian for 10 years after careers in technology and real estate. “In the last 10 years this is by far the biggest challenge I’ve seem to making sure that we have these federal agencies and these support systems,” he said. “Talking to people who have been around this a lot longer — some of the board members of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities and talking to some of the other librarians I know who have been in the game a lot longer than I have — they say this may be the worst they’ve encountered.”
The Princeton Library and the humanities The Princeton Public Library has a challenge grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities, which allows the library to present humanities-based programs. Brett Bonfield, director of the Princeton Public Library, said that two years ago the library applied for a National Endowment Humanities Fellow, whose salary is paid out of the endowment, to present humanities programming and services at the library. “This was kind of a pilot project from the National Endowment for the Humanities to see how humanities programming could work in a public library,” Bonfield said. “So part of it is to actually provide programming and part of it is sharing the results of what we do with other public libraries so that they can also understand how to make use of humanities-based programs and services in their libraries. It’s been a nice thing for Princeton and public libraries in general.” That Fellow, Hannah Schmidel, is paid through the endowment and is not a permanent employee of the library. Her work involves public programming and outreach. In the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson cre- Funding the creation of new plays ated funds to creates the arts, sciences McCarter Theatre recently reand humanities. Bonfield said that ceived an Art Works grant of $35,000 while everyone has an understanding to support the company‘s LAB, which of arts and sciences, he notes that husupports writers at various stages of
their careers to create works for McCarter’s main stage seasons and coproductions. “The arts are for all of us, and by supporting organizations such as McCarter Theatre Center the National Endowment for the Arts is providing more opportunities for the public to engage with the arts,” NEA Chairman Jane Chu said in a statement. “Whether in a theater, a town square, a museum, or a hospital, the arts are everywhere and make our lives richer.” Timothy J. Shields, McCarter’s managing director, said that over the past two decades, the NEA has focused funding on specific projects. “So from year to year we apply for a particular project,” he said. “That is, when we submit the application to the NEA, it is judged as to its merit by an independent panel of judges. It’s quite a competitive project so we’re always pleased when a project of ours rises to the top.” He also noted that part of the NEA funding is done through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, so part of what McCarter gets from the council is given through the NEA. “In this modern day and age, and the way the economy has gone over the last dozen years, specifically the last seven or eight since the recession, I don’t think it’s a surprise for anyone to understand that arts groups are struggling to try to find a way to fund the programs that they do,” Shields said. “Here at McCarter we’re fortunate in the last six or seven years, we’ve figured out a way to at least break even every year, but it’s always on a razor’s edge of trying to find the amount of funding that’s necessary to run all the programs that McCarter does.” And some of that work involves going into the community and working with students, either through student matinees or work McCarter does in schools. “As the schools have retreated, largely, from being able to fund arts programs, McCarter has tried to do its part to step up and be present in the schools,” Shields said, “particularly over the last two or three years with a gigantic focus on the Trenton- area schools.” Bringing dance to the people Douglas Martin, artistic director of the American Repertory Ballet, said that during his tenure, the company has received two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. One supported a presentation of Twyla Tharp’s “Eight Jelly Rolls,” which allowed the company to work with the band that played the piece for Tharp.
“That was really exciting,” Martin said. “The grant itself helped us with the cost of bringing that work back and the cost of mounting it. Also, when I did my new version of ‘The Firebird,’ we got a grant for that as well because that’s a historic piece.” Martin noted that arts is a business, and it’s rare that a theater, venue or company can do their work without support, such as grants from the NEA. “Unless you able to be in a Broadway situation, where you do the same show month after month for years, you don’t make your money performing,” Martin said. “You have to get donations in order to create the art, and then the art is on stage in these theaters. But most theater across American are expensive to run, so without subsidizing the art, you can’t really have vibrant art scene.”
Effects beyond the stage He also said that NEA grants bring art to communities that otherwise might not get to see a theater or ballet piece, and that thriving arts scenes support communities in many ways. “It’s also is about business,” Martin said. “When you have a vibrant downtown and you’re bringing the arts in and you have a thriving community arts situation, all the other businesses thrive. Not just restaurants, but all of the businesses that are accustomed to having people coming downtown to support them.” According to Shields, people in the arts have been dealing with threats of cuts to the NEA for decades. He said when he first heard the news of Trump’s proposed budget, the overall reaction among arts professionals was a mix of dismay and thinking, “This again.“ He also said that fiscal responsibility is not going to happen through cutting the NEA, which costs each taxpayer 47 cents per year. “Think about the tax load that we each carry and 47 cents of that goes to fund the arts,” Shields said. “And this funding is given out in every congressional district in every state in the nation. It’s in all 50 states, it benefits us all. The return on these investments, when we get funding in the performing arts, what we do is hire people. It means jobs, it means people being gainfully employed and paying taxes and being able to consume goods. . . . The restaurants in Princeton will tell you what it means on a night when McCarter is up and running. All the merchants all the parking meters that are filled with coins, these are spinoff benefits of people traveling to come to McCarter to see shows, none of that happens if we don’t fund the arts.”

Father and son share special moment on the racetrack By Brett Carroll Staff Writer
Plant and garden farmers Peter Gasko Senior and Junior share a name, a business, and now, a drag race victory. On April 30, Peter Gasko Jr. competed in the 2017 Factory Stock Showdown in Charlotte, North Carolina. Gasko Jr. won the drag race with his COPO Camaro after a really fast light jump, clocking in at .008 off the gun at the start of the race. As a major underdog in the race, he thanked his family for helping him secure his car, as well as their support.
Gasko Jr. stated that he was a big fan of cars and racing ever since he was a kid. When he was 14, his dad let him enter a raffle from General Motors to receive a COPO Camaro. “GM actually makes the COPO car every year to give away,” Gasko Sr. explained. “They only make like 70 each year though, so you have to enter a raffle to get one. Thousands of people enter the raffle a year, so the chances aren’t that great.” After years of entering the raffle, Gasko Jr. finally won the car when he was 17. Two years later, he was in the Factory Stock Showdown, winning the biggest race of his life.

Peter Gasko Jr. (left) recently won the Stock Showdown drag race in North Carolina, making a sports fan out of his father, Peter Gasko Sr.
“I never thought it would turn into this,” Gasko Sr. explained. “When we first got the car, I thought we would just have some fun with it, but never could I have imagined him winning like this.” The Gaskos own the Gasko’s Family Farm and Greenhouses in Monroe Township, and provide plants, vegetables, and other garden vegetation to homeowners. The business has been passed down for generations, with Gasko Jr. being the fifth generation of Gasko to man and work the farm. Despite his success on the track, Gasko Jr. still strives to carry on the family business.
“The farm is still the most important thing,” Gasko Jr. said. “Racing is just something fun I do on the side.” When he isn’t racing on the track, or working on the farm, he’s a full-time student at Cornell University, majoring in, of course, agricultural science. “It always leads back to the farm,” his father joked. “But it’s good that he’s learning things in school. We can always evolve with the technologies and methods of the future.” Gasko Jr. also has two sisters who play sports. Gasko Sr. said that he never really got into sports, but when he saw his son win the race, every-
thing changed. “It was probably the coolest thing that ever happened to me,” Gasko Sr. said. “I was so surprised how emotional I was. I never was into sports, but even I had to know that this was a special moment, so yeah, the emotions all started to come out.” Gasko Sr. wants Gasko Jr. to do what makes him happy, and to enjoy the moment of his accomplishments. “As a father, there’s nothing more that you want than your kids to be happy,” Gasko Sr. said. “I just tell him to enjoy this moment, and to have fun with it. That’s the most important thing.”

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Lisa Dobruskin
Obesity: A complex disease requiring complex treatment
Many people view weight gain as a cosmetic issue, but when it comes to the consequences and complications associated with obesity there is more than meets the eye. Obesity is a chronic disease that can have serious medical effects on your body. It has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and many other medical problems like sleep apnea. Treating obesity not only decreases the chance of developing obesity-related diseases, it can significantly improve or cure them. The Center for Bariatric Surgery & Metabolic Medicine at University Medical Center of Princeton offers patients with weight-related health concerns treatment options that range from comprehensive, medically supervised weight management to a complete array of weight-loss surgeries.
Old thinking The old thinking that a lack of will power is to blame for obesity is no longer considered valid in all cases, as experts have
determined that losing weight often is not as simple as pushing yourself away from the dinner table. In fact, science has proven that obesity is a complex disease that is influenced by chemical changes in your body that regulate weight and eating. At present, more than onethird of American adults have obesity, and if current trends continue, an estimated 50 percent of the U.S. population will be overweight or obese by the year 2030, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Like any other chronic disease, obesity needs to be treated with a comprehensive plan that may include a combination of medication, counseling, lifestyle changes and in some cases, surgery. A realistic approach Many people can lose weight with a variety of diets and gimmicks, but shortly thereafter they put the weight back on. And while there are limitless diet and exercise programs out there, the key is to find an
COMMUTER BUS SERVICE
approach that can stick for a lifetime. With that in mind, the first step to combatting obesity is to set a realistic weight-loss goal — perhaps losing a pound a week. Pursue that goal by: • Eating a high-protein, high-fiber diet while avoiding sugars and starches as much as possible. Because protein and fiber are more filling, they can help you eat less. • Tracking what you eat and eating on a regular schedule. Fitness apps make it easy to keep track of what, when and how much you eat. • Committing to at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. It doesn’t have to be vigorous exercise, even 10 minutes of walking, three times a day, can make a difference. • Additionally, while weight-loss medications have been controversial in the past because of side effects, there are now several, safe effective options. Surgical options Some people reach a point where they’ve
Lisa Dobruskin earnestly tried to change their exercise and eating habits and haven’t been able to successfully lose weight. At that point they may become a candidate for weight-loss surgery. In general, bariatric surgery reduces the size of the stomach, causing a person to eat less and feel full faster. The Center for Bariatric & Metabolic Medicine at UMCP offers all types of bariatric surgery, including: • Sleeve gastrectomy, a procedure in which the stomach is reduced to 25 to 30 percent of its original

size. The procedure, which has become one of the most frequently chosen in recent years, also alters the hormones that affect hunger. • Gastric bypass, which separates the stomach into two unequal compartments with less than 5 percent of the stomach remaining usable for food consumption. During digestion, the food empties from the tiny stomach pouch into the upper intestine. In addition to restricting the amount of food you can eat, gastric bypass also alters the hunger hormones and limits the amount of calories that are absorbed. • Lap-Band surgery, a procedure in which an inflatable band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, dividing it into two unequal parts. The upper part acts as the new stomach, restricting food intake and promoting weight loss. Most bariatric surgeries are performed using minimally invasive techniques, enabling patients to recover faster and reducing pain and scarring. To qualify for bariatric surgery, a patient must have a body mass index (BMI) of above 40, or a BMI of 35- to 39.9 and a disease caused by
obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or obstructive sleep apnea.
A little goes a long way Even a modest weightloss, such as 5 to 10 percent of your total body weight, is likely to have health benefits such as improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. If you are struggling with weight or obesity, talk with your doctor about weight-loss programs and options. And remember, obesity is a chronic disease, and like any chronic diseases the way to achieve successful remission is through longterm follow-up. To find a bariatric surgeon affiliated with Princeton HealthCare System, go to www.princetonhcs.org or call 888-742-7496.

Pam Hersh
Eldar Shafir on the effects scarcity
Memorial Day weekend followed by Princeton University reunions and graduation is a time when most Princeton residents rarely think about scarcity. Generally, the conversation under tents and in backyards is filled with groans about too much food, too much drink, too many people, too many cars, and too much stuff loaded into those cars. On the weekend of June 10, however, several Princetonians are going to be thinking a lot about scarcity, thanks to Princeton University Professor Eldar Shafir. Dr. Shafir — who is speaking at a Housing Initiatives of Princeton “Garden Party� benefit June 10 — is internationally renowned, along with his co-author Dr. Sendhil Mullainathan from Harvard University, for the 2013 book “Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much.� As a behavioral scientist whose main area of interest is behavioral economics and decision-making, Shafir will talk about the thesis of his book — the scarcity vicious cycle — and relate it to the mission of HIP. Individuals with a scarcity of funds fail to make smart decisions concerning their finances for a variety of cognitive reasons, including the lack of supportive resources, thus their lives spiral downward. It turns out that the work done by HIP could be a case study for Shafir’s academic work. Since 2004, the Housing Initiatives of Princeton has been helping to break that downward spiral for dozens of people by offering a holistic menu of services to those in dire financial circumstances. It is dedicated to transitioning low-income working families and individuals who are homeless or facing imminent homelessness to permanent housing and sustained self-sufficiency. The charitable non-profit does far more than place a temporary roof over one’s head.
The organization becomes a supportive resource for clients by providing individualized case management services to enhance life skills needed to attain self-sufficiency and permanent housing — and ultimately to succeed independently. “Most in Princeton have a comfortable life,� Shafir said. “We can afford to hire accountants, investment brokers, mortgage brokers, psychologists, attorneys to help make smart decisions about our well being. But there are those who are struggling with a scarcity of funds and do not have the support systems. The problems associated with poverty consume mental energy and capacity. Those struggling financially often make decisions that perpetuate and exacerbate poverty.� The concept of scarcity and smart decision-making applies to more than financial decisions, and thus everyone can relate to the premise of the book, regardless of his or her economic situation, noted HIP Interim Board Chair Carol Golden. The authors’ research and conclusions describe how scarcity creates a similar psychology for everyone struggling to manage with less than they need. Busy people fail to manage their time efficiently for the same reasons the poor and those maxed out on credit cards fail to manage their money. The dynamics of scarcity reveal why dieters find it hard to resist temptation, why students and busy executives mismanage their time. “The book is so significant, in my opinion, because it gives individuals who have no financial problems a real understanding as to why it is extremely difficult for people with great financial challenges to change their lives — unless they have access to outside help,� said Golden, a Princeton resident and attorney who volunteers her services as the full-
Eldar Shafir will discuss his book, “Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much� during the Housing Initiatives of Princeton’s “Garden Party� benefit on June 10. time chair of the organization, officially known as Housing Initiatives of Princeton Charitable Trust. Shafir further elaborated on his thesis in a research paper, “Poverty Impedes Cognitive Function,� published in the August 2013 issue of Science (written with Anandi Mani and Jiaying Zhao). According to the paper’s summary, the poor often behave in less capable ways, which can further perpetuate poverty. “We hypothesize that poverty directly impedes cognitive function and present two studies that test this hypothesis,� the authors wrote. “First, we experimentally induced thoughts about finances and found that this reduces cognitive performance among poor but not in well-off participants. Second, we examined the cognitive function of farmers over the planting cycle. We found that the same farmer shows diminished cognitive performance before harvest, when poor, as compared with after
harvest, when rich. “This cannot be explained by differences in time available, nutrition, or work effort. Nor can it be explained with stress: Although farmers do show more stress before harvest, that does not account for diminished cognitive performance. Instead, it appears that poverty itself reduces cognitive capacity. We suggest that this is because poverty-related concerns consume mental resources, leaving less for other tasks. These data provide a previously unexamined perspective and help explain a spectrum of behaviors among the poor.� As Princeton University Professor of Behavioral Science and Public Policy, Shafir also serves as the director (its inaugural director) of Princeton’s Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Science and Public Policy, and cofounder and scientific director at ideas42, a social science research and development lab. A $10 million anonymous gift created the Center for Be-
havioral Science and Public Policy at Princeton, enabling the university to strengthen its leading role in this emerging field and improve the development of effective policymaking. The donor, a Princeton University parent, was a longtime admirer of the work of Dr. Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel laureate, and a Princeton University professor of psychology and public affairs emeritus, and Dr. Anne Treisman, a Princeton University professor of psychology emerita. The center is building on the research that earned Kahneman the Nobel Prize in economic sciences in 2002. The award-winning work integrated insights from psychological research into economics, particularly concerning decision making under uncertainty. Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber said: “This generous gift will allow us to deepen and expand our efforts in an extremely promising area of teaching and research. . . . Princeton’s fac-
The
ulty members are applying behavioral science techniques to topics that include law, economics, health care, household finance and dispute resolution, Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber said. “We expect that the research conducted at the center will directly influence local, national and global public policy, identifying new approaches to address social problems and improve lives.� And HIP clients and supporters offer an abundance, not scarcity, of thanks for the academic work and research that will help HIP serve the community in the most effective manner possible.
The Housing Initiatives of Princeton will host its annual Garden Party, June 10, beginning at 4 p.m. at a private residence in Princeton. Admission costs $95 and features Shafir’s talk, cocktails and light fare. To register, go to www.housinginitiativesofprinceton.org.
