Prospective Westminster buyer has no higher ed experience By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The prospective buyer of Rider University’s Westminster Choir College is an Asian company with no experience in running a higher education institution, said a Westminster professor, based on what a high-ranking university official told him and others. Thomas Faracco, also announcing that he and other faculty will have a “teach-in” demonstration on campus next week, said Westminster College of the Arts dean Marshall Onofrio had three general information meetings last week with faculty, staff and administrators on campus to update

them on negotiations for the prospective partner, among other things. Faracco, who attended the Wednesday session, said Onofrio was asked about a report by a member of the Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College in Princeton, who speculated that a group of Asian visitors touring the Westminster campus last week were from the Guanghua Education Group, based in China. “And we asked Marshall if that was true, and he said it was not true,” Faracco said. “But he did say it was a Chinese company. And we asked him, then, have they had any experience running an educational institution, espe-

cially at the collegiate level. And he said no, but they had run K through twelve.” Faracco said faculty “were distressed” at Onofrio’s comments, and feel shut out of the process. They have not been told the name of the prospective buyer, something Rider has said is necessary to ensure the confidentiality of the process. “We, as a faculty, are united in that we feel like we have a right to know who this potential collaborator is with Westminster and that we’ve always made decisions as a faculty together,” Westminster professor Laura Brooks Rice said Tuesday. “And we just want to send that message, that we feel

like we need to be a part of the decision-making process and have a stakeholders place at the table.” Onofrio could not be reached for comment Tuesday, but Rider issued a statement Tuesday afternoon. “For many months now, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, the university has been working ceaselessly to find a successor to preserve the legacy of Westminster Choir College in Princeton,” Rider spokeswoman Kristine A. Brown said. “The board made the decision to pursue this process as the path most likely to result in a future for the Choir College.” “Further,” she said, “it is dispiriting that certain individuals

Lewis Center ‘A dream come true’ By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Shirley M. Tilghman rose from her seat Friday to take a bow of sorts inside Princeton University’s new arts center, a place she had the vision for more than a decade ago and then helped to realize. The crowd attending the dedication ceremony of the Lewis Center for the Arts complex gave her a round of applause for about half a minute, in tribute to the erstwhile university president who went back to teaching after leaving Nassau Hall in the summer of 2013. She rose, gave a wave of recognition and sat down for the program to continue. Tilghman sat a few rows behind from where Gov. Chris Christie was sitting. She had no entourage, no speaking role during the ceremony and no staffer hovering over her. In an interview afterward, she reflected on the project and how the seed for it got planted almost from the moment she became the 19th university president in 2001. “This is a dream come true,” she said. “I think it is historic. It’s a statement for the importance of the arts. It’s going to be a magnificent home for our students and faculty and for the community.” The Lewis Center project was part of transforming that end of

town, including a new train station, two new restaurants and traffic circulation improvements. “A little change in the neighborhood, won’t you say?” Tilghman would tell Mayor Liz Lempert after the ceremony was over. “If you remember back to what this corner looked like ten years ago, it wasn’t pretty,” Tilghman said. “And today, it is not just beautiful but it’s functional.” In the infancy of her administration, she was approached by students telling her how difficult it was to do the arts at Princeton, she recalled. “I can’t think of another area of this university where students were so adamantly concerned that their aspirations were not being met,” she said. “So literally two days into the job, I knew I had to pay some attention to the arts.” Tilghman, a scientist by training and a Canadian by birth, grew up around music and the performing arts. Her father moonlighted as a jazz pianist, while she played piano and guitar. “So the arts were part of my growing up,” she said. “And I did deeply believe that it feeds the soul.” The university would conceive of its arts and transit project, to include new campus buildings and a new train station, among other

and parties are working to undermine the goal of successfully transitioning the college to a new partner committed to keeping the institution in Princeton as a worldclass choir college and investing in its future. Actions contrary to this goal are harmful, and could potentially prevent achieving the objective of a strong and secure future for Westminster.” Westminster faculty will have a teach-in demonstration, scheduled to begin Monday at 9 a.m. and last into the early afternoon, Faracco said. “And what we’re demonstrating against is the fact that we are totally out of the picture with the See BUYER, Page 9

She said her father “loved Princeton, he loved pushing boundaries and he thrived on creativity.” “Our dad credited Princeton with cementing his drive for excellence,” she said. “He treasured his Staff photo by Philip Sean Curran involvement with Princeton because of Princeton’s unwavering dedication to excellence, which is Ivy Lewis, left, daughter of the late businessman Peter Lewis, spoke on reflected in this amazing complex, behalf of the Lewis family.

Candidates offer different remedies for property tax woes By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

In what was a prelude to their gubernatorial debate Tuesday, ambassador and former Goldman Sachs executive Phil Murphy and Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno went Friday before the state chapter of the AARP to offer different remedies for the state’s property tax woes, an issue both agreed was paramount in the minds of voters. Murphy, the front-running De-

mocrat ahead by double digits in a recent poll, and Guadagno, the Republican, appeared separately at a conference the organization had in the Princeton Marriott, to sit down with Ingrid Reed, formerly of the Eagleton Institute, for a talk-show style interview. In their remarks, they sought to touch on concerns people have about being able to continue living in a state with the highest property taxes in the country. “For too long, New Jerseyans

have been promised the moon and stars by any number of candidates for office, on both sides of the aisle, I might add, each coming up with their own special plan for property taxes,” Murphy said. He noted that the biggest portion of the property tax bill goes to fund public schools, despite the Christie administration under funding education by more than $9 billion “over the past eight years.” He has proposed fully funding education.

“Funding public schools and public education isn’t just about kids’ educations, it’s also about property tax relief,” he said. “Each dollar we put back into our public schools is a dollar we don’t have to ask for from property tax payers.” Guadagno said it is “still too expensive to live in New Jersey” and called property taxes the main issue in the campaign. She has proposed tying residents’ houseSee CANDIDATES, Page 8

Princeton woman struck, killed at busy intersection By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A 62-year-old Princeton woman was killed when she was struck by a cement truck as she was crossing Washington Road at its intersection with Nassau Street late Tuesday afternoon, according to the

Princeton Police Department. Leslie Goodrich Rubin, 62, who lived on Nassau Street in Princeton, was struck by the cement truck at 4:47 p.m. as the truck, which was traveling west on Nassau Street, was making a left turn onto

Washington Road, police said. Rubin was walking in the crosswalk when the accident occurred. She died at the scene, police said. The truck driver, 60year-old Ralph Allen of Tabernacle, was not injured.

Tuesday also marked national “Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day,” which is held every year on Oct. 10. The program encourages drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists to be extra cautious so there will not be a fatality on that day.

Meanwhile, the cause of the accident remains under investigation. The Princeton Police Department is asking that anyone who witnessed the accident to call Traffic Safety Bureau supervisor Sgt. Thomas Murray at 609921-2100, ext. 1879.

Private school teacher’s aide charged with sex crime By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

HEPATITIS There are several types of hepatitis, as well as plenty of ways in which to contract the disease. All hepatitis types share one common denominator: they all cause liver inflammation. Hepatitis A comes from ingesting contaminated water or food. Hepatitis B is an STD. Hepatitis C comes from blood-to-blood contact, and there are a few other forms, hepatitis D, E, G, and X, that have other causes. The first symptoms of hepatitis resemble flu symptoms: fever, fatigue, achiness, appetite loss, and belly pain. Urine may be dark, and stools may be pale. The skin might feel itchy and may become yellowish. Because hepatitis can be easily missed, check with the doctor whenever any of the above symptoms arise. To diagnose hepatitis, your doctor may press down gently on your abdomen to see if you have pain or tenderness. Your doctor may also feel for an enlarged liver. If your skin or eyes are yellow, it will be noted during the exam. To schedule an appointment, please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-921-8766. My practice is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton. Our website, www.drrober tplatzman.com, has more information about the practice. P.S. No matter which type of hepatitis is found, the doctor will likely perform a liver function test.

A 35-year-old teacher’s aide at a private school for children with special needs in Montgomery Township has been charged with criminal sexual contact, endangering the welfare of a child and

witness tampering, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office and the Montgomery Township Police Department. Daniel Fowler, 35, who lives on Princeton Pike in Lawrence Township, was charged after he allegedly

sexually assaulted a 17year-old student at the East Mountain School on County Route 601, said Somerset County Prosecutor Michael H. Robinson. The school is on the grounds of the Carrier Clinic. The incident was reported to the Montgomery

Township Police Department on Aug. 30. Police determined that Fowler had been communicating with the girl through a mobile app before sexually assaulting her. The communication between the student and Fowler was of a sexual na-

ture, police said. Fowler was arrested at his home without incident, with the help of the Lawrence Township Police Department. He was taken to the Somerset County Jail without bail, pending a detention hearing.

Plainsboro teen’s fall from Temple dorm ruled a suicide By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

The Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office has ruled that the death of a 19-year-old Plainsboro Township resident, who

fell from a sixth-floor window at his Temple University dormitory last week, was a suicide. Richard Dalcourt, who graduated from West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North in 2017, was

a freshman at the Philadelphia university. He was studying mechanical engineering. Dalcourt fell from the sixth-floor window around 10:30 a.m. Oct. 3. He was taken to Hahnemann Hos-

pital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North Principal Jonathan Dauber shared the information with school staff, and said

that support for staff and students would be available at school. “Please know that our thoughts are with the Dalcourt family at this time,” Dauber said.

Montgomery Democrats plan meet-and-greet event By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A candidate meet-andgreet for the Democratic Party candidates for Montgomery Township Committee and two county elected offices has been set for Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Otto Kaufman

Community Center at 356 Skillman Road in the Skillman section of the township. Voters can meet Sadaf Jaffer, the Democratic Party candidate for Township Committee, as well as Shanel Robinson and Alexander Allevan, who are running for election to

the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Democratic Party candidate Steve Peter, who is running for the office of Somerset County Clerk, also will be available. The four Democrats are running against David Cheskis, the Republican Party candidate for Town-

ship Committee, and Brian Gallagher and Brian Levine, who are running for the two seats on the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Somerset County Clerk Brett Radi, also a Republican, is seeking re-election. The Democrats’ meetand-greet session was

scheduled after the Republican Party candidates for Township Committee and the Freeholder board declined to take part in a candidate forum organized by the nonpartisan League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area. It had been scheduled for the same night.

Mayor Lempert criticizes Christie’s courting of Amazon By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Gov. Chris Christie wants Amazon to build its next headquarters in New Jersey, with the state Chamber of Commerce saying it would “welcome” the addition. But Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, whose premier retail-shopping district, Palmer Square, is beset by a noticeable string of vacancies, does not. Instead, she criticized the governor for offering tax breaks worth up to $5 billion to attract the company, and said Monday that that money would be better directed to helping small businesses. “I was frankly appalled when I saw that Chris Christie was trying to roll out the welcome mat for Amazon and offering tax breaks and other things for an entity like Amazon to come into New Jersey,” she said. “It’s like having one big company that is basically driving all the local merchants out of business and is probably the worst thing we can be doing.” Amazon, based out of Seattle, has said it is look-

ing to put its second headquarters in North America, in a more than $5 billion investment that would create “as many as fifty thousand high-paying jobs,” the company has said. “In addition to Amazon’s direct hiring and investment, construction and ongoing operation of Amazon HQ2 is expected to create tens of thousands of additional jobs and tens of billions of dollars in additional investment in the surrounding community,” the company said. Cities around the counPhoto by Philip Sean Curran try are vying to get Amazon Palmer Square, home to high-end stores and restaurants, to pick them, but Mayor has been stung with a string of vacancies.

centives would equal, if not exceed, the impact of a potential new Amazon location. We must not forget that these companies are the backbone of New Jersey’s economy and they create many of the new jobs here.” As shoppers turn to making purchases on the Internet, that has implications for retail stores. Palmer Square, home to high-end stores and restaurants, has been stung with a string of vacancies; one small stretch of Hulfish Street, starting at Witherspoon Street, is completely empty. “We recognize that the vacancy on Palmer Square is not typical for our center and is upsetting to residents and the entire downtown community,” said Lori Rabon, vice president of Palmer Square Management, in a statement this week. “Unfortunately,” she continued, “we had tenants leave in spring of 2016 for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which was the difficult environment faced by all retailers today. We are working diligently to fill the vacancies with tenants who will add to the vitality of Palmer

Square and downtown Princeton. Our new store, Nic + Zoe will be opening in two weeks and we hope everyone will give them a warm Princeton welcome.” “We do talk with Palmer Square, and they know that we’ve offered whatever the municipality can do for assistance,” Mayor Lempert said. “Part of the issue is that there are national trends that we’re not immune to.” For her part, Mayor Lempert offered the town can make its “regulatory” process “easier in terms of not putting up roadblocks that don’t need to be there.” She said the town is in the midst of a parking study focused on economic development. “We’ve also talked about how can the town act as a facilitator, catalyst, for helping with promoting the town or other things like that,” she said. Yet while towns around the country bend over backward to recruit Amazon, Mayor Lempert won’t be one of them — proudly so. “So we need to think about what the future looks like,” she said. “And I hope it doesn’t look like an Amazon factory.”

West Windsor Township joins the list of Amazon suitors By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

West Windsor Township has joined the growing list of suitors seeking to convince Amazon that it should locate its second national headquarters in their community. With the support of West Windsor Township Council, Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh has reached out to Amazon’s Office of Economic Development with offers to host the company’s new headquarters on one of two sites - the SRI International site or the Howard Hughes Corp. property. The 250-acre SRI International site is located on the grounds of the former David Sarnoff Research Center on Route 1 near Washington Road. The Howard Hughes Corp. property is 653 acres

and is located on Route 1 at Quakerbridge Road. There are vacant buildings on the property, left over from its former use by the American Cyanamid Co. The site could accommodate a 500,000-square-foot building, as well as up to 8 million square feet. If Amazon is interested in pursuing a new headquarters in West Windsor Township, the entire process from conceptual site plan review to Planning Board approval and the crafting of a developer’s agreement could take place in about 15 months, township officials said. In a Sept. 26 letter to Amazon, Mayor Hsueh wrote that the corporate owners of both properties “have expressed interest in your endeavor.” The Howard Hughes Corp. has been attempting to develop

the site for years. “There is strong local, regional and state unity for this development,” Mayor Hsueh wrote. Township Council has adopted a resolution in support of it. There is support from Mercer County, the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce and the State of New Jersey. Mayor Hsueh wrote that both sites are less than 50 minutes away by car or train to the Newark and Philadelphia airports. They are both near the Princeton Junction Train Station on the Northeast Corridor rail line, providing direct access to New York City and Washington, D.C. The two parcels are located on Route 1, and there is access to mass transit onsite. Amazon’s preference is for its headquarters to be located close to major high-

ways and streets, and for access to mass transportation. The mayor also pointed out that Princeton, Rutgers and Rider universities and The College of New Jersey are close by. West Windsor Township attracts a highly educated population. More than 75 percent of residents hold bachelor’s degrees and nearly half hold graduate degrees, he wrote. “West Windsor is char-

acterized by the attributes that Amazon values,” Mayor Hsueh wrote. “For example, in excess of 4 million people live within a 30mile radius of these sites. The township has a stable and business-friendly environment and has maintained a Triple A bond rating since 2007.” West Windsor Township officials pointed out the availability of housing in all price ranges, including units

designated as affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households. There is a supply of homes to be purchased, as well as rental apartments. Mayor Hsueh acknowledged that Amazon would likely receive “dozens, if not hundreds” of responses to its request for proposals from cities and towns, and many may express compelling reasons to choose them.

STATE WE’RE IN

Millspaugh a conservation trailblazer By Michele S. Byers

The year was 2002, and New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s board of trustees faced a tough decision. The owner of a nearly 10,000-acre cranberry farm in the Pine Barrens was getting out of the business. He wanted to know if NJ Conservation would buy his property for $12.5 million and turn it into a nature preserve. The opportunity was incredible. The land was surrounded on almost all sides by public forest and parkland, and this 10,000 acres was referred to as both the “hole in the doughnut” and “the heart of the Pine Barrens.” But the board was divided over the daunting prospect of raising so much money, which could potentially detract from land preservation efforts elsewhere in the state. That’s when Gordon “Sandy” Millspaugh spoke up and reminded his fellow trustees of the organization’s core mission to preserve land and natural resources throughout the Garden State. “If we don’t do it, what are we here for?” he asked. That clinched the vote, and the rest is history. The property is now known as the Franklin Parker Preserve - named for the first chairman of the state Pinelands Commission - and it’s a true ecological treasure in the heart of the Pine Barrens. It is home to many rare plants and animals, and researchers from around the world have conducted scientific studies there. It has 27 miles of trails, including a section of the popular Batona Trail, and two wildlife observation platforms from which bald eagles can often be spotted. Without Sandy Millspaugh’s voice of reason and responsibility, this amazing public preserve might not exist today. Sandy passed away on Sept. 12 at the age of 83. He was a champion of land conservation, the environment, and humanity. He was known for his intelligence, integrity, kindness and generosity. Sandy was a tax and estate attorney and devoted a substantial amount of his time to nonprofit and charitable organizations. He was a trustee at the Victoria Foundation, a Newark-based philanthropic organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in need, protecting water resources and preserving open space. He was a board member at New Jersey Conservation Foundation for over 20 years, including two terms as president and several years as honorary trustee. He was instrumental in establishing the Red Oak Society to promote planned giving. He served for two decades as trustee and counsel to the Upper Raritan Watershed Association (now Raritan Headwaters), where he conducted a feasibility study on protecting land through conservation easements. Easements allow conservation organizations to acquire and extinguish development rights on designated properties, without purchasing the land itself. Sandy is already deeply missed, but those of us lucky enough to know him will never forget him. May Sandy’s life inspire others to become kind-hearted and generous conservation trailblazers, too.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Deadline approaching for voter registration To the editor: The election for District 16 and all state candidates is on Nov. 7 but the deadline for registration is Oct. 17. With past low voter turnouts in Princeton and elsewhere it is important for people to vote and not take anything for granted, as we learned in last year’s presidential election. Overconfidence that your candidate will win, even without your vote, can be a recipe for gross disappointment and worse. If you are a citizen in Princeton and are not registered, you can go to the Clerk’s Office in Town Hall on Witherspoon Street weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Other towns likely have the same process.) It takes about five minutes to complete and sign the form which can be handed to someone in the clerk’s office or mailed to Trenton yourself. You can also obtain an absentee ballot at the same clerk’s office or call the Mercer County Clerk’s office (609) 9896465 for these forms. Since redistricting about seven years ago, Princeton is now a minority within the larger 16th state district, which includes Hunterdon and Somerset counties. We are fortunate to have some very good incumbent candidates in Republican Sen. Kip Bateman and Democrat Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, as well as new Assembly Democrat candidate Roy Freiman, who has a strong economic business background, much needed now. Sadly, I cannot say the same of Assembly candidate Donna Simon. In her previous brief tenure in the state Assembly (since replaced by Assemblyman Zwicker) she pretty much went along and voted for Gov. Christie’s misguided policies including, for example, the scheme to import toxic fracking waste from other states to New Jersey, the state with the highest number of Superfund hazardous waste sites in the nation. She has also been a strong NRA supporter. Even at the gubernatorial level there are several splinter party candidates who could throw the election to an unintended candidate if enough people don’t take the time to vote. Voting should be a citizen priority as a right and privilege. It also gives you the right to complain if the results are not to your liking.

An event that can only happen in a town like Princeton, the expo draws science enthusiasts from industry as well as academia, parents as well as community members, into the school for one full day of action. Classes rotate through the school, so that each child participates in at least a dozen 20-minute engaging presentations. The goal is simply to wow kids with science, so they can imagine a future for themselves in this intriguing world. And they do. Jenny is the willing coordinator of this massive project, eager to work with teachers and parents to make it happen. Pouring her time and energy into this project, literally for weeks and months every spring, a perfectly orchestrated color-coded schedule is generated for this one day in May that rivals many airport timetables. Scientists expect her to pull it off, teachers know she will make it happen, and principals trust her to lead the day. Every year that we’ve participated in the expo, we’ve walked away with a profound sense of respect for the school’s daily work, but also the knowledge that science is loved and respected here. And we who have seen her in the trenches know that this would not happen if it were not for Jenny’s efforts, organization, and determination. Jenny’s long-time commitment to running the Science Expo underscores her view that the future of our community will depend on children that don’t just score well on science tests, memorize facts, or do hours of homework, but on developing children’s sense of wonder and scientific thought. We can see this in every initiative she develops and cultivates, from sustainability efforts - not just in the schools but throughout the community - running the Littlebrook Garden Club, and otherwise speaking out for scientific awareness in the general public. We believe that with her collaborative approach, fierce determination, and sheer grit, Jenny will be a hands-on and effective board member. Furthermore, with her background in scientific research and analysis, she pledges to thoroughly research and review options so that sound, evidence-based decisions can be made. Please consider Jenny Ludmer when you vote on Nov. 7, and in the meantime, check out her website, LudmerForBOE.org.

Support the candidates who understand value of science

We need to demand diplomacy, not war

To the editor: As scientists and scientific enthusiasts, we are well aware of recent national trends which disregard science and abuse rational thought. Thus, we feel it’s necessary to support candidates who understand and value science in our society, and will undoubtedly support scientific education. This is why we are backing Jenny Ludmer, a former scientific analyst and writer, for the board of education. One day a year at Littlebrook Elementary, we’ve seen fascinating things happen. Bees, lasers, bubbles, and goats descend upon the school. It’s not uncommon to hear loud chemistry explosions or see marshmallow peeps expand, while words like “central limit theorem” and “bionic eye” come drifting into the halls. For several years, Jenny has demonstrated her passion for scientific education by organizing this inspiring annual event at Littlebrook Elementary, known simply as the Science Expo.

GUEST OPINION

To the editor: Republican Senator Bob Corker, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has warned that Donald Trump’s reckless threats have us on a path to World War III. This is a very real danger, as our president’s behavior could cause war, even nuclear war, by miscalculation. Escalating threats and war games, like the U.S. continues to conduct, could easily trigger a nuclear holocaust. We need to demand diplomacy, not war. Diplomacy has worked with the North Koreans before: a top nuclear expert calculates that a 1994 agreement verifiably prevented up to 1,000 additional nuclear warheads being added to their arsenal. In addition, we must urgently press our elected representatives to co-sponsor the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act in Congress, which would prevent the U.S. president from using nuclear weapons without a declaration of war specifically authorizing See LETTERS, Page 5

America, the land of grim opportunity

You’ve heard it before: America is the land of opportunity. But what kind of opportunity are we talking about? The United States doesn’t have the world’s highest income per capita. Americans can’t look forward to the longest life-expectancy (we’re not even in the top 30 nations). Work all you want but don’t expect any vacation time; American employers allot the least paid vacation days in the world. There is one opportunity afforded our citizens with which no other country can compete: in America you can be blown away by the firearm of you or your murderer’s choice. It’s all in keeping with our traditions of equal opportunity and non-discrimination.

Our big mass-shootings place America’s abundant opportunity in bold relief, but the quiet daily trickle of gun-deaths is where the real numbers add up. Every day in America:

— 46 children and teens are shot. — Six of those children or teens die from gunshots: four are murdered, two commit suicide. — 315 people of all ages are shot in murders, assaults, suicides, suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, and police intervention. — 93 people of all ages die from gun violence: 32 are murdered; 58 die by suicide; one will be killed unintentionally; one will be killed by legal intervention; and one will die where the intent remains unknown. In one year in America: — 114,994 people are shot in murders, assaults, suicides and suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, and police intervention. — 33,880 people die from gun violence. That’s right, we plant more than 30,000 American citizens in the ground every year due to gun violence. Picture Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, on an average summer evening. Look around the stadium at the fans in their seats — that’s roughly the same number of people killed with guns in just one year’s time in America. Here’s another way to get your mind around that kill tally: during America’s involvement in the Vietnam conflict over a span of 20 years, 58,318 soldiers were killed. Two average years in the Land of Opportunity will claim more KIAs than two decades of war against a fiercely committed enemy. All countries have mentally ill people; only America sees fit to arm them. There are guns in just about every nation; only America makes purchasing them easier than buying a six-pack of beer. We have the highest number of firearms per capita in the world. Among developed countries, Americans are 10 times more likely to be murdered with guns, according to a study published in The American Journal of Medicine. Now that’s opportunity.

That critical restraint on the current profoundly anti-democratic command and control in which the president can use nukes without any checks is urgently needed to prevent nuclear holocaust. Readers wanting to support such urgent measures are encouraged to visit peacecoalition.org or call (609) 924-5022. A slogan from previous successful efforts to reduce nuclear weapons remains relevant: Better active today than radioactive tomorrow. The Rev. Robert Moore Executive director Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action

Zwicker deserves to be re-elected To the editor: I write to lend my enthusiastic support to Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, who is running for re-election to New Jersey’s 16th Legislative District. Andrew has been an outstanding representative. A physicist at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, named by The American Association of Physics Teachers as one of the country’s top 75 Leading Contributors to physics education, Andrew is also experienced in business operations. Recently, teaming with tech sector leaders, he helped spearhead a novel public-private partnership focused on developing green energy. In the Assembly, Andrew has had more than a dozen bills signed into law and is a sponsor of many more, including those supporting young farmers, low-income home energy assistance, air-pollution control, and voter privacy. As a former mayor (Princeton Township), and council president (Princeton), I am familiar with the qualities necessary for those seeking elective office and Andrew has those qualities in abundance. While his opponents have embraced the regressive policies of the Chris Christie wing of the Republican party, Andrew has provided a voice in the Assembly for the middle class, and for better jobs, education and housing opportunities for all of

the residents of our great state. I urge you to vote on Nov. 7 to re-elect Andrew Zwicker. Bernie Miller Princeton

Ramirez a passionate advocate for public schools To the editor: I write to strongly endorse Julie Ramirez, a candidate for Princeton’s Board of Education. I have known Julie and her family for 10 years and am certain that she will do an exceptional job if elected to the school board. With four children at Johnson Park, John Witherspoon and Princeton High School, Julie knows our district well, is a passionate advocate for our public schools, and understands that job number one is to make sure that our children receive the highest quality education possible in an environment that gives every child, from all backgrounds, the opportunity to learn, grow and realize their full potential. Julie also understands that we need to do this in a financially responsible manner. As a seven-year member of Princeton’s Citizen’s Finance Advisory Committee, I know how important it is to our residents to have great services AND keep tax increases as modest as possible. The school district has a large, complex budget and, with a growing student body and insufficient space in almost every building, the school board faces historic challenges related to physical expansion, capital spending and long-term operational budgeting. With her successful 20-year career in finance and project management in the private sector, Julie has a unique background and skill set that makes her particularly well qualified to serve on the board. Our children deserve the best education we can afford and our taxpayers deserve elected representatives like Julie who bring professional expertise to the board, and who will preserve our schools’ excellence in the most efficient, responsible way. I strongly encourage you to join me in voting for Julie Ramirez (ballot position #5) for Board of Education on Nov. 7. Brian McDonald Princeton

Volunteers needed for AARP program AARP Foundation TaxAide is looking to expand its team of volunteers in the Mercer County area for the upcoming tax season. Soon approaching its 50th year, Tax-Aide offers free tax filing help to anyone, especially those 50 and older, who can’t afford a tax preparation service. TaxAide volunteers make a difference in their communities by assisting many older, lower-income individuals who might otherwise miss out on the credits and deductions for which they are eligible. Tax-Aide volunteers receive training and support in a welcoming environment. There is need for volunteer tax preparers, greeters, and interpreters. Volunteer tax preparers are required to complete tax preparation training and IRS certification in classes held on weekdays. AARP Foundation TaxAide has grown remarkably since its inaugural team of just four volunteers in 1968. The program now involves nearly 35,000 volunteers and serves 2.5 million clients annually at some 5,000 sites nationwide with free tax help. We have 12 sites in Mercer County. You do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use or volunteer in this program. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in coordination with the IRS. To learn more visit www.aarpfoundation.org/ta xaide. If interested, contact Carol 609-252-1167.

hold income to what they pay in property taxes. “You should never pay more than five percent of your household income for your school property taxes,� she said. In her remarks, she pivoted to portray Murphy as a candidate who has “promised to raise your taxes,� including hiking the sales, income and property taxes and reinstate the estate tax. “He’s made promises that he can’t keep,� she said of $75 billion of additional entitlements, including free community college and universal health care. In their remarks, Guadagno and Murphy sought to transcend party labels. “I’m not partisan for the sake of being partisan,� he said. “And it must be said, certain crises we face as a state began a long time ago, long before this administration.� Guadagno, the standard

bearer for a party with Gov. Chris Christie having low job approval ratings, urged the audience to “set aside your party affiliation for just one minute.� “This campaign is not about Washington D.C., this campaign is not about who’s the governor today,� she said. “This campaign is, quite frankly, about your pocket books.� She differed with Christie over his veto, earlier this year, of a plan to end the state Department of Treasury’s control of the police and firefighters pension fund. Murphy also touched on public employee pensions. “We have no choice but to stand up and meet our obligations,� he said of funding them. “We have to get there as fast as humanely possible because there’s no other choice. We’ve left public sector employees and retirees at the altar, now, for essentially twenty years.�

The thenPrinceton Borough Council — several members of whom attended Friday’s dedication — narrowly approved the zoning changes the university had sought for the project, in 2011. “The only debate was about where the train would

be, there was no other debate,� said current Council President Jenny Crumiller, who voted six years ago against the zoning change. “I’m very happy that this is open and that the community can now heal,� said Kevin Wilkes, a former borough councilman. “I think that there was mostly enthusiastic support for an arts complex,� said Mayor Liz Lempert, formerly of the township committee, “and the controversy was more surrounding the Dinky.�

Mayor keeping an eye on school board race, but staying neutral By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Mayor Liz Lempert is keeping an eye on the race for Princeton school board, but don’t expect her to say anytime soon which of the six candidates she is backing. She is taking a publicly neutral stance, to avoid making herself a “distraction for someone’s campaign,� in her words Monday. “I just feel that there’s a lot of strong candidates this time,� she told reporters, “and sometimes I found, in the past, that when I throw my support behind somebody, it can create a distraction.� Technically, the munic-

ipal government and the school board are separate. But that didn’t stop the mayor and council members from recently opposing the enrollment expansion of the Princeton Charter School. Mayor Lempert also is part of the same social and political network of people involved in the school board. When she ran for re-election in 2016, four sitting school board members at the time — Molly Chrein, Andrea Spalla, Fern Spruill and Patrick Sullivan — signed onto an advertisement, in a local paper, endorsing her. “I feel like the focus should be on the school board race,� Mayor Lempert said in adding she

won’t make a “public announcement� of whom supports. “What I care about is, number one, is my own, personal vote that I’m casting as a voter,� she said when reminded of her attendance at last week’s candidates’ forum. “And number two, I think, showing the importance of this race and what people are saying to the community. So I have fully thrown my support behind the fact that this is a contested race and that we have a lot of great candidates.� In all, six people are running for three seats: Beth Behrend, Jess Deutsch, James Fields, Jenny Ludmer, Julie Ramirez and former Princeton Township

Mayor Michele Tuck-Ponder. At last week’s forum, the candidates reacted to town officials’ involvement in school district policies, like with them taking a position on the charter school. Ludmer said she thought it important for school officials to work with the town but “not feel, like, bullied by them or not feel like they are in charge because, ultimately, it is still our schools and our students and our tax dollars that we have to protect.� Behrend said at one point that “I don’t understand how you make sensible, long-term planning for the schools without working hand-in-hand with the municipality.

buyer is. Rider intends to complete the deal before the end of the current fiscal year, but a federal lawsuit, brought by Westminster parents and others seeking to block the sale, could complicate the transaction. “With pressure mounting, with uncertainty escalating for faculty and students alike, with a total lack of transparency concerning the facts about the buyer, this communication

from the faculty is not only understandable, it is welcomed by all of us who cherish Westminster Choir College,� said Constance Fee, president of the Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College in Princeton, by email. “Faculty, students, and parents are now at the point where deadlines are looming and decisions about where they will be a year from now must be made. We are being asked

to trust those who are withholding information and who have repeatedly proven themselves to be untrustworthy.� Based on the faculty contract, Rider has until the end of October to notify Westminster professors if they will not be brought back for the next academic year. “It has been told to us that we should expect, because of that clause, that all

President (Gregory) Dell’Omo recognize their obligation and responsibility to steward Rider University as a whole,� Brown said. “The steps being taken will best benefit the university and Westminster.

REPLACEMENT TEETH Once the average American adult has reached age 50, he or she has lost 12 permanent teeth to decay, injury, or gum disease. It is important that these missing teeth be replaced so that the bite will not be altered and the jawbone will not weaken. In order to address all these potential adverse consequences of tooth loss, it is important to restore full function to the mouth and jaws. To this end, a dental implant is the preferred option for replacing a single lost tooth. When screwed into place in the jaw, a titanium implant acts as a replacement for the tooth root to which a porcelain crown can subsequently be attached. Implants look and feel natural. Implants eliminate the day-to-day frustrations and discomfort of ill-fitting dentures. They allow people

WHAT’S UP

Hare, PHS gearing for championship season

RESULTS

By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Princeton U football The Princeton University football team improved to 31 on the season with a 50-30 victory over Georgetown last Saturday at Princeton Stadium. Chad Kanoff threw for 313 yards and four touchdowns for the Tigers in their final non-league game of the season. Jesper Horsted caught nine passes foe 112 yards and a touchdown, while Charlie Volker and Ryan Quigley each ran for a touchdown

SCT soccer The Montgomery High boys’ soccer team was eliminated from the Somerset County Tournament with a 43 loss to Bound Brook last Saturday. Jace Orvos scored two goals and Tony VicenteBailon hit on a goal for the sixth-seeded Cougars. The 12th-seeded Montgomery girls’ soccer team was eliminated from the SCT with a 1-0 loss to fifth-seeded Franklin last Saturday. Alison Walsh made eight saves in goal in the loss for the Cougars.

The biggest meets of the season are still down the road, but the Princeton High boys’ cross-country team is already showing signs of again being a title contender. With the Mercer County Championship meet set for Oct. 20, the Little Tigers showed they have the ability to make a run at successfully defending their title when they finished first in the C Division race at the Shore Coaches Invitational last Saturday at Holmdel Park. “It is a good measuring stick of where you are,” said Princeton senior Will Hare, who won the C Division race in 16:11. “We were third in the merge (all eight division results combined). Outside of some of the guys we didn’t put together a great race. It was good to get out there and compete. I think overall the guys were pleased with how we ran.” Hare first-place finish in the C Division race resulted in the third fastest time of the day on the course. Princeton teammates Alex Ackerman finished fourth (16:57) and Nicholas Delaney was fifth

(16:59), while Jackson Donahue was 11th in 17:13 and Tucker Zullo finished 14th in 17:18. Hare, Ackerman, Delaney and Donahue were part of the lineup that raced to Mercer County, sectional and state championships on the way to winning the Meet of Champions. in 2016 This year Zullo, a junior, has taken a big step forward and is in the top-five mix. “Tucker Zullo stepped up,” Hare said. “He was our No. 5. I was telling everyone he was going to step up and do well and no one was buying it, Now now he goes and runs low 17s and people are starting to notice. Over the summer Tucker texted me and said ‘I have been doing 45 miles a week.’ It is July 5 and I am still at 30. So I thought it he sticks with this through the summer we’ll have a serious No. 5 on our hands. “All of a sudden it is starting to play off. He is starting to scratch the surface of what he is capable of doing. He’s never been in those big postseason meets. So getting him into Shore Coaches and now doing Manhattan this weekend, he is only going to get better and better. The more he gets the experi-

ence in the big fields it is only going to help him.” Hare cruised to his win in the C Division race last weekend. He finished 23 seconds ahead of Dan Gizzo of Seton Hall Prep. “I was in a race with a kid from Brick and he dropped out after the first mile,” Hare said. “It was too hot out there to be trying to push for a fast time, so I decided to shut it down the last mile and make sure I was ready for the rest of the season. We’re not in it to run great at Shore Coaches. We’re in it to run great the rest of the season.“ Princeton certainly looks like a team capable of doing that based on how well they have run at Shore Coaches and the Bowdoin Invitational already this year. The Little Tigers suffered their first dual meet loss of the season on Tuesday when they fell to West Windsor-Plainsboro South, 25-34. But for now, what really matters is the championship season, which kicks off with the Mercer County meet on Oct. 20 at Thompson Park in Jamesburg. “Team titles are decided in the 10-30 and 10-40 finishes,” Hare said. “That is where we have the opportunity this year. Instead of

guys placing in the mid 20s, we’ll have guys in the low teens. I think that is what we are capable of. Everyone is taking a big step forward. “The competition is strong again this year. South is good. The Hopewell guys are running well, which is awesome. We’re good friends with them. We room together at camp and we talk with them all the time. It’s awesome they’re running well and awesome that we are running well.” The Princeton girls finished fourth in the Varsity B race at Shore Coaches. Chloe Taylor led the way when she finished 13th individually in 20:08. Charlotte Gilmore finished 23rd and Siena Moran was 31st. The Montgomery boys were 11th in the Varsity B race. Senior Harry Gould finished 19th to lead the Cougars. The Montgomery girls were 15th in the Varsity A race. Julia Hans finished 14th to lead the Cougars. The Princeton Day School boys competed in the Varsity G race and finished ninth as a team. Kevin Dougherty finished 26th individually to lead the Panther finishers.

State tennis Montgomery High’s Alex Mednikova was eliminated from the state singles tennis tournament with a 6-3, 6-3 second-round loss to Kinnelon’s Britney Lau. Mednikova had opened the tournament with a 6-0, 6-0 decision over Jessie Resurreccion of Marist. Spencer Watts of Princeton also reached the second round before falling to McAllan, 6-2, 6-0. Watts had upset Mainland’s Meena Mandalapu, a 17-32 seed, in the opening round, 6-4, 4-6, 10-4 In the state doubles tournament, Princeton’s Caroline Tan and Denise Yang opened with a 6-2, 6-3 triumph over the team from Ramsey. The Montgomery duo of Amy Yan and Allie Yan received an opening-round bye.

Papa, Cougars are optimistic after first victory By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Grant Papa has seen the Montgomery High football team battle back from adversity before. And the optimistic side of the senior linebacker sees last Friday’s 21-0 Homecoming Day victory over Plainfield as a step in the right direction for a season that still has its share of promise. The Cougars started the season 0-4, including a 50-0 loss to Bridgewater-Raritan a week earlier, before Montgomery bounced back for the triumph against Plainfield. “The coaches have talked about it and now that we have this first win so we can have the confidence and momentum going into next week against Warren Hills,” said Papa, who leads Montgomery with 58 tackles this season. “We hope to use this momentum from this win to help propel us to another win. If we can win, we can rise up. “We may have been 0-4, but we got the win against Plainfield

and then if we can take it to Warren Hills, we can be back in that playoff race. We just have to push it through. Two years ago we were 1-4 and we won three straight.” With a young roster and more than its share of injuries, the first half of the season has been a struggle for Montgomery. The Cougars had been outscored, 16249, in their first four games before putting all together in the game against Plainfield. “We needed one, especially on Homecoming,” Montgomery coach Zoran Milich said. “Hopefully we can build from here.” Damion Bland, who had missed the prior two games with a concussion, rushed for 82 yards and scored all three touchdowns for the Cougars. Papa also came through with a big defensive play in the game. “He has been our best linebacker and most consistent defensive player,” Milich said of Papa. “He created some turnovers. We threw an interception that looked like it was really going to hurt us and on the next play he caused a

fumble. He actually caused a couple of fumbles that were pretty key in the game. “The first one was huge because we were up, 7-0, and then threw the interception. But he comes back on the next play and times it right and forces a key fumble.” The victory helped Montgomery get to 1-4 on the season with a game at Warren Hills this week before home games against Phillipsburg and Immaculata. “It was a huge weight off our shoulders,” Papa said. “We came in definitely expecting to win at least one of the first four games. Unfortunately, we were not able to do that. It all came together on Friday against Plainfield. We had some struggles on offense and we used three different quarterbacks. But in the end it all came together.” The Plainfield game is always a special one for Papa. As a sophomore he got his first start against the Cardinals in a game that the Cougars won, 29-27. “It is kind of funny because as

a sophomore I got my first start against Plainfield because of some injuries to the guys ahead of me,” Papa recalled. “For some reason Plainfield is a team I have my best games against. Sophomore year, in my first start, I had two interceptions and one was for a pick six. That speaks as a whole for what I have had to do come back from a torn ACL freshman year. It came to a time five games into the season my sophomore year where we had lost six defensive starters. The next week they were throwing a sophomore coming off a pretty serious knee injury right into the fire and now I have started 20 games in a row. “There is a kid now, Kevin O’Brien, and he had a great game this week with 13 tackles. This was his third start and he is a sophomore. He has been able to pull it together like I did sophomore year. I think it speaks to our next man up mentality. We have battled through injuries and it shows how hard we work as a team and coaching staff.” See COUGARS, Page 11

PHS field hockey overcomes slow start By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The Princeton High field hockey team wasn’t going to let a slow start define its season. The Little Tigers started the season 1-3-1, but over the last three weeks, they have turned their season around and improved to 75-2 with a 3-1 victory over Ewing on Wednesday. “At the beginning we were losing a lot but then we came back, we set our tone, we changed how we practiced and it turned us

around and made us a team,” said junior Isabel Kinney, who has four goals this season for the Little Tigers. “We have been playing very well lately. We have played well against a lot of good competitors.” Princeton has lost just twice since falling to Notre Dame on Sept. 19. Those losses have come against Lawrenceville and Allentown, who are the top two seeds in the Mercer County Tournament. “We lost a lot of seniors,” Kinney said. “I think

we lost nine seniors from last year. So there are a lot of new faces. It has really been cool building the team and creating this whole new tone. It has been a whole new season. It has been a good season and a lot of fun with the team.” Princeton earned the No. 6 seed for the MCT and will open play on Saturday against 11th-seeded Stuart Country Day School. In its victory over Ewing, Mariana Lopez-Ona scored a pair of goals and Renee Hoevers score a goal to back the goalkeeping of Kate

Rogers, who made three saves. “We’re really looking forward to it,” Kinney said of the MCT. “It should be really good. There are a lot of good teams. If we keep playing like we’re playing I really think we can come out and do well. “We go into practice and we say we’re going to practice how we play. By setting that tone and coming onto the field starting right off the bat with intensity it really changes the tone.” The Little Tigers played Lawrence to a scoreless tie

on Monday. Since a 6-0 loss to Lawrenceville on Sept. 29, Princeton has allowed just three goals, two of which came in a 2-1 loss to Allentown. In the scoreless tie with Lawrence, the Little Tigers had plenty of chances to come away with a win, but fell just short. “It was really back and forth,” Kinney said. “When we get into overtime we don’t have a lot of people on the field, so we really rely on each other to get the ball down there. It becomes much more of a back and forth game.”

Princeton couldn’t score in the overtime, but bounced back with the win over Ewing. Kinney is hoping the way the team has played over the last three weeks is the way they can play the rest of the season. “I love field hockey and I know the entire team, we just love the sport,” Kinney said. “We practice so hard every day and we come out here and we play as a team. It has been a really good season with everyone having a good attitude about it.”

tough overtime losses, but everyone is still fighting hard and I think we are connecting well as a team,” said Glancey, who had a pair of assists in the victory on Wednesday. “We have been close against some tough teams. “I think, especially this year, our mentality is really important. Our mental toughness and staying engaged in the game and knowing every play matters. I think we have been doing better with that throughout the season. It’s still not as good as we could get it. I want to make sure

we’re all giving it our all every time.” Sarah Cudmore, Abby Halder, Palmer McNally, Kira Pancha and Sophia Van Mol each scored goals in the decision over Pennsauken. The victory was a nice bounce back after losing a tough, 1-0, decision to Franklin last Saturday in the Somerset County Tournament. “We had a tough beginning of the season with our schedule,” said Montgomery coach Jen Elgin, whose team will host Hillsborough on Tuesday. “We played some powerhouses.

Coming from last year to this year we have been in every single game. Even the ones we are losing we have had opportunities to put it away but unfortunately we just couldn’t finish. “(The SCT game against Franklin) was a very hardfought battle and the game could have gone either way.” Glancey, who has been with the varsity since she was a freshman, has seen progress on the field. She also can see a bright future for the Cougars, who have a wealth of young talent on the team.

“There are a lot of really good underclassmen coming up that are ready to take leadership positions,” Glancey said. “I think that we have been building and it is better off than when we got here. “I would really like to see some wins. We have been playing really well and sometimes it hasn’t been translated onto the scoreboard. I really want to see us finish our opportunities and win some games and finish strong.” The Cougar seniors are doing their best to see the season end well. They’d like to leave the program in

a good situation as the team looks to the future. “These were my freshmen my first year in the program,” said Elgin, who is in her second season as the Montgomery head coach after two years as an assistant. “Just watching them grow has been such a pleasure. They have helped change the program for the better.” Glancey, like her classmates, will hate to see the season end. And she’s hoping the Cougars can finish strong this season. Six of Montgomery’s nine losses this year have been by two goals or less.

Milich said. “Guys are going at it and we are getting better. It might not always show with the score. Against Bridgewater, any mistake we could make we made it. To come back after our worst loss in years and rebound the way we did shows how hard the guys

worked. The kids battle and some of the younger guys are getting more experience and making less mistakes.” Papa is in his final season at Montgomery, but he hopes he and his classmates are laying the groundwork for future success for the program.

“We had 36 or 37 freshmen come out for the team this year, so for the future we’re looking at good numbers,” Papa said. “Depth is a strength we have as a team. We’ve talked as a senior class about how we can still salvage the season. We have some winnable games.

But we have to take care of Warren Hills first. “People might look at our record and say at 1-4 there is not much of a chance for the playoffs. But we come in every day and give it as much effort as we did first day of practice in August. We are still work-

ing hard and the coaches are still working at it. One of the biggest things Coach Milich talks about is what do you want your legacy to be? When we leave we want to know we took take care of business. Can we be the class that turns it around and makes the playoffs?”

Glancey, MHS seniors hope for strong finish By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Charlotte Glancey and her fellow seniors on the Montgomery High girls’ soccer team are doing their best to help rebuild the program. The Cougars, who were 2-15 a year ago, picked up their third victory of this season when they topped Pennsauken, 5-0, on Wednesday. And while a 39-1 record isn’t what the team had hoped for at this point in the season, they can see progress. “We have had some

Even as the Cougars struggled in their first four games, there was never any quit in the team. They have battled each week and were rewarded with their first win of the season. “It’s frustrating, but the kids have worked hard,”

Michael Pratt is marking his 40th anniversary as the conductor of the Princeton University Orchestra By Anthony Stoeckert

Michael Pratt and the Princeton University Orchestra will open a new season with music by Mozart, Beethoven and Mahler.

hen Michael Pratt steps to the podium at Alexander Hall on Oct. 20, he will begin his 40th anniversary season as the conductor of the Princeton University Orchestra. It’s a milestone that continues what he calls quite simply “a great job,” and a dream he has had since childhood. Pratt has loved music for as long as he can remember. When he was around 3 years old, growing up in Georgia, he would sit under the family piano as his older sister practiced. “I would go and just sit under the piano to feel the vibrations,” Pratt says. “I loved doing that and I remember doing it very distinctly, and it was all right with her; I wasn’t being that annoying.” A few years later, when he was around 10, he made a discovery at the local library, which he says he “haunted” as a child. “And I realized they had some recordings, they had some LPs,” Pratt says. “I took some of them home, and one of them was the boxed set of the four Brahms symphonies with Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony. I put one on and I was a goner, I just ate them alive. I listened to them again, and I imagined myself conducting them.” Another important impression was made when Pratt watched televised Young People’s Concerts, conducted by Leonard Bernstein. “I didn’t miss a one,” he says. “And I saw this man and I said, ‘I want to be him.’” The Princeton University Orchestra will kick off Pratt’s milestone season at Richardson Auditorium, Oct. 20-21. The concerts will open with the overture of Mozart’s “The Magic Flute,” followed by Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concert in G Major. “Which to me is really his most miraculous work for piano and orchestra,” Pratt says. “There’s nothing else like it in the repertoire. It is a work of power and mystery and love and drama.” The soloist for the Beethoven will be Geoffrey Burleson, a faculty member at Princeton who performs around the world and is working on a recording of Camille Saint-Saens’ solo piano music “I’m very excited to be performing with Jeff,” Pratt says. The concerts will conclude with Mahler’s First

Symphony. “We’re doing the Mahler First because I love Mahler,” Pratt says. “Mahler and Mozart may be my deepest musical loves. We’ve done Mahler for several years in a row and I keep doing it, number one, because it’s Mahler. Because I love it so much and I’m afraid orchestras are somewhat bound to the taste of their conductors. . . . And also it’s a particular style and sound that has to be learned. We’ve got three-quarters of the orchestra who played the Mahler Five last April, that will carry, they will have more of a sense of how the music sounds. I don’t want to waste that.” Pratt’s office is in the Lewis Center for the Arts’ New Music Building, which recently opened on campus off Alexander Avenue and University Place. During an interview in late September, there were still framed posters resting against a wall next to an upright Steinway Boston model piano. Pratt calls the new building “dazzling” and says it does what it’s supposed to do. “We’re in it, we’re making music, it’s working,” he says. “It’s a beautiful place to be. It feels good in here. For the first time, we have a facility that is a platform for musical performance.” It’s a long way from how things were at Princeton in 1977, when Pratt first arrived on campus. Before Princeton, he was living in Boston and working at the New England Conservatory, as an assistant for Gunther Schuller, who was in his last year of serving as president of the conservatory. “He took a shine to me and he was one of my most wonderful mentors,” Pratt says. “He was leaving the conservatory but he said, ‘Look I still need an assistant if you want to stick around.’” Pratt was living on “next to nothing” when he got a phone call from Peter Westergaard, who was chair of Princeton’s music department at the time, and is now a professor emeritus at the university. He told Pratt about the conducting job and that Schuller and another mentor, Gustav Meyer, recommended him for the job. Pratt auditioned and after talking it over with Meyer, decided to take it. “Princeton was a very different place then,” Pratt says. “Musical performance at that time was really on the margins of what was done in the music department. It was a place set up for scholarship and theory and composition, the so-called academic side

of the study of music. Performance was something you did just in your spare time, although if you’re doing the other stuff right, you shouldn’t have much spare time.” Pratt adds that at the time, if graduate students were in practice rooms, they’d be approached by a musicologist who would remind them they were at Princeton to study musicology, not performance. Pratt says the university was already making moves that were focused on performance when he got there, and that there have been a few watershed moments in the move toward giving more attention to performance. The first was the renovation of Alexander Hall when it became Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall. “People see it now and think, ‘It’s always been like this,’” Pratt says. “No, no, it has not always been like that.” Prior to those renovations, the only bathroom was in a hallway. Using it required locking doors on either side, which meant no one else could work through the hallway while the bathroom was being used. “It was a hard-packed dirt floor, with cockroaches the size of guinea pigs,” Pratt says. “No acoustic treatment at all, no reflecting panel. And it’s all we had. Then we started doing operas in there, the orchestra was sounding more like a real orchestra. And the department and the university decided, We need a place that’s going to be a good forum for how good some of our music making is getting.” Other changes included a new stage, adding acoustic panels and creating a space for an orchestra pit. “Suddenly it was a showcase,” Pratt says. “And it became more and more a popular destination for professional ensembles to perform there and record there.” Another key change came in 1990 when the music department established a program in musical performance and named Pratt its director. “That was a special program for performers in the midst of this strong academic department,” Pratt says. “That was the first time the activity of performance itself had been positively addressed by the university. They said, ‘Yes this is worth having, something to attract outstanding performers who are also academically ambitious.’” Continued on page 7B

MUSIC By Anthony Stoeckert

A Symphony Fit For an Organ

The Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey is opening its fifth season with something it hasn’t done before. For its Oct. 21 concert, the philharmonic will feature the Moller theater pipe organ at Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton. For the concert, Joseph Jackson, will join the orchestra for a performance of Camille Saint-Saens’ Symphony No. 3, “Organ Symphony,” Op. 78. Jackson is the organist at First Presbyterian Church Royal Oak in Michigan and also is the accompanist for the Rackham Symphony Choir and the Michigan Opera Theater, for which he also is a touring artist. Jackson says it’s hard to talk about the Saint-Saens without getting over-poetic about it. “It’s a very exciting and grand work, it’s so well crafted,” he says. “It really is Saint-Saens at his best. The term ‘organ symphony’ for the work is a bit of a misnomer. It‘s a symphony with organ, really. The organ does not really feature as a solo instrument, but as part of the ensemble.” Jackson says the organ is heard during the symphony’s allegro movement but isn’t as prominent as it is later in the piece. “In the final movement, it has some big, crashing chords that draw attention to it,” Jackson says. “But really it’s about

tones. Then there are fundamental organ tones. “If you heard that sound, you’d say, ‘Yes, that’s an organ,’” Jackson says. “There are basic, what we call foundation sounds, and we have color sounds. And you combine those in a way as part of your training. But each instrument is unique unto itself. So you’re always sort of making adjustments, you’re always in search of the elusive sound that you have in your mind.” In addition to studying the stop list, Jackson says he will get a day to practice on the organ, prior to rehearsing with the orchestra. “As an organist, I know in my head, the sounds I would like to hear, given an understanding of the type of piece it is, the nationality of the composer, all of those things affect the ideal sound you’re looking for,” Jackson says. “And then it’s my job, once I get there, to find the sounds on that instrument that come closest to what I already have in my ear.” It’s a challenge organists face, unlike, say, violinists, who own and are familiar with their instruments. “There are joys in that and there are sorrows in that,” Jackson says with a laugh. “You come to an instrument and you go, ‘Oh my, this is the most beautiful flute stop I’ve ever encountered. I’m just so happy with this particular sound, I wish this were on every organ I encounter.’ Or you Organist Joseph Jackson will join the Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey for its first concert might encounter a stop and go, ‘That’s the ugliest reed I’ve ever heard, I won’t use that at all.’” of the season.

Face to Face

By Anthony Stoeckert

Trenton City Museum is showcasing work by Bruce Katsiff, including his ‘face maps’

Bruce Katsiff’s photography isn’t meant to be looked at passively. His images aren’t conventionally beautiful; he focuses his lens on things we might not otherwise look at. “I am not a pretty picture maker,” Katsiff says. “I have always tried to look at things that people frequently turn away from. I’ve always tried to make pictures that can be challenging, that can be troubling. You’re not going to see me photographing sunsets on the sea. I don’t mean to put down people who want to make those kind of pictures, but that is not my interest.” His interest is bringing his own point of view to photography, and he has done that most recently with his socalled “face maps,” in which he takes dozens of pictures of a person’s face to create one portrait. “I work with something called a macro-lens, which is a lens that allows you to get very close and I’m basically mapping,” he says. “It’s as if a satellite was mapping the sky and doing 1,000 photographs that were then going to be reconstructed to create the space. I’m basically walking around the subject, photographing around them and bringing all these many, many, many photographs together to make one image.” The results are akin to having more than one copy of a jigsaw puzzle and putting pieces from the second puzzle on top of the finished puzzle, though Katsiff’s works are more seamless than that concept. His face maps are on view at Trenton City Museum at Cadwalader Park through Nov. 12. An image of Claudine Ascher focuses on piercings in Ascher’s nose, above her lip and above her eyebrow. A tattoo of an eye on her left hand creates the effect of three eyes staring at the viewer. “I’m often putting together different pieces to create these things,” Katsiff says. “They’re visual decisions but they’re also, sometimes, decisions of availability. I may not have a good image of the top left, and I need to steal something from another side, and hope that it works and that people aren’t really put off in seeing the difference. And I am combining, very often, a side view with a front view. And I also have that sense, this kind of voyeurism of being able to look at somebody’s face with a magnifying glass.” Katsiff describes himself as a “directorial photographer” meaning he builds or creates the worlds he photographs, as opposed to photographers who focus on capturing images in life and nature as they are. “In those assembled pictures, I’m working as a painter might work; where you bring the objects to the studio and photograph them,” he says. “In the case of the face maps, I’m basically cutting things apart, rearranging them, rebuilding them, creating my own universe.” People can be self-conscious about having their picture taken, and Katsiff is zooming in close on details of peo-

Bruce Katsiff’s face maps, including this one of Claudine Ascher, are on view at Trenton City Museum. ple’s faces. “Most of the subjects do not like these pictures,” Katsiff says. “For example, there is a photograph of my wife there, that she had not seen and she is not happy with it.” Another critic of his is his granddaughter, Emily Katsiff. Two years ago, Bruce excitedly told his granddaughter that her picture was in a museum, after Lehigh University Art Galleries bought that print for its collection. “I told Emily she was now in a museum, at which point she broke into tears,” Katsiff says. “She was absolutely devastated because she has always hated the picture.” There are some people who like their face maps, such as Peter Paone, an artist and print maker. “He’s probably the exception,” Katsiff says. “If I were to survey the people whose pictures are included in here. I would guess that fewer than 10 percent would say, ‘Oh, I really like that picture of myself.’” He says his face maps are not typical portraits, where people expect a flattering image, and that’s consistent with his work. In addition to the face maps exhibit, Ellarslie also is presenting a mini-retrospective of Katsiff’s work, featuring images from his series, “Mysterious Bucks County” and “Historic Taxidermy.” The taxidermy photos are particularly “not pretty” as they show lifeless animals in life-like situations,the scars of taxidermy visible, particularly an image of a Diana Mon-

key with lifeless eyes and nails in its mouth. “Those are pretty scary figures, pretty frightening, particularly the monkey with the nails in his mouth, holding the skin down,” Katsiff says. “These are not pretty pictures. I still think there’s a kind of beauty in them and hopefully there’s some degree of truth in them but they’re certainly not flattering.” The face maps exhibit also includes sculptures of faces by various artists. Among those artists Isabel are Case Borgatta, whose marble works “Summertime,” “Luna” are included. The exhibit also showcases a sculpture titled, “Francesa,” which is the last work created by Borgatta, who died in April. A series of bronze faces by Harry Georgeson are based on paintings the artist made of people riding the New York City subway; not surprinsgly, these faces aren’t smiling. Joan Perkes is the president of the Trenton Museum Society and the curator of the exhibit. Perkes has worked with Katsiff for nearly 50 years, dating back to when she ran a gallery in New Hope and Philadelphia. She focused on paintings and sculptures, not photographs. “He said, ‘I’m a good photographer, I’ve been reviewed in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal,’” Perkes says. “And I said, ‘then I think we’ll be selling photographs.’ It sounds opportunistic, but it was really kind of magical.” They became friends and have worked together in various ways over the decades. That led to a third exhibit running in conjunction with the two of Katsiff’s works, “The Artist/Dealer Relationship — Match Made in Heaven?” explores the relationships between four artists and their dealers: painter Joseph Barrett and Rhonda Garland of the Silverman Gallery in Buckingham, Pennsylvania; Beatrice Sager and Cheryl Hazan of the Cheryl Hazan Gallery in New York City; Russian artist Andrey Remnev and Colm Rowan of Colm Rowan Fine Art in Philadelphia; and abstract artist Michael Madigan and Ruth Morpeth of Morpeth Contemporary in Hopewell. “I like the idea of that long-term relationship between the artist and the dealer and I always wanted to talk about that,” Perkes says. “I thought this was the perfect moment to take that idea and weave it together.” Special events tied to the exhibits include a talk by Katsiff titled “Katsiff on Katsiff,” Oct. 15, 1 p.m. Admission costs $15. On Oct. 29, the museum will present a panel discussion on the artist-dealer relationship. The Museum is located at Ellarslie in Cadwalader Park, Trenton. Hours are Wed.-Sat. noon to 4 p.m., Sun. 1-4 p.m. For more information, go to ellarslie.org or call 609-9893632.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

‘Sleuth’ at Kelsey Theatre Maurer Productions presents a top-notch, and very fun, version of a comedy thriller

“Sleuth” isn’t a mystery so much as it’s a puzzle. Indeed, one of the play’s main characters is a mystery writer who loves games, tricks and bits of deceit. At no point is the audience wondering whodunit, instead we’re trying to figure out how it all the pieces fit together. The play by Anthony Shaffer debuted on Broadway in 1970 and won the Tony for Best Play. It was adapted into a hit film starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine, and was the last movie directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. A remake starring Caine (now playing the older character) and Jude Law was released in 2007, and was less successful. Maurer Productions OnStage is presenting “Sleuth” at Kelsey Theatre through Oct. 15, and reviewing it accurately without spoiling the fun is a challenging task. Having seen the movie years ago, it’s impossible for me to not know the story’s twists and turns. Even seeing the original movie spoils a key twist because of Caine’s stardom. The story is set in the home of Andrew Wyke (played by George Hartpence). He’s a successful mystery writer who is visited by a young man named Milo Tindle (Dan Keyser). Milo is in love with Andrew’s wife and is asking permission to marry her. An-

drew seems fine with this, and admires Milo for asking permission. But he has his doubts, “Can you afford to take her off my hands?” he asks Milo. The situation gets tense as they talk about the wife, Marguerite. Milo gets angry when Andrew insults her and says he’s disparaging the woman he loves. “On the contrary, I was reminiscing about my wife,” Andrew shoots back. Still, Andrew says he wants to help Milo. He hatches a scheme in which Andrew breaks into the house and steels Marguerite’s jewelry, this way he can sell them and Andrew can claim the insurance. It’s a crazy scheme, but Andrew convinces Milo, “You have an expensive woman and no money,” he tells the young man. Regardless of how well you know the play, or what you figure out if you don’t know it, this is well worth seeing because “Sleuth” is fun even if you know it, and because the acting is great. Hartpence is fantastic as Andrew. He carries the swagger of a successful, somewhat cocky, man, who enjoys having power over this younger, somewhat intimidated man. Hartpence does The cast of Mauer Productions OnStage’s “Sleuth.” a lot of talking and is in full command of his lines, filling the theater with a voice that is near royal. He also gets plenty of laughs, vincing bust of Hartpence is featured, and leads to a joke. Also important is a painting both with zingers, and physical comedy. Keyser is also quite good. His part is of Andrew’s wife, which is a painting of tricky, as he starts off intimidated by this Hartpence’s real-life wife, Carol Thompson. The direction by Diana Gilman Maurer powerful man, but subtly gains confidence. Keyser also has to master a few accents and is pitch-perfect, the pace is lively but never does a terrific job with them. He deserves rushed, and all the plot turns are quite clear more praise, but heaping it on would ruin a in Maurer’s hands. It’s a really fun night. If you don’t know few plot turns. The set by John M.

Sending help back home Princeton University student Diego Negron-Reichard is working with a GoFundMe project that is raising money for Puerto Rico

By Rich Fisher Special Writer If it’s possible to say that anything good comes from natural disasters, it’s that they create heroes. Diego Negron-Reichard is not heroic in the sense he ran into burning buildings or descended into piles of rubble. But considering what he was limited to and the mental anguish he had to endure, the 21-year-old senior at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School can truly be considered a fund-raising champion. It is difficult to be a college student, particularly at an institution like Princeton, where the pressure to perform can be mind-numbing. So, imagine how tough it must be for one whose regular academic challenges are compounded by concerns of whether friends and family are safe; or even alive. Actually, there’s no need to imagine, as Negron-Reichard laid it out as a guest contributor for The Daily Princetonian. After Hurricane Maria ripped through his homeland of Puerto Rico, the San Juan native penned the following lead to his story: You’re sitting in class, trying to take notes, but the only thing on your mind is the fact that your family group chat is quiet. Reports then come out with the body count, news articles pop up detailing the damage, and images of a home you once knew cover your feed. Negron-Reichard expounded on that in an interview; saying, “It was honestly terrible and anxiety-inducing — you had no idea of knowing if your

family was okay. And on top of that, you have to somehow manage senior year. The worst part is looking at the pictures on social media and realizing you don’t recognize your island anymore.” Fortunately for Negron-Reichard, his friends and relatives survived — although were still affected. “Thankfully, everyone is okay, considering,” he said. “No power, no water, but that’s the best-case scenario.” The torture of waiting to hear anything, however, was excruciating as news came in dribs and drabs. “I was in contact with my parents most of the time, as they managed to keep cell reception,” Negron-Reichard said. “However, it took a few days to hear from my grandparents, cousins, and uncles and aunts who live on the west coast of the island. I didn’t hear from Katy, the woman who helped my parents raise me, until five days later. She’s like a mom to me, it was unbearable.” Diego knew he was one of the lucky ones; as thousands of others lost homes, family members or their own lives on an island that is home to more than 3.4 million American citizens. Sitting in safety at Princeton, it would have been easy for Negron-Reichard to just count his blessings and resume working toward a degree. Or would it? Myriad emotions ran through the young man’s mind — guilt that he was not there to help; frustration that classmates had no idea Puerto Rico was U.S. territory and that mainstream media shed little light upon that fact;

anger over statements by President Donald Trump; and above all, helplessness because he felt there was nothing that could be done. That all changed when his high school friend, Jose Diego Toro, who attends Penn, called and insisted that the two needed to do something about the situation back home. They promptly coordinated with several other campus leaders to organize a nation-wide “Students With Puerto Rico” Gofundme campaign with other U.S. colleges. That led to the local “Princeton for Puerto Rico” chapter. “Princeton for Puerto Rico is the initiative I started on campus as part of the larger movement [Students With Puerto Rico],” Negron-Reichard said. “On campus we have raised over $7,500 from individual student, faculty and administration contributions.” The Students With Puerto Rico fundraiser is far surpassing its goal of $150,000. The account was set up Sept. 20 and as of Tuesday, Oct. 10, had raised $201,419. More than 3,300 students from 22 colleges have donated, while “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon provided a whopping $20,000. “He found out about the initiative through social media,” said NegronReichard, who said the gofundme account will remain posted for several more weeks. “As students, we were active on all platforms and were able to reach thousands of people. One of them, it just so happened, was Jimmy Fallon. Fallon has a special connection with the island, it’s a regular va-

cation spot for him.” For Negron-Reichard, it’s home. He attended the Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola before coming to Princeton, where he has minors in entrepreneurship, Latin American studies and French. If his fund-raising ability reflects what he can do as an entrepreneur, Negron-Reichard is headed in the right direction. He, however, gives the credit to others. “This shows that people care, and that when we mobilize we have the capacity to have a large impact,” Negron-Reichard said. He noted that the Princeton students are offering several other ways to donate, including: • Through Venmo at diego-negronreichard. • The Eating Clubs have been active in recollection efforts, raising more than $1,200. • A Puerto Rico relief party was held last Friday at the Cloister Eating Club. • The student campus center has been tabled, asking people for their donations. After being discouraged by several influential American leaders and groups to shed more light on the situation, Negron-Reichard’s faith has been renewed by fellow college students. “I am,” he said, “absolutely inspired by the number of individuals on this campus and across the nation coming together to help Puerto Rico.” To make a donation to Students With Puerto Rico, go to www.gofundme.com/studentswithpr.

Princeton Arts Council gala to support education The Arts Council of Princeton will host its annual Dining By Design gala, Oct. 28, beginning at 6 p.m. at Frick Chemistry Laboratory at Princeton University, Princeton. “The gala’s theme, Edge of Dawn, was inspired by the daily if not hourly contradictions we face and the decisions we need to make that are not as black-and-white as we hope. This led us to the Garden of Eden and the decisions that were made and the consequences of those decisions,” said Dina Riad of Dina Riad Interiors who will transform the space at Frick Chemistry Laboratory into a modern Garden of Eden. The evening will feature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, dinner and dessert catered by Jules Boutique Catering; wine-pairings; party boards; a live auction with guest auctioneer Sebastian Clarke of Rago Auctions and “Antiques Roadshow;” a live dance performance curated by Dawn Berman of The Pennington Studio in Pennington, New Jersey, and more.

Your Home from savings to luxury

Rooms can serve double duty

Many homes do not have space for guest rooms, kids’ play areas and home theater lounges that are possible in homes with substantial square footage. But they may not be missing out at all. While large homes remain popular, many people are embracing the benefits of smaller residences. Small homes help homeowners save money, require less maintenance, have smaller environmental impact, and reduce the temptation to accumulate “stuff.” Owners of small homes or apartments can still enjoy the benefits of larger spaces, they just need to equip rooms to perform double duty.

Living room/guest room Entertaining guests is easier when there’s a dedicated space where visitors can feel at home. When furnishing a living room, keep the guest room in mind. A sofa that opens up to a bed or a convertible sectional can be a

comfortable place for guests to lay their heads. Side tables provide guests with places to store their belongings, and an empty storage chest can house bed linens or guests’ clothing. Den/playroom Children tend to accumulate toys and games. And as kids grow from children to young adults, their list of musthave items — from video gaming systems to other electronics — grows along with them. Storage can make a room functional for both adults and children. Devote an entire wall to a closet or drawer system where toys can be stored out of sight when necessary. Storage ottomans can be used for extra seating while also providing somewhere for homeowners to stash stuffed animals or games for easy access. When choosing furniture, look for fabrics that are resistant to stains and modular pieces that can be moved around as necessary to

create room for playing or entertaining.

Bedroom/home office In 2015, 24 percent of employed people in the United States did some or all of their work at home, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Bringing work home means men and women will need a space to work. In tight quarters, bedrooms may be the only available area. An armoirestyle desk will blend in with the decor and can hide paperwork and electronics behind doors. Otherwise, a makeup vanity can serve the dual purpose of providing a place to get ready for a night out and a ready space to house a laptop during the day. In smaller homes, homeowners may be forced to turn rooms into dual purpose areas. — Metro Creative Connec- A trundle sofa bed enables overnight guests to sleep comfortably right in the living room or den. tion

Antimicrobial tiles help create sanitary spaces

Tile can be a worthy addition to rooms with potential moisture issues or areas in a home that may routinely necessitate quick cleanup. Because they are not damaged by constant contact with water, tiled floors and walls are often found in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and entryways. Although tile is resilient, it is not impervious to the microorganisms that tend to proliferate in areas where moisture and humidity are commonplace. Microbes can grow rapidly in warm areas, especially if food is present. Mold or mildew issues also can become problematic seemingly

overnight. But certain modifications can help homeowners alleviate the proliferation of microorganisms. Various manufacturers have developed their own innovative tile that contributes to cleaner, and sometimes more eco-friendly, home environments. The application of certain treatments can make ceramic tiles even more impervious to water and moisture. Some tile may help reduce the spread of certain strains of bacteria, such as E. coli and staph, without requiring the application of potentially harsh chemical detergents. Others treatments may protect against

Injuries that occur around the home contribute to millions of medical visits and tens of thousands of fatalities each year. Falls account for the largest percentage of home accidents, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that around 30,000 fall-related fatalities occur each year in the United States. Many home accidents are entirely preventable when proper caution is exercised. As homeowners prepare for home-improvement projects, improving safety inside

and outside the home should be a priority.

yeast, molds and fungi that can cause stains and odors and result in the degradation of tile. Antimicrobial products inhibit the growth of microorganisms and suppress their reproduction. Some tiles are treated with micrometric particles of titanium dioxide (TiO2), which is activated by sunlight or artificial light. This causes a photocatalysis process, which is responsible for the product’s antipollution and bactericidal properties. Antimicrobial ceramic tile can be advantageous in rooms where sanitation and hygiene are an utmost priority. This includes not only public places,

but private residences. Worktops and floors where microbes can be transferred are particularly beneficial areas to install antimicrobial tile. A potential side effect of antimicrobial tile is a reduction in reliance on harsh cleaning products. Although regular washing is recommended, residents may not need to use odoriferous or strong chemical cleaners to sanitize their homes. This helps improve indoor air quality and reduce the potential contamination of the environment from chemical runoff. — Metro Creative Connection

patio stones, bricks and pavers are secure and level to reduce tripping hazards. Fix areas of the landscape where water may pool and freeze, creating potential hazards.

slip stair treads, and many other devices can make homes safer for people of all ages and abilities. Outfit cabinets and closets with organizers that put frequently used items within easy reach. A sturdy step stool can reduce the risk of injury while reaching for items stored on high shelves. Taking measures to reduce the risk of falling around the home is a worthwhile home improvement project. — Metro Creative Connection

Five ways to make your home safer Improve lighting One of the easiest ways to reduce the risk of falls is to improve lighting around the home. The National Institutes of Health state that adequate lighting is important at entrances to the home, stairways, hallways, and other frequently traversed areas. Make sure lighting fixtures are using the highest wattage light bulb allowed. Artificial lighting sources become even more vital in fall and autumn, when

natural light is less abundant in a home. In addition, install lighting outdoors by the front door, over the garage and where garbage pails are stored to facilitate safe passage. Eliminate slick surfaces Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings. Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs. Use shoe trays to reduce

puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matte- or texturedfinished flooring to improve stability underfoot. Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates. Make needed repairs Repair loose floorboards and pull carpet taut if it has started to stretch out. Address cracks outdoors and ensure that

Declutter all spaces Remove unnecessary items and furniture from rooms to free up more space to get around. Be sure there are no obstructions in walkways, entryways and near doors. Keep staircases clear at all times. Invest in assistive devices Handrails, grab bars, non-

LOOSE ENDS

Pam Hersh

Hulit’s is closing up shop

Ryan Simone reassured me that my hyperactive, noisy, and annoyingly rambunctious grandkids played no part in a life-changing decision affecting his life and the lives of hundreds of Princetonians, including Grandma Pam. The 38-year-old Ryan and his 68-year-old father Chuck Simone have decided to end the 88-year-old life of Hulit’s Shoes at 142 Nassau St. in Princeton, a business that has been a Hulit family affair for its entire existence. (Simone is the married name of a Hulit daughter.) The decision to pull the plug and close Hulit’s doors by the middle of November was based on logic that does nothing to mitigate the family’s emotional distress over the decision. “We are good friends with our customers — many are like family members. I really like them,” Ryan said. These sentiments even apply to my wild-and-crazy grandkids, who upon entering the store behave as though it were a recreational shoe-theme park. An added benefit of this shoe-theme park was Hulit’s mascot — the lovable golden retriever Sonny, who, according to Ryan, thrived on the attention and hugs from customers, both child and adult. For the past few weeks, the merchandise clearance-sale signs have been decorating the store windows at an unlikely clearance-sale time of the year. Loyal customers filed in to ask what was going on. Once told, they all said something like, “You can’t do this to me,” and, recounted their many decades of multi-generational shopping trips to Hulit’s. Princetonian and actress Georgine Stauffer Hall, was not acting when she told Ryan that her first shoe-buying recollection was at Hulit’s, 88 years ago. Far less impressive is my 40 years of shopping at Hulit’s,

After 88 years, the shoe store on Nassau Street is shutting its doors liked, and in some cases sat in the store and ordered the shoes online for maybe less money, but minimally less. “People also today want immediate gratification. Although we can order anything you want, people want it overnight — and we can’t do that. Hulit’s might be able to hang on a little longer if I worked seven days a week, but that lifestyle,” said the father of a 3-and-a-half year old son, “is unacceptable to me — and ultimately unsustainable, considering that I believe the economics of the business are bound to only get worse.” Chuck Simone is ready to fully retire, especially since the recent death of his wife Phyllis, who owned and managed the business with Chuck. Ryan at the age of 12 worked in the store and never questioned that he would become the fourth generation of Hulit family owners and operators of the store. Opened in 1929 by Warren Hulit, Warren’s children Ralph, Pete, Clara, Nellie, and Lillian

The Hulit’s staff. From left: Dave Killeen, Chuck Simone, Ryan Simon, and Keith Lindsay. In front is Sonny, the store’s mascot. whose sales team endured not only my kids’ and grandkids’ behavior, but also my behavior — endless angst about the pains in my arches, soles, heels, toes, and other parts of my body attached to my aging feet. “More than anything what really has impacted all of us is the emotional attachment we have formed with our customers,” Ryan said. “Whether they are taking pictures of their

children or grandchildren getting their first shoes, taking a picture in the store after returning for the first time in 20 years, or getting a picture with Sonny, people continue to tell us what the store has meant to them and their family. We have watched children grow into adults and then bring their children and grandchildren in.” And the reasons for imposing this shopping trauma on the town “are nothing you haven’t

heard already” from owners of family-owned retail businesses, said Ryan, who graduated from Widener University with an accounting degree. The bricksand-mortar shop on Nassau Street cost a lot of money in rent and salaries, “and we no longer can do the volume to cover our costs. The online shopping is a huge factor. . . . People have come into our store, gotten fitted, copied the serial numbers of what they

were all involved in the store that was passed onto Clara Simone’s son Chuck and his wife Phyllis and their son Ryan. Ryan acknowledged that the transition is going to be very weird for him. “I have known nothing else as far as a profession,” he said. So in addition to feeling very sad about losing the relationships with his customers and his employees (Keith Lindsay and longtime associate Dave Killeen), he is feeling uncertain about “what’s next.” He is pretty certain, however, that this is the right time for him to be making this monumental change. I tried to brainstorm ways for him to be able to keep the store operating. Offering pedicures? Providing day care services led by Sonny? Going on house calls as Pete Hulit did for Albert Einstein? All I can say is that Hulit’s has been a great fit for Princeton for nearly nine decades, and I thank the entire family from the bottom of my heart — and soles.

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Stuart Levine, M.D.

Keeping your ankles and feet healthy

The ankle is one of the more stable joints in the body, but it does a lot of heavy work — supporting up to eight times your body weight when you run. With that kind of pressure, it is no surprise ankle injuries are among the most common orthopaedic injuries. At University Medical Center of Princeton, orthopaedic surgeons provide comprehensive care for chronic and sudden ankle injuries — from conservative therapies to advanced, minimally invasive surgery. Their goal is to preserve range of motion while getting patients back on their feet as soon as possible.

Common ankle problems Ankle problems can involve any of the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons surrounding where the ends of the lower leg bones meet the foot. Common problems include: • Sprains. An estimated 25,000 people stretch or tear ligaments in their ankles each day, according to the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society. • Achilles injuries. The Achilles tendon moves the foot down and can rupture suddenly or wear down (tendonitis) over time. • Bone injuries. Fractures are common, but the ankle joint can also wear down from arthritis or develop bone outgrowths

(bone spurs). Treating ankle problems If you have a sudden injury that causes ankle pain or swelling, see a doctor immediately. If you experience mild discomfort that does not resolve in a week or two, it also is time to see a doctor. Treatment for ankle injuries range from physical therapy and joint injections to complex surgical procedures. Most sprains can be treated with a combination of rest, compression, immobilization and ice. Achilles injuries and fractures may require surgery, though some fractures can heal without surgery.

Taking care of your ankles One of the most important things to remember when it comes to protecting your ankles is not to wait too long in seeking medical attention for any problems. Delaying treatment can make injuries worse and more difficult to treat. Other actions you can take to protect your ankles include: • Maintaining a healthy weight. More weight means greater pressure on the ankle. • Warming up before exercising. Many Achilles injuries are caused by tightness in the tendon. • Cross train. Doing the same exercise over and over, such as running, can cause overuse injuries. • Paying attention and looking up when you walk or run. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, orthopaedic injuries are increasingly associated with distracted walking, including walking and texting. • Practicing ladder safety. Falls from ladders lead to hundreds of thousands of orthopaedic injuries every year. Make sure your ladder is secure and stable and that you are wearing proper shoes. Save the flip-flops and sandals for the beach. Don’t forget your feet Your foot is an extension of your ankle with 26 bones and 33 joints making up the two. Common foot prob-

irritated and inflamed.

Dr. Stuart Levine lems include: • Bunions. Anyone can get bunions — painful bony lumps on the edge of the foot at the big toe joint — but they are more common in women and typically caused by squeezing your feet into shoes that are too tight and narrow. • Corns. These painful callouses form on the toes and are usually caused by shoes that do not fit properly. • Hammer toes. A hammer toe is a deformity of the second, third or fourth toe and is characterized by a bend in the middle joint. • Heel pain. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of pain on the bottom of the heel. Approximately 2 million patients are treated for this condition every year, according to American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the strong band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot becomes

If the shoe fits Many common foot and ankle problems can be relieved or prevented by wearing the proper footwear. When selecting shoes follow these tips: • Consider a lower heel height. The higher the heel the more pressure there is on your toes, and the ball of your foot. • Make sure your shoes fit your toes. Do not squeeze your toes to fit your shoes. • If you wear high heels, limit the amount of time they are on your feet. • Choose a heel with a wider sole for greater stability. • Make sure there is at least a half-inch space between your longest toe and the tip of your shoes. In general, the average person takes about 10,000 steps a day or 3 million steps each year. That’s a lot of work for your feet and ankles every day. By taking steps to protect them, you can avoid injury and keep them healthy for miles and miles to come.

Morven Museum & Garden, 55 Stockton St., Princeton. “Newark and the Culture of Art: 1900-1960.” The exhibit explores the unique combination of art and industry that made Newark a magnet for modern artists in the early 20th century. Morven’s exhibition celebrates the culture of creativity that flourished alongside John Cotton Dana, the visionary figure in the organization of the Newark Library and Newark Museum. Through his efforts art, industry and society were brought together to inspire the everyday Newark citizen through accessible and beautiful exhibitions. Dana’s goal was to educate by presenting examples of superior design to the greatest number of people possible, including Newark’s immigrant and working-class population; making art a vital part of Newark’s culture and society. Morven’s nearly 50 loans hail from public and private collections from across the country and will reflect Dana’s vision by including painting, textiles, ceramics, and sculptures, through Jan. 28, 2018.

In its first year, the program had about seven or eight students, and now it has almost 30, according to Pratt. And as that program drew better musicians, other areas of performance, such as dance, saw more and more talent arrive. “Princeton started to slowly become more a target for high school students who wanted a high level of performance training within the context of the great academics of Princeton,” Pratt says. As that growth continued, a day came about 10 years ago when then-president Shirley Tilghman held a meeting at Nassau Hall about the university and the arts. “She came in and she just knocked out socks off when she said — ‘I want Princeton to become as well known for excellence in the arts as it is excellence in anything else,’” Pratt says. “She set that as a goal, I think she wanted that to be a big part of her legacy.” There were committees and consultations with architects about what a new building would include. The economy forced some changes, such as scrapping plans for a

new concert hall, but Pratt says faculty members were involved in offering ideas for what the new building would include. “We were consulted — ‘What do you need? What’s your dream? Let me hear your dream, don’t dream little, dream big,’” he says. He got his wish. The New Music Building has more practice rooms, teaching studios and a place for the orchestra to rehearse, the Lee Music Performance Center, which is on the ground floor of the Lewis Center’s new arts complex, off an area known as the Forum. Pratt’s orchestra held its first rehearsals there in late September. The Princeton University Orchestra will perform the overture of Mozart’s “Magic Flute,” Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, Op. 58 and Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 in D major at Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall on the Princeton University campus, Oct. 20-21, 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $15 and are available at music.princeton.edu.

Q

. Where did you grow up? A. I am a New Jersey resident my whole life. Born in Red Bank and raised in Middletown, after college my wife and I moved to central New Jersey where we have been for almost 40 years.

Q

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. There is something for everyone in the greater Princeton area. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, golfing). Mercer County’s commitment to the space devoted to parks, trails and waterways make for an exceptional quality of life people who enjoy outdoor activities.

Q

. What is your specialty in real estate? A. Several years ago I earned the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. Baby boomers like me often are dealing not only their own futures regarding planning for retirement and real estate needs, but that of

their parents and children. The SRES course provided me with all of the tools to help me help seniors who are not sure where to begin. While “aging in place” is preferred, there may come a time when it is no longer a choice. In many cases baby boomers have parents and children with special needs. I have an excellent network of professionals in place to help them make the best choices.

Q

. What separates you from your competition? A. My marketing communications background and skills enable me to better position and present my clients properties and help define where the prospective buyers will be coming from, thus maximizing how every marketing dollar is spent to target prospective buyers. On the buy side, I am very straight with my clients about the pros and cons of properties they are considering.

Q Q

. What did you do before real estate? A. I was Owner/President of a marketing communications company for 18 years.

. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Helping people who need the most help. Firsttime home buyers and Seniors seem to have the most needs. First time home buyers have many questions every step of the way, and I am happy to lead them. Seniors often do not have a spouse or children living locally to help with a move, so you become family. Trust is a huge part of any transaction, especially when you are dealing with Seniors.

real estate news Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Helps to Raise Funds for Hurricane Relief Services Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New Jersey and Rockland County, N.Y. invites neighbors to join the effort to raise funds for those impacted by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey by donating to one of two campaigns, the Realogy Disaster Relief Fund (RDRF) and the Realogy Foundation’s Florida Hurricane Fund. Funds are being collected through the Realogy Charitable Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) public charity supporting the philanthropic and volunteer activities of Realogy Holdings Corp. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares, the charitable arm of the local company, is a chapter of the Realogy Charitable Foundation. The sole purpose of RDRF is to provide direct financial assistance to affected employees and sales agents affiliated with a Realogy franchised or companyowned real estate brokerage office (e.g., as a broker, sales agent or employee), including Coldwell Banker. Donations to RDRF are tax-deductible and will be used to help those affected to address some of their emergency financial needs not covered by insurance. Donate to the Realogy Disaster Relief Fund or visit www.events.org/rdrf for more information.
