Pianos, parks and players Hometown Harvest Fair a hit By Mike Morsch Regional Editor

215-354-3146

Highststown High School football coach Ethan Jeros and the Rams Football Parents Club are always looking for opportunities for the players to grow together as a team. For the past few years, that has included submerging the players in an outdoor dunk tank. In October. Fortunately for the Rams’ players, the early fall temperatures were favorable enough last weekend that they could comfortably discard the helmets and shoulder pads in favor of swimming shorts at the 15th annual Hometown Harvest Fair Oct. 7 in Hightstown. It was the third time the HHS Rams have manned the dunk tank at the fair. Not only has it served as a team-building exercise, but it’s also for a good cause. More than 50 football players, from the varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams, volunteered to the sit in the dunk tank during the fair. The team raised money to be used to purchase fruits and vegetables for the Rise Food Pantry, which distributes food to help 500 families each month. Rise is preparing to give out approximately 400 Thanksgiving baskets to local families this year, ensuring that those in the community can enjoy the holiday season. This

year, $845 and 45 canned goods were collected at the dunk dank. The players will continue the tradition of working with Rise by volunteering their time at the food pantry this Thanksgiving where they will flex their muscles lifting the hundreds of Thanksgiving turkeys. That was just one of the activities available for fairgoers at the annual celebration. This year the event attracted approximately 200 vendors featuring crafts, jewelry, collectibles and more as well as an all-new food truck section along South Main Street in Hightstown. “It’s was an exciting time for the community to welcome thousands of fairgoers to our historic town,” said Trish Egan, Harvest Fair committee chairwoman. “A few of the vendors mentioned that this was one of the most well-organized town fairs they have ever been to.” Children were treated to numerous activities including bounce houses, games, face and pumpkin painting. Food trucks were kept busy serving up the likes of barbecue, cupcakes, lobster macaroni and cheese, sausage sandwiches and empanadas. There were two stages of live music, featured Backseat Driver and Funk Point 5 on one stage and local talent like Angel Agymen and Lara Koppel on the other stage. As has been the past custom, all the ducks were sold and the day ended with the Ducky Derby race. Among the attractions this year was the Pianos in the Park initiative, a collaboration between two Hightstown commissions: cultural arts and parks and recreation. In an effort that combined public art with the power of music, pianos were placed and Memorial Park and Association Park and fairgoers were encouraged to stop and play the pianos while rediscovering the local parks. The pianos were donated by the Hightstown Historical Society and Meadow Lakes at Springpoint.

MERCER COUNTY NOTES Howell Farm corn maze now open through October

Howell Farm’s 21st annual Corn Maze opens with wild and wooly challenges for those prepared to navigate its 10-foot-tall corn and match wits with its MazeMaster. The maze is a giant, walk-on puzzle whose pathways form the image of a shepherd and flock of sheep, a familiar sight at the nearby Howell Farm. Maze-goers who find the puzzle pieces can solve its three-way game board and will be eligible for prizes, boasting rights and top billing on the maze’s big scoreboard. Those seeking the ultimate challenge can try solving the maze in the dark, when moon, stars and lamplight are needed to find the way out. Team-building challenges for schools, community groups and businesses are available on weekdays, by reservation. General admission is $10 for ages 10 and older, $8 for children ages 5-9 and free for children 4 and under. In October, entry hours are from 5 to 8 p.m. Fridays, noon to 8 p.m. Saturdays, and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. On all dates, the maze closes one hour after the latest entry time. The maze includes a courtyard with music, games, photo-ops and pedal tractors for kids. Hayrides, food, a farm stand with pumpkins, and the farm’s traditional hay bale maze is also offered. In connection with the maze theme, shepherd and working dog trainer Gene Sheninger will demonstrate the art and science and herding sheep with border collies during special presentations Oct. 14 and 15. For more information, call the farm office at (609) 737-3299 or visit www.howellfarm.org or www.mercercountyparks.org.

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. In addition to the organ symphony, the philharmonic will play Hector Berlioz-Roman’s Carnival Overture, Op. 9 the organ as an ensemble instrument.” and Alan Hovhaness’s Mysterious Mountain, Opus 132.

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

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.

Stuart Levine, M.D., is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle surgery. He is a member of the medical staff at University Medical Center of Princeton.

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.

. 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.

. 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.

. 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.

. 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.
