Layoff notices sent to Choir College faculty By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Rider University Gregory G. Dell’Omo left the door open this week that his administration might not be able to finalize a “potential” transaction to sell Westminster Choir College, where 33 full-time faculty members got layoff notices on Tuesday. In a message Tuesday to the university community, Dell’ Omo wrote that the undisclosed “potential partner” intends to keep oper-

ating Westminster as a music school in Princeton and, “at this time,” wants to keep the faculty and staff. Little has been disclosed about the partner, except that it is an Asian-based operator of k-12 schools but has no experience in higher education. The two sides have been negotiating. Dell’Omo said in his letter that there is a “possibility” that a deal is “reached and finalized” by the end of the current academic year. “However, in the event a trans-

action is not consummated, it may be necessary to transition to closure and provide an opportunity for teach-out of current WCC students,” he wrote. “This process would decrease the size of the student body and thus create the need to concurrently reduce the size of the workforce.” Of the layoff notices, he stressed that no one was being “fired or laid off as of (Tuesday).” “Rather, our community should understand that the notice was provided as part of a larger

process intended to secure the future of WCC,” he wrote. He also said, “While we do not believe that the potential WCC transaction triggers the (collective bargaining agreement) layoff notice provisions, we provided a layoff notice to WCC full-time faculty earlier (Tuesday) in case it is required and in an effort to share important information about the process with our community.” For its part, the faculty union said in response that it intended to file a grievance. Elizabeth

Scheiber, president of the Rider chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said Wednesday that her union’s contract with Rider says the university only can justify laying off full-time, tenured faculty in cases of “financial exigency.” “So the union is questioning the financial exigency issue of these layoffs,” she said in a matter that would go before an arbitrator.

Former park commission chief indicted By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

215-354-3146

Kevin B. Bannon, the former executive director of the Mercer County Park Commission, was indicted Tuesday on public corruption charges that could send the once promising college basketball coach to prison. In a 10-count indictment, he is charged with six counts of seconddegree official misconduct and related offenses focusing on the intersection of his job at the commission and at the Friends of Mercer County Parks, the nonprofit he ran with his brother. The state Attorney General’s Office laid out how Bannon would have money that should have gone to the county go instead to the Friends and how he obtained benefits for himself and others close to him. For instance, the United States Tennis Association had tennis tournaments at Mercer County Park, but authorities claimed that Bannon had court rental fees — totaling $9,000 for 2013 to 2015 combined — paid to the Friends. He also allegedly waived more than $37,000 in fees for Friends’ golf outings, more than $19,000 in fees for outings for the New Jersey Recreation and Parks Association and fees for his family golf outings, authorities alleged. He also allegedly would have county employees work on Friends golf events, to solicit sponsors; and have sponsorship signs made up at county expense costing more than $8,000, the Attorney General’s Office said. In another instance, Bannon allegedly approved a contract with a promoter to have three music concerts, in 2015, at Mercer County Park, in which he was able to secure free admission for himself and See INDICTED, Page 11

Trees fell across Carter Road in Lawrence near the intersection of Route 206 as a result of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012.

Five years after Sandy Storm response served as the foundation of a unified Princeton By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Five years ago, Superstorm Sandy socked Princeton with a destructive mix of wind and rain that tested the mettle of first responders and saw the public library become an unofficial recovery center for the community. The storm that hit New Jersey on Oct. 29, 2012, left thousands of people without electricity, felled trees and power lines and took the life of Princeton resident William Sword Jr., 61, killed when a tree fell on him. The response to Sandy, coming when Princeton was still two separate communities, served as a dress rehearsal for when borough and township government agencies eventually would operate as one. “It made and required both public works departments to immediately work together, because there was a common goal … to clean up the municipality,” said Robert Hough, municipal director of infrastructure and operations.

“So it did help with regard to sort of the coordination between the two departments. And I would say that was across the board in several other departments throughout the municipality.” Sandy, itself, created a mess. Trees fell, homes lost power and roads became impassible. The weather also tested first responders’ ability to deal with the crisis. “One of the biggest problems we had was the wind,” said Robert Gregory, municipal director of emergency management. “You had a lot of wind. And there were certain times during the storm were we had to kind of pretty much shut down any response because the wind was at the level where it wasn’t safe for responders to even be outside.” “Having worked through several hurricanes and lots of major storms, that just dwarfed everything else,” said police Chief Nicholas K. Sutter. “The trees closing roads just everywhere. I remember just the flooding everywhere, including Route One.”

The town had to prioritize the cleanup to make sure emergency services could get around, in a town that had large numbers of fallen trees. “We knew going in that the first thing we had to do was get the main roads open,” Hough said. “Not everybody was happy. But there were certain streets that had priorities and they had to be taken care of first.” Gregory said “we had a lot of trees come down and a lot of problems with road infrastructure.” Sandy caused widespread and extended power outages, such that thousands of residents turned to the Princeton Public Library for refuge that week. Former Library Director Leslie Burger recalled the building did not lose power, so it was open the day after the storm hit and stayed open until around 11 p.m. “Because so many people were without power, the word got out that the library had power and people came en masse,” she said. Burger remembered scenes of

people powering up their electronic devices, contacting family members to let them know they were OK or simply warming up and being in the company of others. “It felt like the entire community had been there that day and the days after,” she said. “So we couldn’t give them a shower, but we could certainly give them a restroom and put on a movie and give them books to read and music to listen to. It was pretty great.“ While the community was spared the devastation seen at the Jersey Shore, it took time for the two Princetons to recover and clean up from the mess Sandy had left behind. Hough recalled how some residents did not fully clean out their yards of debris until the next year. “There was a lot of heavy volume of stuff the following spring that people finally got off their property and out to the street after winter,” Hough said In October 2012, Princeton See SANDY, Page 11

Santander Bank robber still on the loose By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Police are still searching for the man who robbed the Nassau Street branch of the Santander Bank last week. The man walked into the bank at 188 Nassau Street and handed the teller a note, demanding cash, shortly be-

fore 4:30 p.m. Oct. 26, police said. The teller gave him money and he walked out of the bank toward Park Place. He was described as a black male, about 6 feet tall. He was wearing a green baseball cap and a green hoodie, and faded jeans. Last week’s bank robbery occurred almost 20 years to the day of another

bank robbery, which turned deadly, at the same location at 188 Nassau Street at the then-Sovereign Bank. In the earlier incident, which occurred Nov. 6, 1997, one of the bank robbers was killed by police as he attempted to use a hostage to shield himself, according to published reports. Two gunmen hid inside

the bank after it closed at 4 p.m., before seizing two bank tellers as they finished their work about two hours later. An employee who was servicing the ATM saw a teller standing alone in the first floor lobby with her wrists bound, and called police. Three Princeton police officers responded and found the lobby was lighted, but empty. They en-

tered the lobby. When the elevator door opened, they saw a man - later identified as Angel Rivera - crouched down and holding a woman. He had one arm around her throat and a handgun pointed at her head. The officers pulled out their guns and tried to talk him into surrendering. But the man pointed his gun at police and then back at the

woman, and he started to count. The hostage jerked down, and the three officers shot and killed him. A second gunman and an accomplice fled the scene in a getaway car. The men - gunman Sandy Casiano and former bank teller Harold Davila - were subsequently arrested and charged, according to published reports.

a suspect through evidence left at the scene of the burglaries. In each instance, none of the victims had locked the car. A Hodge Road resident reported that someone ransacked the car while it was parked in the driveway, but nothing was reported missing. Nearby on Cleveland Lane, $100 worth of miscellaneous items were taken from the victim’s car. Around the corner on Bayard Lane, $30 worth of miscellaneous items were

taken from the victim’s car while it was parked in the driveway. Items also were taken from a car parked on Stanworth Lane. On Green Street in the Wi t h e r s p o o n - J a c k s o n neighborhood, an iPad 4 and $1,000 in cash were reported stolen from the victim’s car. And across town on Spruce Street, $99 worth of miscellaneous items were stolen. To prevent car burglaries, police advise taking

items inside the house or hiding them out of sight in the car,and then locking the car and taking the keys inside the house. Those actions make it harder for thieves, who rely on opportunity to commit criminal acts. A common practice is for thieves to drive through a neighborhood and walk up to parked cars. They check to see if a car is unlocked by pulling on the door handle. If the car is locked, they will move on until they find one that is unlocked.

Princeton police kick off annual winter coat drive By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Buoyed by the success of past winter coat drives, the Princeton Police Department has kicked off its 5th annual winter coat drive with the goal of exceeding last year’s collection of 2,000 pounds of outerwear. Police are asking residents to donate gently used or new winter coats and other suitable cold weather clothing in good condition for both children and adults,

between now and Nov. 20. The winter coats and clothing, which can be dropped off in the lobby of the Princeton Police Department headquarters at 1 Valley Road, will benefit those who are in need in the Princeton community. Despite Princeton’s image as a well-to-do community, there are many people who live here and that do not have everything they need to make it through the cold winter months, said Officer Daniel Federico. He

helped to organize the first coat drive. Police officers want to help people, Officer Federico said, and this is one way to carry out that mission. The Princeton Police Department has collected hundreds of coats in the past four years, which have been distributed to those who need them. For more information, contact the Princeton Police Safe Neighborhood Bureau at 609-921-2100, ext. 5, or email fwilliams@princetonnj.gov.

Property tax rebate being sent to homeowners By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The first batch of free, no strings-attached money to “vulnerable” Princeton homeowners is going out out this week, the fruit of the settlement between Princeton University and a group of residents who had challenged Nassau Hall’s property tax exemption. The university said in a news release Tuesday that “about” 750 homeowners who had qualified for the state’s homestead rebate program three years ago will be getting around $2,500 “per eligible home.”

In all, the university is paying $2 million this year to a “property tax relief fund” and then $1.6 million a year to the fund for the five years after that. Residents will get a check in the mail from the Community Foundation of New Jersey, the organization administering the program, and have 90 days to deposit it, the university said. Any money left over after the distributions will go to 101: Inc., a local nonprofit that provides needsbased, college scholarships to Princeton High School graduates, the university said.

“Our purpose in bringing the lawsuit was to equalize the tax position to protect the most vulnerable home-owning families in the community, many of whom are just ordinary working people, some people who are disabled, some people who are seniors with a very small pension and who are hurt by high taxes that hit them far worse than most families in the community of Princeton,” said Bruce I. Afran, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, by phone Tuesday. There are no strings attached to the money, so recipients can use it anyway

they want. “And these annual checks of approximately $2,500 will help them pay their taxes or take care of vital repairs to keep them in the community,” he said. “And our goal was to settle this case to protect these most vulnerable families.” Afran said the check is seen as a “charitable gift” but said recipients “should speak to their tax preparer if they want to.” “The gift exemption is $14,400 for every person,” Afran said, “so there’s no danger of people owing taxes.”

the Parents of Enrolled Westminster Students organization at their meeting with administration next week?” On Thursday, university officials were on campus speaking in separate meetings with students in the morning and with faculty in the afternoon. But the faculty union had a press conference Thursday afternoon at the Choir College where it rebutted some of the narratives the union says the administration is distributing. Jeffrey Halpern, a Rider professor of sociology and contract administrator for the union, said the university talks of having deficits in the $10 million to $14 million range, but that its latest financial statement showed positive cash flow and net assets that increased by $5.5 million. “This does not justify

taking the type of drastic actions that they have proposed,” said Halpern. “We believe this has to do not with what they need to do, but what this president wants to do, which is to divest himself of a world-class program so he can invest more money on the other campus.” Rider trustees decided to part ways with Westminster after 25 years. Westminster

faculty has complained that professors are being kept in the dark, however. “I repeat,” Dell’Omo said, “that our goal remains to transition Westminster Choir College to a new organization, and we believe we have found an entity that is committed to making the necessary investments in the institution to take WCC and its legacy to a stronger future.”

Faculty Continued from Page 1 ton, Inc., said the lay-off notices were a scare tactic, intended to influence the faculty, the AAUP, and the coalition to back off and go along with the deal they are proposing. “With no information about the potential partner forthcoming, no assurance that the college will remain on its campus long term, and no voice in the negotiations, we are fully committed to keeping our lawsuit in place and doing whatever is necessary to protect Westminster’s future,” said Fee. “We find it interesting that this is the first time that closure of the school is being mentioned as a possible option, should the potential deal not be consummated. We were under the impression that Rider would stand by Westminster until a suitable partner was found. Will this option be shared with

Fund supports new parks and preserves By Michele S. Byers

The Daniels Preserve in Gloucester County is a forested oasis whose numerous vernal pools support breeding amphibians. The Hill & Dale Preserve in Tewksbury Township extends from the Rockaway Creek valley up the steep flank of Hell Mountain and provides stream protection and scenic views of the surrounding countryside. The Interboro property - part of the Candace Ashmun Preserve in the Forked River Mountains of Atlantic County - is pristine Pine Barrens forest. The quiet and serene Friendship Creek Preserve in Burlington County protects a beautiful tributary of the Rancocas Creek. What do these properties have in common, besides their natural beauty? All were preserved in perpetuity with the help of Natural Resource Damages funds from the State of New Jersey. New Jersey law requires companies to clean up their polluted sites and pay for environmental damage to natural resources, defined as “all land, biota, fish, shellfish and other wildlife, air, water and other such resources.” The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Natural Resource Restoration was created in the early 1990s to restore environmental injuries caused by discharges of hazardous substances and other pollutants - and to compensate the citizens of New Jersey for these damages. The fines and penalties are known as Natural Resource Damages. The authority for addressing damages to the public’s natural resources stems from the Public Trust Doctrine. This common law provides that public lands, waters and living resources are held in trust by the government for the benefit of its citizens. Natural Resource Damages funds have been used by New Jersey Conservation Foundation and others to preserve beautiful and ecologically important land throughout the state. In 2007, the Rancocas Conservancy partnered with NJ Conservation to preserve 226 acres in the Pine Barrens of Tabernacle Township, Burlington County, creating the Friendship Creek Preserve. The property contains the headwaters of Friendship Creek, a tributary of the South Branch of the Rancocas Creek. The Preserve is open to the public and is owned and managed by the Rancocas Conservancy. The 70-acre Darmstadt property in Mullica Township, Atlantic County, along Indian Cabin Creek, was preserved with Natural Resource Damages funds in 2008. NJ Conservation preserved this property which contains a large Atlantic White Cedar swamp as well as an upland forest of pines and oaks. Its preservation helps to prevent fragmentation of the Elwood Corridor, an ecologically critical belt of forest lands connecting the northern and southern regions of the Pine Barrens. Also in 2008, an additional 63-acre parcel known as the Wharton property was acquired in Atlantic County. The land is open to the public for recreation, including hiking, bird watching and hunting. The property contains a small tributary stream of the Mullica River, an upland forest of pines and oaks, and a wetland “spung” that is a known See FUND, Page 6

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Coalition looks to provide information on candidates To the editor: On Nov. 7, the New Jersey governorship and our whole legislature (40 senators and 80 General Assembly members) are up for election. New Jersey is one of only two states with gubernatorial elections this year, and the rest of the country will be watching. This year, we all have to go to the polls and vote. We have to make sure our voices are heard and that we elect officials - legislators, sheriffs, freeholders, council members, board of education members - who truly represent us. However, in this age of abundant data, it can be surprisingly difficult to learn who is running for office, and what their positions are on the issues. Do you want to contact your local candidates to ask their positions on issues they have not spoken about publicly? Good luck with that. All the state provides is the candidates’ names and postal addresses. The Good Government Coalition of New Jersey (ggcnj.org), a new non-partisan grassroots group that grew up in Princeton, recently launched a campaign to correct this problem. GGCNJ created a database designed to provide information on all statewide candidates (and many local candidates) running this year. Candidates are asked to state their views on a list of good government measures and supply personal contact information (email, phone, website, social media) as well as biographical information (occupation, education, previous public service). This information is then posted on the site so voters can make informed decisions. GGCNJ is calling on all candidates to help by providing their information to the database - every candidate should want informed voters. (Email info@ggcnj.org to get an electronic survey form.) We also encourage all citizens to make use of this database before they cast their ballots. GGCNJ’s broader mission is to strengthen democracy in NJ by working with residents across our state to bring greater transparency, accountability and participation to our state and local governments. The coalition has identified several areas in which the current political system in New Jersey is broken. Too much power is concentrated in too few hands. This leads to a system that is dominated by those with money and power who shape decisions in backroom deals, leaving the public shut out of the process. GGCNJ aims to ensure that government, at both the state and local levels, works on behalf of all of us. To find out more and to join us, please go to ggcnj.org. And don’t forget to vote on Nov. 7. This is our chance to make a difference in our state.

Support Michele Tuck-Ponder for Princeton School Board To the editor: Michele Tuck-Ponder has given extraordinary public service to Princeton, and we wholeheartedly endorse her candidacy for the Princeton School Board. She will bring to the board the knowledge, leadership skills, and - most significantly - values of critical importance to the ultimate vitality of our schools and our community. Michele is a public-school parent, a taxpayer, an attorney and a former mayor. She understands that a school system cannot truly achieve excellence unless it promotes the achievement of all of its students. She also knows well that an unaffordable school system threatens the very diversity that enriches our schools. Michele will work to support a school culture that embraces high expectations for all students while also preparing them to navigate a multicultural world. She will work equally hard to hold the line on budget and to ensure that expenditures are cost-effective and serve our educational mission. Her government experience includes policy-related positions as aide to a United States Senator, assistant counsel to the New Jersey governor, and mayor and member of Township Committee in the former Princeton Township. She was centrally involved in overseeing the feasibility study, design and financing of the Princeton Municipal Complex and the negotiation and financing of infrastructure and siting for the Princeton Public Library.

In the non-profit sector, Michele has served as an executive of Women’s Fund and the YWCA and a member of the boards of New Jersey After 3 and the Girl Scouts. She has repeatedly met the challenge of serving the public interest while conserving scarce resources. This background will serve well the school board’s need to explore alternative sources of funding and carefully review the economics of our current commitments. As enrollment grows, school board members will be called upon to make strategic decisions about facilities, infrastructure and the alignment of spending and mission. Michele will bring to these issues an ability to identify and ask the hard questions, well-known skills as a consensusbuilder, and a deep commitment to a quality education for all students in our system. We hope you will join us in supporting her candidacy.

Andrew Zwicker’s work ethic, bipartisan approach is refreshing

To the editor: When we go to the polls on Nov. 7, it’s important to remember that New Jerseyans are voting not only for a new governor, but to fill every seat in the state Legislature. Regardless of your party affiliation, I strongly urge voters to join me in voting to return Andrew Zwicker to the Assembly in District 16. In his first term, Zwicker has shown that he will reliably rise above the name-calling and mudslinging that infects our politics today, and work with people from any party or ideological background to find solutions that benefit everyone. Since he was elected to the Assembly in 2015, Zwicker has justly earned his reputation as one of the hardestworking members. When it comes to serving his constituents around the district, from South Brunswick all the way to Readington and everywhere in between, Andrew’s record is impressive. Claims clinics for veterans; job fairs; helping people get the services and support they need from state agencies - Zwicker is everywhere, working for everyone. It feels to me like many of our politicians have forgotten who they work for, but Zwicker’s work ethic and sensible, bipartisan approach as a public servant is refreshing. Let’s re-elect Andrew Zwicker to the New Jersey Assembly on Nov. 7. He is exactly the kind of levelheaded, smart representative we need working for us in Trenton.

Zwicker among state’s top environmental leaders

To the editor: I write to urge voters concerned about the environment to send a clear message by supporting Andrew Zwicker on Nov. 7. In his first two-year term Zwicker has quickly become one of the New Jersey Assembly’s top environmental leaders, and earned a reputation as proud heir to the scientificallygrounded, environmental tradition of Congressman Rush Holt. Assemblyman Zwicker has sponsored legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and expand the use of clean, renewable energy. With federal environmental protections evaporating, Zwicker has been a steadfast advocate for more robust state standards to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land on which we grow our food. Zwicker joined groups of concerned citizens to oppose pipeline expansion in environmentally sensitive or heavily populated areas, and earned the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters and the Clean Water Fund. Last week, Zwicker was one of 10 sitting Assembly members endorsed by Environment New Jersey, for his record of “marked environmental leadership and working to address environmental threats.” In the wake of U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords, enhanced state and local action to defend our environment is imperative. A comprehensive report released last month by researchers at the Rutgers Climate Institute found that New Jersey lacks a detailed, comprehensive strategy to significantly reduce its carbon footprint by mid-century. Princeton has stepped up to do its part by embarking on a Climate Action Plan for the community; we need the support and cooperation of environmental champions like Zwicker at the state level. This is an on-year election for the environment and every vote counts. Please use yours to help re-elect Andrew Zwicker to the New Jersey Assembly next Tuesday, November 7.

NJ Conservation partnered with the South Jersey Land & Water Trust to preserve this land in South Harrison Township, which consists of mixed hardwood forest and forested wetlands dominated by red maple, sweet

gum and black gum. Numerous vernal pools provide a breeding habitat for a variety of amphibians. A tributary of Oldmans Creek runs through the property’s southern edge. When the land was preserved in 2008, former DEP Commissioner Lisa Jackson noted, “Conservation of this property benefits the region tremendously by protecting ground water supplies, preserving wildlife habitat, and providing a regional hub in a statewide network of protected parcels of open space.” The 620-acre Interboro

property in Ocean and Lacey Townships was preserved in 2009 with the help of Natural Resource Damages funds. It’s now part of a 4,000-acre preserve named for Candace McKee Ashmun, one of the state’s leading conservationists and the only remaining original member of the state Pinelands Commission. Natural Resource Damages funds also helped preserve part of the Hill & Dale Preserve in Tewksbury Township, Hunterdon County, in 2008. The Preserve’s fields drain to a tribu-

tary of the Rockaway Creek, part of the headwaters of the North Branch of the Raritan River. Permanently preserving these lands protects water quality in the Raritan River, an important drinking water source.

TAKEN WITH MORE THAN A GRAIN OF SALT The culprit that is primarily responsible for the development of high blood pressure and heart disease is sodium (salt). The vast majority of Americans consume more than twice the sodium recommended for a healthy diet, ingesting about an average of 3,400 milligrams daily. That is why the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that we decrease our average daily sodium intake by more than half to less than 1,500 milligrams per day. Aside from avoiding sodium (which mostly comes from processed foods), the AHA also recommends that we increase our potassium intake since this mineral facilitates the excretion of sodium through the urine and out of the body. Potassium also helps relax blood vessel walls, which helps lower blood pressure. Regulated by your kidneys, sodium helps control your body’s fluid balance. It also helps send nerve impulses and affects muscle function. When there’s extra sodium in your bloodstream, it pulls water into your blood vessels, increasing the total volume of blood inside them. Blood pressure increases. To schedule an appointment please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-921-8766. The office is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton. I accept Medicare and most insurance. Our website, www. drrobertplatzman.com, has more information about our practice. P.S. As sodium accumulates in the body, it holds on to more water to dilute it. As a result, the amount of fluid surrounding cells and the volume of blood in the bloodstream increases, creating more work for the heart and more pressure on blood vessels.

ELECTION 2017

Murphy links Guadagno to Trump, ‘politics of division’ By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Phil Murphy sought Thursday to link his Republican rival Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno with President Donald Trump by saying they “practice the politics of division,” in an appearance in Princeton with the Gold Star father who had criticized Trump at last year’s Democratic National Convention. “Unfortunately, too many of our state and national leaders do not believe in the values of fairness or inclusion,” Murphy said with Khizr Khan seated near him in the Princeton Arts Council. “The president spreads fear in a desperate attempt to turn our diversity

into a threat.” Murphy claimed that Guadagno and Gov. Chris Christie have been “largely silent while President Trump tramples on New Jersey’s values of inclusion and openness.” Khan, a Muslim native of Pakistan who lost a son in the Iraq War, gained notoriety with his speech at the convention in Philadelphia. Khan, who since has gone on to become a political activist, urged the crowd to “set the direction of this country straight.” “On the day of election, you will be casting the vote to strengthen your democratic process, your democratic way of life, to show to the rest of the nation this is the right way to support democracy and live in a

thorities place on those believed to be subject to deportation. Princeton officials, for example, maintain they want to make the illegal immigrant community comfortable to deal with police. Speaking to reporters as he was leaving the venue, Murphy said Guadagno, a former federal prosecutor and Monmouth Count Sheriff, is “putting politics over public safety, and she knows it.” But earlier in the day, Guadagno sought to again criticize Murphy’s plan with an event in Middlesex County, where federal immigration authorities last week arrested 36 “criminal aliens” in an operation targeting people who had been let out of the county jail, which does not honor immigration detainers. “Phil Murphy is getting desperate to distract from his plan to increase taxes and make New Jersey a

sanctuary state,” said Guadagno spokesman Ricky Diaz on Thursday. “As a working mom, Kim will bring Main Street values to the governors office, not the out-of-touch Wall Street values Phil Murphy is offering voters.” With less than two weeks to go before Election Day, Murphy enjoys a commanding lead, according to a poll out this week by Quinnipiac University. He is ahead 57 percent to 37 percent among likely voters, with a large edge among women voters, the poll showed. In his latest stop in town, the former ambassador to Germany and Goldman Sachs executive appeared at ease, making jokes in his remarks, as he spoke before an audience of Democratic supporters. He slipped in a little Arabic, before a crowd that also included Muslims.

Voters to decide on down-ballot races By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton voters go to the polls Nov. 7 to choose a new governor and decide a series of down-ballot races for state, county and local offices and two referendum questions. The governor’s race pits Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno against Democrat Phil Murphy, a former ambassador, to see who replaces Gov. Chris Christie. In the 16th legislative District, incumbent state Sen. Kip Bateman, a Republican, is running against Democrat Laurie Poppe. In the Assembly race, incumbent Andrew Zwicker and fellow Democrat Roy

Voters will choose between Jess Deutsch, Beth Behrend, Michele Tuck-Ponder, James Fields, Julie Ramirez and Jenny Ludmer.

The Princeton Council race is uncontested, with Democrats David Cohen and Leticia Fraga running to succeed Councilman Bernard P. Miller and Councilwoman Jo S. Butler. The state also has a ballot question seeking voter approval to float $125 million in bonds to pay for library projects. The other ballot question asks whether the state constitution should be amended to require all money that the state collects in environmental lawsuits be used only for environmental purposes or for paying legal costs incurred in pursuing those cases. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Montgomery High to present Allen comedy Montgomery High School will present the comedy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Drink The Waterâ&#x20AC;? by Woody Allen on Friday, Nov. 3, and Saturday, Nov. 4, at 7:30 at the high school at 1016 Rte. 601 Skillman, NJ 08558. The play is set in an American embassy somewhere behind the Iron Curtain in the 1960s. See what happens when The Hollanders, an American family from Newark, accidentally take pictures in a restricted area and are chased into the Embassy for asylum. The ambassador has just left for a trip when the Hollanders arrive and Axel Magee, the ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less then competent son is left in charge.

The cast includes: Jess Lubitz as Krojack the Communist Officer out to get the Hollanders; Sarah Merwin as Mrs. Hollander; her husband Mr. Hollander a caterer played by Matthew Jarzyna; and their free-spirited daughter Susan played by Genevieve Bouchonville; Lewis Gall as Father Drobney, the priest living in the attic for six years, passing the time practicing magic while he awaits his freedom; and Riley Bursh as Axel Magee the ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bumbling son, just to name a few. Tickets are $4 for students and senior citizens, $5 for adults. All seats are general admission. One dollar from each ticket will be donated to aid hurricane relief victims. For tickets or more information, call 609-466-7602.

Volunteers needed for AARP program AARP Foundation Tax-

Aide is looking to expand its team of volunteers in the Mercer County area for the upcoming tax season. Soon approaching its 50th year, TaxAide offers free tax filing help to anyone, especially those 50 and older, who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Indicted Continued from Page 1 30 to 50 others and access to a VIP hospitality tent, authorities alleged. As part of the deal, he also secured a $2 per ticket donation to the Friends, raising some $21,000, authorities claimed. “We allege that Bannon corruptly used the Friends organization to divert county funds and expand his power over park facilities and events, while also conferring unauthorized benefits like free golf and VIP concert tickets on himself, his family and his inner circle,” said Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino in a news release announcing the indictment. Porrino’s office claimed that in another instance, Bannon had waived golf fees for an accountant working for the Friends, who, instead of being paid by the organization, got to play

some 200 rounds of free golf from 2013 to 2015, “for which the waived fees totaled over $8,000,” the news release said. Bannon’s lawyer, Jack Furlong, on Tuesday released a statement saying Bannon “wants a trial, and the sooner, the better.” Furlong said Bannon would not be permitted to testify before the grand jury. Bannon, 60, of Lawrenceville, could not be reached for comment. He does not have a court date scheduled as of yet, and was not taken into custody. “Kevin Bannon served Mercer County proudly for over twelve years,” Furlong said. “He cut expenses, built revenue and did both while adding award-winning facilities and events. He did all of this under the watchful eye of the public and the Park Commission without receiving a single nay vote. His approval rating for this

legacy was simply one hundred percent. Even I can do the math.” But in the spring of 2016, the Attorney General’s Office raided the Park Commission offices. Bannon, a county employee since 2004 earning $133,728 a year, was fired from his job in June 2016. “The Mercer County Administration and the Mercer County Park Commission are deeply disturbed by the allegations contained in the Attorney General’s indictment concerning the former executive director of the Mercer County Park Commission,” county spokeswoman Julie Willmot said Tuesday. Bannon also allegedly required a county vendor to pay “a fee” of more than $3,000 in concession proceeds to the Friends to be able to sell concessions at the three concerts in 2015. He allegedly went to the

solidation,” Chief Sutter said. “That was the first time the emergency operations center of Princeton Borough and Township worked together. That’s a big memory for me, because, obviously, it was a big change in the way we did things. But it served as the foundation for the way we’ve addressed everything since.” So where is the community five years after Sandy? One town official was confident in how it would respond the next time a major storm hits. “I think we’re in a much better place for recovery, to build that resiliency, so we bounce back quicker and hopefully get things repaired and replaced quicker,” Gregory said in pointing to how PSE&G

and the town have had “an aggressive program” for tree maintenance. “I think you learn from each experience and you experience something new in each one of these events,” Chief Sutter said. “That one just threw a lot of, kind of, unthinkable scenarios. We’ve definitely learned from it.” He said another lesson he drew is that towns can find themselves alone at times when the state has to focus on more hard hit areas. For that reason, he believes it’s critical that towns be prepared, have the resources and be able to “sustain ourselves.”

Trenton Thunder telling the team it owed the Park Commission fees “for non-baseball events” at the county-owned Arm & Hammer Park in Trenton but waived the fees for a $5,000 donation to the Friends. “Bannon fooled many into thinking that the Friends nonprofit and the Parks Commission were, in essence, the same organization, so they didn’t suspect when asked to pay the nonprofit money that should have gone to the county,” said Elie Honig, director of the state’s Division of Criminal Justice. In all, Bannon is charged with eight second-degree charges, which carry up to 10 years each, and two

third-degree offenses, which carry up to five years each. Neither Bannon’s brother nor the accountant is charged in the indictment. Authorities would not say if they are cooperating with law enforcement. “I should also send a note of caution to Attorney General Porrino,” Furlong said. “Before holding a press conference to tout the return of an indictment, he might want to read the Riker Danzig report of their county-sponsored investigation. If not now, he will learn at trial that when you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. I’m just trying to spare the man a rash.” Bannon previously coached men’s basketball

Sandy

Continued from Page 1 Borough and Princeton Township were months away from the historic consolidation of the two municipalities. While the merger would not take effect until January 1, 2013, Sandy required two municipal governments to coordinate their response. “It was no longer township and borough,” Hough said. “It was Princeton. And it was sort of the start of Princeton becoming one during that event. You could see the management team working together. And then you could see out in the field, obviously, the staffs working together.” “That was actually the first storm that we addressed from a unified command standpoint, in terms of con-

AN INTERESTING CONNECTION As numerous studies have confirmed, good oral health is linked to good overall health. A recent example of this connection comes from a study involving 1,566 seniors, 180 of whom had developed some type of dementia. Researchers found that those with 10 to 19 remaining teeth had a 62% greater risk of dementia than those with 20 or more teeth. Those with no teeth (a condition known as edentulism) had an even greater risk (63%), a finding that can likely be attributed to the fact that few of the study participants had no teeth. Previous studies have shown that having few or no teeth can lead to a poor diet, which is associated with an increased risk of dementia. Choose a family dentist who has a sincere interest in his or her patients’ complete health and

who is up to date on the latest oral health care issues. If you are looking for just such a dentist, we invite you to call us at 609924-8300 for an appointment. At our state-of-the-art office, all dental problems are dealt with efficiently, effectively, and compassionately. And any medical problems noticed during a dental exam will be discussed with your other health care providers if you so choose. We’re located Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

P.S. While the study above does not confirm a direct causeand-effect relationship between tooth loss and dementia, there are other very good reasons to avoid tooth loss and gum disease.

WHAT’S UP

RESULTS Princeton U football The Princeton University football team fell to 5-2 on the season with a 29-28 loss to Cornell last Saturday night at Princeton Stadium. The defeat snapped a three-game winning streak for the Tigers, who fell to 2-2 in the Ivy League. Chad Kanoff threw for 370 yards and two touchdowns, while he also ran for a touchdown in the loss. Jesper Horsted caught 10 passes for 133 yards. Cornell had taken the lead on a field goal with 48 seconds left in the game.

The game will be televised by the Comcast Network.

Montgomery, the No. 8 seed in the North Jersey, Section 2, Group IV tournament, was eliminated with a 7-0 loss to top-seeded Bridgewater-Raritan last Saturday. The Cougars, who had opened the state tournament with a 4-0 victory over Franklin, finished the season with an 8-11-1 record.

PDS earns share of prep soccer crown By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The names continue to change, but the results remain the same for the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer program. The Panthers played Montclair Kimberley Academy to a scoreless draw on Wednesday in the state Prep B championship game in Montclair. The 0-0 result made the two teams co-champions for the second straight year, while giving the Panthers their fourth straight year with at least a share of the state Prep B title. “It was two good programs that are fairly evenly matched,” PDS coach Pat Trombetta said. “It was a nice battle. I try to tell the girls it is not uncommon to not

feel totally satisfied with a cochampionship. This year was different because we were the underdogs as the No. 2 seed. They were the top seed and they won their county championship. They have a very good team.” The two teams played to a scoreless tie in last year’s Prep B final. That game was halted in the second half due to poor weather and the teams were declared cochampions. This time around they played 100 minutes of soccer without a goal. Sophomore Riley Felsher of PDS finished with eight saves to record the shutout in goal. Felsher stepped in as the starter this year and helped the Panthers finish the season with 11 shutouts. “Here is a goalie who wasn’t expected to play and she really

rose to the occasion in some of the big games,” said Trombetta, whose team finished the season with a 12-6-1 record. “She had a fantastic game against Steinert in the Mercer County Tournament and she was fantastic today.” Princeton Day fell to Steinert in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals. The Prep B title was the sixth in 10 years for the Panthers, who also won in 2008 and 2010. They also added a Mercer County title in 2013 to their impressive run. PDS will graduate a pair of key four-year contributors in Madison Coyne and Rebecca Kuzmicz, “I can’t say enough about Madison and Rebecca,” Trombetta said. “They are our two seniors and captains and you could

tell it was their last game by the way they played. I was so proud of the whole team with the way they played, especially this year. The young players worked hard and overall we put a lot of different bodies on the field and they all contributed.” So for the Panthers, the players on the field keep changing but the championships keep coming. “We have been very fortunate with the level of talent that has been in our program,” Trombetta said. “The program is improving and I consider us one of the top programs in the county. With the states it us up for grabs each year. There are a lot of good teams. We have seen some good teams come through and we have been fortunate in the tournaments.”

PHS rolls in state boys’ soccer opener By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Wayne Sutcliffe knows that soccer can be an unforgiving game. The long-time Princeton High boys’ soccer coach experienced that first-hand last year when his second-seeded Little Tigers were upset by 15th-seeded Manalapan in the opening round of the Central Jersey, Group IV state tournament. This year, as the No. 3 seed in Central Jersey, Group IV, Princeton was not going to take 14th-seeded Middletown South lightly. The Little Tigers scored twice in the closing minutes of the opening half and then produced three more goals in the second half to go on and post a 5-0 victory. Princeton advanced to play as the host to 11th-seeded Long Branch in the state sectional quarterfinals on Friday at 2 p.m. Montgomery, the No. 12 seed in Central Jersey, Group IV, advanced to the quarterfinals with a 1-0 victory at fifth-seeded South Brunswick. Jace Orvos scored the lone goal of the game with an assist from Charlie Rodgers. Nick Millett made 10 saves to pick up the winning decision in goal. The Cougars will play home to 13thseeded East Brunswick in the quarterfinals on Friday. In girls’ soccer state tournament play, ninth-seeded Princeton opened Central Jersey, Group IV play with a 7-2 victory at eighthseeded Edison. Colette Marciano scored three goals and Devon Lis contributed two goals to lead the Little Tigers, who were scheduled to play at topseeded Freehold Township on Thursday.

Before the half was over, Andrew Beamer would score the first of his three goals in the game to send Princeton into halftime with a 2-0 lead. “He’s been working on that for two years,” Sutcliffe said of Pompliano’s goal. “This year he hasn’t really hit a pill like that. All credit to Quentin for staying over it and getting it on frame. That was the biggest goal of the game.”

The two goals late in the half were more than enough for the Princeton defense, which posted its eighth shutout of the season. Patrick Jacobs made three saves in goal to gain the shutout. “Our defense, the key to it is the communication,” center back Noah Middlekauf said. “As long as we spend a lot of time talking and making each other aware of our surroundings that is when we are good to go. I like to talk to my teammates. It makes things easier for everybody if they know what is going on around them.” “We like to get our outside backs involved. At the same time we like to be smart with how we use them. We’re near the end of the season now so it is important that everyone understands where they are needed on the field.”

After losing in the opening round of the state tournament last year, Princeton came out focused and ready to play a solid game against Middletown South. The Little Tigers also bounced back nicely from a tough overtime loss to Pennington in the Mercer County Tournament semifinals. “It was definitely a tough loss to Pennington,” Middlekauf said. “We always plan to go far in the Mercer County Tournament and we were disappointed not to make the final. We just recently went to Group 4 and no team has really made a dent in the sectional final or state championship. So we’re focusing one game at a time on Group 4. “The thing about the state tournament is you have teams coming from all different conferences that we don’t see during the season. You just have to go into every game with a good attitude. For those of us who were there last year, we still remember. With that being said, last year is last year and this year is this year. We don’t really worry about that happened last year.” Princeton will now play Long Branch, which upset sixth-seeded West Windsor-Plainsboro South. With a victory, the Little Tigers would face either second-seeded Monroe or 10th-seeded Trenton in the sectional semifinals. “The seeds don’t matter, especially in Central 4,” Sutcliffe said. “Every team is a good team so you have to be really in that mentality where you are playing Cup final every time.” The offense came away with a big game in the victory on Tuesday, while Middlekauf and the defense were also up to the task. “Middlekauf has the presence,” Sutcliffe said. “He’s got verbal command that he is able to use because he sees the game and reads it very well on both sides of the ball. He and Ian Jacobs are the two center backs and they have to just keep getting better.”

MHS girls’ tennis team worked hard to win titles By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The Montgomery High girls’ tennis team fell victim to injuries a year ago, thus it finished short of its hopes for a state sectional championship. This year, the Cougars remained healthy throughout the post-season, which helped Montgomery capture the Central Jersey, Group IV state title and the Group IV state championship. Montgomery then was defeated by Holmdel in the Tournament of Champions semifinals at the Garden State Tennis Center in Edison. “It was great,” Mont-

gomery coach Raheel Saleem said of the Cougars’ season. “It was definitely something we worked hard for throughout the regular season, to get back to relevance since the year before we had a quick exit in sectionals. We had our second singles hurt her knee last year and losing a player of that caliber hurt us in the tournament.” This year the Cougars had no such injury worries. They captured the Central Jersey, Group IV title with a 5-0 decision over West Windsor-Plainsboro South. Montgomery then went on to knock off Ridgewood and Watchung Hills to win the Group IV title at Mercer

County Park in West Windsor. In the Tournament of Champions, Montgomery topped Kinnelon in the quarterfinals before falling to Holmdel, 3-2, in the semifinals. Holmdel was then defeated by Millburn in the Tournament of Champions final. “A lot of the girls knew which teams were going to be the toughest,” said Saleem, whose team finished the season with an 183 record. “Watchung Hills was fantastic this season with a freshman who was a game changer. Luckily we had a 5-star player come in at singles. I still believe we had the best 1-2 singles in the state and it will be good

The Cougars will graduate the sister duo of Amy and Ally Yan, who had an outstanding career as doubles players. But there should be enough talent on hand to make another run at a state title. “We will return four varsity players next year,” Saleem said. “Hopefully we will have some growth from the JV team and that will help fill in for losing Ally and Amy. We’re losing a second doubles player (Katie Parsons) as well. “(The Yan sisters) have

been a huge part of the success we have had. I told them the reason we have done so well is related directly to their success. They have been fantastic and great role models for the kids stepping up.” The Cougars reached the T of C semifinals in 2015, and after a year away, were back there again in 2017. Saleem is hoping that level of success becomes a regular occurrence. “I am hoping we can continue moving forward,” he said. “Ultimately, we’re just looking to have fun as much as we can, We want to win, but the girls are also interested in having fun and learning the game.”

Panthers fall in Prep B field hockey final By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

In her three years as the head field hockey coach at Princeton Day School, Heather Farlow has seen her program grow into one that now expects to be playing for championships every year. After helping the Panthers go from two victories to six victories in her first season, Farlow guided PDS to a 16-4 record and the state Prep B championship a year ago. This fall the team was right back in the state Prep B final, but PDS dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime decision to Montclair Kimberley Academy on Monday in Princeton. The Panthers had jumped to a 1-0 lead in the

first half on a goal by Sasha Sindhwani. MKA struck right back to tie the game, which stayed at 1-1 into overtime. The visiting Cougars scored off a corner with one second left in the first overtime to pull out the victory and the title. While the loss was a tough one, it was rewarding that the Panthers were making a second straight trip to the finals. “Overall, I think we had a good season,” said Farlow, whose team finished the year with a 12-6 record.” Last year I think we took everybody by surprise with how well we did. Once you have success people play you harder. Nothing is going to be easy. You’re going to have to continue to work for it.

“We’re pretty pleased to get back to the final. I’m competitive just like the girls are competitive and we’d like to come away with a win. But we are pleased we were in the championship.” The Panthers played well in the opening half and seemed to dominate much of the second half. But they could not convert on a second goal, even having a penalty stroke in both the second half and overtime. “I think we were fine at halftime,” Farlow said. “It’s a championship game. Everyone shows up for a championship game. We practice (penalty strokes) every day and it is unfortunate that they didn’t go in because those should be sure goals.”

A Showcase for Indies

Movies from around the world will be shown at the Princeton Independent Film Festival By Anthony Stoeckert

he Princeton Independent Film Festival is ready to make its mark. The festival was started by Sara McDermott, who ran it herself in 2015 and 2016. This year, McDermott is being joined by Ryan McDonald, chief operating officer, and Claire Elaine, chief creative officer, to create a twoday festival featuring screenings at three locations: Princeton University Women's Center, the Princeton Garden Theatre and Triumph Brewery, Nov. 9-10. "We are really in our first year of establishing our true identity and are rooting ourselves in the importance of our festival as a means to highlight women in filmmaking,"Elaine says. "In the future, we hope to build on that idea and also use the power of film to touch on subjects including environmental protection and the sustainment of the use of film in filmmaking." The festival will focus mainly on short films, but opening night will include a free screening of "Most Beautiful Island," the Grand Prize-winning feature at the South By Southwest Film Festival. The screening will include a Q&A with Ana Asensio, who wrote, directed, and stars in the film. Another feature, "One Year on a Bike," about Martijn Doolaard cycling from Amsterdam to Singapore, will be shown Nov. 10 at the Princeton Garden Theatre. Elaine says that as an international festival, the organizers received submissions from around the world, including one from a finalist from Iran, Hazhir As'adi, who submitted his film, "Blows With the Wind," which will be shown Nov. 10 at the Garden. "[He] was hoping for a submission waiver since he was not able to access his accounts online in Iran to submit a payment," Elaine says. "It's things like that that make you really understand the international community you are addressing as a festival. The films that were ultimately selected hold up to our now established standard of filming technique, acting, production and story. Although we do have a number of well-established films on the festival circuit, that does not affect our decision. If a film had no previous recognition, but met our standards and had a strong presence, it was included." The Nov. 9 program at the women's center will focus on films made by women about women's issues. They include a short, animated film by Canadian Lori Malépart-Traversy, which is billed as a humorous and instructive film about the female anatomy. That will be followed by "Hold On," a short by Scottish filmmaker Charlotte Scott Wilson about a cellist who has to overcome her fears in order to keep her spot in an orchestra. The first evening will wrap up with "Most Beautiful Island," made by Asensio, who was born in Spain and now lives in Brooklyn. Shot on Super 16 film, the movie is a psychological thriller about a young immigrant woman who's trying to survive while also trying to escape her past. Before her day is over, she ends up participating in a cruel game for the entertainment of the privileged. Screenings of movies categorized by themes will be featured Nov. 10, beginning with the theme "Relationsh*ts" at the Princeton Garden Theatre at noon. Next up will be a group of films based on the theme of "Meditations," followed by films fitting the theme "Half Way There." Films also will be screened at Triumph Brewery

Movies scheduled to be shown during the Princeton Independent Film Festival include (from top) "Enemies Within," "Lunch Time" and "Tough."

on Nov. 10. Themes for Triumph include "Before They Were Famous" and "Don't Bring Your Kids." "Since one of our goals is to ultimately bring light to women in film, both behind and in front of the camera, our first night is dedicated solely to that," Elaine says. "We are very excited to be hosted by the Princeton University Women's Center for this purpose and hope to maintain this relationship as we grow. As for the following day, our individual blocks were designed to give our festival attendees a number of cohesive groups that speak to one idea. Perhaps the subject matter differs greatly, but in each and every block, there is an underpinning motif that brings the films together. So it was really starting with the movies themselves and working backward.

We looked to them to define our themes." When asked to mention films that are standouts, Elaine noted the Oscar-nominated "Enemies Within," by French director Selim Azzasi, which will be shown at Triumph, Nov. 10. She also pointed out Student Academy Award winners "Nocturne in Black" and "Invention of Trust" and Cannes nominees, "Lunch Time", "Pepe Le Morse", "Under The Sun" and "Lejla", and less-known films such as "Telephone Me," a 16mm short film by British filmmaker Michael Demetriou.

MUSIC By Anthony Stoeckert

Shai Wosner will join Princeton Symphony Orchestra for a concert of Mozart music, Nov. 12 at Richardson Auditorium.

Bring on the Mozart!

Princeton Symphony Orchestra is putting the spotlight on the most famous composer of all

here isn’t a pop star, rock god or metal head who can compete with Mozart. More than two centuries after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s death, the composer’s music is known by anyone who’s ever listened to music, watched a movie, or seen a commercial. Popularity has not damaged his critical standing — try finding a classical musician who doesn’t love playing his music — and concerts of Mozart’s music continue to pack concert houses.

Princeton Symphony Orchestra will present an all-Mozart program Nov. 12 at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University campus. The concert will feature pianist Shai Wosner performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 12, K. 414. Also on the program is one of Mozart’s most famous works, “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” (“A Little Night Music”) and Symphony No. 29 in Major, K. 201. In talking about Mozart’s enduring star power, Wosner says his place in popular

culture has been sustained through such factors as his status as a child prodigy and the play and movie “Amadeus.” “But it is very important to remember that none of that would have mattered, in other words, people would have been unlikely to remember his feats as the child prodigy and playwrights and filmmakers would have not written about him with such reverence, if the music itself did not have such radiantly penetrating power into the human soul,” Wosner says. In talking Mozart’s operas, Wosner says they aren’t just about counts and their servants, but contain convincing portraits of their characters, and that all of Mozart’s works are similarly dramatic. “And their stories, including the less plausible ones, are always conveyed with such depth and brilliance that their impact is irresistible,” he says. “The same is true for other works, including the concertos. They are like mini operas in their own right and contain real dialogue and drama between the instruments.” He says the 12th concerto is one of the first Mozart wrote for himself to perform after moving to to Vienna. “[It’s] one in a string of concerto masterpieces that would cement his place in music history,” Wosner says. “It is rather intimate, written for a small orchestra of mostly strings and in fact Mozart himself allowed for it to be performed also as a chamber piece for piano and string quartet. So it is, in a sense, a combination of the brilliance of dialogue that is typical of Mozart’s concertos with tenderness and introspection of a more chamber work.” Wosner was born in Israel and began studying piano and composition at a young age. He studied at The Juilliard School, and is on the faculty at the Longy School of

Music in Boston. He and his family live in New York. He is known for his work on Schubert’s music, and this season launched his recital series, “Schubert: The Great Sonatas,” which he is performing in New York, Washington D..C., and throughout the United States and Japan. His most recent recording, “Impromptu” was released earlier this year on the Onyx label and features improvisations inspired by such composers as Beethoven, Schubert, George Gershwin and Charles Ives. Wosner has performed with Princeton Symphony Orchestra before and says he’s excited to team up again with Music Director Rossen Milanov, who will conduct the concert. “Rossen is a fantastic conductor and collaborator, and when the opportunity to do something with him [and] the Princeton Symphony came up it was naturally a very exciting idea,” Wosner says. Wosner says his life in music began with a piano that was in his family’s home, which he taught himself to play. “That was one reason, the other, speaking of Mozart, was having seen ‘Amadeus’ as a kid with my parents, three times,” he says. “In spite of a lot of historical inaccuracies, it actually does tell you a lot about Mozart and has a great soundtrack with some of the greatest pieces, including lesser-known ones.”

Princeton Symphony Orchestra will perform an all Mozart program, including Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 12 with Shai Wosner at Richardson Auditorium at Alexander Hall on the Princeton University Campus, Nov. 12, 4 p.m. Tickets cost $35$85; www.princetonsymphony.org; 609497-0020.

Ginny Brennan and her staff from the Open Air Theare have opened up a new home in Lambertville

or the past eight years, Ginny Brennan has been running the theater presentations at the Open Air Theatre at Washington Crossing State Park in Titusville. With artist directors Jordan Brennan (Ginny’s son) and Louis Palena, the company presented shows, mostly musicals, virtually every week beginning in May into October. The venue gave actors a place to perform and entertain audiences in an outdoor setting that could be wonderful under the right circumstances. But acting and singing outdoors also presents challenges, and after years of rainouts, wind, and cicadas louder than the actors, the group has settled into a brand-new, indoor theater. The Music Mountain Theater opened its doors in October with “Yeston & Kopit’s Phantom,” and the season will continue with “Hairspray,” running Nov. 3-19. The theater is located on Route 179 in Lambertville. The building is in what was a warehouse owned by Strober-Wright Roofing.

STAGE REVIEW By Bob Brown

‘Shakespeare in Love’ A play based on a movie that gets to the heart of what theater is all about

he Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey has mounted one of its most ambitious productions in years with “Shakespeare in Love,” on the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre stage through Nov. 12. Although Lee Hall adapted this play from the film of the same name, the screenplay was created by two stage veterans, Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard. In fact, its issues really are those of the theater, right down to the bones. On opening night, director Bonnie Monte choked up a bit. She admitted she has been more emotional about this work than others, because it gets at the heart of what is so special and unique about theater. In any theater performance, what we see on stage started when a writer sat alone at a desk and began to shape what would become magic. And that’s how the play opens, as Shakespeare (Jon Barker), alone in candlelight, struggles with opening lines. His writer’s block is loosened by kibbitzing from Kit Marlowe (Anthony Marble), a playwright who had already established his reputation with Tamburlaine the Great. But magic can happen only if the complex mix of producers and players and audiences comes together. The spark of inspiration is not enough to pull a rabbit out of the hat. How it all happens despite every impediment is a mystery, which is a major theme of “Shakespeare in Love.” As theatrical entrepreneur Philip Henslow (Edmond Genest) says to the moneylender Fennyman (Ames Adamson), “Allow me to explain about the theater business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.” So what to do? Nothing. “Strangely enough, it all turns out well. . . . It’s a mystery.” The love of the title is Viola de Lesseps (Whitney Maris Brown), daughter of a wealthy merchant, Sir Robert (David H. Littleton), who has arranged for her to marry the impoverished Lord Wessex (Marcus Dean Fuller). One might turn the title around as “In Love with Shakespeare,” which Viola is, both literally and literature-ly, after she hears lines from a Shakespeare sonnet. In one of many turns derived from Shakespearean plots, Viola disguises herself as “Thomas Kent” so she can audition for a part in a forthcoming Shakespeare play, “Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter.” The play is to have a pirate and a dog, because Queen Elizabeth (Erika Rolfsrud) likes plays to have a dog (debuting as “Spot” is Boston Terrier Dublin Delancy McFinnigan — with his own credits). Inspired by Viola, Shakespeare reworks his play into “Romeo and Juliet,” leaving dogs and pirates in their wake — for the time being. But its production is hampered along the way by a contretemps with Richard Burbage (David Andrew Macdonald), who is competing for another play, and

This is a theatrical scandal that leads Master of Revels Edmund Tilney (Colin McPhillamy) to threaten closing the play down for public indecency. To save his production, Shakespeare places a wager with the Queen that a play can show the true nature of love. And thereby hangs a tale, which brings the plot, the play, and the love to conclusion. This production has many characters, and many actors who double up on several roles. Brian Clinnin’s marvelous Globe-like set is often crammed to the rafters with actors and action — period-correct dances choreographed by Danielle Liccardo and sword fights (of course!) directed by Rick Sordelet. Music is another rich offering, with recorded performances augmented by onstage players of recorder, mandolin, and drum. Kris Kukul is music director The cast, the largest of recent Shakespeare Theatre offerings, is sublime. Standout performances include Barker as the intense, love-struck Bard, who has an inferiority complex next to Marlowe (also well played by Marble). Brown is fine as Shakespeare’s equally intense, stage-struck lover, who stands in for anyone ever bitten by the acting

bug. And Genest as Henslow and Adamson as Fennyman are the perfect comic foils. Although you don’t need a degree in English literature to appreciate the wit and humor of this play, you’ll get more of the “inside” jokes if you have a little background on the historical characters. For example, there’s a very funny line near the end of the play when the Queen asks young John Webster, who would go on to write The Duchess of Malfi, what part of Romeo and Juliet he liked best. I highly recommend checking out STONJ’s online “Know the Show Guide” before seeing the play. If you love theater, this production is a must. Under Monte’s unerring direction, and the incomparable forces of the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, it’s an absolute winner.

Shakespeare in Love continues at the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the Drew University campus, 36 Madison Ave., Madison, through Nov. 12. For tickets and information, go to www.shakespearenj.org or call 973-4085600.

An internet hall of famer Princeton resident Ira Fuchs is being honored for his groundbreaking work As a lifelong New York Yankees fan with a youthful obsession for Mickey Mantle, I have been a fan of only one hall of fame, the Baseball Hall of Fame. At the end of September, however, another hall of fame entered my consciousness, because a good friend of mine hit it out of the park — metaphorically and virtually. Ira Fuchs, longtime Princeton resident and former Princeton University vice president of computing and information technology, is among the 14 people who were inducted into the 2017 Internet Hall of Fame. According to the hall’s press release, inductees are from all over the world and have “contributed significantly to the internet’s inception, evolution and global growth . . . [and are] responsible for significant improvements in connectivity, key technical contributions and advancements that promoted the internet’s use. . . . [They] comprise influential engineers, evangelists, and entrepreneurs.” Who knew there was such a thing as the Internet Hall of Fame? It’s is a recognition program and virtual museum. It celebrates the living history of the internet and individuals whose extraordinary contributions have made the internet, its worldwide availability and use, and its transformative nature, possible. The Internet Society launched the Internet Hall of Fame in 2012. And according to the internet, the Internet Society is a non-profit established in 1992 to provide leadership in internetrelated standards, education, access, and policy, with its stated mission “to promote the open development, evolution, and use of the internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world.” And who knew that the guy with whom I shared office space in Nassau Hall in the 1990s was a Mickey Mantle among his internet colleagues? With only a very rudimentary knowledge of computer technology, I had no idea whatsoever about Fuchs’ accomplishments in the world of IT. I knew him as someone who: often wore baseball caps; had a wry sense of humor; spent a lot of time in front of a computer; was very well respected among his colleagues in spite of the fact he’s a nonPrinceton alumnus (bachelor and master’s degrees from Columbia University); and cheered up the office when his wife, youngest child Steven (then a toddler who grew up to be a Princeton alumnus), and the family dog came to visit. On several occasions, the unfamiliar (to me) word BITNET would waft out of his office into the shared reception space that we occupied. And it turns out that this BITNET thing was

Ira Fuchs is being inducted to the Internet Hall of Fame for his work on BITNET, a precursor to the modern Internet. the main reason Fuchs landed the hall of fame honor. The Internet Hall of Fame recognized Fuchs in the “Global Connectors Category,” applicable to individuals who have made significant contributions to the growth, connectivity, and use of the internet either on a global scale or within a specific region that resulted in global impact. The Internet Hall of Fame cited him for being the co-founder of BITNET, a precursor to the internet that offered many of the internet’s core services years before its commercialization. BITNET, an acronym for “Because It’s Time Network,” was established in 1981 between City University and Yale University as a tool for liberal arts scholars to exchange messages. This cooperative university computer network provided email, file transfer and instant messaging. When Ira led a computing center at City University of New York, he and Greydon Freeman, an IT administrator at Yale University, devised this virtual communications vehicle for academics. Before BITNET, scholarly exchanges usually involved months of delay waiting for the publication of

scholarly articles in journals. BITNET changed that dramatically, putting scholars in daily communication at zero cost to them. Fuchs, pursuing his goal of connecting every scholar in the world to every other scholar, worked tirelessly to expand BITNET to a network that grew to connect scholars at more than 1,400 universities in 49 countries that spanned the globe. BITNET laid the groundwork that gave universities the incentive to create the National Research and Educational Network, which evolved into the internet. Fuchs’ hall of fame award also cited other acronyms for which he is responsible. He is the co-creator of LISTSERV, the first networked list manager, and a founder of JSTOR, a non-profit dedicated to archiving and providing access to important scholarly journals. Is there life after becoming a hall of famer? Fuchs was retired before his honor and will remain so afterward, he said. After working 15 years at Princeton University (from 1985 to 2000) and developing the university’s website and working to connect the entire campus to the internet, he became a vice president and program officer at

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, working there from 2000 to 2010). Since 2010, he has been speaking and writing about a variety of technology connectivity issues, including how technology should be used to create a better learning environment for students — one that is personalized and individualized to the unique learning needs and styles of the student. He also serves on two corporate boards corporate boards, Ithaka and The Philadelphia Contributionship. He is president of BITNET, LLC , a company he created to do consulting on applications of technology in education. He takes courses online and at Princeton University to stay current with all the advances in computer science, and continues to so some programming. And best of all, he offers IraCare — analogous to a techy Dear Abby, to a small group of friends who may understand how bats connect with balls — but nothing about technology connections. Yes, I am an IraCare client, who often connects to Fuchs for help. By the way, Ira, I just sent you an email — my computer refuses to connect with my printer!

Nature art by students at D&R Greenway “The Stony Brook: Connecting Us,” a multi-media art exhibit by Hun School students, is on view in D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Olivia Rainbow Gallery through January 3. The Stony Brook, rippling from the Hun School to D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center in Green-

way Meadows Park, inspired art teacher Stacy Collingham to bring her students to this body of water for inspiration. Many of the students had not previously experienced the Stony Brook, even though the brook is on the school’s property. It serves as a re-

minder of Richard Louv’s best-selling book, “Last Child in the Woods,” about children’s spending too little time in nature. The students inspirations were varied, with one young artist choosing to sit in the water to achieve his nature study. The Olivia Rainbow Gallery,

founded and funded by Chris and Leslie Kuenne, honors the memory of their 5-year-old daughter, Olivia, who loved nature and art. The address is 1 Preservation Place, Princeton.Hours are Mondays through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information: drgreenway.org or 609-924-4646.

HEALTH MATTERS

The Week of Friday, November 3, 2017

Nasal suctioning can help relieve RSV symptoms in children

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common illness among infants and young children, especially during the fall and winter months when cooler temperatures drive people inside, allowing germs to spread quickly. And though the virus can be distressing for parents and little ones alike, most infections will go away on their own in a week or two. In fact, updated protocols for diagnosing and treating RSV call for a lessis-more approach focused on reducing symptoms, and minimizing unnecessary testing and the over prescription of antibiotics. Nonetheless, if your child is showing signs of RSV, or you are concerned about respiratory symptoms, consult a pediatrician or seek emergency care.

Premature infants at greater risk Almost all children will have had an RSV infection by their second birthday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and most of the time the virus will cause a mild, cold-like illness. In some cases though, RSV can lead to more severe illnesses such as: • Bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) •Pneumonia (infection of the lungs) Those at greater risk for severe illness include: • Premature infants • Very young infants, especially those 6 months and younger • Children younger than 2 years old with chronic lung disease • Children younger than

2 years old with chronic heart disease • Children with weakened immune systems • Children who have neuromuscular disorders, including those who have difficulty swallowing or clearing mucus Cold-like symptoms Symptoms of RSV include coughing, sneezing, fever and wheezing. Infants may exhibit irritability and fatigue. More serious symptoms include: • High fever that does not resolve in two to three days • Thick nasal discharge • Dehydration (infants are not producing wet diapers) • Trouble breathing Signs that your infant may be having trouble breathing include: • Flaring or widening of the nostrils • Grunting when trying to breathe • Tightening and squeezing the muscles under the rib cage to try and get more air in and out the lungs • High-pitched whistling sound each time they breathe out • Trouble drinking • Bluish color around lips and fingertips because they are not getting enough oxygen If your child exhibits these symptoms, call your pediatrician immediately or seek emergency care. Nasal suctioning first line treatment approach In general, pediatricians can often diagnose bronchiolitis with a simple physical exam. Years ago, doctors may have also recommended chest X-rays, but

today X-rays are typically not necessary to diagnose normal cases of RSV or bronchiolitis. When it comes to treating RSV and bronchiolitis, nasal suctioning to remove mucus from the nose and relieve congestion is the recommended first line approach in most instances. Your pediatrician may also suggest acetaminophen to control fever, and clear liquids to prevent dehydration. Still, some children may need to be treated in a hospital for breathing problems or dehydration. Oxygen and medicine to open up the airways can help with breathing issues and intravenous fluids can treat dehydration. Stop the spread Children are often exposed to RSV in school or child-care centers. The virus is highly contagious and can spread when someone coughs or sneezes. Infection can occur when you get droplets from the cough or sneeze in your eyes, nose or mouth, or if you touch a surface that has the virus on it, like a doorknob or a toy, and then touch your face before washing your hands. The virus can survive for many hours on hard surfaces such as tables and crib rails. Additionally, people infected with RSV are usually contagious for 3 to 8 days. To protect your child and help prevent the spread of the virus, the CDC recommends taking the following precautions: • Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, and help young children do the same. If soap and water are not available, use hand sani-

Dr. Alicia Brennan tizer. • Keep your hands off your face and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. • Avoid close contact with sick people. Avoid

kissing, and do not share cups or eating utensils with people who have cold-like symptoms. • Cover your cough and sneezes. Throw your tissue in the trash after using it. • Clean and disinfect surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, frequently. • Stay home and keep your child home if you or they are sick. The Center for Emergency Care at University Medical Center of Princeton provides emergency care for children each year. Pediatric patients are quickly evaluated by a team of board certified emergency medicine physicians, physician assistants and specially trained nurses. Pediatricians from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) are on site at

the hospital 24/7 for emergency consultations, and a pediatrician from CHOP is in the Emergency Department every day from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., during the hours when children visit most frequently. In addition, the Emergency Department offers an area specifically designated for infants, children and adolescents who require acute care. To find a pediatrician with Princeton HealthCare System, go to www.princetonhcs.org or call 888-7427496.

Princeton-Blairstown Center honors David McAlpin Jr.

Reverend David McAlpin Jr., Princeton University Class of 1950 and Honorary Trustee of the Princeton-Blairstown Center, was awarded the 2017 Frank Broderick Award at the PrincetonBlairstown Center’s Fall Fundraiser, Soirée Under the Stars on Oct. 13. The Frank Broderick Award is given to an individual who demonstrates a deep commitment to social justice, compassion, and selflessness, qualities that supported Dr. Broderick, Princeton University Class of 1943, in his efforts to achieve racial integration of the Princeton Summer Camp and to mobilize those who advocated for racial integration of Princeton University in the 1940s. Jane Fremon, Princeton-Blairstown Center advisory council member and head of Princeton Friends School, introduced McAlpin in front of the 175 guests who attended the annual event. She recalled her personal memories of him through the years, saying he was “universally adored.” A Princeton native, McAlpin received a master’s of divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in 1953. After graduation, he settled in Princeton with his wife, Joan Rockefeller

him. In 1957 McAlpin was installed as the first associate pastor of the historically black congregation. “I don’t see anything unusual about my new position,” he told the local press at the time. “It’s quite natural for me, quite natural for the people of the Witherspoon Church, and quite natural for Christians.” In his role, McAlpin became keenly aware of discriminatory housing practices affecting African American citizens who were beginning to purchase homes in all-white neighborhoods. He was soon determined to establish an integrated housing development in the Princeton area. His efforts helped to establish two acclaimed integrated housing developments: “Glen Acres” in West Windsor Township off Alexander Road and “Maplecrest” at Dempsey Avenue and Walnut Lane in Princeton. In 1970, he and his family moved to Detroit, where he served as a pastor working on civil rights and establishing affordable housing organizations. In the early 1980s, he and his family returned to the Princeton area where he helped found the Trenton chapter of Habitat for Humanity in 1986 and served as President of the Board until 2012. In 2015, he received the Vivian Award for Community Service from the Princeton Area Community Foundation. He was also honored by the Witherspoon Presbyterian Church and the Robeson House Committee in 2015.

real estate news Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Fox & Roach, REALTORS®/Trident Hold 22nd Annual Community Service Day Giving Back Sales associates and employees of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, REALTORS®/The Trident Group volunteered on October 5th to lend a hand across the Tri-State area at more than 250 nonprofit organizations for their 22nd annual Community Service Day. Volunteers from the Princeton Home Marketing Center (pictured here) spent the day at the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, in Ewing, sorting and loading food onto vehicles for distribution. Each fall, the Tri-State area’s largest real estate brokerage closes its doors for the company-wide Annual Community Service Day so that sales associates and employees can spend the day at local nonprofits helping to paint, repair, stock food banks, and cook meals to help the less fortunate in their communities. “Community Service Day is the heart of Fox & Roach Charities,” explains Fox & Roach Charities President Kassie Erb. “This annual service day makes a difference in all of our lives, volunteers and recipients alike. We are pleased to be able to continue to offer more than the financial support we donate, through volunteer, hands-on help with all of their much needed projects and tasks,” explains Erb. Fox & Roach Charities, a charitable foundation sponsored by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, REALTORS®, is committed to addressing the needs of children and families in stressful life circumstances. Fox & Roach Charities has contributed over $5.5 million, as well as 201,000 volunteer hours, since its inception, to more than 250 local community organizations in the Greater Philadelphia and Tri-State areas. One hundred percent of every dollar received is donated back into the communities we serve. The majority of funds are raised through voluntary contributions from sales associates and employees through Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach/Trident real estate transactions and payroll donations to Fox & Roach Charities. In addition, sales associates and employees make substantial contributions of time and effort to local charities in need. For
