District calls for state aid, tax levy cap reforms By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
Amid discussions on the $128.9 million budget for the 2018-19 school year proposed earlier this month, the Hillsborough Township Board of Education unanimously approved an emergency resolution calling for changes to how the local fair share of state aid is calculated. Crafted during the March 27 meeting, the emergency resolution petitions the New Jersey School Board Association’s Delegate Assembly, as well as its legislators and the state commissioner of education, to advocate
for a change to the law in order to permit an exception of the 2 percent cap for districts that are taxing under the local fair share. “While we recognize no changes will be made immediately, the resolution shares our concerns regarding the fiscal pressures that this board is under, as costs that are out of district control continue to rise well above two percent each year while our state aid continues to remain flat,” Superintendent Dr. Jorden Schiff said. Following the introduction of the proposed 2018-19 budget, school board member Jean Trujillo lamented the district’s tight
budgetary constraints due to the 2 percent tax levy cap and a lack of proportionate funding from the state. “I don’t think the general public understands - I mean, I didn’t when I sat on the other side,” Trujillo said. “I see the budget and there’s no money. Everything’s taken up by the must-haves and we can’t allocate money.” District officials said they were not necessarily advocating for districts like Hillsborough to raise taxes as much as they wanted, but rather to give those districts more breathing room in their budgets. Since the 2012-13 school bud-
get, the state aid provided to the Hillsborough Township Public School District has hovered at approximately $25 million, which is approximately $1 million less than it was in the 2009-10 school year. That stagnation, officials said, doesn’t help the district when costs rise and the amount the district can raise through taxation stays within the 2 percent cap. “This is an unsustainable path and we cannot continue to reduce teachers, in order to keep [the budget] balanced,” Schiff said. “While the Hillsborough Board of Education is extremely cognizant of being fiscally responsible,
we also must continue to provide our students with dynamic programming that this community expects.” Back in 2010, a majority of school districts throughout the state moved their board of education elections to November. The move was made with the concession that voters would no longer vote to approve a proposed budget if the tax levy remained below the 2 percent cap. At that time, communities were in favor of the change, since merging school board elections with those held in November

Local girls field hockey program gears up for third season By Andrew Martins Managing Editor
A different sport with sticks and balls is gearing up for its coming season this spring, as members of the Hillsborough Jr. Raiders Field Hockey Feeder Program gears up for its third year of outdoor play for area girls. As baseball teams throughout the country get ready for the summer, Tara Romano, the program’s director, is working hard for a sport that’s only recently begun getting its hooks into girls as young as 5 or 6 years old. “We did see a lot of girls last year coming from zero sport experience and they found a total love for the sport,” she said. “A lot of girls have made friendships through this program that they might not have made otherwise.” For the uninitiated, field hockey can simplistically be described as a combination of soccer and hockey that has players using a stick to move and eventually shoot a ball into the opposing team’s goal. The Hillsborough program started back in 2015 when then Girl Scout Emily Van Pelt began offering field hockey clinics as part of her Gold Award requirement. As those clinics gained traction and the community saw an interest in its youth, discussions surrounding a potential township league began to take shape. Fast forward three years later and the Jr. Raiders’ field hockey outfit remains a unique characteristic of the township as the only functioning league for the sport in Somerset County. In order to jump that hurdle, the program joined into a collaborative effort with the NJ/PA Field Hockey League, which is situated in Warren County. Though many of the league’s teams are located in municipalities like Fords, Lebanon and Readington, Romano said the league was more than willing to coordinate
travel dates with the Hillsborough teams and keep them playing close to the township. Romano, whose daughter plays in the league and who herself played in high school, said the league has been a success as a feeder program, which encourages girls to join the middle school and high school teams. As such, the Hillsborough High School field hockey program provides special camps and clinics for the younger girls. Some of the schools’ players have also come on to help parent-coaches as assistants. “We did have the ability to add a middle school team, so now the program is fluid from kindergarten to 12th grade,” Romano said. “Last year, the middle school team had a great season, so we’re now starting to see the fruits of our labor at that level.” With an eye on possible expansions with more teams on the horizon, the recent announcement that an indoor and outdoor sports complex would be built in town has Romano wondering where the program will fit at the facility. Described as a “multi-sport athletic facility designed to serve participants in sports leagues, skill-building clinics/camps, and competition as well as sports performance training, pay-toplay recreation experiences, and youth development activities” to be built next to Mountain View Park, the Apex Sports & Events complex was announced earlier this month as a potential boon for local sports programs. The facility will feature three outdoor synthetic turf fields for sports like soccer, lacrosse, and football, while the indoor complex will be more for basketball, volleyball and futsal. Team-training areas will also be available. Township officials said they worked with Apex to ensure the facility would be available to the community and the township’s youth first. One of the contemporary outdoor turf fields will provide 400 hours of reserved prime See PROGRAM, Page 3A

Freeholders to fund second armed officer at Somerset County Vo-Tech High School County freeholders announced their intention to make funds available for a second armed school resource officer at the Somerset County Vocational & Technical High School in Bridgewater Township. Somerset County Freeholder Director Patrick Scaglione and Freeholder Mark Caliguire announced the move, citing the Parkland, Fla. shooting on Feb. 14, as well as other incidents
throughout the country. “The shooting at Parkland and the senseless loss of life were appalling and demand action by elected officials at all levels of government,” Scaglione said. “The presence of well-trained law enforcement officials at our Vo-Tech school is well worth the investment to keep our students and faculty safe.” The move comes after Scaglione and Caliguire met with Vo-

Aid Continued from Page 1A eliminated costs associated with going to the polls in April. Nearly eight years after its passage, school board member Greg Gillette said changes to the tax levy cap may be necessary in the future. “The tax levy cap is not designed for growing towns that are adding ratables - it’s designed for towns that are already built out,” Gillette said. “I think there is some legitimacy to changing the tax levy cap - as painful for me as it is to say that - but I think the resistance will be that there are mechanisms to go above the tax levy cap.” Under state law, voters get a say on their local school district’s budget if it exceeds the tax cap. In the event that it does, officials would have to present a ballot referendum for the additional funds that November. If the referendum passes, those funds are not made available to the district until the following January,
which is months into the budget year. Schiff said a referendum cannot be used to raise money for teaching staff members or “thorough and efficient” parts of the budget, which include curriculum and paying staff. Schiff said the district will likely need to go to the ballots for a construction referendum, due to existing needs for work on the schools’ HVAC systems and controls, roof repairs, boilers and other items. “Since I’ve been on this board off and on since 2002, budgetary constraints have continuously made it nearly impossible for us to do the maintenance that we should do in a preventative sense and we’ve always had to be reactionary to our problems,” school board member Christopher Pulsifer said. Though the emergency resolution originally pointed to that metric to determine potential funding adjustments, Gillette said the local fair share equation used to calculate state aid should be changed.
“We’re quite a bit under the local fair share and that’s the main driver of why we’ll never see an increase in state aid. The state won’t give more aid when you’re under your fair share,” Gillette said. According to officials, the district was taxing approximately $6.7 million less than the local fair share last year. That figure, Schiff said, puts the district on an “unsustainable path” that would make budgeting more difficult in the coming years. The proposed 2018-19 budget includes the reduction of four teachers at Hillsborough High School and one transitional primary teacher. “One of the things that we did to make this [proposed] budget balanced is to strip contingencies,” Schiff said. “That’s very hard to do. You can’t do that every year.”
The Hillsborough Township Parks and Recreation Department currently allows the program to use lacrosse practice fields and the outfield of a softball field owned by the township for its practices and games. “It’s a hope of ours, but we’re not sure if [the facility is] fashioned for field hockey.” Romano said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

aid is hurting -education

To the editor:
I am a member of the n Hillsborough Township ; School Board. The opina ions expressed here are my own. They are neither auo thorized by nor do they ex. press the views or opinions of the Hillsborough Towne ship School Board. Do you remember the state aid cuts to Hillsborough for the 2010-11 school year? We lost $5 million , and it was devastating. My d now high school freshman n was in second grade then. e For the last 7 years, our state aid has not recovered. Not only has state aid been n flat for 7 years, the state s gives Hillsborough $1 mil. lion less state aid than it did 0 in 2009-10! On March 15, Hillsborough learned next year’s state aid would again g be flat. t Hillsborough provides d a first rank education for its children because of our dedicated teachers and s staff. But, with mandated 1 and contractual expenses outpacing the 2 percent cap on the tax levy, we need help. The community can advocate for our children by writing to our governor and state legislators requesting some increase in state aid to Hillsborough for 2018-19. Please note that Hillsborough is the only district in Somerset County with flat aid. Governor Phil Murphy, P.O.

Weakening the
political divide To the editor: Recently, I experienced a political debate — something that at this point in time everyone can relate to given the current political climate — and it was extremely frustrating. Nowadays politics is such a tough topic, and it has become something that many people are uncomfortable discussing, when it should be something people feel free to discuss. In the debate I witnessed, there were many different ethnicities, genders and political affiliations, but the one thing that stood out to me the most was the lack of listening by everyone.
It was frustrating because there was no attempt from either side, liberal or conservative, to listen or understand what the opposition was saying. I witnessed the debate go into numerous circles over numerous different topics. Both sides repeated the same things over and over, arguing the same points with no improved or counter arguments, unable to recognize that they were not able to remotely fluster the other side. This small instance of a lack of listening or even a slight attempt at understanding is exactly why there is such a large political divide in our nation as a whole. When I was asked what I thought, I could not even offer any insight or opinion because I was so disgusted. On every level, we need more unity. Without understanding, the political divide will only get stronger and stronger. The breakdown of the divide needs to start with the people who the spotlight is on the most: our national government leaders and representatives. From there, whether it is state government, local government or a friendly discussion, we need to listen more. Listening is key, and will break down the barrier between the liberal and conservative sides one debate at a time. I encourage everyone to just listen and see where that takes us.

Illustrations by children's author Grace Lin are on view at Princeton Day School By Anthony Stoeckert Grace Lin's illustration "Swoosh," from her 2007 book "Lissy's Friends," is featured in an exhibit at Princeton Day School.
race Lin always has loved children’s books. When she was in elementary school, her class projects would take the form of books. “We’d study about the Vikings and other people would make a Viking ship or a Viking hat and I’d make a book about the Vikings,” Lin says. “Or if we were studying about By Bob Brown clouds, I’d make a book about clouds when everybody else was making cardboard dioramas with cotton balls. I always loved books and always loved making them.” She loved it so much, she makes books as a living. Lin has written and illustrated picture books, as well as novels for young readers, including the Newbery Honor winner “Where the Mountain Meets the Moon” and “When the Sea Turned to Silver,” which was a finalist for the National Book Award. Lin’s art is on view in the exhibit “A Brick Road Worth Following” at the Princeton Day School’s Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery, through April 26. The exhibit coincides with a visit Lin is making to the school as part of the “Imagine the Possibilities” artist-inresidency program. The exhibit features illustrations from Lin’s picture books, written between 1999 and 2011, with a lot of the works being from books published since 2008. Looking at her drawings on their own, as opposed to part of a book, creates a different kind of experience, Lin says. “For me, the art is for the books,” she says. “So the real art is the entire book because the pictures are how they all come together and make a story. Putting it in an exhibit like this was very interesting because that’s really not how I conceived it — just looking at one drawing by itself — it’s supposed to be all the art together. But laugh. I think it's fascinating because I think One of her challenges was her it helps kids see how they could look illustrations were based on her family, at each element and see how it makes and publishers didn't have stories about a whole. Asian-American people to complement “Some pieces of art might not work her drawings. that well as a single piece of art but “I would get lot of really nice when you put it in context with the rest postcards and nice feedback but no one of the art, it makes a beautiful story. I would ever hire me for a book for years think that will be a really great things and years,” she says. for kids to learn and look at.” One day, she got a call from an Lin’s childhood love of books led to editor who had high praise for her her going to art school with the goal of illustrations, but that editor also told becoming a children’s book illustrator. her there wasn’t a story to match her “When I came out of art school I work. This was around 1996 or 1997. found it was really hard to get a book “The truth is back then, nobody — as all artists find,” she says with a was writing any stories that had Asian
characters,” Lin says. “The editors were seeing my work with all these Asian characters, and they couldn’t find anything that matched my art. So the editor said to me, ‘We really like your art and I thought maybe you might have a story that goes with your art. Do you have a story?’ And I said, ‘Yes I do.’” Actually, she didn’t, but after five years of trying to break into children’s book publishing, Lin wasn't going to turn down the opportunity. She wrote a story and reworked it several times. “Once I tried writing, I found out how much I loved it,” she says. “How much I love writing and illustration,
creating your own content; and I find now, most people know me as an author, rather than an illustrator.” One thing she wanted to do with her career was to make art that meant something to her. “When you’re in art school you have very noble visions,” she says. “What was really important to me, and still is, I was doing a lot of art that was based around my family and my family being Asian. It wasn’t so much that I was all up for becoming an AsianAmerican storyteller, I just wanted to do stories that were important to me — real-life stories of my life. Since I was Asian American, that was what came out.” In 2016, “When the Sea Turned Silver,” Lin's novel for kids ages 9 to 12, was a National Book Award finalist. As part of that honor, the book’s cover illustration was displayed at the White House, where she was recognized as a “Champion of Change for Asian American and Pacific Islander Art and Storytelling.” Lin got to visit the White House, and while she didn't get a personal audience with President Barack Obama, she did get to shake his hand. She also got a memento — a package of chocolate kisses with the presidential seal and Obama’s signature. The kisses themselves are wrapped in blue foil with silver stars. Her 5-year-old daughter wanted them, but Lin turned down that request. “I have them on the highest shelf in the room in the house,” she says. “I said, ‘Those are kisses from the president. I’ll buy you other Hershey Kisses, you can’t eat those. Those are the president’s kisses.’”
“A Brick Worth Following” is on view at the Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery at Princeton Day School, 650 Great Road, Princeton, through April 26. Hours: Mon.-Fri. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. when school is in session and by appointment on weekends. For more information, go to www.pds.org or call 609-924-6700.

IN CONCERT
By Anthony Stoeckert
She’s All About That Rock ’N’ Roll Palmyra Delran is bringing her band to Randy Now’s Man Cave Palmyra Delran’s love of rock ’n’ roll began when she was a kid. She was born in Princeton, but her family moved to Spain when she was very young, before moving back to Jersey, in Collingswood, where she went to high school. “We couldn’t do without the Jersey thing,” Delran says. She had a friend who lived a few doors down, and who had five older brothers who were big music fans. “I would go over there and they played the Stones for me and the Kinks,” Delran says. “I got my education from these brothers of my friend. A lot of my friends were into the Osmonds, and I was like, ‘I want the Stones.’” That love of rock ’n’ roll never went away. Delran started playing instruments and writing songs. She was a member of the 1990s-era band The Friggs, has played in other bands and released her first solo release, a six-song EP “She Digs the Ride,” in 2008. She followed that up in 2013 with the album “You Are What You Absorb.” Delran also tours and will bring her band to Randy Now’s Man Cave in Bordentown, April 14. The show will feature songs from her first two solo releases, along with some new songs and perhaps some older tunes as well. One possibility is a Friggs song, “I Thought You Said That You Were Gonna Kill Yourself,” which she recently rerecorded for her next album, “Come Spy With Me,” which is scheduled for a release in the summer. “It was my guys that wanted to do it,” Delran says of the new version of her old song. “We’d been playing it for a while and they were like, ‘We have to record this again.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t want to, it’s 20 years old.’ They
Palmyra Delran is set to release her third solo album this summer and is bringing her band to Bordentown. really wanted to do it, so I love my guys and we did it. It came out great, it’s a different version from the Friggs version, so we’re pretty happy with it.” Those guys in her band are bass player Michael Lynch; guitarist Richard DevGreene; and drummer Mark Brotter. The lineup is classic garage band, and Delran says her live concerts are all about rock ’n’ roll. “I look at live shows as a very different thing than writing or recording,” she says. “I can have this really derpressing song and it’s fine to write it, and maybe it’s OK
to record it. But when you’re doing gigs, you want to entertain people. And in my genre, people just want to rock.” The Rolling Stones were one of the bands that sparked her love of rock ‘n’ roll, and a song from “You Are What You Absorb” references one of the band’s founding members — Brian Jones, whose drug use led to him being fired from the band in June of 1969. He was found dead in a swimming pool less than a month later. Delran says her song, “You’re My Brian Jones,” is a metaphor and isn’t really about Brian Jones. “When somebody is such a difficult human being, another person gets obsessed with that person,” she says of the tune. “And even if they know they shouldn’t be with the person but they’re still obsessed, it’s a difficult situation. A lot of people have told me they’ve been the Brian Jones character and they’ve been the other character too. I like that it spans the definition of who is who.” Among Delran’s fans is Steven Van Zandt, longtime guitarist in Bruce Springsteen’s E. Street Band. In 2008, Van Zandt chose her song “Baby Should Have Known Better” as his weekly “Coolest Song in the World” for his Underground Garage show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. “Oh my God, I couldn’t believe it actually because I was such a fan of his,” Delran says of the nod from Little Stevie. “I always heard he liked the Friggs, then he came up to me at one of our Friggs reunion shows and he was like, ‘Hey are you guys gonna stay together?’ I was like, ‘No, we’re just doing this reunion.’ “I told him I had a solo record coming and he said, ‘I want it.’ So I gave it to him and he dug it, and I’m grateful he’s been a champion of mine for the past however many years. He’s fantastic, he’s one of the coolest guys I’ve ever known. And not just because I work with him, he’s a fantastic dude.” Van Zandt has a reputation for supporting young musicians, and Delran attests to that. “His heart is so in the right place,” Delran says. “He sees no difference in big bands, little bands, he gives everybody a chance. I can’t believe somebody this cool is actually doing it; he walks it like he talks it.” It seems like Delran is walking the walk and talking the talk as well. “I try to,” she says. “I don’t know how to do it any other way. I’ve had a lot of people say, ‘If you do this, you’ll get really big,’ and it’s like, ‘But I don’t want to do that.’ So I’ll do what I do and whatever happens, happens.” Palmyra Delran will perform at Randy Now’s Man Cave, 134 Farnsworth Ave., Bordentown City, April 14, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $15; www.mancavenj.com; 609-424-3766.

MUSIC
By Anthony Stoeckert
The Sounds of Cuba, In Princeton Two Cuban artists are playing concerts at McCarter in April McCarter Theatre is bringing the music of Cuba to Princeton. The theater is presenting two concerts by Cuban artists this month, beginning with the Chucho Valdes Trio, April 12 at McCarter’s Matthews Theatre. Valdes is a pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader who has won six Grammys and three Latin Grammys. In 1973, he formed a group, Irakere, which combined jazz, rock, classical and traditional Cuban rhythms. The concert also will feature Colombian harpist Edmar Castaneda and Grégoire Maret on the chromatic harmonica as an opening act. “Chucho Valdés has been the most influential figure in the evolution of Latin and Afro-Cuban jazz since — well, I think it’s safe to say, forever,” says William W. Lockwood, McCarter’s special programming director. “His latest project is Jazz Batá, which he will play at McCarter joined by Yelsey Heredia on bass and Dreiser Durruthy Bombale on percussion and voice. Valdes describes the repertoire of Jazz Bata as almost all new music, representing both a ‘look forward and a closing of pending business,’ since the music was originally created in 1972 and its roots stem from his legendary Afro-Cuban jazz-rock ensemble Irakere.”
On April 24, pianist Robert Fonseca will perform at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre. “Fonseca already dominates the ‘new Cuban scene,’ and his influence extends well beyond his own music making as the artistic director of Cuba’s Jazz Plaza Festival in Santiago, Cuba’s second-largest city,” Lockwood says. “‘Innovative’ is probably the best word to describe his sound, which lies at the crossroads of jazz, traditional Cuban music, and soul — all faithful to his Afro-Cuban roots. His latest CD release, ‘ABUC,’ is dedicated to the island he calls home — it’s Cuba spelled backwards, after all — and the album incorporates elements of the island’s traditions such as contradanza, mambo, danzon and bolero, all infused with the spirit of the ‘descarga jam’ and even hip-hop.” Lockwood saw the opportunity to brings these artists to McCarter after the United States re-established diplomatic ties with the nation in 2014. In 2015, Lockwood visited Cuba, and followed that visit with a tour of Cuba with McCarter staff, donors, and patrons sampling the rich local culture, history, and artistry that had previously been offlimits to visitors from the United States. “The arts are booming in Cuba,” Lockwood says. “So many world-class graphic artists, musicians, dance com-
panies and more are at work. They are all making important statements. I’ve been proud to curate a collection of Cuban artists here at McCarter over the past few years, with Lizst Alfonso Dance Company, The National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba, Chucho Valdés and Roberto Fonseca only a few of the artists I’ve been able to have visit with us, and I’m committed to continuing these relationships in the future, not only here at McCarter, but through my recent Cuban Lecture Series at the Princeton Adult School, for example.” Lockwood says he’s lucky to be able to have visited Cuba twice and can’t wait to go back. “For those who can’t make it,” he says, “I welcome you to McCarter to see and hear a little bit for yourselves.” The Chucho Valdes Trio will perform at McCarter Theatre, 91 University Place, Princeton, April 12, 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $48-$62. Roberto Fonseco will perform at McCarter, April 24, 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $56. For more information, go to www.mccarter.org.

Princeton University Concerts announces 2018-19 slate The series’ 125th season will include lots of music and a residency by Gustavo Dudamel
By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor
When Marna Seltzer became the director of Princeton University Concerts in September 2010, she envisioned a series that not only presented exciting programming exploring new areas of classical and chamber music, but also an organization that responded to its community and became a part of that community. With the announcement of its 2018-19 season last week, it would seem that Princeton University Concerts has achieved just that. It is a season featuring new initiatives, including a residency by one of the hottest conductors around, a new series showcasing musicians from around the world, and a special event concert by Bobby McFerrin. There also, of course, will be the concerts - the classic series, Performances Up Close Series, and two shows for kids and families. It adds up to what seems like a banner 125th anniversary season for Princeton University Concerts, though Seltzer said there wasn’t a plan for all of these elements to come together for the milestone. “The process has been a lot more organic, and it’s been rooted in trying to respond to the community and trying to respond to what people want, and also trying to go in new areas that create a bigger community,” Seltzer said. “It’s incredibly satisfying to see that happen.” One of the season’s hallmarks is PUC’s first artist-in-residence program, with Gustavo Dudamel, the Venezuelan violinist and conductor who is the conductor for Venezuela’s famed Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, and also is the music and artistic director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. “We talked about having an artist-in-residence for a long time and have explored a number of different options,” Seltzer say. “But again, I did not go into the planning saying, ‘We want to have Gustavo Dudamel do the residence.'” Instead, in thinking about PUC’s 125th season, Seltzer looked at the group’s archives and noticed that during its first 40 or 50 years, the series was a destination for major orchestras. PUC’s history includes Leopold Stokowski conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra, as well as regular visits by the New York Philharmonic. Seltzer considered bringing in an orchestra to perform, but then decided against it, partly because of all the orchestra concerts that happen in Princeton, and because many PUC subscribers also go to orchestra concerts in Philadelphia and New York. “It just didn’t seem to be something that was going to distinguish us in the way I try to do with all the programs,” Seltzer said. “The next leap was to think, ‘Well if we can have any orchestra that might fit that bill, what would it be?'” That led to her reaching out to the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra several years ago. Seltzer was talking with Dudamel’s manager, and found out the conductor was interesting in engaging with the Princeton campus. “It seemed like the idea of doing an extended residency like this, which he’s never done before, was something that was on his mind,” Seltzer said. “So the conversations went from there.” The residency will involve three visits to the Princeton campus by Dudamel and a concert series, curated by Dudamel, coinciding with those visits. The concert feature musicians who are associated with Dudamel. On Dec. 2, The Simon Bolivar

Gustavo Dudamel will curate a series of concerts and conduct Princeton University’s orchestra and glee club as part of his residency with Princeton University Concerts. String Quartet will perform a programming tied to the them, “Art & the Americas.” Dudamel will bring to Richardson Auditorium a string quartet consisting of principals from the orchestra. On Jan. 7, 2019, musicians from the Los Angeles Philharmonic will perform a program exploring “Art & Faith,” which will include a new work by Juri Seo, as well as music by Mozart and Arvo Part. On April 23, 2019, Ensemble Berlin, featuring members of the Berlin Philharmonic, will perform a program that will include a new work by Steven Mackey, as well as music by Wagner and Schubert. The final concerts of the residency will feature the Princeton University Orchestra and the Princeton University Glee Club, conducted by Dudamel. There will be two performances of a program featuring music by Schubert, as well as Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet” and Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The first concert will take place April 26, 2019, at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University campus. It will be fundraiser for a new education program created and inspired by Dudamel, allowing Princeton students to continue teaching private music lessons in Trenton. The second performance will take place April 27, 2019, at Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton. This free concert will include a multimedia presentation to accommodate “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Dudamel’s residency also will see him talking with seminar students, and making several visits to Trenton to work with students. “We’ve tried to be as collaborative as we can, but we really have not done something that’s so multifaceted on campus before,” Seltzer said. “But I’ve wanted to, and this really gives us the chance to work with a lot of different partners.” Those partners include the Princeton University Art Museum, the Center for Human Values and the Woodrow Wilson School. “The campus-wide engagement is going to be a really special feature — for him and for us,” Seltzer said. “He’s never done anything like this before.” The other new element for PUC’s 125th season is the Crossroads series, which grew out of the Performances Up Close intimate chamber concerts. Crossroads aims to bring artists together from around the world to perform chamber music concerts. Seltzer said one of the
motivations behind Crossroads was to expand on the definition of chamber music. “And to plumb all of the possibilities of the more intimate side of chamber music,” she said, adding that the concerts also will spotlight music’s ability to create conversation and tell stories. The first Crossroads concert will take place Nov. 8 and will feature banjo player Abigail Washburn and the Chinese musician Wu Fei, who plays an instrument called a guzheng, a string instrument that has been around for 2,000 years. Fei and Washburn met during Washburn’s travels to China (Washburn speaks fluent Chinese) and found out that her bluegrass and Fei’s Chinese music have much in common. The Crossroads series will continue Feb. 14, 2019, with a performance by vocalist/composer Gabriel Kahane of his work, “8980: Book of Travelers.” Kahane wrote the song cycle following his travels of the country by train after the 2016 election. “It tells the story of how people were feeling the day after the election, in all different facets, it doesn’t take a particular point of view,” Seltzer said. “But it also weaves in his own history, stories his grandmother told him from a diary that she kept. He does it in a really magical way and it all comes together to create a very contemporary song cycle that I think is mostly Americana.” The final Crossroads concert, “Avital Meets Avital,” will take place April 16, 2019. Avi Avital, mandolin player, and Omer Avital, bass player (the two are not related), will blend jazz and classical with Moroccan, North African, Israeli and Mediterranean Seltzer said Crossroads continues PUC’s presentations of concerts to demonstrate the chamber music can be more than string quartets. “I want people to understand that that quality they love about chamber music, that they love about a string quartet, that sort of intimate one-on-one communication, exists in a lot of other music,” she said. “Having this series kind of packages what we’ve been doing in single events for the last few years.” PUC also will continue its Performance Up Close series with three concerts featuring the Takacs String Quartet playing Schubert’s String Quartet in C Major, D. 956 (Oct. 17); as well as a group that will perform Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time” (Feb. 6, 2019); and a performance of Schubert’s Octet for Winds and Strings in F Major D. 803 (Feb. 19, 2019).
The bedrock of Princeton University Concerts’ seasons is its Concert Classics Series, which will open Oct. 11 with a performance by the Jerusalem String Quartet playing music by Strauss, Schoenberg and Tchaikovsky. On Dec. 13, clarinet player Martin Frost and pianist Henrik Mawe will perform music for clarinet and piano. Famed cellist Steven Isserlis will perform a program titled “Composers and Their Muses,” with pianist Connie Shih, Feb. 28, 2019. Pianists Alexander Melnikov and Andreas Staier wil perform Schubert’s found-hand piano music, March 14, 2019. March 28 will see a concert by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja with Polina Leschenko on piano. The program will feature music by Bartok, Poulenc, Ensecu and Ravel. “People say she is the wild child of the violin,” Seltzer said of Kopatchinskaja. “She is someone who is incapable of giving a boring performance. She plays in bare feet, she does things in a completely unexpected way.” Continuing the series is the Takacs String Quartet (April 4); the Australian Chamber Orchestra (April 11); and the Ebene String Quartet (May 2). PUC also will present two family concerts, “Baby Got Back,” Nov. 3, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center with the Princeton Girlchoir performing “The Girl Who Love Wild Horses,” based on the story by Paul Goble. The Richardson Chamber Players will play two concerts — Nov. 11 and Feb. 10. Princeton University Concerts also will host two special events during this banner season — a concert by mezzosoprano Joyce Didonato on March 10, titled “Songplay,” will explore Italian Baroque and its thread to the American songbook. The first special concert will open the season when Bobby McFerrin will perform a concert titled “Circlesongs,” Sept. 21. He will improvise shared sound with the Princeton University Glee Club and will lead the audience in a call-and-response. “I wanted him to open the season because if I had to boil down the biggest priority for me with the series it would be creating community,” Seltzer said. “Making people feel like they belong and that they’re part of something and making sure that community is really expansive. And I feel like Bobby McFerrin embodies that. “ She notes McFerrin, throughout his career, has encouraged his audiences to sing — even the people who don’t think they can sing. “We all have a voice and he gets everybody doing it and everybody participating and everybody’s sounding pretty great,” Seltzer said. “He’s a musical inspiration.” And people who associate McFerrin with his hit, “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” will find out there’s much more to him. “It was about finding someone who can stand on stage and make every single person in the audience feel joy — just unadulterated joy — for music,” Seltzer said. “He wants everyone in the world to use their voice to make music.” Single tickets will go on sale online only, July 2. Subscriptions will go on sale in May. For more information, go to www.princetonuniversityconcerts.org or call 609-258-2800.

A Book Lover’s Delight in Princeton
By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor
For something that’s called “A Little Literary Festival,” there’s a lot going on during Salon on Stockton. The two-day event taking place at the Center of Theological Inquiry, April 1314, is devoted to authors who discuss their works. “This year’s Salon theme is ‘War and Migration,’ and is part of the wider Princeton community collaboration on Migrations,” said Will Storrar, the director of the center who helped start the festival two years ago. “The highlight is that we have four working journalists who have turned to both fiction and non-fiction to explore the impact of war on displaced lives.” Salon on Stockton: A Little Literary Festival in Princeton is a collaboration between the center and Morven Museum & Garden. The first was held in June of 2016. “I had the idea that our two fine main buildings, CTI’s Luce Hall [named after Henry Luce, founder of Time Magazine], and Morven, the historic home of Richard Stockton, across the street from one another, would provide a marvelous setting for the present-day equivalent of an 18thcentury literary salon, where people could meet to discuss books and ideas with the authors and one another in the intimate and informal setting of a beautiful drawing room,” Storrar said. “I also thought it would be a distinctive contribution to the literary life of Princeton to bring writers from the U.K., and especially my native Scotland, as well as the United States, to offer an international program in this intimate setting of a salon.”
Lynne Olson is among the authors who are set to participate in this year’s Salon on Stockton. The event will kickoff April 13 with a meet-the-authors reception and a panel titled “Covering War: Journalism in Conversation” with authors Neal Ascherson and Christopher Dickey. Also participating is Stanley Cloud, former Saigon and White House bureau chief for Time magazine. April 14 will focus on the participating authors. Sally Magnusson is a Scottish au-
thor and journalist for the BBC. She and Storrar will discuss her first work of fiction, “The Sealwoman’s Gift,” about the 17th-century Icelandic slave raids by Algerian corsairs. “It is based on a true story of abduction from Iceland to North Africa in the 17th century, which she has turned into a gripping tale of how an Icelandic woman survived by telling the sagas of her native land — and Sally’s own heritage from her Icelandic father,” Storrar said. Christopher Dickey, Paris-based editor for The Daily Best, will discuss his book, “Our Man in Charleston,” which tells the true story of a U.K. diplomat and secret agent on the south during the United States’ civil war. Bestselling audience Lynne Olson will talk about her latest book, “Last Hope Island,” about the governments, citizens and military who migrated to London while their countries were under Nazi occupation. “It’s the story of the World War II part-
nership between Britain and occupied Europe,” Olson said. “What drew me to the subject that it’s been so unexplored. No other historian has looked at this in detail — how Britain, as the last European country to hold out against Hitler, provided a refuge for the leaders of a number of nations that had already been defeated, enabling them to set up governments in exile to help defeat Germany. In return, they and thousands of their compatriots made crucial contributions to Britain’s survival and the eventual Allied victory.” Olsen has written seven history books, including six that have focused on England before and during the war. “I’m often asked why I’ve done that,” she said. “And the answer is simple: It was such a dramatic, historic period, not only for England but for the world. It’s the story of a country’s struggle for survival against the strongest military force in history. It’s the story of the extraordinary leadership of Winston Churchill and the courage of British citizens in waging that fight. But it’s also the story of a city — one that I consider the most spectacular place in the world during that time. And that city, of course, is London.” To end the event, British journalist and author Neal Ascherson, known as an expert on Poland and Eastern Europe, will talk about his first novel, “The Death of Fronsac,” set during World War II. After Ascherson’s talk, all of the authors will join together for a group conversation. Storrar said CTI and Morven collaborated on the project because both organizations are educational institutions that are concerned with creative thinkers, artists and ideas. “And so it seemed natural to offer a different kind of book event, a ‘little literary festival’ where a smaller audience — 30 to 40 people in a drawing room together, rather than a hundred or more in a lecture hall or big tent — could discuss books and ideas face to face with the international and cross-cultural panel of thinkers and authors we invite each year.” Labyrinth Books also participates, running a Salon bookstall where signed copies of books by the authors are for sale. Tickets cost $10 per session, $30 for an all-day pass. For tickets, go to visit www. morven.org or call 609-924-8144, ext. 133.

Corner House Builds on Its Mission Helping young people and their families dealing with substance abuse and other emotional issues
Princeton native Wendy Jolley is preparing for a very eventful week. On Thursday, April 12, she will survive a traumatic car crash involving fatalities. The following night, Friday the 13th, will prove to be an even luckier, but equally memorable day. She will be honored at the Corner House Spring Benefit at which she will receive the Marie L. Matthews award for her work as chair of the Corner House board and two decades of “amazing dedication” to the mission of Corner House, said Corner House Executive Director Gary De Blasio. By means of leadership, prevention, treatment, and outreach programs, Corner House Behavioral Health, celebrating its 45th birthday, promotes the health and well being of Princeton area young people and their families, as they confront substance abuse and other emotional issues. The award, Jolley said, is “wonderful, but unnecessary.” The car crash is “scary, but so necessary.” It is “her baby” — perhaps an odd way to describe a car crash, but an appropriate way to describe an educational simulation of a horrific car crash. It is just one way Jolley, as chair of the Corner House Board, helps fulfill the mission of the organization. Princeton’s police department, fire department, rescue squad, along with the Mather Hodge Funeral Home and the Princeton High School technology and grounds departments will team up with Corner House and SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) to deliver a powerful and non-virtual message about the dangers of drinking and/or engaging in any other distracting activity while driving. “The crash reenactment is so real that some students watching the reenactment have gotten hysterical and freaked out,” said Jolley, who started coordinating the car crash simulation several years ago when her daughter was in high school and president of SADD. “More than 800 high school students watch this riveting event [on Walnut Lane between the high school and middle school campuses]. I still get chills even though I have lived through the crash several times. As part of the event, John Witherspoon Middle School students write letters to their “friends” in high school to say how much the middle-school kids care about their older high school colleagues and implore them to refrain from drinking and driving. The letters get delivered to the high school homerooms the day after the crash. The mother of four grown girls, all of whom attended Princeton schools at the same time as my kids, became involved in Corner House “just because it was the right thing to do,” she said. “I have had a wonderful life in Princeton — both as a child growing up here and as an adult raising my own children here,” Jolley says. “I am so lucky that my own family never experienced challenges or tragedies related to drugs
Wendy Jolley is being honored during Corner House’s April 13 spring benefit. The day before, she will participate in a re-enactment to educate students about the dangers of drunk driving. or alcohol. But trained as a teacher, I value connecting with kids. And it pains me so much to see the trauma that drug and alcohol issues inflict on kids and their families. Two families with whom we were very close went through heart-breaking experiences. I needed no personal tragedy to motivate me to get involved — I feel the pain of so many living here who have faced such difficult challenges. In addition to her Corner House commitment toward the health and well being of children, Jolley has has led the parent-teacher organizations at the high school, middle school and Riverside Elementary School. Her own childhood in Princeton was “idyllic.” Her 93-year-old father Wesley McCaughan still lives on Snowden Lane and currently participates in the locally renowned “ROMEOS — Retired Old Men Eating Out.” Before he became a ROMEO, he was a teacher (and later an administrator) at the Miss Fine School and Princeton Country Day School (now Princeton Day School), where his students included Robert Mueller and Christopher Reeve. Jolley’s mother, who died six years ago, was Pete Callaway’s first hire in his real estate business. Wendy met her husband, recently retired orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Jolley, on a blind date when she was living in New York. The statistics reported in Corner House’s 2017 Report to the Community are sobering. In the span of two years between 2014 and 2016, client use of opiates/heroin climbed to a level of almost 22 percent from 9 percent in 2014.
Alcohol use increased to 43 percent. The 2016 prevention and treatment statistics, however, provide hope that Corner House is a crucial weapon in the battle to keep those use statistics as low as possible. Two hundred and eleven students participated in prevention leadership and outreach programs. A total of 3,900 individuals were served by various prevention activities. And Corner House provided more than 2,500 “intensive outpatient treatment episodes.” “Corner House treatment programs serve hundreds of individuals yearly through our customized outpatient and intensive outpatient levels of care,” De Blasio said in his message within the Corner House 2017 Report. “In our treatment programs, we also are seeing the impact of the current opiate epidemic sweeping the nation and our community. Our clinical team continues to adjust its approach with evidenced-based practices to meet the changing needs for each client.” In the summer of 1972 Nancy Gryzbek and Dr. Shirley Van Ferney opened the doors of Corner House Counseling Center. Situated at the “corner” of Witherspoon and Henry Streets, the agency was started by a group of Princeton residents hoping to find a way to help the youth in their community deal with substance use and abuse issues. Princeton Borough and Princeton Township and a grant from Mercer County originally funded Corner House. The Princeton Medical Center, concerned with the rising drug and alcohol problems in Princeton, leased the little corner house to the agency for $1 per year to serve as a “place where caring people-professional[s] and non-professionals [would] offer a variety of services to drug users and their families,” according to the agency’s website. In 1972-1973 the entire budget for the agency was $32,500. Today, the entire budget is almost 1 million dollars needed to respond to the “escalating demands of the community,” said De Blasio, who noted that the operation is no longer in the “corner house” location, but rather in the building that once housed the municipal operations of Princeton Borough at one Monument Drive. “Decades ago, few in Princeton wanted to believe that our community had a drug problem,” Jolley said. “It was [former Princeton Township mayor] Jim Floyd who raised the alarm bells and said unequivocally that ‘we have a drug problem in this town and we have to deal with it.” “People may assume that my being honored means I am going away. I am going nowhere,” Jolley said. “This is no a pet charity for me, no casual commitment; I am adhering to Jim’s mandate and dealing with the problem in any way I can.” Corner House’s “Down at the Shore” spring benefit will take place at the Boathouse at Mercer Lake, West Windsor, April 13, 6:30 p.m. For more information, go to www. cornerhousenj.org.

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Shali Shah
Spring is here and so are seasonal allergies Spring is here. Time to open up the windows, get outside and breathe in that fresh air. Or not. For millions of Americans who suffer from seasonal allergies, springtime brings with it a range of uncomfortable symptoms that can make life miserable. Relief, however, is possible with a visit to your doctor and a treatment approach that is right for you. Allergies on the rise Allergies are the sixthleading cause of chronic illness in the United States, affecting more than 50 million Americans each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And that number continues to rise. Research shows that increased temperatures associated with climate change are causing trees and plants to produce more pollen over a longer period of time. Moreover, while springtime is prime allergy season, more than twothirds of spring allergy sufferers have symptoms all year long. An overreaction Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to an allergen, an otherwise harmless substance that your body perceives as an invader. In response, your body
attacks the invader by producing antibodies that trigger cells to release histamine and other chemicals, causing an allergic reaction. Pollen and mold are the most common causes of seasonal allergies. Spring allergy season, when tree pollen is at its peak, starts as early as February and extends into early summer. Pollen from grasses and weeds can trigger allergies in the late summer and early fall, and as fall progresses, mold rates rise. People who experience allergy symptoms year round, may be reacting to indoor allergens such as dust mites and pet dander. Itching and sneezing Allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe, and may include: • Itchy, watery eyes • Itching of the nose or roof of mouth • Sneezing • Coughing • Runny or stuffy nose • Fatigue Additionally, allergies can exacerbate asthma and also increase the risk for sinus infections. Certain people, such as those with family history of allergies or who move to a new environment, may be more predisposed to allergies. Effective treatments A visit to an allergist can help identify your
Dr. Shaili Shah
allergy triggers and determine a treatment approach. Treatment ranges from avoiding your triggers to medication to immunotherapy, commonly referred to as allergy shots. A number of medications to control allergy symptoms, including oral antihistamines and decongestants, nasal sprays and eye drops, are available over the counter. Others may require a prescription. In many cases, finding the medication that is right for you takes some trial and error. One that may work well for one person may cause side effects like grogginess in another. For people with a history of seasonal allergies, allergists may recommend beginning medications to manage symptoms two weeks prior to the start of symptoms. Avoiding allergy triggers While it’s almost im-
possible to avoid allergy triggers completely, there are strategies you can adopt to help minimize exposure and reduce symptoms, including: • Monitoring pollen levels and knowing when they’re at their highest. During spring and summer, pollen levels are highest in the evening. In late summer and early fall, pollen levels are highest in the morning • Staying inside when pollen levels are high or on dry, windy days • Keeping windows in your home and car shut during allergy season • Wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from allergens • Wearing a filter mask when mowing the lawn or doing chores outside during allergy season • Taking a shower, washing your hair and changing your clothes after working or playing outdoors In addition, if you are allergic to pet dander be sure to have your pet bathed and groomed regularly and do not allow your pet to sleep in your bedroom. To control dust mites, protect your mattress and pillow with allergy encasings, vacuum rugs, wash bedding in hot water weekly and install a high quality disposable air filter in your central air system. Learn more Penn Medicine Princ-
eton Health, through its Community Education & Outreach Program, will host a discussion on managing seasonal allergies from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11, at the Hamilton YMCA John K. Rafferty Branch, 1315 Whitehorse Mercerville Road, Suite 100, Conference Rooms A & B, Hamilton. To register for the free session or for more infor-

Email: lhuntsman@callawayhenderson.com
Q
. What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition? A. I actually view my fellow realtors as colleagues, rather than as competition. We’re all very different from one another, and having s olid relationships with other realtors, as well as having their respect, helps me immensely in what I do, and ultimately helps my clients, too. I was raised in the South, where humility reigns, so, rather than blow my own horn, I’ll quote an email I received from a client several days ago. He wrote, “You’re incredibly smart, your instincts are spot-on, and your negotiationskills can’t be beat. You need to know how really good you are at what you do, and we are incredibly thankful for everything you did for us, on both our purchase and again on our sale. Thank you SO much!!”. He is also a negotiator, by profession, and his words meant a great deal to me.
Q
. How long have you worked in Real Estate? A. This is my 19th year as a full-time Realtorin the Princeton area. I left McCarter Theatre when my son was young, and made a career change into real estate, as life in the theatre was difficult with a toddler. Tod Peyton of Peyton Associates hired me and gave me a great position in his firm. When he closed hisshopon Nassau Street , I moved down the street to N.T. Callaway, and now Callaway and Henderson have merged, so, here I amatCallaway Henderson Sotheby’s!
Q
. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home? A. Find a Realtor whom you trust and then work with them, intensively. Share what you really think and feel, share your desires and be

honest about what you can afford to spend. Let that person do their job for you. Listen to their advice. If the relationship is not working well, find a differentRealtor with whom you really click - someone who has your best interests at heart 24/7.
Q
. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices? A. I’ve spent years searching for that crystal ball! Do you know where I can buyone? Real Estate is cyclical and every year is different, as there are always external forces that come to bearin the market which we can’t control; mortgage rates, the global economy, tax policy, (which just hit us hard this coming year in NJ),seller housing inventory numbers, how big the current buyer pool is, etc. So, I look at past patternsand combine it withwhat is happening i n the h ere and now, and begin from there when advising my clients. I’m always working with new data at my fingertips.
Q
. What do you like to do in your free-time when you are not doing Real Estate? A.We owna quirky house here that dates from the 1700s. It keeps me busy with its constant TLCand numerous projects. S ome I c an do myself, but most require contractors who know what they’re doing and have the right tools. We also have a small cottage in Maine that always seems to need tender lovingcare, as well. Yes, houses are a big part of my life, at work and at play. But, I‘m lucky enough tohave a great family, which includes 2 terriers and a horse, not to mention a wonderful spouse and a fantastic son - both who keep me grounded and sane. Q uality time with friends, old and new, is also one of my favorite sports.
Q
. What do you like most about living in the area you work? A.I know this area so well,now. We moved here in 1983, when my husband took a job in Admissions at Princeton University and I began acting a t McCarter Theatre. He was there for 24 years, and I was at McCarter for 15. When we moved to this area we said “Three years here and it’s either back to Boston, off to San Francisco or back to Virginia.” That was 35 years ago. We never left. T his area, and our work, was just too joyous and compelling to encourage us to go. Things have evolved a bit since we moved here. My husband now owns and runs a firm called Edvice, which advises students and their parents on the college admissions process, and I’m heading into my 20th year in real estate. Our son is now away at college and thriving. It’s homehere for us, though. We wouldn’t be anywhere else.
