Eve Niedergang Announces Council Re-election Campaign, Leighton Newlin to Run Princeton Councilwoman Eve Niedergang has announced she will run for reelection in the June 8, 2021 Democratic primary. Leighton Newlin, co-chair of the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association and chair of the Princeton Housing Authority Board of Commissioners for the last 19 years, announced Tuesday that he will run for a Council seat. There are two three-year terms on the ballot this year. Councilman Dwaine Williamson, who has served for the past year, has yet to officially say whether he will run for a second term. Now in her third year on the governing body, Niedergang has served as liaison to the Environmental Commission, the Board of Health, Local Emergency Planning Committee, Personnel Committee, Public Works Committee, Senior Resource Center, Shade Tree Commission, and Sewer Operating Committee. “I am grateful for the trust and confidence that so many of you placed in me when I ran for election in 2018, and I am asking for your support in 2021,” she said in a press release. “I am here to listen to you and to work collaboratively with residents, colleagues, and staff to achieve the best outcomes for this community which I love and of which I am so proud to be a part.” Former Councilman Lance Liverman is co-chairing Niedergang’s current campaign. “Because of my many years on Council I know how important it is to navigate roadblocks; Eve excels at this,” he said. “Eve has demonstrated compassion and thoughtfulness in dealing with some of our towns most sensitive issues. I fully support her, and I’m honored to co-chair her re-election campaign.” Niedergang, who is volunteer coordinator at The Watershed Institute, is especially enthused about a new 2021 environmental justice initiative that involves working with local landscapers to adopt more sustainable lawn care practices, and will hopefully result in a reduction in the use of gas leaf blowers through both education and regulation. “The recent movement to address racial inequality and the marginalization of the underrepresented has made it clear we need to do more to include those voices in policies and programs,” she said. “This initiative will allow us to engage directly with the

Health Officials Ramp Up Vaccine Delivery With COVID-19 vaccine clinics proliferating throughout the state, the Princeton Health Department has ramped up its vaccination program, administering vaccines to 240 police officers, firefighters, health workers, medical office personnel, and others eligible on Monday, January 11 at the Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC) on Monument Drive, in phase 1A of the state’s vaccine rollout. Also, all staff and residents at Acorn Glen and Princeton Care Center who wanted a vaccine have received their initial doses, the health department reported. “As more mega clinics open and the state works through phase 1A, more than 300 additional COVID-19 vaccine clinics will be available statewide as phase 1B begins,” said Princeton Press and Media Communications Director Fred Williams. “Preparation efforts by municipal and county health officials across the state as well as here in Princeton will ensure

that people who request the COVID-19 vaccine will be able to receive it.” Williams expressed the health department’s gratitude to scores of volunteers who have assisted in running the clinics. “Doctors, nurses, and many other health professionals, retired and actively working, are making a big difference,” he said. As of Tuesday, January 12, New Jersey had administered 233,555 doses of the vaccine, according to the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), out of 657,000 doses received so far. Mercer County reported 5,948 doses administered. Vaccinations will not be available for the general public until April or May. Only health care workers, residents and staff of long-term congregant settings, sworn law enforcement personnel, and fire professionals are currently eligible to receive vaccinations. The remainder of essential workers and other individuals 75 and

older included in the second phase (1B) of vaccinations will become eligible soon, as vaccine availability expands, according to the NJDOH. The following phase (1C), for other essential workers, adults 65 and older and individuals 16-64 with high risk medical conditions, will then take place before vaccines are available to the general public. The phases will overlap. The goal is for 70 percent of adult residents in the state, approximately 4.5 million, to receive vaccinations by the end of May. Individuals are encouraged to register at covidvaccine.nj.gov, even if they are not yet eligible for a vaccination. More than one million New Jersey residents have registered so far. In addition to two out of six planned mega-sites currently open for vaccinations, there are vaccinations available in 119 localities throughout the state, including Continued on Page 9

PU Professors Weigh In on Violent Events At the U .S . Capitol As the Trump presidency draws to a close and the world reflects on the alarming January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, there are many different opinions and perspectives on what it all means and where the country goes from here. Some of the best informed and most helpful of those perspectives may come from historians and political scientists, and Princeton University’s professors of history and politics have not hesitated to weigh in on the national dialogue. As Jamie Saxon of the Princeton University Office of Communications pointed out in a press release last week, a number of Princeton faculty “are using opeds, television news programs, podcasts, online publications, and social media to speak to the moment, share their expertise, and help chart a path forward for the country.” American History Professor Sean Wilentz, author of a January 7 article in Rolling Stone titled “Lock Him Up: What Donald Trump Did on January 6 was Sedition — and He Must Be Prosecuted For It,” emphasized what he sees as his dual role as a historian. “Some of us feel we have a civic function as well as an educational and intellectual one, that we serve our country in one way or another,” he

This year, Rutgers Cooperative Extension is offering one statewide, online class. Register by January 22 at https://envirostewards.rutgers.edu/county-classes.

Question of the Week:

“How do you think future generations will view this period in U.S. history?” (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

Camila: “I think it will be viewed as really divided, chaotic, and, more than anything, probably really dangerous and deadly, as it has been. I think they’ll be horrified at how events were handled globally, and especially in the United States.” Caitlyn: “I agree with Camila. I mean, just watching the news is pretty horrifying, disgraceful, and draining. I think people are going to look back at this period and be pretty ashamed. Hopefully we learn from it about what not to do.” —Caitlyn Finnerty with Camila Bolle, both of Lawrenceville

Patrick: “To be honest, I think there will definitely be mixed feelings about it. There will be some who, once we’re through it and able to experience a new normal per se, will view it as a time of unity and we got through it together. But I think a large portion of the future generations will view it as an embarrassing time in U.S. history, with all of the division that we’ve been going through not just here but all over the world. I do hope and think it’s possible that once we do get through, people will pull together again and stop politicizing everything.” —Patrick Condon, Horseheads, N.Y., with Michelle Pazdur, Sayreville, and Petunia

Srinivas: “I’ve noticed that my teenage daughter has become more politically active and wants to discuss what is happening in the world more than ever. I think that is a good sign that future generations will hopefully be more involved with and have opinions about national and global events. But I do think that they will look back at this time period as an engaging but certainly divided and difficult time.” —Srinivas Nair, right, with Shobhini Srinivas, South Brunswick

Emily: “I think kids will be more desensitized to political events because they’ve grown up in such a troubling time. That will be a negative thing for them as they won’t be as reactive. Ultimately, I think they will look back and see a lot of failures in leadership during this period in history.” Theodore: “I honestly think that they won’t be too happy with it. Only less than a handful of presidents have been impeached, and here we are facing the possibility of a sitting president being the first to be impeached twice.” Daniel: “Hopefully this is looked at as a turning point down the line, and they look back at it as not something that they see every day, but wonder what that it was like when things were so out of sorts.” —Emily Wilson, Flemington with Theodore Landay, Newton, Mass., and Daniel Mallea, Flemington

• DO YOU HAVE DISC PROBLEMS?

• DOES THE PAIN SEEM TO TRAVEL?

• DOES THE PAIN SEEM TO HAVE A LIFE OF ITS OWN?

• ARE YOU BEING TOLD TO “JUST LIVE WITH IT?”

• IS YOUR SLEEP AFFECTED BY PAIN?

• HAVE YOU TRIED EVERYTHING?

THIS IS WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SUFFER FROM CHRONIC, SEVERE BACK PAIN. Back pain can make everyday life incredibly difficult and daily tasks nearly impossible. Prescription pills may provide temporary relief with occasionally uncomfor table side effects when they work at all. The worst side effect of all is being dismissed by medical professionals who do not have anything to offer or simply do not care enough to look deeper into the cause. Some will suggest dietary changes or encourage you to exercise. Perhaps they instruct you to ‘drink more water’. As if more water is going to stop you from feeling as though life like this is just not living.

CHRONIC BACK PAIN BREAKTHROUGH!

PPS Responds to Friday’s Zoom Bombing; Princeton’s Boards, Commissions, and Perpetrators “Will Be Held Accountable” Committees Often Help Shape Policies In response to the January 8, “Zoom bombing” of an online sixth grade meeting at Princeton Unified Middle School (PUMS), Princeton Public School (PPS) officials are working with the PPS technology office, the Princeton Police Department, and Mercer County law enforcement to identify any unauthorized participants in the meeting. The Zoom bombers, thought to be people from outside the district, according to PUMS Principal Jason Burr’s January 8 email to parents, used a racial slur and posted lewd drawings. “This was an unacceptable intrusion into the students’ learning and exposed them wrongly to hateful language and images,” Interim Superintendent Barry Galasso wrote in an email to parents and staff on Tuesday, January 12. “Ironically, the

lesson that was disrupted concerned the need for empathy and kindness in the context of community citizenship.” Galasso noted that officials have since learned that the link to the PUMS Zoom meeting was published externally via Twitter. The PPS staff, Galasso added, is being instructed on how to avoid outside interruptions in the future. “We are taking the appropriate steps to safeguard our Zoom meetings to reduce the possibility of outsiders gaining entry,” Burr wrote. “We apologize to our students and their families for last week’s breach of our community standards,” Galasso said. “Be assured that persons responsible and identified will be held accountable.” —Donald Gilpin

Not long af ter mov ing to Princeton from Washington state, Leticia Fraga learned that the only Spanish-speaking staffer in the town’s Human Services department had been laid off due to budgetary reasons. Spanish is Fraga’s native language, and she called the department to volunteer her services. It wasn’t long before a position opened and she joined the staff. Since that introduction to one of Princeton’s numerous boards, commis sions, and committees, or “BCCs,” Fraga has become an influential member of Princeton Council, and was elected its president January 4. “It was when I joined Human Services that I felt like I was part of the community,” she said this week. “Being on a BCC is a way to get to know the community hands-on, and get a feel for how it runs. And it’s a way to help.” T h ere are 26 b oard s, commissions, and committees listed on Princeton’s municipal website. From Affordable Housing to Zoning, with Public Transit, Public Art Selection, Planning Board and others in between, these groups count numerous residents of Princeton in their ranks. “The primary mission of Princeton’s boards, commissions, committees, and task forces is to adv ise the Princeton Council, the elected policy-making body of the municipality, through direct citizen participation,” re ad s a B CC ha ndb o ok

It’s the home you always wanted. Keep it that way. From appliances to custom cabinets and flooring, you made the house of your dreams. And if it ever needs repairs, you won’t settle for good enough.

that was revised last year. “Although the specific duties and authority of each board, commission, committee, and task force vary widely, there are certain responsibilit ies com mon to all board, commission, committee, and task force members.” For members of the public who want to play a role in shaping policies but aren’t interested in running for office, serving on a BCC is an opportunity to get involved. “It’s a way to connect to the community,” said Councilwoman Eve Niedergang, who helped revise the BCC handbook. “We’re so lucky to have a community where so many people have a range of useful talents and knowledge, and are willing to volunteer. We have doctors, nurses, people in the pharmaceutical industry – they serve on the Board of Health. That kind of knowledge facing a pandemic is really valuable. Our health officers can draw on them for extra jobs and research.” Council members serve as liaisons on various BCCs. They cast votes on some. On ot hers, t heir role is purely advisory. Most committees have been created by the municipality, while commissions and boards are under some, or total, state regulation. Among the BCCs on which Niedergang serves is the Princeton Environmental Commission. “We have a fabulous group that is really involved in sustainability and preservation efforts,”

she said. “They can come with us to ideas about policy, like the ordinance on having backyard chickens, or electric vehicle charging stations. They do a lot of research. They guide us and provide incredible value.” Policies often originate in BCCs. “One of our BCCs might have identified a need in the community, especially when it comes to quality of life issues,” said Fraga, who serves on the Civil Rights Commission among several others. “They can make a recommendation as a body to the mayor and Council, who can then either adopt what has been proposed or send it back to develop it further and make additional recommendations to Council.” It was an effort begun by the Civil Rights Commission that prompted Princeton to officially recognize Indigenous People’s Day in 2019. “There are initiatives that are started by the public this way,” said Fraga. “Some residents called for us to mark that day. Mayor and Council sent it back to the Civil Rights Commission to research it and then make recommendations, and that’s how it happened.” New Mayor Mark Freda v a l u e s t h e a d v i c e f r om BCCs. “They all have different responsibilities or areas that they focus on,” he said. “There are so many topics that come in front of the town. The BCCs filter some things, or come up with ideas maybe Council members would not have come up with on their own. It’s a tremendous help to have all those additional

resources. T here are so many people here who are knowledgeable. You can get experts on many subjects.” Anyone can apply to become a member of a BCC. There are terms that expire every year, and applications are always open on the municipal website. “People can express what they’re interested in, or even prioritize,” Fraga said. “You do need to be a resident of Princeton. But definitely at the end of the year, we usually have terms that are up.” “Serving on a BCC is a really exciting way to have your ideas and input heard by a group t hat can do somet hing about t hem,” said Niedergang. “Sometimes people start the process by going to a meeting of a BCC they are interested in. They see how it operates. Then they get involved. And under non-COVID circumstances, there is also the fun and community aspect. It provides an opportunity for either your personal passion or professional experience to have real world implications. You can actually make things happen.” The BCC handbook is a work in progress. “There is going to be a continuous look at it, how we can improve it, and what guidelines will be established,” s a id Fraga. “ We’ l l t a ke a look at whether there should be term limits, and the process we need to follow when filling vacancies. The protocols we follow are not in writing, so we want to make sure it is all transparent.” —Anne Levin

said in a January 6 Daily Princetonian Podcast, stating that one of his roles is “to bring historical knowledge and wisdom to bear on issues of political difficulty.” I n p r o v i d i n g h i s to r i cal context to the recent events, Wilentz compared last week’s violence to the start of the Civil War. “January 6th, 2021 marked the saddest day in the history of American democracy since April 12th, 1861, the day South Carolina secessionists fired on Fort Sumter and commenced the Civil War,” he wrote in Rolling Stone. “Assassinations, military atrocities, enacting horrific laws, all are shameful and wrenching, and forever stain the nation’s history,” he continued. “But deliberate and violent attacks on the nation’s essential institutions of government, incited by elected leaders, are rarer, and they cut to the heart of our democracy as those other shocks do not.” He went on to describe the assault on the Capitol as “a direct, calculated, and unashamed repudiation of the nation’s constitutional order.” Princeton University Assistant Professor of Politics Omar Wasow, who has written widely over the past 10 years on the interweaving of protests and politics, wrote in a January 7 Washington Post article that “the Capitol riot” was not an aberration but “quintessentially American.” In a telephone conversation Monday, Wasow explained his theory for making sense of recent news, that the violent events in Washington and the historic Senate victories by Democrats in Georgia one day earlier reflect ”a long-run contest between two competing American traditions: one committed to preserving the status quo racial hierarchy and one fighting to advance equality.” Wasow discussed how the president’s actions helped to ignite last week’s manifestation of the clash between the two traditions, the two governing coalitions. “Trump’s repeated disinformation, repeated lies about his loss were not simply him protecting his ego,” Wasow said. “For him the world is defined by winners and losers, and for somebody who lost an election, to be that loser is painfully threatening to his sense of self.” He continued, “But it’s bigger than that. It’s about this competition between two coalitions where one is unwilling to accept the possibility that they may not be the dominant coalition in the country. If you feel like your group is entitled to power and you feel the loss of that power, then rather than accept it, people develop all types of elaborate narratives and conspiracy theories to justify why.” In looking to the future, Wasow said he was “broadly optimistic,” but noted that American democracy is in the middle of a long transition. “We have a good 10 or 20 years of difficult transition ahead, because even someone like Joe Biden, as moderate and mainstream as he is, can win by seven million votes nationally and yet in the Electoral College

it was really close.” Wasow noted the structural disadvantages in the Electoral College, in election districting, and in the Senate that impede the transition to a more inclusive country. “In the near term the more extreme part of the base will define the direction of Republican politics, and in the transition to where both parties are more moderate and more multi-ethnic there will be more political violence, with very heated fights over legitimacy of elections, and very difficult legal and political battles,” he said. African American Studies Professor Eddie Glaude Jr., speaking on NPR’s January 7 Morning Edition, compared police responses to the pro-Trump mob with responses to the racial justice protests over the past year. “There is a sense in which some people who happen to be white are accorded the rights of citizenship and the right to dissent and others are expected to be grateful,” he said. “And that was in clear view yesterday in terms of how the police responded to a mob, an insurrection in effect.” He continued, “You saw a peaceful protest in Lafayette Square. You saw peaceful protests across the country over the summer after G eorge F loyd ’s murder. And what did we see in response? We saw tear gas. We saw rubber bullets. We saw the vitriol. We saw the aggression of the police in responding to that peaceful protest. And here you have literally thousands of people rushing at the people’s house, walking through the Capitol. “A nd I could hear all across the country — at least on my Twitter feed — people just in amazement. Not that they wanted the police to be violent in their response, but it gave evidence to the fact that some people are accorded the benefit of the doubt, are given certain kinds of leeway or space, and other people are not.” Also in an NPR interview on January 7, Assistant African American Studies Professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor emphasized a double standard in police treatment of the protesters. “It is obvious that if the protesters were Black or if the protesters were protesting police brutality, a U.S. war, or something like that, that they would have been brutalized, that they never would have been in the position to lay siege to the Capitol in the first place,” she said. “The police would have had a completely different reaction to them, as we saw all across the country this past summer in response to Black Lives Matter demonstrations. In the Capitol itself, we saw National Guard. We saw people in military uniforms with military-grade weaponry pointed at Black Lives Matter activists.” Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber, a Constitutional law scholar, in his January 6 “President’s Blog” commented on the violence at the Capitol and “the Constitution’s promise” to help the nation move forward. “There is no place in a democracy for what transpired today in Washington,” he wrote. “Such lawless behavior is unacceptable and weakens our country. Every

leader has a responsibility to oppose it and never to stoke or encourage it.” Striking a more positive note, he continued, “I am saddened by what we saw today, but I am also confident that Americans can and will rise together to meet the challenges that the Constitution imposes on us: to renew our commitment to the rule of law and to peaceful disagreement; to push always for justice, equality, liberty, and the ideals of a free nation; to respect one another; to restore civic trust; and to redress this nation’s failures and build upon its achievements as we endeavor to become a more perfect Union.” —Donald Gilpin

some local health departments, some ShopRite stores, and some pharmacies. There are seven vaccination sites now open in Mercer County, including the one run by the Princeton Health Department at the PSRC. The county plans to open a site at Mercer County Community College on January 28 and 29. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced yesterday that the death toll caused by COVID topped 20,000 in the state, with an additional 108 deaths reported Tuesday. There were 4,219 new cases reported with the seven-day average up 18 percent from a week ago

and up 7 percent from the post-Thanksgiving spike a month ago. Princeton’s case numbers for this week were not available at press time, but last Friday, January 8, the Princeton Health Depar tment reported numbers slightly below their highest totals of the past 10 months. There were 36 new cases reported in the previous seven days, three fewer than the highest seven-day total, which came in December. The 14-day total was 60, down slightly f rom t he m id - December previous high of 66. As of Friday, there were 48 active positive cases reported in Princeton. Princeton University students, including most undergraduates, will be returning to campus later this month,

by January 24 for a COVID test and a 10-day quarantine before the first day of second semester on February 1. The students will also be tested on Day 3 and Day 5, then twice each week for the rest of the semester. Two University dormitories have been reserved to house students who test positive for COVID-19, and additional University facilities are available, if necessary. The University also has a team of contact tracers to monitor any University students, faculty, and staff who test positive. The Princeton Health Department and the University maintain close cooperation and communication. —Donald Gilpin

landscaping community to ensure that they are involved in designing solutions that will benefit them as well as our environment.” Newlin was born and raised in Princeton, attended Princeton Public Schools, and graduated from Princeton High School in 1969. He graduated from Lincoln University in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree in English. Shirley Satterfield, Newlin’s campaign chair, said, “As a resident of this historic town, the town of his birth, Leighton Newlin has long been a committed foot soldier for justice, diversity, and equality. I am confident that, as a member of Princeton Council, Leighton will serve with equal passion and commitment to the well-being of our entire community.” Newlin recently retired

after almost three decades as director of special services at a Residential Community Release Program in Newark that provided education and training to individuals preparing to re-enter society, as well as counseling focused on changing criminal and addictive behavior. As director, he was responsible for all aspects of administration and communication as well as managing a Community Advisory Board comprised of a network of community partners in the areas of labor, education, human, and social services in order to ensure maximum re-entry support. Newlin’s campaign treasurer is Kate Warren. Others on his team include Linda Oppenheim, Bill Schofield, Ross Wishnick, Darius Young, Patricia Soll, and Dana Hughes-Morehead. From 2014-2016 Newlin was part of a local group

that worked successfully to have the WitherspoonJackson neighborhood designated as Princeton’s 20th Historic District. In addition to his work with the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association, he serves on the boards of the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society, and The Paul Robeson House. Newlin is serving his second term as an elected member of the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee and recently stepped down from the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) executive board in order to run for office. “We Democrats have a lot to celebrate at this time, but we need to work quickly to repair the damage of the last four years and to renew our commitment at the local level to ensure that every decision is viewed through the lens of equity, diversity, and

inclusion,” he said in a press release. “I believe that Princeton’s leadership should reflect its people and that diversity on Princeton Council is necessary, critical, and beneficial. I also believe that my track record in community activism, and service, my skill set, background, and experience make me an ideal candidate for a position in local leadership.” —Anne Levin

Princeton Dems Seek Greater Inclusivity After Successes in Recent Elections The Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) has reduced its membership dues to $0 in seeking to attract new members and promote inclusivity. “In short, we are stronger when we are inclusive, diverse, and unified,” wrote PCDO President Jo Butler in an email. In this unprecedented year, offering $0 dues is one way to invite you to come on in through our wide-open front door.” In a phone call Monday, Butler highlighted the PCDO’s extensive programming over the past year and the push to get more people involved. “With Zoom or YouTube online we have the opportunity to expand the number of our participants, people who can appreciate our program,” she said. “We want to invite more people into the tent.” The PCDO going forward is planning to cover expenses through contributions rather than dues. With virtual rather than in-person meetings for most of the year, the organization, which has a membership of more than 500, has

been able to save money, and a number of people have made generous voluntary contributions. “I was nervous about this,” Butler said. “The numbers people were a little skeptical, but I think it’s going to work out. I’m happy for the organization.” Adam Bierman, who ran for Princeton Council in 2019 but declined to participate in the PCDO endorsement process that March because of the dues requirement ($5 to $15), applauded the PCDO’s decision to abolish dues. “The move is long overdue,” he said. “We were told by the county chair back when consolidation hap pened (2013) to decouple money from the PCDO endorsement vote. Pay for play is undemocratic.” The PCDO, New Jersey’s largest and most active Democratic club, recently s p o n s or e d for u m s w i t h Senator Cory Booker, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello, Princeton Mayor-Elect Mark Freda, Princeton Police Chief

Nick Sutter, and representatives from the ACLU. “For many years the PCDO has been at the forefront of promoting democratic ideals and inspiring political action, both of which are needed now more than ever,” said Butler. “As members you will have a place in the fight for Democratic values in our town, in New Jersey, and across the nation. Engage with political representatives and thought leaders on topics important to us all.” Early in the 2020 election campaign, the PCDO decided to focus its efforts on the New Jersey “blue wave” and the Biden campaign, Butler noted. “We were delighted we were able to support the efforts of Congressional candidates Andy Kim, Tom Malinowski, and Mickie Sherrill in central New Jersey,” she said. “We also did some phone banking to Ohio and North Carolina.” The PCDO also weighed in in the battleground state of Georgia. “We supported a couple of organizations in Georgia, including Stacey Abrams’ organization, leading up to the November election,” Butler added. “We also contributed to both Democratic campaigns in the run-off elections.” Butler pointed out three priorities for the PCDO going forward: to support the Biden-Harris administration; to help disseminate information locally about the pandemic and vaccinations; and to prepare for upcoming elections, including Princeton Council, where two seats

will be up for grabs later this year. Butler emphasized the PCDO’s important function of informing the public in Princeton. “We can help tell people what they need to do to get vaccinated,” she said. “We can’t get back to normalcy until we get the pandemic under control. I hope we can use our distribution list to help get the word out.” She continued, “People who are involved in the Democratic organization are often looked to in their neighborhoods, in their circle of friends, as people who are connected, involved and paying attention, and they are.” The PCDO endorsement meeting is coming up in March, when members will vote on which candidates to endorse and which to support in this year’s June primary race for Princeton Council and other elections. “We want to encourage people to consider public service,” said Butler. “It’s a great time to get involved. There will be a host of issues, and it could be a good, productive time to be involved.” Butler became PCDO president last summer when former president Jean Durbin stepped down to begin her run for the Princeton Board of Education. Afsheen Shamsi, a member of the PCDO executive board and also a member of the Princeton Human Services Commission and the Princeton Civil Rights Commission, will become the new PCDO president at the PCDO January 24 meeting.

James Demetriades Named ment at Princeton Health, New Princeton Health CEO including the comprehensive The University of Pennsylvania Health System has named James Demetriades as CEO of Penn Medicine Princeton Health. He will begin his new role on March 1, 2021. Demetriades, who succeeds Barry Rabner, has been with Penn Medicine Princeton Health for 17 years, and currently serves as senior vice president and chief operating officer. He has been a key player in some of Princeton Health’s most important milestones over the past several years, including joining the University of Pennsylvania Health System. “James is a proven leader who we are excited to elevate into a role in which he will help chart and execute Penn Medicine Princeton Health’s journey forward as an institution that sets the highest standards in care for patients and the community in New Jersey,” said University of Pennsylvania Health System CEO Kevin B. Mahoney. Demetriades led the overall system planning and execution process to become part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, collaborating with other senior leaders to execute the Medical Staff Development Plan and serving as the management liaison to the Princeton Health Board of Trustees’ Strategic Planning Committee that developed a five-year strategic plan for 2020-2025. In addition to his ongoing responsibilities for clinical departments and ancillary and support services, he also provides leadership for emergency manage-

work done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “The knowledge and experience James brings to this role will be invaluable as he leads the organization toward even greater achievements in clinical outcomes, quality, patient and employee engagement, medical staff alignment, and community relations,” said Anthony Kuczinski, chair of the Princeton Health Board. “We are excited about the combination of James’ strategic thinking and the passion he has for the organization, our patients and community we serve.” Previously, Demetriades also served as vice president for Professional Services, and has had operational responsibility for Surgical Services, Laboratory Services, Radiology/Imaging, Cancer Program, and many other clinical and non-clinical areas. He has also held roles at organizations including the Reading Hospital and Medical Center in West Reading, Pa., and HealthSouth Corporation in North Brunswick. “I am honored to be given the opportunity to serve Penn Medicine Princeton Health as the CEO. I have spent 17 years here because I believe it is an outstanding organization and I hope to provide the kind of strategic leadership that will continue to propel us forward,” said Demetriades. “I am grateful to have a team of very knowledgeable and caring colleagues, the guidance of a highly committed board and the strength of the entire Penn Medicine system supporting our work.”

BOE Members Committed to Working Together for Students, Staff, Community

To the Editor; The Princeton Board of Education held its reorganization meeting on January 5, 2021, and we are pleased to welcome continuing members, Beth Behrend and Michele Tuck-Ponder, and Jean Durbin who joins us for her first term. Beth Behrend will return as Board president, joined by Dafna Kendal as vice president. Betsy Baglio, Debbie Bronfeld, Daniel Dart, Susan Kanter, Peter Katz, and Brian McDonald continue their service. As we begin 2021, we remain grateful to Dr. Galasso, the administrators, teachers, and support staff for their commitment to our students and professionalism in these difficult times. Despite the hard work of more than 700 teachers and staff, we recognize that the abrupt pivot to remote/hybrid learning has been challenging for many students. We know that some are struggling, academically as well as emotionally. The Board of Education is committed to measuring and remediating the pandemic’s impact on students. This will include summer tutorial programs and may also include new summer programs for students who have experienced learning loss. These programs, as well as activities to help students reconnect with one another, will be essential as school slowly begins to return to normal this fall. We will also continue our work to select and welcome a new permanent superintendent to lead our district forward. The Board has spent many hours reviewing resumes and interviewing candidates and will continue with candidate interviews later this month. We look forward to updating the community as the process continues. As we begin 2021, we are optimistic that the pandemic will abate, vaccines will become readily available, and we look forward to the time when we can welcome all students back to our buildings. The Board is committed to working together in the best interest of our students, staff, and community. We welcome your feedback and encourage you to join our meetings on Zoom and share your questions or concerns with us at our meetings or in writing. We thank you for entrusting us with the stewardship of the Princeton Public Schools. PRINCETON BOARD OF EDUCATION

To the Editor: Last January 3rd was the 243th anniversary of the epic Battle of Princeton in 1777, where Gen. George Washington reversed an American retreat, put the British army on the run, and saved the American Revolution. Princeton residents should be justly proud to have the place where this occurred, a unique national historical treasure, in our midst. Thus, the Princeton Battlefield Society, the Officially Recognized Friends Organization of the Princeton Battlefield State Park, was delighted to participate in a solemn commemoration ceremony on January 3. The January 6th issue of Town Topics published a beautiful front-page photo of a color guard procession marking the event. Princeton Battlefield Society wishes to expand on the photo’s caption. The event was sponsored by the Princeton-Cranbury chapter of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and promoting education. The event, organized by local Princeton Chapter President Roger S. Williams and streamed live, included over 100 SAR officers and members across the country. Representing the National Society of the SAR, President General John T. Manning addressed the ceremony via the internet. The New Jersey Society then presented a contribution check for $2,500 to the Princeton Battlefield Society for further restoration of the Thomas Clarke House. The Princeton Battlefield Society is exceedingly grateful for our partnership with the Sons of the American Revolution. We thank the SAR for its continuing significant support. We look forward to doing more good things with the SAR and all friends of American history in the run-up to the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Princeton in 2027. Learn more at www.pbs1777.com.

New “Winter Wonderland” Exhibit Shines Brightly in Dohm Alley

To the Editor: At the end of an auspicious year for Princeton Future, the private, nonprofit community planning organization can now share good news about Dohm Alley and its future in 2021. Dohm Alley, the 10-foot-wide space that runs off Nassau Street between Starbucks and Landau’s store, was transformed several years ago into an arts and performance space, which also offers a quiet and comfortable place to sit – a pleasant discovery for many Nassau Street pedestrians. A team of artists and craftspeople, organized by Princeton Future’s Kevin Wilkes, created the inaugural exhibit dedicated to the Romantic poets. This outdoor space has also been the site of several dance recitals, poetry readings, and lectures. Now Emma Brigaud, a Princeton resident who is a graduate of the Stuart School and William & Mary, has replaced the alley’s inaugural exhibit with “Winter Wonderland,” a brightly lit installation that creates a warm space in the dark days of winter. Emma, who worked on the project with four other volunteers, was an intern on the original Dohm Alley installation. Another exhibit, sponsored by Princeton Future in conjunction with the Arts Council of Princeton and its Artist in Residence, Robin Resch, will open in the spring. The work, titled “Taking Pause,” will include reflections of Princeton during the COVID-19 pandemic. Artists or performers are urged to offer suggestions for other displays or exhibits suitable for Dohm Alley. Please email Princeton.Future.2035@gmail.com. The year 2020, Princeton Future’s 20th year of engaging the community in pursuit of smart growth and sustainable and equitable planning, was marked by other good news. Princeton Future’s participatory planning process has helped create real progress in consideration of affordable and market rate housing at the former medical center parking lot on Franklin Avenue.

Salvation Army and PUMC Thank Those Who Contributed to Red Kettle Campaign

Books

To the Editor: On behalf of The Salvation Army Trenton Citadel Corps and Princeton United Methodist Church (PUMC), I am writing to thank the hundreds of people who contributed to the 13th annual Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign in Princeton this holiday season. Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of donors and dozens of PUMC bellringing volunteers in Greater Princeton, The Salvation Army will continue to support a broad array of programs and services to help alleviate suffering to any and all in need without qualification or discrimination. Some of the services have included: assistance with housing and social services; a greatly expanded mobile food truck/hygiene service providing delivery of hot meals and hygiene kits to neighborhoods in response to the COVID-19 crisis; neighborhood picnics with police representatives to build community trust; and safe-space after-school activities and tutoring for students in STEM and reading enrichment. A program for music and drama begins in January due in part to our community’s support. Nationally and internationally, The Salvation Army’s services are available in virtually every zip code and in more than 130 countries. After the U.S. public school system, The Salvation Army is the largest provider of music education in the country. The organization also serves displaced men, women, and children every day of the year through homeless shelters, transitional housing programs, and permanent housing. Many other services meet other needs as appropriate for different communities. The changed lives are reflected in some prominent examples such as Julius Erving and LeBron James, who played in Salvation Army gyms as children. Most of all during these stressful times of COVID-19 and ongoing class and racial strife, it is wonderful to be surrounded in Princeton by such joyful givers. The bellringers of course extend thanks to each who donates, but that generally pales compared with the heartfelt thanks offered by the donors themselves who are so very grateful to be afforded the opportunity to support aid for those most in need. This is the case over and over, whether from a donor who may very well be a corporate executive or from the man this year at the bus stop whose clothes were disheveled at best and who fished out of his pocket what seemed to be the last nickel to his name and dropped it

book Review

Reading Sinclair Lewis, Dreaming Lincoln When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. —Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951) hen I skimmed It Can’t Happen Here (1935) at the time of the 2016 election, I thought it might make an interesting column. But since the dystopian fantasy by Sinclair Lewis, who died 70 years ago this week, had already been reprinted to high sales and serious notice with Trump’s ascension to the nation’s highest office, I put the piece on hold. The problem now is not just that I’m distracted by last week’s real-life invasion of the Capitol, but that I’m finding it hard to believe in a despotic president and former U.S. senator from Vermont named Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, who, the day after being inaugurated, demands the instant passage of a bill giving him complete control of “legislation and execution.” When Congress rejects the bill a day later, he declares martial law and orders the arrest of over a hundred “irresponsible and seditious” congressmen for “inciting to riot.” During the ensuing nationwide riots that the president has, in effect, incited himself, protestors are attacked by the bayonet-wielding troops of his vast private army, the Minute Men (a term with a certain ring in the era of the Tea Party). Lewis portrays Windrip as grotesque, “almost a dwarf, yet with an enormous head, a bloodhound head, of huge ears, pendulous cheeks, mournful eyes,” and “a luminous, ungrudging smile” that “he turned on and off deliberately, like an electric light, but which could make his ugliness more attractive than the simpers of any pretty man.” His hair was “so coarse and black and straight, and worn so long in the back, that it hinted of Indian blood.” During his years in the Senate, Windrip “preferred clothes that suggested the competent insurance salesman, but when farmer constituents were in Washington,” he “appeared in a ten-gallon hat.” Comparing him to “a sawed-off museum model of a medicine-show ‘doctor,’” who had “played the banjo and done card tricks and handed down medicine bottles and managed the shell game,” Lewis details the offerings of “Old Dr. Alagash’s Traveling Laboratory, which specialized in the Choctaw Cancer Cure, the Chinook Consumption Soother, and the Oriental Remedy for Piles and Rheumatism Prepared from a ... Secret Formula by the Gipsy Princess, Queen Peshawara.” Windrip had eventually ascended “from the vulgar fraud of selling bogus medicine, standing in front of a megaphone, to the dignity of selling bogus economics, standing on an indoor platform under mercuryvapor lights in front of a microphone.” If you find it hard to take such a

character seriously, you’re in agreement with the novel’s hero, a small-town newspaper editor named Doremus Jessup, who at first considers Windrip little more than a bad joke and plays down criticism of the government in his paper, the Informer. “The hysteria can’t last; be patient, and wait and see,” he tells his readers, so hard is it for him to believe “that this comic tyranny could endure.” What most perplexes him is “that there could be a dictator seemingly so different from the fervent Hitlers and gesticulating Fascists .... a dictator with something of the earthy American sense of humor of a Mark Twain, a George Ade, a Will Rogers, an Artemus Ward.” Did that, Doremus wonders, “make him less or more dangerous?” As someone who, among many others, failed to take the current president seriously when he announced his candidacy, I should mention, as I did at the time, the front page of the June 17, 2015 New York Daily News (“CLOWN RUNS FOR PR E Z” ) show ing t he candidate with a red clown nose and mouth under the line: “Trump throws rubber nose in GOP ring.” While the star of The Apprentice has nothing in common with the likes of Twain and Ade (not to mention Will Rogers), it’s fair to say that he’s shared the metaphorical stage with a road show con man of vulgar frauds, shell games, and bogus medicine. Burning Dickens One of It Can’t Happen Here’s most striki ng mom ent s com e s when Windrip’s fanatical supporters, not unlike the fanatics trashing congressional offices last Wednesday, invade the headquarters of the opposition, including the newspaper office and domestic sanctuary of Doremus Jessup, whose books are tossed into a massive bonfire on the village green: “Doremus saw his Martin Chuzzlewit fly into air and land on the burning lid of an ancient commode. It lay there open to a Phiz drawing of Sairey Gamp, which withered instantly. As a small boy he had always laughed over that drawing.” Doremus also saw “Alice in Wonderland and Omar Khayyám and Shelley and The Man Who Was Thursday and A Farewell to Arms all burning together, to the greater glory of the Dictator and the greater enlightenment of his people.” Americana The online onslaught of increasingly har row ing, hard-to -watch images of

Trump-propelled mobs pushing, smashing, battering, and shouting their way into the marble halls of the Capitol has awakened my inner patriot: the adolescent who found poetry in the names of American towns and cities and states and swooned to the sound of trains in the night. At the same time, all the talk of insurrection and sedition, not to mention that makeshift gallows on the steps of the Capitol, reminds me of visiting the Ford’s Theatre Museum with my father and of how awed I was by everything to do with Lincoln and the fate of the plotters of his assassination, in particular the photograph of the gallows where the conspirators were put to death. Dreaming Lincoln The dream I had the night after last Wednesday’s insurrection was a long time coming. The dream makers of my brain were starving for action; they wanted a breakthrough. For four years it’s as if a massive impediment has been blocking the way. You wait for the thing to dissolve, melt, fall, or be toppled by the seismic forces rumbling at the base. And all your dream self can do is putter uselessly around in the thing’s monstrous shadow, forced to do menial chores, exercises in frustration, cleaning up messes, laboring at pointless tasks, all of them related to the removal of the impediment, the immobile enormity of which is stifling light and truth and reason and imagination. No surprise, the towering hero of the dream was Abe Lincoln, and “towering” is the only word for the giant of the rotunda, with Proud Boys and QAnon crazies the size of toy soldiers clawing at his pant cuffs 250 feet below, while stunned selfie-taking multitudes stare like amazed tourists up, up, up the height of his skyscraper legs to the black stovepipe hat scraping the interior of the great dome. Every now and then the giant’s arm would reach down and gather a cluster of the tiny clownish squirming figures in his massive hand, bringing them screaming and squealing way way up to his face, yes, their eyes widening in wonder — it was Honest Abe the face of the Five Dollar bill, and he was smiling, not grim and stern, looking to reprimand them or worse; no, he was beaming sadly, fondly, down at the tiny beings hopping like fleas in his huge hairy hand. What next? At the crossroads of the dream, when

it could have gone very very badly, there was a hint of censure in that fond gaze, as if to warn them and the multitudes teeming far below, some frozen in amazement, many in flight — all bets are off, hang on, fasten your safety belts, American history has you in the palm of its hand and may just swallow you whole if you don’t watch out. But what’s this? The antic spirit of Dr. Seuss? Could it be? Yes, it’s Abe as the Cat in the Stovepipe Hat striding across the Rotunda among the fleeing mix of gawkers with their Trump 2020 flags, Confederate banners, and MAGA caps, among them the would-be hangmen and executioners howling for the vice president’s head. “Have no fear!” croons Abe the Cat to the little ones fussing in his hand (“Put me down, put me down, I don’t wish to fall, this is no fun at all!”): “My tricks are not bad. We can have lots of good fun that is funny.” His expression the essence of all-knowing Seuss-manic delight, he speaks the magic word: “Say it after me: Unity” And the little ones are crying “Unity! Unity!” as he gently returns them to solid ground. Clearly by now I’m playing fast and loose with the original components of the dream. Anything can happen when the gatekeeper’s gone. Like setting loose the Things One, Two, and Three of American literature, Whitman gathering the Freedom Caucus in his vast embrace as Melville harpoons the hapless Josh Hawley and Poe pursues Ted Cruz, a raven on his shoulder croaking “Nevermore!” Better let it go. I’m forgetting how ugly it was, back in the in-the-moment reality of fanatics battering the doors of the Capitol, a primal assault you feel in your gut, as if you and the building are one and the same. Force and Persuasion here did it come from, this dream? Three nights in a row absorbing the unbound, protean energies of Season 3 of Sherlock? — yes, that and listening to the extended mantra of “Deep Deep Feeling” on McCartney III, yes, but more than anything else it began with “The Violent Style,” a November 16 New Yorker essay by Evan Osnos about the “deep American conflict between persuasion and force.” Describing the bare-knuckled prize-fight intensity of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Osnos refers to a moment when “the discourse onstage neared combustion.” Falsely accused of “a conspiracy to abolish slavery, Lincoln leaped from his seat and advanced on his opponent until a colleague pulled him back.” It’s worth nothing that what enraged Lincoln was not a personal affront or insult or cry from the crowd (“Hit him!”). It was a lie linking Lincoln to a conspiracy to abolish slavery. A lie. —Stuart Mitchner

“Etta and Ella on the Upper West Side” Receives Online World Premiere; McCarter and Round House Theatre Honor “The Work of Adrienne Kennedy”

cCarter is partnering with the Round House Theatre (in Bethesda, Maryland) to present an online festival, The Work of Adrienne Kennedy: Inspiration and Influence. Kennedy’s many awards include an Obie for Lifetime Achievement, and in 2018 she was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame. A press release notes that her plays are “taught in colleges throughout the country, in Europe, India, and Africa.” This series, which has been a fitting tribute to an underperformed playwright, consists of prerecorded performances produced by the Round House. All four productions have been conceived with a theatrical sensibility, while taking advantage of the visual — even cinematic — possibilities offered by video. The festival opened with He Brought Her Heart Back in a Box, which depicted young lovers, separated by physical space as well as their racial backgrounds. Their letters to each other illuminate America’s history of racial injustice. The excruciatingly relevant second installment, Sleep Deprivation Chamber, is inspired by the treatment Kennedy’s own son (and coauthor) experienced at the hands of police officers. Ohio State Murders was the third play presented. While not as overtly autobiographical, it examines the racial prejudice Kennedy experienced on a mid20 th century campus. Elements from all three of these plays appear, to varying degrees, in the final installment: Etta and Ella on the Upper West Side, which is receiving its world premiere via this festival. The multilayered, deceptively stream-of-consciousness piece — which runs a little over a half an hour — is a monologue, though multiple characters speak. The text largely is written to sound like a novel, though there are fragmented descriptions that sound like stage directions. The speaker, identified in the program as Ella (portrayed by Caroline Clay), describes a rivalry between two sisters (the title’s Etta and Ella), both of whom are writers. As the play opens we see a single desk in a room that is spacious but sparsely furnished. Lighting designer Sherrice Mojgani keeps the stage dim, except for a spotlight that focuses our attention on the desk. We hear piano music that is jazzy and insistent. In a departure from previous productions in the festival, the stage directions are not read aloud. Rather, in keeping

with the sisters’ literary backgrounds, elegantly printed captions appear on screen. The first reads, “There are scenes of the Hudson River and 89th Street.” Also consistent with the literary theme, Ella wears a scarf with erudite writing on it. Ella closes her eyes as if trying to remember something, then sets the scene: “Etta lives…on 89th street, in a brownstone, in a room that faces a garden … it is a hot New York night.” Establishing the tension between the sisters, Ella morbidly alludes to “the strangling incident” that culminated “their public fights.” Etta (who shares a first name with Kennedy’s mother) is described as “40, once beautiful, small, pale, dark hair (she wears it in an upsweep).” We learn that at the height of their success the sisters dressed elegantly, attended events at upscale hotels, and were quite popular. But we hear about an incident in which Ella “had given a paper on the history of their childhood neighborhood in Ohio. In the elevator she burst into tears and said, ‘My paper didn’t have half the impact it should have’ in her presentation! My sister used parts of an interview I showed her, but I’m the one who spent the win-

ter in Cleveland, talking to all of those people!’” While delivering this passage Clay palpably lets Ella’s pain and anger inhabit her entire body, especially through tight facial tension. After a quick exhale, this abruptly gives way to mirthful laughter. Clay more than rises to the task of commanding the audience’s attention throughout the entire piece, giving a performance that is by turns foreboding and exuberant. With flair, Clay ruffles her scarf as Ella describes the sisters’ “corsages in 1940s black dresses.” Kennedy inventively explores a question that lately has been a crucial one on the subject of the performing arts: who has the right to tell stories that others consider their own? (Who has the authentic point of view?) In this case, the issue of right of authorship is even thornier, because there is infringement committed by a family member after there has been collaboration on the dissemination of shared histories. We learn that Ella has written about a play “about her sister’s devastating college years,” — a reference to Ohio State Murders — “and her play had received

“ETTA AND ELLA ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE:” Round House Theatre, in association with McCarter Theatre Center, is presenting the world premiere of Adrienne Kennedy’s “Etta and Ella on the Upper West Side.” Directed by Timothy Douglas, the prerecorded video will be available online through February 28. Above: Ella (Caroline Clay) describes a contentious relationship between two sisters, both of whom are authors.

considerable attention in the Ohio press,” which “ignored Etta’s version of her own life (which had been performed earlier at the same theater), and considered it an inferior piece.” Ella relates, “Troupe [a professor who is a one-time friend of Etta, who has extensively researched the sister’s lives] was determined to discover more what led to Ella’s strangling,” but that Etta, grows to distrust him — to the extent that, when he invites her to stay at his home, she wonders, “am I going to be murdered on Troupe’s stairwell?” The poetic narrative becomes even more eerie: “Ella’s apparition visited Etta … Ella was happy to see how her sister’s countenance had changed … her color was gone, her lips pallid; fierce was her struggle between reason and madness.” Ella’s apparition (a figment of Etta’s guilty imagination?) leads Etta to the brink of murdering a character of whom she is fond. This play shares with Ohio State Murders an obsession with film. The 1965 spy thriller The Ipcress File is mentioned in passing; and in a call to the precinct, Etta demands to know why her favorite theaters in Manhattan have been torn down. (One of Kennedy’s plays is titled A Movie Star Has to Star in Black and White.) In another self-reference, Kennedy’s play She Talks to Beethoven is directly mentioned. In the narrative its authorship is assigned to Etta, who hopes to complete it and have it performed. In addition to facilitating and/or guiding Clay’s versatile performance, director Timothy Douglas sees that the production has unity of color; both Ella’s shirt and coffee cup are bright red. He also make the most of Lindsay Jones’ skilled sound design, which punctuates the monologue to heighten the foreboding atmosphere. Since the play is available online until the end of February, audiences might want to take advantage of the ability to watch it multiple times, because there are details that might be difficult to catch the first time, and multiple viewings can yield new discoveries. t the end of her extended speech Ella silently sits back for a moment — eyes closed, with a slight frown — as if reacting to everything she has just said. Then, she stands up and strides out as purposefully as she has entered, leaving audiences to process the engaging, if somewhat enigmatic, story she has told. —Donald H. Sanborn III

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Presents Virtual Concert of Chamber and Piano Music

HOW CAN WE move toward a more equitable future for this generation and those who will follow? Join us for Forward Fest, part of A Year of Forward Thinking, as we explore issues of equity, access and opportunity in education with Princeton researchers who are investigating where schools and policies need to improve and what interventions may be effective.

rinceton Symphony Orchestra continued its virtual concert series with a broadcast performance this past weekend of Classical-era chamber works and solo piano music. Led by Music Director Rossen Milanov, Sunday afternoon’s concert provided cozy music for a winter afternoon. 18 th -century French composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, was almost as famous for his background as for his music. A contemporary of Mozart, Saint-Georges was born in the West Indies an illegitimate son of a wealthy French nobleman and his slave. Contrary to the customs of the time, Saint-Georges’ father took Joseph and his mother to Paris, where he was well educated in music and athletics. Saint-Georges simultaneously pursued careers in music and fencing, eventually serving in the court of Louis XV and becoming a music teacher of Marie Antoinette. Despite his support from the monarchy, Saint-Georges sided with the revolutionaries in the French Revolution and was later arrested as an enemy of the people. And like Mozart, despite his fame in music circles, Saint-Georges died poor and in obscurity. Although much of Saint-Georges’ music was lost in the French Revolution, orchestras have recently turned their attention to his symphonic works. Rooted in the compositional style of Haydn, Saint-Georges’ 1779 Symphony No. 1 in G Major captured the light and playful musical atmosphere of late 18th -century France. In a performance recorded earlier this year in the education center of Princeton’s Morven Museum and Garden, eleven members of Princeton Symphony Orchestra, led by Milanov, played the three-movement Symphony emphasizing the music’s simplicity and charm. In the first movement, subtle winds accompanied string sections busy with motivic melodic material and musical teasing. First violinists Basia Danilow, Margaret Banks and Ruotao Mao led a graceful dialog among the instruments in the second movement andante. Saint-Georges may have been a violin virtuoso, but he composed the violin parts of this Symphony with delicacy and elegance in mind. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Rondo in D Major for solo piano was particularly known for its opening Scottish “snap,” a syncopated dance rhythm derived from the Scottish “strathspey.” Featured in this work on Sunday afternoon was Ukrainian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk, who has recorded the technically challenging concerti of such Russian composers as Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff. Performing from his home in Amsterdam, Gavrylyuk played Mozart’s one-movement work with light fingering, dynamic contrasts, and a playful character, keeping the shorter notes crisp and bringing out a sense of drama in the piece.

For his “mini-recital” with Princeton Symphony, Gavrylyuk contrasted the sunny Mozart Rondowith two intermezzi of 19 th -century composer Johannes Brahms. Among the last works Johannes Brahms composed, the three short piano pieces which comprise Opus 117 are considered personal musical “monologues” of the composer. The composer himself described Intermezzo No. 3 as a “lullaby of all my griefs.” In the first work played, Intermezzo No. 2, Gavrylyuk took his time with the melodic lines and one could hear the sorrow in the music as the piece became more technically difficult. Gavrylyuk began Intermezzo No. 3 close to the keyboard, playing the simple opening line introspectively. As in the second Intermezzo, this piece turned more hopeful, and Gavrylyuk tied the varied moods of the music together well. Gavrylyuk turned in a completely different direction for the closing piece of his “mini-recital” with a Toccata by 20 th centur y Ukrainian composer Arkady Filippenko. Filippenko’s grandfather was a shepherd who played and made pastoral instruments, which Filippenko also learned to play. During the Second World War, Filippenko served in a military orchestra of the Red Army, and subsequently became a significant composer in the Ukraine. His Toccata for solo piano drew from the improvisatory 16th -century form carried through three centuries by composers ranging from Bach to Ravel. Toccatas by definition are free-form and often given to technical fireworks, and Filippenko’s work was demonic from the outset. Throughout the piece, Gavrylyuk displayed complex technical skill, with crossed hands and intermingled fingers. As the work closed, it was as if Gavrylyuk’s hands were moving too fast to be recorded. ilanov and Princeton Symphony Orchestra closed their winter concert with a return to Mozart and his 1784 Serenade for Winds in C minor. Although the 18 th -century Serenade was used as light enter tainment background music, this particular work was dark in instrumentation and key. Princeton Symphony performed the Serenade with pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons and horns, well highlighting the musical dialogs among the pairs of instruments. The ensemble playing in the four movements of the Serenade was marked by graceful solos by oboist Lillian Copeland and clarinetist Pascal Archer, as the lower wind instruments provided solid and well-blended support. In the final movement theme and variations, Copeland provided an especially refined ornamented melodic line, and the ensemble closed the work and concert with a final joyous variation. —Nancy Plum

The offer is valid for both new students and current students who wish to pursue a new instrument. All lessons will be delivered virtually for safety and convenience. “The new year signifies a time of change and growth; at the Conservatory, we believe that learning to play an instrument is an enriching experience, allowing musicians to build confidence and see milestone achievements as they grow in their artistry under the guidance of our esteemed faculty,” said Scott Hoerl, executive director for Westminster Conservatory of Music. “This is also an opportunity for adults who may have studied an instrument as

GREENHOUSES AT FREDERICKS FLOWERS: The work of Harry Boardman will be the subject of the first event in Artsbridge’s 2021 Distinguished Artist Series. The virtual event will be held via Zoom on Thursday, January 21 at 7 p.m. “lush wax crayon” drawings found the commitment, dedArtsbridge Artist Series Features Harry Boardman that “feel like a painting,” ication to service, and bravArtsbridge’s 2021 Distinguished Artist Series begins with “Harry Boardman: So Much to Paint, So Little Time,” on Thursday, January 21 at 7 p.m. The event will feature a virtual visit to Boardman’s studio, gallery, and home, all housed in a former cigar factory in Souderton, PA. Boardman and his wife Heather, a glass and jewelry artist, “took a rough dirty shell and turned it into a warm inviting space full of art.” Inside, you’ll find his works mostly “done in oil pastels: messy, rich, and a unique blend of drawing and painting.” Using dark outlines and strong compositions, he takes “unique views of the world,” elevating everyday scenes that “might go overlooked but are totally worth acknowledging.” Using the same brand of pastel created for Picasso, Boardman will demonstrate the technique he developed over the last 20 years. Visitors who Zoom into his presentation will get to see his

RWJ Hospital Hamilton Presented With Painting

Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) Hamilton was recently presented with the donation of a piece of multimedia artwork, Healthcare Angels, by its creator, New Jerseybased artist Joe LaMattina. This original piece, an homage to frontline healthcare workers dur ing the CO VID-19 pandemic, will be placed on display throughout the hospital units for all staff and patients to enjoy before it finds its permanent home in a place of honor in the hospital’s main building. D u r i ng t he COV I D -19 quarantine in early 2020, LaMattina felt compelled to create something to thank health care workers. He says, “I, like most people,

ery of our first responders and all healthcare workers to be extraordinary. While some people clapped every night in their honor, and some people put up signs and lights, I decided that the very least I could do was to create a piece of art in their honor.” Healthcare Angels was the artwork that came from this desire to recognize those bravely caring for COVID-19 patients. Richard Freeman, CEO and president of RWJUH Hamilton said, “This artwork is more than paint and materials. It is a reflection of the dedication and hard work put forth by our employees during this pandemic. It will inspire our staff for years to come.”

ACP Events to Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Join the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) on Monday, January 18 to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The ACP, in collaboration with the Historical Society of Princeton and neighborhood

historian Shirley Satterfield, inv ites families to lear n about the impact and influence of Black Princetonians by picking up a free, limited-edition coloring book featuring prominent Black residents of Princeton from histor y including accomplished business owners, politicians, educators, and influential women, in addition to Martin Luther King Jr.’s visits to campus in the 1960s. Coloring books are free and available for pick up while supplies last at the Arts Council of Princeton, 102 Witherspoon Street, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 18. The coloring books are limited to two per household. A Virtual Community Story Hour begins via Zoom at 11 a.m. on January 18. jaZam’s Jeff and Dean will treat attendees to some favorite new books celebrating stories of social justice, civil rights, and equality for all people, accompanied by ukulele tunes. L ong time Princeton resident and community volunteer Dana Hughes Moorhead and daughter Eme will join the event as special guest readers to share their love of writing and reading with the community. Books featured will include Charlie Parker Played Be Bop by Chris Raschka, I am Every Good Thing by Derrick Barnes, and The Secret Garden of George Washington Carver by Gene Barretta. Save your spot by visiting artscounci lof pr i n ce ton.or g. T h is 45-minute program is free and open to all. Martin Luther King Jr. Day will also introduce the latest in the ACP’s public art presence with the installation of UNTITLED 2017 ( FEAR EATS THE SOUL) (WHITE FLAG). The piece, on loan from ar tist R irkr it Tiravanija, is a black-and-white adaptation of the American flag, superimposed by the words “Fear Eats The Soul.” Conceived in response to unrest in the political climate, there is equal — if not more — urgency to present Tiravanija’s flag to inspire a sense of community and togetherness resonating in the ever-present issue of racism and prejudice. The Ar ts Council displays Tiravanija’s flag to bring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life’s work to the forefront in downtown Princeton and will fly the message from the roof of their Paul Robeson Center for the Arts through February 28.

the focus on providing a lifestyle, not just a cookie-cutter new construction house in a 55 + community.” Key Component Shilkina adds that in addition to the clubhouse format that sets The Townhomes at Riverwalk apart, the location is a key component. “Location is everything. The Townhomes are three miles from Princeton and a mile and a half from Plainsboro Village. The hospital and Merwick Care and Rehabilitation Center are within walking distance, and it is a very scenic setting, with walking trails and paths along the Millstone River. “They are also an hour from New York City and P h i l a d e lp h i a, a n d f r o m the New Jersey shore.

tion at Riverwalk. “Sharing the clubhouse amenities is a new concept in New Jersey,” explains Anna Shulkina, realtor at Re/Max of Princeton, who is the listing agent for the Riverwalk Townhomes, “This is really a special benefit of living here. As club members, residents can enjoy the restaurants, gym, swimming pool, library, game room, etc. The monthly maintenance fee includes access to all these club amenities.” Owned by MVB Riverwalk Urban Renewal LLC, which is headquartered in Philadelphia, The Townhomes is a grouping of eight buildings, including four different home models. They offer owners opportunities for customized materials, a variety of cabinet and counter-

top colors, and floor plans. Color Choices “The four models offer different options, including a sunroom and even an elevator,” points out Shulkina. “The style of the homes is traditional with an open concept.” Among the features are Mu l l ic a n oa k hardwo o d f loor ing, 9 -foot ceilings throughout the first floor, and quality Nych 25 carpet in all bedrooms. MOEN Lindor bath fixtures, cabinets with cultured marble vanity tops and choice of colors, ceramic tile flooring in master and hall bathrooms, and first floor powder room with pedestal sink are all included. The kitchens offer quality Aristokraft cabinets with wide choices of color; granite countertops with color choices, and stainless steel GE Profile appliance package, including gas oven / range, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. All models offer three bedrooms and two and a half baths. They vary in size and square footage, but all have two-car garages and patios. Exterior features include selected front and side brick façade; HardiePlank siding; Andersen 400 series double-hung, tilt wash, insulated glass windows; and exterior front and back lights. “The quality of construction is excellent,” reports Shulkina. “It’s all top-ofthe-line in every way.

And for those wanting that special morning brew, the Riverwalk Coffee House offers fresh-roasted coffee as well as specialty teas, and smoothies. Light fare, including fresh-baked pastries and more, is also available. “The amenities here are truly unique in the area and similar only to some of the finest places in New York or special luxury resorts,” says Shulkina. “How lucky we are to have them here.” Social Engagement The opening of The Townhomes occurs at a time when more people are leaving the cities and moving to the suburbs because of COVID-19, Shulkina adds. “The area has definitely seen an influx of people who have left New York City due to the virus. This part of New Jersey, although pricey because of our great schools and proximity to Princeton, is very appealing. And The Townhomes, with their spacious floor plans and environment, offer all sorts of space for people to enjoy a quieter and pleasant lifestyle. Also, even during the virus, the chance for social

engagement is so important. “In addition, we are getting a lot of interest from people in Princeton and the area, who are beginning to downsize. But they still want the advantages and opportunities that they can have being near Princeton.” For those looking forward to a new lifestyle with a range of extraordinar y amenit ies, an at t ract ive setting, which will include landscaped park-like surroundings, The Townhomes at Riverwalk can be an ideal match. They also offer the chance to be in a brandnew building, free of lingering viruses, mold, or other concerns. “There is so much to offer here,” emphasizes Anna Shulkina. “I enjoy meeting people and introducing them to this wonderful place. I can help their dream come true, as they find the perfect place to live. In fact, as I look ahead, I would consider moving here myself. It is an exciting new venture!” or further information, call (609) 216-7109, email ashulkina @ yahoo.com or visit the website at townhomesatriverwalk. com. —Jean Stratton

Joining Fellow PU Alums in MLB Front Offices, Young Heading Home to be GM of Texas Rangers

One-tenth of the 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) general managers are Princeton University graduates after Chris Young was named the executive vice president and general manager of the Texas Rangers in early December. The former Ivy League Rookie of the Year in baseball as well as basketball joined the ranks of Princeton alums turned general managers along with Mike Hazen (Arizona Diamondbacks) and Mike Chernoff (Cleveland Indians). “I think it’s a tribute to one, the University, and two, Scott Bradley,” said Young, 41, a 2002 Princeton alum, referring to the longtime Tiger baseball head coach. “What he has done over the years with his program, the influence that his players and thereby him have had on Major League Baseball is pretty significant. It really is a tribute to what a special person he is and I certainly would not be here without him.” Young took a different path to his post than did Hazen and Chernoff, who headed into administration quickly after graduating from Princeton. The 6’10 right-hander Young spent 13 years in MLB before jumping right into the league’s front office for the last three years, most recently as senior vice president of on-field operations. “There’s only so many ways to stay in the game – either on-field or front office,” said Young, a native of Dallas, Texas. “On-field had appeal, but being in the front office and the opportunity and the challenge of trying to create a vision and culture of sustained success is something that’s the next challenge. I’m excited to try to do that here with the Texas Rangers.” In executing that vision, Young figures to be kept busy regularly as he looks to rebuild the Rangers. Being around the team on a dayto-day basis likely will force Young and his wife, former Princeton soccer player Liz Patrick, to miss some more Reunions for the Class of 2002. “There’s going to be a year where my schedule aligns and we’re going to be playing the Phillies or the Yankees or somebody the weekend of Reunions and I happen to have an off day,” said Young. “One day I look forward to being there.” In 2019, Young did return to receive the Princeton Athletic Department’s top alumni award, the Princeton Class of 1967 Varsity Club Citizen-Athlete Award. He has addressed the men’s basketball team for Tiger head coach Mitch Henderson and remained a friend to the University administration. “Both of us have this mutual love for the University,” said Young. “I think it’s bonded in our marriage as well. Between the two of us, we bleed Orange and Black and we’re very proud

of the University. It’s shaped our lives in so many ways. It brought us together. And the people there between Mitch, Scott Bradley, Mollie (Marcoux Samaan), Gary Walters, there are a lot of people with whom we’re really connected with and will be for life. We’re grateful for those relationships. It speaks to what a special place Princeton is and what a unique community exists in Princeton. Certainly we’re very proud to be a part of it.” In a unique opportunity, Young, who also interviewed with the New York Mets for their GM position, joins his hometown Rangers. It’s the second time that the franchise has been a part of a significant milestone in his baseball career. Having made his MLB debut in 2004 with the Rangers, Young now gets his first shot as GM with them. “I was a Ranger fan from really the day I was born,” said Young. “I had the opportunity to make my major league debut with them, and now live here with my family. My kids are Rangers fans. This organization has influenced my life in a lot of ways, and now the opportunity to be a part of my childhood team and have the challenge of winning a championship and bringing this metroplex their first World Series championship along with the great people the Rangers currently have, to me that would be as much of a professional accomplishment as anything I could dream of.” Young excelled in basketball and baseball at Highland Park High in the Dallas suburbs before continuing on to Princeton, which offered him the chance to play both. Though he had only completed his sophomore year, his 21st birthday made him eligible for the 2000 amateur draft and the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him in the third round. When Young signed that summer, it ended his college career but put him on the path to MLB. “At the time, it was a really hard life decision for me to leave Princeton and give up my basketball career to pursue a career in the minor leagues and hopefully in the major leagues,” said Young. “As I look back and reflect on it, certainly I would have loved to have lived out the other path and seen how that would have played out, yet to reflect on where I am today I think it’s all worked out the way it was meant to be and I’m grateful for what Princeton has meant to me and the influence it’s had on my life. It validates my decision at the time.” Four years later, Young debuted for the Rangers, the first Princeton product to play in a MLB game in more than 20 years. Young went on to play for four other teams – the San Diego Padres, New York Mets, Seattle Mariners, and Kansas City Royals. Along the way, Young was named an All-Star with the

Padres in 2007. He was the winning pitcher in Game 1 of the 2015 World Series and went on to win a World Series ring that year with the Royals. His decade-plus playing experience gives him a unique perspective in his GM role. “Certainly there’s great empathy in terms of what players go through and how hard the game is,” said Young. “I also have an idea of what it takes to play at this level and how important culture and chemistry is. Those are some of the things my playing experience has prepared me for. I have a lot to learn in terms of the front office, but I think those are things that I’ll take with me and carry with me in shaping this team.” The new appointment will stir his competitive fire again. After three years in the MLB front office in which he worked on issues affecting on-field play, pace of play and discipline, Young is back focusing on trying to help a team win. “At the end of my career and transitioning into the commissioner’s office, there was a point where it was probably good for me to step back from the competition,” said Young. “I lived it for close to 20 years on the playing field and to step into a different role where you weren’t glued to the daily results of the team or your own individual performance was probably good for me in a way. It was nice to work on big-picture initiatives, to see the game from a different point of view. That said, I am a competitor and I am looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to the organization’s success and certainly there are going to be great challenges with that. But by nature, that’s who I am and probably where I belong.” In assuming his first executive role with a franchise, Young has been up front, but he has also assured the Rangers that he is a fast learner. He has compared approaching into his new role as he did a player on a new team. “You walk into the clubhouse for the first time, and you don’t know anybody, you don’t know your way around, there are different areas of the organization that you’re going to have to learn and familiarize yourself with and it takes a little time,” said Young. “Slowly you get your feet underneath you, and then all of a sudden you look up and it’s still the same game. To some degree that’s the experience I’ll have here. There will be a lack of familiarity for a period of time. At some point, you slowly start to get your head above water and you realize that you know this and can do this and you get a clear vision of what’s ahead.” Young has been taking mental notes along his career path, first as a player and then with the MLB front office. The front office gave

him a different look at the game. “Getting a look into all 30 clubs and seeing the culture of each club helps,” said Young. “What makes certain organizations successful, why that success is sustained, what some of the challenges are within each club, learning different communication styles, different philosophies, different visions, I think it’s all beneficial and useful along with the relationships I’ve been able to foster throughout the industry. “ Less than one day into his GM job, Texas traded starting pitcher Lance Lynn to the Chicago White Sox. On December 15, the Rangers traded reliever Rafael Montero to Seattle. The Rangers, who have suffered four straight losing seasons, have been seeking prospects and Young is charged with continuing their rebuild. “It’s coming fast and furious,” said Young. “It’s been great getting on board and coming up to speed on a lot of different areas of the organization and connect with a lot of different people and get familiarized. There has not been one slow minute certainly in the process, but I’m learning a ton and getting exposure to so much. I’m grateful to everyone within the organization and the patience that they’re showing me. But so far, so good.” —Justin Feil

PU Sports Roundup Hun School Alum Russo Named Top Baseball Assistant

Hun School alum Mike Russo has been promoted to the first assistant/recruiting coordinator for the Princeton University baseball program, Tiger head coach Scott Bradley said last week. Russo finished his fifth season with Princeton in 2020, as an assistant coach leading the pitching staff. Over Russo’s tenure as pitching coach, several of his charges have moved on to professional ball. Following the 2020 campaign, James Proctor signed a professional contract with the Cincinnati Reds. In 2019, the Tigers had another pitcher move on to the pro ranks as Ryan Smith was picked in the 18th round of the Major League Baseball Draft. A year earlier, one of Princeton’s All-Ivy players was former Princeton High standout Ben Gross, who was later selected in the MLB Draft by the Houston Astros. “I’m excited to take on this new role with Princeton,” said Russo. “I can’t thank Scott enough for the opportunity and Lloyd for being a great mentor over the years. Princeton is a great place and I’m looking forward to the future of Princeton Baseball.” Bradley, for his part, said Russo’s promotion is wellearned. “Mike has been an invaluable member of our coaching staff and it was just a matter of time before he moved into

the lead assistant position,” asserted Bradley. “We are very fortunate to have him here at Princeton and he is a great mentor and role model for our student athletes.” Russo helped guide the Tigers to the 2016 Ivy League Championship and receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament’s Lafayette, La., Regional. The pitching staff’s ERA dropped from 6.44 in 2015 to 3.95 in 2016. Chad Powers was honored as the Ivy League Pitcher of the Year while Keelan Smithers was picked as second team All-Ivy. Drafted in 2008 by the Philadelphia Phillies out of the Hun School, Russo attended N.C. State for two years before transferring to Kean University. At Kean, Russo was named the 2011 NJAC Pitcher of the Year and garnered secondteam ABCA/Rawlings and D3baseball.com All-America honors as a junior when he posted a 10-2 record with a 1.93 ERA. Going 7-1 during his final collegiate season, Russo helped pitch the Cougars to a second consecutive College World Series. Following graduation Russo enjoyed coaching stints at the Hun School (201214) and Kean. He served as a pitching coach for Forest City in the Coastal Plain League in the summer of 2014, he helped guide the Owls to a 30-25 record, aiding in the development of two CPL All-Star pitchers.

PU Football Alum Carlson Helps Browns Post Playoff Win

Former Princeton University football star Stephen Carlson ’19 came up big

down the stretch once again for the Cleveland Browns last weekend. A week after recovering an onside kick late in the game to help seal Cleveland’s 2422 win over Pittsburgh in the regular season finale to clinch a playoff berth, tight end Carlson did it again as the Browns had a rematch with the Steelers last Sunday in the AFC Wild Card round. With 1:09 remaining in the game and Cleveland clinging to a 48-37 lead, Carlson gathered in an onside kick to end Pittsburgh’s rally and the Browns subsequently ran out the clock. The v ictor y was the Browns’ first postseason win since they defeated the New England Patriots 20-13 on January 1, 1995 in a Wild Card contest. Cleveland will now play at defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on January 17 in an AFC Divisional Round game. PRO PROSPECTS: Josh Teves controls the puck in a 2018 game during his senior season with the Princeton University men’s hockey team. With the NHL season slated to start on January 13, defenseman Teves ’19 was in training camp for the Vancouver Canucks. After appearing in one game for the Canucks in the 2018-19 season, Teves spent most of last year with Vancouver’s AHL affiliate in Utica where he played in 29 games. In addition to Teves, two other former Tiger stars skated in NHL camps with forward Eric Robinson ’18 in action with the Columbus Blue Jackets and defenseman Taylor Fedun ’11 on the ice for the Dallas Stars. Last season, Robinson played in 50 games for Columbus, finishing with seven goals and five assists. In the playoffs, he skated in 10 games with one goal. Fedun played in 27 regular season games with the Stars, tallying two goals and seven assists. In the playoffs, he appeared in 11 games before an injury sidelined him during Dallas’ run to the Stanley Cup Final. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

While new Princeton High boys’ hockey head coach Dave Hansen has only had a week of on-ice practice with his squad after weeks of dryland training, he believes things are already coming together. “I am really happy with the boys right now, they work hard,” said Hansen, the longtime head coach at Madison High and successor to Joe Bensky, who guided the Tigers to an 18-4-2 record and the Mercer County Tournament title last winter. “In the first one or two practices, I wanted to have some fun with them. I am just trying to have a good time with them and get to know them and they are trying to do the same thing with me. We are off to a good start.” In Hansen’s view, he and his new players are quickly getting on the same page. “We are doing our forechecks, we are doing our d-zones, we are doing our power plays and penalty kills,” said Hansen. “I try to do a lot of skills drills the first 20-25 minutes and then focus on systems for the last 45 minutes to an hour. We got on the ice last week and we started doing a few drills. When we started repeating them, they knew where to go right away. They know what they need to do and they are doing that at a high caliber.” The squad’s trio of senior captains, Colm Trainor, Patrick McDonald, and Austin Micale, are helping with that process. “Colm is the captain and

Patrick and Austin are the assistants; they are communicating well with the underclassmen which is great,” said Hansen. “Some of the drills I am doing right now can be difficult to pick up on right away. If some guys aren’t understanding, they take time out and explain it to them. I have never seen that before.” Hansen expects to see good production on the offensive end from his squad this winter. “We definitely have solid forwards that are going to be able to put the puck in the net,” said Hansen, whose group of forwards should include senior star Trainor, sophomore Cooper Zullo, junior John O’Donnell, junior John Zammit, sophomore Ethan Garlock, sophomore Gabriel Silverstein, sophomore Nico Vitaro, junior Andre Oskiper, and sophomore Andrew Benevento. “One sophomore I am very impressed with is Cooper Zullo. He will be skating with Colm. They are very fast, they move the puck very well.” The PHS defensive unit will be spearheaded by assistant captains Micale and McDonald. “Austin and Patrick are going to hold the blue line down,” said Hansen, with junior Will Erickson and sophomore Julian Drezner also in the mix on defense. “They are definitely going to be a pair on the ice and are going to log a lot of minutes.” At goalie, junior Daniel

Prokoshin appears poised for a superb season. “Our goalie is a big guy; he is very impressive between the pipes,” said Hansen. “He was a starter the last two years so he comes in with experience. We have got a lot of tough games in our division. If he can focus on stopping the shots that he can and we do well in the d-zone, I think we will be off to a good start.” Wit h COV I D concer ns hanging over the season, Hansen is looking for his players to focus on giving their best everyday they are on the ice. “We are trying to get the most of things, it is tough this year; I am used to having four or five scrimmages before the first game and obviously that didn’t happen this year,” said Hansen, who is welcoming a quintet of freshmen to the program in Graham Baird, Oisin O’Dell, Mike Prete, Charles Ross, and Yitian “TT” Zhao. “I know the boys are very excited to be on the ice. It is going to be a challenge. I told them to relax and play the systems and get into it and we will have a good start.” With PHS star ting the 2021 campaign by playing Paul VI at the Skate Zone in Voorhees on January 18, Hansen is optimistic about his squad’s prospects. “If the boys work hard and they win their battles, they should come out with a victory,” said Hansen. —Bill Alden

Boasting Extensive Coaching Experience, Hansen Taking Helm of PHS Boys’ Hockey Dave Hansen has been around the game of hockey since he was a preschooler in Morris County. “I started playing hockey when I was 4 or 5 years old, it was a big sport in Chatham,” said Hansen. “My cousins played and I was intrigued by it. My dad took me to a public session at a rink and I loved it. I had a chair in front of me, I would fall and he would pick me up to help me learn how to skate.”

Picking up things quickly on the ice, Hansen played club hockey for the Colonials, Rockets, and Devils programs and then went on to star for Chatham High. After graduating from Chatham, Hansen played at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. Returning to New Jersey, Hansen got into coaching, starting as an assistant at Montclair High in 1995 and then becoming a head coach at Mt. Olive High and later Madison High.

In his 17-season tenure at Madison from 2004-20, Hansen led the program to unprecedented success, earning over 200 wins. “I started the program with nine players; I had a lot of fun with it, they definitely listened to me and the systems I wanted to install,” said Hansen, 48, who runs a landscaping business when he is not on the ice. “We went from nine to 12 to 15 and all of a sudden you have a JV program. I made two steps there. We won the Haas Cup, the Halverson Cup, and the Mennen Cup. We are the only team in Morris County that has ever done that.” Now Hansen is bringing his

extensive coaching experience to Mercer County, taking the helm of the Princeton High boys’ hockey team, succeeding Joe Bensky. Becoming PHS head coach in a pandemic, Hansen is looking to help his players keep things in perspective. “I am just trying to incorporate systems with them right now,” said Hansen. “I am not trying to be like a dad or a teacher; I just talk about the culture of life and what is going on right now. I told them, it is almost like an outlet for you guys. You come to practice and you are having fun. You are just doing your thing.” Hansen had a lot of fun in his high school career at Chatham. “We were a really good high school team, we were

competitive with teams like Delbarton and Morristown Beard,” said Hansen. “I was a captain my junior and senior year. It was a really solid group of guys that took the game very seriously. We always were competitive in the states and for the Mennen Cup. I played a lot of minutes my freshman year and that brought me through my career.” That experience laid the foundation for a solid college career and Hansen’s later desire to get into coaching. “Going from high school to college was a big jump,” recalled Hansen. “It was a lot faster, the guys were a lot bigger. I was able to keep up; I had a good college career. I loved the sport so much that is why when I graduated from college, I wanted to make sure I gave back what I was given, growing up as a hockey player.” It didn’t take long for Hansen to fall in love with coaching. “It was natural, the three teams that I have coached had a lot of the players that are club hockey players,” said Hansen. “It wasn’t very hard for them to understand the way I want to coach, they already had the hockey IQ.” Starting to work with his PHS

players in dry land training in December, Hansen believes his new charges have a good IQ for the game. “I was already impressed by how hard they work outside, I am really excited to see what they can do on the ice,” said Hansen. “If they can balance the school work, family, and the hockey team, we are going to have a huge success. We have to learn how to balance everything. If they can do that, it is going to be a lot of fun. We have a lot of talent that came back.” In Hansen’s view, a balanced approach is a hallmark of his coaching approach. “I am not about wins and losses because the wins are going to come,” said Hansen. “I just feel that if I can make them better people at the end of the season, it is going to make the program better.” A good work ethic is one of the personal qualities that Hansen will be emphasizing. “What I said to them is hard work beats talent,” added Hansen. “If you guys work hard in dry land and on the ice, you are going to beat good teams. You outwork them, you are going to win a lot of games.” —Bill Alden

While there is normally a buzz in the air when the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team hits the ice to start preseason training, Scott Bertoli saw a heightened intensity when his players arrived at McGraw Rink last week to prepare for the 2021 campaign. “It was good to be on the ice,” said PDS head coach Bertoli, who guided the Panthers to a 7-11-1 record last winter in a season highlighted by wins over Lawrenceville, Delbarton, and Hun. “They were excited to be out there. That was even furthered by the fact that for many of them it was the first time being on our ice or being in the new athletic center so there was a lot of excitement surrounding the start of the season.” The PDS players are excited to be furthering the program’s proud tradition. “I know that a lot of these kids are playing club hockey outside of here but there is definitely something different to playing for your high school, especially at a school like this,” added Bertoli. “We have got our own rink, it is such a big part of the fabric of the school in the winter months. The kids understand and appreciate that. For the better part of the last couple of months, a lot of them haven’t been on campus. They haven’t seen each other unless they are playing on the same club team. Watching those interactions and the general excitement of being back out there and having the PDS jersey on was really cool to see.” While there will be no postseason play and the number of games will be limited, Bertoli is excited about the team’s current slate of games. “We built out a pretty nice schedule, we are up to 11 games,” said Bertoli, whose team opens the 2021 campaign when it plays at Don Bosco on January 24. “We have got Delbarton twice, Don Bosco twice, St. Augustine t w ice and we are going to play Hun three times. I would say 20

percent of our games are usually against New England schools, that is out of play, I would say 30-40 percent of our games are with Pennsylvania schools, that is out of play.” PDS will have some nice options at forward, starting with senior captains Drew McConaughy and Gibson Linnehan along with junior Michael Sullo. “We have a pretty confident group of kids with a mix of older kids with younger kids,” said Bertoli, who won’t have the services of one of his older kids in the early going as senior Emery Oliver is currently sidelined after surgery. “I think the Drew McConaughys, the Michael Sullos, the Gibson Linnehans are pretty established players and play with a lot of confidence. They play with a lot of tempo and they understand what we are asking of them and the expectations so they can just play.” After emerging as a star last winter in his first season with the program, Sullo is playing particularly well. “He looks amazing; he understands that if he wants to play at the next level which I think he undoubtedly will,” said Bertoli. “He is going to have to get stronger. You can’t control how tall you are going to be but you can control how strong you are. He plays hard, he doesn’t shy away from the hard areas. He looks like he has gotten faster and quicker. His skill level looks like it has improved. He has been pretty dynamic in practice so I am excited to see him play.” Bertoli likes the improvement he is seeing in sophomores Ryan Vandal and Oliver Hall. “They are talented kids,” said Bertoli. “Oliver really had a big second half of the year last season. For whatever reason, he plays with a ton of confidence when he plays with us. I look forward to see what type of improvement and developments he has made in the last nine months since I have been on the ice with these guys.” A pair of newcomers,

freshman Riley Schmidt and junior transfer Adam Teryek, bring additional talent to the forward unit. “We have a really talented freshman in Riley, he is an ’05 Tier 1 kid,” said Bertoli. “He really understands the game and he scores a lot in his own age group. I have been impressed with his poise. He is a kid who can play on the power play and he has a tremendous skill set. Most importantly, he has a really good understanding of the game. We also have a kid who transfe r r e d f r o m D e lb a r to n , Adam Teryek. He is a talented player, he plays with the Chiefs. He can skate, he can score.” The Panthers will be featuring some new faces on defense as the program is losing its top five defenders from last year with three players g raduat ing, one moving on to juniors, and senior captain Birch Gorman out due to injury. “We have two returning sophomores in Will Brown a n d C o l e Fe n to n , t h e y played sparingly last year; they look like they have both improved, they have grown,” said Bertoli. “We have two really talented freshmen who are Tier 1 players and should make great impact in Connor Stratton and Han Shin. They are going to be thrown right into the fire; I think they will be fine. Our fifth defenseman is Chris Babecki, who is a converted forward. He is a junior. By height standards, he is a little undersized but he is a big, strong physical kid that has played with his club team on defense. It will be a little bit of an adjustment for him. He will pick it up and will be fine.” At goalie, PDS boasts a talented pair in returning junior starter Timmy Miller and freshman Mason Watson. “Timmy looks great, he is bigger, he’s stronger,” said Bertoli. “He did well last year down the stretch. What is crazy about last year, while the record wasn’t terrific, we had some really impressive wins. We lost seven one- goal games and our goals against average was

2.1, which was lower than it has been in eight years. His backup is Mason Watson, a Tier 1 player for the Chiefs. He has a big body and is fully capable of stepping in and playing quality minutes as well. I think we are in really good shape there.” With fewer games this winter, Bertoli will be emphasizing skills work. “The focus this year is just on the development piece with both the kids that want to continue to play and the younger group, especially on the defensive end,” said Bertoli. “It is just trying to bring these kids up to speed.” With a coaching staff that includes Adam Shemansky, a University of Maine standout from 2009-13, and newcomer Blake Kessel, a former star at the University of New Hampshire and at the pro ranks in the AHL and ECHL, PDS boasts some good role models for its players. “The fact that the school allowed us to support these kids not only with the quantity of coaches but through connections, the qualit y of coaches is great,” said Bertoli, a former Princeton University star and ECHL standout who is losing assistant Tommy Davis to the Tiger men’s staff. “The attention that these kids get really helps ; we constantly split in practice with forwards and defensemen. Sometimes we will have three groups. These kids have quality coaches who have played in Division I hockey or played some level of college hockey. They have a pretty good understanding and the kids are excited about the game.” While Bertoli has guided the program to a number of Prep titles and consistent success over the years, he is bringing a different perspective to this season as the team navigates the COVID situation. “The kids want to win every time they take the ice and when I step behind the bench my mindset will shift to that as well,” said Bertoli. “At the end of the day, there just needs to be this appreciation and understanding that these are very unique, challenging times. There is an opportunity to play with your peers and fingers crossed that we can get through the majority of the schedule. We are reminding them constantly to be diligent, mindful, and respectful of this thing.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

John Law Jacobus After a brief but hardfought battle with cancer, John Law Jacobus, of Washington, DC, passed away on January 2, 2021. He was 57 years old. John was born in Washington, DC, and when he was 6, a family move took him to Princeton, NJ, in August of 1970, where he spent the remainder of his youth, graduating from Princeton Day School in 1982. At graduation, he was awarded the English and Latin prizes, a Headmaster’s award, as well as being the first recipient of the John Douglas SacksWilner ’80 Award. He loved studying English and history, and participated in several dramatic presentations, including one of the first full Shakespearean plays mounted by the school, Twelfth Night. John attended Harvard University, receiving a bachelor of arts (A.B.) in History, graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. At Harvard, he was a recipient of the Detur Prize, one of the oldest academic prizes at Harvard College, awarded to only the top 49 freshmen in the class. He was also awarded a John Harvard Scholarship, in recognition of academic achievement of the highest distinction, as well as the Whitehill Prize, given by Lowell House to the junior student who “as a scholar and citizen best represents t he tradition of the humane letters and arts.” John was a member of the Phillips Brook House Association, dedicated to public service in the greater community. He also served as head usher in the Memorial Church, then under the stewardship of the Reverend Peter J. Gomes. As head usher, John led the reading in the chapel service at commencement. After college, John continued on to the Harvard Law School, receiving his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1989. Upon graduating, he accepted a position as law clerk to a federal judge, the Hon. Maryanne T. Barry, at the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Following his clerkship, John served as a trial attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, DC, beginning his career as a member of t h e A t tor n e y G e n e r a l ’s Honors Program. While at the Justice Department, John received two Special Achievement Awards from the Attorney General, one for Sustained Superior Performance of Duty (1993) and the other for Meritorious Acts Performed on Behalf of the Department (1994). Following his service at t he U.S. Depar tment of Justice, John briefly served

as the general counsel in a family-owned business, the Jacobus Pharmaceutical Company, Inc., a position he relished. Following that service, John joined Steptoe & Johnson, LLP, in Washington, DC, where he remained for the rest of his career. Elected partner at Steptoe in 2001, John focused on commercial litigation and arbitrations, often with a focus on insurance and reinsurance/risk trading. He was a distinguished member of the bar, both domestically and on an international basis, and served as chair of the Insurance and Reinsurance Practice Section of Lex Mundi, the world’s largest assembly of private law firms. While at Steptoe, John also devoted a significant amount of time to pro bono work, often with a focus on helping immigrants reach the safety of the United States following persecution or torture abroad. His representation of the underprivileged also included serving as lead counsel in proceedings before the United States Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia Circuit in litigation on behalf of developmentally delayed children, in a case challenging their stewardship by the government of the District of Columbia. John was a lifelong reader and collector of books, which he cherished. History was a particular interest; while he enjoyed building his knowledge on all eras and cultures, World War II and its aftermath were a special focus for him. Together with his partner (and later husband) of 23 years, John enjoyed traveling and seeing both the cultural sites of the world and its geographical wonders from Argentina to Zimbabwe and dozens of countries in between. John enjoyed the culture of urban spaces, but relished getting deep into rustic places as well. He was particularly fond of walking in the woods and along the rocky cliffs at Isle au Haut, Maine, where his family has spent summers for many generations. Isle au Haut held a special place in his heart, often inspiring deeply contemplative moments, especially at night, when the inkblack sky was spread with stars and the murmurs of the ocean sounded nearby. Character was destiny for John, and he believed that kindness was the greatest wisdom. All who knew him would attest that he served as an exemplar of those values his entire life. He was utterly devoted to his husband, David Uhler, and was beloved by his family and many friends. John was predeceased by his brother, William Penman Jacobus, to whom he lovingly gave many hours of thoughtful care during a prolonged period of illness in William’s life. In addition to his husband, John is also survived by his parents, David and Claire Jacobus of Princeton, NJ; his sister Marget Jacobus of Westfield, MA; his sister and brother-in-law Hughie Jacobus and Andrew Hildick-Smith of Winchester, MA; his sister Laura Jacobus of Princeton, NJ; three nephews, Gordon, Seth, and Neil Hildick-Smith; a niece, Ellen Jacobus; and a new grandniece, Sophie, daughter of Gordon and his wife Alice Wisener.

A memorial service for John will be planned for a later date. Those who would like to honor John’s memory in the meantime may wish to make a donation in his honor to the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University (lombardi.georgetown.edu/ giving); the Isle Au Haut Community Development Cor poration ( isleauhaut. org); or the Shakespeare Theatre Company (shakespearetheatre.org/support/ ways-to-give).

Dr. Douglas H. Wiedemann Dr. Douglas H. Wiedemann, 67, a longtime resident of Princeton, died on November 12, 2020 at the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center in Plainsboro. Dr. Wiedemann was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to the late Herbert P. and Henrietta P. Wiedemann. Early in his life, it became clear that he possessed an exceptional gift for mathematics, and this became his lifelong passion. Dr. Wiedemann received a BS degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University in 1975, an MS in computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 1977, and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, in 1986. As an undergraduate, Dr. Wiedemann started to work during the summer at the Institute for Defense Analysis in Princeton. This was the beginning of his long career as a research staff member at the Institute’s Center for Communication Research, where he remained active up until the time of his death. His career at the Center for Communication Research was punctuated by short stints at Thinking Machines Corporation and Sun Microsystems. Dr. Wiedemann was well-known for his work on sparse systems of linear equations over finite fields, which is used in addressing mathematical problems such as factoring integers in an efficient way. Dr. Wiedemann was interested in a great range of matters, from the tangible and physical to the theoretical and abstract. His imaginative and original observations were unique. One of his supervisors wrote the following when Dr. Wiedemann was only 29 years of age: “The beautiful new mathematics that you have discovered and continue to extend in so many directions is one of the most exciting developments in modern cryptanalysis. I understand that you were recently able to use your new techniques to solve an important problem that had defied solution for several years.” Dr. Wiedemann will be greatly missed by his colleagues and family. He remained single throughout his life. He is survived by

Charles Minter “Pat” Patrick, Jr. Charles Minter “Pat” Patrick, Jr. passed away after a brave struggle with Covid-19 on December 24, 2020. He was born in Dallas on November 27, 1933 to Brooksie Smith Patrick and Charles Minter “Pat” Patrick, Sr. He graduated from Highland Park High School and Washington & Lee University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science, was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and captain of the swim team. Following graduation, Pat enlisted in the United States Coast Guard, graduated from Officer Candidate School, and was stationed on Governors Island in New York City. Pat served aboard the USCGC Westwind, earning the Coast Guard Arctic Service Medal. During that time in New York City, Pat began dating Ann Guthrie. When asked how he knew she was “the one,” he replied, “she told me.” In 1958, Ann and Pat married in Dallas, and he called her “my beautiful bride” throughout their 62 years of marriage. Following his service in the Coast Guard, Pat began his lifelong career as an insurance broker with the family company C.M. Patrick Agency. After numerous mergers, Pat joined Alexander & Alexander where he held various positions and earned his Chartered Property & Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designation. In 1987, Pat relocated to New York City as CEO of A&A’s Captive Management Services, settling in Princeton, New Jersey. In 1992, Pat became President of A&A Japan, whereupon Pat and Ann moved to Tokyo. After retiring in 1994, Pat and Ann moved to Rociada in northeastern New Mexico, in the mountain community of Pendaries where he served as Salvation Army board member, Rotary Club of Las Vegas President, and board member of Pendaries Village Community Association. Pat and Ann enjoyed traveling the world,

especially their trips to Great Britain, China, the Soviet Union, Italy, and France. In 2015, Pat and Ann returned to Dallas to The Tradition to be near family and friends. Pat was involved with the Tradition Resident Council Activities group and enjoyed giving historical presentations on the Titanic. Later at Emerson, Pat enjoyed spending time visiting with residents in the dog park and working in the Community Store. Pat was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church and was involved in the parents’ associations of their children’s schools including Christ the King, Jesuit, Ursuline, and Cistercian. Pat was a trustee of the Catholic Foundation and past member of Brook Hollow Golf Club, Idelwild, and Terps. To his wife, children, family, and friends, Pat was kind, funny, patient, loyal, supportive, and generous. He could tell a great story but liked listening to one even more. He was an avid reader; loved history, movies, politics, tennis, and naps; and was “OK” at golf. Pat was a true gentleman who strived to do the right thing. He is survived by his wife Ann; brothers Allyn and wife Julie; Brooks and wife Sharon. Children Charles “Pat” Patrick, III and wife Sheila, their children Charles, Jessica, and Katherine; Aline Patrick; David Patrick and wife Monica, their children Delaney, Sarah, and Lucy; Michael and partner Will Cromley. A private service was held at Calvary Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to The Catholic Foundation, Pastoral Reflections Institute, Cistercian General Scholarship Fund, The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, or the charity of your choice.

An extremely hard worker, her lifelong pursuit of knowledge led her to a commitment to acts of service. She was passionate about Judaism and was deeply committed to Social Justice and Tikun Olam. She was a marvelous and versatile singer in many genres from Broadway, Jazz, and Pop to Gospel, and Jewish Liturgical music. Evette is remembered for her empathy and positive outlook, as someone who wore her heart on her sleeve, she could find humor in any situation and her family and friends will cherish her contagious laugh. She was social, outgoing, and fun loving. A natural listener, she constantly encouraged self-reflection as a means for growth. Through these qualities and selflessness she truly embodied the meaning of an “Eishet Chayil,” a woman of valor. Above all things, Evette loved to spend time with her close family, cooking, watching TV and movies, traveling and playing family games — especially Boggle and Rummikub. Evette is predeceased by her parents Diana and Robert Kaufman. She is survived by her loving husband, Arthur Katlin; her children, Shara Katlin and Aaron Katlin; and her cousin, Adam Sisenwein. Private funeral services and burial were held at the Adath Israel Congregational Plot in Fountain Lawn Memorial Park in Ewing, NJ. To send condolences to the family, visit OrlandsMemorialChapel.com.

Dawn Wilcox Dawn Wilcox, nee Margaret Dawn Elsbury Winter, died peacefully in her sleep on December 26, 2020 in the Rancho Palos Verdes home of her daughter Susan. Dawn was born in Carlisle, England, on March 18, 1929 to Charles Elsbury Winter and Margaret Pearl Winter, nee Wilson. She attended the Carlisle and County High School for Girls and then the Hunmanby Hall School, operating in Armathwaite Hall, Bassenthwaite, during the Second World War. In 1948/49, Dawn completed a translator’s degree at the University of Geneva, where she met Ralph Wilcox, a US veteran of WWII, studying French on the GI bill. Dawn was only 19 and knew that her parents would never let her marry an American, so she returned to England and Ralph to California, and they corresponded for two years until Dawn turned 21. Dawn then spent one year in California before the couple was married on September 6, 1951 in St Michael’s Church in Carlisle. Ralph accepted a job in adult education with the United States Forces, and for the first 15 years of their marriage, they lived in various parts of France,

including Verdun, La Rochelle, Tours, and Fontainebleau, where all three of their children were born, Carol in 1953, Ian in 1955, and Susan in 1958. During the 1960s, Dawn became involved in Girl Scouts, as a much beloved leader of Junior troops and then in the 1970s as a trainer for new leaders. Following her father’s death, Dawn, who could not bear the thought of never seeing him again, sought and found renewed Christian faith, which was central to her life for the subsequent 40 years. In 1966, the family moved to Heidelberg, Germany, and in 1974, to Belgium. In 1985, Ralph retired and returned to Southern California, to Hidden Meadows near Escondido, where they built their dream house with a pool, which Dawn had spent years designing. The couple spent nearly 20 idyllic years in Hidden Meadows, describing every day as “another day in paradise.” During this time, Dawn enjoyed gardening and managed to cultivate a spectacular British rose garden. She was actively involved in the local garden club, a book club, yoga classes, and regularly helped with grandchildren in Hacienda Heights, also hosting and visiting those in Princeton, NJ. After Ralph’s death in 2005, Dawn stayed in her home another five years, until her macular degeneration worsened, rendering independent life impossible. The last decade of her life was divided between her two daughters’ homes, in Princeton, NJ, and Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Dawn loved discovering the world and traveled all over Europe, from Greece to Scandinavia during their

35 years in Europe. A highlight just before retirement was a trip to the Holy Land. In later years, she particularly enjoyed cruises, many of them with Susan, to Bermuda, Alaska, China, New Zealand, and the Baltic Sea. After retirement, Dawn returned to England twice, first in 1998 and in 2007, and she was impressed by the positive changes in her hometown but never did miss the rain! Her last cruise was to the Sea of Cortez, in honor of her 80 th birthday in 2009. Daw n’s greatest joy in life was her family, and she delighted in her three children and five grandchildren, particularly enjoying play ing card games and or g a n i z i n g s p e c i a l o u tings to museums, as well as fun trips for them, such as a trip to see the whales in Baja, California, or to Catalina Island and a cruise around Hawaii in honor of t h e i r 50 t h a n n i ve r s a r y. She was tick led pin k to have par ticipated in kindling grandson Sean’s passion for science at an early age. She will be greatly missed by her three children Carol Wilcox Prevost (Jean Herve) of Princeton, NJ, Ian Wilcox (MaryAnn) of Hacienda Heights, California, and Susan Wilcox of Rancho Palos Verdes, California; her five grandchildren Christopher Prevost (Brenda), Ian Prevost (Nam ) and Olivia Prevost Karr ( Ryan), Sean Wilcox (Lauren) and Lisa Wilcox; and six great-grandchildren Tyler, Landon, Amelia, Lily and Ralph Prevost, and Audrey Karr. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to Heifer, Int., one of Dawn’s favorite charities.

35 • TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2021

Norman Denard Norman Denard, a longtime resident of Princeton, died at the age of 99 on January 9, 2021 at RWJ Somerset. Norman was born in Trenton and graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He was married to his late wife, Roz, for 73 years. Norm and she moved to Princeton in the early 1950s and created a wonderful home and life for themselves and their three children. Norm was a polymath of sorts. He had deep knowledge, interest, and affinities in a wide range of areas and subject matter. These included world cultures, literature, poetry, history, etymology, geography, physics, electricity, natural sciences, climatology, astronomy, writing, religion, foreign language, the arts, philosophy, technology, and classical and folk music. He was always more than happy to delve into conversation on any of these subjects, with family, friends, and acquaintances alike. Norman was a par tner for many years at Mohawk Electric in lower Manhattan. He had dreamed of becoming a teacher and sharing his love of learning, so after retirement he went back to

Jewish heritage and values were two things Norm felt strongly about. As a child, he even gave up his own bed for Golda Meir when she came to Trenton to inspire support for the State of Israel. In the years that followed, he continued to share that commitment with family, friends, and members of the Jewish community. Often he would share a Succoth celebration at home that was both traditional and memorable for all. He was also a committed supporter of the Center for Jewish Life at Princeton University and served as President of The Jewish Center while being involved in its various committees and groups. During WWII, as a member of the U.S. Army Air Corps, he served as a Supply Officer, an Airplane Armament Officer, as well as a Gunnery Instructor stateside. While stationed in the Philippines, Norm was involved in Air and Sea Rescue. He also worked for a time in the U.S. Weather Bureau out of Rochester, NY. Words that describe Norm Denard best would include: gentle, honest, a global humanitarian, compassionate, inquisitive, moral, interesting, intelligent, grateful, and devoted to the love of his life, Roz. Norman is survived by his son Jeff and his daughter Lisa Denard (Peter Koval), including grandchildren, Sean, Jessica, Tracy, Amanda, and Alexis, and two great-grandchildren, Evelyn and Walker. He is predeceased by his wife Roslyn, his daughter, Karen Denard Goldman, parents Samson and Yetta Donskoy, and his sister Bas Zion Kelsey. A memorial service will be planned for a later date.

college and received a Masters in Education including his Teacher’s Certification. Following a few years of subbing and giving it his best shot but not feeling fulfilled, he shifted gears. Norm had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and was a true lover of learning. His involvement with Community Without Walls also served as an opportunity to stay engaged. Whether by extensive reading, participating in Elderhostel and Smithsonian trips, taking courses online, or auditing classes at Princeton, expanding his mind was always important to him. Over the years, in addition to his intellectual bent, he was also ver y happy when participating in a wide range of pastimes. They included canoeing (white and flat water), skiing (downhill and cross country), sailing, motorcycling, bird watching, mucking for marine life at the shore, hiking, woodworking, clay sculpting, snorkeling, photography, fencing, ice skating, and camping. Traveling and adventuring with Roslyn and with close friends was an important aspect of his life, as well. He had the pleasure to visit over 50 countries around the world which included highlights such as Israel, exploring the bridges of Wales, B hut a n, t he s tepp e s of Eastern Mongolia, the Silk Road, Greenland, Kenya, Pakistan, Turkey, Peru, and Tibet. Norm was a staunch supporter of the Free Tibet movement. He never tired of seeing the historical, cultural, and natural wonders of the world. His fascination in the children and people of these countries was caught innumerable times in pictures or tapes as his subjects showed equal captivation in his camera and recorder.

Helps your HVAC system. Changing your air filter helps your HVAC system run more efficiently and may even extend the life of your system. A clogged air filter limits the flow of air through the HVAC system. Repeatedly running the heat or air conditioning with a clogged and dirty air filter can eventually cause HVAC problems. 2. Conserves energy and lowers your heating bill. When the filter is clogged, it takes more energy to heat your home. When the furnace filter is clogged, your furnace has to run longer and harder to maintain the temperature in your house. 3. Improves air quality. A clean air filter will function more properly and capture dust, pollen, pet dander and other particles that are in the environment.
