Princeton Student Freed After Three Years Of Imprisonment in Iran The release last week of Princeton University graduate student Xiyue Wang, imprisoned in Iran for the past three years, was reason to rejoice for his family and members of the University community. Jailed on espionage charges after traveling to Tehran to study Farsi and do research for his dissertation on 19th and early 20th-century Eurasian history, the 38-year-old, third-year doctoral student was freed in a prisoner exchange with Masoud Soleimani, an Iranian scientist arrested last year and convicted on charges he violated trade sanctions against Iran. ““The entire Princeton University community is overjoyed that Xiyue Wang can finally return home to his wife and young son, and we look forward to welcoming him back to campus,” University President Christopher L. Eisgruber said in an issued statement. “We are grateful to everyone, at Princeton and beyond, who has supported Xiyue and his family throughout his unjust imprisonment, and for all the efforts that have led to his release. We would like to especially extend our thanks to the United States government, the government of Switzerland, and the students, faculty, and staff who continued to advocate for Xiyue’s freedom throughout this ordeal.” Wang’s wife Hua Qu also issued a statement. “Our family is complete again,” she said. “Our son Shaofan and I have waited three long years for this day, and it’s hard to express in words how excited we are to be reunited with Xiyue. We are thankful to everyone who helped make this happen.” Following his release, Wang was flown to Zurich in a Swiss government plane. He was met by Brian H. Hook, the State Department’s special representative for Iran, who had negotiated the exchange, and flown to Germany for medical evaluation. The checkup revealed Wang to be healthy and in good spirits. The University community kept Wang’s predicament at the forefront during his imprisonment. He was originally sentenced to 10 years. The most recent gathering was this past October on Chancellor Green, where Wang’s wife spoke and said she was torn between feeling optimistic about his release and being cautious, according to a December 10 article Continued on Page 10

Students Combat Violence, Climate Change Combating both “generalized violence” and climate change, all in the same day, may have become the new normal for high school students. At least that’s what many at Princeton High School (PHS) faced last Friday, as students, slated to lead a mid-day climate strike in downtown Princeton, found that a call to the school threatening “generalized violence,” according to the Princeton Police Department (PPD), necessitated a shelter in place until the school’s 3 p.m. dismissal time. The announcement of a district-wide lockdown came at around 11:15 a.m. during lunch at PHS, where Junior Nate Howard, Princeton Student Climate Initiative member and a leader of the climate rally, was, ironically, attending a lunch meeting of the PHS branch of March For Our Lives, a student-led group that supports legislation to prevent gun violence. According to Howard, the threat was announced just as the group was discussing how a broad decision striking down gun control could lead to more shootings. “What you might expect when there’s an announcement that lunch is over and we need to be in locked classrooms is chaos,” Howard said. “Yet, in some ways, it’s a bad sign that, instead, staff and students

reacted calmly because we’ve been through this before.” He continued, “We’ve grown up normalized to the threat of school violence, and we do regularly-scheduled lockdown drills. The lack of hysteria shows that we’ve become normalized to this violence. Schools shouldn’t face these kinds of threats. They should be places of safety and learning.” The PPD determined that there was no current threat at PHS, but they remained on site at the high school and maintained a presence at other district schools as well. “The threat was nonspecific and our investigation continues,”

said PPD Chief Nick Sutter. After-school and evening activities on Friday went on as planned, with a police presence on and around campus. Police stated that the anonymous call, which reported a potential threat, originated outside of Princeton. The state chapter of March for Our Lives tweeted, “This is just a small reminder of what life is like for American students. We are not safe and we need change.” A March for Our Lives PHS statement added, “This is why we need commonsense gun laws, both in New Jersey and nationally.” The organization advocates Continued on Page 7

Schools Aspire to Achieve Equity, Staff Listens to Students’ Voices

Two years ago the Princeton Public Schools undertook an equity audit conducted by an outside expert. The results of that study continue to drive many of the district’s ongoing efforts in the quest for equity, most recently in a series of in-service training workshops that took place during a half-day professional day on Monday at all the schools. “It’s not a theme of the year. It’s not

an add-on to the work we are doing. It is the work,” said Superintendent Steve Cochrane at last week’s PPS Board of Education meeting. Describing the PPS as “an ideal environment in which ”to strive for both equity and excellence,” the audit report cited the PPS “stated commitment to equity, strong academic outcomes, and a budding commitment to culturally responsive Continued on Page 13

New Book on the Sourlands Details Treasures of the Region Jim Amon had been leading nature walks through the Sourlands for 20 years when it occurred to him that visitors might not be learning as much as they could

about the treasured region encompassing parts of Mercer, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties. He decided it was time to write a book. “It became clear to me that a lot of people just see green, and they don’t know what they’re looking at,” said Amon of Seeing the Sourlands, a coffee table book-style collection of essays and photographs. Newly released, the book’s sales will benefit the Sourland Conservancy.

TOPICS Of the Town “If people k new more about what they were seeing, they would get more out of it,” Amon continued. “I wrote the book in the style of someone who says, ‘I’m not really an expert but I’ve done some research and this is what I found out, and isn’t it wonderful?’ And that’s an accurate representation of who I am.” Not an expert? Amon was the executive director of the D &R Canal Commission for 29 years, overseeing its development from an abandoned waterway to the most visited state park in New Jersey. He also spent 10 years as director of stewardship for the D&R Greenway Land Trust, doing ecological restoration work on more than 100 nature preserves. “I have no formal training in the sciences,” Amon said, modestly. “I was a philosophy major in college. But I have learned along the way.” Raised in Ohio, A mon moved to Hopewell Borough after taking a job with the New York office of Oxford University Press. He was an editor of scholarly books in history, anthropology, and politics there before his hiring by the D&R Canal Commission upon its establishment in 1974. For the last five years he has written a blog, “Seeing the Sourlands,” published by the Sourland Conservancy with essays and photographs of plants and animals in the region. Amon was a founder of D&R Greenway in 1989. When he retired from the Canal Commission, he be-

Members adopt a preserve, and Amon’s own is 187 acres located in parts of Hopewell Township and East Amwell. Asked if he has a favorite place in the Sourlands, he didn’t hesitate to cite his adopted preserve. “I’ve been going there most Monday mornings for five years, and I try to do some ecological restoration and path-clearing,” he said. “I go there other days, too, just to walkHamilton-NJ_TownTopics around.” Supa-hero (5.125x8).qxp_Layout 1 12/9/19 11:43 AM Page 1 www.princetonmagazinestore.com Continued on Next Page

“Seeing the Sourlands” Continued from Preceding Page

One of Amon’s goals with Seeing the Sourlands is to make people aware of the region’s accessibility. “Most people have this notion that if they want to experience the natural world, they have to get in their car and drive hours and hours to Maine or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan,” he said. “But I drive 10 minutes from my house in Lambertville, and I’m in this special place. It’s not distant and remote. So it’s not only beautiful and natural, but it’s handy. It’s part of your life. And that makes it special.” —Anne Levin

Winter Duck Walks In Roebling Park

Every winter the Abbott Marshlands becomes a popular vacation destination; for ducks, that is. Find out why so many visitors are flocking to this area by joining the Nature Programs during their Winter Duck Walks in Roebling Park at Spring Lake. This free program will take place on Sunday, December 15; Sunday, January 12; and Sunday, February 9, from 1 to 3 p.m. The Abbott Marshlands is a mecca for migrating waterfowl. Many species can find the food needed to refuel, spend some time bonding with potential mates and rest before their next long trip. Learn about these migrating birds and their journey, then stop by the Tulpehaking Nature Center to warm up with hot chocolate. Spring Lake is accessible from Sewell Avenue, off South Broad Street. The Park Commission will provide extra binoculars for those who need them. Dress for cold, windy weather. This program is appropriate for adults and teens. Those interested in the Winter Duck Walks and other upcoming programs can register through Community Pass at https://register.communitypass.net/reg/ season_2019-2020. The Tulpehaking Nature Center is located at 157 Westcott Avenue, Hamilton. It is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, call (609) 888-3218 or visit www.mercercountyparks.org.

“I think it’s a cool thing. The community is really liking it and everyone is having fun.” —Ellen Whiteside, Princeton

Celeste: “It’s fun, but not real ice, so it’s a little strange. It’s not quite slippery enough, and can feel like skating on a cutting board.” Clover: “I’m having fun.” —Celeste Sales with Clover Mandracchia, both of Montgomery

Andrew: “I like it because I’m new to skating and it’s not as slippery as ice skating. I can still glide and it has the same basics as ice skating. Plus, the atmosphere is really cool being in downtown Princeton.” Gillian: “I think it’s really fun. I play ice hockey and it feels a lot different than skating on ice. It’s very Christmassy, and I like the spirit here!” Frankie: “The ice rink is really fun. It’s easier than ice skating, so if you’re new to ice skating this is a good option.” —Andrew McManimon with Gillian Lee and Frankie Bancroft, all of Pennington

raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21, banning assault weapons, strengthening background checks, and enacting comprehensive gun control legislation at the federal level since 80 percent of New Jersey’s gun deaths are caused by guns from out of state. Climate Strike Meanwhile the student climate strike, somewhat diminished in the absence of the PHS students who hadn’t been able to leave the locked down building after 11:15 a.m., continued unabated in Princeton’s Hinds Plaza adjacent to the Princeton Public Library. As world leaders gathered at the United Nations’ annual climate conference in Madrid and young people protested across the country, about 40 Princeton participants, many with posters bearing demands such as “Climate Justice Now,” “Take Ownership of Our Future,” “Stop Compressor Station 206,” and “Save Our Planet,” listened to speeches by a handful of speakers calling for action. Proposing a call to action to stop using plastic bags, Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice Chief Activist Robt Seda-Schreiber stated, “We feel overwhelmed and helpless at the worst possible time. We must rally and prevail for our children and grandchildren.” PHS junior and rally coleader Martin Mastnak, who was able to exit PHS before the lockdown, urged the protesters, “The movement for climate justice involves social and political justice. We will keep fighting. Unless we together bring climate justice to those suffering most today, we will all suffer together tomorrow.”

Wa r n i n g of i m m i n e n t dangers from global warming, local ninth-grader and environmental activist Zahra Loue noted, “Climate change is killing our planet. I want the people in power to do something. Climate action needs to happen now. Climate justice needs to happen now. Time is running out. You need to stop thinking about your money and think about the earth.” Sustainable Princeton Executive Director Molly Jones cited the Princeton Climate Action Plan as “a great step forward.” She continued, “Now we need to carry out the actions to support that plan, to reduce emissions and make our community more resilient.” She urged the audience to contact state legislators in support of the bill to ban plastic bags, which is currently being deliberated in the state senate. Other speakers included Central Jersey Environmental Defender Outreach Coordinator Linda Powell, who called for widespread opposition to natural gas pipeline projects in the state, and representatives for the Eastern Service Workers, who advocate for low income workers who are hit hardest by extreme weather events, which are increasing due to climate change. Lee Clark, Phillipsburg City councilman and watershed outreach manager at the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, spoke to the gathering about the urgency for taking action and holding the legislature accountable. “ We a r e t h e g e n e r a tion that will stop climate change,” he said. “Movements like this are significant not only for the reasons we organize, but for who we organize. It’s very rare to see a movement like this led by young people, that is spoken through the voice of

young people, that is seen through the perspective of young people. When we see it today it is a sign that we’re passing the mantle to the next generation.” A press release announcing the Princeton strike stated, “The future of humanity is in jeopardy. We refuse to ignore a crisis that overshadows our lives. We refuse to wait until it is too late. We refuse to let our earth be irreparably damaged in silence. Politicians and their lobbyists have allowed our planet to be destroyed. They need to stand up for our future or step down.” Kaitlin Barakat, of the NJ League of Conservation Voters, added, “We have to keep fighting so that people of power do what they’re CLIMATE STRIKERS: About 40 students and other local residents gathered in Hinds Plaza on Friday, December 6, joining an international strike to protest inaction in the face of climate change. A lockdown supposed to do.” —Donald Gilpin at Princeton High School due to a swatter threat prevented many students from attending the rally.

Dina Paulson-McEwen Takes Reins As New Executive Director of LALDEF

Dina Paulson-McEwen Dina Paulson-McEwen, a writer, educator, and editor, will be taking over this month as executive director of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund ( LALDEF), based in Trenton and serving 3,000 clients annually throughout Mercer County. She succeeds Adriana Abizadeh, whose three-year tenure saw an unprecedented period of growth at LALDEF. With 15 paid staff and more than 40 volunteers, LALDEF provides English-as-a-Second Language classes, legal representation in immigration matters, tax preparation assistance, supports for victims of domestic violence, community identification cards, and education programs for youngsters in transition to college. A Q ueens, New York, native of Ecuadorean and Jewish descent, PaulsonMcEwen is the founder of

Aqua Editing LLC, a story developer for creative thinkers. She has worked as a communications leader, a fundraiser for nonprofits, and an LGBTQ staff liaison in a Detroit early education and day care center. She organized and oversaw more than 1,000 volunteers at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, mentored high school st udents in e x p o s i to r y w r i t i n g a n d the college essay at Write for the Future, and published monthly blog posts for Women’s Healthcare of Princeton. She currently serves as a member of the Princeton Human Services Commission and holds a master’s degree in international educational development with a concentration in peace education from Columbia University. “Being a writer, a wordsand-content person, I think

will guide me well to be a strong presence — a fierce, polished, put-together advocate — for LALDEF’s mission to keep providing an unparalleled number of services to the immigrant community in Mercer County,” said Paulson-McEwen. Looking to the future of L A LDEF, she continued, “Our main priorities are increasing our funding, thinking big and wide, and making new partnerships that will elevate our funding, allowing us to significantly increase our programming and thus be able to offer our services to more people, as well as offer more services to our current clients.” She went on to express the need to expand LALDEF’s work in legal services, adult education, youth education, individual and policy-based advocacy, and the Community ID Program. She emphasized the importance of working to “support immigrants in getting themselves situated to have more mobility in order to be able to meet their basic needs and thus be able to grow

and eventually thrive.” Paulson-McEwen described becoming involved with the Princeton Human Services Commission “by way of my activism around the child migrant detention center stories that broke las t s u m m er, b e g i n n i ng with Clint, Texas, in June.” Paulson-McEwen was one of the organizers of the Princeton Lights 4 Liberty rally last summer, and worked directly with one of the central lawyers in the Clint case. Princeton Councilwoman Letitia Fraga introduced Paulson-McEwen to Human Services and its mission. “Human Services is focused on serving the underserved populations in Princeton,” Paulson-McEwen said. “Focused on helping and helping to lift up, we do awesome things like work on a Welcome to Princeton guide or advocate on behalf of undocumented children in our community who need better and quicker access to vaccinations to enable them to attend school.” She added, “Human services, the work of LALDEF — helping people, loving people, believing in education — these are my passion areas.” —Donald Gilpin

in the Princeton Alumni Weekly. Numerous organizations and individuals have released statements since Wang’s release. U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was a cosponsor of a bipartisan resolution urging Iran to release Wang. He led a 2017 letter urging the U.S. Department of State to take steps to secure the release of Wang and other Americans wrongfully detained in Iran. “I’m elated that, after three years of painful separation and uncertainty, Princeton University student Xiyue Wang and his family will finally be reunited,” Booker said. “This is the outcome that New Jerseyans and those around the globe who followed this unjust and politically motivated ordeal had hoped for. I’m grateful for the efforts of those who worked tirelessly and quietly behind the scenes to help bring Xiyue Wang home. Their relentless pursuit of justice is proof that diplomacy is absolutely essential.” The Richardson Center for Global Engagement, which

“promotes global peace and dialogue by identifying and working on areas of opportunity for engagement and citizen diplomacy with countries and communities not usually open to more formal diplomatic channels,” according to its website, also issued a statement. Bill Richardson, former governor of New Mexico, worked closely on behalf of Wang’s wife to end his imprisonment. “Securing Wang’s release involved multifaceted efforts and negotiations, relying on personal relations and respect,” the statement reads. “Governor Richardson and the Richardson Center want to thank the Qatari Government for their partnership in helping secure the release of the wrongfully detained. The Qataris efforts, and those of others, often go understated and thus less known to the American public.” According to the article in the Princeton Alumni Weekly, Wang’s doctoral adviser, history professor Stephen Kotkin, said he had spoken to Wang by phone after his release and that he plans to return to his doctoral work at the University when he returns. —Anne Levin

“

As a trainee at American Repertory Ballet/Princeton Ballet School, dancing is my passion and my art. As a dancer, I am constantly striving to optimize my physical technique and artistic expression, which places extreme demands on my body every day. There is nothing more important to me than pursuing optimal health and maintaining my musculoskeletal strength and flexibility. To that purpose, I am happy and grateful to put my trust in the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center. All dancers eventually get injuries but Dr. Bracilovic and her colleagues have kept me strong and dancing. I am able to perform on stage and follow my dreams. I am comforted in the knowledge that if I need help with achieving my goals, the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center are here for me.

Town May Be Close to a Settlement On Affordable Housing Obligation Princeton may finally have an affordable housing plan in place. Mayor Liz Lempert said Monday, December 9 that the town is close to reaching a settlement with the advocacy group Fair Share Housing Center. Should all go as planned, Princeton Council will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, December 18 at 7:30 p.m. in Witherspoon Hall to present the settlement agreement to the public and vote on the first set of items needed to act on in coming months. “One of the most difficult aspects of pulling together this plan has been operating under the constraints of a legal process directed by the courts instead of an open planning process prescribed under regulations that should have been established by the state legislature,” Lempert said in a statement on Tuesday. “We have tried our best to protect the interests of the community by following the advice of legal council to keep negotiations confidential while communicating with the community as fully as possible under these constraints.” Under a ruling by Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mar y Jacobson in March, 2018, Princeton is required to build 753 new affordable units by 2025. The town will receive credits for affordable homes built bet ween 1999 and 2018. That obligation has not changed, Lempert said. “We have already built 256 units for which we will receive

credit,” she said. “We are also eligible for a sizable number of bonus credits. One major addition to the May 2018 plan is the addition of the former SAVE animal shelter site, which will produce 64 affordable residences in an 100 percent affordable development. In addition, as has already been publicly announced, the town has been in discussions with Avalon Bay Communities, Inc. about development at Thanet Circle. There will also be some adjustments to the new housing component at the Shopping Center — a spot that is widely viewed as a promising location for housing since it is close to shopping, transit, and jobs.” Judge Jacobson’s ruling last year applied to Princeton and West Windsor. While West Windsor approved the settlement, Princeton did not, making it the only remaining municipalit y in Mercer County to not reach a settlement. The two towns had been part of a court case by several municipalities challenging their affordable housing obligations. Should plans proceed as hoped, the December 18 meeting will be the first step in the approval process. “The next step will be a Fairness Hearing, tentatively scheduled for February 7, to determine the terms of the settlement agreement, in the eyes of the court, and create a realistic opportunity for development of the court-mandated affordable housing units,” said Lempert. “Once the settlement is approved by the court, the

municipality will be given several months to adopt the related zoning ordinances and prepare other documentation to demonstrate compliance.” Lempert said the town has been committed to affordable housing, with more than 100 affordable units recently built at the Avalon Princeton and Merwick Stanworth developments. “In our negotiations with Fair Share, we have pushed for a plan that meets our obligation while at the same time supporting the goals of economic diversity, adequate housing for our seniors, and development rooted in the smart growth principles of building in areas with access to transit, shopping, and jobs,” she said. —Anne Levin

This is not just theory. It’s actually hearing from our kids.” “The teachers have embraced the idea of getting

to know students and their families,” said Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Annie Kosek. “The buy-in this year has been much greater than in the past.” Cochrane described how Monday’s workshops took participants beyond theory, bridging the “mind-heart gap” that PHS graduates Priya Vulchi and Winona Guo referred to in a 2018 TED Talk on racial literacy. “We went beyond an intellectual understanding of implicit bias or an objective analysis of the data showing

A home-like birthing experience.

Featured guest speaker at JWMS was Fatema Sumrein, a middle school English teacher, who spoke about her youth as a Palestinian student in both Palestine and the United States. “She spoke about two occasions when caring educators helped to make her feel ‘seen’ when she felt like no one really understood or cared,” Burr wrote in an email. “Ms. Sumrein reminded us to make sure that we ‘see’ all of our students.” At Joh ns on Park ( J P ) Elementar y School, staff members used the results of a pupil survey, a set of releva nt s cenar ios, a nd a school-wide reading of Jerry Craft’s graphic novel New Kid to consider how JP can enhance support of its diverse student population. “C o l l e g i a l g r o u p s r e sponded to our children’s voices, exploring aspects of cultural responsiveness, sensitivity to issues related to micro-aggressions and code-switching, and considering how to make aspects of school life more welcoming and inclusive,” said JP Principal Robert Ginsberg. The Littlebrook Elementary program featured six different sessions, including Equity in the Classroom,

Pathways to Conversation, Braids for Identity, Conversations to Reach Students (We’ve Got This!), Courageous Conversations, and T he Teaching Tolerance Curriculum. Community Park’s equity leadership team conducted s ma l l - g roup d is cus s ions using case studies and the data from previous student surveys, while Riverside Elementary teachers and staff participated in a variety of equity-related activities involving community-building, analysis of survey data collected from students and parents, and discussion of equity and internal bias. “It is in caring fiercely for every one of our kids that we collectively gain the will to change ourselves and our practices to become the schools in which all children will truly thrive,” Cochrane noted in summing up the schools’ quest for equity. “I was moved by the compassion I felt among our staff on Monday, and I was moved by the candor and excitement our students showed when given the opportunity to be a part of the process by which we transform our schools together.” —Donald Gilpin

Leaf Piles Along Streets Create Difficult Situation

To the Editor: Well, it isn’t working is it? Leaf piles! Driving home from the airport last Sunday through the first real (though luckily not major) snow of the season involved dodging around leaf piles of all sizes along the streets of Princeton. Later, the salting trucks were out, facing the same difficult situation. It seems that when the printed pick-up schedule comes in the mail many homeowners do not read it, do not keep it in a safe place for future reference, or simply decide to ignore it. Landscapers could be instructed to put the leaves they collect into bags instead of piling them at curbside. Alternatively, households that contribute to the potentially hazardous situation might have to be charged for the removal of their leaf piles. ELIZABETH DANSON Cedar Lane

Environmental Health Specialist Levine Will Be “Greatly Missed”

To the Editor: I was sorry to learn of the recent departure of senior registered environmental health specialist Keith Levine from the Princeton Health Department. Health specialist Levine was a dedicated civil servant who displayed professionalism, knowledge, efficiency, compassion, and caring in the performance of his duties and was always attentive to that call no matter how busy he was. Health specialist Levine was the only official I contacted who was responsive to the complaints of tenants of Elm Court and Harriet Bryan House when management was complacent about trash piling up in the trash rooms and other problems too numerous to mention. He will be greatly missed by everyone who had occasion to solicit his help and Princeton’s loss will certainly be someone else’s gain. We can ill afford to lose people of this caliber in Princeton. LINDA RICKER Elm Court

“We Want Our Children To Be Happy. That’s the Main Thing, Isn’t It?”

To the Editor: “U.S. Students Fail to Gain Ground in International Test” is the headline of an article in the Wednesday, December 4, issue of The Wall Street Journal. The exam, called the Program for International Student Assessment, is given to teenage students around the world. The American results are nothing to be proud of. In mathematics, for example, the average scores of the ten leading countries, located in East Asia and Northern Europe, ranged from a high of 591 (China) to a low of 515 (Poland). The average score for the United States was 478. This is nothing new. For years we’ve seen the scores of American students lag behind those of most other civilized countries in reading, mathematics and science. It was interesting to read on the same day, in Town Topics [PHS Takes Steps To Combat Student Stress, page one, Dec.

Facts in Support of Continuing Princeton Community Access TV

To the Editor: In a federalist system like ours, information about the issues and conflicts faced in local jurisdictions is essential to self-government. Princeton government has faced budget crunches recently and spinning off the Princeton Community TV and Media Center saves the government money. Princeton Community Access TV and Media Center, which is funded through regional negotiations with companies like Comcast, serves our community’s information needs in the digital age. It is a physical space dedicated to programming created locally and offers residents an outlet to express their views on local issues. In 2017, former N.J. Governor Thomas Kean asked the state to support public TV after the spectrum auction win. “Public TV network provides critical local news and public affairs programming and also supports New Jersey through community engagement projects.” said Kean, NJ.com commentary. In 2018, New Jersey created the Civic Information Consortium, a first-of-its-kind nonprofit with the mission of strengthening local-news coverage and boosting civic engagement in communities across the state. In August 2019 Governor Murphy allocated up to $2 million in funding for the consortium. Princeton is distinctive. It is home to a renowned University, the Dinky and PCTV, all things that other communities wish they had. During this season of giving, perhaps Princeton Government will consider adequate financial support for PCTV while the station continues developing ways to raise revenue to support its operations through collaborations with local organizations, local business, and grants. As Woodrow Wilson observed in 1898, “Our local areas are not governed. They act for themselves....The large freedom of action and broad scope of function given to local authorities is the distinguishing characteristic of the American system of government.” JANET WOLINETZ Bainbridge Street

This event is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Program on Science and Global Secur it y and the Coalition for Peace Action. A New York Times Best Book of the Year, “Midnight in Chernobyl is top-notch historical narrative: a tense, fast-paced, engrossing, and revelatory product of more than a decade of research,” according to a starred review in Booklist, which observes that, “For all its wealth of information, the work never becomes overwhelming or difficult to follow. Higginbotham humanizes the tale, maintaining a focus on the people involved and the choices, both heroic and not, they made in unimaginable circumstances. This is an essential human tale with global consequences.” Adam Higginbotham writes for The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Wired, GQ, and Smithsonian. A former assistant director for national security in the White House Office of Science and Technology, Frank von Hippel’s areas of policy research include nuclear arms control and nonproliferation, energy, and checks and balances in policymaking for technology.

Celebrating the Musical Extremes of Berlioz on His Birthday

aking room for Monday’s New York Times in the chaos of my work space are Berlioz the Bear, a slender storybook for children written and illustrated by Jan Brett, alongside a copy of The Memoirs of Hector Berlioz, who was born on December 11, in 1803 and died on March 8, 1869, making this his sesquicentenary year. Late the night before, I’d left the Memoirs open to a paragraph in which the famously tempestuous French composer is expounding on a caricature of himself as “a colossal nightingale, a lark the size of an eagle.” Thus the presence of the Times on my desk, folded open to a photograph of Sesame Street’s Big Bird reading a storybook resembling Berlioz the Bear to a couple of kids. While it’s unfortunate that the cheery image accompanies an obituary for the “whole-body puppeteer” Caroll Spinney, it’s not often lately that page one of the Times has roused something sunnier than a grimace or a groan. Besides the fun of imagining Berlioz embodied in a double-bassplaying bear who would be at home on Sesame Street, the coincidence encourages a closer look at the passage where even as he seems to be taking issue with Heinrich Heine’s hyperbolic portrayal of his music, Berlioz obviously enjoys repeating the poet’s vision of its “fabulous empires of preternatural depravity, and many a cloud-capped impossible wonder,” and the way “its magical strains conjure up Babylon, the hanging gardens of Semiramis,” and “the marvels of Nineveh.” But what actually bothers Berlioz is Heine’s claim that his music has “little melody” and “no real simplicity whatever.” After receiving a profoundy apologetic letter from the poet praising his oratorio L’Enfance du Christ as “a masterpiece of simplicity” with “the most exquisite blooms of melody,” Berlioz scolds Heine for behaving “like a critic” and making “a categorical statement about an artist when you only know part of his work.” Westminster Sings Berlioz Several weeks ago when I was recalling the year we lived near the Westminster Choir College campus, I made a point of listening to the Choir’s Christmas at Carnegie Hall performance of “The Shepherd’s Farewell to the Holy Family” from The Childhood of Christ, as L’Enfance du Christ is referred to throughout David Cairn’s translation of the Memoirs. Besides the obvious association with the Christmas story, the English version of the title reinforces the season’s central emotional relationship to childhood. Berlioz prefaces his response to the “Colossal Nightingale” stereotype by pointing out that the “passionate expression” associated with his music is in effect even when the subject is “the opposite of passion, and gentle, tender feelings are being expressed, or a profound calm — the sort of expression that people have claimed to find in The Childhood of Christ.”

If you grew up singing “Silent Night” and “Little Town of Bethlehem,” you may have experienced what the composer means by “gentle, tender feelings” and “profound calm.” It’s possible that children are first made aware of, if not moved by, the fusion of poetry and music in phrases like “All is calm, all is bright,” “tender and mild,” and “How still we see thee lie,” “thy deep and dreamless sleep,” the “silent stars,” and “in thy dark streets shineth.” Simply writing those words makes me think I’m surely not the only reader that the latter carol helped make susceptible to lines like “And little town, thy streets for evermore/ Will silent be” in Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn.” The same emotional mixture graces “The Shepherd’s Farewell.” Looking at the faces of the Westminster singers in the YouTube clip, you have to wonder how, even after hours of tireless rehearsal, they could manage to sing such music without choking up.

No less can you doubt his fondness for the role of the embattled warrior, as in the preface written in London, March 21, 1848. After referring to “the juggernaut of Republicanism” rolling across Europe, he proclaims: “Let us therefore make use of the time that is left, even though I may soon have to emulate the stoicism of those Indians of the Niagara who, after striving valiantly againt the stream, recognize that their efforts are useless and, abandoning themselves finally to the current, contemplate with steadfast eye the short distance between them and the abyss, and sing, till the very moment that the cataract seizes them and whirls them to infinity.” And this is before you even get to the opening paragraph of the Memoirs describing the author’s coming into the world “unheralded by any of the portents in use in poetic times to announce the arrival of those destined for glory. Can it be that our age is lacking in poetry?”

A Hoax It’s typical that Berlioz, the creator of “fabulous empires of preternatural depravity,” presented that peerless choral music on 12 November 1850, not as a carol but “as a hoax” he passed off, according to his biographer/translator Cairns, “as the work of an imaginary 17th-century composer” he dubbed “Ducré.” No surprise, he was delighted to discover that “many people who hated his music were taken in and praised it, one lady even going so far as to say, ‘Berlioz would never be able to write a tune as simple and charming as this little piece by old Ducré.’ “ Passionate Extremes Reading the Memoirs, you never doubt the depth of “passionate expression” in the man, the writer, and the composer, nor do you doubt why his personality and the extremes in his music alienated critics of the day in both France and England.

Remembered Feeling In his introduction to the Colin Davis/London Symphony Orchestra recording of “The Childhood of Christ,” David Cairns explains why the music “never takes the short step into sentimentality, and in the most perilous places, like the scene in the stable, never seems in any danger of doing so.” The naiveté of the piece is “a natural naiveté” found in the character and make-up of Berioz’s musical style and perhaps too in his own personality.” More important, “beyond the possession of a musical style which could adapt itself to such simple sublimities, there must be something else — the memory of childhood beliefs” that “had once been central to his life. As a boy, his first musical experiences had come to him in the context of the church. By the time he wrote ‘The Childhood of Christ,’ he had long ceased to be a

Christian in any conventional or even unconventional sense. But the past increasingly dominated him,” and “the intensity of remembered feeling was such that, in composing the work, he could momentarily re-enter a world in which the personages and events of the Christmas story ... were once again vibrantly alive.” Bird and Bear In the context of childhood and Berlioz, probably the most resonant line in the Times’ lengthy obit devoted to Big Bird is Caroll Spinney’s observation, “I think most people completely forget what it was like being a kid by the time they grow up.” Something of the same idea is in Picasso’s muchquoted, “It takes a very long time to become young.” You can get to that place in no time when you sing “Silent Night” or listen to “The Shepherd’s Farewell.” Nor does it take a suspension of disbelief for any grown-up kid to find pleasure in Berlioz the Bear, which is beautiful to look at and simple to follow without ever being patronizing or taking “the short step into sentimentality.” The bear playing double bass has a stature and dignity and determination his human namesake would approve of. Leading his small band through adversity as the mule-borne cart carrying the musicians becomes mired in a hole, and with the hour of performance in a nearby town looming, Berlioz never loses his cool, or plays the “embattled hero” for that matter. Jan Brett’s story is a model of simplicity, nicely balanced with her skillfully elaborate and evocative artwork. If you wonder about the provenance of her tale and its title character, look no farther than the dedication “To Joe.” A little searching online and you discover that the author’s husband, Joseph Hearne, is a bassist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and that chances are he has a fondness for the music of Berlioz. Berlioz 150 ccording to the website Berlioz 150, the UK is marking the 150th anniversary of Berlioz’s death with a number of initiatives intended to “raise awareness of and enthusiasm for classical music, especially among children – including those who lack access to music education. The culmination of the programme will be Fantastique! the largest-ever children’s choral event in the UK, with a target of 10,000 singing children, aimed at recreating something of the impact of the Charity Children’s Concert which Berlioz attended in St Paul’s Cathedral in June 1851 and is said to have described as “the most extraordinary thing I have seen and heard in the whole of my existence.” —Stuart Mitchner

CHRISTMAS EVE CHORUS

Princeton University Orchestra Presents Two Monumental Romantic Symphonic Works

n a concert taking place as University students are preparing for Christmas vacation, the Princeton University Orchestra presented a program which certainly entitled its members to enjoy their holiday break. Led by conductor Michael Pratt, the Orchestra performed two largescale Romantic symphonic works which showed the strength and power of the ensemble, even before the school year is half over. Friday night’s performance at Richardson Auditorium (the concert was also presented Thursday night) featured Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major. Both in the prime of their compositional lives when these works were composed, Rachmaninoff and Bruckner were archetypes of the lush orchestration and emotional drama which marked 19th-century music. Rachmaninoff based his 1934 Rhapsody for solo piano and orchestra on a melodic theme from the last of Niccolò Paganini’s 24 violin “Caprices,” likely composed in 1807. Beyond a virtuoso violinist as well as composer, Paganini was alleged to have cut a deal with the devil in return for his extraordinary talent. In particular, “Caprice” No. 24 was considered one of the most technically difficult pieces ever composed for violin, and Rachmaninoff brought the same demonic virtuosic requirements to the piano soloist. Pratt and the Orchestra began the Rhapsody decisively, with the theme’s fiendish quirkiness evident from the outset. Precise in rhythmic punctuation, the Orchestra continually demonstrated graceful lyricism and delicate ends of phrases. Featured in the Rachmaninoff Rhapsody was pianist Francine Kay, a member of the performance faculty at the University. Throughout the 24 variations of the Rhapsody, Kay achieved the seemingly impossible technical demands with focus and intensity, showing especially strong and fluid playing which allowed the uppermost register of the piano to resound in the hall. Often executing flawless extended passages of crossed hands, Kay kept the audience at rapt attention while Pratt maintained effective suspense and drama from the Orchestra. Instrumental

soloists adding color and finesse to the performances included oboist Vedrana Ivesic and horn player Benjamin Edelson. Pratt paired Rachmaninoff’s technically fierce work with a towering symphony of Bruckner, a composer whose music was just as forward-looking as that of Rachmaninoff, but was also a meditation on the miracle of nature and God’s beauty. Beginning with a low rumble of strings, Symphony No. 4 recalled the Alpine grandeur of the composer’s native Austria through majestic brass writing. French horn soloist Linus Wang effectively carried the bulk of the challenging horn solo work, but all the brass deserve credit for adding the appropriate expansive atmosphere. Lang’s initial horn solo in the first movement called out over the Alpine mountains as the thunderstorm in the orchestration built. Answered by pairs of flutes and clarinets and a rich sectional cello melody, the movement later evoked a peaceful walk through the hillside. hroughout the four-movement work, Pratt consciously observed “Bruckner time” — the unhurried pace at which the composer unfolded his music. The second movement was somber yet light, with horns playing as if from afar. With the viola section placed at the edge of the stage, a prominent sectional viola melody showed dynamic contrasts and refined phrasing. A quartet of horns presented a spirited hunting call in the third movement, with the rest of the brass clean and precise in rhythm. Pratt maintained clarity within the lush orchestration of this movement, as the ensemble effectively grew in sound to full volume. The Orchestra kept the musical tension well under wraps in the closing movement, and the Symphony ended majestically with a characteristic Bruckner brass chorale from four trombones, tuba, and horns. More than one hour long, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 was a challenge for the players in intensity and stamina. In both the Rachmaninoff and Bruckner works, the Princeton University Orchestra showed its mettle, never seeming to run out of energy or drive. —Nancy Plum

The Princeton University Orchestra will present its next set of concerts on Friday, March 6 and Saturday, March 7, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium. Conducted by Michael Pratt and Reilly Bova, these performances will feature winners of the 2020 Concerto Competition, as well as music of Carl Maria von Weber and University graduate student Annika Socolofsky.

Theatre Intime Continues Season with “Measure for Measure”; Shakespeare’s Dark Comedy is Juxtaposed Against Current Issues

heatre Intime, whose cast and production team consist of Princeton University students, has continued its season with Measure for Measure. Presented with the Princeton Shakespeare Company, the production has offered a resolutely contemporary interpretation of Shakespeare’s play (1603 or 1604), which explores themes that include piety, lust, and hypocrisy. Although it is classified as a comedy in the 1623 First Folio, Measure for Measure is a “strange mix of comedy and serious topics,” director Naomi Park acknowledges in a program note. “I’ve tried to work through these issues, cutting and mixing up the text. I brought the show into the light of the Me Too Movement, highlighting women’s issues and homophobia.” “However, it is still far from a perfect play,” Park continues. “I chose, therefore, to use the framing device of a staged reading — reminding you that this is a play, not a thing to take at face value, and not an art piece whose message I fully endorse.” This framing concept might have been even more organic in a play such as Henry V, whose prologue breaks the fourth wall to ask the audience “gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play.” Nevertheless, in Measure for Measure more than one character pretends to be someone else — in other words, plays a role — so it is an apt directorial choice to remind the audience that it is watching a performance. Notably the use of scripts is varied. In the early scenes, Park has the performers studiously appear to be reading their lines, but later this is more sporadic. Certain key monologues still are performed from memory, even if the actor holds a notebook. This often leads to a marked improvement in the clarity and conviction with which line readings are delivered. The Duke of Vienna decides to have his deputy, Angelo, rule in his stead. (Signs carried by protestors at the beginning of the play suggest that the Duke is unpopular.) The Duke wishes to appear a benevolent ruler, but he also wants law and order to be strictly enforced. The Duke disguises himself as a friar, to discover the viewpoint of the people. Zealous in the executing of his duties, Angelo sentences to death Claudio, the sibling of the novitiate Isabella, who is preparing to enter a nunnery. (In the script, Claudio’s crime is impregnating his fiancée, Juliet. In this production Claudio is a woman, so the relationship with Juliet becomes the crime, adding Park’s exploration of homophobia.) Isabella pleads for mercy for Claudio. Initially Angelo refuses to spare Claudio, but he offers to do so if Isabella will sacrifice her virginity to him. (As a villain, Angelo is not unlike Frollo in Victor Hugo’s novel Notre-Dame de Paris, and Scarpia in the Puccini opera Tosca.) Isabella rejects the proposition, and informs Claudio of it. Overhearing the latter conversation, the Duke contrives a plan to help both Claudio and Isabella.

The Duke is aware that Angelo had a fiancée, Mariana, whom he jilted. He convinces Isabella to pretend to accept Angelo’s offer, but to surreptitiously switch with Mariana — a plot device that also is used in All’s Well That Ends Well. Mariana agrees, and the plan works; the veiled Mariana takes Isabella’s place. However, Angelo fails to honor his part of the bargain, deciding to execute Claudio anyway. The Duke ends his disguise and reclaims his title. Angelo accuses Isabella of lying, but is confronted with his actions when Mariana removes her veil, revealing her identity. In the script Angelo is spared, but in this production he is sentenced to death for his actions. Claudio is revealed to be alive, having been substituted for another condemned prisoner. Colin Vega’s portrayal of Angelo is exceptionally strong. He lets the character be curtly, almost offhandedly, imperious in public. This is contrasted by the more nuanced, rather agitated delivery of his monologues — highlighting the extent to which Angelo’s public persona and sanctimony are a façade. Sheherzad Jamal matches this; her impassioned performance infuses Isabella with considerable strength, leaving us with heightened respect for the character’s ability to navigate an unthinkable situation. The final confrontation between Isabella and Angelo is particularly satisfying to watch, thanks to the actors who play them. Kai Torrens is entertaining as Claudio’s spunky friend Lucio, who is the source of

much of the play’s humor. It is amusing to watch the character slander both the Duke and a friar, and be discomfited when he learns they are one and the same. Eliyana Abraham is adept at delivering a dual performance as Juliet and Mariana. In a gender-bending portrayal of the Duke, Alexis Maze delivers a performance that is distinctly temperate, even understated, in contrast to the intensity of Angelo and Isabella. The cast is capably rounded out by Eliana Cohen-Orth as Claudio; Hank Ingham as Pompey, a pimp; Musab Almajnouni as a Friar; and Travis York as Escalus, the Duke’s advisor. Issie Hilditch’s set is a triptych, and, in keeping with the play’s somber themes, is painted black. The central (and largest) section appears to be constructed with cement blocks, giving it the appearance of a castle — or a prison cell. On one side the wall was covered with signs containing slogans such as “Reform Title IX” and “I believe women,” in keeping with Park’s intention to reframe the play in contemporary terms. These signs surround a poster on which is inscribed Isabella’s line, “To whom should I complain?” On the opposite side is a small white crucifix. Costume designer Natalia Orlovsky echoes Hilditch’s black-and-white color palette, dressing both Isabella and Angelo in those colors. The habit worn by Isabella is complemented by a well tailored suit for Angelo. This is an insightful choice because, although those characters are op-

posites, Angelo sees himself as equal (or better) to a nun, in terms of piety. Orlovsky adds color, and supports Park’s contemporary setting, by giving the Duke a blue jacket (which matches a cap for Lucio). Escalus is given a bright red shirt, with which he wears a necktie. Chamari White-Mink’s lighting effectively uses shadows in the scene in which Mariana trades places with Isabella, heightening the sense of foreboding. The sound design by K. Stiefel provides underscoring that juxtaposes contemporary pop music against monastic chant, nicely illustrating the intrusion of the secular world on the sacred one. “My false overweighs your true,” Angelo gloats in a key scene. Isabella responds by rhetorically asking, “Who would believe me? O perilous mouths … bidding the law make courtesy to their will.” Park astutely emphasizes a theme of the script that is timeless — indeed, all too relevant: abuse of power, and the improbability of justice for its victims. hakespeare’s play is populated by archetypes that populate our world, as well as that of the story: officials who appear benevolent but misuse their position at the cost of the less powerful; cynical protestors who lack the ability to effect real, positive change; and the minority who genuinely are virtuous, and are able to successfully counter oppression. Theatre Intime’s production has been an intriguing, dystopian collage of these archetypes. —Donald H. Sanborn III

“MEASURE FOR MEASURE”: Theatre Intime and the Princeton Shakespeare Company has presented “Measure for Measure.” Directed by Naomi Park ‘21, the play ran December 6-8 at the Hamilton Murray Theater. Angelo (Colin Vega, right) is briefly, and unwittingly, reunited with his former fiancée, Mariana (Eliana Abraham), in a pivotal scene that contains one of the play’s multiple uses of dual identity.

of Renaissance sacred music. Singing for five decades, the group last appeared in Princeton in 2011. Many of the works on the December 13 program celebrate the Virgin Mary, and the composers represented include Poulenc, Allegri, Tallis, Messiaen, and Byrd. “As a former choral singer, I have a soft spot in my heart for a cappella singing groups, which is one of the reasons that they have regularly been part of McCarter’s music series,” said William W. Lockwood, McCarter’s longtime special programming director. “I admit to being a fan of Princeton’s own Princeton Singers, and I’m delighted that they have agreed to co-sponsor this concert with us to welcome their English colleagues.” The history of The Tallis Scholars goes back to the days of The Deller Consort, which was part of McCarter’s first music series in 1964, and has continued through the years with the legacy that the countertenor Alfred Deller created, including regular visitors like The King’s Singers and America’s own Chanticleer.

Pizzarelli, titled Billie and Blue Eyes, are at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre. The two performers, who interpret jazz standards and the “great American songbook,” return to the theater for two holiday nights with a program continuing their tribute to Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday.

“SACRALIZATORS”: This graphite and watercolor on paper work by Viktor Pivovarov is featured in “Dialogues — Ilya Kabakov and Viktor Pivovarov: Stories About Ourselves,” on view at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers through March 28. A free exhibition celebration is Saturday, December 14, with a curator-led tour at 4 p.m., followed by a reception from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Kabakov and Pivovarov those of the artists who pracAre Subjects of Exhibit ticed in the state-sanctioned A new exhibition invites visitors to delve into one of the hallmarks of unofficial Soviet art from the height of the Cold War. “Dialogues – Ilya Kabakov and Viktor Pivovarov: Stories About Ourselves,” on view at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers through March 28, focuses on the two artists’ work created in the format of the album: an innovative genre of visual art popularized in the 1970s by conceptual artists in Moscow. Drawn from the museum’s Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union, the exhibition provides a rare opportunity to view several albums in their entirety. With loose pages of delicately colored images, often complemented by handwritten texts, an album is simultaneously a drawing and a novel, an installation and a performance. They serve as an inspirational model for audience engagement, telling stories that are at once specific and universal. The public is invited to a free exhibition celebration on Saturday, December 14. A curator-led tour is at 4 p.m., followed by a cocktail reception from 5 to 6:30 p.m. “Although this exhibition primarily looks at works that Kabakov and Pivovarov created in the 1970s, the passage of time allows us to assess how this period influenced their practices over the ensuing four decades,” said Guest Curator Ksenia Nouril, who organized “Stories About Ourselves” with Zimmerli Curators Julia Tulovsky and Jane A. Sharp. “Both Kabakov and Pivovarov have stopped making albums, but these works remain the foundation for their respective contemporary practices. Their albums also are significant in the broader legacy of the era, speaking not only to artistic expression in a certain place and time, but also to the circulation of that production globally at the height of the Cold War.” Still active today, both Ilya Kabakov (b. 1933) and Viktor Pivovarov (b. 1937) were integral to the movement known as Moscow Conceptualism, which subversively flourished in the city from the 1960s to the 1990s. Artists worked in “unofficial” circles parallel to

style of Socialist realism. However, the 1970s was a difficult decade, marked by social, economic, and political stagnation. Kabakov and Pivovarov each produced dozens of albums, addressing the triumphs and tribulations of their everyday lives in the Soviet Union at the time. Whereas official artists had established networks of support, those choosing to produce art in unofficial capacities had to be creative with their resources, finding outlets around social, political, and economic limitations. Both artists shared their albums in the semiprivate spaces of their homes and studios with friends — artists, writers, and intellectuals. Among such friends was the collector Norton Dodge, who visited their studios and purchased albums, bringing them back to the United States and eventually exhibiting them for global audiences. With some 120 individual sheets, the exhibition includes the albums Shower – A Comedy (1970s-1985), Mathematical Gorsky (1969-73), and Fruits and Vegetables (1979) by Kabakov, as well as Stairway of the Spheres (1975), Tears (1975), and Sacralizators (1979) by Pivovarov. In addition, a selection of both artists’ paintings and children’s book illustrations created during the same period, as well as portraits of both Ilya Kabakov and Viktor Pivovarov, are on view. Drawings by Mikhail Belomlinsky (of Kabakov, 1980) and Eduard Gorokhovsky (of Pivovarov, 1977), and photographs by Lev Melikhov (of Kabakov, 1987, and Pivovarov, undated), provide viewers a glimpse of the artists. In particular, Melikhov’s photo of Kabakov pictures him with his albums shortly before his emigration from the Soviet Union.

“Young Visions” Exhibit At Ellarslie Museum

The visions of ten emerging artists are now highlighted in the galleries of the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie in Cadwalader Park through January 12. “Young Visions” highlights the interpretations of these young, creative individuals as they balance the line between traditional, industrial, and contemporary work. Several of the artists have shown recently in Ellarslie Open 36 as up-and-coming artists to watch. Patrick Seufert was awarded the top prize in oils for Duel Extension and Cassaundra Flor won Best in Show Overall with her large etching Aeolian Cityscape. The large, abstract paintings and sculptures of Vincent Hawley occupy the Malloy Gallery. The hyper-detailed animal portraits of Maxine Sheaffer fill the Holland Gallery. Participating Artists include Cayla Belser, Dave Dimarchi, Cassandra Flor, Vincent Hawley, Greg Mazur, Patrick Seufert, Maxine Sheaffer, Matthew Timek, Megan Uhaze, and Nicolas Valenza. “Young Visions highlights the dichotomy between traditional and commercial art represented through the interpretation of emerging artists,” said Jennifer Rubin Garey, guest curator. “Working across a variety of disciplines, these artists engage in visual dialog within their own conceptual parameters. Meanwhile, they challenge the preconceived notions of what it is to be young and an artist.” For more infor mation, call (609) 989-3632 or visit www.ellerslie.org.

Concierge Medicine

There’s a new trend in healthcare, and it’s gaining momentum in our area. By Sarah Emily Gilbert (Originally published in Princeton Magazine) Dr. Barbara A. Brown (left) and Dr. Lynne B. Kossow of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine.

or the past few years, Dr. Lynne B. Kossow and Dr. Barbara A. Brown of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine have offered their patients far more than the traditional primary care practice. Most doctors see 25-30 patients a day for an average of 15 minutes, but Drs. Kossow and Brown see six to eight patients a day for up to an hour. In addition to providing treatment for acute illnesses, the doctors act as their clients’ healthcare coaches through Lifestyle Medicine, a scientific approach to patient wellness by effecting changes in areas such as diet, physical activity, and stress management. With the current shortage of primary care physicians and the abundance of high volume practices, this type of individualized attention is rare. However, by switching to a concierge format, doctors like Kossow and Brown are able to practice medicine that consists of this broad-spectrum care. Concierge medicine, also known as retainer-based medicine, is an umbrella term for private medical care wherein patients pay an out-of-pocket fee in exchange for enhanced care. Born in the 1990s, concierge medicine was once thought of as a service for the wealthy that charged patients a lofty fee for luxury medicine. In recent years, it has evolved to accommodate patients across all income brackets, leading to expanding interest among patients and their primary care doctors. According to a survey released by the American Academy of Private Physicians at the AAPP 2015 Fall Summit, more than 45 percent of 862 independent physicians would consider a concierge or similar membership model in the next three years. This may be due in part to our aging population needing increased and varied medical services, leading to an imbalanced patient/doctor ratio. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of insured patients, putting a further strain on primary care doctors. As a result, physicians are often unable to dedicate enough time to each patient. In the hopes of increasing both job and patient satisfaction in a financially sustainable way, primary physicians like Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are looking toward concierge medicine. “Where conventional medicine is failing is in the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases that are becoming an epidemic in the United States today,” explain the doctors. “The current insurance model is built upon a problembased economic reimbursement that encourages doctors to address medical problems very quickly. This leads to most doctors rushing to see 25-30 patients per day in order to make ends meet…This is not how we have ever practiced. We always want to have the time to address the root cause of diseases that are preventable today.” Lifestyle Medicine is a 21st century approach to healthcare that consolidates the very best characteristics of traditional medicine with the profound impact of lifestyle behaviors on health. As our program grew, it became readily apparent to us that integrating Lifestyle Medicine into our internal medicine practice was the best way for us to continue to provide exceptional care. We feel that the concierge model is the only way to effectively do that.

Concierge medical practices come in various forms, including those that reject insurance plans all together, but this is not the case for Princeton Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown accept insurance for all covered medical services. In addition, their patients pay an annual fee of $1,500 for the Lifestyle Medicine Concierge program, which gives them access to an elevated level of care. Trained at the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the doctors are at the vanguard of their field, having lectured about their practice development model at The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine Conference in 2015. They are also members of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Physicians. They are among the first physicians to become board certified in Lifestyle Medicine, as well as maintaining their board certifications in internal medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown’s practice is unique in that it offers patients comprehensive conventional medical care combined with lifestyle counseling. Patients interested in a natural approach to disease prevention are provided in-depth, individualized coaching based on their needs. The doctors can assist with everything from quitting smoking to creating a manageable diet and exercise plan. According to the doctors, this is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to prevent, reverse, or slow down heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, and some cancers. The concierge model offers Princeton Lifestyle Medicine patients additional benefits including access to the doctors’ emails, cell phone numbers, and private phone line, extended patient office visits, a one-hour consultation, and same or next day appointments. As a result, patients see Drs. Kossow and Brown not only as accomplished medical doctors, but health advocates, mentors, and even friends. “Our practice structure allows us to spend more time educating our patients about what may be going on with them medically,” the doctors explain. “We are better able to work with them as partners in their care and advocate for them with their specialists or if they are in the hospital. We provide tremendous support and guidance to them and their caretakers or family. We are happy to have this enhanced communication with our patients. It allows us to make social visits when they are hospitalized at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro so that we can stay in close touch while they are receiving care.” Concierge practices like Princeton Lifestyle Medicine focus the healthcare system on its most vital component: the patient-doctor relationship. The model emphasizes quality care instead of quick care, benefitting both parties. Dr. Brown and Kossow are now board certified as specialists in the practice of Lifestyle Medicine and are the only physicians in the Princeton area who are board certified in both Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. As leaders in both concierge and Lifestyle medicine, it comes as no surprise that Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are at the forefront of this effort, bringing Princeton into the future of healthcare.

The Princeton Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program is $1,500 per year. The fee can be paid monthly, quarterly, biannually, or annually, and credit cards are accepted as payment. All medical services are billed through the patient’s insurance company as usual. Princeton Lifestyle Medicine is located at 731 Alexander Road, Suite 200 in Princeton, New Jersey.

D’Angelo Looking to Make Most of Senior Year As PU Wrestling Continues Rise to Prominence

ike D’Angelo had never seen a crowd at Jadwin Gym like the one that showed up to see the 12th-ranked Princeton University wrestling team take on No. 1 Iowa last Sunday. “It was awesome,” said the Tiger senior captain D’Angelo, a native of Commack, N.Y. “When I started, all of our matches were at Dillon Gym. That’s one thing that was different. (Sunday) was the most packed I’d ever seen Jadwin. They actually had people in the upper decks and we also had the bleachers on both sides. That was by far the most fans that I’ve seen. We also had more students. It was just a great environment. I love competing in environments where there’s a lot of people. It inspires me to really go out there and wrestle my best and try to put on a show.” While D’Angelo and the Tigers came up short against the top-ranked Hawkeyes, they put on a good show for the throng of 2,284 at Jadwin. Sophomore Patrick Glory, ranked fourth by Intermat at 125 pounds, won along with ninth-ranked sophomore Quincy Monday at 157 and sophomore Travis Stefanik at 184, but 12th-ranked Princeton fell, 30-9, to unbeaten Iowa. The 14thranked D’Angelo dropped a 3-2 decision overtime to No. 3 Pat Lugo at 149 pounds. “We want these types of matches,” said Princeton head coach Chris Ayres. “We want to pack Jadwin. We want to have the best team in this area. It was a tough weekend, but a good journey for our crew.” The loss came just two days after Princeton lost 18-15 at No. 9 Oklahoma State. Princeton opened the year against another top-10 team, posting a thrilling 18-14 win over then-No. 7 Lehigh on November 23. “It’s been pretty tough,” D’Angelo said. “But we just accept it as the new norm. We say we want to be a top 5 team, so that’s our thing – we’ll wrestle anyone, anywhere. We’ve gotten some good opportunities to go up against some top 10 teams.” D’Angelo was disappointed to drop a pair of heartbreakers over the weekend. He fell, 7-4, against Boo Lewallen, the No. 4 wrestler in his weight class, at Oklahoma State and then had the narrow setback on Sunday. “I told him that we just have to find one point,” Ayres said. “That weight class is wide open. I have to keep him on track. He can’t get too bent out of shape about this loss.” Not when D’Angelo’s return to the team has meant so much. He took a year off last year and trained with Reece Humphrey, the head coach of the New Jersey Regional Training Center (NJRTC) in New Bruns-

wick, while juggling some internships. “It was a big training year,” D’Angelo said. “I got a lot of competition in. I had a couple folkstyle tournaments in the first half of the year and then I switched over to freestyle and competed in the US Open and the Junior World Team Trials. It was good. The reason I took a year off is because wrestling has been such a big part of my life, for as long as I could remember, and I have one more year of NCAA eligibility. I wanted to go all in on it so that way when I’m done with it — hopefully I reach my goals — but there’s no what-ifs, no questions asked, and I’m not leaving anything on the table. I think I got a lot out of it.” His return to the team has improved the Tigers with Princeton counting on D’Angelo’s leadership and example as it looks to take another step up the ranks. “He doesn’t say much, but he’s one of those guys that leads by example,” said Ayres. “He also leads competitively. He was really upset on Sunday. He felt like he let the team down. He believes he’s the ignitor when he’s out there. He thinks he can inspire. He didn’t do that when he had a chance to knock off [Iowa’s Pat] Lugo who might be No. 3. He lost in overtime. He was out there letting it rip. He’s so important to us in terms of how you compete. He may have lost but he leaves everything out there every time and that’s what we’re looking for.” Ayres has been impressed w i t h D ’ A n g e l o ’s d i s c i pline upon his return as he dropped a weight class in his year off after wrestling three years at 157. “He’s a tall, tall ’49 pounder,” said Ayres. “The discipline to get that done, I call him ‘the professional.’ He’s never too much overweight. He’s always going to do the right thing. He provides that example of senior leadership that we need. He’s the only senior captain. We have Patrick Brucki who’s a captain and we have Ty Agaisse, both underclassmen. D’Angelo is the guy who’s been around the block. The other thing about Mike is he’s an example of perseverance. He wasn’t the highest ranked guy coming out of high school. He didn’t win states. But he’s been plugging away and doing the right things. He lost in overtime who’s third. He lost a close one to the guy who’s fourth. He’s a top five guy. He could win NCAAs.” D’Angelo is keeping his focus on a national crown. It’s a motivating goal that’s been fueling his college career. He was excited to rejoin the team this year as a captain to take another shot at it after qualifying for his first NCAA Championships as a junior in 2018. “It means a lot,” said D’Angelo. “It was obviously tough last year just

watching the matches from the side. It feels great to be back out there, to be a part of the team again. It’s something I was looking forward to in the year off. I love my team like brothers. We’re all there for each other. There’s no other group of guys I’d rather go through this journey with. It’s really exciting to see the direction that this program is moving in. From the time that I got here up until now, we’ve kind of been on a roller coaster just moving forward. It’s exciting to see the progress and seeing coach’s vision and the team’s vision come true.” Facing quality opponents early like the Tigers can only help. Princeton has seen that it can compete with any team, and it is building a winning mindset by taking on bigger challenges. “I’m super inspired by the younger guys on the team,” D’Angelo said. “They’ve really been laying it all on the line. I want to get to a point where I’m competing like those guys. I’ve really drawn inspiration from them. From a team standpoint, it shows we’re right in there with the top teams in the country and we can be a top 5 team. This is something coach Ayres said to me when I was a recruit in high school. I was a 17-year-old kid and he gave me his vision for this team and I was inspired and bought into it. Ever since then, I’ve been 100 percent committed to this team. Throughout my time here, I’ve really seen the transition of this program. I’d like to think I played a role in it, which is super important to me. I have a ton of pride in this program and I want to represent it to the best of my ability.” D’Angelo and the Tigers have another challenge ahead on December 19 when they host 20thranked Rider University at Dillon Gym. Beyond that match is the 57th Annual Ken Kraft Midlands Championships from December 29-30 at Hoffman Estates, Ill. and another chance to shine on a big stage. “When I put all that work in, I want to make the most of that seven minutes that I get out on the mat,” D’Angelo said. “I want to be the match that everyone is looking forward to, everyone’s talking about. It really helps me put that in perspective when I’m training. I know when I go out there, it’s going to be exciting, it’s going to be a great environment. That really helps.” Hosting Iowa gave local Princeton fans a chance to see the best of wrestling and that charged atmosphere. “It was great,” said Ayres. “The place was packed. People like watching Iowa and they like watching us so it was a great environment for our guys. We had some guys step up and we lost some heartbreakers. And where they’re good

The Tigers, now 1-2, host No. 20 Rider on December 19 at Dillon Gym. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) and we’re not quite ranked, we got beat up a little bit but there’s a lot of good to take away from the match in terms of things we need to work on and where we really stand. We’re one of the best teams in the country and we can compete with anyone. I think that’s what we walk away from the weekend with. Some guys should be moving up in the rankings. All in all, it was a very productive weekend even though we were 0-2.” Ayres anticipates that the pressure matches early will pay off down the line. He’s trying to do all he can to prepare the Tigers for Ivy and NCAA championship action, and going on the road to Oklahoma State and then returning to face

the best team in the country put his wrestlers into a challenging lineup. “It turns the volume down on the conference tournament and NCAAs,” said Ayres. “To have your own hotel room, not be traveling, you’re still going to face tough guys but under easier conditions.” Win or lose, Princeton benefits from the experience. After falling to 1-2, those lessons are on the minds of the Tigers as they resume training. “I wanted it real bad,” said D’Angelo. “It’s a learning experience. There are some things I have to fix technically. I know I’m right there. I know what I need to do. I have faith in my coaches and faith in my

teammates that we’re going to move forward with this and get it done when it really matters.” Princeton will look to get back on the winning track against Rider. It’s the next challenge in a schedule that is stacked with top20 teams to help prepare the Tigers to achieve their goal of reaching the highest level of college wrestling. “I took the year off so there’s no questions asked once I’m done with it,” said D’Angelo. I’m all in on this program and I’m all in on myself. I’ve had goals in the sport. I’ve wanted to be an NCAA champ since I was a little kid. This is my last chance to do it.” —Justin Feil

Although Kate Monihan is only in her freshman season for the Princeton University women’s hockey team, she has already spent a lot of time around Hobey Baker Rink. Grow ing up in nearby Moorestown and playing for the Lawrenceville School and the New Jersey Colonials club program, Monihan has plenty of memories surrounding the historic rink “I remember skating out here for a club game against the Princeton Stars; it is so interesting coming back and seeing how much it has changed since I was that little mite,” said the 5’5 Monihan. “When I was 10, I was at the Princeton hockey camp, my mom showed me a picture of me out there. It is pretty incredible to go from that kid at camp to now being here. I am really grateful for the opportunity.” Last Friday, Monihan got the opportunity to start on defense with senior star Claire Thompson as sixthranked Princeton hosted No. 4 Cornell. “It is incredible to play w ith Claire, she is such a great role model,” said Monihan. “Given her time with Team Canada, I learn so much just playing with her. Every time I start with her it is an opportunity to get better and see what I can do out there.” Against Cornell, Princeton did some good things in the first two periods as it generated 17 shots but found itself trailing 2-0. “In the locker room and on the bench, we had a lot of energy and momentum,” said Monihan.“We were really confident in how we were playing.” But with the Tigers getting

called for four penalties in the first 10 minutes of the third period, Cornell sized momentum with three unanswered goals. Tiger sophomore star Maggie Connors tallied with 3: 55 lef t in regulation but that was not nearly enough as the Big Red prevailed 5-1. “Penalties happen but the biggest thing is that we didn’t stop,” said Monihan. “We got a goal, we kept fighting, we did our best to kill penalties. The fight is there and it is capitalizing on that when we need to.” A day later against Colgate, the Tigers showed their fight, overcoming a 4-3 deficit in the second period to win 7-5, improving to 10-3 overall and 8-3 ECAC Hockey. In the wake of the loss to Cornell, Monihan was confident that Princeton would bounce back against the Raiders. “We need to move on from today,” said Monihan. “We can learn from this but right now our heads are focusing on coming in tomorrow, coming out strong and winning this game.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Cara Morey liked the way her team came out of the gate against Cornell. “I actually felt confident going into the third,” said Morey. “The chances were back and for th. We outchanced them in the beginning. They got a couple of bounces and we didn’t get the bounces. It was still a really even game.” Morey acknowledged that the game got away from the Tigers as they lost their cool. “We started taking penalties and you can’t come back when you are in the penalty box and a man down,” said Morey.

PU Men’s Hockey Drops 2 to Colorado College But Sophomore O’Neill Emerging as Scoring Threat

“That is the big lesson for them, learning how to play intense and still keep their heads about them. We are not going to win games against the No. 4 team in the nation when we are spending time in the penalty box.” Like Monihan, Morey believed that the Tigers would come through against Colgate. “It is probably the toughest weekend of the year so we have to come ready and we got to flush this for now,” said Morey, whose team heads to Las Vegas for a t wo - game set with Ohio State from December 14-15 in its last action before the holiday break. Morey likes the mental toughness Monihan is showing in emerging as a key defenseman for the Tigers. “Kate is really coming along, she is really getting her confidence,” said Morey. “She is starting to really understand the systems; I am really impressed with how she is responding. You get a lot of confidence when you can play with a senior captain as your defense partner. It allows you to play a little more freely and I think that has really helped Kate.” Monihan, for her part, is gaining more and more confidence, crediting the team’s veteran stars with helping her adjust to the college game. “I think the biggest thing is the speed in terms of decision making; everything is a couple of seconds quicker than any type of hockey I have played,” said Monihan, who has two assists so far this season. “There has been so much support from people like Claire and Sarah Fillier. They are always telling us to look for this, try this. They have been so helpful in the transition, helping us learn.” —Bill Alden

With the Princeton University men’s hockey team trailing Colorado College 1-0 in the third period last Saturday evening, Christian O’Neill and his teammates were determined to get the equalizer. “We had a couple of opportunities that we thought should have gone in, he closed the door on us,” said Princeton sophomore forward O’Neill. “We told ourselves that we have to keep going, keep getting pucks to the net, keep shooting and eventually it would fall in.” O’Neill got one to fall, scoring with 31 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. “It was a broken play, I thought they were going to get the clear there,” recalled O’Neill. “Then Jackson [Cressey] made a good keep at the blue line and bounced to me and I managed to get it to Liam Grande and then he got it back to me. I shot it at the net, we finally got that bounce at the end of the third.” Although Princeton ended up falling 2-1 in overtime to move to 1-8-3 overall before a crowd of 1,685 at Hobey Baker Rink, the effort represented a major step forward considering that the Tigers had lost 7-2 to Colorado College a night earlier. “It was a good bounce back for the boys today, we were playing a lot better as a team, especially in the defensive zone,” said O’Neill, who tallied one of Princeton’s goals in the defeat on Friday. “There were a bunch of

breakdowns yesterday that we didn’t have today. We kept the score at zero for them until the third period. There was a lot better jump in the offensive zone too, getting pucks through. We just had the momentum and we were outplaying them whereas last night it wasn’t like that.” With goals in both games last weekend, O’Neill is gaining momentum individually. “Clearly scoring was an issue for me last year, even at the beginning of this year,” said O’Neill, a 5’11, 175-pound native of Westwood, Mass., who now has three goals and five assists in 12 games this year after tallying one goal and five assists in 31 appearances as a freshman. “I have had plenty of oppor t u nit ies t his year to score. In the past few games I have capitalized on these opportunities. That is something I have been working on. They are finally going for me so that is good.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Ron Fogarty is happy to see O’Neill finding his finishing touch. “It is good for Christian to hit the back of the net,” said Fogarty. “He is emerging as a sophomore who is going to be relied on moving forward here over the next couple of years to score goals. I know he would trade them in for a win but it is good to see him scoring.” Sophomore goalie Jeremie Forget gave Princeton a chance to win in his first start of the season, making 25 saves. “I thought Jeremie had a tremendous game, he played

extremely well,” said Fogarty. “He made all of the necessary saves. He made a huge breakaway save there to keep the game in reach. He did a great job tonight.” All in all, Fogarty liked the way his team played as it rebounded from the disappointing outing on Friday. “We pushed pretty well the entire game, I think we had over 80 shots on the weekend,” said Fogar t y, whose squad generated 42 shots on Friday and 40 a night later. “We are in a good spot, it is not like we are losing 2-1 and getting outshot 44-22. We are creating chances and we dug in defensively. They had one odd-man rush goal, those things happen in college hockey. The game was more manageable on the defensive side tonight.” W h i le t h e s e tback on Saturday stung, Fogarty is optimistic about his team’s prospects. “We are st r uggling to score a little bit; that one is a tough one to lose because our guys played really well and played a smarter game through and through,” said Fogarty, whose club was slated to host AIC on December 10 in its last action before the holiday break. “If we have those efforts continuously we will be on the right side of the score.” O’Neill, for his part, believes that Princeton’s efforts will pay off down the stretch of the campaign. “We will try to play the same way against AIC and then go into winter break,” said O’Neill. “Hopefully we can use that break to regroup and attack the second half of the season.” —Bill Alden

John Zammit has taken his game to a higher level this winter as he starts his sophomore season for the Princeton High boys’ hockey team. “It is just a bunch of confidence; freshman year, I was a lit tle hesitant at times with the size and weight difference of the older players,” said Zammit. “I am bigger and more physical, size helps. Puck possession wise, I think my stickhandling has been getting more accurate and I am more consistent.” Last Wednesday, Zammit displayed some deft stickhandling, scoring three goals as PHS overcame an early 1-0 deficit and defeated Lawrence High 12-2 in its season opener at Mercer County Park. “We came into the game thinking it is a good game to work on fundamentals coming off last year and getting the team chemistry going,” said Zammit. “Their first goal got us going a little bit, we came out slow.” Zammit’s first tally gave PHS a 4-1 late in the first period and he started the scoring in the second with another score to stretch the advantage to 6-1. “I had a nice cycle down low in the corner, it popped out and I saw the top left corner and had to put it in,” said Zammit, reflecting on his first goal.

“The second one was a tough rebound. I had to spin around and get that on my backhand and into the net.” The win demonstrated how well the Tiger players are bonding with new coach Joe Bensky. “We are running some new systems, we are definitely getting the hang of it,” said Zammit. “We have been practicing well together. We are definitely working well together, coaches and teammates, the chemistry between us is good. We are excited.” Zammit is excited to be on the ice with another newcomer to the program, his older sister, senior Victoria Zammit, who also stars for the PHS girls’ team. “It is fun playing with her, we used to play a lot when we were younger,” said Zammit, who scored two more goals on Monday as PHS defeated W W/P 9-3. “We kind of split up as we grew older because she went off with the girls. It is brother/sister, it is a special time.” For PHS he ad coach Bensky, the win over Lawrence was a special debut. “It is a little nerve-wracking and we were waiting for a month,” said Bensky. “We got snowed out on Monday. Coach [Matt] Strober and I were really

eager, we are having an amazing time. It is a big sigh of relief to get that first one.” There were some anxious moments when Lawrence jumped out to a 1-0 lead 30 seconds into the contest. “Not a lot comes easy, t here were ner ves and we had a tough turnover there,” said Bensky. “The puck went the other way and they got a scoring opportunity. The boys were a little nervous and they scored.” PHS senior star Aidan Trainor got things going in the right direction for the Tigers as he scored two straight goals to give PHS a lead it never relinquished. “Aidan is a phenomenal hockey player, he plays a big role,” said Bensky. “He is an amazing young man. He is a talented hockey player but he is a great leader. He took the team on his shoulders for sure.” While Trainor and Zammit each ended up with three goals, several players got into the act offensively with senior Rocco Salvato notching two goals, sophomore Joh n O’Don nell chipping in a goal and three assists, and a pair of freshmen, Cooper Zullo and Ethan Garlock, getting goals in their high school debut. “We had a lot of other players step up, that is

what makes our team so talented,” said Bensky. “We have so much depth; I can roll three lines and not worry about it.” B e n s k y b el i e ve s t h at Zammit can go on a roll this year. “John had a really nice game,” said Bensky. “I think he is going to be under the radar.” For Bensky, getting to use his whole roster in the opener was a nice way to start things.

“Everyone got their feet wet and got a feel for high school hockey,” said Bensky, whose team faces Paul VI at the Skate Zone in Pennsauken on December 13 and then plays Hopewell Valley on December 17 at Mercer County Park. “I remember when I was a freshman how nervous I was. It is a different game. Most of my kids play travel but it is different than high school. They are playing

against young men now. I am happy that we were able to get them out there. We had a few first time goals so that was exciting.” Zammit, for his par t, saw the first win as a good step for the Tigers. “This is a great first game,” said Zammit. “We are psyched; it gets our morale up. Being 1-0 is nice.” —Bill Alden

With Linnehan Stepping Into Lead Role, PDS Boys’ Hockey Gets Off to 2-0 Start Mov ing up to t he top line for the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team this winter, Gibson Linnehan is ready to shoulder more responsibility. Teaming with Stefan Gorelenkov and junior Drew McConaughy, junior Linnehan is relishing his new duties. “We are leading the team every single practice and every single game,” said Linnehan. “It is our job, we are having fun with it.” The trio has been doing a good job of controlling play. “We keep the puck in the offensive zone the whole game, we get shots to the net,” said Linnehan. “It is basically keep away from the other team. We are

getting shots on the net, we are scoring goals.” L ast T hursday against visiting Randolph, the Panthers got a goal from Alex Nowakoski to jump out to a 1-0 lead on the way to a 3-1 victory. “The boys were fired up to begin with, we were jacked up right from the start,” said Linnehan. “The main thing was we just wanted to get pucks on the net. We got that first goal and just kept going,” In the second period, Linnehan tallied a goal on an assist by Gorelenkov to put PDS up 2-1. “I got the puck low and I wasn’t expecting much,” recalled Linnehan.

“I brought it up to the middle in the slot and I cut around and saw an opening top shelf and buried it.” W h e n Pa nt h er s opho more goalie Tim Miller left the game late in the second period after a collision in the crease, PDS focused on puck possession in order to hold off Randolph. “The boys needed to block shots, we couldn’t let the goalie take any shots,” said Linnehan. “We needed to keep it down in their zone. It was the only way to win the game and we got the job done.” With the Panthers looking a little sloppy in a 6-3 win over St. Joe’s Prep (Pa.) a day earlier in its season

opener, Linnehan and his teammates knew that they had to be sharper against Randolph, a perennial public school power. “We came off a win over St. Joe’s yesterday and this was a great test to see whether we were going to be a good team this year,” said Linnehan. “After today, I think we have a strong season ahead of us.” In reflecting on his progress this winter, Linnehan is looking to be stronger offensive threat. “I still have a physical mentality to my game but I am starting to focus more on playmaking,” said Linnehan, who also plays lacrosse. “Getting goals and assists, that is what we have got to do.” PDS head coach Scott Bertoli likes the mentality he is seeing from Linnehan this season. “Gibson has been great, he is so much better this year than he was last year,” said Bertoli. “He was a solid third line player for us and now he is just a different player. Some of it is the realization that it is his team and he is on that top line, getting power play minutes and playing in situations he hasn’t played in.” W hile PDS didn’t play great in its opener, Bertoli was encouraged by his team’s performance against Randolph. “I wasn’t happy with the way we played last night, it was a little sloppy,” said Bertoli. “Randolph is a very well coached team, we played better than I thought we could this early in the year. I

was real impressed with the way that we played. Being at home and being the home opener, I think that had something to do with it. The young kids are three, four games into it now, including scrimmages.” PDS was particularly impressive in the third period as it played keep away with the puck and added an insurance goal by Nowakoski to aid backup goalie Eric Gellasch “We completely dom i nated. T hey can’t score when the puck is in the offensive zone so that is our focus,” said Bertoli. “You should work the hardest in the offensive zone and be completely committed and determined to play in the offensive zone.” Bertoli believes that the Panthers displayed their

commitment to improvement against Randolph. “We strive for consistency, we work to get better on a daily basis and we made some strides today,” said Bertoli, whose team hosts Morristown-Beard on December 11. “I am proud of the way they played, the result aside. It was the effort level and playing a full team game.” Linnehan, for his part, sees some good resu lts ahead for PDS. “I feel like we are playing really good hockey right now, we have to keep it going and fix up some minor mistakes,” said Linnehan. “We are going to get there. We were not expecting this start but after today we are really happy.” —Bill Alden

During his successful tenure as the head coach of the Lawrence High boys’ hockey program, John Ritchie prided himself on being adaptable. “The one thing it taught me early is that you can’t be a coach that has a system that you want to force on whatever team you have,” said Ritchie. He guided Lawrence to four division titles in five years and 51 wins from 2012-17 before going on to coach for the Lawrence Flames and Princeton Tiger Lilies club programs. “You have to be flexible based on the talent and the group that you have.” Ritchie will be employing that open-minded approach as he takes over a new group, getting promoted to be head coach of the Princeton Day School girls’ team after serving as an assistant the last two seasons for the program “I really like the group of girls,” said Ritchie, the successor to Lorna Cook, who stepped away from the program after guiding the Panthers to a 12-12 record last winter. “The club teams have girls that are full time hockey players. Whereas with high school hockey, you get field hockey players who need a winter sport, or soccer players that need a winter sport so it is a mix.” Having such seniors as A n n ab e l T h o m a s , E l l i e Schofield and the Haggerty twins, Caroline and Charlotte, in the mix have helped smooth the transition for Ritchie. “I had to meet some of the

freshmen but we have really good senior leadership,” said Ritchie. “It is something I was fortunate to have at Lawrence and I see a lot of parallels between the first group I had at Lawrence and this first group here.” Ritchie enjoyed a really good debut guiding the Panthers as PDS topped Randolph High 9-0 in its season opener on December 3. “Nobody wants to take over a team and have to wait for their first win,” said Ritchie, who got two goals apiece from Lauren Chase, Ally Antonacci, and Charlotte Haggerty in the victory. “More importantly than my first win is that they were having fun and playing good hockey, trying to use each other. It wasn’t just like one person shooting. The puck was being distributed around; that was nice and promising to see.” PDS boasts a promising group of forwards in Schofield, junior Hailey Wexler, freshman Nora Appleby, sophomore Antonacci, and Charlotte Haggerty “We have Ellie and Hailey as our top two returning forwards and then we have a couple of new girls this year who have some promise,” said Ritchie “Nora Appleby is a U16 Tiger Lilies player and she has been good. Ally didn’t play for PDS last year, she just played club. The girls convinced her to come out this year. She is lightning quick and is definitely going to be a big asset up front. Charlotte is going to be similar to last year where she is go-

ing to be able to make the home stuff but the musical is going to take precedence. When she is there, she will play a big role.” On defense, Caroline Haggerty, junior Hannah Choe, sophomore Nat Celso, freshman Chase, and Thomas will form a strong unit for the Panthers. “All five of them are good, we are going to go as they go,” asserted Ritchie. “They are a solid group. They are used to playing a lot of minutes. They break the puck out well on their own. Caroline can rush the puck, Hannah can rush the puck, and Lauren can rush the puck. Nat has made tons and tons of strides. She is confident.” Ritchie is confident in his pair of goalies, junior Jillian Wexler and freshman Abby Ashman. “Jillian is playing Tier 1 for the Colonials,” said Ritchie. “It is pretty demanding and we may not have her for the weekend stuff. Abby is young but she is certainly a competitor. She loves the game and is all in on hockey.” Looking ahead, Ritchie believes the Panthers can end up being very competitive this winter. “With this group, there is ton of inexperience but I think there is also a ton of potential,” said Ritchie, whose team fell 2-0 at Rye Cou nt r y Day ( N.Y. ) last Thursday and will be hosting its annual Harry Rulon-Miller Invitational this weekend from December 13-14. “We will go week by week and hopefully each week and each game we will get better.” —Bill Alden

Learning Lessons From Near Misses Last Year, PDS Boys’ Hoops Hungry for Successful Winter Last winter, the Princeton Day School boys’ basketball team displayed flashes of brilliance but ended up faltering in postseason play. PDS was seeded first in the state Prep B tournament but fell to archival Pennington in the semis. Days later, the Panthers lost to WW/PNorth in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament. “There were a lot of missed opportunities last year, that is from the top down,” said PDS head coach Doug Davis, who guided the Panthers to a 12-13 record last winter in his debut season at the helm of the program. “We are thinking about things we could do better as a coaching staff and what our guys who were there last year can improve on this season. We are really trying to right the wrong and go a bit farther. We want to play together as a team a little bit more. There were some spots last year where we didn’t play together as much.” Coming together in their first weekend of the season, Panthers get the 2019-20 campaign off to a promising start as they won the Solebury School (Pa.) Invitational, defeating George School (Pa.) 69-59 in the opening round on Friday and then defeating host Solebury 7149 in the final on Saturday “There is a different energy on the team and in the gym,” said Davis. “We have five seniors. It is their last time playing together. It is the last time playing high school basketball. They are ready to go. I think they will lead from there.” Three of those seniors, Jaylin Champion-Adams, Jomar Meekins, and Lucas Green, will help lead the way in the backcourt for PDS. “Jaylin has been pretty healthy this preseason, he is showing some of his athleticism,” said Davis. “Jomar shot the ball well for us last year. We are looking for him to continue to shoot it and attack the rim. Lucas had a really good summer. He is 6’3, 6’4 and will play both guard and which is really good for us. He worked on his handle this summer and will do a little bit of both for us.” Junior Dameon Samuels figures to be a workhorse at guard with David “Diggy” Coit having graduated and Freddy Young Jr. transferring to Trenton Catholic Academy

“Dameon is back; with Freddy and Diggy gone, he will be one of our leading guards,” added Davis. “He brings a defensive tenacity. He has worked on his offense this offseason.” In the frontcourt, the Panthers feature a promising trio in two veterans and a newcomer, senior Alan Norcott and junior Josh Colon along with junior transfer Ethan Garita. “A lan didn’t get much playing time last year; I see him as being our energy guy and a guy who can lead by example,” said Davis. “Josh Colon shot the ball well last year, he is a big kid. Ethan is about 6’7, 6’8, he is a transfer from Trenton High. He is a bouncy kid. He is slender and we will be

looking for him to put on some pounds. He is going to be good for us.” In the view of Davis, PDS needs to be on the same page at both ends of the court in order to have a very good season. “I think it is ever yone k now i ng t heir role a nd playing together as a team and not being overanxious,” said Davis. His team plays at Academy of New Church (Pa.) on December 14 before hosting Pennington on December 17. “It is playing within ourselves and bringing that defensive tenacity. If we do that and we execute on offense, I think we will be in good shape. There are a lot of guys who you can just interchange, it is going to be one of the things to help us out and have success.” —Bill Alden

With Bevy of New Faces Bringing Excitement, Hun Boys’ Hockey Produces Promising 1-0-1 Start With a roster stocked with newcomers, the Hun School boys’ hockey team will have a markedly different look this winter. Noting that two-thirds of his players are new to the school as well as the program, Hun head coach Ian McNally is embracing the changes to his squad. “The mood is great, it is like a new group; it is an excited energy,” said McNally, who guided Hun to a 15-81 record last winter and its sixth straight Mercer County Tournament title. “They don’t know the history or anybody or any of that stuff. It is a fun vibe right now.” McNa l ly is rely i ng on one of his old hands, Chris Brake, who has quite a history with the program, to lead the group. “Chris is going to be our captain; he started on JV and has worked his way up,” said McNally, who got some good work from his squad in the first week of the season as it defeated LaSalle College High (Pa.) 6-3 in the season opener last Wednesday and then skated to a 4-4 tie with St. John Vianney a day later. “He is the third Brake brother in the program and for the parents, this is their eighth year in a row. We joke that Chris has all the best parts of Patrick and Thomas. The school loves him for tour guides and open houses. He is a good all-around guy.”

Hun boasts two other good returning players at forward in junior Eddie Evaldi and senior Felix Turcotte. “Evald i is t he bigges t one in terms of returning in points and prestige; he has bounced from forward to defense,” added McNally, who will also be using junior Charlie Lavoie, junior Elliott Lareau, junior William Banford, and sophomore Riley Frost at forward. “Felix will be back at forward. He was there last year.” On defense, McNally will be depending on junior Nick Dimatos and junior Alexis Landry to lead the way. “Nick came in as a little 14-year-old kid with ability but just wasn’t ready to contribute and did a JV/varsity mix,” said McNally, whose blue line unit will also include junior Max Schmuckler and sophomore Ming Yuan. “Coming into this year, he looks great out there. Alexis is back too. They will be defensive partners. They are the top guys.” S enior goalie Jackson Cole has emerged as one of the top netminders in the area and is the rock of the Hun defense. “This is my ninth year and we have only had three goalies: Devin Cheifetz for three years in a row, and then Diesel Pelke was the guy, and now Jackson,” said McNally. “We have had these guys go from freshman year to senior year on almost every team. Jackson fell into that

freshman year. Other guys were supposed to play and all of a sudden he was playing. We are going to lean on him heavily.” In order to have another big season, the Raiders will need to play responsibly at the defensive end.

“It will be the ability to keep the puck out of our net,” said McNally, when assessing the keys to success for his squad. “We have to commit to a little bit of a defensive structure and once you get the puck you can do whatever you want. I don’t even want to play defense that much. We call it the eight seconds of riding the bull; it is ‘get it back right away and then

go have fun in the offensive zone.’ The best way to do that is to play offense for a long time. If you can stay down there for 30 seconds, it is easy for your defense to play.” Featuring two high-flying forward lines, McNally believes that his squad has the potential to be relentless offensively. “This should be a team where there is very little

coaching, it is the next line up goes,” said McNally. “They can get in a rhythm and no one is looking over their shoulder. There have been years where you have to watch who the other team is throwing out there. I don’t think we will have to do that because everyone is good enough. Everybody can do their job and just go.” —Bill Alden

Happy Holidays! Happy Holidays! “I am a 3rd grade teacher and I enjoy going to the gym on a regular basis. Years ago, several doctors told me that my back was “too bad” and there was nothing that could be done for me. They told me I would have to get used to a sedentary life of pain and that I would have to “just live on pain medications.” I was so upset but then I met the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center and they very quickly knew how to help me. They got me out of pain and back to an active, pain-free life. My family and I trust the doctors at Princeton Spine and Joint Center. If you have pain, you should put your trust in them, too!”

Marie-Antoinette Pinard On Wednesday, December 4, 2019, Marie-Antoinette Pinard transitioned to heaven. A ntoinet te’s journey began in St. Marc Haiti, her place of birth. Mrs. Pinard attended the Ecole Elie DuBois for girls in Haiti and taught elementary school in Haiti for 15 years. After teaching, she acted as the Secretary of P r e s i d e nt i a l c a n d i d ate, Clement Jumelle, under the administration of President Estimé. In 1970, in search of a place to live out her dreams and share herself with the world, Mrs. Pinard emigrated to Princeton from Haiti. And we are all better for it. Ar r iv ing in Pr inceton, Mr s. P i nard worke d at Princeton Medical Center for over 25 years. Princeton became the birthplace of Andre V. Pinard, her beloved son and only child. Both Andre and Antoinette made the most of Princeton, capitalizing on its reputable public school system. Education had always been something that Mrs. Pinard took very seriously. Andre attended Community Park, John Wit herspoon, and Princeton High School before graduating from Connecticut College in 1994. Antoinette dedicated her life to the nurturing of her large extended family and made it a point to continue to take care of her family in Haiti by bringing them to the United States. Those of us who knew her know that her nurturing extended far outside of her extended family. We have all been nurtured, in some way, by Marie Antoinette Pinard. And we are blessed to have been able to experience the love that she gave, consistently, with class and some sass, if you deserved it. Mrs. Pinard is survived by her son and his wife, Folake, sister, Nicole Lopez, and four brothers, Noe St. Juste, Emmanuel St. Juste, Elie St. Juste, and Michelet Jean-François as well as her three grandchildren, Ajani, Anais, and Amelie, her cousin Bertha Toussaint, and many nieces and nephews including Sophia, Bobby, Carla, Julio, Lucas, Edson, Vava, Mayerling, Jacques, Mimi, Sandra, Sade, Naomi, Raquel, Romy, Marjorie, and Carine. Mrs. Pinard’s life will be celebrated on Saturday, December 14, 2019, at 2:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Church. The viewing will be held from 12 p.m. until 2 p.m. at Kimble Funeral Home located at 1 Hamilton Avenue, Princeton New Jersey.

Elisabeth BorgerhoffPomerleau Elisabeth Borgerhoff-Pomerleau, daughter of Professor and Mrs. E. B. O. Borgerhoff, died peacefully at home in Mount Vernon, Maine, on November 8, 2019, surrounded by her loving family and friends. Beth was born on August 20, 1951 in Princeton, New Jersey. She attended Rose Cottage Nurser y School, Nassau Street School, Miss Fines School, and Princeton Day School. Beth was a brilliant student, especially of writing, languages, and music. She began studying piano as a young girl and later became a student of Naomi Chandler with whom she developed a lasting friendship. While studying Russian in high school, Beth traveled to Russia with the American Field Service, and went again to teach English in St. Petersburg. Beth was an editor for the PDS publication Cymbals, and a frequent contributor of poetry and prose. She sang with the school choir and madrigal group. In the fall of 1969, Beth entered Yale University as a member of the first coed class at Yale. She majored in Russian Studies and was a founding member of the Yale Slavic Chorus. After graduating from Yale, Beth moved to Maine and in 1978 met Ricky Pomerleau. Beth and Ricky were married on November 4, 1995 by the Reverend Thomas Hagen, O.M.I., at the Princeton University Chapel in Princeton, New Jersey.

Beth quickly became in demand in Maine. She was sought after to serve as interpreter for Russian sailing crews arriving in Maine seaports. She provided piano and accordion accompaniment for a variety of dance g r ou p s, a n d p e r for m e d frequently at the Center for Cultural Exchange in Portland, Maine. She was a member of the band The Ambassadors, which toured in the U.S. and Europe and released a live recorded album. She traveled with Project Troubador’s “Whistle Stop to China Tour” in the provinces, and to Shanghai and Beijing. Beth played with Alan Shavash Bardezbanian and His Middle Eastern Ensemble. The group toured and later recorded the CD “Oud Masterpieces: From Armenia, Turkey and the Middle East” which had international sales. Beth was a much loved and respected piano teacher to children and adults in Bath, Maine, and at home in Mount Vernon. Many of her students became close friends and during Beth’s illness expressed their gratitude to her for the invaluable life lessons through which she lovingly guided them. B e t h s t u d ie d pa i nt i ng theory and techniques at the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania, with Violette de Mazia. Beth made both representational and impressionistic paintings on canvas and on paper, creating some paintings as small as one inch square. Inspired by the Ukranian pysanki, she developed techniques for making paintings on ostrich, goose, and pullet eggs. Among her large abstract paintings, some she cherished most were her final ones. They are a tribute to the wonderful play of shape and color. Beth’s work has been exhibited in South Windsor, Connecticut, at the Ann Weber Gallery in Georgetown, Maine, and at Thomas College in Waterville, Maine. She is represented by the CG Gallery, Ltd. in Princeton, New Jersey. Beth was an excellent swimmer and avid reader of fiction and nonfiction. She loved nature and all nature’s creatures, especially birds, and was a dedicated ornithologist. Beth was predeceased by her parents, E.B.O. Borgerhoff and Cornelia N. Borgerhoff, and by her sister Jane C. Borgerhoff. She is survived, and will be forever missed, by Ricky, her loving husband of 41 years; stepson Raven; her sister Ledlie Borgerhoff of Princeton, N.J.; nephew and niece Arthur and Cornelia Borgerhoff of Chestnut Hill, Pa.; sister-in-law Susan Quinn and spouse John of Beverly, Mass.; brother-in-law Marc Pomerleau and spouse Curt Knight of Kea’au, Hawai’i; along with many beloved cousins, nephews, and nieces; cherished friends; and faithful dog Winston.

Henry Jones A wonderful husband, dad, and Pop Pop and the patriarch of our family, Henry (Buddy) Jones passed away unexpectedly on December 5, 2019. He was 78 years old. Henry was born in Camden, NJ, to the late Henry and Dorothy (Higgins) Jones and was stepson of the late John Fiumenero. He was also predeceased by his wife’s parents, the late Anthony and Catherine Cirullo, who loved him as a son, and his late brother-in-law Michael Cirullo. Henry spent his childhood in Kingston, NJ. After marriage, he lived in Princeton, and finally Lawrenceville, for the past 45 years. Henry was a member of Carpenter’s Local #781 – Princeton and ser ved as Business Representative for 17 years. He retired in 1996. He was also a volunteer firefighter for Mercer Engine Company #3 in Princeton for many years. The epitome of a family man, Henry was always ready to support his wife, children, and grandchildren in all their endeavors. A skilled woodworker, he produced many cherished items for family and friends. His backyard Koi pond gave him many hours of pleasure and at times, frustration. He was an enthusiastic NHRA fan. He enjoyed cruise vacations and especially enjoyed family summer shore vacations, 16 people in one house. Henry was the #1 fan of his children’s and grandchildren’s activities and sporting events. He often proudly said, “If I had a nickel for ever y game I went to, I would have lots of money.” He loved every minute of it and took delight in all their accomplishments. A quiet man who faced many healt h challenges throughout his life, Henry did it with bravery, grace, and dignity and a lot of wit. He had a wry sense of humor and could regale others with laughter. Surviving Henry is his loving wife of 53 years, Frances Jones (Cirullo); his sons Henry (Rick) and wife Jennifer, Mark and wife Jennifer; daughters Karen Truban and husband Paul, Rebecca and husband Ray Pyontek. He is also survived by his cherished grandchildren Peyton, Alex, and Kathryn Truban, Liz and Caitlin Jones and Nate Jones. A lso sur v iv ing are his brother Anthony (Tony) and wife Jeanette Fiumenero, and brother-in-law Anthony and wife Donna Cirullo. He is survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, lifelong friends, and his faithful canine companion Gracie. We were blessed by his life and are grateful for the way he lived it and will cherish our many wonderful memories. S er v ices were held at

Marilyn R. Wellemeyer Marilyn R. Wellemeyer died peacefully in her apartment in New York City on Sunday morning December 1, 2019. Marilyn was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on January 3, 1925. In her early years she attended public schools in St. Rose and Destrahan before moving on to the Louise S. McGehee School in New Orleans from which she graduated in 1942. The school honored her with its Distinguished Alumna Award in 1989. She attended Bryn Mawr College because it offered her a larger scholarship package than did Vassar or Wellesley. Marilyn majored in French and graduated Cum Laude in 1946. She then went to Paris to attend the Sorbonne for one year where she studied French literature and philosophy. Marilyn returned to the States in 1947 and worked for what was then called t he Cent ral Intelligence Organization as a translator/researcher. In addition to being fluent in French, Marilyn also had a reading knowledge of German, Italian, and Spanish. Marilyn left the CIO in 1949 to pursue a degree in Modern European History at Columbia University during which time she was also an Administrative Assistant in the French department between 1949 and 1951. Her thesis, The Politics of Decolonization: France and Morocco, was eventually published by Columbia University Press in the Dean’s Papers in June 1969. In 1951 Marilyn joined Time Magazine as an edi-

torial trainee and secretary to the Foreign News Editor. From 1952 through 1955 she was a researcher in the Foreign News Department of Time before she moved to the Foreign News section of LIFE as a reporter in 1955. In 1959 she became the Chief Reporter for the LIFE Foreign News Department until she was sent to Paris in 1961 as a correspondent in LIFE’s European Bureau. While in Paris she covered many fascinating developments such as the Ecumenical Council’s opening in Rome, the Pope’s pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Churchill’s funeral, a special issue on the USSR, as well as the European reaction to the deaths of Kennedy and Nehru. She also spent time in Tokyo preparing a special issue of LIFE on Japan as well as stories on the Tokyo Olympics and Emperor Hirohito. In 1965 Marilyn returned to New York as Assistant Editor in LIFE’s Modern Living department, where she focused on urban affairs and architecture. She interviewed Dallas Mayor Erik Jonsson as part of the story on the rebirth of Dallas. Marilyn then transferred to Fortune Magazine as Associate Editor where she wrote 158 articles, all but 30 of which appeared in a monthly column in Fortune entitled On Your Own Time. These stories took her to Bonaire in the Caribbean for undersea photography, to Iceland for salmon fishing, to an archaeological dig in Texas and to a ski patrol in Vermont amongst many other locations. Many of these articles have been collected in a book by Marilyn, On Your Own Time: The Fortune Guide to Executive Leisure. Upon her retirement from Fortune, Marilyn became active in the Women’s City Club of New York (WCC ) a non-profit, non-partisan, multi-issue activist organization dedicated to improving the lives of all New Yorkers. (The Club is now known as Women Creating Change.) In 2009 she was recognized by the WCC as its Honoree of the Year with the following description of her efforts on its behalf: “MARILYN WELLEMEYER, a WCC member since 1996, is the Chair of WCC’s Communication Committee. She is currently the Editor of AGENDA, a post she has held for the last five years and was the Editor of BULLETIN for 11 years. Marilyn served two three-year terms

on the Nominating Committee and is currently on the Executive and Membership Committees.” Despite her very busy and exciting life, Marilyn always made time to spend with her friends and family. She was a member of the Cosmopolitan Club in New York City for many years. She was also one of the many volunteers who organized the Br yn Mawr book sale held every spring at Princeton Day School. Marilyn first became acquainted with the Princeton area in 1949 when her parents bought a farm on Bedens Brook Road. She enjoyed visiting the farm on weekends to recharge her bat ter ies af ter ver y late nights “putting to bed” magazines on which she was working. After her retirement, she purchased a home in Princeton in 1990 where she enjoyed gardening; she knew all the Latin names as well as the common names of the species in her garden. Marilyn is survived by her brother John, and his wife, Louise, who live in Princeton, New Jersey, with their twin sons, Douglas and James. She is also survived by her nephew, Robert Wellemeyer and his wife, Beth, of Castleton, Virginia; her nephew William Wellemeyer and his wife, Lori, of Shreveport, Louisiana; and her niece Edith Wellemeyer of Lafayette, Louisiana. Bob is the father of Autumn Reynolds of Palmyra, Virginia and Ry and Dane Wellemeyer of Castleton, Virginia. William is the father of William John Wellemeyer of College Station, Texas. Marilyn’s brother, William R. Wellemeyer of Covington Louisiana, the father of Robert, William and Edith predeceased Marilyn. Her parents, Elmer Haefner Wellemeyer and Edith Hess Wellemeyer of Skillman, New Jersey, also predeceased her. A funeral service will be held at the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home at 40 Vandeventer Avenue in Princeton beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday, December 21. It is suggested that anyone wishing to remember Marilyn make a gift to the financial aid funds at Bryn Mawr College and/or The Louise S. McGehee School: Alumni Relations and Development, Bryn Mawr College, 101 North Merion Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010; The Office of Development, The Louise S. McGehee School, 2343 Prytania Street, New Orleans, LA 70130.

PROS & CONS OF ARTIFICIAL TURF Homeowners are using artificial turf for many different applications, including lawns, play areas, dog runs, putting greens, pool surrounds, and more. If you’re wondering if synthetic turf is a good choice for your home, consider these pros and cons: PRO: There’s no need to hire a lawn crew or do your own mowing, trimming, and weeding. You also won’t have to invest any time or money on fertilizers or reseeding trouble spots. There are no watering requirements which further reduces cost. CON: Leaves from nearby bushes and trees will still accumulate on an artificial lawn. If you don’t remove them, weeds can grow in the leaf debris, creating another yard chore. PRO: Depending on the quality of the product, artificial turf can last 15 to 25 years. CON: Premium artificial grass can cost upwards of $20 per square foot, installed. PRO: Synthetic grass is often manufactured with partially recycled materials. CON: Turf manufacturing is not an environmentally-friendly process, and most materials cannot be recycled when it’s time for a replacement. Source: National Association of Realtors

LIVE CHRISTMAS TREES with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

Live Christmas trees should be left indoors for a maximum of 7 to 10 days, preferably one or two days before Christmas to New Years Day. A suitable outdoor location for your new tree should be chosen in early December. Dig a hole approximately 36 inches in diameter and 16 inches deep. Remove all the soil and store it in a protected area (garage or basement) where it will not freeze. Prior to bringing your tree indoors, enclose the entire burlapped root area with a sheet of heavy-duty plastic, securing it at the top of the balled area. Be careful not to puncture or tear the plastic because it is designed to hold water. After the tree has been brought indoors and set up, add approximately one gallon of water inside the plastic. This should be enough for 7 to 10 days. When it is time to move the tree outdoors, be sure to remove the plastic sheeting. Place the tree in the pre-dug hole at the proper depth and backfill with the previous stored soil. By following these simple instructions, you will greatly increase the survival rate for your new tree. The rewards and satisfaction derived by successfully transplanting your own live tree are immeasurable. Call WOODWINDS (609) 924-3500 or email treecare@woodwinds.biz to schedule an assessment of your landscape.
