Participants will decorate hearts and adorn them with poetr y and inspirational quotes, to be displayed at the HomeFront Family Campus in Ewing, where temporary shelter and tools for self-sufficiency are provided for up to 38 families experiencing homelessness. Ongoing highlights as the Week of Hope continues will include virtual learning forums about local homelessness and hunger solutions, and how to get involved; a panel of experts on “Hunger and Homelessness in the Time of COVID-19”; numerous volunteer opportunities; and the premiere of Homeless, a short movie produced by Force for Good. “Every year our Week of Hope introduces us to so many new people in the communit y interested in learning and helping locally, and it’s been great for reconnecting with old friends too,” said HomeFront Director of Community Engagement Meghan Cubano. “With the pandemic, most of us are starting to feel weary, but also a sense that we will be turning a corner soon. So a Week of Hope right now feels just so appropriate — a week of conversations about the local situation and ways to get involved, in a variety of formats.” On Thursday, February 18 at 6 p.m., the panel of experts discussing homelessness and hunger during the COV ID -19 pandemic will feature Mercer Street Friends CEO Bernie Flynn, Emily Lemmerman of the Princeton University Eviction Lab, Trenton School

District Parent Liaison and former HomeFront client Crystol Thompson-Dyous, HomeFront Chief of Operations Sarah Steward, and Statewide New Jersey Community Schools Coalition Coordinator Gregory Stankiew icz.

Outdoor Work Sessions At Billy Johnson Preserve

Friends of Princeton Open Space invites the public to join “LOVE Your Park Day” at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve on Saturday, February 13. There will be two sessions: 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1-4 p.m. During this outdoor work session, volunteer stewards will work under the guidance of the natural resource manager using pr u ners, loppers, and hand saws to remove invasive vines and shrubs from the woodland habitat that borders the park entrance.

Volunteers should bring their own mask, water bottle, and work gloves. Social distancing practices will be followed when working by maintaining a 6-foot distance from others and by wearing a mask when unable to maintain this distance. Wearing long sleeves, long pants, and work boots, and dressing in layers, is recommended. Due to limitations on gathering, registration via Eventbrite is required. Visit fopos. org for the links.

Some local health care providers are also offering vaccinations and may use a separate registration process. A list of New Jersey COVID-19 vaccination sites is available at covid19.nj.gov. On Thursday, February 11, people will be able to begin booking vaccination appointments at CVS, with sign-ups at cvs.com/immunizations. CVS has said that vaccines will be administered at 27 CVS locations across the state, including in Princeton, but it has not yet listed specific stores where the vaccine will be available. The Princeton COVID-19 Update notes that existing wait lists maintained by local health departments will continue to identify people for county-level vaccine clinics, with eligible residents who have pre-registered with the municipality being offered appointments and then scheduled for vaccines at either MCCC or the CURE Arena. It may take weeks or more to vaccinate everyone on the current Princeton waitlist, so new additions to the waitlist are not available at this time. The NJDOH announced Monday that 31 cases of the highly contagious variant of the coronavirus that was first discovered in the United Kingdom had been detected in New Jersey. One of the cases was found in Mercer County, and the others are spread over 10 other counties in the state. On Monday, February 8, the Princeton Health Department reported continuing progress in controlling the virus, with just nine new COVID-19 cases in Princeton in the previous seven days and 17 new cases in the previous 14 days. Princeton’s highest totals were 39 for seven days and 66 for 14 days, both recorded in mid-December. In his February 9 report, Murphy pointed out positive trends in declining numbers of new cases, fewer COVIDrelated hospitalizations, and a transmission rate down to 0.83, the lowest rate since late August and significantly below the number 1, which indicates that the outbreak is slowing. The Princeton Health Department continues to remind residents that “adherence to safety measures like wearing masks, social distancing, keeping hands clean, and covering the face when sneezing or coughing are still very effective in limiting community spread of Covid-19 and its variants.” —Donald Gilpin

“Cooking with CASA” Features Chef Bennett

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of Mercer and Burlington Counties has announced the Cooking with CASA series, a new event offering virtual cooking classes with renowned chefs, in support of CASA’s mission and work with children in foster care. Registration is now open for the class on Thursday, February 11, at 6 p.m. featuring recipes using chocolate created by chef Robert Bennett of Classic Cake Bakery and Café. Bennett joined Classic Cake in 2005 and has shared his culinary passion through work as a creative chef, teacher and owner. Upon graduation from the New England Culinar y Institute ( NECI ), Bennett began his career as an executive pastry instructor at his alma mater. In January 1985, he was appointed the Honored Pastry Chef for President Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration, leading a small team of NECI students to prepare a cake for 44,000 guests. Bennett was hired as head pastry chef at Philadelphia’s Le Bec-Fin in 1987, and worked under the guidance of Chef Georges Perrier for more than a decade. “CASA of Mercer and Burlington’s volunteers are so excited to offer these virtual cooking classes to the community,” said CASA’s Executive Director Laura Wall. “This is a great way for anyone who is interested in food and cooking to learn and have fun, and at the same time support CASA’s important work.” American Sign Language services are being provided for the event by the DeafHear ing Com mu n icat ions Centre, based in Swarthmore, Pa. CASA’s mission is to train and super vise communit y volunteers who advocate for the best interests of children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and/ or neglect.

Great Migration to NJ Is Topic of Trent Talk

How did one of the largest and most rapid movements of people in history affect New Jersey? In a virtual illustrated talk presented by the Trent House Museum on Saturday, February 27 at 1 p.m., history scholar Linda Caldwell Epps will consider the question. “Open the Door, I’ll Get It Myself: The Great Migration to New Jersey” will focus on how New Jersey’s African American population multiplied during what is known as the Great Migration in the early decades of the 20th century. Epps, president and CEO of 1804 Consultants and co-founder of the Sankofa Collaborative, will explore the factors leading African Americans to take on the challenges and risks of leaving communities and families in the South for an unknown,

but hoped for, better future in the North. She will share stories of some of these migrants, and discuss how their arrival changed life and culture in New Jersey’s cities. The Trent House Museum is beginning to collect oral histories of African American families who settled in Trenton after leaving the South or other regions and countries during the period of the Great Migration from 1916 to 1970. Anyone who would like more information or learn how to share their family’s story is encouraged to contact the Trent House Association at trentonhouseassociation@verizon.net or (609) 989-0087.

Donate Blood to Honor Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors, and especially those who have recovered from COVID-19, to give blood to honor the legacies of African Americans like Dr. Charles Drew and Dr. Jerome Holland. Their passion for helping improve the lives of patients in need of lifesaving blood products is carried on through dedicated blood donors, blood drive sponsors, volunteers, and Red Cross employees. Drew, an African American surgeon, was the medical director of the first Red Cross blood bank in 1941. Drew’s research about the storage and shipment of blood plasma proved that blood could be stored for transfusions. Many of the processes he developed are still in use today. As the first African American chair of the Red Cross Board of Governors, Holland was passionate about blood research. His commitment to providing the safest possible blood products for patients in need helped inform many safeguards the Red Cross has in place today to not only protect patients, but also blood donors. Donors have the ability to create a legacy of their own simply by rolling up a sleeve

University Juniors Create Proposals To Enhance Equity in COVID Crisis Facing the daunting challenges of remote teaching during the pandemic, Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) Lecturer Heather Howard, who is also director of state health and value strategies with Princeton University’s Center for Health and Wellbeing, not only managed to engage the students in her course, Health Care for Vulnerable Populations in the U.S., she also led them in a collaborative effort to help New Jersey Department of Health Officials (NJDOH) combat COVID-19 and systemic racism. “We had two pandemics converging: COVID-19 and the reckoning with racial injustice,” said Howard. “Students were eager to bring these issues into the classroom.” Or at least into the Zoom sphere. Former commissioner of health and senior services

for New Jersey and a former Princeton councilwoman, Howard described the class assignment t hat star ted the discussion and led her students to create detailed proposals that they eventually presented to a Zoom gathering of a dozen senior staff at the NJDOH. “We started this by asking: ‘Is COVID an equalizer or a magnifier?’’ said Howard in a February 6 phone i nter v iew. “Us ua lly you think that a communicable disease is an equal opportunity infector. It doesn’t know class, race, or other traditional boundaries. But we ended up concluding that the pandemic was not an equalizer but instead was magnifying and preying on inequalities, so that class and race and pr iv ileges protected people and COVID was preying on those inequities.” Howard, who redesigned

her course curriculum in shifting the focus from state health policy generally to policy addressing health issues in the pandemic, called on her class of 11 juniors majoring in SPIA and working on their 25-page junior papers to work towards health policy solutions for the state of New Jersey. “Making the subject matter so current and relevant was really helpful,” she said. “It’s that much more engaging when you’re talking about something that is so topical, especially bringing in the reckoning on racial justice. Students have been living in the same moments we’ve all been living in with this reckoning, and bringing that into the classroom and applying that was really meaningful.” Howard ack nowledged the difficulties in making connections on Zoom, but she carried out two strategies that helped. First, she was able to hold office hours in her backyard during the fall months for students who lived in the area or were staying with friends in nearby rented houses. “Even sitting 10 feet apart with masks is still connecting in a way that you can’t connect electronically,” she said. “Also, I’ve gotten better at Zoom, and the University has been very helpful,” she added. “Princeton has done a lot of training for the faculty, and we’ve found some ways to make the most of the technology.” Howard described some

of the students’ proposals. “One student looked at how New Jersey was faring compared with other states at depopulating jails and prisons and came up with proposals for the most efficient and fair ways to depopulate jails and prisons,” she said. “One of the course themes was that people in congregate living situations are at greater risk for COVID. We know that from long-term care settings, but also from prisons and for migrant farm workers.” She cited another student who investigated ways to protect migrant farm workers, who tend to live in dormitories or other very close quarters and because of their immigration status are reluctant to interact with the health care system. “He found that Michigan was doing a very good job of protecting migrant farm workers and recommended that the state of New Jersey learn from Michigan,” she said. Two of Howard’s students worked at long-term care (LTC) centers, investigating, among other issues, what can be done to create isolation wards for people who have been discharged from the hospital and tested positive for COVID. She noted that about 40 percent of COVID-related deaths have been at LTCs. Another student in Howard’s class researched the subject of inequity in addressing the Black maternal mortality crisis, which has been a focal point for New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. Howard pointed out that Black women are five times more likely to die from preg-

nancy-related causes than white women, and Howard’s student investigated how the pandemic might have affected that situation. The student developed a perspective on ways that the state could support at-home birthing as a possible means of promoting safer birthing options during the pandemic. She proposed expanding Medicaid coverage for home births and midwives to make them more affordable and accessible. “I am so proud of the work they did,” said Howard. “Each topic was compelling, and I was impressed by their ability to dive deep and grapple with the challenges and tradeoffs in implementing health policy, especially during a pandemic.” She went on, “The health department officials were very impressed with how thoughtful and specific the st udents’ research was. One of the staffers even asked to follow up with one of my students to find out more about their research, and they asked to read the students’ final papers, so I shared the papers with them.” Howard noted that on many of these issues the NJDOH was already doing many of the things that were proposed, but they were limited by time and budget constraints. New Jersey was one of the first states hit by the pandemic, and officials had to learn on the job. “The tragedy of learning by doing,” Howard said. “In many instances they responded to the students’ proposals saying, ‘Yes, we’re going to be doing that.’” Delving into problems af-

fecting LTCs, including staff shortages, lack of personal protective equipment, and care requiring close contact, Emma Davis, a junior and SPIA concentrator, studied the data, pored through newspaper ar ticles, and conducted interviews. “The lacking federal response wasn’t bad at its root because states could shape policies according to their populations and resources, but it led to avoidable mistakes,” she said. “There is clear evidence, for example, that if these facilities had been warned earlier about the threat of COVID-19, actions could have been taken sooner to prevent spread.” H e r prop o s a ls to t h e NJDOH included targeted testing and isolation of sick patients, higher wages to bolster staffing, and a prioritized vaccine protocol for staff and patients. “T he h igh light of t he course for me was presenting our research topics and policy recommendations to New Jersey health officials and discussing barriers to policy implementation into communities,” Davis wrote in an email. “Understanding the complex structures in place, such as states balancing their budget at the end of each fiscal year, was by far the most valuable learning experience for creating effective policies.” Additional funding to assist Howard in redesigning the course came from Princeton’s 250th Anniversary Fund for Innovation in Undergraduate Education. —Donald Gilpin

A controversial proposal by Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart ( PASH ) to turn grass playing fields into artificial turf fields, to be leased by the Princeton Soccer Association (PSA), was withdrawn last week by the school’s attorney. “A f ter consu lt ing w it h my clients over the last few days, we’ve come to the conclusion that it would be in the applicant’s best interest to withdraw the application at this time,” Bob Ridolfi told the Princeton Planning Board at its Febr uar y 4 meeting. “This would give us more time to take a second look at our plan, and spend more time thinking about the more global issues. We look forward to coming back and reapplying at the most appropriate time. We will let you know what the schedule is as soon as we have determined we are ready to move forward again.”

PASH is a private school for boys in grades K- 8. T here has been considerable opposition to the school’s plan since it was first announced at the end of September. Neighbors of the academy, which is based in a Tudor Revival mansion on the Great Road, on the Princeton Ridge, have cited concerns about environmental issues, noise, and lighting. The Princeton Ridge is known to be environmentally fragile and ecologically diverse, and is home to various threatened and endangered species. Neighbors have also questioned whether Princeton Soccer Association is a for-profit organization, complaining that the PSA had formed a nonprofit entity just before a December Planning Board meeting, to evade zoning regulations. At that meeting, Princeton Zoning Officer Derek Bridger

Mailbox Thanking Donors, Sponsors for Support Of Princeton Nursery School Fundraiser

To the Editor: On February 6, members of our community came together for a virtual fundraiser to support the Princeton Nursery School (PNS). “A Starry Starry Evening” included an informative and lively discussion between CNBC’s Brian Sullivan and the school’s executive director, Rosanda Wong, detailing the nonprofit’s mission and the challenges it and its families’ continue to face due to the pandemic. In addition, attendees were treated to a soulful, live performance by singer/songwriter and Princeton’s own, Carly King. The event raised much needed funds to benefit the nationally accredited early education program and hunger prevention program at PNS and also to provide scholarships for children of families in need. PNS is located on Leigh Avenue and was founded in 1929 to provide working families with affordable care. Along with a quality preschool education, the school also provides support services for economically disadvantaged students and their working parents. The school’s hunger prevention program includes breakfast, hot lunch, and snack and also participates in the Send Hunger Packing program, which provides nutritious meals for the weekend. The continued outpouring of support for PNS is a testament to how much our donors and friends value and recognize the need for affordable early childhood education and hunger prevention right in the Princeton area community. PNS helps families break the cycle of poverty by making child care and year-round preschool education an affordable option for them. PNS and its board of trustees would again like to send a sincere thank you to all of our generous donors and corporate sponsors including NFP, PNC Bank, Bryn Mawr Trust, and Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty. More information about PNS can be found at princetonnurseryschool.org. DANIELLE BENTSEN, MD President, Board of Trustees Princeton Nursery School

To the Editor: This year started with the historic inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and their commitment to unity and strengthening our democracy. PDMC and PCDO were thrilled to play a small part in this historic moment in the 2020 elections, and in this historic moment we call on our fellow Democrats to serve our community by considering running for elected office — we all have a role to play in advancing unity and strengthening our democracy. As president of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO), in conjunction with Tommy Parker, the chair of Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee (PDMC), we are writing to encourage all Princeton Democrats to consider serving their community by getting more involved in the local Democratic Party or the local government. In this year’s election, there will be a Primary Election in June and a General Election in November for two open seats on Princeton Council. On the ballot will be candidates for New Jersey governor and state Assembly and Senate representatives. In Mercer County, we will elect a county surrogate and three county commissioners. We invite you to join us at an open house meeting, which will be held via Zoom, on Saturday, February 13, from 10 to 11 a.m. to find out more about running and participating. The meeting is open to all, but you must RSVP so we can send you the Zoom link. Please respond to Patty Soll at patty@ princetondems.org. Topics to be covered include how candidates get on the ballot, the local Democratic Party endorsement process, and the differences between the PDMC and the PCDO. Local candidates should let us know by February 28 at the latest if they intend to seek the endorsement of the PCDO and/or the PDMC in March. We want to thank the community as well as the members of the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee and the PCDO for their support of a transparent and vibrant political culture that helps keep our government responsive to its residents.

Books Money and War Subject Of PU Public Lecture

Princeton University Public Lectures and Partners Present “Money and War — An American Conversation” on Wednesday, February 17 at 5 p.m. The participants are Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ayad Akhtar, historian of India Faisal Devji, and novelist and scholar Sadia Abbas. The speakers will consider Akhtar’s novel, Homeland Elegies, “as a new kind of American novel, neither diasporic nor postcolonial, a 9/11 novel without being about 9/11, and a major work of fiction about the Trump presidency and its prehistory.” Writing in The New York Times, Dwight Garner calls Homeland Elegies “a beautiful novel about an American son and his immigrant father that has echoes of The Great Gatsby and that circles, with pointed intellect, the possibilities and limitations of American life.” Homeland Elegies has been named one of The New York Times 10 Best Books of 2020. This virtual event is hosted in partnership with Labyrinth Books, Princeton University’s

Lewis Center for the Arts, McCarter Theatre, Princeton’s Office of the Dean of Religious Life, Princeton’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and The Princeton Public Library. Ayad Akhtar is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (for the play Disgraced) and an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Sadia Abbas is associate professor of English at Rutgers University. Her work focuses on postcolonial literature and theory and the culture and politics of Islam in modernity. She is the author of the novel The Empty Room and of At Freedom’s Limit: Islam and the Postcolonial Predicament. Faisal Devji is professor of Indian History and director of the Asian Studies Center at Oxford University. He is interested in Indian political thought as well as that of modern Islam. His broader concerns include ethics and violence in a globalized world. His most recent book is Muslim Zion: Pakistan as a Political Idea. For the link to register, visit labyrinthbooks.com.

FILM/BOOK REVIEW

The Ballad of Wardell Gray: Celebrating a Jazz Legend at 100

ooking out the back window Monday afternoon I saw three deer in the snow behind the big black boulder, our piece of the Princeton Ridge. Led by a stag with a classic set of antlers, they were there and gone in the space of a minute. Something in that snow scene, the sudden wonder of it, resonated with my thoughts about Wardell Gray, whose 100th birthday is this Saturday, February 13. At that moment I was thinking someone should write a song for Wardell, something like “Percy’s Song” by Bob Dylan, the Fairport Convention cover, with Sandy Denny singing her heart out (“Turn turn turn again, turn turn to the rain and the wind”), infusing the words with so much passion and warmth that the monstrous injustice of the story makes you feel uplifted and brought down at the same time. But Wardell’s tale is deeper and darker than that. Dylan could write another song in the same key, or maybe something righteously outraged like “Hurricane.” For a kinder, gentler version with an edge, you could look to Stew, who wrote a lovely tribute to Thelonious Monk for his group the Negro Problem. Or better yet, something along the melodic lines of “Nature Boy” as rendered by Nat King Cole in 1948, the year Wardell came into his own as the star tenor sax soloist with Benny Goodman and then Count Basie, with his epic solos on “The King” and “Little Pony.” Thanks in great part to the national exposure that came from playing with Goodman, Wardell jumped from nowhere to fourth place in the tenor sax division of the 1948 Metronome poll. To understand why Lester Young “gave a blanket endorsement” of Gray when asked who the best tenor man of the new generation was, all you have to do is listen to the Goodman small group performing “Mary’s Idea,” a nice, genteel, crisply swinging little number — until a tenor sax life-force blazes through the tidy chamber-music table setting and takes everything to another level. What you’re hearing is the epitome of the late Whitney Balliet’s phrase for jazz, “the sound of surprise” — joyous energy, moving fast and fluid, full of life and love in the playing. Whether he was playing or speaking, Wardell Gray was one of the most articulate jazz musicians of his time, Black or white. Along with his interest in serious literature, classical music, ballet, gourmet cooking, leftwing politics, and existential philosophy, he belonged to the NAACP at a time when the group was considered radical enough to assure him a place in the files of the FBI. He was also devoted to

his wife and stepdaughter, writing in one of his last letters that he looked forward to the three of them “working hard, studying, going to school, perfecting ourselves for one another.” Half a year later on the opening night of the first mixed-race night club in Las Vegas, his body was found in a drainage ditch on the outskirts of town. Though drugs were involved and foul play was ruled out after an abbreviated investigation, the circumstances were mysterious enough to inspire Bill Moody’s 1995 detective novel, Death of a Tenor Man. The Curse Abraham Ravett’s invaluable 1994 documentary Forgotten Tenor, which is available on DVD at the Princeton Public Library, contains numerous references to the “curse,” meaning the part heroin played in Gray’s death, which is discussed

have six senses because that other sense has to deal with that monster out there.” Infectious Fervor Jazz biographer Dave Gelly describes what the jazz world lost on May 25, 1955: “Wardell Gray’s clear, bright, almost severe tone was matched by an improvised line of such sculptural purity that expressive devices of any kind would have been out of place. He negotiated the chromatic intricacies of bebop with spare, athletic grace and a burning intelligence that can bring tears to the eyes. He was the greatest of all bebop tenor saxophonists and his untimely death is a cause of infinite regret.” In the chapter devoted to Gray in Ten Modern Jazzmen, Michael James writes: “When he died the modern jazz scene lost a man whose powers of imagination and

one of the most used terms, along with “unremitting swing.” He has also been called the “Missing Link between Swing and Bop” and compared to “a comet tearing through the center of late 40s bop” or “a falling star” that “flashed across the jazz horizon.” Playing His Heart Out Interviewed in Forgotten Tenor, Count Basie bassist Jimmie Lewis provides an earthier, more spontaneous picture of Wardell in action: “He liked to tell jokes. But he was very tender hearted, he would cry in a minute, you know? Little things could upset him. He was very serious about all his music too, he liked everything to be just right, and when he’d come on the bandstand, it was all business, he always knew where he was going. His tone was very melodic, unless he was playing something fast. He used to create as he went along, you know? You can always tell when something new pops into his mind while he’s playing, because he’d always smile, you can see him smiling while he’s playing his horn. I’d like to see him featured in a film where he could really show off his talent. Say it was just the band playing in the background, and put him out front, and he plays the first chorus, and right in the middle of the thing he says, come on, let’s play, let’s play now! And he played that thing, he played his heart out man, and he gave the whole band a lift because he had so much to offer you know?” Mind Reading esides being a time-traveler, YouTube’s a mind reader. Or so it seems when this ingenious and totally amoral online illusionist follows me from Fanny Mendelssohn to Billie Holiday, Schubert to Wardell Gray without a hitch. Admitted, YT’s acts of association are triggered by the choices I’ve made, whether it’s the second movement from Schuberts Octet, or the second take of Gray’s reinvention of Gershwin’s “The Man I Love,” with spirited, sensitive accompaniment by Dodo Marmarosa. Heard for the first time late one night in November 1998, the familiar Gershwin melody never quite revealed itself, as if it were haunting a song I had never heard before. —Stuart Mitchner The cover of Forgotten Tenor shows Wardell Gray smilingly enduring the playful embrace of Stan Hasselgaard, the Swedish clarinetist who played with him in the Benny Goodman septet and considered him “the best tenor in America.”

in detail by someone who was on the scene at the time, tenor man Teddy Edwards. Besides implying that this ugly death was emblematic of more than drugs and the stresses and excesses of the jazz life, Edwards seems to suggest that the Jim Crow environment of Las Vegas was itself a contributing factor. When Gray didn’t show up for the second show, Edwards knew that “something was drastically wrong because in Las Vegas at that time, black people weren’t allowed to go into the places on the Strip, and so he had to be in some form of trouble, either in the hospital or in jail or dead.” Later, when asked about “the inherent racism” in America, Edwards said: “We’ve been living with that demon all our lives …. Black people in America

execution, impressive as they were, had always been at one with the infectious fervor of his art.” The range of responses inspired by Gray was attuned both to the style of his playing and his body language, as this compendium of various reviews and liner notes indicates: “elegant, yet powerful,” “rare grace and beauty,” “cruises effortlessly through the changes with a logical ease,” “long, smooth, swinging phrases,” “lithe melodic lines,” “lucid fluency,” “lyrical, blues-inflected angularity,” “unfaltering linear invention,” “smooth, consistent tone,” “constant emotional pulse,” “dreamy, lilting,” “beautifully agile,” “beautiful and sensitive,” and so on and on, with “consistency”

New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Marks Lunar New Year With Festival of Virtual Events

ew Jersey Symphony Orchestra celebrated the Year of the Ox last week by launching six days of performances and demonstrations leading up to a virtual concert on Saturday night. Led by NJSO Music Director Xian Zhang, Saturday’s concert premiere featured members of the Orchestra as well as guest artists performing both classical works and traditional Chinese songs. Saturday night’s event was preceded by five days of short performances and demonstrations of Lunar New Yearrelated activities. Highlights of this series including NJSO violinist Ming Yang and her daughter Jade Lucia Nieczkowski performing an elegant arrangement of “Fisherman’s Song at Eventide” and New Jersey middle school student Harmony Zhu playing a fiery interpretation of Frédéric Chopin’s Ballade No. 4 in F Minor. Audiences tuning into this series cold also learn how to cook Tteokguk — a traditional Korean New Year’s soup made with sliced rice cakes taught by NJSO principal bassist Ha-Young Jung — as well as a variety of wontons, demonstrated by violinist Xin Zhao. More than a year in the making, Saturday night’s concert was the third annual NJSO Lunar New Year celebration. Music Director Zhang and the Symphony have used this event over the past few years to collaborate with other artists and community organizations, attracting new audiences in the process. Expanding into a week-long celebration was a new innovation this year, and several of the artists who participated in demonstrations during the week were part of Saturday night’s performance. NJSO opened the concert with the same piece which has opened all of its Lunar New Year celebrations — Spring Festival Overture by 20th-century Chinese composer Li Huanzhi. This piece was scored for full orchestra, which was not possible this year, and Saturday’s opening was a 2019 archival recording accompanied by visual images of the past two Lunar New Year concerts. New Jersey Symphony turned back to its current roster with Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Andante Cantabile for Cello and Orchestra, featuring principal cellist Jonathan Spitz. Originally the second movement of a string quartet and a favorite of the composer, this piece was arranged by Tchaikovsky himself for solo cello and string orchestra. Conductor Zhang led Spitz and a string ensemble of just over 20 in a recording session in late January at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, spacing string players across the stage. Maintaining very subtle conducting gestures, Zhang guided the players through a work rooted in early 19th-century elegance while Spitz provided rich cello playing. Beginning right off with solo cello, Spitz played consistently with minimal vibrato but maximum refinement, allowing the opening Russian folk tune to unfold. NJSO featured two outstanding soloists in this concert, including pianist George

Li, who recently graduated from a joint Harvard University/New England Conservatory program. Li’s website shows an image of the pianist with his fingers on fire, and that certainly was the case in his performance of Franz Liszt’s arrangement of Franz Schubert’s art song “Der Erlkönig.” Liszt’s piano works are notoriously demonic, and the piano transcription of Schubert’s tale of a child’s death and the supernatural was full of frenzied technical requirements. In Li’s interpretation, the octaves in his left hand showed his strength, complemented by rapid-fire repeated octaves in his right hand. Li found dynamic contrast and drama throughout the music and maintained continuous suspense and drive, with each return to the refrain more intense. Xuefei Yang is China’s leading classical guitarist, and is particularly known for transferring techniques of China’s more traditional instruments to the guitar. Yang gracefully conveyed a free-flowing melody of the traditional “Fisherman’s Song at Eventide,” with even arpeggios and cleanly-played repeated notes. Yang also joined NJSO cellist Na-Young Baek and the ensemble of strings for Astor Piazzolla’s Libertango. With a virtuosic guitar part which skipped all over the fretboard, Yang provided a percussive effect to Baek’s solid melodic playing. Guitar, cello and strings together created an atmosphere which was very intense, as tangos tend to be. NJSO borrowed from the past and acknowledged the present in the choral works presented Saturday night. The Symphony has long-standing relationships with the Starry Arts Group Children’s Chorus, Peking University Philharmonic and Alumni Choruses and Montclair State University choruses, and all were part of this virtual concert. The Starry Arts Group Children’s Chorus performed virtually, with an animated and cleverlyedited rendition of Gu Jianfen’s “Spring Dawn” and “Singing and Smiling.” The young singers of this chorus demonstrated a solid ability to sing in two parts, even when far from one another. Don Besig’s “Flying Free” was performed by an ensemble of the Peking University Philharmonic Chorus remotely onstage, with members of the Alumni Chorus and singers from Montclair State University joining virtually. The singers were all accompanied by NJSO Conductor Zhang on the piano and NJSO principal flute Bart Feller, and the performance was brilliantly edited by NJSO violinist Darryl Kubian — no small feat with performers sending in their vocal parts from all over the world. ew Jersey Symphony Orchestra hopes to build on the past three years of its Lunar New Year celebrations to expand into representing more Asian countries in the coming years. This year’s Festival was an amalgamation of music and complicated technology. Plans are no doubt afoot for next year’s Festival, which hopefully can be presented with all its grandeur in a live space. —Nancy Plum

BACK ON STAGE: New York City Ballet begins a digital spring season February 22 with performances of ballets including “Stravinsky Violin Concerto,” pictured here with dancers Taylor Stanley and Sara Mearns. The season takes place on the stage of the company’s home at Lincoln Center, but there is no live audience.

New York City Ballet Presents Digital Season

Beginning February 22, the New York City Ballet is back on stage at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. Performances, rehearsals, and conversations specially filmed at the theater make up the digital spring season, which runs through May. The company hopes to return to live performances in front of audiences in September. Ballets by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, and contemporary choreographers Justin Peck and Kyle Abra ha m are par t of the season. It begins with three week-long explorations of Balanchine’s “Prodigal Son,” “Theme and

Variations,” and “Stravinsky Violin Concerto” February 22-March 8. Each week will include a stream of a previously filmed performance, plus videos, podcasts, interviews with dancers who previously performed the roles, and rehearsal footage. “As the company continues to plan for our return to the Koch Theater stage in September for the start of the 2021-22 performance season, we will once again present a series of digital programs with much of the content newly filmed in our theater at Lincoln Center,” said Artistic Director Jonathan Stafford. “That glorious venue, NYCB’s home since 1964, has been dark for nearly a year, and to see the theater begin to re-

awaken with NYCB’s wonderful dancers performing new works by Justin Peck and Kyle Abraham, as well as iconic masterpieces by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, is going to be a thrilling experience for all of us.” Premieres will be the focus starting April 8. The work by Abraham is being created this month during a residency at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park in Tivoli, N.Y., and will be filmed at the end of February. The ballet company is also presenting workshops for different ages and levels of experience, including people with disabilities.

Edison Film Festival Offers Screenings, Talks

The Thomas Edison Film Festival, formerly known as the Black Maria Film Festival, kicks off its 2021 season February 20 at 7:30 p.m. with a free online screening and filmmaker conversation. The festival will premiere with a virtual screen-

ing of five award-winning films by Lisa Barcy, Otto Bell, Charley and Eriel Santagado, Lynne Sachs, and Sophie Shui. The films represent experimental, animation, documentary, and narrative genres. The screening will be preceded by a discussion with filmmakers led by director Jane Steuerwald, and the presentation of the Edison Innovation Award to Sachs. The festival is an international juried competition celebrating all genres and independent filmmakers across the globe. It was founded in 1981 and originally named for Thomas Edison’s West Orange film studio, whose resemblance to the familiar black-box shaped police paddy wagons sparked the nickname “black maria.” The festival’s relationship to Edison’s invention of the motion camera and the kinetoscope, and his experimentation with the short film, is at the core of the annual event. The festival received more than 500 submissions for the 2021 season from every continent except Antarctica. Jurors Margaret Parsons, head curator of film at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and Henry Baker, filmmaker and former director of Synapse Video Center, chose 100 films and awarded the top prizes. Following the Princeton premiere, the films are made available for screenings in the United States and abroad. The premiered films will remain to view on-demand through February 21. Advance registration is required. Visit Princeton.edu for the Zoom link.

PSO BRAVO! Project Presents Four-Part Series

Musicians of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Das Musikalische Opfer (The Musical Offering), BWV 1079 over four musical episodes, released weekly on the orchestra’s website beginning Wednesday, February 17 through Wednesday, March 10. The PSO’s assistant conductor, Nell Flanders, is curating the project, which is being individually recorded in musicians’ homes then combined digitally. Each segment features one-six musicians and is hosted by Flanders who introduces t he music in tandem with conversations centering on Bach and his work. Each episode is free to the online community. The project is a community extension of the orchestra’s PSO BRAVO! Education Programs and includes

plans to actively involve student musicians of the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey and Trenton Music Makers in supplemental programming. P S O E xe c u t ive D ire c tor Marc Uys said, “These recorded presentations of Bach’s music are a gift from the Princeton Symphony Orchestra with participation by almost all of the PSO’s tenured musicians. We’re pleased to be able to offer this excursion into Bach’s measured world, a mental escape from the pandemic stresses of today. For students of music, there is an opportunity for hands-on exploration of Baroque music forms such as canon and round.” Flanders holds the recently named position of Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s Georg and Joyce A lbers - Schonberg Assis tant Conductor. She brings her varied experiences as a professional conductor,

violinist, and educator to her work, and has conducted the orchestra in ballet, popular classics, and holiday concerts. Flanders is committed to educating the next generation of musicians and music lovers. Through a partnership of the PSO and the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey (YOCJ), she now serves as the conductor of the YOCJ’s Symphonic Orchestra.

“LITTLE GIRL IN A LARGE RED HAT”: This Impressionist painting by Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) is now part of the Princeton University Art Museum’s collections, which include a pastel masterpiece and ten drawings and prints by the artist.

Cassatt Masterpiece Joins how a woman artist made ier body and background, an PU Art Museum Collections her way in the patriarchal emerging hallmark of the

The Princeton University Art Museum has acquired Mary Cassatt’s Little Girl in a Large Red Hat (ca. 1881), an insightful portrayal of young girlhood and a masterpiece of Impressionist painting. Dating from the early peak of Cassatt’s career, as she fully assimilated the Impressionist style that informed her strongest work, the canvas is distinguished by its painterly characterization, depicting the artist’s signature subject of a young girl with both compellingly revealed technique and psychological complexity. “A work such as this one, which comes from the final years when the artist was exhibiting with the Impressionists in Paris, not only tells us so much about process and technique but also allows us to engage with important questions about

art world of the time,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher–David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director. “This extraordinary painting will be able to move fluidly among galleries devoted to European or American art as part of the new Museum we are in the process of shaping.” Born near Pittsburgh in 1844, Cassatt lived and worked primarily in France. She was one of the few women artists invited to join the Impressionist exhibitions and focused on portrayals of women and children in domestic settings. Little Girl in a Large Red Hat was likely painted in Paris or its immediate env irons, where Cassat t spent the summers of 1880 through 1882. The sophisticated image incorporates an engaging tension between the finished head and brush-

artist’s work. Cassatt was a strong supporter of women’s rights, and the subject of this portrait conveys her interest and belief in an individual girl’s depth, agency, and potential. It was hailed in 1998 by the art historian Griselda Pollock as one of a series of powerful confrontations between the artist and the subject of the young girl. The work is the first painting by Cassatt to enter the Museum’s collections, which include a pastel masterpiece and ten drawings and prints by the artist. Princeton holds one of the most extensive collections of historical American art of any university museum. Additions to the collections, acquired in part through an endowed fund dedicated to the purchase of American art, have recently included notable works by African American and

Filling Void Left by Cancellation of Fall Season, Ivy League Products Enjoyed Banner Season in NFL

ast Sunday evening, tight end Cameron Brate made three receptions for 26 yards to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prevail in Super Bowl LV. While Brate’s output will stand as a mere footnote in Tampa Bay’s 31-9 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs and the hoopla surrounding legendary quarterback Tom Brady earning his seventh Super Bowl title, the Harvard alum’s performance culminated a banner season for a number of Ivy League products competing and coaching in the NFL. Although COVID-19 concerns resulted in the cancellation of the 2020 Ivy sports season, players and coaches with ties to the league gave its fans plenty of highlights to savor. Stephen Carlson ’19 led the Princeton NFL contingent, seeing action in 18 games at tight end and on special teams for the Cleveland Browns as they made the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2002. Carlson made two key clutch plays down the stretch, recovering an onside kick in the waning moments of a 24-22 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers which clinched the playoff berth and then gathering in an onside kick to end a Pittsburgh rally when the teams met a week later in an AFC Wild Card contest. Over the course of the season, Carlson made one reception for 11 yards and had seven tackles on special teams. John Lovett ’19, for his part, made the Green Bay Packer practice squad as a fullback and ended up being promoted to the active roster, getting into eight games and making three carries for six yards before seeing his season end due to a knee injury. Seth DeValve ’16 was picked up by the Arizona Cardinals, getting into four games and making a tackle on special teams. Defensive lineman Caraun Reid ’14 caught on with the Jackson Jaguars practice squad and got elevated to

the active roster late in the season. He ended up playing in seven games and making five tackles. As for the coaching ranks, legendary Tiger quarterback Jason Garrett ‘89 landed on his feet after being fired as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, getting hired as the offensive coordinator of the New York Giants. In upstate New York, former Princeton assistant coach and defensive coordinator Jim Salgado served as a defensive assistant for the Buffalo Bills, helping them win their first AFC East title since 1995 and advance to conference title game for the first time since 1994. Not having a 2020 season, Princeton head coach Bob Surace filled some of that time by following members of the Tiger football family competing in the NFL. “I usually never get to watch Sunday football or Saturday football because we are coaching,” said Surace. “I am watching all of our players play and our coaches coach because we are able to do it this year. In this profession you root for your friends. When I was a kid, I was a diehard Eagles fan. As I have gone into coaching, I root for the people I am close to. So if Jason Garrett is coaching against the Eagles, I am rooting for the Giants. You root for Jimmy to have a good game when the Bills are playing. There are a lot of Princeton alums who aren’t Giants fans but everybody is rooting for Jason Garrett. There are not a lot of Browns fans but everybody is rooting for Stephen Carlson.” Ivy fans had other reasons to root for the Giants as Yale alum Patrick Graham earned high marks as defensive coordinator while former Dartmouth standout Niko Lalos got called up to the active roster for the Giants at defensive end and made some big plays as he played in five games and made an

interception and had six tackles. Ivy brains played a key role in the renaissance of the Browns. Former Harvard standout Andrew Berry arrived in late January, 2020 and helped put the squad together as the GM. Weeks earlier, former Penn star defensive back Kevin Stefanski was brought in as head coach. Last Saturday, Stefanski was named as the NFL Coach of the Year after guiding the Browns to an 11-5 regular season record and a spot on the AFC Divisional Round. In addition to Carlson, another Ivy Leaguer, Cornel alum J.C. Tretter, made a big contribution on the field for the Browns, solidifying his status as a stalwart on the club’s offensive line. Brate wasn’t the only Ivy Leaguer who got into the playoffs. Former Penn star Justin Watson joined Brate on the Buccaneers in earning a ring, playing as a reserve wide receiver. With Brate and Watson getting their crown, Ivy football has now produced 13 Super Bowl champions since 2008. Former Harvard star Anthony Firkser starred at tight end for the Tennessee Titans, making two catches for 44 years as the Titans fell to the Ravens in an AFC Wild Card contest While the 2021 Pro Bowl was contested virtually, two former Ivy stars, Harvard alums Kyle Juszczyk and Tyler Ott, made the NFC squad. Juszczyk is a star fullback for the San Francisco 49er while Ott is the long snapper for the Seattle Seahawks. The NFC posted a 32-12 victory in the event which was contested virtually within the Madden NFL 21 video game on January 31. Former Dartmouth quality coach Jennifer King made history, getting named as the assistant running backs coach for the Washington Football Team, becoming the first full-time Black female coach in the NFL. And then there is former

CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT: Members of the Princeton University football team celebrate with the Ivy League championship trophy after beating Penn 42-14 in the 2018 season finale to cap a perfect 10-0 season. While the Ivy League football season this past fall was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of former Ivy products enjoyed a banner season in the NFL. A quartet of Princeton alums, Stephen Carlson ’19, John Lovett ’19, Seth DeValve ’16, and Caraun Reid ’14, saw action this fall for NFL teams. On Sunday, Harvard alum Cameron Brate and former Penn standout Justin Watson helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in Super Bowl LV. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Harvard quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, the lushly-bearded journeyman who conjured up some more FitzMagic this fall for the Miami Dolphins. Having started for eight teams during his 16-season career, Fitzpatrick produced some big games for the Miami Dolphins before giving way to highly-touted rookie Tua Tagovailoa, a former Alabama standout. Fitzpatrick completed 183-of-267 passes for 2,091 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2020. He

R e l o c at i ng?

has now passed for 34,977 yards and 223 touchdowns in his roller-coaster NFL career. After he was benched in favor of Tagovailoa, Fitzpatrick didn’t hide his disappointment. “Obviously, we’ve talked in the past about how I’m the placeholder, and this eventually was going to happen,” said Fitzpatrick, 38, as quoted on Miami media outlets.

“It was just a matter of when, not if. It still just broke my heart yesterday and it’s a tough thing for me to hear and to have to deal with. And I’m going to do my best with it.” As for followers of Ivy football, while the cancellation of the 2020 season was tough to deal with, the exploits of league products in the NFL were heartening. —Bill Alden

PU Hockey Alum Robinson Catching Fire For Blue Jackets

Former Princeton University men’s hockey player Eric Robinson ’18 has caught fire in the last two weeks for the Columbus Blue Jackets, tallying two goals and four assists in his last eight games after being held scoreless in his first five appearances this season. Forward Robinson had a goal and an assist against the Tampa Lightning on J a n u a r y 2 3, a n a s s i s t against Florida on January 28, a goal against Chicago on January 29, an assist against Dallas on February 2, and an assist against Dallas last Thursday. The Blue Jackets, now 6-5-3, have 15 points and are tied with Tampa Bay for first in the Central Division.

Hoops Star Littlefield Named NJAIAW Woman of the Year

Princeton Universit y women’s basketball senior standout Carlie Littlefield has been named as the New Jersey Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NJAIAW) Woman of the Year. Each year NJAIAW hosts the Woman of the Year

steals in a win over George Washington. She also made an immediate impact as a freshman as her 84 assists were tied for the secondmost in a season. For Lit tlefield, the NJAIAW award means a lot. “I am truly honored to be the recipient of this year’s Woman of the Year award from the NJA I AW,” said Littlefield. “It has been a unique and challenging year for everybody, so I am grateful that the NJAIAW still made it a priority to celebrate the accomplishments of women in sport. I am so thankful for my incredible and inspiring teammates, the mentorship from my coaching staff, the unwavering support of our Princeton alumnae family, and for the opportunity to be a part of the Princeton community over the past three and a half years. My entire experience at Princeton has been extremely rewarding, as I have grown as a basketball player, as a student, and as a leader. It is an incredible feeling to receive this award, as I believe it symbolizes that I have been able to give back to an institution that has given me so much.” Princeton head coach Carla Berube was thrilled to see Littlefield earn the NJAIAW award. “Congratulations to Carlie on this great honor and her incredible career,” said Berube. “Carlie tr uly embodies our Pr inceton Athletics’ mission to Achieve, Serve, and Lead. She has left an indelible mark on our program because of her relentless work ethic, her resilient leadership, her integrity and her commitment to serving others.”

In a season-opening 12-10 win over No. 5/7 Denver last Friday, attackman Sowers chipped in a goal and three assists as the top-ranked Blue Dev ils overcame a 6-1 deficit early in the second quar ter to edge the Pioneers. Denver, which is guided by former Tiger head coach Bill Tierney, dropped to 1-1 with the setback. Two days later, attackman Robertson got into the act, tallying two goals as Duke defeated Robert Morris 1612. Sowers had three assists in the win, including a helper on one of Robertson’s scores.

While this has been a unique and challenging year due to COVID-19 issues, the organization didn’t want the accomplishments and triumphs of women in sport to go unnoticed. Although the Ivy League canceled its 2020-21 winter season due to COVID-19 concerns, star point guard Littlefield is leaving quite a legacy based on what she accomplished in her three seasons of competition for the Tigers. A 5’9 native of Waukee, Iowa, Littlefield helped Princeton win three Ivy regular season crowns and two league tournament titles. She participated in 87 games during her college career with the only game she didn’t start coming in her freshman year as the team started all of its seniors for Senior Night. Littlefield will graduate with 1,021 points, 358 rebounds, 255 assists, 135 steals, and 107 three-pointers. The two-time All-Ivy point guard is all over the Princeton record book. She will leave the program in the top ten in career three-point percentage (.371). Last season, she tied the program single-game record with 10

With Senior Fair Showing Her Offensive Prowess, Stuart Basketball Rolls Past PDS, Improves to 4-0 Even though Laila Fair committed months ago to at tend St. Joseph ’s and play for its women’s basketball program, she is not on cruise control this winter in her senior campaign for the Stuart Country Day School hoops squad. “I am not more relaxed, I am working to get better for them,” said senior forward Fair. “I am working on my offense because I am known as a defensive player. I am also trying to develop my shoot more. I have to get confident shooting it in the game.” Last Thursday, Fair displayed her all-around game, contributing 11 points and nine rebounds as Stuar t rolled to a 73-17 win over the Princeton Day School and improved to 4-0. “The main thing that we wanted to do was focus on running our offense because we need to prepare for our next five, six games against some really highly ranked local games,” said Fair. “Today we did start a little bit slow but I think we are getting into the rhythm now. So it is getting better as we move on.” The 6’1 Fair has developed a rhythm in the low post with classmate and

fellow 6-footer Ariel Jenkins, who has committed to attend Georgetown University and play for its women’s hoops program. “We both share the insideout, I try to go down low because it is easier when she gets the ball up top,” said Fair. “I feel like she is more versatile, she can really shoot all around. She is able to notice me whenever I am open. I usually drive.” Clamping down defensively on PDS, Stuart jumped out to a 41-5 halftime lead. “Today our goal was to focus on traps and the helper,” said Fair. “I think we did pretty well on the defense except when the other team fast breaks. We have to make sure that we are picking up ball and then get the rim. It is a process.” A d d i n g t h r e e blo cke d shots to go along with her nine rebounds, Fair helped key the Tartan defense. “I do take pride being able to guard any position; for the majority of the offenses, coach (Justin Leith) puts me towards the basket as a big person,” said Fair. “I am able to protect the basket when we are in 1-3-1 zone defense. I am usually in the back because the most athletic person goes in the back.”

Middle of the Night Can’t Find Your Town Topics!

Reflecting on Stuart’s 4-0 start, Fair believes the team has found a higher gear offensively. “Last year we didn’t get that many fast breaks; we weren’t like the go, go, go team,” said Fair. “Now I feel like we can really run and we have more tempo to our game so that is something I take pride in.” Stuart head coach Leith liked seeing a number of players get a run against PDS. “I told the girls, this is about some kids gaining some more confidence so we can play a little bit deeper of a bench,” said Leith, who had 11 players score in the win with senior Nia Melvin tallying 12 points, senior Aleah James adding 10, and sophomore Kayla GlasserHyman and freshman Leila Washington chipping in seven apiece. “ We were work ing on some small stuff in practice, like running our offense, seeing the floor and sharing the ball and playing for each other. It was great to see that with no fans, the girls that play more are enthusiastic on the bench. They were super excited for them. It was a total team effort.” L eit h liked t he defen sive effort he got from his players. “That was a huge point of emphasis today, really fine-tuning our man-toman,” said Leith, noting that his squad is facing a gauntlet of high-powered foes in the next week, playing at

Trenton Catholic on February 9, at Rutgers Prep on February 11, and at Cherokee High on February 13 before hosting Paul VI on February 16. “We only played man in the first quarter and we did some trapping; things that we worked on in practice the last couple of days so we can bring those into next week. We are not going to be able to play zone against Trenton Catholic or Rutgers Prep. They are both just too good of a shooting team and so is Cherokee.” Fair’s good play was another bright spot for the Tartans. “Laila is really working on fine-tuning her game,” said Leith. “She is getting out in the perimeter more, she is running the floor and she is doing a great job defensively.” Looking ahead to the challenges of the next week, Leith believes his squad will raise the level of its game. “They are all teams that are in the top 10, top five in the state, we now have the most difficult schedule in New Jersey,” said Leith. “I think we are in a good place to take a big step forward.” In Fair’s view, the Tartans are poised to step up. “We definitely have to work on boxing out even though we have two tall people, teams like Trenton Catholic have some big people,” said Fair. “I also know that we have to focus on our passing, moving the ball. What happens with our team is that we end up telegraphing our passes so it is easier for the other team to intercept it. We need to work on being more versatile.” —Bill Alden

Eugene Burroughs and his players on the Princeton Day School boys’ basketball team are going through an intense learning experience together this winter. Having coached for D-I college programs and then going on to the pro ranks in the NBA and G-League, Burroughs is making his debut at the high school level as he takes the helm of the PDS program. His players, for their part, are getting inundated with some advanced hoops concepts. “One of the phrases that I use with them is that sometimes you have to make the uncomfortable become comfortable because right now everything is so new to them,” said Burroughs. “One of my assistants said to me the other day, coach do you think we are putting too much stuff in, the guys look confused. I said you know what, I am going to have them raise their level instead of me going down.” There will be some bumps in the road as Burroughs and his players get on the same page. “I told my assistants, think about what we are doing now and where we could be next year with these kids when they have figured it out, this is how we do it,” said Burroughs. “Next year you will come in with guys who have been around and they will be flying around. They have got a feel for it and it will be a way different animal. This is the growing pain stage of doing something new. This is new to me too.” Burroughs likes the way his players are responding. “It has been going good for me, it is an adjustment getting used to the kids, their skill set, and learning what they can do,” said Burroughs. “They have been really receptive. It has been great. Our energy levels have picked up as a team. I feel the guys are learning.” The Panthers showed a lot of energy in their season opener against Pennington,

rallying from a 22-13 first quarter deficit to win 6158 in double overtime as sophomore guard Hampton Sanders led the way with 26 points. In the view of Burroughs, Sanders is poised to have a big season. “He has got good quickness, he can handle the ball, and he has been a great leader on the floor,” said Burroughs. “He is only a sophomore but he is vocal. He leads the stretch every day. It is great when your point guard is one of your leaders because he is the guy that has to put people in spots on the floor. He has been very receptive to learning, I think he has a very good basketball IQ. He is learning some new things and adjusting.” Senior Dameon Samuels is looking very good at shooting guard. “I think he is probably our best shooter; he is crafty in getting to the basket and can hit mid-range shots,” said Burroughs, who is also looking at sophomore Jake Hall, junior Hussein Zaher, and junior Nikhil Gandhi to contribute from the perimeter. “He can handle the ball. I have actually been impressed with his leadership; he is a quiet kid but I think he has made it a point to teach the players a few things on something I was teaching. He understands things. He can pick up things really quickly. He works on his game, he is a gym rat. He has a laid-back feel to him but I think he has another gear to him. When somebody is being competitive and combative, he can take it to another level.” PDS is hoping that junior Connor Topping can take things to a higher level as he gets a bigger role in the frontcourt. “He is about 6’3, maybe 6’4, he is a long, leggy kid,” said Burroughs. “He can shoot it some and can put it on the floor some. He has picked up some things I have taught here recently and put them into play. He has been doing a really good

The BEST GIFT EVER! Learn to Fly at the Princeton Flying School

job. I am thinking about him at the three (small forward) position.” Senior Josh Colon gives the Panthers a good veteran presence in the paint area. “I am playing him at the four (power forward), he is a tough kid and has a great IQ for the game,” said Burroughs. “He knows where everyone is supposed to be. He is going to talk on defense, he is going to do everything within his ability to make a play. He can make a three, he is going to make the right basketball plays. He is glue guy, he has got a little toughness, he understands everything. He is like the next vocal leader of the group; the guys know his voice, he has been in the program for a while.” At center, senior Ethan Garita is focusing on diversifying his game to become more of an all-around threat. “He is athletic, he is long, he is bouncy, and he can put the ball on the floor,” said Burroughs, who will be using junior Anthony Stewart in the low post. “I am challenging him to show that he can handle the ball, that he can dribble, hand-off, and drive it to the rim from the perimeter. I think for him to play in college and be a Division I player, he has to show that skill set. Last year he was around the basket a lot. He is a legit 6’7, if not 6’8. I think with him, his evolution is to show in college, that he may not be a guy who is around the basket most of the time.” Burroughs is looking for his players to bring a sense of urgency to the gym on a daily basis as they work through COVID-19 challenges. “We have to treat every day like it is our last day,” said Burroughs, whose team plays at the Hun School on February 11 before hosting Sinai Christian on February 16. “With this situation, you don’t know when we may have to go pause or if the season is going to end. There should never be a day in practice where we are not playing hard and having fun. I am excited for the season, the kids are excited to compete. Every day you walk into the gym, you should be smiling and happy because the alternative is that we are at home doing Zooms. It has been good.” —Bill Alden

Gaining Values from Coaching at Prep, College Level, Hamilton Excited to Take Helm of PDS Girls’ Hoops Seraphine Hamilton feels fortunate that she is getting the chance this winter to take the helm of the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball program. After stints coaching at the Peddie School, St. Andrew’s School (Del.), William Smith College, and the Newark Academy, Hamilton came to PDS in 2019 to teach English and lead the girls’ junior varsity hoops program. With previous PDS head coach Liz Loughlin deciding to step away from the program this year, Hamilton got promoted to guide the varsity squad. “It was a nice opportunity for me, it had been a very long time since I had been a head coach,” said Hamilton, 36, a 2006 graduate of William Smith College who played both soccer and basketball for the school. “I hadn’t been able to set the focus and values of a program since St. Andrews. I had really been waiting for and hoping for an opportunity to come up. I got lucky.” As Hamilton takes the reins of the program, she is looking to instill a value system for her players. “We have some pret t y

clear values; we value family and inclusivity,” said Hamilton, whose team started the season by falling 46-28 to Pennington on Wednesday and then falling 73-17 to Stuart Country Day last Thursday. “For each value there is a definition and the standards are ever changing. There are really tangible things so that if someone comes in and watches us play they should know that we care about each other; they should know that we care about the effort and things like that.” Hamilton achieved high standards as a student athlete, starring at soccer and basketball at the Peddie School before going on to play both sports at the next level for William Smith. That experience toughened her up on the field and the court as well as in the classroom. “I think the hardest challenge was physically with the amount of running for soccer and then the high level of contact for basketball,” said Hamilton. “I had gone to a high school that really prepared me for that time-management wise. I was already pr e p a r e d for t h at, yo u

certainly make sacrifices. I probably made a lot of sacrifices socially but not any that I missed or regretted. I was doing what I wanted to be doing.” Upon graduating from college, Hamilton headed back to her high school alma mater, teaching and coaching at Peddie. “I learned how to coach and teach there, I had great mentors,” said Hamilton. “The head of the English department really spent a lot of careful time with me teaching me how to be an effective teacher. I got to work with Sean Casey and Eric Gustavson and really learned to have an impact as a coach.” After earning a master’s degree in African studies at Yale in 2010, Hamilton took her experience and education to Delaware where she taught, coached, and did athletic administrative work. “I spent five years at St. Andrews, that was a really great space for me,” said Hamilton. “I was AD there for a couple of years. I learned a lot about the bigger picture. I coached the soccer and the basketball team there and we had a lot of fun and a lot of success.” Heading back to William Smith in 2015, Hamilton served as an assistant coach for its women’s basketball program. “I had a great time there, I learned a lot about coaching,” said Hamilton. “I learned a lot more about Xs and Os, I learned about recruiting, all of those sort of things as a full-time assistant. I was the interim head coach my second year while the head coach was on maternity leave for the season. It was a really great experience for me.” Getting experience at PDS last year has made the transition to guiding the Panther varsity smoother for Hamilton. “I was here for a year and I worked in the Upper School so I already know a lot of the players, either from basketball or other spaces so there was a relationship,” said Hamilton. “There are some players who I haven’t had much of a relationship with, but it didn’t feel like I started off brand, brand new.” While the start of preseason was delayed due to COV I D -19 concer ns, Hamilton and her players strengthened their relationship working together virtually. “We didn’t really get started in earnest until our winter break, they did a lot of non-verbal communicating about their workouts,” said Hamilton. “We had a schedule and the team was broken into smaller pods for competing fitness-wise, ball handling and things like that. We tried to be creative about ways to get them to show their commitment to the work but also share with each other and to start establishing our values.” After finally getting on the court on January 11, PDS has shown good progress. “It is going great, it takes a little while to settle into things,” said Hamilton. “We have a couple of shooters, we have a lot of versatility and we are able to

score in multiple ways which is nice. We are a young team so it is going to take a little time for us to work on our decision-making at that pace and things like that. We have a few freshmen who are going to be really strong for us.” In the backcourt, Hamilton is looking for freshman Adr iana Salzano, junior Maddie Nowack, and junior Elle Anhut to lead the way. “Adr ia na, who p eople know from soccer, is going to be strong for us in the backcourt,” said Hamilton. “We have Maddie returning, she is going to be strong in the backcourt. They are going to be our focus along with Elle as well.” Two all-around athletes, senior Caroline Topping, a field hockey goalie, and junior Ali Surace, a soccer and lacrosse standout, figure to see time at both guard and forward. “Caroline is pretty versatile and I would say the same for Ali she is another soccer player,” said Hamilton. “She is playing basketball even though she hasn’t been on the squad in high school. She decided to come out this season and has been a really nice gift for us.” In the low post, sophomore Kirsten Ruf, freshman Mia Hartman, and senior Anna-Marie Zhang should all make an impact. “Ruf is down there; we also have a freshman Mia who is really strong,” said Hamilton. “She is pretty versatile, she has a lot of power under the basket but she can also step out and has a pretty smooth shot. Anna-Marie will also be playing there.” While the 2021 schedule is limited due to COVID-19 concerns, Hamilton believes she can lay a foundation this winter for future success. “It is making the most out of every day, we have to be flexible because we are going to end up losing games to cancellations,” said Hamilton, whose team’s next scheduled game is at the Hun School on February 18. “I think this season for me is the measure of the growth that we have and just getting as much experience that we can at a high pace. Our practices are at a very high pace. I try to keep them moving, moving, moving so they can work on those adjustments and when we step out next season, we will be able to have our freshmen playing like sophomores, even though they are having this abbreviated season.” But no matter what happens this season, Hamilton wants her players to savor their opportunity to simply be on the court. “I always want players to not take things for granted and this is one of those seasons where it feels more tangible for them,” said Hamilton. “We have coaches on our coaching staff who can’t be in the gym because they work in the lower school and we are not crossing divisions. William Smith doesn’t have a season. We are just really lucky right now that we are able to be out there. I am trying to get them to appreciate being there and valuing their time there and thinking about having this growth mindset. It is a great opportunity for us.” —Bill Alden

Despite Limited Schedule Due to COVID-19 Concerns, Hun Girls’ Hoops Enthusiastic About 2021 Campaign Dealing with COVID-19 concerns and strict protocols hasn’t dampened interest around the Hun School girls’ basketball program. “The surprising thing is that this is the most girls I have ever had come out,” said Hun head coach Bill H ol u p, n ot i n g t h at t h e team’s December practices were held outdoors on the school’s tennis courts. “I think there were about 30 girls who came out originally even under the circumstances of being outside in the cold and ever ything. That was very encouraging.” In mid-January, the Raiders finally got to practice in their gym and were thrilled to work indoors. “They were excited, they are still wearing masks,” said Holup. “It is such a fun group and they are excited to be together; together but separate.” Hun is returning two key performers in senior guards Izzy Lalo and Kennedy Jardine, who helped Hun go 18-7 and advance to the state Prep A final last year. “This will be Izzy’s second year being healthy ; when she first came to us two years ago she had an injury and missed the entire season,” said Holup, whose team started its 2021 campaign by losing 76-58 to the Blair Academy last Monday. “Now that Kennedy and her have played together for an entire season, they know each other very well. They live in the dorms, they get along great. They can both handle the ball, they both can shoot and both of them can create. We are expecting a lot from both of them.” Holup is expecting junior Kiera Hahn to provide some gritty work at guard. “This is her third year w it h us being a varsit y member, she does a lot of the little things,” said Holup, who will also be using a trio of freshman Aly Leva,

Michaela Pestano, and Anna Schweer along with junior Lily L’Oiseau in the backcourt. “She will draw the charges, get those loose balls and box out against anybody. She does all those things that don’t always show up in the box scores.” At forward, sophomore Sasha Moise is looking to build on a solid debut campaign. “Sasha started probably about half the games last year,” said Holup, noting that sophomore Priscilla Stelmach is also returning in the frontcourt. “When we had some other players out with injuries, Sasha stepped in. When she didn’t start, she was usually the first person in the game off the bench.” Post- graduate Kennedy Wilburn should step in and make an impact in the paint for Hun. “Kennedy is coming from Cherokee High in South Jersey, they are a solid team,” said Holup, whose front court unit will also include freshman Lexi Kobryn. “She will give us good size and experience in the post area. Her basketball IQ is terrific. Her athleticism is great as is her attitude.” While COVID-19 concerns will limit Hun’s schedule this winter, Holup believes his players will show a great attitude in dealing with those challenges. “T hey are mak ing t he most out of every day, we are happy that we are having a season,” said Holup, whose team is slated to play at Life Center Academy on February 12. “We will do what we can; we will play some of those local private schools multiple times. It is nice to have some good numbers and talented kids who seem pretty committed to it, even under the circumstances.” —Bill Alden

My wife Fran’s health was declining and even with daily support from a caregiver, it all got to be too much for me to handle. We realized we needed to make a change. Maplewood was the best community in the area and I don’t say that lightly. Before coming here, I researched 12 other communities but they just didn’t measure up. Here, Fran and I are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The people are amazing. The staff is very attentive and caring. We have everything we could possibly need – loving friends, diverse activities and exceptional care. We couldn’t be happier or more in love!” — Joe, Resident *Testimonial and photos are a representation of Maplewood at Princeton based on other Maplewood communities.

Full Range of Expert Computer Services Available From Technician X Professionals

he mysteries of cyberspace can be solved at Technician X! How is your little corner of this miraculous, mystifying, magical, but often frustrating, world? Is your computer up to snuff? Or is it too slow, unreliable? Does it ever crash? Or — really bad news — suffer from a virus? How about the printer? Erratic, quirky? And then, the smartphone. All systems go — or not?

IT’S NEW To Us

If any of the above resonates with you, help is at hand. Computer Network Tech n icia n X , lo c ate d in the Village Shoppes at Montgomery center at 1378 Route 206 South in Skillman, has been helping customers update, repair, and maintain existing computers, as well as buy new or refurbished models, for more than 20 years. O w ners Chr is and A llison Rush and their staff of professional technicians can answer questions, solve problems, set up a new computer network for businesses and residences, and provide comprehensive computer service. B u i l d i n g relat ion s h ip s and standing behind their service is very important to the experts at Technician X. They can help you in your

house or office, in their service center, or remotely via the web. They service all major brands, including desktop, laptop, tablets, and Android/iPhones. Hardware and software diagnostics, custom computer builds, data backup and recovery, wireless network setup and upgrade, server and workstation management, remote server and workstation monitoring, network design and deployment, virus/malware/ransomware removal and protection, and printer setup and repair are among the many services available. Expert technician Chris Rush is often out on the road helping both small businesses and residential clients. He enjoys all aspects of his work, and is very involved in helping people understand the ever-changing world of technology. “Business projects with lots of different moving pieces are especially interesting because it is always rewarding to watch ever y thing come together,” he explains. “When I can help a business successfully navigate a difficult transition or project, it gives me great satisfaction.” Home Projects Home projects have been increasingly important during the pandemic, he adds, although people were beginning to work from home in larger numbers even before the outbreak of the virus. “In the beginning of last year, as of f ices clos ed, and everyone worked and lear ned from home, the

numbers of home visits by percentage of our jobs skyrocketed. I do anticipate that to decrease a bit as offices open up again this year and next; however, I’m not sure the same balance will ever come back.” Technician X experts are always just a phone call away to answer questions for all customers, including for those who may not be technologically savvy, reports Allison Rush, who manages the business. “We are always here for people. Older customers don’t always have their children or grandchildren nearby to help them, and we want to be there for them. We are definitely here to help with any problem, big or small. I really enjoy helping people to learn and understand the world of technology.” This can also include going beyond the confines of Technician X, she points out. “I participate in meetings with Sypek Center, a technical school in Mercer County that offers a variety of courses including computer classes, both in person and virtually. Sypek is looking to further their educational system in computer repair and has been working with companies to make sure they are teaching students needed skills.” Major Focus Technician X offers sales of both new and refurbished major computer brands, and is also interested in helping customers maintain their existing computers in good

HIGH TECH: “We offer expert computer service and repair but we’re not here just to fix computers,” explain Chris and Allison Rush, the husband and wife team who own Technician X. “First and foremost, we are here to help people. We are primarily a customer-focused business.” Shown is a statue of Albert Einstein seated in front of the Technician X location. r u n n ing order, explains Chris. “While there comes a time that a computer or piece of equipment is so old that it becomes obsolete or not worth repairing, we prefer to try to keep equipment running as long as possible. As such, a major focus of our work is to service and keep your current equipment running optimally.” That can include a maintenance program, adds Allison. “This is important. You want to be sure that everything is working properly, and that there are no virus problems. Cyberattacks are out there, and it is important to have an antivirus built into the operating system.” Maintenance checks are a good idea every six to 12 months, depending on the degree of computer usage. This can be done in the service center, at the customer’s location, or remotely, she explains. The world of technology changes and advances all the time, and the experts at Technician X continually keep up-to-date with ongoing education. Multiple Devices Chris explains that among the new technological advances, the Cloud is a very big “player” in both the business and residential world. “The Cloud means that your information, whatever it happens to be (email, data files, music, pictures, etc.) is stored on a computer somewhere on the internet, and you access it through the internet.

For All Your Computer Service Needs

“This differs from the way things were histor ically, where almost ever y thing was stored only on your computer, and if it wasn’t on your computer, you had no easy way of accessing it. “Using the Cloud increases convenience by allowing us to synchronize and access our data from multiple devices wherever we are in the world, and protects us from losing data because we are trusting tech companies to keep our data safe for us.” Among the other services Technician X provides are electronic recycling (except for older CRT monitors ), and iPhone screens and battery replacement. Assorted computer accessories, such as computer cables, flash drives, external hard drives, printer cartridges, computer paper, and various offices supplies, are all available. Designated as “essential,” Technician X has remained open throughout the virus. All safety precautions remain in place and are carefully controlled. Ma ny c u s tom er s, w ho are all ages and levels of computer knowledge, are loyal supporters of Technician X and come from the Princeton-Skillman area and beyond. “We are so glad to have our longtime customers,” says Allison, “and we are also very happy to be getting new ones all the time. I enjoy meeting them and spending time getting to know them.”

Technological Adventure As they look ahead, Chris and Allison Rush know that customer service and customer satisfaction remain their number one priority, as the technological adventure continues. They also appreciate their good fortune to be in a business, that while technologically driven, allows them to keep their bricks and mortar establishment thriving. “We feel ver y lucky to be positioned in an industry that has largely weathered the pandemic because we have been in demand,” points out Chris. “Computers and technology are more important than ever in this COVID world, and we feel very fortunate to be able to provide a valuable service to the community that has filled a need and allowed us to survive. “I am looking forward to meeting new challenges and adapting to the ever-shifting landscape,” he continues. “Business and home needs will undoubtedly continue to change as time goes on, and learning about emerging technologies and how to implement them to improve the lives of our customers is exciting and motivates me.” echnician X is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (609) 681-1120.

Russell T. Tornrose R u s s e l l T. To r n r o s e , (Russ), of Bethel, ME, died at age 80 on January 21, 2021 at Bella Point Nursing Home in Bridgton, ME. The cause of Russ’s death was complications from dementia, from which he had suffered during his later years. Russ was known in several communities in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts as a respected teacher and school principal. Russ was born in New York City to William and Marie Tornrose on May 11, 1940. The majority of his development years were in Salisbury, MA. He was a 1958 graduate of Governor Dummer Academy (now Governors Academy) in South Byfield, MA. His career there was marked by both academic and athletic success. He captained both Football, and Track, in which he held school records. He graduated with honors as a member of the Cum Laude Society. At graduation, Russ was awarded the Morse Flag, the Academy’s highest honor, given to the one senior who excelled most widely. After graduation Russ entered as a freshman at Princeton University in the fall of 1958. Russ continued with athletics at Princeton where he played tackle on the varsity football team, and threw

both the shotput and the discus on the track team. Russ was a member of Tiger Inn. He graduated in the Class of ‘65. Russ was married before his senior year to Carol Keeney of Short Hills, NJ. They lived off campus during Russ’s senior year at Princeton, in nearby Hightstown, NJ. Carol and Russ embarked on the adventure of a lifetime after graduation when Russ was offered a position teaching in the American School in Karachi, Pakistan. Carol was employed at the school as well. On occasion, Russ was invited to practice and compete with the Pakistani national track team, where he broke the national record in the discus, and held the record for several years thereafter. At the conclusion of their years in Pakistan, Russ and Carol undertook a wide ranging trip of several months through central Asia, India, and Europe, exploring widely at a time when travel in Asian frontier regions was accessible. On their return to the United States, Russ and Carol located in E xeter, NH, where Russ became a teacher and coach at the Emerson School, a private school in Exeter. Tragically, the school was the site of Carol’s sudden death from an aneurism. Recovery from her death was extremely difficult for Russ, a very private individual. Embarking on a new life, Russ began what would become his career as a teacher and coach in public school systems in Maine and Massachusetts. Public school education became a passion of Russ’s, one in which he was honored by many of his

peers, and in the towns that he served. In ever y place that he taught, a nd t here were many, Russ was revered both as a teacher, and later as a principal, and became, always, extremely popular, both among facult y and students, as well. Teaching was much more than a career for Russ; it was a deep passion. He had strong views on education and how it should serve. As a friend and teaching colleague said of him, “his teaching sojourn took place in an incredible array of high-achieving schools. What set him apart? Russ was a revered leader with a passion for the classroom and an inexhaustible intellectual drive to understand teaching. He helped transform Wayland Junior High and many other schools in his career.” During that long career, Russ intentionally served as both teacher and principal. As another friend and colleague said of him, “Russ believed that to be an effective principal you needed to periodically get back into the classroom as a teacher — that was how he always explained his journey in education and his zig-zagging career.” Russ also pursued his interest in education academically, garnering a Master’s degree at University of New Hampshire, and in his later years completed the course work for his Doctorate, although health issues prevented the completion of his dissertation. Russ completed his full time public high school education career as the principal at Noble High School a new high school in Maine, where he helped to shepherd

the design and construction of this large new school. The school won a number of architectural awards, and became known throughout the state of Maine. After retirement, Russ returned to living in Maine, near Portland. But education called again. At the request of the school superintendent, Russ returned to a Principal’s role in Andover, Maine, not far from where he eventually moved, in the town of Bethel. After his “second” retirement, Russ continued to teach in Community College, a new field for him, where he discovered his own budding talents in that environment too. Russ was clearly born to teach, and to excel at it. After settling in Bethel, Russ became active again in the Episcopal Church at Christ Church in nearby Norway, ME. He was active there, serving on the vestry and ultimately as the Senior Warden of the parish. Russell will be buried in Exeter, NH, where both Marie Tornrose, his mother, and Carol Tornrose, wife of his early years, rest. He is survived by his sister Carole of Fort Worth, Texas, and by a number of nieces and nephews in Texas, Virginia, and California. His family and his many friends will miss his lively intellect, charming sense of humor, wide ranging knowledge about so many things, and his warm and generous presence. Arrangements are under the care of Chandler Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 45 Main Street, South Paris. Online condolences may be shared with his family at www. chandlerfunerals.com.

Obituaries

Press Magazine and Plate Magazine. His avant-garde paintings are eye-catching, engaging, and one-of-kind. Many of John’s personal art pieces are understated and beautiful. John was a director of Pharos Studios in Princeton. He also created art designs for Gertrude Hawks Chocolates. G ertrude Hawks Smidgens are his most famous chocolate design. John was an incredible talent, and he enjoyed the process of creating art as much as he enjoyed his finished products. John’s life was dedicated to his family and his many friends. He deeply loved Carol and his children, Stephen and Krista. His grandchildren were his greatest joy. He had a huge heart and was generous with his time helping as many people as possible during his lifetime. He appreciated and loved his friends and extended family. John was advent urous and smart. He could create amazing art using any medium. He could fix things, design things, create short films, and use tech at a very high level. He was funny, and he could easily make his friends and family laugh. John Nebesney was more than a brilliant artist. He was a loving family man, an awesome grandfather, a mentor, an inspiration, and a caring friend. He will be missed.

Frances Baum Frances Baum, of Laguna Woods, CA, died on January 30, 2021 after a long illness with her family at her side. Fran was born in Princeton, NJ, to parents Paul and Eunice Urken. She graduated from Syracuse University with a BA in religion and then earned a master’s degree from Columbia University Teacher’s College in New York City. She taught elementary school for many years. As a young single

woman she traveled to Italy, enjoyed Manhattan folk music clubs, and drove an MG convertible. She married Burton Baum, a chemist, in Princeton, in 1965. It only rained one day that summer, the day of their outdoor wedding, but they had a wonderful marriage. Rain turned to snow when they later moved to Mendota Heights, MN, and they finally came to California to enjoy the sunshine, retiring in Laguna Woods Village in 2004. Fran had a remarkable number of friends. She kept in touch w ith childhood friends throughout her lifetime, and added many more through the years. Fran had a great variety of interests. She especially loved cooking and made incredible meals for her family and friends. She also enjoyed bridge, gardening, dancing, reading, the arts, travel, and was active in various Jewish women’s organizations. At Laguna Woods Village, she became a clown, named Copy Cat, sang with the Harmonaires, danced with t he Rock-n - Rollers, and played with the Bridge Club. She was an active member of the National Council of Jewish Women and the Reform Temple, as well as a strong supporter of South County Outreach. Fran leaves her loving husband Burton, after 55 years of marriage, her son Paul of San Francisco, CA, her daughter Julie of St. Paul, MN, her brothers Arnold Urken of Washington, DC, and Irv Urken of Princeton, NJ, and six nieces and nephews. Funeral services and burial were private at Beth Israel Cemetery in Woodbridge, NJ. A virtual memorial service is being planned for a later date. Contributions in her memory may be made to South County Outreach, the Myositis Association (myositis.org), or to a charity of the donor’s choice. To send condolences to the family visit Fran’s obituary page at OrlandsMemorialChapel.com.

Rita Mandel Kravitz Rita Mandel Kravitz, 93, of Pennington, New Jersey, passed away on Monday, February 8, 2021, at her home. Born in Brooklyn, New York, she was a longtime Trenton area resident. Mrs. Kravitz had been a resident of Pennington since 1995. She was a congregant of Har Sinai Temple for over 60 years, and a volunteer at Capital Healthcare Systems and its auxiliaries in Mercer and Hopewell for over 30 years. Wife of the late William Krav it z, Mrs. Krav it z is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Shelley and Lawrence Gordon of Middletown, NJ, her son and daughter-in-law Arthur and Anne Eby of Point Pleasant, NJ, and grandchildren Michael Gordon and Robyn and Nathan Uri. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, funeral services and burial were private at Ewing Cemetery. The period of mourning will be private. The family respectfully requests any memorial contributions be made to a charity of the donor’s choice. To send condolences to the family visit Orlands MemorialChapel.com.

Ida M. McHugh I d a M . M c H u g h , 9 6, passed away January 31, 2021, at Monroe Village, Monroe Township, NJ. Born and raised in Princeton, NJ, Ida was a loving wife and mother, a loyal friend, and a ”fixture” in the Princeton community. A graduate of Princeton High School, she met her h u s b a n d , E l m e r “ I g g y” McHugh, at the Castania Dair y ( now Pj’s Pancake Hou s e ) , w h ere t h e t wo worked side by side flipping burgers and whipping up milkshakes. They raised two children, Lawrence and Sharon, and enjoyed a long and colorful life together, dining often with friends at The Annex and Conte’s, vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and attending sporting and community events. She rarely missed a Princeton University football game and was a lifelong New York Yankees and Green Bay Packers fan. A caterer by profession, known for her delectable dishes, Ida was proudly Irish. She celebrated her Celtic heritage through years of charitable giving and service to organizations close to her heart; among them, the Princeton Fire Company, the American Legion Post 76, the Knights of Columbus, and St. Paul’s Catholic Church. Her “Irishness” was always ever present; it was evidenced by her remarkable strength to weather tragedies and bad news with grace and optimism, her “joie de vivre” and big heart, and in her fearlessness. Throughout her life she exhibited an adventurous and pioneering spirit — she earned a pilot’s license in her 20s, was known to swim long stretches in the Delaware River Canal, and worked well into her 70s, remaining independent and active into her 90s. Ida was predeceased by her parents, Raymond and Nellie Smith, her lov ing husband Elmer L. “Iggy” M c H u g h, h e r s on L aw rence “Larry” McHugh, her brother Leroy, and sister Rita. She is survived by her daughter Sharon A. McHugh and son-in-law, Walter V. Maykowskyj of Princeton and three nephews, Stanley “Pete” Sibert of Hamilton, NJ, Joseph O’Gorman and wife Donna of Trenton, NJ, and Thomas Witt and wife Linda of Florida. Due to t he pandem ic, graveside services and burial at Princeton Cemetery are private. A memorial service will be scheduled for a later date. Arrangements are being handled by The Kimble Funeral Home, Princeton, NJ. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Princeton Fire Department, 363 Witherspoon Street, Princeton, NJ 08540.

Alice E. Kent A lice E . Kent, 79, of Hamilton Square, NJ, died of complications from COVID-19 on January 15th, 2021. Alice was born to Charles and Betty Griffith in Trenton and graduated from Trenton High School. She was the General Manager at Nelson Glass Company in Princeton for 55 years, retiring in 2019. She endeared herself to many coworkers, neighbors, and customers through the years watching Princeton grow and change. Starting out in 1964 with her beehive hairdo and high-heeled shoes, and ending with her orange spiked hair, hip ’60s clothing, and enough jewelry to sink a ship, she was truly a character about town. Everyone knew Alice. Many became friends and many depended on her for her expertise and knowledge. She was sweet and kind, all 4’10, 100 pounds of her. She had a great smile and giggle. On the phone, she sounded like a teenager but had a friendly way of commanding respect. In a six month period in 2001 Alice lost both her only child, daughter Dawn D’Angelo (age 35), and her husband Jim. Her extended family at Nelson Glass, along with her beloved kitties and close friends, sustained her through this difficult time. She will be sorely missed by her Nelson Glass family, especially Robbie Nelson. In the last 10 years of her life, Alice enjoyed listening and dancing to area rock bands. Together with her dear friend Paul Tyler, she was a fixture and supporter of many bands who (again) all knew Alice and looked forward to a hello kiss from her as she entered the club. They were often the first on the dance floor urging others to follow. Again, she was the character about town. Everyone knew Alice. She is sur vived by her brother Terr y Griffith of Hamilton; two sisters, Betty Pettis of New Hampshire and Pat Cooper of Morrisville, PA; Michael, her godson; a special niece Donna who was her hairdresser; many nieces and nephews; her beloved Paul Tyler; and her special cat Taz, who was the other man in her life. A cremation service was held privately. Several memorials will be scheduled at a later date. Donations may be made in Alice’s name to SAVE — A Friend to Homeless Animals, 1010 Route 601, Skillman, NJ 08558 or to your local animal shelter.

O: (215) 852-5500 | M: (610) 428-4885 art@addisonwolfe.com Getting to know me … I guess that when I was in my childhood, the first makings of a realtor developed. My father was a contractor and nothing to me was more exciting than visiting a new home under construction and the smell of pine. However, life took a different turn and I started a 30-year career teaching high school English in the New York School System. While I graded compositions and listened to Richard the III rant about a “kingdom for a horse,” I reflected on my past and knew that salesmanship needed to be in my future. Thus, my real estate career began and somehow I managed to juggle my educational career with the world of “metes and bounds.” During this time I rose to the No. 2 position in a prominent real estate firm in Bucks County and by the time I retired, I had risen to the No. 1 sales position in a company of 80 agents. Today, I am a partner in Addison Wolfe Real Estate, an agency that claims 50 fellow realtors on its roster and an impressively large market share for the Center City to Bucks County to Lehigh Valley demographics. I would have to say that part of my success is my years in education … working with daily

The Air of a European Estate One Hour from NYC 176 Parkside Drive, Princeton To pass through the iron gates into the stone courtyard is to be swept to another time and place. To share a meal beneath the canopy of sycamores beside the trickling fountain is simply magical. It’s hard to believe such a majestic structure started life 120 years ago as a dairy barn, one of 4 Tudor brick outbuildings on the Drumthwacket Estate. Today, clean lines and modern finishes, like custom iron staircases and a state-of-the-art Boffi kitchen, are just the right counterpoint to authentic barn doors and wood beams rising up to meet a 26-ft ceiling. The core of the house is open and dramatic with a huge fireplace anchoring one side. The kitchen, seamlessly clad in walnut, was designed with a chef’s movements in mind. A mezzanine library separates the private spaces of the top floor: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a sitting/family room. Some may choose to reserve this level as an all-encompassing owner’s suite, especially with 3 more bedrooms located in the just completed East wing, an inventive space that can be as integrated or separate as you’d like with just the swing of a door. A mudroom, 2 clever dorm-style baths, laundry room and loft make this airy wing full-service. The opposite wing serves a gym, media room and more. Don’t miss the wine cellar, al fresco Moroccan room or the workshop. With the slate roof restored and brick repointed under current ownership, there’s nothing to do, except maybe add a pool to the 2+ acre property. $3,950,000

Peaceful Views, Plentiful Space, Perfect Locale 51 Grasmere Way, Princeton Located in a leafy enclave just off of Princeton’s most picturesque winding road, close to a selection of renowned schools, sports fields and charming Pretty Brook Tennis Club, this all brick house has no shortage of space or style. Under a brand new roof, every room is airy and generous in scale beginning with the foyer, where custom iron balusters line the wide hardwood staircase. Ahead, the dining room has French doors to an amazing stone terrace running the length of the house, complete with a built-in spa. A handsomely detailed study crowned with a barrel vaulted ceiling was added off the living room offering a perfect work-from-home situation. In the well-planned kitchen, double sinks overlook a meadow alive with the sights and sounds of nature. A sunroom adjoining the two-story family room may be the most relaxing spot to savor the surroundings. The 4/5-bedroom floor plan offers ultimate flexibility with a main level suite, an exceptionally private suite atop the back stairs and a luxurious upstairs suite with a marble-tiled bathroom. Even the finely finished basement is full of useful space. $2,185,000

“It all comes down to a Buyer, a Seller, and ROXANNE GENNARI” — NY Times “Roxanne listed and found a buyer very soon after and we got our asking price. Who could ask for more? She also found us a new home and we are forever grateful. Choosing her was the best decision we made. Thank you, Roxanne.” — Bob & Mary G “Roxanne is extremely knowledgeable about the market here in Mercer County, and has actually sold several houses in my neighborhood. She gave us invaluable advice in terms of correctly pricing our house, and she and her colleagues made the listing and house showing process incredibly manageable.” — Nishant M “I have been buying and selling real estate for a few years now, and Roxanne’s performance, communication, attention to detail and all-around customer service made it one of the smoothest sale transactions I have ever experienced. Her integrity and professionalism is impeccable. I don’t think there is a better agent in the industry.” — Sandeep P “Roxanne was a great help in finding a property within my budget and guiding me through the closing. She provided great references for attorneys, property inspection and remediation services and it was readily apparent that she worked with them often and was well regarded by them. We met some resistance from the seller and their agent(S), but Roxanne was a persistent advocate and helped me power through to the end. I will absolutely engage Roxanne again when it comes time for my next real estate transaction.” — Lisa S

609-921-2299 LET’S TALK REAL ESTATE... CHOOSING A SMART DOORBELL The smart doorbell is one of the most popular smart home devices on the market today. While features often vary depending on the brand, basically a smart doorbell is an internet -connected device that is equipped with a video camera. When someone arrives at your doorstep, the smart doorbell alerts your smartphone or other device and allows you to see and interact with your visitor, even if you’re not at home. Smart doorbells offer both home security and convenience. The remote video and audio features are especially useful in this time of social distancing. For example, if you’re receiving a delivery, you can ask questions or provide instructions without opening the door. When choosing a smart doorbell, some of the options or features you may want to consider include: Wide-angle view camera Night vision capability Motion detection Battery-powered vs hard-wired Cloud storage of video recordings for later view App and smart device support from Alexa or Google

Even the most budget-friendly options include some of these features, and many are easy to install. There are also models with more advanced features such as voice recognition and extra security sensors.
