Princeton Dems Endorse Freda for Mayor, Cohen And Fraga for Council It was virtual democracy in action Sunday evening as the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) went online with its forum for mayoral and Princeton Council candidates and its presidential straw poll.

Commentary was live streamed and more than 200 participated in the forum, endorsing Council incumbents David Cohen with 174 votes (82 percent) and Leticia Fraga with 169 votes (80 percent), while challenger Dina Shaw finished third with 63 votes (30 percent).

In the race for the mayoral nomination Mark Freda, running unopposed, won the PCDO endorsement with 174 votes (82 percent), with 37 PCDO members (18 percent) voting for no endorsement.

In a straw poll on the race for Democratic presidential nominee, PCDO members supported Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders by a 183-21 margin.

“These are extraordinary times,” said PCDO President Jean Durbin in introducing the event and explaining the process of canceling the traditional gathering and moving the PCDO’s first virtual endorsement vote online. “It’s exciting tonight for us to test this technology.”

The PCDO Executive Board brainstormed many different ways to hold the event, initially planning to livestream the forum with a small audience followed by the option of an in-person or a virtual vote.

As the COVID-19 pandemic evolved, the PCDO decided to use Zoom for the forum participants and then livestream it through YouTube to the public. The PCDO membership needed only an email address and an internet connection or a smartphone.

The PCDO set up an email address to receive questions for the candidates before and during the event. “Bill Schofield, our publicity and website chair, was really our techno guru, with support from Chris Fistonich,” Durbin said. “Owen O’Donnell, our treasurer, also helped a lot. It was a real team effort. The candidates themselves were extraordinarily patient and good natured. Despite the unfortunate circumstances that caused us to hold a virtual forum and vote, I know we all are proud of how we came together as a community to get it done.”

Coronavirus Pandemic Continues to Grow As the number of coronavirus cases grows rapidly throughout the state and the nation, officials are taking unprecedented measures — restrictions, cancellations, closures—to help combat the spread of COVID-19.

There were 267 confirmed cases in New Jersey as of Tuesday afternoon, and Governor Phil Murphy announced late Monday that a third New Jersey resident, a man in his 90s at Hackensack University Medical Center, had died from the disease.

Murphy has also announced the closure of all schools, movie theaters, indoor malls, amusement parks, casinos, gyms, nightclubs, and racetracks. He has also banned dining in at restaurants and gatherings of more than 50 people, and he has recommended a statewide curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. except for emergencies and essential travel.

Locally, the Princeton Health Department announced on Sunday the second, third, and fourth confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Princeton. The first Princeton case, announced Friday, March 13, was a Princeton University staff member. The other three cases were members of one family. All four attended a February 29 social gathering.

Two people from Boston, who also

attended the February 29 gathering, returned to Boston, experienced symptoms and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.

The Health Department has been seeking to identify those exposed and to encourage isolation of those who may be at risk of contact with these individuals.

Three Pennsylvania residents and two residents of South Brunswick, who also attended the party, have subsequently tested positive. A total of three Princeton University staff members have

tested positive and remain in self-isolation, according to a University announcement Tuesday. It is not clear how many of those are Princeton residents.

According to the March 15 Health Department announcement, “All identified cases in Princeton have so far been directly associated with this particular event.

However as several of the persons involved were in the community prior to being requested to isolate, we must presume some level of community exposure has Continued on Page 9

Friends and Colleagues of Dorothy Mullen Remember Her As a Passionate Innovator Dorothy Smith Mullen, a well known local environmental, food, and health care activist, died of metastasized lung cancer in hospice care at her Princeton home on March 15. She was 64.

An innovator in the field of healing through healthy eating and home-grown produce, Mullen was a founder of the Princeton School Gardens Cooperative and the nonprofit Suppers Program, geared toward building a community of people whose health problems related to the dangers of processed food.

“There is only one Dorothy Mullen. She

was a major leader in the community, advocating for people’s health and wellbeing,” said Adrian Hyde, the former executive director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA). “She was very sincere and selfless in her efforts.

She was a very close friend of ours, and a lot of plantings from her garden are now at our farm.”

Mullen’s garden on Patton Avenue provided plantings to schools and other private gardens throughout the community. Passersby found scissors and signs Continued on Page 8

Music, Dance Lessons Continue Via Technology During Shutdown The coronavirus has resulted in the temporar y shuttering of schools, music studios, and dance schools.

But many area teachers are not about to let their students fall behind. Using Skype, Zoom, and other technology, they are continuing lessons and keeping their students engaged.

Princeton Dance and Theater has been filming classes

this week to share with students on the studio’s YouTube channel. On Wednesday, the school plans to present a live class from its studio in Forrestal Village, with four siblings from the Jorgensen family, aged 1122, all of whom are students at the school.

“This will be something students can do in their living rooms or kitchens, holding onto a chair as a barre,” Risa Kaplowitz, director of the school, said on Monday.

“I scheduled the first class within 12 hours of deciding we’d have to close. We need to keep our students dancing. And I am committed to paying my teachers. So we’re just keeping it going, virtually.”

At the Martin Center for Dance in Lawrence Township, Douglas Martin held an advanced ballet class Monday via Skype. It went well, and he plans to continue.

“I have a number of totally dedicated dancers who were upset about not taking class, so we put this together,” he said on Tuesday. “I’ll keep expanding it to whatever point we get to.”

S e ve n - ye a r - ol d A lb e r t Zhou thinks taking cello lessons via Skype is “kind of cool,” he said on Tuesday. “I like it better.” His mother Qiwei He said that Albert especially likes seeing his teacher Laurie Cascante (this writer’s sister) on the television screen. “That way, it’s not just on the Ipad, and he can directly talk with her. I think he’s quite excited to see Miss Laurie on the screen.”

Cascante said she enjoys teaching via technology because it forces her to be more articulate. “I think when this crisis is over, my in-person teaching will strengthen as a result,” she said.

M a rk J oh n s ton e, w h o teaches classical guitar at Westminster Conservatory, said he decided to hold classes via Skype when one of his students canceled due to the COVID-19 situation.

“I thought, either I watch all the rest of my students cancel, or do it this way,” he said. “Overwhelmingly, my students have agreed to do it. It kind of makes sense because if you can, you want to keep the lessons going.”

Though Johnstone would rather be giving guitar in-

str uction the traditional way, he has adapted out of necessity. “It’s not my preferred way of teaching,” he said. “Phones are designed for one-way communication.

There’s a delay, and the sound quality isn’t all that great. And part of my teaching is to play along with my students. Essentially, that’s what music is — playing together, making sound at the same time. So it’s kind of exhausting, because a lot of things I usually convey just by playing now take a lot of words to describe.”

As the crisis continues, local arts organizations are continuing to find ways to keep audiences engaged.

“While we miss sharing live performances with you and are working on ways to remotely connect you with our artists and provide other curated experiences, we wanted to share an initial list of online live performances that you may enjoy in the meantime,” the email to subscribers reads. “We will continue to add to this list in the coming weeks on our website, so if you stumble upon other resources, please send them our way.”

While group classes and ensembles are off limits for now, local teachers of music and dance are continuing their efforts with individual students. Some are trying to keep the mood light.

“I inject humor into my teaching quite a bit, and in this format it’s a lot of fun,” said Cascante. “For example, when I want to ack nowledge a job well done by the student, we ‘tap’ bows by tapping our respective screens. It looks like our bows are going to pierce through our computers and reach other. That always gets a laugh. And if it’s getting toward the end of the lesson and I can tell the student has had enough, we finish by playing a ‘duet.’ I put duet in quotations, because our audios are never synchronized. So we play the duet and then we laugh.

It’s a good way to end the lesson. They all need to laugh, especially now.”

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has made it necessary to prepare and plan for a variety of outcomes. Mercer County election officials are taking a lead to ensure a successful Primary Election.

In light of this, and for any voter at risk or concerned about visiting populated places on Election Day, Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello strongly suggests residents apply for a Vote by Mail ballot for the 2020 Primary Election, to be held on June 2.

Download an application at nj.gov/state/elections/voteby-mail.shtml or call (609) 989-6494 to request an application by mail for voting in June, November, or in all future elections. The earliest ballots for the Primary Election will be mailed out by mid-April.

The last day to for the County Clerk’s office to receive a vote-by-mail application by mail in time for the primary election is May 26. Votes will be counted as long as they are postmarked by Election Day and received no later than 48 hours after the polls close on June 2.

The Clerk’s office would like to remind residents that their goal as Mercer election officials is to ensure that the democratic process continues uninterrupted and that voters’ voices be heard and recorded.

“As a comedian I usually have shows, and people don’t want to be around public places, especially when it comes to laughing.

If you’re going to laugh you’re going to cough, too. Laughter should never be a life or death situation.”

—Louis Deraville, Princeton

“It is my senior year and my on-campus presence is coming to an end sooner than expected. I will be returning home to Salt Lake City and doing classes remotely. It will be a very unique rest of the semester. On the bright side, I’ll be able to spend time in the mountains. I think the Princeton class has been able to put things in perspective and realize this is not just for the greater good for our health, but for everyone’s health and society’s health. I think people are being mature about it.”

inviting them to sample her produce. She lined her sidewalks with pots of herbs and divided perennials with notes urging people to help themselves to the plants.

Mullen held lunch and dinner meetings at her home among people whose physical and mental health problems were caused or exacerbated by processed food and a lack of health-focused social connections. That led her to earn a master’s degree in counseling at The College of New Jersey. The meetings developed into The Suppers Programs, which holds hundreds of gatherings annually. Mullen called Suppers “a hyper-local solution to a global problem.”

“How lucky I am to be able to express my gratitude for Dor,” said Lee Yonish, a current staff member at Suppers. “She was just a magical human being, one of the most special I’ve ever known. We were each other’s Jiminy Crickets. That’s what she used to call me, which was a massive compliment considering how wise and popular she was.”

Yonish said Mullen talked about blood sugar regulation before the medical community realized it was the underpinning of some chronic health issues. “She somehow knew the truth, never hesitated to share it, and never wavered in her wisdom,” Yonish said. “More than anyone, Dor gave me the clarity and the fuel to channel my passions. I know that many others feel this

way, so I consider it a great fortune that I get to continue her legacy by developing future programming for Suppers.”

Mu llen’s ow n physic al problems were related to mercury exposure she suffered as a child due to mercury from dental work. After being diagnosed with nonsmoking-related cancer in April 2019, she co-hosted a town hall meeting on dying at Princeton Public Library, wrote about the situation on the Suppers website and in US1, and produced more than 60 videos regarding end-of-life care, relationships, and decision-making.

“Dorothy was an original,” said Fiona Capstick, president of Suppers board of trustees. “I appreciated her original way of thinking, challenging conventional

medical ways and reaching out to all sorts of people to collaborate, whether it was farmers, medical practitioners, or anyone else, to get to the roots of how to help people heal.”

Suppers E xecutive Director Marion Reinson described Mullen as generous, chaotic, innovative, selfless, and grounding. “I literally have a pot of bone broth on my stove right now,” she said. “My peas are in the ground. Because of Dor, we are eating better, gardening, and helping other people do the same.”

Mullen is survived by her brother, Stuart Smith, of Chelmsford, Mass.; sister, Merilyn Sandberg, of Wallingford, Conn.; son, James, of Princeton; son, Max, of Longmeadow, Mass., his wife Emily and their son Daniel; daughter, Viveka Claire, of Boston; her lifelong friend and end-of-life care provider, Violet Tomlinson; and longtime companion, Roger Martindell.

People are invited to share stories, memories, and photos of Mullen at a special tribute site, dorothymullen. org.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST: Dorothy Mullen, a founder of The Suppers Programs, an advocate of school gardens, and a producer of her own end-of-life educational program, died March 15.

with her family, emphasized three main points in her platform : managing eco nomic development, communication and inclusivity, and support for public schools.

Shaw cited a “gap between the needs of the town and the work being done by Council,” and presented herself as “an alternative.”

She emphasized the importance of transparency and increased communication to encourage more community involvement. In highlighting her business background, she warned against raising taxes and “squeezing out more people.”

In his statement, Freda, president of the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad and a 40-year member of the Princeton Fire Department, pointed out the value of his experience. “My experience will enable me to hit the ground running on day one,” he said. “I will get things done. I will lead by example. I will always listen to you.”

Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker moderated the forum.

one mayoral candidate will be on the ballot for the June 2 Democratic primary. No other candidates have declared to date. They have until the March 30 deadline to do so.

In the forum, each Council candidate delivered opening remarks, and answered questions that had been emailed in on such subjects as balancing Princeton’s growth, transportation, education, inclusiveness, affordability, and preserving open space.

Cohen, who joined the planning board six years ago and is in his first term on Council, emphasized his experience as an architect and his ability to listen well, communicate clearly, and build consensus. Advocating “smart growth” to avoid sprawl, Cohen noted his work in developing the Princeton Climate Action Plan and the urgent need to implement that plan.

He also highlighted the value of diversity in Princeton as “something we do to benefit ourselves. It gives us all the opportunity to learn from others,” he said.

Fraga, who has ser ved the community in various capacities for the past 20 years and is in her first term on Council, also struck the theme of smart growth and added, “we must have input from neighbors, the business community, and everyone who is going to be impacted.”

Highlighting the importance of engaging the community, Fraga said, “We should all make a difference and have a positive impact on our community.” Council liaison to the Civil Rights Commission and Human Services, Fraga praised the Princeton Health Department and Emergency Services for their response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I want to commend them for doing a wonderful job,” she said. “They have been working non-stop to make sure that information goes out and that it is accurate.”

She added, “I know there is a lot more we can do, but I’m immensely proud of all the work we’ve been doing.”

Shaw, who has served as PTO president at Littlebrook and John Witherspoon, volunteered for local organizations, and started a business in her 17 years in Princeton

The adult education program at LALDEF offers ESL, high school equivalency, computer literacy, citizenship prep, and other learning and literacy initiatives.

In the area of immigrant and human rights advocacy, LALDEF supports current policy and legislative movements aimed to increase access for immigrants to better life opportunities, like the recently passed New Jersey driver’s license for immigrants legislation.

Fraga, who has worked with LALDEF over the past 10 years, described her introduction to the organization when she was looking for opportunities to volunteer. “As a first-generation

immigrant who understood too well the importance of the services LALDEF was providing, and who wished my family had access to such a caring organization when we first immigrated, it was a match made in heaven,” she said. In its early days, LALDEF operated out of a room in the basement of Princeton Nassau Presbyterian, Fraga noted.

“LALDEF’s mission initially was to suppor t its L atino immigrant neighbors,” she continued. “As the organization grew, and as the social and cultural demographic shifted in the region, LALDEF recognized both the other existing immigrant populations as well as new immigrant populations in the area. W hile Latinos are still the largest group LALDEF serves, they serve, and invite in, all of our immigrant neighbors.”

She continued, “They are a truly grassroots nonprofit organization, defending the civil rights of all immigrants in Mercer County. LALDEF recognizes that what is good for immigrant children and their families is good for all families.”

LALDEF Executive Direc-

tor Dina Paulson-McEwen acknowledged the challenges ahead as LALDEF will be working remotely for the next two weeks with their offices closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We will be moving to remote and virtual communication as our primary way of interacting with our clients across our department areas during this time,” she wrote in a statement issued on Sunday.

“Please check our website for updates on all our programming during these next two weeks: laldef.org.”

She added, “We have to now figure out how we can be guides, advocates, teachers, supporters, friends, listeners, and resource-bearers to our community through virtual means.” In accepting the award at last week’s Council meeting PaulsonMcEwen, who has been at the helm of LALDEF since January, praised her predecessors and the supportive Mercer County community. ”I’m totally in love with LALDEF and its beautiful history of people who have created and uplifted the organization,” she said. “We couldn’t do the work we do without the benevolent community that shares the values that we share. We’re grateful to have so many friends and partners.”

Award-Winning LALDEF Team Continues To Serve Mercer Immigrant Community

Coronavirus Pandemic

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2020 • 10

Many Community Organizations Closed Due to COVID-19 Outbreak As the COVID-19 virus situation continues to evolve, Princeton’s streets and gathering places grow quieter.

Some key community services which have curtailed or temporarily closed during the crisis are included here.

Restaurants are closed for indoor dining until further notice from the state of New Jersey, but many are offering takeout and delivery.

Princeton Public Library issued a statement t his week announcing closure through March 29, when the situation will be reassessed.

“This decision was made in consultation with municipal officials and in consideration of the well-being of our staff and community,” the statement reads. “Materials will not be accepted for return while the library is closed, and fees and fines will be waived. The library’s book drops will be unavailable during the closure, and

customers are asked not to leave books or other materials on library premises.

While the building is closed, library card holders can still access a broad range of digital resources including e-books, audiobooks, movies, music, tutorials, and research tools through the library’s website. For updates, see the library website at princetonlibrary.org.”

The Ar ts Council of Princeton is closed through March 29, when it will reassess the situation.

SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals, is open but operating with staff only, no volunteers. Approved adoptions are by appointment only, and the application can be completed online.

The organization will not be accepting household items such as sheets, towels, used pet beds, and newspaper at this time, though canned food, litter, toys, treats,

and kitten supplies can be left outside the front doors (1010 Route 601, Montgomery) during business hours.

“Pets are a lifetime commitment and this is a good opportunity to welcome a new pet while the family is home for an extended time,” wrote Executive Director Heather L. Achenbach in a statement. “We are here to help. Call the shelter at (609) 309-5214 to make your appointment (approved applications only).”

The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice on Wiggins Street has closed its doors, but issued this statement: “We do this with great sadness but an even greater desire to keep our community safe and healthy in these extraordinary times. But we are now dreamin’ up a nightly virtual balm — livestreaming dynamic Social Justice Power Hour to remotely entertain and enlighten our community. Music, craftmaking, interviews, queer yoga, shenanigans, etc. with some truly special guests.

Stay tuned, true believers.

Social distancing may be a necessity right now but it does not mean we cannot be social from a distance.”

Princeton Plasma Physics Lab (PPPL) 100 Stellarator Road in Forrestal, is closed at least through March 29.

All public events, tours, the Saturday Lecture Series, and the Young Women’s Conference in STEM education have all been canceled.

Visit energy.gov/science for more information.

Morven Museum and Garden, 55 Stockton Street, has closed its galleries until April 1, but the grounds remain open to the public. Princeton University Art Museum is closed until further notice, and the museum at Updike Farmstead, home of the Historical Society of Princeton at 354 Quaker Road, is closed through April 5. All scheduled public programs and events through that date are canceled.

Volunteers Needed For Planting Event

Friends of Princeton Open Space ( FOPOS) needs help to plant a diversity of native tree and shrub seedlings in the Forest Restoration Project site at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. On Saturday March 21, FOPOS is hosting a morning event from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and an afternoon event from 1-4 p.m.

The 18-acre forest site was once overwhelmed by a tangle of invasive species including multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Oriental photinia (Photinia villosa), and stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum). Invasive species can quickly degrade native habitats resulting in a loss in biodiversity and ecosystem quality. In 2019 targeted invasive removal was completed across the entire 18-acre site and they are now ready to plant.

During this session the natural resource manager will demonstrate how to plant a bare root tree seedling. FOPOS will provide all of the necessary tools including gloves and shovels,

however participants are encouraged to bring their own if possible.

The restored site will provide sustaining habitat for birds, pollinators, mammals, and other wildlife, while providing a much-enhanced experience for hikers, runners, bicyclists, birdwatchers and other park users. The trees planted and protected now will become the future canopy of the forest.

This project is partly funded by lead grants from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres Stewardship Grant Program and the George M. and Estelle H. Sands Foundation. Other grants were received from the Washington Crossing Audubon Society Holden Grant fund, the Franklin Parker grant program, Janssen Pharmaceuticals and the Investors Foundation.

To volunteer for the March 21 or another planting event, email info @ fopos.org with “VOLUNTEER” in the subject line. Those who can’t assist in planting events but would like to donate a tree can visit fopos.org.

The Late Dorothy Mullen on Benefits of Outdoor Activities

To the Editor: We got the hand-washing message down: do it and do it for 20 seconds!

We got the social proximity rules knocked: avoid!

But what about the obvious flip side: if avoiding large groups is potentially lifesaving, what are we doing indoors?

Faced with such momentous shifts in social norms as school closings nationwide, isn’t it worth asking: If social proximity is our foe, isn’t the outdoors our friend?

Shouldn’t we get a gardening program and get those kids outdoors? But wait, Princeton has that!

When I started writing 20 years ago about the consequences of screen-focused childhood, I had no idea I’d end up defending outdoor education as a national defense strategy. But with more space our friend and social proximity our foe, can we please look for solutions outside — in our gardens and on our trails?

Yes, sing “Happy Birthday” while washing your hands, and model good hygiene by keeping children a safe distance from large groups. Also look outside where Mother Nature’s tender arms are wide open.

Outside we find harm-reduction solutions that reduce COVID-19 risk — with fresh air and large open spaces — all readily available, inexpensive, and practical as part of a whole-herd solution.

Princeton University, Eisgruber Rising to “Unprecedented Challenges”

To the Editor: Here’s an edifying story about Princeton University’s response to the virus that is tragically plaguing our planet.

Thursday evening, March 12, an old friend of my family and mine from summers in Maine (“old” though, in fact, young — a Princeton freshman) asked my wife and me to store much of his college gear — books, racquets, golf clubs, clothes, artwork, and more books — until September because his first year of college was suddenly and shockingly over.

On the drive from campus to our house and back, my friend and I spoke about various things —rowing (his latest athletic love), his summer plans (doing an internship, helping out on the family farm in Virginia, spending time on the Maine coast); teen foolishness on Nautilus Island (no comment, but he was not involved); The Decameron (on which he’d just written a paper); his family (close-knit, intellectual, adventurous); and, of course, COVID-19 (the rogue elephant in the room).

On the last topic, my friend said that nearly all the news he’d heard in the preceding week was bad. But he also said that he’d heard from his coach and a couple of his teachers that the University seemed to be handling the medical, pedagogical, financial, and logistical challenges very well indeed. He’d also heard that Christopher L. Eisgruber — the Princeton physics major who became a lawyer, then a Constitutional scholar, and eventually the University’s 20th president — had risen to these unprecedented challenges. Chris Eisgruber, the freshman said, “agonized” over the hard choices that he and his leadership team had to make in a period of intense flux and fear, both locally and globally.

Rising to the challenge when so many things go so quickly and dangerously wrong makes for a little good news from a week mauled by a lot of bad news. This was the week millions of students around the nation and the world learned to spell the word “pandemic” and use it in a sentence.

Asking PPS Board to Choose “Courageous and Bold” New Leader

To the Editor: As our Board of Education embarks on the journey to find a new superintendent and leader for Princeton Public Schools, we ask the Board to recognize the need for courageous and bold leadership to ensure that ALL of our students are supported and that we empower the next generation of leaders in our communities.

Princeton Public Schools needs a leader that can inspire and motivate us to think big and encourage an “anything is possible” dialogue around how to solve the challenges in our schools. At this time, more than ever, we need disruptive innovation in education and Princeton should be at the forefront, where we test and launch projects that use cutting-edge techniques and technology to build solutions in education.

We should strive to serve as a role model for using education to radically improve the world. We should not settle for incremental improvements, but aspire to being a moonshot factory of sorts in education.

We ask the Board to look for a leader who will: Truly make our classrooms as diverse as our community by reflecting that diversity in our educators at the front of the room. Model an environment of inclusion where all

Proposing a Six-Month Moratorium On Limited Prescription Rules

To the Editor: Some health experts have advised people, like me, to stock up on critical medicines to get them through any isolation or quarantine they may face because of the coronavirus.

My doctor put in a prescription for just that reason, but since I wasn’t due for a refill, my in-network pharmacy said my insurance company wouldn’t pay for it. It said the pharmacy’s hands were tied by the insurance company’s rules. The pharmacy, however, would fill the prescription at full cost which, fortunately, I could afford.

But for those who can’t afford it and who could become quarantined and isolated, they may have to choose between going out and possibly infecting others, or forgoing their medications. Between prescription limitations and the need to stay in-network, the person who is trying to self-isolate, and can’t afford to pay full cost, is in trouble (as are we all if they have to break their quarantine).

One solution might be a six-month moratorium on insurance companys’ limited prescription rules, especially for those medicines, like mine, that aren’t easily abused and are life savers.

Patients are getting mixed messages: Experts advise us to stock up, but insurance companies are unwilling to pay for this precautionary measure, even for drugs which aren’t easily abused.

I’ve called my state and federal representatives, but it seems like the log-jam of issues in front of Congress may keep this “front-burner issue” from being addressed in time to help people who need to stockpile their critical medications. A month from now may be too late. This may become just another pandemic issue that could have been avoided with better planning.

Noting the Importance of Protecting, Planting, Maintaining Native Trees

To the Editor: One of the things I love most about living in Princeton is the trees. And our trees need help, because we are losing them at an alarming rate. Redevelopment, storms, elm disease, and the looming disaster of the emerald ash borer all make it especially urgent that we protect the trees we have, and plant new ones where we can. Trees sequester an enormous amount of carbon, and all of this is released shortly after they are cut down, especially when they are mulched. Conversely, a new tree takes carbon out of the atmosphere as it grows.

A few easy things anyone can do: 1. Cut overgrowing vines off your trees. Many vines are invasive, and can do serious damage. If you just cut a vine above the ground, the part in the tree will die. You don’t need to remove it from the tree.

2. Plant a tree native to this area. If you think that trees are too expensive, become a member of the National Arbor Day. They will send you dozens of saplings for hardly any money with instructions for planting and care. These tiny trees are fragile and many of them may not make it, so plant a bunch. It’s incredibly satisfying to see them grow up.

3. Protect your (new) trees from deer. Unfortunately we have a serious deer overpopulation in and around our town, and they love to eat bark and tops off small trees, particularly native ones. There are many ways to protect your trees, and they don’t need to be elaborate and expensive.

What good is accepting the science of climate change, if we continue to act as if it’s a hoax? The best time for planting a tree was yesterday; the next best is this spring.

Happy planting!

The Dryden Ensemble: A 25th Anniversary “Passion” For Music

To the Editor: This past Friday night The Dryden Ensemble performed J.S. Bach’s “St. John Passion” at All Saints’ Church in Princeton as the final concert of their 25th Anniversary Season. It was a more than fitting way to end the season, performed with 25 musicians, many of whom were original Dryden ensemble members. This iconic work, one of Bach’s signature works, requires both a thorough knowledge of

Baroque music and outstanding musicianship to be able to get through one and a half hours of a piece where every musician is continually exposed.

The Dryden Ensemble was more than up to the task, moving some of the audience to tears at its conclusion.

I have heard the Dryden Ensemble since its founding and remember with fondness concerts at the Princeton University Chapel with the late Dr. William Scheide, world expert on Bach, giving pre-concert talks to illuminate the pieces about to be heard. Played always on copies of period instruments, authenticity is a mark of the ensemble.

Founder Jane McKinley, an expert on the Baroque oboe da caccia, assured from the beginning that there would be no compromises in this ensemble’s dedication to authenticity.

That written, it would take too much space to salute all of those involved, but exemplary performances cannot be ignored. There were only eight singers making up both chorus and soloists, which lent what was undoubted authenticity to this performance. Tenor Jason McStoots sang the Evangelist with perfect conviction, as did bass William Sharp as Jesus. But as each member of the chorus took their turns as soloists through the entire piece, and then stepped back to blend with such warmth as a chorus, one was immersed in the story from John of the betrayal of Jesus through his crucifixion. Director Scott Metcalfe brought musical emotion to a height rarely experienced, with appropriate silences between sections to allow the music to soak into one’s soul. Brava/o to sopranos Laurie Heimes and Margaret Rood, mezzo-soprano Kristen Dubenion-Smith and Kim Leeds, tenor Aaron Sheehan (an alum of the 2003 Dryden performance of this piece), and baritone Brian Ming Chu. The 17-seat orchestra was led by principal violinist Vita Wallace (also playing viola d’amore) providing the subtle lead string in the major orchestral segments (also an alum of the 2003 performance). No Bach piece exists without a steady continuo, underpinning solos throughout, provided in this performance by original Dryden members Lisa Terry on viola da gamba with portatif organist Webb Wiggins, whose 25th anniversary performances created support and solo lines of absolute musical perfection.

We, in the Princeton area, are incredibly fortunate to have many musical ensembles of the highest caliber, professional, amateur, and academic. A shining star of these, gratefully celebrating a much-deserved milestone of making outstanding early music of the Baroque period over 25 years, is The Dryden Ensemble.

Hire moonshot thinkers. Encourage and celebrate innovation and radical thinking by administrators and teachers in the classroom. Learn from the failures and build off of the successes.

Embrace the civic mission of schools. Young citizens are coming of age with a distrust of public institutions and demonizing people who do not think like them. Even though schools are the perfect place to invite young citizens to engage, we fail to do so. We need leadership who understands the power and importance of nurturing among our students the knowledge, skills, and disposition that make the foundation for citizenship in a democracy.

As a town with a rich history in leading a revolution and nurturing a young country, and that sits in the embrace of one of the most revered educational institutions in the world, we should expect nothing less.

BOOK REVIEW

“Wonder Wonder” — A Moveable Feast of Hemingway and Cézanne

I

t makes surreal, unhappy, pandemic sense, that after last week’s preview of the long-awaited five-day Bryn Mawr Wellesley book event at the Princeton Day School gym that ended after less than two days, I find myself writing a book review about a once-in-a lifetime art event that closed a week after it opened.

The e-mail invitation from the Princeton University Art Museum (PUAM) offering “great art” as “a source of solace” came with an implicit now or never alert. The fact that a “number of steps” had been taken to assure the public’s safety left little doubt about the endgame possibility. The promise of “a touch-free museum experience,” and the proviso to keep our social distance, no handshakes, no hugging, along with the assurance that “new disinfection protocols are in place” seemed clinically antithetical to the spirit of the show.

At the same time, there was an irresistible attraction in the element of risk, the idea of an embattled and unprecedented showing of Cézannes, two galleries of “infinite riches” by the “wonder, wonder painter,” as Ernest Hemingway once called him. And there was the paradoxical upside, that because of the threat of the virus, there were no crowds bustling between you and the work of a painter who once told a friend, “One minute in the life of the world is going by! Paint it as it is!”

Hunger My tendency to connect the painter with the writer derives from Hemingway’s posthumous Paris memoir, A Moveable Feast (1964), in which he says, “I was learning something from the painting of Cézanne that made writing simple true sentences far from enough to make the stories have the dimensions I was trying to put in them.” He goes on to admit that he was “not articulate enough to explain it to anyone. Besides it was a secret.”

In a later chapter, he finds a more effective way to explain his appreciation: “I learned to understand Cézanne much better and to see truly how he made landscapes when I was hungry. I used to wonder if he were hungry too when he painted; but I thought possibly it was only that he had forgotten to eat. It was one of those unsound but illuminating thoughts you have when you have been sleepless or hungry.”

Writing as his youthful alter ego in a 1972 collection of early work (The Nick Adams Stories), Hemingway expresses boyish enthusiasm (Cezanne “was the greatest”) in a short hitherto unpublished piece titled “On Writing”: “Cézanne started with all the tricks.

Then he broke the whole thing down and built the real thing. It was hell to do.

He was the greatest. The greatest for always.... Nick wanted to write about country so it would be there like Cézanne had done it in painting. You had to do it from inside yourself. There wasn’t any trick.

Nobody had ever written about country like that. He felt almost holy about it. It was deadly serious. You could do it if you could fight it out. If you’d lived right with your eyes.”

“Wonder, wonder painter” Then there’s the famously super-expansive fifty-something Hemingway quoted

by Lillian Ross in her landmark May 1950 New Yorker profile; he’s at the Metropolitan Museum, having looked “for several minutes” at Cézanne’s Rocks—Forest of Fontainebleau (on loan 70 years later in the pandemic-suspended PUAM show): “This is what we try to do in writing, this and this, and the woods, and the rocks

we have to climb over .... Cézanne is my painter, after the early painters. Wonder, wonder painter.”

Really, what else but words like “wonder wonder” can do justice to the two rooms of Cézanne in The Rock & Quarry Paintings? Even the museum’s card of invitation to the “Exhibition Celebration” that-might-have-been was such a joy to see, such a pleasure, that we kept it displayed in the dining room in the weeks when the Coronavirus was gathering newsworthy momentum. Looking at “a thing of beauty” as you go about your as yet undisturbed daily rounds, you know that art will endure, survive, transcend this mysterious adversary.

Gazing on the card’s cover image of Trees and Rocks, I could imagine the young, hungry Hemingway in Paris seeing Lake Michigan in the blue shape at the top, a sure reminder of the upper peninsula landscape he grew up in and paints in prose in “The Big Two-Hearted River.”

Nick Adams imagines it in “On Writing”: “He knew just how Cézanne would paint this stretch of river. God, if he were only here to do it. They died and that was the hell if it.” This sounds very much like the writer with the “secret.” Then, seeing how Cézanne “would do the stretch of river and the swamp,” Nick “stood up and stepped down into the stream.”

In that moment of submergence in seeing, painter and writer, young, old, and ageless, become one.

Let’s Drink Hoping that this wonder wonder show will live to see another day, I’m saving most of the notes I made during my visit to the exhibit last Saturday. Curator John Elderfeld’s necessarily more restrained commentary was informative and enlightened throughout, although my wife would have added a label pointing out how much the design of her favorite Peruvian Connection sweaters owed to Cézanne. I’m particularly thankful for the translation of Bibémus in Quarry at Bibémus. It’s not just that “let’s drink” evokes the spirit of Hemingway stories like “The Three Day Blow,” it’s the way it brings to mind the line, “Drink to me only with thine eyes,” from Ben Jonson’s song “To Celia.” I can’t say why without sounding like the eternal English major that I am, but somehow the spirit of those words and the ones that follow, “And I will pledge with mine,” captures how it felt to have that hour in the museum and to hope, to drink to, its return before the summer’s over.

Thanks to Loyal Patrons, Bryn Mawr Sale Survives

According to Elizabeth Romanaux, past president of the Bryn Mawr Wellesley Book Sale, they are “lucky to have such loyal patrons.”

Though they “expected to have a financial shortfall and go out of business with such a short sale” (one and a half days instead of the normal five), they “earned enough to stay afloat until next year.

Buyers came from Toronto, South Carolina, Martha’s Vineyard and beyond. They would like to thank the staff at Princeton Day School “for working to make the sale a success under such trying circumstances.”

Tony Award-Winning Play Comes to State Theatre NJ

State Theatre New Jersey presents the Tony Awardwinning Broadway comedy The Play That Goes Wrong

2 and 3 at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, April 4 at 2 and 8 p.m.

This production of the play is directed by Rutgers alumnus Matt DiCarlo. Cowritten by Mischief Theatre company members Henry L ew is, Jonat han Sayer, and Henr y Shields, The Play That Goes Wrong is a comedy about the theatre. The play introduces The “Cornley University Drama Society,” who are attempting to put on a 1920s murder mystery, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong…does, as the accident-prone thespians battle on against all odds to get to their final curtain call.

The Broadway production opened at the Lyceum Theatre on April 2, 2017 and by its closing on January 6, 2019 played 27 previews and 745 per for mances, making it the second longest running show in the history of the Lyceum Theatre. The Play That Goes Wrong received a Tony Award for Best Set Design, Broadway.com’s Audience Choice Award for B e s t Play, and the Theater Fans Choice Award for Best Play.

The play began at a London fringe venue with only four paying members of the public at the first performance, and has gone on to play to an audience of over two million people around the world.

Mischief Theatre, led by

re c tor Jonat ha n S ayer, was founded in 2008 by a group of graduates of The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and began as an improvised comedy group. Mischief Theatre performs across the U.K. and internationally with improvised and original scripted work.

The State Theatre is at 15 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick. Visit STNJ.org for tickets, which range from $40 to $98.

MULTIPLE MISHAPS: The touring company of “The Play That Goes Wrong,” which is scheduled to stop at State Theatre NJ April 2-4, in one of the many comedic moments.

Jazz legends Gene Perla and Nat Adderley, Jr. will perform at the Plainsboro Public Library in April, as part of the township’s Jazz Appreciation Month.

On Saturday, April 18, at 7 p.m., Perla, a bass player, will also kick off a yearlong celebration of the library’s 10th anniversary at its location on Van Doren Street.

He and his Go Trio, which includes pianist Sean Gough and drummer Doug Hirlinger, will play traditional and modern jazz standards, as well as the Great American Songbook. “We may play one or two rock and roll things,” he said, “and, of course, we always improvise.”

Pianist Adderley, a conductor, composer, and arranger who is best known for his work with singer Luther Vandross, will headline at the library on Friday, April 24, at 7 p.m. Joining him will be drummer Alvester Garnett and bassist Chris Berger, who are members of the Nat Adderley Jr. Trio.

The repertoire will include jazz arrangements of Luther Vandross hits, as well as tributes to Nat’s uncle, alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley. “We’ll play new arrangements of other jazz and pop standards, as well,” Adderley said.

Both Perla and Adderley are fixtures on the international jazz scene. Perla has played with Elvin Jones, Sonny Rollins, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, and Stone Alliance; while Adderley has composed or arranged music for a number of artists. He wrote and arranged many Vandross hits, and also helped other artists achieve major recognition.

He wrote The Wave for Kirk Whalum, arranged Natalie

JAZZ GREATS: Nat Adderley Jr.’s appearance at Plainsboro Public Library April 24 is part of a town-wide series focused on jazz.

Cole’s 1987 hit recording of When I Fall In Love, produced Just Another Lonely Night for Johnny Gill, and arranged most of Aretha Franklin’s album Jump To It. Both musicians have witnessed an evolution in jazz performance. “The introduction of electronics changed everything,” Perla said. “When there were no amplifiers and other electronic components to bolster sound, the genre was different.”

In the late 1960s and in the 1970s, jazz performers like Miles Davis and John McLaughlin “began melding different kinds of music — jazz, rock, funk,” he added. He defines “funk” as “infectious rhythm with swings and shaking.” Perla himself plays acoustic bass.

After a decades’-long absence from theater, Adderley has recently begun working with the Crossroads Theater Company in New Brunswick.

His most recent theater appearance was a two-week gig last September when he served as musical director and appeared as the character “Larry” (Paul Robeson’s accompanist) in Robeson.

During the past year, he has also performed in a number of New York and regional venues, as well as in Beijing, China (the Blue Note) and in Singapore (Kit Kat Club.) Perla, too, is active on the international circuit.

In December he took part in a 10-day concert tour to three Chinese cities, with a jazz quintet.

“Playing is something we have to do” Adderley said.

“We are not complete without it; and I don’t expect to ever retire.”

The concerts are part of a series of jazz events that will take place in various locations around Plainsboro during the month of April. The library is located at 9 Van Doren Street, Plainsboro.

Ebony Flag Named Arts Council Artist-in-Residence

Art

The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) has named Ebony H. Flag as its spring 2020 Anne Reeves Artistin-Residence. Flag will be working with students from the Arts Council’s ArtsExchange program (a partnership with HomeFront) on an interior mural project, The Future Me. Flag’s goal for this project is to aid these young students in their vision of what they have the potential to become. Will I be a doctor? A scientist? A gallery owner? She will lead the class in visualizing all the possibilities that await them.

“A WALK IN THE WOODS”: The works of New Jersey artist Catherine J. Martzloff are featured in “Looking Through a Rainbow,” on view at The Bank of Princeton, 10 Bridge Street, Lambertville, through April 12 during banking hours.

Ebony H. Flag “MORNING”: This painting by Megan Spring will be featured in ArtJam 2020, now running October 15 to 25 in a pop-up gallery on Hulfish Street. The event, which combines the art of professional artists and undiscovered artists who have experienced homelessness, supports ArtSpace, the therapeutic art program at HomeFront.

HomeFront’s ArtJam at Palmer Square in Oct.

Originally scheduled for this spring, this year’s ArtJam opens on October 15 in a pop-up gallery with a noble purpose — supporting ArtSpace, the therapeutic art program at HomeFront. The show continues through October 25 at 11 Hulfish Street, Palmer Square in Princeton.

When buyers pick up a painting, sculpture, or other artwork, they experience a double win — buying artworks they love and supporting a good cause. Recognized as a four star charity by Charity Navigator, 90 percent of every dollar raised is dedicated to programs that directly help clients.

“The work of HomeFront is multi-dimensional. We do much more than provide shelter,” says founder and CEO Connie Mercer. “Our programs and activities are designed to help families experiencing homelessness gain skills for self-empowerment and develop a vision of a better future for themselves and their children.”

One of the ways HomeFront

supports this transformation is through ArtSpace, its therapeutic art program, a special place where the creative process becomes a tool for self-expression, critical thinking, and problem-solving that can change the lives of the artists.

ArtJam’s pop up gallery appears in Princeton once a year, including the work of more than 100 well-regarded national and local artists alongside aspiring artists.

The exhibit has original, one-of-a-kind art for sale, including paintings, sculpture, pottery, glassworks, and hand-sewn items from SewingSpace, a HomeFront sewing program.

“Bringing together professional and aspiring artists makes ArtJam a different exhibit from a traditional art show,” says Ruthann Traylor, director of HomeFront’s ArtSpace/SewingSpace. “A dedicated team of volunteers and I create a pop-up gallery that is curated daily and features the best and most engaging works. Everyone can find something that they’d love to have in their home or office.”

Traylor added, “Through transforming this small corner of Palmer Square, we bring both awesome ar t and the important stories of HomeFront’s work to the Princeton community.”

ArtJam 2020 will present more than art for sale. With live musical performances, evening socials and private parties, entertainment, and art are both featured in the exhibit space. The undertaking is supported by sponsors ranging from local corporations to small business owners.

The gallery hours have been extended this year and will be on Mondays, noon-6 p.m.; Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Thursdays and Fridays, 10 a.m.-8:30 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m.; and Sundays, noon-6 pm.

For m or e i n for m at ion on ArtJam volunteering or sponsorship opportunities, contact Ruthann Traylor, (609) 883-7500 ext. 316, RuthannT@homefrontnj.org.

For a listing of ArtJam events, visit www.artjamnj.org.

“Ebony’s process includes discussing the concept of creating artwork for a large mural format and how to effectively convey thoughts and ideas in an illustrative technique,” said Maria Evans, artistic director of the Arts Council of Princeton.

Students will be involved in the design and color scheme for their individualized silhouettes, which will represent their future selves. This colorful mural will be painted onto the ACP’s Communiversity Room wall.

“For me, illustration is about telling a story through one’s art, and that the concept or message behind a piece should be as intentional as the visual art itself,” said Flag. “I am committed to telling the stories of people at the margins of society. I believe not only in bringing awareness to their marginalization, but also depicting what true liberty looks like when we commit ourselves to the work of justice.”

Doing this kind of work has personal meaning for Flag. “While I love art, I once wrestled with giving it up. When I was young and went to museums, I never saw anything that reflected me as a young black girl, and that was discouraging,”

she said. “Looking back, I realize that we as a people need to not only see positive representations, but representations that show us embracing our authentic selves and not assimilating to others’ standards. My artwork aims to move people toward reimagining who they can be and serves as a catalyst for self-empowerment.”

The Anne Reeves Artist-inResidence Program, named after the ACP’s founding director, was established by the Arts Council in 2009 to offer artists the opportunity to conceptualize and create new works while providing the community with creative interaction with working artists in all disciplines.

Census Initiative Grants Awarded to Local Nonprofits

The Princeton Area Community Foundation (PACF) has awarded $40,000 in grants to four local nonprofits working to ensure an accurate count in the 2020 Census.

“An accurate census count means there will be appropriate government funding to help areas in need,” said Jeffrey M. Vega, PACF president and CEO. “Coming together as a community is the only way to achieve this goal, and we are so happy to be a part of this effort.”

Grants of $10,000 each were awarded to Arm In Arm, based in Trenton; the Hamilton YMCA; the Princeton YMCA; and RISE, based in Hightstown. The nonprofits

difficult to count. Accurate counts are important because the federal government uses census data to determine how to allocate resources to states, including funding for a wide variety of categories such as school lunches, Head Start programs, Pell Grants, Medicaid, and Medicare Part B. T h e fou r g r a nt s were awarded as par t of t he Princeton Area Community Foundation’s discretionary grantmaking program.

The Princeton Area Community Foundation was also asked to host a separate, statewide fund. Foundations and corporations throughout New Jersey, including the G eraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Nicholson Foundation, and the Community Foundation of New Jersey, have contributed to that fund, which will award grants statewide to nonprofits working to ensure a complete count in the census.

“Everyone in New Jersey deserves to be counted, and this fund supports nonprofits that are working to educate and inform New Jerseyans about what the census is and why it is so important for communities and families,” said Kiki Jamieson, president of The Fund for New Jersey. “When every person in New Jersey is counted, everyone benefits.”

The U.S. Census Bureau says households across the country can expect to begin receiving an official Census Bureau mailing bet ween March 12 and 20.

Tiger Men’s Hockey Sees ECAC Run End Sadly As Playoffs Canceled Due to COVID-19 Outbreak

F

or the players on the Princeton University men’s hockey team, their locker room at Hobey Baker Rink is a sanctuary.

“The hockey dressing room is a terrific spot because the guys share their daily stories,” said Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty.

“It is a lifetime of preparing for the games and the dressing room is a pretty special spot because of the bonds and brotherhoods that are forged.”

Last Thursday, the dressing room became a solemn spot as the 2019-20 season came to a premature end with the winter playoffs getting canceled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak as Princeton was preparing to take part in the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals.

“When it is the last time in the dressing room with that group of guys that you have gotten to know for four years and underclassmen, it is is very difficult for them to say goodbye to each other,” said Fogarty, whose team swept Dartmouth in a best-of-three ECACH first round series from March 7-8 to improve to 6-20-5 and make the league quarters.

“I sympathize with their feelings. It was an emotional goodbye and an emotional time for everybody.”

While Fogarty sensed that the cancellation was bound to happen, it was tough for him to break the news to his players.

“I knew it was coming

because of the events leading up to it,” said Fogarty, pointing out that four teams had withdrawn from the quarterfinals before everything was canceled.

“I wasn’t prepared to tell our team that the season was over.

Usually after you lose a game and the season is done it is because of competition. You know what you are going to say; it is unfortunate. I was not prepared and felt really bad for the seniors and the team, as in any sport, that had their season cut short.

At the same time, our concern is for the health and well-being of each player and that takes precedence over any game.”

The premature end to the season was particularly tough for Princeton’s group of seniors — Jackson Cressey, Joey Fallon, Jordan Fogarty, Jeremy Germain, Liam Grande, and Derek Topatigh — who helped Princeton win the 2018 ECACH title.

“The conversation was that I am tremendously proud of that group,” said Fogarty, noting that senior players generally go on to play professionally after the end of the college season and have nowhere to play right now.

“Jackson Cressey tied for the most games ever played (132) for a player at Princeton. That just shows that group played in a lot of important games for the program. They won a championship. They have done some special things as a group collectively and as a part of a team.

As with any senior group that

goes through here I am very proud of them.”

Fogarty was especially proud of one of those seniors, his son Jordan.

“It was difficult at times but regardless of any day it was probably the most rewarding four years of my life,” asserted Fogarty, reflecting on coaching his son. “It was pretty special, no question about it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”

While Fogarty didn’t enjoy seeing the losses pile up over the regular season, he credited his players with maintaining their intensity and focus.

“It was a year riddled with injuries; I am very proud of our guys sticking with the game plan and what was asked of them every weekend when the results were not lining up,” said Fogarty.

“We knew that if we kept playing the way we were, we would put ourselves in position to win playoff series. This is what you are measured upon, if you can win a championship. We went up to a place where we won.

It is college sports, you never know what is going to happen.

You just want a chance to play and we gave ourselves the opportunity to advance and the rest will be unwritten.”

Giving playing time to such young performers as sophomore Corey Andonovski, junior Luke Keenan, freshman Spencer Kersten, sophomore Christian O’Neill, freshman Pito Walton, freshman Liam Gorman and

GRANDE FINALE: Princeton University men’s hockey player Liam Grande goes after the puck in a game this winter. Senior forward Grande and his classmates saw their college careers come to a premature end last week as the ECAC Hockey playoffs and NCAA championships were canceled due to ramifications of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. In his finale, Grande scored a goal and an assist as Princeton defeated Dartmouth 5-4 in overtime on March 7 to sweep an ECACH best-of-three first round playoff series. The Tigers ended the winter with a 6-20-5 record.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) sophomore goalie Jeremie Forget, Fogarty sees good things happening for the Tigers.

“It is exciting times for our program, we are going to add some speed and grit next season along with skill,” said Fogarty.

“I think Jeremie Forget took a big step, winning some games down the end. Even though Dartmouth scored some goals, he got two wins for us. I am

looking forward to the freshmen coming on campus.”

All of that is on the back burner for now as Fogarty’s focus is on seeing everyone get through the coronavirus crisis.

“I am really concerned for our current players going home and being safe,” said Fogarty.

“You just stay in touch with everybody and make sure your family is doing well. Hockey is a

backseat right now to everyone’s families. One of our daughters is in the health field and is starting a job at a hospital and we are going to be very concerned but she is a young, resilient person.

This virus isn’t looking at anyone’s name or health record, it is attacking everybody. I hope everyone’s being safe here and taking precautions.”

PU Women’s Hockey Rues What Might Have Been As Coronavirus Situation Ends Shot at NCAA Title When the Princeton University women’s hockey team got together for dinner at the Metro North last Thursday, it was not a typical night out.

Instead, it marked a last supper as the ECAC Hockey championship squad had convened after the NCAA tournament was canceled due to ramifications of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

“We went for a team dinner because Princeton University was also being evacuated and we were losing the chance to have a banquet,” said Princeton head coach Cara Morey.

“It is hard because there is no real closure. We did the best we could to have something makeshift; it wasn’t a banquet but it was the best we could do for our seniors.”

When the cancellation became increasingly inevitable as the week went on, the Tigers struggled in their preparation for their NCA A quarterfinal contest at Northeastern which was slated for March 14 with the victor earning a spot in Frozen Four the next weekend at Boston University.

“It was the limbo that was maybe the hardest; for a day and a half, the uncertainty of whether we were going to play was one of the hardest parts,” said Morey.

“You are trying to prepare with the mentality that the game is on but in the back of your head, you think it could be canceled. The players are trying to practice just in case but they are also crying because it could be their last time together. It was really

difficult.”

Wit h P r i nce ton hav i ng beaten Clarkson 5-1 in the ECACH semis on March 7 then rallying to defeat No. 1 Cornell 3-2 in overtime in the championship game a day later, the squad was primed for a run to the Frozen Four.

“I think we are still going to have strong teams but this just seemed like a really special group,” said Morey, whose team finished the winter with a 26-6-1 record, setting a program mark for most victories in a season.

“The one thing that nobody wants to live with is the question of what if. You would almost rather try it and fail instead of wondering but it is something unprecedented, outside of our control.”

Dealing with the unprecedented situation was particularly tough for the team’s group of seniors that included Carly Bullock, Claire Thompson, Steph Neatby, Sylvie Wallin, and Mackenzie Ebel.

“It is devastating, especially for these seniors because they put on such a great performance and they have really brought the program so far in the last four years,” said Morey.

“They haven’t stopped crying. Carly Bullock has been cr ying for 34 hours now straight. We keep teasing her that she is going to be so dehydrated.”

Emotions were r unning high as those seniors got one final skate at Hobey Baker Rink last Thursday.

“We knew that it was going to be the last practice on

Baker ice together because if we went to Boston and won then we would be staying there,” said Morey.

“We weren’t going to be coming back in between. We did know that it was going to be our last skate out there so it was pretty emotional.”

With sixth-ranked Princeton having gone 15 -2-1 in its last 18 games on the way to its first-ever ECACH crown, Morey felt her squad had as good a chance to win the NCAA title as any of the other seven teams in the competition.

“Maybe we weren’t the best team on paper but they had really come together and were playing the best hockey of the year,” said Morey.

“There was something intangible; there was some sort of spirit around them. I was feeling like we could win this whole thing, it was just three hockey games.”

The team’s heroics in capturing the ECACH crown will give the Tiger players some solace.

“That is your silver lining, I talked to the girls and told them that ver y, ver y few athletes get to win their last game of the season and very, very, very few get to win the last games of their career,” said Morey.

“So while it is extremely upsetting, they have that little piece to hang on to. They made history, we had never been there in the final and we won it. Right now, it is small because we were set on bigger things that we were looking at. It is something they

Dear Community, I wanted to take a moment to send an update regarding how Trinity Counseling Service is responding to COVID-19. The health and safety of our staff, clinicians, clients, volunteers and our community is of paramount importance to us. This is an unprecedented moment in time, and our patience, flexibility, and resilience is being tested. While people continue to talk about distancing themselves from others, and while that is, indeed, how we remain safe physically through this epidemic, being present and finding ways to be connected to others is critically important at times of crisis.

Thus, TCS has made a commitment to serve our community and have put a plan in place to do so. As of Sunday, March 15th TCS moved to remote status through Friday, April 10th, at which point we will reevaluate the public health emergency and reconsider our status. During this period, all calls will be monitored and returned per TCS policy. All sessions moving forward will take place virtually (via a telehealth platform) or by phone if virtual sessions are not possible (for clients who do not have access to our virtual platform) and until the telemedicine platform is fully integrated

by TCS. As clinicians and as an organization, we meet and work with people who suffer greatly as a result of loneliness and disconnection. Despite working remotely, we want to ensure all those with whom we work, as well as the community we serve, that we continue to be very present, and are continuing to think about our clients, our mission and ways to serve our community over these next few weeks. We look forward to welcoming everyone back, in person, when the fear of infection is behind us. Until then, we will continue to post resources and updates via Instagram, Facebook and our website (trinitycounseling.org). We wish you well.

Warm regards,

Reflecting on the season, Morey credited her senior group with making a big impact.

“I thanked them at our dinner for taking a chance on me and the program because it definitely wasn’t where it is now when they decided to come and they were some of the top recruits,” said Morey.

“I hope it ended paying off for them. They ended up making history and my vision of what the program could be came true, so it looks good now. They are tremendous, I don’t think they can be replaced ever. Everything they bring is not something you can replace the next year.

They have also given us such a gift. They have really pushed that program to the next level so what they have given us will carry through for future teams.”

With such standouts as sophomore Sarah Filler, sophomore Maggie Connors, sophomore Mariah Keopple, junior Rachel McQuigge and junior Sharon Frankel slated to return, the future looks bright for the Tigers.

“We do have a good core group; it was the same last year where last year’s seniors were really crucial too and we still had a good foundation,” said Morey.

“It is not that every year at a school like Princeton where you can bring in and hand pick everybody but we have great players and we have a great culture now. It is what I am excited about.”

In the meantime, Morey will be keeping tabs on her returning players to make sure they stay in shape. “I will figure out a way because the fitness aspect is one of the most important things,”

work them really hard. It is also a bonding time so it is going to be a void.”

And it will be hard to fill the void left by the premature end to the greatest season in program history.

Ivy League, NCAA Cancel Winter, Spring Sports

With further developments in the outbreak of COVID-19, the Ivy League presidents announced their unanimous decision last Wednesday to cancel all spring athletics practice and competition through the remainder of the academic year.

In accordance with the guidance of public health and medical professionals, Ivy League institutions have announced that students will not return to campus after spring break, and classes will be held virtually during the semester. Given this situation, it is not feasible for practice and competition to continue, the presidents concluded.

A day later, the NCAA canceled the Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships. Like the Ivy League, the decision was based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, the organization’s ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities.

Subsequently, the NCAA announced that eligibility relief is appropriate for all Division I student-athletes who participated in spring sports.

Details of eligibility relief will be finalized at a later time as additional issues with NCAA rules must be addressed, and appropriate governance bodies will work through those in the coming days and weeks.

Tiger Men’s Hoops Has 2 Make All-Ivy

Princeton University men’s basketball stars Richmond Aririguzoh and Jaelin Llewellyn were both named last week as All-Ivy League performers.

PU Women’s Hoops Garners All Ivy Honors

In the wake of going 26-1 overall and 14-0 Ivy League, the No. 17/No. 22 Princeton University women’s basketball team was well represented as the league revealed its honors last week for the 2019-20 campaign.

Senior forward Bella Alarie was the unanimous selection for Ivy Player of the Year and first-team All-Ivy. Junior point guard Carlie Littlefield was also a unanimous first-team All-Ivy pick while sophomore guard Julia Cunningham earned honorable mention. Tiger head coach Carla Berube was named Coach of the Year.

“I am thrilled that the Ivy League has recognized these three outstanding student

athletes,” said Berube, who was in her first season at the helm of the program.

“Bella is most deserving of being named Ivy League Player of the Year for the third time. This award caps off an amazing four-year career and places her among an elite group of Ivy women’s basketball players. She has been both unselfish and dominant this season. Carlie has had a tremendous year as our floor general and backbone of our defense. She has been incredibly consistent throughout the season and clutch in some of our biggest games. Julia has had a great sophomore campaign and has really emerged as both a great scorer and defender and does a lot of the little things are team needs to win. I’m really happy for all three and our team for these honors.”

The 6’4 Alarie, a native of Bethesda, Md., is just the third player in conference history to be named Player of the Year three times (Gail Koziara, Dartmouth 198082 and Dianna Caramanico, Penn 1999-01). She is also one of only nine players and the first Princeton to earn First-Team All-Ivy four times. Alarie is averaging 17.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 2.3 assists in 23 games this season, adding 10 20+ point outings. She leads the Ivy League in scoring, is second in rebounding and blocks, fourth in field goal percentage and eighth in free throw percentage.

The team co-captain is first in program history in Ivy Player of the Week awards (20), blocks (249), double-doubles (40) and points (1,703). She is in the top 10 in rebounds, field goal attempts, rebounding average, field goals, scoring averaging, free throws, free-throw attempts and free throw percentage.

The 5’9 Littlefield, who hails from Waukee, Iowa, secured her second consecutive First Team-All-Ivy selection. This winter, she was second on the squad in scoring (13.7) while leading the way in assists (80) and steals (50). The junior point guard has gradually improved her

was named to the All-Ivy first team with the honor marking the second postseason recognition of his career, as he was named to the All-Ivy League second team last season.

Sophomore guard Llewellyn earned his first All-Ivy recognition and was named to the second team.

The 6’9, 230-pound Aririguzoh, a Ewing, N.J. resident, averaged 12.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per game while shooting .617 from the floor this season, which ranks second in the Ivy League and eighth all-time in school history. His 2.9 offensive rebounds per game are an Ivy League-best while his 7.4 rebounds per game rank fourth in the conference. Aririguzoh recorded five double-doubles on the season and scored in double figures in 19 games.

T h e 6 ’ 2 , 175 - p o u n d Llewellyn, a native of Mississauga, Ontario, led the Tigers in scoring and ranked seventh in the league with a 15.3 points per game average, In addition, he was the fifth-most accurate free throw shooter in the conference, knocking down .780 of his attempts. Llewellyn eclipsed the 20-point mark on seven different occasions this season and scored in double figures in 22 games helping the Tigers go 14-13 overall and 9-5 Ivy.

Last week, Newell helped the China-based team KRS Vanke Rays win the title in the KHL, the Russian women’s hockey league. Newell has played the last two seasons with the Shenzhen-based team, which became part of the Russian league this season. Newell, a 5’9 native of Vancouver, British Columbia, set program records in wins (52) and saves (3,096) wins during her time at Princeton.

She is in the Ivy League’s top 10 in points, field goal percentage, assists, free throw percentage, steals, three-point field goal percentage and assist-turnover ratio. Littlefield became the 26th member of the pro-

gram’s 1,000-point club with her 24-point performance in a 77-52 win over Columbia on March 6.

The 5’11 Cunningham, a native of Watchung, N.J., produced a jump in scoring from 4.9 to 8.2 points per contest this winter while enjoying a climb in shooting percentage, three-point field

goal percentage, rebounding, assists and steals. Cunningham had four 10-plus point performances, highlighted by a 16-point outing at Harvard on February 1 on 7-of-11 shooting. Cunningham also tallied 14 points as the Tigers defeated Brown at home on February 28 and secured the outright Ivy League title.

With Young Players Gaining Experience, PHS Girls’ Basketball Showed Growth

With a roster including no seniors and few of the returning players having any varsity experience, Dave Kosa knew that his Princeton High girls’ basketball team would take its lumps this winter.

While PHS ended up posting a 5-20 record, Tiger head coach Kosa saw positives as his young squad picked up valuable experience.

“I was definitely encouraged by the progress that we made throughout the course of the season, even though it didn’t show up in the win/loss column,” said Kosa. “Some girls really got better.”

In the last week of the campaign, PHS displayed that improvement, playing three tight games and picking up its fifth win in the process.

“The reason why we played these three games was to get more experience,” said Kosa, whose team fell 37-26 to Northern Burlington on February 25, defeated Willingboro 31-27 two days later, and ended with season by losing 39-33 to Bordentown on February 28.

“We are young. We didn’t make the state tournament so why not play until the last day that we could to get better and just get more game experience. From that standpoint, it was definitely a plus.”

In assessing the team’s effort down the stretch, Kosa saw the final two outings as a major plus.

“Willingboro was a tight

one throughout so that was a good one,” said Kosa.

“It was nice to win a close game dow n the stretch.

Against Bordentown, we made a valiant comeback in the last quarter. I think they were up 18 or so early in the third and we came back and cut it to four.”

Over the course of the season, playing tight defense helped keep PHS close in a number of games.

“We knew that we weren’t going to be deep and we knew that we were going to be young,” said Kosa.

“We figured the best way to keep us in games would be to slow the ball down and play our solid defense.

I think we averaged giving up under 40 points a game which was our goal.”

On the f lip side, PHS str uggled to get points.

“The area that we need to improve upon big time is scoring the ball,” said Kosa.

“Our shooting percentages were way low. We were u nder 30 p erce nt from two, under 20 percent from three, and under 50 percent from the free throw line. We worked really hard in improving our shooting percentage. There is no substitute for shooting in games. We would be in some games and then all of a sudden we would get cold in one quarter and that would do us in. It is a great learning experience and I am excited for next year as far as the growth.”

Ju n ior g u ard a n d co -

captain Brynne Hennessy provided some of the best shooting for the Tigers, scoring 6.7 points a game and tallying a team-high 22 3-pointers.

“It would have been nice to have Brynne for a whole year,” said Kosa, noting that Hennessy was sidelined due to injury and illness.

“She worked really hard and she was one of our best three-point shooters. In the last game, she had 20 points with six threes. She really improved from last year to this year. She was strictly a JV player and this year she became one of our go-tos as far as perimeter shooting.”

The team’s other junior co-captain, point guard Ashley Tumpowsky, helped keep the offense going.

“Ashley is smart, she has a great mind for the game,” said Kosa of Tumpowsky who averaged 5.1 points a game and tied for the team lead in assists (38 ) with sophomore Molly Brown.

“She was able to run our stuff. It was hard for her because she was our only point guard. We didn’t really have anybody behind her so she would have to play almost the entire game and she would get tired. She is a warrior and she was out there doing her best. She can only get better as well.”

The team’s trio of sophomores, which featured Nora Devine and Sofia Aguayo in addition to Brown, each got better as the season went on.

“They are all very hard

workers, they all offer something different,” said Kosa, who also got some good play from sophomore Moji Ayodele and freshman Rachel Luo. “Nora was third in the conference in blocked shots (47), I think. She got six or seven rebounds a game for us (a team-high 144 on the season). She is scratching the surface as far as her potential with what she can do inside. Sofia needs to work on her strength and conditioning but she has really soft hands and moves well.

Molly is the consummate role player. She will dive on the floor for loose balls, she will set hard screens, and she will get some rebounds.

This year, she was our glue girl so that really helped us with her stepping into that role.”

In order to get more out of its potential next winter, the Tigers will need to work hard over the offseason.

“They were thrown into the fire this year,” said Kosa.

“Next year we know what we have and we are going to be getting some more pieces.

We are going to be playing in the summer league. We will have workouts two times a week and be playing in a team camp. Doing all of that should help us.”

Looking ahead, Kosa is fired up over the prospects for the program.

“We will be back to the grind; the success that we had two years ago was due to the fact that all of those girls were committed,” said Kosa, whose 2018-19 team posted an 18-8 record.

“They played during the summer, they played during

Princeton Little League Holding Sign-Ups

The Princeton Lit tle League ( PLL) is still accepting registration for its Tee Ball and Instructional Divisions (ages 4-8).

The focus of the programs is on player development and providing the opportunity for kids to play games in a balanced, competitive league format. The primary goals are for players to have fun and be safe, learn the fundamentals of the game, and grow as athletes and as young people.

Tee Ball (ages 4-6) program holds a combined practice and games on Saturdays only with variable start times approximately between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The Instructional (Ages 6-8) division holds combined practices and games on Monday nights (6-7:30 p.m.) and Saturdays

from approximately (9:30-11 a.m.).

The PLL strongly supports children playing multiple sports so there is flexibility on attendance each week.

The league asks that players try to make as many of their weekly PLL commitments as possible during the season to communicate in advance with the team manager when there is a conflict.

For determining divisional eligibility, one’s League age is determined by your age on August 31, 2020. So if one is 7 on August 31, 2020, then the League age is 7. Note that any child who is currently 4 years old is eligible to play tee ball this spring as long as they turn 5 years old by August 31, 2020.

Players can live within the PLL Boundary Area, which includes parts of Rocky Hill, Skillman, and Hopewell, or they can attend a school in the PLL Boundary Area.

The registration fee for Tee Ball is $125 while the registration fee for Instructional Baseball is $205. Each player will receive a cap and jersey. The league offers a $20 sibling discount. This applies to families who have kids playing both softball and baseball. Scholarships are available. For more information, contact info@princetonlittleleague.com

Obituaries

John Seward Johnson, Jr. John Seward Johnson, Jr., sculptor of hyper-realistic figures inhabiting cities around the world, creator of New Jersey’s Grounds For Sculpture and the Johnson Atelier, and grandson of Robert Wood Johnson, founder of Johnson & Johnson, died Tuesday, March, 10, 2020, surrounded by his family at his winter home in Key West, Florida. He was 89. The cause was cancer.

At the age of 38, Seward Johnson had been a painter when his wife, Cecelia Joyce Johnson, noticed that he had a mechanical aptitude and encouraged him to try sculpture. Less than a year later, Johnson won the top prize at the Design in Steel Awards.

From the beginning, he focused on creating life-sized bronze sculptures of people engaged in daily activities to honor “the beauty of the rituals of everyday life.”

It was in 1980 that Johnson first achieved wide acclaim, followed by citywide exhibitions in Rome and Berlin, and a growing number of collectors. “Double Check,” J oh n s on’s 1982 bron z e sculpture of a businessman, was the only Ground Zero piece to remain intact after the attacks of September 11, 2001. As The New York Times repor ted : “W hile ‘Double Check ’ evolved into a memorial to all who perished, it was also a fitting metaphor for the city: though the sculpture had been knocked loose from its moorings, it endured.” ‘’Most people who like my work are timid about their own sense of art,” Johnson explained. “I love to draw it out of them, because they have strong inner feelings.

They’ve been intimidated by the art world.’’ His later work explored iconographic references. A series that immersed viewers in life-sized tableaux of Impressionist subjects was among The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington’s all-time draws and was later exhibited along the Seine in Bougival near Paris.

As Johnson became more prolific, he opened a studio in his native New Jersey that expanded to become the Johnson Atelier — a technical school and an open foundry for other sculptors that revolutionized control of the medium. Previously, the ancient secrets of casting had been well guarded. The Atelier gave artists freedom over own their work, attracting some of the world’s great sculptors.

Seward Johnson, the son of John Seward Johnson and Ruth Dill, was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey,

on April 16, 1930. His father, a director of Johnson & Johnson, helped chart the company’s international expansion. His mother was the daughter of a member of the Bermudian colonial parliament, whose younger sister, Diana Dill, married the actor Kirk Douglas. Johnson lived with his three sisters in several locations across the United States and Europe. He attended the Forman School in Litchfield, Connecticut, to address his acute dyslexia, and the University of Maine at Orono.

He ser ved in the United States Navy during the Korean War, from 1951 to 1955.

After the war, he dutifully took a management job in the family company, but it was later made severely clear to him that his future was not there. He would undergo a period of painful searching to find his place, which his marriage to Cecelia Joyce provided. As his career took off, so did his reputation for being a well-known raconteur. Close friend Joyce Carol Oates joked, “Seward often tells great stories, and a few of them are even true.”

Yet when it came to himself, he was unflinchingly honest.

“After years of being afraid into my forties to show who I really was,” he later wrote, “I had to burst out and say, ‘Here, this is the real me.

Take me or leave me!’”

As Johnson’s reputation as an artist flourished, he began plans for a sculpture park with a vision as detailed as his figures. Visitors would be “encouraged to overcome any natural, habitual, or learned resistance or fear of art, for an experience that elevates the soul and heals the spirit.”

The now 42-acre Grounds For Sculpture gained international acclaim since its opening in June 1992 and features the works of more than 150 artists.

Still, many in Seward’s family felt his greatest gifts were reserved for them. “He was just capable of not taking anything for granted in his field of vision, always considering something from an upside-down point of view,” his son John S. Johnson III, co-founder of BuzzFeed, recalled. “What he did for me is open my eyes.” His nephew Michael G reen le af felt S eward ’s greatest lesson was “to extend yourself — to give yourself to the situation. Be generous — over and over.”

J Seward Johnson, Jr. who resided in Hopewell, New Jersey ; Nant ucket, MA; New York City, and Key West, Florida, is survived by his wife Cecelia Joyce; his son, John, and his wife, Susan; his daughter, India, and her husband Eliot, and five grandchildren.

Stacie Lee Isaacson Stacie Lee Isaacson, born December 31, 1960 in Trenton, NJ, died peacefully on the night of March 13, 2020.

She spent her childhood in Yardley, Pa. She was a special gift to her mother, whose birthday was January 1st. Stacie was a beautiful person inside and out. Despite her many difficulties in life, she had an uplifting spirit about her that will be remembered by all who knew her. At a young age, many people in the local Yardley community volunteered to assist in a program called “Patterning”

to improve her motor skills.

She was a medalist in the Special Olympics for swimming of which she was very proud — her favorite stroke was the butterfly.

Never one to pass judgement on others, Stacie loved laughing and telling jokes and was very good at telling you what famous person you resembled. It was her way of endearing herself to others, her intent was to form a simple connection with that person.

There are many life lessons Stacie taught us — about love, the beauty of life, and compassion for others. Though we may not have realized it at the time, her outward love for people is a lesson we can all share. As many can attest, she touched many lives and will surely be missed.

Predeceased by her mot her and fat her S on dra and George Isaacson, and brother-in-law Howard Domers, she is survived by her sister Laurie Domers, her brother and sister-inlaw Steven Isaacson and Laura Lichstein, her nieces Ashley and Alli Domers and Sydney and Olivia Isaacson.

She was a longtime resident of the Bancroft residential community in Vorhees, NJ, and will be missed by many of her friends there.

Due to health concerns around coronavirus, funeral services will be held privately for family with burial at Ewing Cemetery. A celebration of Stacie’s life will be announced in the near future.

Memorial contributions are respectfully requested to Special Olympics of New Jersey, or to a charity of the donor’s choice. To leave condolences for the family visit orlandsmemorialchapel.com.

Constance Greiff Constance Greiff, architectural historian, a pioneer of the historic preservation movement in the U.S., and longtime resident of Princeton and Rocky Hill, died Sunday, March 1, in Princeton.

Mrs. Greiff (pronounced to rhyme with “life”) turned an amateur passion for historic buildings into a profession, authoring books, founding and presiding over Preservation New Jersey, a nonprofit devoted to preserving the state’s diverse heritage, consulting, and advising the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

“Ever y building tells a story, though sometimes you have to dig to find it,” Mrs. Greiff said. “I like the digging and I like the telling.”

Her sons James and Peter said the cause of death was congestive heart failure. She was 90 years old.

Mrs. Greiff found her vocation in the early 1960s, within a few years of moving to Princeton, which was rich in historically significant but largely unexplored homes, churches, and buildings.

Teaming up with a Vassar

co-alumna Mary (Weitzel) Gibbons, and photographer Elizabeth G. C. Menzies, Mrs. Greif f co -aut hored “Princeton Architecture: A Pictorial History of Town and Campus,” published in 1967 by the Princeton University Press. The book had unusually high sales for a university press edition and for a time graced a good number of coffee tables in Princeton. The book was later reissued in paperback.

That book led to her involvement in the nascent New Jersey preser vation movement and the Princeton Historical Society, where she served twice as president and led the restoration of the society’s Nassau Street home, Bainbridge House.

In 1969, upon learning that Princeton University was going to build a large, mostly subterranean annex to Firestone Library, she and Mary Gibbons convinced the university to allow a brigade of students and volunteers to excavate the site, where the Houdibras Tavern had stood in the 18th century. For six weeks in the spring of that year, the team extracted shards of pottery and china, tableware and other household items, which later were catalogued and displayed in Bainbridge House.

Mrs. Greiff was appointed advisor to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1973 and became an editor at the Pyne Press, a small imprint based on Nassau Street that specialized in the re-issue of vintage architectural books. While at Pyne Press, she authored “Lost America: From the Atlantic to the Mississippi” and “Lost America: From the Mississippi to the Pacific,” photographic tours of hundreds of buildings of architectural or historic value that had been lost to neglect, fire, flood or modern development.

Through these books, Greiff’s work became known to a national audience. “‘Lost America’ is more than a r unthrough of a morgue of dead buildings, for it can sharpen our sight, alert us what to look for, make us conscious of the buildings around us,” The New York Times’ Thomas Lash wrote in a review. “It can help us stop making the same mistakes our ancestors did.”

In a separate New York Times rev iew, R ita Reif wrote, “’Lost America’ is the most persuasive, intelligent argument yet presented for preservation of this country’s historic buildings….This long overdue indictment of all apathetic or greedy Americans responsible for the destruction of architectural treasures, is written with full knowledge that preservation does not mean an end to change and progress.”

Other books Mrs. Greiff authored were “John Notman, Architect” (Athenaeum of Philadelphia, 1979), “Independence: The Creation of a National Park” (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1987), “Early Victorian” and “Art Nouveau” (both Abbeville Press, 1995), “Robert Smith, Architect, Builder, Patriot” (Athenaeum of Philadelphia, 2000), which she co-authored with Charles E. Peterson and Maria Thompson “Morven: Memory, Myth and Reality” (Historic Morven, Inc., 2004) which she co-authored with Wanda Gunning.

I n 1975, M r s . G r e i f f founded Heritage Studies, a

consultancy that performed sur veys and st udies for towns, counties, and states in the Northeast, the first of its kind in the preservation world. Heritage Studies employed many young architectural historians, helping launch careers in what was still a new field. Architectural historian Bob Craig, Supervisor of the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office, who worked at Heritage Studies during a 12 year period in the 1970s and 1980s, recalled that working for Mrs. Greiff was “like getting a second graduate school education.”

In 1978, she fou nded Preservation New Jersey, of which she was President until 1989. She also served on the planning boards of Princeton and Rocky Hill and was a member of the New Jersey State Review Board for Historic Preservation.

Constance May Mann was born in New York on Oct. 4, 1929, the second of two daughters of Jacob and Evelyn (Weiss) Mann. Her father taught Latin in the New York public schools. Raised in Queens and Manhattan, she recalled being assigned to be a messenger in Manhattan during the blackouts of World War II. She said her duties were to sit by a phone in a basement office of her apartment building, but the phone never rang.

Mrs. Greiff graduated from Vassar College, where she studied Art History and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Following graduate studies at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts, she returned to teach briefly at Vassar.

While studying at Vassar, she met Robert Greiff, an engineering student at Columbia University. They were married in 1952 and had two sons, James and Peter, who survive her, as do James’ wife, Bia, his children, Rachel and Samuel, and Peter’s daughter, Lara.

Robert Greiff passed away in 2018. Mrs. Greiff’s older sister, Joan, passed away in January 2020.

Rina Ann Pennacchia R ina A nn Pennacchia, 75, of Annapolis, Maryland, passed away at home Tuesday, February 25, 2020.

A resident of Annapolis for over 50 years, Rina was born and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, by the late Dominick Pennacchia and Helen Yolanda (Taraschi) Pennacchia.

She was a graduate of P r i nce ton H igh S cho ol, Golden Beacon Junior College in Wilmington, DE, and American University of Washington, DC. Rina was a trailblazer for working women in the ’70s and ’80s. She rarely accepted “no” when she wanted

to do something, and with tenacit y and aplomb accomplished much in her life. She worked for a short time at ETS in Princeton, NJ, before moving to Washington, DC. She worked for the Urban Institute in its early days helping develop a compensation and classification system, minority recruitment, and affirmative action programs. After 12 years she resigned as Vice President and Corporate Secretary in 1983.

Rina went on to work for Freddie Mac as one of the only female administrators as Director of Administration, Facilities and Real Estate.

She worked for Social and Scientific Systems developing affirmative action programs, restructuring benefit programs, and successfully defending against EEO lawsuits.

She served as the Director of Human Resources for seven years at Howard Hughes Medical Institute where she restructured personnel services, counseled managers, supervisors, and employees in 35 sites and 28 states. By the time she left, HHMI grew to over 3,000 staff and consultants and 72 sites.

She completed her professional career with 10 years at the National Council on Aging (NCOA). As Vice President of Human Resources and Talent Management, this was one of her most rewarding experiences. She retired in May of 2019.

Rina was an avid traveler hav ing v isited Australia ; New Zealand; St. Petersburg, Russia; Austria; Great Britain ; Ireland ; France ; and Spain and especially loved spending time in Ferentino, Italy with family.

She was an avid reader, loved culinary arts, classical music, and truly cared ab out p e ople a n d t h e ir well-being. She was an active member and officer in the Washington Personnel Association (WPA), Societ y for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and the American Societ y of Personnel Administration (ASPA).

Rina was predeceased by her sister, Angela (Pennacchia) Bechtelheimer. Rina is survived by her sister, Patricia Giallella and her husband Victor of Princeton, New Jersey; her niece Jen n ifer C antalupo and husband Michael of South Easton, Massachusetts; her nephew Andrew Giallella of Ocean, New Jersey; her great-niece and goddaughter, Gabriella Cantalupo and a great-nephew Dominick Cantalupo; a dear brotherin-law Paul Bechtelheimer and his wife Christine of Sewell, NJ; longtime friend and companion Christopher Kuhn of Annapolis, Maryland; and several extended cousins in the Taraschi, Zoccola, Caponi, Zorochin, and Merrifield families.

She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

At the request of the family, Rina was privately cremated.

Services have been postponed and will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in Rina’s honor to Dorothea’s House, 120 John Street, Princeton, NJ 08540.

David Alan Jacqmin of Princeton, NJ, passed away on Thursday, December 12, 2019. He was born on October 15, 1947 in Boston, MA, to Harris John Jacqmin and Alice Wheeler Jacqmin. He grew up in Alton, IL; Great Neck, NY; Garden City, NY; Deer Park, TX; and Westport, CT, graduating from Staples High School in 1965.

A f ter mat r icu lat ing at S w a r t h m or e Un i ve r s it y, David earned his BS from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. While he was living in Boston and working as a carpenter, a mutual friend introduced him to his future wife, Maxine Novek.

In 1977, David and Maxine were married in their Winter Hill apartment by the mayor of Somerville.

David earned his PhD in applied physics from Harvard University in 1983, after which the family moved to Shaker Heights, Ohio, where they lived for the next 34 years. After a two-year stint working for Standard Oil of Ohio, he joined NASA Glenn Research Center, where he worked for nearly 30 years before retiring as a principal

let Ada Fishman; and many cousins. Donations may be made in his memory to InMotion (beinmotion.org) and the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes (shakerlakes.org).

David Alan Jacqmin

investigator/senior research engineer in 2014. During his time at NASA, he published numerous research papers.

The paper he considered his best (“Very, Very Fast Wetting”) was published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics in 2002. It showed how it is possible to coat fibers and flat surfaces at very high capillary numbers.

David was also a musician, and — after playing the French horn as a teenager in the Connecticut All State Band — took up the instrument again in the mid-90s.

He played for many years with the Shaker Symphony, a community orchestra. David loved being outdoors, and was always the first to wade into any body of water he came across — regardless of whether or not he’d packed swim trunks. He was an avid traveler, taking his family on numerous trips, perhaps most memorably to Nantucket, the Jersey shore, and Napa Valley. He was a voracious reader who loved James Thurber, Djuna Barnes, “The Wind in the Willows,” “Mistress Masham’s Repose,” and poetry.

And he loved to eat — especially ice cream.

After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2004, David became active with the InMotion nonprofit center and the Parkinson Education Program of Greater Cleveland. He is survived by his wife of almost 43 years, Maxine; daughters Hilary Jacqmin ( husband David Fishman) and Laura Jacqmin (partner James Tasch); sister Deborah Jacqm in Kramer and brother-in-law Gregory Kramer; niece Alex Kramer; granddaughter Vio-

BLOOM WHERE YOU’RE PLANTED AND GROW!!

STOCKTON REAL ESTATE, LLC CURRENT RENTALS *********************************

After 696 weekly LET’S TALK REAL ESTATE columns since November 2006 and given the current situation in the world, it’s time to take a break and change things up!

On the real estate front, our physical office is closed however we continue to take calls, respond to emails and make appointments with clients as needed. Buyers are eager to visit new inventory and to find the perfect home, writing offers when a match is made. Many sellers continue to prepare their homes for buyer showings, albeit at a slower pace. My cues come directly from the customers as people adjust to a new reality.

We are all in unchartered territory, full of stress and anxiety. I feel grateful that Spring is finally here, bringing blooming trees, clear blue skies and warmer temperatures. I will miss catching up with friends, neighbors and clients at our community events but look forward to waving along during walks and bike rides, connecting through personal notes and offering help in any way I can.

I invite you to share with me ideas and topics of discussion that might be of interest to you. My goal every week will be to post poems, inspirational quotes or other thoughts that can brighten our days ahead.

Please keep safe and healthy!

OFFICE RENTALS: Attention: Dissertation Writers $1,600/mo. Heat, Central Air & Parking included.

We have an Office Suite that would be perfect for you and your dissertation. In Princeton, within walking distance to the campus, the Suite is approximately 653 sq. ft. & is divided into a reception area, 2 private offices & private WC. Available now.
