He has been active on the Affordable Housing Board, the Corner House Board, the Housing Authority, the Personnel Committee, the Princeton Alcohol & Drug Alliance, the town’s Public Safety Committee where he serves as Fire Commissioner, and the Affordable Housing Task Force. Ms. Howard, on Borough Council before consolidation, serves as Police Commissioner on the Public Safety Committee, and is also on the town’s Board of Health, Human Services Commission, the Legal Expense Committee, the Local Emergency Planning Committee, and the Pedestrian & Bike Advisory Committee.

“Dream Audaciously” Eisgruber Urges Graduates

Persistent rain on Monday moved Princeton University’s annual Class Day ceremony from outside to inside the University Chapel. But despite Tuesday morning’s raw weather, the University held its 268th Commencement ceremony on the green in front of historic Nassau Hall. A total of 1,268 seniors received undergraduate degrees, while 885 graduate students were awarded advanced degrees on the lawn, the site of the University’s Commencement exercises since 1922. University President Christopher L. Eisgruber presided over the event. Due to the inclement weather, he delivered an abridged version of his address. The full text of his talk is as follows: In a few minutes, all of you will march through FitzRandolph Gate as newly minted graduates of this University. Before you do so, however, it is my pleasure, and my privilege, to say a few words to you about the path that lies ahead. For many Princetonians, the FitzRandolph Gate has an almost metaphysical significance. The gate marks not simply the edge of the campus, but the border between two worlds: on the one side, what students fondly — or sometimes not so fondly — call the “orange bubble,” a beautiful campus blessed with extraordinary

resources, dazzling talent, and heartfelt friendships; and, on the other side, a turbulent world of practical difficulties, ranging from awesome global challenges to mundane personal problems — such as finding an apartment and paying the rent. But of course the barrier between the campus and the world is not, and has never been, so sharp as the metaphor of the orange bubble would suggest. The world finds its way through the bubble,

affecting life on our campus in myriad ways. Princeton, in turn, seeks to project its learning and leadership into the world—to be, as Woodrow Wilson of the Great Class of 1879 said, “Princeton in the nation’s service,” and, as Sonia Sotomayor of the Great Class of 1976 said just last year, “Princeton in the service of humanity.” We saw visible and poignant expression of those connections this year, including Continued on Page 7

“We Will Not Stop Until the Threats Stop” Says Sutter of Recent Phoned-in Threats Threats made in recent weeks to local schools, the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro, Quaker Bridge Mall, a private business and residence have local law enforcement scrambling to determine who is behind these prerecorded messages. While each case so far has been deemed a hoax, police are taking no chances. “This is an absolutely despicable crime that is targeting the most precious of our society — our children,” said Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter, on Monday. “It is certainly causing fear among schools

and families. We are working with federal and state agencies, and have top experts partnering with us, and we will not stop until the threats stop and these people are brought to justice.” The threats have increased across New Jersey in recent weeks. “I don’t use this word often, but from my perspective it certainly is an act of terrorism,” Mr. Sutter said. “It causes fear, has economic repercussions, and makes people afraid to go to public places. It’s quite serious in all of its ramifications.” Continued on Page 14

COLORFUL COMMENCEMENT: A persistent drizzle couldn’t dampen the spirits of the 1,268 undergraduates and 885 graduate students awarded degrees at Princeton University’s 268th Commencement Tuesday. Held, following tradition, on the lawn in front of Nassau Hall, the ceremony also included the awarding of honorary degrees to artist and social activist Harry Belafonte; the University’s Gordon Y.S. Wu Professor of Engineering, Emeritus, David Billington; retired U.S. Army general Ann Dunwoody; former New Jersey Supreme Court justice Deborah Poritz; retired associate justice of the Supreme Court John Paul Stevens; and Peruvian novelist and Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa.

“Meter Has Always Been Full” At Princeton’s First “Parklet” With parking spaces a precious commodity in Princeton, one might expect the temporary removal of two spots from a prime location on Witherspoon Street to inspire a certain amount of grumbling. But a rustic, Adirondack-st yle seating

platform that has materialized in front of Small World Coffee seems to be doing just the opposite. During Princeton University’s Reunions last weekend, alumni and locals found temporary respite from the heat and the crowds at this public “parklet.” They relaxed on the benches and sipped drinks under a row of hanging plants. Invited to feed the two parking meters to show support for future examples of this kind of public art, they dug into their pockets.

A joint effort of the municipality, the Arts Council of Princeton, local architect Kirsten Thoft, landscape artist Peter Soderman, George Akers of Material Design Build, and other volunteers, the parklet will be in place from two to four months. The project follows along the lines of other “street seats” in San Francisco, Vancouver, S eat tle, and Philadelphia. The Witherspoon Street parklet is the first of its kind in Princeton, though a miniature version was briefly installed last summer. While collaborators admit to some grousing from the public over the loss of two parking spaces, those complaints are in the minority so far. “I don’t have official numbers of the meter collection, but anecdotally I’ve checked every time I’m there, and the meter has always been full,” said Mayor Liz Lempert. “The response has been fantastic. The artists and architects who built it did a magical job. You can see people break into a smile when they see it.” Maria Evans, artistic director of the Arts Council of Princeton, said she has heard “a little bit of complaining. Its people’s kneejerk reaction, where they say ‘I can’t believe you took a parking space’ but then they say ‘But it’s really cool, I can live with that.’ From what’s been on Twitter and Facebook, the general public’s opinion is at least 95 percent positive.” It was Ms. Lempert who suggested the idea for the parklet to Jeff Nathanson, executive director of the Arts

Council. After being put on the back burner for a while, the concept was revisited when Ms. Evans invited Ms. Durrie and her husband, Mr. Akers, over for dinner one night. “I knew if I could get her support as a merchant that the Small World location would be great for the maiden voyage,” Ms. Evans recalled. “They were on board. He’s a master carpenter and terrific builder, and I knew he’d build a great structure. Then we talked to Peter Soderman, and he was completely in.” Ms. Evans met with Princeton Planning Director Lee Solow, who helped coordinate the project. “He was terrific. He told me we

needed an architect and that’s where Kirsten Thoft got involved. All of these people worked pro bono. The town paid for materials, but everything else was for free. Lots of favors were used up.” By the time Ms. Thoft came on board, ideas for the design of the parklet were already in place. “They wanted something temporary, but that could be re-used,” she said. “My involvement was to make sure everyone was on the same page regarding safety, ADA compliance, and those kinds of concerns. So it was not about my personal vision. And these things are a large part of what an architect does, anyway.” But Ms. Thoft likes the design, and compares the project to the pop-up beach that appears during summers along the Seine in Paris. “I think it’s part of a continuum of public park spaces,” she said. “It can be re-used and turned into something else, which was part of the intention. These things are becoming more popular.” T he park let was bu ilt at the firehouse on Harrison Street. “After we had Kirsten’s drawings, we started parceling out the work,” said Ms. Evans. “The Public Works department made the platforms, and George built it at the firehouse a few weeks ahead. A colleague and I stained the whole thing. It was a coming together of everybody’s dedication to get the thing done in time for Reunions, which Jessica wanted.” The project was installed last Saturday, and a formal dedication will take place tomorrow (Thursday) at 5 p.m. Along with the benches and tree-trunk tables that are under an overhang, there is additional seating outside the overhang. Ferns in treetrunk planters and succulents planted in chunks of logs are part of the verdant setting. Ms. Evans is adding pieces of art to the parklet. “I will invite artists who can do work that is visible from all sides and weatherproof,” she said. “It could really be a fun thing.” Also planned is a system for parking bikes and a dog hitching post. As for the idea of asking the public to fund future public art projects by feeding the meters, that came from an unexpected source. “I teach art at Stuart Country Day School, and my students came up with the idea of not closing the meters,” Ms. Evans said. “So now, the sculptor Bob Evans is making a Venus flytrap shell to go on the meters, so people will have fun feeding them. It’s been incredible the way people are putting money in.” Ms. Evans hopes future parklets will draw other artists, architects, and designers with new ideas. “Like Jazams — wouldn’t it be fun to make it an extension of the toy store?” she asked. “I think maybe with the merchants it will change from space to space. We need to go forward and figure out how to fund this thing in the future.” —Anne Levin

a Princeton tradition!

Question of the Week:

“Has Princeton changed — or stayed the same — since you graduated?”

Peter: “The first and most important change is the female population on campus. I also think they have done a wonderful job expanding the campus, particularly to the south. This is the first P-Rade I have attended in a long time, and the whole event is just out of sight. Princeton remains Princeton. It’s an absolutely beautiful campus in a lovely town setting.” —Peter Papademetriou, Class of 1965, with wife Tessa Namuth, New York City

“I really appreciate the greater diversity and the celebration of gay and lesbian and transgender folks. Princeton has come into the world.” —Pippa Vanderstar, Philadelphia, Class of 1985, with unidentified PU student

“The establishment of Whitman College. What a magnificent residential college. I love the fact that the kids have a chance to live in a four-year residential college. It sort of expands their dining and social opportunities. We keep just getting more and more diverse and it’s awesome.” —Nabi Moghadam, Bryn Mawr, Pa., Class of 1995

“The new Wawa and the construction going on along Alexander Road is definitely a big change. I’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s all finished.” —Genevieve Bentc, Washington, D.C., Class of 2012

Asha: “There are more and better restaurants in town. We ate this morning at the new Jammin Crepes. Give them a shout out. When I was in school, there were no Indian restaurants and now there are a few really great ones. As far as the campus changes, Whitman College is amazing, and Frist Student Center didn’t exist — it’s been a tremendous boost for student life.” —Asha Rangappa (R), Hamden, Conn., Class of 1996, with Trisha Alcamo, Larchmont, N.Y., Class of 1996

emotional campus protests demanding justice for black men and women in America. These student-led actions carried forward a tradition of political engagement on this campus that is more than two centuries old — a tradition that expressed Princeton’s connections to the world beyond FitzRandolph Gate long before the gate itself ever existed. Indeed, on the day when the Class of 1765 graduated almost exactly 250 years ago from what was then called the College of New Jersey, its members protested British tax policy by resolving to purchase only Americanmade clothing. In the years that followed, the connections between Princeton and the outside world manifested themselves in a variety of ways, sometimes loud and noisy, sometimes almost invisible. In 1938, for example, the New York Times reported that although students and faculty earlier in the week protested the University’s decision to award an honorary degree to New Jersey Governor Arthur Harry Moore, the commencement ceremonies on June 21 were placid and beautiful. According to the Times, more than 2,000 people gathered that day in front of Nassau Hall while “sunshine splashed through tall trees” and “orange canvas across the front of the platform hid all but the ears of the great bronze tigers that have kept guard there for 29 of the building’s 181 years.” The orange bubble indeed! While

gentle sunlight washed over orange canvas at Nassau Hall, storm clouds gathered in Asia and Europe, where events would soon plunge the world into a horrific war and unleash one of history’s most awful genocides. The Times that year listed Princeton’s undergraduate prizewinners in astonishing detail — naming not only the Pyne Honor Prize winner but also more obscure honorees, such as the recipient of the Leroy Gifford Kellogg Cup for Sportsmanship, Play and Influence in Freshman Baseball. The article, however, said not a word about Princeton’s graduate degree recipients. Readers would therefore have no clue that among the 52 students receiving doctoral degrees that afternoon was a young English mathematician named Alan Mathison Turing. And had they known, they probably would not have cared. Dr. Turing’s thesis was titled “Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals.” It is amusing to speculate about how Governor Moore might have reacted if, after accepting his honorary degree, he had been introduced to the English doctoral student. Perhaps the governor would have complained, as politicians often do today, that Princeton was wasting its money by sponsoring dissertations on abstract topics such as “Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals,” rather than on more practical subjects with immediate application. Governor Moore might have b een s u r pr is e d to discover that, even while completing some of the most celebrated doctoral

research in the history of this University, the brilliant young mathematician could not ignore the world beyond the FitzRandolph Gate. Disturbed by the prospect of war in Europe, Turing began experimenting at Princeton with the construction of novel machines that might be used to encrypt information. A fellow graduate student gave him access to the physics department’s machine shop and taught him to use a lathe. In lighter moments, Turing and his friends in the Graduate College constructed treasure hunts based on elaborate puzzles. One of Turing’s fellow graduate students, Shaun Wylie, was so clever at these games that Turing recruited him to help with the project that occupied him after his return to England. As has happened so many times before Turing and after him, a friendship THE SIGN SAYS IT ALL: It’s 68 P-Rades and counting for this member of the Great Class of 1947, cooling his heels here with his significant other.

formed in moments of leisure during tranquil times at Princeton endured and mattered in more urgent circumstances beyond its gates. Those of you who made it far enough from the orange bubble to get to a movie theater will know something about Turing’s postPrinceton project. Turing’s story is told in The Imitation Game, which, I have to say, must be the first Hollywood blockbuster ever based on a book written by a University of Oxford mathematician about a Princeton Universi-

ty graduate school alumnus and published by the Princeton University Press. Turing’s genius made him indispensable to the war effort as a code-breaker — an assignment he shared, as it happens, with one of today’s honorary degree recipients, John Paul Stevens, who was awarded a Bronze Star for breaking Japanese codes. Turing led the team that decrypted the Enigma cypher. It is perhaps an exaggeration, but if so only a mild one, to say that this brilliant doctoral student’s work both saved civilization from the Nazis and laid the conceptual foundation for the digi-

tal revolution. Not bad for a graduate student working on esoteric topics in theoretical mathematics. If you have seen The Imitation Game, you also know that the exterior world impinged on Alan Turing’s life within the orange bubble in another, exceedingly cruel way by forcing him to repress his sexual identity. These injustices led eventually to a criminal conviction and suicide at the age of 41. Turing’s biographer, Andrew Hodges, writes that the young mathematician’s social life at Princeton was “a charade. Like any homosexual man [of the time], he was living an imitation game.” Forced to seek acceptance “as a person that he was not …. [H]is autonomous selfhood [was] compromised and infringed.” Sixty-one years after Turing’s death, we live in a more tolerant society. Indeed, thanks partly to legal precedents established by today’s honorary degree recipients John Paul Stevens and Deborah Poritz, we may hope that we can soon see a day when all Americans can express their sexual identities freely and without fear of discrimination or violence. Yet, though the world you enter today is far different from the one that greeted Alan Turing in 1938, your world, too, is fraught with disturbing challenges. Human activity strains the environment. Violence plagues many parts of the planet. Inequality is near an all-time high in many countries, including this one. Over the past year, multiple police killings of black

men have seared our nation in what the president of the United States has called a “slow-rolling crisis.” The crisis that we face today is only the latest iteration of a challenge embedded deeply within the history and the soul of the American nation. From its inception, the diversity of this nation challenged its leaders and tested the limits of republican governance. At the time of the country’s founding, most political theorists and many Americans believed that democracies could flourish only if they were small and homogenous. James Madison of the Class of 1771, who lived and studied in Nassau Hall, famously argued that a large and diverse republic could protect liberty more effectively than a small one. His tenth Federalist Paper became a classic of political science and a foundational document in American history. But Madison’s solution was at best a partial one, for he never squarely confronted the great injustice of slavery or the challenge of racial inequality. Two hundred and twelve years after James Madison earned his undergraduate degree, the Association of Black Pr inceton A lu m ni gave to this University a bust of Frederick Douglass. The bust now sits adjacent to this courtyard in Stanhope Hall, the University’s third oldest building, which has in recent years been the home of Princeton’s Center for African American Studies and which yesterday became, by unanimous vote of Princeton’s Board of Trustees, the home of this University’s Department of African

American Studies. Douglass expressed America’s aspirations as passionately and emphatically as anyone. He insisted, in the face of slavery and inequality and all of the manifest flaws in American politics, that the Constitution was rightly interpreted to guarantee the rights and liberties of all people. In a speech given in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1860, he said, “The Constitution says: ‘We the people’ … not we the white people, not we the citizens, not we the privileged class, not we the high, not we the low, not we of English extraction, not we of French or of Scotch extraction, but ‘we the people.’” Douglass dared to express an utterly audacious dream — the dream that all of us, despite our differences and our conflicts and our sins against one another, could come together as one people, united by a commitment to liberty. His vision was beautiful and profound and undaunted by the ugly circumstances of his time. A mer ica has since its birth been a land of diversity and a land of audacious dreamers. It has benefited again and again from men and women who shared, against all odds, the dream that we might transcend our differences and yet be one people. It has benefited, too, from individuals who dared to believe that scholarship and education could generate the progress, the discoveries and the leaders who will help to solve our most difficult problems in our darkest hours. W hen you march out FitzRandolph Gate a few

moments from now, you w ill march into a world that urgently requires your commitment to dream audaciously. We hear a great deal these days about the need for what is practical, functional and utilitarian. I understand that. You really do have to find apartments and you do — you most certainly do — have to pay the rent. But I hope you will also find time to pursue ideals that are beautiful and profound, not just for their own sake, but because, as Alan Turing and Frederick Douglass remind us in their different ways, the beautiful and the profound are sometimes far more powerful and beneficial than all the things that the conventional world praises in the name of pragmatic utility. And so it is with an eye toward the beautiful and the profound that we gather here today, bursting with joy amidst the turmoil of the outside world, to congratulate you on your achievements and wish you well as you begin your journeys beyond this campus. My colleagues and I on the faculty and in the administration, and my fellow alumni and trustees, hope you will carry the spirit of Princeton into the world, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Princeton whenever you return. We feel great confidence in your ability to meet the challenges that lie ahead, for on this special and auspicious day, you — our graduate students and our undergraduate seniors — are now, and shall be forever into the future, Princeton University’s Great Class of 2015. Congratulations and best wishes!

Mailbox Residents Urging School Board to Reduce Teachers’ Upfront Premium Contributions

To the Editor: This Tuesday, June 2, negotiators for the Princeton Board of Education and PREA, the teachers’ union, meet one last time to try to agree on a contract before bringing in a costly fact-finder. A key outstanding issue is the manner in which the Board will compensate teachers for the rising cost of health insurance. We urge the Board to reduce teachers’ upfront premium contributions, as we believe this is the best protection against a repeat of this year’s corrosive negotiations.

Under Chapter 78, a 2011 state law, a Princeton teacher earning $78,000 a year (the 2014 average district salary) pays between 23 percent and 33 percent of his or her insurance premiums, reducing take-home pay by $4000 to $7500. These rates, combined with previously-agreedto austerity measures, mean that some district teachers’ take-home pay is less now than it was eight or nine years ago. To their credit, the Board has responded to this financial strain by offering to offset teachers’ premium contributions. But rather than reducing teachers’ paycheck deductions, the Board proposes salary stipends or reimbursements. Why does this matter? Money is money. What difference does it make if the Board wants to give a stipend instead of reducing premium payments? As it turns out, it makes a big difference. Since 2010, New Jersey has capped localities’ annual tax increases at 2 percent, roughly equivalent to inflation; voters must approve any amount over that limit. But the law also grants discretionary waivers for costs local officials can’t control, including health care. Each year since 2010, over 40 percent of New Jersey municipalities have used such exceptions to exceed the 2 percent limit. Even the current Princeton municipal budget is 4 percent higher than last year’s, thanks partly to the health care waiver. Money spent to reduce teachers’ premium contributions could help the district qualify for a health care waiver in the future, which the Board could choose to use or not. Stipends, in contrast, would not count towards a waiver, and would come from general funds. It’s not hard to imagine how this would play out in the next round of teacher contract negotiations. Health care relief would be pitted against the district’s other needs, producing more of the rancor and frustration we have witnessed over the past year. As Princeton residents, we know that our property values – not to mention our quality of life – depend on the excellence of our public schools. Moreover, the cost of a health care waiver for the individual taxpayer need not be high. This spring, for instance, the Board used a $400,000 health care waiver that increased the property taxes on an $800,560 home (Princeton’s average assessed home value) by less than $39 a year. We consider this a small price to pay to safeguard the quality of our public education.

An Engineer Remembers John Nash Coming Up With Impromptu Answer

To the Editor: I am an engineer. In 2005 I was involved in a company designing high-speed computer networking hardware and systems. Coming down to the old “Dinky” train station in Princeton, I encountered John Nash. I had known his son John since he was 15. He asked me what I am doing. After telling him some of the challenges of doing high speed, he replied, “Have you thought of this?” What he described is now known as channel bonding, but after two years of working on this project we had not considered it. A beautiful mind indeed, that could come up with an instant answer in an impromptu meet-up. Dr. Nash was quite sane and clear-minded at that time and remained so until his tragic death. He was not always so. For years I had seen him walking along Nassau Street slowly and laconically, often chain-smoking. Or he was in Firestone Library’s lobby sitting and staring. The scene was repetitive and boring. A day in the life of the real John Nash was not the material for an entertaining movie. But in our meeting, he also said, “You know my son John suffers from mental illness.” And he said it as if he had never been there and done that! When the movie A Beautiful Mind was made, I signed on for a bit part, that of an academic. We were on the set 19 hours one day and got digitally multiplied to look like an auditorium full of 2500 people. The filming was done in the Newark Performing Arts Center, which was used to represent an auditorium in Scandinavia. After about a dozen hours of hurry-up-and-wait and only one meal, a lot of the extras were getting crotchety. For me, it helped having been a graduate student, since we had become immune to horribly long hours! How did John, Sr. snap out of insanity and futility? He claims that he did not use drugs and I had good corroboration that that is true. In the movie, Nash says he knows he has a problem, but that he will solve it, because that is what he does. The psychiatrist replies, “You will not solve it because the problem is with your mind.” That was 1950s psychiatry. Today, thanks to tools we did not have in 1950 such as functional MRI, we know the brain is made of components. Some may be functioning well and others not. Nash used some functioning parts of his mind to test others. If he observed a situation, he asked several other persons what they perceived. If they agreed with what he saw, he said to himself, it is confirmed. If several agreed with each other but not with him, he said, I reject this. After a while, he snapped out of it. A “self-exorcism?’ Not many have the ability to do this, but in effect this seems to be what happened in the case of John Nash. Arch Davis Vandeventer Avenue

To the Editor: I would like to bring attention to the fact that the Arts Council of Princeton has almost no classes for working adults. I was currently enrolled in a comic workshop, and my mom wanted to join. She was dismayed to find out that it was only for pre-teens and teens. The Arts Council had suggested that she look for any other classes she would be interested in, but there were none that would fit her schedule. You see, during the weekdays, most classes for adults are between 9 a.m. and noon. As most know, a working adult usually starts work at 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. or later as well as making time for family and chores. These classes are opened to teenagers too. Approximately 20 percent of the classes are in weekends, 22 percent at night, and the others are in the morning while approximately 25 percent are in the early afternoons of weekdays, which is not a convenient time either. Some working adults want to take a class, but are not allowed due to the time constraints. These adults want to learn something new or continue a class in art but the Arts Council feels that they will be able to gain more money from the new generation rather than the old one. Regarding the classes on the weekends, a number of them take all day, 9:30am-4:30 p.m. Most adults would choose a movie day or family time over a seven-hour class. Although the Princeton Adult School offers classes such as these, this is no excuse for the Arts Council not to cater to other potential clients as they also have interesting and diverse classes adults would like that are taught by professionals in the business. This issue must be addressed as it will allow for the arts community to grow as well as adding new revenue for the Arts Council by focusing on a different target audience. With classes available for working adults, some high-profile men or women might make a donation to the arts community, too. I suggest that the Arts Council should look to the future and the possibility that this program might strengthen the community in the arts by offering classes to adults from 7:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m. Rachel Bierman Grover Avenue

Close to a Solution on 31-33 Lytle Street Involving Nationally Renowned Builder

To the Editor: Over the past two months a group of residents has sought a compromise solution for 31-33 Lytle Street that would retain the porch, façade, character and scale of its 1870’s house, provide two units of badly needed affordable housing, and still expand Mary Moss Playground (MMP) which has occupied the corner of Lytle and John Streets for about 80 years. We are now very close to a solution involving a nationally renowned builder of low cost housing. The projected

economics of this project will provide Princeton with two units of affordable housing at a cost lower than what the Town has paid over the last 3-4 years. It was believed 2025 years ago that there should not be too much affordable housing concentrated in the Witherspoon-Jackson area. Now the neighborhood has changed with a real diversity of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class. Every study as well as common sense says that this is a great benefit for low income families and their children. The vast majority of neighborhood residents who have spoken at two Princeton Council meetings, a special session on this subject, and last Saturday’s meeting of the W-J Association have spoken strongly in favor of additional affordable housing in their area. Lytle Street is just a short walk from jobs in downtown Princeton; elementary, middle and high schools; the library; and the Arts Council. So far, Princeton Council has not proactively picked up on this idea, but rather proposed expanding MMP across the whole property — to which most neighborhood residents are strongly opposed. Community Park with playground equipment, both large and toddler pools, is just a few blocks north; there is a small playground behind the Y and Dorothea’s House a few blocks south; and the open space owned by the University leading to Stanworth is even closer. If you care about these issues please come out and speak for 2-3 minutes at the Princeton Council meeting on Monday June 8 at 7 p.m. This will be our last chance to make the best use of 31-33 Lytle Street, a scarce piece of land in downtown Princeton.

Would You Stop Shopping at McCaffrey’s Because of a 10-cent Bag Ordinance?

To the Editor: I was delighted to learn that this August McCaffrey’s will celebrate its 23rd year as a member of the Princeton Community. McCaffrey’s is fortunate to be able to implement its desires to do the right things for the community and our Earth. I applaud them for that action. With a record of a 3:1 vote to support a bag ordinance and the use of a fee, we residents should have that right. Opponents in the plastics industry work hard to fight bag ordinances at the local level because they work. The argument that is often voiced to convince local elected officials not to enact a ban is to let grocers and merchants reduce single use bag use voluntarily. But voluntary measures don’t work, bag ordinances work. Those that enact a fee, result in a 60-90 percent reduction of bag use. McCaffrey’s has a rebate program and offers reusable bags. Both policies are commendable; however, these policies, like education, don’t result in creating a real, measurable impact. If they did, we would have statistics to show a significant reduction in the number of single bags that McCaffrey’s buys. To date, I do not believe that a single grocery chain in the U.S. has verifiable numbers showing a bag ordinance passed in their local town hurt their business. McCaffrey’s is 3.8 miles from the Shop Rite and 6 miles from Wegman’s. Gas costs approximately $2.57 a gallon and the average MPG is 24 miles. A McCaffrey shopper would have to spend .40 cents (4 bags) to go to Shoprite, and 80 cents (8 bags) to go to Wegman’s. Does it really seem plausible that a McCaffrey’s customer, possibly one shopping there for years would undertake the expense and inconvenience to not shop at our local, loved McCaffreys? I frequent both local grocers shopping at McCaffrey’s because it is a local store that provides unique value. I love picking up specialty desserts without a pre-order, running into my friends and knowing the Manager Steve Carney and

Valley Road Bike Path Plan Could Be Dangerous for Residents, Users

To the Editor: I write to support the concerns of Valley Road residents who find the proposed asphalt bike path, which will replace the pedestrian sidewalk, as environmentally intrusive, unnecessary, and unaesthetic. I want to raise additional safety concerns that are being ignored. The first is the inability of residents on the bikelane side of Valley to safely walk from their homes. If they walk along the bike path, they may get hit since they have no right-of-way. If they cross the road, then they are jaywalking and at high risk from the high traffic volume and excessive speeding. They have no pedestrian rights. For children, these safety issues are a concern and, in fact, makes it almost impossible for my grandchildren to visit and go to the shopping center. Users of this “bike path to nowhere” also face dangers of being hit at cross-streets unless they dismount and walk their bikes across intersections that have some of the highest accident rates in town. Hardly a useable bike path. I myself am an avid biker and a “share the road” bike lane would meet all the needs of bike users, as has been done everywhere else in town. In fact in the 38 years I’ve lived on Valley Road, I’ve observed a very limited number of bike riders. The rebuilding of Valley Road offers many opportunities to reduce traffic and excessive speeding, and thereby improve the quality of life for residents. Over the last 10 years there has been a huge increase in traffic using Valley Road as a bypass between Route 206 and Harrison, which isn’t its designated role in the town’s master plan, and often travelling in excess of 40 mph when there is a 25 mph speed limit. Sensible solutions exist: adding 4-way stop signs at cross streets would slow traffic and wouldn’t impact emergency vehicles using sirens; adding a “share the road” bike lane would effectively address the needs of bike riders; closing off Valley Road for Route 206 north-traveling vehicles would reduce using Valley Road as a by-pass (as was suggested after the Township building was completed). These are solutions that improve the neighborhood. Yet we’re hearing of plans that negatively impact the neighborhood. I join my fellow residents in urging Mayor Lempert and the town’s engineers to consider the significant negative impacts and safety concerns raised by this bike path and to withdraw this plan.

some of the staff by first name. As a mother of a special needs child, the fact that they employ special needs individuals is appealing. I feel “community” at McCaffrey’s. When discussing the bag ordinance, with a merchant, resident or individual that works in Princeton, I poll them to see why they shop at McCaffreys. The replies: McCaffrey’s has great quality and variety of prepared foods. The store has an extensive salad bar with fresh fruit, vegetables, greens, and interesting salads. Convenience and good parking. It is our local grocer — you run into everyone. Organic and kosher food offerings. McCaffrey’s has excellent customer service. They treat their employees well and that translates into very friendly employees.·They listen to customers. Does it seem possible that all the good will created over 23 years could be undone by a 10 cent bag ordinance? Would you stop shopping there over a 10 cent charge? Bainy Suri Chestnut Street

Teen Suggests That the Arts Council Offer More Classes for Working Adults

TEENS AT WORK: Participants in a recent workday in Princeton’s Herrontown Woods included 30 sixth-to-twelfth graders from the Stone Hill Church of Princeton and the Central Church in Ewing. They cleared brush near the abandoned house once owned by famed mathematician Oswald Veblen. Stone Hill Church has collaborated with the Friends of Herrontown Woods (FOHW) over the past year, building a spur trail from the church into the woods, and taking children on nature walks. The work day was led by the Friends of Herrontown Woods. The Rotary Club of Princeton played host to 18 of the volunteers — from Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, India and South Korea — who are participants in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program at four Rotary clubs in New Jersey.

“Too Deep for Tears” — The Long Journey of John and Alicia Nash

esponding to the deaths of John and Alicia Nash in a May 23 accident on the New Jersey Turnpike, Jennifer Connelly, the actress who won an Oscar playing Alicia in the Academy-Award-winning film version of Sylvia Nasar’s A Beautiful Mind (Simon & Schuster 1998), calls the couple “an inspiration” and refers to “all that they accomplished in their lives.” Russell Crowe, who played John Nash in the film, refers to their “amazing partnership. Beautiful minds, beautiful hearts.” Both statements go straight to the spirit of the extraordinary six-decades-long relationship with a force lacking in obituaries that focused on the trials and triumphs of the husband. Having lived the roles, Connelly and Crowe were able to do justice to the couple by stressing words like inspiration, partnership, minds, and hearts. A Hothouse Orchid According to Nasar, the couple’s story began at MIT where the mathematics faculty included Nash, who had earned his doctorate at Princeton in 1950 with a 27-page thesis on game theory that would lead to a Nobel Prize in 1994. Alicia was a physics majors hoping to become a nuclear scientist at a time when coeds at MIT “wore cocktail dresses and high heels while dissecting rats in the lab.” In that environment Alicia “glowed like a hothouse orchid …. Delicate and feminine, with pale skin and dark eyes, she exuded both innocence and glamour, a fetching shyness as well as a definite sense of self-possession, polish, and elegance” She carried herself like “an El Salvadoran princess with a sense of noblesse oblige.” It would seem that Nash never had a chance. Nor did she, as she admitted in the PBS documentary A Brilliant Madness (2002): “At the time, he was a little bit like the fairhaired boy of the math department …. And he was very nice looking.” Princeton Junction They were married in 1957 in Washington, D.C. By the time a son was born in 1959, Nash was undergoing the first of a series of involuntary commitments to psychiatric hospitals that would include Carrier and Trenton State, where he was hospitalized after the couple moved to Princeton in 1960. The strain of dealing with Nash’s psychosis eventually led Alicia to divorce him in 1963. Seven years later when she was living “literally across the road from the railroad station” in Princeton Junction, she offered to let Nash live with her, “moved by pity, loyalty, and the realization that no one else on earth would take him in.” Quoted by Nasar in a chapter epigraph, Nash admitted as much, “I have been sheltered here and thus avoided homelessness.” Besides contributing what he could to expenses, Nash helped his 12-year-old son Johnny with his homework, played chess, and rode the Dinky into Princeton, where he became known as “the phantom of Fine Hall” and “the mad genius of Firestone.” Bartleby at Firestone The man I saw day and night at the Firestone Library in the late 1970s seemed to be everywhere I looked. It would be hard to imagine a more unprepossessing person, always wearing the same yellow-brown plaid shirt, always with an almost surreal

air of passive obstinacy, like a library-born version of Herman Melville’s live-in Wall Street clerk Bartleby whose answer to everything is “I would prefer not to.” Whether haunting the reference room or the card catalogue or the third floor stacks, he was somehow eternally in residence. I had no idea who he was until I saw the photographs of Nash in A Beautiful Mind. There was the same plaid shirt, the same air of having wandered to the far side of reality, as if he were an inanimate object waiting to be moved to a position of conclusive significance on the cosmic chess board. In the womb-like recesses of Firestone’s third-floor, those cramped quarters teeming with “quaint and curious volumes,” it’s not easy to ignore the other inhabitants, and while I never exchanged greetings with the man in the plaid shirt, there were nods and looks of vague acknowledgment. The office where I worked during the day and had all to myself at night was located next

preferred not to. I can still hear an echo of Bartleby’s mantra at the end of A Brilliant Madness when Nash seems to startle himself with his thoughts about the future. “I don’t know what the future holds exactly,” he says; then, with a scarily revealing gesture, somewhere between a grimace, a shudder, and a graveyard laugh, he adds, “even if it’s not such a long future — for me.” As he goes on, putting some distance between himself and the subtle convulsion of the moment when he acknowledged in spite of himself that his would not be “a long future,” his words seem to trail off into a void, “Of course, the future in general is presumably long — unless things really go bad — or unless some miracle happens.” Shortly before that last halting, one-onone moment with Nash, A Brilliant Madness offers an alternate farewell in a video of the Nobel Prize ceremony when, after the presentation of the medal, he bows

to that of historian Charles Gillespie, who is quoted in Beautiful Mind to the effect that Nash “almost always headed for the third floor stacks, in a section of the library devoted to religion and philosophy,” where Gillespie “always said good morning” and “Nash was always silent.” Last Words In A Brilliant Madness, when Nash faces the camera, up close, he appears to have moved well away from the spookily intransigent Bartleby; he’s older, greyer, sadder and wiser, less guarded, more willing to appear vulnerable, and though he might “prefer not to,” he offers brief comments about the lost years and the years to come, admitting, that “in madness,” he saw himself “as some sort of messenger, or having a special function. Like the Muslim concept with Muhammad, the messenger of Allah.” Referring to his protracted remission, he says “I don’t really remember the chronology very well, exactly when I moved from one type of thinking to another. I began arguing with the concept of the voices. And ultimately I began rejecting them and deciding not to listen.” In other words, he

three times, to the front, the left and the right, holding the prize, a gesture at once formally precise and gently graceful, after which we hear the voice of fellow mathematician Princeton professor Erhan Çinlar on the soundtrack: “He shined very brightly as a young man. Then he had his illness. And he is now a very pleasant, accomplished gentleman. It feels right somehow.” Together They began as teacher and student, became husband and wife, then housemates, and in 2001 husband and wife again. In her last chapter, Nasar celebrates a marriage, “the most mysterious of human relationships,” summing it up (circa the late 1990s): Alicia is “strong-minded, pragmatic, and independent,” yet her “girlish infatuation has survived the disillusionments, hardships, and disappointments.” She takes her husband shopping for clothes, “frets when he travels,” spends four hours in the ER with him “when his ankle swells from a sprain.” Meanwhile he “sets his clock by her. Stubborn, reserved, self-centered, and jealous of his time (and money) as he is, Nash does nothing with-

out consulting Alicia first, defers to her wishes, and tries to help her, whether it is by washing the dishes, straightening out a problem at the bank, or going with her to family therapy.” At the time Nasar was writing and apparently right up to May 23, 2015, the Nashes found themselves sharing a familiar burden in the plight of their mathematically gifted schizophrenic son John Charles “Johnny” Nash, now 56, who would grow up to be treated with “the newest generation of drugs” that enabled him, “for the most part, to stay out of the hospital,” but “have not given him a life.” For his parents, it was “a constant disruption,” the way he both “drew them together and tore them apart,” generating “deep conflicts” that caused them to blame each other for his misbehavior — “when he destroys things in the house, attacks them, acts inappropriately in public.” There is the inevitable good cop/bad cop syndrome, but “they rely on each other. They agree every day on what one or the other should do. They also agree when it is time to hospitalize him,” and when it’s time to go to a pharmacy for his meds, they go together. A House on Aiken Watching the DVD of Ron Howard’s film version of A Beautiful Mind, I recognized the house the production staff used for the exterior of the home occupied by the Nashes when they moved to Princeton. Located on Aiken Street next to Harrison Street Park, it’s the same house my wife and I once considered renting. We’d been living around the corner on Patton Avenue with our infant son who spent many happy hours playing in the sandbox and on the swings at the park. You can see the park gate in the film and the sidewalk my son would run along, never in a straight line, always zigging and zagging, and of course now and then tripping and falling on the uneven pavement no matter how alert we were to his giddy, happy, random movements. There was no containing him, really. He was determined to pick things up, eat every berry in sight, smell every flower, pet every dog. All very normal, though looking back it’s easy to imagine that his fearless heedless way of going at the world might suggest early signs of the illness that makes us familiar with phrases like “drew them together and tore them apart,” and “good cop bad cop.” n the end, no matter how watchful a parent or person you are, no matter how many hazards you anticipate, no matter how often you’re tempted to think the world makes sense, there’s not much you can do when things spin out of control, whether it’s a child’s mind or a taxi on the turnpike. Though she was writing some 20 years ago, Sylvia Nasar found a fitting epigraph for the Nashes and the rest of us in the lines from Wordworth’s “Intimations of Immortality,” which accompanies her dedication of A Beautiful Mind to Alicia Nash: “Another race hath been, and other palms are won./Thanks to the human heart by which we live,/Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,/To me the meanest flower that blows can give/Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.” —Stuart Mitchner

BOOK REVIEW

Last month, John Witherspoon Middle School, Riverside Elementary School, Johnson Park Elementary, and Princeton High School were each the target of threats, known as “swatting” because they draw a heightened response from a SWAT team. After thorough investigations by law enforcement, no suspicious activity was found at any of the schools. On May 27, the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro was put in lockdown after an automated phone call to New Jersey State Police said there were gunmen in the hospital and parking lot. A “code silver” was issued and there were rumors that someone had been

huge public safety concern. I’ve seen it before, but this is something new.” The police are working with other agencies to try and teach the public how to best deal with the phoned-in threats. “What we’ve been suggesting to the community, merchants, and the schools is that when a call comes in or is suspected, it’s important to remember specifics,” Mr. Sutter said. “Record the information that is given, the phone number, the information that comes up on the caller ID, and the sound of the voice, and give that information to the police department.” Some two dozen threats in all have been documented in New Jersey over the past year. Among the targeted locations were schools in Holmdel, Ridgewood, and

Farmingdale, as well as the Garden State Mall. The Office of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have been aiding the New Jersey State Police and municipal police departments such as Princeton in investigating the incidents. “We know that there are towns nationwide that are getting these, so that’s certainly an avenue we’re examining,” Mr. Sutter. “We’re working with different agencies, comparing all the data, and that’s definitely helpful in several ways. I’m confident that we’ll get to the bottom of it. It’s just really hurtful and has tremendous repercussions for the community.” —Anne Levin

A day later, shoppers at Quaker Bridge Mall were evacuated for two hours after a call came in from what appeared to be a computer-generated voice. K-9 units from the New Jersey State Police, the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, and the Princeton Police Department searched but did not find any explosive devices. Similar hoaxes have taken place in recent years, but the current threats are different. “I’ve been doing a lot of research on this, and it’s been going on for some time,” said Mr. Sutter. “This takes the old-fashioned type of bomb threat that we’ve dealt with forever to a new level.

According to Kirkus Reviews, Mr. Schulman’s new book, The Local Economy Solution, “asserts that ‘economic development today is completely broken.’ Citing the 750-fold increase in subsidies for the movie industry over the past decade, the author debunks the myths circulated to support attracting business in this way, and he argues that such deals do not create jobs but rather take more money out of communities than they bring in...A practical overview of the untapped potentials of a substantial part of the economy.” Mr. Hesterman is the president and CEO of Fair Food Network. $2 off each drink anditem each menu item $2 off each drink and each menu Michael A.

Art Another Unique Exploration of N.J. History On Display at Morven Museum and Garden Where else but Princeton’s Morven Museum & Garden would you fi nd an exhibition devoted entirely to the history of chairmaking in New Jersey? Even though the museum’s staff is currently working behind the scenes on what promises to be a landmark show this fall, they have brought in a guest curator for a small and informative exploration of the history of chair making in New Jersey that will run through the summer until mid-October. In spite of its cumbersome title, “Of the Best Materials and Good Workmanship: 19th- Centur y New Jersey Chairmaking” (derived from an 1828 newspaper advertisement of Morristown chair maker J. D. Humphreyville), the exhibition showcases some of the most sleek and elegant examples of t he chair maker’s craf t from the 1790s to the end of the 19th century. The show came about after the museum was contacted by a New Jersey collector who offered his chairs for display. “We saw his collection and thought it was an excellent idea; to his items, others were added,” said Morven’s Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Elizabeth Allan. Formerly of Winterthur and now engaged in New Jersey historic projects, guest curator Joseph W. Hammond was called in to review and make selections from the private collection and to seek out appropriate additions from sources across the state. About half of the items on display come from a single private collection and the rest from multiple sources. “It’s not just about chairs but about chair-making in New Jersey, including regional characteristics,” said Mr. Hammond. “Chairmakers once worked in virtually every corner of the Garden State, from large cities and towns to small crossroad communities and 35 examples are on display here along with chair-making tools

and stencils, portraits and photographs, period advertisements, and plates from sales catalogs.” Mr. Hammond has enhanced the display with p er io d adver t is em ent s from the early part of the 19th century for some of the hundreds of craftsmen known today through census records, business directories, account books, and research conducted by furniture students and local historians. He will discuss the exhibition during a gallery talk on September 17. The exhibition is presented in four rooms on t h e m u s e u m’s s e c o n d fl oor and comprises sections on, “The Craft of Chairmaking,” “Windsor Chairs,” “Common and Fancy Chairs,” and “Factory Made Chairs.” The first of these introduces visitors to the process of making 19thcentury chairs, including the technique and tools for traditional rush seating. Most of the equipment and tools on display have been drawn from an imp or t a nt col le c t ion as sembled in the late 1920s by William H. MacDonald of Trenton. Period photographs illustrate how many of the tools were used. Check out the chairmaker’s bench, a rotating stand for weaving rush seats, color grinders used in Allentown for preparing paint, and decorative stencils from several shops in the Allentown and Englishtown areas. Replications of several stencils on loan from the Monmouth County Historical Collection are cut from scrap paper. “It’s amazing that they have survived at all, some of them are so delicate,” said Ms. Allan as she pointed out some for crest rails, some with corner designs and one bearing a chair-maker’s name. They’d be used to apply painted designs. Beside them are some patterns that would be copied by hand. Eight Windsor chairs made between 1790 and

1835 range in form from fan-back and bow-back to rod-back styles, some with bamboo-shaped turnings popular in the early 19th century. They were made in Trenton, Pemberton, Moorestown, Salem, and Monmouth County by Ezekiah Hewes, William Bowen, Samuel Jaques, Samuel Roberts, William M c E l r o y, E b e n e z e r P. Rose, and others. Brands were often stamped on the undersides of chair seats and can be used to identify the work of specific craftsmen. Throughout the 19th century, a wide range of common and fancy chairs were made in all parts of New Jersey and there are 15 examples of these in the exhibition. Seven of them were produced by the renowned Ware family of South Jersey, who made slat-back, rush seated chairs in the Delaware Valley tradition in Cumberland and Salem counties. Nineteen Wares over four generations engaged in chairmaking from the late 18th century to the 1940s. The techniques passed down in the family remained so similar that it is often diffi cult, if not impossible, to tell the work of one craftsman from another. After the Civil War, chair production in New Jersey shifted from small shops to factories. Three of the most prominent were the Gardner Manufacturing Company of Glen Gardner, Hunterdon County; the Tunis R. Cooper chair factor y in Bergenfield, Bergen County; and the Collignon Brothers in what is now River Vale, Bergen County. Twelve examples from all three factories display the special characteristics developed by each, including the Collignan Brothers’s patented folding chairs. Highlights include the hand-painted crest rail depicting a compote of berries on a Windsor side chair made by Ebenezer P. Rose, Jr., of Trenton, ca. 1815-25, and the gracef u l b ow - back Wi nds or

CHAIRMAKING IN THE GARDEN STATE: Morven’s latest exhibition “Of the Best Materials and Good Workmanship: 19th-Century New Jersey Chairmaking” examines the chairmaker’s craft from the 1790s to the end of the 19th century. Guest curator Joseph W. Hammond documents the work of chairmakers who once worked in virtually every corner of the Garden State, with examples of their work, period photographs, and advertisements in four rooms on the museum’s second floor. The exhibition will be on view at Morven Museum & Garden, 55 Stockton Street, Princeton, through October 18. For more information, call (609) 924-8144, or visit: www.morven.org. (Photo by L.

Works by Alan Chimacoff great emphasis on structure On View at Morpeth Gallery — we need only to think of

An exhibition of work by local architect and photographer Alan Chimacoff will run from June 6 through June 27 at the Morpeth Gallery in Hopewell. There will be an opening reception Saturday, June 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. Titled, “Steel Evocations,” the exhibition will feature photographs accompanied by steel “adjustables.” From three simple shapes — the square, the circle, and an L-shaped connector — Mr. Chimacoff has created structures with a near infinite number of relationships, so that the visual dialogue remains dynamic and continually variable. T he cont ras t b e t we en two historical schools of thought is well known and runs across all major creative disciplines: art, music, architecture, and literature. Whereas one puts

the great fugues of J. S. Bach or the symphonies of Haydn, the other is imbued with color. Whether impressionistic — Maurice Ravel’s symphonic masterpiece, La Valse comes to mind, or abstract — there’s no better example than La partie de cartes, Fernand Leger’s powerful anti-war statement — it is vivid color that excites the eye and ear. So it is with Mr. Chimacoff’s work. He has successfully managed to master the essential elements of these two competing schools with his photography and architectural designs. Mr. Chimacoff ’s photographs create colorful abstractions out of ordinary things, heightening a viewer’s awareness of both the mundane and the unusual. They explore explicit geometries as well as the faceted, ambiguous spatial character-

STEEL No.17: That’s the title of this 12 x 48 inch photograph mounted on aluminum plate by the Princeton architect and photographer Alan Chimacoff, whose work will be on view in the exhibition titled, “Steel Evocations,” at the Morpeth Gallery in Hopewell from June 6 through June 27. There will be an opening reception Saturday, June 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. Mr. Chimacoff’s work explores the faceted, ambiguous spatial characteristics of cubism; it is shaped by a fascination with abstract art and the tension between real and illusory space as well as his architect’s love of materials, structure, geometry, and the effects of weather and climate. The Morpeth Contemporary Gallery is located at 43 West Broad Street, Hopewell N.J. 08525. For more information, contact: (609) 333-9393, or info@morpethcontemporary.com; or visit: morpethcontemporary.com. istics of cubism — pushing through the obvious toward the non-objective. The artist’s work is shaped by a fascination with abstract art and the tension between real and illusory space, but his architect’s love of materials, structure, geometry, and the effects that weather and climate have upon them are always present, too. Mr. Chimacoff taught architecture at Cornell and Princeton University for 25 years, and has practiced it for longer still. His award winning buildings and campus plans enhance schools across the nation, including Arizona State, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Syracuse and Tulane.

tects some unusual seismic activity in the vicinity of the Hoover Dam, the two scientists rush off to observe the event firsthand. They arrive in time to witness the considerable damage caused by an earthquake that registered 7.1 on the Richter scale. Worse, their instrumentation indicates that this event is a precursor to an impending earthquake of much greater magnitude. The ensuing shift in the San Andreas fault wreaks havoc all across California. Chief Gaines jumps into action, plucking his estranged wife, Emma (Carla Gugino), from the roof of a teetering skyscraper and then flying to the quake’s epicenter in San Francisco. They flew there because their terrified daughter, Blake (Alexandra Daddario) had called them for help. Fortunately she was being helped by two young British friends (Art Parkinson and Hugo Johstone-Burt). While searching for their daughter, the desperate parents r un a per ilous gauntlet — via air sea and land — to the Bay Area, and encounter turbulence, tsunamis, and landslides along the way. San Andreas has a cast of readily identifiable archetypes; the musclebound hero, the effete coward, the damsel in distress, the nerdy professor, each of whom are played perfectly by the talented cast. Nonetheless, the best reason to see this summer blockbuster is to experience the eye-popping panoramas in 3D. Excellent (HHHH).

f you were afraid to swim in the ocean after watching Jaws, you might be reluctant to visit San Francisco after seeing this spectacular disaster movie. Directed by Brad Peyton (Journey 2), San Andreas features a plot that is accompanied by riveting special-effects scenes. The film stars Dwayne Johnson as Ray Gaines, a decorated helicopter pilot who has led more than 600 rescue missions. At the point of departure, we find the Los Angeles Fire Department chief risking his life to pluck an accident victim (Stephanie Johnston) from a car that is dangling precipitously over a deep canyon. For you or me, such a dangerous maneuver would be unthinkable, but to Ray, it’s business as usual. Meanwhile, Professor Lawrence Hayes (Paul Giamatti) is delivering a lecture at the California Institute of Technology in which he discusses the incredible power of earthquakes.

PU Sports Roundup 2 PU Senior Athletes Share Art Lane Award

Princeton University sen iors T iana Wooldr idge of the women’s volleyball team and A ndrew Mills of the men’s soccer team were named last week as the 2015 winners of the Art Lane Award, given to honor selfless contribution to sport and society by an undergraduate athlete. Lane won the Pyne Prize and captained the 1933 Princeton football team to the national championship as an undergraduate before going on to a career as a Naval officer, federal judge, and corporate general counsel. Mills, a native of Sacramento, Calif. and Woodrow Wilson School major, was named second-team All-Ivy League this season for the Iv y League co - champion men’s soccer team. A defender and tri-captain, he played in 15 games and made 14 starts. He was named the Ivy League Player of the Week on November 3 after scoring the game-winning goal at Cornell in a must-win game for the Tigers. Mills earned the team’s Rob Myslik Award — given to a member of the men’s soccer team who most demonstrates a passion for life, a fiery competitiveness an unwavering honesty and a selfless generosity — at the annual banquet in April. In addition, he first reestablished the Princeton chapter of Best Buddies — an organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and development disabilities — as a freshman, and he has served as chapter president ever since. Under his leadership, the chapter has grown to 46 members, including 16 members with intellectual and develop ment disabilities who have been paired in one-to-one friendships with Princeton students. Mills also worked as a student-athlete wellness leader, and he organized a booth at Frist during Mental Health Awareness Week to inform athletes about the resources available to them on campus. He also was a volunteer coach of a 4th and 5th grade team in the Dillon Youth Basketball League and volunteer on the “Restore The Shore” program as part of the Princeton Varsity Club’s Weapons of Mass Construction initiative. Woolridge, also a member

of t he Woodrow Wilson School, was a two-time AllIvy League middle blocker on the women’s volleyball team. One of the league’s most efficient hitters during her career, she ranked first and third in the Ivy League in her two seasons as a starter. A n at i v e of S h e r m a n Oaks, Calif., Woolridge, who missed her senior season due to a preseason injury, was also one of the most dominant defensive players in the league. She had 144 blocks to go along with the 313 kills she recorded in her career. She was one of five finalists for the Wooden Citizenship Cup, given to amateur athletes for their character and leadership both on and off the field and for their contributions to sport and society. Woolridge was the founder of the Student-Athlete Service Council, which enables interested student-athletes to get more involved with communit y projects and which now has 10 varsity athletes serving in leadership roles. In addition, she is on the executive board for the Student Volunteer Council as part of the PACE Center, where she has served as the mentoring projects coordinator. She has been director of fundraising for the Princeton chapter of the Foundation for Medical Relief of Children, including coordinating a relief trip to Costa Rica. She interned with the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues in Washington, D.C., last summer, and was the vice president of the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students, as well as the leader of a highly successful campus blood drive through the Student Health Advisory Board. As a junior she won the prestigious Spirit of Princeton Award, given to a select number of undergraduate students who have made positive contributions to campus life. ———

Tiger Hoops Alum Blatt Coaches Cavs to NBA Finals

Former Princeton University men’s basketball player, David Blatt ’81, who joined Butch van Breda Kolff ’45 as the only two Princeton alums to serve as head coach of an NBA team when he was named as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers last summer, has now joined van Breda Kolff as the second Princeton alum to coach a team to the NBA Finals. Blatt’s Cleveland Cavaliers closed out the Atlanta Hawks last week to win the Eastern Conference title. Blatt and the Cavs will face the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals starting on June 4 in Oakland, California. While Blatt is a rookie as far as NBA head coaching, he has extensive pro experience, having been a head

The award, which was given by the Class of 1916 on the occasion of its 50th reunion, is presented to the senior varsity letter winner with the highest academic standing. McCord is an operations research and financial engineering major from Newark, Del. A wide receiver/defensive back, McCord, who served as one of the team’s captains during the last two seasons, was a first-team All-CSFL selection as a junior and a second-team All-CSFL selection as a sophomore and senior. He was named an Academic All-Iv y League honoree this past fall. As a junior, he made 35 recept ions, t he s econd highest single-season total in program history, and his 500 receiving yards in 2013 are fourth on the school’s all-time list. In his final year, he once again made double-digit receptions, finishing second on the squad in receiving with 10 catches for 113 yards.

While at Princeton, Blatt helped the Tigers to the Ivy League title as a senior in 1981. He was named head coach of the Cavaliers last June, and after a 53-29 season, the team has gone 12-2 in the playoffs to reach the NBA Finals for the second time in franchise history and first since 2007. ——— HAPPY CREW: Members of the Princeton University women’s lightweight team are all smiles after wrapping up action last Sunday at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national Sprint Football’s McCord championship regatta at Mercer Lake.

On April 1, the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse team had to hang on for a 9-7 victory over Hightstown. When the CVC foes met seven weeks later in the South Group 3 sectional quarterfinals, there was no drama as fourth-seeded PHS jumped out to a 7-1 first quarter lead and never looked back on the way to a 14-6 win over the fifth-seeded Rams. For Little Tiger head coach Peter Stanton, the different margins of victory in the contests reflected a progress borne of resilience. “After the game, their coach said ‘wow your guys are so much better than before,’” said Stanton. “It was good to hear that from someone else. We answered the bell every time; we had a few bad games where we got beat by large margins. A lesser group could have given up but this group never stopped working.” In the sectional semifinals at top-seeded Shawnee, PHS put in some good work, jumping out to a 3-0 lead after the

first quarter. The roof fell in on the Little Tigers as they were outscored 8-1 and ended up losing 15-5 in the May 21 contest. “The game plan was what we executed well in the first quarter — which was to play aggressively and go out and attack; we played to our strengths,” said Stanton, reflecting on the season-ending defeat. “They are a mature and athletic team. They are a team comprised of seniors with a lot of success in football and lacrosse. I said to the guys it was liking holding a beach ball under water, eventually you lose your handle on the ball.” Stanton liked how far his team came this spring as it rebounded from a 2-6 start to post a final record of 9-9. “What we are most happy about is that we made progress,” said Stanton. “Looking back at what I know now, the expectations were high and we held the boys to that. I think that is the only way to really progress.

You can’t say, hey let’s just be OK, it is hard to make progress that way. We had seven sophomores on the field a lot of the time, that is an awful lot to ask of them.” As a result, Stanton asked a lot of his team’s veteran-laden defense, which was spearheaded by senior defenders Jackson Andres, Joe Hawes and Colin Buckley along with senior goalie Kenan Glasgold. “On defense we felt like we had so much talent that they could keep us in games and give us a chance to win and they did that against Rumson-Fair Haven (a 6-5 loss on April 27) and in the win over HoVal (7-6 on May 5),” asserted Stanton. The senior class, which included attacker Chris Diver and midfielder Stephen Clark in addition to the defensive stars, provided talent and character. “I have not had as many players who worked as hard as Colin; he would stay after practice running additional

sprints,” said Stanton, noting that Andres, Buckley, and Hawes were named as first-team All-CVC performers while Glasgold was a second-team choice. “Jackson has a rare combination of talent and passion for the game. Joe Hawes made the switch to defense. He didn’t play much lacrosse before coming to high school; it is amazing how far he came. Kenan gave us reason to believe that we could stay in games. Chris had a difficult transition to attack from midfield and by the end of the season, he really got it. Clark came a long way on the field.” In Stanton’s view, there is plenty of reason for optimism going forward, considering the team’s progress this spring and the return of such talented players as junior midfielder Rory Helstrom, a firstteam All-CVC selection, and sophomore attacker Johnny Lopez-Ona, an honorablemention All-CVC performer. “We are definitely excited about the future,” said Stanton, who was inducted into the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame earlier this year. “Like I told the players af-

liked the way her squad kept making progress. “We had a really strong finish; it depicted that the girls really improved,” said O’Gorman. “They played smart in some tight games. Overall you could see them carrying out decisions and playing smarter.” In O’Gorman’s view, her team’s increased lacrosse IQ was one of the biggest pluses to come out of the spring as the Tartans posted a final record of 7-9. “I think it was decisionmaking all over the field,” said O’Gorman. “We had a lot fewer turnovers and everybody started playing their roles and playing as a team.” Stuart came through at both ends of the field in its season-ending win. “The last game was 10-9 at Lawrence,” recalled O’Gorman. “It was great to end on a strong note, they went away in good spirits.” The team’s two seniors, goalie Harlyn Bell and attacker Nneka Onukwugha, lifted spirits throughout the season. “Harlyn just led the team so well; her attitude was always upbeat,” said O’G or man of B ell, who passed the 400-save mark in her Tartan career. “She is a great role model. She was also very consistent, that is not easy for a goalie. Nneka is quieter; she is very level-headed. She used her athleticism from basketball. She could turn it on offensively and defensively. It was a two-person senior class but it seemed like more. You always knew what you were going to get from them.” With a large and talented group of juniors featuring Tori Hannah (56 goals and 7 assists in 2015), Julia Maser (42 goals, 6 assists), Sam Servis (10 goals, 5 assists), Harley Guzman (28 goals, 6 assists), Rose Tetnowski (1 goal, 1 assist), Izzy Engel (10 goals, 3 assists), Armani King, and Kimberly Rodas, the Tartans should continue getting better and better. “It is a well-balanced class, there are good players on offense, defense, and in the midfield,” said O’Gorman. “They trickle experience and talent all over the field, which will help the new players we get and the younger players we already have. They have already stepped up and I am sure they will step up more.” O’Gorman, for her part, enjoyed stepping into the Stuart program. “It was nice to have a small team,” said O’Gorman, who was previously the head coach of the Princeton High girls’ lax squad. “We were able to focus and concentrate on specifics of the game, whether long or short term. The progress was gratifying, they were able to compete and we had some nice wins.” —Bill Alden

Boosted by Strong Performances in Relays, PHS Track to Have Good Presence at MOC Excelling in group efforts, the Princeton High track team made its mark in relay events as it competed in the Group 3 state championship meet last weekend in South Plainfield. The boys’ 4x800 team of sophomore Patrick O’Connell, sophomore Alex Roth, junior Noah Chen, and sophomore Cy Watsky took fourth in 8:00.17 to book their spot in the Meet of Champions (MOC) on June 3 as a top-six finisher. The

quartet took a step closer to their goal of beating the 34-year old school record of 7:57.1. On the girls’ side, the 4x800 team of senior Paige Metzheiser, junior Lou Mialhe, senior Julie Bond, and sophomore Annefleur Hartmanshenn took sixth in 9:40.40 to earn its way to the MOC, which is being held in South Plainfield. Another relay, the girls’ 4x400, also advanced to the Meet of Champions as

a wildcard based on time. Ju n ior Ma ia Hau s ch i ld, freshman Jackie Patterson, junior Jordan Vine, and Metzheiser combined to break 4 minutes for the first time, running 3:59.46 in placing seventh at the group meet. Three of the girls had sub60 second splits. A lso advancing to the MOC as individual wildcards were Roth in the 3,200 after taking eighth in 9:28.45, and sophomore Noa Levy, the eighth-place finisher in the high jump with a mark of 5’0. —Bill Alden

John Nash Jr. John Nash Jr, a legendary fixture of Princeton University’s department of mathematics renowned for his breakthrough work in mathematics and game theory as well as for his struggle with mental illness, died with his wife, Alicia, in an automobile accident May 23, 2015 in Monroe Township, New Jersey. He was 86, she was 82. Born in Bluefield, West Virginia, in 1928, Nash received his doctorate in mathematics from Princeton in 1950 and his graduate and bachelor’s degrees from Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in 1948. During the nearly 70 years that Nash was associated with the University, he was an ingenious doctoral student; a specter in Princeton’s Fine Hall whose brilliant academic career had been curtailed by his struggle with schizophrenia; then, finally, a quiet, courteous elder statesman of mathematics who still came to work every day and in the past 20 years had begun receiving the recognition many felt he long deserved. He had held the position of senior research mathematician at Princeton since 1995. Nash was a private person who also had a strikingly public profile, especially for a mathematician. His life was dramatized in the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind in which he and Alicia Nash were portrayed by actors Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. The film centered on his influential work in game theory, which was the subject of his 1950 Princeton doctoral thesis and the work for which he received the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics. At the time of their deaths, the Nashes were returning home from Oslo, Norway, where John had received the 2015 Abel Prize from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, one of the most prestigious honors in mathematics. The prize recognized his seminal work in partial differential equations, which are used to describe the basic laws of scientific phenomena. For his fellow mathematicians, the Abel Prize was a longoverdue acknowledgment of his contributions to mathematics. For Nash to receive his field’s highest honor only days before his death marked a final turn of the cycle of astounding achievement and jarring tragedy that seemed to characterize his life. “It was a tragic end to a very tragic life. Tragic, but at the same time a meaningful life,” said Sergiu Klain-

Henry Otto Isaac Henr y Ot to Isaac died p e a c e f u l l y, s u r r o u n d e d by his family on May 30, 2015. Born in Cologne, Germany in 1922, his father managed a family manufacturing industry and his mother Alice was a concert pianist. Henry

left the country at 15, first for England and then the United States at the onset of the Second World War. He joined the U.S. Army and saw service from the landing at Normandy until he was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. He returned to New York and graduated from City College of New York and did graduate studies in economics at New York University. He met and married Rhoda Kassof, an artist, art educator, and later analytical psychologist; and raised two sons, Jan Luss and Jeffrey Isaac. They moved to Switzerland for many years where Henry worked as the head of the English translation department at the Union Bank of Switzerland. After retirement, he and Rhoda settled in Princeton near family. They were long-time residents at Stonebridge. An avid student of history and lover of good humor and travel, especially in Italy, Henry was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and dear friend to many who will remember his sweet and generous nature. He is survived by his wife Rhoda, son Jeffrey, daughter-in-law Sophie, grandson Elias, cousin Eva, brotherin-law Allen and several nephews and nieces. A memorial service will be announced.

Nancy Nesbit Coffin Nancy Nesbit Coffin, Mrs. David R. Coffin, formerly of Princeton, New Jersey, pas s e d away p e acef u lly May 9, 2015 on Nantucket Island. Born April 25, 1925 in Montgomery, Alabama, Nancy at tended var ious schools as she moved with her mother and stepfather following construction jobs during the Depression. She graduated high school in upstate New York, attended one year at Syracuse University, before taking a job during the war years as a clerk with the Army at Fort Drum. There she met a young soldier, recently graduated from Princeton University, who would continue to write her letters from his time serving abroad with the U.S. Army Air Corps. Nancy was married at the Princeton Chapel in June of 1947, honeymooned on Nantucket, and settled down in Princeton as a faculty wife. She first set up house in graduate housing in the Butler Project, later moving to Guyot Avenue, then finally to McCosh Circle in 1960. Her first job after raising four children was with the Princeton Red Cross. She then worked as a secretary at the Institute for Advanced Study and, finally, registrar and secretary for the Robert Taylor Rare Books Collection at Firestone Library.

Johnson was greatly inspired by her mother, who taught art at the College of Wooster. Her father was a scientist in agricultural research. Thanks to her older brother whom she greatly admired, she developed a deep love of science. While he was in college majoring in physics, she, a senior in high school, was studying physics. As the only girl in the class, she was determined to beat the boys. Studying hard, she placed in the state competition in physics. Having also gone to the state competition in mathematics, she had considered a career in physics. She was married to the late Edward O. Johnson, electronics engineer at RCA and Corning Glass. They were close companions on the many adventures they had together, including a year in Zurich and eight and a half years in Tokyo.

Princeton Seminary Presents Karl Barth Conferences

Jürgen Moltmann, one of the foremost religious thinkers in the world and a longtime friend of Swiss Reformed theologian Karl Barth, will present the opening lecture of the 2015 Annual Karl Barth Conference Sunday evening, June 21. Moltmann is professor emeritus of systematic theology at the University of Tübingen in Germany and contributed many books to the field of theology, including Theology of Hope (Fortress Press, 1993), The Crucified God (Fortress Press, 1993), and The Trinity and the Kingdom of God (Fortress Press, 1993). Moltmann w ill present his lecture at 7:30 p.m. in Miller Chapel on the Princeton Seminary campus. The lecture is free and open to the public. The theme of this year’s con fere n ce, wh ich r u n s through June 24, is “Karl Barth and the Gospels: Interpreting Gospel Texts.” Taking place on the campus of Princeton Theological Seminary and organized by the Seminary’s Center for Barth Studies, the conference welcomes several renowned speakers, includi ng R ichard B au ck ha m, Karlfried Froehlich, Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Eric Gregory, Willie Jennings, Paul Dafydd Jones, Bruce L. McCormack, Daniel L. Migliore, and Fleming Rutledge. For the complete list and biographies of the speakers, visit www.ptsem. edu/barthconference. For the first time, Princeton Seminary will hold the Karl Barth Pastors Conference. The conference titled “Karl Barth and the Mission of the Church,” will take place on the Seminary’s campus and will follow the annual Barth conference June 24 to June 26. The conference is specifically designed for pastors and/or those training for the ministry. It will use Karl Barth’s life and theology as a rich resource for pastors to critically engage the church’s mission in the 21st centur y. The conference will consist of three evening lectures given by Will Willimon, Willie Jennings, and Debbie Blue along with multiple workshops throughout the day led by Christian Andrews, Nancy J. Duff, Peter G. Heltzel, Fleming Rutledge, and Ry Owen Siggelkow. There will also be two worship services led by M. Craig Barnes, president of Princeton Seminary, and Kara Slade.

erman, Princeton’s Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics, who was close to John and Alicia Nash, and whose own work focuses on partial differential equation analysis. Although Nash did not teach or formally take on students, his continuous presence in t he depar tment over the past several decades, coupled with the almost epic triumphs and trials of his life, earned him respect and admiration, said David Gabai, Princeton Hughes-Rogers Professor of Mathematics and department chair. Since winning the Nobel Prize, Nash had entered a long period of renewed activity and confidence — which coincided with Nash’s greater control of his mental state — that allowed him to again put his creativity to work, Klainerman said. He met Nash upon joining the Princeton faculty in 1987, but his doctoral thesis had made use of a revolutionary method introduced by Nash in connection to the Nash embedding theorems, which the Norwegian Academy described as “among the most original results in geometric analysis of the twentieth century.” Despite their divorce, Alicia, who was born in El Salvador in 1933, endured the peaks and troughs of Nash’s life alongside him, Klainerman said. Their deaths at the same time after such a long life together of highs and lows seemed literary in its tragedy and romance. “They were a wonderful couple,” Klainerman said. “You could see that she cared very much about him, and she was protective of him. You could see that she cared a lot about his image and the way he felt. I felt it was very moving.” Nash is survived by his sister, Martha Nash Legg, and sons John David Stier and John Charles Martin Nash. He had his younger son, John Nash, with Alicia shortly after their marriage in 1957, which ended in divorce in 1963. They remarried in 2001. Readers are welcome to view or share comments on a memoriam page created by Princeton University at http://johnnash.princeton. edu. A memorial service will be planned at the University in the fall.

A long shaded driveway leads to this architecturally attractive 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom home on nearly five acres in the coveted Princeton Ridge area, home to a wide variety of rare and migratory birds, flora and fauna. With its extraordinary ceiling height and abundance of glass, the combined living and dining room are flooded in spectacular natural light. Whether entertaining or relaxing, here is a home for all seasons providing a chic take on cottage style living. Off the entry foyer, a spacious eat-in kitchen with centered island and oak cabinetry is capable of turning out food for large and small gatherings alike. Enter the cozy den flanked by decorative columns with a wall of glass bordered by twin doors, allowing you access to the rear deck overlooking unspoiled vistas of the forest. Retreat to the top floor master suite with private bath, newly installed carpeting and an additional 700+ square feet of unfinished space awaiting your creative touch. On the main level, an arched hallway grounded by freshly stained hardwood flooring leads you to a generously sized bedroom with fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and vaulted ceiling which adjoins an additional bedroom by way of a shared full bath. Sophisticated and enchanting, properties of this caliber are hard to come by in Princeton. Marketed by Michelle Needham

Boxwood Problems

Boxwood Leafminer has become a serious pest of Boxwoods in the Princeton area. All varieties are susceptible. This pest mines in the foliage by feeding between the upper and lower leaf surfaces. Mining activity results in the formation of small blisters on the undersides of the leaves. Infested leaves turn yellowish and eventually drop prematurely. Heavily damaged plants become unsightly and sparse in appearance. This insect can be controlled with properly timed soil injections. This systemic insecticide provides good control against the new Leafminer larvae. Annual fall or early spring treatments may be necessary. Another pest prevalent on Boxwoods in the landscape this year is Boxwood Psyllid. This insect sucks the nutrients from the leaves and causes ‘cupped” and curled-up-leaves. Small infestations are mainly an aesthetic problem, however, left untreated, heavier infestations affect the overall health of the plant. Properly timed treatments easily control this pest. To address Boxwood or any other problems in your garden, call WOODWINDS (924-3500) for a consultation. “People in the same boat should help each other” ...Chinese Proverb

YOUR SEARCH IS OVER!! On a quiet Princeton street in the Western section, this ﬁve bedroom colonial has the perfect blend of new amenities and old world charm. Custom built for its current owners, the care taken with the design, and the attention to details, is obvious. Beautiful mouldings, gorgeous wood ﬂoors, and oversize windows speak to these points, while the location is clearly a “10”. The welcoming entry provides an immediate sense of arrival, and you quickly realize that this house offers both warmth and style. Three car garage, a large deck, and a nicely planted lot complete the picture--and what a pretty picture indeed!! $1,550,000

LAKEFRONT PROPERTY in Princeton is at a premium, especially one with a dock and an amazing design pedigree!! We are proud to present the only known residential collaborative design by Robert Venturi and William Short, two architects who combined their skill and their friendship to create a masterpiece of understated elegance and harmony. Built in 1960 for Robert H. Taylor, this home is of modernist design, set back from the street; a perfect example of “less is more”. Virtually every room has a lake view that is hard to beat, and the lot itself slopes ever so slightly, creating easy access and entry to the lake, whether for boating or skating. You may not know that, unless a property already has a dock, one cannot be added!! Offered by its second owner, this could be the chance of a lifetime to own such a piece of history! $2,200,000

Brick front four bedroom colonial offers tremendous living space, as well as every amenity. Two storey entry, living room with French doors leading to library/study, and a formal dining room with adjacent butler’s pantry. Chef’s kitchen opens to family room with ﬁreplace and volume ceiling. Finished basement and Montgomery schools combine with Kings Crossing pool, clubhouse, and tennis courts. A wonderful way to spend the summer! $719,900

ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER, since this house backs to the 5th hole of the Cherry Valley golf course! With direct visual and physical access to this beautiful expanse of rolling and manicured greens, you can entertain to your heart’s content in the privacy of your home and gardens. Perfectly positioned on a premier lot, this home has a gracious entry foyer with distinctive architectural accents. Every room on this level has beautiful oak ﬂoors, burnished to a soft glow. On the ﬁrst level is also the main bedroom, with a bow window, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath, complete with jetted tub. Wonderfully appointed, beautifully executed, and ready for you!!!! Montgomery schools. $900,000

3 TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL OPEN HOUSE A successful open house can help you sell your property faster and for more money, but inviting a bunch of strangers into your home can also be nerve-wracking. Here are three simple steps to make the open house process easier and more rewarding: * Make the house more “personality neutral.” Pack away personal items like family photos and personal mementos so buyers see your home as their own. Removing personal items also helps you retain more of your privacy, even when others are in your space. * Stash your valuables. Even though buyers are by and large a trustworthy group, for your own peace of mind and unless you have interior security cameras, it's a good idea to lock away anything that's valuable. Don't forget to remove personal items from medicine cabinets, closets and under the sink, all places where buyers may look. * Get out of the house. Don't be tempted to remain at home during the open house – it can make buyers nervous. Instead, turn the open house over to your agent, who has experience in handling open houses and all they entail.
