Council Hears Update And Approves Resolution On Climate Action Plan Princeton Council passed a resolution Monday, July 22 in support of the town’s Climate Action Plan, following an update on the measure by Sustainable Princeton. The 96-page proposal is focused on resilience, making sure that Princeton is prepared for the extreme weather that has become a regular occurrence. “It’s real, and it’s happening here,” said Molly Jones, Sustainable Princeton’s executive director, as rain pelted the plaza outside Witherspoon Hall. Jones cited several incidences of flooding, extreme heat, and falling trees caused by weather during the past three weeks. “Much of the choir is here tonight, but I wanted to reiterate the challenge of what we are facing.” Coming up with the plan, the organization’s steering committee consulted with members of the community at schools, churches, and a “Greenfest” that was attended by 700 people, said Christine Symington, programming director. A draft of the plan, posted online, received several comments. Princeton’s Bicycle Advisory Committee, Board of Health, Environmental Commission, Public Transit Advisory Committee, Shade Tree Commission, and the Sustainable Princeton Board of Trustees have all provided letters of support. Developed over a 16-month period, the plan is intended as “a roadmap to reduce Princeton’s contribution to climate change and prepare for its effects,” it reads. “It establishes an ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050 (based on 2010 emissions). Achieving this goal will take the collective effort of the entire community working together to ensure Princeton remains a prosperous and vibrant town for future generations.” Impacts to Princeton by climate change include more frequent days of extreme heat, an increase in the average temperature that will affect plant and animal life, more heat-related illnesses for residents, flooding, longer dry spells, and a negative effect on air quality. So far, 16 of the 80 actions listed in the plan have been put into effect, Symington said. Progress will be reported every three years, and the plan will be updated every nine years. While supporting most aspects of the Continued on Page 10

Proposed Mural for W-J Stirs Controversy A mural, proposed by the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) to cover the wall of Lupita Groceries on Leigh Avenue, has stirred up controversy among the residents of the Witherspoon-Jackson (W-J) community and beyond, while raising issues surrounding the use and purpose of public art. “It’s only paint,” said Maria Evans, ACP artistic director and project director for the proposed mural, but she acknowledged that the question of the mural is complex and involves far larger questions. A meeting at the ACP last month, described as lively and at times heated, did not come to a conclusion on the future of the proposed mural. “It was a healthy conversation with many different views expressed,” said ACP Interim Executive Director Jim Levine. “People were honest and spoke about their feelings.” The conversation, at least in a larger context, will continue this Saturday, July 27 at 9:30 a.m. at the First Baptist Church in Princeton in a forum sponsored by the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association (WJNA) titled “The Use of Public Art in the Urban Landscape — More Exclusively in the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood,

Princeton’s 20th Historic District.” The idea for a mural is not new. Levine explained how the project proposal came into existence. “For a number of years Maria [Evans] and others at the Arts Council have seen the blank wall at Lupita’s and thought it would be a great place for a mural,” he said. The ACP received funding through its artist-in-residence program and put together a proposal for the mural, which would be painted by former Princeton

resident Marlon Davila, with the assistance of the Pannell Center’s Princeton Young Achievers class. The ACP proposal for the mural, titled “Migrations,” notes that the “neighborhood has been home to many cultures: Princeton’s African American community, Italian and Irish immigrants, and now to a growing, diverse Latinx community over the past 25-30 years. This mural is a homage to cultures living in the neighborhood that Continued on Page 8

Council Recognizes Satterfield For Her Work as a Historian

Sixth-generation Princetonian and historian Shirley Satterfield was honored with an award of recognition at the Monday, July 22 meeting of Princeton Council. A standing-room-only crowd at Witherspoon Hall gave Satterfield, whose knowledge of local history and activism has made her something of a local legend, an ovation as she accepted her award and expressed gratitude for the honor. “I’m humbled and very thankful for this recognition,” Satterfield said after Council member Eve Niedergang presented her with the award. “Everything I do is a labor

of love,” she added, quoting from a sermon by the Rev. Lukata A. Mjumbe, her pastor at Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church. Satterfield paid tribute to numerous people and organizations with whom she has been involved during her ongoing career as a teacher, guidance counselor, researcher, historian, and tour guide. She asked members of each group to stand. Among them: the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, the Historical Society of Princeton, the former Continued on Page 12

REVOLUTIONARY ERA PUB CRAWL: Mountaintop Marketing’s sixth Revolutionary Pub Crawl was a recent sellout in Lambertville and New Hope. “Crawlers” crossed the bridge connecting the two towns, accompanied by fife and drum. They visited Inn of the Hawke to find George Washington, Lambertville Station (Benjamin Franklin), Logan Inn (Third Regiment New Jersey Greys), and Great Barn Brewery (Schooners Pursuit Historical Society). Another crawl is set for fall.

Police Blotter On July 18, at 12:55 a.m., police responded to an activated burglar alarm at Princeton High School. They located an 18-year-old male from Lawrenceville and an 18-year-old male from Princeton inside the school. They were both arrested and charged with burglary, theft, and possession of burglary tools. On July 18, at 8:34 p.m., a v ic t i m rep or te d t hat, sometime between 4 and 4:20 p.m., someone stole their credit cards from their secured gym locker on Paul Robeson Place. The credit cards were then used to make purchases in the surrounding area. On July 17, at 6:35 p.m., a caller reported that someone entered a property on Lafayette Road West without the owner’s permission and damaged different areas of the residence. On July 16, at 3:12 p.m., a resident of Mt. Lucas Road reported that, on July 9, someone cashed a forged check from their account in the amount of $3,000. The suspect used f raudulent identification to cash the check at the bank branch. On July 15, at 8:40 a.m., a resident of PrincetonKingston Road reported that, sometime between July 11 and 13, someone entered their garage and stole a leaf blower valued at $220. The victim had surveillance footage of an individual prowling on their property on July 11 between 2:15 and 2:45 a.m.

A 57-year-old male from New Brunswick was arrested and lodged at the Middlesex County Correctional Facility. On July 14, at 12:03 p.m., a resident of Princeton-Kingston Road reported that, sometime in the past week, someone entered their unlocked garage and stole their black Trek mountain bike with at-

tached lock, valued at $485. On July 13, at 1:13 a.m., a 54-year-old male from Hillsborough was charged with DWI, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on State Road for speeding and failing to maintain a lane. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

“We are delighted, and honored, and proud, of course,” said Carol Burden, executive director of Trenton Music Makers. “This is giving us exactly what we want, which is wonderful professional development, opportunities for our teachers to learn, and a chance to show people that what we’re doing is successful.” Ser ving kids in grades 2-12, Trenton Music Makers is based on the El Sistema movement, a global program started in Venezuela in the 1970s. El Sistema uses music and playing in ensembles as platforms for social development. Children from challenged circumstances all over the world have been exposed to the program, which not only teaches them to play an instrument but also helps with academic studies, social interactions, and selfdiscipline. El Sistema’s most celebrated graduate is Gustavo Dudamel, the conductor and music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. During the past year, Dudamel took part in a residency at Princeton University that included significant interactions with local El Sistema programs. Trenton Music Makers was among them. Dudamel made it a priority to spend time with the students during events at the University, and in their Trenton location. Just how much of a role that participation played in PlayUSA selecting Trenton Music Makers for a grant isn’t known. “I think being a community partner in the Dudamel residency is sort of a part of our story of a growing organization,” said Burden. “It was very excit-

ing and inspiring, and the message he was sharing was profound. But aside from that, the idea of Trenton Music Makers has caught fire in people’s minds. Everyone knows music is great for kids. But at this intense a level, and with kids who don’t normally have access, spending eight to ten hours a week on music — that’s another level.” Carnegie Hall’s PlayUSA is a 10-year initiative that suppor ts organizations across t he countr y t hat offer instrumental music education programs to lowContinued on Next Page

income and underser ved students in grades kindergarten through 12. “I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when they were deciding to include us,” said Burden. “We were asked to share some successes we’ve had recently, so that [the Dudamel residency] was clearly a part of our story. But one thing that stood out is that they asked for five-minute teaching video. They wanted to see our challenges as well as the great stuff, because they really want to build a learning cohort.” The learning cohorts place three organizations together to share experiences and learn from each other, said K are n Cu e v a, C ar n e g ie Hall’s manager of learning and engagement programs. “We try to connect these groups from across the nation in different ways,” she said. “We want them to learn from each other.” In addition, Trenton Music Makers and the other PlayUSA participants will participate in webinars, have an “intervisitation” with the other groups at one national site, and be observed by administrators. The grant can be used to underwrite teaching fees ; buy, rent, or repair instruments; and other costs. Trenton Music Makers served about 108 children last year. The coming school year’s programs will include g roup i ns t r uc t ion t hree days a week for students in grades 2-5 and four days for grades 6-12. They all play in orchestras and ensembles. “After they’ve been playing two to three years and we see their level of commitment, then they earn private lessons,” said Burden. The next school year will also consolidate Trenton Music Makers at one site, which Burden said has not yet been named. Last year, the program was held at four different school sites. Cueva said a priority of PlayUSA is working with teachers and administrators interested in taking part in the national conversation on teaching practice and how it can be moved forward. “What Trenton Music Makers and the other programs demonstrated is that they are not only providing great services through music education, but are interested in having this professional development conversation,” she said. “We look forward to having them join that work.” —Anne Levin

Mural Controversy continued from page one

they now call home.” The ACP, according to Levine, was advised to present their proposal to the town’s Public Art Selection Committee (PASC) and the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). Since W-J recently became a historic district, HPC approval of the project is necessary. It was approved by the PASC (an advisory body), but not by the HPC, which, in the face of residents’ concerns about the mural and about the lack of local residents’ involvement in the process, called for more input and discussion in the community. “People were speaking

from their hearts in this public forum,” Levine said. “They were saying what they thought about public art, about this particular work, and about the neighborhood. Everyone liked the art, but there were questions about whether it’s the right art at the right time in the right place. There were lots of questions about the historical nature of the neighborhood, its present state, and its future. We’d like to meld all those three in a way that is respectful of as many parties as possible.” He continued, “That’s really our goal: to add to the neighborhood and the vitality of that neighborhood and not diminish anybody in any way but to enhance every-

one’s experience within the neighborhood.” Levine sees this Saturday’s meeting as an opportunity to work towards a communitybased resolution to the controversy. “I thank Leighton Newlin [WJNA president] for scheduling this meeting of the WJNA, stepping out there and saying we have to talk about this issue and creating another forum for us to do that.” Evans, who lives on Leigh Avenue, agreed. “As a resident of the neighborhood I’m hyper-aware of the issues,” she said. “Maybe the process got a bit backward, but I feel that we’re on the right track now with bringing everyone into the same room and talking about it.” Levine said that the ACP

CANVAS FOR A MURAL?: The wall of Lupita’s Groceries, on Leigh Avenue, facing John Street in the Witherspoon-Jackson (W-J) section of Princeton, has been proposed as the site for a mural, under the sponsorship of the Arts Council of Princeton.

would not pursue the project without broad support of the community. “We want to know what the community thinks about the issue,” he said. “We don’t want to put something in that doesn’t have broad support. However you would judge — or Elizabeth Kim, HCP officer, would judge — broad support, that’s what we’re looking to see and hear.” Newlin, in his press release and invitation to Saturday’s meeting, noted the importance and difficulty of the question “What does it mean to be a historic district?” He stated, “We will have an open, honest, and straightforward conversation about how we, the neighborhood, feel about the use and application of public art where we live and reside. While the African American diaspora is the storyboard basis by which the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood became a historic district, gentrification has shifted the racial and socioeconomic balance, making the neighborhood more diverse, more eclectic, more dynamic, and more desirable.” He emphasized that the goal of the meeting is not to come to a decision but to begin a conversation about public art and the W-J Historic District among the present residents of the neighborhood. “It’s a conversation that the neighborhood has to have,” he said. He continued, “This town has a habit of taking action without asking the African American community. With many issues in the past, they didn’t ask, and neither did the Arts Council ask the African American community.

But the Historic Preservation Commission has said it’s looking for guidance.” Leticia Fraga, councilwoman and liaison to the PASC, echoed the need for wide inclusion in the decisionmaking process. “We need perspective on this, input from everyone in the community,” she said. Emphasizing the important history of the W-J community, she continued, “We have to be sensitive to the history of the neighborhood. It is a diverse community, has always been, and public art, in my opinion, provides an opportunity for a sense of place and belonging. Public art can represent a welcoming space for everyone.” Fraga, who does not live in the W-J community, emphasized that “public art should be what the communit y wants it to be. It should be up to the community as a whole, not for others to say. I never want to impose my wishes on someone else’s community.” Fraga urged residents to attend Saturday’s meeting and express their views. “My hope is that the public does come out. It’s important that anyone who lives in the community should take an interest and have a say. WJ is becoming more diverse. I want to celebrate diversity. Public art should celebrate that diversity. Any conflicts should be addressed early on.” John Bailey, former Princeton resident and lead organizer of the W-J Joint Effort Safe Streets Celebration, noted the need for further discussion, but added, “The discussion is larger than a discussion of just public art. There’s a much larger question here.”

Bailey urged, “Conflict is not always bad. If people aren’t communicating, there’s going to be conflict, and how we use that conflict is important.” Emphasizing the need for “balanced and fair” dialogue, for historical commitment as well as attention to present concerns, he stated, “we have to bring it to the neighborhood and talk to the citizens about what they think. Who decides in a historic district?” —Donald Gilpin

plan, local resident Bainy Suri expressed disappointment that it does not address eliminating the use of plastic bags. “I don’t understand why it wasn’t included,” she said. “I want to urge Council to take bold action on this.” Also at the meeting, Council heard an update on the Princeton Fire Department’s implementation of recommendations by The Rodgers Group, including the hiring of six career firefighters to work alongside volunteers. Bob Gregory, head of the town’s Office of Emergency Management, said the department intends to advertise for the positions next month, administer a written test and physical agility test in October, and begin interviewing in November, with a goal of hiring by December. “Our main goal is the seamless transition from all-volunteer to a combination department,” he said. Among the other recommendations Gregory mentioned as priorities were the use of social media for recruiting, working with Princeton University to attend student activity fairs, plans to reinstitute junior firefighters, and attending local events such as National Night Out on August 6, also for recruiting. Council member Leticia Fraga thanked Gregory for making sure f lyers were printed in Spanish as well as English, and encouraged him to consider Welcoming Week, which is September 13-22, as a destination for recruiting. Responding to questions f rom C ou nci l c a nd idate Adam Bierman about the

investigation into illegal activity at the River Road Sewer Operating Site, which has resulted in the firing of three employees, Mayor Liz Lemper t said the tow n’s priorities are with cleanup of the site. Princeton Administrator Marc Dashield said that since the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office is handling the investigation, the site is currently on lockdown. But the Whitman company, licensed state rem e d i at i on pr ofe s s i on a l s hired to test and remediate the site, is scheduled to go in about July 29 to do soil sampling, he said. Lempert said the Sewer Operations office is currently being supervised by the Department of Public Works, and that the town is exploring possible shared services with other municipalities. “Whatever we do, we don’t want to rush into anything that binds us for decades,” she said. In an update posted on the town’s website last week, Lempert said that a contractor has been hired to create a remediation plan for the solar array that sits atop the old landfill. A New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection inspection last February revealed erosion of the soil covering the landfill. Council voted to intro duce an ordinance allowing for outdoor seating at Kristine’s, a French restaurant being opened by Jack Morrison of the JM Group on

Residents of Springpoint Senior Living’s continuing care retirement community, Meadow Lakes, donated a record $73,000 to help employees lessen the burden of high tuition costs and educational debt. At the 18th annual ceremony held at Meadow Lakes on June 20, awardees received up to $3,000 each from the Meadow L akes Education Award Fund. The fund was launched in 2002 by residents who wanted a way to recognize outstanding staff service and to help both full- and part-time employees further their educational goals, and is funded entirely by the residents. The awardees are enrolled at 12 East Coast colleges including Temple University, Seton Hall, Rutgers University, Lehigh University, The College of New Jersey, and Mercer County Community College. Degree programs of participating students include accounting and finance, American Sign L a ng uage, arch ite c t u re, business administration, computer science, criminal justice, culinary arts, dental hygiene, economics, hotel and restaurant management, IT management, music technology, nursing, physical therapy, pre-law, psychology, and social work.

who have achieved positive work and academic records,” said Dr. Byron Shafer, a resident and the chair of the Education Award Committee. “Through hard work and determination, these students have proven their abilities and set an example for others. The Meadow Lakes Education Award Fund recognizes and rewards their efforts, encouraging their career goals. This is our residents’ way of saying thanks and paying forward what we have received.” As part of the selection process, awardees met with the Education Award Fund committee, completed an application form, provided an academic transcript of past work, and submitted an essay describing their proposed future career and the influences leading to their choice. For newly enrolled students, the essays were intended to convey what influenced their choice of career path; for other students to convey the affect their studies are having on preparing for their careers.

The Reverend Doctor Jeffrey A. Vamos is pastor and head of staff of The Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville, a position he has held since 2005. He is leading the church through a capital campaign and new innovative forms of ministry, including a community center and job training program for formerly incarcerated persons. Vamos currently serves as board chair of Every Child Valued, an afterschool program in Eggerts Crossing Village in Lawrenceville. He served on the Committee on Ministry for the New Brunswick Presbytery, which focused on forming a collaboration among Trenton-area congregations to explore the future of Presbyterian ministry in the city. He also ser ved on the executive committee of Planned Parenthood of the Mercer Area. About his desire to serve on the Eden board, Vamos said, “Our congregation is involved with Eden via employing a person through Eden’s employment program.

Incumbents Debbie Bronfeld and Greg Stankiewicz and new candidate Susan Kanter are gearing up for this fall’s race for three available spots on the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE). At press time Kanter had officially filed with the Mercer County clerk, while Bronfeld and Stankiewicz, whose terms end this year, were preparing to file by the 4 p.m. July 29 deadline. Bill Hare, whose term also expires on January 1, 2020, was undecided, but “tending towards not filing” for re-election. The candidates will be competing for threeyear terms on the 10-member Board. Susan Kanter Kanter, a Princeton resident for more than 20 years, has had three children in the PPS for the past 17 years, the third graduating from Princeton High School (PHS) this past June. “After more than 15 years of active volunteer work in the PPS, I would like to deepen my involvement by serving on the PPS Board,” she wrote in an email. Kanter served as PHS PTO co-president for the past five years, and before that was treasurer of the John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS) PTO for five years. “I have also been a member of the PTO President’s Committee for the past five years, highlighting and giving voice to issues at PHS, while staying current on issues at the elementary schools and JWMS,” she said. Currently a board member and treasurer of

the 101 Scholarship Fund at PHS, Kanter also just joined the Princeton Children’s Fund board as treasurer. Kanter worked for 23 years as vice president of operations of a large multi-national wholesale firm in New York City before retiring more than 10 years ago. She received her B.A. in economics from Duke University. “I have witnessed firsthand how the issues of budget, referendum planning, equity, sustainability, and wellness can greatly impact our community,” she noted. “And through my volunteer work I have seen that the most impactful solutions are achieved when community and stakeholder input is solicited and is carefully considered. For example, as a parent representative on the PHS Bell Committee, which changed the start time and schedule at PHS to promote wellness, I saw the impact of creative, thoughtful change and the School Board’s important role in supporting that transformative process.” She continued, “As an elected PPS Board member, I will use my skills, experience, and knowledge to ensure that all students, families, and employees of the district feel supported, welcomed, and heard, and that they all have an equal opportunity to achieve their goals.” Debbie Bronfeld Bronfeld has been on the BOE for the past three years, serving on the Student Achievement and Finance

worked very hard with the administrators to be good stewards.” The BOE, he added, has pledged to do more advocacy at the state level, with budget challenges coming through rising enrollments, rising costs, and the expanding financial impact of the PCS. Stankiew icz also mentioned societal challenges facing t he d is t r ic t w it h competitive pressures and students sleeping less and feeling increasing stress. He noted the need to ensure that students “lead lives of joy and happiness.” “Student achievement improves when that happens,” he said. “I want to focus the attention of the community on the fact that our students are reporting much higher levels of stress than at any time in the past.”

Stankiewicz praised the “diverse array of opinions” on the Board. “We need to embrace our diversity,” he said, “and use that as a way of working through the obstacles that we face.” He noted that this is a “polarized time” in the country and he emphasized the importance of “bringing all of us together to tackle the issues that face our schools and our community.” BOE candidates for the November 5 election must file a nominating petition with the county clerk by the 4 p.m. July 29 deadline. Prospective candidates can download information and a NJSBA School Board Candidate Kit from the New Jersey School Boards Association’s website at www.njsba.org. —Donald Gilpin

Money Expended on Municipal Gas Station Could Be Better Spent Repairing Roads

We can emulate this by gradually expanding the boundaries of areas that have trees and shrubs, with a corresponding decrease in grass. By planting more trees and shrubs, especially natives, and reducing lawn that generates harmful runoff, we can enjoy the benefit of increased numbers of birds, butterflies, and other animals in our own backyards. Trees, of course, reduce runoff by absorbing storm water with their roots and by breaking the fall of rain with their leaves. And as is well known, trees absorb the harmful carbon dioxide that is causing climate change. That is why a central recommendation of Princeton’s proposed Climate Action Plan is to plant more trees. I hope all Princeton residents will consider incrementally reducing their lawn, and certainly their use of fertilizers and herbicides, as we see the unacceptable consequences for our water quality — both the water we swim and boat in, and the water we drink.

Area Psychotherapist Publishes Novel

Karyn Bristol, a Hopewell resident and psychotherapist, has published The Truth is a Theory, which Kirkus Reviews calls “an emotionally intense story of love and friendship.” Bristol, who maintains a therapy practice in Princeton, penned the novel over 12 years, writing mostly in the pre-dawn hours before her children woke up. “I wanted to show my kids that if you’re willing to work hard and make sacrifices, dreams can come true,” said Bristol. Bristol says she drew upon her 20 years of experience as a couples’ therapist to create the relationships in the book. “The Truth is a Theory is the story of the assumptions we make about important people in our lives, and how these fatally flawed ‘truths’ play out for four female friends,” Bristol says. The book was just released and is now available on Amazon. For more information, visit Amazon or the author’s website, www. karynbristol.com.

“As You Like It” Comes to the Mall in “Stranger Things 3”

uring the first season of Netflix’s Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers, Ross and Matt, waved a magic wand and gave us a once-in-alifetime character in Eleven, the fugitive child with telekinetic powers played with power and pathos by Millie Bobby Brown. In Stranger Things 3, the Duffers have conjured up a white rabbit surprise in the form of a romantic comedy that blends screwball fun and creature feature clout. No need to worry about spoiler alerts and such because when the dust clears what makes the ride worth taking has less to do with why or how or who gets slimed, who dies and who doesn’t, than with the old boygirl, man-woman, person-person scenario that’s been delighting audiences ever since Shakespeare dreamed up the star-crossed lovers in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Hollywood paired Katherine Hepburn’s scatterbrained Susan with Cary Grant’s hapless paleontologist in Bringing Up Baby, where romance turns on the search for a lost dinosaur bone, a dog named George, and a leopard named Baby. The best thing about the spectacular doings of the Mindflayer in Stranger Things 3 is the challenge it offers the various amusingly human couples fighting, arguing, laughing and loving their way through life-and-death situations. When it comes down to choosing between human beings and special effects, it’s the human moments you hold close. Twenty-two years this side of Titanic, what stays with you, the sinking of a luxury liner or the romance between Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack and Kate Winslet’s Rose? Falling for Rosalind After observing that “the greatest joy in the series at this stage comes from the way it’s evolved into a hangout sitcom with periodic monster attacks,” Rolling Stone’s Alan Sepinwall notes, almost in passing, that Maya Hawke “effortlessly steals every scene she’s in.” That doesn’t begin to do justice to what Hawke does as Robin, Steve Harrington’s co-worker at Starcourt Mall’s ice cream parlor Scoops Ahoy. She doesn’t steal scenes, she lights them up, enlivens them, makes them shine. You might as well say Helen Hunt steals scenes from Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets, or Julie Delpy from Ethan Hawke (Maya’s father) in Before Sunrise, or Uma Thurman (Maya’s mother) from John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. There’s a lot of truth in Sepinwall’s line about the evolution of Stranger Things, but at its best the show takes the “hangout sitcom” idea to another level, more along the lines of a shopping mall As You Like It with a sodium-pentothaled Rosalind and Orlando turning savage Russians into clowns. Surely the Duffer twins knew they were invoking Shakespeare when they gave the series a title echoing one of the most quoted lines in literature. At least

that’s how I saw it when I wrote about the first season in August 2016. It’s like the brothers are saying, “Hey audience, there are more things on heaven and earth and Hawkins, Indiana than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Which is roughly what Hamlet says when a freaked-out Horatio cries “O day and night, but this is wondrous strange” after Hamlet comes back shaken and babbling from a meeting with his father’s ghost, risen out of the Shakespearean version of the Upside Down. Even before I saw the first season, and read all the reviews focused on Stranger Things’ celebration of 1980s pop culture, I was thinking, by way of Walter Pater, “All art constantly aspires towards the condition of Shakespeare.” The Bard’s version of special effects was the theatrical spectacular of the ghost (a part played by the author himself), but what lives on is the language and the characters speaking it, which is the truth behind the title of H a r o l d B l o o m ’s Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human. Therein the great critic loses his heart to “the sublime Rosalind,” admitting that “falling in love” with her always makes him “wish she existed in our subliterary realm.” She’s “vital and beautiful, in spirit, in body and mind” and “has no equal in or out of Arden.” She’s “not a picnic of selves, as Hamlet sometimes becomes. Her changes unfold persuasively and only deepen the selfsame continuity of her nature.” Robin and Rosalind Agreed, Matt and Ross Duffer had no idea that they were fashioning an Indiana Rosalind when they imagined a high school girl named Robin scooping ice cream while blindsiding a redeemed douchebag with great hair named Steve (Joe Keery) at Starcourt Mall. But they had to know they’d found a very special actress, one they could actually learn from as they worked. In an interview with Time, Maya Hawke says that the Duffers “write the series as we’re filming it, and the character they had in mind evolved and changed as they got to know me better. Robin has a lot of walls with her dark sarcasm and her attitude, but as she gets more involved with Steve ... she can be herself more. That mirrors the process of the Duffers; taking the initial sketch of a bored teenager and fusing her with my energy as a hyper, warm, excitable person. It was

And thus I cured him...” Of course Orlando doesn’t want to be cured and neither, probably, does Steve. Embattled Couples Couples are key to the pleasures of Stranger Things 3. Like the rough and tumble screwball-Shakespearean pairing of David Harbour’s full-speed-ahead Sheriff Hopper and wonderful Winona Ryder’s equally energized Joyce Byers, mother of Will (Noah Schnapp) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), the other half of yet another battling embattled couple with girl reporter Nancy (Natalia Dyer), who is glad to be rid of the formerly loathsome Steve, redeemed as a leading man in the comedy romance with Robin. Meanwhile Eleven and Nancy’s brother Mike (Finn Wolfhard) are dealing with a typical adolescent disconnect thanks to Sheriff Jim’s unsubtle solution to the making-out-behindclosed-doors syndrome, which results in the couple formed when Max (Sadie Sink) enlightens Eleven about the battle of the sexes and takes her on a “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” spree at Starcourt. As for the boy genius Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), he joins Robin and Steve and Erica ( Priah Ferguson), the nerdish ice-cream-crazy sitcom sister to Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), in a journey to the center of the Mall. Finally, and what can you say — improbably, gloriously, beautifully — there’s the short-wave “Never Ending Story” duet between Dustin and Suzie Q (Gabriella Pizzolo), the girlfriend from science camp his friends had dismissed as imaginary. This scene is one of the Duffers’ most daring moves, the essence of the finale’s balancing of comedy, romance, and creature feature spectacle. Dustin tells Suzie he’s busy trying to save the world from monsters and Russians, but she’s insistent, so he sings, they sing, and romantics like myself who know there are stranger things “than are dreamt of in our philosophy” can’t help feeling a chill that has nothing to do with horror. eanwhile the pleasures of Stranger Things 3 have distracted me from the person who remains the radiant heart of the series, its secret weapon, its angel, its fallen superhero; though wounded and bereft, Eleven prevails in an incredible moment that can’t be described without a spoiler alert, so all I can do is say how gently and gracefully she plays the scene where she saves her life by saving a soul. —Stuart Mitchner

“Fine Quality Home Furnishings at Substantial Savings”

all shepherded by the Duffer brothers with me as a vessel more than anything else....In finding this new character, I had to put a lot on the canvas to make an image emerge... I think Robin has never felt at home in Hawkins, and if you don’t feel like you fit in, you work extra hard to get out. That’s where her knack for Russian and speaking four languages and being in a band comes from. I think it’s about her desire to make herself big enough to get free.... Women are just as capable of actionpacked adventures as men.” I was glad for the excuse to go back to As You Like It with the exhilarating adventures of Robin and Steve in mind, Robin always the dominant force, even when they’re captured by the Russians, tied back to back and high on truth serum. Centuries before Harold Bloom fell in love with Rosalind, William Hazlitt was swooning: “Rosalind’s character is made up of sportive gaiety and natural tenderness: her tongue runs the faster to conceal the pressure at her heart. She talks herself out of breath, only to get deeper in love.” You begin to think Hazlitt must have been streaming Stranger Things with a 19th-century remote when he observes “how full of voluble, laughing grace is all her convesation with Orlando .... How full of real fondness and pretended cruelty.” There’s a lot of talk online about Robin’s “coming out” when Steve is looking to take the romance farther. In spite of Hawke’s no doubt heartfelt admission to Time that “this moment is really important for kids and adults across the world,” I think Robin, like Rosalind, is far too rich a chararacter to be confined to so limited a reading or reduced to acronyms like LGBT or PC. If anything, her brief, almost offhand reference to having a crush on another girl is given so little play that Steve hardly has time to absorb it. Most of Shakespeare’s female characters (played by male actors at the time) have been here. Rosalind is passing as a boy, herself, when she tells Orlando (who has been posting terrible poems about her all over the forest of Arden) how she relieved one love-sick lad of the curse: “He was to imagine me his love, his mistress; and I set him every day to woo me: at which time would I, being but a moonish youth, grieve, be effeminate, changeable, longing and liking, proud,

THE SANDLOT

he New Jersey Symphony Orchestra spent last week in Princeton coaching and guiding four contemporary composers in an immersive laboratory experience through which the talented participants received musical and practical feedback about their pieces, composing for a symphonic orchestra, and getting music published and performed in today’s market. Dichotomy, conflict, and ultimate hope seemed to be the overriding themes of the pieces resulting from this year’s Edward T. Cone Composition Institute, as these works were presented in a concert entitled Scores last Saturday night at Richardson Auditorium. Led by Romanian conductor Cristian Macelaru, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra performed four works of the Cone Institute’s composers, along with an East Coast premiere of Institute director and Princeton University professor Steven Mackey. Puerto Rican composer and conductor Iván Enrique Rodríguez has focused his most recent works on social justice and activism. A Metaphor for Power, which received its world premiere in Saturday night’s performance, has been characterized as centered on “the current Latinx experience,” as well as ongoing equality issues in the United States. Quoting from the “Preamble” of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, Rodríguez described his piece as a “musical essay that attempts to address the present turbulence of ideologies, dreams, and hardhitting realities.” A Metaphor for Power began with passages of musical chaos suggesting the melting pot of individuals this country has become over the centuries. Macelaru controlled the orchestral sound well, as the musical palette became more spacious, referencing America with snippets of patriotic songs. The Orchestra effectively maintained dramatic tension, as a closing quote from the “Star-Spangled Banner” indicated that perhaps Rodríguez’s questions about equality and social justice remained unanswered. The music of Los Angeles-based Dan Caputo has explored the ways detailed aural textures and curious musical behaviors can potentially elicit complex psychological responses. In the composer’s own words, his pieces “concern themselves with dichotomies, or pairs of ideas that push and pull against each other.” Caputo’s Liminal explored the concept of “in-betweenness, much like the time between wakefulness and sleep,” and the way thoughts behave while a person is trying to fall asleep. Within Liminal, Caputo treated “one singular thought” motivically, often accompanied by the omnipresent sounds heard during a sleepless night. The Orchestra’s performance of Liminal was aided by unusual percussive effects, including creating sound from what looked like plastic bags. Orchestral and film composer Patrick O’Malley describes his compositional approach as inspired by mysterious dichotomies in nature and art, and considers the listener’s imagination as a key component to a composition’s construction. O’Malley’s

Rest and Restless, originally composed as a solo for double bass, also explored the idea of dichotomy, creating a musical “emotional landscape” in which moods alternate. O’Malley’s full orchestration of his initial piece has brought a rich luster to the work, adding breadth and color to the original double bass lines. Melodic effect was found in Rest and Restless through elegant instrumental solos, including from English hornist Andrew Adelson. Korean-American composer, vocalist and sound artist Bora Yoon is known for her use of unconventional instruments and musical technology in her music and for fusing “classical, electronic, and cultural intersections using elements from a variety of cultures and centuries to formulate a storytelling through music and song.” Yoon described the two-movement The Wind of Two Koreas as inspired by both the history of a divided Korea and the early orchestral works of Igor Stravinsky and his connection with Russian folklore and cultural mythology. Through this piece, Yoon has sought to depict how a culture has been split apart, and with the incorporation of well-known Korean folk tunes, how music has changed people. The influence of Stravinsky could definitely be heard in the driving lower strings in the first movement with martial passages conveying the militarism of Korea’s history. Yoon’s graceful combination of harp and flute in the second movement took the audience to a spacious Asian garden, and instrumental solos from bassoon and horn added a bit of weight to the musical palette. Like the other pieces on Saturday night’s program, The Wind of Two Koreas ended in hope, depicting a present culture in a country trying to unify. Steven Mackey’s works are well-known throughout the world, and the annual Cone Institute concert traditionally closes with a piece by this Princeton professor, paying homage to his directorship of this pioneering musical workshop. Mackey composed Portals, Scenes and Celebrations in 2018 to celebrate the retirement of conductor Michael Tilson Thomas from the San Francisco Symphony. The work was constructed of five movements connected by portals in the time/space continuum, linked by simple melodies and many instrumental solos throughout the Orchestra. This was clear from the opening trombone solo, answered by clarinet, and unusual percussion scoring, including an instrumentalist playing an open glass bottle. The musical atmosphere was also marked by unusual scoring for the trombones and quick-fingered violin solo work from concertmaster Brennan Sweet. ew Jersey Symphony Orchestra created the Cone Institute as a laboratory for the creative process and to give up-and-coming composers the opportunity to collaborate with an Orchestra of this size and level. The composers in this year’s Institute very much reflect our current times, creating works with lasting power and taking Edward T. Cone’s legacy with them from Princeton throughout the world. —Nancy Plum

The Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., now features “The Poetry of Sculpture : Raymond Granville Barger (1906 –2001),” on view through October 20. Visitors have the opportunity to meander through the indoor and outdoor exhibition viewing objects from the museum’s permanent collection as well as several loans, many of which come from private collections. Rarely exhibited works from the 1930s provide insight into Barger’s early classical approach, while later sculptures signal his development as a symbolic abstractionist as well as a technical innovator. While best-known for his monumental outdoor sculptures, including works for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, Barger also created smaller-scale, more intimate works for interior spaces. His Transition, a 25-foot long bronze sculpture originally commissioned for the J. C. Penney Headquarters Building in New York City in 1965, has graced the Byers Garden at the Michener

Raymond Barger believed that artists and sculptors should work hand in hand with architects and industrial leaders, shaping the contemporary scene. A graduate of the Carnegie Institute of Technology and Yale University School of Fine Arts, Barger moved to Carversville, Pennsylvania in 1966, where he and his wife, Lilas, had a significant impact on the region’s cultural landscape for many years. “The Poetry of Sculpture” celebrates the life and works of this influential artist. From the 1930s to the 1950s, a period less welldocumented than Barger’s later career, the sculptor also had a successful business in model making and photography for architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Barger’s primary focus centered on sculpture, but he also excelled in poetry and writing. He wrote prolifically and referred to himself as both poet and sculptor. His poetry expands on

art, perhaps most evident in his magnum opus Equality. Raymond Barger believed that humanity could be understood, shaped, and improved through art — visual and literary — a potent belief powerfully illustrated by the present exhibition. In addition to the works on display in the Beans Gallery, three sculptures are on view in the entry courtyard and sculpture garden, and visitors are encouraged to explore and enjoy the Michener’s outdoor spaces as well as its galleries for its first solo exhibition commemorating Barger’s work. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 Pine Street in Doylestown, Pa. For more information, call (215) 3409800 or visit www.michenerartmuseum.org.

Pursuing Olympic Dream by Excelling in 3x3 Hoops, PU Alum Maddox Playing for U.S. in Pan Am Games

ive years after former Princeton University men’s basketball star Kareem Maddox retired from playing professional ball overseas, he has a realistic shot at the 2020 Olympics. After working as a radio host and producer in his hometown Los Angeles and then Colorado, the 2011 Princeton graduate has revived a chance at his childhood dream through 3x3 basketball which will be contested at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo for the first time. “It’s unbelievable,” said the multi-talented 6’ 8, 220-pound Maddox. “When I was a radio host out in Colorado, I seriously considered taking up Olympic speed walking. I thought that might be something I could make the Olympics for. I love the Olympics. Being able to walk with Team USA into the opening ceremony and to compete with ‘USA’ across your chest, there aren’t many honors like that in the sports world, so the fact that I have the potential to do that for playing basketball is unbelievable. When you think of Team USA basketball, you think of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, you don’t think of Kareem Maddox.” Maddox boosted his confidence and his Olympic team chances when he teamed up with Robbie Hummel, Damon Huffman, and Canyon Barry to help the United States defeat Latvia for its first World Cup championship title at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup in Amsterdam on June 23. “To win it the year before the Olympics is massive,” said Maddox. “It’s important to show we can have that success. It was also important because we have to finish in the top three in that World Cup to get a bid into the Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT). There’s still a chance that the USA can qualify automatically to the Olympics.” If the United States finishes in the top three at the OQT, it would qualify automatically for one of eight spots in the Olympics. The other spots will be taken by the top FIBA ranked teams on November 1, 2019, based on results at worldwide FIBA events. USA Basketball is ranked eighth currently in a FIBA system that awards points for tournament finishes. “You basically travel and play tournaments all around the world,” Maddox said. “Last year, we played in 17 tournaments in 14 different countries. This year, we’ve been in China three times already. We played another tournament in Novi Sad, Serbia, we played one in Moscow. You travel around and do these tournaments and try to gain points. Every tournament has a cash prize for finishing first through fourth. Most Eastern European guys that play 3x3, that’s how they make a living. For us, we all hold day jobs and try to travel on weekends and play in these

tournaments.” Maddox, for his part, is still a producer five days per week and juggles being an aspiring Olympian several weekends per year. He lives and works in New York City and produces “The Pitch,” a Gimlet Media podcast that he calls an audio version of the TV show “Shark Tank.” He loves his day job, but also is determined to get to the Olympics, something he wasn’t sure could happen with basketball after he retired in 2014 following two years playing overseas and even after jumping back on the court in 2016-2017 with a season in Poland. “When I retired, I did three years of radio journalism for different NPR stations in L.A. and Colorado, producing and hosting, but then I woke up one day and said, ‘I still want to play ball,’” recalled Maddox. “I came out of retirement and went to Poland and had a pretty good season. When I came back, I was torn. I wanted to play and I had a whole other career. I had made headway in being a host and producer, but I felt like I still had ball in me. It just so happened that 3x3 had become an Olympic sport, and my dream had always been to play in the Olympics since at least 1996 when I went to the Atlanta Olympics. It felt like everything happened for a reason. I needed that year in Poland to get me back and then convince me that I wanted to play potentially in the Olympics in 2020. Once I saw that, I felt like I don’t need 5x5 anymore, I’m a full-time 3x3 player.” The FIBA 3x3 game is different from what many grew up playing at basketball camps, playgrounds and practices. Games are first team to 21 points or 10 minutes with baskets earning one-point, or two-points if from behind the international three-point arc. The 12-second shot clock begins as soon as a team rebounds the basketball or takes the ball from a made basket. “There’s only three guys on the court so everyone has to be able to do everything – dribble, pass, and shoot,” said Maddox. “Everyone has to make quick decisions, be good with the ball, be good off the ball. There’s nowhere to hide on a 3x3 court. The best 3x3 players are versatile. Being tall because everyone needs to rebound is helpful. A lot of guys in 5x5 can specialize and do one thing really well. You can be a shooter. That’s a little different for 3x3. Everyone has to be able to do everything at all times. You have to be in pretty good shape. It’s like a 10-minute sprint. It’s a lot more taxing, we think, than most 5x5 games.” As the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year and a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection in 2011, Maddox is using some of the same skills he honed at Princeton to make a name for himself in 3x3. He was selected June 28 for the USA Men’s 3x3 Pan Ameri-

can Games team that will play in the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, from July 27-August 10. “Chemistry is huge,” said Maddox. “Chemistry and teamwork are very big in 3x3. It’s more important than in 5x5. The teams that are the best at 3-on-3 are Eastern European teams that have been playing 3x3 exclusively for the last eight years. They’re ahead of the game. Having three guys that have been competing against the best teams in the world in 3-on-3 – namely Serbia, Slovenia, and Latvia – it’s huge. It’s another sport. It’s played differently and there’s a style. There’s things that work and things that don’t. Having three guys that played together and know the game was very big in terms of us being able to win the World Cup.” As of July 3, Maddox was ranked sixth among American 3x3 players, but statistics can’t tell the full story of how Maddox can help a team. His defensive value is undeniable, and Maddox has spurts offensively. He had a tournament-high six points against top-seeded Serbia at the World Cup. He gathered 6.0 rebounds per game in the World Cup as well. “My game was probably always more suited towards 3x3,” said Maddox. “I’m a better shooter now. You have to be able to be able to shoot the 3-pointer. I’ve always been a driver/ slasher. You have to be able to play inside-out. I haven’t really changed my game.” Maddox was named as the Most Valuable Player of the 2018 USA Basketball 3x3 National Championship and played for the winning 2019 Red Bull USA Basketball 3x3 Nationals winner. Nationally, he plays for Team Ariel Slow & Steady, a nod to Princeton University graduate John Rogers, the CEO of Ariel Investments who has been a supporter of former Tigers players. Dan Mavraides, another Princeton graduate who played with Maddox, is part of the team. Internationally, they play at Team Princeton (FIBA requires every team to be attached to a town/city). Team Princeton was second in the Nanjing Challenge in China. Maddox’s play in the national championship tournament helped earn him selection to the World Cup team. “Almost everyone on our team comes from the greater Coach Carril tree, having played for a coach who was a former Princeton coach or was mentored by Pete Carril,” said Maddox, who scored 822 points and had 456 rebounds in 104 games during his Princeton career. “We play the system. It’s natural for us. We all know the Princeton system. It just so happens that the Princeton system is pretty applicable to 3x3. We do a lot of passing, and cutting and shooting from behind the arc. It’s twos and ones in 3x3 so the 2-point shot which would be the threepoint shot in 5x5 is more

valuable in 3x3 because it’s worth twice as much as a normal shot.” Over the next few months, Maddox will be bolstering his resume and preparing for the Pan Am Games. He anticipates playing international tournaments twice per month with commitments already to go to Chengdu, China and Amsterdam. He’s trying to put himself in the best position when USA Basketball selects an Olympic team. “It’s No. 1, balancing everything and making sure that I’m in the gym every day becoming the best basketball player I can be,” said Maddox. “No. 2, it’s about playing my role to help the USA potentially qualify either automatically or if it comes down to the qualifying tournament and making that team as well. All those things come down to me being the best basketball player I can. If I do that, I’ve done my job. Obviously continuing to play on the pro circuit, which is how I can help the USA earn points toward qualifying, is important. All those things come back to being consistent, and being in the best shape, and being the best basketball player possible.” Maddox always wanted the opportunity to represent the United States in the Olympics and his Princeton career was a big part of his initial development as a player. The advent of FIBAsponsored 3x3 was crucial too, and even in the United States, 3x3 basketball has gotten exposure through the recent Big3 league that uses former pro players. It’s opened a door for Maddox, not just to get back into basketball but to possibly make it to the Olympics. “Somehow it makes sense,” said Maddox. “It’s one of those things where I feel like I learned how to play basketball at Princeton the right way, and it also instilled a love for the game in me. It’s not going to be easy to get rid of. I appreciate every moment of this journey.” —Justin Feil

ELITE GATHERING: Princeton University men’s basketball player Jaelin Llewellyn heads upcourt in a game last season. Last week, Llewellyn was one of 20 players invited to participate in the Chris Paul Elite Guard Camp held in Winston-Salem, N.C. Llewellyn is coming off a 2018-19 freshman season in which he started all 21 games that he played after missing the first seven games due to injury and illness. Even with the missed games, Llewellyn led the team in assists with 55. He ended up as one of four Tigers to average double-figure scoring, tallying 10.1 points a game. Numerous attendees of the Chris Paul camp have gone on to be NBA draft picks and players. From last year’s camp roster, Quinndary Weatherspoon, Justin Wright-Foreman, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Tremont Waters, Carsen Edwards, and Ty Jerome were taken in the 2019 NBA Draft. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) taking down Korea (3-2) and China (3-2), but falling to Russia (0-3) and Portugal (0-3). In the 9-16th place quarterfinals, Dixon and the team were defeated by Switzerland (0-3) before losses to Chile (1-3) and Argentina (0-3).

Legendary Princeton University women’s lacrosse head coach Chris Sailer has been named as the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) MidAtlantic Coach of the Year, the organization announced last week. A U.S. National Hall of Fame inductee, this is Sailer’s seventh IWLCA Regional Coach of the Year Award. Sailer led Princeton to the 2019 Ivy League regular-season and tournament championships and then coached her team to a pair of NCAA tournament wins before falling 17-12 to Boston College in the quarterfinals to end the spring at 16-4. Princeton’s season opening 16-7 win over Temple gave Sailer 400 career wins, making her the second Division I women’s coach to reach that milestone. Sailer will be honored at the IWLCA Annual Meetings held November 20-22, 2019 at the Hilton West Palm Beach.

Brennan. “I ended up falling in love with it.” At the outset, Brennan had to learn the ropes with her fellow walk-ons. “We spent a lot of time inside on the machines and we moved into the tanks, which I hadn’t seen, but I think that is one of the best ways to practice,” said Brennan. “That was the most helpful thing for me and then they took us out on the boats kind of soon. We would be going like fours, sixes, and then eights finally. At the beginning, it is so difficult to set the boat by eight if you have no idea how to do it. It was all of the walk-ons, it was a blast.” Finally get ting out on Lake Carnegie was a blast for Brennan, highlighted by taking part in the Princeton Chase in late October. “It was exciting because you have practiced so much on the inside on the machines and stuff so finally getting out in the boats, it is ‘OK, this is why we do that,’” said Brennan. “I think the most exciting thing was competing in the Chase in the fall. It is a five-kilometer race instead of a twokilometer, which was definitely different. It was sustained pace instead of eight minutes all out in the 2K. You don’t all go side by side, you go one by one and it is based off the times. It was exciting to compete in a boat. I was in an eight.” That experience sealed the

Wednesday is a heavy fitness day; it is is all about speed testing with 1Ks, 2Ks, 3Ks.

When Brennan went across town last fall to start her freshman year at Princeton University, she felt a void in her life. “I missed being on a team,” said Brennan. “I think it is one of the biggest things that I loved about high school, having my teammates and having that connection with them.” Searching for a new sporting outlet, Brennan went to the school’s athletic exposition last September to survey her options. “One of the coaches on the men’s lightweight team came up to me and asked asked me ‘how would you like to be on a Division I team?’” said Brennan, whose older sister Sarah, a 2018 Princeton alum, played four seasons for the Tiger field hockey program. “I kind of laughed and said ‘I don’t think that is going to happen.’ He was like, ‘you could, women’s lightweight rowing is looking to get walk ons.’” Brennan decided to take his advice and quickly found a home with the women’s lightweight crew program. “I showed up at the boathouse and I thought, if nothing else, this will be a fun way to meet people,” said

Former PDS Lax Star Kane Enjoys Debut at F&M, Helping Diplomats Reach NCAA D-III Quarters When Bridget Kane started going to the Franklin & Marshall lacrosse camp in seventh grade, she was focusing on sharpening her skills. “I did the college camps, not to get recruited but to improve my game,” said Kane. Entering the Princeton Day School in the fall of 2014, Kane got serious about the college recruiting process. “My freshman year is when I started going to the big recruiting tournaments,” said Kane. “It was really real, that it is was an option to play in college.” Kane went on enjoy a superb career PDS, scoring more than 100 goals and helping the Panthers win

three state Prep B titles When it came to playing at the next level, Kane quickly realized that F&M and its storied Division III lax squad was a natural fit. “I wanted a high academic school where I was going to be challenged and also a successful lacrosse program,” said Kane, whose father, Ron Kane, the longtime boys’ basketball head coach at the Lawrenceville School was a three-sport athlete at F&M. “From the start, I always felt very comfortable at F&M because I was so familiar with it. The fact that they offered both of those factors that I wanted in a school made the decision really easy for me. Just from

getting to know coach [Mike Faith] and going to camp and the players there was something special about being on the team itself being a Diplomat and playing at F&M.” During fall ball, Kane developed a comfort level with her new teammates. “It was much more serious from the start, but I was ready to take on that challenge,” said Kane. “I knew it was going to be a bigger commitment itself. I have always been willing to out in the extra time to make practices more beneficial and enjoyable. What made it really easy from the start was that all of the upperclassmen on my team reached out to the

other freshmen and I in our recruiting class. They wanted to get to know us very quickly so going into the first day of practice, I was familiar with my teammates. I already had trust in them and they had trust in me and the other freshmen.” Kane was part of the supporting cast this spring for the Diplomats, playing as a reserve midfielder, coming off the bench to score two goals and get three assists in 13 appearances. “I just wanted to take advantage of any position I was given, whether that was cheering on the sidelines or being a player in a big game,” said Kane. “I was going into it knowing that I was just thankful to be on the team and to take advantage of how lucky I am to be in a position that I was in.”

Making her debut against Messiah on March 2 in the team’s third game was a big moment for Kane. “That was exciting; it was great to finally put all of my practice time onto the field,” said Kane. “Finally getting out on the field helped me feel more comfortable for the rest of the season. I did gain a lot more confidence.” For Kane, getting up to speed at the college level required her to adjust to a faster pace. “The speed of the game is big but there were a lot of rule changes from high school,” said Kane. “We have the shot clock, which I really like a lot. We also have the self-start rule. In high school, the refs would blow the whistle on the field and everybody would stop. Now you can keep moving. It is a whole new game that I wasn’t really used to.” Kane enjoyed a breakthrough game in a 16-0 win at Bryn Mawr in early April when she scored her first career goal and picked up two assists. “That was a great game, definitely one I will remember,” said Kane. “It was really the first game where I really felt like myself. I used that game to my advantage the rest of the season. I finally put it all together, all I worked for from fall ball throughout February and preseason so that was really special.” The Diplomats produced a special season, taking a ninegame winning streak into the Centennial Conference championship contest. “We had a really good run; we knew that we had very tough competition,” said Kane. “We always said before every game that everyone could beat us so we need to have the mindset of let’s not let them beat us or quit. Going into that mindset helped us play our best.” Although F&M fell 16-6 to Gettysburg in the title game, it rebounded from that setback to advance to the NCAA D-III quarterfinals. “The conference final didn’t reflect our play; we knew it wasn’t our day,” said Kane,

noting that the Diplomats had defeated Gettysburg 9-6 in a regular season meeting between the rivals. “We all reflected on it the day after. We got our bids that night and that we have a good spot and we knew we could go really far in the tournament. That loss never stopped us from playing our best.” Contributing to the team’s NCA A run, Kane picked up an assist in a 19-7 win over Illinois Wesleyan in the Sweet 16. “That was exciting, just being able to play in all of those tournament games,” said Kane, reflecting the team’s late surge which saw it fall 16-4 to eventual national champion Middlebury in the Elite 8 to finish the spring with a 17-5 record. “It really helped me finish off the year on a high and start looking forward to next season.” While Kane hoped to see more game action this season, training every day with skilled teammates helped her become a better player. “I definitely think that practice helped; my team is very competitive and our coach always says that playing time is a privilege, not an expectation,” said Kane. “Knowing that, I have always tried to take every practice like a tryout and play my best. I was playing against better players than I did sometimes in games. My confidence as a player grew throughout the year.” Looking ahead to next season, Kane is confident that she can have a bigger impact for the high-powered Diplomats, who have won two D-III national titles (2007, 2009) and have made 21 NCAA tournament appearances. “Going into this year, I know what I have to do to succeed individually and, more importantly, for my team as well,” said Kane. “My goals are to help my team; I try to always throw the extra pass and see the field the well. I want to take advantage of every opportunity I get on and off the field, always trying to do the extra thing to make the most out of every practice and game.” —Bill Alden

With Tyler Jones Tallying 16 Points in 2nd Half Blitz, NJ Spiritwear Rolls Into Summer Men’s Hoops Semis A week ago, NJ Spiritwear cruised to a 69-46 win over Hometown Moving and Storage at the Community Park courts in its final game of regular season play in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League. When the teams met for a rematch in a quarterfinal contest inside a steamy John Witherspoon Middle School gym last Monday evening, second-seeded Spiritwear struggled to find a rhythm in the early going against seventh-seeded Hometown Moving, clinging to a 16-12 lead at halftime In reflecting on the sluggish start for Spiritwear, guard Tyler Jones acknowledged that moving inside to the stifling gym took some adjustment. “The indoor court was the biggest difference,” said Jones. “We started off a little slow. It is hot in here and the ball got a little wet.” Jones got off to a hot start in the second half, scoring eight straight points as Spiritwear reeled off a 12-3 run to break the game open, never looking back on the way to a 61-33 rout. “The shot was falling early,” said Jones, who tallied 16 points in the second half to give him a game-high 21 on the night. “I hit a couple of threes late in the second half. It just felt good.” The three guard set of Troy Jones and Matt Paulus along with Jones displayed good ball movement and sharp shooting from the perimeter as Spiritwear pulled away. “It is two hoopers looking for each other,” said Jones, referring to his connection with Troy Jones.

“We have a very unselfish team. Matt can shoot it, he can pass it, and then our wings run the floor and create open shots on the fast breaks.” Jones fits in well with that unselfish mentality. “I just try to do anything to help us win,” said the 5’11, 165 -pounds Jones, who starred at the Peddie School before helping Fairleigh Dickinson University make the NCAA tournament last winter and has transferred to Goldey-Beacom College, a Division II program located in Delaware. “Today it was scoring a little bit. In previous games, I have been passing the ball a lot more, facilitating, and playing defense.” With Spiritwear having advanced to the best-of-three championship series last year in its league debut before falling to Loyaltees in a decisive third game, Jones and his teammates are hoping to take the next step this summer. “I am a new addition, a lot of these guys are new but it is the same mentality,” said Jones, whose team now faces third-seeded Apex Sport in one semifinal on Friday while top-seeded Loyaltees is playing eighth-seeded Team NRGY and fourthseeded Majeski Foundation facing fifth-seeded Sakana on Wednesday to complete the quarters with the victors in those matchups advancing to the other semi and the championship series slated to start on July 29. “It is one game a time, knock off each team that is in front of us. Hopefully we get to knock out Loyaltees.” —Bill Alden

Martha E. Peck

Louise Grafton 1941-2019

Martha Ehlkes Peck, widow of John G. Peck, Jr., died on July 17, 2019. She was born in Morristown, New Jersey, but spent most of her life in the Griggstown, Kingston, and Princeton areas. She received a B ach elor of Science degree in Education from Jersey City University, and a Master of Education from Rutgers University, School of Education. She served 43 years as an elementary teacher in Metuchen, teaching grades three and four. She served on the board of Church Women United and was an active member of the Lutheran Church of the Messiah in Princeton. Martha is survived by her brother-in-law, Wm. Robert Peck; godchildren, Deborah Krocheski of PA, and William R. Taylor of VA; and many relatives in Germany. There will be a memorial service at the Lutheran Church of the Messiah, 407 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08540 on August 19, 2019 at 11 a.m., followed by graveside committal in Princeton Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Lutheran Church of the Mes-

Louise Grafton died peacefully at home in Princeton on July 20, 2019. The cause of death was pancreatic cancer. Born in Philadelphia on December 12, 1941, Louise studied English at the University of Pennsylvania, where she took her BA with highest honors, in 1962, and at Indiana University, where she received her MA in 1964. She then joined the founding faculty at Jefferson County Community College, now Jefferson College, in Hillsboro, Missouri. In 1967 she moved to De Paul University in Chicago, where she was awarded tenure in the Department of English and taught until 1975. In Chicago Louise started on what became her real career in technical theater. Since her childhood, she had practiced crafts of many kinds. Beginning as a volunteer maker of props at Court Theater, then the summer Shakespeare theater of the University of Chicago, she taught herself to make just about anything needed for a play that was not part of a set or a costume: furniture, armor, weapons, food, statuary. Her summers at Court and a season at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, where she worked with James Bakkom, equipped

her with formidable skills. In 1975, Louise moved to New Jersey with her husband Tony and found a position as a prop maker at the New York Shakespeare Festival. In the decades to come she worked on several Broadway shows and for the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, the Prospect Theatre Company at the Old Vic in London, the Big Apple and Royal Hanneford circuses, the Westminster Choir College’s Opera Theatre, and the Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival. For many years she taught prop making at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. From 2014 to 2019 she made props for the Musical Theatre program at Rider University, for which she had a special affection. She also built historical reconstructions for the New York Public Library, the Princeton University History Department, and PBS, and worked on the Academy Award-winning film A Beautiful Mind. Louise kept many of her favorite creations. Visitors to her house encountered marvel after marvel: a red dragon, a she-devil, a giant pickle, and a statue of the Madonna and child (which appeared in a number of productions of Tosca). A devoted and beloved teacher, Louise gladly shared everything she knew with colleagues and students. In 197374 she studied upholstery in London with a gentleman she knew only as Mr. Marshall, the retired upholsterer to King George VI. He taught her the traditional craft, starting with bare wood and horsehair. For decades afterwards she initiated Rutgers students into what she called “the way of Mr. Marshall.” Making and hearing music were central to Louise’s life. As a student she was the first woman to march with the Penn band, in which she played the clarinet. In later life she sang with many choral groups, most recently The Masterwork Chorus, with which she several times performed Handel’s

Messiah in Carnegie Hall. Music and prop-making came together for her in the Westminster Opera Theatre: working closely with gifted young singers gave her great joy. Louise spent long periods in London, Oxford, Pasadena, Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna with her husband and family, and traveled to Australia, the Galapagos, Alaska, and Russia with her sister Nancy. She is survived by her husband, Tony; her sister, Nancy; her son, Sam, of Washington, DC, his wife Amanda and their daughter Catie; her daughter, Anna, of Brooklyn, NY, her husband David and their daughter Alice. A celebration of her life will take place in the fall. In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory may be made to Partners in Health or the Rescue Mission of Trenton.

on, Carina, and Andrew. Nancy graduated from Phillipsburg High School in 1961 and later continued her education at Churchman’s Business College in Easton, Pennsylvania. In 1963, she met A. Douglas Davis of Belvidere, NJ, and the two were married in 1964. In 1969, Nancy moved to Princeton with her husband and young son Douglas, where she worked as a bookkeeper for several businesses and managed Polly’s Fine Candy on Palmer Square. She served as a supportive baseball mom and assistant coach to her son’s teams for seven years and was a loved member of her community with her involvement in the Princeton Fire Department and the Princeton School District. Her favorite pastimes were sitting on a pile of dirt planting her flowers, baking cakes for her grandchildren, and caring for her dog Mindy. Nancy was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and an adored grandmother. She will be honored on Thursday, July 25th from 5-8 p.m. at the MatherHodge Funeral Home. The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to cancer research.

Doug Stuart (Lisa) of Lake Oswego, OR, her daughter Betsy Antonellis (Mike) of Franklin, MA, and four grandchildren, Taylor and Wyatt Stuart, and Mickey and Lilly Antonellis. Harriet was born in South Bend, Indiana, the daughter of Wayne Smith and Harriet Bury. Her family moved to Omaha, Nebraska, then to Anderson, Indiana, before settling in Cazenovia, New York, in 1946 where she lived through high school. She was a member of the National Honor Society and was active in drama and sports. She was especially proud of a trophy she won for “Best All Around Senior Girl Athlete.” Harriet graduated from the University of Michigan in 1961 then worked at Procter and Gamble in market research before moving to Chicago where she worked at the Harris Bank. She married in 1964 and moved to New York and worked at the 1964 World’s Fair. The next year she got a job with Sperry Univac as a systems analyst then left that job to raise a family. The family lived in Illinois, Missouri, New York, and Texas before moving to Princeton Junction in 1974. She has lived in the Princeton area ever since. After divorcing in 1976 she held several jobs before settling into the religion department at Princeton University. She admired both the students and faculty and retired in 1999. She has always enjoyed volunteering, travel, the theatre, playing bridge, and crafts, especially basket weaving for the last several years. Harriet was member of Trinity Church in Princeton for 45 years where she volunteered through her final months. A memorial service will be held there at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 33 Mercer Street, followed by a reception in Pierce Hall. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the 24 Club of Princeton: http://24-club.org/ club/bequests-to-support-the24-club/810-2.

They can inspect, clean and tune up your unit for maximum efficiency. Keep your unit out of direct sun. Shaded space is naturally cooler.

Built in 1960 for Robert H. Taylor, this Princeton home is of modernist design, set back from the street, a perfect example of “less is more.” Take a few steps inside and dramatic lake views unfold, acting as the backdrop for the elegantly scaled interior spaces. The living room is over twelve feet high, having floor to ceiling windows overlooking Lake Carnegie. 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 to2the lake.
