Challengers Take On Three Incumbents In School Board Race Three incumbents and two new candidates will be competing for three positions on the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE) in the upcoming November 8 election.

At the 4 p.m. Monday, July 25 deadline, new candidates Lishian “Lisa” Wu and Margarita Rafalovsky, along with incumbents Debbie Bronfeld, Susan Kanter, and Dafna Kendal, had filed with the Mercer County Clerk to run for threeyear terms on the Princeton BOE. Bronfeld and Kendal, who is currently BOE president, will be running for their third terms, and Kanter will be seeking her second term in office.

Wu and Rafalovsky have not yet responded to email and phone requests for commentary on their campaigns. The three incumbents provided statements and background information for an article in the July 13 Town Topics, and all the candidates will be discussed more fully and provided a forum for their opinions in a fall issue of Town Topics.

Though a new candidate for BOE, Wu is a familiar figure on the local political scene. She ran for Princeton Council in 2018 on the Republican ticket, losing out to Democrats Dwaine Williamson and Eve Niedergang. In 2019 she ran for Mercer County Executive and lost to incumbent Democrat Brian Hughes.

A resident of Elm Court on Elm Road, Wu was born in Taiwan and came to the United States to study at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1974. She raised three children as a single mother.

Her professional background is in accounting and her concerns as a candidate for the School Board are likely to be similar to those of her previous campaigns: spending and taxes, transparency, and openness to public input.

Rafalovsky, a Library Place resident with extensive experience in the financial service industry, came into the public sphere earlier this year as co-founder and board trustee of Princeton Citizens Alliance. A nonprofit that provides input on local issues and acts to address the concerns of the community, Princeton Citizens Alliance took a strong stand against allowing cannabis dispensaries in town.

In a February 2 Town Topics letter to the editor, Rafalovsky wrote that she Continued on Page 9

Momos Seek to Raze and Rebuild on Witherspoon At an upcoming meeting of Princeton’s Planning Board, the future of a corner of Witherspoon Street and Paul Robeson Place will be considered. The property, at 70-74 Witherspoon, was the subject of a “courtesy review” held by the town’s Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) on July 18.

The owners, restauranteurs Raoul and Carlo Momo (CRX Associates), plan to tear down two 19th century buildings at the site, home for the past few decades to Terra Momo Bread Company and A Taste of Cuba cigar parlor. They propose to replace them with a three-story, mixed use project containing a restaurant/wine bar, bakery, and gourmet market on the first floor, and apartments on the two upper levels. The architect is Leslie Dowling, wife of Carlo Momo.

The corner has a distinctive history, but is not officially designated historic. From 1931 to 1976, it was home to a beauty salon run by Virginia Mills, whose husband was the first Black postman in Princeton.

Toto’s Market, which closed in 1987 after 75 years, was also located there.

Before offering their own comments, members of the HPC heard from the Momos’ attorney Tom Letizia, and Carlo Momo. Letizia asserted that the buildings are going to be demolished no matter what, and there was no legal basis for

the review because the buildings are not mentioned in the town’s master plan.

“However, we are here in good faith, and hoping that with some discussion, perhaps we can incorporate something into the plan that will commemorate the history [of the site],” he said. “I think there are ways we can show evidence of that history, and tell the public who will be customers of this new restaurant — and even the apartment tenants above — about the history that occurred on this property.”

Carlo Momo said that since CRX Associates bought the buildings nearly 25 years ago, neighboring Princeton Public Library and the Arts Council of Princeton were reconstructed, the Residences at Palmer Square was built, and the site housing the restaurants Elements and Mistral underwent a substantial reconstruction. The presence of dumpsters, closings of Witherspoon Street, and other factors related to these projects caused Continued on Page 9

Council to Return to In Person, But Zoom Remains an Option Starting on Monday, September 12, Princeton Council will be back to the prepandemic practice of meeting in person.

The governing body adopted a resolution at its Monday, July 25 meeting, making it official.

While attending via Zoom will still be an option, Council made it clear that because internet connections sometimes fail, the only way to guarantee participation in a meeting is to show up at Witherspoon Hall. A bit later in the meeting, as if on cue, the connection went down for a few minutes.

Meetings will be noticed for gathering in person, but the technology to meet

virtually will be available. Should there be a rise in COVID-19 cases, the meetings would switch back to being held virtually.

“It has been part of the process of thinking that through,” said Mayor Mark Freda.

“We had a trial run-through, and everything looked and sounded good. So we hope to be able to accommodate those who wish to be in person, or those who want to watch from home.”

Council voted unanimously in favor of an ordinance appropriating $388,000 to pay for replacement of the cooling tower and circulator motors at Princeton Public Library. The specific wording appropriates Continued on Page 9

GARBAGE TRUCK FIRE: No one was injured when a truck caught fire on Wednesday, July 20 just after 2 p.m. in the parking lot behind Princeton Shopping Center, next to Grover Park. Joe Novak, Princeton Fire official, said the fire started when a piece of carboard or trash that got wedged between the cab and the body of the truck ended up against the hot exhaust manifold.

Stores at the shopping center were evacuated while firefighters got the fire under control, which took 20 minutes.

preparation for a major planting initiative in the fall.

“Before this program I knew a little bit about trees, but I didn’t know anything about planting or how to compost or anything like that,” said local resident Malachi Brown, who has been on the job for about six weeks so far in this 12week pilot program. “This program is about education. You really learn how to self-preserve as far as getting your own fruits and vegetables from the garden is concerned.”

TCC worker R ay mond Brooks added, “It’s interesting and it’s fun. And we might be saving the future of the planet.”

Isles Inc., a community development and environmental organization, recently launched the TCC in seeking to support the local community in mitigating the effects of climate change and teaching corps members marketable skills in environmental industries to help them gain future employment.

The TCC is part of a regional and national effort.

There are about 10 organizations with climate corps programs in the Delaware Valley with support from The William Penn Foundation and The Corps Network.

In addition to tree inventory and planting, the TCC crew is pursuing climate change mitigation efforts in urban agriculture, stormwater mitigation, and neighborhood cleanups, working to improve both short- and long-term viability and safety of city living.

Their work will help to combat the heat island effect that causes cities to be several degrees warmer than the suburbs, as well as improving stormwater runoff systems to help reduce the effects of flooding in the aftermath of increasingly volatile storms.

Isles Deputy Director of Community Planning and Development Jim Simon, who overs ee s t he TCC, commented on their efforts in Cadwalader Park. He

noted that the tree inventory will be part of a grant application to the state, in conjunction with other community partners, for future tree planting in the park.

“T he last inventor y was done about 20 years ago,” he said. “There are a lot of dead trees in the park, and we’re adding new trees as well, trying to do a comprehensive inventory.”

The TCC takes on a number of different projects simultaneously. “We’re also doing an inventory of trees on State Street,” added Simon. “Last week we had our crew work all the way from Parkside on West State

“There are a lot of environmental challenges,” he said. “Trenton, like a lot of other cities, is suffering the legacy of post-industrialization. There’s a lot of buildings and pavement and impermeable surfaces that contribute to the heat island effect. And there are other issues with air quality and asthma, flooding, and stormwater management.”

He continued, “In trying to do climate resiliency work by creating jobs, you can help alleviate some of those issues and develop a sense of stewardship within the people who live here, while actively trying to solve some of those problems.

“The crew — they love it. This is a crash course in tree development for them.

T hey’re hav ing f u n and learning, and we’re connecting them with other job opportunities as well.” Simon noted that the TCC is working with the City of Trenton, which has recently secured a grant from the Department of Environmental Protection to plant trees downtown and enhance tree infrastructure at Cit y Hall. “That’s all asphalt, but they’re going to put in tree islands, and they’re going to put in a rain garden, and our trees will help that,” he said.

TCC worker Willy Shuman reflected on the program so far. “Before I came to Isles, I had no idea about plant life or horticulture, and now I know what I know. I can be a leader and show other people the things I know now, and I can encourage people to join Isles and learn things that benefit the community.”

He continued, “Now I can

Street almost all the way to Olden Avenue on East State Street —mapping existing trees and also mapping potential areas for future planting.”

In the past six weeks of working and learning the TCC cohort of 10 has already completed three professional development certifications and developed agricultural skills to enhance their work in local community gardens and parks.

“By learning and working in the multiple disciplines of agriculture, forestry, stormwater, and energy, we are expanding our participants’ job prospects, but also their sense of stewardship,” said Simon.

TCC pays corps members throughout the 12 40-hour weeks. Climate Corps coordinator Stephanie Sharo described the program as “more education than a normal job, yet more job-based than a school.” Isles is in the process of planning for the future of the program after the pilot concludes in September.

“We have A mer iCor ps funding to bring on the equivalent of 10 full-time paid service positions starting in September,” Simon said. The current crew may apply for the AmeriCorpssponsored initiative in the fall or they may seek jobs e l s e w h e r e . “ T h e y h av e coaches who are helping t hem put t heir resu mes together or flesh out their resumes, and introducing them to other employers,” Simon pointed out.

He went on to discuss some of the challenges that Isles faces.

Isles reported in a press release last week that community members are encouraged to volunteer, to nominate local gardens to be revitalized, to provide project ideas and or materials, and to help get the word out when applications open for the next cohort. Isles plans to have two permanent Climate Corps members employed during the fall and winter before signing on the spring and summer 2023 cohort. Applications for these two positions will go live at isles.org in August and other short-term positions will be released throughout the year.

Two educators have recently stepped into key leadership roles in the Princeton Public Schools (PPS). Nancy Whalen, a former principal and guidance counselor in Hamilton Township, will be the interim principal at Riverside Elementary School for the 2022-23 school year, and Joy Barnes-Johnson, Princeton High School science teacher and racial literacy educator, will be the supervisor of science for grades 6 to 12.

Nancy Whalen Whalen succeeds Ebony Lattimer, who moved to a position as assistant principal at the Princeton Middle School, and Barnes-Johnson — subject to anticipated Board of Education approval at last night’s July 26 meeting, which took place after press time — takes over the science supervisor job from Mridula Bajaj, who moved to a similar position in another district.

In announcing Whalen’s appointment, PPS Superintendent Carol Kelley praised her extensive elementary school leadership experience, her background in counseling, and “a passion for elementary education.”

“My main objective in the beginning of the year here is really to build community,” said Whalen, who has already been meeting with Riverside teachers and administrators. She has additional meetings planned with Riverside Parent Teacher Organization members in August, and in the fall is looking forward to visiting every classroom to read with the students.

“I plan to meet all the students and get to know their names, so they see me and become familiar with who I am,” she added. “That’s important.”

In addition to “opening lines of communication, reaching out, and getting to know everybody,” close collaboration with the faculty is a priority for Whalen.

“There’s always room for everybody to grow, so I’m going to try and build on that,” she said. “It’s going to be a collaborative effort with teachers, families, and myself to see where we need to grow.”

She went on to emphasize her support for Riverside’s goals of equity and inclusion, making sure all children and families feel included, as well as making learning a joyful process.

“That’s important for kids, making it fun and interesting for them.”

She continued, “Their last

goal at Riverside is ‘it takes a village,’ and that’s why my big emphasis is on building community, because it takes all of us for our children to do the best they can.”

Spending time with the students is what Whalen most looks forward to. “I can’t wait to be reading with them, to be going into their classrooms and seeing the things that they are learning,” she said. “It’s always exciting to see the light bulb go on for a child in a classroom.”

Whalen was principal at Sayen Elementary School in Hamilton Township from 2005 to 2019 and was a guidance counselor in the Hamilton district for nine years prior to that. She received Masters of Arts degrees in school leadership, counseling, and personnel services from The College of New Jersey and an undergraduate degree in elementary education from Elizabethtown College.

Barnes-Johnson, who has been in the PPS district for about 15 years, holds a Ph.D. in urban education from Temple University with a primary focus on STEM education teaching and policies. She has taught chemistry, material science, environmental science, and ST E M-related humanities studies, and she is currently writing a book about Black educators and their allies working to pass on a heritage of joy to youth and communities.

She has published several articles on teacher preparation, policy, and curriculum design and has led professional development pro grams at school, district, and community levels. Her research explores equitable science teaching and learning, and she has presented at a number of conferences, expanding her work in sociology and social science education.

Barnes-Johnson has taught American cultural English, chemistry, and science education in China, Jamaica, and the United States. She works as a dissertation coach with graduate students and volunteers with education outreach programs throughout New Jersey, including the Trenton branch of the NAACP and the Paul Robeson House of Princeton, where she is the program committee chair.

In reflecting on her new position, Barnes-Johnson emphasized the importance of continuity in the PPS science department, “the fact that I’ve been there and I’ve understood the vision that was established many years ago to build capacity for STEM education for all students at every level.”

She expressed her excitement at taking on the challenges of her new position.

“Continuing to help the research programs to grow, continuing to see broader and more rich participation of all students in our science programs at every level, integration of science

with math, humanities, engineering, and innovation over the next cycle of growth is something that I’m looking forward to,” she said.

Joy Barnes-Johnson Barnes-Johnson noted that two of the greatest strengths that she brings to the job are her belief in equitable science education and the fact that she’s “very much vested in our community.”

She discussed her view of equitable science education.

“That has come to mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but my background in sociology, my opportunities in the past to do research in university settings, and my curriculum experience lends itself to that,” she said.

She continued, “I’m excited about seeing our offerings expand, so that the idea of rigorous science goes beyond just AP classes, and every child has the opportunity to do research. We’re expanding our course offerings to open up these rigorous programs to all, creating more bridge programs where students who are a little apprehensive to take advanced classes will have more opportunities to participate at a pace that orients them through expanded summer options.

It also means expanding the preparation pipeline so that when students get to high school they feel prepared for the advanced classes.”

She added that she’d like to see more and better science classes for high school students and also for students in the middle and elementary schools.

Two specific challenges that she knows she will face in the coming school year are the transition from teacher to administrator, “turning off my teacher self to favor my administrator self” and the growing population of the Princeton schools. “This mushrooming population is a very real challenge that we face,” she said. “We’re growing as a community, and where do we go? We’re already out of space.”

As the start of the new school year approaches, Barnes-Johnson is looking forward to the next phase of her career, and the opportunities to contribute to PPS’ continuing leadership in STEM education.

“I’m excited to be helping to set the course of the high school from my positions as a science and racial literacy educator,” she said. “I’ll get a chance to be at places and at tables that I haven’t been able to be at as a teacher.”

Town’s “Tell Us What You Want” Survey Open Through August 8 There is still time to weigh in on Princeton’s future. The “Tell Us What You Want” survey, seeking thoughts on everything from parking to the town’s historic character, will remain open through August 8 at least, according to Acting Planning Director Justin Lesko.

“We are getting out a Spanish version as well,” Lesko said on Tuesday, “and we’re hoping to have it ready by tomorrow.”

The survey (princetonsurvey.org), launched July 1, takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

It is the first step in the Princeton Planning Board’s process of rewriting the town’s master plan, which is almost 25 years old. Yellow signs have been posted all over town and on social media this month urging residents, employees of local businesses, visitors, and anyone else who knows Princeton to comment on what they like and don’t like about it, and what they would like to see in the future.

Most of the 42 questions are related to dining, shopping, and other aspects of life in the central business district, Princeton Shopping Center, and Palmer Square.

The survey asks participants to estimate a percentage of how much they spend a

month for eating at local restaurants, ordering takeout, and non-food expenses; what specific stores and restaurants should come to town; the cleanliness and overall appearance of the community; and if there should be an increased focus on tourism. Mobility for pedestrians and motorists is also a focus.

The survey asks how important it is to provide options for less expensive apartments for purchase or rent, options for secondary housing and micro-housing units, and age-restricted housing.

Response to the survey was immediate. Lesko said he was told by a consultant that 405 responses were necessary in order for the survey to be considered effective. “We hit 500 in two days,” he said.

“We’ll probably get to 3,000 by tomorrow.”

Of the respondents so far, 2,100 live in Princeton.

“That’s like 7 percent of the local population,” Lesko said. “The rest are from outside of town, and are equally important.”

While August 8 is a target date, the survey could remain open longer “depending on if we’re seeing it wane or grow,” said Lesko. “But the response so far has been excellent.”

Councilman Dav id Co hen praised the librar y’s engineer for providing a thorough study of operat ional and maintenance costs. Councilman Leighton Newlin agreed. “The cost is necessary and the all the homework has been done to assure we have made the right decision in a meaningful way,” he said.

Councilwoman Mia Sacks added, “It’s helpful when our communit y par tners prov ide i n for m at ion we can share with the public.

It’s a large expenditure, but we should feel comfortable that we understand what it’s for.”

Resolutions for grants from the New Jersey Department of Transportation totaling about $2.4 million were adopted, for the Alexander Street-Dickinson S t r e e t- U n i v e r s i t y P l a c e Municipal Aid Project, the Cherry Hill Road Shared Use Pathway Project, and t he Terhu ne Road S afe Streets to Transit Project.

Another resolution was adopted author izing the purchase of eight recycled rubber speed cushions for traffic calming on Edgehill Street and Hibben Road, not to exceed the cost of $13,728. The cushions are temporary. “If they work, we will do something to make them more permanent,” said Assistant Municipal Engineer Jim Purcell, who noted that the same thing has been done on John Street. “We will monitor the situation and determine whether or not we have to take a more permanent action in the future.”

Council voted for a resolution to authorize submission of the 2022 Communit y Development Block Grant Program and A n nual Action Plan, allowing broadband access for low- and moderate- income households. Councilwoman Eve Niedergang and others on the governing body praised Mark Leckington of Leckington Advisors for his assistance in the effort.

major disruptions and financial strain for the two businesses.

The strain continues with the impending construction of residences on the lot known as Griggs Corner. “We have been very patient and supportive.

We have carefully considered the viability of the building[s],” Momo said. “We have decided it is the best time to undergo a complete rebuild. We very much suppor t somehow commemorating the history, whether through some storytelling with the building, on the building, or some signage in the little park. But the building is in a terrible, terrible state, and needs to be addressed.”

Members of the HPC said they understood the situation but regret the loss of the buildings. “I understand Carlo’s point of view, but to me it’s still a loss,” said Roger Shatzkin. “I’m heartened by the idea of some type of historical memory of the building, and maybe we can add that to our letter. But looking north from Hulfish Street, this is going to be the new Princeton. Looking south, they are the last remnant of 19th century Princeton in that area, and it will be gone forever.”

Shirley Satterfield, who grew up in the WitherspoonJackson neighborhood and remembers the beauty salon, suggested the façade of the building be maintained, as it has been with the renovation of the Paul Robeson House nearby. “All of our establishments are being replaced by businesses, and I’m just concerned we are losing our history,” she said. “Those of you who haven’t grown up in Princeton, and didn’t go through a segregated Princeton, and couldn’t do certain things because they were redlined — you don’t care. You should keep not only the memory, but part of those buildings.”

Elric Endersby said he wondered if 74 Witherspoon Street could be raised one level, with the restaurant under the historic façade. He also suggested that the buildings be moved further north on the street. David Schure said there is a difference between a historic plaque and an actual structure. “The suggestion of a plaque — I think we are better than that,” he said. “It’s an afterthought.”

Speaking a few days after the meeting, Raoul Momo said the decision to demolish and rebuild has been something the brothers have been considering for years. “We are very much in favor of historic preservation,” he said. “If this could have been restored to be a viable structure, we absolutely would do that. But it is unstable. It has deteriorated beyond its life.”

Mailbox Princeton Has Been Quieter with Gas Leaf Blower Ordinance in Place

To the Editor: You may have noticed that, since mid-May, Princeton has been a lot quieter than usual. Because of a new Princeton ordinance, the extremely noisy and very polluting gaspowered leaf blowers are not allowed during the summer, from May 16 through September 30, or during the winter, from December 16 through March 14. (They are still allowed in the fall, from October 1 through December 15, and in the spring, from March 15 to May 15.)

The new ordinance also restricts the days and hours when gas leaf blowers can be used: not at all on Sundays or on Thanksgiving Day; not before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m.

Mondays through Fridays; and not before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

Similarly, the ordinance restricts the days and hours when gas-powered snow blowers, portable generators, chain saws, hedge trimmers, string trimmers, and pole trimmers can be used: not at all on Sundays, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas; not before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m.

Mondays through Fridays, and not before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

Note that gas lawnmowers are not subject to the summer and winter bans on gas leaf blowers.

There are good alternatives to gas-powered lawn equipment. Electric and battery-powered lawnmowers and lawn maintenance equipment are not subject to the summer and winter bans. They are much less noisy than gas-powered equipment, and they do not pollute at all. They have been improved in recent years so that they can handle most lawn maintenance jobs.

Gas lawnmowers and electric lawnmowers and other electric lawn maintenance equipment have restricted hours.

They cannot be used before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays and cannot be used before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m. on Saturdays. They can also be used on Sundays, from 1 to 6 p.m.

Both homeowners and professional lawn maintenance crews must abide by the new ordinance. During bona fide emergencies, the restrictions are lifted.

What should you do if you hear or observe a leaf blower or other lawn maintenance equipment being used when the ordinance does not allow it? You can help implement the ordinance by reporting your observation to Access Princeton (See/Click/Fix). If you can, video or photograph the people using the equipment (but not their faces). Video or photograph the house number of the house and the name and phone number of the lawn maintenance company on its truck. Note the date and time and the street name. Submit all this to See/Click/Fix at seeclickfix.com/ princeton_nj or Accessprinceton@princetonnj.gov.

ONLINE

www.towntopics.com

Access Princeton will forward your report to our new community compliance officer, who will contact the homeowner and lawn maintenance company owner. Much of her work involves education and warnings, but a repeat offender will have to appear in court and possibly pay a fine.

Recent Survey Distributed By PCRD Has Problematic Issues

To the Editor: Last week, a letter to the Town Topics addressed a survey that has been distributed recently by the Princeton Coalition for Responsible Development (PCRD), and the way that it has been received in parts of the community [“PCRD Launches Princeton-Wide Survey Regarding Redevelopment Projects in Town,” Mailbox, July 20].

The survey’s goal, according to the letter, is to “provide robust objective data,” on proposed development projects and the way that decisions are being made on behalf of Princeton.

I received the survey from a friend who forwarded it, with its introductory email, because she thought I would be interested in the methodology used. My business relies To the Editor: heavily on survey data, so it is a realm that I’m familiar After the tragic mass killing at Robb Elementary School with. in Uvalde, Texas, the nation’s eyes are upon the egregious Two things stood out immediately as problematic: First, dereliction of police responsibility there.

the survey was described as hosted by “SurveyMonkey, one of the largest market research firms in the US.” While SurveyMonkey does, on occasion conduct and analyze its own surveys, it is almost always used as a survey tool, as in this case, where the survey was designed and will be interpreted by PCRD, with no research or analysis from the company.

The more problematic issue is the claim that the survey was administered to a “carefully drawn” sample, which is simply not possible for two reasons: first, the link to the survey was readily accessible to anyone who received the email so could be, and was, forwarded to others; second, the survey was anonymous, which means that there is no way to know who responded and was included in the sample.

Last week’s Town Topics letter expressed some incredulity that people have questioned the legitimacy of the survey. It’s difficult to imagine how the survey results can be contextualized in such a way that it can be taken as valid.

Cooling It With Books and Films During the Big Heat Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

—The Beatles, “Here Comes the Sun” nd here comes the air-conditioning.

I’ve already got the ceiling fan going. We’ve had central air for 30 years now and we never take it for granted. I spent nine summers in New York without it. In the Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer in the City,” the back of your neck gets “dirty and gritty,” and “people looking half dead” are walking on a sidewalk “hotter than a match head.” The song says it’s a pity that city days can’t be like city nights, dancing away the heat. I say day or night, New York is never more grittily, intimately, crazily itself than in the hot, humid core of an un-airconditioned summer of reading and sweating, breathing it all in because it’s part of being one with the city. And in your teens and early twenties New York summer nights were fine for walking down Greenwich Avenue for a midnight hamburger at the White Tower or all the way up Seventh or Sixth Avenue to wander around Times Square feeling the flash and crackle of the big signs, the back of your neck not hot and gritty but cool and sweaty damp, standing outside the Metropole watching Cozy Cole and his band blowing the blues away on the stand behind the bar.

Reading City Heat Summer afternoons reading Wolfe, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner, and Salinger, pairing heat and fiction, I merged my sweet, sweltering city with the mid1920s New York summer of The Great Gatsby, which I first read in a muggy second-floor room with windows open on Waverly Place. Jay Gatsby comes across cool and freshly conceived in contrast to the “deep summer” of the central chapter, where after referring to how in “this heat every extra gesture was an affront to the common store of life,” Fitzgerald offers a “room, shadowed well with awnings, ... dark and cool,” where “Daisy and Jordan lay upon an enormous couch, like silver idols weighing down their own white dresses against the singing breeze of the fans.”

Years later in the front room of a second-floor brownstone oven on West 87th, when I wasn’t watching kids on the street below at play in the gush of the open fire hydrant, I was living in the post-war Manhattan summer of J.D. Salinger’s Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters, where “the heat of the afternoon was, to say the least, oppressive,” as the cab carrying the missing groom’s brother Buddy Glass and the chain-smoking Matron of Honor (“I’m so hot I could die!”) moved west, “directly, as it were, into the open furnace of the late-afternoon sky.”

Cooling It with James Future critic and Princeton resident R.P. Blackmur recalls stopping by the Cambridge Public Library on a “hot and

crucifixions, ecstatic, solemn, and profound in gathering volume.”

Heat as Accessory In Albert Camus’s The Stranger, blazing sun and blinding heat are accessories to the shooting at the existential center of the story: “By now the sun was overpowering.

It shattered into little pieces on the sand and water. ... The blazing sand looked red to me ... the whole beach, throbbing in the sun, was pressing on my back. ... The sun was starting to burn my cheeks, and I could feel drops of sweat gathering in my eyebrows ... my forehead especially was hurting me, all the veins in it throbbing under the skin. It was this burning, which I couldn’t s t a n d a ny m or e, t h at made me move forward. ... All I could feel were the cymbals of sunlight crashing on my fore head and, indist inct ly, t he dazzling spear flying up from the knife in front of me. The scorching blade slashed at my eyelashes and stabbed at my stinging eyes .... Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace. And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness.”

In my reading memory that moment on the beach at Algiers stood out, the essence of the merciless power of heat and sun, but I never realized until I put the pieces together that the enemy attacking Meursault wasn’t the Arab so much as the stabbing, fl ashing, crashing, dazzling, stinging of the sun.

Leone’s Desert When Sergio Leone’s The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly was previewed in America in 1968, audiences, including certain reviewers, found “the desert scenes too long,” something Leone “lamented” in Christopher Frayling’s biography. “With Morricone’s music,” the desert sequence, where Tuco (Eli Wallach) forces “Blondie” (Clint Eastwood) on a death march, was slowed to “an almost hallucinatory pace.”

Frayling points out that Leone was understandably “keen to defend the desert sequences. The shots of Tuco riding behind a parched and blistered Blondie, clutching a pink, frilly parasol to protect himself from the sun” particularly appealed to him. Cinematographer Tonino Delli Colli photographed it all, Leone thought, “in a way that was worthy of the great surrealist painters.”

It’s possible the desert scenes seemed too long to those who were in the grip of the film, vicariously attached to Eastwood, at the mercy of sun and cinema.

Finally collapsing, his face seared raw, a horror movie of sunflayed flesh, he’s done for, Tuco’s about to finish him off, when Morricone’s stirring score comes to the rescue, trumpets on high as the “Carriage of the Spirits, La Carrozza Dei Fantasm,” stuffed with dead Confederate soldiers, gallops into view. It’s more than the most improbable of rescues, it’s Leone in his glory, music, imagery, emotion, all one, Eastwood is saved, you’re saved, almost as if you’ve been suffering a thirst that’s now been miraculously quenched. And when a dying soldier whispers the secret of the treasure in the cemetery into Blondie’s ear, the secret at the motive heart of the film, you can already hear the fanfare of Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” finale. Of course there’s no way not to know what’s coming when you’ve seen the film at least a dozen times, both butchered and whole, dubbed and subtitled.

I don’t know what privations Leone’s cast and crew had to endure for the filming of the desert sequences (outside Almeria, in Spain), but they were nothing compared to what Erich von Stroheim subjected his crew to when filming the finale of Greed in 1924 (the image shown here is from that sequence). He was told that such a scene could be shot on the dunes at Oxnard, near Los Angeles. Instead, the production spent two midsummer months in 91-123F heat of Death Valley at von Stroheim’s insistence, with as many as a dozen crew members having to be sent back to Los Angeles suffering from heat exhaustion.

High Heat in the UK With the recent triple-digit temperatures recorded in England, some of the world’s favorite songs have taken on an ironic ambiance. Even “Here Comes the Sun” risks losing the inspirational edge that made it a cheering anthem for people who survived the pandemic. “Rain” says “When it rains and shines,” it’s “just a state of mind...”

— except maybe when the heat’s breaking records. “I Am the Walrus” is big enough to see you through to the other side of that brilliant moment, “Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun” and “if the sun don’t come you get a tan from standing in the English rain.”

Oh for some English rain, any kind of rain, right now. Maybe today?

—Stuart Mitchner ——— Note: The passage about reading Henry James is from R.P. Blackmur’s Studies in Henry James (New Directions 1983).

muggy” Massachusetts day, “so that from the card catalogue I selected as the most cooling title The Wings of the Dove, and on the following morning, a Sunday, even hotter and muggier, I began, and by the stifling midnight had finished my first elated reading of the novel. Long before the end I knew a master had laid his hands on me. The beauty of the book bore me up; I was both cool and waking; excited and effortless; nothing was any longer worthwhile and everything had become necessary. A little later, there came outside the patter and the cooling of a shower of rain and I was able to go to sleep, both confident and desperate in the force of art.”

I enjoy repeating that story even though the beaut y of The Wings of the Dove, in spite of years of trying, in all types of weather, on and off the road, never bore me up, and the master never “laid hands on me,” until the summer I read Portrait of a Lady.

Blackmur understands, modifying his enthusiasm with this coda, “Such are the advantages and energies of boyhood. By great luck I had been introduced simply and directly, and had responded in the same way, to what a vast number of people have thought an impossible novel by an impossible author. ... In short, I was unimpeded.”

Faulkner’s Heat In an essay in This Quiet Dust, William Styron expands on the heat in William Faulkner’s fiction, “which is like a small, mean death itself. ... It is a monumental heat, heat so desolating to the body and spirit as to have the quality of a half-remembered bad dream until one realizes that it has, indeed, been encountered before, in all those novels and stories of Faulkner through which this unholy weather — and other weather more benign — moves with an almost touchable reality.”

Not being able to think off hand of any specific moments of monumental heat, I f ind t he most potent heat in Faulkner in the intensity of his monumental prose.

Detroit ’67

THEATER REVIEW

T

An African American Family Hosts a Mysterious Visitor in “Detroit ’67”; Princeton Summer Theater Succeeds with Dominique Morisseau’s Drama

he Detroit Riot of 1967, also known as the Detroit Rebellion or the 12th Street Riot, is the setting of Detroit ’67. Dominique Morisseau’s 2013 drama depicts an African American woman’s determination to provide security for her family; and her younger brother’s wish to start a new life, and blur racial boundaries. All of these goals are tested by the arrival of a mysterious white woman — and the riot.

Chelle, one of the protagonists, hosts underground parties to pay for her (unseen) son Julius’ college education. Lank, her younger brother, wants to open his own bar. This ties into the event that incited the Detroit Riot: a police raid of an unlicensed bar, in which all of the patrons were arrested.

Detroit ’67 is an installment of Morisseau’s three-play cycle The Detroit Project.

Morriseau is a 2018 MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellow whose other credits include the Broadway musical Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations.

The music of Motown, notably the Four Tops’ “Reach Out (I’ll Be There),” pervades Detroit ’67. Music is a “resource and clue to my work, and music plays a unifier among cultural barriers.” Morisseau tells Broadway.com.

Princeton Summer Theater ( PST) is concluding its 2022 season with Detroit ’67. Directed by Anike Sonuga, the production successfully conveys the colliding character arcs and rising tensions, which are exacerbated by historical events.

All of the onstage action takes place in Chelle and Lank’s basement. This allows Jeffrey Van Velsor’s set to be elaborately detailed. It is at once gritty and cozy, as black walls and a drawing of a fist are juxtaposed against a sofa, several lamps, and youthful sketches of family members. The basement is the venue for underground parties — heralded by lighting designer Alex Mannix’s display of colorful holiday bulbs — but it also can be seen as a bunker, from which Chelle attempts to avert any threats to her family’s safety and security.

Chelle, a widow (portrayed by Nyah Anderson), is preparing her basement for a party. She listens to Motown music as she works, good-naturedly scolding her record player when it skips. (Later in the show, another character compares her to a scratched record.) Chelle has sent Lank to purchase supplies for the party.

Bunny, Chelle’s friend (Sheleah Harris), arrives to help with the preparations. She and Chelle discuss the inheritance left to Chelle and Lank by their parents. (The siblings live in the home in which they were raised.) Along with the income from the parties, Chelle wants the inheritance money to fund Julius’ education.

Lank (Gabriel Generally) enters the basement with his friend, Sly (Camron Chapple). Chelle is furious when she discovers that, instead of the items on her list (which includes new 45 rpm records), they have bought an 8-track tape player and tapes. Lank and Sly argue that the 8-track format sounds better than vinyl, and will replace it. (This is amusing since the former is out of mode, and the latter is enjoying a revival.)

Stereo equipment becomes a symbol of the conflict between change and the status quo; from their first scene together, Chelle and Lank adopt opposing viewpoints. Kyla Jeanne’s costumes reinforce this; Lank’s outfits often are flamboyant or colorful (in one scene he wears purple pants and a loose-fitting green shirt adorned with leaves, while Chelle’s clothes tend to be more conservative, though not somber).

Lank and Sly hope to use the inheritance to purchase a nearby bar that is for sale, and plan to rename it “Sly and Lank’s Feel Good Shack.” Chelle refuses, unwilling to risk losing the money.

In the early scenes, the cast of characters is balanced; it consists of four African Americans, two of whom are women, the other two are men. One senses that this equilibrium must be disturbed, which happens when Lank and Sly bring an unconscious white woman, Caroline

Later, Lank urgently informs Chelle that a bar is on fire. When she asks why he is so upset, he discloses that he and Sly have purchased the adjacent bar, which might now be destroyed. Chelle is incensed at him for risking their inheritance, over her objections. The earlier argument resurfaces, and this time it erupts.

Above the onstage action, conflict rages in the streets. Sound designer Xi (Zoey) Lin punctuates the later scenes with threatening rumbles that suggest the Army tanks that were deployed after Michigan’s governor declared a “state of insurrection.” One character is arrested, and another endangers his life. We also learn more about Caroline’s past — and the reason for her injuries — which has to do with her job as a waitress, and her relationship with a policeman.

This is the second production of Detroit ’67 that has been covered in these pages.

In a review of McCarter Theatre’s 2018 presentation, I wrote: “Part of what makes the script successful is that it heightens suspense by denying the audience the benefit of hindsight. We are given no hint of what is happening outside the basement, except through the characters’ points of view.” Seeing PST’s version reinforces that.

McCarter presented the play two years before George Floyd’s death, and the subsequent national conversation about racial justice — in particular, police brutality.

Watching Detroit ’67 again two years later, its treatment of these issues gives it heightened resonance.

In a late scene, Chelle challenges Caroline’s assumption that she can understand — let alone relate to — Lank’s life experiences. “You might dream the same … but ‘til he have the same title to this world that you got, you and him ain’t gon’ never be the same!” she snaps. “And that ain’t blindness tell me that. That’s 20/20.”

Now, hearing the speech — without seeing the slash between the numbers — is eerie; it reminds one of the events of 2020. This play reminds us how little has changed.

But this is not the only crucial aspect of Detroit ’67. “My intention with this show was never going to be to educate,” Sonuga writes in a program note. “You are brought into the intimate world … where Lank and Chelle grew up, evidence of their childhood decorating the space.” ltimately, the play’s focus is not on what happened in Detroit in July 1967. It is on the way those events “DETROIT ’67”: Performances are underway for “Detroit ’67.” Directed by Anike Sonuga, the play runs through July 31 at the Hamilton Murray Theater at Princeton University. affect a family — and the subsequent need Above, from left, are Sheleah Harris (Bunny) and Gabriel Generally (Lank).

(Hayley Krey) into the basement, late at night.

Caroline has clearly been assaulted.

Chelle is concerned about what could happen to her family if the authorities think that they attacked Caroline. Lank and Sly explain that she passed out in their car after they offered her a ride. Reluctantly, Chelle agrees to let Caroline sleep on the couch, and hires her to help with the party. But Chelle warns Lank, “Keep your friendliness to yourself.”

The day after the party, Chelle counts the money and pays Caroline, pleased with the way she has interacted with the guests. After Chelle leaves to run errands, Lank is surprised to discover that Caroline enjoys Motown. A conversation about their mutual passion for the music — as well as the family artwork that decorates the basement — brings them together, leading to a subtle but growing attraction.

Before anything else can happen, Chelle enters. Lank and Caroline hastily move away from each other, but Chelle glares at them, fully aware of what is happening. This moment would not work if the actors playing Caroline and Lank did not have sufficient chemistry; or if the staging lacked careful attention to timing. Fortunately, neither is the case here. The scene demonstrates Sonuga’s skill as a director, and the nuanced performances she elicits from the cast.

PU Summer Chamber Concerts Closes Season with Engaging and Diverse Program

W

hen one thinks of classical music “trios,” what might come to mind is an ensemble of strings and piano, with plenty of works to perform from throughout music histor y. The chamber ensemble Zodiac Trio, formed in 2006 by musicians from the Manhattan School of Music, has broken this mold by dedicating a career to repertoire for clarinet, violin, and piano. Taking an unconventional route to success, clarinetist Kliment Krylovskiy, violinist Vanessa Mollard, and pianist Riko Higuma polished their ensemble sound with extensive study in Paris. Zodiac Trio brought an impressive and entertaining concert to Richardson Auditorium last Thursday night to close the 55th season of the Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts series.

T h e Tr i o o p e n e d t h e p r o g r a m conventionally, albeit with lesser-known work s. C omp os er Pau l S cho enfeld has infused his music with a scholarly command of mathematics and Hebrew studies, and his one-movement Freylakh also showed the influence of the Eastern European klezmer tradition.

Zodiac Trio began Freylakh with a fiery start, immediately displaying a fierce piano part played by Higuma and the recognizable klezmer scales in Krylovskiy’s clarinet lines. The Trio consistently demonstrated exact rhythms, settling in well to the unusual sonorities of clarinet, violin, and piano together, and well representing the “merry” atmosphere indicated by the work’s title.

Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla was especially known for his use of Argentine dance forms, and this musical flavor was evident in the two short Piazzolla pieces arranged for the Trio by pianist Higuma. Chau Paris evoked a sultry Parisian night, with an understandably dramatic and demanding piano part. In this piece, Krylovskiy provided a lyrical clarinet line, joined by violinist Mollard for a swirling finish. Fugata introduced technically challenging melodic material one instrument at a time, with Higuma playing clean unisons between the two hands of the piano accompaniment.

T h e pr i n c ip a l work on t h e f i r s t half of the program was a concer t suite of f ive movements f rom Igor Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat (A Soldier’s Tale), originally scored for seven instruments but also arranged by the composer for clarinet, violin, and piano.

Zodiac Trio began the work with solid unisons and a percussive piano part, with

Krylovskiy playing high in the register of the clarinet. Violinist Mollard commanded the second movement storyline of the fiddle which the devil is trying to buy from the soldier, demonstrating numerous double stops and a nonstop jagged melodic line. The fourth movement series of dances was seamless, with the three instruments creating a well-blended sonority. The closing “Dance of the Devil” was as demonic as one would expect from a movement with this title, with all instruments well up to Stravinsky’s technical demands.

The second half of the concert was devoted to an ongoing Zodiac Tr io project paying homage to clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman and other performers of his era. The arrangements of the 20th-century pieces played by the Trio in this set created a jazz club atmosphere, with each instrument taking a turn on extended solo lines. Numerous passages featured violin and clarinet playing cleanly together, and the arrangement of Gordon Jenkins’ Goodbye in particular offered Krylovskiy opportunities for very expressive clarinet playing. All three musicians of Zodiac Trio played solid unisons and precise rhythms in the very jazzy I’m a Ding Dong Daddy which closed the Goodman set.

The final work on the program, Béla Bartók’s Contrasts, was commissioned by Benny Goodman and combined the swing band style with the Hungarian and Romanian dance melodies for which Bartók was known. Bartók especially tested the violin part by requiring retuning the instrument for one movement to achieve a tritone effect within the Bulgarian rhythmic scheme. Violinist Mollard addressed this challenge by bringing two separately-tuned violins onstage and switching back and forth. Krylovskiy also expertly alternated between clarinets in Bb and A within the three movements of Bartók’s work. or 55 years, Princeton University Summer Chamber Concer ts has maintained a solid reputation bringing not only high-quality artists to Princeton but also unusual chamber ensembles to introduce audiences to new works and approaches to music. The Chamber Concerts series should be pleased that this year’s season both achieved these goals and went off without a hitch, re-establishing itself as one of the places to be on a summer evening in Princeton.

Giddens’s lifelong mission is to lift up people whose contributions to American musical history have previously been erased, and to work toward a more accurate understanding of the country’s musical origins.

Among her many diverse career highlights, Giddens has performed for the Obamas at the White House, served as a Carnegie Hall Perspectives curator, and

Her critical acclaim includes in-depth profiles by CBS Sunday Morning, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and NPR’s Fresh Air, among many others.

Giddens is featured in Ken Burns’s Country Music series, which aired on PBS in 2019, where she speaks about the African American origins of country music.

She is also a member of the band Our Native Daughters with three other Black female banjo players, Leyla McCalla, Allison Russell, and Amy thyst Kiah, and co-produced their debut album Songs of Our Native Daughters (2019), which tells stories of historic black womanhood and survival.

As an actor, Giddens had a featured role on the television series Nashville.

After Injury Derailed Rookie Season in Premier Lax League, Princeton Alum Sowers Emerging as Standout for Waterdogs

M

ichael Sowers may be two years removed from ending his Princeton University career and is technically a secondyear pro, but he feels like a rookie in the Professional Lacrosse League (PLL).

His debut season in the PLL for the Waterdogs in 2021 was limited by a head injury to two games last year, but he has rebounded this summer to help the club start 3-3. Earlier this month, Sowers played in the PLL All-Star game, tallying three goals to help Team Baptiste rout Team Farrell 33-13 in the contest. Capping the day, the shifty, acrobatic 5’9, 165-pound Sowers won the freestyle competition in the All-Star Skills contest.

For Sowers, getting the chance to participate in the All-Star weekend in Boston on July 16 had a special meaning after his abbreviated 2021 campaign.

“In college, when the PLL first got going, watching the all-star game, it just always was a super cool event,” said star attackman Sowers, who ended his Princeton career as the program leader in points (302) and assists (181). “It’s definitely a cool honor to be a part of it.”

Sowers accrued 15 points on eight goals and seven assists in his first four games this season to earn the AllStar selection. After scoring three goals to help the Waterdogs edge the Chrome 1110 last Sunday, Sowers now has 18 points on 11 goals and seven assists. The second pick in the 2021 draft after finishing his college career at Duke as a graduate transfer, Sowers has fit in well in the PLL. “It’s definitely really cool,” said Sowers. “I think it’s exceeded my expectations in terms of how fun it is, just to be able to be out there, and the league does such a good job of making us feel like true professionals in every sense. It’s been a blast. For me personally, obviously last year was unique, but as this season goes along, and we start to develop that chemistry it’s just going to continue to get more fun each week.”

Sowers already is having a lot more fun than he did a year ago. One game into his PLL career, he was hospitalized after a blow to the head.

It was a serious enough concussion to keep him out of games all the way until the PLL semifinals, and given a history of head injuries when he was younger and their cumulative effect, he began wearing the FDA approved Q-Collar that has scientific studies to prove it lessens the risk of brain injuries.

“I don’t think I ever missed a game in anything in my high school career, my Princeton career, and then my year at Duke,” said Sowers.

“Then I miss a whole season unexpectedly. I’m definitely grateful every time I have the opportunity to step out there. You never know when something like that is going to pop up. It happened week one. You never know. I sometimes get nervous about it, but I try to be grateful for

every opportunity I have to go out there.”

Sowers is still finding his way in the PLL and with his Waterdogs teammates. Each weekend is an opportunity for him to develop his game.

“I played in maybe six PLL games, maybe a little more,” said Sowers. “These last couple games, I was on a minute restriction and in Charlotte I had cramps at the end of the game. I feel like it definitely does feel like I’m just getting my feet wet. For me, that’s what it’s always been about — not necessarily about the stats or the number of games. It’s more so, getting better every week and getting more comfortable.”

His first full season in the PLL has reminded him of his move from high school to Princeton. Sowers enjoyed a prolific college career, becoming the first Tiger player to hit the 300-point mark, including the program-record 181 assists that solidified his ability to make those around him better. Now he’s finding his role with the Waterdogs and making his mark in the pro game.

“What I compare it to is my freshman year at Princeton, where there’s so much talent around you that you just want to go in,” said Sowers.

“I think that the chemistry thing is one thing. The more we play together, the better we’re going to be. We have so many great guys on the offensive end — between [former Princeton teammate Zach] Currier, and Connor Kelly, Ryan Brown, Kieran McArdle. The list goes on and on. When you have that much talent, it’s a very roleoriented style of lacrosse and it’s like, what is my role? Play behind the cage, dodge, and hit the open guy if he’s there.

If he’s not, turn the corner and shoot. And if not kick the ball forward and keep the offense going. Roles change depending what system you’re playing in, but for me it’s most applicable to my freshman year at Princeton.”

Sowers continues to follow Princeton as well as Duke.

He was excited to see the Tigers return to action after two seasons were canceled by the pandemic. Princeton reached the NCAA Final Four under coach Matt Madalon before falling 13-8 to eventual national champion Maryland in the semifinals.

“It is pretty wild,” said Sowers. “Some of those guys, [Alex] Slusher was like a freshman when we were seniors. I get some mixed up with eligibility, but now he’s going to be a senior, that’s wild. It was so cool. All the guys in my class were so happy for those guys. They had been through so much.

I think a lot of people were counting them out. People that knew the program and knew the guys in that locker room, we knew they were all capable of something like that and they had awesome leadership in George Baughan and Chris Brown and Coach Mads. It wasn’t a shock to any of us. We were excited and happy to be a fan in the stands for a lot of those games.”

Sowers looks back on his college career fondly, though it didn’t end the way anyone would have anticipated.

He acknowledges that his last three lacrosse seasons have come with adversity.

The pandemic canceled a Tewaaraton Award possible senior year at Princeton, he and other 2020 Princeton seniors were unable to finish their college career there due to Princeton and Ivy League rules — he had to transition to a new team, Duke, for one final college year — and then Sowers missed most all of his first year of the PLL. “At the same time, I’ve just always loved playing the game,” said Sowers, who tallied 81 points on 37 goals and 44 assists in his one season at Duke, helping the Blue Devils make the NCAA Final Four and getting named as a Tewaaraton Award finalist.

“I’m 24 now. I still have the opportunity to play. I’m still healthy enough to play.

I’m pretty grateful for that.

I had an amazing career at Princeton. I wouldn’t change it for the world even though early on we didn’t have some of the success we would have hoped. But the people that I met, the experience I had, I wouldn’t change it for the world. The same thing with Duke. I’m 24 and still get to play, and I still feel great, and I feel like my best days are still ahead of me.”

As he did in college, Sowers has proven equally adept at scoring and setting up teammates in the PLL. His balanced scoresheet reflects an unselfishness and high lacrosse IQ. Coaches and teammates have been complimentary about his playing style and ability to fit into an offense. Sowers recognizes the Waterdogs’ strong attacking pieces that there’s no reason to force the action.

“At Princeton, the offense was shifted a certain way,” said Sowers. “Now you want to make sure you’re taking the right shot. I feel confident when I come around the net, I can usually get my hands free. If they slide, hit the open guy, but if not shoot the ball. But with an offense with that much talent, that’s not necessarily the best shot.

So you rework your decision making and redefine what is a good shot, what is an acceptable risk. That’s somewhere I’m growing and I’ll continue to grow.”

Sowers also has had to adjust to some of the other nuances of being in the PLL. The size and speed of players in the PLL is another step up from college. He’s such a quick player that the speed is something that is easier to deal with than the size.

“In the PLL everybody is 6’3, 220 pounds, kind of that football build,” said Sowers. “It’s an adjustment.

In college, you can kind of lean on people, even though that was never my game.

Now, you have to be moving full speed.”

The PLL schedule too is a change. Sowers works for a private equity firm in Philadelphia during the week, then joins the Waterdogs for

HEADING FORWARD: Michael Sowers heads to goal in a 2020 game during his senior season with the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team. Star attackman Sowers, who ended his Princeton career as the program leader in points (302) and assists (181), is currently making an impact on the next level for the Waterdogs of the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL).

After being sidelined last summer in his rookie season due to a head injury, Sowers has tallied 18 points on 11 goals and seven assists to help the Waterdog go 3-3. He played in the PLL All-Star game on July 16, tallying three goals to help Team Baptiste rout Team Farrell 33-13 in the contest.

Meyers Helps U.S. Win Gold at Maccabiah Games

Former Princeton University women’s basketball star Abby Meyers helped the United States win the open women’s gold medal at the 2022 Maccabiah Games last Sunday in Israel.

The United States went undefeated en route to the gold. In the round-robin portion of the event, the U.S. defeated Israel 72-47 and 75-43 and posted 88-61 and 73-42 wins over Australia. In the gold medal game, the U.S. defeated Israel 88-55 as Meyers registered a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds while adding four steals.

For the tournament, Meyers averaged 18.4 points per contest.

M e y e r s , a 6’0 g u a r d from Potomac, Md., was the unanimous Ivy League Player of the Year last winter, averaging 17.9 points a game as Princeton went 255, winning the league title and postseason tournament.

She earned AP Honorable Mention All-America recognition, making her just the third Tiger women’s player to earn All-American honors. Meyers will be playing for the University of Maryland next winter as a graduate transfer.

Ettin, Peters Help U.S. Men Take Maccabiah Gold

Princeton University men’s basketball assistant coach Skye Ettin and sophomore guard Blake Peters helped the U.S. open men’s hoops squad win gold at the 2022 Maccabiah Games last Sunday in Israel.

The U.S. defeated France 81-70 in the gold medal final. Trailing 37-35 at halftime, the USA rallied in the second half and pulled away to victory. Peters, a 6’1, 190-pound native of Evanston, Ill., chipped in 10 points, three rebounds, and two steals in the gold medal final.

Peters had a strong tournament overall, scoring 11 points and recording three rebounds along with two steals in the team’s first game, a 93-49 victory over Argentina on July 15. In a 90-77 win over France on July 17, he drained five three-pointers on route to 18 points, six rebounds, and two steals. In a 92-71 triumph over Israel on July 19, Peters scored a gamehigh 24 points, sank seven t h re e - p oi nter s, g r abb e d four rebounds, and had two steals. In the final Stage One contest, a 106-70 victory over Canada on July 21, Peters added 10 points, five rebounds, and three steals.

Ettin, a former hoops star at Princeton High and The College of New Jersey, and Peters also became champions for the second time in 2022, as the Tigers claimed the Ivy League regular season title outright, going 12-2 in conference play and 23-7 overall in 2021-22.

Tiger Alumna Donovan Helps U.S. Take 2nd in World Sixes

Recently graduated Princeton Universit y women’s lacrosse standout Marge Donovan ’22 helped the U.S. take silver at the World Games Sixes in Birmingham, Ala. earlier this month.

The U.S. fell 14-12 to Canada in the gold medal game on July 16. Star defender Donovan had four assists in the tournament as the U.S. went 4-0 in pool play and then defeated Great Britain 21-5 in the semis to advance to the gold medal final.

Sixes lacrosse is a fastpaced version of the sport played on a smaller field (70 x 36 meters), with fewer players (6 vs. 6), a condensed game length (four 8-minute quarters) and a 30-second shot clock.

It capped a superb run for Donovan, a 5’10 native of Catonsville, Md., who was named the 2022 Ivy Defender of the Year and the Most Outstanding Player at the Ivy postseason tournament as Princeton topped Yale 19-9 in the championship game in May. Donovan, who graduated as the program’s all-time leader in career draw controls (214) and draws in a season (112 in 2022), was also named as an Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (ILWCA) third-team AllAmerican.

Getting Thrust Into Starting Rotation for TCNJ in 2021, PHS Alum Amon Developed Into Ace for Lions This Spring Ben Amon began his sophomore season with The College of New Jersey baseball team in 2021 as a relief pitcher, but injuries thrust him into the starting rotation.

“We had two of our top starting pitchers get hurt, they both had shoulder and arm injuries,” said former Princeton High standout Amon. “I was thrown into that first game on Saturday role — that helped me take a big step. I got very used to coming out and facing the ace.”

After going 1-3 with a 4.06 ERA and 37 strikeouts on 44 1/3 innings over the rest of that season, Amon emerged as the ace for the Lions in 2022. The lanky 6’5, 170-pound right-hander posted a 4-4 record with a 2.51 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 61 innings.

Amon’s heroics helped him earn a slew of honors, including getting named to the All-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Second Team and earning Rawlings/ American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-Region Team and D3baseball.com All-Region recognition.

Last summer, Amon built confidence by enjoying a big season for the Matrix in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League (ACBL).

“I made the All-Star game, that felt really good,” said Amon. “I took some time off and gave my arm a chance to recover a little bit.”

This spring, Amon got off to a good start in the season opener against Ursinus,

going 5 2/3 innings with eight strikeouts, yielding two runs and two hits to get the win as TCNJ prevailed 13-3.

“It is always a confidence builder when you can come out and throw really well to start the season,” said Amon.

“In high school I always had trouble finding my groove early in the season. So it was great being able to come out and throw a game against Ursinus and get a win and start 1-0 to the season.”

Two weeks later, Amon hit a bump in the road as he only lasted 2 2/3 innings in a loss to Franklin & Marshall.

“I thought I was throwing well; they were just able to put the ball in play and worked counts,” recalled Amon. “They got me out of that game pretty early so that was a rough one. But I had the entire team around me saying like, ‘hey look, you are going to be our guy to go to when we need to win big games and keep your head up. We are all going to pull for you no matter what.’ Just having that confidence and having the team behind me no matter what really helped me to throw strikes when I needed to, knowing they would make plays behind me.”

In early April, Amon enjoyed a major confidence builder as he hurled a shutout against New Jersey City, giving up five hits and striking out five with one walk.

“It was pretty awesome, we went in there with a strategy to pitch them backwards,” said Amon, reflecting on

the shutout.

“They like looking fastballs and it absolutely worked. We swept them without allowing a run in the doubleheader.”

Facing fourth-ranked Rowan in the NJAC tournament, Amon produced an awesome effort, giving up no runs in seven innings w ith four strikeouts as TCNJ rolled to a 9-0 victory.

“Our seniors had never beaten Rowan since they had been there,” said Amon. “Just to give them that final win, especially in the playoffs, and send Rowan home was a pretty awesome feeling. They have been our biggest rival.”

Over the final stretch of the season, Amon raised his game as the Lions ended the spring with a 20-18 record, falling 10-7 to No. 23 Kean in the NJAC playoffs in their finale.

“I definitely had the mentality for my last five games that nobody is going to beat me but myself,” said Amon.

“I attacked every hitter with a game plan that I am going to throw whatever pitch I want to throw and I am going to dictate the tempo of the game. It worked really well. I had a good five last starts of the year.”

While Amon is proud of the honors he garnered as a result of his stellar campaign, his focus is more on team goals.

“Obviously it is awesome to win those awards,” said Amon, who was also named to the NJAC All-Academic team this season. “You want

AIMING HIGH: Ben Amon delivers a pitch this spring in his junior season for The College of New Jersey baseball team. Former Princeton High standout Amon emerged as the ace this year for TCNJ, going 4-4 with a 2.51 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 61 innings. Amon earned All-NJAC Second Team honors and was also named as Rawlings/American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-Region Team and D3baseball.com All-Region performer. (Photo provided courtesy of The College of New Jersey Athletics) to have a lot of guys that win those awards. I would have loved to win an NJAC title.”

Currently, Amon is pitching for the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters in the Northwoods League, an elite collegiate summer league in the MidWest.

“I am just continuing what I ended the year with, working at my tempo with a lot of confidence and being able to throw any pitch in any count,” said Amon, who is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA and seven strikeouts in 12 innings for the Rapids Rafters.

“It really helps when you have guys off balance and they don’t what is coming on 2-0, 3-0 counts and you can throw any of your pitches. I had a fastball, changeup, and curveball, and a two seam as

a freshman and now I have a harder slider and a slower curveball. I top around 91 on my fastball and I sit in the high 80s.”

Looking ahead to his senior season for TCNJ, Amon is confident that the Lions can do some big things.

“It is building on how

strong we finished as a team and hopefully just continuing that success,” said Amon.

“We have a lot of great freshmen, great sophomores, and then a bunch of guys that are good in the upper classes. We have a bunch of guys coming in that should make an impact immediately.”

A f ter t h e Ch r is toph er Newport University men’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA Division III Final Four in 2021 for the first time in program history, Coby Auslander and his teammates were primed for a return trip to the national semis this spring.

“There was just a completely different mindset in fall ball,” said former Princeton Day School standout midfielder Auslander.

“I think over the summer a lot of guys were just absolute freaks and just took their game to a completely different level. We knew we had the culture and the teammate vibe where everybody was already close-knit. We just needed to take our skills to a different level and I think we did that in the fall.”

This spring, junior Auslander and the Captains took things to a higher level, going 16-0 in regular season play and rising to No. 1 in the D-III national polls.

Cementing his status as one of the top playmakers in the country, Auslander set a program single-season record for assists with 46.

The squad had four players earn United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) All-American honors, including Auslander, who was a first-team selection.

But CNU fell short of its ultimate goal as it lost 10-9 in overtime to York College in the NCAA D-III quarterfinals, ending the spring with an 18-2 record.

“It is tough to talk about because I don’t believe we reached the point we wanted to get to,” said Auslander.

“When you look at it from a rear view mirror and think about what we did — we got to No. 1 in the country, we had all of these All-American players, the bond that we had as a unit — and how special it was, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It sucked that it ended in a lot of tears; it just showed that everybody cared.”

Those bonds were exemplified by a high-powered CNU attack that averaged 19.1 goals a game as it utilized a modified approach.

“We changed our offense a little bit,” said Auslander.

“We took up a more Canadian style of offense which means we played more of a box style. It was just super helpful for me, I am a strong left-handed player who doesn’t love to put it in my right hand. So just having the ability to keep it on my left, my strong hand as much as possible, was super beneficial. It helped a lot of us on the team with people in different spots and a new formation.”

While the Captains changed up things a bit stylistically, Auslander kept his focus on being a playmaker.

“I saw myself keeping the same role as the guy who initiates the play,” said the 5’7, 150-pound Auslander, who scored 30 goals to go w it h h is 46 as sis ts.

“Definitely as a junior, it was helpful in that I felt

way more mature. I knew the guys a lot better and I knew what they expected from me. I would say in the first couple of practices and games of the year I just felt like I knew how the team would click and how to click with the other players. We developed a bond that was just super special. It took my game to the next level with what they could provide and what I could provide to the team.”

In mid-April, CNU clicked as it defeated top-ranked Salisbury before an overflow home crowd of 1,233.

“It was just such a special moment before we came to CNU we hadn’t beaten Salisbury in I don’t how many years, maybe 10-12 years,” said Auslander, who tallied two goals and two assists in the win.

“I remember being recruited to CNU and they lost to Salisbury in the conference final and we got a text from my coach (Mikey Thompson) saying we will beat Salisbury one day. That stuck with our class really well. It is something that we pursued for a while just to have that moment. Our friends and family were all there, the whole stadium was packed. It was big for the program and the alumni. We had been building that for a while.”

In the wake of that triumph, the Captains rose to No. 1 in the D-III national polls.

“If you think about it, when I went there and for the fifth years that were there this

Helping Christopher Newport Men’s Lax to Historic Season, Former PDS Star Auslander Earned All-America Honors

RECORD PACE: Coby Auslander, left, races upfield in a game this spring in his junior season for the Christopher Newport University men’s lacrosse team. Former Princeton Day School star Auslander produced a historic campaign for the Captains, setting a program single-season record for assists with 46. Midfielder Auslander, who also scored 30 goals, earned first-team United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) All-American recognition, among other honors, as CNU went 18-2 and advanced to the NCAA Division III quarterfinals.

“That is a big thing that we talked about. It is so special to be No. 1 and we didn’t want to take it for granted.

There were a lot of people in front of us that did the heavy work. It was unbelievable to be No. 1 in the country. We knew that we had the target on our back the whole year after that. If you were to tell me that I would have been on a No. 1 team at any point, I would have thought you were crazy.”

While CNU fell 15-10 to Salisbury in a rematch in the Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference Championship game, Auslander saw positives coming from the setback.

“It was tough to lose that one but when we were look-

ing at the bright side, it was more the fact that we had our one loss now,” said Auslander. “We knew that it was possible to lose if we don’t show up and play our game. It is not like we are going to show up and just beat these great teams. I think it was helpful in the end to lose that game. Obviously we would have loved to have won that game. It caught our attention and after that we were focused in on the tournament. From then on, we were like, we can’t lose again. We had that mindset.”

The Captains displayed that mindset as they routed Sewanee 29-5 in the second round of the NCA A D-III tournament.

“Our program had n e ver hos te d a n NCA A tournament game, so that was super special having it on our home field,” said Auslander, who contributed three assists in the victory.

“We took it out on them.

The excitement we had for the tournament just showed.

That was the most points, assists, and goals we ever had in that game.”

Building on that triumph, CN U defeated Wesleyan 21-8 in the third round of the NCAA tourney.

“They were very tough, there were definitely some nerves too,” said Auslander, who had a goal and two assists in the win. “We were really prepared, our coach did a great job of preparing us for that game. I would say we played extremely well and the heat was a big factor. In the game before, we had a big win and they were in a close one so I think that helped out a lot. They were a great program and to beat them with that score was great.”

The squad’s historic campaign came to a bitter end as the Captains lost the 10-9 nail-biter in overtime.

“I would say the biggest challenge they presented is that their goalie stood on his head, he had a fantastic game,” said Auslander, who tallied a goal in the finale.

“Their face-off guy played awesome in the first half so we didn’t see the ball that much. They are a great program, they have a kid (Ryan Kennedy), a long pole who is in the Premier Lacrosse

League. He influenced the game a lot, he was a great player. He made the play to win the game in overtime.

You know what, it wasn’t ou r day. We d id n’t ge t the bounces. All credit to them, they deserved it, they worked hard.”

In reflecting on his assist record, Auslander attributed it to a group effort.

“I have got to give all of the credit to my teammates; my job was super easy, I said that all year long,” said Auslander. “There were so many skill guys on our team, it is amazing. Any time I would pass it to one of our top shooters, it was pretty much this one was going to go in.

I would draw a slide and get the ball to them. It is nice to break that record but I give most of the credit to them.”

For Auslander, earning All-American accolades was something very special.

“It is something you dream about as a k id,” said Auslander, who also earned honorable mention All-American honors from USA Lacrosse Magazine, was selected to the firstteam All-Conference and All-State squads, and was an honorable mention AllRegion pick.

“It was such a special year.

I would trade it in to get that Elite Eight win, but it was super special. It is something that I will always remember.

I am super thankful to my teammates because most of it was on them.”

While the year ended on a down note for CNU, Auslander believes that disappointment will spur the Captains to reach new heights next spring.

“We are completely hungry, the work ethic from when we went to the Final Four to this year was huge but I think it will be even bigger next year,” said Auslander, who was studying in Denmark this month and will be playing in some summer lax events in August upon his return to get ready for his senior campaign.

“Obviously we have to have some freshmen come in and play a huge role. The culture will never change. The energy to win and the need to win is defi nitely there. It is going to be a special year, I can tell right now.”

Former PDS Standout Garita Dominates in the Paint As Jefferson Plumbing Makes Summer Hoops Semis Ethan Garita put his nose to the grindstone last winter in order to make an impact in his freshman season for the Lincoln University men’s basketball program.

“It is a different experience, going against great competition, going against grown men,” said former Princeton Day School standout Garita, a 6’9, 200-pound forward, who averaged 1.2 points and 1.5 rebounds in 23 games last winter for the Division II program. “I had to work for it, gradually I got better. I got more playing time, putting in the work in practice and the gym and it showed. It was a great season.”

Garita’s transition was aided by having some familiar faces on the squad, including former Princeton High star Zahr ion Blue, fellow PDS player Freddy Young Jr., and former Trenton Catholic standout Peter Sorber.

“It is a great fit, great

chemistry,” said Garita. “It is good to have some of the guys back from home.”

This summer, Garita had found a good fit, joining the Jefferson Plumbing team in his first season playing in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League.

“I have a couple of close friends, they reached out to me,” said Garita, noting that the squad includes former PDS teammate Connor Topping and is guided

by Panther assistant coach Chris Petrucelli. “I was looking for a different approach trying to prepare for next season in college.”

Last Monday, fifth-seeded Jefferson needed to take a different approach as it faced fourth-seeded Planet Fitness in the quarterfinals of the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League playoffs, having lost 72-68 to their foes in a regular season meeting on July 15.

INSIDE PRESENCE: Ethan Garita heads to the hoop during his career for the Princeton Day School boys’ basketball team. Last Monday, Garita, who played last winter for the Lincoln University men’s hoops program, tallied 20 points to help fifth-seeded Jefferson Plumbing defeat fourth-seeded Planet Fitness 50-38 in the quarterfinals of the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League playoffs. In other playoff action on Monday, seventh-seeded Princeton Supply defeated PATH Academy 75-56 and ninth-seeded Majeski Foundation topped eighth-seeded Market on Main 45-26 in first round contests. In quarterfinal action on Wednesday at the Community Park courts, top-seeded and three-time defending champion LoyalTees will face Majeski while third-seeded Athlete Engineering Institute will play sixth-seeded Pizza Den and secondseeded Homestead will take on Princeton Supply. The semis are slated for July 29 with game one of the best-of-three championships series scheduled for August 1.

“We are a strong offensive team,” said Garita. “Looking back on the last game, we definitely wanted to switch it up and dominate on the defensive end.”

Building a 26-24 lead at halftime, Jefferson stifled Planet Fitness in the second half on the way to a 50 -38 triumph. The win improved Jefferson to 5-5 as it advanced to the semis on Friday where it will face the victor of the quarterfinal matchup between top-seeded and three-time defending league champion Loyaltees and ninth-seeded Majeski Foundation.

“It definitely was more emotion with the playoffs,” said Garita, who tallied 20 points in the victory. “We are all competing to make it to the finals and that is what we did today. It was a good fight. They are a talented team and we came out on top.”

In pulling away from Planet Fitness, Jefferson took care of basics.

“We made free throws downs the stretch and and kept up the pace,” said Garita. “We were up so they had to deal with our momentum.”

Planet Fitness had trouble dealing with Garita around the basket as he piled up most of his points on inside moves.

“That was the main goal from last game, they couldn’t stop us in the paint so do it again,” said Garita. “It was, don’t stop doing something if it is working.”

While Jefferson brought a losing record into the playoffs, Garita believes the team can make a deep postseason run.

“I feel like everyone is sleeping on us,” said Garita.

“We are not a big team but we have heart. We have had a lot of close calls, a lot of close games. We know what we have to work on and we are here to fix that.”

No matter how far Jefferson goes, Garita is getting in some good work as he looks forward to his sophomore season at Lincoln.

“It is definitely good prep, I am enjoying it,” said Garita. “I love to compete, I am here to get better. I am just working on the things that I have got to work on.

If someone is weak in the paint, I will take that every day.”

Our dearest Anne (Elizabeth) Rutman passed away peacefully on Sunday evening, July 17, 2022, at her home in Belle Meade.

A n n e g re w up i n B e loit, Wisconsin, where her grandfather Samuel Kapitanoff, and his three brothers, emigrated from Russia and founded and built a synagogue that recently celebrated its 110th anniversary. She graduated from the University of WisconsinMadison with a degree in business.

Anne began her career at Dayton Hudson and ultimately joined the wholesale children’s-wear apparel industry, including manufacturers American Argo and Nazareth Century Mills. She progressed to the position of Vice President of Sales and Merchandising. She met her husband Phil while flourishing in New York City, and that was the beginning of a beautiful 27-year union.

Those who know Anne and Phil remain witness to their genuine, authentic love affair, single-mindedly devoted to each other’s happiness and welfare. In the height of her career, she gave birth to twin daughters Lily and Julia, her love for whom was so incredible that she chose to retire and raise them in Pennington.

Her passion for service never waning, Anne switched tracks to get more involved in The Jewish Center communit y and suppor t her daughters’ artistic pursuits in their high school performing arts department. At The Jewish Center, she served a few years as President of Jewish Center Women and as a member of the Membership and School Committees, among many other service roles to share her love for her congregation. With the support and encouragement of her loving husband, she achieved her dream of a more intimate connection with God and became a B’nai Mitzvah at about the same time as her daughters.

No words could do her magnificence justice. Anne was at war with cancer for seven years, and she fought with everything she had. She was and will remain an inspiration to all who know her and know of her. She is survived by her husband Phil, her daughters Lily, Julia, the dogs Lola and Stella, her sister Elaine, and her brothers Art and Steve.

Dr. Leon E. Rosenberg Dr. Leon E. Rosenberg, a physician-scientist and medical geneticist whose pioneering research on inherited metabolic disorders in children led to the discovery of the biochemical basis of several disorders, and then to ways of diagnosing and treating them, died on July 22, 2022 at the age of 89.

He is survived by his wife, Diane Drobnis; brother Irwin Rosenberg; four children, Robert Rosenberg, Diana Clark, David Korish, and Alexa Rosenberg; six grandchildren ; and one greatgrandchild.

Leon graduated from Madison West High School in 1950. He attended the University of Wisconsin and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1954 and Doctor of Medicine degree in 1957.

He was a clinical associate at the National Cancer Institute from 1959 to 1962 and a senior investigator from 1963 to 1965.

He chose to become a medical geneticist in the early 1960s, when the field barely existed, and rose to become one of its most notable exemplars and mentors.

Starting as an assistant professor at the Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Rosenberg was the first to recognize inherited disorders of vitamin B12, and to show that supplements of the vitamin in affected children could save their lives or alter dramatically the natural history of the disorders in them. This work led to his selection as the founding chair of a new department of Human Genetics at Yale which joined fundamental genetics and clinical genetics into a single unit. In 1984 he was appointed Dean of the Yale School of Medicine, and served in that capacity until 1991.

After 26 years at Yale, Dr. Rosenberg was appointed Chief Scientific Officer of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. Under his leadership the company discovered and developed pharmaceuticals in cancer, cardiovascular disease, AIDS, and infectious disorders. He left BMS in 1998 at the age of 65, at which point Dr. Rosenberg was appointed Lecturer at the rank of Professor at Princeton University in the department of Molecular Biology and in the Woodrow

Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. After 16 years at Princeton, he worked as an upper school science teacher and scientist at the Princeton Day School until his retirement in 2018.

Dr. Rosenberg was elected to membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1976. He was a member of the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. He received honorary degrees from the University of Wisconsin and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He received the Kober medal in 2003 from the Association of American Physicians. He received the McKusick Award in 2011 from the American Society of Human Genetics.

Dr. Rosenberg’s professional career was also marked by comments he made about two matters of public importance: the abortion debate; and the underrepresentation of African Americans as students and faculty members in academic institutions.

He involved himself with the abortion issue by testifying in 1981 before a U.S. Senate subcommittee considering a bill whose aim was to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision handed down by the United States Supreme Court in 1973. Dr. Rosenberg, ardently pro-choice, said the following: “We all know that this bill is about abortion and nothing but abortion. If this matter is so compelling that our society cannot continue to accept a pluralistic view that makes women and couples responsible for their own reproductive decisions, then I say pass a constitutional amendment that bans abortion...and overturns Roe v. Wade. But don’t ask science or medicine to help justify that course, because they cannot. Ask your conscience, your minister, your priest, your rabbi, or even your god because it is in their domain that this matter resides.”

Dr. Rosenberg’s testimony, and that of other influential scientists, was responsible for the bill ultimately dying before it reached the Senate floor.

In 1988, while Dean of the Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Rosenberg delivered the address before the annual Graduate and Professional Assembly. He spoke about African Americans as an underrepresented, disadvantaged minority at Yale and other academic institutions.

First, he presented powerful statistical evidence for disparities in income, employment, education, and a variety of parameters of health.

After urging the assembled students to open their hearts and minds to the issue, Dr. Rosenberg said: “My generation has proven that it is incapable of making Martin Luther King’s dream a reality...Age has a way of bowing the head rather than squaring the shoulders. We need to be reinforced by you — the less scarred, less scared younger generation. You are the hope of our society. Together, but only together, perhaps we can lead our nation to a height it has never been for a view it has never seen.”

Marianne M. Farrin Marianne M. Farrin, 83, beloved wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, passed away in her home in Princeton, New Jersey, on Sunday, July 24, 2022.

Marianne was born in Berlin, Germany, on September 2, 1938. Her mother, Dagny

Albertsen, came to Berlin from Denmark to pursue a singing career. Her father, Helmut Magers, was a journalist, and the two met following one of Dagny’s performances. They had two more children, Irene and Jürgen, who was born with Down syndrome. They were bombed out of their home numerous times, and eventually Helmut was drafted by the German army, and never returned from the war. In 1944, fearing the Russian advance, Dagny fled to Denmark with her children, and they lived there with Dagny’s family until emigrating to the United States in 1954.

Marianne went to Hollywood High School for two years, and despite being new to the language and to the United States, graduated as

valedictorian of her class.

She received a full scholarship to Stanford University, where she met her husband, James (Jim) Farrin, and they were married in 1960. They then lived in nine overseas countries for 17 years (Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, Mexico, England, Switzerland, France), raising five children, before returning to the United States.

After her children had left home, Marianne decided to pursue a joint degree in Psychoanalytic Training from the Blanton-Peale Institute and a Masters in Social Work from Fordham University. She then worked as a therapist in New York City for many years. In 2000, after not having been on a bicycle since her youth in Den-

mark, at the age of 61, she decided to bike across the United States, from Seattle to Washington, DC, with the American Lung Association’s Big Ride. It was one of the highlights of her life.

In 2004, Marianne and Jim moved to Princeton, New Jersey, so she could pursue a Masters of Divinity from Princeton University which she received in 2007, at the age of 69. She ultimately turned her energies to writing her memoir, From Berlin to Hollywood and Beyond, which was published in 2018.

An avid traveler, adventurer, and scholar, she was also deeply devoted to her family and friends, loved writing, history, art, music, birds, and flowers, and while living in Princeton loved to walk around the town and

university and visit the art museum. Her Christian faith was a central part of her life, and she was actively involved in the church and volunteered for numerous organizations, including hospice.

Her strength, yet gentle and calm manner and beautiful smile will not be forgotten by those who were blessed to know her.

Sadly for her and her family, she was stripped of her ability to speak as the result of Primary Progressive Aphasia, which ultimately led to her death.

She is sur vived by her husband, Jim, of 62 years, as well as her five children, James Scott (Robin), of Hillsborough, NC; Jennifer Emerson (Scott Swerdlin) of San Francisco, CA; Raymond of Kuwait City, Kuwait; Melody of Pittsburgh, PA; Jonathan of Atlantic Beach, FL), eight grandchildren (Ellie, Scottie, Parker, James, Morgan, Tyler, Dagny, Amelia), and her sister Irene (Julian) Gingold and nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her father, Helmut Magers, mother, Dagny Alber tsen Magers, and brother, Jürgen Magers.

Funeral arrangements are u nder t he d ire c t ion of Mather-Hodge Funeral Home in Princeton, NJ. Funeral service was held at the Princeton University Chapel on Monday, July 25, 2022.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to either Holy Redeemer Hospice (redeemerhealth.org), Global Down Syndrome Foundation (globaldownsyndrome.org), or Herrontown Woods in Princeton (herrontownwoods.org).

Mrs. Eileen Rose Walsh Bradley, 91, of Skillman, NJ, died Saturday, July 16, 2022, surrounded by loving family at Stonebridge nursing home in Skillman.

H e r m ot h e r, M a r g a r e t Brady Walsh, and father, Edward Patrick Walsh, were immigrants from County Cavan and County Waterford, respectively, in Ireland. Eileen was born in Morristown, NJ, on October 25, 1930, and grew up in Morristown, attending Bayley-Ellard High School and graduating in 1952 from St. Elizabeth’s College in Convent Station, NJ, with a B.S. in Biology.

Af ter graduation, Eileen was a laboratory technician at Ciba-Geigy in NJ. A lifelong lover and performer of

dance, music, and song, she founded her own dancing and piano school in Morristown, NJ, during college.

In 1955 she married Dr. Eugene Bradley (1923- 2015) in Morristown, NJ while he was completing his internship and residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital in Jersey City, NJ. After marriage Eileen and Eugene moved to Tacoma, WA, where Eugene served for two years in the U.S. Army as Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Madigan Army General Hospital.

The couple subsequently moved to Bellaire, OH, and Wyckoff and Pompton Lakes, NJ, where Eileen raised five children while Eugene began private practice in Obstetrics and Gynecolog y.

Always deeply involved with St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church and Grammar School in Pompton Lakes, Eileen taught Irish step dancing, tap and ballet, and organized dance performances for the school. She sponsored concerts, piano master classes and guitar lessons for neighborhood families at home in Pompton Lakes. Her entrepreneurial spirit continued in the early 1970s when she became a Certified Childbirth Educator through ASPO, the teaching arm of the Lamaze Method of Education for Childbirth, and operated her own childbirth education classes for the community.

She assisted hundreds of parents over the years with Lamaze childbirth techniques, remaining close with many of her pupils.

Eileen was introduced to Martha’s Vineyard during her childhood when her maternal aunt, Kathleen Brady, married Gordon Shurtleff, a native there, in the 1920s.

Eileen spent many summers in Edgartown as a child and developed a great love of the island and its history, later instilling a love of the island in her own children and their families. After retirement, she was a docent for the Martha’s Vineyard Historical Society and Museum. It brought her great joy to spend time with her grandchildren in Martha’s Vineyard and NJ. She spent her later years involved with the parish and choir of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Community in Skillman. She is survived by five children and 11 grandchildren : son Br ian and wife Jan Bradley and their children Kayla and Elena; daughter Eileen; son Patrick and wife Andrea Bradley and their children Nicholas, Connor, and Nora; son Dr. Sean Bradley and wife Dr. Karen DeSimone and their children Kyra, Ryan, Jason, and Evan; and son Brendan and wife Bridget Poole and their children Fiona and Anna.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on July 19 at the Catholic Community of St. Charles Borromeo in Skillman, NJ. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, 151 Lagoon Pond Road, Vineyard Haven, MA 02568, Attn: Heather Seger, Executive Director.

Pauline Wood Egan died peacefully at the age of 74 on July 11 which, perhaps emblematic of her unending dedication to husband William (Bill) C. Egan, was the date of their 52nd wedding anniversary. Pauline, known by her loving family as “Mu,” succumbed to cancer gracefully, surrounded by her children and grandchildren at their residence in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Born to Arthur MacDougall Wood and Pau line Palmer Wood of Chicago on June 9, 1948, Pauline spent her childhood in Lake Forest Illinois and Pasadena California before attending Smith College. After her graduation, she was married in Lake Forest, Illinois, on July 11, 1970 and then moved to the north coast of Honduras where her husband was working in the Peace Corps. She lived most of her married life in Princeton, New Jersey.

Pauline will be remembered foremost for her love of family which included five children and 15 grandchildren. She was the heartbeat of this family. They were her greatest source of joy, and the focus

source of advice and described as a master of compassion and love, whose footprints will remain on the souls she leaves behind. She was thoughtful, empathetic, creative, and articulate — for so very many, the perfect friend.

S h e w as m ag n a n i m ou s with her affection, sup port, and humor and she loved fiercely. To family, she was simply the center of everything. Annual calendar planning started and ended with “visits to Mu,” and Pauline managed to equitably spread her love and attention across so many adoring children and grandchildren which was her greatest gift to them.

of her life and travels. She was the quintessential matriarch, treasured by all of her descendants as a limitless source of kindness, generosity, gentility, and warmth. Pauline enjoyed most being surrounded by family but also by nature, be it pink sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico or the wondrous wildlife of Jackson Hole.

Pauline was known for her empathy and compassion for others, her unp a r a l l e l e d h a n d w r i t te n correspondences, and indefatigable desire to make others feel her genuine love through gifts and words.

Pau line was adored by friends and family alike for her honesty and integrity, her brilliance and wit, and her ability to connect effortlessly and authentically with the young and the old.

She was a prolific reader of books, a great student of history and the arts, a dedicated needlepointer, a world class shopper, the proud overseer for many a beautiful garden, and the unwavering caregiver for dozens upon dozens of animal companions throughout her lifetime. Pauline was generous with her time toward causes close to her heart, having served as the Chairwoman of the Board at St uar t C ou nt r y Day School of the Sacred Heart, as a Trustee for Camp Kieve for Boys, as the Chairwoman of SAVE — A Friend to Homeless Animals and as a benefactor for various humanitarian and social service organizations.

Pauline’s enduring legacy will be one of togetherness and love. To her friends, she was a trusted and loyal

Adding storage solutions to your home can optimize and maximize your living spaces, whether they’re small or spacious. Bookshelves and open shelving, whether they are builtͲin or freestanding, are a versatile solution that work in any room.

Shelving allows you to design and designate an area for a specific purpose, which is essential step for organizing your home. It makes it easier, especially for kids, to keep things organized when they know exactly where to put them away.

Here are some roomͲbyͲroom suggestions to add clever storage to your living spaces:

 Kitchen: Open shelving is a popular and budgetͲfriendly option instead of upper cabinets. Use open shelving to create a coffee bar or baking area.

 Bathrooms: Open shelving units with baskets work well in small bathrooms for extra

storage. Wall shelves provide extra towel storage.  Dining Room: For a dining room/home office, use small shelving units to house office supplies that can be quickly stowed away at mealtime.  Basements – BuiltͲin shelves can work for a playroom, media room, or craft space – or a combination of all three. The unused space under basement stairs is an excellent place to add shelving units.
