Council to Explore Public/Private Partnership For Food Waste Program Princeton Council is looking into a replacement for the Curbside Organics Program that was suspended in February. At a meeting July 22, Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield outlined a possible public/private partnership that would have the town doing the hauling, and a private contractor processing the material. Council members indicated they are interested in pursuing the possibility. “There is a unique opportunity we have,” Dashield said. “We have been in discussions with MetLife Stadium, and they have a digester they are not using anymore, and they are willing to donate it.” Dashield said it would cost the town about $20,000 to repair dents and rust in the digester, and to move it to the local area. Representatives of the town visited the stadium to inspect the digester, and have been told by the manufacturer that it is otherwise in good shape. Partnering with a private contractor would provide the town with “the best of both worlds,” Dashield said. “The municipality would provide the hauling, which eliminates the need to go out for bid.” The arrangement would also allow the town to have control over the process, and it would reduce some of the regulatory requirements. A local farm is envisioned as the partner in the program. “We know there is an interest,” Dashield said. “We would do an RFP (request for proposal).” Princeton’s Curbside Organics Program was suspended early this year after seven years of operation. Solterra, the solid waste contractor, was not making required pickups, and there were periodic failures to take the food waste to a farm for composting, delivering it instead to a landfill. In addition, when the town sought new bids for waste hauling and disposal, the only bidder was Solterra, at double the previous price. Some 800 families were enrolled in the service, which cost $65 a year. Princeton was the first town in New Jersey to start a composting program, and last year was one of 35 cities to receive a challenge grant of $100,000 from Bloomberg Philanthropies to further develop its organic waste plan. Mayor Liz Lempert called the proposal Continued on Page 9

Public Art in the W-J Historic District— Who Will Make the Decision, and How?

A diverse gathering of about 70 met at the First Baptist Church of Princeton on John Street, Saturday morning, July 27, to grapple with the question of public art in general, and, more specifically, public art in the Witherspoon-Jackson (W-J) Historic District. Sponsored by the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association (WJNA) in response to a mural project proposed by

the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP), the meeting was not to discuss the ACP plan and “NOT to come to a decision but to begin a conversation and dialogue among the people who live in the neighborhood,” as the WJNA invitation flier noted. “We are backing up the process and starting it all over again where we believe it should have begun in the first place, Continued on Page 11

according to the school’s website. Her work on the project dates from an archaeology course she took in the fall of 2018. She was unaware of the green ovals before she began the internship. But her work on the project has broadened her way of looking at history. “It’s interesting to imagine Princeton before it was so built up,” she said. “It’s sort of aweinspiring that these 18thcentury buildings are still here. They provide a kind of lens into the past. And once you know about the plaques, they’re hard to miss.” Minard hopes to do public history or creative work

Yet few people, even the most devoted history buffs, are aware of these markers. With that in mind, the HSP has introduced a new digital tour of the identified buildings on its mobile app. The tour was designed by Abbie Minard, a rising senior at Princeton University and an intern at the HSP for the past nine weeks. On Thursday, August 8, at 7 p.m., Minard will give a talk about the plaques and what they represent, at the HSP’s Updike Farmstead museum. The event is free, but reservations are suggested. The program is intended as a snapshot of 18th-century life in Princeton, including stories of Loyalists and Revolutionary War soldiers, tradespeople, Continental Congressmen, early farmers, and Princeton’s enslaved residents, among others. “I’ll talk about some of the themes of 18th-century Princeton, and how various groups of houses illustrate those themes,” said Minard, who is a native of Pittsburgh, Pa. “There is the Quaker community of Stony Brook, and then there are the bigger mansion houses in the We s te r n S e c t i o n w h e r e wealthier people lived. Then there are the houses along Nassau Street, which catered to travelers between New York and Philadelphia.” Minard’s internship is part of the University’s Program for Com mu nit y- E ngaged Scholarship, which “fosters collaborative, change-oriented projects of an intellectual nature that benefit students, faculty members, and community partners,”

a new artistic director, Executive Director Julie Diana Hench will assume artistic responsibilities “and has assembled a strong leadership team to work directly with the company,” the release reads. Hench was a principal dancer with the San Francisco Ballet and the Pennsylvania Ballet before serving for two years as executive director of Juneau Dance Theatre in Juneau, Alaska. She came to ARB in 2017. “Having a home theater at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center enables us to provide dancers and audiences with more performances, while increasing the diversity of programming and community engagement,” Hench said in an email. “We are proud to be a Founding Resident Company alongside our fellow arts organizations that will make this incredible new facility our home.” Guest choreographers for ARB’s 2019-2020 season will include Ethan Stiefel, formerly a principal with American Ballet Theatre and past artistic director of the Royal New Zealand Ballet;

Septime Webre, former artistic director of ARB and the Washington Ballet, and current head of the Hong Kong Ballet; Sean Mahoney, former member of ARB and The Paul Taylor Dance Company; choreographer Riccardo De Nigris; and Ana Novoa, former principal dancer with the National Ballet of Cuba. The ballet company is celebrating its 40th anniversary season with appearances at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center September 20-22, and later shows at the Mandell Theater at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Two River Theater in Red Bank, McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, and the Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College in New York. Annual performances of The Nutcracker will be at McCarter, Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton, the State Theatre New Jersey in New Brunswick, and Union County Playhouse in Rahway. The $170 million stateof-the-art performing arts complex, at 11 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick, is a partnership between Philadelphia-based Pennrose

Arts Center to accommodate lecture, community, and musical events.” Hench said the new residency will broaden ARB’s reach. “A R B also looks for ward to new collabo rations with our NBPAC partnering organizations: George Street Playhouse, Crossroads Theatre Company, and Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts,” she said. “Being in a stateof-the-art facility will also provide more oppor tunities for our Princeton Ballet School students, including our DANCE POWER Scholars, to interact with our professional dancers and, in turn, the Company dancers will take greater roles in ARB’s community outreach efforts.” —Anne Levin

American Repertory Ballet (ARB) will become a Founding Resident Company of the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC) this fall. The 23-story, mixed-use project in New Brunswick’s downtown will contain two proscenium-style theaters and additional rehearsal space for the ballet company, including studios for its DANCE POWER program and an expanded New Brunswick presence for Princeton Ballet School (the school will maintain its Princeton Shopping Center and Cranbury studio locations). The ballet company also announced this week that longtime artistic director Douglas Martin “will be pursuing other opportunities,” and a national search is underway for a new artistic director. Martin has been in the position since 2010. He was a leading dancer with the company from 1993 until becoming artistic director. “ARB thanks Mr. Martin for his longtime service and wishes him all the best on his future endeavors,” a press release reads.

“a potentially exciting opportunity,” and said MetLife has indicated that the town needs to make a decision in the next few weeks. “It would be helpful to have an analysis of the hauling at our next meeting,” she said. “The municipality has been working on what it would look like, and what the costs are to bring this in-house.” Councilwoman Leticia Fraga asked Dashield if there was a specific number of households that would need to participate in the program. He said it would be cost-effective if it can be kept at its previous level, or slightly above. Council President Jenny Crumiller and Councilwoman Eve Niedergang commented that they support the effort, but want to see the final numbers before making a decision.

Former BOE Member Dafna Kendal Joins 3 Others in School Board Race For m e r S ch o ol B o ard Member Dafna Kendal will join incu mbents Debbie Bronfeld and Greg Stankiewicz and new candidate Susan Kanter on the ballot in the November 5 election for three spots on the ten-member Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE). According to the Mercer County Clerk’s Office, at the Monday, July 29 4 p.m. filing deadline, there were just four candidates for the three positions with three-year terms on the Princeton BOE. Bill Hare, whose term ends on December 31, 2019, will not be running for re-election. Kendal, a lawyer with a son at Princeton High School (PHS) and a daughter at John Witherspoon Middle School, served on the BOE from 2016 through 2018, chairing three different committees and filling the post of vice president for part of her tenure. She was defeated in a close election last fall, as two newcomers, Brian McDonald and Daniel Dart, along with incumbent Betsy Kalber Baglio, won the three available spots. “I decided to run again because I am concerned about the financial condition of the district, and the effect it has had on the education of our students,” Kendal wrote in an email. “The school district must right itself financially, without sacrificing vital programs and services for our students, all of whom deserve a school environment that allows them to develop to their full potential.”

She emphasized that the district must seek revenue from sources other than residents who are already bearing a heavy tax burden. She noted her success during her term on the BOE in securing voluntary payments for the school district from the Institute for Advanced Study. She also mentioned her role in “negotiating an 8:20 a.m. start time at PHS, for the health and well-being of our students.” Kendal described herself as “an experienced, progressive champion for public education who has been steadfast in prioritizing the education of students of all backgrounds and abilities.” She added, “Responsibly serving our community calls for compassion, transparency, and careful navigation of budgetary constraints, all of which I have demonstrated during my prior service on the Board of Education.” —Donald Gilpin

MCCC to Expand Free College Program

Mercer County Community College will be launching an expanded free community college program for the upcoming academic year, made possible through additional funding for the Community College Opportunity Grant ( CCOG ) program in the 2019-20 New Jersey state budget, recently signed by Gov. Phil Murphy. Under the new guidelines, households with an adjusted gross income of $65,000 or less are eligible, and the pro-

gram has been expanded to dependent students who are attending college part-time, as well as fees for nursing, culinary, and other career and technical education programs. “This action by the Legislature and Gov. Murphy is a tremendous step toward making a quality college education accessible to all,” said MCCC President Dr. Jianping Wang. “We have a tremendous under-served population who face substantial economic challenges, and this program breaks down barriers. It has the power to change lives.” Almost a year ago, Murphy announced that MCCC and 12 other New Jersey community colleges would share in a $25 million grant for a CCOG pilot program, the first step in providing a community college education to all New Jersey residents. This initial grant was limited to students with household incomes of less than $45,000. The expansion, Wang said, creates options for economically-disadvantaged families in the region who struggle with the rising cost of a college education. “This is a tremendous opportunity for those who dream of a college degree and a rewarding career, who are willing to put in the work, but face financial obstacles,” said Wang. St udents interested in this free college tuition opportunity at Mercer County Communit y College can call (609) 570-3795, email admiss @mccc.edu, or vis-B:10” it www.mccc.edu/free for T:10” more information.

School Matters Local Students Earn Medals at Biology Olympiad A Princeton High School (PHS) student and two West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South (WWPHSS) students were among the medal winners at the 17th Annual USA Biology Olympiad National Finals held at UC San Diego June 22 to July 3. PHS’ John Yang and WWPHSS’ Richard Chai earned bronze medals, while WWPHSS’ Atharv Oak won a silver medal. Nearly 10,000 students from 498 schools and 45 states participated in the nationwide high school competition sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Education.

PHS and Montgomery Students Participate in ACLU Institute Riley McMahon from Princeton High School and Sara Ahmed and Sinjit Bhattacharya from Montgomery High School joined almost 1,000 students from every state in the country July 20-26 at the American Civil Liberties Union’s annual Summer Advocacy Institute in Washington, D.C. Designed to give students the tools they need to engage their communities on issues around civil liberties and civil rights, the Institute culminated in a July 25 Lobby Day, where students participated in meetings with elected officials and congressional staff on Capitol Hill to bring attention to the conditions immigrant families are held in at the border, as well as the threat posed by law enforcement officers overreaching in the use of facial recognition technology. During the week-long Institute, the students received firsthand experience from lawyers, lobbyists, community activists, and other experts dedicated to defending constitutional rights.

Facilities Upgrades and Student Summer Programs at PPS Summer is hardly a quiet time at the Princeton Public Schools, with summer programs in session for elementary, middle school, and high school students; air conditioning installations at Princeton High School and Riverside Elementary; and electrical upgrades on tap for all the schools. Almost 400 PPS students will participate in district programs this summer. Community Park (CP) hosts the YWCA Princeton Mini Achievers Program and a Spanish language enrichment summer program sponsored by the CP PTO. CP also serves as the rainy-day home for various Princeton Recreation Department programs, and the Princeton Tennis Camp comes indoors at CP on rainy days. John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS) hosts a number of summer programs, including STARRS (Students Thinking for Academic Rigor, Readiness, and Success), a federally-funded program that also includes students in AIS (Accelerated Intervention Services) and ELL (English Language Learners). In terms of facilities upgrades, PHS is installing air conditioning in its gym, which, in addition to sports events and physical education classes, is also used for testing, graduation, and other large school and community events. Riverside School this summer is the first elementary school to receive new airconditioning and heating units — 28 high-efficiency HVAC units — with Littlebrook, Community Park, and Johnson Park looking forward to the installation of new air conditioning in the summer of 2020.

To qualify for the advertised APY, you must enroll your new or existing Platinum Savings account in this offer between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 by speaking to a banker and requesting the special rate. Offer is subject to change at any time, without notice, and is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: CT, DE, FL, NJ, NY, PA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 1.98% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the promotional interest rate period. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes all deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.00%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000, the enrolled account will not be eligible for the Special Rate and will instead earn the applicable Standard Interest Rate for a Platinum Savings account. As of 05/31/2019, the Standard Interest Rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in CT, FL, NJ and NY with an account balance of $0.01 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY); and for a Platinum Savings account in DE and PA with an account balance of $0.01 to $99,999.99 is 0.05% (0.05% APY) and with an account balance of $100,000 and above is 0.10% (0.10% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, then-current Standard Interest Rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. 2. Available in-branch only; you must speak with a banker to request the special rate. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 and requires a minimum of $25,000 in new money brought to Wells Fargo. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A penalty for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the special rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. 1., 2. Due to the new money requirement, new accounts may only be opened at your local branch and you must speak to a banker to request the special rate offers for both new and existing accounts. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be: • Combined with any other consumer deposit offer. • Reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable standard interest rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal.

to get input from the community before it went anywhere else,” WJNA Chairman Leighton Newlin told the gathering. The ACP proposal for a mural painted by former Princeton resident Marlon Davila covering the outer wall of Lupita Groceries on Leigh Avenue was endorsed by the town’s Public Art Selection Committee, then went for review to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), which, amidst significant local concern, asked the ACP to gather more input from the W-J community. Saturday’s meeting, led by Newlin, accompanied by

HPC Officer Elizabeth Kim and Witherspoon-Jackson H i s tor i c a l a n d Cu lt u r a l Society President Shirley Satterfield, succeeded in bringing out a wide range of voices and perspectives — more than 25 different speakers — on art; public art; history; and the past, present, and future of the W-J neighborhood. Pointing out the rich diversity of the neighborhood and emphasizing that “there has never been friction, animosity, or dislike between any ethnicities” in W-J, Newlin urged that appropriate decision-making processes need to be developed. “The problem was the process,” he said. “That’s why there was some angst,

because some people felt bypassed, marginalized, and disrespected. Every ethnicity under the sun lives in the W-J neighborhood, and that’s what makes it the neighborhood that it is.” Newlin went on to call for the building of consensus “about how we want to move forward when there are decisions to be made in our neighborhood, and also how to start a real dialogue, rather than allow outside forces to dictate parameters by which we engage each other.” In explaining the role of the HPC, Kim acknowledged that “this is new for us.” She said that the HPC had never before had an application for public art in a historic

WHO DECIDES?: Veronica Olivares Weber, a former resident of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, spoke to the three panelists — (from left) Elizabeth Kim of the Historic Preservation Commission, Leighton Newlin of the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association, and Shirley Satterfield of the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society — at Saturday’s discussion of public art in the Witherspoon-Jackson Historic District.

district, and they were looking for guidelines for the process. “Is public art appropriate for any of the historic districts? If so, which ones?” She noted that the HPC deals with applications on a case-by-case basis, but acknowledged, “There’s a lot more discussion the HPC has to do.” Many local artists and other supporters of public art spoke during the two-hour meeting, though there was no consensus on the question of the appropriateness of public art in a historic district. Descr ibing the cur rent discussion as “a teaching moment” and the opportunity to develop an effective process and suitable guidelines, Councilwoman Leticia Fraga said she is generally in favor of public art. “It gives me a sense of place for the particular neighborhood. Depending on what it represents it can also be something that is welcoming to me.” Maria Evans, ACP artistic director and initiator of the project proposal, noted that “Public art is everywhere. It is incorporated in our lives. Public art provokes conversations, ideas, and interest.” She added that the current discussion “is a valuable thing to be having.” Dosier Hammond, longtime Leigh Avenue resident, weighed the conflicting issues, and emphasized the importance of a fair process with ideas generated from the neighborhood itself. “The question is ‘What does the neighborhood want? ’” he said. He continued, “If we do have public art, it

ought to reflect the history and diversity of the neighborhood.” As planned, the meeting ended with no resolution, but the process, and the need for ongoing development of that process, will continue. As Satterfield noted in her opening commentary on public art, “In a diverse community all art cannot appeal to all people nor should it be expected to do so. Public art causes controversy. Varied popular opinion is inevitable. What is needed is a commitment to invention, boldness, and cooperation, not compromise.” Or as Davila, the proposed mural artist, told the gathering “I just want to celebrate all of us being here today and thank you all for caring about our beautiful town. Don’t forget the big picture. We’re a communit y and that’s what it’s all about.” —Donald Gilpin

Environment New Jersey Cites Princeton For Leadership in Reducing Air Pollution

To the Editor: Air pollution threatens the sustainability of the environment and harms human health by causing multiple respiratory diseases. Transportation is the leading cause of air pollution, and as such, I was proud to see that Princeton passed a municipal resolution supporting increased electric vehicle usage. Electric vehicles are cleaner than petroleum fueled vehicles, resulting in fewer environmental impacts and health problems. The actions of the Princeton Council members result in better air quality in Princeton as well as throughout New Jersey. Environment New Jersey commends the Princeton Council members for their commitment to reducing air pollution and protecting human health. Through the work of Governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey has taken several steps towards creating a more sustainable environment, and it’s exciting to see Princeton take a leadership position in reducing air pollution. While state action is impressive, municipal resolutions like the one passed in Princeton greatly benefit local communities and show a dedication to protecting the health of residents and the quality of the town. I hope that other cities throughout New Jersey will follow Princeton’s lead and implement similar resolutions supporting the use of electric vehicles. JESSICA LEVY Environment New Jersey

Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood”: He Always Gives Us Plenty to Talk About

efore I put my moviegoer cards on the table, I should say upfront how much I enjoyed Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood. I found more to like and even love in it than in anything I’ve ever seen by the director of that iconic cinematic sugar rush, Pulp Fiction (1994). If you asked me my favorite moments in the films of Wim Wenders or Jim Jarmusch (not to mention, not yet, Sergio Leone), I could go on for an hour and still have more to say. With Tarantino, it usually comes down to the moment when John Travolta and a barefoot Uma Thurman do the Twist in a nightclub dance contest, Thurman’s character having just told Travolta’s character that his gangster boss, her boyfriend, killed a man for massaging her feet. After that, the sugar began losing its kick and I had second thoughts about every single blood-bright bravura scene. But there was no denying the excitement of a new thing under the Hollywood sun. The mere fact that there was so much to talk and argue and bitch about was an accomplishment in itself. With Tarantino’s latest still fresh in mind, I have no second thoughts worth mentioning about the interplay between Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton, a fading TV cowboy, and Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth, his charismatic stuntman double, driver, man Friday, and drinking buddy. I enjoyed watching the two speeding around LA in Dalton’s white Caddy, and the way Tarantino caught the nighttime, neon-branded, Sunset Strip spirit of the time and place. While DiCaprio gives an Oscar-worthy performance, Pitt supplies old-fashioned star power with his warmly earthy, goodhumored alternative to the dour heroes played by Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen. He’s a joy to watch at all times, whether he’s smilingly destroying an insufferably arrogant Bruce Lee (Mike Moh), going through an elaborate routine of feeding his pit bull Brandy, or fixing the television aerial on the roof of Rick’s Cielo Drive home, which just happens to be located in the immediate vicinity of the crime-scene-to-be inhabited “in real life” by Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski. “What Are You Reading?” Meanwhile DiCaprio has a movie-ina-movie all his own as the fallen bounty hunter hero reduced to playing a Bwestern heavy, blowing his lines, raging and weeping, and sharing an uncharacteristically-for-Tarantino tender, sensitively directed scene with Julia Butters, a child actress who has captured every reviewer’s heart, including mine. You sense the uniqueness of what is about to happen the moment you see her on the set, with the big book in her lap, her cowboy-booted feet poking out from the gingham dress. In that first moment she suggests more sheer presence than anyone in the film. You’re wondering what’s she doing in a Tarantino movie and at the same time feeling

it’s exactly right that she’s sitting there as Rick sits down nearby, after politely asking her permission, and begins reading a paperback western. The perfect pitch exchange between the two on the simple subject what-are-you-reading reminds you that Tarantino’s greatest gift remains his mastery of dialogue. She’s cool, even severely superior at first, but as he tells her the plot of the western and begins to lose control of his emotions in his identification with the unhappy character he’s describing, she puts her book down, comes over, puts one hand on his knee, and gently, sweetly consoles him. One wrong word, one false move by either actor and the scene would dissolve into the sort of schmaltz hardcore Tarantino fans would deride. And when you reach the double whammy shell game of the savage denouement, you can’t help feeling t h a t Ta r a n t i n o has covered his bloody tracks by feeding you this tender scene to savor while you’re having Second Thoughts writ large. Sharon and Michelle The doomed starlet Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) is featured in a small film of her own that includes a trip to a bookstore and a daytime visit to a Westwood Village cinema to see herself on the screen in a supporting role with Dean Martin in The Wrecking Crew. Again with uncharacterstic delicacy, Tarantino captures the excitement of a young actress who has not yet arrived enjoying a fan’s-eye view of herself. Of course there’s no way to watch her being so lovably, innocently full of herself without the frisson of knowing what’s going to befall her in “real life.” Watching Robbie as Tate, I kept thinking of how well Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and Papas might have played the part when she was the same age. The connection came to mind because of a moving, luminous, caught-for-theages close up shot of Michelle in Andrew Slater’s song-filled documentary Echo in the Canyon, which offers a nostalgic feel-good alternative vision of the same time and place when musicians like Brian Wilson, Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and Phillips and Mama Cass were hanging out, enjoying Laurel Canyon’s open-door ambiance, casually dropping in, jamming, everything glowing, fine and mellow — until

ley from The Leftovers), one of Manson’s tribe. Although the mood on the drive up has been playful, with Cliff as always totally in command, unphased by the knockout-lovely young girl’s advances, the mood changes as soon as he steps out of the car. The atmosphere is somewhere between the Bates Motel in Psycho and Village of the Damned. The menace is palpable, given an additional edge because of our existing awareness of the mythic enormity of the murders. This is the devil’s domain minus Manson, who doesn’t need to be there, so powerfully is his Svengali ambiance evoked. Cliff’s courage is never in question. He’s an unarmed version of Eastwood’s Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Sensing his onetime friend George Spahn may be in trouble because of the guarded reaction to any mention of his name, Cliff persists, pushing blithely through every barrier, every threat-implicit excuse the women put in his way. By the time he finally enters the room where George is sleeping (or is he dead?), the Hitchcock vibe is so intense, he could be walking into the finale of Psycho, except he’s in control, and George (Bruce Dern) is alive and grumpily wants to keep sleeping, and says he doesn’t remember Cliff. I’d mark this detailed account with a spoiler alert, only anyone who has seen Cliff in action knows that he’s going to survive the challenges and carry the day, never mind the slashed rear tire in Rick’s car and the grinning sleazebag who did the deed, and is fool enough to step into the showdown ring with Cliff. The Ending peaking of spoilers, Tarantino has good reason to want us to come unprepared to his denouement. As I suggested, it’s a shell game ending, brilliant, exhilarating, and devious. We’ve been nervously anticipating a blood bath and Tarantino delivers, but it’s not the one we were dreading. Judging from the laughter and other signs of enjoyment (and relief) at a recent showing at Princeton’s packed Garden Theatre, the audience loved it. My guess is that once the sugar rush recedes, people will have second thoughts. Or at least plenty to talk about, as my wife and I have been doing. That may be Tarantino’s most enduring contribution to cinema — he always gives us plenty to talk about, including a choice of title that reminds me of seeing Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West 50 summers ago at a theatre in Denver. Tarantino must know, deep down, that neither he nor anyone else is likely to accomplish anything cinematically close to what Leone manages merely in the extended opening credit sequence of the original Once Upon a Time, not to mention the stirring denouement of Leone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, said to be Tarantino’s favorite movie. —Stuart Mitchner

the night of August 9, 1969. During a 2001 interview on knotslanding.net, Phillips still finds it hard to talk about the Manson murders, speaking in extremes of “rampant paranoia, unspeakable pain, terrible horror.” Describing how she “walked all the way up Cielo Drive for the first time in 34 years and went to where the house is,” she says “it made me cry.... But I really can’t talk about this.” Did she identify with Sharon Tate? How could she not? Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood subtly evokes the miasma of the Manson cult, the shadow of menace and horror conspicuous by its absence in Echo in the Canyon. One of Tarantino’s evil masterstrokes is the choice of the song playing on the soundtrack as the Manson cult death car with its three girls armed and ready rumbles ominously up Cielo Drive. What you hear are the gorgeous harmonies of the Mamas and the Papas singing “TwelveThirty,” arguably the most beautiful song they ever recorded, with its first line, murderously ironic in this context, “Young girls are coming to the canyon.” H e r e ’s a s o n g nicely evoking the idyll depicted in the other film, contrasting “dark and dirty” New York City with life in Laurel Canyon, where “it’s so strange to feel so friendly, to say good morning and really mean it.” How strange and how wrenching for Michelle Phillips, should she have the courage to sit all the way through Tarantino’s film, to hear her younger self singing those harmonies, those words, with the dreaded denouement looming — unless of course she’d been alerted to the fact that Tarantino has something else in mind. Showdown at the Spahn Ranch The most inspired film within this film is centered on the subtly suspenseful, showdown-tense visit Cliff Booth pays to the Manson family coven on George Spahn’s ranch, where Cliff had done some stunt work years before. So much is both happening and impending in this sequence, it needs to be seen more than once to be fully appreciated. It has the aura of a sinister western you feel that you must have seen or perhaps dreamed in a nightmare. Cliff arrives in Rick’s white Caddy, having given a lift to Pussycat (Margaret Qual-

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

THEATER REVIEW

Fairies Disrupt Romance in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream;” Princeton Summer Theater Reinterprets Shakespeare’s Comedy Princeton Summer Theater is presenting a bold, somewhat abstract reinterpretation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. William Shakespeare’s comedy (c. 1595), in which fairies disrupt the romantic lives of ancient Athenians, is an apt choice for a season whose mission is to “explore love in all its forms.” Director Maeli Goren has added an environmental focus, going so far as to begin the play with a speech that does not appear in the script until the second act. Titania, Queen of Fairies, offers this warning: “The spring, the summer, the childing autumn, angry winter change their wonted liveries, and the mazèd world, by their increase, now knows not which is which. And this same progeny of evils comes from our debate, from our dissension.” Goren is a director with a distinct style, and she is skillful in selecting plays that give her sufficient latitude to add and develop her viewpoint. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a fine example, because of its fantasy storyline and characters, and a play-within-a-play. This production features elements which Goren has utilized in the past, including gender-bending casting and the use of puppetry. A Midsummer Night’s Dream often is associated with iconic images of idyllic moonlit forests. Notable examples include the paintings Hermia and Lysander (1870) by John Simmons, and Midsummer Eve (c. 1908) by Edward Robert Hughes. Goren rejects such ethereal imagery in favor of a harsher, dystopian aesthetic. In keeping with the ecological theme, a potted plant is the only greenery that disrupts a metallic, sterile tableau. The stage is littered with silver trash cans and buckets, and white detergent bottles form the base of puppets used in the show. Megan Berry’s lighting is bright — antithetical to a moonlight setting — finally dimming a bit to offer a warmer, more relaxing atmosphere to mark the arrival of Puck and the fairies. Audiences who have attended other productions at the Hamilton Murray Theater will notice that even the performance space has been altered. There is seating at the back and sides of the proscenium stage, so that this production is presented in the round. Jeffrey Van Velsor’s set consists of metal poles that form a greenhouse-like structure; this transparency is echoed by one of the props: a clear plastic umbrella. This production obviously seeks to startle audiences. Nevertheless, much of its design can be linked to the story, which begins with Theseus, Duke of Athens, discussing his impending wedding to Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. (Some scholars have hypothesized that the play was written to be part of the celebration of an aristocratic wedding, though the Royal Shakespeare Company’s website asserts “there is no conclusive evidence to confirm this theory.”)

The set and costumes connect with the wedding motif, despite the considerable extent to which they oppose the serenity of the tableaux offered by previous interpretations. The greenhouse somewhat resembles a wedding arch or gazebo, especially when lit with festive lanterns. Jules Peiperl’s costumes employ a color palette of bridal white or ivory. A notable exception the brown shirt and blue overalls worn by Nick Bottom, a weaver and one of the “rude mechanicals” who perform in Pyramus and Thisbe, a play-within-a-play with which the wedding guests are entertained. This color scheme extends to a white bird, which is a puppet; and to a beige marionette, which has a pseudo-human appearance. These eerie creations by puppet designer Toria Sterling are part of a distinguishing characteristic of multiple Maeli Goren productions: the use of puppetry to explore an undercurrent of manipulation. In The Children’s Hour (which Goren directed for PST last year), an angry student manipulates the emotions and mores of the adults in her life, while in A Midsummer Night’s Dream the machinations of the fairies — especially Puck — affect the lives of the Athenians. All of the cast members are talented, and deliver their lines with conviction. But in

places (particularly the latter half) there tends to be a sameness of vocal inflection and volume. Added nuance would ensure that all of the characters speak with a disparate voice, aiding the audience in distinguishing them. This is essential in a show in which actors play dual, even triple roles. However, there are some entertaining performances here. Allison Spann has boundless energy as Puck, the mischievous prankster and slightly dangerous spirit whose mistake (smearing a love potion on the eyelids of the wrong character) sets much of the plot in motion. Spann prances around the stage, giving the audience a merry wink that lets them in on the tricks that Puck plays on the other characters. The production also makes use of Spann’s considerable talents as a musician. Onstage she plays accordion; behind the scenes she is the composer of the otherworldly incidental music — which, along with Naveen Bhatia’s sound design, creates an artfully disorienting effect. Chamari White-Mink is exuberant as the arrogant Nick Bottom. Michael Rosas as Oberon, King of Fairies, and Thesus; and Maeve Brady as Hippolyta and Titania, bring the note of strong authority required by their roles. Dylan Blau Edelstein’s placid performance as Helena, the unassuming young woman who is in love with Deme-

trius, provides the needed contrast to the brashness of some of the other characters. Rosas and Edelstein also portray, respectively, the Mechanicals Snout and Flute. Ross Barron succeeds in his dual roles of Demetrius, who is engaged to Helena but in love with Hermia; and Peter Quince, a carpenter who also is the author of Pyramus and Thisbe. Regan McCall is impassioned as Hermia, who is courted by Demetrius but in love with Lysander; she also portrays Snug, one of the Mechanicals. Justin Ramos ably finesses his dual roles of Lysander, who is Hermia’s suitor, and Starveling, another Mechanical. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is intricate, as it consists of multiple, interconnecting plots. Audience members unfamiliar with the play are encouraged to consult one of numerous resources (including Bardweb.net or Wikipedia) for a synopsis prior to seeing the production, because the action can be a bit difficult to follow. However, disorientation is integral to this play. As Puck observes in his final speech, “You have but slumber’d here while these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream.” What emerges is an engaging, surreal pageant, in which the actors, real and fictitious, revel in performing. —Donald H. Sanborn III

Two-time Academy Award nominee Mary McDonnell will star in Gloria: A Life at McCarter Theatre September 6 to October 6. The play about Gloria Steinem, which opens McCarter’s 2019-20 theater season, is produced in association with American Repertory Theater at Harvard University. The play premiered earlier this year with an off-Broadway run produced by Daryl Roth.

Making her McCarter debut, McDonnell has been in numerous films and television shows. including Dances with Wolves, Passion Fish, Independence Day, Major Crimes, Battlestar Galactica, ER, and Hulu’s Veronica Mars. Her stage career has included many projects with Emily Mann including Mann’s Still Life, and the Broadway production of Execution of Justice. “Gloria: A Life explores how we move forward together as a community,” said Mann. “We have gathered an amazing cast for this production, including my dear friend and collaborator, the legendary actress, Mary McDonnell. Her take on Gloria Steinem will be nothing short of a revelation for McCarter audiences. I cannot wait to be back in a rehearsal room with her.” Steinem first raised her voice five decades ago, championing equality for all. Today, her vision is more urgent than ever. The first act is Gloria’s story; the second is our own, as a “talking circle” emerges and the audience joins in conversation to share personal experiences. McCarter’s Berlind Theatre will be transformed into a unique in-the-round for the production. Visit mccarter.org for details and tickets.

After Circuitous Road Through Pro Baseball, PU Alum Hale Finding Home with Yankees

avid Hale expected there would be some travel in his baseball career, but he could never had imagined the extent of it. The Princeton University graduate has been around the world for baseball. “It’s all more than I would have expected,” said Hale, who went on to graduate from Princeton in 2011 after being drafted in 2009. “It was always a dream. I think that’s why I chose Princeton. I had the ability to go there and they were looking at me. Going to that school gave me a plan. Baseball was a back-up plan. I know how fast baseball can end so I didn’t want to pigeonhole myself to just be a baseball player. I’m glad I got my degree from Princeton. It’s something I hope to use someday.” Hale finished 2018 playing in Korea, one of four stops in an up and down professional year. This year, he has again been overseas, but it was for a series with the New York Yankees in London in late June. “If I go year-by-year, I can tell you where I was,” said Hale. “It takes some thought. Particularly last year, I was all over.” Last year’s travels coupled with being a 31-year-old with an inconsistent history in the majors had raised some questions about where Hale would be this year, but he never doubted himself. He accepted the Yankees’ minor league contract with incentives if he made the big league club, and impressed from the outset with a good spring training that has carried into what has turned into a solid major league season, emerging as a key middle reliever for the club. “I’ve always felt confident I could,” said the 6’2, 210-pound Hale. “I proved it last year. It’s more so them needing a spot and the velo (velocity) increase (up to 9395 mph) turned a few heads. They were asking me what happened, and what’d they feed you in Korea. Once my velo held for all of spring training, I thought this might be a special year.” Through July 29, Hale was 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA in 19 games for the Yankees. He had struck out 22 while walking just six batters in 37.1 innings. He also has one hold and has picked up his first two career saves. “I’m definitely happy with the way it’s been going. Last year was a very different season being up four times, being sent down four times because of numbers and the situation they were in. It’s nice to be able to come in here and throw well and be able to stick.”

Hale went through plenty to prove he belonged in the major leagues after being drafted in 2009 in the wake of a solid, if not spectacular, career at Princeton. Hale pitched and played in the outfield for the Tigers. Hale, though, wasn’t Mike Ford, the former Princeton player who joined him on the Yankees this year and was the Ivy League Pitcher of the Year and Player of the Year in 2013 while balancing pitching and playing the field. “I was never anything,” joked Hale. “I never won a championship, I never got any of those accolades either. I guess it’s turned out all right.” Going into his junior year, Hale was ranked the top prospect in the Ivy League by Baseball America going, but the Marietta, Ga. product never earned All-Ivy acclaim. Hale’s hometown Atlanta Braves believed enough in him to take him in the third round of the draft, higher at the time than all but two previous Princeton selections. Getting to the majors was a climb, not a leap, for Hale. He moved up one level each year until he debuted for the Braves in 2013 in glowing fashion with a franchise record nine strikeouts for a major-league debut. He finished the year on a high with an appearance in the National League Division Series. The next year, he was up for good with Atlanta and enjoyed his most successful season with a 4-5 record and 3.30 ERA in 45 appearances in 2014. He was traded to Colorado and spent 2015 and 2016 in the Rockies organization, where he was 5-5 with a 6.09 ERA in 12 starts and a total of 17 appearances his first year. He appeared in just two major league games in 2016. He wound up in the Baltimore organization and played in the minors for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017 before getting moved back and forth between the Yankees, Twins and their AAA clubs before finally settling in Korea last year. Hale kept notes on approximately 25 things that were different about Korea, and that was just the baseball side of it. “It was a really good experience,” said Hale. “It was interesting.” When the 2018 season ended, Hale wasn’t sure where he would end up. “Every bit of it was a question mark,” said Hale. “I was coming back from Korea, and I didn’t know if Korea was going to renew my contract and ask me to come back. I didn’t know honestly which team I’d be with if they didn’t.

Wells Tree & Landscape, Inc 609-430-1195 Wellstree.com

When they did not (renew his contract), I started looking around the U.S. teams and the Yankees said we’d want you back if you’re willing to come back. I knew they liked me and I liked the fit here. I felt comfortable. It’s the first time in four years I’ve actually gone back to the same team, so I think the comfort level also helped me do what I’ve done this year.” Hale has been steady and reliable for New York. He fits in usually as a middle reliever, but he has closed games and from prior experience knows that he could start a game in a pinch. “Traditionally I’ve always been a starter,” said Hale. “The only time I’ve relieved has been in the big leagues in 2014 with the Braves most of the season and last year and this year. I’ve been in a few more high level situations than I’m used to. I’m glad they’ve gone well and I’ve been able to pull through in those situations.” Being successful has come with Hale adjusting his mindset to the pressures that come with being a reliever. The mental side of it is bigger than the physical differences from starting. “It’s definitely a different animal,” said Hale. “Starting is very planned and routine. You throw every five days, you know exactly when you’re going to throw and the adrenaline builds in the last few days. Relief, I’m down there stretching as soon as the starter gets in trouble or gets toward his pitch count. I might stretch for six innings because the way our offense can hit they could take a six-run lead or put me in a situation where it’s my game at any moment. It’s quicker adrenaline. As soon as that phone rings, it could be you, and your heart drops and your heart

BRONX TALE: Former Princeton University standout David Hale fires a pitch in recent action for the New York Yankees.

It’s a different mentality and thinking for sure.” While Hale has been up in the majors before, he has not been this effective since his 2014 stint. His arsenal is better than ever with a good sinker and a fastball hitting 93-95 miles per hour after being around 92 for years. “I really have no idea why,” said Hale. “The best thing I can attribute it to is dad strength now that I have a little baby. Also my sinker is back that I had in 2014. It’s what got me up in ’13 and what helped me have a successful ’14. And then in ’15 and ’16 I kind of lost it with the Rockies. That was my bread and butter. It’s what I relied on. When I was

behind in the count, I felt confident in throwing. And finally that’s back. That’s the biggest attribute.” Hale can’t fully explain even how his sinker came back so well. It’s helped give him an out pitch when he’s needed it and been something he can rely on at all times. “It’s amazing how stuff like that happens,” said Hale. “You pick up the ball one year and it feels good. I’ve messed with some different grips, and I think that also helps. I’ve talked to (Adam) Ottavino. He’s big into slomo cameras. He’s got a whole set-up at his home where he watches different stuff. He throws a sinker too

and he gave me a few pointers too. It’s little things here and there.” Better yet, Hale’s success has helped the Yankees get off to a terrific start as New York was 67-38 and led the American League East by 8.5 games as of July 29. “It’s so much fun to play for a team that wins,” said Hale. “After 162 games in a year, by the end of the year it gets kind of draining. By July, August, September, if you know you’re in the hunt for the playoffs, it keeps the energy up. Playing on a bad team can really be draining. It’s pretty cool to be on a team that’s this special.” —Justin Feil

For Morgan Linsley, suffering a knee injury put her on the path to competing in rowing on the world stage. After being involved in competitive swimming for nine years, Linsley hurt her knee in eighth grade and was forced to take a hiatus from the pool. When she recovered, Linsley realized that she needed to find a new athletic outlet as she entered her freshman year at Princeton High in 2015. “I saw that I had lost a lot of my swimming ability since I had to take a whole year off,” said Linsley. “I wanted to try a new sport. My knee doctor was the wife of the Princeton men’s crew coach [Greg Hughes] and she said I could be a good rower so give it a shot.” Giving rowing a shot, Linsley headed over to Mercer Lake to join the Princeton National Rowing Association Mercer Junior Rowing (PNRAMercer) club. “It is so different from every other sport and motion, rowing is so different from everything,” said Linsley. “It was so hard to shift over. I had trained hard when I was a swimmer, but not to the level that was expected of me when I started rowing.” Linsley developed into a high-level rower at Mercer, moving up to the second varsity eight as a sophomore and then helping the top women’s eight take fourth this spring at the USRowing Youth National Championships. Last summer, she competed for the U.S. junior program at the CanAmMexico regatta. In June, the recent PHS grad was named to the U.S. U-19 team and will compete next week at the 2019 World Rowing Junior Championships in Tokyo, Japan. Reflecting on her rise to the international rowing arena, Linsley credits her Mercer experience with laying the foundation for her progress. “Rowing on Mercer was probably the greatest decision I have made, coach Matthew

Carlsen taught me everything; I would not have made this junior national team if it wasn’t for him,” said Linsley, who has committed to attend Duke University and row for its women’s program. “He instilled such an idea of a work ethic. Practice is your priority when you are at the boathouse, you are focusing just on rowing. You want to get to that next level and do everything you physically can to get your boat forward.” Getting to the chance to compete for the U.S program last summer was another big step for Linsley. “I got to go race in Mexico, which was a really great experience,” said Linsley. “It sets you up for junior worlds, which is why I came back this year.” Making the U.S. U19 team this year didn’t come easy for Linsley. “First, you go to a one day ID (identification) camp, where you do a 2-k on the ERG (ergometer) and then you go on the water and the coaches watch you and assess your abilities,” said Linsley. “From there, you get an invitation to the Selection Camp. The camp was held in Connecticut and we rowed out of the Coast Guard Academy boathouse. We rowed there for three weeks. We would do ERG pieces, we would do a lot of rowing pieces. In those three weeks, they decide who the team is going to be.” For Linsley, finding out that she had been selected for the team was a special moment. “It was amazing, knowing that all of the hard work and everything I have put into the past four years actually was worth it,” said Linsley. “Being able to call my college coaches and tell them that I made it and being able to tell my family and my coaches at Mercer was the best moment that I have had in my life so far.” Currently, Linsley is putting in a lot of time on Lake Carnegie as the U.S. squad is going through its final preparations.

“It is generally two-a-day practices, somewhere between three and four hours,” said Linsley, noting that the rowers are staying at the Marriott hotel next to Princeton MarketFair and run from the hotel to the boathouse for their morning practice. “We stretch, warm up, and go on the water for many hours. Our coaches put extra water bottles in ice coolers to keep them on their launches and they throw them to us. We run out of water because they keep us out there for quite a while. We go home for a couple of hours between practices and then head back. It is two three-hour sessions, that includes meeting with our coaches. We also have some weight training. They are trying to make us into the fastest athletes in the world in our age group as fast as they can.” That intensive training has been yielding dividends for Linsley. “I think that my technique has improved a lot; all you think about is rowing everything we do is just about rowing all day, every day,” said Linsley, who has been rowing for the women’s four with coxswain for the team. “It is just a level I couldn’t do at high school. I don’t think I have improved this quickly before. It is really amazing to see that everyone is improving.” Looking ahead to the competition in Tokyo, which is slated for August 7-11, Linsley and her teammates hope that improvement results in many trips to the podium. “Our team goal is to medal in every event,” said Linsley.

Turning to Rowing after Suffering Knee Injury, PHS Grad Linsley Heading to Junior Worlds

PULLING AHEAD: Morgan Linsley, center, competes for the U.S. U-19 women’s four in recent action. Recent Princeton High grad and Duke University commit Linsley is heading to Tokyo next week to row for the U.S. in 2019 World Rowing Junior Championships in Tokyo, Japan. “They medaled in every event last year and our coaches want us to do that or better.” No matter how many medals the U.S. earns in Tokyo, Linsley sees her summer with the national program as ideal preparation for her college career. “I think it is going to set me up really, really well to be able to train like this, it is what training at Duke is going to be like with two-a-day practices,” said Linsley, noting that the Blue Devils sometimes have back-to-back practices in the morning where they are on the water towing and then return to campus for a lifting or

ERG session right after. “This rigorous training is going to prepare me to go swinging into my fall season.” Buoyed by her club and national success, Linsley is looking to help Duke become a powerhouse in the Atlantic Coast Conference. “I just want to help them win ACCs, I didn’t know what boat I am going to end up on,” said Linsley.

“This year was the closest they have ever come to winning. They were only five points off of Virginia, which was a huge step for Duke. It is a building rowing team while UVa has always been a top dog. They won their first gold medal at ACCs and I want to go in there and help them win more. We want to be the first Duke team to win the ACC.” —Bill Alden

Ending Mercer Rowing Career on a High Note, Stuart’s Huber Takes Silver at Youth Nationals In her junior season with Princeton National Rowing Association Mercer Junior Rowing (PNRA-Mercer) in 2018, Annie Huber wasn’t expecting to guide her Men’s Four to a medal at the USRow i n g You t h Nat i on a l Championships. “I don’t think I understood how good we were; I knew that the boys on my boat were fast and that we rowed well together,” said coxswain Huber, who helped the crew place third and earn bronze. “I was thinking maybe we could make the A final.” Losing three rowers from that boat, Huber wasn’t sure if this year’s four could make a big run at nationals. “We were really worried because we had massive change from the four last year,” said Huber, a recent Stuart Country Day School grad who is heading to Georgetown University where she will be competing for its men’s rowing program. “We went back and listened to the videos from the race and the announcer said the defining quality for the Mercer 4 was that they were physically imposing and intimidating. This year we had a boat that averaged 20 pounds less.” The undersized crew pulled off another surprise, taking second at this year’s youth nationals last month in Sarasota, Fla. “We all had this goal, this looming presence from last year with the four medaling,” said Huber.

“If you are in the top four, you have to be serious, you have to buckle down. We still absolutely had our moments where it was very fun in training but ever yone was definitely motivated. It wasn’t pushing people to be at the top level of competition, it was re-instilling faith when something bad would happen, like when we have a practice that wasn’t the best. They needed to be reminded that one practice wasn’t everything. Everyone has bad practices, Olympic teams have bad practices.” It didn’t take Huber long develop faith in herself as she learned the ropes of being a coxswain when she joined the Mercer program during her freshman year at Stuart “I think the toughest thing was just learning how to steer, especially with docking,” said Huber, noting that she came to Mercer camp in the summer after 8th grade planning to be a rower but ended up as a coxswain when there was a shortage of people to steer boats. “Everyone sees you dock and you never want to be the one coxswain who runs into something. I liked it a lot from the start. Always my biggest worry was that, I wasn’t learning enough, quickly enough. I would write everything my coaches ever said down and read it back to myself.” Huber moved over to the boys’ program early on to increase her learning curve. “When I was a novice, I was

on the girls’ team for a few days and they basically said does anyone want to cox for the guys,” recalled Huber. “My first question was am I going to be on the water more and they said yes and I said then I will do it. I got the hang of what I was doing and I would say ‘you guys are going to listen to me because I am here to help you.’” For this year’s four, listening to varsity boys’ head coach Jamie Hamp, a former Princeton University rowing star, on the eve of the grand final at nationals helped the crew stay focused. “The night before the finals, our coach came in and said ‘I know you guys can do this,’” said Huber. “‘You have the training, you have the fitness. You guys need to know that you just need to execute,’ basically was the gist of it. The fact that he was putting his trust in us was very calming, almost like a little bit of security.” Surveying the competition at the start of the final, Huber felt some nerves. “I am sitting in line with all of the coxswains at the beginning and you look across and it is we are going to have to take this one step at a time,” said Huber, noting that the field included such powerhouses as Saratoga (N.Y.), Belmont Hill (Mass.), and defending champion Deerfield (Mass.). “All boats are competitive at this point. Since we are small, the entire season, we

The boat included Brady Stergion (Notre Dame High), Jack Gallagher (Council Rock North), and juniors Leon Deng (Princeton High) and Grant Smith (Montgomery High) in addition to coxswain Huber. have been learning how to race from behind. We knew that we needed a very solid base for the middle of the race. It was having faith in that training and when we got there our base fitness would compensate for a less than perfect start.” The Mercer boat produced an incredible finish, posting a time of 6:21.15 over the 2,000-meter course, less than three tenths of a second behind first place Saratoga, who came in at 6:20.86. “What was amazing was that it didn’t fail technically in the last 250 meters, where it was coming down to those 3/10ths of a second,” recalled Huber. “There was still a level of composure. Everyone was absolutely committed and put-

ting that energy and nervousness into rowing, rather than letting it stay in their head.” Making to commitment to PNRA/Mercer proved to be a great move for Huber. “Racing at Mercer is definitely one of the best choices I ever made,” said Huber, who is coaching this summer for PNRA/Mercer and coxing in its U23 program and will be competing in the Canadian Henley regatta in early August. “I missed graduation to go to nationals, another kid in my boat did as well. It was absolutely worth it.” As she looks forward to matriculating to Georgetown this fall, Huber is primed for another worthwhile rowing experience. “It is just, show up for ori-

entation and a week after that is when we start going to practice, which is nice because it gives us a little time to adjust,” said Huber. “I would really hope to go to IRAs (the Intercollegiate Rowing Association national championship regatta) by the time I am a senior.” —Bill Alden

Zahrion Blue is saving his best for last as he stars for the Loyaltees squad in the Princeton Recreation Depar tment Men’s Summer Basketball League. Former Princeton High star and current Lincoln University standout Blue poured in 35 points as top-seeded and defending champion Loyaltees defeated second-seeded defeated eighth-seeded Team NRGY 83-62 in a playoff quarterfinal contest last Wednesday. Two days later, Blue tallied 19 points to help Loyaltees overcome a 40-30 second half deficit against fifthseeded Sakana and pull out a 52-50 win in the semis. Last Monday in game one of the best-of-three championship series against second-seeded NJ Spiritwear, a rematch of the 2018 title

matchup, Blue came out firing at the Community Park courts. H it t i ng s e ver a l t h re e pointers and swooping inside for a some thunderous dunks, Blue tallied 20 points as Loyaltees jumped out to a 52-18 halftime lead over an undermanned Spiritwear team, which was missing key players, Tyler Jones and Joe Moore, due to injury. Loyaltees never looked back on the way to an 8845 triumph. Blue ended the evening with a game-high 29 points. In reflecting on the rout which saw Vince Anfield contribute 20 points in the w in, Blue acknowledged that Loyaltees would have preferred to be facing a fullstrength Spiritwear team. “It is a rivalry,” said Blue. “It was pretty disappointing.

I was coming out here looking for a competitive game but I could see it wasn’t going to happen.” Blue has been looking to raise his game for the postseason. “I just come here to play and have fun,” said Blue. “You have fun when you score. I am in playoff mode, that’s all.” For Blue, playing in the summer league is good prep for his sophomore season for the Lincoln University men’s hoops team, a Division II program which plays in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). “I am getting ready to go back to school,” said the 6’3, 186-pound guard Blue, who averaged 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds a game with seven double-doubles last winter in his freshman campaign for the Lions, making the CIAA All-Rookie Team. “It is just playing against stronger and older people.” In reflecting on the success of Loyaltees, which improved to 10-1 with the win over Spiritwear, Blue likes the team’s mix of talent and camaraderie. “We just have a lot of pieces, everyone is a part of puzzle,” said Blue. “We have good chemistry. Everybody is unselfish.” Heading into game two of the championship series on Wednesday evening with a chance to clinch a title repeat, Blue and his teammates will be focused on producing one last good performance this summer. “We are hoping for a more competitive game but with our team, we just play,” said Blue. “For however long this team is together, we want to win championships.” —Bill Alden

Babe Ruth 14s Showed Competitive Spirit, Advancing to Mid-Atlantic Regional Quarters Even t hough t he West Windsor- Plainsboro 14U all-star team had already clinched a spot in the quarterfinals of the Babe Ruth Middle Atlantic Regional, it kept scrapping as it faced SORENSCO ( Southern Rensselaer County, N.Y.) in a pool play game last Wednesday night. WW-P yielded two runs in the top of the first inning in the contest played at Switlik Park in Hamilton but answered back quickly as Jude Blaser knocked in a run in the bottom of the frame. Jack Durbin added an RBI in the bottom of the third to knot the game at 2-2. After SORENSCO broke the deadlock with two runs in the the top of the fourth, Kenny Schiavone blasted a homer over the left field wall in the bottom of the sixth to narrow the gap to 4-3. SORENSCO tallied two runs in the top of the seventh but WW-P made one last gasp as James Tao led off the bottom of the inning with a single but was stranded as the game ended in a

6-3 win for the New York squad. WW-P manager Andrew Liggio was proud of the way his club battled to the end in a contest that ended around 11:15 p.m. “We were in the state tournament before and we knew we were moving on and had another game to play and we were really flat so it was a great response here,” said Liggio, whose squad includes eight players from Princeton and four from Cranbury. “We knew were moving on out of pool play and they fought like hell against a very good team.” The squad played some good ball against SORENSCO but couldn’t string hits together in big spots. “Our two best attributes are defense and contact hitting,” said Liggio. “We don’t hit many balls out of the park, we happened to today with Kenny. We usually put a lot more singles and doubles in play and I think that is the only

thing that failed us tonight The defense was there.” Liggio credited Dan Harlan, Blaser and Peter Hare with holding the fort on the mound. “We held back our front line pitchers to get ready for the quarterfinals,” said Liggio. “It was a great job for some of those other boys to step up and eat an inning here or eat an inning there.” W hile W W-P ended up falling 8-2 to Atlantic West ( N.J.) in the quarters on Thursday to see its tournament run come to an end, Liggio was proud of what his group had accomplished in getting that far. “We have exceeded what our initial thoughts were, but we are getting better each game, so we keep raising our own goals,” said Liggio. “They are playing well together; they are playing for each other, which is the best thing. They have come together so quickly as a team. The boys have been great and the ride has been excellent.” —Bill Alden

Gregory L. Staats Gregor y L. Staats, 71, of Princeton Junction, NJ, p a s s e d aw ay u n e x p e c tedly on July 23rd at Penn

Medicine Princeton Medical Center in Plainsboro, NJ. Born in Somerville, NJ, on August 1, 1948, he grew up in Princeton, going to Valley Road School and Princeton High. He did a one year tour in Vietnam while in the Army. He attended Mercer County Community College, and graduated from Stockton College with a degree in Special Education. Son of the late Vincent and Audrey Staats; predeceased by his oldest brother Vincent; survived by his youngest brother James Staats and his wife Josephine Ferraro residing at 938 Terrace Blvd, Ewing, NJ 08618; sister-in-law Sarah Staats; his life partner Elaine Staats and her two nieces, Vanessa Campbell and Jennifer Gregg; three nephews, Adam Staats and his wife Jessica Trombetta of NJ, Jonathan Staats of SC, Stephen Staats of WV; and a niece, Jessica Muller of NC.

It shouldn’t be news to people that lightning can and does strike, damage and destroy trees. Many of us have probably seen some of the physical damage, caused by lightning, including broken limbs, splitopen trunks, stripped bark, and even trees blown apart. The danger is not alone to the tree. Persons or animals seeking shelter, as well as homes and buildings under or near a large tree, are always in danger. However, most people are not aware that trees can be protected from lightning until after they have been damaged or destroyed. Trees are attractive lightning targets because they provide a better conducting path than air.

Lightning protection systems work by neutralizing opposing cloud and ground charges well above the tree so that it is never struck. This protects your home and family as well. Several factors go into assessing the potential risk of an individual tree being struck. With the prevalence of summer storms, the risk of lightning strikes increases significantly. Call

WOODWINDS (609) 924-3500 or email treecare@woodwinds.biz to schedule a no-obligation summer assessment.

What all these areas have in common is the benefit of many skylights and clerestory windows inviting in sunshine and blue-sky views. “Real estate has been the perfect profession for me, a lifelong Princetonian with a love of architecture and people.

HIRING A MOVING COMPANY There are so many things to think about when moving, it’s easy to forget about the crucial step of finding the right moving company. Here are some tips to assist you through the process: 1. 2.

3. 4.

Start by looking at online reviews. The Better Business Bureau (bbb.org) and American Moving and Storage Association (moving.org) are two good resources. There is nothing quite as valuable as other people’s experiences. Get recommendations from friends and family; these are people you know who will share the good AND the bad. Be sure to ask them questions like, “Was the estimate accurate? Did anything break or go missing? Were your belongings delivered on time?” Interview several moving companies online, via email or over the phone to get preliminary quotes. Take time to weigh the pros and cons of each before proceeding. Be sure any moving company you are considering is licensed and insured.

Once you have done your initial screening, invite 2-3 companies into your home so that they can see your home’s contents and provide you with a written estimate (the estimates are generally based on the weight of your items and distance of your move.)

This stunning house is the lucky recipient of masterful and sophisticated renovations. Professionally landscaped and beautifully maintained, the grounds are breathtaking, with the house itself set at the top of a slight knoll. Backing to protected land, the setting is tranquil and private, being on a cul-de-sac and having nearly 2 acres, some of which have an invisible dog fence. Close to parks (dog and human), equestrian center, and shopping, the location is ideal. The lovely pale yellow exterior was painted recently, and the stone walkways, stairs, and patio are new, as is the special wood deck off the kitchen, complete with lighting system. As you enter the house, you will be impressed with the elegant chandelier in the 2 storey foyer, which, by the way, has an electric winch system that raises and lowers it with ease. Gleaming hardwood floors receive natural light from the front door sidelight windows, transom, and large window above the door. Two entry closets flank the door. Behold the spectacular kitchen, complete with every bell and whistle! If you don’t cook now, this will turn you into a real chef, with its new Miele dishwasher, and quality, honed Carrera marble on both islands, as well as all counter-tops. Polished marble subway-tile and rough-tumbled marble blocks are found on all backsplashes. Custom cabinetry has shelving, sliding drawers, and specialized storage. Never again wonder where you will store your spices, pots and pans, or platters! Two over-sized ovens, 6 burner stove with GE monogram gas cook top, and burner grids that flip over for wok cooking! The Thermidor large-capacity refrigerator, wine refrigerator, instant hot water, and concealed exhaust system are just a few of the superb accoutrements found in this kitchen. The custom features continue! On this level is found an au pair suite, a wonderful breakfast room which opens to the deck, formal dining room, delightful living room, and family room, each with fireplace and wall of windows. Truly one of a kind, you won’t believe the quality, care, and thought that went into this remodeling. Upstairs, a cool second family room creates the perfect get-a-way. The main bedroom, en suite, of course, is quite large, with windows overlooking the deck and backyard. There are three additional bedrooms. Spacious basement, currently a work-out area, has plenty of room for whatever your heart desires. Truly, this is a house where memories are made, and it is waiting for you to create your own. All this, and the wonderful Hopewell schools. $829,900
