Council Votes in Favor Of Biodigester Donation to Restart Organics Program Princeton Council approved a resolution at its Monday meeting to accept the donation of a biodigester from MetLife Stadium, in order to reactivate the town’s curbside organics program, which halted early this year. While the biodigester is being given to the town, it will cost some $20,000 to move it and repair rust and dents. During the public comment portion of the meeting, several residents spoke in favor of the purchase, while others said more information is needed before a decision is made. But MetLife made it clear that a decision was needed right away if the donation was to take place, said Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield. The vote, following statements from Council members as well as the public, was 4-1 in favor. Councilwoman Eve Niedergang, who acknowledged she was “raining on everyone’s parade,” cast the negative vote. “It’s just so much more complicated than it seemed to me originally,” said Niedergang, who spent time at Princeton University’s biodigester, asking questions about its operation and maintenance. She was told that running the biodigester, which would be sited at a farm as yet unnamed, would require a full-time job. Niedergang said she had concerns about who would own the biodigester, runoff it might cause, and other potential issues. A biodigester digests organic material biologically. The connection with MetLife was made by local architect Joshua Zinder, who spoke in favor of the project. “This is about changing lives for the future,” he said. “This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity, and I encourage Princeton to move forward.” According to Dashield, there are three options for running the biodigester. It could be a public/private partnership, a private operation, or a public operation. In the latter, the municipality would haul the organic waste to a farm where the biodigester would be located, and do the processing. That option would cost about $316,000 a year, which is approximately $50,000 less than the cost of the program before it was discontinued due to problems with the private hauler. Some 900 families were members of the former program, paying $65 a year to Continued on Page 9

Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison Dies at 88 Toni Morrison, a world-renowned writer and Nobel laureate with strong ties to Princeton, died the evening of Monday, August 5 at New York City’s Montefiore Medical Center. Morrison was the Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities, Emeritus, at Princeton University. According to an article on the University’s website, she joined the faculty in 1989 and was a member of the creative writing program until transferring to emeritus status in 2006. The website published a statement from Morrison’s family. “It is with profound sadness we share that, following a short illness, our adored mother and grandmother, Toni Morrison, passed away peacefully last night surrounded by family and friends,” the statement said. “She was an extremely devoted mother, grandmother, and aunt who reveled in being with her family and friends. The consummate writer who treasured the written word, whether her own, her students, or others, she read voraciously and was most at home when writing. Although her passing represents

a tremendous loss, we are grateful she had a long, well-lived life.” Morrison’s first novel, The Bluest Eye, was published when she was 40. That, and others she wrote, have been translated into at least 20 languages. After The Bluest Eye in 1970, Morrison wrote Sula (1973), Song of Solomon (1977), Tar Baby (1981), Beloved (1987), Jazz (1992), Paradise (1997), Love (2003), A Mercy (2008), Home (2012), and God Help the Child (2015). Her latest book,

The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations, was published early this year. In addition to the Nobel Prize, Morrison won a Pulitzer Prize for Beloved in 1988 and a National Book Critics Circle Award for Song of Solomon in 1978. In May 2019, she received the gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She was awarded the American Continued on Page 10

Nakashima Speaks at Hinds Plaza Rally Commemorating Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Monday evening’s commemoration of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki took on a broad, timely message as speakers addressed immigrant detention at the U.S. southern border; recent U.S. shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas; and nuclear crises between the U.S. and Iran and North Korea. The event on Hinds Plaza, sponsored by the Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA),

began with the peaceful strains of the shakuhachi, a Japanese flute played by Glenn Swann, and ended in candlelight. A minute of silence was observed at 7:15 p.m., which corresponded to 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima (the Nagasaki bomb was dropped August 9). “Unfortunately, there is no guarantee Continued on Page 8

T h e i n t i m a te e x h i b i t , which runs through September 1, is part of a commemoration that includes t he show ing of t he film Woodstock on the 50th anniversary of its opening day, August 15, at 6 p.m. in the Community Room of the library. The three-hour film is presented in partnership with the Princeton Garden Theatre and Princeton Record Exchange. Another event, a Woods tock 50 t h A n n ivers ar y Tribute Concert featuring local bands and singers from the Einstein Alley Musician’s Collaborative, will be held on August 17, at 5 p.m. at the Community Park North Amphitheater. Lawn chairs and picnic dinners are welcome. The event is co-sponsored by the library, Princeton Record Exchange, the Princeton Recreation Department, and the Einstein Alley Musician’s Collaborative. In case of rain, the concert will be moved into the librar y’s Community Room. Viewing the display, 50 years ago at once seems like yesterday, and also distant, as teens seek guidance on using the record player. The library is adding a book on Woodstock, and a jigsaw puzzle for visitors to work on. Janie Hermann, library adult programming manager, explained that the exhibit origins were serendipitous. She and Susan Conlon, the head of youth services, realized that this summer would see significant event anniversaries (the library also held events commemorating the July 20,

1969 Apollo 11 moon landing). They had screened the film Woodstock for its 40th anniversary and wanted to do that again. “From there, things just took off,” Hermann said. They set up a listening station with the Woodstock v inyl record albu m and several other albums from Wo o d s to c k p e r for m e r s. Then, Levine offered her photos. “It was a happy coincidence,” said Hermann. Levine, a retired teacher living in Princeton, was a 19-year-old student at Harpur College (at Binghamton University, State University of New York), home in Long Island for the summer when

she heard about Woodstock and decided to attend. An avid rock music fan, she knew “that was the place to be.” Her father, who was an amateur photographer, had taught her darkroom skills, and she always had a camera with her. Looking at her photos brought it all back for her – the 400,000 people and also the community spirit. “What I tried to do with the photos was piece together my experience,” said Levine. She recalled that The Hog Farm collective was giving out food, and remembered that she slept in a tent. “A stranger offered me a space in a tent. I felt lucky to have a place to sleep since it was rainy and wet outside,” she wrote in a small book that accompanies the exhibit. “I was alone but I felt comfortable and safe. I walked around taking pictures and listening to music.” She had gotten a ride from college friends who were going to the Monticello Race Track and dropped her off in Bethel, N.Y., where the concert was being held on a local farm. “We never experienced the traffic we heard about,” she said. “We took back roads in fact, and stopped for cows crossing the road.” Some of the photos depict a message board and message tree, with tacked-on paper notes. “Without cell phones, this is how people at the festival messaged each other,” she wrote. “For me, the importance of Woodstock was that not only were there so many talented musical performers and amazing performances occurring in one place, but it represented the best of the ‘hippie era’ and a time when a generation was united by music, peace, and love,” she said. Levine has donated her negat ives to t he B et hel Woods Center for the Arts, and last month recreated her journey in Bethel. “The message tree is still there,” she said. The people in Bethel “were very welcoming and excited about my photos and negatives and some other ’60s memorabilia that I donated,” she said, adding that the photos would be archived so that others would be able to see them. “I felt really happy about finding this great home for them.” But she also wanted to “do something locally.” “This is a big one,” she said of the 50th anniversary. “It was now or never. I would like people to see the photos. The Public Library is the best place.” Levine hopes viewers will see the photo collection as a documentary, informing them as seeing the photos again triggered her own memory. “What I like,” said the library’s Hermann about the exhibit and upcoming movie and tribute concert, “is that the community is getting together. We are sharing photos, and musicians are donating their time. We are joining together in the same spirit.” —Wendy Greenberg

Question of the Week:

“What is your favorite part of the fair?” (Asked Sunday at the Mercer County 4-H Fair at Howell Living History Farm) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

Jazmine: “Pony rides.” Jalisa: “The ponies.” Kylie: “I am very excited for the pony rides, too.” —Jazmine and Jalisa Moore with Kylie Zimpleman, all of Hamilton

Liya: “I love everything here. It is a great place to relax.” Alexander: “Blacksmithing, because I have been doing it for almost 50 years in Trenton, and sheep, because I used to have a sheep farm in West Amwell. I am right at home here.” —Liya and Alexander Parubchenko, Trenton

Edie: “My favorite part is trying local products. I’ve tried some delicious local honey and ice cream so far.” Lila: “I love seeing all of the different animals, and the bunnies have been my favorites.” Mathilda: “My favorite part is watching the animal shows.” —Edie and Lila Perssel with Mathilda Ramos-Williams, all of Pennington

Doris: “Watching the children perform with their animals is my favorite part. It is very unpredictable how the animals might behave, so they do their darndest to do their best and they get judged on a lot of different things like knowledge of their animals and their showmanship.” Ed: “My favorite part is seeing my granddaughter here. She’s 17 years old and has been in the fair for several years.” Elaine: “I like the whole fair. Every section is very interesting, and I especially like looking at how the animals are taken care of and how they are presented to the judges during the contests.” —Doris and Ed Boothe, Plumstead with Elaine Wills, Groveville

t h i s w i l l n e v e r h ap p e n again,” said CFPA Assistant Director Niki VanAller. The grassroots group calls for abolishing nuclear weapons, encouraging a peace economy, and halting weapons trafficking through changing public policy and education. “I think the event did a really good job of relating the past to the present and interconnected forms of violence,” VanAller said Tuesday. “The goal is not to say whether the bombings were right or wrong, but to remember the devastation was horrific, and today we have more powerful weapons so we have to prevent that from happening again.” Robert Goldston, a professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University and former director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, offered an update of the nuclear crises in Iran and North Korea. Sp ea ker Dolores Ph il lips, leg islat ive director of CeaseFire New Jersey, which is under CFPA’s umbrella, noted that the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso were the 250th and 251st mass shootings in America in 2019. Members of the CFPA offered anti-war songs and music. It was the group’s 40th Hiroshima/Nagasaki C o m m e m or at i o n , w h i c h it has organized annually since 1980. Key note sp e a ker Mira Nakashima, daughter of renowned woodworker and furniture designer George Nakashima, and a celebrat-

ed artist herself, bridged the experience of Japanese internment camps of World War II and today’s conditions at the U.S. southern border. Nakashima was born in Seattle, Wash., but as a result of U.S. Executive Order 9066, in April 1942 was sent at six months old with her family to an internment c a mp for A m er i c a n s of Japanese descent. The Nakashimas ended up at Minidoka, a “relocation center” in Idaho where some 9,000 Japanese Americans were sent. Many of the young men from the camp were conscripted and served in the U.S. military under some of the most difficult conditions, she said. At the camp, her father was introduced to master carpenter G entaro Hikogawa, who was also incarcerated there, and who taught him to use hand tools and other techniques that would impact his artistry. “We still have bitterbrush (shrub) from the desert,” said Nakashima, a Harvard-trained architect. “My father used it as handles on early furniture.” Through a sponsor, the family came to New Hope, Pa., to work on a farm and settled in Bucks County, Pa., where Nakashima lives and carries on the woodworking tradition at the family studio. (George died in 1990). She described how her

father later made peace altars from walnut trees, first for St. John the Divine Cathedral in New York, and for locations in Moscow and India. “It was part of a dream where all nations and cultures could convene in peace,” she said. She is in search of more sites. Many Japanese Americans have joined to protest conditions now for today’s immigrants in camps, she noted. Nakashima shared prose written by psychotherapist Satsuki Ina, read at Fort Sill, Okla., this past June. Fort Sill, now a holding center for immigrant children, also held some 700 Japanese Americans during World War II. Looking back on the internment years, “at first I thought (the history) should be left alone, but the cry came, ‘Never Again.’ Our people did not rebel, but made the best of it,” said Nakashima. She said that they organized schools and baseball games. There were no fresh vegetables in the food rations, so they planted gardens. This did not diminish the psychological scars, she said. Coincidentally, she said she recently visited Minidoka, now a historic site, where she was asked to create a memorial, a mobile that has two clouds representing Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is installed at the new information center there. —Wendy Greenberg

a joint effort between the College of Education and Human Services and the College of Business Administration, which will teach the analytics courses. “They already have a successful analytics track in their MBA program, so it was an easy fit because those courses have already been developed,” Nolfi said. She added that the classes will be tweaked to include content and assignments specific to higher education. The goal of the program is to develop leaders who not only make informed decisions in the short term but also can predict future trends. Nolfi spearheaded the effort to create the new degree offering. She said the idea came from recognizing the increasing emphasis being placed on these skills by colleges and universities. “We currently have a higher education concentration within our organizational leadership program,” she said. “I had been wanting to add some more courses that have to do with assessment, accreditation and analytics because there’s been a shift in higher education that’s starting to focus on those areas.” Nolfi formed a team of faculty and staff to conduct a market study and further research the feasibility of such a program. “We realized there isn’t anything like this,” she said. “There are certificate programs, but not a degree program, and our research showed that there’s a big need to focus on the topics of analytics and datadriven decision making.” Contact Nolfi at tnolfi@rider. edu for more information.

Toni Morrison continued from page one

Academy of Arts and Scie n ce s E m er s on -T hore au Medal in 2016, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012, and the National Humanities Medal in 2000. France honored her with the Ordre National de la Légion d’honneur in 2010; and the Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1993. Morrison also wrote children’s books with her son Slade Morrison, who predeceased her. This summer, a documentary of her life, Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am, was released in theaters. At Princeton, Morrison taught courses in the humanities and African American studies. One of her courses led to her 1992 book of literary criticism, Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination, according to the University website. As a faculty member with the creative writing program, she advised such students as the now-published writers David Treuer, Ladee Hubbard, Kate Morgenroth, MacKenzie Tuttle, and Rachel Kadish. “Toni Morrison’s brilliant vision, inspired creativity, and unique voice have reshaped American culture and t he world ’s literar y tradition,” said University President Christopher L. Eisgruber, on the website. “Her mag nif icent works will continue to light a path forward for generations of readers and authors. She revised this University, too. Through her scholarly leadership in creative writing and African American stud-

ies, and through her mentorship of students and her innovative teaching, she has inscribed her name permanently and beautifully upon the tapestry of Princeton’s campus and history. We are fortunate that this marvelous writer made Princeton her home, and we will miss her dearly.” The University honored Morrison in 2017 by dedicating Morrison Hall, formerly known as West College. The building houses the Office of the Dean of the College and faces Cannon Green behind Nassau Hall. A portrait of her by Paul Wyse hangs inside. Morrison had key roles in numerous commemorative events at Princeton. In 1996, she gave the keynote address — “The Place of the Idea, The Idea of the Place” — as the University celebrated its 250th anniversary. In 2005, she was the baccalaureate speaker for the graduating class. “Of course I am a storyteller and therefore an optimist, a firm believer in the ethical bend of the human heart, a believer in the mind’s appetite for truth and its disgust with fraud,” she told them. “I’m a believer in the power of knowledge and the ferocity of beauty, so from my point of view your life is already artful — waiting, just waiting, for you to make it art.” In 2012, Mor r ison re turned to the campus to read from her new novel, Home. “Teaching is the second best thing to writing for me,” Morrison told a packed audience on that occasion, according to the website. “What a pleasure it is and how truly intellectu-

ally exciting it is to teach at Princeton.” Morrison spoke at the Princeton and Slavery Symposium in 2017. She described Lorain, Ohio, where she was born Chloe A. Wofford on February 18, 1931, as a mixed neighborhood where “everybody was dirt poor, that was what we had in common,” and where “we gardened because we ate it, not because it was a cute little thing to do.” While her older sister remembered racial slurs by some neighbors, Morrison said she did not. Rather, she first learned about race when she went to the historically black college Howard University in Washington, D.C., according to the website. Morrison’s arrival at Princeton helped to attract other faculty and students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to the University. She played a major role in expanding Princeton’s commitments both to the creative and performing arts and to African American studies. In 1994 she founded the Princeton Atelier, bringing together undergraduate students in interdisciplinary collaborations with acclaimed artists and performers such as Jacques d’Amboise, A.S. Byatt, Peter Sellars, Yo-Yo Ma, Richard Danielpour, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Gabriel Garcia Márquez, A nonymous 4, Richard Price, Pig Iron Theatre Company, Maria Tucci, and Allegro Kent, among others. She earned a B.S. in English at Howard University in 1953 and a M.A. in American literature at Cornell University in 1955. She was an

A Princeton physician who was struck at 10:30 a.m. on July 30 by a pickup truck while crossing Washington Road at Prospect Avenue has died as a result of his injuries. Dr. Michael Reiss passed away due to brain trauma, according to information from the McCafferty Funeral Home. He was 68. A report issued by the Princeton Police Department on Monday, August 5 said the Ford F350 pickup truck was operated by Antonio Pirone, 42, of Princeton. The truck was stopped facing west at the traffic light on Prospect Avenue at the intersection of Washington Road. When the light turned green, the vehicle proceeded to make a left turn onto Washington Road, going south. At that time, Pirone failed to see Reiss walking eastbound within the southern crosswalk on Washington Road. As a result, his front bumper struck Reiss, who was approximately halfway through the crosswalk. The impact, though at a low rate of speed, knocked him to the ground, causing him to

roll and strike the back of his head on the pavement. Reiss was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center for treatment, and later moved to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia. The police were notified on August 2 that Reiss had succumbed to his injuries. Pirone was issued a summons for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. The case is still under investigation. “Michael was a physician scientist who dedicated his career to his patients and to basic science research to understand and defeat cancer,” reads a posting on the McCafferty Funeral Home webpage. “He worked extensively in breast cancer and most recently was working on a breast cancer vaccine. “He was a dedicated husband, father, and Opa to his two beloved granddaughters. He is survived by his wife, two children, and his brother, who are completely heartbroken by this sudden loss. He will be greatly missed.” No service is planned. —Anne Levin

YMCA Receives Donation For New Basketball Court

T h e P r i n c e ton Fa m i ly YMCA will begin the construction of a new, state-ofthe-art outdoor basketball court on its field along Paul Robeson Place beginning August 26 to replace the old basketball court, which is more than 60 years old. As a result of a $300,000 anonymous donation, the Y will also be able to upgrade the playground area with a new turf surface. “This is an extraordinary and very generous gift,” said Board of Directors Chair and Princeton resident Merilyn Rovira. “The donors have a passion for basketball and wanted to share that with the Princeton community. Their gift is ideally suited for the Y. Our location is a perfect meeting place for everyone in town, and this new court will provide our neighbors with a central place to meet, play, and get to know one another better.” CEO Kate Bech added, “The Y invented the game of basketball, and at our Y, we have a very robust program where generations of children have learned lessons of team work and good sportsmanship from dedicated volunteers. Having a new court will add exponentially to the experience for future generations — and we are hugely excited and grateful.” Construction is scheduled to begin Monday, August 26 and it is anticipated it will take three to five weeks to complete. The YMCA will host a ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony on Saturday morning, September 21, followed by a neighborhood picnic with basketball clin ic s, workshops, and other surprises. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Spending Taxpayer Money for Digester Lacks Elements of Good Green Policy

To the Editor: On Monday night the Mayor and Council (with the exception of Eve Niedergang) voted to spend 20K of hard earned taxpayer money to acquire a “donated” digester. The idea behind the initial investment is that it will allow the town to resurrect its curbside composting program. The initial program, unlike the current one being proposed, was designed as a pilot. The goals of the program were to reduce food waste and, more importantly, to serve as a model of a successful program that would eventually scale to composting for all residents and be duplicated by other towns in New Jersey. That program had the public support of the PEC, Sustainable Princeton, all of Council, the Mayor, local green activists, many residents, and myself. The donated digester can’t scale to support full composting and it isn’t going to offer NJ towns a model to follow. Several green activists came out against the proposed program. Princeton University is using a digester, yes, but the elements that make their program successful are unfortunately lacking in ours. Their digester is on site, they are not hauling the compost, they have the ability to mandate participation, control contamination, and have deep pockets to pay for repairs and competent staff to oversee their program. From the failure of the initial program we learned transparency is important. We learned that contamination is a big issue and finally, that voluntary programs even with wide-spread support don’t generate high participation numbers. None of the critical issues responsible for the failure of the first program have been addressed by the elected officials that voted yes on the digester. We all want to be optimists and with the climate crisis looming, we all want to support green action. It is easy to vote to spend now and worry about the logistics later. It isn’t bold to support voluntary composting in 2019, what is bold is advocating for good governance. Good green policies are well researched, transparent, authentic, and impactful. They help the planet and make good fiscal sense. The current proposal to have the town take on hauling the compost, operating a digester, hiring more municipal staff, a private paid “consultant,” and buying trucks, the cost of which is all based on estimates, isn’t good use of taxpayers dollars. It sadly lacks all the elements of a good green policy. BAINY SURI Chestnut Street

Offering Suggestions on Making Pedestrian Crosswalks Safer

To the Editor: Multiple studies have found that automobile-to-pedestrian injuries, and fatalities, occur most frequently within the crosswalk: not mid-block but within the crosswalk — those white-striped paths marking all traffic corners nationwide. We walkers assume this circumscribed passageway is not only a pedestrian privilege but also a pedestrian sanctuary. It is not. We drivers assume pedestrians are vigilant, deliberative, and judicious. They are not. Tragedies occur at intersections each year even within the greater Princeton area. Investigators who study this contradiction ascribe it to heavy traffic, to pedestrian light-running, and to drivers who look in one direction and turn in another. But I think there is another component: white stripes on a black street background camouflage the walker. For the driver a verticallylined strip, as well as the associated median, gutter, and turn lines, obfuscate to some degree any figure upon it and this loss of discrimination is especially difficult in poor light. To be immediately alerted to whatever is on the intersection the pedestrian strip background must be uniform — not patterned — and it must be colored light to bright, white or yellow, better yet chartreuse since it is the color theme Princeton uses at pedestrian crossways already. The problem I describe is serious, universal, and common. No one component is the solution to this pressing and complex problem but a flagrant, bold-faced advertisement of the crosswalk to both driver and walker is central. BUZZ STENN Bayard Lane

BOOK REVIEW

Celebrating Herman Melville’s 200th Birthday: The Word Is Love It’s so fine, it’s sunshine, it’s the word love.... —John Lennon, from “The Word” hen I began writing this column on Thursday, August 1, an hour into Herman Melville’s 200th birthday, I’d been reading Philip Hoare’s celebration of Moby-Dick in the online July 30 Guardian, where he says he “fell in love with Melville” as much as “he had fallen in love with whales.” With the combination of love and Melville in mind, I had my subject. Two days later, the mass shooting in El Paso followed by Sunday’s in Dayton put hate in the headlines. The news cycle’s massive dissemination of love’s opposite only underscores the enduring power and significance of one of the most casually abused, glorified and degraded verbs in the language. Even so, it remains remarkably durable. John Lennon and the Beatles made an anthem of it in “All You Need Is Love” after paying tribute to it in “The Word.” When Lennon sings, “Everywhere I go I hear it said, in the good and the bad books, that I have read,” I’m thinking of what Melville said after finishing MobyDick: “I have written a wicked book and feel as spotless as the lamb.” To Love Melville On the occasion of Melville’s centenary in August 1919, at a time when the author of Moby-Dick had only begun to be rediscovered, the critic Frank Jewett Mather, Jr., wrote, “Gradually I learned that to love Herman Melville was to join a very small circle. It was like eating hasheesh.” Loving Melville is not that easy. It’s not like loving sunsets and sunrises, New York City, peanut butter, Mozart, and the goldfinches raiding the bird feeder in the backyard. It’s not a love founded on some ideal of literary greatness, or genius, or enduring fame-after-dying-in-obscurity. I’m not a card-carrying Melvillian for the same reason Groucho Marx refuses to join any club that would have him for a member. I don’t attend seminars, or write scholarly articles, although I do have the only MOBY 1ED license plate in New Jersey. Loving Melville is an obsessive, unapologetic commitment, like loving baseball and the St. Louis Cardinals. I’m a fan. It pleases me to know that my column matching Melville and Marilyn Monroe is posted on an MM tribute blog. The most obvious example of my devotion to the cause is my novel Rosamund’s Vision (1983), which is centered on a ramshackle New Jersey bookshop that has the original manuscript of Moby-Dick stashed in the basement. The idea came from The Melville Log (1951) and Jay Leyda’s mention of the legend declaring that “will-o’-the-wisp Mardi and Moby-Dick manuscripts are still flitting about in New Jersey.” A Classic Comics Crush It’s possible my crush on Melville dates back to the Classic Comic of Moby-Dick and the biography at the back: “Sailor ... adventurer ... poet ... humorist and handsome gentleman ... Something happened to him at 25, something inside he could never explain. This adventuresome youth became a hard-working writer.” Sounds

and an intellect — with life to his fingertips.” If she’s not falling for the 31-year-old author, she certainly sounds smitten as she notes his “very keen perceptive power,” and his “air free, brave and manly.” At first she sees his eyes as a defect (what “astonishes” her is that they are “not large and deep,” “not keen,” and “quite undistinguished in any way”), yet she can’t help wondering over what happens as he’s “conversing … full of gesture and force” as “his animation gives place to a singularly quiet expression, out of those eyes to which I have objected — an indrawn, dim look, but which at the same time makes you feel that he is at that instant taking deepest note of what is before him. It is a strange, lazy glance, but with a power in it quite unique. It does not seem to penetrate through you, but to take you into himself.” As I noted in the Marilyn/Melville column, “It’s a seductive formula, eyes that put her off only to take her in with their ‘lazy power’ — the way she’s expressed it, the person he was taking deepest note of seems to have been Sophia, who thus feels compelled to add that the subject of the taking ‘into himself’ was not her but the Hawthornes’ six-year-old daughter, Una.” Hawthorne himself documents Melville’s charm in a journal entry for August 1, 1851, Melville’s 32nd birthday in which he appears as “a cavalier on horseback,” saluting Hawthorne and his young son Julian and at one point putting the boy into the saddle for a ride of “at least a mile homeward.” Four days later another journal entry has Julian saying “that he loved Mr. Melville as well as me, and as mamma, and as Una.” “Moby-Dick” a Love Letter Calling Moby-Dick a “love letter” to Hawthorne, Philip Hoare misleadingly claims that it was “sadly unreciprocated.” In fact, the letter Hawthorne sent Melville after reading the book was, as Melville told him, “joy-giving and exultation-breeding ... A sense of unspeakable security is in me this moment, on account of your having understood the book.” Hawthorne’s understanding meant everything because Melville already intuited that, as he told Hawthorne in another letter, “Though I wrote the Gospels in this century, I should die in the gutter.” “Moby-Dick Big Read” egardless of my quibble about his reference to the unreciprocated love letter, I enjoyed Philip Hoare’s piece (“Subversive, queer and terrifyingly relevant: six reasons why Moby-Dick is the novel for our times”), which includes contact information for the Moby-Dick Big Read curated by Hoare and artist Angela Cockayne. There you can hear the entire novel read by a host of readers including Tilda Swinton, Fiona Shaw, Stephen Fry, Benedict Cumberbatch and 130 others; it’s at www.mobydickbigread.com. If Tilda Swinton’s sensitive reading of the first chapter is any indication, the Big Read is the essence of what it means to love Melville. —Stuart Mitchner

“Dimensionism” Exhibit Organized by Vanja Mal- director for academic proloy, for merly curator of grams, has selected works Coming to Zimmerli

Beginning September 3, the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers will host the nationally-touring exhibition that explores Dimensionism, an artistic movement tracing the influence of early 20thcentury scientific discoveries on some of the era’s most celebrated artists. “Dimensionism: Modern Art in the Age of Einstein” highlights the untold story of the Dimensionist Manifesto, authored by Hungarian poet Charles Sirató in 1936 and calling for an artistic response to groundbreaking scientific discoveries that changed human understanding of the universe.

American Art at the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College and now director and chief curator of Syracuse University Art Galleries, the exhibition features some 75 artworks by more than 36 artists, including the manifesto’s signatories — such as Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp, Sonia DelaunayTerk, Joan Miró, L ászló Moholy-Nagy — and their contemporaries. The presentation of “Dimensionism” at the Zimmerli features several addit ions exclusive to t he location. Donna Gustafson, the museum’s curator of American Art and Mellon

by Jean Arp, Peter Busa, Robert Delauney, Adeline Kent, Gerome Kamrowski, and Man Ray from the Zimmerli’s own collection to augment the traveling exhibition. The museum also will include its own copy of the epic visual poem Prose of the Trans-Siberian and of Little Jehanne of France (1913) by Blaise Cendrars and Sonia Delaunay. An auxiliary exhibition of Hungar ian moder n ist works highlights the Sirató, his ro ot s i n t he Hu ngar ia n avant-garde, and his evolution from a poet to a theorist who embraced all the arts

and envisioned a radical new coalition of creative thinkers. In addition, all labels will be printed in English and Spanish, and bilingual tours will be available. “Dimensionism” brings together paintings, sculptures, prints, and photographs, along with poetry and ephemera associated with the Dimensionist movement. It focuses on art produced during a period of dramatic scientific and social change — primarily from mid-1930s to early 1940s, with a few works created as early as 1915 and as late as 1966 — in both Europe and the United States. Inspired by new conceptions of time and space brought about by advances in mathematics, physics, astronomy, and microbiology, as well as the increasing public awareness of these developments via the mass media, an emerging avant-garde movement sought to expand the “dimensionality” of modern ar t. T he exhibition also features new scholarship that connects the story of these artists, their art, and the manifesto that reflected their new direction. “The influence of science on some of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century has been largely overlooked,” said Malloy. “While much has been written about the impact of so-

cial and political movements on artists, especially in the tumultuous period between the two World Wars, this exhibition is an important opportunity to reconsider art and artists we think we know in a fresh historical framework. When we see their art through the lens of the scientific discoveries that were reshaping popular understanding of the universe around them, their visual interests and impulses can take on a different meaning.” “Dimensionism: Modern Art in the Age of Einstein” is on view September 3 through January 5. The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers is located at 71 Hamilton Street (at George Street) on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick. Admission is free.

“LANDSCAPE WITH THREE TREES”: This 1643 etching by Rembrandt van Rijn was recently acquired by the Princeton University Art Museum, which now holds 70 of the 300 prints produced by Rembrandt over his career. The museum is free and open to the public.

PU Art Museum Acquires Rembrandt

An evocative and techn ically complex etch ing by Dutch Baroque master Rembrandt van Rijn (160669), Landscape with Three Trees (1643), was recently acquired by the Princeton University Art Museum. The Princeton University Art Museum holds 70 of the 300 prints produced by Rembrandt over his career, providing a cross-section of the artist’s graphic output, ranging from several of his earliest self-portraits and genre studies to some of his greatest late religious c om p o s it i on s. T h e n e w acquisition joins the only other landscape etching in the Museum’s collection, Landscape with a Thatched Cottage (1641), which was acquired in 1960. “This exceptional impression of one of Rembrandt’s most iconic works in any medium represents the artist’s unrivalled emotional acuity and technical innovation in full bloom,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher–David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director. “The artist’s rare work in landscape is perhaps his most prized, and we believe this to be one of the greatest works of landscape art in the European tradition, so we are delighted to have been able to acquire it.” Rembrandt focused on etchings and drawings of landscapes in the years after the death of his first wife, Saskia, in 1642. Of the artist’s 26 recorded landscape etchings, The Three Trees (as it is often called) is the largest and most elaborate, and the most richly imbued with spiritual meaning, often read as a metaphor for the three crosses of the Crucifixion. The atmospheric and theatrical print combines technical virtuosity and conceptual complexity to deliver a visionary spectacle incorporating what has aptly been called “meteorological melodrama.” The composition combines three large trees at center right with flat expanses of tilled fields, populated by windmills, cattle, and herdsmen, canopied by dramatic clouds and driving rain. The sweeping landscape depicted is generally considered to be a distillation of specific sites in the countryside around Amsterdam, which Rembrandt explored during walking expeditions. Addi-

tional human motifs — including (on the far right) a seated artist sketching and a horse-drawn wagon full of people; a fisherman and his female companion in the left foreground; and two lovers, barely visible in the shadowy bower at right — contribute to the scene’s humanistic appeal. The Three Trees was acclaimed critically as early as the mid-18th century. Edmé François Gersaint, t he French con nois s eu r who compiled of one of the earliest known catalogues of Rembrandt prints, stated in 1751 that “this landscape is one of the most beautiful and most finished that Rembrandt made.” The Princeton University Art Museum is located at the heart of the Princeton campus. Admission is free. Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Fr iday, and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday 12 to 5 p.m. For more information, visit artmuseum.princeton.edu.

People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos ( P&S/GyC ), a nonprofit organization that believes in the power of literature to change lives, has been awarded an $18,450 grant to support general operations from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts (NJSCA). “We are honored to be NJSCA g rant recipients again this year,” said P&S/ G y C E xecut ive Director Cheyenne Wolf. “General operating grants are relatively rare and extremely vital, and NJSCA understands that.” P&S/GyC invites underserved populations to find new understandings of themselves and others through oral readings and seminarstyle discussions of literary short stories during eightweek sessions conducted in English or Spanish. The organization was founded in 1972 by late Princeton resident Sarah Hirschman. “Each week the writing itself became a k ind of moral inventory,” recently observed Scott D. Feifer, a P&S/GyC program coordinator at Manos House Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Services. “I hope it became an act of liberation to put voice to experience, to gain insight and wisdom from the examination and expression of it, and to reach for greater influence over our lives.” The NJSCA awarded more than $15.7 million in grant funding to support 700 arts organizations, projects, and artists throughout the state. The awards were announced at the Council’s 53nd Annual Meeting held at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton.

istration in November 2017, and since October 2018 has served as associate director of graduate admissions and director of global partnerships and outreach. “Steven has a strong track record in the policy and topic areas important to our community, said Cecilia Elena Rouse, dean of the Woodrow Wilson School. “We’re lucky to have him back and in this role.” Petric will oversee the operations of the graduate admissions team, leading a strategic process to recruit and enroll a highly qualified, committed, and diverse student body for the Master in Public Affairs (MPA) and Master in Public Policy (MPP) programs, and providing admissions support for the Ph.D. in Public Affairs. He also will guide recruitment for the Junior Summer Institute (JSI ), a national program that works to promote the inclusion of historically underrepresented groups in public service. “I’m delighted to see Steven step into this position. He brings an unwavering commitment to the mission of the School and a zeal for recruiting exceptional candidates,” said Elizabeth M. Armstrong MPA ’93, faculty chair of admissions for the MPA program and associate professor of sociology and public affairs. Petric will continue to focus on global partnerships and outreach, where he has expanded the School’s connections with governments, political organizations, think tanks, community-based and multilateral organizations. He will report to Karen McGuinness MPA ’85, associate dean for graduate education. “I am thrilled that Steven has agreed to lead our graduate admissions team,” McGuinness said. “He brings a deep knowledge of our programs and of the public service environments from which we need to recruit.” M o s t r e c e n t l y, Pe t r i c worked for the United Nations, responding to the Roh ing ya ref ugee cr isis from a posting in Bangladesh. Previously his public sector work spanned several U.S. states as well as Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, including nearly four years in Iraq and Afghanistan directing programming across multiple governorates. “The opportunity to engage communities and build partnerships around the world and in the United States on behalf of the Woodrow Wilson School is exciting,” Petric said. “I’m thrilled to work in this expanded capacity on behalf of a community I value.” In addition to his graduate degree from the Woodrow Wilson School, Petric earned a graduate degree from the University of Essex (United Kingdom), and an undergraduate degree from Northwestern University.

FEATURED LISTINGS

Art Mazzei, Addison Wolfe Real Estate

Getting to know me…I guess that when I was in my childhood, the first makings of a realtor developed. My father was a contractor, and nothing to me was more exciting than visiting a new home under construction and the smell of pine. However, life took a different turn and I started a 30-year career teaching high school English in the New York School System. While I graded compositions, and listened to Richard the III rant about a “kingdom for a horse,” I reflected on my past and knew that salesmanship needed to be in my future. Thus, my real estate career began and somehow I managed to juggle my educational career with the world of “metes and bounds.” During this time I rose to the No. 2 position in a prominent real estate firm in Bucks County, and, by the time I retired, I had risen to the No. 1 sales position in a company of 80 agents. Today, I am a partner in Addison Wolfe Real Estate, an agency that claims 50+ fellow realtors on its roster and an impressively large market share for the Center City to Bucks County to Lehigh Valley demographics. I would have to say that part of my success is my years in education — working with daily problems, adjusting to personalities, and developing a level of patience that only 30 years in the classroom can provide. Working with you would be my pleasure, and developing a reciprocity of understanding with each other would also be a significant part of our relationship. I assure you that I will not bore you with the introspection of a Hamlet, but I can guarantee you that I will be more of a salesman than Willy Loman. Call (610) 428-4885 or email art@addisonwolfe.com.

Capping Busy Summer of International Hoops, PU Star Alarie Playing for U.S. in Pan Am Games

ever has Bella Alarie been so happy to have a list alphabetized as the Princeton University senior was the first name announced to make the United States women’s basketball team for the Pan American Games after tryouts this May in Colorado Springs, Colo. “It’s just so exciting to hear your name called,” said the 6’4 Alarie, a native of Bethesda, Md. and a twotime Ivy League Player of the Year. “I was kind of shaking a little bit. I was thinking, ‘I really did this.’ It’s hard to hear the other names called, but I made a lot of other friends and to hear some of their names called was just really exciting.” Alarie is one of three players from the U-19 national team that won silver in the 2017 World Cup to make the squad which will be competing for the U.S. in the XVIII Pan Am games in Lima, Peru this week. “It’s surreal,” said Alarie. “To be selected to even try out for a team like this is a huge honor. To know that the committee saw something in me that I could bring to the team so we could bring back a gold medal, because that’s the standard USA Basketball has, that means so much to me. I’m always proud and excited to wear USA across my chest, no matter where it’s trials, 3x3 or Pan American Games. My teammates and I are really hungry to get out there and work as hard as we can.” After the selection process was complete, the U.S. team returned to the training center in Colorado Springs from July 23-August 5 to fine-tune things before starting play on August 6 when it was slated to face Argentina in Group B action.

Looking ahead to the competition, Alarie is determined to come home with gold. “I look back at my experience at U-19 and I’m so much more motivated to come back with a gold medal,” said Alarie, whose team will play U.S. Virgin Islands on August 7 and Columbia on August 8 with the semis starting on August 9 and the gold medal game set for August 10. “It was kind of heartbreaking to go and come back with a silver medal from the U-19 tournament. I just think with the Pan American Games the stakes are higher. It is a bunch of older basketball players who have way more experience, but this team is really good. We have as good a chance as any to come back with the gold medal. Taking my experience from U-19, knowing that feeling, that heartbreak coming back without achieving the goal you set, makes this all the more important to me and to my other teammates that had the same experience with me in U-19s, and all these new players that have their first opportunity to win a gold medal for the United States. I’m two years older and two years more experienced and I’m way more confident as a player. I’m just really excited.” After 35 players were invited to try out in Colorado Springs, the 12-player team was announced May 20. The team was selected by a committee of coaches watching the tryouts. “I knew I played well,” said Alarie. “I hit shots and did what I was supposed to do. You don’t know what they’re looking for in that year and what type of teammates they want. I tried to be the best teammate I could be and tried to show off what

I’m best at. That worked out for the best. Honestly, I had no idea if I was going to make it or not. There were so many good post players around me.” The Pan Am Games added another commitment in a busy summer for Alarie. Prior to the national team tryout, Alarie already had been to Las Vegas to compete for a spot on the new 3x3 national basketball team that will be contested in the 2020 Olympics. Just a week after making the 5x5 team for the Pan American Games, Alarie was playing her first international 3x3 tournament in China to kick off a busy summer that has seen her play 3x3 tournaments in Italy and Russia in the World Cup tournament as they try to collect points for the United States to join the Olympics qualifying field. Alarie is one of the potential players in the 3x3 national pool for the 2020 Olympics. “I love the speed,” said Alarie. “It’s nice for me. I can just get the rebound, throw it out to one of my teammates and post up. I don’t have to move around that much. It’s easier. It’s really fun. I think it’s also fun to watch. A five-point lead is actually not that much. You can grab the ball and keep scoring. It’s never totally out of your hands. People take cool, sometimes crazy buzzer-beater shots. It’s a fun spectator sport. It’s obviously a lot faster than a fourquarter, 40-minute game. It’s definitely an adjustment. It’s so much more physical than the basketball I’m used to in the NCAA. That’s been the biggest adjustment for my teammates and I.” Alarie was looking forward to getting back into 5x5 action for the Pan Am team’s training camp, an intense

week-and-a half together when the team pulls everything together before playing for gold. Team USA has explosive, creative guards and strong post players for which to design an offense. “What I remember from U-19, is that we did a lot of team bonding,” said Alarie. “You have to become a team as fast as you can. We end up spending so much time together and the selection committee does a really good job of finding girls who are excited to play together, who are the types of players that buy into a system and want to work as a team. They don’t pick players that would make that difficult. It’s definitely going to be a grind for training camp. It’s always really fun to watch your team get so much better as a unit over those nine days together.” Having played U-19 is a bonus for Alarie as she is bringing experience into another training camp. “I’m going into this a little more prepared, which is a good feeling to know what to expect,” said Alarie. “Obviously it’s a whole new group of girls and coaches, but to have that sense of comfort that I know what it’ll be like a little bit, has helped me prepare better this summer.” Almost overlooked while preparing for her Team USA commitments is that Alarie and her Princeton teammates are preparing to adjust to a new coach, Carla Berube, who was named to replace Courtney Banghart at the end of May. Banghart’s departure for North Carolina and Berube’s hiring came as Alarie was in the midst of 3x3 tryouts and then Pan Am tryouts and brought another significant event to her playing career. “It’s a huge turnaround,” said Alarie, who averaged 22.8 points and 10.6 rebounds a game last winter as the Tigers won their second

straight Ivy League title. “I’ve been able to meet Coach Berube and talk to her. She’s so awesome. I’m excited to have her as a coach. I’ve heard only great things from one of her players, Lilly Pero, at Tufts, who was one of my AAU teammates. She texted me right away, ‘I’m so jealous, you’re getting my coach. I really look up to her.’ It’s great to know she’s had such a huge special impact on people I really trust. From our interactions together, I worked a Princeton camp, I got to know her better. She brought a great staff in. We’re all really excited to come back in the fall and it’s kind of like a reset button. It’s a good one. It’s going to be really positive and certainly different, but we’re all really excited.” Alarie will be even more excited if she can return for her final collegiate season with a gold medal from the Pan Am Games as it would cap a whirlwind summer that’s kept her busy with basketball all over the world. “I didn’t expect the summer to be like this at all;

when I was planning for it, I was going to get an internship and work out in my free time,” said Alarie. “When I was getting recruited for the Ivy League, one of the things about it is we don’t have any summer school so there’s all this opportunity to travel and do global seminars and internships. I’ve been lucky to play basketball in the summers and get to travel so much. Once I knew I’d be playing 3x3, I knew I’d be busy traveling, and then I made the Pan American team so there goes four weeks playing for U.S. again. Besides that, I’m home for a week and a half and then I go somewhere else and then I’m home and go somewhere else. When I’m home, I’m working out with my trainer just trying to get better, work on my game, and not get out of shape. It’s just been a really busy basketball summer for me, but I honestly would not have it any other way. It’s such a blessing to literally travel the world and do what I love to do most.” —Justin Feil

He played in 55 games and recorded a .903 save percentage and a 2.71 goals against average and signed a contract extension through 2016-17. His first NHL appearance was October 11, 2015 when he led Montreal to a 3-1 win over Ottawa. He later joined the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. In 2016, Condon was traded to the Ottawa Senators from the Penguins. Intended to be a backup for Craig Anderson, whose wife was battling cancer, Condon started in 38 games during the season. He set a franchise record for consecutive starts with 27 between December 1 and February 4 to help the Senators to the Eastern Finals, where he made two appearances in net. Overall in his first season with the Senators, he played in 40 games with a 19-14-6 record with five shutouts, a .914 save percentage and a 2.48 GAA. Condon signed a three-year extension with Ottawa in June 2017 worth $2.4 million per season. Condon appeared in two games with Ottawa last season, missing the majority of the year with a hip injury.

Making a Triumphant Return to Competitive Hoops, PHS Alum Levy Earns Gold at Pan Am Maccabi Af ter w rapping up his college basketball career for Franklin & Marshall in 2017, Lior Levy headed to New York City to work in the Teach for America program. T h e for m er P r i n ce ton High standout immersed himself in his day job, teaching at Herbert Lehman High in the Bronx with little time for hoops. But earlier his year, Levy was motivated to start spending more time in the gym as he was chosen to play for the U.S. men’s open basketball team at the 14th Pan American Maccabi Games in Mexico City this July. “The coach [Jason Polykoff of Friends Central in Pa.] was asking around, looking for some good Jewish basketball players, so I got a call,” said Levy. “It was guys from all over the country with a bunch of L.A. guys. The coach hand selected the team. When I found out I was going to play in the Maccabi games, I had to get in some sort of shape. This year, I was playing pretty consistently two times a week at least. I played in a competitive men’s league in New York with a bunch of the old Princeton University guys.” The U.S. squad shaped up well, rolling to the gold medal at the competition, which took place from July 5-15 Before the team headed to Mexico City, Levy sensed that the group could be something special. “We had a training camp for a week in Dallas and we stayed at a hotel together,” said Levy. “We had practice twice a day and it was a good time for all of us to bond. It was literally right before, so the games from the first to the fifth of July. It was a really, really good time.” Building on the bonds forged in Dallas, the U.S. team rolled through the

competition in Mexico City, going 4-0 in pool play with wins over Mexico, Australia, Guatemala, and Argentina. “Really from the start, we all got along really well,” said Levy. “Whether it was eating lunch between practices and dinner afterwards hanging out in the hotel room. We got close very fast and we took that right into the games. By the time we started actually playing, we knew each other well and because everyone was a good guy, everyone played the right way on the court. It was pretty easy to mesh together.” Adjusting to international rules, the U.S. was able to display its brand of unselfish ball. “We were from 30 second shot clock in college and we were playing a 24 second shot clock,” said Levy. “It is much more physical. It was up tempo but we did a really good job of moving the ball and cutting hard, which caught teams of f guard because we really did play well together.” Levy, for his part, played well individually, emerging as key frontcourt reserve. “I started one game and I was the first big off the bench for the rest of them,” said the 6’8, 230 -pound Levy. “I got to play at least half the game every game which was nice. I did a little bit of everything, I probably averaged about seven points, six rebounds, and four assists or something like that. I was pretty proud of myself. Now that I am not playing every day, and most of the guys on the team were still in college and they are practicing every day, I wasn’t sure how it would go.” Saving its best for the gold medal game, the U.S. pulled away to a 93-52 victory over Argentina. “We came in confident be-

cause we knew we were the most talented team,” said Levy. “The whole day before we were very much concentrating on not getting too over confident and coming in like it is a normal game. We did know that we didn’t get Argentina’s best in pool play (an 80-52 win for the U.S.). In the finals we played unbelievable.” For Levy, getting back on the court was an unbelievable experience. “To be able to play basketball competitively again was incredible,” said Levy, who earned a gold medal at the 16th Maccabiah Games in Israel in 2013. “After college, where you are always working towards basketball, you feel a little lost. I couldn’t speak more highly of the group of guys. I definitely do think we will keep in touch. We have our group chats and stuff. In only two weeks, it is hard to do that. That was awesome.” Off the court, there was an awesome atmosphere around the games. “From a Jewish perspective, it was cool to see all of these different Jewish athletes,” said Levy. “There was a hotel resort place that we stayed where a lot of the different countries stayed. We got to meet other people; it was really great. Everyone was happy. Mexico City is a beautiful place.” While winning gold would be a great ending to Levy’s hoops career, he isn’t ruling out a return to the court in the future. “I have no plans right now to play again,” said Levy, noting that the Maccabi program also includes 35-andover and 45-and-over hoops divisions. “Basketball is a huge part of my life, so I will be open to pursuing different options. I am always open to these Maccabiah games.” —Bill Alden

Over the years, the University of Connecticut has developed into an athletic powerhouse, highlighted by the women’s basketball program with its record 11 NCAA titles and the men’s hoops winning four national crowns of its own. Several Husky athletes have gone on to star in the pro ranks, including Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi of the WNBA, Ray Allen and Kemba Walker in the NBA, along with George Springer of the Houston Astros and Byron Jones of the Dallas Cowboys. Next week, Wesley Leggett will aim to start a new chapter in the school’s storied sports legacy, hitting the field for preseason training in his freshman season on the UConn men’s soccer team. For mer Pr inceton Day School standout Leggett was attracted by the school’s athletic excellence as he went through the recruiting

process. “Ray Reid is a great head coach who has cemented himself in the college soccer game with everyone,” said Leggett of Reid, who has guided the Huskies to one national title (2000 ) and 18 appearances in the NCAA tournament with 41 players having been selected in the Major League Soccer (MLS) draft. “Having him as the leader and someone who could teach me and a good coaching staff will help develop me as a player. The University of Connecticut also develops a lot of professional athletes.” In reflecting on his development at PDS, Leggett credited his teammates with giving him a big boost. “The thing that stood out was the great supporting cast around me that helped me develop as a great player,” said Leggett. “They helped me with my confidence a lot. Having a

great group of guys to play with those four years always made that better.” That group of of guys experienced a lot of Prep B success, winning the title in 2016. “We were finalists two years, we won in my sophomore year and we lost in the semis another year,” said Leggett. “That shows that we had a strong program and we were capable of winning state championships every year.” The dynamic Leggett became capable of scoring in bunches, netting 22 goals as a senior last fall to lead the area. “I think the main things that have developed are my first touch and athleticism,” said Leggett. “As you get older, you mature and see the game in a different way.” Over his four years at PDS, Leggett matured off the field as well. “Being a captain and a leader the last two years, it translates on the field and off the field,” said Leggett. “Once you are a leader on the field, you become a leader in the school and the classroom. The way you take those roles goes a long way.” With the UConn preseason practices starting on August

After Emerging as Top Scorer for PDS Boys’ Soccer, Leggett Primed to Start Freshman Season at UConn

HIGH HOPES: Wesley Leggett flies high to boot the ball last fall in his senior campaign for the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team. Leggett, who led the area with 22 goals in 2018, will be starting his college career next week when he hits the field for preseason practice with the University of Connecticut men’s soccer team. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) 13, Leggett is ready to display his class on the field. “I can’t wait to step out there and play and just express myself on the field and show the older kids and the coaches what I can do,” said Leggett.

“What I want to do is to go in there and work hard every day and in every practice to be the best player I can be.” While Leggett has been at his best playing at striker, he is ready to contribute from any spot for the Huskies.

“They were talking about me as a winger as well as a forward so we will see during the season,” said Leggett. “Wherever coach needs me I will play.” —Bill Alden

With Throng of 220 Athletes Coming Together, CP Bluefish Cruise to 5th Straight PASDA Title

“In addition we had Darren, they went 1-2 in backstroke. That was a really strong group for us. You could see it if you look at the relays as well. Both of those boys were on our freestyle and medley relays and those relays placed first. They are the heart and the soul of both that group and the team. They really embody what summer swimming is all about. Charlie is from another longtime Bluefish family. He ended up finishing first in the 25 fly; that was a really gutsy swim. There was a lot of tough competition in that group.” I n t h e 14 - a n d - u n d e r group, Julian Velazquez came up big, winning the 50 fly and taking second in the 50 free. “Velazquez had a great 50 fly; in the relays he did a great job really pushing hard and keeping those boys together and working hard to try to do the best that they could,” said Uchrin. “J u l i a n r e a l l y to o k a leadership role with those 14-and-under boys.” Owen Tennant pushed hard for the 18-and-under boys,

nie Flanagan. Ristad places first in the 100 IM, 50 breast, and 50 fly while Annie Flanagan won both the 50 free and 50 back. “ We h a d s o m e r e a l l y amazing swimmers in that group,” said Uchrin. “That 12-and-under girls group ended up being the embodiment of what our team is. We had divers, water polo players, club swimmers from multiple different clubs, and the seasonal swimmers as well. They were all coming together.” The pair of Serena Sharpless and Cammie Davis did some amazing things for the 18-and-under girls. Sharpless prevailed in the 50 free and 50 fly while Davis was second in both the 100 IM and 50 free. “Serena and Cammie are fantastic leaders on this team, they are longtime Bluefish,” said Uchrin. “Cammie actually did double duty this year, she ended up coaching as well. She worked with our 10-and-under girls and boys. Cammie and Serena were great. The big thing as well is that our 18-and-under girls won both the relays, free and medley. Cammie and Serena were huge parts of that.” Ref lecting on the pro gram’s tradition of success, Uchrin believes it has become a vital part of the social fabric for Princeton residents. “It is a summer pastime,” said Uchrin, noting that the team has been going strong since the 1970s and is approaching its 50th anniversary. “That is why when we hear that the sport is shrinking with some of these other teams closing up, we stay strong because of this great support that we have from the community. Along with barbecues and trips to the beach, the Bluefish is part of the Princeton community.” Uchrin, for his part, is glad to be part of the Bluefish program. “I am just along for the ride; honestly it comes down to the kids coming out and having a good time and the community supporting the program,” said Uchrin. “The coaches who work on the staff as assistants are the best. We have these kids that have come up through the program and are now coaching. It creates a culture where you see the younger kids looking up to them as role models and then striving to be them. It is amazing to see.” —Bill Alden

Prior to retiring Emma had been a yoga teacher at Johnson & Johnson and the YWCA of Princeton; and an administrative assistant. She was an avid lover of travel and opera, Emma Lee (Costello) Forehand, recently of North Andover, MA, passed away on June 1, 2019. Born in Richmond, VA, in 1932, she was the daughter of T homas Joseph Costello and Clara Estelle (Tally) Costello and grew up in Richmond, VA. As a young girl, she studied dance with Miss Elinor Fry and performed in recitals of Miss Fry’s “little Tots.” She played cello avidly and performed with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. She met her husband Garlie Forehand while he was at the University of Richmond for his undergraduate stud-

ies. After marriage Emma and Garlie moved to Chicago, where she continued to play cello with local orchestras, while raising two young boys, Tom and Mike, and typing Garlie’s PhD dissertation. In 1962, Joe was born and the family moved to Pittsburgh where Karen was born. Emma and her family moved from Pittsburgh to Princeton in 1973. Emma received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1992 from Thomas Edison State College. Emma was politically active and was a supporter of the League of Women Voters. She will be remembered for trips the Tanglewood Music Center, love of the cello, trying different foods with her dining club, and her joyous laugh. Mother of the late Thomas A. Forehand, she is survived by two sons Michael W. and Joseph L. Forehand; daughter Karen E. Michael; daughters-in-law Lydia A. Harris and Elizabeth Connor; son-in-law Jeff Michael; brother-in-law John B. Forehand; niece Cathy McNutt; and two grandchildren, Jeremy Forehand and Miranda Bermejo. Garlie and his wife Emma supported many local organizations such as the Universalist Unitarian Congregation of Princeton, The Princeton Festival, and Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts. They also volunteered for Meals on Wheels and as such, in lieu of flowers, donations in Emma’s memory may be made to any of the above volunteer organizations. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 17 at 1 p.m. at the Universal-

PREPARING TO CLOSE: CHECKING FOR OPEN PERMITS Congratulations - you have accepted an offer on your home! One of the most important - yet often overlooked - tasks on a seller’s “to-do” list is to ensure all permits related to prior improvements made to your home (such as renovations and additions) are closed out. This can be done in a few simple steps. First, visit www.princetonnj.gov and search for the “Princeton Request for Government Records” form (you can find the property’s lot and block information on your tax bill.) Once you submit the form, and the township has processed your request, they will send you a report. In the event there is an open permit, you will need to call the township to schedule an appointment for a final inspection, confirming all work has been completed and is in compliance.
