Welcoming Week Starts With Friday Salsa Night, Many Events to Follow Promoting inclusiveness, unity, and diversity, Princeton’s fourth annual Welcoming Week will kick off this Friday, September 13. Sponsored by Princeton Human Services, Princeton Public Library (PPL), and a number of other local organizations, Welcoming Week will feature more than a dozen different events from September 13-22 and is “a time to celebrate and amplify the values that unite us as neighbors, parents, and colleagues, and that make our town more welcoming to newcomers and everyone who calls our community home,” according to the Welcoming Week flyer on the Human Services Department’s website at princetonnj.gov. Last year there were more than 2,000 events in 400 communities across the globe during Welcoming Week, with more than 80,000 people participating. A naturalization ceremony will take place at 2 p.m., September 18 in the PPL, where 23 Princeton immigrants will be taking the Oath of Allegiance to become United States citizens, in a ceremony presided over by the Department of Homeland Security United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. “Welcoming Week is a time to encourage neighbors to engage in acts of kindness, welcoming, and inclusion, and to bring neighbors together to start conversations and create a welcoming environment for all,” said Princeton Human Services Director Melissa Urias. “Our events during Welcoming Week are meant to bring together residents who may not have an opportunity to meet otherwise, and share their cultures and experiences in an inclusive setting to allow all individuals in our community to feel connected and welcomed.” Emphasizing the importance of building “common ground in our community,” PPL Community Engagement Coordinator Kim Dorman pointed out, “Princeton is a town that thrives on all of the incredible people who live here permanently and those who come for short-term residencies. It is part of what makes us unique and successful. In order for people to thrive, they need to feel welcomed into the community.” Packed Schedule

County To Vote on Armored Vehicle Purchase The Mercer County freeholders are scheduled to vote Thursday, September 12 on the $309,000 purchase of an armored vehicle for the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, but many local residents and organizations have voiced opposition to the proposed acquisition as an unwise use of taxpayer funds and a troubling militarization of law enforcement. Andrew Koontz, the only one of the seven freeholders who has publicly expressed opposition to the purchase, described his “strong visceral reaction to a military-style vehicle that the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office would own and operate. It brings to mind militarization
of local police departments that we saw in Baton Rouge (2016) and Ferguson (2014).” He continued, recalling the TV footage of the disturbances in Ferguson and Baton Rouge, “I saw the equipment they were using, and I had a reaction as an elected official. Someone voted for that. I had a strong reaction that this is not the kind of policing I like to see at the local level.” In a phone conversation on Monday, Koontz went on to explain his understanding of the dangerous work done by the Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team (SERT), traditionally known as
PROUD ARTIST: The Arts Council of Princeton hosted its annual Fall Open House on Saturday afternoon, which featured hands-on artmaking, artist demos, live performances, and an opening reception for its fall exhibition, “Wonder .” Participants share why art is important to them in today’s Town Talk on page 6 .

the Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team. “They have their lives on the line. I understand that,” Koontz said, but he noted that local law enforcement has access to state police armored vehicles, one of which was brought to Princeton but not used in March 2018, when police were in a prolonged standoff with a man with a gun at Panera Bread on Nassau Street. “Military buildup is the wrong way to go,” Koontz said, urging instead a focus on gun control. “We’ve got to do a better job of getting weapons out of the hands of the wrong people.” Continued on Page 10
Art Against Racism Program Examines Social Justice Issues Since putting together a 10-day program designed to promote social justice, inclusion, equality, and anti-racist community-building, to be held in Princeton September 20-30, its organizers have been bowled over by the public’s response. Art Against Racism: Princeton Area and Beyond will bring talks, exhibits, readings, faith community conversations, and a drag show to Morven Museum & Garden, The Arts Council of Princeton, McCarter Theatre Center, the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, and three local churches. “We started on this in June,” said attorney, activist, and Princeton resident Rhinold Ponder, one of three people behind the series. “The response has been so great that I haven’t approached more than one-tenth of my resources. There has not been a ‘no.’ There are people and organizations that will wonder, ‘Why didn’t he call me?’ But it just became so big, so fast, that I had to put a limit to it.” The program came together after Ponder received a call from a group called CREATE Core Courage, which was looking to develop art based around specific social justice issues. This is the second year that the organization has fostered these events. The mission of the inaugural Art Against Racism group show and related events “is to help people in the Princeton area consider and discuss racism locally, and beyond,” according to a press release. Funds raised by the event will benefit Continued on Page 13

The nonprofit Petey Greene Program will hold its first public fundraiser on September 26, with special guest Damien Chazelle, a graduate of Princeton High School and an Academy Award-winning director. Chazelle whose films include Whiplash, La La Land, and First Man, will be in conversation with Roger Durling, executive director of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The event will take place at the Nassau Presbyterian Church, 61 Nassau Street, on Thursday, September 26, at 7:30 p.m. The program will include short clips from Chazelle’s films and time for the audience to ask questions. In addition to general admission tickets starting at $15 for students, sponsorship level tickets are available and will include a pre-event dinner and a post-event reception with the artists. Tickets and sponsorships are on sale now on the organization’s website: https://www.peteygreene. org/upcoming-events. Chazelle is the youngest director ever to win an Academy Award (La La Land, 2016), after receiving a record number of Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for the film, which he also wrote. Co-presenter Durling also has a local connection. Durling attended The Peddie School in Hightstown, and now serves on The Peddie School Board of Trustees. In his tenure at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, he is known for his celebrity interviews and for elevating the profile of the festival to the ranks of Cannes, Toronto and Sundance.
coordinates university volunteers to tutor incarcerated students. PGP Trustee and Event Co-Chair Lee Gladden remarked, “We’re delighted that Damien’s first public appearance in Princeton since achieving fame in Hollywood is dedicated to supporting the work of The Petey Greene Program.” Damien’s mother, Celia Chazelle, a PGP trustee who has been teaching incarcerated students for over a decade, served as PGP’s first coordinator at The College of New Jersey. Founded at Princeton University in 2008, The Petey Greene Program is named after Ralph Waldo “Petey” Greene, a formerly incarcerat-
dedicated his life to advocacy on behalf of people in prison. Petey Greene’s close friend, Charlie Puttkammer (Princeton ’58), founded PGP in his honor. The program launched in 2008 with 20 Princeton University volunteers tutoring students at the A.C. Wagner Youth Correctional Facility. PGP now partners with 30 universities and 47 correctional facilities from Boston to Washington D.C. In 2018 alone, PGP had 1,000 volunteers working with 2,500 incarcerated students. Proceeds from the event will help to underwrite the expense of recruiting, training, and transporting volunteers to tutor incarcerated students.

Of ten, oral history projects fizzle out after leadership changes, and we wanted this to be a community initiative.” Mak ing t he recordings easily accessible for the community was an important objective, she points out. “To m a ke t h e ora l histor ies searchable and useful for listeners and researchers, we have our facilitators identify key words that have come up in the conversation from a standard list, and then these are tagged in the interview. “ We a r e p r o u d to b e building a sustainable infrastructure for the collecting and recording of stories. Such a collaborative and long-lasting way of capturing recollections whenever the oppor tunit y or need arises has not existed in Princeton for quite some time. We’re thrilled to be launching this project with our community partners.” Partner Projects VOP a ls o has Par t ner Projects, reports Schmidt.

UNOW was founded by the local chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW), and its first nursery center was at Princeton University in the 1970s. “Its founders had a radical vision for the time, with gender equality and antisex stereotyping at the program’s core,” continues the statement. “T he nurser y provided full-day hours so that women, especially single mothers, could attend college or work. The founders viewed child care as a profession that performed valuable work — not simply as a ‘women’s issue.’ “In 2020, UNOW will celebrate its semi centennial. UNOW & Then has a rich story to tell.” R ichard A nderson, co founder and one of four coordinators of the VOP project, was also a UNOW & Then project cofounder. “UNOW & Then is the first Voices of Princeton partner project,” he explains. “The project will explore the first 50 years of UNOW’s history, leading up to its 50th anniversary. “ We’re con d u c t i n g i n ter v ie ws w it h fou n d er s, Continued on Page 8

Question of the Week:
“Why is art important to you?”
(Asked Saturday at the Arts Council of Princeton Fall Open House) (Photos by Erica M. Cardenas)
“Art is how I express myself and how I talk about what’s important to me. I’m a painter.” —Jacqui Alexander, Pennington
“Art has always been a part of my life. I play the flute and have been playing instruments since I was very young. I volunteer here, which is really fun because I get to help kids experience art and share similar past experiences. Art has really broadened my horizons and it’s very therapeutic. “ —Emily Bauser, Princeton
“Art is part of the foundation of our culture. As a scientist, I’m a strong advocate for not just STEM but for STEAM, which is the intersection of art and science and one of the most interesting places to be.” —Andrew Zwicker, Kingston
“I’ve had a terrible day if I go without making art. I’ve realized it really affects my personality and I have to make art to get the expressions out — my responses to life’s problems or even good things that happen in life. By making art I’m documenting and releasing some energy.” —Donna Payton, Princeton
“To me art is like food —it feeds my whole being. I love seeing it and seeing what people are doing. I focus on the visual arts, but when you think about art like literature, theater, and music — it encompasses everything! It’s a very enriching experience to life.” —Karen Titus Smith, Pemberton

current and former teachers, and current and former students and parents. We will eventually produce a website combining, among other components, audio interviews and small digital history exhibits exploring how UNOW’s story brings together the histories of P r i n c e to n, s e c o n d - w ave feminism, and the history of childcare. “The centerpiece of the project is our effort to highlight and preserve the voices and experiences of the women — some of whom called themselves feminists and some of whom did not — who built UNOW and the women for whom UNOW provided oppor tunities to work outside the home
and more generally to chart new paths for themselves. T hey helped change the university and the town.” Highlight and Preserve “We decided that VOP could also provide a readymade str ucture for local or ga n i z at ion s a n d com munity groups to conduct oral history projects,” continues Anderson. “So a local church might want to inter view longtime members in conjunction with an anniversary, but they might not know how to proceed, how to preserve the recordings, or how to make the interviews accessible to the public. We provide a sort of ‘tool kit’ for training interviewers on best practices, ethics, and copyright, and preservation of materials, and we also host the audio
recordings on the Princeton Public Library website. “Hosting audio can be tricky if you don’t have a website or don’t have someone maintaining the website long-term. UNOW & Then already had a structure and a system for training interviewers, but since I bridged both projects, we decided this would make a good first VOP partner project.” A nders on believes t he par tnership bet ween the two organizations will allow UNOW & Then to expand its audience. “Our par t nersh ip w it h Voices of P r i n c e to n r e i n for c e s UNOW’s place as a vital institution in town with a history that relates to some of the biggest changes the town and University have
witnessed since 1970: the advent of coeducation at the University, the entry of women into the University’s faculty, the expansion of paid employment opportunities for women, and the professionalization of child care and early childhood education. “For VOP, the partnership gives a rich example of what the community oral history projects can do — foster conversations about the relationship between the past and the present, explore our community’s values, bright spots, and shortcomings, and encourage us to think about how to shape our community’s future. “For example, the digital h is tor y ex h ibit s w ill touch on the unsuccessful

efforts of the National Organization for Women and lawmakers like Shirley Chisholm and Bella Abzug to establish a universal child care program in the early 1970s. So the exhibit will spur visitors to ask what needs to happen in the next 50 years for every town to have a terrific child care center like UNOW with a justly-compensated staff.” Dynamic Approach The collaboration of the Arts Council of Princeton is also an important contribution to VOP, adds Kasdin. “During the planning process, the Arts Council was very interested in being able to use the stories collected to inspire art or performance, and we see them as an invaluable partner in helping us think about the best things to do with the oral histories once we collect them. For example, can we merge them into podcasts by theme? We will depend on the Arts Council’s creativity. The participants give their consent for their stories to be interpreted in this way. “I think that each participating organization brings different interests to the table, which leads to a dy nam ic approach. For the Historical Society, our goal was to continue to add to the historical record that we preserve, encourage Princeton residents to
participate in that collecting process, bring awareness to our existing historical collections, and ensure that oral history projects around the community have the resources they need to achieve best practices, and be preserved for posterity. “And, our definition of what a ‘Princeton Story’ is is broad. We want to capture Princeton in all of its remarkable diversity.” Share Stories The first inter view was held in May of 2018, and so far, 20 interviews have been recorded, with people of all backgrounds and ages represented, reports Hannah Schmidt. More are being scheduled in the next months. “It is such a nice opportunity for participants to reminisce and share their stor ies,” she points out. “It often reminds them of things they hadn’t thought about, and they find they enjoy telling their stories and want to share them.” Stories are indeed a wonderful way to communicate; everyone has a story, and ever yone likes to hear a story.

Armored Vehicle continued from page one
Mercer Count y Sheriff Jack Kemler issued a statement Tuesday in support of the purchase, claiming a limited but crucial use for the armored vehicle. “Our concern is for the safety of our citizens and officers during a critical incident,” he wrote. “Let’s be clear, the vehicle to be purchased by the Sheriff’s Office is NOT a tank and NOT an assault vehicle. It is an armor protected vehicle that will only be used for extremely dangerous situations such as a sniper, hostage negotiations, bomb threats, mass shooting incidents, active shooter incidents at a school, the threat of a dangerous felon, and for protection during dangerous situations. A similar vehicle clearly saved the lives of
officers and local residents during the recent active shooter standoff in Philadelphia.” Princeton resident John Heilner has been voicing opposition to the armored vehicle purchase and urging citizens to attend the freeholders meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, September 12 at the McDade County Administration Building, 640 South Broad Street in Trenton. He has urged residents to contact members of the Board of Freeholders, to come to the meeting, and to speak out during the public comment period or to hold signs showing their opposition to the purchase. “The upfront cost and the annual maintenance and training costs should be put to better uses by increasing Mercer County Community
College financial aid, plugging holes in the social services safety net that has been decimated by the current federal administration, or fixing County roads and bridges,” Heilner wrote in an email. He went on to point out recent County property tax increases of 25.4 percent over the past 10 years. In a letter to the freeholders, Heilner stated, “Many studies, by both academic and law enforcement organizations, have found that militarization of our police and sheriff’s forces are counter-productive — especially in tense situations. Deescalation techniques are much more effective.” Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, at a Monday press conference, noted legitimate concerns from many Princeton residents about the
MERCER COUNTY PURCHASE?: The freeholders are meeting Thursday to vote on the purchase of this $309,000 armored vehicle for the County, but many local groups and individuals are voicing opposition and urging citizens to attend the meeting and contact freeholders to express their disapproval. County’s proposed purchase and said that she shared those concerns. “It’s paying money for
a piece of machinery that everybody agrees would be used rarely, or not at all, and in the rare case that we did need to use it, there’s the opportunity to borrow it,” she said. She continued, “There’s a growing concern about the militarization of local law enforcement and legitimate questions about whether that makes us safer or if it might do the opposite in the long run by making it harder to create those bonds of trust that are essential for effective policing.” Among the groups in opposition, members of Not In Our Town (NIOT) from Lawrenceville, Trenton, West Windsor, and Princeton issued a statement criticizing “a tendency for civilian police and sheriff’s departments to use military style tactics, weapons, and vehicles … at a financial and social cost to the community.” Warning that “once military-style weapons systems have been purchased, there is an incentive to prove the value of the purchase by using the equipment,” the NIOT statement proposes that “the monies requested for this armored tactical vehicle instead be invested in programs that benefit the people of Mercer County.” In an appeal to the freeholders on September 3, NIOT also joined with 11 other local organizations to oppose the purchase of the armored vehicle. Citing the proposed purchase as “irresponsible and dangerous” for Mercer County and listing seven reasons to support their claim, the groups included NA ACP (Trenton branch), the Princeton Community Democratic Organization, Fair & Welcoming Coalition of Mercer County, Coalition for Peace Action, Princeton YWCA, STAND Central NJ, Hope Rises Up, Lawrence Citizen Activists, the Central Jersey
Democratic Socialists, and the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice. —Donald Gilpin
Time-Traveling Fun at Historical Society
On October 6, the Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) presents HistoryFest, a free annual event exploring local history. A variety of interactive activities for all ages will be offered on the Society’s six-acre historic site, Updike Farmstead, at 354 Quaker Road. Visitors will travel through four centuries of Princeton history, with hands-on activities and presentations showing the town’s changes over time. Artifacts and documents from HSP’s vast collection will inspire stations focusing on topics such as the Revolutionary War, house moving, and Princeton’s first inhabitants, the Lenni-Lenape. Children will receive a Time Travel Passport to be stamped at each station. “We’re so excited for this year’s HistoryFest,” said Izzy Kasdin, executive director of the Historical Society. “We love introducing kids to primary sources — the building blocks of history — in experiential ways. We can’t wait to meet all of our time-traveling guests!” Families can drop in anytime between 1 and 3 p.m. to enjoy these activities, which will include, among others, a colonial herb scavenger hunt and mini archeology dig. A slideshow presentation featuring vivid images from HSP’s photograph collection, Princeton: Then and Now, will be offered at 3 p.m. In addition, attendees are invited to add their opinions to an interactive mural, “What changes would you like to see in Princeton in the next century?” The event is rain or shine, and registration is not required. For more information, visit www.princetonhistory.org or call (609) 921-6748 x102.

night with “Dance, Princeton, Dance!,” a Salsa night dance party at the ACP from 7:30 to 10 p.m. On Saturday, September 14, the Princeton University Art Museum will hold the grand opening of its Ar t @ Bainbridge building with a block party at the 158 Nassau Street historic site, starting at 11 a.m. At 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Art Museum on campus a tour, “Embracing Our Differences,” will take place, highlighting the museum’s pieces that reflect “the diversity of our community and embrace the core values that unite us.” Available all day Saturday will be a selfguided Museum tour titled “Celebrating Black Artists.” Next week’s events will include the movie Rainbow Day Camp at the Princeton Garden Theatre with a panel discussion with film director Horacio Marquinez on Monday, September 16 at 6 p.m.; and Open Archive: Princeton School Days in the Discovery Center of the PPL on Tuesday, September 17, 6:30 to 8 p.m., with the Historical Society of Princeton’s curator of collections and research on hand to share information and answer questions. At 7 p.m. on September 18, the PPL will screen a film called This is Home, which explores the challenges of refugees who come to this country. “It is one thing to allow people to enter,” said Dorman. “It is another entirely to make them welcome. Welcoming Week reminds us of this critical step towards building stronger and more vibrant and inclusive communities.” Cultural Exchange Night on September 20 at 6 p.m., in a new location on the Palmer Square Green, is a perennial highlight of Welcoming Week, Urias claims. “For the past three years, the event has grown and attracted more individuals interested in sharing their cultures. We hope to have even more families join us this year in sharing their backgrounds through music, dance, and traditional attire,” she said. The final weekend of Welcoming Week will feature
“Loteria” Mexican Bingo at the YWCA on Saturday, September 21 at 3 p.m.; and at 3:30 p.m. is Princeton University Community and Staff Day, with local residents joining University faculty, staff, and students for a youth sports clinic, a community service project, a family fun fest, and the Princeton University football team’s season opener against Butler starting at 5 p.m. Free football game tickets are available through September 19 at GoPrincetonTigers.com/tickets. Welcoming Week wraps up at the PPL on Sunday, September 22 with a choice of events, both taking place at 3 p.m.: a Korean Lotus Flower Lantern-Making Workshop led by members of the Korean Spirit and Culture Promotions Project (pre-registration required) and the “Power of Faces” art talk led by photographers Theresa Menders and Daniel Farber, whose work is on display on the second floor of the library. They will discuss the images that are part of “The Power of Faces,” a global photojournalism project featuring portraits of individuals and families in refugee camps around the world. In a press briefing on Monday, Mayor Liz Lempert emphasized the value of Welcoming Week for the Princeton community. “We pride ourselves on being a welcoming community, and this is a chance to celebrate all that that means. It’s great to have all the community partners help put together the programming to celebrate the diverse place that Princeton has become.” She continued, “I do feel there’s more anxiety and fear in the air, and one of the best ways to combat that is to come together and strengthen the community and make sure residents feel a strong sense of belonging and connection to one another.” —Donald Gilpin
Sustainable Princeton Says Leave Your Leaves
As fall approaches, Sustainable Princeton has offered some tips on how to deal with falling leaves. The organization recommends leaving the leaves, raking them into a woodlot,
MEXICAN BINGO: Councilwoman Leticia Fraga presides over “Loteria” Mexican Bingo as Mayor Liz Lempert looks on during last year’s Welcoming Week.

if available, or in an obscured portion of your yard such as behind shrubs. Mulch leaves with a mower so they can disappear back into the lawn and provide needed nutrients. A mower with a mulching blade is optimal, but most power mowers (electric is best) should do an adequate job. Spread leaves on the garden and leave them there to hold in moisture and slowly release nutrients. Use leaves to control weeds by raking them toward flower beds, the fence line, or other weedy areas. Create a leaf corral. Build a corral or circle of wire fencing to contain leaves where they can decompose and keep them from blowing around. S u s t a i nable P r i n ce ton recommends sharing these ideas with landscapers. The municipality maintains a list of registered landscapers who use mulch mowers and other sustainable lawn practices. “Incorporating any of these actions will ensure your lawn is doing its part to help reduce flooding, water pollution, and noise disturbance. Furthermore, as additional homeowners take this action, the town reduces its need to move and process the leaves outof-town, saving energy, emissions, and municipal costs,” a statement from the organization reads. “However, if you feel you can’t keep leaves on your property, we encourage you to bag them and leave them out according to the Princeton’s leaf schedule and rules. Piles of leaves present safety hazards for bikers, block stormwater drains, and feed unhealthy algae blooms in our waterways.” For more information, visit sustainableprinceton.org.

School Matters Planning and Referendum Projects on PPS Agenda With enrollment continuing its rapid climb as the schools opened last week, the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE) was scheduled to meet Tuesday night, September 10, “to consider our planning process to accommodate enrollment growth in a manner consistent with our educational mission,” according to BOE President Beth Behrend. A presentation by Milone & MacBroom (M&M), a Cheshire, Connecticut, planning and engineering firm with extensive school planning and community engagement experience, was the main item on the agenda. “The Board is considering retaining M&M to coordinate a collaborative planning process, with community input, to develop optimal, financially-viable alternatives to address current and future facilities needs, in light of known and anticipated residential growth in Princeton,“ Behrend noted, adding that no action would be taken at Tuesday’s session. At their September 24 meeting, the BOE will receive a quarterly progress update on ongoing referendum projects and the timeline for the remaining work. Princeton voters approved a $26.9M referendum bond issue in December 2018 for upgrades to all the schools.

Wilberforce School Has New Home The Wilberforce School has moved into a new home in a newly renovated building at 75 Mapleton Road, on the campus of the former St. Joseph’s Seminary. During the past decade the campus has been converted to become the home for several day schools, and Wilberforce will occupy three floors within the main building to accommodate its growing population. “This campus is reflective of who we are as a classical school, a place of substance and beauty, committed to what is time tested and proven, committed to being a solid presence serving the community,” said Head of School Howe Whitman. The Wilberforce School, founded 15 years ago by two Princeton couples, is a K through 12th grade classical Christian school, formerly housed at four different locations in the area before its move to 75 Mapleton.

Alexander Road To Close November 6; Additional Disruptions in Coming Months
Alexander Road will be closed from November 6, 2019 through April 1, 2020, Mayor Liz Lempert announced earlier this week, as the New Jersey Departm e nt of Tr a n sp or t at ion (DOT) and Mercer County reconstruct two bridges and a culvert. “T his is much needed infrastructure work,” Lempert said in a Monday press briefing. “We understand the impact on quality of life, but we will be better off at the end of this project. We would be increasingly at risk of emergency closings with no ability to plan ahead if we didn’t do this now.” Acknowledging the traffic and business challenges the community will face over the five-month period, she emphasized the urgency of the repair work and the need for mutual support. “I’m grateful to all of our community partners who came to the table to help us work through this. It may be painful, but it’s important to support local businesses at this time. We can get through this together as a community.” The timing of this closure
over the holiday season is a matter of concern for many, but has been necessitated by environmental issues, with the bridges located in an environmentally-sensitive area. The DOT will be holding a public information session on the project on Wednesday, September 25 in Monument Hall. According to t he New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, construction work in the area of the bridges is prohibited from May 1 to July 31, in order to protect warm water fish within Stony Brook and Alexander Creek from sediment-generating activities. Also, the clearing of trees six inches in diameter at breast height or greater is not permitted from April 1 to September 30 of each year because of the presence of the Indiana bat, a federally listed endangered species. On about October 15, the DOT will be installing variable message boards on Route 1, Interstate 295, and elsewhere, with information about projected travel times on the different roads into
Princeton so that drivers can plan accordingly. “We’ll do everything we can to minimize traffic problems into and out of town,” Lempert said. “We’re working with the merchant community so people realize that Princeton is open for business, celebrating with holiday events, and one of the best places to come for dining and shopping.” In addition, the municipality is working with the County and the DOT to eliminate any additional road closures after November 6. As a result, Route 206 south towards Lawrenceville will be closed at night for resurfacing Monday to Thursday, 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., and Friday, 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., starting next week for about six weeks. Also the County will be working on the bridge over Stonybrook on Mercer Street south of Quaker Road for about 15 days beginning on September 23, closing the bridge Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.. Cars will detour onto Province Line Road and Route 206.
Princeton Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton also noted that there will be an additional nighttime closure on Alexander Road for water company work, from October 7 to 11 from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., and from October 1 to 4 there will be alternating traffic on Alexander Road, one lane in each direction from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lempert added that during the November to April A lexander Road closure employers are urged, if possible, to implement flex time or telecommuting for employees in order to help reduce the traffic impact in and out of Princeton during rush hours. She also recommended that Princeton residents, whenever possible, use the Dinky rather than driving to Princeton Junction. Princeton Council At Monday night’s meeting, Princeton Council voted unanimously in favor of a resolution establishing Indigenous Peoples Day on the second Monday in October to “honor the lives of tribal peoples, including their cultures, traditions, and arts.” Also at Monday’s meeting the organization Not in Our Town, “a movement to
stop hate, racism, and bullying, and build safe, inclusive communities for all,” was honored with an Award of Recognition. —Donald Gilpin

Dealing with Deer In Mercer County
City of Lambertville Introduces Green Award The impact of white-tailed The Lambertville Environ-
deer in Mercer County, and the new scientific approach to deer management, is the upcoming lecture topic at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) on Tuesday, September 17, at 12 p.m. in the Communications Building, Room 108. The scientific monitoring of the deer population, along with the challenges that it presents on forest health, will be the subject of the lecture hosted by Jennifer Rogers, county naturalist, and Jillian Stark, senior land steward of the Mercer County Park Commission. The talk is the first MCCC Distinguished Lecture for the fall 2019 semester. The lecture will highlight the process of designing effective deer management programs in the parks, and its impact on forest health. The overpopulation of white-tailed deer presents a challenge to stewarding natural lands, and is one of the largest regional threats to biodiversity in Central Jersey. The Park Commission’s primary goal is to maintain a balance between natural resource conservation and recreational opportunities for public use. It manages more than 7,100 acres of land. Rogers, a graduate of the University of New Hampshire, earned her B.S. in wildlife management and education. Since 2008, she has been the county naturalist for the Mercer County Park Commission. As director of the Naturalists Division, her work includes re - establishing the Park Commission’s Nature Program, running more than 175 programs annually, ecologically restoring over 500 acres of parkland, including multiple reforestations, and utilizing over $460,000 in grant funding. Stark, the senior land s teward for t he Mercer County Park Commission, graduated from The College of New Jersey with a B.S. in biology and from Pace Universit y w ith an M.S. in environmental science. She has worked with the Park Commission since 2017, specializing in deer

the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice. Robt Seda-Schreiber, that organization’s chief activist; and Ruthann Traylor, local art curator, activist, and member of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, have been working with Ponder on the program. “What we wanted to do was give an opportunity to artists, organizations, and
individuals to express how we really have a collective vision for how this country and this world should function,” said Ponder. “It’s getting lost in all of these labels and in all of what’s happening on the national scene.” The events begin Friday evening, September 20 with an opening reception and artists’ talk at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation. Interdenominational breakfasts are scheduled Sunday, September 22 at
“LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL”: This painting by Kimberly Lennon will be featured at an exhibit during Art Against Racism: Princeton Area and Beyond. To be held September 20-30, the program is designed to promote social justice, inclusion, equality, and antiracist community-building.
that location as well as the Princeton United Methodist Church and the First Baptist Church of Princeton. Next on Monday evening, September 23, at Morven, Not in Our Town presents an exhibit of children’s expressions of the theme through art and poetry. A special performance of the play Gloria: A Life is Thursday evening, September 26, at McCarter, including a postshow discussion with feminist artist Tamara Torres. On Friday evening, September 27, a juried art show and literary poetry performance take place at the Arts Council. “Racism is a Drag” is Saturday evening, September 28 at the Bayard Rustin Center. The program concludes Monday, September 30 with a talk titled “Reparations,” at Princeton United Methodist Church. “I wanted to give as many organizations as possible an opportunity to participate,” said Ponder. “We would have had more if we could have. The beautiful thing about art is that it helps create a vision — not necessarily one single vision, or ideology. But it helps people by creating a dialogue. For myself, I use art to help create languages that aren’t available to us t hrough words. In this country, we don’t have a common language for discussing race, and art provides the perfect opportunity to open that up to discussion.” Seda-Schreiber said the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice is happy to be a key organizer of the events. “Racism is so engrained in our collective consciousness,
meaningful connections like this allow us to see how all our communities can come together in a creative and meaningful way to recognize and break down the institutional and foundational nature of it,” he said in the press release. “The intersectional aspect of this work is the very essence of our mission and of our being of service to the people.” Traylor commented, “Art can be very powerful, in providing new thinking, creating dialogue across our differences and helping people see different perspectives. Our hope is we can also see ways to build bridges of community.” Following this inaugural series, Ponder envisions creation of an organization focused on the event. “I’m not
sure we have the bandwidth to do it annually, but it will be repeated,” he said. “Part of what we’re trying to do is reinforce a collective vision of a more humane, socially conscious, and just society. We need to see ourselves a lot differently. Because of the environment created by 45
[President Trump], we need to start to see ourselves as who we feel we really should be. We hope to elevate that collective vision.” For a f ull schedule of events, locations, dates, and times, visit www.facebook. com/AAR.Princeton. —Anne Levin

Cannabis Conference To Explore Challenges, Choices, Opportunities “The Color of Cannabis,” a conference sponsored by the Capital City Area Black Caucus along with large contingent of other organizations and individuals, will examine what cannabis legalization will mean for New Jersey today, Wednesday, September 11, 5-8 p.m. at the James Kerney Campus of Mercer County Community College at 102 North Broad Street in Trenton. Wit h a w i d e a r r ay of s p e a ke r s a n d p a n e l i s t s from the political, medical, education, business, and law enforcement communities, the one-day session, subtitled “Taking a Seat at the Table, Guiding the Conversation, and Follow-
ing the Money,” will examine challenges, choices, and opportunities lying ahead as cannabis legalization, conference organizers assume, eventually works its way through the state legislature. “It’s coming,” said CCABC co-founder, former Princeton resident, and conference moderator John Bailey. “What’s more important is that equity has to play a role here.” Noting that the median income of African American citizens of New Jersey is only half that of their white counterparts and that African Americans are five times more likely to be arrested than white residents
of N.J., Bailey warned of e conom ic d is p ar it ie s i n the cannabis industry too. “You can’t put all those African Americans in prison all those years then build a cannabis industr y that doesn’t include them,” he said. “It’s important to figure out how to stop pursuing equity and start actualizing equity.” He continued, “This discussion will allow us to put things on the table, to engage, to educate, to get a sense of where we are. We have to figure out how to make those opportunities available for more people.” The conference will include an opening address by Mercer County Freeholder
Sam Frisby, a recognition of N.J. cannabis advocates and acknowledgement of c on fe r e n c e s p on s or s, a CCABC NJ Cannabis Leadership Discussion, and panel discussions led by experts on the public safety and law enforcement challenges, on community viewpoints and choices, and on business viewpoints and opportunities. “We are at a historic moment in New Jersey, where once the legislation to lega l i z e c a n nabis pas s e s, the equity, diversity, accountability, and inclusion question being addressed at this session will force us all to do better and to look at ways to make a positive impact on New Jersey citizens, especially in Trenton,” said former Trenton mayor and CCABC Founder Doug

20th Mercer County Italian American Festival
The Mercer County Italian American Festival is celebrating its 20th anniversary September 27, 28, and 29 and is pulling out all the stops with a full lineup of entertainment, food, and attractions. The Festival will take place at Mercer County Park in West Windsor. It was started in 2000 by Festival Association President Cav. John Scarpati, in response to what he felt was the diminishing presence of the Italian American culture with which he grew up. When complaining one day about his concern. his friends challenged him to do something about it. The Festival was his answer. With Bobby Rydell headlining on Saturday, Elvis tribute act Doug Church headlining on Friday, and member of the Original Blues Brothers Band, Rob Paparozzi, headlining on Sunday, the 20th Anniversary Festival features three full days of live entertainment on the Investors Bank Stage. The Festival Fireworks Spectacular takes place Saturday following Bobby Rydell’s performance. Along with entertainment, the Festival features a Food Piazza with restaurants, bakeries, food trucks, and beer and wine; an Italian Market; a Heritage Pavilion with cultural displays and a working near-life size replica of the famous Trevi Fountain; cultural presentations throughout the festival; bocce; more
than 20 amusement rides with a special area for small children; a World War II military tribute; an Italian Car Show on Saturday; and Mass on Sunday. T he 20 t h A n n ivers ar y Mercer County Italian American Festival is open from 3 to 11 p.m. on Friday, noon to 11 p.m. on Saturday, and noon to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. Mass is at 11 a.m. on Sunday with free admission for those attending. Admission to the festival is $5 for adults, $4 for senior citizens (65 and older) and free for children 12 and younger. Mercer County Park charges $5 for parking. C o m p l e te d e t a i l s a n d schedules can be found at w w w.Italian A mer ican Festival.com.
Trenton Circus Squad Awarded Arts Grant
Trenton Circus Squad has been awarded a three-year grant from the State Council of the Arts towards general operating and programming expenses. The grant is part of a larger investment of $15.7 million from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts to support 700 arts organizations, projects, and artists throughout the state. Tre nton Circu s S q uad inspires young people to take big leaps in life. Squad members learn how to cooperate, push themselves and serve their community — all through the practice of circus arts. “It is extremely humbling and we are deeply honored to be recognized as a statewide arts organization after only four years of operation,” said Executive Director Tom von Oehsen. “We couldn’t be more excited to share our programming with even more communities outside of Trenton. Hopefully, they will experience the same impact and community building we’ve been able to establish throughout Mercer County.” For more infor mat ion, v i s i t w w w.t r e n to n c i r cussquad.org or call (609) 984-8599.

Why An Armored Vehicle for The Mercer County Sheriff’s Department?
To the Editor: We, the undersigned, representing Not In Our Town Princeton, a multi-racial, multi-faith racial justice organization, have concerns about the proposed purchase of an armored tactical vehicle by the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office. This type of highly specialized vehicle costs about $300,000 and its usefulness is quite limited. In addition to the cost, we are most concerned about how it will be used. Over the past generation, there has been a tendency for civilian police and sheriff’s departments to use military style tactics, weapons and vehicles. The change in policing methods comes at a financial and social cost to the community. This cost is both in the expense of tactical vehicles and equipment, but more critically, it is the cost of the disengagement of law enforcement from the communities being served, in particular communities of color. The people in the community and on the street are no longer known as individuals but are seen as dangerous and as opponents. More powerful weapons and equipment are requested to deal with those opponents. Innocent people are at risk and lives are lost from SWAT teams breaking into the wrong address and injuring or killing innocent people; citizens have died in standoffs in which buildings are destroyed or entire city blocks burned down. Once military-style weapons systems have been purchased, there is an incentive to prove the value of the purchase by using the equipment. And difficult situations such as armed standoffs and hostage negotiations, which require a range of exceptional skills and patience to defuse or neutralize, instead become an opportunity to use extreme force with little regard to the surrounding community. We propose that the monies requested for this armored tactical vehicle instead be invested in programs that benefit the people of Mercer County. The sheriff’s office has specialized units such as K-9, Fugitive, and the Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team, all of which provide valuable assistance to other law enforcement agencies in the county. In addition, the office has supported other first responders during natural disasters and emergencies. Finally, the office has initiated and runs a number of worthwhile community service programs to benefit children, parents, and especially seniors. We feel that the sheriff’s office could better spend $300,000 on human resources rather than military hardware. Join us in expressing your opposition to the proposed armored vehicle purchase by calling the Mercer County Freeholders and attending the Freeholder meeting on Thursday, September 12, 6 p.m., Room 211 of Mercer County’s McDade Administration Building, located at 640 S.

To the Editor: I am a former board of trustees chair of Princeton Community TV, and am writing in support of the town continuing to fund the station. The bulk of PCTV’s funding goes toward supporting the creation of original programming that serves the local community. In these times when local media outlets are vanishing because they are no longer commercially viable, PCTV provides a unique outlet that will only become more important as other local sources of information dry up. The state of our democracy is already perilous, and we need to preserve (and preferably expand) independent, local voices such as those fostered by PCTV. The cable franchise fees that the NJ Board of Public Utilities passes on to municipalities are paid by cable subscribers, as part of the bundle of services they pay for each month. They are not taxes paid by the general public. As such, diverting the funds into the general municipal budget for unrelated purposes robs the cable subscribers of the important services that PCTV provides. Moreover, the general public, even those not paying for cable subscriptions, also benefits from PCTV activities since PCTV programs are available (for free) online. So continuing to fund PCTV with the fees paid by cable subscribers is a win-win that serves the entire community. Since serving on the PCTV board, I have moved to Bordentown where there is no local public access TV station. It is a lovely town, but it is a struggle to find media outlets that connect the community together. A station comparable to PCTV is something that I miss. If Princeton moves to pull the plug on this valuable asset, I fear that Joni Mitchell’s lyric will be all too apropos: “Don’t it always seem to go/That you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til its gone.” DAN PRESTON Bordentown
Supporting Kendal’s Candidacy For PPS Board of Education
To the Editor: I am proud to write in support of Dafna Kendal’s candidacy for the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education. Dafna has a unique ability to make decisions in the best interests of the students, while always being mindful of budgetary and tax impacts. Dafna has proven her commitment to our students and to the community during her recent term on the Board. Her many accomplishments demonstrate how deeply she engages in everything she does. It is impossible to enumerate all Dafna has done in a brief letter. Some of her achievements for the school district include: Dafna was instrumental in the passage of the later start time at PHS, which has been proven to improve students’ health. She fostered a fair and respectful relationship with the Teachers’, Administrative, and Support Staff Unions and led the contract negotiations which extended their contracts until 2020. In 2018 Dafna negotiated approximately $800,000 in voluntary payments from nonprofit institutions including the Institute for Advanced Study and the Princeton Theo-

logical Seminary. These payments go directly to the district’s operating budget. Upon her review of the Cranbury send/receive agreement, Dafna discovered that Cranbury was not fully reimbursing the district for special education services. This discovery will result in at least $120,000 of additional funds annually to the district’s operating budget. She worked to make Board activities and decisions transparent and interactive by adding public comment at the beginning of each Board meeting. She also instituted providing written summaries of Board meetings to the PPS community. It is clear that Dafna is committed to Princeton Public Schools, from her experience as treasurer on the Executive Board of the Littlebrook PTO, to her recent service on the Board. She has also volunteered in our community in other ways, as a founding trustee of the Princeton Children’s Fund, softball coach for Princeton Little League, and by mentoring a first-generation PHS student for three years through the Give Back Foundation. Dafna has the energy, smarts, and thoughtfulness to make the best decisions for our kids and community. Please join me as I enthusiastically support Dafna Kendal with a vote for experience, commitment, and competence. ABIGAIL ROSE Wheatsheaf Lane
Council, Civil Rights Commission Vote For “Indigenous Peoples Day”
To the Editor: Princeton Council has just taken a major step forward to truth-telling and social justice, voting unanimously on Monday night in favor of the “Resolution Declaring that the Second Monday in October Shall Be Known as Indigenous Peoples Day” in Princeton. The Resolution is the result of months-long work by an ad hoc committee of the Civil Rights Commission, to whom much thanks should be given. Here are some major points: The Municipality of Princeton “offer[s] respect” to the regional indigenous peoples in our area, the Lenni-Lenape, around Ewing and Bridgeton (to the south), who once occupied a huge territory stretching from Albany to the Delmarva Peninsula before their forced removal to Ohio and elsewhere by Euro-Americans. The Resolution also “honors” them for their “practices of environmental sustainability,” their holistic understanding of the world, and “their cultural resilience throughout this nation’s troubled history.” And it acknowledges that European colonists built Princeton itself on this small portion of the vast ancestral lands known as Lenapihoking. Further, the Resolution rejects “systemic racism and oppression that targets all minority and indigenous peoples.” It then continues by stating, correctly, that Indigenous Peoples Day will help all of us to seek and develop “truthful representations and acknowledgements of wrongs committed by European colonists and their descendants,” who since the 16th century “engaged in forced removals of indigenous peoples from their homelands and committed acts that nearly exterminated them.” This statement tells the truth sharply and concisely; it is appropriately painful to those of us who carry the historical (and present) baggage of oppressive behavior and attitudes we’ve received earlier without examination. Thus, the Resolution firmly stresses the need for accurate education. It charges the Civil Rights Commission with collaborating “with community partners to develop annual programming and educational outreach” events to commemorate Indigenous Peoples Day.” It further commends the Princeton Public Schools for their efforts “to revise distorted histories of ‘Indians’”; many of us may remember our games of ‘Cowboys and Indians,’ or the feathers or tomahawks we wanted as children (at least the white boys — without a mention of landgrabs for the sake of land and natural resources (as now, with the Dakota Access Pipeline). Indeed, the success of instituting our annual Indigenous Peoples Day will hopefully prompt all of us to engage in confronting our stereotypes and engaging the unspoken realities of white American predatory attitudes towards indigenous peoples. We should all be encouraged to reach a more authentic basis for new understandings. With appropriate programming in place, we should all thank Princeton Council and the Civil Rights Commission for its spurs to revised awareness and thinking. DANIEL A. HARRIS Dodds Lane

the “New Jim Code,” Benjamin shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies ; by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions; or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Also discussed will be Captivating Technology: Race, Carceral Technoscience, and Liberatory Imagination in Everyday Life, which Benjamin edited. Captivating Technology, she writes, “brings together an incredible set of scholars to explore the interplay between innovation and containment across a wide array of social arenas, past and present.” Ruha Benjamin is associate professor of African American Studies at Princeton University. She is the founder of the Just Data Lab and the author, previously, of People’s Science. Eddie Glaude is professor and chair of African American Studies at Princeton, as well as current president of the American Academy of Religion.

BOOK REVIEW
Imagining What D.H. Lawrence Would Make of Brexit: A Birthday Adventure I am English, and my Englishness is my very vision. —D.H. Lawrence, in a letter from October 1915
E
arlier the same year, in another letter to another friend, Lawrence wrote, “I know that I am the English nation — that I am the European race.” You may be thinking, how outrageous, that a mere mortal could ever presume to make such a statement. But then this is no ordinary mortal. The website for “Important Events on This Day, September 11,” begins, inevitably, with a 10-line paragraph about the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center; after an inventory of other events, including a 1973 military coup in Chile and a 1941 speech by Charles Lindbergh accusing “the British, the Jewish, and the Roosevelt administration of trying to draw America into World War II,” the site concludes with “D.H. Lawrence, born Sept. 11, 1885,” followed by a biographical notice almost twice as long as the entry on the American apocalypse. “Apart he would remain” Meanwhile you may be wondering what Lawrence would make of his homeland’s chaotic struggle to withdraw from the European Union, but what’s to wonder? We’re talking about someone who once claimed to be England and Europe; here’s a Nottinghamshire coal miner’s son, through the sheer impertinent imperishable force of his will and his work, daring to encompass nations. However: “Without a people, without a land. So be it. He was broken apart, apart he would remain.” After quoting those lines about the protagonist of Kangaroo (1923) in his biography D.H. Lawrence: The Life Of an Outsider (Counterpoint 2005), John Worthen is tempted to “discount the passion of Lawrence’s utterance: to see it as an exaggeration. His passion to leave England was not: ‘I don’t care where I go, as long as I can turn my back on it for good.’ “ Although Worthen seems to be backing up his subtitle, it’s difficult to square the idea of an “outsider” with someone who says his “Englishness” is his “very vision” and that he is the English nation and the European race, both statements cited in a chapter headed “Isolated and Independent: 1917-1919.” Surely there’s more than enough evidence in Lawrence’s work to show that his creative identity, his motive force, is to imagine himself inside everything, whether it’s a country or a woman or a bat or a pomegranate. Making and Unmaking One thing I’m sure of is that whatever Lawrence would make of England’s current turmoil he would viscerally detest the word brexit, condemning it as a linguistic deformity and refusing it the dignity of an uppercase “B.” Also, the implications of a phrase like “what he would make of something” shouldn’t be
taken lightly. An essay by Lawrence on Boris Johnson’s U.K. would be a savage orgy of making and unmaking. After performing sarcastic variations on the ugly little word (“our daily brexit, to brexit or not to brexit”), he’d make a mockery of the slapstick confusion put in play by the referendum (another word that would have him cringing), picturing the crazed PM at the lead of a pack of Keystone Kops chasing after an insanely stoic Buster Keaton with a BREXIT sign on his back leading them into a ditch as big as China (as it happens, Boris has been quoted recently claiming that he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than request another delay). But however much a hypothetical Lawrence might enjoy the spectacle of England getting its knickers in a twist over the bungled withdrawal, he’d end by taking it as seriously as he’d have taken the 9/11 attacks. Love it or hate it, he’d manage both extremes without coming down on either side. Blitzing American Lit Lawrence’s love/hate, yes/ no, sublime/ridiculous duality is the dynamic I found so exciting as a student confronted for the first time by the take-no-prisoners style of Studies in Classic American Literature. What a deadly title, I thought. A c a d e m i c , b o ring, prosaic, just the boost I needed to put eight years of work and travel between me and graduate school. But the real boost came when I started reading the original Anchor paperback and found myself on board for the crazybrilliant, totally outrageous adventure Lawrence was making out of American literature. This was at a time in my reading life when James Joyce reigned supreme. The magnificent Richard Ellman biography having just been published, the greatness of Ulysses cast its impenetrable shadow over everything and everyone, all “the little fellows,” as Nora Joyce once referred to her husband’s rivals. No doubt she’d have put Lawrence in the same category and so would many of us who didn’t know any better in those days. What he made of Cooper, Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville, among others, suggested the arrogant, unrelenting power of a world view of life that would have been repellent if it hadn’t been so exhilarating, so free and fierce. It was a joy to read of “Feni-
more lying in his Louis Quatroze hotel in Paris passionately musing about Natty Bumppo and the pathless forest,” or of “that blue-eyed darling Nathaniel” who “knew disagreeable things in his inner soul” and “was careful to send them out in disguise.” And of Melville, who was “clumsy and sententiously in bad taste ... even in a great book like Moby Dick...The artist was so much greater than the man .... Oh dear, when the solemn ass brays! brays! brays! ... But he was a deep, great artist” whose “book commands a stillness in the soul, an awe.” Lawrence’s rude negatives made the breathess positives seem all the more credible and significant. Say what he might about “blue-eyed Nathaniel” after pages of deliriously, apocalyptically riffing, The Scarlet Letter was a great book, “a marvelous allegory, one of the greatest allegories in all literature,” with “its marvelous undermeaning! And its perfect duplicity.” Nevertheless, Lawrence kept his iconoclastic mojo working right up to the last word, ending with “that blue-eyed Wunderkind of a Nathaniel. The American wonder-child, with his magical allegorial insight.” This is the Lawrence I like to imagine writing on Brexit or brexit, not to mention 9/11, a spirited stylist on a roll, having shameless, wonderful, enlightening fun, cutting loose, damn the gatekeeper and full speed ahead. The Power of Mediocrity Writing on September 11, 2013, the last time we printed on Lawrence’s birthday, I quoted his sometime friend John Middleton Murray observing in 1956 that “Lawrence was alone in the depth of his prescience of the crisis of humanity which has developed since his death.” Although Murray was referring to World War II, Lawrence’s prescience extends not only to 9/11, it covers the Bush administration’s catastrophic invasion of Iraq (aided and abetted by W’s lapdog British PM Tony Blair), and the rise of Trump, the mad cartographer. Take this sentence from Part IV of Apocalypse: “They will only listen to the call of mediocrity wielding the insentient bullying power of mediocrity: which is evil. Hence the success of painfully inferior and even base politicians.” A few sentences later: “Society consists
of a mass of weak individuals trying to protect themselves, out of fear, from every possible imaginary evil, and, of course, by their very fear, bringing the evil into being.” The rough beast of the 21st century can even be read into the post-Great War opening paragraph of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, which ends, “We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.” Had Lawrence had been around on Sept. 11, 2001, what he’d have made of it could have gotten him in trouble had he gone the way of this passage from Mornings in Mexico: “I like to think of the whole show going bust, bang!—and nothing but bits of chaos flying about.... I like to think of the world going pop! ... When someone mysteriously touched the button, and the sun went bang, with smithereens of birds bursting in all directions.” But it’s just as likely he’d have come at the event with the grace and wonder of a passage from Fantasia of the Unconscious that calls to mind the annual resurrection of the towers in the form of two soaring shafts of blue light: “The living live and then die,” passing away “as we know, to dust and to oxygen and nitrogen” and perhaps “direct into life itself … direct into the living.” Lady Chatterley in Paris A few days ago, while looking online for a Brexit-Lawrence connection, I landed on the website of Catherine Brown, the vice-president of the Lawrence Society and head of the English Faculty at London’s New College. In Paris this May to attend the unveiling of a plaque at 60 Blvd Montparnasse, where Lawrence stayed in March-April 1929 while arranging for the publication of a cheaper edition of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Brown gave a talk on Lawrence and Brexit at the British Council. Her tour of the pertinent passages in the fiction and letters at catherinebrown. org is both fascinating and informative. Visitors to her site should also have a look at Brown’s no less fascinating and informative photo essay on Lawrence in Paris in 1929. Keeping Lawrence Home inally, there’s the Brexit-pertinent news of the crowdfunding campaign to keep a copy of Lady Chatterley’s Lover in the United Kingdom. The copy in question was previously owned and annotated by Sir Laurence Bryne, the judge who presided over the 1960 obscenity trial that opened the gates to Lawrence’s last and most famous novel after 30 years’ banishment. The catch is that the judge’s copy was sold to an overseas buyer at Sotheby’s last year for £56,250, which is how much English PEN will have to raise to keep Lady Chatterley in England. Remain? Or Leave? The UK arts minister Michael Ellis is taking no chances. He placed an export ban on the novel in order to keep the book in the United Kingdom. —Stuart Mitchner

Rehearsals Beginning For Trenton Children’s Chorus
Registration is now underway for the Trenton Children’s Chorus (TCC) open to all K-12 graders. For 30 years, TCC has offered musical, academic, social and personal growth opportunities for young people in the Greater Trenton Area. Located at West Trenton Presbyterian Church at 490 Grand Avenue in Ewing, TCC has five individual choirs grouped according to age. Rehearsals begin September 17 and are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons. Choir members can arrive as early as 3 p.m. to play games, do homework, or socialize with friends. Following a healthy snack,
K-8 graders rehearse from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. and 9-12 graders from 5:45 p.m. to 6 :45 p.m. TCC provides transportation to rehearsals for those students who would otherwise not be able to attend. TCC’s Learning Academy, which is held on Wednesdays, provides critical academic services that most successful school districts routinely provide, including diagnostic screening, individualized suppor t, and homework assistance. The Academy serves as a resource for all K-12 children to support their goals in school and beyond. In a city where the drop-out rate is over 30 percent, 100 percent of TCC choristers attend college. This year, TCC introduces two new initiatives. Fourth to eighth-graders who are enrolled with the Boys and Girls Club of Mercer County (BGC) can join TCC free of charge through the BCG after school program. In addition, through a unique partnership between TCC and The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), the Chorale choir (grades 9-12) will meet each week to rehearse with TCNJ students and experience life on a college campus. TCC has performed at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama, the United Nations, the National Cathedral, for the swearingin ceremony of former U.S. Representative Rush Holt at the Library of Congress, the inauguration of Governor Chris Christie, Princeton University, in concert with Bobby McFerrin and Dave Brubeck, and for corporate, community, church, and private events in the greater Trenton area. To learn more or register, call (609) 278-0822 or visit info@trentonchildrenschorus.org. Tuition is on a sliding scale. No child is ever denied participation because of limited resources.

Jazz Pianist to Play At Jacobs Music
T he Greater Pr inceton Steinway Society will present jazz pianist Tara Buzash in concert on Sunday, September 15, at 3 p.m. in the Recital Hall at Jacobs Music, 2540 Brunswick Pike (U.S. Route 1), Lawrenceville. A reception with refreshments and conversation with the performer will follow the performance. The program will feature jazz standards, jazz arrangements of contemporary songs, and original music. A pianist, composer, educator, and businesswoman, Buzash was one of eight young female jazz pianists from around the world chosen to perform at the 2011 Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival held at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center. She holds a Master of Music in jazz piano performance from Rutgers University, where she studied under Stanley Cowell and Conrad Herwig and won the Pee Wee Russell Jazz Scholarship. Buzash is a Watchfire Music Composer and the 2012 Grand Prize Winner of the New Jersey Arts Collective’s music composition contest. Buzash’s live music booking business, Sweet Harmony LLC, has doubled in size nearly every year since 2008 and expanded to serve states across America. In the community, Buzash pioneered a jazz concert series and a jazz piano scholarship competition for the Greater Princeton Steinway Society, where she serves on the board of directors. In the field of education, she has developed a specialized, rigorous program called “Buzash Total Piano” designed to enrich the student in both the classical and jazz worlds. After an extended cross-country music trip in her own motorhome, she returned to New Jersey to join Plainfield’s French School of Music as jazz piano Instructor, and now teaches jazz piano at Rutgers Community Arts in New Brunswick. Concert admission is $20 for individual nonmembers and $10 for full-time student nonmembers. The box office opens at Jacobs Music 30 minutes before each concert.

“KISSED & TOOTHLESS”: An installation exhibit by artist Dominica Paige, on display at MCCC’s James Kerney Campus Gallery through October 8, focuses on common personal objects grouped together to tell a story. An opening reception is Wednesday, September 18 from 5 to 7 p.m.
“Kissed & Toothless” on straddles the territory of Epicurean Palette at View at Kerney Gallery metaphor, myth, memory, Grounds For Sculpture A unique display of common objects, grouped together to tell a story, will be on display at Mercer Count y Com mu nit y College’s (MCCC) James Kerney Campus Gallery (JKCG) in the exhibit “Kissed & Toothless” by artist Dominica Paige. “The experience of looking at Dominica Paige’s installation work is like wandering through an estate sale of a home that had only one family for 100 years, but now the family is gone and the only record of their existence are these objects,” said JKCG Director Michael ChovanDalton. “There’s a sense of family, loss, adventure, and mysticism.” The show runs through October 8, with an opening reception and artist talk to be held on Wednesday, September 18, from 5 to 7 p.m. JKCG is located in MCCC’s Trenton Hall, 137 North Broad Street in Trenton, across the street from the James Kerney Building. Paige said the exhibit is created with personal objects she has obtained through the years, and presented to evoke a sense of reality rooted in the tangible, but altered by the fragility of human memory. “The manner in which my possessions are organized often creates fabricated versions of reality and calls into question our strategies for translating truth into narrative,” Paige said. “I write, restructure, and edit my experiences via the configuration of my collection. Sometimes the arrangements settle into a world that isn’t shifting and solidifies in a photograph. Other times the compositions continue to fluctuate as they are defined.” T he show consis ts of shelves and other displays with an arrangement of artifacts that might go unnoticed by themselves, but together reveal — or perhaps conceal — a story: a Polaroid photograph, playing cards, a handwritten letter, a dirty tea cup, a wedding ring. “The installations create stories — enigmas become disguised as assertions and truths take on the patina of forgery,” Paige said. “The viewer is a voyeur into my world where ever y t h ing
and veracity.” Chovan-Dalton adds that these tangible objects, things that we can see, touch, and feel, create a history — even if it is fictitious. In “Kissed & Toothless,” Paige leaves it up to the viewer to create their own narrative, and their own reality. “It is a three-dimensional family album that hints at a greater story of the lives of the people who lived in a place, and it is all fiction,” Chovan-Dalton said. “The objects, notes, images, and records that people create, collect, lose, and leave behind are meant to provide for a record of a life lived, but contemporary context and interpretation of evidence can never fully match the essence of who a person was and the stories that they made. “Paige’s installation challenges our trust and romantic ideals that we place in the records of our own history.” For more information, visit www.mccc.edu/JKCgallery.

Puerto Rican and Dominican artist, educator, writer, and social justice warrior, but most importantly, the second oldest of seven awesome smallmanzars. My passion and life work is to educate, critique, and examine how my people and culture are represented in the arts. My art and scholarship explore the intersections of Latinidad, feminism, decolonial practice, and Taino spirituality. I wake up every morning learning to embrace what it means to be ni de aqui y ni de alla. Everything I do is to help others like me feel united with the diaspora and discover the beauty and freedom that can exist in the margins.” The Rider University Art Gallery is located in the Bart Luedeke Center on Rider University’s campus, 2038 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrenceville. It is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.rider.edu/arts.

Battling 2 Top-10 Foes on Opening Weekend, No. 5 Princeton Field Hockey Pulls Out Split
P
laying in 90 degree heat as it opened its season at top-ranked North Carolina last Friday, the No. 5 Princeton University field hockey team got off to a sizzling start. Princeton jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the Tar Heels 21:47 into the contest on goals by freshman Sammy Popper and senior Taylor Nolan and built a 3-1 advantage by halftime as Popper added another tally. “We got off to a great start, we were very productive in the circle and we got a couple on the board,” said Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente. “We very close to getting a few more. I thought the energy was good, I thought we had a great game plan.We were ready. We weren’t polished or perfect by any means.” In the fourth quarter, UNC had a burst of energy, scoring three unanswered goals to pull out a 4-3 win over the Tigers. “It was a combination of our inexperience and our over-exuberance; I think we were trying to play to hold on to the lead,” said Tagliente, reflecting on the last seven minutes of the contest. “They did a nice job of increasing pressure, they pulled the goalie and added numbers to their attack. We didn’t help ourselves out.” But rebounding from the heartbreaking loss, Princeton came back two days later and edged Wake Forest 2-1 in double overtime in a game also played in Chapel Hill.
“It took a little emotional toll on them; I don’t think we came out particularly sharp in the Wake game,” said Tagliente. “In the second half, we picked things up a lot. At the end of regulation, it was 16-4 in shots for us. We were a little slow to get out of the gate. It is the second game on the road, it was 95 degrees down there. Credit to them, especially after the tough, emotional loss on Friday to be down for about half the game and to stick that out and then go through two overtimes. It is a pretty big confidence builder.” Senior goalie Grace Baylis showed her toughness in the win over Wake, turning away a penalty stroke in overtime. “That was big, especially after the UNC game where she gave up a stroke,” said Tagliente of Baylis who was later named the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week after getting three saves against UNC and four stops in the win over Wake. “The two strokes were almost in the same spot. She was in the right spot on the one against UNC, and somehow it deflected off and over her. For her to go through that and have that pressure, especially in the Wake game where it is game over if we get scored on; she made a great read and a great save on it.” Feeling the heat against the two Top-10 foes to open the season should help Princeton down the road. “We pretty much faced about every situation in hockey this weekend, other than a shoot-
out,” added Tagliente. “It was a great learning experience.” Tagliente learned that her defense needs to be tighter as it adjusts to the loss of senior star Maddie Bacskai to injury and 2018 Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year Elise Wong to graduation. “We have got a long way to go; it is the first weekend and we just need to clean things up,” said Tagliente. “It is so hard being the first weekend to open with the caliber of opponents that we are playing and have positive outcomes. They are two teams that play at a high pace and attack; they are going to give us every look in our defensive end that we can see this year. We have a ways to go in our backfield. I think we made great strides from Friday to Sunday, outletting in the back defensively and our organization back there. Without Maddie and filling in the holes of Elise, we just lack a little bit of presence and organization.” The Tigers did display presence at the attacking end. “In both games, we generated a lot of shots,” said Tagliente, whose team had 16 shots against UNC and 18 against Wake. “That is a good statistical marker. More of those shots will drop for us in the end. We had a lot of corners too. Our offense is a good place. We need to capitalize but that will happen.” Highly-touted freshman Popper didn’t waste any time capitalizing on her opportunities.
“Sammy was great; she is a goal scorer,” said Tagliente. “If we played her higher on the field, I think she would probably get more goals than maybe what she will get this season. She is playing a midfield striker for us. She had two great finishes on those goals against UNC. She had a fantastic opening weekend for herself, especially being a freshman playing in those games.” Sophomore Hannah Davey and junior Julianna Tornetta also sparked the Tiger attack over the weekend. “Hannah was steady the whole game against UNC, generating a lot of chances,” said Tagliente of Davey, who had a goal and an assist in the win over Wake. “Julianna played well. She is not in the statistical boxes in any way but she was very dangerous. She created a lot of attack for us as well.” Along the back line, sophomore standout Gabby Andretta was a calming force. “Gabby played well in the Wake game,” said Tagliente. “She shifted from outside back to playing center back the whole game and was phenomenal. She had a lot of great tackles in regulation and really saving tackles in overtime. For as much as we had chaos in the back, she was the most consistent Steady Eddie that we had back there.” Princeton will need some steady play to come up with wins as it hosts No. 20 Albany (1-2) on September 13 and No. 17 Penn State (0-3) on September 15. “Albany is a tough team to play in that they are very physi-
SPLIT DECISION: Princeton University field hockey player Hannah Davey goes after the ball in a 2018 game. Last Sunday, sophomore star midfielder Davey tallied a goal and an assist to help fifth-ranked Princeton edge No. 10 Wake Forest 2-1 in double overtime to wrap up its opening weekend. The Tigers, who fell 4-3 to No. 1 North Carolina on Friday to begin is campaign, host No. 20 Albany (1-2) on September 13 and No. 17 Penn State (0-3) on September 15. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) cal; it is not as high paced as the games we played this weekend,” said Tagliente. “It will be a vastly different paced game for us, they play more direct than the teams we are used to. It is going to be really night and day with the pace of the game against Penn State. They are very athletic, very fast,
and they want to play very fast. We are going to have to flip the switch between the games in terms of how we play and how we prepare. It is good for us to have the variety. Albany is a tournament team from last year and so is Penn State; it is great to have them on the schedule.” —Bill Alden

Parker Dixon is returning to Princeton University this fall with his first international volleyball experience. The senior from Dallas, Texas was selected as one of 12 players to compete for USA Volleyball at the World University Games in Naples, Italy. “It was a huge honor to be selected to this team,” said Dixon, the outside hitter who led the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) in total attacks last year. “There are a lot of great players around the country and to be selected as one of the ones to be able to represent the U.S. in this type of event is a huge honor. I was really excited to get that chance to go and put a USA jersey on and play.” D i xon and Te am USA didn’t have a lot of time together in preparation, but still went 2-2 in the 30th year of the University Games that were hosted by Italy in July. The U.S. finished third in Group B. “Overall we were kind of disappointed with the result,” said Dixon. “There are reasons we could not have played as well as we should have, but at the end of the day that doesn’t really matter. It’s just how we played on the court on the day of the match. A couple things here and there didn’t go our way. We weren’t necessarily happy with how we played, but I still enjoyed the experience of going.” In March, Dixon found out that he had been selected for the U.S. squad. He and Brett Wildman, a sophomore at Penn State, were the lone players chosen out of the EIVA. “At the beginning of the two weeks that we were there, our coach gave us some insight on the roster,” said Dixon. “He said he wanted to balance it out and get players from all the different conferences across the country. Everything was pretty well represented. I definitely took some pride in representing Princeton and our conference, and so did the other guy, I think.” The team assembled and flew to Italy where they had just a couple of practices before beginning the University Games. The U.S. opened with a 3-2 win over Korea and then defeated China 3-2 before falling to Russia and Portugal by 3-0 counts. In the quarterfinals, the U.S. lost 3 - 0 to Sw it zerland and concluded their showing with a 3-1 loss to Chile and a 3-0 loss to Argentina. Their inexperience together was hard to overcome. “We didn’t prepare at all,” said Dixon. “We just showed up in Italy, had a practice or two when we were there, and then we were just thrown into the fire. We went right into competition. All the other countries had been practicing with that group for a couple days if not weeks. We used a different type of ball than the NCAA uses. It moves a lot differently than the NCAA one does. It was a challenge to adjust.” It was also an adjustment in the level of play as the international game was an eye-opener.
“Overall the level was pretty high,” said Dixon. “Our coach told us the Russian team we played had three kids who were going to be on the Olympic roster next year so they were very, very good. He told us one of those three would actually be a starter. The biggest thing I noticed comparing it to a normal NCAA match, in order to earn points and get kills, you had to be aggressive. In college, you can get away with tips and some sneaky stuff like that. But at the World University Games, all that stuff would just get eaten up by the other teams. They would see a tip as a free ball and get it and convert it into a kill and smash it back down in your face. Everything else was somewhat comparable to the top NCAA teams — serving and hitting and things like that.” The U.S. team used its roster fairly equally so Dixon got more playing time than he anticipated. He hopes to incorporate the lessons from international play into his final college season. “I can take the whole experience, defensive intensity and mindset,” said Dixon. “It’s a pretty different game. In this one, the passing goal was just to get it where the setter could set the two pins. Getting a high ball swing would almost be considered a success because the serving was pretty tough. Whereas in an NCAA game, we’re trying to pass where we can run all three options and make it a perfect pass every time. What I’m looking forward to taking back the most is not seeing a bad pass as a failure. It’s still an opportunity to kill the ball and take aggressive out of system swings and get kills that way. That’s a viable way to win. That’s what all the best teams do there. Hopefully I can bring that back to the Princeton gym this fall.” The Tigers are coming off a landmark season. After a slow start, they finished 18-13 overall, posting the second-most wins in program history and capturing their second EIVA Championship and first since 1998. Princeton nearly knocked off Pepperdine in the NCAA quarterfinals after topping Barton 3-1 in the first round. “We’ll star t preseason practice a few weeks into school, let the freshmen get acclimated to being in college, being at a very tough school, and let them get their feet on the ground before we start running up all the volleyball stuff and taking up all their time,” said Dixon. “ We h ave s om e g o o d guys coming back and a really good class of freshmen coming in. If we could start working hard from the beginning of the season, we could do some really special things later on once the actual season rolls around. The preseason is the time to work on all that stuff, to get everyone’s rust shaken off and really start to figure out what’s going to work for us in terms of lineups and mentality. I feel like in the past couple years, we haven’t really figured that out until midway through the season almost. We don’t win a lot of games in the early part of the year.”
Last winter, Dixon was a big part of Princeton’s success. The honorable mention All-America and firstteam All-EIVA player had 368 kills. He ranked in the top 10 in kills, kills per set, hitting percentage, points and points per set. He will be counted on for more leadership as a senior. “There’s absolutely a lot more responsibility,” said Dixon. “There’s nobody else to look up to now. I’m the one that everyone else is going to look up to. It is a little pressure but I think I can definitely handle it and be a good senior for the other guys to look up to and lead the team and get it done.” Dixon’s teammates were thrilled that he was selected for Team USA as he had been through the U-19 national training camp before, but had not been selected. His play over the last couple of years at Princeton had helped earn him consideration and ultimately selection. “On this team, the World Universit y G ames team, there was one guy who just finished his freshman year and there was a guy who graduated a year ago,” said Dixon. “It was a bigger variety of age than the junior team which was just freshmen and sophomores in college. If you look at it that way, there would be some improvement there because there’s a larger pool of players to choose from.” Dixon’s role with Team USA was dif ferent t han

It was a big change from what he’s become accustomed to with the Tigers, but he adjusted well to helping the national team any way possible. “On the U.S. team, I could — not take more of a backseat — but everybody was ver y, ver y good and are used to being leaders on their own team,” explained Dixon. “On the Princeton team, I feel like I play a bigger role in terms of productivity. On the U.S. team, I wasn’t playing as much as I would play on the Princeton team so my role there was one of encouragement and supporting my teammates who were playing, not really feeling bad about myself for not playing, but accepting that other guys are good at volleyball too and they can get
kills and do good things too and I can encourage them and hype them up and make them play better. And if I do get the chance to play, go out and give it all I’ve got and don’t be sulking in the corner and all that stuff.” Dixon’s selection was a vote of confidence in his play. He will be working toward finishing his degree in operations research and financial engineering, but could delay using his degree if he tries to play volleyball professionally. “That team was important to the rest of my volleyball career,” said Dixon. “All the other guys there are trying to play pro and they’re talking to agents and doing all that. I’m not exactly sure I want to go down that path yet. I would say it’s a very good stepping stone
toward a pro career if I do go down that path.” In addition to taking advantage of a chance to see another level of volleyball on the international trip, Dixon also had a little time to do some sightseeing with the team. They saw plenty of Italian countryside on their way to games, traveled by ferry between other destinations, took a day trip to Pompeii and went to Naples for the Opening Ceremonies. “I’m extremely glad that I had the chance to go,” said Dixon. “It was a lot of fun to play volleyball at a very high level and be in Italy with a really fun group of guys from all over the country and get to know them and get away from my normal summer life. All in all, I was very happy to be able to go.” —Justin Feil

Star Defender Hewins Leaves It All on the Field, Helping Tiger Women’s Soccer Tie Rutgers 0-0 After it was over, Eve Hewins collapsed to the turf at Roberts Field, unable to stand up for several minutes. Hewins was demonstrating the effects of having played all 110 minutes for the Princeton Universit y women’s soccer team as it battled No. 21 and undefeated Rutgers to a scoreless draw through regulation and 20 minutes of overtime. Getting tended to by the trainer and gulping some Gatorade, junior defender Hewins finally got to her feet and reflected on the effort as the Tigers moved to 2-1-1. “It is a lot of running, it was hard,” said Hewins. “Competition-wise, I think that was our hardest one of the season. It was a rivalry game.” The Tigers were ready to play hard in the first matchup against their local rivals since 2015. “We weren’t happy with our record so far; we haven’t had many games yet but I think losing to Boston College on our own field [2-1 on September 1] really impacted us,” said Hewins, a native of Hingham, Mass. “Coming to this game, it is another top tier team. We came in with a chip on our shoulder, we wanted to show everybody that we aren’t the team that lost to BC.” Over the last 45 minutes of regulation, Pr inceton came hard at Rutgers, outshooting the Scarlet Knights 8-2. “In the second half, we def i n itely had a ton of chances,” said Hewins. “We are not satisfied because we should have scored on the chances that we had but I think we are proud of the effort that we put in.” In the overtime, the Tigers had to hold the fort as Rutgers built a 6-3 edge in shots during extra time. “That goes to show how hard we worked in the offseason fitness-wise and on our football,” said Hewins in assessing Princeton’s defensive effort. “We were catching up to a team that has been playing since August 1. We just got

here three weeks ago.” As a junior, Hewins is looking to make an impact with her skill and work ethic. “I came here as a forward, I was put on defense to also act as a forward and add numbers going in which was an interesting change,” said Hewins, a second-team All-Ivy League selection last fall. “As an upperclassman, it is important for me to show everyone how hard I work and hopefully that will channel to everyone else.” Hew ins has channeled something special in her par tnership on the back line with fellow junior Lucy Rickerson. “Lucy and I came in together, we have been playing next to each other on same line for two years now,” said Hewins. “We were talking on the
back line the other day and sometimes it feels like we can read each other’s minds because we practice together everyday.” With Princeton playing at No. 15 Georgetown (32-1) on September 12 and at Maryland (3-2-1) on September 15, Hewins and her teammates are looking to put things together against two more formidable foes. “We are super excited for Georgetown; we didn’t get the result we wanted last year,” said Hewins, referring to a 2-1 overtime loss to the Hoyas who went on to make the NCAA semis. “We are really looking forward to that game and then we play at Maryland. We have always thrived away so it will be interesting to see how the group here does traveling. We really haven’t had any trips yet other than when we went on the bus to St Joe’s. It will be a good experience.” —Bill Alden

also a hockey player, to running back; he has been really phenomenal so we are excited for him,” said Gallagher. “He has good solid backup in Jason, who is a real good player. Those are the tailbacks and then we have two wings in Moses and Dylan who we are really high on. They are doing a really great job at that wing spot. Lahahmoo is also going to be one of the running backs, he is a super fast kid.” Senior Matt Perello and junior Mike Spadea along with sophomores Everaldo and Dora Servil give the Tigers a solid receiving corps. “I think we have two really, really nice receivers; No. 1 we have one of the fastest guys in Mercer County as we were able to recruit Matt from the track team,” said Gallagher, noting that Perello did play football in his freshman year. “He has been focused on track, which is awesome, but he has bought in. He is really committed and we love having him. He will draw some double-teams and will free up other receivers. Then we have Mike on the other side. He is a big kid; he is going to play some wideout and tight end for us. He is coming off an injury last year. I know he is excited to play and he has done a really nice job in the preseason. Then we have the Servil brothers who will back those guys up.” Across the line, PHS will feature senior Fred Otte, senior Alexis Thomas, junior Kevin Davila, sophomore Giancarlo Momo, juniors Andreas Lambros, and Leo Alexandroff “We have two rising seniors, Fred is returning as a center and then another young man, Alexis, is a player who has done a really nice job for us,” said Gallagher. “He is just a really tough kid and a smart kid. We have junior who we think could be a really great two-way lineman in Kevin. He is a really
good ballplayer; he really committed over the summer and did a really good job. At our left tackle, we have a young player and a big kid, Giancarlo. We are happy with him. Our other tackle position is a little up in the air, we have two kids vying for that spot right now in Andreas and Leo, a transfer from England who is rugby player. He is going to be a good player.” Junior Jose Espinosa will be leading the defensive line along with Alexandroff, Davila, Avis, and Spadea. “We start with Jose at nose guard; he is going to be really good, he is fast,” said Gallagher. “Alexandroff and Davila are at the tackles. Our defensive ends will be Avis and Spadea.” At linebacker, Angelucci and Sanitzo figure to be the starters with Judd Petrone, the Servils, and Perello seeing action in the secondary. “Our inside backers will be our two wings Angelucci and Sanitzo,” said Gallagher. “Then we have an array of defensive backs, it could be Judd Petrone, the Servils, and Perello. In Gallagher’s view, keys to success this fall for the Tigers center on bolstering the passing game, spreading the wealth among the running backs, and taking care of the ball. “If you look at all of the touchdowns we scored last year, they were via the rush; we have to be able to throw the ball into the end zone this year,” said Gallagher. “We have some really skilled guys at the wide out and between both Petrones, we are going to get the ball to them. We have a lot of strong running backs. It is not a one-headed monster, it is really a three-headed monster. We are going to be able to split the carries up. I am concerned about turning over the ball so we have to keep the ball out of the

are definitely going to have our work cut out for us. They have run a single wing which we haven’t defended a lot.” No matter what happens on Friday, Gallagher believes the Tigers are headed in the right direction. “I don’t know how many games we are going to win, but I know we are a better team than in previous
years,” said Gallagher. “The program is better. We have had some really great athletes in the past but the way we are doing things right now is going to really reap benefits. If not this year, then in future years. We have a lot of juniors and a lot of sophomores. We will more competitive than in years past.” —Bill Alden

Having snapped a 21-game losing streak last September and ending up with two wins on the fall, the Princeton High football team is bringing an upbeat mentality into the 2019 season. “It is hard to compare preseasons to other preseasons, but this has been a really great preseason,” said PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher, whose team posted a 2-7 record in 2018. “It is well organized. The kids are there to learn and to compete, which has been really great.” With more kids in the program, the Tigers should be able to compete better this fall. “Right now we have about 41 on the roster, which is not too shabby,” said Gallagher. “We have about eight or nine in the freshman class. We don’t have a lot of seniors, but our junior class is pretty nice and so is our sophomore class. We are really confident in our starters; I think we can match up against a lot of teams in the area. Obviously injuries always play a big role; we are not the deepest team but we do have some really competent back-ups in key positions.” Gallagher is confident that senior Judd Petrone and his cousin, sophomore Jaxon Petrone, can get the job done at quarterback. “Jaxon has really blossomed,” said G allagher. “Judd is his older cousin and he has experience last year. He has grown a lot, he is one of our team leaders. He is going to be in the QB mix and he is also going to be playing wide receiver. He is also going to be one of our starting safeties. He is a real ballplayer for us.” At running back, senior Stephen Avis, sophomore Jason Ling, junior Moses Santizo, junior Dylan Angelucci, and sophomore Lahahmoo Pwee are all in the mix. “We are converting a right tackle, Stephen Avis, who is
other team’s hands. We can’t cough the ball up.” With PHS opening its season at Hightstown (0-1) on September 13, Gallagher knows his players will need to produce a strong effort to come away with a win. “It is a Friday night and we are excited about that,” said Gallagher. “They have some good ballplayers, we

After Breaking Through with 2 Wins in 2018, PHS Football Looking to be More Competitive

With Swanke Emerging as Offensive Force, PHS Field Hockey Rolls to a 2-0 Start Over her first three years with the Princeton High field hockey team, Morgan Swanke played mainly in the midfield. This fall, Swanke has been moved to forward and has quickly found a home in her new spot on the field. “I was really excited to play for my senior year,” said Swanke. “I usually play midfield but since I have started on forward this year, it has been a lot of fun.” Swanke got off to a sizzling start in the first week of her senior campaign, tallying four goals in a seasonopening 8-0 win over Nottingham last Wednesday and then adding two more in a 3-0 victory at crosstown rival Princeton Day School last Friday. In t he w in over PDS, Swanke got the Tigers on the board, scoring off of a penalty corner with 11:26 left in the first half. “I think we have really good transitions from defense to midfield to forward,” said Swanke, reflecting on her tally. “Our midfielders do a really good job of clearing it into the space around the goal and then the forwards can tap it in. We have a really good dynamic and that is how we get goals in.” Early in the second half, Swanke struck again on a penalty stroke, firing the ball into the top corner of the goal over and past PDS goalkeeper Lexie Hausheer. “I love strokes but I always
get really nervous when I am chosen to do it,” said Swanke. “I always have a technique where I look the other way and just take a stroke. It is really fun to do it, I think it is one of my favorite parts of field hockey.” PHS head coach Heather Serverson is having fun seeing Swanke’s development into an offensive force this fall. “I have been moving Morgan around a lot and she is clicking at forward,” said Serverson. “It is fantastic and all of a sudden, she has this amazing stroke. She has been doing a great job and her defensive game has also picked up. Everything is coming together for her.” It was fantastic for PHS to break through against star goalie Hausheer. “I am just so happy that we could score three goals against that goalkeeper,” said Serverson “That girl is good, she is amazing. I am pleased with our ability to score against her. I think we just really figured out the what they were playing defensively and took advantage of it.” The Tiger defense, on the other hand, stifled the Panthers, led by sophomore back Grace Rebak and senior goalie Grace Cooke. “G-Bak is really solid on the back line, she is so calm and poised all of the time,” said Serverson. “It is unique for her age; she provides a calm for the
rest of the defenders back there. Her consistency and her communication, along with Cookie’s, just keeps everything even-keeled.” Having dealt with some turbulence in August, Serverson believes her team is calming down collectively. “We had to make some adjustments in the preseason, we had quite a few obstacles to overcome,” said Serverson, whose team hosts Steinert on September 12 before playing at Lawrenceville on September 14. “It has been tricky, we just had to settle in. People are finally settling in their area on the field; they are learning how their teammates around them play and reading that better. That is the key.” Swanke, for her part, believes that PHS can get better and better as the season unfolds. “What we are doing right now is really good, we have had a really good start,” said Swanke. “In the future, it is just working on the team dynamics and making better passes. Our team is fairly new, we lost a lot of seniors from last year.” —Bill Alden

Qualified Retirement Plans and Accounts

cash flow. For example, a fifty-year-old couple with combined income of $300,000 might shoot for 70% income in retirement – i.e.,SIMPLE $210,000.

As Junior Petruso Displays Finishing Touch, PHS Boys’ Soccer Tops Nottingham in Opener Nick Petruso was determined to get the season off on the right foot for the Princeton High boys’ soccer team. As PHS hosted Nottingham in its season opener last Thursday, junior striker Petruso took off on several runs to the goal in the first half but couldn’t find the back of the net. “In the beginning it was frustration,” said Petruso. “Towards the end of the first half, we started getting more chemistry going forward.” With 3:26 left in the first half, Petruso took advantage of that chemistry, breaking through with a goal on a header off a corner kick by Drew Petrone. “I ended up get ting a header off of a corner, I saw the ball coming to my head,” recalled Petruso. “I put my hands up after I hit it, I saw it going right in.” That goal gave PHS a spark as it lifted its play at both ends of the field, going on to a 2-0 win over Nottingham “In the second half, I think our defense was doing a lot better,” said Petruso. “Going forward, we kept the ball more which led to our second goal.” Coming through in the opener was a lift for a PHS program that is coming off a frustrating 2018 campaign that saw it stumble early on postseason play. “After last year, we want to do a lot better, starting with a win is great,” said Petruso. Petruso is looking to do better in terms of his finishing. “I am just trying to get as many goals as possible,” said Petruso, who tallied two goals in a 7-3 loss to Gill St. Bernard’s last Saturday. “I have been improving my shot from freshman year. I had been skying it but now I am taking that under control.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe believed his team seized control of the contest against Nottingham in the latter stages of the first half “I thought we grew into the game,” said Sutcliffe. “The guys found a way to have a little more of the ball in the latter 20 minutes of the first half.” Sutcliffe credited Petruso with finding ways to make things hard on the Nottingham defense. “Nick was getting in; we
hope that he will continue to be dangerous like that,” said Sutcliffe. “It was a great header, it was also good service from Drew Petrone.” Junior goalie Jared Bell came up big in dealing with some dangerous Northstar forwards. “Jared had a good game, Nottingham has some guys who are very strong,” said Sutcliffe. “Jared was tested, he passed the test. Getting a clean sheet, that is what it’s all about for us.” The pair of senior Noah LaPoint and junior Rafa Davis produced a strong performance on the back line. “Noah LaPoint had a very good game in the center as did Rafa at right back,” said Sutcliffe. “With Noah you can just feel his leadership. He was the only senior on the field for us. Rafa has really es-
tablished himself all preseason.” Beating Nottingham should help PHS establish itself as a formidable team “To win the first game of the season and have a good performance, it couldn’t be better,” said Sutcliffe. “I am really happy for the guys. We have put a lot of work in.” Looking ahead, Sutcliffe wants his team to work better around the goal. “I think on the attacking end, it is just being able to keep the ball better and build through the middle and combining more,” said Sutcliffe, whose team plays at Robbinsville on September 12. “When we have the ball, it is keep it simple.” Petruso, for his part, sees building unity as a key to success for the Tigers. “ We n e e d m or e te a m bonding and to increase our chemistry,” said Petruso. “It is getting to know each other more.” —Bill Alden

Heather Farlow could have been disappointed after her Princeton Day School field hockey team lost 3- 0 to crosstown rival Princeton High last Friday. Instead, PDS head coach Farlow was all smiles as she assessed the effort she got from her young squad. “We played the passing game that we wanted to play; we had possession,” said Farlow, whose team dropped to 1-1. “I think we are only going to get better, A.B. [assistant coach Annabeth Donovan] and I are really excited about where we are. It is only September 6 and we lost five starters from last year.” Farlow saw some better play at the defensive end of the field as PDS battled a high-powered PHS attack. “Compared to Tuesday’s game (a 1-0 win Mount Saint Mary Academy), our defense improved; we were reading lanes and stuff,” said Farlow. “We just haven’t gone over stuff yet because they are so young. They are just
going to continue to move forward. With more veteran players, you don’t have to cover everything because they already know it.” One of the team’s battletested veterans, senior goalkeeper and four-year starter Lexie Hausheer made several superb saves to help keep PDS in the game. “Lexie come up big, she reads the play well and is just such a smart goalie,” said Farlow. “She saved us lot, she gives the other players confidence.” Going forward, Farlow is looking for her young squad to develop more confidence at the offensive end. “We just need to work on our short game, like in golf,” said Farlow, whose team plays at Stuart Country Day on September 12 before hosting Robbinsville on September 16. “We just have to finish. We knew that was something that we were going to have to work on because we lost our finishers from last year.” —Bill Alden

Benefitting from Unselfish Mentality Last Fall, Hun Boys’ Soccer Aiming to Continue Progress
Fueled by an unselfish mentality, the Hun School boys’ soccer team produced a solid campaign last fall, going 9-10 and advancing to the state Prep A semifinals. As Hun starts the 2019 season, Pat Quirk is hoping that attitude has become a staple of the program. “I think what the kids returning from last year learned is that everybody has to be playing together,” said Hun head coach Quirk. “The one thing we praised last year was that there wasn’t anybody with a big ego. They were OK with another kid scoring as long as
the team was playing well together.” Hun boasts a large contingent of returners and some key newcomers. “We have had a lot of kids come out so it is a very competitive preseason for us,” said Quirk, whose team started regular season play by falling 3-1 to Haddonfield High last Saturday. “The kids are playing with a lot of high energy. We have a lot of talent on the varsity level, I would say this is one of the deepest teams we have had in a while.” At forward, the quartet of junior Amar Anand, sopho-
more Lucas Mazzoni, senior Luke McManimon, and junior George Bailey gives Hun some good depth up top. “Amar wasn’t with us in preseason this year, he was over in Spain training with a club team there,” said Quirk. “I had known that last spring and I am expecting him to do things up top. Lucas has been showing up a lot in camp. He plays with a lot of heart and effort; he has good speed and a good left foot. Luke, who played a little bit up there last year, is a senior leader. George has been in our program a
couple of years, he will look to play up top some also.” In the midfield, the Raiders are looking strong with a group that includes senior Tishe Olaleye, junior Jack Tarzy, junior Levin Sanchez Wi l l e m s, s e n ior G ib s on Campbell, freshman William Zihang Zheng, sophomore John Balian, and sophomore Osman Bayaztoglu “ We h av e T i s h e w h o played there last year with Elijah Smarr,” said Quirk. “Jack will probably play some in the midfield and then we got Levin who came to us from the Dominican Republic and has been looking really good in the midfield for us. Those are center mids. Gibson has been playing outside mid and Zheng has been playing a little bit out wide. John and Osi could play any of those positions in the midfield as well.” Senior Brian Spencer figures to lead the back line along with classmates Jake Marcin and Chris Antar, freshman Tyler Stark, junior
Aiden Spektor, and sophomore AJ Torres “This is Brian’s four th year playing center back, he started as a freshman,” said Quirk. “He was a little banged up coming into the preseason but he played in the last scrimmage and really controlled the back line. Jake played a lot for us last year in the back. Chris is going to play a little defense as well. Tyler will see some good minutes, probably in the back. Aiden came up with us towards the end of the season, he may play in the back or the midfield. A.J. will probably give us some good energy off the bench.” At goalkeeper, junior Alex Donahue has made good progress and is ready to step into the starting spot. “Alex put in a lot of work this summer to really fill a role, we are pretty confident with him playing the goal,” said Quirk. “He is really good with
his feet, he is really good on the line and reaction saves. He is working on coming out and being a little more aggressive in the air. He is willing to put work in to get better.” Early on, Quirk likes the work rate he is seeing from his players. “The kids are playing with a lot of high energy,” said Quirk, whose team faces Putnam Science Academy in the Main Line High School Jamboree at the United Sports Center on September 15 and hosts Pennington on September 17. “We had a scr immage against Lawrence and the other coach said we are at another level of energy. That is reassuring. If we can do that for 80 minutes, that would be great. The guys coming off the bench need to make sure that they are keeping the energy where it is or maybe bringing it up a little bit when they step on the field.” —Bill Alden

Mary Virginia ‘Gina’ Everhard Tillett Wilson Mary Virginia ‘Gina’ Everhard Tillet t Wilson died peacefully at her Princeton home on September 1, 2019 with her children comforting and thanking her. Born during a rare spring snowstorm April 2, 1924 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Gina was lovingly devoted to her family and friends. They were her greatest pleasure. She was raised to become a woman of boundless energy and good will, by her parents, Dr. Will D. and Helen (Lowry) Everhard with her brothers Bill and Bob. She graduated from John Harris High School and attended Penn State. In June of 1945 she married Paul D. Tillett Jr., the brother of Bob’s best friend. They moved to Washington, DC, and then to Chicago, where Paul earned his law degree. In 1950 their friend, H.H. Wilson (Hube), brought Paul to the Politics Department at Princeton, where he earned a PhD. Paul and Gina were immediately active with schools, civil liberties, civil rights, and local politics. In 1957 Paul became associate director of the Eagleton Institute at Douglass College. They remained in Princeton and eventually bought their dream home on Ewing Street in 1961. The house was part of the 1958
March for Jobs and Freedom in Washington, DC. She was active in the PTA, a room mother, a helpful neighbor, a poll watcher for 30 years, a volunteer driver, and a member of many civic groups. Gina loved to travel. Most school vacations with the family involved swimming and camping in state and national parks in 46 states and Mexico. Later, she traveled with her children and grandchildren on special trips to Canada, the Caribbean, India, Nepal, and Europe. Her trips with friends included Japan, Thailand, Greece, and the second public tour of China in 1978. She especially enjoyed traveling with Paul’s sister Nancy, and with her cousin Helen Plone, who were like her sisters growing up. She never complained for herself. She fought for the underdog and under-represented. Demanding her voice be heard, she had the most polite way of making her point. Eastern Airlines discovered that she could not be dismissed. Through difficult times, G i n a a n d Pau l e nj oye d life. She said, “What choice did we have? ” They were role models to other parents raising children with disabilities. They made wonderful friends everywhere they lived. In Princeton the Allens, Darrows and Jacobs were the core of friends who enjoyed near weekly dinner parties and dancing into the wee hours to Armstrong, Basie, Ellington, and Sinatra. Children were always welcome at the table, in discussions, and at parties. She is loved dearly by four grandchildren. She deeply influenced them growing up. They know a bathing suit goes into your suitcase first, to always find the best parking spot, to take a good swim, and to love ice cream and chocolate covered nuts. The family is extremely grateful for the extraordinary care she received from her wonderful caregivers during this past year. She is sur vived by her sister-in-law Nancy (Tillett)
Albright; son Jeff Tillett; daughters Susan Tillett and Meg Tillett Trendler (Gary); grandchildren Jessie Tillett, Shelby Tillett Gallo (Matteo), Jody Trendler ( Eli Lotz ), Paul Trendler (Sarah); and great-grandchildren Amerie Tillett, Odin Trendler, Selah Trendler, and Micah Lotz, along with many nieces and nephews. She lived through many tragedies and hardships with grace and humor, and she would tell you she lived a charmed life. A memorial service with ice cream will be held on October 12, at 11 a.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, 50 Cherry Hill Road. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CONTACT of Mercer County (www.contactofmercer.org) or The Seeing Eye (www.seeingeye.org/youcan-help).
Ellen Viner Seiler Ellen Viner Seiler, who lived most of her 94 years in Princeton, died on August 31 at Stonebridge at Montgomery in Skillman. A career woman before t h e fe m i n i s t m o v e m e n t m ad e it com m on, E l l e n was editor of publications at Princeton Universit y’s Inter nat ional E conom ics Section (formerly the International Finance Section) from 1971 to 1990, and before that managing editor at Public Opinion Q ua r te rly at P r i n c e to n from 1958 to 1968. She also worked at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York and The American Sociologist at Northwest-
ern University, as well as at other publications. “My father, Jacob Viner, was a longtime professor at the University of Chicago before he came to Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study,” Ellen recalled in 2004, “so I was born in Chicago and am mostly a product of the University of Chicago Lab Schools.” She also spent two years at the International School in Geneva, Switzerland, as a child. E llen’s years at Sm it h College exactly coincided with the American involvement in World War II. After graduation, she worked in Paris as a translator for the Organization for European Economic Cooperation before moving to New York City in the late ‘40s, where she worked as an editor at McGraw-Hill and enjoyed the city’s vibrant cultural and social life. She married Frederick E. Seiler III, a publisher and editor, in 1954, mov ing from New York to Princeton, where her fat her a nd h is w ife Fra nce s Vi ner were l iv ing already. Of their early years in Pr inceton Ellen later recalled, “We made many friends and had a lot of fun.” A politically active progressive Democrat, Ellen got involved in the civ il rights movement by helping to write and edit a newsletter for the Princeton Association of Human Rights (PAHR). She was a member of the Princeton Committee of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and a lifelong member of the League of Wom en Voter s. S he co wrote the short documentar y film The Princeton Plan : Fifty Years Later, a n or a l h i s tor y of h ow Princeton integrated its elementary schools in 1948 through busing, becoming the national model when many school administrators — most notably the New York City Board of Education — adopted it. E llen event ually fou nd herself involved in so
many causes that she kept a bumper sticker that said, “Stop me before I volunteer again!” She was a skilled raconteur and will be remembered for her terrifically funny anecdotes, her love of NPR and PBS, and her fondness for theater, classical music, and t he American (and French) pop music of her youth. Even in her final weeks, and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, she could manage a chorus of Charles Trenet’s song Je Chante. In addition to her family, Ellen maintained connections her entire life with a long list of friends in the United States as well as Great Britain and Europe . Her friends were enormously important to her, as well as their spouses and children, and she kept up with all of them with great interest and enthusiasm. Ellen was predeceased by her parents and husband, and by her brother, Arthur W. Viner and his wife, Ann Welch Viner, and sisterin-law Dorothy Compton. She is survived by daughter Margaret, of Northampton, Mass. (Leonard); son Andy of Washing ton, DC ( Su san ) ; t wo grandchildren, Julia Melnick and William Melnick; two step grandch i ldren, E m i ly Mel n ick and Alison Melnick Dyer; and two step great-grandchildren. She is also survived by a nephew and two nieces and their children. The family would like to thank Anne Allen for her extraordinary companionship with and care of Ellen in her final years, as well as the staff at Springpoint at Home and Stonebridge. In lieu of flowers, donat ions in E llen’s memor y may be made to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the League of Women Voters, or the Alzheimer’s Association. A memorial service will be held on Saturd a y, N o v e m b e r 9 a t 1 p.m . at S to n e b r i d g e at Montgomery in Skillman, New Jersey.

Maplecrest integrated housing development. In the ’50s and early ’60s Gina worked for George Gallup at Gallup & Robinson. After Paul died in 1966, she worked for Tony Cline, the Director of Research at ETS. She retired after 20 years. Well before retiring, she trained as volunteer for CONTACT, the Mercer County crisis and suicide hotline. She took overnight shifts, and enjoyed the intrinsic value of volunteering and making a difference in peoples’ lives. She became a volunteer trainer, helped write the training manual, and enthusiastically served on the board. Her 27 years with CONTACT also gave h e r t h e opp or t u n it y to make more lifelong friends and travel to conferences in South Africa and Australia. In 1969, she married her good friend Hube Wilson and later moved to his home in Solebury, Pennsylvania. Gina was a gracious hostess, entertaining her husbands’ colleagues, guest speakers, graduate students, politicians, her book club friends, and extended family. Among her guests were those who fought to oppose t he House Un -A mer ican Activities Committee, the House Inter nal S ecur it y Committee, and the abuses of the FBI. They succeeded in closing those committees and brought about passage of the Freedom of Information Act. In the late ’70s and ’80s, Gina served on the board of the National Committee Against Repressive Legislation (NCARL), which continued the effort to protect civil liberties and dissent. A civil liberties and civil rights activist, she believed in individual and civil responsibilities. For Gina, it was not enough to talk, she had to show up. She lived it. Her moral compass was strong and true. She gave generously to civil rights, consumer rights, educational, environmental, and sane nuclear policy causes. She supported common decency.

Obituaries Continued from Preceding Page
Bernard Caras Bernard Caras, 90, passed away on August 28, 2019 at Princeton Medical Center. Bernie was born on July 18, 1929, in Lawrence, MA. He grew up in the larger Boston area, and graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1951 with a degree in Physics. While studying at RPI, he met Phyllis Jackson, whom he married in 1953, shortly after getting his Masters in Physics. Bernie worked for Sylvania Electric after graduation, and shortly after moving to the Glenn L Martin Company in Baltimore, Maryland, he was one of three Americans invited to join Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace program (the International School of Nuclear Science and Engineering). His participation in the program required him to move his family 11 times in 16 months. As part of this program, Bernie received a post-doctoral degree. After the program ended, the Caras family moved to New York where he worked at Radiation Research in Manhattan for a few years. Bernie and his family then moved to
Princeton in 1959, where he lived for the next 60 years. Bernie was an active participant in his community. He was a member of the Jewish Center for over 60 years, and in his years at the Jewish Center, served as House Committee Chairman and a member of the Board of Directors along with being an active and participating member of the synagogue. He was Chairman of the Princeton chapter of the IEEE and a member of the American Vacuum Society, along with being a member of many other professional organizations. While Bernie was trained as a physicist, he found his professional calling as an engineer. In the recent past, he worked for companies like Burroughs Corporation, Bell Labs, and Princeton Optronics. He often served in the role of “troubleshooting engineer,” helping advance and fix technology. Despite building such technology, he maintained his own ways of doing things, joking that he could build and fix a computer, but he couldn’t use one. The funeral was held Friday, August 30, 2019 at the Jewish Center in Princeton, NJ. Contributions in his memory can be sent to the Jewish Center at 435 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08540. He is pre-deceased by his son Edward, and survived by his wife, Phyllis, his daughter Jana (Mark) Gelernt, his son Jay (Randi) Caras, and grandchildren Anya (Ezra) Gelernt-Dunkle, Eva Gelernt, Edward Gelernt, and Avi Caras. May his memory be for a blessing.
Andrew Spencer Bruno Andrew Spencer Bruno, 87, died September 5, 2019, in Cranbury, NJ. Spencer was born in New York City, the son of Andrew and Olive Bruno. He enjoyed his youth playing baseball in Central Park, going to Yankee games, and attending The McBurney School. He then matriculated at Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA, where he met his future wife, Elise Mueller. Upon graduation and marriage, the couple completed Spencer’s military obligation at Ft. Hood, Texas. Returning home to New Jersey, Spencer was employed by Gallup and Robinson, where he learned the art of marketing. He then worked in New York at Compton Advertising for ten years. In 1970, he started his own business, Spencer Br uno Research A ssociates, which continues today as Bruno and Ridgway Research Associates. In 1976, Spencer and his family were part of a group that founded Windsor Chapel. His other interests were golf, at Springdale and Peddie Golf Clubs, and opera. He was on the board of Boheme Opera NJ for many years. He leaves to mourn him his wife of 64 years, Elise, and his family.

His greatest joy was being a grandfather to Harry and Dorothy Waskow. Walter was a devoted and loving son, husband, father, and grandfather. He enjoyed
a full life that included extensive travel, sailing in the Virgin Islands and on the Chesapeake Bay, f lying, rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies, and entertaining his friends and family with his quick wit and never-ending jokes.

FALL LEAVES
AND
GUTTER MAINTENANCE
An important (but frequently and easily forgotten) task in the Fall is ensuring your home’s gutters are clear of leaves and other debris. Gutters protect many parts of your home, including windows, siding, foundation - even your basement. Their main purpose is to provide runoff from rain and melting snow, so that it drains away from your house. You can hire a gutter-cleaning service (which typically costs around $100, depending on the size and number of stories of your home) or you can do it yourself. (Note: If you do decide to take this task on by yourself, be sure to put safety first! This is definitely a project for a day with nice, calm weather; do not attempt to clear your gutters when it is raining, windy or damp.) Some of the tools you will need to get the job done include: a sturdy ladder, heavy-duty gloves (to protect yourself from sharp edges), and safety goggles (to protect your eyes from debris.) First, you will need to scoop out all large debris, before using either a garden hose or blower to get the smaller particles of remaining dirt and debris out of the way to create a clear, unobstructed path for water to flow freely away from your home and yard.
Hunting is generally permitted every day starting one half hour before sunrise and ending one half hour after sunset, except for Saturdays, when no hunting is allowed between 10 am and 2 pm; and Sundays and Christmas Day, when no hunting whatsoever is allowed. In addition, no hunting is allowed other than from an elevated stand, or within 20 yards of any road or trail, and no hunting is allowed with a firearm. Warning signs will be posted at the entrances to each of the properties that will be hunted. All State and local regulations pertaining to parks and to hunting will remain in full force and effect and will be enforced by the Princeton Police Department. Any violation of these regulations will be grounds for terminating all hunting activities. Anyone with questions or concerns should contact either the Princeton Clerk’s office at (609) 924-5704, or the Chief of Police at (609) 921-2100. Bow hunting includes the use of crossbows as well as regular bows.
