D&R Greenway Land Deal Preserves Historic Farmland In Sourlands Region

A 116-acre property in Hopewell Township dating back more than two centuries has been preserved, linking three counties and boosting the total acreage that D&R Greenway Land Trust has preserved since 1989 to 20,000 acres. The historic Schwinn farm on HopewellAmwell Road is near the historic Lindbergh estate and the 700-acre Sourlands Ecosystem Preserve. The expanse includes about 20 acres open to the public, and its trails will connect to a large network of neighboring protected lands. “It was like putting together the pieces of a puzzle,” said Jay Watson, D&R Greenway vice president. “This property offers us the potential to connect from Somerset and the corner of Hunterdon all the way through to the northeast corner of Mercer County. We’re doing a lot of work in the Sourlands. It’s a priority preservation area, so any time we get an opportunity to preserve land there, we go after it.” Between May and September 2017, D&R Greenway put together a deal to acquire the land. The Schwinn family, which owned the property, had wanted to preserve it, but needed to sell. The connection was made to D&R just in time. “With a September 1 deadline looming, and a development-oriented purchaser preparing to swoop in on the property, D&R Greenway rose to the challenge to get the deal done fast,” reads a press release on the transaction. “The compressed time frame demanded nimble footwork to get around obstacles to conventional preservation — most significantly the absence of public funds available on short notice.” “In a few very short months, we were able to identify a conservation buyer and arrange the necessary bridge financing, while accomplishing all the necessary due diligence to protect the property with a conservation easement,” said Linda Mead, D&R Greenway president and CEO. The Schwinns had made the farm a home to sheep that grazed the hillsides. The setting was the inspiration for Ruth Schwinn’s two children’s books, Henry the Lamb and Henry the Dale. “When you think about the people who came before us, their blood, sweat, and tears shed to preserve themselves, their families and their strongly held beliefs, you cannot Continued on Page 8

Paul Muldoon Awarded Queen’s Gold Medal

Paul Muldoon, Princeton University creative writing professor in the Lewis Center for the Arts and director of the Princeton Atelier, will be awarded Her Majesty’s Gold Medal for Poetry for 2017 by Queen Elizabeth II in an upcoming ceremony. A native of Ireland, Muldoon is only the second Irish poet to be honored with the award in its 83-year history, after Michael Longley in 2001. Muldoon has lived mainly in the United States for the past 30 years, teaching at Princeton since 1987 and serving as The New Yorker poetry editor since 2007. He has published 13 books of poetry and won many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize in 2003. The Poetry Medal Committee recommended Muldoon for the award on the basis of the body of his work. “Paul Muldoon is widely acclaimed as the most original and influential poet of the past 50 years and is rightly celebrated alongside Seamus Heaney,” said Britain’s Poet Laureate Dame Carol Ann Duffy, according to the Irish Times. “His poetry displays a restful playful brilliance, forever searching for new ways to channel his ideas and new language to dress them in. He is ambitious, erudite, witty, and musical. He can experiment with form and stand tradition on its head, craft a tender elegy or inti-

mate love poem with equal skill. His work is of major significance internationally — poetry of clarity, invention, purpose, and importance which has raised the bar of what’s possible in poetry to new heights.” Muldoon described the award as a recognition of his poetry and also of the favorable political climate between England and Ireland. “I take this award to be an acknowledgment of the impact of a few of my poems,

of course,” he wrote in a email. “I’ve been writing for 50 years now. Much of the time I think my poems are rubbish. That’s one of the curses of being a writer. From time to time I wonder if they might be okay. This is one of those times.” Emphasizing the significance of the political context, he continued, “This award is also an acknowledgment of the complexity of Anglo-Irish affairs and an indicator of what are, just now, excellent Continued on Page 8

Griggs Farm Fire Kills One Woman, Displaces 35 Residents of Complex A two-alarm fire that started Wednesday night, December 27, on the top floor of a three-story apartment building at the Griggs Farm complex on Billie Ellis Lane, took the life of a 73-year-old woman and displaced 35 residents. Larisa Bartone, who lived at 21 Billie Ellis Lane, died in the fire. An investigation into the cause of the blaze was ongoing at press time last Friday. The Princeton Police Department, Princeton Fire Department, Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, and multiple fire departments from the area responded

to the scene. It was brought under control in about 45 minutes, said Robert Gregory, director of Princeton’s Office of Emergency Management. The building has 24 apartments and is one of several that are part of the Griggs Farm development, which provides affordable housing and is managed by Princeton Community Housing.

One Fought; the Other Protested: Two Men Recall Their Vietnam Experiences

After watching the initial episode of Ken Burns’s documentary The Vietnam War at Princeton Public Library last month, Lewis Maltby was leaving the library’s Newsroom when he was approached by a man who looked to be of a similar age. The man asked Maltby

Because most of us don’t talk a lot about the nitty gritty to our families.” Maltby was one of the only other men in the room. “I went to the first episode.

He went on to beFURNISHINGS HOME HOME FURNISHINGS come a civil rights lawyer and is an active member of the Coalition for Peace Action. Both men are longtime Pr inceton residents, but had never met. Struck by the depth of their initial chat, they approached the library’s programming director Janie Hermann following the screening of the second episode. As a result, Maltby and Wright will be on hand for the presentation of Episode Four: Resolve on Wednesday, January 10 at 10:30 a.m. (the entire series is being screened at the library through the end of February). “I think the hope is that after the screening we will start a little discussion,” said Wright. “We are there to just get the ball rolling. It’s an open discussion.” Wright had watched the documentary on television, but attended the librar y showings because he was anxious to see it on a large screen. “You get a lot more out of it when you can see all of that background stuff, which I’m interested in,” he said. After serving in Vietnam, Wright ended up returning to Asia, getting a master’s degree in journalism, and 6 Coryell Street becoming a reporter for the Hong Kong Standard.

It was one of those chance encounters that, if you’re of that mindset, it’s karma.”

WRAPPING IT UP: Princeton Montessori School students and their families donated toys, hats, and mittens for the school’s annual Holiday Giving Drive, which ended December 15 at the school’s Cherry Valley Road campus. Toys were collected in bins throughout the school and hats and mittens were hung on the “Giving Line” garland in the foyers. The donations went to The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey, which protects abused and neglected children, and the CYO of Mercer County. The drive taught the children how their small efforts can have a big impact on the lives of others.

to me and said, ‘Hey, were you there?’” Maltby and Wright ended up in conversation, but it was “exactly the opposite of what I was concerned it would be,” Maltby said. “It was more about, ‘why did you make the choice you made, what was it like for you, and how do you feel about it now?’ It was a comparison of the two roads that each of us had taken. It wasn’t about who picked the right road. It was so fascinating a conversation that I thought other people who are interested in those times — especially those who weren’t around to experience it first-hand — might like to talk about the documentary and two people who were there, and took different roads.” Wright said, “Lew was worried we’d get into an argument. And that says a lot about this great void that exists between war veterans and the rest of the community, and Princeton is a microcosm of that. There are a lot of misconceptions about veterans.” Have Maltby and Wright become f r iends ? “We’re on the road to becoming friends,” said Maltby. Their appearance on January 10 “is not supposed to be a debate. It’s a discussion for people interested in the era, to learn more about what it was like.” “The Vietnam War” is being screened through February 28 in the library’s Newsroom. “When we plan programs on difficult historical topics like the Vietnam War, we hope that people make connections like this and the library can be a space for dialogue,” said Humanities Program Coordinator Hannah Schmidl. “We’re really pleased that Lew and Ashley met each other and volunteered their time to participate in this discussion.” —Anne Levin

There were long lines last week outside the tax collection office, filling the hallway of Princeton’s Municipal Building. But even after waiting for almost an hour, the early taxpayers were patient and mostly upbeat, no doubt buoyed by the prospect of saving maybe a few hundred, maybe thousands on their taxes. Hoping to cash in for the last time on the federal deduction on tax payments that will be capped at $10,000 in 2018 under the new tax code signed two weeks ago by President Trump, those prepaying plan to claim their payments on their 2017 federal income tax returns. But it’s not clear if the IRS will allow all of the deductions claimed. Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday issued an executive order directing municipalities to accept prepayments for at least the first and second quarters of 2018. Tax payments in person, according to the town website, were due by 5 p.m. on December 28, since municipal offices were closed on Friday, and mailed payments had to be postmarked before the end of the year on Sunday. Also last Wednesday, the I.R.S. announced that those prepayments could be deducted only by paying property taxes that have been assessed in 2017 — an issue for many localities in states with high taxes and property values where local tax offices have been swamped with early tax payers and assessments for 2018 have not been delivered. Tax payers in Princeton, however, have had assessments for the first two quarters in hand for several months. Most of the 40-50 people in line last Thursday morning were ready with their checks and their assessment bills for the first two quarters. Finally approaching the front of the line after waiting

about 45 minutes, Joan DeStaebler of Humbert Street didn’t know if her effort would be rewarded. “Will it save me money? It might,” she said. She had read on the municipal website that since she wanted to prepay for more than one quarter, she needed to mail or bring payment to the office before 5 p.m. Thursday. In line behind DeStaebler, Ar t Kraus of Pr incetonKingston Road was more confident as he held up his check for his February and May payments. “I ran the numbers,” he said. “This will save me a few hundred dollars.” Robert Tignor of MacLean Circle, with his check for $8,400 to pay for the next six months, was hopeful of saving even more. “According to my understanding you have to have a copy of the bill. I heard you can mail in your payment, postmarked before Sunday, but I decided not to take that chance,” he said. “I’m getting a receipt.” Most tax experts warn that there could be some difficulties ahead as controversy continues to surround the details of the hastily-completed tax bill. Many taxpayers cannot afford to prepay taxes, and others cannot be certain whether prepayment of taxes will benefit them or simply provide an interestfree loan to the municipal government. Some tax experts have warned that homeowners who usually pay their property taxes through an escrow account could face an audit if they prepaid at the local tax office because the payments reported to the I.R.S. on their tax forms could differ from what the banks re-

port on the forms they use to report to the I.R.S. Also, those subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) will apparently derive no benefit from prepaying their taxes. “Due to the rush job that Congress put through and the ensuing lack of substantive interpretation, there is a great deal of stress and confusion among taxpayers as well as the tax practitioners who are trying to represent their clients’ best interest, with no definitive interpretation of the law or how it will be implemented,” said Monroe Township tax pre- PREPAYING TAXES: Hundreds of Princeton homeowners waited in line at the Municipal Buildparer April Furst. ing last week to prepay their 2018 taxes before the new tax plan goes into effect, limiting the —Donald Gilpin amount of money you can deduct for state income, sales, and property taxes to $10,000.

relations between Ireland and the UK. Fifty years ago it would have been difficult for someone of my background — Northern Irish Catholic with Irish Nationalist leanings — to have countenanced accepting the Queen’s Gold Medal for poetry. I’m sure that, along the way, some have raised an eyebrow at my having worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation or being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.” Muldoon mentioned landmark visits by Queen Elizabeth II to Belfast in 2012 and to the Republic of Ireland in 2011 as marks of the context of a new openness in relations, and referred to a “post-Nationalist component to all of this.” He added, “Because of the very particular circumstances of Northern Ireland as a territory of the United Kingdom and a territory to which the Republic of Ireland has also, until recently, laid claim, I’m entitled to hold both UK and Irish passports. I’m also a proud U.S. citizen, just to throw that into the mix. So, in addition to being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, I’m coincidentally a member of Aosdana (The Irish Academy of Artists) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. I like to think that one may actually be all these at once and seem less an anomaly than an emblem of the world, being, as Louis MacNeice puts it, ‘crazier and more of it than we think.’” —Donald Gilpin

help but believe preserving the property was the right thing to do,” she is quoted in the release. “We want to thank the people who made it happen.” The proper t y contains the headwaters of the Bedens Brook, in the Millstone River Watershed. Its conifer hedgerows are habitat for roosting owls, and butterflies are attracted to its fields. Its mature forest supports vulnerable raptors such as the Cooper’s hawk and migratory songbirds that depend on these breeding grounds. The acreage is close to Highfields, the home of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh and site of the 1932 kidnapping of their 20-month-old son. Police scoured the surrounding woods and fields and interviewed neighbors during their search for the child. “Harry Conover Jr. and his father, who farmed the property, reported that they had seen a car with doused headlights creeping down Featherbed Lane, while Mrs. Conover heard noises from her hen roosts that she assumed were chicken thieves,” the release reads. Having preserved 20,000 acres over nearly 30 years is a major milestone for the D&R Greenway. “It is a spectacular landscape to preserve — the character, the agriculture, and the habitat values associated with the Sourlands are very important to us,” said Watson. “Our 20,00th acre was not the easiest one to preserve, but it was one of our most remarkable success stories,” said Mead. —Anne Levin

Books HSP Hosts Author Talk On Battle of Princeton

The Historical Society of Princeton ( HSP) will host local author Larry Kidder for a lecture on Thursday, Januar y 4, at 7 p.m. in conjunction with the anniversary of the Battle of Princeton. The story of Trenton in the American Revolution is much more than just the two battles that preceded, and led to, the Battle of Princeton. The town played several military and political roles throughout the war and, due to its geographic location, became a crossroads of the Revolution. The author of several books on New Jersey history, Kidder will examine those roles and how the stories of Trenton and Princeton were closely entwined throughout the war for independence. Admission is free, but reservations are requested as space is limited: for reservtions go to www.princetonhistory.org, or call (609 ) 921-6748 x102. Copies of the book, Crossroads of the Revolution: Trenton 1774 -1783 (The Knox Press) will be available for purchase ($34), with proceeds benefitting the Historical Society of Princeton and the Princeton Bat tlefield Societ y. HSP’s headquarters, Updike Farmstead, is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places and lies within the Princeton Battlefield/Stony Brook Historic District.

Patron of the Community Park Pool Recalls Larry Ivan as Person of Honor and Integrity

To the Editor: When I read in a past issue of Town Topics that Larry Ivan had died [Obituaries, Dec. 6, pg. 39], I had a lot of remorse. Although I stopped going to the Princeton Community Park Pool in 2005, I was a patron for 20 years and during that time had a lot of contact with Larry Ivan. In my opinion he was a person of honor and profound integrity. I extend my deepest sympathy to his family. ETHAN FINLEy Princeton Community Village

Resident Sends Sustainable Princeton Novel Idea for Carbon Offsetting

To the Editor Every year in December, I tally my family’s carbon emissions from things like heating our home, driving our car, the food we eat, our purchases and (ouch) our air travel. The CoolClimate network has a fairly detailed carbon calculator that steps you through the process; it is an illuminating exercise. Carbon offsetting happens in the form of a check I send to Cotap, an organization that promotes tree planting and sustainable agroforestry. This year I’m sending additional carbon offsets to Sustainable Princeton, which has embarked on a two-year mission to build a community climate action plan for our January Book Sale town.

Princeton Public Schools ( PPS ) Superintendent Steve Cochrane has joined nine other Mercer County Schools superintendents in issuing a “Call to Action” to address an alarming trend in teenage mental health concerns. “During the last 20 months there have been seven confirmed suicides of teenagers who were residents of, or students attending, schools in Mercer County,” the announcement stated. “We write this letter jointly as superintendents representing every public school in Mercer County because we are heartbroken by the senseless loss of our children.” The December 15 statement continued, “No town is immune from suicide. We have lost students and graduates from almost every town across our county. These deaths have been violent, sudden, and tragic. To all of us, one death is too many. What should further concern us is the alarming number of students who are referred for mental health services, sent to crisis centers, or hospitalized for selfharming acts or ideations.” As a first step in “raising a county-wide focus on mental health” and creating the opportunity for continued dialogue among mental health providers, educators, and members of the community, the superintendents announced a program on Tuesday, Januar y 9, 7-9 p.m. presented by repre-

sentatives of the Traumatic Loss Coalition to be held at Rider University. The 2016 New Jersey Suicide Report published by the Department of Children and Family reported 2,731 youths age 10-24 treated by hospital emergency rooms for suicide attempts or selfinflicted injuries in 2013-15, 1,660 (61 percent) female, 1,071 (39 percent) male. M e r c e r, Wa r r e n , a n d Ocean counties had t he three highest rates of suicide attempts/self-inflicted injuries seen by emergency rooms. There were 269 suicide deaths among New Jersey youth ages 10-24 in 201315, with 196 (73 percent) male and 73 (27 percent) female. All the public schools, the superintendents stated, offer counseling services and prov ide health cur r icula addressing suicide, depression, anxiety, stress, and mental health. “Our staffs are trained,” the statement read, “but we can always do more. The solution must be holistic, inclusive, and all-encompassing. The concerns are complex and multi-faceted. Each tragedy is unique. We must rise together to acknowledge that we all have a role to play in building resilience, creating connections with kids, and making it safe for kids to ask for help. Partnerships in raising awareness and providing systems of support and care are critical.” “Wellness and balance”

Mercer County Superintendents Call for Action to Combat Suicides

continue to be a top priority, and the first of five strategic goals for PPS. In response to a Stanford Universit y survey conducted last year at Princeton High School, which noted high levels of stress, low levels of joyful engagement with learning, and serious sleep deprivation, Cochrane has urged parents, teachers, and the community to work together “to build a culture where students can have space to breathe, to try new things, to fail, to succeed, and to have a definition of success that revolves around joy and purpose.” Last April, when the survey results appeared, he noted, “Academic stress and struggles with depression are at an all-time high nationally for both high school and college students. The goal we all share is to i ncre as e wel l ne s s wh i le deepening learning.” T h e s u p e r i n t e n d e n t s’ statement concluded, “T hrough our collect ive effor t and willingness to combat the stigma associated with mental health, we can provide a network of care and support for our students.” —Donald Gilpin

The exhibition is a showing of work created by students in the fall visual arts course Extraordinar y Processes, taught by Joe Scanlan, in which students explore processes to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary — specifically, the strategic challenge of turning waste material, ash wood, into a viable consumer product. Working in teams, students conceived, designed, prototyped, redesigned, branded, and packaged hanging light fixtures for aesthetic enjoyment and domestic consumption. The objects are made entirely from ash wood available due to the devastation by Agrilus planipennis, commonly known as the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that has destroyed over 20 million ash trees in the United States. The exhibition is free and open to the public. The Hurley Gallery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

“A Passion for Wood” Exhibit at HAM

In a career spanning four decades, David Ellsworth has become one of the premier designers of turned wooden vessels, deeply influencing contemporary craft and numerous artists. This month, the Hunterdon Art Museum (HAM) will spotlight his work in “David Ellsworth : A Passion for Wood,” an exhibition which focuses on the woodturner’s technical and aesthetic development through the years, noted Ingrid Renard, who is curating the exhibition with Hildreth York. T h e e x h i b i t i o n op e n s Sunday, January 14 with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Prior to it, David and Wendy Ellsworth (who has a solo

exhibition devoted to her bead work at the Museum) will lecture and participate in discussion session at 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome, and no advanced registration is required. During the mid-1970s, David Ellsworth designed a series of bent turning tools and the methods necessary to create the hollow vessels with tiny openings and coin-thin walls for which he is known worldwide. Early on, Ellsworth was creating wooden bowls but suddenly started creeping in to reduce the size of the opening. When he realized he couldn’t reach inside the work with the implements he had, Ellsworth decided to heat and bend steel to create tools that would enable him to hollow out the insides of solid wood blocks as they spun on a lathe. One early inspiration to Ellsworth was the Hopi-Tewa pot ter y maker Nampeyo (1859-1942), who created dynamic shaped pots. “My primar y influences come from the energy and beauty of Native American ceramics, the architecture of the American Southwest with its textures, tones, and monumentality, and the natural beauty of the material of wood — what I refer to as the most perfectly imperfect material to work with,” he noted in a recent talk. Ellsworth noted that other pieces — particularly in their form, their tiny openings and his willingness to “let the material do what it does best” — were influenced by ceramist Toshiko Takaezu, who donated her time and energies to the Hunterdon Art Museum for more than five decades. In the mid-1980s, Ellsworth began working with wooden spheres as his primary design element. Ellsworth notes that the sphere is the most universal form and finds it challenging to modify and distinguish such spheres because they are “too perfect.” Ellsworth is a founding member of the American Association of Woodturners, of which he was president from 1986-1991, and its first Honorary Lifetime Member. He has written numerous articles on subjects related to craft and woodturning and has operated the Ellsworth School of Woodturning at his home and studio in Buck’s County, Pennsylvania since 1990.

Molson’s films tell stories through the lives of contemporary characters using, in his words, “the language of the streets.” Molson’s work examines urban masculinity, legacies of trauma, and family dynamics as he strives to “strike a balance between gritty realism, vernacular lyricism, stark humor, and the surrealism of dreams and hallucinations.” “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Moon to the visual arts community at the Lewis Center,” said Martha Friedman, director of the Program in Visual Arts. “On top of being a gifted teacher and deft technician in the craft of film, what most strikes me about Moon is his ability to plumb the depths of the achingly irreducible character of human relationships, and even more profoundly, the human condition.” Molson has taught as an assistant professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since 2015. He received his AB in English literature, film studies, and philosophy from Dartmouth College and his MFA in film from Columbia University.

Dancing to Buddy Rich’s Tune — A New Year’s Eve of High Winds, Thunder and Lightning

t the dawn of a new year in American popular culture it’s time to remember the losses of 2017 and pay tribute to the gains of 1917. Major deaths in the world of rock were legends Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, along with Tom Petty, Greg Allman, John Wetton, among others, and in the grey area between rock and jazz, Allan Holdsworth and Larry Coryell. Jazz losses included pianist Horace Parlan, bop vocalist Jon Hendricks of the premiere word-jazz group, Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross, and Buddy Greco who began his jazz, pop, and country career at 16 playing piano, singing, arranging, and touring the world with the Benny Goodman band. The jazz world also lost columnist and social critic Nat Hentoff, who wrote for Down Beat and the Village Voice, and was listening to Billie Holiday when he died. As for gains, the landmark year 1917 produced Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996), Dizzy Gillespie (1917-1993), and Thelonious Monk (1917-1982), all celebrated in previous columns. One musician for the ages mentioned only in passing until now is Brooklynborn drummer Buddy Rich (19171987), who joins centenary brothers Gillespie, Monk, and bassist Curly Russell (1917-1986) on Bird and Diz, a 1950 album led by Charlie Parker (1920-1955), whose vast charismatic 20th century presence transcends birth dates, leaving the specifics of time like so much stardust in his wake. Listen to the way he and Gillespie interact on the 330-beats-a-minute “Leapfrog” and you’d think they were born in the same year and rocked in the same cradle to the same lullabies, bearing out Parker’s words in a Down Beat blindfold test: “Dizzy Gillespie … the other half of my heartbeat.” Gillespie said it another way: “The moment I heard Charlie Parker, I said, there is my colleague.” Both quotes are featured in jazz scholar James Patrick’s liner notes for Verve’s restored high-definition Master Edition CD of Bird and Diz, which includes all takes from the session as well as David Stone Martin’s cover art. A One-Man Insurgency Since jazz and New Year’s Eve are as natural a unit as jazz and New York, why not imagine this once-in-a-lifetime quintet setting up on the bandstand of the Royal Roost or Birdland, both clubs once located within five blocks of each other in the Times Square heart of Manhattan that was packed to overflowing with revellers on Sunday night. Or better yet, let’s go back to 1939 when Swing was King and Buddy Rich was a star at 22, rousing dancefloor crowds to a frenzy with Artie Shaw’s big band. In the words of The New Yorker’s Whitney Balliett, a Buddy Rich drum solo was “Walpurgis Night. High winds. Thunder and lightning.” After the Faustian special effects, we learn that when “the greatest

virtuoso in jazz drumming” joined Shaw’s band in December of 1939, “everything moved to a new level,” Rich “a one-man insurgency, constantly challenging, pressing and literally cheering the band on, sometimes with a wildly delightful lack of restraint.” You can see the master of revels in action on YouTube in “Traffic Jam” and “Everything’s Jumpin” (audio only), which he “pushes with a driving metallic snap, and caps with a wonderfully imaginative procession of rolls.” Giving the superlatives a rest, Balliett comes down to earth to note that Rich is “overpowered by his astonishing gifts, a captive of his own virtuosity” with “little sense of taste, dynamics, and shading, and none of the elasticity essential to great drumming.” His solos go on “far too long” and “he is a peculiarly dull accompanist.” One of the great jazz critics, Balliett knows more about Rich than I ever will, but he surely can’t have been talking about

In the wild back and forth of “Leap Frog” Rich more than holds his own, although that’s not the performance I had in mind when I raised my eyebrows at Balliett’s “dull accompanist” comment. Rich’s work on Norman Granz’s Jam Sessions 3 and 4 skewers sterile terms like accompanist. It makes no sense to put so passive a word anywhere near the tempered passion of Rich’s unrelenting, brilliantly balanced, ever subtle contribution to a pair of 1953 all-star sessions featuring soloists like tenor sax men Wardell Gray and Stan Getz, alto sax wizards Benny Carter and Willie the Lion Smith, clarinetist Buddy DeFranco and trumpeter Harry Sweets Edison. From the time I heard “Oh Lady Be Good” and “Apple Jam” as a teenager, I had no doubt that the musical euphoria of inspired playing amid deliriously riffing ensembles was riding on a rhythmic absolute driven by the irresistible, madly swinging beat laid down by Rich in tandem with Count Basie’s piano, Freddie Greene’s guitar, and John Simmons’s bass.

the drumming on Bird and Diz. James Patrick’s otherwise informative CD liner notes take the standard line that Rich’s style is somehow out of sync with bop: he is “intrusive” and should have been replaced by a “Max Roach, Roy Haynes, or Kenny Clarke.” Bird knew better. All you need to see is the YouTube clip of “Celerity” where Parker smiles a smile big enough to contain an eternity of liner note writers as he watches Rich hammer out high winds, thunder, and lightning. Patrick’s replacement advice is also roundly dismissed in Samuel Schell’s All About Jazz review from 2007: “Rich may be less flowing and propulsive than the aforementioned bebop drummers, but he’s definitely not intrusive. In fact, his swingera symmetry and unfailing metronomic pulse bring a different dimension to the music and complement, above all, Monk’s clockwork. It begs credulity that a musician like Monk would have hung around the studio if he didn’t appreciate Rich’s time.” In Jazz Masters of the 1940s, Ira Gitler quotes Gillespie admiring the way Rich is able to integrate “all the different components of the drum set and yet still keep the bass-drum rhythm going.”

Taking no solos himself beyond a brief, electric, fiercely flashy show of force in “Lady Be Good” (you can hear the live wire crackling), Rich simply drives and drives and drives until you feel it the way you do the engine humming under you when you bond with a car on a dream of a road at night. Faces in the Crowd On New Year’s Eve, truth be told, I prefer a one-man insurgency to understated artistry. Give me the manic 22-year-old beaming at the crowd as he kicks off “Traffic Jam” in that M-G-M clip from the early Lana Turner movie Dancing Co-Ed (1939). As the camera moves from Rich to the horns and saxes to Shaw wailing on clarinet, the big-band dynamic transcends time and place. No matter that the styles of dance and dress look dated and the war is looming, the excitement is timeless, the music alive in the dancing of tuxedo-suited men twirling and whirling girls dressed to the nines — it may not be in the same league as the Black Bottom at the Savoy but it’s all you know and all you need to know on a “what-fools-these-mortals-be” midsummer night’s dream of New Year’s Eve.

Ella Fitzgerald was 22 in 1939 and already had a breakthrough hit with “A Tisket A Tasket” while Diz and Bird and Monk, as well as Lena Horne (1917-2010) and Joan Fontaine (1917-2013), were still unknown. Dial it forward to 1950, everyone’s 33, Lena’s moving the world with “Stormy Weather,” Fontaine’s inhabited Jane Eyre, copped an Oscar for Suspicion, starred in Max Ophuls’s masterpiece, Letter from an Unknown Woman, and played against type in Born To Be Bad opposite Mel Ferrer (1917-2008); that’s him toasting Oscar winner Jane Wyman (1917-2007), who’s ready for some serious fun, having just divorced Ronald Reagan. Off in a corner film-noirincarnate Robert Mitchum (1917-1997) is sharing a joint with all-in-black B-western hero Lash Larue (1917-1996). And there’s Desi Arnaz (1917-1986) flirting with some showgirls while Lucille Ball, his senior by six years, talks shop with Howdy Doody’s Buffalo Bob (1917-1998); next year will see the debut of her top-rated sitcom I Love Lucy. There are odd couples galore, like literary critic Leslie (“Come Back to the Raft Again Huck Honey”) Fiedler dancing with Zsa Zsa Gabor (1917-2016) while lean and hngry Robert Lowell (1917-1977) flailingly tries to cut in. Singer Joan (“You Belong to Me”) Stafford (1917-2008) is on her way to the bandstand to say hi to Buddy Rich, a cohort from her days with Tommy Dorsey. That looks like Dean Martin (1917-1995) swaying in the same direction: he’s mistaken the drummer for his monkey sidekick Jerry Lewis. Oh, the guy with a sketch pad in the balcony is Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009), and last but definitely not least, arriving just in time for the midnight moment with June Allyson (1917-2006) and Celeste Holm (1917-2012) on either arm is the Congressman from Massachusetts Jack Kennedy (1917-1963). “Talking About Spirit” Interviewed by drummer Art Taylor about the way musicians “embellish one another,” Dizzy Gillespie recalls “the big embellishment” when his band was playing with Ella Fitzgerald and “Bird walked out onto the stage with one big red rose, handed it to me and kissed me right on the mouth and walked off. Ooooow! Talking about spirit, how deep can you get? I don’t care how far you go, there is no deeper.” o here’s wishing everyone a happy 2018, with farewell toasts to Larry Ivan (1932-2017), who taught my son to swim and always watched out for him; my Town Topics colleague Fritz Marston (1940-2017), who shared a feeling for the ending of Chaplin’s City Lights with me at a Christmas party years ago; and, speaking of spirit, a special goodbye to the ever-spirited Peter Gruen (19432017), who, with his wife Anne Elliott, shared two 21st century New Years Eves with my wife and me. —Stuart Mitchner

CINEMA REVIEW

Comedy Chronicles the Making of the Worst Movie Ever

n 1998, 19-year-old Greg Sestero (Dave Franco) met a mysterious, middle-aged man named Tommy Wiseau (James Franco) in a San Francisco acting class. Wiseau not only lied about his age but claimed to be from New Orleans, despite a thick, Eastern European accent. However, Tommy was wealthy enough to underwrite a Hollywood production that starred himself. And Greg was willing to overlook the eccentric millionaire’s inexperience when he was offered a co-starring role. They relocated to Los Angeles where, over the next five years, Tommy wrote the script, cast the film, and hired a crew of industry professionals to shoot the picture precisely as he envisioned it. That labor of love, The Room, grossed a mere $1,800 at the box office and was derided by critics as one of the worst movies ever made. Nevertheless, Tommy would get the last laugh, since The Room was so unintentionally funny that it developed a cult following. It eventually became a favorite on college campuses and the stars were routinely invited to

address the audience after a showing. Directed by James Franco, The Disaster Artist is a hilarious comedy describing Tommy and Greg’s adventures during the making of The Room. Adapted from Greg Sestero’s memoir of the same name, the film costars Franco’s brother Dave as Greg, and boasts an A-list cast that includes Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Sharon Stone, Melanie Griffith, Charlene Yi, Alison Brie, Bob Odenkirk, and Hannibal Buress. Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau make cameo appearances in this sidesplitting tribute to ineptitude. And be sure to catch the closing credits with scenes from the original film side-by-side with reenactments from this movie. Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for sexuality, nudity, and pervasive profanity. Running time: 104 minutes. Production Company: Good Universe/New Line Cinema/ Ramona Films. Distributor: A24 —Kam Williams

Popular ShelfGenie Glide-Out Shelving System Offers Easy Access, Clutter-Free Convenience

a franchise appealed to me, and I was very interested in the ShelfGenie System. The real beauty of ShelfGenie is that it makes life easier. It’s a convenient organizational system that helps homeowners organize and save space.” Originally established in Richmond, Virginia in 2000, the ShelfGenie System now has more than 150 franchises across the U.S. and in Canada. Success Story A true success story — a seemingly simple idea with so many possibilities — it provides customers with an “I always liked the idea of extremely convenient and having my own business,” he attractive glide-out shelving explains. “The possibility of system for cabinets, espe-

enjamin R. Rozenblat is a big fan of the ShelfGenie Glide-Out Shelving System. He is so convinced of the value of this product that in 2010 he opened his own franchise serving central New Jersey.

cially in the kitchen and pantry. But it is also appropriate for the bathroom, laundry room, garage, basement, and for entertainment and home office areas. T he custom -built storage solutions provide easy access to kitchen products and appliances. The glideout shelves (moving easily with just the touch of a finger) can be located in lower or upper cabinets and under the sink. Made of wood, they are in assorted sizes, in single or double height, and can fit into a variety of configurations. Reaching the deepest part of cabinets is no problem with the “blind corner” solution, featuring

two shelves that slide perpendicular to each other. There are also drawers with dividers, divider shelves, and under-sink solutions, which can be designed around obstructions, such as drain pipes. “Eve r y t h i n g w it h i n i n reach” is the underlying concept, and pantries are a perfect place for the glideout shelves. Whether it’s a closet pantry, cabinet pantry, or walk-in style, the ShelfGenie System will create the exact fit. Major Features “Easy to clean, easy to access, and easy to organize” are the major features of ShelfG enie solutions, notes Rozenblat. “T here are so many helpful components.

or the Princeton University women’s basketball team, competing at the Gator Classic tested its adaptability. “It was a tale of two opponents,” said Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart, reflecting on the event which saw the Tigers face St. Joseph’s and TennesseeChattanooga in Gainesville, Fla. on December 20 and 21. “So with St. Joe’s, three of their better players were in the post, outside of their leading scorer. Then with Chattanooga, their best players were the three guards. We were forced to play different ways and it was really awesome that we were able to adjust.” The Tigers adjusted very well, defeating St. Joseph’s 63-54 and then topping Tennessee-Chattanooga 5949 to improve to 9-3. “It was two good mid major teams, a team we tried

to schedule originally; they are a really dominant inside team,” said Banghart, reflecting on the win over the Hawks. “Our defense was excellent, we switched at one through five.” Defense made the difference for Princeton in the win over Chattanooga as the Tigers held the Mocs to 36.5 percent shooting and out rebounded them 44-24. “They had beaten Northwestern, Indiana, Auburn, and Georgetown all this year and they have been to five straight NCAA tournaments; they are really good team,” said Banghart, in assessing Chattanooga. “I told the kids this is the best team left on our schedule. It is not one guard but three guards that are equally dangerous. It is a team that adjusts quickly. One of our keys was that we are going to have to adjust throughout the game. It is not going to be one certain way to play. Our kids really stayed locked in, it was a great win for our program.” Sophomore standout Bella Alarie and senior forward and co-captain Leslie Robinson led the way for the Tigers in Florida. Alarie was named the tournament MVP and an All-Tournament selection after averaging 18.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in the squad’s two victories

while Robinson was also an All-Tournament choice, averaging 11 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. “Bella is continuing to get better and better; she is really committed, she wants to be good here,” said Banghart of Alarie, who was later named the Ivy League Player of the Week. “She is getting better around the rim, she is getting more relentless on the glass. She is a highly efficient player offensively. She blocks more shots than she gets credit for. Leslie is that competitor that when the going gets tough, she just gets tougher. In tough games she has shown that she is a difference. She was a difference in both games.” While Banghart came into the winter believing that the Tigers would be competitive, their impressive start has exceeded her expectations. “To be 9-3 with the schedule we have made, I honestly would not have guessed it,” said Banghart. “Our schedule bas been incredibly difficult. Our RPI was in the 20s before the Rutgers loss (70-50 on December 13) out of 350 programs. We are in the 30s now.” Banghart likes the progress she is seeing at both ends of the court. “Defensively, we are getting really gritty,” said Banghart, whose

team was holding opponents to 56.8 points a game and 38.4 percent shooting from the floor through its first 12 contests. “Offensively, we have challenged post to be more of an interior presence. In the quarter court, we have asked our guards to be more relentless on the dribble attack. As we say, share it and shoot it. Both positional groups are raising their game and they are playing together pretty well too.” With Princeton starting its Ivy League campaign at defending champion Penn on January 6, Banghart believes her squad has what it takes to regain the league crown. “You have a pretty good sense by the end of December where you are and who you are,” noted Banghart, whose team was slated to play its last non-conference game when it hosted Maryland-Baltimore County on December 30. “I really like this team. I think we have great versatility, we have great depth, we have a star (Alarie), we have a really good point guard (freshman Carlie Littlefield), and we have pieces that are continually evolving. It will be fun to see where this team goes.” —Bill Alden

T he Pr inceton Universit y baseball program is mourning the loss of Dan Arendas ’86, a three-time All-Conference player and All-American in 1986. Arendas passed away on December 11 at the age of 53 after a hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer. The star outfielder finished as three-time William J. Clarke Award w inner (1983-84, 1986) and helped the Tigers to the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball (EIBL) League Championship and NCAA Tournament in 1985. He was recently named the Robert L. Peters, Jr., ’42 Award Winner. As a senior captain in 1986, Arendas earned his third straight first-team AllEIBL accolade and became the fourth Tiger in program history to be named an AllAmerican. Having played in 157 career games, Arendas ranks in the top 10 in program h i s tor y i n 10 of fe n s i ve categories. He is second in batting average (.364), runs scored (141), doubles (48), tied for second in hits (202), third in total bases (295), extra-base hits (66), fifth in walks (77), tied for fifth in career triples (nine), eighth in slugging percentage (.532) and ninth in RBI (107). A r e n d a s’s c a r e e r w a s highlighted by his 1985 campaign. During that s p r i n g, h e b r o ke t h r e e single-season records with his .440 average, 66 hits, and 21 doubles (tied). Arendas received the Blair Bat Award in 1985, awarded to the player with the highest batting average in conference play and was a New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association (NJCBA) Player of the Year. A f ter g raduat ing f rom P r inceton, A rendas was selected by the New York Yankees in the 17th round of the 1986 Major League Baseball amateur draft. He played minor league baseball for four seasons, earning a .285/.357/.362 slash line, reaching Double-A in 1988 and 1989.

ONLINE www.towntopics.com PROTECTING SHRUBS FROM SNOW DAMAGE with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

Usually, snow is a good friend to the gardener. It insulates the earth, blanketing the crowns of vulnerable perennials and preventing them from heaving out of the ground. But snow can also be a destructive force, twisting and breaking brittle shrubs such as azaleas, rhododendrons, boxwoods and andromeda. Like many other problems, it’s destructive side is best dealt with by foresight. Here is a short list of precautions. Snow Drop: Damage will occur to foundation shrubs if snow builds up on the roof and then falls on the plants with all its weight. Where possible, foundation plantings should always be located just beyond the snow’s landing zone. Alternatively, snow brakes installed on the roof will help keep large masses of snow from cascading onto plants below. Snow Drag: Snow that piles up around woody plants may solidify into ice, dragging branches down and breaking them off at the base. Vulnerable shrubs should be tied up with organic twine, and a loose cat’s cradle woven between their branches for internal support. Wet and Late Snows: The worst snow, perhaps, is a wet snow, as it sticks to branches, quickly building up into dangerously heavy loads. The only thing more destructive is a wet, late snow, which also sticks to the surfaces of newly emerged leaves. When this occurs, you must take a broom, a bamboo pole, or just your hands, and dislodge as much snow as possiblegently, of course, and not in a rage, for the idea is to shake away the snow, and not to punish the poor shrub.

Although the Princeton High boys’ hockey team fell behind Cranford 3-0 in the first period of its final game in 2017, Aidan Trainor wasn’t fazed. “That was kind of rough falling down early,” said PHS sophomore for ward Trainor, reflecting on the December 22 contest played at Baker Rink. “We knew we had the offensive power to come back.” Trainor started the comeback by finding the back of the net with a blast from the point with 3:43 left in the first period. Patrick [McDonald] did a good job carrying the puck dow n the ice and I was hopping off the bench and coming into the zone and he just gave me the puck,” said Trainor. “The goalie kind of gave me that upper corner, so I just fired it and I was lucky enough to score.” Trainor’s tally changed the tone of the contest as PHS closed the gap to 3-2 with by Ben Drezner in the second period. “Hockey is a game of momentum so that was a good

one to get and get our offense going and know what we need to do to be more successful in the offensive end,” said Trainor. T he Lit tle Tigers kept things going, scoring three goals in the third period to pull out a 5-4 victory and take a 6-1-2 record into the holidays. “Going into the third we knew what we had to do. We knew we had to lock down on defense and play hard, strong offense,” said Trainor. “It felt it was going our way to so we were happy to see that.” After his younger brother, freshman for ward Colm, scored to make it 3-3 early in the third period, Trainor notched the go-ahead goal with 4:11 remaining regulation on an assist by classmate Rocco Salvato. “Rocco carried it all the way down the ice; we have had a great partnership since last year,” said Trainor. “Rocco dropped me the puck at the top; I was shooting to get a rebound for him to get but the defenseman made a screen.”

In Trainor’s view, the rally was a great display of character by the Little Tigers. “It just shows that we can fight through anything,” said Trainor. “That is a pretty big hole to dig ourselves out of; it was good to see that we came back after that. I think we came out a little flatfooted but to be able to climb out of that was great.” After a big postseason run last year that saw PHS make the program’s first-ever appearance in the state Public A semifinals, the returning players are bringing a greater self-belief into this winter. “Going into this season, we know we should be at the top of our division,” said Trainor. “We had a lot of momentum coming out of last year; it was good for us. We gained a new sense of confidence.”

PHS is gaining confidence in new head coach Tim Chase, the successor to Terence Miller. “It is different playing and coaching styles,” said Trainor. “It was a big adjustment for all of us but I think coach Chase is doing a great job with us. If we just listen him we are going to get better each game and each practice.” PHS head coach Chase, for his part, was proud of how his players adjusted in the win over Cranford. “When you get some bad bounces at the beginning of the game and things aren’t going well, it is nice that the guys didn’t quit,” said Chase. “You find out what the character of your team is. That was the good point, we kept plugging away and eventually got the goals in.” Chase credited Trainor with playing a major role in sparking the rally. “Aidan is a good player, he reads

the play, he is strong on the puck and he cycles well,” said Chase. “T he ot her guys feed off of that. On the bench, they see that and it gets the other guys fired up so that is a big part of our game.” In Chase’s view, spreading the wealth offensively is a major strength of the PHS squad. “Each line did a pretty good job of keeping the pressure,” said Chase, who also got a goal from Stephen Avis to put PHS up 5-3 before it surrendered an extra attacker goal with 1:15 left in the game. “We have balanced scoring, we have balanced pressure. Each of our three lines was able to pressure the puck, which is going to be important if we want to go anywhere in the states.” Although Chase is pleased with his team’s superb 6-1-2 start, he sees room for improvement. “In our zone we are still a little sloppy. I am a little

frustrated that we haven’t quite figured some of that out,” said Chase, noting that defenseman Augie Preziosi is sidelined by injury and Ryan McCormick was unavailable for the Cranford game “Defensively, it is focusing a little more on our roles, not doing someone else’s job and running around. It is keeping that pressure and that balanced attack. We are pretty good where we are at right now. If we can build on that and get a little more cohesiveness in our zone, we will be fine.” Trainor, for his part, is confident that the Little Tigers can go on a good run as they head into the homestretch. “I am happy with our record, we won the games we should have,” said Trainor. “We need to learn from our loss and our ties and see what we need to do moving forward. I am looking forward to the rest of this season.” —Bill Alden

Senior Stone Providing Leadership, Production As PHS Girls’ Hoops Aims to Get on Right Track Taylor Stone’s right index finger was swollen and taped but that didn’t stop her from carrying the load last Wednesday as the Princeton High girls’ b a s ke tb a l l te a m f a c e d Randolph in a consolation game in the Stuart Invitational Tournament. With PHS lacking four players for the game due to ot her com m it ments, senior center and captain Stone knew that the squad was relying on her to come up big in the paint. “We were missing a lot of our guards and ball handlers, so we had some younger players and more inexperienced girls coming up,” said Stone. “They really did everything they could to help; we were just really shorthanded. I was trying to do everything I could really. It is a team thing.” Stone crashed the b oards t hroughout t he contest, ending up with a game-high 10 points in a losing cause as the Little Tigers fell to Randolph 42-22 and moved to 2-3. “Defensively, we have always been a good team and it has just been fixing the little things, making one more pass offensively to get a lay up instead

of an off jump shot,” said Stone, reflecting on the setback. A s t he te a m’s s en ior captain, Stone has looked to keep things positive for the Little Tigers. “It has been a challenge, especially in a game like today where we get flustered,” said Stone. “I am trying to keep everyone together to find that success any way we can.” PHS head coach Dave Kosa credited Stone with trying her best and doing yeoman’s work against Randolph. “Taylor really worked hard inside,” said Kosa. “I want her to finish a little bit stronger sometimes, but she has been our inside force. She has played well; she was able to get a position down low.” W h i le ack nowle dg i ng that he had to juggle his lineup due to the missing players, Kosa had no qualms with the effort he got in the loss. “It is no excuse, the girls that were here just have to go out and play,” said Kosa. “We hung in there, we rely upon our defense when we are shorthanded like that.” Fighting the uphill battle, however, ultimately

took its toll on PHS. “We were lacking depth and when we wore down, they took advantage of that,” s aid Kos a. “It is lit t le things here or there that just added up ; it hur ts when we don’t have four players.” Looking forward, Kosa believes that the team’s offense will catch up with its defense. “We have given up 40 points in just two games and everything else had been under 30,” said Kosa, whose team was slated to face Princeton Day School in the seventh place game of the Stuart tourney on December 29 before getting the 2018 portion of the schedule under way when it hosts Hamilton on January 3, then plays at WW/P-North on January 5, and at Robbinsville on January 9. “We are going through this tough stretch offensively; I think it is going to click. It is just a matter of us understanding to finish shots and finishing games.” In Stone’s view, PHS has the potential to produce a big finish to the winter. “We have made a lot of progress,” said Stone. “We have a lot of work still to be done but I feel as the season goes on, there are a lot of bright spots and once we put them together, we could have something special here.” —Bill Alden

MFG., CO.

Bridget Kane struggled to get into a shooting groove as the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball team faced St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes (Va.) in a consolation game at the Stuart Invitational Tournament last Wednesday. The senior guard hit just one 3-pointer in the first quar ter as the Panthers found themselves trailing 16-12. In the second quar ter, Kane war med up a bit, draining two 3-pointers as the Panthers pulled ahead 26-22 by halftime. “Coach [ Kamau Bailey] always says keep shooting until you are on,” said Kane. “I got into a rhythm.” Kane got into the rhythm of her life in the third quarter, nailing four 3-pointers along with a free throw and a buzzer-beater bucket as she scored all 15 of PDS’s points in the frame. “Our team all together played really well in the third and I think that helped me feel the energy,” said Kane. “Our passing was on so I think that helped me get open too.” Although PDS showed energy up to the final buzzer, it ended up falling 52-46 to the Saints. “I feel like we did win the game even though on the scoreboard we did not,” said Kane, who ended the day with 26 points, including seven 3-pointers. “I t hin k we out played

them all together. I don’t think there was one quarter where we were down. I wouldn’t look back on it like that.” Having committed to attend Franklin and Marshall and play for its women’s lacrosse team, Kane hopes to look back on the winter with some fond memories as she plays her last season of competitive basketball. “I am so sad about it,” said Kane. “I love the sport; I have played since second grade. My dad is a coach ( long t i m e L aw rencev i lle boys’ hoops coach Ron Kane) and I play because it is fun. I had opportunities to stop but I didn’t want to.” Kane is psyched to have the opportunity to continue her athletic career at F&M. “I am really excited; it is a great fit academically and the lacrosse program is awesome,” said Kane, whose father was a three-sport athlete for the Diplomats in the 1980s. As a senior captain, Kane is excited to take a leadership role for the Panthers. “I love to talk; I like to scream ‘got ball’ and things like that,” said Kane. “It is positive reinforcement to my teammates.” PDS head coach Bailey loved the way Kane took care of her business against St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes. “I was able to get Bridget some open shots,” said Bailey. “She had a great

game.” In Bailey’s view, the Panthers kept their heads in the game all the way to the final buzzer. “We focused on the stuff that we can control, that is what we decide we were going to do from the beginning,” said Bailey. “Let’s not worry about the refs, let’s control our effort and attitude. We did that and I thought it was a really good look for us. There was a lot of improvement; we just have to get better moving the ball.” With PDS having lost 6337 to Villa Walsh in the first round of the Stuart event, Bailey believed the performance against St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes was a step forward. “We had some successes in the game where we did well in different ways,” said Bailey, whose squad gets into 2018 action by playing at the Hun School on January 4 and at Montgomery High on January 5 before hosting Pennington on January 8. “In the locker room just now, the girls were really positive and thought that we are headed in the right direction even though we didn’t win.” Kane, for her part, believes the Panthers are upbeat as they head into the new year. “We have struggled in the first half of the season, but I don’t think our team is losing hope going into the second half,” said Kane. “I feel we are all learning game by game and we are not harping on the games in the past or a bad quarter or a bad shot. We just go on to the next play.” —Bill Alden

Freshman Star Melvin’s Coolness Under Fire Helping Stuart Basketball to Promising Start Nia Melvin has kept a cool head in assuming the starting point guard role for the Stuart County Day School basketball team this winter as a freshman. “My role is to get the right people the ball at the right time,” said Melvin. “I try not to get too excited.” Last Wednesday, Melvin produced an exciting performance to help Stuart defeat Princeton High 40-18 in the opening round of the Stuart Invitational Tournament. “We put a big emphasis on defense because defense wins championships,” said Melvin, reflecting on a game which saw the Tartans jump out to an 18-8 halftime lead and never look back. “We came into the game knowing that we wanted to stop this team because we knew that they were good shooters.” Utilizing a press that stifled the Little Tigers, Stuart was able generate points from turnovers. “Our offense starts from defense,” added Melvin, who ended up with 12 points, four assists, nine rebounds, and six steals in the win over PHS. “I think our team did a good job of taking control of the game.” While Melvin displays a calm on the court, she relies on senior star Jalynn Spaulding and junior standout Bey-Shana Clark to provide her with guidance. “They are great mentors and are people I look up to on the team,” said Melvin. “They help me when I am struggling with a question of how the game works or how

to react to something.” Stuart head coach Justin Leith appreciates the great work he has been getting from Melvin. “Nia is fantastic, she is a calming influence,” said Leith. “She is calm on the floor no matter what is going on. She is cool under fire. She is a great kid and a great addition to the school and the team.” In the win over PHS, the Tartans showed calmness as they patiently broke down the Little Tiger defense. “It was different, I don’t think we have had a game like that this year where they really packed it in like that on defense,” said Leith. “I liked that because it made us have to work our offense and make the other team play defense and really work the ball from side to side.” While Spaulding took a while to adjust in the contest, she ended up w ith 12 points, five assists, five steals, and six rebounds. “Jalynn would rather have an up-and-down tempo game because she is so athletic,” said Leith. “In the second half she came alive. She started the second half with that three and that got her going.” The gritty play of Clark in the paint helped keep things going in the right direction for the Tartans. “B e y - S h a n a j u s t d o e s what she always does,” said Leith of Clark, who contributed eight points and 11 rebounds. “She is great. She

goes to the boards hard, she shoots the ball well. She is a great all around player and she is consistent.” While Stuart fell 46-42 to Trinity Hall in the semis, Leith enjoys the atmosphere arou n d t h e I nv it at ion a l which features games being played simultaneously on adjacent courts. “We wanted to have two games going on so people who want to watch basketball can poke their head in on one or the other,” said Leith, whose team moved to 6-2 with a loss to Trinity Hall and was slated to play Villa Walsh in the event’s third place game on December 29. “It is fun.” Melvin, for her part, believes that the Tartans can have a lot of fun this winter if they keep playing hard. “Our biggest thing has been defense and pushing the ball,” said Melvin, who will look to keep up her good play as Stuart starts 2018 by hosting Trenton Catholic Academy on January 3 before playing at Lawrenceville on January 5 and at Trinity Hall on January 6. “We are a fast team, so we try to keep pushing.” —Bill Alden

Mary Ellen Cooke Johnson July 5, 1930 – December 5, 2017 Mary Ellen “Melon” Cooke Johnson of Princeton, NJ, died peacefully on December 5, 2017. She was born July 5, 1930, in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, to Jay Cooke IV and Mary Glendinning Cooke. Her sister, Nina Cooke Cochran, predeceased her. She graduated magna cum laude and valedictorian from Springside School, where she was president of the student government and played field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse. She also attended Wellesley College, where as class president she committed to memory every student’s name so she could address each one personally on the first day of school. In 1946, Melon met the love of her life, naval air pilot Hallett Johnson, Jr., on the top of Cadillac Moun-

An early pioneer in squash, she won the US Squash Junior Girls Championship while at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, won the national doubles championship three times (1960-1962) with fellow pioneer Susie O’Neil, won the National Singles (1980) and was for many decades the driving force behind the NJ State Women’s Championship tournament and the annual Howe Cup Team Championship, which she ran while also coaching squash at Princeton University. She received the US Squash Racquets Achievement Bowl Award for contributions to the sportsmanship and advancement of the game. In field hockey, she and squash coach Betty Constable founded and coached the first women’s team at Princeton University in 1970 (it then became one of the first original women’s varsity sports to be introduced in 1971-72), competed on an adult regional team and was a high school and college field hockey official referee through her 60s, earning numerous awards for service and growing the game. She won the respect and gratitude of all she touched for her kindness, compassion, ethics, inclusivity, and joyful sense of humor. Her humbleness, humanity, and steadfast belief in the goodness within us all will forever light our way forward. She was the heart and soul of her large, boisterous and adoring family. The world is a better and more beautiful place because she walked it; she will be missed deeply as she’s moved on to ever-blooming gardens and a place where her beloved Phillies may win every year.

Melon is survived by her four children: Hallett Johnson III and his wife, Barbara, of Birmingham, AL; Mary Johnson of Dorset, VT; Livingston Johnson and his wife, Maria, of Skillman, NJ; and Beth Johnson Nixon and her husband, David, of Greenwich, CT. In addition, she is survived by nine grandchildren, three greatgrandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, January 27, 2018, at Trinity Church in Princeton, NJ. Contributions in Melon’s memory may be made to the D&R Greenway Land Trust, One Preservation Place, Princeton, NJ 08540.

Obituaries

tain in Maine’s Acadia National Park. They married in 1950 and moved to Stone House Far m, Pr inceton, NJ, where they raised four children, many of their children’s friends, and countless horses, cows, sheep, pigs, chicken, dairy goats, bees, and an ever-expanding number of abandoned cats with great love, grace, and humor. Together they championed organic farming and community coops long before they were a trend. They also shared a lifelong love of competitive sports and the outdoors, racing on board Seagull and Sandia along the Atlantic seaboard, competing in tennis matches in NJ and on Mount Desert Island, Maine, and flyfishing at their cherished Ogontz in Pennsylvania. Melon also was an equestrian, competing sidesaddle on her beloved Flagpole; a fearless singles tennis competitor, winning many singles and parent/child championships; and a baseball and football aficionado that enjoyed the notoriety of being the first and only woman for years in an all-male fantasy baseball league. She also dearly loved gardening and was passionate about conservation. The Garden Club of America and the Garden Club of Princeton awarded her the Margaret Dulles Sebring Club Conservation Award and the GCA Medal of Merit in recognition of her Civic Projects and “quiet competence.” Capable of running a small country, she loved managing teams of dealers and buyers at the annual Princeton Antiques Show and Bryn MawrWellesley Book Sale.
