Schools’ Equity Audit Reveals Positive Start, Much Work to Be Done An equity audit of Princeton Public Schools (PPS) has cited significant strengths along with a range of issues and disparities that the district needs to address. Initiated by PPS “in response to known and suspected educational inequities and gaps between the district’s mission and students’ day-to-day school experiences,” the audit noted continuing “raciallypredictable disparities in achievement data, a perception of disparities in discipline and academic expectations, a difference between various identities’ sense of welcoming and belonging, challenges in addressing incidents of oppression and bias, and a strong sense of academic pressure and competition.” The audit, conducted by Due East Educational Equity Collaborative and led by consultant Marceline Du Boise, who presented the results at last night’s Board of Education meeting, highlighted “the main observations that the district’s stated commitment to equity, strong academic outcomes, and a budding commitment to culturally responsive curriculum and instruction serve as a base on which more effort around educational equity should take place.” The Educational Equity Culture and Curriculum Audit included reviews of district policies and analysis of academic and discipline data. It connected with more than 2,800 PPS community members through focus groups and surveys that heard from nearly 50 percent of all households, all high school students, and a majority of PPS faculty and staff. Viewing the audit as another “important step in an ongoing process to help us achieve our equity goals,” PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane claimed that the audit report “will inform our continuing efforts to diversify our curriculum, diversify our staff, overcome bias, and foster inclusion.” He cited positive steps taken in recent years in hiring — educators of color constituted 44 percent of educators hired last year — and in curriculum reform to “transform the dialogue, to present not just the dominant narrative, but also the non-dominant narrative.” Cochrane noted, “For me, equity is fundamentally about relationships. With more educators of color the shift really Continued on Page 8

Hodge Road House Fire Under Investigation

A three-alarm fire caused significant damage and minor injuries to two firefighters at a house on Hodge Road in Princeton’s Western Section late Monday night. No one was inside the 5,802-square-foot home at 140 Hodge Road when the fire was reported at about 11:50 p.m. The blaze was on the second and third floors of the nine-bedroom home, and burned through the roof. Four EMS units, three rescue units, and 19 fire departments from across the area responded to the alarm, after a neighbor reported to the Princeton Fire Department that flames and smoke were coming from the back of the house. The cause of the fire has not been determined. Because it went to three alarms, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office was automatically called in along with the Princeton Police Department and Princeton Fire Department. One firefighter from Lawrence Township was treated and released for respiratory issues, and another had a badly cut finger. “It was a very hot night. I can tell you because I was one of the first in,” said Bob Gregory, director of emergency services for the Princeton Fire Department. “The humidity and the heat were significant. It was a tough night. It took a lot of hard work and a lot of people to put

the fire out.” Gregory said the condition of the house will have to be assessed by an engineer or architecture firm. “There are issues with those old houses. It was built in the 1920s, with heavy timber construction. The walls were plaster on mesh wire. They had to break through the walls with sledgehammers.” The house was previously owned by Princeton neurosurgeon Dr. Edward Von Der Schmidt. “It was vacant. He left in January,” said Amy Stavin-Strang,

Southern New Jersey asset manager for Carrington Real Estate Services, which holds the note for the property. “The bank owned it but never foreclosed. Dr. Von Der Schmidt had tried to sell it for eight years, but no one bought it. Then he decided to deed it back to the bank, which has had it on the market since last November.” A listing on the real estate website Zillow describes the house as Colonial Revival, designed in 1922. It has nine bedrooms and six bathrooms and sits Continued on Page 4

PPS Prepared to Support Two-Question Referendum Proposal for November Vote At last night’s meeting, which took place after press time, the Princeton Board of Education (BOE) seemed prepared to support the latest referendum proposal from its facilities committee, calling for two questions on the ballot. Question No. 1 would include improvements at all the elementary schools; construction of a new 5/6 school at Valley Road; the purchase of property at Thanet Road for central administration, transportation, and maintenance; security improvements; HVAC and other infrastructure improvements; an athletic field at Valley Road; a few additional high school

classrooms; a second floor over the high school fitness center; and renovations to the guidance area — at a projected cost of $82,528,490. Question No. 2 would include the balance of the high school expansion, an additional high school athletic field, and additional high school upgrades — at a projected cost of $47,086,435. The first question must pass in order for the second question to pass, with BOE President Patrick Sullivan and Superintendent Steve Cochrane both noting the district’s need for all of the construction Continued on Page 7

Success of Girls’ Motivational Program Leads to New Conference for Boys

For the past eight years, a week-long summer leadership academy designed to motivate teenaged girls of color has been held on the campus of Princeton University. “At the Well” has focused on critical reading, critical writing, and activi-

ties for leadership development, bringing in speakers from the worlds of business, education, and entertainment. The success of the program has led sponsors to think about a companion program for boys. This summer, for the first time, the girls will have male counterparts attending sessions in another section of the campus. Thirty boys from different parts of the country will attend “From the Fire” July 22 to August 3, with a curriculum that bears some similarities but has a greater focus on mentoring.

“We felt the need to add t wo components for the boys,” said Linda Peavy, a consultant closely involved in the initiative. “They will be paired with a mentor, someone with whom they can have a lasting relationship. And they will also take part in a rites of passage program, which helps these young men as they enter manhood. It will deal with social issues and activities that provide them with life skills — very practical information that will help them become responsible and accountable.” Among the speakers who will address the young men are actors Danny Glover and Delroy Lindo. It was Lindo, in fact, who helped spur the sponsors into making “From the Fire” happen. He is program chair for the inaugural conference. “Over the years, we were always being asked, ‘What are you going to do for the boys? Because it is so needed,’“ said Peavy. “Last year, during the closing ceremony, Delroy Lindo’s niece was in the program and he came to pick her up. He said he saw the wonderful glow on the faces of the girls, and asked what it was about. That kind of started the discussion about providing something for the boys.” Most of the participants in both programs are on scholarship. Eleven boys coming f rom O m a h a, Nebr as k a have been fully funded by a sponsor from that city. Two boys from Newark are being sponsored by My Brother’s Keeper, which was launched

by the Obama Foundation. “To i n spire t h e m, we wanted to provide men who are successful from a number of different professions,” said Peavy. “Not just sports players and entertainers — we have an attorney, a life coach, a MacArthur fellow, Mayor Baraka of Newark, and a few NBA players. These are people who can teach t hes e you ng men about leadership.” Simultaneously, girls in the program will be hearing from actresses Nicole Ari Parker and Erika Alexander, D.L.

M o n a r c h J o u r n e y, a hands - on env iron mental program on the Monarch butterfly, will be held at the Lamber tville Free Public Library, 6 Lilly Street, on Wednesday, July 25, 7 to 8 p.m. Co-sponsored by the library and Lambertville Goes Wild, this free program is an opportunity for children and adults to observe caterpillars munching milkweed, adult butterflies flying in a special cage, and, with luck, butterflies emerging from their chrysalises. Loretta Shigo, founder of Monarch Journey, will present the details about the creature’s complex life cycle, its flying and navigation skills, and its special habitat needs. With the ongoing decline in the Monarch population, Monarch Journey has been working for years to help the species survive by educating the public about the importance of its host plant, milkweed, and the need for habitat development and preservation. A key aim of Lambertville Goes Wild is to promote wider use of native plants to support all varieties of wildlife, including birds and pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and moths, which in turn ensure the viability of about 80 percent of all flowering plants, including many on which we depend for food and medicine.

Princeton University is s e e k i n g a p p r ov a l f r o m Princeton’s Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to turn Bainbridge House, the historic building at 158 Nassau Street that most recently housed the Historical Society of Princeton, into office space for the educational programming staff of the Princeton University Art Museum, as well as a gallery and gathering space. Hoping for approval, the University outlined its plans at a presentation to the HPC Monday evening. But there were outstanding questions and additional discussion was needed when the meeting ended, so the presentation and discussion will be continued at the HPC’s meeting next month, according to Kristin Appelget, the University’s director of community and regional affairs. “Once we have the necessary approvals, we are hoping construction is complete and the building is occupied by early 2019,” Appelget said before the meeting. “Interior preparations are underway inside.” Princeton University has owned the 18th centur y Bainbr idge House since 1877. Since 1910, it was leased for $1 a year, first to the Princeton Public Library, which was located there for five decades; then to the Historical Society of Princeton, which occupied the building from 1967 until making the Updike Farmstead on Quaker Road its permanent home in 2015. Originally a private residence, Bainbridge House was built in 1766 and is

considered one of the area’s best preserved examples of Georgian architecture. The first owner was Job Stockton, one of the town’s early settlers, and it is said to have lodged members of the Continental Congress in 1873. The house was later leased to Dr. Absalom Bainbridge, whose son fought in the War of 1812. The building served as a dormitory for Princeton University students before becoming headquarters for the Princeton Public Library. The University was originally hoping that the building would be ready for re-opening in the fall of 2017. The New York architectural firm Murphy Burnham & Buttrick was hired to restore, renovate, and repurpose the building in 2015. According to the architectural firm’s website, the work includes “making it universally accessible, and repurposing its interiors to provide public space on the first floor — with gathering space, exhibits, information, shop, ticketing, and information — and offices for Princeton University Art Museum’s Education Department on the second and third floors.” Improvements will update the building’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and security systems. The aim is “to make the house more accessible, welcoming, and open, while maintaining its historic architectural integrity,” the website reads. Bainbridge House is in Princeton’s Central Historic District. —Anne Levin

Referendum Proposal continued from page one

and renovation improvements included in both questions, at a total cost just under $130M. Over the past two weeks t he facilit ies com m it tee has made a number of adjustments to its proposal, including the division into two questions, in order “to balance the needs of the schools with the reality of the tax environment that we live in now,” according to Facilities Committee Chair Dafna Kendal. “Revisions to our earlier proposal are based on input from the community and from other Board members,” Kendal said. “It has been an inclusive and collaborative process.” At last week’s standingroom-only BOE meeting, Sullivan stated, “We have tr ied to be transparent, tried to listen to questions and concerns, and to reflect the values and wishes of our community.” he described the entire referendum as “a sound plan,” but noted “we’ve g ot te n fe e db ack from the community that it’s a big bite. We wanted to give people another option to postpone part of the plan for two-three years.” Michele Tuck-Ponder, who was the only BOE member to vote against an earlier version of the proposal, acknowledged that she would probably vote against it again. “I anticipate that I will again be the only vote against.” Tuck-Ponder explained, “My concern has always been about the process and the scale of the project. To the credit of the Board, the

price has come down, and there has been an effort to hear people and their concerns.” In addition to calling for an independent architect’s review of the plans and a closer connection of the building project to student achievement and to the district’s strategic goals, Tuck-Ponder said she would like to see the high school improvements placed on another ballot question at another time in the future. T h e B O E p l a n n e d to submit its revised referendum proposal to the State Department of Education (DOE). After DOE approval, the final submission of the ballot question to the Board of Elections is due by early September, 60 days before the November election.

This Saturday, July 21, Cochrane, along with project architect Scott Downie of Spiezle A rchitect ural Group, will hold a Q&A session in the Princeton Public Library at 9 a.m. to answer questions from the community about the proposed referendum. The PPS website notes that this will be an opportunity to learn more about the planning and decisionmaking process that went into crafting the referendum proposal, as well as the process going forward to finalize the plan, submit it for a vote, and oversee construction if the vote is successful. If both questions in the referendum are approved, construction is scheduled to

begin in July 2019, with anticipated completion of the new 5/6 school in August of 2020, along with renovations at elementary and middle schools and athletic enhancements, and the high school renovations completed by August 2021. —Donald Gilpin

It was cited as one of 14 noteworthy New Jersey redevelopment projects that “have improved the quality of life in their communities and helped move the state’s economy forward.” University Architect Ronald McCoy Jr. stated, “I think that people had the vision to see that this building, with its synergy with the McCarter Theatre Center and its ability to revitalize this neighborhood of campus, would be transformative for Princeton.” (Photo Courtesy of Princeton University Office of Communications)

Schools’ Equity Audit continued from page one

begins to happen in helping to dispel implicit biases. Students need to be able to see themselves in their teachers and in the curriculum. The audit report inspires us to continue to take those steps.” Cochrane also pointed out progress made in responding to incidents of oppression and bias. “We have to be more proactive to

make sure these incidents occur less often,” he said. PPS is planning a two-day training session at the end of August for administrators and teachers, who will be building equity teams to enhance their capacity for effective responses in the schools. In her response to the audit report, Board member Michele Tuck-Ponder expressed no surprise, but considerable concern. “These are well-founded concerns,” she said. “They are not

new concerns. They come from decades of racism in our public schools. The question is: What are we going to do about it?” She continued, “A proposal to form study groups is not sufficient. I’m frustrated. I don’t have the answers to this problem, but I’m looking for the intent and the will to introduce changes that will address these inequities.” Cochrane shared some thoughts on the next steps for PPS. “What’s not in the report

is what to do next,” he said, “not just posting the report online and filing it away. I’m most excited about taking the next steps, addressing the real issues and looking for real solutions.” PPS will be working this summer with the Princeton Civil Rights Commission, chaired by Tommy Parker, to form a study circle of community leaders, educators, and students to review the equity report in depth at a series of meetings and to develop ac-

tion steps for the district to implement. “I’m looking forward to coming back to the community in the fall with specific recommendations,” Cochrane added. The report acknowledged that many of the issues highlighted in the report are consistent with challenges that most districts across the country are struggling with, but noted that “some of the findings are unique to Princeton or heightened by Princeton’s

position as a top-tier school district.” Princeton, the report noted, is “an ideal environment to strive for both equity and excellence.” The report concluded, “Given the right resources and guidance, along with authentic action steps by the district, this community is poised to make shifts that can remedy and reverse the equity challenges present in PPS.” —Donald Gilpin

Friends of Herrontown Woods (FOHW) held a picnic last month with games, food, and presentations to celebrate Oswald Veblen’s 138th birthday. There’s a lot to celebrate, with Princeton Council agreeing last week to accept the property from Mercer Cou nt y and t he FOHW stepping up work on various environmental projects and looking to renovate the Veblen House and Cottage. The Council is currently working on an agreement with FOHW to specify responsibility for stabilizing and maintaining the aging structures that used to be the Veblen homestead. In the meantime the allvolunteer FOHW have “dramatically transformed the Veblen House grounds,” according to FOHW President Steve Hiltner, by planting a Phoenix Garden with 200 native plants representing 85 species, and beginning to create an edible forest and rain garden to demonstrate the use of runoff in the landscape. “Herrontown Woods at 142 acres is one of the jewels of Princeton’s park system, but had gone mostly untended for decades,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. “We’re very fortunate to have the enthusiastic volunteers of the Friends of Herrontown Woods, who have already done extensive and exceptional mainte nance work on the network of trails and stream crossings, and have planted a botanical garden.” A year ago, Mercer County agreed to transfer ownership of the property to the town of Princeton, resolving years of discussion about the fate of the park, which includes a house and cottage formerly owned by the renowned mathematician and

his wife Elizabeth, who gave the property to the county in 1957 and 1974. In addition to his own work in mathematics, Veblen has been acclaimed for saving lives and careers in bringing the Institute for Advanced Study to Princeton, helping to make the U.S. ascendent in the world of mathematics, and initiating the open space movement in Princeton. Describing Veblen as “a visionary and humanitarian,” Hiltner, who is a botanist and naturalist, added, “Learning more about him makes our work all the more meaningful, to protect and restore buildings and land the Veblens so loved and wished to share at Herrontown Woods.” The FOHW have returned t h e g rou n d arou n d t h e house to the original grade and discovered in the process long-buried stone walls and parts of an elaborate drainage system. They have also cleared away a sea of invasive plants in order to plant the native Phoenix Garden, looking to now add labels and pathways to provide a place where visitors can learn more about native plants of Princeton. Restoring vistas by removing brush, FOHW volunteers weeded out invasive species and planted hazelnut, pawpaw, and the rarely seen butternut tree to establish the beginnings of an edible forest. FOHW also takes care of a replanted detention basin that catches runoff from the Smoyer Park parking lot, helping the town and Partners for Fish and Wildlife (a federal agency) transform it from turf grass into a native wet meadow. Girl Scout Cadette Troop 72905 from Princeton recently helped plant seeds of additional native wildflow-

ers, and there is a project in the works to create podcasts so that visitors can learn more about Her rontow n Woods’ cultural and natural features, including the magnetic rocks found there. Hiltner, who is a botanist and naturalist, is looking forward to focusing the FOHW’s energies on renovating and repurposing the buildings. “We feel this project is transformative for Princeton,” he said. It includes history, ecology, and sustainability.” He is hopeful that they can soon get insurance so that volunteers and professionals can make preliminary repairs on the buildings to head off further deterioration in the property that has been vacant for about 20 years. FOH W, w w w.fohw.org, has already received several five-figure donations without even asking, Hiltner reported, and they are working on a fundraising plan to approach individuals and institutions. “Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study have not shown interest as yet,” Hiltner said, “but as we gain momentum I hope they will see this as something they should support.” Hiltner emphasized the importance of “taking care of buildings and plantings and legacies.” He noted, “I know what happens when the weeds, or a leak in a roof, or even an imbalance in the atmosphere’s chemistry, are not taken care of quickly. There’s been this tendency to undervalue the taking care of things, particularly those that come to us for free, and the Veblen House and Herrontown Woods, like so much of what nature provides, were and continue to be a pure gift.” —Donald Gilpin

TAKING CARE OF LEGACIES: Friends of Herrontown Woods (FOHW) volunteers installed plant labels, with QR codes that connect to native plant information on the group’s website, at a rain garden designed to catch runoff. Princeton Council last week agreed to accept ownership of the Herrontown Woods property from Mercer County and is currently working on a formal agreement with FOHW to proceed with work on the grounds and renovations of the buildings that used to be the Veblen homestead.

Thoughtful, Responsible Homeowners Should Be Careful When Planting Trees on Property Borders

To the Editor: I read with interest your article concerning maple trees planted many years ago bordering Ms. Chernaya’s property and that of RB Homes on Hawthorne Avenue [“Threat to Trees on Hawthorne Avenue Is Finally Addressed,” July 4, page one]. I agree that we should do all we can to protect and take care of our beautiful old trees. For that same reason, thoughtful and responsible homeowners these days should be careful when planting trees on their property borders, that they think of their neighbors and not plant trees with aggressive root systems that could damage property foundations, driveways, etc., and take care of their trees to prevent any such damage. ALMA WILLIAMS Wheatsheaf Lane

To the Editor: I voted for the previous $80 million school referendum since it was the right thing to do in providing needed capital improvements for the future. Now, 14 years later, we are being asked for an additional $130 million for some needed improvements, but others that are questionable. As a project manager for the construction of seven schools at the NJ School Development Authority, I noted wasted expenditures as architects strove to create stateof-the-art schools at our expense. Without adequate input from teachers, parents, students, and the community, design follows an architect’s assumptions. Architects are not educators. The proposed referendum needs more review from the Princeton community that will be responsible for a 30-year tax obligation for Princeton students and Cranbury students. We need to approve priorities like security, AC, and the crowded conditions that exist now. But the wish list for $130 million needs further review of numerous BOE (Board of Education) assumptions, such as student growth projections. Town Council has submitted an Affordable Housing Plan to meet the requirement of 472 apartments by proposing that developers construct an additional 1,888 market rate homes or apartments, resulting in extraordi-

nary future student growth and perhaps another school bond issue in coming years. This is the equivalent of nearly nine AvalonBay developments, regardless of how they are spread throughout Princeton. The last referendum improvements to the high school resulted in lawsuits and compromised settlements that did not cover the total costs, with construction and design deficiencies that exist to this day. Let’s not rush into a $130 million concept that needs community and educator input. Vote for a sensible plan that addresses needed improvements, not a plan that exceeds those of similar school districts by 300 percent. PETER MADISON Snowden Lane

Suggesting That The School Construction Referendum Be Scheduled for Election Day

To the Editor: The Board of Education should schedule the school construction referendum for Election Day, to be sure that the greatest possible number of citizens will participate in the voting. It would be unseemly to do otherwise. This issue is of great consequence to our town, so the fullest exercise of our democracy takes precedence. It’s the right civics lesson for our children, too!

National Summer Learning Day Prompts Letter On Efforts to Combat Summer Learning Loss

To the Editor: Summer is the most unequal time in America! Research tells us that ALL students lose ground over the summer months when they are not in school. While middle- and upper-income families can access top-notch enrichment programs, low-income families have few if any equivalent opportunities. So many of the resources available to them during the school year come to an abrupt halt during the summer months. Thursday, July 12 was National Summer Learning Day, a national advocacy day for keeping kids safe, healthy, and learning every summer. According to the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA), the achievement gap between children from high- vs. low-income families is roughly 30-40 percent larger among children born in 2001 than among those born 25 years earlier. This “summer slide” is what frequently happens to low-income children during the summer months, putting them further behind higher-income children who have access to summer learning programs. At the Princeton-Blairstown Center, we have worked to combat summer learning loss for 110 years. Each summer, 600 students, primarily from Trenton and Newark, travel to our 264-acre campus in Blairstown, New Jersey for our award-winning, week-long Summer Bridge Program. This academic enrichment and leadership development program is provided free of charge. Middle and high school students spend three hours a day engaged in hands-on literacy, STEM, and project-based learning; an hour and a half in waterfront activities such as swimming, canoeing, and kayaking; and three hours a day working on their social-emotional skills through ropes and challenge course activities that focus on leadership, team-building, communication, and problem-solving skills. At the end of the week, students make a final presentation to their peers and select a new or gently used book during our book fair to take home to ensure the learning continues back home. This year, we are proud to say our Summer Bridge Program is a finalist for the NSLA’s Excellence in Learning Award. In honor of National Summer Learning Day, I urge everyone in our community to support evidence-based, high-quality summer programs like ours to reduce the summer learning loss for young people from low-income communities and help ensure they have an equal opportunity when they return to school in September.

To the Editor: As expressed in last week’s Mailbox by Brian Philippi and elsewhere by other community members, I am writing to voice my shared disappointment with the University’s abrupt and unnecessary kicking out of the many, longtime community members of Dillon Gym. Those members have long (for decades) used the gym for their fitness and health. To suddenly have it closed to them seems excessive and cold-hearted. And the reason given, overcrowding, has been noted by community members as disingenuous, if not an outright lie. We hope that the University will re-consider and reinstate access to the gym. Consultation and re-scheduling access rather than summarily cancelling would be the responsible approach. That the University has acted in the manner that it has is frankly a shock. (Albeit in a time of such shocks.) H. K. FAIRMAN, JR. Mount Lucas Road

the level of stress for me or make me feel safer than if the sharrows disappeared. I would support signs that say “Bikes may use full lane” as I have seen with my front wheel in Bordentown. That is still not as good a solution as a permanent bike lane. Those signs cause drivers to be caught off-guard. Even though I don’t talk out loud and usually don’t make noise, I know that some of you are upset with the administration because your parking spaces were taken temporarily. I understand that you travel more than five miles to get to your jobs so biking to work doesn’t work. Hopefully, the administration can reach a deal with the Municipal Garage to give all of the gas-burners affected reduced parking rates. The man steering me and I both know how much safer it is for all users to have permanent bike lanes: small truck drivers, car drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Accidents and deaths will be reduced significantly. We wheely [sic] need to make bike lanes as much a part of the infrastructure as practical for everyone’s sake. Please come to the town Council meeting on July 23 to show your support for the introduction of an ordinance to make these bike lanes permanent on Wiggins Street/Hamilton Avenue.

To say “we have seen it all” on the roads of this country is putting it mildly. We have traveled through all levels of stressful conditions. The condition that produces the least stress is pavement that “is as smooth as a baby’s bottom” with a protected bike lane. Beggars can’t be choosers; so we will accept a bike lane with filled-in pot holes. When we ride in a bike lane such as was experimented with in May on Wiggins Street/Hamilton Avenue, we do not need to fear vehicles moving into our lane. They can still cut us off at corners with no warning; but our place on the road is marked clearly. This also serves to lower vehicle speed. We are much more inclined to use the roadway rather than the sidewalk. There still remains no good way to escape road hazards but the law says we must ride “as far to the right AS PRACTICAL.” Currently; the roadway has sharrows.

on value of homes owned. This is nuts: not everyone in Princeton owns a home whose average value is $857,000. Princeton is committed to “diversity” and “inclusiveness” for the entire community. Will the passing of this bond issue jeopardize the lives of some who already live here? Is that social price too high to be worth paying if it results in the drain from Princeton of some of our population who are most vulnerable (and still in need of tax relief after the devastations of the 2010 re-assessment)? You are all obligated to present the true numbers before this school bond initiative can be considered by the public. Thank you for your immediate assistance. I cannot personally vote for this bond issue until I know its impact upon Princetonians across the financial spectrum. DANIEL A. HARRIS Dodds Lane

To the Editor: I would add now only these points to the letter below: 1) renters pay property taxes in the form of increased rents charged them by their property-owning, tax-liable landlords; 2) the bond referendum, whether split or not, should be postponed until the November Election Day, to allow the School Board sufficient time to assemble necessary financial-impact information and to present this material in a comprehensive way to a voting public that cannot be expected to vote in ignorance on matters of great import to their financial lives. ——— To Steven Cochrane and Members of the Princeton School Board: I am terrified about the tax consequences of this bond ordinance (if passed) upon each and every segment of the Princeton population. Has the Board conducted a tax analysis of the consequences of this debt upon the major income brackets of our population? If not, why not? You should all realize that presenting figures concerning an ”average” rise in taxes is not sufficient. We all need a breakdown of consequences for every income “group”: 1) Those earning above/below X-$$$, 2) in each of which years? Dollar-estimates you have presented so far are based only

BOOK REVIEW

After the All-Star Game: Whitman, Twain, and Crane Step Up to the Plate Baseball is the hurrah game of the republic! —Walt Whitman, April 1889 he Good Grey Poet was speaking to his Boswell, Horace L. Traubel, whose notes of conversations between 1888 and Whitman’s death in 1892 were eventually published in the multi-volume series, With Walt Whitman in Camden. Walt went on to call baseball “America’s game.” It has “the snap, go, fling, of the American atmosphere — belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life.” The “good game of baseball” is also mentioned in the first edition of Leaves of Grass (1855), along with the racecourse, picnics, jigs, and “he-festivals, with blackguard jibes, ironical license, bull-dances, drinking, laughter.” One of the first play-by-play accounts in print is by Whitman in the July 23, 1846 Brooklyn Eagle. Describing outs made as “hands lost,” Walt observes that the Putnams loss to the Atlantics was due to “careless play” in the “fourth innings” and three players being “so seriously injured as to be unable to run their bases.” The Satanic Curve Ball Four decades later, in May 1889, Horace Traubel recalls a curious exchange in which Walt wonders whether “the fellow who pitches the ball aims to pitch it in such a way that the batter cannot hit it? Gives it a twist — what not — so it slides off, or won’t be struck fairly?” Hearing that indeed this is “the modern rule,” Whitman roundly denounces it: (“I should call it everything that is damnable!”): “The wolf, the snake, the cur, the sneak, all seem entered into the modern sportsman — though I ought not to say that, for the snake is a snake because he is born so, and man the snake for other reasons, it may be said.” Presumably this means that Walt’s enjoyment of “hurrah baseball” in the era of split-fingered fastballs, sliders, and sinkers would be confined to All-Star game festivities like Monday’s home-run derby, where nothing but honest straightforward pitches were thrown to the competing sluggers. The recent death of Tab Hunter, who played “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal Mo” in the film version of Damn Yankees, has a certain out-of-left-field relevance to last night’s game, the first played in the nation’s capital in almost 50 years. The team for whom Joe sold his soul was the Washington Senators, the host of the 1969 game, notable mainly for the fact that the splashdown of Apollo 11 prevented President Richard Nixon from throwing out the first ball. At this writing, President Donald Trump is unlikely to make an appearance, given his low approval rating in D.C. Another factor, in the context of selling souls, would be Monday’s infamous meeting with Vladimir Putin. Knights on the Diamond Mark Twain, another native son of Hannibal Mo., developed an active inter-

est in baseball after moving to Hartford in 1874. At a game between the Hartford Dark Blues and their National Association rivals the Boston Red Stockings, Twain kept a makeshift scorecard noting safe hits, foul tips, high balls, low balls, and long flies. Twain’s vision of the game as played in A Connecticut Yankee in King’s Arthur’s Court reads like a preview of Monty Python. “There wasn’t a knight in either team who wasn’t a sceptered sovereign,” one team wearing “chain-mail ulsters,” the other “plate-armor of Bessemer steel.” According to Hank, the Yankee of the title, “their practice in the field was the most fantastic thing I ever saw. Being ball-proof, they never skipped out of t he way, but stood still and took the result; when a B e s s em er was at the bat and a ball hit him, it would bound a hundred and fifty yards sometimes. And when a man was running, and threw himself on his stomach to slide to his base, it was like an ironclad coming into port.” At first Hank appointed men of n o r a n k to act as umpires, but “the umpire’s first decision was us ua lly his last; they broke him in two with a bat, and his friends toted him home on a shutter. When it was noticed that no umpire ever survived a game, umpiring got to be unpopular.” Baseball Weather That most Whitmanesque of novelists Thomas Wolfe called baseball “not merely ‘the great national game,’ but really a part of the whole weather of our lives, of the thing that is our own, of the whole fabric, the million memories of America.” Baseball weather is also the subject of the April 10, 1856 entry in the journal of Henry David Thoreau, wherein he notes that “some fields are dried sufficiently for the games of ball — with which this season is commonly ushered in.” He associates this day “with games of base-ball played over behind the hills in the russet fields toward Sleepy Hollow where the snow was just melted & dried up.” There’s a still earlier literary reference to

the sport and the eventual home of baseball’s Hall of Fame in James Fenimore Cooper’s Home As Found (1838), which refers to “playing ball on the ball-grounds” of Cooperstown. “A Capital Catcher” Among major American authors, Stephen Crane may have been the most talented ballplayer. “Rated the best infield man of his time,” according to his biographer R.W. Stallman, he “declined a post on a major baseball team after deciding to risk his future as a writer.” Playing for the Syracuse University varsity squad in 1891, Crane began as a catcher, and, as recalled by one of his fellow teammates, “He had the habit of striking his bare, clenched fist three or four times into the palm of his gloved hand to express his approval of a ‘strike,’“ and w h e n e ve r a strikeout was recorded, “an expression of diabolical glee would light up his face.” On the field, “he was constantly in motion, agile on his feet, a fas t bas e r unner, and a good batter although not a hard hitter.” Even when he was writi n g for t h e Asbury Park Tribune and had begun his first nove l, Ma g g ie, Crane kept his hand in. The day he met established author Hamlin Garland, who introduced him to the literary world as “a writer who has sprung into life fully armed,” Crane suggested they play catch along the beach. Garland thought him “a capital catcher of curved balls,” and described subsequent pitch-and-catch sessions and conversations on “theories of pitching in-shoots or out drops to confound the laws of astronomy by making a sphere alter its course in midair” (imagine Walt Whitman’s reaction to these violations of baseball civility). Even after winning fame with The Red Badge of Courage (1896), Crane told his editor, “I am rather more proud of my baseball ability than some other things.” When Garland asked him how he could write about war without seeing combat, Crane cited baseball: “The opposing team is an enemy tribe.”

War Games According to Civil War Trails online, Abe Lincoln “learned and loved the game prior to his election campaign in 1860.” During the war “he even had a baseball field constructed on the White House lawn.” Baseball-savvy New Yorkers inducted and instructed fellow soldiers from other Northern states, with generals sending reports “saying promote baseball activities in your camps.” Southern soldiers learned to play in prisoner of war camps and there were games “between Northern and Southern teams,” with the sport reportedly played on the battlefront. “George Putman, a Union soldier fighting in Texas wrote home saying, ‘We were playing baseball near the front lines after a break in our skirmish. Suddenly there was a scattering of fire, which three outfielders caught the brunt: the centerfielder was hit and captured. The left and right field managed to get back to our lines. The attack was repelled, but we had not only lost our centerfielder, but the only ball we had.’” All Stars The iconic image of Walt Whitman reproduced with the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass is a long way from Camden’s bearded patriarch fretting over the perfidious curve ball. The look he’s giving the reader might be compared to the batterintimidating stare of a pitcher who is about to throw everything he has; forget measuring the speed of his fast ball: “You shall no longer take things at second or third hand … nor look through the eyes of the dead … nor feed on the spectres in books.” A stanza later he says “There was never any more inception than there is now,/Nor any more youth or age than there is now;/And will never be any more perfection than there is now,/Nor any more heaven and hell than there is now.” On a lighter note, the All-Star game had me thinking of a literary equivalent with that hard-staring Leaves of Grass Walt on the mound and maybe Stephen Crane behind the plate. But then the idea of characters as players worked better, with, say, an oldschool hurler like Natty “Hawkeye” Bumppo of the Lake Glimmerglass Leatherstockings, whose credo is “Use, not waste,” and Chingachgook as his catcher. You could have a Moby Dick outfield of great arms, with harpooneers Queegueg in right, Tashtego in center, Dagoo in left. Still, I’d rather go with Robert Atwan’s “Great Moments in Literary Baseball” in the May 1987 Atlantic, which begins with Henry James making baseball history as the only pitcher ever to issue a walk to the lead-off batter because “I prefer the extra complication.” Atwan also brings in Kafka, Hemingway, and Thomas Wolfe, but my favorite is Jorge Luis Borges coming on in relief for the 1936 Washington Senators and throwing “a slow curve ball that never arrived at the plate.” ut when I put together the words Washington and Senators I don’t feel like laughing any more. —Stuart Mitchner

If you’ve been struggling with back pain for any length of time, it can feel like it will never go away. What’s worse, you’re probably even more hopeless if you’ve tried any form of physical t herapy or chiropractic care before.

You’re left frustrated and with no choice but to live with it and restrict your active lifestyle, or worse, to consider injections and risky surgery. We want you to know that there is a way to end your pain and regain the joy of movement, no matter what you’ve tried before. We’ve helped hundreds of active adults make back pain a thing of the past, and we’d love to show you how. We have a special, one-time offer for Town Topics readers.

Concierge Medicine

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new trend in healthcare, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gaining momentum in our area. 0g AO`OV 3[WZg 5WZPS`b =`WUW\OZZg ^cPZWaVSR W\ >`W\QSb]\ ;OUOhW\S 2` 0O`PO`O / 0`]e\ ZSTb O\R 2` :g\\S 0 9]aa]e ]T >`W\QSb]\ :WTSabgZS ;SRWQW\S

or the past two years, Dr. Lynne B. Kossow and Dr. Barbara A. Brown of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine have offered their patients far more than the traditional primary care practice. Most doctors see 25-30 patients a day for an average of 15 minutes, but Drs. Kossow and Brown see six to eight patients a day for up to an hour. In addition to providing treatment for acute illnesses, the doctors act as their clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; healthcare coaches through Lifestyle Medicine, a scientific approach to patient wellness by effecting changes in areas such as diet, physical activity, and stress management. With the current shortage of primary care physicians and the abundance of high volume practices, this type of individualized attention is rare. However, by switching to a concierge format, doctors like Kossow and Brown are able to practice medicine that consists of this broad-spectrum care. Concierge medicine, also known as retainer-based medicine, is an umbrella term for private medical care wherein patients pay an out-of-pocket fee in exchange for enhanced care. Born in the 1990s, concierge medicine was once thought of as a service for the wealthy that charged patients a lofty fee for luxury medicine. In recent years, it has evolved to accommodate patients across all income brackets, leading to expanding interest among patients and their primary care doctors. According to a survey released by the American Academy of Private Physicians at the AAPP 2015 Fall Summit, more than 45 percent of 862 independent physicians would consider a concierge or similar membership model in the next three years. This may be due in part to our aging population needing increased and varied medical services, leading to an imbalanced patient/doctor ratio. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of insured patients, putting a further strain on primary care doctors. As a result, physicians are often unable to dedicate enough time to each patient. In the hopes of increasing both job and patient satisfaction in a financially sustainable way, primary physicians like Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are looking toward concierge medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where conventional medicine is failing is in the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases that are becoming an epidemic in the United States today,â&#x20AC;? explain the doctors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current insurance model is built upon a problembased economic reimbursement that encourages doctors to address medical problems very quickly. This leads to most doctors rushing to see 25-30 patients per day in order to make ends meetâ&#x20AC;ŚThis is not how we have ever practiced. We always want to have the time to address the root cause of diseases that are preventable today.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past two years, we have been offering our Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program as an optional program for our patients,â&#x20AC;? they continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifestyle Medicine is a 21st century approach to healthcare that consolidates the very best characteristics of traditional medicine with the profound impact of lifestyle behaviors on health. As our program grew, it became readily apparent to us that integrating Lifestyle Medicine into our internal medicine practice

was the best way for us to continue to provide exceptional careâ&#x20AC;Ś We feel that the concierge model is the only way to effectively [do that].â&#x20AC;? Concierge medical practices come in various forms, including those that reject insurance plans all together, but this is not the case for Princeton Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown accept insurance for all covered medical services. In addition, their patients pay an annual fee of $1,200 for the Lifestyle Medicine Concierge program, which gives them access to an elevated level of care. Trained at the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the doctors are at the vanguard of their field, having lectured about their practice development model at The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine Conference in 2015. They are also members of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Physicians. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice is unique in that it offers patients comprehensive conventional medical care combined with lifestyle counseling. Patients interested in a natural approach to disease prevention are provided in-depth, individualized coaching based on their needs. The doctors can assist with everything from quitting smoking to creating a manageable diet and exercise plan. According to the doctors, this is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to prevent, reverse, or slow down heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, and some cancers. The concierge model offers Princeton Lifestyle Medicine patients additional benefits including access to the doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; emails, cell phone numbers, and private phone line, extended patient office visits, a one-hour consultation, and same or next day appointments. As a result, patients see Drs. Kossow and Brown not only as accomplished medical doctors, but health advocates, mentors, and even friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our practice structure allows us to spend more time educating our patients about what may be going on with them medically,â&#x20AC;? the doctors explain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are better able to work with them as partners in their care and advocate for them with their specialists or if they are in the hospital. We provide tremendous support and guidance to them and their caretakers or family. We are happy to have this enhanced communication with our patients. It allows us to make social visits when they are hospitalized at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro so that we can stay in close touch while they are receiving care.â&#x20AC;? Concierge practices like Princeton Lifestyle Medicine focus the healthcare system on its most vital component: the patient-doctor relationship. The model emphasizes quality care instead of quick care, benefitting both parties. Dr. Brown and Kossow are now board certified as specialists in the practice of Lifestyle Medicine and are the only physicians in the Princeton area who are board certified in both Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. As leaders in both concierge and Lifestyle medicine, it comes as no surprise that Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are at the forefront of this effort, bringing Princeton into the future of healthcare.

What does Princeton have in common with Giverny? Its own corps of plein-air painters actively immortalizing natural scenes in and around the town. D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Evelyne V. Johnson Gallery shimmers with plein-air art just completed, on view through July 25. Heather Barros and friends take themselves to unique nature sites, such as Grounds For Sculpture, Prospect Gardens, and the fishing bridge on Carnegie Lake to capture momentary beauty. Selected artists are Helene Mazur, Lucia Stout, Jordan Spector, and Heather Barros. All “Plein-Air Painters of Princeton” art is for sale, with a percentage supporting D&R Greenway’s preservation and stewardship mission. For more than 25 years, Heather Barros has taught art to children and adults

to inspire students to find and hone t heir creative centers, whether through puppet theater, yoga, or enjoying the natural world with her group of plein-air painters. She has said that what she likes best about teaching is what she learns from students. Indoor classes take place on the campus of Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart, 1128 The Great Road, Princeton. http://artcollaborations.net. Barros may paint from Greenway Meadows Park in Princeton, or create an imaginary path through a foggy field. “When you paint en plein air, you stand in the same place for a long time … long enough to meet people,” says Barros. “It’s fun to see mothers picnicking with their children, and teenagers meeting for a tryst.” Sometimes Barros works from photos, sometimes from life, and sometimes

ter at all three,” she says. “Painting from memory, you understand what’s important and it helps to simplify.” D&R Greenway Land Trust is at 1 Preservation Place, Princeton. Galler y hours are Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (609) 9244646 or visit the website at www.drgreenway.org.

“Wanderings & Wonderings” images, visit www.michaelschweigart.com. At Artists’ Gallery Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville presents new landscape paintings by artists Joe Kazimierczyk and Michael Schweigart in an exhibition of their “Wanderings & Wonderings.” The exhibit runs August 9 through September 2, with an opening reception on Saturday, August 11, from 5 to 8 pm. In “Wanderings & Wonderings,” both artists express the sense of wonder and curiosity that they find along their travels and wanderings. Michael Schweigar t’s inspiration comes from taking the road less traveled with his focus on what characterizes a region. Scenes of coastal Maine, parts of eastern Pennsylvania, and New Jersey make up his part in this show. Joe Kazimierczyk gathers inspiration from his hiking trips as he wanders the forests and mountains of northern New Jersey. “The bulk of my work in this show is inspired by two of my favorite hiking destinations: the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and the Sourland Mountain, which is literally my back yard,” says Kazim iercz yk, “It’s such a joy to watch these places change through the seasons and to capture that on canvas.” W hile both ar tists are inspired by the landscape, each presents a unique perspective and way of seeing the world. Schweigart combines technique and medium to create paintings that depict bucolic landscapes and seascapes. His works display texture and atmosphere, w ith a presence of man and a sense of place. He has been exhibiting his landscapes for more than three decades in galleries from New York City to South Jersey, Philadelphia, and the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. His paintings have won awards and are included in many public and private collections. For more information and

Kazimierczyk has been exhibiting his work extensively for over 10 years. He is the recipient of many awards from the area’s most prestigious juried exhibitions, including Phillips’ Mill, Ellarslie, and Artsbridge. He has also shown his work in several featured solo shows throughout the region. For more information and images, visit www.joekaz.com.

College Classmates Meet for a Reunion in “Uncommon Women and Others”; Princeton Summer Theater Offers Strong Production of Wasserstein Play

rinceton Summer Theater is delivering a polished production of Uncommon Women and Others at Princeton University’s Hamilton Murray Theater. A press release for this season’s previous production, Tick, Tick…Boom!, states that it “sets the stage for a summer of performances that center around self-discovery as seen through critical turning points in our characters’ lives.” That theme — as well as pressure to succeed with personal and professional accomplishments by the time one reaches a certain age — is shared by this play, which was written by Wendy Wasserstein (1950-2006). Both Tick, Tick…Boom! and Uncommon Women and Others represent an early point in the careers of their playwrights. Wasserstein’s play was first produced at Yale University in 1975, as her master’s thesis. Following its initial production at Yale, Uncommon Women and Others premiered off-Broadway in 1977; it was revived off-Broadway in 1994. “It actually started because my friend [playwright Christopher] Durang … suggested it to me,” Wasserstein says in a 1993 interview. “He said, ‘You know, you should write about your college remembrances.’ I wanted to write an all-women’s play.” The bittersweet comedy’s focus on a circle of female friends was a factor in its selection. Uncommon Women and Others “follows a group of graduates from Mount Holyoke College [Wasserstein’s undergraduate alma mater] at the dawn of second-wave feminism as they make new friendships, fall in and out of love, and imagine a brighter future for themselves,” Princeton Summer Theater remarks in a press release. “This narrative fits into a larger effort that … seeks not only to explore self-discovery but also to uplift the voices of women.” “Wasserstein painted an indelible snapshot of what the mid-1970s were for many young women: a whirlwind of new opportunities; a shifting and uncertain political landscape around the position of women in American society; and … heavy pressures, both internal and external, as to how women should structure their lives both professionally and personally,” director Daniel Krane adds in his program notes. Aided by Jeffrey Van Velsor’s scenery, Topics Krane’s staging emphasizes the play’s

exploration of a tightly-knit on-campus community. A half-circle of august columns flanks a stately set of tables and seats. This central area doubles as a restaurant in 1978 for the opening and closing scenes, in which some of the former classmates meet for a reunion; and Mount Holyoke College — six years earlier — for the remainder of the play. Off to one side is a desk belonging to Carter, a writer. Carter begins the play by repeating the phrase “uncommon women” with more than a trace of skepticism in her voice. She and the other women regard each other uneasily for much of the play, particularly in the first act. As Carter, Chamari WhiteMink is adept at conveying a wide range of emotions through subtle body language, particularly the use of facial expressions. One of the most satisfying character developments to watch is Carter’s gradual inclusion in the circle of friends. The women who are present at the reunion include Kate, whose ambition is to become a lawyer; Holly, who faces inter-

minable pressure from her parents to lose weight; Samantha, who is willing to settle for a traditional marriage; Muffet, who is undecided as to her preference for an independent professional life or a relationship; and Rita, a free spirit who wishes neither for dependence on a man, nor a professional life in which she would be a facsimile of an ambitious man. A cue for a transition between the reunion and a flashback to six years earlier — when the women were at Mount Holyoke — comes in the form of a speech in which Mrs. Plumm, the housemother of North Stimson Hall, welcomes the students to tea. “The tea fund was established by Lucy Valerie Bingsbee, class of 1906,” she states, adding, “I knew Lucy. I never cared for her much. I hope you all have a good year.” Carol Lee brings an air of tacit authority and dignified reserve to the role of Mrs. Plumm. She is particularly amusing in a graduation sequence; after each graduate announces their future plans, Mrs. Plumm

“UNCOMMON WOMEN AND OTHERS”: Performances are underway for Princeton Summer Theater’s production of “Uncommon Women and Others.” Directed by Daniel Krane, the play runs through July 22 at Princeton University’s Hamilton Murray Theater. Mrs. Plumm (Carol Lee, center) serves tea to residents of North Stimson Hall, from left: Rita (Allison Spann), Kate (Kat Giordano), Susie (E Harper Nora Jerimijenko-Conley), and Leilah (Michelle Navis). Photo by Sarah Golobish. “Uncommon Women and Others” will play at the Hamilton Murray Theater in Murray Dodge Hall, Princeton University, through July 22.

answers “Good luck, dear” in a variety of tones of voice, subtly but clearly conveying her opinion regarding the feasibility of each stated goal. Classmates not at the reunion, but whom we meet in the scenes set in the past, include Carter; Leilah, whose friendship with Kate is complicated; and the aptly named Susie Friend, who organizes the house parties and events such as FatherDaughter Weekend. Allison Spann brings exuberance to the feisty Rita, and E Harper Nora Jeremijenko-Conley is sprightly as the gregarious Susie. Maeve Brady stands out with her poignant delivery of a monologue in which Holly, through a phone conversation, describes her classmates and reveals her anxieties. Kat Giordano as Kate; Michelle Navis as Leilah; Lydia Watt as Samantha; and Rebecca Wei Hsieh as Muffet, bring everything that is required to ensure that their characters have a distinctive voice. C. Luke Soucy and Hannah Semmelhack are suitably unctuous in prerecorded segments describing the high standards the college expects its graduates to meet. The elegant costumes by Keating Helfrich evoke the time period and reflect the characters. Susie’s checkered skirt contrasts with Carter’s dark one. Kate’s bright red jacket and skirt complement Mrs. Plumm’s delicate outfit and necklace. The color palette, which largely consists of varying shades of red and white, echoes Jeffrey Van Velsor’s set. Megan Berry’s lighting underscores the transitions between past and present. It is helpful that the program offers a glossary explaining the dialogue’s period-specific cultural references, many of which might confuse younger audience members. However, these references are crucial because they clearly have played a role — good and bad — in making these women who they are. One of the concepts Wasserstein probes is the extent to which films and literature set personal — and societal — expectations. n developing her characters, Wasserstein lets diverse and opposing personality types bounce off of each other. In Princeton Summer Theater’s production, the multilayered script is well served by a versatile cast with a strong rapport between its members. —Donald H. Sanborn III

Stephen Holden, writing in The New York Times, said, “rather than studiously copying the sounds of the past, this band recombines familiar sounds to create its own brand of classicism [that] transcends time and idiom.” This band is featured on the recordings The Howard Fishman Quartet Volumes I, II, and III, all featuring the primary soloists Russell Farhang on violin and Peter Ecklund on cornet.

CINEMA REVIEW

Uncle Drew

Geriatric Legends Against Youngbloods in Rucker Park Hoops Comedy

six of the funniest comedians around: Tiffany Haddish, J.B. Smoove, Mike Epps, Nick Kroll, Lil Rel Howery, and Erica Ash. The film has cameo appearances by George “Iceman” Gervin, Jerry West, Dikembe Mutombo, Bill Walton, David Robinson, Steve Nash, Rick Barry, and Chris Mullin, among others. Just past the point of departure, we find Dax (Howery) putting together a team to enter in the upcoming Rucker tournament. But when he loses not only his best players but also his wife (Haddish) to the perennial winning coach (Kroll), Dax prevails upon geriatric Uncle Drew (Irving) for help in assembling another team. Drew embarks on a cross-country road trip to coax his long-lost buddies out of retirement for one last hurrah on the court at Rucker. However, each member has a life of their own and needs to be convinced to join the team. Big Fella (Shaq) is now the sensei of a thriving karate school; Lights (Miller) is legally blind; Boots (Robinson) is wheelchair-bound; and Preacher (Webber) has a bat-wielding, disapproving wife (Leslie), plus a church congregation he’ll have to abandon. Of course, at Rucker, the reunited old timers are practically laughed off the court, until they show that they still got game. But can the cagey old seniors prevail in the championship match against the youngbloods coached by Dax’s trashtalking nemesis? E x c e l l e n t ( HHHH ) . Rated PG-13 for profanity, suggestive material, and brief nudity. Running time: 103 minutes.

ince 1950, Rucker Park has been home to a popular basketball tournament that takes place on an outdoor court located at 155th Street in Harlem. Many promising prospects have honed their skills on the world famous proving ground en route to NBA careers: Kevin Durant, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, “Dr. J” (Julius Erving), and Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, to name a few. Uncle Drew is a hilarious hoops movie that pays tribute to Rucker Park as well as to the athletes who have mesmerized generations of fans who have attended the annual summer classic. Directed by Charles Stone III (Drumline), the picture stars the Boston Celtics’ Kyrie Irving as the title character, but don’t expect to be able to recognize him under all the plastic makeup that turns him into a senior citizen. The same can be said of Shaquille O’Neal, Reggie Miller, Chris Webber, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie, as they all transition into old timers, too.

PU Alum Currier Showing Grit on International Stage, Competing for Canada at World Lax Championships

ach Currier’s combination of versatility and grit helped make him one of the more uniquely productive players in the history of Princeton University men’s lacrosse history. During his senior season in the spring of 2017, star midfielder Currier, a 6’0, 180-pound native of Peterborough, Ontario, produced 24 goals, 34 assists, 130 ground balls, a team-best 27 caused turnovers, and a 57 percent winning percentage on face-offs for the Tigers. Moving up to Major League Lacrosse (MLL) that summer to join the Denver Outlaws, Currier continued to be a dynamic playmaker, earning AllStar honors and helping the Outlaws advance to the MLL championship game.

Over the winter, Currier emerged as one of the top rookies in the indoor National Lacrosse League with the Calgary Roughnecks. This week, Currier is displaying his skill set and tenacity on an international stage, playing for team Canada in the FIL (Federation of International Lacrosse) World Championships in Netanya, Israel. “It is something I have dreamed about, being able to represent Canada,” said Currier, who has contributed two goals and an assist so far in the tournament to help Canada to go 3-1 to start group play as it looks to defend its title. “I have done it at U19 level but that is playing with boys. Now that I am able to do it on the men’s level, it is huge.

I am really happy for it. It is definitely one of the biggest accomplishments in my lacrosse career, something that I hope can turn into a gold medal.” Moving up to the MLL helped Currier raise the level of his game. “Making the transition was tough, especially with the shot clock and the skill level, of course,” said Currier, who is based in Michigan where he works full-time for Warrior Sports as a product development engineer focusing on improving lacrosse stick design. “But with my box background, being able to play fast and being able to adapt to new positions, that helped me. There was an adjustment period for sure but the great coaching staff helped me

along the way.” Going indoors for the NLL was an easier transition for Currier. “I definitely had an edge on most of the younger crowd who got drafted just straight out of high school,” said Currier. “You go from playing lacrosse at whatever level you are to playing to the best in the world. There are some guys in this league that are just out of this world in terms of skills. You have got to be at your best to try to stop them from scoring. They are going to get their goals and you try to limit them.” Looking ahead to the world championships, Currier saw taking care of the ball as a key to success for Canada. “I think possession is critical at the international level,” said Currier. “There is no shot clock, there is no time limit to clear the ball. That is going to be huge, just being able

ON THE BALL: Zach Currier chases down the ball in a 2017 game during his senior season with the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team. This week, star midfielder Currier is playing for Canada at the FIL (Federation of International Lacrosse) World Championships in Netanya, Israel. Currier has contributed two goals and an assist to help Canada to go 3-1 to start group play as it looks to defend its title. The semis are slated for July 19 with the championship game scheduled for July 21. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) to play hard and make stops when we need to and score goals when we need to. A lot of it is timing.” Currier’s scrappy, do-everything style should come in handy with the emphasis on ball possession. “I am hoping to do all the dirty work for my teammates,” said Currier. “There are so many skilled guys on my team. I am not going to be able to score as well as they can but I can pick up a ground ball and I can get them the ball and make sure that our defense gets a rest and stuff like that. The biggest part of my game is that I will be able to contribute is picking up the ball, working hard on the defensive end and in transition, and making sure that our team gets as many possessions as we can.” Although Canada topped the U.S. 8-5 in the 2014 Worlds final, Currier knows that the squad can’t take anything for granted as it goes for a repeat. “No matter how many times we win this thing, we will always come in as underdogs because of how strong the U.S.A. team is,” said Currier, who tallied a goal as Canada fell 11-10 to the U.S. last Sunday in a group play matchup. “I think that is an advantage for us because we have nothing to lose. If we go in there and play our best and the U.S.A. beats us, then our hats are off to them. But we are going to do out best to make sure that doesn’t happen.” —Bill Alden

2018 season, which included the program’s third straight Ivy League championship, as well as a Top-5 finish at the NCAA Championships. Princeton went 12-1 during the regular season and retained every Cup it competed for in 2018, including impressive wins over Top-10 opponents Brown and Yale to win the Class of 1987 Trophy and the Eisenberg Cup, respectively.

This is the second AllAmerica honor for Collins, who claimed Second-Team honors in 2017, while both Kallfelz and Sawyer earned their first All-America awards. Collins and Kallfelz are the only two members of the Class of 2019 who have been in Princeton’s top boat for each of the last three Ivy League championship victories. Before they turn

their focus on the 2019 Ivy title, they will join forces in Poznan, Poland, later this month as members of Team USA at the U -23 World Championships. Kallfelz clinched her spot by winning the 1x final at the Senior Trials on Mercer Lake, while Collins and fellow 1V teammate Hadley Irwin were both named to the USA W8+ for the upcoming championships.

He was an elite rower who had won worlds. He was very open with me about what I needed to do better, and that really allowed me to grow.” This spring, Stough showed that growth, taking over as the cox for the Hoya lightweight four and helping pilot it to a bronze medal at

Extolling the squad’s camaraderie, Stough relishes working with her boat mates. “I absolutely love Georgetown, being on the team has really shaped my experience,” said Stough. “I have never been with a group of people that loved each other so much.” L ook ing ahead to her senior year, Stough loves where the program is heading. “I am super excited because we only graduated three seniors this year,” said Stough. “Since I have been at Georgetown, the lightweight team has grown from 14 girls and I think we are going to have 26 next year. It is amazing. I am excited coming off this season. We were coming dead last in the IRA in my freshman year and this year we were able to get the eight in the top four.” —Bill Alden

Where might we find these volcanoes? They could be right in your own backyard. We’re referring to excess mulch piled high into a cone or mound around tree trunks. These mulch volcanoes are killing trees and wasting money on excess material. Volcanoes are bad! What do I need to know to mulch trees the right way? • Start six inches from the tree trunk at ground level and mulch outward to the edge of the dripline to a maximum depth of two inches to four inches. • Keep a two-inch to fourinch layer around, but not touching the base of the tree. Mulch as much of the area under a tree as possible without having mulch touch the trunk. • Never pile-up a cone of mulch around the tree trunk! Mice, insects, and fungus may hide next to the trunk and feed on parts of the tree. The cone-shaped mulch piles and thick layers of mulch also prevent water from reaching a tree’s roots. Tree roots that grow up into the cone of mulch on top of the soil cannot be healthy. • One layer of woven landscape fabric may be used under mulch in heavy weed areas. Never use plastic sheets under the mulch. Plastic sheets block the passage of air and water and stunt root growth. For more information or consultation regarding any volcanoes on your property or any other issues concerning your valuable trees, please call WOODWINDS (609) 924-3500. “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one!’” —C.S. Lewis

Hun Grad Murdock Contributed With Arm, Bat As Post 218 Baseball Produced Solid 7-5 Finish When the Princeton Post 218 American Legion baseball team started the summer 0-10, things could have fallen apart for the squad. Instead, the Post 218 players bonded, going 7-5 over the final 12 games of the campaign. “It was getting to know everybody as a team chemistrywise because we definitely had the talent going into it,” said recently graduated Hun star Chris Murdock, a starting pitcher and infielder/outfielder for Post 218. “We just really didn’t know anyone at the start of it and everybody had things to do at the end of the school year. Once we finally got together, we started playing as a team. We really figured it out and started making a run for it.” With Princeton coming off a 5-2 win over North Hamilton on July 9, Murdock and his teammates were confident of ending the season on a high note when they played at Ewing Post 319 the next day in their season finale. “We had all of the momentum coming into this game; we knew that we weren’t going to lose, no matter what,” asserted Murdock. “We also had [Teddy] Durbin going on the mound; he is one of our better pitchers.” With Durbin producing a solid outing as he gave up a run in 4 2/3 innings and Murdock contributing a hit as Post 218 took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, Princeton pulled away to a 5-3 win to post a final record of 7-15. “It was a good game, we just kept battling,” said Murdock. “We got that one inning where we were able to put up three runs (the top of the sixth) and from there we knew that we had it.” For Murdock, who is heading to Union College where he will be joining its Division III baseball program, playing for Post 218 this summer gave him a chance to hone his skills. “It was pretty good. It was fun to get out on the field because, for Hun, I didn’t really get to do that,” said Murdock. “I got a lot of at-bats and I played left field and second base. I pitched yesterday against North Hamilton and had a good game there. It comes down to my defense; they are always behind me. If the other team gets a hit, I know they will be there to back me up. It is giving me reps, pitching-wise, in the field, and hitting.” Princeton manager 218 Tommy Parker was proud of the way his players kept fighting to the final out.

“I am satisfied because they stuck it out to the end,” said Parker. “We had a nice win last night and we got this one, so it is two in a row. I hope these guys learned something. We had a great group of guys and I think we laid a foundation.” In assessing the team’s slow start, Parker noted that Post 218 squandered some opportunities as the players got up to speed. “We shot ourselves in the foot a few times; we had a lot of one-run losses,” lamented Parker. “We left a lot of runners on base and then it started to coming together. The difference is that I think these guys started adjusting. Even for those who had played before, it is always about the speed of the game here. It is even different than what they are exposed to in high school.” Parker credited the mound work of Murdock and Durbin with helping to spark Post 218’s strong finish. “The pitching has been pretty good all season; we have had a couple of games where they might have been a little flat,” said Parker. “Murdock had some excellent games. Teddy was very good.” Noting that the squad gets most of its players from three

high schools, Princeton High, Princeton Day School, and Hun, Parker realizes that it takes time for guys to develop a good comfort level with each other. “The chemistry comes on the field; it comes after you are out here,” said Parker. “We have a draw from three high schools so you get the cream of the crop, the best of the best. The younger ones that come up get a great experience and it carries over to their next high school season.” Looking ahead, Parker is confident that the strong finish this summer will carry over to the 2019 campaign. “I absolutely think we could be in the playoff hunt next year,” maintained Parker. “We had more one-run losses than any team in the league and we had some big wins. Looking at our on-base totals and what actually scored, if you turn that around a little bit, we are at 12 or 13 wins, maybe more.” Murdock, for his part, believes that Post 218 can be a winning program. “Hopefully we are going to be able to see everybody back next year and we can keep going with this progress to make a possible playoff run,” said Murdock. —Bill Alden

Murdock, a recently graduated Hun School star, helped Post 218 go 7-5 in its final 12 games of the season as it bounced back from a 0-10 start.

PFC Napoli U16 Makes Regional Semis Utilizing Cohesive Style, Clutch Play When his Princeton Football Club (PFC) Napoli girls’ soccer team fell in the final four of the State Cup last season, Milen Nikolov believed the defeat could end up being a blessing in disguise. “When they lost in the semifinal for the state cup on penalty kicks, I told them you are going to get another chance and this is a lesson,” said PFC Napoli head coach Nikolov.

The U16 squad learned its lesson, advancing to the State Cup final this spring and coming through in the clutch to earn the title. “We won the semifinal in OT and the final went to OT and penalty kicks, they showed great character,” said Nikolov, noting the core of the team started playing together in the fall of 2011 when they were in grade school and that he has coached the squad since it was formed.

Competing in the regionals earlier this month, the PFC Napoli was looking to show that it belonged in that competition. “They had no experience playing at this level and the other thing is that they are a very young team,” said Nikolov. “Most of the girls are freshmen, I only have three sophomores. For most of the teams at the regionals, the majority of their players were sophomores. I didn’t want to put high expectations on them. I just told them, let’s go one game at a time and see how it goes.” Things were going very well at the start for PFC Napoli as it started group play by topping Hostspurs Elite 2002 ( Pa.) 2-0 as Neena O’Mara and Sophia Kavulich both found the back of the net. The squad went 2-0 and clinched a spot in the semis after edging Pipeline SC ’02 Black (Md.) 3-2 with goals from O’Mara, Emily DeNero, and Dylan Wellborne. After ending group play with a 2-0 loss to W VFC 2002 Black, PFC Napoli

SEMI TOUGH: Members of the Princeton Football Club (PFC) Napoli U16 girls’ soccer team pose after they represented New Jersey at the Region 1 Tournament in West Virginia earlier this month. Napoli went 2-1 in group play to advance to the semifinals where it fell 2-1 to Montgomery United (Pa.) 2-1 in the second period of overtime. Pictured in the front row, from left to right, are Alison Walsh (Montgomery High), Vannessa Ponce (Princeton High), Kaitlyn St. Amour (WW/P-North High), Stavroula Papakonstantinou (PHS), Vanessa Devlin (Princeton Day School), Jessica Wu (PHS), and Talya Deutsch (Montgomery). In the back row, from left, are head coach Milen Nikolov, Ashley Moritz (WW/P-North), Neena O’Mara (Montgomery), Nicolette Evich (Hopewell Valley Central High), Emily DeNero (Hopewell Valley), Molly Frain (PHS), Sophia Kavulich (The Pennington School), Morgan Beamer (PHS), Claire Tellier (Hopewell Valley), Dylan Wellborne (The Lawrenceville School), and assistant coach Natalie Wilson. Not pictured is Elizabeth Nielsen (WW/P-South High). faced Montgomery United (Pa.) in the semis. Molly Frain gave PFC Napoli a 1-0 lead, but Montgomery tied the game late in regulation and then prevailed on a goal in the second overtime period. “It was a good start, but with four minutes to go, they scored from a free kick and that kind of changed the momentum,” said Nikolov. “It was very hot and we were just four minutes shy of going to the final and that set them back in the overtime. We didn’t stop fighting, but we were exhausted physically and mentally at that point.” In its playoff r un, the squad made a point with its skill and cohesive play.

“Technically they are very strong, which allows us to keep possession and move the ball,” said Nikolov. “We are not a team that’s only hope is on the dead ball situations or long balls. We like to play with the ball. We like to keep it and knock the ball around. That is our style, the possession style. With the core group being together for six-seven years, that really helps. They know each other, they know what their teammates like to do and where they like to go.” In Nikolov’s view, PFC has the potential to go even further in upcoming seasons. “They are good football players and I think they are going to get another shot,” said Nikolov.

“They have the future before them and now we have more experience to play at this level. We know what it takes so hopefully next year or the year after, they can go again.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Stuart M. Ellerstein Stuar t M. Ellerstein passed away Saturday June 30, 2018 at Princeton Penn Medicine Medical Center in Plainsboro, NJ following a short illness. Stuart was born in Brooklyn, NY where he spent his early years before moving to the Belle Harbor section of Queens. He developed a love of science during this time, which landed him at Brooklyn Technical High School. Following his graduation in 1947 he attended Clarkson College of Technology (now Clarkson University) in Potsdam, NY. He graduated in 1951 w it h a B S in Chemistr y and minors in physics and mathematics. Within a few years he would attend Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now par t of N Y U ) to pursue a PhD in Chemistr y, but not before meeting his future wife, Elaine Sklan, in Rockaway, NY. Rumor has it she tripped him on the boardwalk. They would go on to marry on that same boardwalk in July 1957. Stuart completed his PhD in 1961. His dissertation was on the Adsorption of Poly-Methylmethacrylate, a n ac r yl i c n ow u s e d i n

ever y thing from airplane windows to intraocular lens replacements. He conducted post- doctoral work at Brown University. L e av i n g t h e w o r l d o f academics behind, Stuart took a job with Technical Research Institute (TRI) in 1963 which brought him to the Princeton area, before joining Trenton-based Thiokol Corporation where he rose to the level of director of the polymer division before retir ing in 1993. During his time at Thiokol his specialty was coatings. Stuart worked on myriad projects throughout his career. One notable project in the age before digital cameras was creating the 3-D lenticular photo development process for Nimslo, a manufacturer which as a result became the numberone-selling 35mm camera for a brief time. Known for his dry humor and encyclopedic knowledge of everything, Stuart loved ar t, reading, pho tography, and listening to music as well as attending live performances — ballet, opera, symphony, and theater. In the early 1960s he and Elaine frequented Greenw ich Village cafes where they happened to catch an up and coming Bob Dylan. Stuar t was a world t r aveler who w as also know n for cranking out the Sunday NY Times cros s word pu z zle i n 30 minutes (in pen) as well as for attempting to solve infamous mathematical problems such as Fermat’s Last Theorem and trisecting angles. Most importantly he was a ubiquitous and everpresent force for his family. Except for a 10-year period from 1984-1993 when he relocated for work, Stuar t resided in the Princeton area since 1963. He is predeceased by his wife, as well as by his parents

Bernard and Beatrice. He is survived by three sons: Robert (Sarah) of Chanhassen, MN; David of Delray Beach, FL ; and Bruce (Jackie) of New York City; as well as seven grandchildren: Jamie, Sydney, Ally, A lexandra, Ethan, Luke, and Emma.

David William Blair David William Blair of Princeton, New Jersey, died on July 15, at the age of 88. Beloved husband, father, and grandfather, David was born in Santa Barbara, California, October 5, 1929, and grew up an only child on his parents’ angus cattle ranch in Wimer Rogue River Valley, Oregon. David was educated in a one room schoolhouse and persuaded to go to Oregon State University where he earned a BS, then on to Columbia University earning a Masters and PhD, all three degrees in Mechanical Engineering, accompanied by several academic honors. David taught at Columbia as a teaching assistant, instructor, and associate adjunct professor. Fresh from Oregon, David met Rosemary Miles of Brooklyn, New York, where they were both studying at Columbia University. They were married in 1954, a union that lasted 61 years until Rosemary’s death in 2015.

David worked at Exxon Research and Engineering in their corporate research and government labs. Following a 14-year tenure in the Exxon Labs he founded the company Princeton Scientific Enterprises, an R&D organization specializing in high temperature technology with particular expertise in combustion, high temperature chemistry, combustion generated air pollution, high temperature energy transfer and energy conversion. He holds numerous patents in this area. His company, PSE, received one of the first U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory awards for Exceptional and Significant Work Performed on th BRL Mission. He was published widely on the subject of high temperature combustion processes. David served on Princeton Township Committee for a decade, the Princeton Civil Rights Commission, and many other community groups. He supported and participated in his wife’s env iron mental act iv it ies and endeavors including the founding of the D &R Greenway Land Trust in Princeton, New Jersey. He pursued his lifelong passion to further just causes wherever the opportunity arose. Forever proud of his roots in the Oregon mountains, David embraced Princeton and the opportunities it gave his boisterous family. An enthusiastic conversationalist, he was always ready to impart hard-earned backcountr y wisdom on animal care, tree felling, hunting, motorcycles, camping, and outdoor endeavors of all sorts to his friends, children, and

associates. In 1962 David and Rosemary took the family and dogs on a road trip/house swap to Nova Scotia, returning every summer thereafter and settling in Bayfield, a community they, their children, and now grandchildren, hold close in their hearts. One of Dav id ’s favorite places was on the deck overlooking the bay in Nova Scotia with a Lamb’s rum in his hand.

Memorial Gathering

Emmi Spies A Memorial Gathering in celebration of the life of Emmi Spies will be held on Saturday, August 4 at 2 p.m., as a non-denominational service hosted by friends and family at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 50 Cherry Hill Road, Princeton, NJ 08540. lowing his fellowship, Fred joined WHOI as a full-time Assistant Scientist in 1969. During his tenure at WHOI, Fred conducted research on deep-sea biodiversity, initially with Howard Sanders. His earliest work was focused on determining why the deep-sea benthic macrofauna were highly diverse. His theor y was that the ocean floor was much like a rain forest where a patchwork of different micro-environments allows animal species to evolve independently. This interest led to Fred’s early involvement in the first biological expedition to survey the hydrothermal vents discovered at the Galapagos Rift in 1977. Fred conducted pioneering research contr ibuting to the world’s understanding of the unique ecosystems near these volcanic vents at the sea floor, fueled by chemical energy from the Earth’s interior rather than sunlight. The first of a series of expeditions over the course of Fred’s career was documented in the National Geographic Society’s documentary Dive to the Edge of Creation. In 1989, Fred joined the faculty at Rutgers University’s Cook College to establish the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences. He helped to raise funds for a

new building to house the Institute whilst expanding the research and teaching faculty and conducting his own research. This included an analysis of ocean dumping that led to the end of sludge disposal in U.S. waters. Later Fred helped to establish one of the first ocean obser ving stations off the coast of New Jersey and was one of the founders of the Census of Marine Life and Ocean Biogeographic Information System. Fred retired in 2012 w ith 23 years of service to Rutgers Universit y. Among other honors, Fred was awarded the Japan Prize, the Benjamin Franklin Medal, the Grand Prix des Sciences de la Mer Albert de Monaco, and the ASLO Lifetime Achievement Award. He has had six species and one genus of polychaetes, three species of mollusks, and three species of crustacea named after him. Son of the late John Kendall and Norah Iris (Fleck) Grassle, he is survived by his wife of 53 years, Judith Helen (Payne) Grassle, a son John Thomas Grassle, his sister Norah Jean (Grassle) Bunts, and brother-in-law Frank Bunts. Arrangements are by The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home in Princeton.

A tribute to the elegance of days gone by, coupled with every modern upgrade and amenity, this classic brick Georgian colonial will simply take your breath away. Set perfectly on nearly two acres, in the charming Village of Lawrenceville, this is one special house. Bluestone path and vintage brick steps lead to the double formal entry. Original tile vestibule opens to the marble- floored foyer, with views straight through to the gardens beyond. Living room has glowing oak floor, the quality of which is rarely found today. This is a wonderful room for formal entertaining, with marble surround fireplace hearth, and carved wood mantel. French doors open to a sunroom, with transoms, and walls of paned windows overlooking the gardens, slate terrace, and pergola. There is even a secluded pond, adding to the lyrical feel of the extraordinarily beautiful grounds. Adjacent to the living room, the family room features pegged oak floor, magnificent parquetry, and gas fireplace, with a carved limestone mantel. The formal dining room is spacious enough for large sit-down dinners, and the chair rail, sconces, and chandelier with medallion, add to its appeal. A “bar room” addition, retaining the integrity of house, and featuring a granite- topped bar, is complete with brass foot rail, bar sink, wine cooler and checkered tile floor. Walls of windows, a ceiling fan, and built -in china cupboard encourage congeniality, and bring to mind Johnny Boston’s! Certainly, any chef would appreciate the double Dacor eight burner stove and two ovens, and will love having numerous storage racks (cleverly concealed behind custom wood doors) for trays and platters. The counters, granite, of course, tons of storage cabinets and, above them, seemingly endless cupboards wait for your china, and other items. A work station, also topped with granite, provides a place for terrific buffets, and there is a walk-in pantry. A pleasant surprise is the full bath, fitted out with granite shelves and counters. Why the full bath? Well, there is easy access to the heated in-ground pool. With a quick shower, and change of clothes, you are ready for a cook-out on the lovely brick terrace, complete with sitting walls. Back in the house itself, you will find the master bedroom on the second floor, ensuite, of course, with jetted tub, large stall shower, double sinks and sitting room Three additional bedrooms and two full baths are on this level, as well. On the third floor is a spacious “bonus” room, full bath, and two other bedrooms, one with a sitting room. A jewel in the crown of vintage properties! $1,200,000

FINDING THE BEST HOME INSPECTOR The home inspection process is an important step in buying your dream home. During the inspection, an inspector identifies problems in the house, suggests fixes, and estimates how much repairs might cost. But how do you decide who to hire for this essential task? When deciding who to hire to conduct your home inspection, your real estate agent can recommend reliable and established inspectors in your area. Online sources like the American Society of Home Inspectors’ website also has information about inspectors who are certified in your area. Before hiring an inspector, you should interview at least three inspectors before deciding who to hire. Each state has different requirements for inspector certifications and licenses so ensure that the inspector meets the state’s requirement. You should also ask how long they have been in the business and how much they charge. Another important thing to ask is what, specifically, the inspector does and does not check during a basic inspection. You may also ask if you can see a sample report to see how thorough the inspector is. By having a thorough and qualified inspector you will be in the best hands through the inspection process.
