Five Candidates Compete for Three School Board Seats

When Princeton voters go to the polls on November 6, the much discussed facilities referendum won’t be the only important question they face in determining the future of thousands of Princeton Public Schools (PPS) children. Also on the ballot will be five candidates vying for three positions on the Board of Education (BOE). Two one-term incumbents, Betsy Baglio and Dafna Kendal, and three new hopefuls, Mary Clurman, Daniel J. Dart, and Brian J. McDonald, are all seeking three-year terms on the ten-member board. Clurman, 76, who has lived in Princeton for the past ten years, is a retired Montessori teacher, child care consultant to major New Jersey hospitals, child care grant winner and administrator, and professional association board member.

Carnegie Lake Drowning Under Investigation A 23-year-old man died Friday after jumping into Lake Carnegie off the dock near the boat launch. Talven Page, of Trenton, swam a few moments before disappearing under the water and failed to resurface, according to the Princeton Police Department. The matter remains under investigation by the department’s Detective Bureau. Police were notified at 2:52 p.m. Friday,

August 10, by a friend of Page, who said he saw him enter the water. The police arrived three minutes later, and two officers entered the water and searched the area. “The officers observed bubbles come to the surface as the third officer probed the area with a pole from the dock,” reads a press release issued Monday. “One of the officers went underwater and located the victim, grabbed him by the arm and

pulled him to the surface where all three officers and Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad members put the victim on the dock and immediately began CPR at 3:03 p.m.” Page was subsequently taken to Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, and was pronounced dead there at 3:54 p.m. despite efforts by medical staff. —Anne Levin

More Back and Forth Claims About Proposed Westminster Sale

As the sale of Westminster Choir College (WCC) by Rider University remains unresolved, those in favor and those opposed to the transaction continue to publicize their positions. A public forum on Wednesday, August 29 at Nassau Presbyterian Church will provide an update on the situation, which includes two pending lawsuits against the University. In recent weeks, Rider’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has been circulating a pe-

tition to segments of the higher education and classical music communities asking for support in their opposition to the proposed sale. Rider wants to sell the 22acre Westminster campus to the Chinese company known as Kaiwen Education. Days after release of the petition, a press release on August 8 announced the creation of the nonprofit Westminster Choir College Acquisition Corporation (WCCAC), naming Larry Livingston as its interim president (Livingston had been

hired last January as the project manager for the sale). The release said that Rider had entered into a binding agreement with Kaiwen Education to purchase the music school, and that the new nonprofit will take over the operation of Westminster on June 30, 2019 once the transaction is complete. “Kaiwen’s vision is to sustain and grow WCC’s reputation as a world-class music school, while maintaining it as an artistically preeminent, academically rigorous, Continued on Page 4

and fiscally sound institution,” it reads. “The historical programs of WCC will be substantially maintained in Princeton. Kaiwen imagines that WCC will be even stronger, more well known, more selective, and further enriched by the presence of an outstanding international

student body. Lest this concept be misconstrued, the goal is to achieve an optimal mix and balance between domestic and international students on campus. Without question, Kaiwen’s decision was based on its respect for and unalterable desire to help sustain WCC’s culture as an American institution.” On August 9, the Westminster Foundation, which

was organized to oppose the sale, issued a release stating the information presented by WCCAC is not valid and is “intentionally misleading to students, parents, faculty, alumni, and donors.” The statement adds, “No documents related to the proposed transaction have ever been released to public view, however, Wednesday’s announcements do not reverse Rider University’s June statement that Kaiwen is only obligated to operate Westminster Choir College for four years following the proposed July 2019 closing date. This violates the 1935 trust that created Westminster, the 1991 merger agreement with Rider, and the AAUP (American Association of University Professors) faculty contract, each of which anticipates and

requires continued operation of the nonprofit Choir College.” According to Constance Fee, president of the Westminster Foundation, the statement issued by the WCCAC is “massaging the old information and trying to make it sound like something different.” Attorney Bruce Afran, who is representing the Foundation and others opposed to the sale, said “It’s just PR nonsense. They happened to get their incorporation papers back from the state, but nothing has actually happened. The truth is, the deal will not close unless they win the lawsuits, so it is not moving forward right now.” The two lawsuits, by the Westminster Foundation and Princeton Theological Seminary, challenge the legality of the proposed sale. Afran said he is moving to consolidate the two cases with a filing either late this week or early next week. The focus of the forum on August 29, which begins at 7 p.m., is “Could Saving Westminster Bring Savings to Princeton Taxpayers?” Afran is among those who will serve on the panel. —Anne Levin

Renovated Mary Moss Playground Is Town’s Biggest Park Project

The official reopening of the Mary Moss Playground last week marked the last of the revitalizations of Princeton’s small pocket parks. The August 8 ribbon-cutting ceremony, which concluded with the ecstatic yelps of children negotiating the new

sprayground, marked a milestone for the Witherspoon/ Jackson historic district. “A new chapter in a long, proud history of this space s t ar t s to day,” s a id B en Stentz, the executive director of Princeton’s Recreation Department. Stentz was instrumental in the renovation of the park at John and Lytle streets. The project, financed through a mix of county and municipal funding, was originally scheduled for completion a year ago.

Stentz’s introduction to the crowd was followed by brief remarks from Mayor Liz Lempert, Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes, and Mercer County Freeholder Andrew Koontz, who has been actively involved in the pocket parks since his days on Princeton Borough Council. In addition to Mary Moss Playground, those spaces include Quarry Park on Spruce Street, Barbara Boggs Sigmund Park on Chestnut Street, Maggie’s Playground on Spruce Street, Potts Park on Tee-Ar Place, Bradford/Pine Street Park, and the larger Harrison Street Park. “They’ve all had some attention,” said Koontz in a telephone interview after the Mar y Moss opening. “But Mary Moss has gotten the biggest makeover. It was a complete gut rehab, the most extensive I’ve seen. Removing and replacing a water feature [a small wading pool was taken out] — that’s big.” T he circa 1940s park was originally called the John Street Playground. It was renamed in 1992 for Mary Moss, who took care of children at the nearby Princeton Nursery School and supervised them at the park. In addition to the replacement of the wading pool, renovations include new playground equipment, landscaping, a pavilion with picnic benches, a bike rack, and a book nook, on two levels. “This park is important to the neighborhood,” said Koontz. “It holds a special place in the hearts of a lot of folks, and it was still seeing a lot of use when we went in to rehabilitate it, un-

like the Pine and Harrison street parks which had been neglected and were underutilized.” During his time on Borough Council from 2004 to 2010, Koontz tried to stress the importance of parks that are for leisurely enjoyment as opposed to structured recreation. “They were talking about playing fields and coached sports. I wanted the community to focus on passive use and unstructured play,” he said, “where kids can make their own fun in an environment where not every move is dictated by an adult.” The Mary Moss renovation cost $700,000.

marks at the opening, both Stentz and Hughes spoke of using the park as children. “It brings back a lot of memories for me,” said Hughes. When Koontz was elected to Borough Council, most of the town’s pocket parks were in a state of neglect. “Since that time, we’ve seen new playground equipment go into all of them,” he said. “I’m just glad to have been part of all that. This needs to be ongoing, and that was part of my message. The ribbon-cutting should not be an end.” Koontz praised New York City for its establishment and maintenance of pocket parks as a place for passive enjoyment, for all ages. “We need to do that better here in Princeton,” he said. “Mary Moss Playground is a community space. It’s a step in the right direction.” —Anne Levin

SAVE Earns Coveted Rating From Charity Navigator

SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals’has earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator. This is the first time that SAVE has earned this top distinction, which recognizes strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency. Since 2002, using objective analysis, Charity Navigator has awarded only the most fiscally responsible organizations a 4-star rating. In 2011, Charity Navigator added 17 metrics, focused on governance and ethical practices as well as measures of openness, to its ratings methodology. These Accountability & Transparency metrics, which account for 50 percent of a charity’s overall rating, reveal which charities operate in accordance with industry best practices and whether they are open with their donors and stakeholders. “SAVE’s 4-star rating sets it apart from its peers and demonstrates its trustworthiness to the public,” according to Michael Thatcher, president and CEO of Charity Navigator. “Only a quarter of charities rated by Charity Navigator receive the distinction of our 4-star rating. This adds SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals to a preeminent group of charities working to overcome our world’s most pressing challenges. Based on its 4-star rating, people can trust that their donations are going to a financially responsible and ethical charity when they decide to support SAVE.” “It’s important our donors trust that we’re using their donations wisely to accomplish SAVE’s mission to protect the health and welfare of homeless companion animals through our six core programs of Rescue, Shelter, Health and Welfare, Spay / Neuter, Adopt ion, and Humane Education,” said Heather Achenbach, SAVE Executive Director. “Our 4-star Charity Navigator rating demonstrates to our supporters our good governance and financial accountability.”

Question of the Week: “How would you show appreciation for our first responders?”

(Asked at Community Night Out at Community Park Pool) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

“I would tell them that I appreciate everything they do and that they are very important people and help make the community feel safe and secure.” —Ciara Bullock, Trenton

Josh: “It’s really important to thank people if they risk their lives and put forth the effort to help us and to keep us safe. A way to say thank you would be to make sure you are always respectful to them.” —Josh Trotman and Victoria Watts-Trotman, Ewing

Ben: “I would thank a first responder by giving them a hug. I am a hugger. I hug my police friends every time I see them. To me, that’s a great way to show somebody how much you appreciate them.” John: “For everybody — EMTs, lifeguards, fire and rescue, police, nurses — it’s all about, in my mind, just reminding them every chance we get how much we appreciate them and thanking them as much as we can every time we see them, and letting them know what an important job they do and what a great job they are doing.” —From left, Ben Stentz, executive director; Nicole Palucci, program supervisor; and John Groeger, program supervisor, all of the Princeton Recreation Department

Sarah: “If someone I loved or myself was hurt, I would be very upset, and I would be very thankful. I would tell them how thankful I am and maybe write them a letter or send them some candy.” Lenying: “It’s really nice to have an event like this for the community. The firemen and policemen have made this event go smoothly and safely. We are just very thankful for all the efforts that the first responders give to this community. I would say a very positive way to show appreciation would be to volunteer or donate.” —Sarah and Lenying Henderson, Plainsboro

The 88th annual Br yn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale (BM-WBS), the longest-running and largest used-book sale on the East Coast, is still seven months away, but you’d never guess that from the pace of activity and the thousands of books, sorted and packed into hundreds of boxes, piled high in a small barn behind 32 Vandeventer Avenue, just off Nassau Street. Ever y We d ne s day a nd Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon between now and the March sale, volunteers gather at the barn to welcome donors — some mov ing to smaller living quarters, some settling their parents’ estates, some just cleaning house — who arrive with books and more books. The books are sorted into 65 dif ferent categor ies, boxed and stored until the number exceeds the capacity of the small barn, at which point movers ship them out to a commercial warehouse until the spring when they are delivered to Princeton Day School ( PDS), where they are arranged on hundreds of tables for the fiveday sale. Buyers come f rom all over the country, and the proceeds from the sale support college scholarships for young women from central New Jersey. L ast Sat urday t he top floor was full, stacked high with boxes, and 10-12 workers were crowded in on the first floor, sorting, pricing, and helping visitors unload their donations. S a r a h Fe r g u s o n , w h o started off as a volunteer in 1989 and has become the one paid worker, runs the show. “My job is to be there to take in donations, to pack the books, and make sure

we have plenty of markers, tape, and boxes,” she said. She also, when necessary, does not hesitate to carry 40-pound boxes between floors. When she was first asked to lead the operation, she declined: “‘I couldn’t possibly. I have two small children,’ I said. ‘Oh, just bring them,’ they said. So I started with a baby in a backpack and a toddler in tow.” For Ferguson, the most appealing part of the job is the people she works with, both her colleagues and the donors. “Princeton is quite a community,” she said, and she went on to mention an array of local celebrities she had interacted with in the course of helping them to unload their books. “For me, encouraging the next generation is the most rewarding part of the job,” she noted. “My children had a huge number of used books when they were young, and most of them came back to the sale and have gone on to new homes. My son discovered Tintin and the Oz books at the barn. My d au g hte r love d A n d r e w Lang’s Color Fairy books. When I put an old favorite in a box of children’s books, I hope some other child will be just as delighted.” “Sniff Test” Ferguson emphasized that the condition of the books is important ”Give them the sniff test,” she said. “We call this the ‘Would you take this book to bed with you?’ test. If it’s too crumbly or smelly, nobody else will buy it either.” She also urged donors to call (609) 921-7479 to make sure there is enough space before bringing books. Marie Anne Grey, who has been working on the book sale since 1972, long before

Jerry Ringland

the Wellesley Club joined forces with the Bryn Mawr alumnae group in 2000, is the expert on art books. She described an unforgettable moment when “we were all tired beyond belief from having set up the sale, and someone came up to say she had just found this book she’d been looking for for 27 years. This was before the internet, when you couldn’t find books as easily. That made the whole experience worthwhile.” Grey pointed out t hat times have changed in the book business. “It used to be dealers came and knew and loved what they were doing. Now there are a lot of people who think they can make a lot of money from books and they go around with their scanners.” Jerry Ringland, a retired Princeton physician, has volunteered every Saturday for the past four years. “I think this is important,” he said. “It helps provide scholarships to needy college students.” He, along with many of his colleagues, loves to be around books. “I love to read,” he added. “I’m a voracious reader. The people who work here are nice, and we’re like a family.” Iliana Sachs, about 12 years on the job, is the cooking and “collector’s corner” expert, processing cookbooks and rare books. “ S h e’s h y p e r - e f f i c i e n t,” Ringland observed. Sachs recalled pricing and selling a Robert Frost first edition last year. “I love books,” she said. “We all do. We keep people reading books. We do a favor to people by recycling. Nobody wants to throw out books. They bring them here.” Betsy Bennett, who lives in Princeton within walking distance of the barn, started volunteering with the BMWBS 12 years ago. “I enjoy working with the people I’ve met here,” she said. Bennett has become the children’s books exper t, pricing paperbacks at 50 cents and hardbacks for a dollar, ”unless there’s a really good one, then we’ll price it for more. Sometimes you get very old books and they can be valuable.” The BM-WBS is known for unusual collectibles, rare books, and first editions. Anyone who fears that electronics are taking the place of books should drop by the barn on a Wednesday or Saturday morning, or visit the sale at PDS in March. —Donald Gilpin

“Empty Nester” and Taxpayer Wants to Make Sure That Our Schools Remain Strong for All Our Kids

To the Editor: I support the Princeton Public Schools facilities referendum and urge everyone to vote yes on both questions presented. Voters should keep in mind that this vote is about programs and maintaining educational standards that are crucial to the value of our homes and the values of our community. In November we must vote to address the need for more classrooms and athletic facilities for the students that we have now, as well as the ones we know will be moving into and through our system. Included in the referendum are necessary improvements for security which must be addressed. Also included are crucial and overdue HVAC upgrades of our outdated and inefficient systems. Class size is one of the most important factors in the quality of education and we are already at or over capacity in ALL of our schools. This is not a question — we are there. In the next five years, school enrollment is expected to grow another 10 percent and this trend is likely to continue. Demographers can be off, but we need the capacity now and it would be foolish to not prepare for the increases that are inevitable. Our educational space does not fit the curriculum or our needs today. The collaborative and interdisciplinary programs in Princeton Public Schools are often hindered by outdated and overcrowded spaces. We have to address our diverse student body and ensure that their needs are addressed from sufficient STEM resources to appropriate space for counselors, food service, and special education. Unfortunately, Princeton and the rest of the world are not getting cooler. Students cannot effectively learn in stifling heat. Our classes have been disrupted when rooms are either too hot, or in the case of heating malfunctions, too cold. Imagine how well you would function in an office with poor air circulation and no air conditioning. These upgrades are necessary and will be energy and cost efficient. I moved to Princeton for the schools and the community. I was lucky to educate my kids in the Princeton Public Schools. I am now an empty nester and a taxpayer who wants to make sure that our schools remain strong for all our kids. It would be foolish to wait because the costs will go up and so will our class sizes. We need to act now so we can preserve the excellence that brought us here to Princeton. Vote YES on November 6. MOLLY CHREIN Ridgeview Road

She expressed reservat ions ab out t he $130M bond referendum proposal ”because it is being planned without concern for critical input from the community it must serve.“ Calling for a more responsive school system, she warned, “A Board of Education that presents its plans on a ‘we know best, take it or leave it’ basis does not understand the Princeton community and sets a poor example for students.” Clurman noted that a major priority for her would be “to help develop a better support system for students, teachers, and families, for those who need extra help, as well as those seeking advanced work.” Dart is a private investor and volunteer leader in several nonprofit organizations in the Princeton area, including The Watershed Institute, Corner House Foundation, and Trinity Church, according to his LinkedIn profile. He is also an ambassador for the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential and a passionate consumer health advocate. Dart, 62, retired as chief operating officer of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers in December 2006 after more than four years in that position.

McDonald, 57, a sculptor and designer who also advises nonprofits on governance and fundraising, has served in a senior role at a veterinary medicine start-up (2011-2013), as vice president for development for Princeton University (20022010), before 2002 in public finance at Kidder Peabody & Co. and The First Boston Corporation, and as an entrepreneur in the restaurant, music, and fine arts fields. He has served on several local boards and from 2011-17 was a member of the town of Princeton’s Citizens’ Finance Advisory Committee. A Princeton resident since 1995, McDonald has three children who have all gone through the Princeton Public Schools, with the youngest now a sophomore at Princeton High School (PHS). Expressing concerns about aging facilities; students’ health, security, and fair treatment; increasing enrollm ent ; a nd budget stress; McDonald stated, “I think that I can help chart a path forward that achieves important priorities for our schools and our town — making critical investments in our schools while also keeping tax increases as low as possible.” Generally supportive of the district’s initiatives and the current referendum, McDonald emphasized the importance of transparency and community participation in decisionmaking. He also proposed the establishment of two citizens’ committees to advise the BOE; one on finances and the other on facilities’

construction, renovation, and maintenance. Baglio, 43, noting her “important perspective as a former public school teacher,” has served as chair of Student Achievement and Ad Hoc Equity Committees and as a member of the Personnel Committee of the BOE. She emphasized her goal of increased collaboration among staff, students, parents, community, and Board as key to her platform in the 2015 election and noted the positive results of such collaboration in “meaningful changes for students, such as a new PHS schedule, consideration of meaningful homework, new pro grams for our underserved student population, and the development and distribution of multiple surveys to families in order to inform instructional and districtwide practices.” Baglio, who has two sons in district schools, stated that increasing communication among all stakeholders and “equity for all within our schools” would be priorities for her if re-elected. Kendal, 46, a law yer, has served as chair of the Board Facilities Committee and also member of Student Achievement and Negotiations Committees and an alternate on the Policy Committee. She said she is running for a second term “to continue the work I have started.” Kendal noted specifically the later start time at PHS in response to community concerns and scientific research; approval of responsible union contracts through

2020; creation of the Alternate Revenue Committee with voluntary contributions to the district’s operating fund so far negotiated with the Institute for Advanced Study and the Princeton Theological Seminary; and increased transparency and communication, including public commentary opportunities at the start, middle, and end of board meetings; and summaries of meetings sent to all PPS parents and staff, with a link to the video recording of the meeting. If re-elected, said Kendal, who has two children in district schools, “my priorities would include renewing the labor union contracts in an efficient and respectful manner, continuing to improve communications with all stakeholders in the community, and proposing that the district conduct an audit of its special education services.” All five office-seekers filed petitions to run by the July 30, 2018 deadline, according to the Mercer County Clerk’s Office. Board President Patrick Sullivan earlier announced that he will be stepping down from the BOE when his term ends at the end of this year. —Donald Gilpin

The Jim Floyd Memorial Lecture at the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church Saturday morning, featuring an open community discussion on the school referendum and a conversation with futurist Chet Sisk on “Blacks and the Future and Current World Paradigm Shifts,” provided energetic, illuminating discussion on all sides and a dynamic culmination to the ten-day 2018 Joint Effort/ Safe Streets Program. Kip Cherry, one of the referendum panelists along with Leighton Newlin, Joel Schwar tz, Greg Stankiewicz, and Michele Tuck-Ponder, described the dialogue as “balanced” and the commentary as “vigorous,” but “very civil and not combative.” “Everyone is trying to do the best they can for our school system and our children,” she said. “We’re all concerned for our students. People in the community have a lot of questions, a lot of concerns.” Shirley Satterfield urged that additional discussions about the referendum between the community and the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) need to take place between now and the vote on November 6. “It affects tax payers. It’s a discussion that must continue,” she said. Newlin described the “meaningful exchange of positions on the referendum, both pro and con” and pointed out that the audience of about 100 was far more “comprehensive,

inclusive, and diverse” than gatherings at previous referendum information sessions. Warning about possibly dire consequences of the referendum, he predicted large increases in property taxes and “only rich people able to afford to live here.” Schwartz emphasized that “People had a lot of questions and concerns, questions they felt had not yet been answered.” He noted that though there have been many presentations on the subject of the referendum, this was “the first time when the event wasn’t run and controlled by the BOE.” He praised the high level of diverse conversation. “A lot of ground was covered,” he said. Future Shocks Claiming that we’re in the fourth industrial revolution, keynote speaker Sisk presented his view of the future and the dramatic effects of artificial intelligence (AI ) and climate change on the world. He predicted that 47 percent of jobs in the United States will change in the next few years because of AI, and many will be left unemployed or struggling to adapt. He went on to urge that mankind needs to become more human, with more mutual respect and more connections among humans. “His outlook on the future was driven by data and past events,” said Lance Liverman. “Unless we as a united people come together and

work together, we may not have a place to call home.” Tuck-Ponder added, “My major takeaway was his emphasis on the African concept of Ubuntu, which promotes collective action: ‘I am because we are. We are because I am.’” Bob Hillier, a Town Topics shareholder, whose Studio Hillier hosted the Joint Effor t kick- off reception on August 3, praised the leadership of John Bailey in organizing the ten-day celebration and moderating many of the events. “It was a great week, good for the community,” Bailey said. “We’re getting closer and closer. We’re not there yet, but we’re getting closer.” Satterfield, president of the Witherspoon- Jackson Historical and Cultural Society, emphasized the importance of the event in “keeping our heritage, keeping our community intact. We want to keep this going and to bring in the whole community of Princeton.” —Donald Gilpin

Fifth Annual Full Moon Ride riding the elevated edge At Mercer Meadows Park around the lake before mov-

The Lawrence Hopewell Trail’s ( LHT) fifth annual Full Moon Ride, featuring a Mercer Meadows pond alight with floating lanterns, a ride through “Firefly Lane” with twinkling lights in the tree canopy, and live music — among other activities — is Sunday, August 26. Cosponsored by the Mercer County Parks Commission, the event runs from 7 to 11:30 p.m., starting in the picnic pavilion area of Mercer Meadows Park. “We are excited to offer a blend of nighttime experiences that tickle the senses, especially a glorious six-mile bike ride under a full moon along the trails in Mercer Meadows,” said Jay Watson, creator and lead for what has become the LHT’s signature event each year. Watson brings his longstanding commitment to the environment to his volunteer service with the LHT and his creation of the Full Moon Ride. In his “day job,” he is vice president of the D&R Greenway Land Trust, and recently Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora tapped him to co-chair his Greening/Sustainability/ Recreation/Natural Resources Transition Committee. Before the bike ride, attendees are invited to bring a picnic dinner, decorate their bikes, watch a movie on a huge, outdoor screen or enjoy a campfire. The band, Sounds of Sandstorm, will perform contemporary blues and jazz throughout the event. When the moon rises at around 8 p.m., groups of 40 to 50 riders will head out in waves from the picnic pavilion area of Rosedale Lake,

ing onto a segment Watson is calling Firefly Lane because twinkling lights will illuminate the canopy above riders’ heads. By moonlight, they will also pass lanterns floating on Dragonfly Pond and will be serenaded by classical musicians. Adults and children of all ages are welcome at the activities prior to the bike ride, with the expectation that adults supervise their children at all times. The full moon bike ride itself is open to adults and children aged 12 and above. For riders under 18, helmets are required by law. The LHT encourages helmets for all riders for safety reasons, and also suggests the use of bike lights. Participants are encouraged to carpool if possible. All participants should use the entrance to the park on Federal City Road, between Blackwell Road and Old Mill Road in Hopewell Township. The rain date is Sunday, September 22, but if rain forces the change, the program will be limited to the bike ride. For each person riding the six-mile Full Moon loop, the admission fee is $20. There is no fee for participants who do not ride, although a donation is requested. The funds help support of the work of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corporation. Online registration is possible through 5 p.m. the day of the ride. After 5, participants can register at the event. Visit lhtrail.org/fullmoonride to register online. The 2018 Full Moon Ride tee shirt is also available for pre-purchase or purchase at the ride.

COULD SAVING WESTMINSTER BRING SAVINGS TO PRINCETON TAXPAYERS?

*The Westminster Foundation, Princeton, NJ, Inc. is an independent organization, and is not affiliated with Rider University or Westminster Choir College.

The Princeton community is invited to an open forum: Wednesday, August 29th – 7:00pm Nassau Presbyterian Church 61 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ Princeton taxpayers have been severely affected by high property taxes which could increase significantly if the current Board of Education bond proposals pass during upcoming elections. The impact upon residents is heightened by recent changes in Federal tax laws that limit the deductibility of property taxes. The Westminster Foundation continues to strive for the return of Westminster Choir College to independence. We invite the Princeton community to a discussion of approaches which could achieve that goal while significantly reducing costs for Princeton Public Schools. Those who attend will have an opportunity to ask questions, state opinions and exchange ideas related to the future of Westminster Choir College, which has been so valuable to the Princeton community, the region and to the world of music.

For mer Pen ns ylvan ia Gov. Mark Schweiker has been appointed executive in residence to Rider University’s Department of Political Science. Schweiker will share his emergency management, crisis response, and counter-terrorism experience to support the University’s homeland security program. Pennsylvania’s 44th governor, Schweiker was the only U.S. governor to assume his position as a result of the September 11 terrorist at tacks. During his tenure as governor, he ramped up Pennsylvania’s safety and security. In his first official act as governor, Schweiker hired an additional 100 state troopers. At his direction, Pennsylvania then created the Office of Homeland Security. His administration also increased the security of state government facilities and its internet network, public venues, air por t s, and nuclear power plants. He gained worldwide recognition in 2002 for leading a successful rescue of n i n e m i n e r s t r app e d i n Quecreek, Somerset County. Schweiker was on-site to oversee all emergency operations and handle communications with an international press corps. “Rider understands the impor tant dimensions of graduating qualified and spirited people who want to protect our nation,” Schweiker says. “The strength of Rider’s Homeland Security program is unmatched, which is important because t here are cr itical home lands assets near the University. Rider has a significant role to play in helping keep America and our region safe, and I’m motivated to apply my experience to help refine and elevate the program.”

rity prepares professionals for leadership roles in protecting the U.S., its interests and its allies from terrorist attacks, as well as responding to natural disasters and other threats to the safety and welfare of communities, the state and the nation. “As our homeland security program continues to g row, we are pr iv ileged that Gov. Schweiker has a g r e e d to d e d i c a te h i s time and energy and share his experience, knowledge and expertise with our students,” says Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs DonnaJean A. Fredeen. “His wide network throughout the world and industr y w ill also surely benefit them and the entire Rider community.” Schweiker, who earned his master’s in management from Rider in 1983 and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from Rider in 2004, also served as lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania where he oversaw the commonwealth’s emergency response platform. “We look for ward to a long and successful relat ionsh ip w it h G ov. S ch w e i k e r,” s a y s F r e d e e n . “T he world saw his def t crisis communications and e m er ge n c y m a nage m e nt skills during the Quecreek Mine rescue. Having someone with his unique and decisive governing experience will be a critical asset in preparing the next generation of homeland security professionals.” Schweiker currently ser ves as the senior vice president and cor porate development officer of Renmatix, Inc., a sustainable alternatives company making clean bioproducts for food ingredients, personal care, and other select industrial applications.

Sheila Goloborotko, curator of the show that spotlights the works of 18 artists who are taking printmaking into bold and exciting new directions. “The prints in this exhibition are on porcelain, recycled wood, and melting ice; they live in the toxic residue left by the contaminated water of Flint, Michigan, and are even inked onto good old-fashioned paper — only sideways, on the paper’s less-than-millimeterthick bleeding edge.” These prints hang frameless, flexible, folded, and are built like a puzzle or planted as a garden. All the prints were manipulated in some fashion — cut, burnt, fired, mounted, recorded, or pasted, Goloborotko noted. And while all the pieces in this show are quite diverse, they all have one t h i ng i n com m on : t h e y form an open-ended mode or a network of nomadic relationships among all the elements in the collective printmaking process. “I hope viewers will understand the importance of contemporary printmaking as it is represented in this exhibition as a sculptural, video, painterly, and social practice,” said Goloborotko. “Since the exhibition shows mostly one piece by each artist, I hope the public will search more works by the presented artists. A r t is ts w it h pieces in this exhibition are Justin Bar field, Shaw n Bit ters, Florence Gidez, Rebecca Gilbert, Ruthann Godollei, Brandi Grogan, John Hitchcock, Andrew Kozlowski, L au r e n Ku s s r o, Nat h a n Meltz, Guen Montgomery,

RECORD REVIEW

When Music Was Bigger Than Life: Sonny Rollins in New York City You know, I’m a New York guy —Sonny Rollins, in People Magazine ew York City, Christmas week 1948, St. James Theatre: Ray Bolger is performing “Once In Love With Amy” and life will never be the same for the ten-year-old in the balcony. He’s in the heart of the holiday city, suspended above a bright new world of sight and sound, captivated, taken out of himself, “in heaven,” watching a living man, in person, here and now, singing and dancing while a live band plays, and there’s nothing to do but laugh in sheer delight when the man on stage does a drunken gambit singing “You might be quite the ficklehearted ro-ver, so carefree and bold, who loves a girl and later — “ hiccup “ — thinks it over, and just … quits … cold!” When the chorus comes round again — “Once you’re kissed by Amy, tear up the list, it’s Amy!” — Bolger stops singing to go cavorting around the stage in an ecstasy, so full of the song that singing isn’t enough, he’s catapaulted by the music, waving his arms, leaping about, calling on the audience to share the joy until the whole theatre is singing along, “Once in love with Amy! Always in love with Amy!” And though the ten-year-old from Indiana isn’t aware then of what he knows now, he feels something inside telling him that the Amy he’s in love with is New York City. “A Little Health Issue” I’ve been indulging in a night club reverie where Sonny Rollins is playing “Once in Love with Amy,” moving around the room tenor sax held high, bringing out ever y dancing-with-joy nuance. All I can do is dream after learning that the 87-year-old is suffering from pulmonary fibrosis and will never play again. As he put it in an NPR interview last year, “I had to go through quite a period of adjustment after I realized that I couldn’t blow my horn anymore .… And maybe I’ll find some other way to express the music that I have in my mind .… Maybe I might start singing, who knows?” He’s not serious, or is he? “Amy” is a very singable song, as I know from experience. In the Village Thirteen years after the St. James revelation it’s a summer night on Christopher Street, the windows are open, and I’m listening to Sonny Rollins have his way with another song premiered in the same theatre, “Surrey With the Fringe on Top,” from Oklahoma. The music most often heard pouring out of Village windows that year, however, was John Coltrane’s spectacularly reimagined version of “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. It was Coltrane’s time; in person, he and his band were incomparable, but Rollins had the Manhattan mystique, the tenor man standing in the shadows, on leave from the scene, honing his axe in exile on the Williamsburg Bridge. His mysterious emi-

nence was displayed on the cover of his album Saxophone Colossus with its massive silhouette against a deep blue background. If you were living and working and listening to jazz in Greenwich Village at this time, you could feel the presence of the man on the bridge looming over your shoulder everywhere you went. The way I saw it, Coltrane was a life force making passionate music inside the city while Rollins was the city, his body of work available from the record store I haunted halfway down the block from the Eighth Street Bookshop, where my earnings helped me purchase the array of albums Rollins had recorded in the years between 1953 and 1959, a metropolis of music for me to explore, many of the

toria and the GE Building. Every weekday morning I rode the subway to McBurney School, at 15 West 63rd, unaware at the time that the Blue Note studios were located at No. 47, where five years later Rollins would record some of his best work, including “Surrey with the Fringe On Top” and a spellbinding rendition of “Misterioso,” whose composer, Theolonius Monk, resided just down the same street, between West End Avenue and Amsterdam. Ten years later I was living on West 87th across from Billie Holiday’s last residence and several blocks east of the apartment from which Charles Mingus devised a light show for his wife Sue after numerous break-ups and reconciliations. East Side, West Side serendipity, every-

songs with a Tin Pan Alley/Broadway provenance that all but said “born in New York City.” Mapping Manhattan My New York began at the Biltmore Hotel where my parents and I stayed that holiday week. Four years later, home was an apartment building on the corner of Riverside Drive and 137th, which becomes Sonny Rollins’s 137th if you follow it due east past the City College campus and St. Nicholas Park into Harlem, two blocks north of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, now the home of the Rollins archive. Walk 20 blocks south and you come to Benjamin Franklin High School, on 116th and Pleasant Avenue, from which Sonny graduated in 1947. Some 60 blocks south is 224 E. 53rd, the third floor walk-up where we lived in 1952-53, with a view out the back window of the floodlit towers of the Waldorf As-

one’s there, the composers as well as the musicians, thus if you travel 30 blocks north from West 87th, you come to West 107th, the street Frank Loesser grew up on. He’s the composer I have to thank for “Once in Love With Amy,” the song that made me once-in-love, always-in-love with New York. The Golden Era In Visions of Jazz, Gary Giddins describes “the nearly fifty-year golden era, from Jerome Kern to Frank Loesser, when theater, radio, and movies created a far more capacious appetite for fresh songs, and when the unprecedented range and virtuosity of interpretive performers … helped boost and sustain high standards of melodic, harmonic, and verbal ingenuity.” In his account of Rollins’s July 1985 solo recital at the Museum of Modern Art, Giddins mentions some of the “shambling riffs that momentarily blossomed Fri. 08/17/18 to Thurs. 08/23/18

At the same age he was spending many hours in Manhattan moviehouses, where he saw Dorothy Lamour in Hurricane (1937) crooning “The Moon of Manakoora,” a song he would cover decades later, and where he watched Fred Astaire charming Ginger Rogers in Swing Time with “The Way You Look Tonight,” which he exuberantly reinvents in a 1954 session with Thelonius Monk. He would have been 10 (same age as the schoolboy blissing out at the St. James) when his musical imagination was stirred by the score for the 1940 Bette Davis’s film, The Letter. During my ninth-grade year in the city I used to haunt the Roxy, Radio City Music Hall, and various Times Square movie palaces like the Astor and the Mayfair, when you could get into matinees for 75 cents. Now I can’t help wondering where young Sonny saw his movies. A kid from Harlem would have known better than to approach the box office of any of those midtown cinemas. Heaven Listening to Sonny Rollins play “Manhattan” just now, virtually a cappella with the bass under the radar and drums all but inaudible, I have an idea how it might have been between 1959 and 1961 on the Williamsburg Bridge, with the Brooklynbound subway on one side and traffic on the other. And “Manhattan” had to have been in the on-bridge rehearsal repertoire, with a lyric referencing his part of town, in those Grand Street days: “It’s very fancy on old Delancey Street, you know …. The subway charms us so, when balmy breezes blow to and fro/And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July?/Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by/The great big city’s a wondrous toy just made for a girl and boy/We’ll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.” “I used to blow my horn back at the boats when the boats would blow,” Rollins told the Washington Post in November 2011. “All of that was great. I was in a place where nobody could see me. This was heaven. This was heaven.” ollins possesses you with his own possession,” says Gary Giddins, “getting inside you to restore recollections of the first time you ever realized music was bigger than life.” —Stuart Mitchner

Will class differences doom this fairy tale romance? Or

mentioned that he’s from one the wealthiest families in Singapore, and she’s never talked about how she was raised by an immigrant (Kheng Hua Tan) from China who was a single mom. The difference in social status has not affected their relationship, because Nick is unassuming, and Rachel was able to take advantage of a great education and become an economics professor at NYU. In fact, Nick is seriously considering marrying her and he’s even picked out a diamond ring. However, before he proposes, he wants to take Rachel to meet his family, especially his domineering mother, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh). The perfect opportunity arises when Nick is invited to Singapore for the wedding of his best friend, Colin (Chris Pang). Rachel agrees to go, and upon arriving she soon learns that her beau is one of the island’s most eligible bachelors. However, not only does she find herself unfairly

her brief stay? That is the question asked in Crazy Rich Asians, a delightful dramatic comedy directed by Jon M. Chu (Now You See Me 2). Based on Kevin Kwan’s semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, the film features a colorful cast of characters played by a talented ensemble of Asian actors. In addition to the love story, the picture features enough comic relief and intriguing subplots to entertain you from beginning to end. Don’t let the title fool you, the movie is a sure-fire hit with universal appeal. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for profanity and suggestive content. In English and Mandarin with subtitles.

With Debut for NHL’s Blue Jackets Under His Belt, PU Grad Robinson Fired Up for Training Camp

ric Robinson didn’t have much time to dwell on the disappointment of seeing his career with the Princeton University men’s hockey team end with a 4-2 loss to Ohio State in the NCAA tournament. Two days after the defeat on March 24 in the first round of the national tourney, star forward Robinson followed the Buckeyes to Ohio as he signed a contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL and joined the pro team on Monday. “It was a whirlwind for sure; it was mostly my agent doing the work,” said Robinson, a 6’2, 200-pound native of Bellmawr, N.J. “My agent texted me that night after the Ohio State game, congratulating me for the year, telling me to spend time with my teammates and that we will talk tomorrow. We talked about different options and basically by Sunday night we had some different offers and we were analyzing them and on Monday, we made the decision to go with Columbus. Two hours later, I was on a flight out to Columbus. It all took 48 hours.” Upon arriving in Columbus, Robinson trained with the team for two weeks and then made his NHL debut, starting in the regular season finale as the Blue Jackets fell 4-2 to Nashville on April 7.

Taking the ice that night, Robinson got to soak in the scene. “For warmups in your first game, they usually let you take a lap or two by yourself,” said Robinson. “It was pretty cool to be a part of that and take a lap around and take things in for a second.” Once the game started, Robinson tried to take his mind off the jitters he was experiencing. “I was definitely nervous, I was trying to remember things people told me, like it is still hockey, you are there for a reason, you are not out of place so just play your game,” said Robinson. “In a couple of shifts, it will just become more natural. I was trying to tell myself those things to stay calm and make sure that I didn’t get too jittery.” Robinson got to start the contest and ended up playing 11:21, taking two shots. “It is a much faster game, it is a lot cleaner,” said Robinson, reflecting in his debut. “Everyone is in the spot that they are supposed to be all the time, every pass is on the tape and hard. You don’t have any time at all when you get the puck; there is always going to be a guy right there on you. You have to make decisions quicker. Everything just happens so much faster.” In Robinson’s view, getting to spend two weeks with the

team and having a taste of NHL action will pay dividends as he looks ahead to the 2018-19 campaign. “It definitely helps me a ton heading into the summer and training camp already having a game,” said Robinson. “It is not a ton of experience but enough to know what the game is like. You know what it takes.” Robinson enjoyed a great experience at Princeton, helping the Tigers go from a combined 9-46-6 record in his first two seasons with the program to the ECACH championship and a 19-13-4 mark this winter. Helping the Tigers top No. 2 Cornell 4-1 in the ECACH semis and then edge No. 10 Clarkson 2-1 in overtime in the title game will stand as two of the major highlights of Robinson’s time at Princeton. “We played a couple of really good teams in Cornell and Clarkson; there were a couple of emotional rollercoasters,” said Robinson. “Being able to come out with a conference championship in my senior year is incredible, especially where we came from my freshman year.” In reflecting on the program’s progress, Robinson credits the efforts of Tiger head coach Ron Fogarty and his assistants. “It is obvious to see with the work that our coaching staff put in since they got there,” said Robinson. “We were the first class with them as well so we were making sure that as we got older, we were harping on the younger kids that were coming in to stick with the process, keep working on it, and keep doing everything the correct way, and things will get better. The group of guys stuck with it and the results obviously showed.” Learning from the coaches and sticking with it helped Robinson develop into a pro prospect. “I can’t thank the coaches at Princeton enough for helping me grow as a player; teaching me things that I didn’t know or I was doing wrong and using my assets to better me in every way possible,” said Robinson, who scored 31 points on 17 goals

and 14 assists last winter and ended up with 67 points in his career on 39 goals and 27 assists. After returning to Princeton for graduation, Robinson headed back to Ohio to work on bettering himself under the eye of the Blue Jackets. “I actually moved to Columbus about five days after graduation so I could train with the staff there,” said Robinson. “I think it is good to be out there and get to know everyone and be familiar with how they like to train and just learn every day there. I spent two weeks there and then I had development camp.” At the development camp in late June, Robinson continued to deepen his ties to the organization. “In my previous development camps, I was just a free agent invite; I wasn’t a part of the organization,” said Robinson. “This time I was a signed member of the team and had experience with the team. I was much older than most of the camp. I took on more of a leadership role there compared to previous camps. The comfort level was huge; that two weeks with the team helped that because that experience is going to go so far.” With the Columbus training camp starting in September and its first preseason game slated for September 17 against Buffalo, Robinson is looking to make a good impression as he battles to stay

in the NHL. “You can’t go into camp, saying I am content being sent to the American Hockey League,” said Robinson. “Nothing is guaranteed; the league is so hard to play in. There are going to be so many good players at camp fighting for spots. You have got to get into the best shape that you can and make sure you are doing everything you possibly can do to make the team. As long as you do that, whatever happens from there, happens.” Robinson, for his part, is confident that he has the ability to make things happen.

“I am just hoping that I do well enough that I will be in the mix,” said Robinson. “I have to stick with what I can do. I think skating is one of my stronger assets, so I need to be able to use that as much as possible. I also need to minimize mistakes. In the NHL, you can’t make mistakes, everyone is a mistake-free player basically. That is something I will have to definitely focus on. One thing I can improve on is my physicality, so if I can add a little more grittiness to my game I think that will help me.” —Bill Alden

Dustin Litvak was living the dream of thousands around Los Angeles, landing a job with Jimmy Kimmel Live! shortly after graduating from Pepperdine University in 2001. Star t ing as an inter n, Litvak rose to production assistant for the hit show, running its green room and hoping to get into the writing side. But L it va k t ur ne d h is back on Hollywood in 2003 to follow his love for water polo, having coached the boys’ squad at his high school alma mater, Agoura High, in the L.A. area while he was in college. “I decided that my heart was in coaching,” said Litvak. “I had a strong passion for the game and working with young people and helping them achieve their goals.” Having made that decision, Litvak threw his heart and soul into learning the coaching craft, attending clinics, going to college games, and taking trips to Europe, staying with clubs in Croatia and Montenegro. He helped turn Agoura into a powerhouse, guiding the program to its first-ever CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) Championship in 2007 and three more crowns in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Litvak earned Marmonte League Coach of the Year nine straight years and was a four-time CIF Division IIII Coach of the Year and a seven-time Los Angeles Daily News Coach of the Year. In addition, he was the technical director at the Los A ngeles Water Polo Club from 2012-17 and has coached at several levels with the USA water polo program. He also had a stint coaching the women’s program in Occidental College and then spent the last five seasons at UCLA, working with both the men’s and women’s water polo teams. Now Litvak is heading east to become the head coach of the Princeton University men’s water polo team and serve as an assistant for the Tiger women’s water polo program. For Litvak, the decision to leave the west coast for Princeton turned out to be a no-brainer. “My goal was always to be a head coach at the NCAA level and I was looking for what opportunities that may arise,” said Litvak. “There isn’t as much turnover in water polo as there is in coaching other sports, like football and basketball. There aren’t as many programs in water polo. Luis [former Princeton men’s and women’s head coach Luis Nicolao] decided to leave and the job came open and I was interested. There are players at Princeton I have coached or have coached against, mostly with the club. It was really interesting to me and I started to get more information about it. I was fortunate enough to get a couple of phone interviews and liked it more and more, the more I heard.” Litvak feels fortunate to have gotten extensive experience at UCLA, working under Bruin men’s and women’s head coach Adam Wright.

“One of the great things about working with Adam is that not only is he unbelievable at understanding how to teach the game, and I learned a lot from that, but he also really delegates a lot and shares a lot with his assistants,” said Litvak, who helped the UCLA men’s team win national titles in 2014 and 2015 and the Bruin women to NCAA second place finishes in 2015 and 2017. “I learned about ever y step of the process with my experience on the men’s side and the women’s side. There are no secrets. Everything is shared between us and that really helped my development.” As a result of his growth at UCLA, Litvak sees himself as well suited to thrive at Princeton. “In my coaching career, whether it is high school, club, or collegiate, academics have always been important to me,” said Litvak. “I thought that was a really good fit with Princeton. With all the teams that I have coached, we have always stressed doing as well in the classroom as we do in the pool and staying on top of those things. Also, there are a lot of west coast athletes on the roster; I have a really good pipeline as far as knowing all of the coaches out there and having relationships with them. I can bring some of the levels I have been exposed to coaching-wise out there as well.” In forging relationships

with his new Princeton players, Litvak is emphasizing basics. “My coaching philosophy is based on doing a lot of fundamentals, being in the best condition that we can be, and really stressing our defense first, whether it is our frontcourt defense or our five-on six,” said Litvak. “I am just really making it clear what we are looking for is competitiveness. These are clearly students who are competitive in the classroom and they got to Princeton for a reason, not just because of what they are able to do in the water but more so what they are able to do in the classroom. We want them to be able to compete when they are in the water and make the most out of our time together.” H av i n g c o a c h e d b o t h men and women players at UCLA, Litvak is looking forward to being involved with both programs at Princeton, working with longtime Tiger assistant Derek Ellingson, who was elevated to women’s head coach and will remain as an assistant for the men. “My emphasis year round will be with the men but I am excited to help out Derek with the women’s side as well,” said Litvak. “They both bring different challenges, opportunities, and excitement. I really enjoy working with both genders. My priority is the men, but I will be with the women

as much as I can.” With the men’s preseason practices starting this week as the Tigers prepare to get their 2018 campaign underway in September, Litvak is primed to get to work. “I hear that is a really strong culture and that the guys get along really well. I want to try to keep it as strong as possible,” said Litvak. “It is important to me to have that kind of culture and the right kind of athletes who are in the program. Clearly some of my tactics are going to be a little different so we will be having them learn the system that I am comfortable working with. We want to have a successful season and continue to be in that final game with a chance to win the CWPA (Collegiate Water Polo Association). I am excited to continue the legacy that Luis built and see what we can do to represent the school, community, and the alumni the best way we can.” —Bill Alden

PU Sports Roundup Incoming PU Rowers Medal at Junior Worlds

Three incoming Princeton University men’s rowers and a future Tiger women’s crew member earned medals at the 2018 World Junior Rowing Championships last week in Racice, Czech Republic. Incoming Tiger lightweight George Dickinson stroked the British boat to a gold medal in the men’s eight, while incoming heavyweight Axel De Boissard served as the coxswain for a crew that never trailed in the grand final and won gold in 5:37.56. The boat that pushed Great Britain the toughest was the

U.S. boat, where incoming heav y weight Eli Kalfaian competed in the seven seat. The USA women’s eight also claimed a silver medal, and incoming Tiger open rower Hannah Schaenman served as the stroke for the American boat. The USA made a strong comeback in its grand final; Schaenman helped the boat go from fourth at the midway point to a silver medal, and it got within two seconds of chasing down wire-to-wire leader Czech Republic at the line. Two incoming Tigers were petite final winners on Sunday. Schaenman’s future teammate, Camille Vandermeer, rallied from fourth at the midway point to a victory for the USA in the women’s double sculls petite final.

Former Princeton University star quarterback Chad Kanoff, the 2017 Bushnell Cup winner who broke a handful of program and Ivy League records during a historic Tiger career, made the most of his first preseason game with the Arizona Cardinals last Saturday night.

Below is an article published in the October 1937 edition of Horticultural magazine; before I was born and when my father could barely read. “No well-informed gardener who has admired the beauty of the Crape Myrtle in Southern gardens would attempt to raise it in the North. Fortunately, however, many gardeners, who have a less wide acquaintance, have consistently made the effort with the result that we now have some very interesting information about Lagerstroemia indica. The tree-like top portions are as tender as their native habitat would indicate, but their roots will withstand very severe winters if given a heavy leaf mulch. And, unlike may shrubs which dieback each winter to make new growth in the spring, their annual growth is neat in shape and well formed, rather than leggy, with long, whiplash canes. The plants bloom prolifically in very late summer, the enormous rose-pink trusses rather resembling phlox from a distance. Just before cold weather sets in, a wire circle should be placed around each plant and filled with leaves. The following spring when this is removed, cut the plants back to the ground, and they will send up new tops to grow and bloom again. It is a far cry, of course, from the magnificent Crape Myrtle of the Southern states to this dainty, shrubby perennial which it becomes in the North. That, however, makes it a nonetheless valuable addition to our gardens, nor detracts in the least from its loveliness.” – Ruth Layton Crape Myrtle in Northern Gardens has come a long way since 1937. There are now dozens of handsome and very beautiful specimen shrubs and ornamental trees, many of these cultivars having been produced at the U.S. National Arboretum. Flower colors range from white, pink, orchid to dark red. Our gardens today can be much richer due to these advances. For more information contact Mercer County Horticulturist at (609) 989-6830 or a reliable, local nursery. And remember; “Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful, or joyful.”

For Maddy Peel, mastering a new vocabulary proved to be a key challenge when she joined the Princeton National Rowing Association (PNRA) Mercer Junior rowing program as a neophyte coxswain in the fall of 2014. “It was a lot about learning the lingo at first. There are a lot of words that aren’t used anywhere else,” said Peel. “Once you get the hang of what to say, it starts getting a little bit easier. It is also knowing what is going on in your boat. When you are brand new, you are sitting down and you can’t really tell what is going on. You see eight oars but you don’t really know what is happening.” Peel fou nd her voice, moving up the ranks and becoming a fixture on the club’s women’s lightweight 8. She helped guide that lightweight 8 to a 15th place f in ish at t he USRow ing Youth National Championship in 2017 and ended her high school career by piloting the boat to fifth at this year’s Youth Nationals in Sacramento, Calif. in June. Coming into this season, Peel developed a clearer message for her boat. “I had mostly the same girls from last year so I really knew them and their technique and what they do on and off the water,” said Peel, who recently graduated from Princeton High and is headed to Cornell, where she will be a cox for its women’s rowing program. “I have been trying to dial back what I say and really say only what needed to be said. I try to be as clear as possible; that is something I really worked on this season.” Wit h s o m a ny rower s back for a second year on the boat, Peel sensed it was primed to do some special things this spring. “We just had a really great dynamic on the boat this year. Ever yone was pulling on every single stroke and pushing as hard as they could,” said Peel, who was joined on the boat by Catherine Vinch-Buck (Pennington School), Erin Dobbs (Notre Dame), Nathalie Verlinde (PHS), Taylor Vierling (Northern Burlington High), Maheera Bawa (Montgomery High), Julia Berdzik (Notre Dam High), Chloe Couillens (Hopewell Valley High), and Eveline Enthoven (PHS). “We have also been doing a lot more work and a lot harder pieces on the water this spring. We have just really been pushing together. It helps that a lot of girls on this boat are older. Last year, we had only one person graduating and this year, five of us did. Everyone just had a lot more experience and had better technique as well.” After taking first at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals to qualify for the Youth Nationals, the boat put its nose to the grindstone. “For that first bit of just nationals training, we were doing a lot of harder pieces,” recalled Peel. “Then it was a lot of technique, making sure that we were being as efficient as possible in the water. We

wanted to do better than we did last year.” After taking third in its opening heat at the Nationals and then placing second on the semis, the boat headed to the A final for the top six boats in the competition. Peel and her boatmates knew that they has to push hard from the start to have any chance for a medal. “We have had some rough starts not all that bad, just not our best in the opening heat and the semifinal so our main goal was to really nail down that start sequence for the final, which we definitely did,” said Peel. “We were first off the line at the start and then we were holding steady. I would call a power five whenever it

was necessary and then we also did our power move in the middle.” W hile the Mercer boat didn’t crack the top three, it was a fitting finale for Peel. “It was an amazing way to end my Mercer career. Going from 15th to 5th was quite a large jump,” said Peel. “Making it to the A final was definitely one of my main goals. We were all really happy with how the race went in the end. Everyone was super thrilled with fifth, it was our best race. We were so close as a boat, no individual girls had an amazingly fast ERG time. We were all pushing together and everyone wanted it so much that we were able to make it happen. We were all in sync.”

Pushing her teammates has been a growth experience for Peel on and off the water. “Coxing has helped me in so many different ways,” asserted Peel. “One of the main things that you have to deal with as a coxswain is the dynamic between you being part of the team, but then also you need everyone to respect you at the same time and listen to what you are saying and do what you are saying. That is something I definitely got better at as the years went on. I think that is something that is really useful in life after coxing.” In the meantime, Peel will be continuing her coxing at Cornell, having found a team that she connected with immediately. “I was looking for a competitive rowing program but also a school that was really

good in biology because I think I want to do pre med,” said Peel, reflecting on her college recruiting process. “When I went up on my official at Cornell, all of the girls were so kind. On my first night, it was just me talking to these other girls who were on the team and they were talking to me as though we were equal and I had been there forever.” With Cornell starting the fall semester next week, Peel is fired up to start competing for the Big Red. “I am excited for school, I really can’t wait,” said Peel. “Mainly I want to just keep working on my skills. I really want to work on, even more than I am able to now, really knowing what to say and what are the best calls. I have gotten better at it, but there is still more I can learn and do to be better.” —Bill Alden

Emerging as College Soccer Prospect at PDS, Uche Starting Career With Bucknell Men’s Squad COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540

When C.J. Uche joined the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team in 2014 as a freshman, he didn’t see himself playing at the next level. “I came in thinking that I wasn’t the D-I soccer type; that wasn’t my goal at that time,” said Uche. But after emerging as a star midfielder early in his PDS career, Uche realized that he might have a future in college soccer. “I played Match Fit Academy for four years and the summer after sophomore year, we won the national tournament against some of the highest competition,” said Uche. “It was from there that things started coming together. As we started prepping for junior year that was when I started hearing from my coaches that I was more than capable of playing soccer in college. I started focusing my efforts toward that.” Those efforts paid off as Uche ultimately committed to attend Bucknell University and play for its Division I men’s soccer program. Last week, he hit the pitch for the Bisons as they started preseason training in preparation for their 2018 season opener at Mount St. Mary’s on August 24. For Uche, soaking up lessons from some of the veterans around the PDS program helped put him on the path to college soccer. “As an underclassman, the guys that were there before me, like Marco Pinheiro when I was a freshman, were role models,” said Uche. “To see them play, watching the way they led a team, and watching the way they carried themselves throughout, even in the offseason,

I was able to carry that for three years going on.” As Uche matured during his time with the Panthers, he looked to be a role model himself. “Because I was a captain junior and senior year, that helped me going forward to help other kids raise their game,” added Uche. The game that stands out as Uche looks back on his PDS career is the team’s 1-0 win over Newark Academy in the 2016 state Prep B final. “T he most memorable thing was winning states junior year,” said Uche, who totaled 16 goals and 13 assists over his four seasons with the program. “That was a big accomplishment because it hadn’t been done by us since 2010; it was huge to be on a team that finally captured one.” As Uche went through the college recruiting process, he decided that the Bucknell team provided the best fit for him.

“I was very comfortable with the Bucknell coaching staff and the players when I went on the overnight visit,” said Uche. “Bucknell is in the Patriot League and there were other schools in the league that were looking at me as well. I was interested in D-1 and D-III schools. For me, it was mainly going to the best school.” Having started preseason practices with the Bison last week, Uche is looking to do his best this fall to help the squad be successful. “Personally I am looking to make as much of an impact as I can freshman year,” said Uche. “I think I might play center defensive mid; the guy that played defensive mid just graduated so that position is open right now. I am really hoping to compete for that spot and be able to help us. We are looking to win the Patriot League this year.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Stanley M. Adelson

wife Enid (nee Goodyear), who died in 2011, served as “second parents” for countless Princeton students over the years. His influence extended to the community as he served on the Princeton Human Rights Commission and on a committee that provided scholarships for post-high school vocational training or education. Adelson’s commitment to diversity reflected his wideranging life. He was born in the Bronx, NY in 1923 and was educated in New York City schools, including Stuyvesant High School, from which he graduated in 1941. After completing his freshman year at New York University, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps and saw action in World War II from 1942-45, flying 25 combat missions out of Italy as a member of a B-24 crew. After returning from the war, Adelson returned to college with the aid of the GI Bill and earned a liberal ar ts degree from American University in 1949. In 1950, while working for the National Labor Relations Board, he was called back to active duty during the Korean War with a commission in the Air Force Reserve. His first assignment took him to Gander AF Base in St. John’s, Newfoundland where he met and married Enid. He later accepted a Regular Air Force Commission, making him a career officer, serving in several locations, including three years in London with the 3rd Air Force. As part of his duty, Adelson underwent extensive training in Education at the Air University, setting him on the path that eventually landed him in Princeton. Focusing on education and training, Adelson was assigned to Princeton to serve as the commander and professor of Air Science of the Air Force ROTC. Dur-

ing that stint (1962-67), he was preceptor for a politics course and an advisor to a Woodrow Wilson School undergraduate project team studying a Department of Defense problem. In his last year with the military, he served as Director of Curriculum and as a faculty member for a Management Program at the Air Force Institute before retiring as a Major. In 1968, he returned to the Princeton area for good to accept a newly created position as Director of Staff Training and Communications. While immersing himself in his new role, Adelson, an avid sports fan, became a fixture at Jadwin Gym on game nights for Princeton men’s basketball, bonding with the players and coaches alike. Former Princeton Director of Athletics Walters credits Adelson with forging lifelong friendships. “For those of us on the ‘Stan Team’ who were fortunate to benefit from his presence as undergrads and still later, we have lost an MVP — most valued person,” said Walters. “Stan had a heart of gold that was always on display. His legacy and influence is etched in the DNA of the Princeton basketball program.” A n o t h e r T i g e r m e n’s hoops standout, Ed Hummer ’67, points to Adelson’s ability to connect with Princeton players and students across generations. “I have v a lu e d S t a n’s friendship since I was 18 years old and will miss him greatly,” said Hummer. “I have never known anyone who had close friends who cared greatly about him and who will mourn his passing that covered anywhere near as broad an age range as Stan.”

One of t hos e f r iends, Brian Taylor, a Princeton basketball star in the 1970s who went on to play in the ABA and NBA, notes that Adelson helped influence him to take on a special mentoring role. “Stan was always there for me and I’ll never forget his words of wisdom,” said Taylor. “The times I visited Stan, he encouraged me to come back to Princeton to give back and share with students, athletes, and youngs ters in t he com mu n it y words of advice and knowledge, much like he did for me and many others. He loved the news when I shared with him that I had formed the Brian Taylor Leadership Institute which will feature Stan’s ‘Listen & Learn’ mentorship model.” In the view of current Princeton men’s basketball head coach Mitch Henderson, Adelson made an indelible impact on his Jadwin community. “Stan’s contributions to the history of Princeton basketball are immeasurable,” said Henderson. “For decades, he has been a champion of the program as well as all of the men who have passed through it. We are all better people for having had him in our lives.” In addition to his late wife Enid, Adelson was predeceased by his sister Laura ( Somers ) of Washington, D.C. and his brother Bernard of New York City, and is survived by many nieces and nephews, includ ing Joan Adelson Dwyer of New York City and Robie Goodyear Henriksen of Vancouver, Canada.

ARE YOU BEING REPRESENTED BY YOUR REALTOR? UNDERSTANDING AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS

Realtors in New Jersey are required to disclose how they work with Buyers and Sellers. There are four types of agency: 1. 2. 3.

A Seller’s Agent lists the Seller’s home and is representing the Seller. Any information that a Buyer gives the Seller’s agent will be provided to the Seller. A Buyer’s Agent represents the Buyer. Any information that the Sellers provide the agent will be given to the Buyer. Disclosed Dual Agency is when the Realtor’s Agency represents both the Buyer and the Seller. The Realtor is not permitted to disclose whether the Seller is willing to accept an offer lower than the list price. In regard to the Buyer, the Realtor is not permitted to disclose that the Buyer is willing to pay more than the list price. A transaction broker does not represent either the Seller or the Buyer and all information provided by the Seller and Buyer can be provided to either party.

Next time you meet a Realtor, at an open house or otherwise, ask them how you are being represented.
