Mayor Expresses Position On School Board Bid For Westminster Campus Reacting to a recent newspaper story in which Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert is quoted as possibly supporting the Princeton Public Schools’ bid to obtain the campus of Westminster Choir College, members of the Westminster community took to social media last week to express their dismay. But Ms. Lempert said this week that her comments did not mean she is against keeping Westminster in Princeton. That is the outcome that members of The Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College in Princeton are hoping for, as Rider University, which has owned Westminster for 25 years, seeks a buyer for the Princeton choral academy and its 20-plus-acre campus. The school district is among the unnamed entities that have submitted offers. “She’s obviously anti-arts,” commented one member of the Coalition on its Facebook page. “Obviously she has no concept of what the Choir College stands for,” reads another. “Gee, thanks for your support, Princeton. I guess the town doesn’t care about education beyond high school. And “I wonder if the mayor is aware how invaluable the Conservatory is for the community,” wrote one member, referring to Westminster Conservatory, the community music school that shares space with the college on its Princeton campus. In an email on Monday, Ms. Lempert wrote, “As you know, Rider University is currently in the process of evaluating bids for Westminster College and its campus — either together or separately. Rider is a private institution and the municipality is not in a position to prevent this process from unfolding. However, we are watching it closely. Westminster College and the Conservatory are treasured community assets, and I continue to believe the best outcome for the Princeton community would be for the choir college and conservatory to stay at their current location. My hope is that Rider can find another institution that is willing to operate the college and conservatory essentially as they are now.” “At the same time,” she continued, “the school district is facing rising enrollment, and they are intensely exploring all options for accommodating this growth. Given Rider has decided to sell the property and has opened the process to a range Continued on Page 8

Six Candidates Will Run for School Board Six candidates have filed to run for three available seats on the Princeton Public School Board in the November election, according to Mercer County Election Supervisor Bonnie Epps at Monday’s filing deadline. Beth Behrend, Jenny Ludmer, Julie Ramirez, Jessica Deutsch, Michele TuckPonder, and James K. Fields will be vying for the three-year, unpaid positions. There are 10 regular Board members, plus two student representatives. No incumbents will be seeking reelection, as current Board members Fern Spruill, Justin Doran, and Connie Witter will all be stepping down in January at the termination of their three-year terms.

Critical issues on the horizon for the school district include plans for a facilities bond referendum in March to address over-crowding, the possible acquisition of the Westminster Choir College campus, legal battles and ongoing conflict surrounding expansion of the Princeton Charter School, and widespread community concerns over academic stress, bias, and inclusiveness. Beth Behrend, a corporate lawyer, school volunteer and leader, Riverside Drive resident, and parent of three children who have been through Princeton Public Schools, served as PTO president and vice president of Gardens at Riverside, has been on the PTO council and has served on the boards of the Stony

Shields Leaving McCarter: Theatre Searches for New Managing Director

McCarter Theatre is conducting a national search for a new managing director in the wake of Timothy Shields’ announcement last week that he will be leaving in October to become managing director of The Old Globe theater in San Diego. McCarter Trustee and Human Resources Committee Head Chad Klaus, vice president of University services at Princeton University, will lead the search committee, which will work with Artistic Director Emily Mann, Special Programming Director Bill Lockwood, and other staff members in seeking a new managing director. “Thanks to the efforts of McCarter’s current leadership,” said Tom Miller, director of public relations, “we’re in a very strong position both institutionally and financially and are looking forward to attracting a great group of candidates.” Mr. Klaus noted that Management Consultants for the Arts (MCA) will be assisting in the search “to build upon the accomplishments of Tim Shields and work with the incredibly talented staff of McCarter Theatre.” He added, “We are optimistic that McCarter’s reputation for excellence as both a producing and presenting theater will be an attractive draw for our next managing director.” Mr. Shields, managing director at McCarter since 2009, previously served from 1983 to 1992 as McCarter’s business manager and general manager. His past experience also includes managing director at Milwaukee Repertory Theater Continued on Page 8

The Lawrenceville School ship Shade Tree Advisory Trenton’s Cadwalader Park: An Olmsted Vision is Olmsted’s most successful Committee. He is a retired

The Trenton Museum Society is pleased to announce “Bosted on Olmsted” on Sunday, August 13 at 1:30 p.m. at the Trenton City Museum. The talk will focus on Olmsted’s two designs in Mercer County. There are exhibitions about Olmsted during the Summer of 2017 on both floors of the Trenton City Museum. The exhibits run to September 17. Olmsted believed that the public realm should be a respite; a place to retreat from the stress of urban life, and that public open space should be accessible to all people. By the time FLO began to design Cadwalader Park in 1890, he had been planning parks in this country’s leading cities for over 30 years. Cadwalader Park in Trenton is Olmsted’s last great urban park design. Cadwalader Park is also notable as the only park in New Jersey personally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. While many other parks and spaces were designed by the Olmsted firm in the years following, Cadwalader is the only park in New Jersey to be designed by Olmsted himself.

campus design. Having two Olmsted designs only a few miles apart is a special honor for Mercer County. The talk by David Bosted will delve into the design problems that Olmsted faced in each location, park and campus. The talk will compare and contrast Olmsted’s design solutions in each location. The current exhibit at Ellarslie Mansion opened with a lecture by E. Timothy Marshall, former Administrator for Central Park, covering the design for Central Park in New York City. Marshall spoke about the challenges of maintaining Central Park today. This lecture, Bosted on Olmsted, will primarily have a local focus, and will show how Olmsted’s design principles are revealed in the Mercer County plans. David Bosted has lectured on Olmsted in many venues since his first lecture on the topic at Ramapo College in 1975. He designed and acquired land for a park system for Martha’s Vineyard Island as director of the Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank in the mid-1980s. Locally, David Bosted served four terms as president of the Island Civic Association in Trenton and twelve years as a member of the Trenton City Zoning Board of Adjustment, including serving as chairman of the board. Currently he is a trustee of the Trenton Museum Society and chairman of the Lawrence Town-

attorney who served as a State Deputy Attorney General in New Jersey. He has a master’s degree in urban planning from Rutgers University. For more information about this talk or about the tours, see the Ellarslie website at www.ellarslie.org, call (609) 989-3632 or email tms@ellarslie.org. ———

Starting with more than 175 applications, Mr. Cochrane and his search committee narrowed the list down to Luis Ramirez, principal of Parsons Elementary School in North Brunswick, for the Littlebrook leadership spot to succeed Annie Kosek, who has moved to the central office as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.

The company also made a financial contribution to D&R Greenway, which is located at 1 Preservation Place. The volunteers learned about native species and were taken on a tour of the Scott and Hella McVay Poetry Trail in Greenway Meadows Park.

of buyers, I think it makes sense for the school district to explore this option.” Some members of Princeton Council, most of whom are on vacation or traveling for work, also weighed in this week on the subject. “The town cares about all residents and facilities,” wrote Lance Liverman in an email. “If Westminster is for sale and the town can benefit from the purchase, then I don’t see any problem.” Councilwoman Jo Butler wrote, “Generally, I have made my earlier position clear: the governing body should respect governance boundaries and let the School Board do their job.” Councilman Tim Quinn said, “First, I don’t think Council will consider a formal resolution regarding Westminster Choir College. It’s my personal hope that Westminster remains in Princeton as a music college with a world-class choral ensemble. The college and its community music school, Westminster Conservatory, enrich the artistic life of our community. If the Rider University trustees are unsuccessful in finding a way for Westminster to remain in Princeton under its current structure, I think it is in the best interest of the community for Princeton Public Schools to purchase the campus for the education of our students.” Some Coalition members said they had written to Ms. Lempert and received a letter in response. The Westminster campus is across Walnut Avenue from Princeton High School and next to John Witherspoon Middle School. —Anne Levin

He holds a BFA in drama production from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, his hometown. “I am forever grateful to Tim for his leadership and vision during the most challenging of economic times,” said Ms. Mann. “He leaves our theater stronger than he found it in every way, and I wish him only the best on his exciting next chapter.” Mr. Shields praised Ms. Mann and Mr. Lockwood for their leadership and the McCarter staff for being “professional in every sense of that word, hard-working, and unfailingly dedicated to the production of worldclass theater and presenting world-class artists.” He went on to describe his time at McCarter as “in many ways the pinnacle of my career to date” and his relationships with McCarter board members as “among the most treasured I’ve encountered in my career.” Board President Leslie Kuenne expressed her appreciation for Mr. Shields’ leadership and, in particular, for strengthening the t heater’s operations, its staffing, and its capacities to achieve its mission.

360 NASSAU STREET (AT HARRISON) • PRINCETON

P R I N C E T O N ’ S N AT U R A L F O O D S G R O C E RY F O R 4 7 Y E A R S

Early on Saturday morning, 44 teams comprising over 300 runners will gather in Lambertville, on the banks on the Delaware River, and head east across the Garden State, winding 72 miles through Mercer and Monmouth counties before arriving at the beach in Manasquan late in the day. This year will mark the 22nd running of the River 2 Sea Relay, an event that for many participants has become a beloved annual tradition. Each team of seven divides the course’s nine stages between its members in an event that embodies teamwork to an extent that is rare in the world of distance running. The teams are required to have two support vehicles both to ferry the runners along to their next stage, but, crucially, also to bring cold drinks and energy bars to the runners along the route, towels and sunscreen for those between stages. Running all day under the New Jersey summer sun is punishing, but the balancing act of being part of a rotating crew of runners, drivers, and navigators gives rise to a lively, enthralling camaraderie that tends to counter the energy-sapping effects of the run itself. “Despite the fact that they’re tired and many times are running in very difficult conditions … there’s elation,” says Robert Barwick, the new race director. The idea for River 2 Sea (stylized as R2C) came about in April of 1996, when Mark

Zenobia and Dan Brannen went to see the Olympic f lame pass through Livingston on its way to the Atlanta Summer Olympics. The torch came and went. “It was very boring,” Mr. Zenobia says. And yet, something about the idea of a relay spoke to them. In short order, the two — who were both already involved in race and event planning — were charting courses for a relay route across their home state. They spent about a week, Mr. Zenobia says, driving all day back and forth across New Jersey, looking for a way to navigate the width of the state while avoiding any major highways. Eventually, the latter-day Lewis and Clark found their northwest passage: a 92mile route stretching from Milford to Manasquan. The same route was used until last year, when the shorter course was introduced. The event has changed and evolved over time. For the first decade, Mr. Brannen says, most of the teams were very competitive. They wanted to not only r un across the state, but to do it fast. Gradually, this dynamic eased as more and more strictly recreational teams joined the event. At this point, he says, only maybe half a dozen teams are truly running to race. It’s a figure that throws into sharp relief how, apart from its changes in scale, the event has changed considerably in scale. In its inaugural run-

ning, there were only half a dozen teams. With each successive year, though, the number of teams grew, eventually peaking at 152. At that point, Mr. Zenobia recalls, “we realized that we had more than saturated the event and the patience of local people.” E xc h a n g e z o n e s w e r e overcrowded with support vehicles, and congestion impinged on the essential simplicity of the race. The organizers capped the event at 120 teams, but after a few years of that realized they needed to make f ur ther changes. T he shor tened route introduced last year drew a smaller number of teams, pushing the event into a new stage in its life. It also nudged Mr. Zenobia, who says he is “gradually retiring” to North Carolina from New Jersey, toward a new stage in life. Pleased with last year’s event, Mr. Zenobia stepped down from his position as race director, passing the baton to Mr. Barwick, who has worked on R2C for over 15 years. “It was a great run for me, and Robert and Dan will do very well, and I know it will go well [this weekend],” he says. For his part, Mr. Barwick is looking to carry on the legacy of Mr. Zenobia’s work with as few changes as possible; this year’s event introduced updated online registration procedures, and on race day, runners will be able to track their teammates via a mobile app. Any major fu-

My first goal was to make sure that Mark’s child was treated with respect and dignity.” This weekend, as hundreds of runners head “down the shore,” he’ll be trying his level best to do just that. —Doug Wallack

Princeton Recreation Commission Thanks Blue Curtain Productions for Summer Music

To the Editor: On behalf of the Princeton Recreation Commission, I would like to thank Steve Allen and Curtis Webster of Blue Curtain Productions for their tireless efforts in bringing world class musicians to Princeton for free concerts at the Pettoranello Gardens (Community Park Nor th ) Amphitheater. This summer the crowd filled the venue to see two artists, Mystic Bowie and Sasha Masakowski on July 15, and for July 22 the concert featured Betsyada and Sammy Figueroa. Unfortunately rain forced the cancellation of the July 22 show but many people turned out anyway just for a chance to meet the artists. The partnership between the Recreation Commission and Blue Curtain continues to be a fruitful one for the community. Blue Curtain concerts have become a staple of summer entertainment and as always the concerts remain free to all to enjoy. Blue Curtain has consistently attracted world-class artists to our tiny amphitheater year after year, with little or no fanfare for their efforts. On behalf of the Recreation Commission and my colleagues, I sincerely thank Steve, Curtis, and the entire Blue Curtain Productions team. BEN STENTz Executive Director of Recreation

Christ Congregation Pastor Denounces Policy Denying Transgender Military Service

To the Editor: As the pastor of Christ Congregation, an open and affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ and American Baptist Church — and as a friend and family member to many who have served in the military — I emphatically denounce the White House’s most recent policy denying transgender people the privilege and right to serve in our nation’s military. Scripture says this: “So God created humankind in God’s image, in the image of God, God created them; male and female, God created them.” If, like me, you believe all humans were created in the image of God, then we can assume that God’s existence does not conform to binary definitions of gender. Either God has no gender or God is all genders at once,

meaning God is above-gender. In other words, God is transgender. Indeed, I would stake the claim that our transgender family and our gender-fluid neighbors bear a particularly strong expression of God here on earth. So, Beloved Bearers of God’s Image, while the U.S. military might deny you the privilege to serve, we offer you our congregation as a community where you can serve the world. If you are feeling unsafe, we offer our church as a sanctuary. If you are overwhelmed by ignorant bigotry, we offer our faith that you are eternally and unconditionally loved just as you are, because we believe God made you to be you. God’s Peace, REv. AlExIS FUllER-WRIGHT Minister, Christ Congregation, Princeton

Trials and Triumphs of a Neighborhood — The Voices of Witherspoon-Jackson

athr yn Watterson’s I Hear My People Singing: Voices of African American Princeton ( Princeton Univ. Press) takes its title from the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood’s most famous citizen, Paul Robeson (1898-1976), who celebrates “the honest joy of laughter in these homes, folk-wit and story, hearty appetites for life, and warmth of song” in “hard-working people … filled with the goodness of humanity.” Coming from a man known above all for his prowess as a singer, the emphasis is on “the warmth of song,” as in “Songs of love and longing, trials and triumphs … hymn-song and ragtime ballad, gospels and blues.” While examples of the “goodness of humanity” can be found on nearly every page of I Hear My People Singing, it’s another story when residents past and present bear witness to how it was to live through what Cornel West’s foreword terms “the worst of Princeton’s often overlooked recent past” in “this northern outpost of the Confederacy.” A Statue of Shame One of the most appalling manifestations of segregation in Princeton took place at the almost 100-year-old Garden Theatre, now one of the shining lights of the community, along with a state-of-theart bookstore and library, the arts center named for Robeson, and the plaza named for one of the voices of Witherspoon-Jackson, Albert Hinds (1902-2006). This man, whose name is now rightfully associated with the life-flow of everyday diversity at the heart of the community, experienced first-hand what it was like when blacks wishing to see a movie at the Garden had to climb the staircase to what was then the balcony, the only place they were allowed to sit. In the book’s introduction, Hinds is described recalling “how it hurt him as a young man when his father could no longer climb those stairs. The last time they went, he carried his father up to his seat. After that they stopped going to the movies.” The image is worthy of a statue of shame: a son carrying his ailing father up to the balcony because blacks couldn’t sit with the whites. At the Princeton Playhouse, which opened in 1937 and was demolished in 1980, Witherspoon residents were at least spared a climb. Bessie Parago (1907-2007) recalls how she was on her way down the aisle when her husband called her back, “Bessie, Bess, Bess, you can’t go down there …. You have to sit over here.” Meaning in the back, on the right. A Child of the Neighborhood Two people who could sit up front at the movies were Donald Moore’s Aunt Kissy (1899-1972), who played piano for silent films during the 1920s, and a boy of 12 named Donald Lambert (1904-1962), who did the same some years earlier, probably at the Princeton Theatre, which used to be on the corner of Witherspoon and Spring. It’s amusing to imagine a black kid creating pianistic gallops for white cowboys like

Tom Mix and William S. Hart. Keeping up with a typical western posse-in-pursuit scene was good practice for when Donald Lambert became The Lamb, a legendary stride pianist who could play “Tea for Two” with his left hand and “April Showers” with his right and whose speed-of-sound version of “Hallelujah” could turn on a musical dime into “The Marine Hymn.” A child of the neighborhood, Lambert grew up on Jackson Street (now Paul Robeson Place) before moving to Quarry Street. His father worked as a janitor at the University, where his mother, Elma Julia Skillm a n, s om e t i m e s playe d p i a n o at special events; his g r a n d fat h e r w as Israel Skillman, and his pater nal grandmother Annis Bayard W hycoff. In the course of writing a feature a r t i cl e o n L a m bert in December 2003, I spoke with his grand-niece L e o n a Ve r n o n , who recalled the day of his burial at Princeton Cemetery, when copies of his last album Giant Stride were handed out to family members. She also remembered sitting with Uncle Don as he played, which must have been a treat judging from the size of her smile. The Princeton Plan A recent New York Times series of archival photographs under the heading “Unpublished Black History” includes a picture from 1948 showing two second-graders in front of a blackboard at Princeton’s newly integrated Nassau Street Elementary School; the black girl has her arm raised as if to ask or answer a question while a white boy, chalk in hand, is mulling a problem in addition. The chapter in I Hear My People Singing titled “School Integration: A Big Loss for Black Children” expands on the truth behind the image, which is that African American kids were being taken out of a supportive environment and thrust into an “integrated” system that segregated them all over again, as happened when the black girl was automatically relegated to “general education” while the white boy was groomed for college. You get a sense of what went down from Hank Pannell, who became the founder and president of the Jackson-Witherspoon Development Corporation. He was asked to sing “Shortnin’ Bread” by the music teacher at the newly integrated Nassau Street School and sent to the principal’s office when he refused. On the other hand, Joe Moore, the first African American to

“I’m not I’m not a nice person.” At this point, the poet understands that while “no menace … no particular threat” is meant, the singer is implying that if “I conceived of anything like concord between us I should forget it.” He then thinks of “all the unasked and unanswered questions … left where they were” and imagines singing back “I’m not a nice person either,” except “I wouldn’t have meant it nor he have believed it both of us knew just where we were/In the duet we composed the equation we made the coinventions to which we were condemned.” So “The Singing” ends, the duet of the races, poem and place made one in literature: “Sometimes it feels even when no one is there that someone something is watching and listening/Someone to rectify redo remake this time again though no one saw nor heard no one was there.” The Trolley Song Donald Lambert’s piano pyrotechnics tend to inspire extreme analogies. One listener said that when he plays “The Bells of St. Mary’s” he makes it sound “like he’s playing in St. Patrick’s Cathedral.” When you hear him at his intoxicating best, you can imagine the pianist weaving the many voices of I Hear My People Singing into one great jubilant outpouring of spirit, the equivalent of Paul Robeson’s “love and longing, trials and triumphs.” Lambert’s stunning performance of “The Trolley Song” goes to the heart of the old neighborhood, what with all the memories of the trolley that used to run down Witherspoon Street. As is usually the case, the Lamb creates a sort of anticipatory hush before launching a full-tilt stride fantasia of clang-clang-clanging ding-ding-dinging zing-zing-zinging and thump-thumpthumping. After revisiting Lambert’s rendition on YouTube, I accessed the scene with Judy Garland belting out the original on the trolley in Meet Me In St. Louis. I was enjoying the technicolor splendor of the production, imagining the impact of seeing it on the big screen in 1944 at the Garden. But then it hit home, how it would have been to see a film overflowing with M-G-M’s vision of sentimental Americana at a time when Albert Hinds had to carry his father up to the balcony. ——— erendipity strikes again! You can see Meet Me in St. Louis as part of Hollywood Summer Nights at the open-to-everyone 2017 incarnation of The Garden, which no longer has a balcony, on August 16, two weeks from today, which, as it happens, is James Baldwin’s 93rd birthday. —Stuart Mitchner

serve on the Borough Council, went to the same school and found the transition “a little intimidating” but “not that bad.” Eventually it “grew into a positive experience,” the first time he made white friends outside the John Witherspoon neighborhood: “And some of us remain friends to this day.” Walking with Einstein Fondly remembered throughout the book, Albert Einstein was for all purposes an honorary resident of the neighborhood, even though he lived on the other side of Nassau Street. The affectionate rapp or t t he re nowned scientist enjoyed with the black townspeo ple has also been documented in Einstein On Race and Racism (Rutgers Univ. Press 2005). Besides insights into the relationship between Einstein and Paul Robeson, I Hear My People Singing contains anecdotes like Shirley Satterfield’s (“I loved his uncombed shock of white hair, his baggy sweaters”); her mother Alice Satterfield (19222010), who worked in the kitchen at the Institute for Advanced Study, recalls in Einstein On Race and Racism, “We didn’t talk a lot — on a couple of occasions he held my hand without saying anything. He would just walk in a silent and wonderful way in which you knew everything would be all right …. You felt good walking with him.” A Witherspoon Duet The word Singing set in red type on the cover of Kathryn Watterson’s book brings to mind the prize-winning 2003 collection The Singing (2003) by poet C.K. Williams (1936-2015). A resident of Leigh Avenue at the time, Williams captures the black/white dynamic of living in the neighborhood in the title poem, which begins as he’s “walking home down a hill near our house on a balmy afternoon under the blossoms/Of the pear trees that go flamboyantly mad here every spring with their burgeoning forth.” Around the corner comes a young man singing, though it was “more of a cadenced shouting” that the poet can’t catch “because the young man was black speaking black” and “obviously full of himself hence his lyrical flowing over.” As they walk along in the same direction on either side of the street, the young man “shouted-sang ‘Big’” in reference to the 6’5 poet, who is amused to have his height “incorporated” in the other’s song. But when he smiles, the singer adjusts the message, chanting

“The Lewis School was very supportive of me both as a student and as an athlete. My teachers believed in me all the way. It was a great experience. The Lewis School provided such a special and personalized way of learning that helped me to understand my learning diﬀerences and build conﬁdence. The skills I developed at Lewis allowed me to maintain a B average at the University of Southern California, something that I would never have dreamed prior to attending Lewis.”

sustainabilit y; improving communication, responsiveness, and transparency within the District; and modeling for the students how careful listening, respectful dialogue, and “out-of-the-box” thinking can lead to creative and equitable solutions. Describing herself as “a parent and enthusiastic volunteer for Littlebrook and John Witherspoon,” Jenny Ludmer, a scientific writer, analyst, and researcher, said, “I’m eager to do more.” She emphasized, “The academic stress and bias issues facing our children are unacceptable. With three kids in the PPS system, I’m committed to alleviating these issues and more, so that every student can find both meaning and success.” A Princeton resident for the past six years, now on Caldwell Drive, Ms. Ludmer led the annual Science Expo at Littlebrook, championed the school garden and the Green Team at Littlebrook, served as PTO vice president for com-

munications, served as a member of Princeton’s Complete Streets Committee, a member of Sustainable Princeton, and co-leader of the Social Action Committee of The Jewish Center. Emphasizing her concerns about academic stress at PHS and disturbing incidents of bias in the schools, Ms. Ludmer said, “As a member of the Board, I intend to provide a welcome mat and an open door policy. With a strong willingness to listen and learn, combined with thoughtful analysis and persistence, I can add a meaningful dialogue to the Board. And perhaps most importantly, I am willing to ask the hard questions to ensure the Board has a variety of voices that truly reflect our diverse population.” Julie Ramirez, a project manager for over 20 years, last fall began work with the Office of Finance and Treasury at Princeton University. Her family, currently living on Stone Cliff Road, moved to Princeton in 2003, and her four children are all in Princeton Public Schools.

“As a member of the Princeton Board of Education,” she said, “I will dedicate my time and energy to the following objectives: maintaining the excellence of our schools; providing a learning environment that fosters success and minimizes stress; and promoting inclusiveness of all children in the community. No one should be left behind.” Jessica Deutsch, who has two children who have been in PPS and are now in college, has been a college and pre-med advisor to students at Princeton University and Rutgers and privately to high school and college students and parents all over the country. The Riverside Drive resident has served on the boards of the 101 Fund, Common Ground, and the Friends of the Princeton Public Library. She founded the social media group Princeton Balance. “I want to support innovative teaching and curricular development for authentic learning and purposeful engagement,” Ms. Deutsch said. “I want us to work toward research-driven policies and a healthier culture so that all of our students can thrive and achieve their full potential.” A Princeton resident for almost 26 years, now residing on Laurel Circle, Michele Tuck-Ponder served two terms on the Princeton Township Committee and three years as mayor. Since leaving public office, she has led a number of nonprofit organizations, including the Girl Scouts and YWCA, and she has worked at Princeton University. She currently operates a consulting firm, Ponder Solutions, and serves on the board of Morven Museum and Gardens and as board chair of the United Front Against Riverblindness. “As the parent of two children in the Princeton Public Schools,” she wrote, “I am familiar with many of the successes and challenges facing our schools. After thinking about it for a year, I decided to run at this time for two primary reasons: first, because I have the background, experience, unique perspective, and knowledge to contribute toward moving us closer to fulfilling the PPS mission; second, since I can’t do anything about the chaos engulfing Washington, D.C., I am energized by the opportunity to act locally to make our schools a better place for all children.” Ms. Tuck-Ponder’s daughter Jamaica, a 2017 Princeton High School graduate, gained widespread attention over the past two years for her online blog that focused on bias incidents in the schools. Mr. Fields, a resident of John Street, has lived in Princeton since 2003 with his wife and three children. Before arriving in Princeton he was an associate pastor and dean of students at a school in Maryland, and he currently serves as interim director of the Christian Union at Princeton University. “Next year, I will have two children who will be attending Princeton Public Schools,” he said. “Overall, I’m running as a concerned parent who has decided to take action to be the change that I want to see within the school system, specifically regarding the socioeconomic and racial disparity in our school system.” The School Board’s principal responsibilities include setting and maintaining policies, approving the annual school budget, representing the community’s educational philosophy, and hiring and annual evaluation of the superintendent. —Donald Gilpin

ART REVIEW

Art That Follows You Home – Elizabeth Siddal and Anna Alma-Tadema

BC America’s Broadchurch and HBO’s Game of Thrones have descended on our household just in time to impact my impressions of the Princeton University Art Museum’s (PUAM) current exhibit, “Great British Drawings from the Ashmolean Museum.” What can Gainsborough and Turner offer against Broadchurch’s spectacular God’s-eye views of the Jurassic Coast or the epic chaos of the battle that closed out a recent episode of Game of Thrones? It helps, I know, to be standing in front of the art, but like it or not, my visual sense of the UK for the past few years has been delivered by highly skilled digital technicians: views of the Cornish coast in Poldark; Yorkshire by way of Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax; the Sussex coast in Foyle’s War; the Highlands of Scotland through time-travel in Outlander; Bristol, our home away from home, in the missinggirl mini-series Thirteen; and London old and new in Wolf Hall, Penny Dreadful, and the complete MI-5, along with the live cable coverage of terrorist attacks on the heart of the city, not least the Greenfell Tower fire that a Bristol friend calls “our 9-11.” Character Counts Actually, there’s an element common to my response to “Great British Drawings” and series television. The same way the sweep and splendor of framed artworks proved to be secondary to the humanity of Elizabeth Siddal and Anna Alma-Madema, two women I’d never heard of before, the sweeping visuals of Broadchurch count for less than the relationship between a compatibly incompatible man and woman who happen to be detectives. And while the sound and fury of Game of Thrones can take your breath away, it’s what the characters bring that keeps you watching: the grit of Arya Stark, the wit of Tyrion Lannister. A Whirlwind Tour Reviewing an exhibit as broad and complex as this one, you know at the outset there’s no way you’re going to come out of it with a plan that does justice to the diversity. Something or someone is going to take precedence. What follows is a whirlwind tour of my responses, based on some barely legible notes. My first long look went, predictably, to two watercolors by William Blake, which might have become the focal point of the column, except I’d featured Blake in a spring 2016 review of PUAM’s “The British Passion for Landscape,” with its Blakean title, “Pastures Green & Dark Satanic Mills.” For John Sell Cotman’s structurally adventurous A Ruined House (c. 1807-10), which serves as the exhibit’s poster image, I scribbled “Stand-out” and thought of Cézanne, an association confirmed by The Ashmolean commentary’s citing of a 20th-century art critic’s observation that there was “no need to invoke Cézanne, for Cotman was there to show the way.” Several works attracted special attention because of personal history. Edward

Dayes’s Durham Cathedral seen through an Arch of Ralph Flambard’s Bridge (1797) roused memories of crossing the bridge on my way into town during a month spent in Durham almost 40 years ago. Edward Lear’s view of Constaninople from September 4, 1848, sparked memories of youthful adventures in that magical city. The same thing happened with J.M.W. Turner’s Venice: The Riva degli Schiavoni (1840) and John Ruskin’s The Exterior of the Ducal Palace (1852). I also flirted with the mad idea of spinning a Game of Thrones theme around works like Arthur Hughes’s The Knight of the Sun (1860-61) and Samuel Palmer’s extraordinary creation, Tintagel Castle: Approaching Rain (1848-1849), which inspired the scribble, “Like G of T: a swarm with doorway and turrets.”

The image shown is Anna Alma-Tadema’s Girl in a Bonnet with Her Head on a Blue Pillow, 1902, watercolor and bodycolor with some graphite on board, The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Image © Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford. When the Art Looks at You Toward the end of my tour of “Great British Drawings” I found Anna Alma-Tadema (1865-1943). I’d already made a page of notes about Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s watercolors of scenes from his translation of his namesake’s La Vita Nuova featuring Elizabeth “Lizzie” Siddal (1829-1862), his muse, model, and wife. What appealed to me about Siddal besides her Pre-Raphaelite beauty was that she was a poet and an artist in her own right as well as, more famously, a model. While Siddal came from a working-class London background, Alma-Tadema, whose parents were both successful artists, grew up in an exquisitely furnished home near Regent’s Park. When I saw her watercolor Girl in a Bonnet with Her Head on Blue Pillow (1902) it was as if I’d strayed into the private space of a bedridden stranger in distress. In “real life” I’d have been embarrassed, at a loss, inadequate. Instead, I stayed with her, kept her company, and

forgot about making notes. I’d had a similar reaction 11 years ago when I saw and was seen by Zinaida Serebryakova’s selfportrait, Study of a Girl, in the PUAM exhibit, “Russia’s Age of Elegance.” Feeling emotionally engaged by the subject or style of a particular artwork is rare enough, all the more when you’re moved to prolong the relationship by keeping a small framed reproduction of Study of a Girl on your desk for years. “Look how her eyes follow you around,” a father at the show told his child. How special is it when you feel the art looking at you rather than the other way around? It’s All About the Artist The girl in the bonnet in Anna AlmaTadema’s watercolor has no interest in you or anyone. If she’s looking anywhere it’s into herself. So haunted and haunting is her expression in this intimate moment,

Rossetti’s Beatrice Born in the borough of Holborn in 1829, Elizabeth Siddal was employed in a milliner’s shop off Leicester Square when she was discovered. According to D.G. Rossetti’s brother William Michael Rossetti, she was “tall, finely-formed with a lofty neck and regular yet somewhat uncommon features, greenish-blue unsparkling eyes, large perfect eyelids, brilliant complexion and a lavish heavy wealth of coppery golden hair.” The qualities that made her an effective model for the austere Beatrice were an “air between dignity and sweetness with something that exceeded modest self-respect and partook of disdainful reserve,” That wealth of hair became one of the signature images of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, figuring in an anecdote from the far side of morbid romanticism. After Siddal died at 32 of a laudanum overdose, Rossetti tucked into her hair the only copy of a journal containing all his poetry. Some years later, determined to retrieve the book, he applied to the Home Secretary for permission to have her coffin exhumed. A witness said the body was “well preserved,” her “delicate beauty intact” — her hair, which had continued to grow, filled the coffin. Siddal is the woman looking on in Rossetti’s Dante Drawing an Angel on the Anniversary of Beatrice’s Death (1853) and she’s the cool, remote Beatrice at a Marriage Feast Denying Her Salutation to Dante (1855). The “noble, glorious creature” described by John Ruskin, who imagined her as “someone in a medieval Florentine fresco,” is best seen in Rossetti’s watercolor portrait, Elizabeth Siddal (1854). These were among dozens of drawings of Lizzie, “God knows how many,” said Rossetti’s mentor, Ford Madox Brown: “it’s like monomania with him.” Beatrice Drawing While Siddal’s own drawings, Pippa Passes (1854), from Robert Browning’s poem, and Two Lovers Listening to Music (1854), may seem crude compared to Alma-Tadema’s work, they impressed John Ruskin, who, in the words of the exhibit note, bought everything she produced and became her patron, “offering her quarterly allowances for art supplies in exchange for her work.” Most likely that’s Rossetti and Lizzie sharing a bench in Two Lovers, his arm around her, she leaning on his shoulder, eyes closed. The exhibit note says the scene may have been based on a cliff walk near the seaside town of Hastings, “where there is a spot known as ‘lover’s seat,’ visited by Siddal and Rossetti in 1854....The presence of female musicians resonates with the ballad-like quality of Siddal’s poetry.” When she made the drawing, Elizabeth may have had these lines in mind: “Love kept my heart in a song of joy/My pulses quivered to the tune/The coldest blasts of winter blew/ Upon it like sweet airs in June.” —Stuart Mitchner

with her hands clasped together as if she has no one but herself to cling to, she stirs your sympathies, drawing you into her melancholy reverie. The exhibit label suggests that “the sitter is unknown,” mentions the “sensuous varety of textures—gauze, velvet, swan’s feather and silk,” and suggests that “she engages us as an individual.” But it seems odd to talk about the identity of the sitter when this work is so obviously all about the artist, a self-portrait in the profoundest sense. Online images of Anna show a bemused, uncomfortable, unprotected-looking teenager painted by her father Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, and a dark self-portrait, all Medieval gloom, done when she was 20. Some reproductions of her brilliant work can be seen on the Eclectic Light Company website. Anna’s father’s “Great British Drawings” will be at the portrait of her at 16 is reproduced on the cover of The Awkward Age in Women’s Princeton University Art Museum through September 17.

Project Turns Dohm Alley Into an Art Exhibit After years of planning, the constr uction and as sembly of Design at Dohm A l le y’s ( Da DA ) f ir s t exh i b i t i s u n d e r w a y. T h e public art project seeks to merge Princeton University’s scholarly sensibilities with the public life of the town by adorning the alley with art exhibits. The first exhibit, currently unfolding as the weeks pass, is a tribute to Romantic-era poets. So far, the once-barren alley is now home to a set of sculptures based on famous Romantics such as Keats, Shelley, and Words wor t h. It also contains high-bowed arches, wooden benches, and an opening archway lavishly decorated w ith all manner of floral life, called the moon gate. As the exhibit nears completion, more sculp t u re s a nd fe at u re s, l i ke a poetr y- engraved stone with flowing water, are expected to be included. The idea came from

Princeton Summer Theater Presents Miller’s “The Crucible”; Edgy, Contemporary Production Explores Relevance of Witch Trials

rinceton Summer Theater is presenting The Crucible at Princeton University’s Hamilton Murray Theater. This production of Arthur Miller’s 1953 classic is raw, artfully anachronistic, and evokes the spirit of a staged reading. Theatrical excess has been removed, leaving the ritual of performance. Although The Crucible is set in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, this production avoids establishing a specific time and place. The set is minimal, and the costumes by Julia Peiperl consist of contemporary clothing. Props are limited to lawn chairs, flashlights, and a cooler that one would use on a picnic. A campfire is at center stage. On opposite sides of the stage, two women sit at the campfire. The other performers join them as we hear contemporary music and eerie, otherworldly noises synthesized by Sound Designer Joseph Haggerty. An actor opens a script and begins reading the title, stage directions, and opening scene. Betty Parris, the daughter of Reverend Samuel Parris, lies motionless. The previous evening, Reverend Parris discovered his niece Abigail Williams, Betty, and other young women immersed in a mysterious ritual in the woods. This production’s forest setting, established by the campfire, suggests that a theatrical performance, too, is a mystical ritual. Not unlike the Leading Player and his troupe in Pippin, the musical that opened Princeton Summer Theater’s 2017 season, these actors have “magic to do.” The Crucible is the third production in a season that aims to “reflect the challenges posed to us today by a society that is divided over whether it is better to look to the past for inspiration or to move in the direction of future progress,” states Princeton Summer Theater’s website. “The characters in each play demonstrate vastly different ways of dealing with their individual histories, and are made stronger by facing this adversity.” Pippin was followed by Spider’s Web, a 1954 mystery by Agatha Christie. Although a murder is central to the plot, the overall tone of that play is light, with a sense that conflict and disorder will be resolved. Spider’s Web was given lavish sets and costumes. Following Spider’s Web with The Crucible allows us to observe surprising similarities between the two plays. Both involve imagined witchcraft, extended interrogation sequences, and ever-changing alibis frantically invented under the pressure of those interrogations. The similarities end there, of course. The Crucible is somber, with little humor or sense that conflict and disorder can be anything but ever-present. The lighting by Alex Mannix fits this dark tone; like the set, the lighting is minimal. “We are in a new era of witch hunts. I see divide, I see factions, and I see terror,” director Nico Krell remarks in his program notes. “The act of stepping into someone else’s shoes is our unique tool to bridge the divide.” Rather than merely playing the historical

Route 206 • Belle Mead

characters, the actors — all college students or recent graduates — portray people their age reading scripts and playing the parts. This concept permits them to follow the advice given in the program notes, to perform as someone else. Mr. Krell has developed the idea further by assigning multiple roles to some of the cast members. Rumors of witchcraft pervade Salem. Reverend Parris questions Abigail, the apparent ringleader of the ritual in the woods. She denies they were engaged in witchcraft. Parris asks Reverend John Hale, an expert in demonology, to investigate. Abigail threatens the other women into abetting the fiction that they were merely dancing in the woods; in reality they attempted to conjure a curse. John Proctor sends most of the women away, including Mary Warren, his family’s maid. He confronts Abigail, who insists that she and the other women were not performing witchcraft. We learn that Abigail once worked for the Proctors; she and John had an affair, and because of this she was fired. Abigail still has feelings for John, which he insists are no longer mutual. John and his wife, Elizabeth are shocked to learn that nearly 40 people have been arrested for witchcraft based on the testimony of Abigail and the other women. John knows that their supposed “possession,” is fictitious, as Abigail told him so when they were alone together. Elizabeth is upset to discover that John was alone with Abigail. Mary gives Elizabeth a puppet that she

made in court while acting as a witness. John threatens to beat Mary for neglecting her duties; Mary counters that she saved the life of Elizabeth, who would have been arrested for witchcraft had Mary not spoken in her defense. Mary refuses to identify Elizabeth’s accuser, though Elizabeth accurately suspects Abigail. Elizabeth begs John to tell the judges that Abigail and the other women are pretending, though John fears that this will force him to publicly reveal his affair with Abigail. Reverend Hale, who is skeptical about the Proctors’ devotion to Christianity, challenges John to recite the Ten Commandments; John forgets “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Elizabeth is angry that Hale hasn’t questioned Abigail first. Hale warns them that many of the accused have confessed to witchcraft; John retorts that they would have been hanged had they not confessed. Soon there is a warrant for Elizabeth’s arrest. John orders Mary to accompany him to court and expose the lies of the other women. She refuses and warns him that Abigail is willing to reveal their affair. John resolves that the truth must take precedence, despite any personal costs. Eventually, Danforth threatens to sentence Mary Warren to hang; she recants her previous testimony against Abigail and the other women, claiming that John turned her against the others and harbors the devil. John is arrested after he angrily declares that “God is dead.” During most of the trial sequence, no stage

lighting is used. Instead, the actors point flashlights at each other. This effectively impairs the audience’s perspective, forcing us to see only what the actors — and by extension their characters — wish us to see. Hale begs Danforth to pardon the others and end the trials. Danforth refuses, stating that pardons would cast doubt over the previous confessions and hangings. Hale urges the condemned prisoners to avoid execution by falsely confessing. John, who has refused to confess out of contempt for the court and his accusers, must decide whether or not to die for his beliefs. Mr. Krell’s concept is well served by a talented cast. Rare transparency is offered by letting the audience hear stage directions, but this transparency is matched by Christopher Damen’s layered performance as John Proctor. John is a complex character with much to hide; unlike the copies of the script, John is anything but an open book. Mr. Damen selectively reveals different facets of John’s personality and history, a little at a time. Abby Melick, too, brings an equally nuanced performance to the role of Elizabeth, mixing palpable fear of the situation with a determination to protect her family from anything that threatens to tear it apart. This is complemented by Alexandra Holden’s performance as the manipulative Abigail Williams. Similarly, Ben Diamond’s sympathetic portrayal of an earnest Reverend Hale is matched by Robby Keown’s eerily dispassionate Danforth. The cast is well completed by Peter Giovine as Rev. Parris and Meagan Raker as Mary Warren. Singing of hymns demarcates the play’s four acts. This use of music recalls Inherit the Wind, another mid-1950s drama concerned with the intersection of religion and government. Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible as an allegory to McCarthyism after a director, Elia Kazan, appeared before the House Un-American Activities committee and named several theater professionals as members of the Communist Party. Like John Procter, Mr. Miller eventually was forced to face the very entity he decried; three years after The Crucible opened, he was called to testify before the committee. He was convicted for contempt of Congress after refusing to associate any of his colleagues with his political activities, though his conviction was overturned by the court of appeals. his version of The Crucible does not offer the type of historical drama one might remember from a high school English class. Indeed, the script’s establishment of time THE CRUCIBLE: Performances are underway for Princeton Summer Theater’s production of and place is resolutely ignored. Stylistically, “The Crucible.” Directed by Nico Krell, the play runs through August 6 at Princeton Univer- this staging is similar to many productions sity’s Hamilton Murray Theater. Elizabeth Proctor (Abby Melick, left) is confronted by her of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, or to husband John (Christopher Damen).

PU Concerts 2017-18 Season Tickets On Sale

Single tickets to all 201718 Pr inceton Universit y Concerts ( “PUC” ) events are now on sale, online only, at princetonuniversityconcerts.org. These include the Concert Classics Series, PUC125: Performances Up Close, All-in-the-Family Series, Richardson Chamber Players, and the ground breaking multimedia Special Event featuring the Emerson String Quartet and an ensemble of 7 actors. Tickets will be available by phone and in person after September 5, 2017 by calling (609) 258-9220 or at the Frist Campus Center box office. PUC’s upcoming season promises to be one of the most diverse in the series’ 124-year history. The programming brims with surprises, spanning everything from 17th-century “pub music” performed on period instruments with beer accompaniment (Barokksolistene, Baroque Ensemble) to a Galician bagpipe virtuoso (Cristina Pato, of the Silk Road Ensemble) exploring Latino music from all around the world. Tenor Lawrence Brownlee will make his PUC debut in a poignant juxtaposition of Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe with AfricanAmerican spirituals, and The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s “Meet the Music” concert for kids teams up with musicians from the Silk Road Project and Global Musicians Workshop in a showcase of instruments from different cultures. Other notable debuts include 25-year-old pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, the celebrated period-instrument ensemble Quatuor Mosaïques, and cellist Truls Mørk in a rare recital appearance with PUC alumnus Behzod Abduraimov. Pianists Sir András Schiff and Jonathan Biss join the star lineup of artists making their return to the series, as does violist Tabea Zimmermann, the Brentano String Quartet, the Tenebrae Choir, and the Artemis String Quartet.

The Emerson String Quartet, though very familiar to PUC audiences, make a highly anticipated return in an unusual, ground breaking multimedia theatrical realization of Anton Chekhov’s short story The Black Monk, a music-theater piece directed by James Glossman. This special event, Shostakovich and the Black Monk: A Russian Fantasy, features a stellar cast of actors including Len Cariou and Jay O. Sanders. As the popular PUC125: Performances Up Close initiative, with audience seated onstage around the performers, returns in programs that explore the importance of the folk tradition within classical music, never before has the series’ promise to foster “music without bounds” permeated as deeply into its programming, leading to a very diverse 2017-2018 season.

As part of the celebration of 115 years of Cadwalader Park, the Trenton Museum Society and the city of Trenton welcome Amazin Grace and the Grace Little Band in a free concert in Cadwalader Park on Sunday, August 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. This dynamic group consists of eight talented musicians, including two lead vocalists, a full rhythm section, and a sax player. Patrons should bring a chair or blanket. Born in Jersey City, Ms. Little moved to Trenton at the age of five. Growing up with six siblings, she was inspired to pursue music as a career by her mother, a gospel singer, and her father who sang in the church choir. The whole family embraced music and spent many evenings listening to songs from their favorite records. At the age of 12, Ms. Little auditioned at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. She impressed the amateur night audience with her performance and won in the adult category. Ms. Little met a mentor who began giving her voice lessons at Trenton Central High School. By age 13, she was performing with a four-piece band and by age 17, she had signed with a major management company and was appearing in The Wiz, Dream Girls, and Oh Calcutta.

Snow White will be the next show in the Open Air Theatre’s summer children series beginning August 4 and continuing through August 13. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m. With lyrics and music by Open Air co-artistic director Louis Palena, audiences will meet Snow White, her sister Rose Red, a mysterious gypsy woman, seven protective dwarfs, a Wicked Queen, and a Prince. Mr. Palena has taken the story loved by generations of readers and created a new theatrical work that promises to delight audiences of any age.

the technological world. In 1930, 1,500 people came to visit, including President Hoover’s son, Herbert Jr. As a result of innovations in antenna technology, smaller rhombic antennas began to be installed in 1932. These were the poles that gave the site its nickname. It continued to grow as a telecommunications hub, especially as World War II broke out in Europe. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill phoned President Franklin Roosevelt with the U.S. side of the conversation transmitted though Lawrenceville. By 1957 the Lawrencevile site was then the largest radiotelephone station in the world. Calls had increased from 47 a day in 1929 to more than 2.5 million in 1957, and the demand for international calls continued to grow. At its highest point, in 1963, six million calls went through the station. But with the installation of transatlantic telephone cables and the launch of communications satellites, poles started to come down in the late 1960s as circuits were discontinued. AT&T made the decision to close and demolish the Lawrenceville

Europe. But while AT&T’s North American customers could talk to other North American customers, service was not available to Europe. With the technology available at the time, the only way to solve this problem was radio: encoding the call into a radio signal and then sending it across the ocean to a receiver on the other side. In 1928 AT&T determined that the receiving site would be near Netcong, N.J. They then needed to pick a transmitter site that was nowhere near the receiver so there would be no interference. They also needed several hundred reasonably-priced acres of flat land that were not close to population centers, as well as a reliable source of electric power. The site also had to be close to the main AT&T telephone trunk line that ran up and down the East Coast. EDThey soon focused on MerT S LI cer County, and bought the ST land in Lawrenceville from 14 local farmers. They built two buildings to house the transmitters, as well as 26 steel, 80-foot towers to support the antennas. While this work was happening at the Lawrenceville site, AT&T’s counterparts in England and Argentina built their own ED matching shortwave receivST I L ing and transmitting staD tions.

Chapin School

The Margaret A. Wilby School for Early Learning encourages children to build out their curiosity and to wonder at the world around them. We give children the right strategies and the right

road map to reach their highest potential in a safe, nurturing environment. The program offers a harmonious balance between STEAM-focused, inquiry based experiences, and connections to the natural world. Enriching academics, arts, environmental, STEAM-based experiences best prepare children to flourish as leaders and learners. Our students learn important foundational academic skills while spending as much time outside as possible learning about the environment. Chapin encourages joyful learning and exploration. As studies show, ”Essentially, humor activates our sense of wonder, which is where learning begins...” A quick fit of giggles while learning actually helps our brains remember! Connections are made across the curriculum and our young students learn concepts of

coding, engineering, physics, applied math skills, and artistic expression in our STEAM workshop, developed specifically for the needs of pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first-grade students. Beginning in September, the program will be year-round and run from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, go to www. chapinschool.org/explorers. ———

Peterson’s Nursery

Established in 1939, Peterson’s Nursery has developed from a roadside produce stand to a full-service garden center and landscaping company. What started with a 6-year-old child selling blackberries in front of his family home has turned into a second-generation family business located on nearly eight acres of land bordering Princeton and Lawrenceville. We still carry fresh local produce, much of which is grown on site. Peterson’s Nursery has been at the forefront of organic gardening for decades. In the early 1980s we eliminated chemical pesticide spraying of our plant inventory and made the switch to beneficial insects, including everybody’s favorite, the ladybug. At the time the concept was virtually unheard of and

very expensive. Around the same time we also began experimenting with liquid seaweed as a fertilizer. The plants loved it. It has now been nearly 30 years since we made the switch away from chemicals and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Our customers continually comment on the freshness of the air in our greenhouses. We have wildlife in our nursery, birds chirping, and squirrels and rabbits running around. It really feels more like a park setting than a typical garden center. We truly are in the green industry. We feel it is our responsibility to help people make the right decisions for their gardens. While we do still carry the familiar chemical controls and fertilizers, we will always recommend an organic product over a manufactured one. Our environmental responsibility carries right into where we source our inventory. We buy most of our products from local suppliers to minimize freight distances. Less miles means less exhaust emissions going into our atmosphere. Our greenhouses are covered with shade cloth and also have temperature-controlled vents, reducing our need to run fans and cooling equipment. ———

We have five flavor profiles and sell our creations to retailers as well as chefs and food service clients, who use our products in numerous and versatile ways – quick cocktails, drizzled over eggs for breakfast, spread in a sandwich, or a more sophisticated sauce for supper. Our creations can be used straight out of the jar. ———

CINEMA REVIEW

Lost in Paris

Canadian Librarian Courted by Hobo While Searching for Aunt

subscribe today PRINCETON UNIVERSITY CONCERTS 2017-2018 • 124TH SEASON Our garden is ripe with world-class artists from across the globe whose different backgrounds and musical languages are united by a devotion to craft and expression. Take a moment to stop and smell the roses for any or all of this globetrotting season...

f you’re familiar with the surreal cinematic stylings of Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon, then you have an idea of of the treat in store for you in the film Lost in Paris. The talented husband and wife team wrote, directed, and co-starred in their latest foray into the theater of the absurd. The movie is best described as a cross between Wes Anderson and Charlie Chaplin, because it is an unconventional visually captivating movie with not much dialogue from the leading actors. The rubber-faced duo entertain far more with their movements and expressions than with words. The film opens in Canada about 50 years ago, where we find Fiona (Gordon) saying farewell to her beloved Aunt Martha (recently-deceased Emmanuelle Riva) who is moving to Paris. Fast-forward to the present when Fiona, now a librarian, receives an urgent appeal for assistance from her 88-year-old aunt. In the letter, Martha explains that they’re trying to move her into an assisted living facility for old folks. But the feisty aunt will have none of it. Fiona accepts her aunt’s call for help and the next thing

you know Fiona is in France with a large bright orange backpack decorated with a Canadian flag. Her troubles start right off the bat, when she gets stuck in a subway turnstile because of her oversized backpack. The slapstick escalates further when the weight of the knapsack causes her to topple into the Seine while posing for a photo on a bridge. In order to keep from drowning, she has to free herself from the backpack, and ends up losing all her possessions, including her passport, cell phone, cash, and clothes. Fortunately Fiona had just met Dom (Abel), a hobo living in a tent pitched along the banks of the river, who just happens to fall in love with her. So, Fiona finds herself having to fend off the advances of her ardent admirer while frantically searching for her missing aunt. The ensuing search is charming, sublime, hilarious, and implausible. An endearing homage to the silent film era! Excellent (HHHH). Unrated. In French and English with subtitles. Running time: 83 minutes. Distributor: Oscilloscope Laboratories. —Kam Williams

Variety of Opportunities and Services Are Offered by Theia Senior Solutions

f indeed, as studies indicate, 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day and will continue to do so for at least the next decade, the implications for the health care system, for seniors and spouses with health problems, and for adult children of aging parents are very challenging.

IT’S NEW To Us

As the population ages, increasing numbers of people face health-related decisions that can affect the entire family — and society. Realizing the magnitude of this situation, Joanna Gordon Martin decided to tackle this very complex issue. After investigating all aspects of available care for older people with health considerations, the former bio-tech executive, specializing in marketing and entrepreneurship, founded Theia Senior Solutions in 2015, with headquarters at 281 Witherspoon Street.

“Caring for aging parents can be challenging even under the best circumstances. When adult children live thousands of miles away from their parents, navigating a fragmented healthcare system can become incredibly burdensome and time-consuming, especially in times of crisis,” explains Mrs. Gordon Martin. Strategic Plan “I was thinking about my own mother, who lives in Florida. I wanted to take a look at the support that was available, government agencies, etc. I wanted to inform myself about issues that could come up, and as I realized the need, I thought: What do people do? How do they manage? There was an incredible need. I thought if my mom got sick, I wanted the best and brightest to help her. Indeed, I wanted to create a group of the best and brightest.” Named for T heia, t he Greek goddess of light and clarity, Theia is proactive, personalized, and integrative, said Mrs. Gordon Martin. “It starts with a simple c o n v e r s a t i o n to a s s e s s needs, preferences, and family dynamics. We start by listening to a family’s need, and then we offer a customized strategic plan.” Mrs. Gordon Martin points out that Theia Senior Solutions serves multiple generations, including adult children of aging parents, healthy retirees, and those older individuals beginning to plan for possible health

problems. They can include the following, she explains: • The Sandwich Generation: Caught between the needs of aging parents, dependent children, and demanding careers. • The Healthy Retiree: Familiar with the complexities of financial and estate planning, motivated to reduce risk in the unknowns by planing for aging their way. • The Aging Gracefully: Reliant on trustees, or without local family support or caregivers, these older adults seek Theia’s broad expertise and responsive customized solutions. Basic Concerns So many concerns can arise and worry people as they become less able and independent, observes Mrs. Gordon Martin. “Who will help with grocery shopping and the basic concerns of daily living? Who will change the light bulb? How will I get my ice cream? Who will I have lunch with if I can’t drive?” These are examples of many considerations that older individuals face. Finding an aide is not always easy, and if families are far away, trying to help with arrangements and support can be difficult and very time consuming. A recent study of long-distance caregivers showed that roughly half spent the equivalent of nearly one full work day per week managing the care of an aging loved one, reports Mrs. Gordon Martin.

“Many people are looking for a trusted adviser. What truly distinguishes Theia is our team of highly skilled client advisers, each with an average of 20 years of geriatric expertise, who serve as the single point of contact for the client, planning and managing all aspects of care,” she said. “The type and level of monthly service will depend on the family’s need, but could include, among other offerings, patient advocacy (attending doctor’s appointments, going to the hospital, if needed), evaluating supportive care options (home care agencies, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities), or providing quality of life enhancement (transportation, visits).” Unique Nuances Mrs. Gordon Martin notes t hat e ach sit uat ion has unique nuances, and Theia’s staff is committed to providing the highest level of personalized service to each client. The staff of professionals from healthcare, consulting, and the financial industry are able to create a comprehensive roadmap for care, which includes client enrollment in the TheiaVault, a “proprietary cloud-based portal designed to prepare families for emergencies by providing 24/7 access to critical documents, such as healthcare proxies and advanced directives for authorized family members.” In addition, hard copy information of all documents (insurance, power of attorney, medical records, and so on) are available to clients and families. Mrs. Gordon Martin points

TEAM WORK: “The issue in aging is that everyone is an individual, and the issues are different for every family. The family dynamics are different, and the fragmented healthcare system is very challenging. We are the single point of contact, the quarterback who can help people find what they need.” Joanna Gordon Martin, founder and CEO of Theia Senior Solutions (back row, far right), is shown with the company’s team of experts. out that Theia is unusual in that it does not accept referral fees or commissions. Theia’s clientele includes people of means who can afford high-end solutions, she notes. Headquartered in Princeton, the company has clients and centers in the New York tri-state area, Philadelphia metro area, and Florida. “I am very grateful for what I have been able to do to develop Theia and to help people and the impact we can make. I’m grateful to my staff and their commitment to the families we serve. I learn something from every family. They are so highly individualized. “The challenge is getting people to have the conversation. You never know what is going to happen, and it is

better not to wait until there is a crisis. My dream is that everyone starts to plan more proactively, and with our wealth of resources we can help them in so many ways to have peace of mind.” Theia Senior Solutions can be reached at ( 844) 843-4200 for an appointment.

After Record-Breaking Career for PU Men’s Hockey, Star Goalie Phinney Headed to Manitoba of AHL

ver the last two years of his Princeton University men’s hockey career, star goalie Colton Phinney gained a special mentor. Phinney connected with Mike Condon ’13, his predecessor as the starter between the pipes at Princeton who went on to the pro ranks and has established himself as a NHL goalie, having recently re-signed with Ottawa after previous stops at Montreal and Pittsburgh. “We have become pretty good friends over the last couple of years and he has helped me along the way,” said Phinney, describing his relationship with Condon. “He has been super helpful.” Now, Phinney is looking to follow in Condon’s footsteps having signed with Manitoba Moose, the American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets. “I am definitely really excited, I need to work really hard this summer obviously to get a lot better because it is going to be a big jump,” said Phinney, a 6’1, 175-pound native of Chatham, who heads to training camp next month with the regular season starting in early October. “I feel like a lot of college guys have made the jump and some guys have made the jump right to the NHL. It is definitely possible. You

have to work very hard and make sure you don’t take it for granted. It is a great opportunity.” The heroics of Phinney in goal helped Princeton make a major jump in his senior campaign as the Tigers went 15-16-3 and advanced to the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals after going a combined 1572-6 in the previous three seasons. “In December, we went on that big streak where we beat Quinnipiac and we beat Bemidji State and that made us realize we can compete,” said Phinney, who posted a 3.06 goals against average and a save percentage of .908 in his senior campaign. “I think that everyone was going through it as a group. Everyone matured and from there on we had a lot of confidence as a team and we did pretty well.” That confidence was displayed in a riveting ECACH best-of-three opening round playoff series against visiting Colgate which saw the Tigers bounce back from losing the opener and trailing 3-2 with seconds left in regulation in game two to eventually prevail as it won the second game 4-3 in overtime and then won the final game 2-1. “If we didn’t win that playoff series it is, eh, this is the same as the last few years

being out in the first round,” noted Phinney. “The fact that we were able to get that win in a first couple of years was big. We lost to Union in a pretty good series after that.” For Phinney and his classmates, helping the Tiger program take a big step forward in their final season meant a lot. “It is definitely awesome looking back on it,” said Phinney, who recovered from shoulder surgery last summer to enjoy a big senior year graduating as the all-time leader in saves at Princeton with 3,696 and the third best save percentage in program history at .912, playing in 110 games. “We had a tough three years, to end with our best year and a pretty good year, we have given the program something to lead off from. It is really nice.” Earlier this summer, Phinney had a nice experience as he took part in the Winnipeg Jets development camp from June 26-30. “This year was different; I wanted to learn as much as I could about the organization, there was a lot more pressure,” said Phinney, noting that he attended the New Jersey Devils Development Camp in 2015. “It was a pretty awesome week experience-wise; the goalie coaches were really,

MANNING UP: Colton Phinney makes a save this past winter during his senior season with the Princeton University men’s hockey team. Phinney ended his career as the all-time leader in saves at Princeton with 3,696 – the most by an active goalie in the NCAA, the third-most saves by a goalie in ECAC Hockey history, and the eighth in NCAA history. He recently signed with the Manitoba Moose, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets, and will be starting his pro career this fall. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) really helpful. I got to see what they wanted to add to my game when I come back. I feel like I got to see our training and workouts, a lot of stuff like that.” As he makes his final push before heading to training camp, Phinney is working out with Condon at Merrimack College in the Boston area under the tutelage of famed goaltending coach Brian Daccord. “It has been really helpful training next to Mike and watching him,” said Phinney. “He is pretty unbelievable, just skating with him. I skated with him two years

ago and now last week and just how much better he has gotten is amazing. He is so good.” Looking ahead to his pro debut, Condon is aiming to make similar progress as his mentor.

“I want to play as much as I can and move up to the next level in the next few years,” said Phinney. “I want to play well and show that I belong.” —Bill Alden

PU Sports Roundup PU Soccer Legend Bradley Taking Helm of LAFC

Former Princeton University men’s soccer star and head coach Bob Bradley ’80 has been named as the first head coach of the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), t he incoming expansion club of Major League Soccer (MLS). It was nearly 20 years ago that Bradley got his start in the MLS when he was hired as head coach of then expansion team Chicago Fire in 1998. He earned coach of the year honors after leading the team to MLS and U.S. Open Cup titles in 1998, and won the Open Cup again in 2000. He left the Fire to take the head job with the MetroStars from 2003-05 before heading to Chivas USA in 2006. He ser ved as the head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team ( USMNT) from 2007-11. In his first FIFA World Cup, in 2010 in South Africa, Bradley and the U.S. tied England (1-1) and Slovenia (2-2) and beat Algeria 1-0 to win Group C. The U.S. was eliminated in the round of 16, falling to Ghana 2-1. The team also won the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup and finished second in 2009. Bradley served as head coach of his second national team, Egypt from 2011-13 as the team made a push for World Cup, but lost in a playoff series to Ghana. Since then he coached Norwegian club Stabaek, French side Le Havre and English Prem ier L eag ue club Swansea City. He became the first American to manage in the Premiere League but was let go after 11 games. At Princeton, Bradley led the Tigers in scoring during his senior season of 1979, when the team advanced to the second round of the NCAAs. He began coaching the Tigers in 1984 and in the next 12 seasons built the team into an Ivy League and national powerhouse.

Princeton won two Ivy titles and earned three NCA A Tournament bids from 198495 and advanced to the NCAA semifinals in 1993 for the first time in school history. Bradley is t he second Princeton alum coaching in the MLS, as he joins Jesse Marsch ’96, a player he coached at Princeton and hired as an assistant while he was with the USMNT. Marsch was named the MLS Coach of the Year in 2015 in his first year with the New York Red Bulls. ———

Tiger Men’s Hoops Star Cook Joining Pro Team in Estonia

Steven Cook ’17, a firstteam All-Ivy League honoree as he helped the Princeton University men’s basketball team to the NCAA Tournament in the 2016-17 season, has become the latest Tiger to continue his career professionally. Cook has signed with Estonia’s BC Tartu, the winner of a league-best 26 titles in the country’s national league. While leading the team at 13.6 points per game last winter in his senior campaign, Cook, a 6’5, 200-pound native of Winnetka, Ill., was the Tigers’ second-leading rebounder at 5.1 per game, shooting .486 from the field and .426 from 3. During his senior season, Cook became the 32nd member of Princeton’s 1,000-point club, finishing with 1,148 points to stand 15th in program history. C o o k ’s p e r f o r m a n c e helped Princeton run the table in the Ivy League, going 14-0, before winning the inaugural Ivy League Tournament and falling 60-58 to Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Off the court, Cook excelled as well, earning a place on the Allstate NABC Good Works Team, which takes into account a player’s academic achievement and community service efforts as well as his on-court accolades. Cook also became Princeton’s first CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree since 2007 and first CoSIDA Academic All-America winner since 1998.

Cook’s new team is located in southeastern Estonia, two hours from the country’s capital, Tallinn. ———

PU Hockey Alum Koelzer Returns to New York Riveters

Recently graduated Princeton Un iver s it y wom e n’s hockey star Kelsey Koelzer has re-signed with the New York Riveters of the National Women’s Hockey League, entering into a contract for the 2017-18 season. The No. 1 overall selection in the 2016 NWHL Draft, Koelzer became the first player to sign a late season contract, when she signed on with the Riveters in early March as the team made a push for the playoffs. She played in one playoff game before the Riveters were eliminated. A t wo -time Pat t y Kazmaier finalist and first-team All-America, Koelzer was an ECAC Hockey three-time selection. The 2016 ECAC Best Defenseman of the Year, she was a finalist for the award again in 2017. The 2016 Ivy League Player of the Year finished her career playing in 128 games and is just the third defender in Princeton history to reach 100 points, scoring 39 goals and 61 assists. She had an incredible 203 career blocks and finished with a +46 onice rating. As both a junior and a senior, Koelzer ranked second nationally in points per game for a defender. Koelzer has also been a part of the USA Hockey organization, attending national team camps and festivals and was a member of the 2017 Under 22 Select Team. ———

PU Alum Stillitano Named in Soccer Poll

Princeton University men’s soccer alum Charlie Stillitano ’81 made ESPN FC’s recently announced list of the top 50 most influential people in football, getting chosen as No. 48. Stillitano is the Chairman of Relevant Sports, and organizes the International Champions Cup (ICC). The Cup brings European clubs to the United States each summer to play in preseason

friendlies. The 2014 ICC notably set the all-time attendance record for a soccer game in the United States, as 109,318 fans watched Manchester United vs. Real Madrid at Michigan Stadium. Last Saturday, bitter rivals Real Madrid and FC Barcelona battled each other in Miami before a raucous crowd of 66,014, providing a highlight of the 2017 ICC. In naming Stillitano to the list, ESPN FC cited the impact of the ICC, noting that “preseason tours are as much about marketing and money as they are form and fitness, and Stilitano has established himself as the goto person in this field.” Stillitano, who played at Princeton with Bob Bradley, the former U.S. national team head coach and incoming head coach of the Los Angeles Football Club ( L A FC ) of Major League Soccer, was named honorable mention All-America in 1979 when he was a junior and helped the Tigers to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The following year he captained the 1980 squad.

I have ever had to manage,” said Hickey, who credited former PNRA/Mercer teammate and Stanford sophomore rower Rena White with being there for her. “I think the academics were really challenging and then also having to be at practice every day; having to be 100 percent in practice and 100 percent in class too was probably the biggest thing to get used to.” Giving that 100 percent effort on the water helped Hickey quickly advanced up the ranks of the Cardinal lightweight program. “I was in the varsity 8 for Princeton Chase in the fall,” said Hickey. “I was in 7 seat in the fall and then I stroked for every race in the spring.” Rowing in the stroke seat and thereby being responsible for setting the rhythm and stroke rating for the

ing second in 6:30.608. “That was a great race; I think from the start we were so ready to go,” recalled Hickey. “I feel like the whole race was kind of a daze. That was our best race of the season, we feel like we put out everything that we could do on that piece. It was really satisfying to be that far in front and everybody felt like it was a great way to end the season.” As she focuses on ergometer work and cross-training this summer, Hickey is hoping for a great sophomore season. “We are trying to do exactly what we did this year, we are trying to go for the national championship,” said Hickey. “I think our coach [former Princeton University rowing standout Kate Bertko] will probably have us racing some more open weight crews so that will be another challenge.” —Bill Alden

“I think winning the bronze medal at nationals in the lightweight 8 my freshman year was huge,” said Hickey, in reflecting on her PNRA/ Mercer career. “I was the youngest one in the boat; that was probably like the first big race that I was in. It was a big deal.” A big factor in Hickey’s growth as a rower was the influence of former PNRA/ Mercer coach Ted Sobelewski, now the associate head coach of the Northeastern Universit y men’s row ing program. “I don’t think I would still be rowing if it weren’t for Ted,” said Hickey. “He came in my freshman year so I didn’t know anything else. He taught us how to work hard; for me that is what varsity rowing was. He pretty much set the standard on the first day, he told us how fast we needed to be, told us how to get there, and supported us through that whole process.” For Hickey, the college recruiting process largely centered on Stanford. “I went to the Stanford rowing camp the summer before my junior year; that was the first time I had ever been out there,” said Hickey. “I fell in love with California and the campus. Stanford was pretty much always my first choice. I visited some other schools but Stanford was always at the top of my list. I was pretty sure I wanted to row for a lightweight program and Stanford has been really successful. I went to visit the school and the team was great.” Being successful in her freshman year at Stanford required Hickey to perform a tricky juggling act. “I was balancing the rowing with the hardest course load

lot of fuel for the rest of our training.” He ad ing into t he I R A championship regatta at Lake Natoma in the Sacramento, Calif. area, Hickey believed that hard training would pay dividends. “We knew that we had trained really, really hard and I didn’t think there was any doubt that we did everything we could to be at our top speed at the IRAs,” said Hickey. “We realized that there is obviously a huge target on our back going into that. BU beat us once so I am sure they were going to try to do it again. We went in confident in our training but definitely on our toes because we knew someone could step up and give us a race.” Advancing into the grand final, Stanford saved its best for last, producing a dominant effort in winning the national title, clocking a winning time of 6:25.396 over the 2,000-meter course with Boston University plac-

FROZEN YOGURT

Kate Hickey was having the time of her life coming into this spring. T h e for m er P r i n ce ton National Rowing Association Mercer Rowing Club ( PNR A / Mercer) standout was rowing on the top varsity women’s lightweight 8 at Stanford University, her dream school. But then something weird started happening during her training. “I would have a really elevated heart rate during practice, it was 280 beats per minute,” said Hickey, a native of Yardley, Pa. and a Notre Dame High grad. It turned out that Hickey was experiencing a recurrence of an arrhy thmia, c a l l e d s u p r av e n t r i c u l a r tachycardia or SVT, that had afflicted her during high school. She had a procedure where catheters are used to transmit electrical energy to the target area, causing scarring to help alleviate the condition. “It was actually only two we ek s re cover y p er io d ; that was the really amazing part,” said Hickey. “I took two weeks off and then I got back into rowing.” Upon retur ning to the water, Hickey resumed her dream season, helping the Cardinal win its third straight Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) national title. “It is incredible, this whole season has been really amazing,” said Hickey. “I could not have asked for a better season.” Hickey has enjoyed an amazing ride since taking up rowing when she attended the PNRA/Mercer novice camp in the summer before starting eighth grade. By the time she was a high school freshman, Hickey had made the club’s lightweight varsity 8.

boat put additional pressure on Hickey. “It was a little bit intimidating at first, I was really, really nervous, but as the season went on, it made it easier to have three other freshmen in the boat,” said Hickey. “Since we made up such a large part of that boat, we felt pretty comfortable there. Our upperclassmen had been nothing but supportive the whole season so that helped too.” Coming home to race in the Knecht Cup on Mercer Lake in early April to start the spring season proved to be a mixed blessing. While Hickey was happy to be on friendly waters, Stanford split its two races on the day, winning the lightweight race but later coming in third in the varsity 8 behind the Boston University lightweight boat it had beaten earlier. “That was probably the low point of our season; it was the only race we didn’t win this season,” said Hickey. “I think that provided a

Undeterred By Rainy Weather at PASDA Meet, CP Bluefish Storm to Dominant Win in Division 1 It was raining on and off throughout the Princeton Area Swimming and Diving Association (PASDA) championship meet last week, but that didn’t dampen the parade of victories for the host Community Park Bluefish. Thriving in their home pool over the two-day meet, the Bluefish dominated the competition in PASDA Division 1, piling up 3,746 points to finish first of six teams with r unner-up L aw rencev ille Swim Association finishing more than 1,500 points behind as it tallied 2,215.50. CP head coach Mike Uchrin was proud of how his swimmers toughed it out through the inclement weather. “It was cold and rainy but they came out and they were troopers,” said Uchrin, whose team had gone 5-0 in dual meets over the PASDA regular season. “They did their best at championships. That was the best we have done all season so it was an exciting meet.” With 240 swimmers in the Bluefish program, Uchrin has the resources to do some exciting things. “You take a look at the relays, that is where you can really see the depth,” said Uchrin. “The kids are going out and swimming for each other and doing the best they can. We had several relays in the top three or four spots. That is great representation for the team as a whole and it helps a lot as far as scoring well at championships.” The Bluefish got some great work at 8-and-under girls from Zoe Bitterman

and Caden Martin. Bitterman took first in the 25-yard butterfly and individual medley while Martin was winner of the 25 freestyle and runnerup in both the 25 backstroke and IM. “Zoe Bitterman was given the MVP award for PASDA in that age group because she won the medley and the fly,” said Uchrin. “She started the season hurt too; she had hurt her hand and missed the first part of the season. She was really raring to get back on the pool and she had a great meet. Caden Martin also did awesome, she won the free and was second in the IM and back.” T h e te a m’s g r o u p of 10-and-under girls also produced some great results. “The 10-and-under girls were probably one of our deepest groups led by Sabine Ristad there, she was the other one that won MVP for us,” said Uchrin. “There were also a number of girls who did fantastic in the 10-and-under group, like Luna Bar-Cohen, a longtime Bluefish, Audrey Wilhelm, Charlotte Quick, and Scarlett Angelone, just to name a few. You could probably do a whole story on our 10-andunder girls, they were a great group this whole season.” The 12-and-under girls had a fantastic summer in their own right. “The 11/12 girls were exceptional as well,” asserted Uchrin. “Abby Walden, Alexandra Cherry, Katie DiVenti, Courtney Weber, and Emily Smith all did well. If you look at how they did in that 200

free relay, for example, they won that event by almost 15 seconds. Behind them we took second in that with Piper Dubow, Stella Miner, Kyleigh Tangen, and Courtney Weber. When those 11 and 12 year old girls would come in, that is when our team really started to show off our strength.” The pair of Susannah Tuder and Ella Caddeau led the way for the 14-and-under girls. Tuder won the 50 free and placed third in the 50 breast while Caddeau took second in the 50 fly and third in both the 100 IM and 50 back. “Both of those girls were the anchors all season long,” said Uchrin, referring to Tuder and Caddeau. “Behind that group, we had a number of great girls who were working alongside with them in the relay spots and other individual events as well.” S erena Shar ples s and Cameron Davis anchored t he 18 - and - u nder g irls. Sharpless won the 50 free and was fourth in the 50 fly while Davis placed third in the 50 back and fifth in the 100 IM. “Serena and Cammie are another two who are longtime Bluefish vets, they came out and swam hard,” said Uchrin. “It was really exciting to see those girls win the free relay, especially because Maddie Schwimmer was in her last race. She is graduating and going off to swimming in college. To have her last race be a win in that relay; I know the girls were really excited about that.”

Last week, Hong helped the host Bluefish produce a dominant performance at the Princeton Area Swimming and Diving Association (PASDA) championship meet. CP rolled to the PASDA Division 1 title, piling up 3,746 points to finish first of six teams with runner-up Lawrenceville Swim Association finishing more than 1,500 points behind as it tallied 2,215.50. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Uchrin was excited about the work he got from his younger boys swimmers. In the 6-and-under division, Shavran Joshi took second in the 25 free and third in the 25 back while Logan Hong was first in the 25 back and third in the 25 free. In the 8-and-under group, Darren Elwood placed first in the 25 back and fourth in the 25 free. “We had some great swims, Logan Hong and Joshi did a great job for us,” said Uchrin. “Darren Elwood won the backstroke for the 8-and-under boys. We had great depth there with the younger boys and they were able to show their strength in the relays and a lot of the individual events.” Kent Hong, David Brophy, and Arjen Fuller helped make the 10-and-under boys a strong group for the Bluefish. Hong placed second in the 25 breast, Brophy finished second in the 25 fly, and Fuller took fourth in the 25 back. “There are a lot of teams that struggle with getting boys; we actually had more boys than girls on our team for the first time in a long time,” said Uchrin. “I was really excited to see that because the sport in general is more popular with girls but we have been able to have a great group of boys. They came together, they had a blast, and they were having a lot of fun.” Julian Velazquez and Paul La Cava had fun at the PASDA meet in the 12-and-under group. Velazquez won the 100 IM and placed second in the 50 fly while LaCava finished fourth in both the 100 IM and 50 back. Those two were also part of the winning 200 free relay and 200 medley relay teams. Matthew Baglio and Luke Cura joined them on the free relay while Baglio and Richie Catalina competed on the medley relay. “They were another really strong group with Paul, Matt, Julian, and Luke,” added Uchrin. In the 14-and-under group, Jason Kratzer and Owen Tennant led the way. Kratzer placed second in the 50 fly and the 50 free while Tennant won the 50 back and took second in the 100 IM. “Jason Kratzer is another longtime Bluefish, his older brother Stephen had coached for us; the Kratzers are a longtime Bluefish family,” said Uchrin. “Owen was huge for us in that age group all year

long. He won the 50 back by a pretty healthy margin; he deserves credit for really holding his own.” A quartet of stars, Calvin Ristad, Philip LaCava, Charles Yandrisevits, and Dylan Torrance held their own in the 18-and-under boys’ division. Ristad took fourth in the 50 breast, LaCava was sixth in the 50 fly, Yandrisevits placed fourth in both the 50 free and the 100 IM, and Torrance was third in the 100 IM. “We actually have great depth at the 15-and-over boys,” said Uchrin. “I worked with that group personally; a lot of teams struggle to keep those boys committed all the way to that level. We definitely had the strongest showing across PASDA as far as boys that were coming out and swimming hard. It showed in the relays and the individual events.” The ongoing commitment from the families and community has made the Bluefish a model program. “I think we have had great continued success over the years, this year being no exception,” said Uchrin. “What I attribute it to is having great support from the community and our families. We have the best families and this is the best community for swimming, there is no doubt

BOARDING TRAINING LESSONS SALES

in my mind about that.” A key component in the team’s success is its corps of assistant coaches, who are typically current or former Bluefish swimmers. “We have the best coaching staff,” said Uchrin. “It is not just about pushing them to try to have the best times and places. The coaches understand that the focus needs to be on having fun, fostering a love for the sport and then getting the kids to do their very best. Our coaches work directly with the families for each of their age groups so we are able to have that close-knit community and not have that lost with being a larger team.” That close-knit feeling helps the swimmers reach their potential. “The kids come together from different swim backgrounds, it doesn’t matter if you are a year-round swimmer or a club swimmer,” said Uchrin. “For a lot of kids, this is their very first experience in swimming. At Community Park, I feel like we have created an environment where they can develop love for the sport, have fun with their friends, go out, and do their best. The success is really a by-product of all the fun and the hard work that they put together.” —Bill Alden

Even though the Packer Hall All-Stars fell behind Majesk i Fou ndat ion 9 - 0 early in game two of the best-of-three championships series in the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League last Wednesday, Khalid Lewis and his teammates weren’t fazed. “That has been an issue all season; we always start out slow,” said star guard Lewis. “It was just getting everybody to come together.” Having gone 2-6 in regular season play and coming into the playoffs seeded seventh, Packer Hall developed an ability to finish strong. The squad upset secondseeded LoyalTees 58-51 in the quarterfinals and then edged NJAC 39-38 in overtime in the semis to earn a spot in the championship series against top-seeded and defending champion Majeski Foundation, The College of New Jersey men’s hoops entry in the league. Continuing its unlikely run, Packer Hall edged previously undefeated

Majeski 30-29 in game one of the title series. In the second game of the series, Packer Hall started digging out of the early hole at t he Com mu n it y Park courts with three free throws from Reggie Coleman and then clamped down on Majeski to narrow the gap to 26-22 by halftime. “They came out hot, hitting a couple of shots backto-back,” said Lewis, in assessing the rally. “Defense has been our staple all year; that is what we stepped up and brought.” During the second half, Packer Hall fell behind 3830 but stepped up down the stretch, taking the lead at 40-39 on a Coleman threepointer and never looked back on the way to a 46-43 win and the title. “Our games have been close all year,” noted Lewis, reflecting on a season which saw Packer Hall post a final record of 6-6 with Majeski dropping to 10-2. “As long as we are in the game, we know we have a chance.”

In the view of Lewis, the big bu cke t by C olema n proved to be a pivotal moment for Packer Hall. “We needed that lit tle spark; I think that was the spark that turned the game around,” asserted Lewis, who hit t wo clutch free throws in the waning seconds of the game to help Packer Hall stay on top and ended up with 11 points on the evening. “We played from behind pretty much the whole game. That three that Reggie made put us on top and we tried to stay on top.” Lewis looked to be the spark plug for Packer Hall and his leadership and produc t ion was recog n i ze d when he was named as the winner of the Foreal Wooten Playoff MVP Award. “I try to keep everybody on the same page and take care of the ball,” said the 6’3, 185-pound Lewis, a former star at Trenton Catholic Academy who went on to play college ball at Delaware, LaSalle, and University of Illinois. “W hen I see someone laying off, I just reel them back in. We have got a lot of young guys on our team. When things get tight, I try to have everybody settle down and keep everybody together.” By coming together when it counted most, Packer Hall produced one of the most unlikely title runs in the 29year history of the summer league. “I know nobody expected it,” said Lewis, noting that his father, Khaliq, had played and won titles in the summer league. “I think it was like the third or fourth game that I got on the team and we hadn’t won a game and then we went 2-3 rest of the season. Everybody rallied together in the playoffs and played their role. We stepped up and got it done.” —Bill Alden

So when Brackett’s Packer Hall All-Stars faced the Majeski Foundation, comprised of the TCNJ men’s hoops team, in the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League best-of-three championship series last week, it was like going against his younger brothers. “It was awesome, they are a great group of guys,” said the 6’4, 225-pound Brackett, a 2016 TCNJ grad who was the manager of the Packer Hall squad along with providing some muscle in the frontcourt. “They are tough on the court so I wanted to play tough back. It looked like we are getting after it with each other but it is all love after the game. It was a great time.” Packer Hall, which also included two other TCNJ alums, Kevin Johnson and Sean Kelly, didn’t seem to have a great chance to make it to the championship series against top-seeded and defending champion Majeski, having gone 2-6 in regular season and getting seeded seventh for the playoffs. “We had a rough couple of games and then we got to add Khalid Lewis and Reggie Coleman; they were big for us,” said Brackett. “They played together in high school. I have known them for a while and their competitive nature. We don’t want to lose and then we went on a run in the playoffs.” The run ended in a blaze of glory as Packer Hall upset Majeski 30-29 in game one and then came back last Wednesday to post a 46-43 win to earn the title.

final display of resilience, overcoming a 38-30 deficit with seven minutes left in regulation to pull out the win and earn the title. In Brackett’s view, the team’s blend of desire and chemistry fueled the late rally. “We said we don’t want to come back on Friday, you could just tell by our defense, we really wanted it,” said Brackett. “For the most part, we all knew each other. So the camaraderie that we had and the fact that we love basketball made us want to get after it.” After a rocky start this summer, Packer Hall knew

that it had to get more intense on the court. “Corey Thomas and I talked in the beginning of the year when we were 0-3, and we said we have got to get tough, we have got to want this,” recalled Brackett. “Yeah it is a su m mer league but we have got pride and it was a big pride thing.” In reflecting on the unlikely title run, which left Packer Hall with a final record of 6-6, Brackett showed his pride in what the squad accomplished this summer. “This is great; as an underdog, it is big,” said a smiling Brackett. “We were a seven seed and no one expected us to do this; everyone is surprised that we won this. I love it.” —Bill Alden

Gabriel Michael Pilenza Gabriel Michael Pilenza, 92, passed away at Park Place Center in Monmouth Junction on Saturday, July 29, 2017. Born in Trenton, he resided in Princeton for most of his life. A very talented self-taught chef, Mike owned and operated the Grotto Restaurant, on Witherspoon Street in Princeton, for over 35 years. Mike was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy as a Seaman First Class after ser ving from 1943 to 1945 on the USS Helm and USS Vincennes. After leaving the service, he remained very active in Navy reunions, kept in contact with his shipmates through the years and attended the 50 th anniversary ceremonies at Pearl Harbor. His leisure time was devote d to sp end ing t ime with family and friends and travel. He was predeceased by his parents Leonardo and Maria Pilenza; wife Vera Pilenza; brother Leonard Pilenza ; and sisters and brothers-in-law Helen and

Harold Martin Bermingham Born the third of six children to William Christopher Bermingham and Mary Magdalene Fiedler on July 8, 1934 in Champaign County Illinois, this midwestern farm boy travelled far and loved much in his 83 years. He fought Parkinson’s disease long and hard for 20 years, and finally lost the battle with this insidious disease on July 31, 2017. After graduating from Rantoul High School, he served

at the end of the Korean war in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. Coming home at last, he and his brother first installed indoor plumbing in his parents farmhouse. He then married his sweetheart from a nearby town of Ivesdale (pop 250), Rita Ann Flavin, on September 7, 1959. Using the GI bill to pay his tuition he forged through University of Illinois to get his degree in mechanical engineering; the first of his family to do so. Their only daughter Patti arrived in December 1960. He chose Illinois Bell as his career path; they rotated him through AT&T in New York for experience which involved moving seven times back and forth and within Illinois. Along the way he picked up a master’s degree from Northwestern University. He took up running before jogging was a known form of exercise; covering thousands and thousands of miles. It was his great honor to bear the Olympic Torch five miles as it was carried across the country to Los Angeles in 1983. He and Rita travelled far and wide visiting every state except Alaska, and covering most of Europe as well. In 1987, he retired from AT&T during a company reorganization. He found his new career in community involvement. He ran Morris Plains recycling center, became head usher at St. Virgils, and grand knight in the Knights of Columbus. He also found another career as grandpa to six grandchildren, whom he frequently transported home from school and to every imaginable activity, staying involved. After the devastating loss of his wife of 52 years in 2011, the Parkinsons really began to take its toll, and in 2012 he moved to Acorn Glen Assisted Living in Princeton. Here he has been much loved “Mr. Hal” in yet another career for him, for indeed he never stopped working.

He is survived by his daughter Patti, her husband Robert Maslanka, and grandchildren Christopher, Mark, Jeffrey, Rebecca, Carolyn, and Sara, as well as two brothers Daniel and Paul. He joins his wife Rita, and sisters Lucy and Josephine, and brother William in the eternal web of love that awaits us all. We will miss you Grandpa! Family and friends are welcome to gather on Thursday, August 3, 2017 from 4-7 p.m. at Dangler Funeral Home, 600 Speedwell Avenue, Morris Plains, NJ. A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, August 4, 2017 at 10 a.m. at St. Virgil’s Church, 250 Speedwell Avenue, Morris Plains, NJ. Interment will be at Princeton Cemetery, Princeton.

John P. Belli, Sr. John P. “Jack” Belli, Sr., 92 passed away on July 30, 2017 at home surrounded by his loving family. Born and raised in Trenton, Mr. Belli later lived in Lawrenceville, Pennington, and Jupiter, Fla. He was retired, having spent 40 years as a co-owner of the Belli Company, a construction firm founded by his father, Simon Belli, in 1920.

Subse-

quently, the sons constructed St. Francis Hospital, the 11 building campus of Mercer Community College, the Labor and Industry Building, the New Jersey State Museum Cultural Complex, West Windsor High School South, as well as projects at Princeton University and the Lawrenceville School. A veteran of World War II, having served in the Army Corps of Engineers in Germany and the Philippines, Mr. Belli graduated from The Lawrenceville School and the University of Pennsylvania with BA and a master’s degree in architecture. He was a Trustee of Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, the New Jersey State Museum, Mercer County Community College, and Martin House. He served as president of the Fathers Association of The Lawrenceville School. Son of the late Simon and Teresa De Vido Belli of Trenton, and the brother of the late Simon H. Belli of Lawrenceville, he is survived by his wife, Maude Meehan Belli and three sons: John P. Jr. and Adrienne of Pennington; Noel G. and Kathleen Belli of Wyckoff, N.J.; Mark C. and Barbara of Jupiter, Fla.; and two daughters: Marjorie Eno of South Freeport, Me; and Anne-Marie Belli of New York City; as well as seven grandchildren: John P. III and Drew Belli of Pennington; Megan, Michael and Suzanne Belli of Wyckoff, N.J.; Amos and Angus Eno of South Freeport, Me.

Spending your weekends attending open houses - especially if you’re not ready to buy yet - may sound like time wasted. But guess what? It can actually make you a better buyer. Here’s why:

•

Figure out what you can afford. Going to open houses lets you see what’s really out there and at what price. It’s a great way to see if your budget is on track for the type of house (and the neighborhood) you want.

•

Reevaluate your “must-haves” and your “needs.” Likewise, seeing homes in person helps you refine your list to suit your budget.

•

Get a feel for the neighborhood. Scoping out a neighborhood over time gives you a much better idea of where you’ll be living - and if it’s the right neighborhood for you.

•

Hit the ground running. All this prep work means you’ll be ready to pounce when you find your dream home, putting you way in front of your competition.

Overall, there’s nothing to lose by going to open houses, and potentially a lot to gain. Who knows? There might even be free cookies.
