Residents Urged to Attend Meeting on Valley Road Work As part of the municipality’s capital improvement program, Valley Road, between Witherspoon and North Harrison streets, will undergo planned improvements in 2016. The work will be partially funded by a New Jersey Department of Transportation municipal aid grant. Mayor Liz Lempert will chair a discussion of Valley Road in the context of Princeton’s Complete Streets Policy, adopted in 2013, and the town’s master plan, in the Community Room at Witherspoon Hall Tuesday, May 12, at 7 p.m. The meeting is designed to elicit responses and ideas from local residents. Princeton Engineer Robert Kiser along with representatives from the Police Department and numerous municipal boards, committees, and advisory groups have been invited to share information and insights regarding the roadway and their vision for future improvements. “We are hoping for feedback as to how the road is functioning and to find out what residents would like to see and what they think needs improving,” said Assistant Engineer Deanna Stockton Monday. The meeting will take the form of a collaborative work-session with engineers and members of such groups as the Princeton Sewer Operating Committee, Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee, and Traffic and Transportation Committee. Topics to be discussed include repairs to storm sewers, sanitary sewer main and laterals, new curbing repair of sidewalks and/or replacement with blacktop pathways. The municipality will be imposing a five-year moratorium on any street openings once the work is completed. Currently classified as a minor collector roadway, Valley Road has a 25-mph speed limit and a five-ton weight restriction. It is estimated that approximately 6,000 vehicles per day use the road, which is part of the route of the Princeton FreeB. There are sidewalks along both sides of the road except for the northern side of Valley between Witherspoon and Jefferson. School crossing guards staff the Valley Road intersections with Walnut Lane and Witherspoon Street for elementary and middle school student crossings and excluding the North Harrison Street and Witherspoon Street intersections, 50 Continued on Page 12

District / Teacher Talks Break Down

After months of contract negotiations between the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) and the teachers’s union, Princeton Regional Education Association (PREA), both sides failed to reach a long-hoped for agreement Monday night. Talks broke down after almost five hours in which the two sides met faceto-face without the help of state mediator Kathleen Vogt. Princeton’s public school teachers have been working under an expired contract since July 1, 2014. Ms. Vogt was called last fall after negotiations reached an impasse. PREA members walked out of an October 2 meeting. If no agreement can be made in mediation, the next stage of negotiations would call for a fact finder. The expertise of Ms. Vogt, who helped the district and the union deliver the 2011-14 contract, has been provided at no cost to the district or to the union. A fact finder, however, could cost approximately $1,500 per day. At the BOE’s monthly meeting in February, Board President Andrea Spalla pointed out that the fact-finding process could take anywhere between six and twelve months and the daily cost would be split

between the district and PREA. Negotiations have stalled repeatedly over the issues of health care costs, and after Monday’s meeting, chair of the PREA Negotiations Team John J. Baxter said in a statement to Town Topics: “The Board came into the session with a counter proposal that was essentially unchanged from April 15. They made clear that they would not negotiate Tier 4 premium contributions. “Ultimately, they [the BOE] came back

with a ‘framework’ that appeared to require further devaluation of salaries, for some, and created substantial inequities for many. They were unable to provide specifics or reasonable explanations of the numbers. Nevertheless, they insisted that we come up with a counter proposal,” said Mr. Baxter. “We explained that we would not respond to a ‘conceptual framework’ the implementation of which raised serious questions even they could Continued on Page 4

Library Seeks to Raise $1.7 Million For Second Floor Redesign, Upgrade Princeton Public Library is seeking to raise some $1.7 million for a redesign of the second floor that is estimated to cost approximately $2.9 million. At last month’s meeting of the Board of Trustees, Executive Director Leslie Burger said that while some of this money is already in hand, along with a pledge of a $750,000 matching challenge grant, the Library would need to raise some $1.7 million in the coming months for the project to get started.

“We need to raise the money before the project can begin and we hope to do it through private donations,” said Ms. Burger. “We have a proven track record in raising private funds to supplement public support.” The renovation is thought to be necessary because of the changing needs of the library’s more than 2,200 daily users. “When the Princeton Public Library Continued on Page 12

AN EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES: With Princeton blooming in the season of its glory, the riches are everywhere, and nowhere more bountifully than at the fourth annual Morven in May Celebration of Art, Craft, and Garden at Morven Museum & Garden, where festivities included an heirloom plant sale with perennials and annuals ready to plant.

A Mother’s Letter

My Dearest Family, I want to thank all of you for the lovely time shared at the Cranbury Inn Restaurant on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2015. Your choice of such a beautiful Inn with its early American charm and ambiance, located in historic Cranbury was perfect! All of our food was beautifully presented and the service was excellent. I personally have never had such a wonderful Champagne Brunch (10am-2pm). I later heard from Aunt Alice that the Inn’s special Dinner Buffet (started 2:30 pm) was superb. The staff and management as usual were attentive to our every need. This day will always be remembered. Thank you again for your love! Love, Mom 609-655-5595 21 South Main Street • Cranbury, NJ

WHY DID THE WOOD FROG CROSS THE ROAD?: To get to the temporary vernal pools where their life began. The call of spring brought the tiny creatures out of hibernation and on their journey to the vernal pools in the Sourlands. Shown here in the hands of a nature enthusiast on a Sourlands Conservancy hike, the eggs were observed by visitors after the amphibians had been helped to reach the pools last month. Each black speck surrounded by a glob of a protective jelly will likely hatch into a wood frog in about four to six weeks. (Photo by Caroline Katmann)

Because there are no fish in these pools, they provide a safe spot for numerous species of amphibians newly emerged from hibernation to mate and lay their eggs. But because the pools and the places where the amphibians emerge are in many instances divided by a road, a little human help is needed to make sure creatures such as spring peepers that are less than an inch long successfully reach their destination.

push or carry the amphibians across the road. As if to reward their efforts, the volunteers were treated to a spring chorus of wood frogs and peepers that had successfully reached the breeding pools to ensure another generation of their species. Not every egg will produce an adult, however; many will be eaten as part of the food chain. According to Ms. Rogers, a large amphibian population is necessary to maintain the region’s ecosystem. Adult amphibians are meateaters ; they control the

numbers of slugs, worms, even small mammals, such as mice. In turn, the amphibians are eaten by snakes, foxes, dogs, fish, hawks, and other birds. Last month, a recent hike to the same location by 15 participants in the Sourland Conservancy’s vernal pool walk discovered masses of shimmering flecks of gold that are the eggs of pickerel frogs, as well as wood frog eggs and spotted salamander eggs. During the walk, which was led by Ms. Rogers, participants got to check out the results of the previous month’s amphibian crossing efforts. “Easily mistaken for lifeless bodies of water containing nothing but twigs and leaves these vernal pools are teeming with life,” said Ms. Katmann, whose personal favorite is the spotted salamander. “Seeing one was the highlight of my life; they look like they should be in the tropics.” Free, guided hikes are a part of the Conservancy’s stewardship program. Since 1986, the Sourland Conservancy has worked to protect the ecological integrity, historic resources and special character of the Sourland Mountain region. Upcoming “Sourland Stewards Hikes,” which are limited to just 15 participants, will take place Saturday, May 16, from 9 a.m. to noon, led by Jim Amon, Sourland Conservancy Trustee and former director of Stewardship for the D &R Greenway Land Trust; and Saturday May 30, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., led by Dave Harper, former president of the Geological Association of New Jersey. For more information, including other Sourland Conservancy-sponsored hikes, visit www.sourlandorg/stewardship. To help with the project next year, contact lcleveland@sourland.org or jrogers@mercercounty.org. I n add it ion, t he D & R Greenway Land Trust is offering a guided tour of the Rockhopper Trail in West Amwell Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. Led by former D&R Greenway trustee and trail crew leader Alan Hershey, the walk is free, but space is limited and early registrations is advised.

Question of the Week:

“What are your plans for the summer?” (Asked on the Princeton University campus)

“My plans are to go back home and just kind of soak up the weather and just hang out with my family. I have not been back down there in a while. I’m also going to look for a summer job, so that’s very exciting.” —Jahdziah St. Julien, Class of 2018, Margate, Florida

“I don’t start work until August 21. I’m going to be traveling before then with my friends through Eastern Europe and Asia. I’m most looking forward to the time we’re planning on spending in Croatia and then also in Thailand. When I was younger I was fortunate enough to travel to Europe with my family. We traveled primarily through parts of England and France. So I’m looking forward to being somewhere I’ve never been before.” —Jiayan Yu, Class of 2015, Tenafly, N.J.

“This summer I’m going to Princeton in Spain. It’s a PU program where students get to study Spanish and also immerse themselves with the culture. I’m going to be there from May 30 to June 27. Then when I return, I’m going to spend time at home with family and get prepared for school next fall.” —Edgar Preciado, Class of 2018, Compton, California

I’ve done a lot of reading on these places and it’s going to be great to experience them in person.” Jonathan: “I’m working in a research lab here on campus. I will be here for a large part of the summer.” —Robert Marshall (L) 2018, Tennessee, and Jonathan Kazdin, New York City, both Class of 2018

From the corner of Witherspoon and Wiggins streets, Princeton Cemetery doesn’t look especially imposing. But the historic burial ground, which is owned by Nassau Presbyterian Church, stretches back to encompass nearly 19 acres. Some 25,000 interment spaces lie within its borders. A project that will help indicate just who lies where in the 258-year-old cemetery is currently being developed by a team from the church, which is a few blocks away on Nassau Street. With the aid of old records, interment cards, military records, the daily log book, monthly financial reports, and even groundpenetrating radar, the workers are trying to clarify the history of the cemetery. At the same time, the church is being business-savvy by confirming how many graves are still available for sale. “It’s a 19-acre jigsaw puzzle,” said Allen Olsen, who is managing the project, which will digitize cemetery maps and records. Mr. Olsen began the project two years ago and is working on it full-time with two part-time assistants. He estimates completion to be at least four years away. Linda Gilmore, the church’s business administrator, has also been closely involved. “Obviously, from a business model, if we’ve still got space we can sell it,” she said. “But it’s much more than that. The end result of this will be a resource that has meaning for the community. It’s a historical resource we want to pre-

serve. It’s exciting that we’re making it easier for people to find information not only about famous people buried there like Grover Cleveland or Aaron Burr, but regular people, too.” Graves of the famous at Princeton Cemetery have long been a source of curiosity and a tourist attraction. Prominent on the list, along with Cleveland and Burr, are mathematician Kurt Godel, Paris bookshop owner Sylvia Beach, diplomat George Kennan, Nobel-Prize-winning physicist Eugene Paul Wigner, Declaration of Independence signer John Witherspoon, and the murdered parents of the Menendez brothers. It is also the final resting place of lesser-known local residents, of all faiths. One of the common misconceptions about the cemetery is that it is only for those affiliated with the church. Another is that it’s sold out. “There are hundreds of graves still available,” Mr. Olsen said. “We’re discovering some now that we wouldn’t have known about before doing this research.” Many believe mistakenly that the cemetery includes several signers of the Declaration of Independence (there is only one), that Albert Einstein is buried there (he isn’t, but his daughter is), and that it’s segregated. “There was segregation in the 1800s, but no longer,” Mr. Olsen said. “Anyone can buy anywhere. It’s totally open to the community.” Records have always been kept by the cemetery work-

ers. But when the church purchased a database and began doing the bookkeeping, staff members realized that a lot of work needed to be done. “It became clear that this wasn’t something we could do quickly,” said Ms. Gilmore. A mapping component was purchased, and Mr. Olsen began working geographically, section by section, starting with the newer sections. He and his assistants begin by inspecting each plot and creating a paper map. They check the soil to see if there may be a burial from before 1957, when burial vaults were required. They photograph all of the headstones. “We come back and we check the records we have,” he said. “We also check interment cards and ownership cards. Depending on the time periods, records were or were not kept well. We compare them with the cemetery log book. We also look at monthly financial reports. So we begin to compare things. And we cross-check everything to make sure we’re getting an accurate picture.” Written records have been found in the archives of Princeton Seminary as well as in the church’s financial reports. An old file cabinet in the church basement has provided some clues, as has a cabinet full of letters. One discovery was a letter written

Digitizing Princeton Cemetery Is “A 19-Acre Jigsaw Puzzle”

UNCOVERING THE PAST TO DIGITIZE THE FUTURE: Nassau Presbyterian Church’s project to document and digitize records from Princeton Cemetery has turned up such gems as this letter from Edith Bolling Wilson, wife of Woodrow Wilson, about the family’s cemetery plot. by the wife of Woodrow Wilson about the family’s cemetery plot (see photo). “You never know what you’ll find,” said Ms. Gilmore. “Sometimes we get information from people who come here to do research on their families. And there are so many stories. One card said ‘baby buried by the fence.’ Where by the fence? I want to know the story behind that. It’s just fascinating.” After bringing in a compa-

ny to do ground-penetrating radar, the team found 100 unmarked graves. They have also done rubbings and consulted the website Ancestry. com, and the Social Security death index, among other resources. “One of our challenges is: When is enough?,” said Mr. Olsen. “You could go on and on. We’re not doing the family geneaology for 25,000 interment spaces.” Mr. Olsen has spoken about the project to audiences at

The Nassau Inn and elsewhere in town. The fact that the work won’t be finished for at least another four years is accepted and understood. “When I told one of the members of our committee on this project that after a year, we only had about 15 percent finished, he said it was okay,” Mr. Olsen said. “He said we have a moral and ethical obligation to do this, and to do it right.” —Anne Levin

three years. It was recommended that this money be raised over three years with $425,000 used for the upcoming school year and the balance of $1.3 million banked for future needs in 2016 and 2017. In his presentation to the Board, Superintendent Steve Cochrane noted that enrollment grew by 120 students in the current school year and that enrollment is expected to increase by some 100 additional students in the next school year; 70 of them at the high school. A further increase of some 90 students is anticipated the following school year. The extent to which these numbers may be affected by the 280-unit AvalonBay development at the former Princeton Hospital site is not yet known. The 2015-16 budget includes provision for more teachers, chiefly at Princeton High School, as well as technology and textbooks. Questioning the Timeline D u r i ng t he m e e t i ng’s public comment session, one member of the public raised an issue that has come up at previous Board meetings. She questioned the efficacy of having the final vote on the budget during the same meeting at which a public hearing on the budget takes place. “Are you going to revise the budget as we sit here?” the Board was asked. In response, Board President Andrea Spalla said: “That’s entirely possible.” The Board was urged to consider adjusting the calendar to allow more time for public comment. It was suggested that this might be advantageous to the Board, which would then have more time to contemplate public comment before it votes. Retirees At Monday’s meeting, the Board recognized a number of retirees including 25-year veterans Betsy Gilbert and Mary McNamara. Ms. Gilbert is executive secretary-curriculum and inst r uct ion. Ms. McNamara teaches English at John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS). Both will retire as of July 1. On that date, JWMS Assistant Principal Harvey Highland will also retire after 14 years of service, and JWMS mathematics teacher Valerie Newhall, after 15 years of service. The district’s Student Services-Assistance Comptroller, Faith Rich, will retire after 30 years of service. The next meeting of the Board of Education will be at John Witherspoon Middle School, Tuesday, May 26, at 8 p.m. —Linda Arntzenius

Ma k ing mu n icipalit ies bike-friendly, sustainable, and safe were among the priorities stressed by Mercer Count y mayors who participated in the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Regional Mayoral Roundtable breakfast meeting Tuesday. At Springdale Golf Club, Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert joined the mayors of West Windsor, East Windsor, Hopewell Borough, Hopewell Township, and the borough administrator of Pennington, to talk about the issues that face their individual municipalities as well as those that have a collective impact. In addition to transportation and economic growth, the mayors touched on residential and business development, open space, and several other topics. In her opening statement, Ms. Lempert cited parking as a current focus in Princeton, specifically the recent decision to upgrade failing technology in the Spring Street Garage. She also spoke of the need to harmonize parking ordinances that existed in the former Borough and Tow nship. Hopewell Township Mayor Harvey Lester talked about improvements being made to the notoriously clogged Pennington Circle at Route 31. “About half of the accidents in the area occur in the vicinity of the circle,” he said. “The state has begun work and is putting traffic signals north and south of the circle.” Hopewell Borough Mayor Paul Anzano has the enviable task of maintaining a healthy status quo. “The issue for me is how do you keep a good thing going?,” he said, adding that the town has no vacant storefronts and its economy is strong. The mayors were asked to comment on the $70 million revenue shortfall that is being faced by the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund, which has said it will run out of money for new projects on July 1 unless a new source of revenue is found. “It’s not that the fund is going broke,” said Mr. Lester. “They are not disbanding the tolls. The problem is that every dime that is paid to the tolls by the end of the year is going to pay off debt. Bridges need to be built and there is no available money at the moment, or will not be any available money once the year rolls around, which is why the legislature and governor have to get together and solve the problem.” Ms. Lempert said she is “extremely worried” about NJ Transit’s shortage of funds and its plan to raise fares and phase out some important bus routes. “We have to go back to basics and say, ‘What are our priorities?’ and make sure the money is there to provide a way for people to get around.” Asked specifically about the relationship between Princeton University and the town, Ms. Lempert said it has improved since Christopher L. Eisgruber became the University’s president in

2013 and began attending Council meetings once a year. “It behooves us both to have a good relationship,” she said. “This has been one of the better periods of communication.” Mentioning the University’s new campus plan, Ms. Lempert said one challenge is to create an environment where the school can grow without sacrificing the character of the town. She is heartened by the interest in local politics among University students. “I’ve been contacted by so many student groups,” she said. “This is a new era. They really want to be engaged at the municipal level.” East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov said improvements to the New Jersey Turnpike have improved access to the area, which does not have a designated downtown. Sidewalks that have been built along busy Route 130 have also helped “establish more linkages,” she said. “There are new restaurants. Everything is filling in in the shopping centers.”

Asked what initiatives they might have on their wish lists, more than one of the mayors cited making their towns friendlier to bikers and walkers. West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh said he looks forward to completing the final portion of a project to connect bike trails between the town’s Community Park and Mercer County Park. He also said West Windsor will repave Alexander Road between Canal Road and the Route One bridge, a project that has been on hold while new commuter parking spaces were installed at Princeton Junction train station. Ms. Mironov said East Windsor has built several trails and pathways through t he tow nsh ip i n recent years. “One of the projects we are in the midst of working on is continuing to expand our bicycle and pedestrian routes and friendliness,” she said. A n au d i e n c e m e m b e r who works for Eden Autism asked the mayors to address high unemploy-

ment among people with autism. Ms. Lempert cited McCaffrey’s market as especially supportive in their hiring practices, and mentioned a group home for developmentally disabled adults, recently approved by Council. “We will hope to make them part of the community, whether that’s through a job or volunteering,” she said of the future residents. —Anne Levin

The Princeton Master Plan recommends the installation of an off-road multi-use path along Valley Road. Town arborist Lorraine Konopka has been invited to be on hand should questions arise about the number of large established London plane trees that line Valley Road. According to an announcement of the meeting from the engineering department, “comments will be evaluated and incorporated into the design as appropriate” and “an additional design meeting may be scheduled in the summer to clarify unresolved design issues.” Otherwise, engineering staff will proceed with the design in order to secure the services of a contractor in late fall for the 2016 construction season.

opened in the new building 11 years ago we were considered a state of the art library but the world has changed dramatically since then and we are not providing the community with everything they need to be successful,” explained Ms. Burger. “Princeton is a community that values learning and education, the library is an important civic partner supporting those values. Today our library is organized differently, offers opportunities for lifelong learning, serves as a digital portal and information guide to vast amount of information and content, and is a physical space where people come to work, study, learn, and be social.” The proposed transformation will address needs that are not currently being met, said Ms. Burger. These include: designated quiet study space, more collaborative and co-working work space, a new technology commons area, space for technology instruction and MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). In addition, there will be a more robust network to handle the ever increasing digital load and electrical outlets near every seat and at every table to keep laptops, phones, and other devices charged. The plan calls for doubling the amount of comfortable seating and a new business center with hi-speed copiers, scanners, large scale printers, and other equipment to support those working away from home of office, as well as additional program and meeting space.

The Librar y’s Board of Trustees have been discussing the project for some time and plans for the renovation have evolved. “We’ve visited or gathered information from other libraries and gathered community input through several focus groups,” said Ms. Burger. Library staff conducted focus groups with members of the community earlier in the year. In most instances, responses confirmed the staff’s own observations and recommendations. “The focus groups confirmed that we are headed in the right direction in terms of responding to community needs,” commented Ms. Burger. “We’ve made a few adjustments based on their input and will continue to make refinements in our plans.” The most pressing need expressed by users for the second floor is the need for quiet study and small collaborative work spaces that could accommodate between two and three people. If all goes well, the Library may begin work on the project early next year. —Linda Arntzenius

Enacting a Charge on Single-Use Bags Can Decrease Their Use 60-90 Percent

To the Editor: In November, Princeton residents voted in favor of considering a charge on single-use bags as part of a Mercer County voter sentiment referendum. The idea of that proposal was to help reduce the amount of single-use bags taken at the register, thus leading to a decrease in landfill and environmental waste. People would be encouraged to bring their own bags to avoid the fee and to avoid polluting the environment. The question passed overwhelmingly three-to-one in Princeton encouraging us to now consider actual legislation on this topic. Princeton could follow the lead of many other towns, cities, and states in the United States and around the world who have enacted such single-use bag policies. The Princeton Environmental Commission has come out in support of a draft ordinance calling for a 10¢ charge on plastic and paper single-use bags at carry-out in stores in Princeton. The merchants would keep the entire proceeds from this charge, as they would for any other item purchased in their establishment. Shoppers would be encouraged to bring their own reusable bags to avoid paying for them at the register. There are ample provisions for implementing this program on a timeline that is both merchant-friendly and also considerate of families in need. Families participating in assistance programs would be exempt from the charge, free bags would be distributed to those in need, and merchants could continue to give refunds to customers who brought their own bags … an additional incentive. We thank the residents of Princeton for understanding the issue and for voting for a policy that we know makes the world a cleaner place. Enacting a charge on single-use bags has been shown to decrease their use by 60-90 percent. We would like to see the same happen in Princeton. While other New Jersey towns are considering this, we hope Princeton will take the lead on passing this legislation. PRINCETON ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION

In a “Community of Porches,” Some Reasons To Save 31-33 Lytle Street and Its Lovely Porch

To the Editor: Princeton Council is considering demolishing 31-33 Lytle Street, in the heart of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. Say “No” to Council: no demolition. The lovely porch (1870-1880), which retains its original architectural details and roofline, should be designated an Historic Site. The historic home, owned and possibly built by an African-American who came from Virginia to Princeton after the Civil War, is eligible as part of an Historic District. Who among us will endorse, now, demolition of yet another African-American building? — after white-skinned Princeton razed African-American Princeton homes (and displaced people) to establish Palmer Square, and then destroyed Jackson Street (with more people removed)? The house is community heritage. The Historic Preservation Commission formally opposes demolition. Funds from The New Jersey Historic Preservation Trust can restore the house. Trishka Cecil, Council attorney, has given approval for using Princeton Open Space monies for historic preservation. Mercer County Open Space funding should remain available, prorated, for the area not covered by the house. How should this beautiful porch and its building best be used? Affordable housing needs remain critical in Princeton: hikes in property taxes and school taxes have just been announced. Pressures on our economically challenged citizens intensify daily. Families are being divided, forced out. Princeton cannot promote our valued diversity without unswerving commitment to affordable housing opportunities. The Lytle Street house could become two affordable units — for sale or rent, with resultant income to the appropriate municipal body. Concept plans have been generated. Despite extensive rehabilitation needed, reasonable estimates are less than the $250,000 cited by the municipal Administrator, Marc Dashield. A John Street house was rehabilitated for $150,000 (2012). Participation by

Dorothea’s House Hosts Discussion Of Verdi’s Adaptation of “Macbeth”

To the Editor: Dorothea’s House once again demonstrated on Sunday, May 3, why it’s such a bright star in Princeton’s cultural firmament. In its unique role of furthering the understanding and appreciation of the history and culture of Italy, it hosted a packed house for a discussion of Giuseppe Verdi’s operatic adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth by Joseph Colaneri, the music director of the Glimmerglass Festival, held annually near Cooperstown, N.Y. The production is slated for the 2015 summer season. Often using Italian words and phrases punctuated by Italian verve, Colaneri said that Verdi’s operas represented the very soul of Italy. While Macbeth depicted Scottish exiles, Italians believe Verdi was really characterizing Italy’s history. Colaneri noted that although Verdi was not religious, he was spiritual, and tinta (color) was very important to him. In Macbeth, Verdi insisted on very dark colors (mood). Colaneri said that the Yale University professor and foremost expert on Shakespeare, Harold Bloom, has written that there are two human icons: William Shakespeare and Giuseppe Verdi because both express the essence of who we are as individuals. Two talented soloists, Hunter Enoch and Mitra Mastropierto, understudies at Gliimmerglass, sang arias and a duet from Macbeth, bringing the audience to its feet in enthusiastic appreciation.

Not in Our Town (NIOT) Thanks Those Who Contributed to Success of Stand Against Racism

To the Editor: An event that began eight years ago in Princeton and Trenton — demonstrations for Stand Against Racism day — grew exponentially and is now the signature campaign for the national YWCA. Not in Our Town (NIOT) wishes to thank all those who contributed to the success of Stand Against Racism days, past and present. We remember Nassau Inn employees helping make a human chain around Palmer Square, merchant participation directed by Kathleen Maguire Morolda, and well-attended rallies at Hinds Plaza — all these programs benefited from the YWCA’s leadership. For this year’s observance, Not in Our Town assembled photos of 100 merchants from Town Topics ad pages sponsored by an anonymous donor. (These merchants were among those who pledged to support this cause by putting up our We Stand Against Racism posters in their stores.) And this year the Princeton YWCA, implementing its motto “eliminating racism,” held an 80-person legislative breakfast, cosponsored by Lori Rabon of the Nassau Inn. After presentations by the CEOs of Trenton and Princeton

YWCAs, the mayors of Trenton and Princeton, NIOT’s co-chairs Linda Oppenheim and Larry Spruill, Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, chair of the Latin American Legal Defense Fund (LALDEF), challenged all, saying being against racism is merely good manners. “We should really focus on inclusion, which is a lot harder because it forces us not just to be well-mannered, but to really open our hearts and our spaces to people not like us.” Then everyone clustered in small groups, and NIOT facilitators led discussions of down-to-earth concerns about bias. Thanks to all who helped and participated. This program truly fulfilled the Y’s intention: “to build community among those who work for racial justice and to raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and structural racism.” MARIETTA TAYLOR, NIOT board member, Hartley Avenue HOWARD HUDSON Franklin Park JOYCE TROTMAN-JORDAN Trenton

In Spirit of Communiversity, “Fired-Up” Event Pairs Painting with History of Fire Department.

To the Editor, Each year the Arts Council of Princeton’s (ACP) Communiversity brings the Community and University members together to celebrate the things we love about our town. This year was no exception. In keeping with the Communiversity spirit, Art +10 (a group of Princeton-area artists) wanted to honor our Volunteer Fire Department. In a unique collaboration with the department, the group hosted a joint paint-out and art show at the Chestnut Street Fire House. Dubbed “Fired-Up,” the event welcomed visitors to view artists painting and learn the rich history of Princeton’s Fire Department. Members of Art +10, want to thank Bill Shields, president of Princeton Engine Co. #1, the Princeton Fire Department, and the Blue Jersey Band (which provided a festive background), for making this event happen.

Co-Chairs of Planned Parenthood Benefit Thank Guests, Staff, Volunteers, Committee

To the Editor; As co-chairs of Planned Parenthood’s 26th annual Spring Benefit, we thank the hundreds of enthusiastic supporters who attended our luncheon on April 24 at The Hyatt Regency Princeton, as well as our benefit committee and the Planned Parenthood staff and volunteers. With 400 guests filling the room, it was a tremendous success in raising funds to support the services and programs of Planned Parenthood. We were pleased to have as our speaker Alexis McGill Johnson, 2013-15 Chair of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. A true champion for women’s health and rights, Alexis shared her journey and the reasons for getting involved with Planned Parenthood. She described Planned Parenthood as part of a movement not just for reproductive freedom but also to uplift our friends in the fight for justice. For more than 82 years, Planned Parenthood has worked every day to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and keep women healthy. We urge those who believe that every woman has a right to reproductive health counseling and family planning, regardless of income, to support Planned Parenthood.

Habitat for Humanity and Isles, together with volunteer labor, can reduce costs — particularly if the mayor and Council enthusiastically support the initiative and make the political effort. If not affordable housing, what? As Councilwoman Butler proposed (March 23), the building can become part of the adjacent Mary Moss Playground, currently slated for expansion; building rehabilitation would be simpler, with restrooms and an indoor play area in inclement weather. (Only a small minority of speakers at the three Council sessions dealing with the park favored expansion, not affordable housing.) More significant: the historic porch — the neighborhood is a “community of porches” — can become a public architectural focus to celebrate African-American life in Princeton. Booker T. Washington himself visited the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, as a photograph attests. If white Princeton celebrates Einstein’s birthday, why not Paul Robeson’s (April 9, 1898)? — or the constitutional amendments that legalized citizenship and suffrage for African-Americans? The first floor could become “passive” exhibition space documenting Princeton’s AfricanAmerican community (Robeson House highlights Robeson himself). The expanded park on the house’s north side could include a community garden — environmentally sustainable, probably much cheered. Council should buy the property and retain both porch and house. Otherwise, the owner-developer Roman Barsky would probably subdivide the lot and build two expensive houses that are not consistent with neighborhood values. DANIEL A. HARRIS Dodds Lane

The Fate of Gil Hodges and Other Strange Doings On the Field of Dreams It was like playing in a ghost town. —Baltimore pitcher Zach Britton ou’ve heard of the Ship without a Crew. Last Wednesday it was the Game without a Crowd, Camden Yards entering the Twilight Zone as the man who wrote “The Raven” put his stamp on the Field of Dreams. For the first time in history, a Major League game was played with the fans locked out. Of those nine innings in a vacuum, what should have been a dramatic high point, the moment Chris Davis of the Orioles hit a long home run, produced only a small, quick, brittle sound instantly buried in silence (“But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token”) as the white speck disappeared from view, landing on Eutaw Street a few blocks from the spot where in the early fall of 1849 Edgar Allan Poe was found lying on the pavement, delirious, in mortal distress, outside Gunner’s Hall tavern. The official explanation for the bizarre state of affairs in Baltimore is that the gates to Oriole Field had been closed to protect fans from the “civil unrest” set off when Freddie Gray died in police custody. Or perhaps, as I prefer to think, Poe’s perturbed spirit whispered the idea in the ears of the mayor, the owners of the Orioles, and the commissioner of Major League Baseball. That might help explain grotesqueries such as the recorded singing of the National Anthem into the “quaint and curious” void and the organist playing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” for the benefit of 46,000 empty seats during the seventh inning stretch. Locked Out of the Hall The idea of organized baseball denying entrance to its fans has ironic resonance if you’ve been reading Princeton resident Mort Zachter’s Gil Hodges: A Hall of Fame Life (University of Nebraska Press $34.95), about a great player and manager who has been denied entrance to Cooperstown. Eminently qualified players like Pete Rose and Mark Maguire have been excluded because they did not live “Hall of Fame” lives while Gil Hodges did just that. As Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci says of Zachter’s book, “In these pages you understand how Hodges defined what it meant to be a role model in a golden age.” It’s repor ted that the foul balls retrieved from the empt y seats at last week’s fanless affair were collected for the Hall along with other relics. Thus do the gatekeepers of a domain built for the fans enshrine a surreal event that could serve for a painting illustrating the ignominious effects of the 1994 strike. So it goes: baseball trivia finds a place in Cooperstown but not the man who hit 370 home runs and managed the Miracle Mets. Ebbets Field The empty stadium in Baltimore also has elements in common with the fate inflicted on the Dodgers faithful following

HARMONY

the 1957 season a mere two years after Brooklyn’s first and only world championship. The forces that shut down Ebbets Field violated a neighborhood gathering place where some of baseball nation’s most colorful crowds convened every summer for the better part of a half century, until the owners absconded to the West Coast with the beloved Bums. The Boys of Summer, Roger Kahn’s classic memoir of Brooklyn and baseball, put the depth of the loss into words: “Ebbets Field was a narrow cockpit, built of brick and iron and concrete, alongside a steep cobblestone slope of Bedford Avenue. Two tiers of grandstand pressed the playing area from three sides, and in thousands of seats fans could hear a ball player’s chatter, notice details of a ball player’s gait and … see the actual expression on the actual face of an actual major leaguer as he played. You could know what he was like!” Hodges Was Here! Mort Zachter grew up haunted by the ghost of a field without a game, a city without a team. The first sentence of his preface states the specifics: “I was born in Brooklyn four months, twelve days, and six h ou r s af te r t h e B r o o klyn Dodgers played their last game at Ebbets Field.” Clearly he was also born to write the life of t he on ly Dodger star w h o “s t i l l called Brooklyn home after the team moved to Los Angeles” and “lived a few blocks away from where I grew up. Every morning as I walked to my elementary school, PS 197, I crossed Bedford Avenue and looked north in the direction of Hodges’s home, proud that he had stayed.” Hodges was “a visible figure in the neighborhood” and “could be seen walking his dog, a German Shepherd named Lady Gina, down Bedford Avenue or stopping by Gil Hodges Field on McDonald Avenue to watch the kids play, or buying Marlboros at Benny’s Candy store on Avenue M.” The reference to Marlboros stings a bit once you learn that Hodges

was a heavy smoker who would die of a heart attack in 1972, at age 47. Zachter ends the preface recalling how “if you walked into Benny’s candy store shortly after Hodges had left, you could hear the owner...in a voice so filled with excitement you would have thought the Dodgers had just moved back to Brooklyn, saying over and over again, ‘Hodges was just here, Hodges was just here, Hodges was just here.’ “ The Face The cover of Zachter’s book features a close-up of Hodges, the rough, grizzled, middle-aged manager of the Mets, frowning, intense, eyes narrowed, chin propped in his clasped hands. Tom Clavin and Danny Peary’s 2012 biography, on the other hand, shows Hodges the Brooklyn Dodger slugger in his prime, blue-eyed and young, bat poised, face free of lines except for the furrowed brow, his gaze fixed on the pitcher. The pose reminds me of the color portraits of players I used to paste in scrapbooks. My devotion to the Dodgers’s arch rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals, didn’t rule out a 10-year-old fa n’s fon d ness for other stars. While my fe e l i n g fo r Hodges centered on his resemblance to the ultimate Cardinal Stan Musial (two role-modelworthy coal miner’s sons with lopsided grins), what clinched it was knowing he’d grow n up in southern Indiana, like me. The fact that his birthplace was a town called Princeton meant nothing at the time, of course, but now that I’ve spent most of my adult life in another Princeton, I can’t help smiling when Zachter refers to young Gil “on the playing fields of Princeton,” or when I read that as Hodges’s casket was being carried out of a Brooklyn church the organist played “Back Home in Indiana,” just as the Ebbets Field organist did every time he hit a home run. The Manager A further absurdity concerning Hodges’s exclusion from the Hall of Fame is that by all rights his accomplishments as a star on one of baseball’s most storied

teams should have been enough, all by itself, to save him a place there with his teammates Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, and Roy Campanella. Yet on top of that, he led the hitherto cosmically hapless New York Mets to their miracle, the winning of the 1969 National League pennant and vanquishing in five games the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. Though few Brooklyn fans accepted the notion that the Mets could ever in any way take the place of their Bums, what Hodges had accomplished in his brief term as manager was like a microcosm of a half-century of Dodger history, a team that went from being the joke of the National League, a perennial loser, to a dominant force. Hodges the manager is shown in action in Zachter’s prologue, “His Reputation Preceded Him.” As the title suggests, it was the big man’s stature, along with his “reputation for integrity” and the fact that he’d always treated umpires with respect (one of the rare players who had never been thrown out of a game) that enabled him to convince Lou DiMuro to reverse a crucial call in what proved to be the turning point of the fifth and deciding game of 1969 World Series against the Orioles. As Zachter describes it, “Hodges didn’t yell or scream. He didn’t have to. It was all measured and calculated—even the modulation in his deep voice.” The Voice There are references to the persuasive power of Hodges’s voice all through A Hall of Fame Life, one of the most powerful examples being the night in Washington D.C. when he talked a player out of suicide. This was when Hodges was managing the lowly Washington Senators and one of his best pitchers, Ryne Duren, drunk and despondent, had climbed to the top of a bridge over the gorge on Connecticut Avenue and was threatening to kill himself. Zachter quotes from Duren’s autobiography describing how Hodges came to the bridge with the police and told him, in that voice, “You’re too good to do this to yourself.” As Zachter relates in the epilogue, Ryne Duren “overcame his demons, stopped drinking, and worked to help other athletes with their addictions” before he died in 2011. wonder what Gil Hodges, the “role model in a baseball’s golden age,” would make of last week’s strange doings in Camden Yards. Most likely he would join the city, the owners, and the commissioner in opting for caution over tradition. Still, it’s possible to imagine him seeing the empty stadium as a symbolic defeat, a surrender to death in life over what might have been a validation of baseball’s right to be called the National Pastime. Perhaps he would have told the powers that be, in that voice of his, “You’re too good to do this to yourself.” —Stuart Mitchner

Library Hosts Conversation Lauren Davis Launching With Enright and O’Toole New Novel at Labyrinth

Princeton Public Library presents Irish author Anne Enright in Conversation with Fintan O’Toole on Thursday, May 14, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room. Named the inaugural Laureate for Irish Fiction this year, Ms. Enright will be interviewed during the program by Mr. O’Toole, literary editor of The Irish Times. Anne Enright is the author of five novels including The Gathering for which she won the Man Booker Prize. The Forgotten Waltz, her latest novel, won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. Fintan O’Toole is the visiting lecturer in theater at the Lewis Center for the Arts and the Leonard L. Milberg ’53 Visiting Lecturer in Irish Letters at Princeton University. ———

L a u r e n D av i s w i l l b e launching her new novel Against a Darkening Sky (ChiZine $18.99) at Labyrinth Books on Tuesday May 12 at 6 p.m. According to Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, “Against a Darkening Sky brilliantly achieves the ideal for a historical novel: period and milieu seem utterly inextricable from character and theme, and together they illuminate timeless and universal truths of the human condition. Seventh-century England is fascinating. Wilona is achingly real. Her quest for an identity and a place in the world are richly resonant. Davis is a remarkable writer.”

Chris Hedges Chris Hedges Discusses “Wages of Rebellion”

Chris Hedges investigates what social and psychological factors cause revolution, rebellion, and resistance in his new book, Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt (Nation $26.99). He will be discussing the book today, Wednesday, May 6 at 6 p.m. According to Kirkus Reviews, Wages of Rebellion is “A call for a new American revolution …. Like early-20thcentury muckraking journalists and, more recently, I.F. Stone, Hedges makes a boisterous, outspoken contribution to revolutionizing the national conversation.”

Drawing on an overview of prominent philosophers, historians, and literary figures, Mr. Hedges shows not only the harbingers of a coming crisis but also the nascent seeds of rebellion. Focusing on the stories of rebels from around the world and throughout history, he investigates what it takes to be a rebel in modern times. For Mr. Hedges, resistance is carried out not for its success, but as a moral imperative that affirms life. Those who rise up against the odds will be those endowed with this “sublime madness.” From South African activists who dedicated their lives to ending apartheid, to contemporary anti-fracking protests in Alberta, Canada, to whistleblowers in pursuit of transparency, Wages of Rebellion shows the cost of a life committed to speaking the truth and demanding justice. Chris Hedges spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Balkans. He has reported from more than 50 countries and has worked for the Christian Science Monitor, National Public Radio, the Dallas Morning News, and the New York Times, for which he was a foreign correspondent for 15 years. He was part of the team of reporters at the Times who were awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 2002 for the paper’s coverage of global terrorism. The author of over a dozen critically acclaimed books and a senior fellow at The Nation Institute in New York City, he has taught at Columbia University, New York University, and Princeton. He currently teaches inmates at a correctional facility in New Jersey. ———

The Gourgaud Galler y located in the Town Hall at 23-A North Main Street in Cranbury, will present an exhibition, “Images of Cranbury,” featuring the work of photographer David Nissen through May 31. “We in Cranbury have been fortunate to preserve the scale and context of our historic village, its agricultural and natural periphery, and the complex and lively communit y it sustains,” said Mr. Nissen. “Lee and I have lived here for almost 4 decades, raised our two children, and shared in the cultural and governance organizations of the community. I have always taken photos, “snapshots” if you will, of events and travels. But since retiring from the New York commute five years ago, I have devoted much of my time and energy to photography, to give my right-brain a chance.” T he ex h ibit ion show cases some 40 images of Cranbury from a decade of photographs by Mr. Nissen. “I hope they evoke for you some of the essence of our community, as they do for us,” he said. The artwork is for sale with 20 percent of each sale going to support the Cra nbu r y A r t s C ou nci l and its programs. Cash or a check made out to the Cranbury Arts Council is accepted as payment. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the gallery is closed on May 25; on the first, third, and last Sunday, the exhibition is on view from 1 to 3 p.m. For more infor mation contact: dnissen@comcast. net or visit: www.cranbury artscouncil.org.

by Pearlman’s favorite artist, Paul Cézanne. “We are proud to have been the custodians of this sup erb collec t ion since 1976, and now to have shared the collection with venues in four countries,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher-David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, d irec tor. “It s ret u r n to Princeton is an auspicious moment, marking the first time in decades that our visitors will have the opportunity to discover the whole of the collection at one time, and thus to appreciate the Pe arl m a n s’ pas s ion for some of the 19th and 20th centuries’ most important artists.” Among the exhibition’s highlights are Cézanne’s Mont Sainte-Victoire (ca. 1904–6), Van Gogh’s Tarascon Stagecoach (1888) and Modigliani ’s por t rait of Jean Cocteau (1916). The Pearlman Collection is especially known for an exceptional group of intimate works: 16 watercolors by Cézanne, forming perhaps the finest collection in the world in terms of their quality and condition, as well as the continuing freshness of their colors. Due to the delicacy of the medium, the watercolors can be shown only rarely, so this is likely to be the only opportunity for decades to see them in the context of Cézanne’s oils. Other artists represented in the exhibition include Gustave Courbet, Honoré D a u m i e r, O s k a r Ko ko schka, Wilhelm Lembruck, Jacques Lipchitz, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. A richly illustrated catalogue, published by the Princeton University Art Museum and distributed by Yale University Press, accompanies the exhibition.

structions that juxtapose the parallel prongs of a tuning fork and the scattered energy of the city; Berendina Buist uses thread and fabric with parallels running across the rows and up and down the panels; Rita Asch, the group’s composer/musician, creates a lyrical sound piece inspired by the song of the thrush, allowing the trills of the thrush to interact in parallel with the digitally-generated sound of the flute and the human voice; photographer Frank Magalhaes creates a video stream of enhanced photographic images comprising a fantastical, parallel view of Umbria; Susan Hockaday presents a parallel version of the Dymaxion World Map created by Buckminster Fuller, substituting botanical imagery for the usual land masses; and Marsha LevinRojer offers a work from her Mandala series comprised of wooden beads suspended in parallel, as well as a tape installation where a set of parallel lines seems to remain constrained as long as it can before breaking out into a burst of energy. Guest artists include Dana Stewart, whose carefully positioned animal sculptures create strong visual parallels; Jim Perry, whose tall wood totems gracefully and elegantly carry the parallel concept vertically from floor to ceiling; and Jerry Hirniak, whose photographic assemblages and video presentation offer parallel views of an historic 10 day period involving the civil rights movement.

“Women in the World of Sondheim: A Cabaret”

The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Theater at Princeton University presents Women in the World of Sondheim: A Cabaret Performance, a one-woman musical revue conceived by and featuring theater senior Katie Welsh. The revue explores the individual and collective journeys of 12 female characters in the musicals of Stephen Sondheim. Directed by faculty member Suzanne Agins, with musical direction by theater senior Emily Whitaker, the cabaret will investigate how the women that populate Sondheim’s work differ from the women of Golden Age musicals, how they are uniquely characterized as morally ambiguous and insecure, and how they grapple with serious decisions. The performances will take place on Friday, May 8 at 8 p.m., Saturday, May 9 at 8 p.m., and Sun-

day, May 10 at 3 p.m. in the Wilson Black Box Theater at Wilson College on the Princeton University campus. A discussion led by Princeton professor and musical theater scholar Stacy Wolf will follow the performance on May 8. This event is free and open to the public. Welsh’s interest in musical theater began before coming to Princeton. “I knew I wanted to continue to study musical theater as a performer when I came to Princeton,” notes Welsh. “I approach musical theater from the perspective of a singer and the perspective of a scholar. In fact, I like to call myself a ‘singer-scholar.’” For the cabaret, Welsh gathered, assembled, and organized the songs and wrote the material that will be shared between songs that provides information on each of the characters she is exploring musically. Welsh’s senior thesis in the department of English is also an examination of Sondheim’s characterizations of women through written analysis. She plans to pursue a career in performance and intends to spend the year after graduation training in theater and music in preparation for MFA program auditions. Suzanne Agins, the director of Women in the World of Sondheim, is a Lecturer in theater at Princeton and a freelance director who specializes in new work. Her recent work includes the world premiere of Radiance by Cusi Cram for the LAByrinth Theater Company. She made her off-Broadway debut with the world premiere of Jailbait by Deirdre O’Connor for the Cherry Lane Theatre. Her other recent directing projects include : Alligator by Hilary Bettis ( Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference); Fuente Ovejuna: A Disloyal Adaptation by Cusi Cram, inspired by Lope de Vega’s play, at Princeton University (developed with LAByrinth T heater Company ) ; The Burden of Not Having a Tail by Carrie Barrett (Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference); Noel Coward’s Fallen Angels at Dorset Theater Festival ; Wing It, a new musical inspired by Aristophanes’ The Birds, by Gordon Cox and Kris Kukul (world premiere at Williamstown Theatre Festival); and Lascivious Something by Sheila Callaghan (Cherry Lane Mentor Project). Agins holds an MFA in directing from the University of California, San Diego. She is the recipient of a 2006 Princess Grace Directing Fellowship and is a member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society and the Lincoln Center Directors’ Lab. The production team includes lighting design by Sydney Becker ’17 w ith Matt Volpe ’16 as stage manager. To learn more about this event, visit http://arts.princeton.edu. ———

On Saturday, May 16, at 2:30 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) presents Lemony Snicket’s musical performance piece for children The Composer is Dead, a not-to-be-missed family concert in the grand tradition of Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf.” Narrator Julian Grant unveils and interrogates every instrument of the orchestra as he solves Lemony Snicket’s playful and perplexing murder mystery set in the symphony hall. Blending in more magical and bewitching music, the concert also features John Williams’ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Suite and Anatol Liadov’s BabaYaga, Op. 56. PSO. Music Director Rossen Milanov conducts. P S O’s Fam ily Concer t brings to life Lemony Snicket’s irreverent and hilarious book The Composer is Dead in which dreadful news of a composer’s demise is traced through all the instruments of the orchestra, coming to a surprising ending. The enormously popular Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) joined forces with composer Nathaniel Stookey and fulfilled a long-held dream to create a narrated, musical introduction to the orchestra to captivate young children. Narrator Julian Grant serves on the PSO’s board of trustees. He is a composer, writer, educator, music journalist and broadcaster, and father of two girls. In the second half of the concert, children of all ages will recognize music from the Harry Potter movies. One of the most famous, “Hedwig’s Theme,” will be performed, along with other excerpts from John Williams’ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Suite including “Sorcerer’s Stone,” “Nimbus,”

bribe to give her a clean bill of health. Next, she approaches Rich, the general manager (James Marsden) of a TV station that specializes in infomercials, about buying air time for the talk show about herself that she wants to host. Concerned about his struggling network’s bottom line, Rich gives his okay as soon as Alice gives him the $15 million needed to underwrite the project. His brother and business partner (Wes Bentley) is less enthusiastic about taking advantage of Alice until she proceeds to seduce him. Since she’s the topic of every episode, Alice appropriately names the program “Welcome to Me.” The themes for the programs range from titles like “Jordana Spangler – a Liar,” “Matching Colors to Emotions,” “Lucky Foods,” “I Can Still Smell You,” and “Regulating Your Moods with a High-Protein Diet.” The only thing they have in common is that they focus on some aspect of the narcissistic emcee’s life. The emotional exhibitionism proves compelling enough to improve ratings and Alice proceeds to self-destruct in front of her audience who can’t get enough of her no matter what she’s discussing. But at $150,000 per episode, it’s obvious that she’s eventually going to have a crash-landing . Directed by Shira Piven, Welcome to Me is a droll dramatic comedy that is made for the comedic style of Kristen Wiig. Alternately vulnerable and bizarre, but always endearing, this movie is the Saturday Night Live (SNL) alumna’s best since Bridesmaids. Kudos to Kristen for baring herself, literally and figuratively, and for delivering a performance that could easily have degenerated into the sort of slapstick she did on SNL. Excellent (HHHH).

Junior Star Callaway Providing Big Goals As PHS Girls’ Lax Gets on Winning Track

When the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team lost to Lawrenceville last week to suffer its sixth straight defeat, it would have been easy to write off the squad’s chances to do anything in the postseason. But PHS junior star Allie Callaway sensed that the Little Tigers would benefit from those tough losses down the road. “Coach said that we are the best 5-10 team he has ever seen and ever yone chuckled,” said Callaway. “But honestly I think it is true. The games that we have played against tougher teams undoubtedly helped us get prepared for the postseason and our goals for the year which include Mercer County Tournament and the states.” After rolling to a 19-1 win over Hamilton on April 28

with Callaway scoring four goals, PHS came roaring out of the game in the MCT as the fifth-seeded Little Tigers defeated 12th-seeded Stuart 20-4 last Saturday in a first round contest. Callaway tallied two firsthalf goals as PHS built an 11-1 lead over the Tartans and never looked back. “I think the offense is making some great plays; we have really constructed some attacking methods that work for the skills of some of the older girls and that has definitely helped us out,” said Callaway. “We have some different plays, different angles that we can attack from and different people that can cut through and create space and distract the other teams.” With two seasons of high school lax under her belt,

Callaway is looking to be a bigger playmaker for the Little Tigers. “I see myself as more of a leader now,” said Callaway. “I am able to get girls going into plays so they can capitalize on our opportunities. I have been working on my cuts up top which has really been helping me to improve.” PHS head coach David Schlesinger liked the way his players capitalized on their opportunities in the win over Stuart. “ We w e r e to ab l e to dominate draw control and ground balls so we kept possession,” said Schlesinger. “The first couple of shots, we shot right at the goalie and then we started finding our range. I thought they played great. I thought we moved the ball well, I think we had a lot of assisted goals. The whole game really revolves around draw control and maintaining possession and we did a great job of that.” In Schlesinger’s view, the Little Tigers are on the right track after their mid-season skid. “We lost six games in a row so it’s important for us to get our confidence back and dominating possession is the way to do that,” said Schlesinger, whose team fell to Princeton Day School, Rumson-Fair Haven, Hunterdon Central, Allentown, and Notre Dame in addition to Lawrenceville in that losing streak. “We are get ting much smar ter, we are making smarter passes. We are making good decisions with the ball; we are not taking bad shots any more. We are really improving.” Callaway’s improvement has been a big plus for PHS. “Allie’s shot has been phenomenal; we are trying to find her more and free her up,” added Schlesinger. “She has such a hard, ac-

curate shot. She had struggles midway through the season with a little bit of a leg injury and I think she is feeling a lot better. She is getting her speed back, she played really well today. We have been able to count on her for some really great early goals.” Junior star Taylor Lis has emerged as a great offensive weapon for the Little Tigers. “Taylor dominated the draw, that is to start,” said Schlesinger of Lis, who tallied seven goals and an assist against Stuart. “She has just become a remarkable finisher. She knows when to shoot, when to fake. She gets lots of opportunities because she is such a talented player. She is fast, she has great endurance. She is becoming a really smart lacrosse player.” Schlesinger pointed to sophomore Jordyn Cane as another player generating opportunities for his squad. After missing a few games due to illness, Cane showed she is at full strength in the win over Stuart, chipping in seven points on four goals and three assists. “I told Jordyn in the beginning of the season that she is as talented a player as we have on the team,” said Schlesinger. “She has remarkable quickness, a great first step and dodge. She has really learned how to shoot this year. She is really putting it together, you can just see how natural the game comes to her, she makes it look effortless almost.” Based on PHS’s effor t against Stuart, it looks like the team could enjoy a fine stretch run. “We are just trying to improve every day,” said Schlesinger, whose team is slated to play at No. 4 Allentown in the MCT quarterfinals on May 5 with the victor advancing to the semis on May 7. “So if we play as well as we just did and get better from there, which is what we coach every day, then

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) we’ll give any team tough competition. If we are in the game, we have really good talent and we’ll see what happens.” Callaway, for her part, is confident that the Little Tigers can make some good things happen over the next few weeks. “I think we are on the right track, we are getting there as a team,” said Callaway. “Everyone is starting to play up to their abilities as a team and individually as well.” —Bill Alden

There is no question that the Princeton High softball team will battle to the final out. Last Thursday against WW/P-S, PHS fell behind 3-1 and 9-6 to tie it 9-9 before losing 10-9. A day later, the Little Tigers trailed Trenton 7-2 before getting two-run homers from Nancy Gray and

Kayla Volante in the fifth inning to narrow the gap to 7-6. The Little Tigers got runners on first and second in the bottom of the seventh but couldn’t push across another run in falling by that 7-6 margin. On Saturday, PHS started the day by falling behind Hightstown 8-0 before narrowing the gap to 9-5 in

CUTTING LOOSE: Princeton High softball player Kayla Volante takes a big cut in a recent game. Last Friday, sophomore Volante hit a two-run homer in a losing cause as PHS fell 7-6 to Trenton.

Sparked by Majeski’s Hitting Surge, PHS Baseball Tops WW/P-S, PDS Moving up to the Princeton High varsity baseball team this spring as a senior, Steve Majeski got off to a slow start. But as the weather has warmed up, so has Majeski’s bat. He went 4-for-4 in a 15-6 win over Lakewood on April 25 and followed that up with two straight 2-for-4 games. Last Thursday, he blasted two triples to help PHS defeat Princeton Day School 11-6. “I had a rough season starting but I have definitely picked it up right now,” said Majeski, who went 2-for-4 with a run and four RBIs in the win over PDS. “I feel more involved and very connected. I feel like I am in the groove right now. It is about getting more practice time and getting more hits.” PHS got into a good hitting groove last week, topping WW/P-S 10-8 a day before the outburst against PDS. “We can st r ing some pretty nice hits together and we need to get into t hat mentalit y becaus e sometimes we can get quiet,” said Majeski. “When we really start to make good contact and we get chatter up on the bench, we can get some runs. The good thing in the last two games is that we have been able to keep it up. PDS and South are two definite rivals, we play them all the time, they are very close. It was a really good feeling to start getting some hits and keep it up.” Majeski helped start the PHS onslaught agai ns t PDS, slamming a run-scoring triple in a 5-run third inning as the Little Tigers jumped out to a 6-3 lead on the way to the victory. “It felt really good, I have been working on my batting average,” said Majeski. “I am hanging on to .500, going 2-for-4 in the last

a Princeton tradition!

two games. I really want to keep it up.” Moving to catcher from outfield has helped keep Majeski in the game. “It is tough to practice the entire offseason with the coaches saying, we are going to have you in the outfield and then all of a sudden, I am dropping you in the infield,” said Majeski. “Getting behind the plate can be tough at first but if anything it would help out because I am getting a lot more action to build up my strength.” PHS head coach Dave Roberts was pleased about his team’s strong batting efforts in the wins over WW/P-S and PDS. “Almost 30 hits in two games, that is more than hitting it,” said a smiling Roberts. “They have been stroking it. Yesterday was more doing some hitting and running to get it going against South. Today we took advantage, we stole seven or eight bases as well today. We really got that running game going, that was important.” Majeski’s hitting surge has been an important factor for the Little Tigers. “He is just crushing the ball,” asserted Roberts. “He is in a routine, he is seeing it. The ball must look like a grapefruit to him. I swear to god, nothing can get by him, it is crazy.” Junior second baseman M at t L a m b e r t c r u s h e d the ball against PDS, going 2-for-3 with a two-run homer. “Matt is a good hitter, he is down in that nine spot because he is so fast and it is that double leadoff theory,” said Roberts. “He is down there because he is fast and when he gets on there at the nine spot, he can steal bases, which he did today, and a

home run is just a blessing.” The Little Tigers were blessed with contributions up and down the order as junior Colin Taylor and Hayden Reyes also sparked the attack. “Colin broke out of it yesterday and continued it today,” added Roberts. “Hayden had a couple of nice hits today. He is doing a good job in the leadoff spot, he stole some bases for us today. It was all good things from everybody.” After PHS gave a very good effort in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament as the 15th-seeded Little Tigers fell 3-2 to second-seeded Notre Dame last Monday, Roberts is looking for his players to take care of business down the stretch. “Now we are just closing out games, the Pennington game (a 4-3 defeat on April 21) and the WW/P-N game (a 7-6 defeat on April 24) were tough losses, both one run,” said Roberts, whose team hosts South River on May 7 and Allentown on May 8 before playing at Lawrence on May 9 and at Hightstown on May 11. “We lost the North game, giving up four in the bottom of the seventh. It is just shutting the door and we are doing that. That is what we need to do.” Majeski, for his par t, believes that the way that PHS won the games over WW/P-S and PDS is a harbinger of good things to come. “If we get a team that strikes a chord with us, we can easily get a win,” said Majeski. “We just need to have the desire we have had for the past two days to beat PDS and South. It is good to know that we could put two wins together and the same sort of wins with big hitting.” —Bill Alden

the bottom of the fifth. In the final inning, the Little Tigers added another run but the rally fell short in a 10-6 loss. “We keep coming back,” said PHS head coach Dave Boehm, whose team played a second game on Saturday, falling 7- 0 to Hopewell Valley in dropping to 4-11. “We get behind and we chip away, we chip away but we are not that good a hitting team to overcome our mistakes.” While PHS hasn’t scored enough runs to negate its lapses, the team is showing some good punch. “Nancy Gray has been hitting the ball well, I am happy with her,” added Boehm. “Sarah Eisenach is ripping the ball, she had two triples this week. Both Genna Garlock and Kayla Volante have come through with big hits.” In order to come through with some more wins, PHS needs to play sharper all around. “It is tough, there is no consistency and that goes for the fielding and the hitting,” said Boehm, noting that his team committed nine errors in the loss to Trenton. “We are not getting the two-out hits. It is mental and physical. We get down and the mistakes multiply; we are not making our own breaks.” Despite the recent string of tough losses, the PHS players are not get ting down on themselves. “I want them to just try to get some confidence,” said Boehm, whose team hosts Allentown on May 6 and plays at Trenton on May 11 and will be starting action in the Mercer County Tournament, where it is seeded 11th and will play at No. 6 WW/P-N in a first round contest on May 9. “We can’t go into a game just thinking we are going to win, we have to perform. This is a 4-11 team but they have a good attitude. They want to play hard, they want to win.” —Bill Alden

Americo A. Arcamone, 89, of Princeton died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, April 30, 2015, at Merwick Care & Rehabilitation Center in Plainsboro, after a brief illness. Born December 28, 1925 in Princeton to Antonio and Giovanna Marcoline A rcamone, Americo, fondly known as “Gooch,” went to Nassau Street School and attended Princeton High S chool. He entered t he Navy in 1943 and served as a Pharmacist’s Mate on the Hospital Ship, U.S.S. Haven. Following his discharge in 1945, Gooch worked for the Princeton Post Office, and co-owned Veteran’s Taxi Service of Princeton. He retired after 25 years at McGrawHill Publishing Company in Hightstown, and ended his part-time employment with Princeton University’s Athletic Department just prior to his death. Husband of the late Antoinette (née Mazziotti) Arcamone, Gooch is survived by his two daughters, Karen Cinkay (Tom Gray) of Pennington and Adele Hagadorn of Skillman; his son, Frank Arcamone of Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania; his granddaughter, Kaylen Hagadorn and her partner, Laura Enstad of New York City; and grandson, Enzo Arcamone of Edmond, Oklahoma. Gooch is also survived by his brother, Dante and wife, June, of Lawrenceville, as well as by many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his sisters Angie Pinelli and Maryann Procaccino, as well as his brothers Frank, Carlo, and Mose. The funeral will be held at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, May 8, 2015, at The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Ave., Princeton. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. on Friday at St. Paul’s Church, 214 Nassau Street in Princeton. Calling hours will be held on Thursday, May 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. at the funeral home. Many of Gooch’s memories and stories from his childhood featured his two favorite places, Princeton Summer Camp and T he Dorothea House; memorial contributions in his name may be made to : Prince ton - Bla ir s tow n C enter, Administrative Office, 13 Roszel Road, Suite C204A, Princeton, NJ 08540 and/ or Dorothea’s House, Dorothea VanDyke McLane Association, 120 John Street, Princeton, NJ 08542.

ed that he fell a short time earlier, and had remained on the floor for a few minutes, but was feeling better. He denied having struck his head during the fall and reported that he had not lost consciousness. He com plained only of back pain. An examination revealed no obvious injuries. The crew placed the patient on a stretcher for transport to the emergency department. Shortly thereafter, the patient, who had been conversing lucidly with the crew, suffered a seizure. After the seizure, he did not regain consciousness, displayed several critical symptoms, and had inadequate and sporadic breaths. In light of the sudden change in his condition, the crew took several steps to assist him, including administering oxygenated breaths through a bag valve mask, and suctioning his airway. The crew departed for the hospital, meeting paramedics en route. After paramedics began advanced lifesaving measures, the crew transported the patient to the trauma center at Capital Regional Medical Center in Trenton for further evaluation and treatment. On the afternoon of Thursday, April 30, the squad responded to the roadway adjoin ing t he P r inceton University construction site near the new train station on the report of a pedestrian struck. Upon arrival, the crew discovered a construction worker supine in the roadway next to a car with its passenger-side mirror sheared off. The patient reported that he left the construction site and was heading toward the bus stop when he was hit by a car. The impact caused the mirror to break off, with the patient spinning and falling under the moving vehicle, which dragged him a short distance at low speed. An evaluation revealed injury to his ankle, foot and leg with serious abrasions, as well as deformity, tenderness and swelling indicative of a fracture. His vital signs, however, were within normal range, he was conscious and alert, and displayed no life-threatening symptoms. He reported that he did not strike his head or lose consciousness during the incident. The crew splinted the patient’s injured extremity and immobilized him on a backboard. Paramedics arrived on scene to assist with the assessment and treatment, but it was

need advanced life support measures. The crew transported the patient to the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro (UMCPP) for further evaluation and treatment. Later that evening, the squad responded to the corner of Valley Road and Walnut Lane on the report of motor vehicle accident. Upon arrival the crew discovered a two-car collision with one of the vehicles, a sports utility truck, on its roof in the middle of the roadway. The vehicle was significantly damaged. The second vehicle, while upright also had significant front-end damage. An evaluation of the scene revealed four patients, all of whom had extricated themselves from their vehicles on their own initiative before the crew arrived. One patient, a female, was supine on the sidewalk in a state of obvious distress. The other three were on their feet. The crew examined all four, although a language barrier made it difficult to determine the extent of the injuries to the woman on the ground. Although a visual examination

cant injuries, the patient’s abdomen was tender to the touch, suggesting a possible internal injury. The crew immobilized her on a backboard, dressed several cuts and abrasions, and transported her to UMCPP for further evaluation and treatment. The three other patients, who were minors, had no injuries or complaints. They were permitted to refuse medical treatment after their parents, who were notified by police, arrived on scene. All four patients were secured by seatbelts at the time of the collision and all benefited from the deployment of airbags. These facts likely explain the relative absence of injuries on the three minors. The Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad is staffed 24 hours a day by approximately 90 volunteer and career personnel. Members of the community who are interested in volunteering with the Squad are encouraged to visit www.pfars.org, email info@pfars.org, or call (609) 924-3338 to learn more about EMS, technical rescue, and administrative opportunities.

Rescue The Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad responded to 67 calls for service last week. On Wednesday, April 29, the squad responded to a residence on the report of a fall victim. Upon arrival, the crew discovered an older man sitting at the bottom of a stairway accompanied by
