Multifaith Service Honors M.L. King, Celebrates Diversity

Dinky’s Continued Closure “Beyond Frustrating”

A congregation of almost 300 packed the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton on Monday night to commemorate the life and legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Hosted by the Princeton Clergy Association (PCA) and the Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA), the multifaith service was conducted by more than a dozen faith leaders from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim religions, with several area choirs and musicians also participating.

Ruha Benjamin, chair of the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Princeton and Princeton University associate professor of African American Studies, delivered the sermon: “The Year is 2069: What in the World Have We Done?”

Reflecting on King’s message for our time, Benjamin urged, “Nothing short of a revolution of values, in King’s words, can lead to a shift from a thing society to a person society.”

She was unsparing in providing facts and statistics revealing the forms of oppression in our society — a black child is 30 times more likely to be incarcerated in New Jersey than a white child, for example — but she insisted, “The facts alone will not save us. We have to foster a radically different imagination.”

Benjamin called on the gathering to imagine a scene 50 years into the future in 2069, offering a lens to examine the present world and the possibilities of shaping it into a more just society. She returned to the theme of imagination, noting, “We must refuel ourselves for the work of making this vision real.”

Alluding to a scene from Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Benjamin described the creation of “a sacred space in the wilderness as we reflect on how Dr. King’s message continues to speak to the freedom struggles of our day.” She added, “A new kind of world requires a new kind of people to build it.”

Claiming that King’s approach resonates powerfully with the teachings of the Baha’i faith and its founder Baha’u’llah, Benjamin emphasized that the message of King is neither simple nor entirely comforting. “I’m not talking about the watered down, feel-good sound bites that get trotted out once a year,” she pointed out.

“The message I’m talking about is the deeply discomforting diagnosis.”

Following a phone call to NJ Transit Tuesday morning to find out when service on the Dinky train that connects Princeton with Princeton Junction would be restored, Mayor Liz Lempert was “extremely frustrated.”

“They’re aware of the upcoming road closures on Alexander Street, but I haven’t gotten a date of when they are going to resume service,” she said. “It was important in the beginning of this closure that they finish, and now it’s critical.”

NJ Transit closed down the Dinky line in October in order to meet federal deadlines for Positive Train Control (PTC) throughout the state by the end of December. It was estimated that service would be restored by January 15. The train link has been replaced by bus service between

the two stations, which many commuters have criticized because of rush hour delays and other factors.

New Jersey Assemblyman Roy Freiman and Assemblyman Daniel R. Benson, who chairs the Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee, have been working with Lempert on getting the line up and running again. The situation is becoming increasingly urgent as PSE&G is planning to fully close Alexander Street on February 14 on weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., for work. Currently, alternating lanes of the road are closed. After PSE&G completes work, Comcast and Verizon have to replace their lines, which could cause further closures.

Lempert said she has received multiple reasons from NJ Transit for the delay in

resuming the service. “Essentially, we were told that in order to meet this critical deadline for Positive Train Control, the Dinky service was going to be closed because they needed the engineers to help with other parts of the line since they were facing shortages in staff,” she said.

“Then, we heard the great news that they had met the deadline for PTC. But then, because they had been focusing so much on PTC, they had fallen behind on regular maintenance.”

Curbside Composting Suspended While Town Refigures Program On Wednesday, January 30, participants in Princeton’s Curbside Organics Program will put their cans of materials out for pick up for the last time — or at least until the town figures out the best way to continue the program following a three-month hiatus.

Mayor Liz Lempert announced last week that the program, which began in 2011, is temporarily suspended due to problems with Solterra, the current hauler. It turns out that the food waste was not always being taken to a farm for composting, as was originally planned. Instead, it was sometimes going to a landfill.

Compounding the problem, when the town sought bids from contractors to continue the program for the next two years, the only company to provide a bid was the same one currently being used — at double the price. “As a result, the program’s cost to participants and the municipality would double with no guarantee that pickup service will improve, or that our food waste won’t be incinerated or landfilled,” Lempert wrote to participants, who are paying $65 a year for the service. Some 800 families have been enrolled.

Among the options being explored is having the hauling done “in house,” Lempert said, meaning the material would be picked up by the town. “But the question is where to take it,” she said during a press conference last week. “A farm, or some sort of processing facility? We don’t know yet. But we’re committed to coming up with a program that works.”

This isn’t the first snag the town has encountered with the composting program.

Last fall, it was announced that it was at Continued on Page 11

District’s Dual-Language Program Marks Success, Plans Expansion

The Spanish-English Dual-Language Immersion (DLI) program at Princeton P ublic S chools ( PP S ) is ready to expand to include kindergarten through fifth

grade next year at Communit y Park Elementar y School (CPS).

Launched in 2015, the DLI program, in which students spend half of their day learning in Spanish and the other half in English, currently spans kindergarten through fourth grade and is now open to all PPS students entering kindergarten or first grade.

Last year was the first ye ar t hat fa m i l ie s f rom all Princeton elementar y schools were eligible to apply for the kindergarten DLI classes at CPS. Students from Johnson Park, Littlebrook, or Riverside Elementary schools who apply and are accepted for DLI will be offered transportation to CPS if they do not live within walking distance.

Currently there are 207 im mersion st udents and 166 students in Englishonly traditional classes at CPS. Every immersion student has two main teachers, one for English instruction and one for Spanish. “The 50 - 50 mo del we us e is highly successful at teaching content and at the same time developing impressive levels of language proficiency,” said CPS Principal Dineen Gruchacz.

DLI teacher Damaris Rodriguez discussed the immersion experience. “Students are immersed in the language — listening, reading, speaking, and writing Spanish every day for 2.5 hours,” she said.

Ro dr ig u ez went on to emphasize the work and planning that have made this program a success.

“The-English-Spanish partner teacher connection is strong,” she said. “We plan activities together and we make sure to connect every single day to talk about our students’ academic, social, and behavior progress. All the teachers in our program are highly experienced classroom teachers, and all the Spanish teachers are native speakers. Communication, planning, continued

professional development, and parent support are key ingredients in making our program successful.”

Discussing some of the larger benefits of the DLI, Rodriguez continued, “We are becoming a global society in which Spanish is the second most spoken la n g u ag e i n t h e worl d , with more than 410 million speaking it as their native tong ue. B ei ng bi li ng ua l increases your competitiveness in the job market, opens up your mind to different cultural perspectives, and it has many positive ef-

Priscilla, and to the amazing teachers, everyone at CP is ‘all in’ with the DLI process and this is the key in my opinion. T he way they clearly communicate with the parents before the program begins is impressive, and then allows us as parents to be engaged and supportive throughout.”

He added, “It seems clear to us that his love for going to school is connected with the immersion program.

It has also taught him understanding, respect, and appreciation for other languages and cultures, which we really appreciate too.

We are thrilled with the program.”

Lindsay Casto, who has ch i ld re n i n s e con d a n d fourth grades in the DLI program, descr ibed how rapidly her children are learning. “We are constantly blown away with their accents and their natural way of communicating in situations that allow them to engage and exercise their new language,” she said.

S h e c ont i n u e d , pr a i s ing the commitment of the teachers, “The DLI program is rooted in the drive of the teachers. To have taken over a program that was new to Princeton and shape it around the strengths and spirit of our kids has been by far the strength of the program. T heir com mitment, personally, to our kids has been nothing short of amazing.”

Casto went on to describe how her children hold conversations in Spanish about food, books, math, science, homework, and Capture the Flag strategy. “Our chil-

fects on the brain.”

“Our students feel proud and know that they have to work hard to be able to succeed in this program,” she concluded.

PPS World L anguages, ESL, and DLI Supervisor Priscilla Russel added, “Students do not need to have any knowledge of Spanish or English before starting the program in kindergarten or first grade. For instance, the district has accepted native Japanese, French, Korean, and Hebrew speakers into the program, with good results.”

Commenting on the succe s s of t he pro g ra m i n developing the students’ communication skills and confidence, Russel continued, “We are pleased with the progress our children have made in building proficiency in both Spanish and English. In our program students study Spanish language arts, math, and science in the Spanish half of the day, and English language arts and social studies during the English part of the day.”

She continued, “In classes it is impressive to watch and listen to third graders complete their science tasks, or first graders explain solutions to their math problems, or four t h g raders independently play a card game, all the while speaking Spanish.”

Mitch Henderson, father of a kindergartener in the pr o g r a m t h i s y e a r, d e scribed his son’s experience and his own enthusiasm for the program. “We are very grateful for our son to have this experience at CP,” Henderson said. “From Dineen,

Police Blotter On January 16, at 5:48 p.m., a victim reported that their unlocked vehicle was entered on Orchard Circle between January 15 at 9 p.m. and January 16 at 6:15 a.m.

On January 15, a 21-yearold female from Princeton and a 31-year old female f rom Hillsborough were charged with two counts of theft. The investigation revealed that they allegedly worked as a team to steal money from Hispanic men.

The women would flirt with the men and depart after pickpocketing them. One victim lost $250 in cash and another lost $400. The police believe there may be more victims who are hesitant to come forward, and encourage them to report any crime.

On January 15, at 1:48 p.m., a victim reported that their wallet was stolen from the 700 block of Bunn Drive.

The stolen credit cards were used to make numerous unauthorized transactions.

Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

There are moments that we might have folks cheering and agreeing with what it is we are saying, and then there will be times where we are called to take a risk, called to challenge people, and called to walk a particular journey as well as testing the faith we preach about on a regular basis.

I’m reminded what the elders say, ‘Faith not tested cannot be trusted.’ I think Dr. King exemplified that until his passing.”

Benjamin went on to explain that King’s “dangerous diagnosis” forces us “to connect different forms of oppression, racism, militarism, and economic exploitation.” K ing’s message, she said, is about “how we treat one another and how systems of power treat us all.”

Citing numerous historical and contemporary examples of oppression, racism, and racial domination, Benjamin stated, “Ever y thing w ill have to be reimagined and reorganized with justice at its core, because right now we are prevented from seeing and knowing the truth.”

The important message of King, she argued, comes in par t from the way he “powerfully connected the many forms of oppression that stifle human potential and showed how it affects all of our insides and outsides.”

Describing us all as “patter n makers” weav ing a tapestry, Benjamin argued, “We need a different tapestry, a more vibrant social fabric that warms us all, that leaves no one out in the cold. We are pattern makers sew ing love into everything that we do.” She concluded, “T he year is 2019, so let’s get to work.”

Commenting on the 90 -minute ser vice, CFPA Executive Director and PCA Treasurer the Rev. Robert

Moore noted the “uplifting and empowering” spirit of the event. “The diversity of the crowd, racially and across the spectrum of the faith community, is also a great strength,” he said.

“Everybody feels uplifted.”

He continued, “This is a special oppor tunit y to come together in our diversity. It’s not just about seeking greater social justice. It’s also about being a stronger community for change. We get strengthened through diversity.”

Moore, one of the lead organizers of t he event, said, draw ing on B enjamin’s message, “we need to imagine another world if we’re going to transform things.”

SUNDAY, JANUARY 27 • stuartschool.org/advantage

Adam Bierman has announced he will make another run for a seat on Princeton Council this year. Bierman, who made an unsuccessful bid for Council in the 2018 Democratic primary, joins Michelle Pirone Lambros, who announced her candidacy early this month. Both Bierman and Lambros are Democrats.

The terms of Council President Jenny Crumiller and Councilman Tim Quinn will conclude at the end of this year. While Quinn will run for re-election, Crumiller has said she will not.

Adam Bierman In a press release, Bierman said, “I am running as a candidate for Princeton Council because I feel it is an opportunity and the time for me to step in and help with the progression of my hometown to intelligently move forward with the current challenges at hand. These include from an effective and efficient regional transportation system to infrastructure, debt reduc-

tion, and voluntary payments from the University. In short, my candidacy will endeavor to achieve the maximum amount of services for the minimum amount of dollars.”

A graduate of Princeton High School and Rutgers University, Bierman is producer and host of two shows on Princeton Community TV, where he hosted a public forum on immigration.

He said he is “an independent, progressive Democrat.”

“I have challenged the status quo when I publicly opposed the $137 million school referendum, and advocated for nonpartisan Princeton Council elections like our School Board has. Party politics should not matter when issues are local. As I said before and continue to do so, a pothole or a broken parking meter is not Republican, Democrat, or Independent; they just need to be fixed.”

A press release about Lambros, a Princeton native, said her candidacy is motivated by “a desire to preserve Princeton’s unique small town qualities through conscientious progress” and her “understanding of how its diverse residents and business community are essential to this process.”

A graduate of Seton Hall University and George Washington University, Lambros was among 19 women in New Jersey to be selected last year by Emerge America, the national organization that recruits, trains, and provides a network to Democratic women seeking to run for office,

Her venture, Princeton Promotions, will launch the first Princeton Restaurant Week in March.

Bierman said he has been monitoring the ongoing parking meter roll out, and would like to see monies earned from new meters put into a fund for improvement of the town’s central business district and property tax relief. Among other issues he lists as priorities are parking meters that charge variable prices according to the time of day, monitoring the effectiveness of new zoning ordinances to deter more tear-downs, shared services, affordable housing solutions, and having Princeton University continue to fund the Witherspoon-Jackson trust.

Of his plan to run for reelection, Quinn said in an email, “It’s an honor to serve on Council and I’m very excited to be running for reelection. I’ve assembled a top-notch, diverse team and I am glad to see that others are interested in running. As a lifelong Democrat, I believe our party is stronger when all those who have a desire to serve on Council are given the opportunity to run in the primary. I am ready to run and would like the honor of another term to continue Michelle Pirone Lambros making progress on the issues I've been working on, isLambros has served on sues that center on affordabilthe Princeton Zoning Board ity and the quality of life for of Adjustment, and is an ac- everyone in our community. tive member of the Princeton I look forward to a respectCommunity Democratic Or- ful exchange of ideas around ganization (PCDO) as well as these issues in the primary.”

—Anne Levin for their training program.

“Princeton is facing numerous challenges in the near term,” she said. “Balancing municipal project funding and property tax increases, meeting the affordable housing obligation, supporting the business community, resolving the parking meter situation, and stewardship of the residential landscape.

These challenges call for collaboration, communication, and creativity. I stand ready to serve our community and help guide it through these important decisions.”

Bierman has served as treasurer for the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee.

He is active in promotion of the Neighborhood Buddy Initiative, which encourages neighbors to look out for each other during emergencies.

Dinky’s Closure continued from page one

That meant keeping the Dinky closed with no restart date in sight. “This is horribly unfair,” Lempert said. “And then I was told that even though they had met the federal deadline for PTC, they hadn’t been able to get confirmation of that because of the federal government shutdown.”

According to figures from NJ Transit, about 470,000 p e ople t r avele d on t h e Dinky last year prior to the suspension in service. The trip between Princeton and Princeton Junction, which is on the Northeast Corridor line, takes approximately five minutes. Travel times on the replacement buses are at least 15 minutes, with longer times during rush hours.

“At this point, this is beyond frustrating,” Lempert said. “People in Princeton rely on this service. The bus is not an adequate substitute. Everyone understands that in emergency situations, the buses are the alternative. But to have this drag on for months is untenable.

People have been complaining to me, and I have been complaining to NJ Transit.”

risk because participants were routinely including plastic bags and utensils in the waste. As a result, the material was going to an incinerator in Tullytown, Pa., instead of to a composting facility.

Princeton was the first town in New Jersey to start a comp os t i ng pro g r a m.

The municipality was also among 35 finalists in a recent initiative funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, working with researchers from Princeton University in hopes of winning $5 million to build a local waste facility. The town did not win the final grant. “But the process provided us with valuable insight and data,” Lempert said in announcing the suspension.

Meanwhile, there are mea-

sures residents can take while the composting program is being re-evaluated.

In addition to backyard composting, reducing food waste in the home kitchen is an effective way to tackle the problem, according to Sustainable Princeton, which sent an email to patrons following the announcement of the hiatus.

“Feed people before we feed landfills,” the organization’s executive director Molly Jones said last week.

“If there is a silver lining here, it’s that we hope residents look at what they can do to reduce the amount of food waste they are producing. There should be better meal planning. There are apps out there that can give you a recipe to use what’s already in your fridge.”

Program Director Christ i n e S y m i n g to n a d d e d , “Look at things in your

kitchen that you throw out the most frequently, and try to eliminate that.”

Jones and Symington said they were not surprised by the announcement of the hiatus in the composting program. “There have been unfortunate bumps in the road,” said Jones. “The reality is that the maturity of the compost industry in New Jersey hasn’t been growing at the rate we would love to see. Princeton was first, but all of our hopes that there would be a growing market for where the stuff would end up have not been realized. At the state level, though, they are looking at food waste and creating more opportunities, so we’re hopeful.”

Symington added, “Being an early adopter is always a challenge. There was indication that the composting infrastructure would be expanding, but it hasn’t been at the pace you would need.

There was supposed to be a facility at Duck Island.

We thought the state would develop its food recycling infrastructure, and it just didn’t happen fast enough.”

Jones said she has “great confidence” that Mayor Lempert, Princeton Council, and the town’s Public Works department want to find a solution to the composting problem. “They truly want this to be just a hiatus,” she said.

“They are working very had to come up with a new solution. I think it was very reasonable of them to make the call. It wasn’t financially viable and it wasn’t meeting the environmental goals that were the intent of the program.”

Gabriel Kahane’s “Book of Travelers” Comes to Princeton University Concerts

S i nger - s ong w r iter G a briel Kahane, who will be performing next month at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall, described his preparation for his recent 8980: Book of Travelers album (Nonesuch Records).

“The morning after the 2016 presidential election, I packed a suitcase and b oarde d A mt ra k ’s L a ke Shore Limited bound for Chicago,” he wrote on the album cover. “Over the next 13 days, I talked to dozens of strangers whom I met, primarily, in dining cars aboard the six trains that would carry me some 8,980 miles around the country.

The songs on this album are intended as a kind of loose diary of that journey, and as a portrait of America at a time of profound national turbulence.”

In addition to his February 14 performance at Richardson as part of Princeton University Concerts’ “Crossroads” series, which draws together musicians and music from around the globe, Kahane will also participate in a public talk on February 13 at the Princeton University Library.

In an email this week,

Kahane noted that his current tour — now working its way up the West Coast before coming East — draws largely from Book of Travelers but also incorporates material from The Ambassador (2014), Where are the Arms (2011), and a few newer items.

“Kahane is a balladeer of haunting loveliness,” said Princeton University Professor of Music and Slavic Languages and Literatures Simon Morrison, who will be participating with Kahane in the February 13 library discussion. “He recalls to my ear, Beck or Peter Gabriel — but his music has fewer studio-produced effects and greater harmonic range, occasionally taking us into an alienated elsewhere through usual detours in the guitar and keyboard accompaniments.”

Morrison observed that Book of Travelers “is cast in a mood of quiet desperation. It’s not political art, but personal, or both political and personal at the same time. The questions Kahane asks but cannot answer are, I suppose, a pretty good reflection of the moment we are all living in.”

He went on to describe the

pieces in Book of Travelers.

“The tunes are gorgeous, Kahane’s singing filigreed, and t he accompaniment changes for each song to capture the voice, the personalit y, of the traveler whose story he is telling.”

In an interview on NPR’s All Things Considered, Kahane noted that the song cycle that makes up Book of Travelers is “a plea for empathy. I think songwriting is a way to deliver that message. I think empathy is one of the primary currencies of any type of storytelling, and songwriting is no exception to that.” Love, economic privilege, race, military service, friendship, death, and many more subjects are all addressed in the song cycle which Rolling Stone called “a stunning portrait of a singular moment in America.”

K a h a n e, w h o l ive s i n Brooklyn, N.Y., has collaborated with a diverse array of artists, including Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird, Blake Mills, Chris Thile, Punch Brothers, and Paul Simon.

School Matters PHS Science Teacher Wins 2019 NJEA MLK Award Princeton High School Science Teacher Joy Barnes-Johnson was named the recipient of the 2019 NJEA Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Human and Civil Rights Award at a ceremony and celebration at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark on January 12.

At PHS since 2007 as a teacher of earth science, chemistry, and STEM in the 21st century, Barnes-Johnson discussed her commitment to equity and social justice in her work in the classroom in a 2017 Town Topics Profile in Education quoted in the program for the NJEA event.

“The challenge is to address the issue of language diversity and ability differences in thoughtful ways,” she said. “In a community like Princeton, everyone wants to be the best, and they’re willing to work to get there. It’s important to challenge children’s belief systems about social justice, to help them understand that ability alone does not determine who they are.”

Notre Dame High School To Offer New Scholarships Notre Dame High School (ND) recently announced that it will offer three academic merit scholarships to incoming freshmen, beginning with the September 2019 enrolled class. Scholarships will include The Fitzpatrick Family Academic Merit Scholarship, full tuition for one student each year; and the Mary Ann Liptak Academic Merit Scholarship, half tuition for two students each year. Selection will be based on test scores on the High School Placement Test (HSPT) or the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) as well as an essay submitted by qualified candidates.

“Our continued commitment to keep a Notre Dame education affordable will now include the addition of three merit-based scholarships offered to academically strong incoming freshmen,” said ND President Mary Liz Fitzpatrick Ivins. “The awarding of these scholarships will recognize their hard work and commitment to becoming a member of the Notre Dame community.”

Princeton Academy Celebrates Harry Potter Book Night Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart (PASH) will be celebrating the worldwide Harry Potter Book Night on Thursday, February 7 at 6 p.m. in the William E. Simon Chapel Library on campus.

“We are so excited to be joining up with schools, libraries, bookshops, and community centers around the world to celebrate the fifth Harry Potter Book Night,” said PASH Headmaster Rik Dugan. “Our students have always been fans of the Harry Potter books, and we are so excited to extend an invitation to the surrounding Princeton area to celebrate the brilliance and magic of these stories.”

PASH promises that “young wizards, witches, and Muggles will be treated to an evening of magical games, readings from our favorite Harry Potter books, and the Hidden Hogwarts Quiz,” as well as “snacks inspired by some of the scrumptious wizard foods in the books.”

PRISMS Robotics Team To Compete in International Finals The Princeton International School of Math and Science (PRISMS) robotics team will compete for the championship in the Zero Robotics High School Tournament 2018 with some 400 other students from around the world at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on January 28.

The PRISMS team, one of 17 international alliances competing in the finals, joined forces in November with the Proxima Centauri team from Livorno, Italy and the Clements Rangers team from Sugar Land, Texas to write the computer programs that will run on the satellites aboard the International Space Station during the finals event.

Advised by engineering instructor Gregory Herman, the PRISMS team will travel to MIT in Cambridge, Mass., where they will see their program tested with direct transmission from space, as an astronaut operates the satellites that will run the students’ code. Student teams in locations at the University of Alicante in Spain and the University of Sydney in Australia will be connected with the MIT location via teleconference.

TRAVELING TROUBADOUR: Singer-songwriter Gabriel Kahane will be performing at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall, next month featuring songs from his “8980: Book of Travelers,” an album based on his experience and the people he met on an 8,980-mile train journey he embarked on the day after the 2016 election.

As a theater artist, Kahane has appeared twice at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Next Wave Festival, where Book of Travelers premiered in 2017 in a staged version directed by Daniel Fish.

In his email earlier this week, Kahane commented on audiences’ reactions to Book of Travelers. “Last fall, in the wake of the so-called #MAGABomber and the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, I worried that the thrust of Book of Travelers would feel quixotic or pollyana-ish in its optimism,” he said. “But as it turned out, audiences seemed to be even hungrier for the explorations of difference and empathy that are so central to the album.”

He went on to discuss the conflicts for an artist in the current context of “pure” a n d “tox i c” c ap it a l i s m , which, “has found its way into every nook and cranny of our cultural space.” He stated, “I think there ought to be a balance between the desire to communicate clearly and elegantly to an audience vs. the desire to patronize and placate.”

Kahane has a number of upcoming commissions that he cannot discuss yet, but he did mention that there will be a series of orchestral works over the next several years, some with him as soloist; a couple of commissions to make musictheater works; and a few choral and chamber works.

“Somewhere along the way,” he noted, ”I’ll also make another album as a songwriter.”

Rider Degree Program In Game and Media Design

Students can choose their own path with Rider University’s new Bachelor of Arts in Game and Interactive Media Design, which will launch in fall 2019.

Star ting with a strong foundation in video game design, stor y telling, and development, students can customize their studies to focus on specific areas of interest such as songwriting and composition, animation, filmmaking, and more.

“We want students to be able to develop expertise for a variety of areas under the video game design umbrella,” said Justin Burton, assistant professor II of music. “This will allow students to take advantage of the faculty expertise in mul-

tiple disciplines around the University, giving them the opportunity to explore their individual interests in their elective choices.”

The program is designed to prepare students to create immersive, interactive experiences, complete with compelling storylines, fully developed characters, integrated music, and a cohesive design.

“This is a very hands-on program. Students are going to be designing games in their first year,” Burton said.

“Throughout their studies, they’ll be working in multidisciplinary teams to create playable prototypes and have access to industry-standard software. An internship is also required to further their experience in the field.”

Sites where the program will take place are Gulick Farm; Herrontown Woods Arboretum; Pretty Brook/Great Road; Rosedale-Green Acres; the historic overlook and Stony Brook/Quaker Road, on approximately 38 acres between Mercer Street and Route 206; Woodfield Reservation; Mountain Lakes Preserve; and Van Dyke Woods/ Smoyer Park.

For more information, call the police department at (609) 921-2100.

Cherry Valley Road Is Now Reopened

The bi-county bridge carrying Cherry Valley Road over a branch of Bedens Brook at the Princeton-Montgomery border was reopened to the motoring public Januar y 17, on budget and ahead of schedule.

The Mercer County Department of Transportation and Infrastructure had announced the full replacement of the bridge in August, and the Notice to Proceed was issued October 22, 2018, with a 90-calendar-day completion.

Officially known as Bridge No. 350.3 on Cherry Valley Road, the structure traverses a Branch of Bedens Brook located in the Municipality of Princeton (Mercer County) and Montgomery Township ( Somerset Count y ). The original bridge was a single span, reinforced concrete slab on concrete/masonry abutments. The structure was considered structurally deficient due to poor condition of the substructure and superstructure.

The replacement bridge consists of a prefabricated, three-sided concrete culvert supported on spread footings. The structure supports a 46-foot-wide cartway and a 5-foot-wide sidewalk along the north side. The cross section at the bridge consists of two 12-foot travel lanes, one 12-foot and one 5-foot shoulder, and four-rail bridge railings.

Shade Tree Commission Notes Risks of Bill Diminishing Voice in Care of Trees, Shrubs

To the Editor: At the end of January, the state Senate will vote on a bill that would diminish the local voice in the care of trees and shrubs, particularly those in the right-of way along streets, including trees on private lands whose branches extend over the right-of-way and those in municipal parks.

The Vegetation Management Response Act (S2505) would do this by exempting public utilities and cable television companies from needing to comply with municipal laws and, more generally, from taking local vegetation management priorities or concerns into account. The Assembly recently passed the bill (A2558) with nearly unanimous approval.

The bill is presented as if it is urgently needed to prevent disruption of electric power supply during extreme weather events. But the mandate and the authority to carry out vegetation management to ensure reliable electric supply was granted to electric utilities more than a decade ago under state statute and rules. This bill is not needed for that purpose.

Rather, the actual thrust of the bill seems to be asserting that no person or body representing the locality shall “interfere with or restrict an electric public utility’s removal, replacement, or maintenance” of trees and shrubs. No one questions the importance of reliability of electric supply.

Yet, while trees may have the potential to interfere with electric service, they also bestow incalculable benefits.

They impart beauty, provide refuge to wildlife, serve as buffers to the extremes of weather, offer cooling shade in summer and windscreens in winter, curtail flooding, and restore the groundwater supply. The municipal tree canopy needs to be managed with all these qualities in mind. The utility perspective should not be authorized to override all others unilaterally. A state law should not authorize utilities to give no consideration to a municipality’s concerns.

This bill grants a utility the right to disregard any local law it deems as interfering with or restricting its vegetation management work. Alarmingly, it extends this right not just to electric utilities but to any public utility or cable television company. The law defines “public utility” to include electric, gas, water, and pipeline companies and numerous others. Although the bill requires electric utilities to adhere to professionally recognized vegetation management standards, and to provide notice to affected municipalities

YWCA Princeton Hosting Forum January 24 on Gender-Based Violence

To the Editor: We are now one year after the #MeToo movement began, but for so many, justice does not exist. The YWCA Princeton is focused on building a safe, economically secure future for women and girls. Our mission, which is to eliminate racism and empower women, can only be accomplished when we secure a future that is free from social inequities. Every action counts and now is the time that we need you to step up.

On Thursday, January 24 the YWCA Princeton will host a community forum on sexual assault and gender-based violence, right here at our building on 59 Paul Robeson Place in Princeton. We will be joined by Womanspace, #NotOnMyWatch, and Princeton University’s Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising unit. Both events are free and open to the public. More information can be found on our website, www.ywcaprinceton.org.

Join us in this fight, march with us, and believe survivors.

Suggesting a Return to Recycling Method Used Before Curbside Pickup Began

To the Editor: I would like to suggest that Princeton consider returning to a recycling method that we used for many years before curbside pickup began. That is, a central collection station (which used to be at the Princeton Shopping Center) which could serve as a location for people to drop off organic compostables. With an attendant (as we had in the past), it

should be possible to monitor what is dropped off and also cut fossil fuel consumption, since it does not involve large trucks driving all around Princeton. In fact, perhaps other municipalities/local shopping centers could follow suit if this were to prove successful. A shopping center with a grocery store is ideal because so many people go shopping for food and could conveniently drop off their organics at the same time. Perhaps a similar drop-off point could be set up (seasonally) once a week in conjunction with the farmers market near the Princeton Public Library, as well.

Local authorities do have a responsibility to work with public utilities and cable television providers. Existing practice is for the municipality to support utilities in their appropriate programs of vegetation management. This has worked well and should not be abandoned. But all parties should continue to be held to professionally recognized standards of tree care, cooperative planning, and regular communication.

BOOK REVIEW

Going to Extremes With Trenton Products Ernie Kovacs and George Antheil “Nothing in moderation!”

— Ernie Kovacs (1919-1962) “All or Nothing!”

— George Antheil (1900-1959) or the past week I’ve been revisiting the work of two Trenton-born revolutionaries who were inspired by the industrial mystique of the city that has proclaimed for some 80 years, in big letters on a bridge across the Delaware, TRENTON MAKES THE WORLD TAKES. Pianist-composer George Antheil, “the bad boy of music,” created a sensation in the Lost Generation Paris of the twenties with his Ballet Mécanique, which caught the attention of better known composers like Aaron Copland, who said “George had Paris by the ear,” and Virgil Thompson, who envied him “the bravado of his music and its brutal charm.”

The cigar-smoking comic iconoclast Ernie Kovacs took television apart and put it back together again in the fifties. “Without Kovacs,” one critic noted in 2011, “there would have been no Saturday Night Live, no SCTV, no David Letterman or Conan O’Brien.”

Laugh-In and Monty Python, among numerous others, could be added to that list.

Moderation?

Born 100 years ago today, Ernie Kovacs broke into radio at 22 as a DJ on WTTM in Trenton. When he was scolded by a producer for practicing his golf swing in the studio, Kovacs responded by hacksawing a golfball in half, gluing part of it to the big window separating the studio from the engineer, and drawing lines on the glass to look like cracks, a preview of all the surreal sight-gags to come when he plunged headlong into the virgin medium of television a decade later.

When 6-year-old George Antheil (pronounced AN-tile) found a toy piano under the Christmas tree after telling his parents that he wanted a real piano more than anything in the world, he took the toy to the basement and chopped it up with a hatchet. Recalling the incident in a radio interview a year before his death in 1959, he said, “I like to feel that this has been a symbol of my life.”

Trenton Roots “I love the ground upon which I was born, New Jersey, with a love that is difficult to explain, or understand,” Antheil said in response to a questionnaire sent in fall 1928 by the Paris-based literary journal transition.

He was born near the riverfront between the Farmer’s Market and the State Prison and is buried in nearby Riverview Cemetery. His father owned “Antheil’s Friendly Shoe Store” at 135 N. Broad Street, where George worked as a teenager, spending his spare time singing and drumming on shoe boxes in the storage room. He flunked out of Trenton Central High School in 1918 in the middle of his senior year. Although he was editor of the school literary magazine, he was also a notorious prankster.

Likewise born near the Trenton riverfront,

F

in a house eventually demolished to make way for the approach to the Delaware River toll bridge, Kovacs had “a rollercoaster childhood,” according to Diana Rico’s 1991 biography Kovacsland. His father owned a bar and made some serious money in the late 1920s as a bootlegger. An article in the Trentonian reports that the “mad genius of comedy” spoke Hungarian as well as English and, as an adult, could often be heard cursing in that language. Like Antheil, Kovacs attended Trenton Central, where he was the “class clown,” with a fondness for pranks and practical jokes.

The Shooting Piano Player In his autobiography, Bad Boy of Music (1945), Antheil recalls the pitfalls he faced at 22 as a concert pianist performing in Europe. Explaining how he handled “various riotous concerts,” he writes, “The reason is simple. I was armed.”

Inside the silken holster a Berlin tailor had sewn into his jacket, he kept a small thirty-two automatic.

Returning to the Philharmonie in Budapest after a previous performance during which the audience had rioted, he set the terms as soon as he stepped out on the concert platform. After telling the attendants to “please close and lock the doors,” he reached under his left armpit “gangsterstyle,” produced his “ugly little automatic,” placed it on the Steinway, and proceeded with a recital from which there was literally no escape.

There’s a cameo of Antheil in former Princeton resident Sylvia Beach’s 1959 memoir, Shakespeare and Company (“The fact that he was also from New Jersey was a bond between us” ). She remembers him being “stocky in build” with “tow-colored bangs, a smashed nose, interesting but wicked-looking eyes, a big mouth and a big grin. He looked like an American highschool boy.” As for his playing: “The piano is a percussion instrument, and that was the impression you got when George played on it, or, rather, punched it.”

Punching was the order of the day during the 1925 performance of Ballet Mécanique at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées. “The music was drowned out by yells from all over the house,” according to Beach’s first hand account. “You saw people punching each other in the face.” The uproar “suddenly subsided when the plane propellors called for in the

score began whirring,” raising an icy breeze that blew off wigs, had men turning up their collars, and women drawing their wraps around them. Antheil enjoyed the chaos.

“From a Dada point of view, one couldn’t have anything better.”

The Kovacs Dynamic It’s easy to imagine Ernie Kovacs creating the television equivalent of such pandemonium. He’d have done wonders with the image of a wig being, in Beach’s words, “whisked all the way to the back of the house.” He’d have also enjoyed the idea of a concert pianist with a pistol on the Steinway. Explosions and gunfire and other such pyrotechnics were key to his repertoire. One routine has him drawing the shape of a cannon in a blank frame facing a vase of flowers, adding a fuse, and walking away as the cannon blows the vase to bits.

Kovacs’s most acclaimed work was a television program Antheil most likely saw, given the stir the sound-effect sight-gag masterpiece created when it was aired on NBC in 1957. Besides being the only American TV show screened at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, it brought Kovacs numerous awards, the cover of Life, and a movie contract.

Formally titled The Silent Show (silent only in that nobody says anything), the program was popularly known as Eugene by the time it was reprised on ABC in 1961. Attired in a straw boater, bow tie, too-tight jacket, too-short trousers, and white shoes that make crunchy, sloshing noises, Kovacs as Eugene is a mute, bumbling, bemused character wandering, lunch pail in hand, through a 20-minute epic of bizarre effects.

When a repairman flicks an invisible switch, a chase scene from a western movie gallops out of his tool box; an invisible dog (all you see is the collar) slurps water from a dish, pulls its chain out of the wall, and trots invisibly off. As Eugene passes by a series of Greek statues, the fig-leafed nude sneezes, the kissing couple pants passionately, the thinker mumbles, and the living statue of a beautiful girl playing a lyre reaches out to touch him, the only romantic moment in the sequence, seductive music playing as he turns, smiling, expectant, and plants a kiss on what has become a real statue, which collapses noisily into pieces. A variation on the same effect occurs when Eugene stops to look at a massive painting, Washington Crossing the

Delaware, starts to walk away, hears gurgling water-cooler noises, and turns around to see the painted boat sinking.

So far it’s all been visually amusing without being hilarious (I’ve only given a small sample), but each violation of reality builds on the next, creating a comic momentum that leads to outright laughter when a seated man reading a newspaper becomes the quietly annoyed witness to the travesties of time and space that result after Eugene opens his lunch pail.

Endings Relatively poor and unknown in 1952, Kovacs was rich and famous in January 1962 when he lost control of his car on a curving, rain-slicked stretch of Sunset Boulevard and crashed into a telephone pole. He’d been drinking and was driving fast. “Nothing in moderation” proved to be not only his motto but the epitaph on his grave at Forest Lawn Memorial. “He taught me you could live the hedonistic life,” said his wife and partner in comedy Edie Adams. “You might pay for it, but it was one fun ride.”

On George Antheil’s grave at Riverview Cemetery in Trenton the only word below his name is “Composer.” The last 25 years of his life — the scores he composed for major Hollywood films, his collaboration on a wartime project with movie star Hedy Lamarr — would fill another column. One of his last projects was composing a theme for CBS Television’s documentary film series, The Twentieth Century (1957-1966), narrated

by Walter Cronkite. n a broadcast on New York’s WOR aired soon after Antheil’s death in February 1959, the legendary radio storyteller Jean Shepherd recounts meeting him by chance in a midtown cafeteria. With Ballet Mécanique playing in the background, music Shepherd often used to accompany his nocturnal musings, he tells listeners how “back in the early 1920s Antheil was an enfant terrible, one of the people who made the whole world know about America — George Antheil, from Trenton!”

——— If you are looking for a conservative counter-weight to Antheil and Kovacs, two other products Trenton gave to the world are Supreme Court justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito.

To celebrate Ernie Kovacs’s centennial year, Turner Classic Movies will be showing three of his television shows and four of his best films tonight, Wednesday January 23, beginning at 8 p.m. The Ernie Kovacs Collection, which includes six DVDs, is “a mandatory purchase for anyone who loves television and wants to experience some of its richest comedy roots,” according to NPR’s David Bianculli.

Some of the information about Kovacs in Trenton comes from a piece by Jon Blackwell posted on www.capitalcentury.com.

New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Continues Winter Festival with Melding of Poetry and Music

S

ince late November, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra has been presenting a Winter Festival throughout New Jersey, with performances depicting how “Music Speaks.” The Orchestra brought the Festival to Richardson Auditorium last Friday night with both a performance of contemporary poetry set to music and a towering 19th-century symphony featuring text drawn from an early 19th-century anthology. In this concert, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Music Director Xian Zhang conducted a lean first half of chamber instrumental textures and a second half of lush Romantic orchestration tempered with Viennese buoyancy.

Composer and Minnesota native Maria Schneider has been credited with revitalizing the big band sound in the 21st century, as well as fusing the jazz and classical worlds. Schneider’s 2013 Winter Morning Walks, a setting of nine poems

by Iowa poet Ted Kooser, has received a Grammy for Best Classical Composition, and has been championed by soprano Dawn Upshaw, for whom it was composed. In Friday night’s performance of this work, Schneider combined three musicians from her own jazz orchestra with strings from the NJSO to accompany Upshaw in conveying Kooser’s descriptive Americana poems. Upshaw and some of the instrumentalists were amplified, which took away a bit from the soprano’s acoustic resonance, but Upshaw used the amplification well to convey the text through the hall.

Schneider chose to set Winter Morning Walks from her lifelong interest in the poet Kooser, as well as the touching backstory of Kooser’s compilation of these poems as chronicling his own battle with cancer. Performing as a conductorless ensemble (although Upshaw led the musicians at times), Upshaw and the instrumentalists of the NJSO brought Kooser’s poetry to life with impeccable tuning and expressive singing from Upshaw and lush string accompaniment when called for. Schneider’s music proved to be accessible and appealing, pulling at the emotions of the audience.

The role of the three guest jazz musicians in Friday night’s performance was very much improvisatory. Pianist Frank Kimbrough, clarinetist Scott Robinson, and bass player Jay Anderson added freely-played passages to the nine Kooser poems set by Schneider. Robinson in particular, alternating between alto and bass clarinets, added rich color to Schneider’s

string writing accompanying Upshaw’s clear and warm singing. An especially effective depiction of the vernal equinox in the eighth poem, aided by a melodic violin solo from concertmaster Eric Wyrick, enabled the audience to well imagine spring emerging from winter’s clutches.

Part of 19th-century Austrian composer Gustav Mahler’s revolutionary orchestral legacy was his intertwining of song and symphony. His Symphony No. 4 in G Major, composed between 1899 and 1901, was one of several of the composer’s symphonies incorporating the human voice. In Mahler’s compositional imagination, Symphony No. 4 was full of Viennese lightness and pastoral atmosphere, a journey toward innocence which culminated in an angelic scene in which heaven is “hung with violins.”

NJSO presented this monumental work Friday night again featuring soprano Dawn Upshaw. From the opening precise winds, NJSO’s performance of this work emphasized Viennese clarity within a lush orchestral palette. A lean sectional cello melody was complemented by elegant solo playing from oboist Robert Ingliss, as well as English horn player Andrew Adelson. Zhang played with the tempi well, bringing out the multiple ideas which can always be found in Mahler’s works.

Most notable in this performance were violin solos from Eric Wyrick, played on a separate instrument at times to conform with Mahler’s requirement that a second solo violin be tuned a whole step higher than normal. or the final movement, Mahler set poetry from the early 19th-century German anthology Das Knaben Wunderhorn, a source he returned to extensively; the poem used in this symphony, “Der Himmel hangt voll Geigen,” may have informed as many as five Mahler symphonic movements. Mahler set this poem initially for voice and piano in 1892, originally intending the setting as a final movement to Symphony No. 3, however through reworking the two pieces, Symphony No. 4 finished the story begun in No. 3. Accompanied by pizzicato harp and strings, Upshaw sang the poetry of the final movement with animation, bringing to life Mahler’s pastoral world of innocence where “angels bake bread” and “St. Peter fishes in a pond stocked daily

by God,” as NJSO closed the concert with elegance and grace.

MUSIC REVIEW

A Debate Between a Professor and a Student Disrupts Their Lives; Eleanor Burgess’ Edgy, Topical “The Niceties” Premieres at McCarter.

“C

hoices have consequences,” a professor admonishes a student in The Niceties. In this multifaceted drama by Eleanor Burgess, a critique of a paper becomes a debate about race and American history. In the course of their conversation the characters choose words, and actions, that disrupt their lives.

On the surface, The Niceties is about racial injustice and its connection to American history. On a deeper fundamental level, the play examines the extent to which communication is difficult, particularly when conflict is magnified by social media. Generational tensions — including parent-child relationships — and gender issues are explored, as well as the conflict between idealism and pragmatism.

The show is inspired by conversations that took place in 2015 at Yale, the playwright’s alma mater. A debate “started with a disagreement between some administrators and a faculty member over whether there should be a university policy on Halloween costumes that might be racially offensive,” Burgess tells Liam Gibbs, McCarter’s literary intern.

“I was so fascinated by how we could reach this place where nuanced disagreement was impossible.”

The Niceties is set in March of 2016 at a university in the Northeast. Zoe, an African American woman who is a junior at the school, is meeting with Janine, a white professor of history. Zoe is there to get feedback on a draft of a paper that she has written for Janine’s class on revolutions.

The women would seem to share political views, as both are Democrats; Zoe is sad that Obama’s term is almost over, and Janine is excited at the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency. However, they find little common ground.

Like the clutter in Janine’s office, the breadth of issues explored by the script is deceptive, masking a sharp focus. Technology is a crucial source of friction; this is clear early in the show. One of Janine’s first pieces of advice to Zoe is to proofread from a hard copy rather than on a computer. Later Janine questions the validity of sources Zoe has found on the internet, and she is irritated by Zoe’s habit of looking at her phone.

Janine reveals that her colleagues jokingly refer to students as “digital natives” and “technological savages.” Zoe quickly observes the racial connotation behind this generational gibe; she notes that “native” and “savage” are terms that have been used to refer to marginalized people by their oppressors.

To Zoe’s dismay, Janine tells her that her

thesis is flawed, and that she should rewrite the paper entirely. Janine objects to Zoe’s argument that “a successful American Revolution was only possible because of the existence of slavery” because it lacks evidence, though she reevaluates this opinion, telling Zoe to seek additional primary sources.

Zoe argues that some people lacked the ability or privilege to leave evidence behind.

She also reveals that she wrote the paper during spring break, and that she organizes a lot of protests against social injustice, which will leave limited time for rewrites. Zoe hopes to receive an activism fellowship after graduation, for which she will need a high GPA. Janine is astonished that Zoe’s activism has included protesting decisions made by Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court. Janine is frustrated by Zoe’s lack of appreciation for the progress her generation has made on behalf of women, and unsympathetically refers to Zoe’s political activities as “extracurriculars.” This leads to a disagreement about the purpose of higher education.

The conversation becomes even more hostile when Zoe criticizes ways in which she finds Janine negligent in class, such as mispronouncing students’ names, and failing to ask about preferred pronouns. Zoe requests

responds with a list of demands that includes greater diversity among the student body, as well as a resource center for underprivileged students.

The acrimony between the women returns when Janine finds Zoe’s ideas unrealistic and criticizes her strident demeanor and methods. She insists that democracy must be given time, but Zoe retorts that democracy does not work for those in the minority.

Jordan Boatman as Zoe, and Lisa Banes as Janine, each give performances that are energetic, impassioned, and marked by impeccable timing. The pace at which verbal barbs are uttered, and retorts fired, suggests that both characters have had some variant on this conversation several times before; neither is particularly interested in listening to what the other has to say, which is one of the main sources of conflict.

Director Kimberly Senior’s staging underlines the shifting power dynamics between Janine and Zoe. In the first act, Janine sits comfortably behind her desk. In the second act, when Zoe presents her demands, she is behind the desk. By letting the characters alternate between sitting and standing at strategic points, Senior reinforces this concept — and maintains visual interest — by playing with vertical levels.

The set design by Cameron Anderson makes Janine’s artfully claustrophobic office, which is surrounded by black bricks, into a metaphorical ivory tower. The walls are white, and the ceiling — like history — is slanted.

There is a window, but it does not appear to offer Janine a view of what is happening outside. However, in tandem with the set, D.M. Wood’s lighting explores the extent to which this seclusion is a façade.

Burgess has a vast array of issues she wishes to explore, but she has taken care to make their presentation organic to the characters — ensuring that Zoe and Janine come across as complex, often flawed human beings, rather than mouthpieces for commentary. The playwright also avoids taking sides; both characters have valid points to make, and worthwhile life experiences to share. he Niceties is a succinct, relentlessly candid and, in places, unexpectedly “THE NICETIES”: Performances are underway for “The Niceties.” Directed by Kimberly Senior, humorous glimpse at the tone of our the play runs through February 10 at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre.

that more African American history be added to the syllabus. Janine is unconvinced of the relevance to her class, and later remarks, “Everyone is tired of hearing about racism.”

Zoe reveals that she has been recording the conversation, and demands that Janine admit that she is a racist. Janine maintains that she has not said anything wrong, but she tries to grab the phone. However, the recording already is online.

A month later, the women have another meeting in the office. Janine apologizes to Zoe for her lack of empathy in the first meeting, and Zoe apologizes for the damage her actions have done to Janine’s professional and family life: she has been suspended without pay, publication of her book has been postponed, and her son hardly speaks to her.

Zoe admits that she has received death threats. Janine suggests that a joint statement could repair the damage that the recording has done to both of their lives. Janine will say that she is grateful that Zoe has made her aware of problems with both the subject and her teaching; she offers to let Zoe say anything she wants.

It becomes tempting to question the sincerity of Janine’s apology. Has she actually done any self-reflection, or does she merely hope for the joint statement? In any case, Zoe

Princeton Ballet School Holds Master Classes

Princeton Ballet School ( PBS ), the official school of American Repertory Ballet (ARB), has announced a new series of master classes to be held on the last Sunday of each month. Taught by leading dancers, choreographers, and teachers, the classes are designed for students and aspiring professionals.

Born and raised in Bensalem, Pa., Mahoney began his life in dance at age 12 by attending PBS on scholarship. In 1991 he began as an apprentice at AR B a n d b e c a m e a fe at u r e d dancer with the company, which he rejoined in 2000 under the direction of Graham Lustig. Mahoney was

“Marge: A Preview” at Trenton City Museum

The Trenton City Museum has announced its new exhibit, “Marge: A Preview,” running February 2 through March 3 in the Tom Malloy Gallery at Ellarslie Mansion in Cadwalader Park. An opening reception is Saturday, February 2, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Mention the name Marge, and many New Jersey art patrons envision the watercolors of longtime Trenton resident and artist Marge Chavooshian. Chavooshian was nationally known for her fresh watercolors and sketches: scenes from the Delaware Valley, Cape May, and her many travels. A prolific artist, she left behind a massive body of work. “Marge: A Preview” is a peek at some of her nevershown work, before a retrospective of her work planned for Ellarslie in early 2020.

Marge Chavooshian was born in New York City, but she spent over 50 years as a resident of Trenton. She studied at the Arts Students League and with Reginald Marsh in New York, then worked as a fabric designer, illustrator, and teacher in public and private schools throughout Mercer County after moving to Trenton. During her career, Chavooshian was the recipient of 163 awards including American Arts Council, the Medal of Honor, scores of Best in Shows, purchase awards, and the latest, an award in her memory from the recent Garden State Watercolor Society exhibit at Ellarslie.

Over the many years that Chavooshian lived in the area, the Trenton City Museum featured her work in many juried shows and small group exhibitions. She also presented workshops and demonstrations, where she shared her expertise with amateurs and professionals alike. This preview and sale provide an opportunity for art lovers to add a Chavooshian to their collection.

For more infor mation, call (609) 989-3632 or visit www.ellarslie.org.

“Iron and Water” at MCCC’s Kerney Gallery

Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) James Ker ney Campus G aller y (JKCG) presents “Iron and Water,” an exhibit featuring the photography of C.a.

Shofed, Thursday, January 24 through Thursday, February 21. A community reception and artist talk take place Wednesday, January 30, 5 to 7 p.m. The talk begins at 6 p.m. JKCG is located in MCCC’s Trenton Hall, 137 North Broad Street.

JKCG Director Michael Chovan-Dalton says “Images

by C.a. Shofed show us the remnants and the artifacts of the great industrial era that helped build the industrial American city. This is an archaeological expedition that is unique to our young country, and only covers about 150 years. Many once-flourishing sites have been abandoned or repurposed, only to be abandoned again. Some have found new meaning and have been restored, but those structures still shuttered wait silently until the next opportunity arises or until they fall back into the water.”

Shofed, a Trenton-based photographer, recalls that sometime after being laid off and after his second kidney transplant, he decided that he would give fine arts photography a go. “I had moved to Trenton and the art scene in my new home town was raw, vibrant and easy to access unlike the small town I grew up in,” he recalled. “Trenton’s art scene is just now being discovered by the world outside its borders. Artists like Leon Rainbow and Kasso are leading the charge.”

For his own work, Shofed has drawn inspiration from things taken for granted.

“Things un-noticed. The ord inar y. I love to f ind beauty in objects we pass by every day,” Shofed says.

“When I spot an object or subject that meets my criteria, I picture the moment I’d like to capture that object in. When it arrives, I take the shot. That picture usually takes place in an urban setting or as nature tries to reclaim a man-made object. Not always, but that tends to be what my eye is drawn towards. I’ve taken what I’ve learned over the past seven years as a photographer and apply those lessons, my style to every picture I take.”

More information about C.a. Shofed is available at www.amphorartworks.com.

Mary Queen of Scots

Showtimes change daily Visit for showtimes.

PrincetonGardenTheatre.org

ary Stuart (1542-1587) is a tragic figure whose life story does not naturally lend itself to the big screen. After all, despite being King James V’s only legitimate offspring at the time of his death, she spent most of her childhood exiled in France and over 18 years of her adulthood imprisoned in England before being beheaded at the behest of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. But that hasn’t discouraged filmmakers from periodically taking liberties with the facts in order to mount an entertaining, if fanciful, biopic about the ill-fated aristocrat. Katharine Hepburn played Mary in a 1936 version directed by John Ford, while Vanessa Redgrave landed an Academy Award nomination for her rendition in a 1971 remake which netted a half-dozen Oscar nominations.

Now, Saoirse Ronan stars as the beleaguered queen in a visually-captivating costume drama marking the directorial debut of Josie Rourke. The movie is based on John A. Guy’s 2004 biography, Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart, though the production seems less concerned with historical accuracy than with flamboyant hair and makeup.

You can forget about the book’s assertion about being “true.” For example, Mary and Elizabeth (Margot Robbie) never met in real life, yet this picture’s climax revolves around their meeting for a face-to-face showdown fabricated for dramatic effect. Equally disconcerting is that the film hypes female solidarity as a hot button issue, a glaring reminder of how a movie often tells you more about the period in which it was made than the one it is supposedly about.

Even if you’re inclined to forgive all of the above, perhaps the picture’s most annoying flaw is that it opens with the heroine’s execution, and is then followed by a series of flashbacks leading back to Mary’s demise. Why spoil the ending by assuming everyone in your audience is a history buff who knows how the story’s going to turn out?

An anti-climactic overindulgence in pomp and pageantry designed for fans of British royalty.

Fair (H). Rated R for violence and sexuality. Running time: 124 minutes. Production Companies: Focus Features/Working Title Films/Perfect World Pictures. Studio: Focus Features.

Reliable Financial Advice and Expertise Is Available From Petrone Associates, Inc.

F

inancial peace of mind can not be overest i mated. Volatility in the stock market, the government shut down, job insecurity — these are just some of the current challenges causing economic anxiety and uncertainty among many people today.

IT’S NEW To Us

Whether it’s worry over the next paycheck, finding college funds for the kids, or confronting retirement needs, people are seeking ways to find financial security and establish a safety net.

Petrone Associates, Inc. is a longtime Princeton company that has always focused on its clients’ needs, and offers a diversified program to clients not only to grow their financial assets, but to keep them safe in case of emergency.

“We do not focus on just one aspect of a client’s finances; we look at the overall big picture,” explains Petrone Associates Financial Advisor and Certified Financial Planner Michael G. Petrone.

Family Business A family business, established by Thomas Petrone in Princeton in 1970, Petrone Associates is located at 2 Research Way (just off College Road), with a satellite office at 20 Nassau Street.

Still active in the firm, Thomas Petrone has been joined by his sons, Michael and Financial Advisor Andrew E. Petrone, who are now associates in the company.

Helping clients in the full spectrum of financial planning has always been the goal of the firm. As its mission statement points out: “Our mission is to get to know and understand your needs, wants, and long-term goals. We want to help you develop, implement, and monitor a strategy that is designed to address your individual situations.”

The company has always tried to be cognizant of the diverse individual needs of each client and the challenges each confronts.

“We understand the challenges families face today.

From managing debt to saving for college to retirement, these personal finance challenges can be overwhelming. Our commitment is to utilize all of our resources to help you pursue your goals.”

Whatever the client’s financial circumstances and goals are, careful planning is crucial, the brothers emphasize. “A financial plan starts with a review of the client’s current financial position and an assessment of progress towards meeting the client’s financial goals and priorities. A plan typically includes cash flow planning, retirement planning, investment planning, r isk ma nagem ent /i ns u rance, and tax strategies.”

Team Approach The firm has always emphasized a team approach, points out Andrew Petrone.

“Over the years, we have found that a team approach can be an effective method to help clients who have a wide variety of needs as they maneuver through a complex financial-services world. No one strategy fits everyone, which is why every client gets our undivided

attention — from planning to execution to follow-up.”

Michael Petrone adds, “Also, recognizing that everyone encounters challenges along the way, we strive to anticipate and address those situations as they occur. We want to keep you on track toward a meaningful and purpose-driven financial future.”

Both brothers have unique backgrounds, which add depth and dimension to their financial expertise.

Michael practiced law in the Princeton area for 10 years before turning his attention to the “family business.” In addition, he served as law clerk to the Honorable Thomas F. Shebell, Jr., presiding judge, Appellate Division, New Jersey Supreme Court in 1994-95.

As a certified financial planner, he counsels clients in many areas, with a focus on retirement planning, investments, and insurance.

Health care is another area of interest, and he is the author of the articles, “Longterm Planning” and “Health Insurance — Change on the Horizon,” published in Mercer Magazine.

“Retirement planning is a big issue for many clients,” he reports. “Many of them are in their 40s and 50s, and they are focusing on this. The sooner you start to prepare for retirement, the better.”

Important Priority “Save as much as possible in your working years, ideally at least 15 percent of your gross income,” continued Michael Petrone. “There is a general consensus that pre-retirees should aim for 70-80 percent of gross income replacement in retirement. Take advantage of em-

ployer matching in qualified retirement plans, and save in a diversified way among the tax-deferred, taxable, and tax-free accounts.”

Diversification in por tfolios is a very important priority, note both brothers. “High volatility in the stock market causes anxiety.

There is less risk if people have a diversified portfolio.

It is also important that the portfolio matches up with a client’s personal risk tolerance. That can be different for an older person looking toward retirement than for a younger person with years of active employment ahead.”

Andrew Petrone has also had an interesting career both in real estate and politics leading to his role at Petrone Associates. He has served as project manager for the New Brunswick Development Corporation, and as an officer of the New Jersey Committee for Economic Growth.

In addition, he spent time in the New Jersey political world, including assisting and advising candidates in campaigns for the state legislature.

As a financial advisor, he focuses on investment advisory services, retirement planning, and risk management. He also has extensive experience in estate planning for high-net-worth clients.

He has been recognized 11 separate years as a Leaders Club qualifier, and he is a multiple-year winner of the Million Dollar Roundtable — the premier association of financial professionals.

He has led numerous seminars for CPAs in the areas of retirement, qualified retirement plans, and risk management strategies.

Loyal Clients Petrone Associates has clients of all ages and back-

FINANCIAL FUTURE: “We enjoy helping people. We really do care about our clients, and we help them prepare to be financially successful. We take our responsibility as advocates for our clients very seriously.” Michael G. (right) and Andrew E. Petrone are advisors with Petrone Associates, Inc., the company founded by their father, Thomas Petrone. grounds, including those of high net worth and those just launching their careers.

“Younger clients are often the children of our older, longtime clients,” reports Michael. “We have many loyal clients, including different generations in the same family. They have come to rely on our knowledge, experience, and perspective.

For example, we have seen two substantial bear markets (economic downturns) in 2001 and 2008. And then there has been a turnaround. This has given us perspective and the ability to guide our clients through these times.”

Clients are generally very knowledgeable about their f i na nce s, p oi nt out t he brothers. “There is a highlyeducated group in Princeton and the area, but they still all need help with a variety of financial strategies and plans. For instance, the tax and estate planning laws can change dramatically and be very challenging. You have to stay up-to-date on everything.

“We look forward to continuing to give good advice to our clients, and help them be more successful.”

In addition to Petrone Associates’ financial expertise, the company has always taken a major role in com-

Princeton Alum Savage Hitting National Stage, Joining ESPN College Hoops Broadcasting Team

G

etting into standup comedy after graduating from Princeton University in 2008, Noah Savage has performed at such venues as Caroline’s and Gotham Comedy Club in New York City along with underground room and colleges on the east coast.

Last week, Savage brought his wit to a national stage in another context: providing color commentary for ESPN college men’s basketball broadcasts in Philadelphia and Tennessee, working the Davidson-Saint Joseph’s game on January 14 and the Tennessee State-Tennessee Tech contest last Thursday as part of his debut season with the network.

For Savage, a former Tiger men’s basketball star, getting the ESPN gig this winter took the persistence he displayed in scoring 873 points for Princeton and earning second-team All-Ivy League honors in his senior season as a 6’5, 220-pound forward.

After sending tapes of his broadcasting work to ESPN over the years, he got an interview and secured an audition for an off-air broadcast of a college game in Charlotte. Sticking with his style that mixes humor with inside hoops info, Savage was hired.

“You can be really good but if the person hiring

wants something different, they want something different,” said Savage, 33, a native of Princeton who starred at Princeton High and the Hun School before heading across town for college.

“You have to be yourself and not think what they want.

That is my attitude. I have always wanted to be the guy who was entertaining and a little fun when it is appropriate but still respecting the game and making the game the centerpiece and elevate it.

Savage cut his teeth in broadcasting in the 200910 season by working as a color man with play-by-play pro John Sadak on WPRB radio broadcasts of Princeton men’s hoops.

“John really helped me a lot to get started and teach me the ropes,” said Savage, noting that Sadak has gone on to work for such national outlets as Westwood One radio and CBS Sports Network and was succeeded on the Princeton broadcasts by Derek Jones.

“He was very complimentary and he was giving good feedback. We had a good chemistry right away. Obviously, working with Derek Jones has been phenomenal as well. Starting off, I was really lucky.”

In getting his start with ESPN, Savage is getting to call a number of games, focusing on A-10, Ohio Val-

ley Conference, and Ivy contests.

“Everybody has been great; you want to have a good broadcast and it is almost like playing on a team,” said Savage.

“As long as you are on the same page, it comes from the right attitude of wanting to do a great job and elevate the broadcast and make it interesting and fun.

There has been a really good movement towards making it fun.”

That movement clearly suits Savage. “I definitely want to be funny and have fun but also have strong opinions about basketball,” said Savage.

“I want to show know what I am talking about both within the league and breaking down the Xs and Os without getting too far into the weeds. The other thing is I like to explain common misperceptions.”

In order to achieve those goals, Savage puts in a lot of work.

“It is a ton of preparation,” said Savage. “You go to shootarounds, you go to practices, you talk to coaches, and you do your charts.

The SIDs at the schools will give you really good information. They give you the notes from the school and form the league. You want to know about the entire league for the big picture. I make

what I call a cheat sheet that has got the whole league. It is whatever you have got to do to be ready.”

Along with handling that grind, Savage seeks to spice up the broadcast, taking part in a video of a dunking drill in conjunction with the Tennessee State-Tennessee Tech which showed him getting rimmed out in his effort at a jam.

“I am trying to do that every game,” said Savage with a laugh.

“I had running shoes on for that but I was wearing khakis and a dress shirt. I am going to wear basketball shoes the next time. It is my idea; it is let me see if I can actually dunk here. I think it would be cool.”

For Savage, getting the chance to call games all over the country has been very cool “I am a basketball junkie,” said Savage, who does a weekly sports and pop culture podcast “Old School New School” with his fatherin-law and noted sports psychologist Rick Wolff, carried on iTunes and Libsyn.

“To me, no job is better than another job. I thought the game I did last night [in Tennessee] was heaven. I am with Derek. There were 19 dunks. It is awesome, it is all fun. That is the thing, every game has something interesting about it.”

Looking ahead, Savage is interested in pursuing his passions for comedy and hoops.

TALKING HEADS: Noah Savage, right and Derek Jones get ready to broadcast a Princeton University men’s basketball game at the Palestra in Philadelphia. Savage ’08, a former Princeton men’s hoops star, has joined the ESPN college hoops broadcasting team this winter as a color commentator.

“I would absolutely love to do both broadcasting and comedy; there are a few guys who do sports and comedy,” said Savage, who runs a monthly comedy show with his wife, Alyssa Wolff at the Von in New York City and includes his comedy schedule on his Instagram at yoitsthesav.

“If I was a headline comic, I would just do that when it isn’t basketball season,

depending in the gig. I want to do both, that is the ultimate goal. I don’t want to choose.”

In the meantime, Savage is fired up to work the basketball season as it heads into March Madness.

“It has been unbelievable, I am super pumped,” said Savage. “I just want to keep it going.”

PU Hockey Star Fillier Earns National Honor

Princeton Universit y women’s hockey star Sarah Fillier has been named the Hockey Commissioner’s Association National Rookie of the Month for the month of December.

Forward Fillier led the nation’s freshmen in scoring during December with six goals and two assists for eight points to help the Tigers post a 4-0-1 record. She scored more goals than any player of any class, with her six in five games. She scored in four of her team’s five games and had three multipoint performances.

Fillier, a 5’5 native of Georgetown, Ontario, leads the nation in scoring, averaging 2.00 points per game with 12 goals and 20 assists in 16 games.

With the longest unbeaten streak in the nation, and a program best 18 games, Princeton, now 13-2-5 overall and 11-0-3 ECAC Hockey, is ranked No. 4 in this week’s national poll. The Tigers are currently on exam hiatus and return to action when they host Penn State on January 29.

D’Orsi finished second on the team in scoring in her sophomore season with 56 points, scoring 42 goals and adding 14 assists. She became the 34th member of the Princeton century club, netting her 100th point against Penn in the Ivy League Championship. She was named to the Ivy League All-Tournament team and was a second-team All-Ivy League selection.

The Ivy League Tournament MVP, George is also a firstteam All-Ivy selection. Last season she set the Princeton record for draw controls in a game with 11 against Columbia in the Ivy League Tournament and ranks fourth in single-season draws with 57. In 17 games she scored 43 goals and six assists and had eight games in which she scored at least a hat trick.

Fish became the starting goaltender on March 31 in

a win at Delaware, making a career-high 16 saves. She went 9-2 after that point and posted a 10-4 overall record.

She finished with a .495 save percentage and a 10.58 goals against average. Fish had eight games with at least 10 saves and was a second-team All-Ivy League selection.

The Tigers, who went 13-6 in 2018, are coming off of their 14th League title, fifth straight, and 26th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and open the 2019 by hosting Temple on February 16.

PU Hoops Alumna Dietrick Starring in Spain Pro League

Former Princeton University women’s basketball star Blake Dietrick ‘15 is starring for Lointek Gernika of Spain’s Liga Femenina de Baloncesto (LFB).

Dietrick recently helped Lointex Gernika in the 2018 EuroCup as the team just

missed on the Round of 16 by three points. In six EuroCup games, the 2015 Ivy League Player of the Year posted 14.7 points, 4.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game while shooting 41.2 percent from deep.

Lointex Gernika got off to an 11-3 start, good for third place in the LFB, Spain’s top tier league. The team began the season with an eight-game winning streak. Dietrick has scored at least 10 points in 10 of 14 games this season and has three 20+ point outings.

The former Tiger dropped in 19 points, six assists and five rebounds in a 76-71 victory over Sant Adria on January 4, leading Eurobasket.com to name her the Interperformance Player of the Week for her performance. Dietrick has contributed 13.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.4 steals in 14 regular season games.

Tiger Hoops Guard Cannady Suspended over Wawa Incident

Princeton University men’s basketball star Devin Cannady has been suspended from the squad in the wake of an incident at Wawa last Friday morning around 3:30 a.m.

The senior guard allegedly swung at a Princeton Department of Public Safety officer in Wawa according to wire service news reports and was charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and improper behavior. The Mercer County’s Prosecutor Office is handling the case.

The 6’2, 182-pound native of Mishawaka, Ind. is averaging team-high 19.5 points per game and is the fifth leading scorer in program history with 1,458 points.

The pressure was on Tim Evidente as he stepped to the foul line for the Princeton High boys’ basketball team in the waning seconds of re g u lat ion las t we ek ag a i n s t v i s i t i n g W W/ PSouth last week.

PHS was clinging to a 3836 lead over the Pirates in the January 15 contest and sophomore guard Evidente earned a one-and-one opp o r t u n i t y a f te r g e t t i n g fouled in the backcourt.

The first-year varsity performer acknowledged that he was feeling some butterflies as he eyed the rim.

“I felt the crowd, I was ner vous,” said Ev idente.

“I was focusing on making these count; I knew we needed them.

Evidente coolly drained both shots as PHS held on for a 40-38 win.

In reflecting on pulling out the v ictor y over the Pirates, Evidente asserted that the fiery mentality displayed by PHS made the difference.

“I think it was our hustle and the way we played,” s aid Ev idente. “We jus t wanted it more than them.

Our defense wins most of our games. Our rotations are on point most of the time.”

Junior Star Davis Shines Against Lawrence High As PHS Girls’ Swimmers Gird for County Meet Cameron Davis didn’t feel 100 percent as the Princeton High girls’ swimming team hosted Lawrence High last Thursday, but that didn’t keep her from producing a superb performance in the meet.

PHS junior star Davis posted wins in both the 100-yard and 200 freestyle races as the Little Tigers cruised to a 116-54 victory over the Cardinals.

“I am feeling a little sick today so the swims were not as good as they could have been,” said Davis. “I am not mad about it, I think they were pretty solid.”

With the Little Tigers having started the week by defeating Notre Dame 109-61 on January 15, Davis saw the victory over Lawrence as another solid performance for the squad.

“We have been doing a really good job of staying motivated, even if it is a hard meet for us, and swimming as fast as we can,” said Davis.

With two high school seasons under her belt, Davis is working harder this season to keep her teammates motivated.

“It is funny because I am used to being an underclassman, so is this is my first year in a leadership position,” said Davis.

“It is a lot of fun, I try to be there if there are any questions on how we need to work and things like that.”

Davis has been showing her leadership taking an evenkeeled approach to competition and being open to swimming a number of events.

“I think I have been doing a good job of making sure that I keep a clear head,

even if I don’t feel well during warmup,” said Davis, who also swims for the Princeton Piranhas club team.

“That is something I have been working on for a while.

I like sprint races because they are a little shorter. I have been open to longer freestyle races, I think they are fun.”

PHS head coach Carly Misiewicz had fun seeing her girls’ squad end regular season competition with the wins over Notre Dame and Lawrence.

“It has been really good to go into counties and states and all of that with these last two wins,” said Misiewicz, whose team moved to 7-4 with the victories.

“You never really know who Lawrence and Notre Dame have; they always bring really good competition.”

Misiewicz credits Davis with being a top competitor for PHS. “Cammie is always an all-star swimmer, she is the kind of person who can get in and swim anything,” said Misiewicz.

“I think I have put her in the 200 free, the individual medley, the 50 free, the 100 butterfly, the 100 free, and the 100 backstroke. I think breaststroke and the 500 are the only things that she hasn’t swum this season.”

Davis is also boosting the team’s spirit on the deck with her upbeat personality.

“She is a really fun and easy person to get along with and the girls just gravitate towards her,” said Misiewicz.

“She is very positive all the time, which is awesome.

That is something you look for in a leader. We do have a small senior class, so we are

not graduating a lot.”

Tracey Liu has emerged as a positive force this winter for the Little Tigers.

“Tracey is someone who is really setting the bar high as a freshman,” said Misiewicz of Liu, who placed first in the 200 IM and 100 back against Lawrence.

“She is another very positive, very social person.

She is definitely getting to know everybody on the team and wanting to be a part of things. I have her in class as a teacher and she tells me all the time, ‘I am having so much fun, I really like it.’ ” With PHS competing at the Mercer County Championship meet at WW/P-North from January 24-26, Misiewicz likes her team’s chances to do well at the meet.

“You never really know who else is going to go for the other teams,” said Misiewicz.

“It is what is the best lineup we can put in. It is how can we squeak out as many points as possible, there is a strategy to that. We have really come a long way as a team this year since going into the winter break 3-3.

They understand and I always stress that it is about what is best for the team. I tell them don’t care so much about your times, they will come around when the time is ready.”

Davis, for her part, believes the Little Tigers are ready for a big performance this weekend.

“We are definitely in a good spot, we have been working hard this season; I am excited to see how well we do at counties,” said Davis.

“I am going to focus on having a good time with my team, considering after this year I only have one more year left.”

Displaying Fight in Defeat to Lawrence, PHS Boys’ Swimming Psyched for Counties Trailing Lawrence High 63-47 with four events left in a meet last Thursday, the Princeton High boys’ swimming team could have given up.

But by winning the 200 freestyle relay and then getting a victory from Jeshurun Reyen in the 100 breaststroke, PHS had a chance to win the meet if it placed onetwo in the 400 free relay, the final event of the day.

While the Little Tigers ended up taking second in the relay to fall 92-78 to the visiting Cardinals at the John Witherspoon pool, PHS head coach Carly Misiewicz was proud that her swimmers kept fighting to the end.

“We are down by 16, it is what it is,” said Misiewicz.

“All of that just shows how we are not going to give up ever. That is awesome and really, really good to have on the team.”

Although the loss was the second straight for PHS as it had fallen 101-69 to Notre Dame on January 15, Misiewicz believes her swimmers can build on their effort with postseason competition on the horizon.

“I think it was a tough week, but it really showed our true potential,” said Misiewicz.

“I was talking to their boys’ coach afterwards and we were saying neither one of us was ever out of it. The boys are sitting in a really good spot right now.”

Against Lawrence, PHS was

shorthanded as it had some guys out and others swimming reduced workloads.

“Will Murray didn’t swim and John Liang has been sick so he came a little later today,” said Misiewicz, who got another win from Reyen in the 50 free at the meet as the Little Tigers moved to 8-3.

“Eric Liu has been in and out so we had key people out who would make a difference, so fingers crossed that they get better healthwise.”

L ook ing ahead to t he county meet, which takes place from January 24-26 at WW/P-North, Misiewicz believes that PHS can be in the mix for a top finish.

“Personally, I don’t feel like anyone is a for sure favorite in the counties right now,” maintained Misiewicz.

“Counties always surprises everybody. It is totally different than a dual meet; you get one relay and you have four individual swimmers per event so anything can happen.”

In the view of Misiewicz, the fighting spirit her team displayed against Lawrence is a sign that it can do some good things at the county meet.

“It is about who wants it more and that is really what it comes down to at the end of the day,” said Misiewicz. “I feel like we do have that attitude and a sense of urgency that we are not giving up.”

IS ON

WHO’S BEEN SHOOTING AT MY TREES? With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

The characteristic straight rows of holes from the pecking of the Yellow-Belly Sapsuckers are a curiosity to many. The birds are not searching for the larvae of boring insects as often assumed. What they actually do is eat the live inner bark (phloem) of the trees, as well as the insects that are attracted to the resulting wounded areas and sap flow that their pecking creates.

Unless the holes are close enough together to cause girdling of stems or branches, the trees are usually not affected. Once the birds have identified a suitable tree, they will return year after year.

For trees severely damaged, consider deep root bio-fertilization with organic stimulants to maintain health and improve stress resistance.

Even though the Princeton High wrestling team lost 11 of its first 13 dual matches, Rashone Johnson is still getting plenty of quality performances from his athletes.

“I have half of a lineup that has experience, with veterans ready to step up and try to have a breakthrough season,” said PHS head coach Johnson.

“Then I have the other half of my lineup that is brand new. They are young and they lack experience. I find victories in all of my matches.”

The record is a bit deceptive as PHS has been involved in a number of tight contests.

“We have been close for the most part, it is always coming to the last match,” said Johnson.

“I hate to put pressure on guys like that and I don’t really put pressure on them. It is ‘go out and do the best you can and be the best version of yourself that you can be’ going out there on the mat. That is all I can ask of anybody.”

Senior stars Alec Bobchin (138 pounds) and Daniel Monahan (126) have been giving their teammates a daily example of doing one’s best.

“What they give you is consistency; they give you a working looking of what you need to do to get to their level,” said Johnson.

“It is not a far-fetched thing.

You see these guys; if that is what you want to do, look at what they do. Until you can match their work ethic, you can’t possibly expect to get what they have and be what they are. It is not me making

it up or reading a book and telling you theories of what should be. It is exactly cause and effect. You see those guys’ work ethic, you see what they do and the effect it has on performance. It is real cut and dry.”

After going 37-7 last season and taking eighth at 138 in the NJSIA A Wrestling Championships, Bobchin has continued to progress.

“In the offseason tournaments, the big tournaments that he went to, he was beating state champs and state placers from all over the country,” said Johnson.

“He is 150 percent better than he was last year and he was pretty good last year. He legit is going to be a threat to win the state title. He is one of those guys that if he gets it on the right weekend, the right day, he is a state champ.”

Monahan, for his part, recently notched the 100th win of his PHS career and is primed for a state run.

“He is definitely quality enough to get to the state tournament this year and that is what we are talking about and what we are trying to do,” said Johnson.

“He needs to be wrestling in March. He has the skill set that lends itself to do that.”

The squad’s other veterans have been displaying good skills on the mat.

“Chloe Ayres is having a nice year as a sophomore, she is doing her thing at 106,” said Johnson.

“You have got Chris Sockler a sophomore at 132. You

have another sophomore James Romaine at 152 and at 145, we have junior Dominic Riendeau-Krause. We definitely have some bright spots.”

There have been some bright spots among the team’s newcomers. “Jean Henri as a freshman at heavyweight is taking his lumps and is getting better each match; it is a work in progress,” said Johnson.

“Up at 182, Will Ellsworth didn’t wrestle last year but he wrestled the year before and he is enjoying it. He is starting to put it together a little better. He is improving each match. I have senior first-year wrestler at 170 in Aidan Vaughey. He is a first year guy coming out. He is a lacrosse guy and he is giving me everything he has out there. He is a tough kid. Juan Espinosa is doing that at 195 for me. He is doing the best that he can; he is a freshman in his first year of wrestling.

Johnson is confident that his wrestlers will give their best effort this Saturday in the Mercer County Tournament at Robbinsville High.

“I think it is going to be a good weekend,” said Johnson, whose squad will tune up for the competition by hosting WW/P-North on January 23.

“I have some younger guys in my lineup, and all those guys are looking to prove themselves as the top wrestlers in their weight classes in the area. That is the time to do it and see how you are.”

PDS Boys’ Hoops Pulls Away from Doane, Sparked by Coit’s Dynamic Performance David “Diggy” Coit passed the 1,000-point mark in his Princeton Day School career last year as a junior and he has been averaging a teamhigh 20 points a game so far this winter.

But when the dynamic guard didn’t score a point the first quarter last Friday as PDS hosted Doane Academy, he kept his cool.

“We were just trying to see what they were throwing at us,” said Coit. “Our motto is ‘always take it calm’ because if I get frustrated in the first quarter, that is going to set the tone for my team. It is all about being a leader. They were in a box and one and they were trying to take me out of the game. So my team helped me, we just did what we do and we were aggressive.”

In the second quarter, Coit took over the game, tallying 10 points as the Panthers forged ahead 34-28 by halftime.

“That was my main thing to get going,” said Coit.

“That is when I started scoring and getting more assists.

We started running, I think that is the most important thing for us. When I get going, we are unstoppable.”

In the second half, PDS racheted up the defensive pressure, pulling away to a 75-58 won and improving to 10-6.

“When we went in a halftime, we talked and the main thing I said to the them is that as soon as the third quarter starts, we are going to pick the defense up and that is exactly what we did,” said Coit.

Coit, who ended up with 21 points on the evening, saw the victory as a key step forward for PDS. “This game was a statement game for us because we are going to see them in the playoffs and we have home court advantage,” asserted Coit. “We were trying to let them know that we are here and we are ready to win.”

Citing the influence of new PDS head coach Doug Davis, a former standout guard for the Princeton University men’s hoops team, Coit is even more ready to excel this winter.

“He has helped me with my growth,” said Coit of Davis. “He is always on me, he makes me run every day.

He is definitely coaching me hard.”

DRIVE THROUGH: Princeton Day School boys’ basketball player David “Diggy” Coit dribbles past a Doane Academy player in action last Friday night. Senior star Coit scored 21 points in the game to help PDS pull away to a 75-58 victory and improve to 10-6. The Panthers host Princeton High on January 23, play at Germantown Academy (Pa.) on January 26, and then host Pennington on January 28.

Davis, for his part, is enjoying coaching Coit. “The kid can do it all, he has energy; the thing with me is just making sure that he brings 100 percent every time,” said Davis.

“With his potential and the makeup of that kid and the leadership that he brings, there is no way that he shouldn’t be the best player every time he steps on the floor.”

Coit was cer tainly the best player on the court in the second quarter with his scoring outburst.

“W henever Digg y gets going, it helps the team tremendously,” added Davis.

“They feed off of his energy, they feed off of him making shots.”

The energy displayed by PDS at the defensive end was a big plus. “That press we jumped into helped us get a lot of steals, deflected passes and everything like that,” said Davis.

“The pressure was really good for us. It definitely changed the tone of the game. The players did it, they went out there and got steals and did whatever they had to.”

The Panthers put Doane’s defense under pressure with balanced scoring as sophomore guard Freddie Young Jr. led the way with 22 points, junior guard Jomar Meekins added 15 points on five 3-pointers and junior forward Jaylin Champion chipped in 10 in addition to the 21 from Coit.

“When everyone plays together and we are pressuring and doing what we do naturally, we are all going to eat,” said Davis. “We are all going to gave really good games.”

Davis credited Meekins and Champion with having particularly good games.

“Jomar has given us tremendous energy on the defensive end and he is also hitting jump shots,” said Davis. “Jaylin got huge blocks on the defensive end and that is what we have been telling him to do. He plays bigger than he is.”

In the view of Davis, topping Doane could prove to be a big win for the Panthers. “This was definitely a game that can spark something,” said Davis, whose team hosts Princeton High on January 23, plays at Germantown Academy (Pa.) on January 26, and then hosts Pennington on January 28.

“It is just staying focused.

We have this break coming up so it is getting our guys back on the gym, shooting, and getting back to our game.”

As he heads into the final weeks of his PDS career, Coit is focused on a championship run.

“The main goal is to win and I am here to win ; I want to leave with two state titles,” said Coit, who helped the Panthers win the state Prep B crown in his freshman season with the program.

“I will be back in the gym tomorrow and I am going to do what I do. I know this team has the pieces; we have two main pieces in Jaylin and Freddie and my shooter [Meekins] doing his thing. We have got the team and I don’t think they can stop us.”

Hun Boys’ Hockey Goalie Cole Shows Maturity, Overcoming Slow Start as Raiders Fall to Hill It was a shaky start for Jackson Cole as the Hun School boys’ hockey team hosted the Hill School (Pa.) last Wednesday.

The Hun junior goalie yielded three goals in the first five minutes of the contest as the Raiders dug a 3-0 hole.

“When you go down so early like that, you just think to yourself it has already gotten this bad so you might as well play as hard as you can,” said Cole Playing hard, Cole got in a groove after withstanding the early barrage, repeatedly thwar ting the highpowered Hill attack.

“I started to feel like I was back on my feet after the first couple goals,” said Cole.

“I have always told myself that it only takes one period to play a good game. If you play as hard as you can for one period, your momentum will carry on to the next.”

The Raiders got some momentum in the waning moments of the first period as Eddie Evaldi scored with 27 9 seconds left to make it a 3-1 game.

“That goal gave us a little flash of hope,” said Cole.

“We thought we could really do something there if we gave it our all.”

While Hun gave it their all over the rest of the contest, it couldn’t break through as neither team scored again and Hill held on for the 3-1 win.

Cole did his best to keep the Raiders in the game, ending up 35 saves. “For goalies, once you get warmed up and you start to get into a rhythm, it is just comes easier,” said Cole.

Inspired by some hard words from Hun head coach Ian McNally at the intermission after the first period, the Raiders raised their level of play.

“We all banded together,” said Cole. “We decided in the locker room that we weren’t going to let this get any worse and we were going to go out there and try to come back.”

In reflecting on his progress, three-year starter Cole believes he has gotten bet-

ter mentally and physically in the ice.

“I think I am a lot more mature this year,” said Cole.

“As I get more experienced, I start to learn how to deal with being scored against. I am growing a little bit, getting stronger and just making the best of everything.”

In Cole’s view, the Raiders have to deal with the loss to Hill by keeping up their intensity. “We just can’t hang our heads from that,” said Cole. “We have to be ready and get right back on the ice tomorrow and practice really hard.”

Hun head coach McNally urged his players to get their heads back into the game after the shaky start against Hill.

“We came in here after the first period and the challenge was put to them,” said McNally.

“It has to come from within the room. We are old and big and strong. We are not little and young and without leadership. We have tons of leaders.”

Cole showed his leadership by closing the door on Hill.

“Every time, any turnover, you try with one hand on your stick instead of two or you hope it gets out instead of making sure that it gets out, all of that is instantly a scoring chance against us,” said McNally.

“There was no room for error. People feed off of that, it is like that with anyone, you feed off if both ways. If he lets in a couple of soft goals, you think you have no chance. But all of sudden when he comes out in the second and make some statement saves, you feel like OK, wait a minute, if he is going to bail us out then maybe we can sneak in a breakaway. It gives you confidence. It could have been 8-1 without him.”

McNally is confident that his top players can compete with anybody Hun faces.

“Regardless of who we are playing, we can throw five guys out there who are as good as anybody,” said McNally, referring to sophomore forward Matt Argentina, senior forward Brian Nelson, junior defenseman

Hayden Watson, senior defenseman Aidan McDowell, and junior forward Evaldi.

“We are going to generate offensive chances every game, it has nothing to do with strategy or the skill of players. If our guys decide that they don’t want the other team to do well and they internalize that and show that on the ice, then we play very well.”

The Raiders played very well over the last two periods against Hill. “It was on them to do it, we pushed hard on 10 guys,” said McNally.

“We played longer shifts, it is not easy. I know they were gassed, we had to burn a timeout early because of that. We threw everything we could in there. If we had one bounce, it might have changed it.I was proud of the effort.”

McNally hopes his players can bottle that effort as Hun looks ahead to competing in the Mercer County Tournament in early February and going after its sixth straight title in that competition.

“This is what were are capable of,” said McNally, whose team, now 9-7, plays at the Por tledge School (N.Y.) on January 23 and at Holy Ghost Prep (Pa.) on January 25 before hosting Notre Dame on January 29.

“The challenge is on them in their room as peers and leaders. It is not easy to do when you are a teenager and say we need to take this seriously, this is important to me and I am going to pull everyone along with me.”

Cole, for his part, vows that Hun will take things seriously in the MCT. “That is always a fun tournament for us, we tend to do well there,” said Cole. “It is something that we look forward to. We are going to be ready for that.”

Obituaries

Norman Itzkowitz

Professor Nor man It zkowitz, 87, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on January 20 in Princeton, New Jersey, where he had resided for over 65 years. Norman was a beloved professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University and served as the Master of Wilson College, one of the University’s residential colleges, from 1975 to 1989. He was the author of a number of highly regarded books in his field of Ottoman and Turkish Studies, including The Ottoman Empire and Islamic Tradition; Mubadele: An Ottoman-Russian Exchange of Ambassadors, co-written with his friend Prof. Max Mote ; his translation of Halil Inalcik’s The Otto man Empire: The Classical Age, 1300-1600; Immortal Ataturk, co-written with his dear friend and collaborator Dr. Vamik Volkan; and, reflecting the wide range of his academic interests, Turks and Greeks: Neighbors in Conflict, co-written with Dr. Volkan; and Richard Nixon: A Psychobiography, co-written with Dr. Volkan and Andrew Dod. Later in life he wrote a series of children’s history books for Scholastic with co-author Enid Goldberg.

Nor man It zkow it z was born on the Lower East Side of New York City in 1931. His father, Jack Itzkowitz, was born in Lowicz, which today is in Poland. His mother, the former Gussie Schmier, was born in Bobrka, a suburb of Lviv, which today is in Ukraine.

Norman attended Stuyvesant High School in New York City and then the City College of New York, which was, at the time, known for producing great scholars and not-bad athletes. Norman was both, winning the College’s Cromwell Medal in History and playing on the varsity lacrosse and fencing teams. On graduating from City College, he was admitted to Princeton University Graduate School. At Princeton, he studied under his mentor, the great historian Lewis Thomas. Upon his teacher’s death, he completed Prof. Thomas’s fundamental Elementary Turkish, still in use today. During graduate school he married his college sweetheart, Leonore Krauss.

When he was awarded a prestigious Ford Foundation grant to study in Turkey in the mid1950s, she accompanied him and they lived there for several years. They returned to Turkey often in the 1950s and 60s, and their son Jay was born in Ankara. Their daughter Karen was born in Princeton.

Well into his traditional

academic career Norman developed an interest in psychoanalysis and went back to school in New York City at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis. He trained to become a lay analyst, eventually seeing a small number of patients in New York. He felt that becoming a practicing analyst would be the most genuine way to engage in psychohistory, a discipline which merged his two interests. It was during this period that he co-wrote his psychobiography of Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, working with Dr. Vamik Volkan of the Psychiatry Department at the University of Virginia Medical School.

The book was regarded as a groundbreaking application of psychoanalytic theory to modern Near Eastern history. He extended his academic work in the area of psychoanalysis into handson work in the area of interethnic conflict resolution.

He traveled to Estonia where he worked with Dr. Volkan on reducing Estonian-Russian tensions following Estonian independence. Prof.

Itzkowitz was also one of the earliest Princeton scholars to develop online teaching materials, in particular his online lecture series The Demonization of the Other: The Psychology of Ethnic Conflict in the Balkans.

Perhaps as an outcome of his interest in psychology, Norman became increasingly involved in the on-campus life of the students at Princeton, becoming the Master of Wilson College, one of the residential colleges where students live and take their meals. Norman loved this work and was beloved by the students, who referred to him as “Uncle Norm.” He organized regular trips to New York City to the opera (one of his passions), Broadway shows, and sporting events. He was committed to helping students become compete adults. He viewed exposure to culture and particularly to New York City as vital to this effort. Many of his innovations became standard at the other residential colleges. He served on the Committee on Undergraduate Life (CURL) which radically re-organized undergraduate life at Princeton by bringing in the residential college system. While these innovations were objected to at the time by many alumni, today they form the basis of the Princeton undergraduate experience.

Norman’s love of fencing and sports continued t hroughout h is life. He served as a faculty advisor to the successful Princeton fencing and hockey teams.

Later in life he was delighted when his granddaughter, Aliya Itzkowitz, became a champion sabre fencer.

Norman is survived by his wife of 65 years, Leonore, his son Jay and his wife Pria Chatterjee, and his daughter Karen and her husband A. Norman Redlich, and four granddaughters, Anjali and Aliya Itzkowitz and Ruby and Dvora Redlich. He is also survived by his sister Edith and various nephews, nieces, and grandnephews and grandnieces. He also leaves behind a large group of prominent Ottoman historians who studied with him over many years.

He remained fully commit ted to Pr inceton un til the end, living right in

town. Norman and Leonore were a familiar sight taking their usual morning walk along Nassau Street, where he would stop in to see his many friends. Perhaps because of the circumstances of his own childhood he had a way of relating to all he came in contact with, from the most august scholars at the University to its working staff. In many ways he felt closest to those who had not had his advantages and his luck, and to those who had not been surrounded by the same love and affection that he had always felt from his students, friends, and family.

Fu nera l s er v ice s were Tuesday, Januar y 22 at Orland’s Ewing Memorial Chapel, Ewing, with burial at Beth Israel Cemetery, Woodbridge. The period of mourning was observed that evening at the Itzkowitz residence in Princeton.

The family respectfully requests memorial contributions to a charity of the donor’s choice.

Mary Fedorko Mary Fedorko died peacefully in her sleep on January 15, 2019 in her home at Acorn Glen in Princeton, New Jersey. She was 95.

B o r n i n B e n s Cr e e k , Pennsylvania, Mary was the daughter of the late Michael and Mary (Kozemchak) Madaychik. As a young girl, Mary moved with her family to a farm on Union Road, Kingwood Township, New Jersey where she grew up.

She attended a one-room school on Union Road, followed by Frenchtown High School.

During World War II Mary served as a reporter for the Calco Diamond, a weekly newspaper of American Cyanamid in Bound Brook, NJ, doing interviews and special interest stories, many of them about Cyanamid employees serving in the war. She later reported and wrote for the Delaware Valley News in Frenchtown, NJ, and then contributed to I Remember: The Depression Years, 1929 -1941, published by The Hunterdon County Office on Aging. She was also an inveterate writer of letters-to-the-editor to protest, compliment, question, or praise. An avid lifelong learner, Mary was an active member of her local book group and took college classes into her 80s.

As a long-time resident of Kingwood Township, Mary served her community as a member of the Kingwood Board of Education; president of the Kingwood Township Parent Teachers Association; Brownie leader; member of the Frenchtown and Flemington Women’s Club; and the League of Women Voters. Because of the contact with teachers that it gave her, she loved her work with the Hunter-

don County Office of the New Jersey Department of Education, where she served as a Certification Consultant and secretary to the County Superintendent and the County Vocational Coordinator. Perhaps her greatest delight was serving as a hostess for over 100 Hunterdon County Adult Education tours across the United States and in Europe. Her role allowed her to travel w idely, lear ning eagerly about the places she visited and the people she met, including her fellow travelers.

Mary is predeceased by her beloved husband of 68 years, Nick Fedorko; sister Katherine Zelenski; brother Andrew Madaychik; halfbrot hers S amuel, Joh n, George, and Michael Hrychowian; and half-sisters Anne Lelo and Rose Felix.

She will be sorely missed by her daughter Kathy Fedorko and her husband Peter Macholdt of Hopewell, NJ; son Nick Fedorko, III and wife Sandra Zimmer Fedorko of Morgantown, W V; grandsons Evan Fedorko and his wife Rebecca Fedorko of Morgantown, WV, and Matt Fedorko and his wife Rachel Terman of Athens, OH; granddaughter Sarah Fedorko Macholdt of Philadelphia, PA ; greatgrandchildren Cormac, Elias, and Liadan Fedorko, and Juniper Fedorko Terman; many nieces and nephews; and dear friends.

A service to celebrate the life of Mary Fedorko will be held on Sunday, February 10, 2019 at 2 p.m. at t h e F l e m i n g ton B apt i s t Church, 170 Main Street,

Flemington, NJ 08822. Memorial contributions may be made to the Flemington Baptist Church.

Peter Allington Marks Peter Allington Marks, age 64, son of late Professor John H. and Aminta (Willis) Marks, died at home in Princeton, New Jersey, on Sunday morning, January 13th following a courageous battle with cancer.

Born December 8th, 1954 in Princeton Hospital and educated through high school in Princeton’s public school system, Peter graduated magna cum laude from Hamilton College in 1976 with a BA in Latin, and from Wharton Business School in 1981 with an MBA in Finance. He spent summers at the St. Lawrence River’s 1000 Islands where boats, games, and time with summer friends brought him great joy.

With a knack for numbers and problem solving, Peter spent the first ten years of his professional life in Manhattan at Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, followed by positions at Banker’s Trust, and Dillon, Read & Co., where he developed a keen understanding of real estate financing. Moving then to Florida, he honed his understanding of real estate development working as Project Partner for Trammell Crow Residential and later Aoki Corporation. Wanting more freedom to pursue his own projects, however, Peter opted in 1989 to do consulting and be self-employed.

While in Florida, Peter met his future wife, Mia Brownell

Williams, whom he regularly referred to as his wise counsel, skilled proofreader, and dearest friend. They accompanied each other for the next 30 years from Florida to Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and finally to Princeton, where on December 17th, 2018 they married.

Often skeptical of what many consider progress, Peter advocated for the preser vation and dignity of tradition. It was this perspective that led him to write numerous opinion pieces in the local papers, serve as Co-Chair of the Princeton Joint Revaluation Commission and member of the Borough’s Historic Preservation Review Committee and Housing Authority, and in 2016 run for mayor of Princeton. Dignified, humble, and loving, Peter will be fondly remembered.

Peter is survived by his wife, Mia Brownell Marks; his sister F leur ( Marks ) and William Rueckert and their children Cleveland and Grayson ( Hellmut h ) Rueckert, Elizabeth (Rueckert) and Patrick Henry, and Julia (Rueckert) and Brett Shannon, and their grandchildren Chase, Hailey, and Henry; and his brother John and Belle ( Potter) Marks and their children, Phoebe, Anna, and Eliza.

Services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, February 2, 2019, at the Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton.

Spend a vacation week on the Sonoma Coast at award-winning Sea Ranch, an environmental community roughly 100 miles north of San Francisco.

Four Princeton Reunion couples (8 people total) want to arrange for reunion housing from May 30 through June 2, 2019, ideally within walking distance of campus.

In exchange, we are offering a vacation for up to a week at our Sea Ranch home. The house sits on the hillside with beautiful views of the Pacific, sleeps 10, has a fully furnished kitchen, a hot tub, internet access, and guest passes so visitors can enjoy all facilities, trails, and recreational activities — including golf, tennis, and swimming. The visit can be arranged at a mutually convenient time in 2019.

Here are two links describing Sea Ranch and an exhibit on its history currently at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: www.sonomacounty.com/cities/sea-ranch • www.sfmoma.org/exhibition/sea-ranch If interested, please contact Tom Cooper, Princeton ’69, at (650) 808-0933 or tcooper@pcgfrim.com to discuss details and timing.

WINTER FREEZING PROBLEMS With the Artic freeze that just rolled in, it’s not too late to take some precautions that can help protect your home and your family, potentially avoiding cold weather damage.

Keep your pipes warm. Burst pipes = big dollars! Wrap the pipes in the cold parts of your house in insulation, and open kitchen and bathroom cabinets to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes. Also, let water drip slowly from the faucets to help keep the water flowing.

Protect the outside of your house. If you have time, clean your gutters so water doesn’t back up and freeze.

Check downspouts and make sure water will be diverted away from your house. Trim any low -hanging tree branches that can freeze, become brittle, snap and damage your house or power lines. Use weather-stripping or caulk to seal drafty windows and doors.

Check your roof. If a lot of snow accumulates, your roof could collapse -- especially flat roofs or the roof over porches and additions. You shouldn’t have a problem with average accumulations or very dry snow. But if heavy snow starts to build up, consider getting a roof rake with a long handle so you can remove packed snow while you are on the ground. Going on the roof to shovel it yourself could damage the roof (and possibly you, too).
