Bayard Rustin Center Opens Its Doors, Seeks Social Justice for All

In the spirit of the legendary civil rights leader Bayard Rustin, whose homosexuality caused him to face intense discrimination during his lifetime, the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice (BRC), settling into its new home on Wiggins Street behind the HiTOPS building, is reaching out to provide support to all who seek its services. Remodeled as a community space for gatherings, the BRC will be hosting a panel presentation tonight, January 30, at 6:30-8:30 p.m on LGBTQI Cultural Competencies, including information about language and definition of terms associated with the LGBTQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex) community — just one of many events planned for the new center. “I wanted our kids and families to have open space to have rainbow dances, screenings, lectures, workshops, and symposiums,” said BRC Founder and Chief Activist Robt Seda-Schreiber. “I want it to be a community activist center and a safe space for all.” Sponsored by the BRC, the Princeton Public Library, PFLAG Princeton, and HiTOPS, tonight’s session, moderated by Seda-Schreiber, will include discussion of definitions of sexual orientation and gender identity and how the two interact; a primer on pronouns; the LGBTQI experience, hetero-normativity, gender binary, and privilege; changing our systems, policies, and procedures to be inclusive and non-binary; and how to be a good ally to the LGBTQI community. Panelists will include HiTOPS Program Manager Alex Aikens, PFLAG/TNET Princeton member Michele Mazakas, and others. “This is about how we name ourselves and each other,” said Seda-Schreiber. “It’s about who we are and making sure we see no one else as the other. We do this by listening and asking questions.” “We need a place where all can come and move forward together,” states the BRC website www.rustincenter.org, “galvanizing each other to be and to do our best, to be our most loving and most understanding selves, both individually and collectively.” It continues, “We need an environment wherein kids (and adults) will learn and Continued on Page 10

Council Tables Witherspoon Parking Ordinance Having received numerous emails and listened to concerns from business owners and residents about an ordinance which would make meters along Witherspoon Street in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood available for all-day parking, Princeton Council opted to delay discussion and action on the measure. Several members of the public took to the microphone at Council’s meeting on Monday, January 28, to air their views about the proposal. Additional topics included the delay in restoration of Dinky service, and a bill, scheduled for Senate vote, that would give public utilities and cable companies the authority to cut down trees on public and private properties during extreme weather events. Regarding the Witherspoon Street parking ordinance, Mayor Liz Lempert said a public hearing is still set for February 11, but action would not be taken at that time. “The reason why we are doing this is to help our businesses,” she said. “It helps to hear from all of you when we aren’t helping. It helps to hear there has to be turnover in that section. We issued a public notice for the ordinance hearing next month. So we will still hold that

public hearing, but we won’t act on the ordinance when it comes up.” Part of the controversial parking overhaul that has been the subject of much discussion, the Witherspoon Street meters currently allow parking for three hours. Making them available for all day, likely to be taken by employees of businesses on Nassau and neighboring streets, would have a negative effect on Witherspoon Street businesses. Jackie Fay, owner of the Grit + Polish beauty

salon at 160 Witherspoon Street, said that if short-term parking is taken away, her customers will have nowhere to park. “I understand the big parking problems in the uptown section, but your ordinance will barely make a dent in things, affecting 30 spaces while forcing me and others out of business,” she said. The parking spots would be taken by 9 a.m., well before her salon’s peak hours of 12 to 5 p.m. “As of now, my business requires five to seven Continued on Page 11

Princeton Fire Department Plans To Combat Dwindling Volunteerism With the numbers of volunteers in a steady decline over the past several years, Princeton may be heading away from an all-volunteer fire department to a combination of paid and volunteer firefighters. In the coming months the Princeton Council will be considering proposals to hire personnel to help support the declining numbers of volunteer firefighters, according to Princeton Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield. “We’re having problems getting volun-

teers,” said Robert Gregory, Princeton director of emergency services. “There’s been a significant drop in numbers.” Gregory cited several challenges facing the fire department, including young, inexperienced drivers; lack of available affordable housing, with many volunteers living out of town and being unable to respond quickly; and Princeton being a town with over 50 percent professional people and travelers who are often not home. “We’re not the only town that faces this,” Gregory said. He pointed out that Continued on Page 4

HELPING IN HOPEWELL: Over 100 volunteers gave back to the community at the third annual Martin Luther King Day of Service at Hopewell Presbyterian Church on January 21, organized by Hopewell Central High School teens Sarah Cleveland, Sam Fowler, and Gavin Fowler. Among them were these young volunteers who made 19 full-sized fleece blankets for the Rescue Mission of Trenton. Several local nonprofits benefitted from the efforts.

the number of volunteer firefighters has dropped over the past few years from 50-60 to only about 24-25. “Every community is dealing with this,” Dashield said. “Many surrounding communities have gone to some sort of partially-paid arrangement for firefighters.” Gregory pointed out that “a robust mutual aid plan,” with other area fire companies supporting Princeton, does pick up the slack to ensure adequate fire protection. Princeton currently has three fire companies — Princeton Engine Co. 1, Mercer Engine Co. 3, and Princeton Hook and Ladder Co. — all operating out of one location on Witherspoon Street across from the municipal building. Gregory, who has been meeting with Dashield, the fire chief, and the three fire company presidents, says that one focus has been on more effective recruiting — teaming up with a recruiting company, identifying eligible 20-40-year-olds in the community, and developing strategies to increase the pool of volunteers. “The University is a great support,” he said, noting that more than 30 University employees respond to calls, but they are usually available only during the daytime. He noted that nighttime and weekends are problematic. “Demographics drive the volunteer levels,” Gregory stated, explaining the need for short-term and long-term plans. “We need to decide at what point we need to transition to paid firefighters.” With specific plans not yet formulated, Gregory and Dashield both declined to suggest possible costs to the town in moving away from an all-volunteer fire department. —Donald Gilpin

dens Distinguished Speaker s S er ie s ai m s to lu re patrons with talks and visuals about how the other half lives — or lived. From Post cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post’s three spectacular homes, including the now famous Mar-aLago, to Morven itself, the series provides a kind of “armchair travel,” said Jill Barry, Morven’s executive director.

TOPICS Of the Town “It’s the drabbest part of winter, and this is a way into not only beautiful gardens, but beautiful homes that epitomize their sense of space and place,” she said. “We are hoping this is a success, and that every winter we can bring another series together.” The programs begin Thursday, February 21 with a presentation and book signing by Kate Markert, executive director of Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, one of Post’s homes located in Washington, D.C. Next is a behind-the-scenes look at the lavish public garden Chanticleer, by Executive Director and Head Gardener R. William “Bill” Thomas, on Februar y 26. The series continues March 5 with “Reimagining Morven & Its Historic Gardens” by Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Elizabeth Allan and Horticulturist Pam Ruch. Programs conclude March 12 with “Hamptons Houses & Gardens of The Gilded Age,” presented by architect and historian Gary Lawrance. Barry was inspired to create the series after seeing how popular a similar program was at Hillwood. “I had known Kate [Markert] for a very long time, and I knew how successful this was at Hillwood,” she said.

“It was about the legacies of great houses, which sounded like something that made a lot of sense to translate to both Morven and Princeton. The story of Hillwood is so lovely, so we start with that. Marjorie Merriweather Post was the epitome of gracious Continued on Next Page

living. It sets the tone for the series.” Hillwood has been running a Great Homes and Gardens program each February for several years. The estate has 13 acres of formal gardens, which Post had redesigned and redone when she purchased the 25acre estate in 1955. “Hillwood is the culmination of all of her favorite things and all of her homes,” said H i l l w o o d s p o ke s p e r s o n Lynn Rossotti. “She knew she was going to leave it as a museum. It is very much reflective of the way it was when she was here.” In addition to Mar-a-Lago, where she spent the winter months, Post owned Top Ridge, a camp in the Adirondacks where she lived dur ing the summer. Her time at Hillwood is defined not only by the gardens, but also the objects she collected. “In the 1930s, she found that the Russians were divesting themselves of many of their great treasures,” Rossotti said. “She found that they were very much in line with what she loved about French decorative arts, so she got into Russian imperial art. Hillwood reflects both of these passions and her gracious way of living.” The evening focused on Chanticleer will be a visual tour of the former home of the Rosengarten family. The famous garden located in Wayne, Pa., is known for its residential-scale plant combinations and “is a study of textures and forms, where fol iag e t r u mp s f lowe r s, the gardeners lead the design, and even the drinking fountains are sculptural,” according to its website. Thomas’s book, The Art of Gardening: Design Inspiration and Innovative Planting Techniques from Chanticleer, will be available for sale and signing at the February 26 event. At the program on Morven, Allan and Ruch will share how the house and gardens evolved under each family that lived there. They will begin with Annis Boudinot Stockton (18th century) and cont inue w it h Harriet Potter Stockton (19th century), Helen Hamilton Stockton (20th centur y), and continue up through the more recent influence of Robert Wood Johnson II and Governor Walter Edge. The final program is “an illustrated journey and brief history of the great summer resort homes that made the Hamptons one of the premiere resorts of glamour, luxur y, and architectural achievement,” according to a press release. Lawrance’s book on the subject will be available for sale and signing. The houses to be discussed include Wooldon M a n o r, h o m e o f J e s s e Woolworth Donahue; Black Point, the H.H. Rogers mansion; Bayberry Land, the du Ponts’ Chestertown House; and The Orchard, which was designed by Stanford White. “The series has come together nicely, and it forms a nice narrative,” said Barry. “I think it’s perfect for Morven and for Princeton.” Visit morven.org for infor mation about tickets. Morven is at 55 Stockton Street. —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:

“How has the Dinky train’s closure affected your commute?” (Asked at Princeton Station) (Photographs by Erica M. Cardenas)

“This trip the bus was on time, but in the past we’ve had problems where the bus didn’t run when it said it was supposed to.” —Kevin Ciotta, New York City

“It has been a little bit longer in the morning to New York/ Penn Station. It’s the rush hour which fluctuates. The buses can be late and Alexander Road gets congested. All and all the commute hasn’t been too bad.” —Michael Evanovich, Princeton

Jennifer: “We usually take the train from Trenton to Princeton. However, since the Dinky isn’t running, we decided to drive. We parked at the Wawa and took Tiger Transit to McCarter Theatre.” —Kyria and Jennifer Johnson, Trenton

“I’m an international student, so I usually fly out of Newark and rely on the Dinky to go to the airport. But the biggest problem I’ve experienced is when I’m looking up train times coming from New York to Princeton. You have to wait about 14 minutes to get on a bus from Princeton Junction to Princeton because the train and bus times do not match up.” —Jonathan Balkind, Glasgow, Scotland

“Round trip it takes an hour longer. I’m commuting from Princeton to New York City every day. The bus comes on time, but the commute from here to the station and then coming back takes too long because of the traffic and the narrow street.” —Chandra Nukala, Princeton

P rofiles i n e ducation Music Teacher Alex Mitnick: Nurturing Potential and Igniting Passion “We nurture potential and seek to ignite each child’s passion,” states the Princeton Montessori School’s (PM) website. “That’s exactly what happened to me,” said PM Music Teacher and Emmy Award-winner Alex Mitnick, who also has his own TV show, Alex & The Kaleidoscope, on New York City Public TV. “I was in an environment with a school director who allowed me to do what I wanted to do, and it really did ignite a passion that I have for music and kids,” he continued. “I don’t know if it would have happened anywhere else. I’m able to write songs and produce shows in my little laboratory here, and that slogan informs all the work I do.” In his 19th year at PM and currently teaching music to students from third grade through middle school, Mitnick is working on an original musical about the life of Maria Montessori to celebrate the 50th anniversary of PM. The musical,

which will debut on April 12 and 13, involves the entire school, Mitnick said. “Alex is a treasure and a truly talented individual who brings music, theater, and other performing arts to our school community, while also leading a world renowned children’s group, Alex & The Kaleidoscope Band,” said PM Head Michelle Morrison. “He serves as our music coordinator and instructs our singing groups, drumming circle, guitar players, and directs and writes our original annual musicals. We are very fortunate to have his talents and passion.” Mitnick, 43, explained that music has always been present in his life. Though not professional musicians, both his parents loved music. His mother sang in community theater groups and played the piano, and his father, an architect, played the guitar. They always had a piano in the house. Mitnick took up the trumpet in fifth grade, then

started guitar and percussion in high school in Montgomery County, Pa., where he grew up. He enjoyed the high school band, jazz band, and chorus, and especially enjoyed jamming with friends. “Toward the end of high school, I started to experience music as a powerful force for me as an individual, almost like a healing thing for me,” he said. “It gave me power.” After two years at Penn State, officially studying science and engineering but unofficially playing guitar and drums every day and jamming with friends, Mitnick decided to pursue his future in music. “Once the illusion of following an engineering and science career faded, music was what remained,” he said. He auditioned for the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where his father was an architecture professor, and, on his second try, was accepted. “Once I got there, my life changed dramatically,” Mitnick recalled. “I cut all my hair off and got very serious. I realized that it’s one thing to play music with your friends at a party, but it’s another thing to play classic or jazz at a high level. I dove headfirst into four more years of music in college, where I practiced four, five, or six hours a day, and I studied with amazing teachers.” In addition to his guitar

IGNITING PASSION: Princeton Montessori School (PM) Music Teacher Alex Mitnick takes an unconventional approach to music education, engaging his students with lots of movement, drumming, rock bands, and the opportunity to create songs and musical productions of their own. When he’s not at PM, Mitnick, an Emmy Award-winning children’s performer, can most likely be found working on his own TV show, “Alex & The Kaleidoscope.” (Photo courtesy of Alex Mitnick) playing, Mitnick also developed his vocal abilities, singing in the university’s madrigal choir, joining a barbershop quartet, and performing with the choir of the Philadelphia Orchestra. “I learned more about music singing a cappella than I learned in all my years studying guitar,” he said. “Being able to sing in tune, to sightread a melody, to understand what music is all about with the only instrument being your brain and your voice.” Graduation brought Mitnick to another transition in his life. “Suddenly I’m competing with my professors for the same jobs,” he said. And after a year or two of finding work performing at the Walnut Street Theater, casinos in Atlantic City, clubs on the Main Line, and various jobs elsewhere, Mitnick realized, “I really wanted something much deeper about music. I completely switched directions to fall madly in love with sacred Hindu chanting,” and that’s what brought him to Princeton, where a friend was playing the tabla and exploring the world of Indian music.

He continued, “I was searching, but a little bit lost, not being clear about what I wanted to do with music. I needed something I could pour my heart and soul into.” Mitnick rented a farmhouse in Hillsborough with a friend, and for almost three years he toured, promoting and facilitating sacred Eastern music. Needing a paying job, he sent his resume around to private schools, and soon found himself teaching preschool at PM. One year later he was in charge of music for the whole school, preschool through eighth grade. “I discovered that I was a very good teacher, and I could relate to children in a fun, relaxing way. I started developing my own program for the elementary and middle school kids, where the most important thing was for them to have the same powerful experience with music that I’d had.” Taking a nontraditional approach to music education, Mitnick infused his classes with “tons of movement and drumming.

instruments, and I started a rock band with the middle schoolers,” he said. “The kids fell in love with music and the music class was one of their favorite times of day.” About 15 years ago, Mitnick built a small recording studio in the Hillsborough farmhouse, and he and a friend started writing songs for children. They started a summer camp, where they wrote a musical for the kids to perform. “We loved the experience,” he said. “There was no limit on how we could stylize the music. As long as it was catchy, the kids loved it. We all loved the freedom.” The musicals eventually turned into Mitnick’s first album Kaleidoscope Songs Number One in 2004, and a Parents’ Choice Award, one of many awards that he has received. Many concerts, CD sales, and five original CDs later, Mitnick is now working on his seventh children’s music CD. Another breakthrough came in 2014, when New York City’s public TV station offered Mitnick the opportunity to produce a TV show. He was able to produce six 30-minute original TV shows called Alex & the Kaleidoscope, where he is the host and he takes the viewers around to museums, zoos, and on other adventures. “We walk around, learn a lot, and integrate original music with the fun facts. You might learn something about recycling, and then there’s a fun recycling song and music video that goes with it.” In the meantime, Mitnick is working on developing another music-focused show and doing lots of teaching at PM, three or four days a week. He also teaches in Philadelphia and New York public schools as an artist in residence, “teaching them my original music, then they perform with me in a final assembly, which is really fun.” Mitnick lives in Doylestown, Pa., with his wife Molly, who owns a yoga studio and is getting a master’s degree in counseling psychology. They have two young children with a third expected in May. “As difficult as a life in the arts can be, it’s fulfilling,” Mitnick said. “I wake up every day and do something that I like. I feel blessed.” —Donald Gilpin

parking spaces in the afternoon, Wednesday through Saturday, to meet my customers’ needs,” she added. “It is not reasonable to expect people in pedi slippers to walk long distances to their cars.” Fay suggested the town use an open lot on Franklin Street for all-day parking until the lot is turned into a site for affordable housing two years from now. Resident Leighton Newlin did not share enthusiasm for that idea. Instead, he said, the town might consider allowing employees of local businesses to park in a Princeton University lot on Washington Street and take shuttle buses to Nassau Street. “The Witherspoon Street corridor is as integral to the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood as Nassau Street is to the central business district,” he said. “Why the municipality feels the need to help provide employee parking for businesses, I’m not really sure why. It should not be at the cost of negatively impacting another district, especially the WitherspoonJackson historic district, which has retail traffic and parking needs of its own.” Former Princeton Borough Mayor Yina Moore said the town has disregarded neighborhoods in the study and planning of the parking overhaul. No officials have attended the meetings of the Witherspoon- Jackson neighborhood association to get input, she said, adding, “I’m as concerned about the process as I am about the outcome.”

Princeton resident John Heilner asked that Council take into account the day laborers who wait for work each day in front of a business on Witherspoon Street. If the parking spaces in front of the store are taken, then potential employers would not be able to pull over to confer with them about working, he said. The Dinky NJ Transit announced last week that the Dinky train, which connects Princeton to Princeton Junction on the Northeast Corridor train line, will not be restored until “the second quarter of 2019,” because of “a continuing shortage of locomotive engineers, as well as equipment availability, as Positive Train Control (PTC) installations, maintenance, inspections, and testing continues.” Since October, the trains have been replaced by buses, which lengthen the trip. The line was originally projected to be back in service by mid-January. Lempert and Assemblyman Daniel R. Benson and Assemblyman Roy Freiman have been trying to convince NJ Transit of the urgency of restoring the service, especially since a portion of Alexander Street is scheduled to be closed on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. starting February 14, to allow for work by PSE&G, Comcast, and Verizon. Lempert said she is particularly frustrated by the news that the 10 percent discount that commuters have been given during the shutdown is to be discontinued January 31, while the 25 percent discount given to

commuters in Atlantic City, where another closure is in place, will continue. “It just isn’t fair,” she said. “I welcome everybody to call NJ Transit” to complain. At a press conference earlier in the day, Lempert said she had heard from Benson’s office that a formal request was being made to keep the 10 percent discount in place for Dinky passengers. Tree Bill Council sent a letter to Senator Kip Bateman urging him to vote against the Vegetation Management Response Act. The bill would give public utilities and cable companies full authority, without complying with municipal laws, to cut down trees and shrubs if they are disrupting electric power supply during extreme weather events. The Assembly recently passed the bill and it is scheduled for Senate vote later this week. Lempert said earlier on Monday that the bill has been hanging around for years but recently picked up steam. “Trees are one of the things that give Princeton a sense of place,” she said. “It’s hard to believe there is full understanding of the impacts.” At the meeting, she added, “This is a huge concern to Princeton. We’re hoping to help raise awareness in other communities as well.” —Anne Levin

Chinese Lunar New Year Is the Year of the Pig

In the 12-year cycle of animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac, 2019 is the Year of the Pig. Zodiac signs play an important role in Chinese culture, and can be used to determine fortune for the year, marriage compatibility, career fit, and even the best times to have a baby. Predictions aside, the annual celebration of Chinese Lunar New Year is a chance for sampling food, games, music, martial arts, and colorful pageantry related to Chinese heritage. The official start of the year is February 5, but local and regional celebrations of the holiday start on February 1 and run through February 17. Princeton High School’s Mandarin class and the school’s Chinese club will host a celebration at Princeton Public Library on Saturday, February 2 from 2 to 4 p.m. Open to all, the party includes activities for all ages including traditional music and instruments, martial arts, calligraphy, painting, dance, origami, and crafts. Plainsboro Library is marking the Year of the Pig with a two-day festival on Saturday and Sunday, February 9 and 10. Look for a dragon dance team from the Huaxia Chinese School, music, calligraphy, Chinese knotting displays, games, and more. The activities begin Saturday at 12 p.m. with a reception for artist Jun Zhang, whose watercolors depict scenes of the Forbidden City in Beijing as well as portraits of senior citizens from the Xinjang Uygur region of China. Librarian Joyce Huang has been in on the planning of the celebration. Growing up in New York City and spending some 15 years in Taiwan, Huang is familiar with her cultural heritage. “I’ve gone through a lot of the reunion dinners, which is one of the things we do,” she said. “This is the biggest holiday in China, and usually lasts for two weeks. The family gets together, and the reunion din-

ner is New Year’s Eve. You eat certain things like fish, which is a symbol for prosperity.” The new year is also a time for buying new clothes and doing spring cleaning. “Children usually get a red envelope that generally has money inside,” said Huang. “We’ll have envelopes for the kids at the library, but they’ll have candy in them instead of money.” Plainsboro Librar y has been marking Chinese New Year for about 15 years. “I believe we were the first library in this area to celebrate it,” said Huang. “We try to cater to our non-Chinese population as well as Chinese, and it has become a very popular event.” In Philadelphia, Chinese New Year observances range from cooking demonstrations, calligraphy, and crafts at Reading Terminal Market to learning how to create a lunar calendar from artist Ash Limes Castellana at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Night owls can welcome in the year at Midnight Lion Dance performance by the Philadelphia Suns at 11:30 p.m. on Monday, February 4, starting at 10th and Race streets in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood. At Philadelphia’s Rail Park at 13th and Noble streets, modeled after New York’s High Line, a Lunar New Year Open is Saturday, February 9 from 12 to 4 p.m. This event is all about the food, with dumplings, noodles, and egg rolls for visitors. The Philadelphia Suns are back at it with a Lion Dance; the group also performs at the Chinatown parade on Sunday, February 10. That event is held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. New York City rings in the Year of the Pig at the annual parade and festival on Sunday, February 17 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. in that city’s Chinatown. The procession starts at Mott and Canal streets. Visit betterchinatown.com for specific details. —Anne Levin

Arts Council Thanks Community Partners For Making MLK Day Event “Truly Special”

To the Editor: On January 21, the Arts Council of Princeton welcomed our community to the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts for a series of discussions and activities in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I am writing to extend my sincere thanks to our community partners who helped put the day together, and to all the attendees who made the day truly special. The day began with a community breakfast, sponsored by Princeton University, which featured speakers Reverend Lukata Mjumbe, pastor of the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, and Tracy K. Smith, poet laureate and professor and director of creative writing at Princeton University. In their own unique ways, they provided the audience with challenging, yet uplifting, interpretations of the meaning of the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr. and why we hold a day of celebration in his honor. Following the breakfast, community members of all ages enjoyed art activities presented by local organizations. The Historical Society of Princeton, JaZams, and the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice all contributed to make it a thoughtful, interesting, and art-filled morning. At the same time, participants completed a collaborative mural and the Princeton Family YWCA sponsored a successful canned food drive to benefit HomeFront. The event concluded with a phenomenal performance by the First Baptist Church Choir. To have over 100 members of our community singing and dancing in our Solley Theater was the perfect way to end such a meaningful day. My final thanks goes to the staff of the Arts Council, who once again produced a fantastic event, enabling us to bring together friends, neighbors, and strangers to share the life and lessons of a great American. JIM LEVINE Arts Council of Princeton

Proposing Creation of a Partnership To Run the Dinky As It Should Be Run

To the Editor: Given how valuable the Dinky is to our community, how can we accept the fact that New Jersey's public transportation company has found it to be too small to matter? Is it not time for those of us who cherish it to alleviate NJ Transit's pain by stepping up and creating a public private partnership to run the Dinky as it should be run?

A Message for Residents Who Are Putting Recyling in Plastic Bags

To the Editor: As an environmentalist, when I walk around different Princeton neighborhoods I’m really depressed to see how many people are making the mistake of putting their recycling in plastic bags, or lining their recycling bins with plastic bags. PLASTIC BAGS CONTAMINATE THE RECYCLING STREAM, ensuring that many of the recyclable cans, bottles, No. 1 and 2 plastic containers and paper go instead to a landfill. When people put their recycling in plastic, they are undoing not only their own good work in taking the trouble to segregate recyclables and put them out for collection, but that of their neighbors. PLASTIC BAGS MUST NOT BE PUT IN WITH RECYCLING THAT IS COLLECTED CURBSIDE. Plastic bags can be recycled separately in 17 locations in Princeton that are listed on Sustainable Princeton’s website. Residents who generate more recycling than their current buckets can hold can get up to four more FREE at the Department of Public Works, 27 North Harrison Street (behind the fire house), Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Please neighbors, I know you are trying to do the right thing; don’t make this one fatal mistake!

With Organics Collection Suspended, Resident Wants to Revive Plan Proposed Three Years Ago

To the Editor: When the county tapped Princeton to pilot curbside collection of organics back in 2011, I was skeptical, despite being a strong supporter of environmental initiatives in town. It seemed inefficient — the heavy truck chasing down green carts scattered around town, the hour-long drive to distant composting centers struggling to stay open, the considerable staff time spent promoting and coordinating. I was less than impressed because I knew there was a better way, having lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There, yardwaste is collected in rollcarts with double or triple the capacity of the small green rollcarts used for Princeton’s organics. The large rollcarts accommodate not only leaves, sticks, and clippings from the garden, but also any foodscraps residents wish to toss in. It’s all collected once a week, and the foodscraps are so diluted that they are barely noticeable in the windrows of composting yardwaste just outside the city. Three years ago, I worked with Princeton staff, a council member, and a representative of the Princeton Environmental Commission to develop a pilot collection in town that would emulate the Ann Arbor approach. At first, only yardwaste would be collected, but the rollcarts would make it possible to later add in foodscraps as well. The collection would require only an inexpensive “tipper hook” retrofit of a truck in order to piggyback on Princeton’s existing collection of yardwaste bags. Throughout the planning process, I had to counter misinformation being generated about the cost and practicality of such an approach. In a stunning setback, the carefully crafted proposal was rejected by the public works committee, in part because some in town government saw it as a threat to or distrac-

tion from Princeton’s heavy investment in the curbside organics program. Now that organics collection has been suspended, it’s time to revive the proposal we put together three years ago, and not only because of its potential for solving the foodwaste collection problem. Princeton’s streets are littered year-round with small piles of yardwaste that hinder parking and obstruct bicyclists. The 64-96 gallon rollcarts used in Ann Arbor and elsewhere provide a means to containerize this mess and keep streets free of debris most of the year. This time around, I’d suggest that a pilot program serve interested residents who live on busy streets, where loose yardwaste on the pavement is particularly dangerous. With minimal expense, the rollcarts will augment existing use of yardwaste bags, and many residents will find the rollcarts much easier to fill and move around than the single-use bags. If successful, the large rollcarts would be made available town-wide. For those losing curbside organics service, it will be hard to go back to mixing trash and food scraps. The greenest approach of all for vegetable scraps is backyard composting. Google “wishing the earth well” for a fun, critter-proof composter design I’ve been demonstrating in my front yard on Harrison Street. But curbside collection has its appeal. Princeton’s setback offers an opportunity to expand our thinking, emulate other’s success, and solve multiple problems. STEPHEN K. HILTNER North Harrison Street

RECORD REVIEW

Love and Sorrow and Haunted Reveries: Listening to Eddie Lang on the Eve of Schubert’s Birthday Through long, long years I sang my songs. But when I wished to sing of love it turned to sorrow, and when I wanted to sing of sorrow it was transformed for me into love. — Franz Schubert (1797-1828), from “My Dream” f the metaphor popularized in the 1934 tune “Zing Went the Strings of My Heart” is on my mind, it isn’t because tomorrow, January 31, is the 222nd birthday of Franz Schubert, it’s because I’ve been listening to a Jazz Age guitarist from Philadelphia named Eddie Lang (1902-1933). What happens when Lang plucks the guitar strings, each note crystal clear, shining and separate, expresses something like the ebb and flow of love and sorrow Schubert muses on in “My Dream,” which was written in 1822 when he was 25 and had only six years to live. Lang was 25 in 1927 and had less than six years to live when he recorded much of the music that’s been haunting me for the past week, thanks to A Handful of Riffs, a CD with liner notes rightly referring to Lang as “one of the great originals,” the first to give the guitar “real soul in jazz.” The heartstrings metaphor seems less banal when you put it together with a lyric about “a melody that haunted me from the start,” when “something inside of me started a symphony,” and “all nature seemed to be in perfect harmony.” And surely there’s nothing to be ashamed of in a line like “Your eyes made skies seem blue again,” especially when sung on YouTube by a glowing sixteen-year-old Judy Garland a year before The Wizard of Oz. Amazements After being transported 80 years in an instant to a luminous moment from a forgotten film, you feel like saying, along with filmmaker Jonas Mekas, “Have you ever thought about how amazing, really amazing, life is?” James Leland quotes the line twice in his Sunday New York Times story about Mekas, who died January 23. And if you grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, “how amazing, really amazing” to find that “Zing Went the Strings of My Heart” was composed, both words and music, by a fellow Hoosier named Jimmy Hanley (1892-1942), who also gave us “Indiana,” the unofficial state song popularly known as “Back home again in Indiana” where “the candlelight is still burning bright.” The Stardust of a Song Growing up in Hoagy Carmichael’s

hometown meant living in the afterglow of “Stardust,” the song that made him famous. True to Mitchell Parrish’s lyric about dreaming of a song whose “melody haunts my reverie,” Hoagy haunted Bloomington. His piano was on display at the same campus hang-out where legend has it he discovered “the stardust of a song.” On my way home from school, I often walked past his boyhood home a few blocks from where I lived. He and Eddie Lang were bandmates, by the way. That’s Hoagy playing piano with Lang’s Orchestra on A Handful of Riffs, and while life’s amazingness has its limits, I can imagine a touch of Hoagy in the occasional eerie intimations of ragtime in Schubert’s songs, for example “In Spring,” when the pianist takes a stroll after the second verse, and “The Youth at the Well,” with its “how-dry-I-am” proto Jazz Age postlude. Bing’s Best Friend Schubert’s dream of love turning to sorrow and sorrow to l o v e c o u l d caption the stor y of Eddie Lang, born Salvatore Massaro in the Little Italy of South Philly, where October 23 is Eddie Lang Day. Near his birthplace at 7th and Fitzwater is a memorial marker and a stunning mural that shows him seated, guitar in hand, among the jazz and blues luminaries he performed with, including Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, and Lonnie Johnson, and Joe Venuti. Smiling behind him is Bing Crosby, whose name comes up whenever the subject turns to the love Lang inspired, as a person and a player. Gary Giddins makes the point in A Pocketful of Dreams, the first volume of his biography of Crosby: “Lang was quiet, thoughtful, responsible” and “one of the few people in Bing’s life to get beyond the role of a jester or playmate and become a genuine confidant. He was Bing’s most intimate friend, almost certainly the closest he would ever have.” In the newly published second volume, The War Years, Giddins give a terse, telling impression of the lasting lifelong impact

Lang’s untimely death had on Crosby: “no one got too close; no one got all of him.” What particularly tormented Crosby was that he’d advised his friend to have the operation, a seemingly routine tonsillectomy, that proved fatal when Lang, in Bing’s words, “developed an embolism and died without regaining consciousness.” Music Unbound For a long time I didn’t bother to look up the title of the piece of music that first made me want to write about Eddie Lang. I liked not knowing what it was called or where it came from. I figured Lang must be the composer, since he played it with such an intimate, personal depth of feeling. I found myself thinking it, whistling it, humming it, as if the melody were unbound in time and space and I was a human aeolian harp picking up something that might date all the way back to Schubert. Actually, the sound of Viennese zithers can be heard in Lang’s “April Kisses” and “Rainbow Dreams.” As for the mystery song, given only as “Jeannine” on the CD’s track list, the full title is “Jeannine, I Dream of Lilac Time.” The music was composed by Nathaniel Shilkret, and featured in the score of one of Gary Cooper’s first mainstream features, Lilac Time (1928). Rapport Vic Bellerby’s liner notes for A Handful of Riffs refer to “the wonderful rapport” between Lang and “the great guitarist-blues singer” Lonnie Johnson, with whom Lang played under the pseudonym Blind Willie Dunn. The epitome of rapport, of “being there” in the best sense, is evident whether Lang is accompanying Bessie Smith or the torch singer Ruth Etting in a film clip from a 1932 short A Regular Trouper. The scene takes place on a train. Etting is in her compartment feeling low when someone tells her, “I’ll bring Eddie in. He’ll cheer you up. Hey Eddie, come on in and bring that music box along.” Lang strolls into the compartment playing his “music box,” and sits down across from

Etting, who cheers up as soon as she sees him. As she sings “Without That Man,” there’s a sense of musical compatibility beyond sympathy, much of the sequence being shot over his shoulder, she’s looking at him, he’s become the man in the song, and after strumming the concluding chord, he walks out of the compartment in the manner of an enlightened servant who has provided a moment of happiness to someone in need. The same phenomenon is writ large in a scene between Crosby and Lang in The Big Broadcast of 1932. As Eddie sits impassively playing in the foreground, Bing leans on the piano rehearsing “Please,” a new song he’s been learning. Telling Eddie “I think I know it,” Bing does some ebullient scatting as he prepares to go out. A hint of the rapport, the comfort level, between the the singer and the player is in the way Crosby fumbles slightly, naturally, humanly, as he slips on a vest and then a jacket, singing the song again, loving it, loving the moment, looking at Lang as he sings, “Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of an angel white as snow,” which he follows with a burst of virtuoso whistling before finishing the song. Bing says, “Well I’ll see ya tonight,” and Eddie says, “Okay.” I would imagine Crosby found scenes like that one hard to look at after March 26, 1933. Love, Death, and Sorrow chubert “sang continuously” during the last days of his life, according to the baritone Dietrich FischerDieskau’s biographical study, Schubert’s Songs (Knopf 1997). The songs the dying composer was singing would have been from his song cycle Winterreise since he was working on the proof of the second part in November 1828. Like the dream he wrote down in his journal six years before, his theme was love and sorrow. Although there is still scholarly disagreement about whether or not Schubert owned or played a guitar, I’d like to think he had one handy in that closet of a room above Frau von Bogner’s coffee house in Vienna, something he could play while singing the last lines of “The Hurdy-Gurdy Man”: “Strange old man, shall I go with you?/Will you grind your organ to my songs?” ——— “My Dream” can be found in Franz Schubert’s Letters and Other Writings (Books for Libraries Press 1970). —Stuart Mitchner

The Princeton University Choral Department presents a special performance by the Princeton University Chamber Choir of Gioachino Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle (Little Solemn Mass) on Saturday, February 23, at 7:30 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall. One of only a handful of larger works that Rossini did not write for the opera house, the 80-minute composition is scored modestly for small choir, two pianos, and harmonium. The unusual instrumentation of the work is a reflection of the intimate salon setting for which it was written. “For me, this piece reveals Rossini at his most charming, and his most affecting,” said director Gabriel Crouch. “By the time of its composition he was an old man living in semiretirement just outside Paris, and his music had gained a little more sobriety than we find in the opera buffa of his younger years — but he was never able to take himself entirely seriously as will be immediately obvious to our audience.” Tickets for this performance are free, available at www. music.princeton.edu or by calling (609) 258-9220.

Selected in PUC’s audience survey as one of the community’s most beloved chamber music works, the hour-long octet will be the only piece of music performed at these concerts, which also feature onstage seating for its listeners as well as special lighting.

The largest in scale of any of Schubert’s chamber works, and written during the same period as the composer’s Rosamunde and Death and the Maiden string quartets, his Octet for Winds & Strings was written as a prelude to composing a full-scale symphonic work.

Winter Exhibitions at Center for Contemporary Art

Rauschenberg’s Currents

The Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster has two new exhibitions on view through March 2. “The National Association of Women Artists 130th Anniversary Exhibition: Wall Sculpture,” features the work of Harriet FeBland, Danielle Frankenthal, Maureen Kelleher, and Natsuki Takauji. This exhibition is curated by Jeffrey Wechsler, who was senior curator at the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and retired in 2013 after 36 years of service. Wechsler was involved with the establishment of the Nat ional A s s ociat ion of Women Artists (NAWA) Collection at Rutgers, oversaw the initial and ongoing acquisition of art for that collection, and organized exhibitions derived from that collection. He is currently on NAWA’s board of directors. When asked about this special anniversary exhibition he said, “While the art of NAWA members ranges over virtually every art medium, this exhibition focuses on a particular form that is somewhat hybrid in practice and visual effect: sculptural works that are mounted on a wall. The four artists in t he ex hibition elaborate upon this physical concept w ith diverse approaches to material and meaning; they also represent several chronological generations, underscoring the long history of NAWA.” “Collage: Other Dimensions,” also curated by Wechsler “demonstrates that collage can incorporate a wide diversity of media and intentions, and that it can sometimes literally rise above the flat surface often assumed to be its natural form,” he said. This exhibition features the work of four artists: Peter S. Arakawa, Chinyee, Dennis Lick, and Bonnie Lucas. Wechsler explains, “Collage is a very flexible medium in technique, medium and imagery…. Although the notion of collage is generally associated with the cutting and pasting of paper, this exhibition of four artists is divided between an acknowledgment of the historical centrality of paper to collage, and an endeavor to move beyond it.” The Center for Contemporary Art is located at 2020 Burnt Mills Road in Bedminster.

This diversity is a point of pride for the artist-run gallery and means collectors of all types can enjoy exploring the gallery’s many different rooms, and speak directly to the artist, or artists on staff during their visit.

CINEMA REVIEW

The Kid Who Would Be King

Bullied Schoolboy Morphs into King Arthur in Modern Fantasy

ritish schoolboy Alex Elliot (Louis Ashbourne Serkis) is the unlikeliest of heroes. After all, the pint-sized 12-year-old and his nerdy best friend, Bedders (Dean Chaumoo), are bullied on a daily basis at Dungate Academy. Unfortunately, Alex doesn’t have a father or a big brother to teach him how to deal with his tormentors. His dad disappeared ages ago, leaving behind a copy of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table inscribed with a dedication comparing his son to the classic novel’s legendary title character. Sure enough, life starts imitating art the day Alex summons up the courage to intervene when he catches a couple of cruel classmates, Kaye (Rhianna Dorris) and Lance (Tom Taylor), tormenting Bedders. Later that afternoon, Alex yanks out a sword he finds stuck in a boulder on a construction site, a feat reminiscent of how Arthur extracted Excalibur from a stone in accordance with ancient folklore. A new transfer student, Merlin (Angus Imrie), encourages

Alex to embrace his destiny as a latter-day King Arthur. Once convinced, Alex uses his sword to knight not only his buddy Bedders, but also their adversaries Kaye and Lance (aka Sir Lancelot). With time of the essence, the four join forces with Merlin (aka Merlin the Magician), to defeat Morgana (Rebecca Ferguson), an evil sorceress bent on world domination. She comes equipped with a scary army of flaming skeletons, which the youngsters only have a few days to subdue to prevent a cataclysmic solar eclipse. Written and directed by Joe Cornish (Attack the Block), The Kid Who Would Be King is an entertaining re-imagining of a classic epic adventure — a wholesome family treat with an inspirational message. Excellent (4 stars). Rated PG for action, violence, scary images, mature themes, and mild epithets. Running time: 120 minutes. Production Companies: 20th Century Fox/ Working Title Films/Big Talk Productions. Studio: 20th Century Fox. —Kam Williams

Featuring Lineup Stocked with Young Players, No. 1 PU Women’s Squash Ready for Ivy Clashes

ith her Princeton University women’s squash team lineup containing three freshmen and three sophomores in the top nine, Gail Ramsay wasn’t sure what to expect coming into the winter. It didn’t take long for longtime Princeton head coach Ramsay to realize that her young squad could be something special this season. Facing No. 4 Stanford on November 17 in its second match of the season, Princeton cruised to a 7-2 victory, making an early statement. “They were a top 5 team, they are strong at the top,” said Ramsay, who is in her 25th season at the helm of the Tiger program. “I was really concerned.” The addition of freshmen Bubble Lui (at No. 1), Elle Ruggiero (No. 3), and Andrea Toth (No. 7) along with the progress of sophomores Raneem El-Torky (No. 2), Grace Doyle (No. 4), and Emme Leonard (No. 6) has made Princeton a stronger and deeper team from top to bottom. “We have three freshman pushing some people back,” noted Ramsay, whose cur-

China’s Past in its Present and Future: War and the Making of a New Order in Asia, 1937 to the Present Beijing’s policies continue to dominate the news in the Asia-Pacific region. One question of particular urgency in the present day is: does China seek to create a new international order in Asia, replacing the structures that have existed since 1945? One crucial event that helps illuminate this question is China’s experience during World War II, in the epic war against Japan from 1937 to 1945. As many as 14 million Chinese died and 80 million became refugees during those years. This lecture will explore how the battered China of wartime became today’s superpower in the making.

Tiger Men’s Hoops Returns with Win over Wesley, Schwieger Posts Career High in Cannady’s Absence Even though the Princeton University men’s basketball team was on a 15-day hiatus for exams starting in midJanuary, Ryan Schwieger managed to get his reps in. “I have been working hard; I didn’t have that many exams so I was in the gym a lot, working with the guys,” said Schweiger. “We all got better over this little break.” Schw ieger’s hard work paid dividends as the Tigers returned to action last Sunday by hosting Division III foe Wesley. He tallied a career-high 15 points, going 6-of-6 from the floor, helping Princeton roll to a 91-62 win, improving to 10-5 overall. “We haven’t played in a long time, so it is good to put the jerseys back on before league play,” said the 6’6, 205-pound Schwieger, a native of Matthews, N.C. While Princeton’s victory over Wesley was expected, the Tigers used the game to fine-tune things. “We also needed the game to get better; it is still a college basketball game,” said Schwieger, who is now averaging 4.2 points a game. “We were working on some

things and we tried to use it to get better.” Sophomore forward Sebastian Much, who chipped in eight points and three rebounds in 10 minutes off the bench, saw the contest as a way for the Tigers to get in sync as they look forward to the Ivy League stretch drive. “It is team camaraderie, just staying together and always supporting one another,” said the 6’8, 220-pound Much, who hails from Laguna Niguel, Calif. “Whatever is happening in the game doesn’t really matter in the moment, we just stick to ourselves and focus on ourselves. We always have each other’s back. Everyone is pushing each other to work harder.” The Tigers will need to stick together as senior star guard and leading scorer Devin Cannady is currently suspended in the wake of an incident at the Wawa on January 18 which saw him get charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and improper behavior. P r i n ce ton h e ad M itch Henderson said after the game that he is “hopeful” that Cannady, who was on the bench Sunday in street clothes, will return this sea-

RYAN’S HOPE: Princeton University men’s basketball player Ryan Schwieger puts on the defensive pressure in a game last year.

son, noting that, “we are still reviewing everything and working closely with all of the parties involved.” With Cannady out, Henderson was looking for other players to step up. “Our team is a little bit different, so we had to make some adjustments, so I was hopeful that we can get some productive minutes from both Ethan [Wright], Ryan [Schweiger], and Max [Johns],” said Henderson. “We have to fill a need for us. I was confident going in and I feel really good coming out of it.” Henderson felt very good about Schwieger’s performance against Wesley. “Ryan was making shots a r o u n d t h e r i m ,” s a i d Henderson. “He has put a lot of time into that. The way he has been going about it, I just told Ryan that this is a product of all of the hard work you have been putting in.” The play of Much was another bright spot for the Tigers. “He is doing great; he is exactly what we need,” said Henderson. “He is such a difficult matchup. He sees so many different things. He can obviously make a shot. I am happy with his focus on rebounding and defense. We are hitting the league so we are going to use all the pieces that we think will help us be successful in the league.” With Princeton resuming league action by playing at Columbia on February 1 and at Cornell on February 2, Henderson is looking for his players to be road warriors. “I just told the guys that the path in this league, or any league, is to be successful on the road,” said Henderson. “In order to do that, you have to be able to guard and get rebounds. That is going to a huge part of the focus for us as we hit the weekend.” The team’s unity should help it on that path. “It starts from the top. From the seniors all the way down, they truly support each other,” said Henderson. “I have always believed that a good locker room can pave the way to success. We will see; we are halfway through our path here. We still have a long way to go and now it is the big chunk. This is when it really matters and we will see if that is true.” Schwieger feels like things are coming together. “It is just playing as a team; today we fouled a lot and we have got to cut that out,” he said. “That is one of the biggest things and just staying together on defense and being aggressive on offense. We will take it one game at a time. Our motto is getting two every weekend.” Much, for his part, believes that there could be some good weekends ahead for the Tigers. “We have got to keep working and we have to continue to do our scouts well,” said Much. “Our scout team is really great for us. They help us out and give us a really good look. We just have to stay on top of everything. I think it is just getting better every day, that is the only thing we can really control.” —Bill Alden

PU Football’s Horsted Plays in All-Star Game

Senior star receiver Jesper Horsted became the 11th Princeton University football player to compete in the East-West Shrine Game earlier this month. Horsted, a 6’4, 225-pound native of Shoreview, Minn, made sure to leave an impression on the NFL scouts in attendance, coming up with one of the signature plays of the game, a 38-yard grab down the left sideline that held up as the longest catch in the showdown of some of the NCAA’s best college football players. He ended the game with two catches for 42 yards while playing for the East team, which fell 21-17 to cap a strong week of both practices and the game in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Horsted, who earned AllAmerica honors this past fall after leading Princeton to its first perfect season since 1964 and a second Ivy League title in three years, excelled t hroughout t he week in practice sessions and interviews. In helping Princeton go 10-0, Horsted ranked sixth in the FCS (Football Championship Subdiv ision ) in touchdown catches (13 ), seventh in receptions per game (7.2 ), and 12th in receiving yards per game (104.7). Along the way, he broke the Princeton record for career catches, ending up with 196.

PU Women’s Tennis Adds Pierson to Staff

Rachel Pierson, a Princeton-area native and a multitime All-America honoree during her collegiate career, has joined the Princeton University women’s tennis coaching staff as a volunteer assistant coach. Pierson joins a Princeton program that has won four of the last five Ivy League

titles and competed in the NCA A tournament in all four of those seasons. A n a lu m n a of n e ar by Montgomery High, Pierson began her collegiate career at Virginia before moving on to Texas A&M, earning AllAmerica honors with both programs. While a freshman at Virginia, she was on a doubles team that reached a No. 3 national ranking and earned All-America recognition, part of a season that saw her earn ITA Atlantic Region Rookie of the Year honors and a place on the All-ACC Academic Honor Roll. At Texas A&M, where she spent the last three years of her collegiate career, Pierson rose to the Aggies’ top spot in both singles and doubles and earned AllAmerica honors as a senior to become the first player in program history to reach All-America status in both disciplines. That year, she was ranked as high as No. 4 in the nation in doubles and No. 16 in singles, capping

a career in which she maintained SEC Academic Honor Roll status throughout her time in College Station on the way to earning her degree in sociology. Pierson’s junior career saw her rise to a No. 5 national age-group ranking with the

18s and she was the nation’s fourth-ranked recruit by TennisRecruiting.net. Since graduating from Texas A&M, Pierson has competed on the ITF pro circuit and worked at tennis clubs in San Diego and in Pennsylvania.

Hun Girls’ Swimming Earns 1st County Crown As Junior Transfer Hebert Makes Immediate Impact Standing in the starting blocks before swimming the anchor leg on the girls’ 400-meter freestyle relay last Saturday at the Mercer County Championships, Marie-Eve Hebert gave each of her arms a slap, readying herself for a big effort. The Hun School junior transfer exploded into the water at the WW/P-North pool, churning out a blistering swim that helped the Raiders take second in the race. That performance put the finishing touch on a remarkable day for the Hun girls as they earned the first county team title in program history. The Raiders piled up 207 points in taking the crown with WW/PSouth coming in second at 175. Hebert also came through in the individual events, winning both the 200 and 400 free races with junior Abbie Danko winning the 200 individual medley and placing fourth in the 100 backstroke, sophomore Becca Della Rocca taking first in the 100 butterfly and finishing second in the 400 free, and senior Isabelle Peel placing second in both the 50 free and 100 breaststroke. For Hebert, a native of Quebec, Canada, getting her first taste of the county meet left some indelible memories. “We are new here and people don’t know us, so it was great to swim the best we can in the prelims and the finals and just give all we have,” said Hebert, who speaks with a slight French accent. “The ambience here is crazy. I never saw that before, it was amazing.” Although Hebert was under the weather, that didn’t keep

her from storming to victory in the 200 free. “Because I was sick, I wasn’t very confident,” said Hebert, who clocked a winning time of 2:10.63. “From the start I was behind and I was thinking ‘let’s go Marie, we can do this’ and I finished first and it was wonderful.” Later in the meet, Hebert locked up in a wonderful duel with teammate Della Rocca in the 400 free. Swimming out of lane six, Hebert edged Della Rocca for the title as they placed one-two in the event. “I was ranked sixth and it was in my mind that I did great in the 200 free, so why can I not do great in the 400 free too?” said Hebert, who came in at 4:34.43. “I gave it all I had. It is very competitive with Becca, I like it.” In the 400 free relay, the meet’s final event, Hun was determined to go out with a bang. “We knew we were points ahead of other teams and we really wanted to keep our advantage,” said Hebert. “We were ‘let’s go win this even if we are not first, let’s go do our best.’” In the wake of that race, Hebert and her teammates celebrated on the deck, enjoying the spoils of their breakthrough victory. “This is the first thing we have won,” said Hebert.“This season has been great. We have won every other meet so winning, seeing our medals and the T-shirts, and taking pictures was great.” Making the move to Hun has been a great experience

for Hebert. “I was visiting my brother here for the school and the hockey,” said Hebert, whose older brother, Guillaume, starred for the Hun boys’ hockey team and graduated from the school last spring. “The Hun campus was amazing to me. This is like Harry Potter, it is like a dream for me, so let’s try to swim here. I know that in the United States, swimming is very competitive. Everyone here has been friendly.” Hun head coach Joan Nuse wasn’t sure how her squad would stack up at the highly competitive county meet. “We were hoping to do well, we were just really excited to be here because we haven’t been here in quite a while so we didn’t know for sure,” said Nuse, noting that Hun hadn’t entered the meet previously during her five years guiding the program. “The girls were going to go out and do their best. It was nice to see them do well. No matter what they tried really hard, and worked hard in every single race. You can’t ask for anything more.” The back-to-back wins by Danko in the 200 IM and Hebert in the 200 free early in the meet set a positive tone for the Raiders. “That was definitely a good start to things,” said Nuse. “The fact that they both qualified really well gave them a little bit of confidence.” The battle between Hebert and Della Rocca in the 400 free was definitely a highlight of the day for Hun.

“Marie-Eve didn’t have the greatest day yesterday (in the prelims) because she hasn’t been feeling well, so to me that just told me the heart that she has and the fact that she is just really a competitor,” said Nuse. “It is hard to go from lane six. The fact that she and Becca swim together in a lot of our meets is nice. They knew each other and what they were going to be able to do.” In addition to doing great things in the pool, Hebert has helped foster team unity for the Raiders. “Marie-Eve is just such a nice person too,” said Nuse. “She is the first person in the meet who will be over cheering for the kids in lane six or comforting somebody who might be upset about how they did. Being a good person is so valuable and she just adds so much with that.” The team’s gritty perfor-

mance in the 400 free relay was something to cheer about. “That was definitely exciting to see; we were behind and really rallied,” said Nuse. “It was great, some of them didn’t even realize when they finished that they had come in second. They were ‘wait, what did we do.’” The combination of Peel and Danko helped Hun come through. “Isabelle was really a contributor; she really helped the relays too,” said Nuse, “She has definitely been an asset to the team. Abbie is Abbie, she has been around for a long time. I have known her since seventh grade. She is a great member of the team with a really great attitude.” In reflecting on the title, Nuse was taken aback by what her swimmers accomplished. “We have never done anything like this; we have never

been known for our swimming,” said Nuse, whose boys’ squad placed 12th at the meet. “We have to go off campus to practice, so to have this happen is amazing. It is really good for the girls to have put this in and show that Hun does have a swimming program.” With the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) and state Prep championship meets taking place in early February, Nuse is looking for some more amazing efforts. “It should be good,” said Nuse. “It is a lot of intense swimming in a pretty short time, so will have to see how it goes.” Hebert, for her part, believes the Raiders will keep up the intensity. “I hope my health will be better,” said Hebert. “Every time, we are getting a little better. All the girls are getting experience, so that is good.” —Bill Alden

Gefen Bar-Cohen served as a swing player for the Princeton High boys’ basketball program last winter as a sophomore. He started the season on the junior varsity and was promoted to t he varsit y midway through the campaign. Last Wednesday at Princeton Day School, Bar-Cohen helped swing a nip and-tuck bat tle bet ween the crosstown rivals in the favor of PHS, starring in the fourth quarter as the Tigers pulled out a 70-68 win. Bar- Cohen made some key rebounds and hit four key free throws in the waning moments as the Tigers weathered the PDS surge. “I have really been working on my free throws this year; I just knew that if I hit them the game was over,” said Bar-Cohen, who ended the evening with 17 points. “We have been in this position many times, so we just had to keep our composure and finish it out.” Early on, PHS was in position to blow out the Panthers, jumping out to a 22-7 lead by the end of the first quarter. “Our game plan was to play uptempo,” said BarCohen. “We wanted to get as many steals as possible;

we were jumping the passing lanes. We just really wanted to have high energy and I think we did that.” Bar-Cohen and his teammates sensed that PDS was going to play with a lot of energy as it trailed 37-24 at intermission. “Coach [ Pat Noone ] at half told us, ‘they are going to come out strong,’” recalled Bar-Cohen. “‘They are shooters and they are going to be knocking down shots.’ That is exactly what they did, I have to give them a lot of credit.” Sure enough, the Panthers came out firing, going on a 22-8 run to take a 46 - 45 lead late in the third quarter. PHS settled down, pulling ahead 4947 heading into the fourth quarter and then holding off PDS down the stretch with some smar t ballhandling and clutch shooting from the line. “I think this is a really big win for our team; we just want to keep it rolling for the rest of the season,” said Bar-Cohen. Bar-Cohen’s emergence as a star has helped get the Tigers on a roll. “I really worked on my shot,” said Bar-Cohen. “I grew a lot since last year, so I have been taking it a lot harder

to the basket this year. I have been a lot more aggressive.” PHS head coach Noone liked the way his players showed their growth down the stretch against PDS. “That was the halftime talk, they are just too good, they are too talented,” said Noone. “You knew they were going to come and they were going to do it just like that. They just get to the basket so well, they can shoot 3s. I think we made a great adjustment on their 1-2-2 diamond set up. We kept somebody in the middle and we ran the baseline and it opened up for us to get down the court and we converted our layups.” In Noone’s view, the win over PDS was the product of the work ethic being displayed by the Tigers this winter. “They are a great bunch of guys and they work their tails off,” asserted Noone. “That is the culture we are tr ying to build here and these guys have bought in and they deserve all of the credit. They were unbelievable tonight.” Bar-Cohen’s progress exemplifies that culture. “He came down the stretch and hit some big free throws and

got some big rebounds,” said Noone. Senior stars Jay Jackson and Jaylen Johnson played a big role against the Panthers, controlling the paint. “Their last four games have been unbelievable,” said Noone. “They move the ball well, they skip it out. They get their points. They have just been playing great.” The program is showing great progress this winter as PHS has already doubled its win total from last season, qualifying for the state tournament in the process. “This is our eighth win so we clinch the state berth; when you earn it with the over .500 record like the old days, that is something cool you can build on, especially with where we have been before I got here,” said To: ___________________________ Noone, whose team fell 58_________________________ Date & Time: __________________ 56From: to Hamilton last Friday inHere moving to 8-7 and plays is a proof of your ad, scheduled to run ___________________. at Robbinsville on FebruPlease it thoroughly and pay special attention to the following: ary 1 and check then hosts Notre Dame February 5. will tell us it’s okay) (Youroncheck mark “We were 1-20 last year b efore we won t he las t � Phone number � Fax number � Address � Expiration Date three games; it is a hell of CO-STARRING: Princeton High boys’ basketball player Gefen Bar-Cohen heads to the hoop in a game earlier this a turnaround.

Investing today isn’t just about returns. To many people, making a positive impact and doing social good are equally important in their portfolios. According to a recent survey[1], over 25% of all professionally managed assets are now invested with social good in mind. Generally, there are three types of socially conscious investing - Socially Responsible Investing (SRI); Environmental, Social and Governance investing (ESG); and Impact investing. Often these categories are used interchangeably.

Retirement Plans

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) Qualified Retirement Plans and Accounts

Qualified SRI is definedaccounts generally as selecting or eliminating investments on moral or ethical Qualified retirement include 401(k) and other employerbased sponsored retirement convictions.

Laying Foundation for Success in the Future, PHS Swimmers Compete Hard in Counties Although Carly Misiewicz would have liked to see her Princeton High boys’ and girls’ swimming squads in the hunt for team titles at the Mercer County Championships last Saturday at WW/P-North, she believes the program laid the foundation for future success. Featuring a number of talented freshman performers, the PHS girls took sixth in their meet, which was won by the Hun School. “I think the girls did a great job overall; our freshmen this year really stepped up,” said PHS head coach Misiewicz, citing the efforts of newcomers Abby Walden, Katie DiVenti, and Tracey Liu. “They were really excited about this meet coming into it, they had a little bit of nerves but nerves are good.” Walden took third in the 200-meter freestyle, while DiVenti finished fourth in the 200 free and fifth in the 400 free and Liu placed sixth in the 100 backstroke. Junior Cammie Davis also had a very good day for

Tigers, excelling in two ‘A’ finals. “Cammie was a standout as usual, getting second in the 100 free and fifth in the 100 backstroke,” added Misiewicz. The standout performances last Saturday bode well for the future. “I am looking at everyone who was here to swim today and none of them are graduating,” said Misiew icz. “Ever yone is coming back.” A s for t he PHS boys, the Tigers finished fifth in the team standings behind champion Notre Dame and provided one of the highlights of the day for the program, winning the 200 free relay. “That was fun, that is probably one of the best races and most exciting to watch,” said Misiewicz, reflecting on the effort of her quartet of sophomore Will Murray, freshman Logan Eastburn, senior Oliver Tennant, and junior Jeshurun Reyen who clocked a winning time of 1:41.42.

“We think of it as the splash and dash. G oing into it having been four seconds ahead in the preliminary round, I said ‘guys this is yours, this is no one else’s but yours.’ They were pumped.” Misiewicz was pumped by the individual work she got from Reyen, Murray, and sophomore Owen Tennant. “Jeshur un had a great meet; he had a great swim in the 50, getting third,” said Misiewicz. “Owen and Will had some ver y good sw ims. Owen made the top six in both of his events (200 individual medley, 100 backstroke ) and Will was in the top 12 in both of his events (200 IM, 100 butterfly).” With the state sectionals on the horizon, Misiewicz believes her swimmers can build on their effort at the county meet. “We have a week and half before the states get started, so I think we can benefit from this time off to recover and then get back into racing,” said Misiewicz. —Bill Alden

Marciano Displays Her Versatility, Athleticism As PHS Girls’ Basketball Cruises Past PDS Shaylah Marciano stays busy athletically throughout the school year for Princeton High. Marciano is a star goalie for the PHS girls’ soccer team in the fall, a point guard for the basketball team in the winter, and a playmaking midfield for the lacrosse squad in the spring who was among the state leaders in assists last spring. As a result, junior Marciano has developed a game sense and ability to see plays develop before they happen. Last Wednesday, her savvy was on display as the PHS girls’ hoops team headed across town to face Princeton Day School. With Marciano triggering the offense, the Tigers jumped out to a 16-5 lead. “We are a very selfless team,” said Marciano. “We are always looking to make that extra pass and get someone else to score the bucket.” Marciano enjoys facilitating things for her teammates. “On the lacrosse field I am more of an assister and it translates on to the basketball court,” said Marciano. Diversifying her portfolio, Marciano scored 12 points to go with six assists and six steals against PDS as PHS pulled away to a 61-17 win over the Panthers. “I have been working on my shot this season, sometimes I make the extra pass a little too much when I probably should be shooting it myself,” said Marciano. “This season, I focused on my form and making sure that I could be a threat from the outside as well as being able to assist.” Being a threat in three sports can be a grind, but Marciano enjoys the challenge of juggling her pursuits. “It is hard; it definitely keeps me competitive all year and it is a lot of a fun,” said Marciano, who has committed to attend Michigan and play for its women’s

lacrosse program. “There is definitely a preseason period where I can shake the dust off but each sport contributes to the other — the field vision from being a goalie and seeing everything and then being a point guard and then being an assister in lacrosse.” Marciano is having fun playing with the team’s four senior starters, Erin Devine, Catherine Dyevich, and the Intartaglia twins, Anna and Olivia. “They are the best people ever; we have been playing together for a long time,” said Marciano. “It is going to be sad to see them go next season. We just mesh together, so that it works perfectly and all of the

spots on the court are filled so well.” Fueled by that special chemistry, Marciano and her teammates are looking to do some big things this winter. “We are looking to make a tournament run, that is the goal; we have always said from day one we want to put something on the banner and I think this is the year to do it,” said Marciano, who contributed six points and eight assists as the Tigers defeated Hamilton 41-20 last Friday in improving to 12-4. “We definitely have the skill and the talent and we have the drive. We are dying to win something. We really have gotten off to a good start and we have been working so hard in practice, so hopefully it ends up with a championship.” —Bill Alden

PASSING JUDGMENT: Princeton High girls’ basketball player Shaylah Marciano passes the ball in recent action. Last Wednesday, junior point guard Marciano scored 12 points with six assists and six steals to help PHS defeat Princeton Day School 61-17. Two days later, Marciano contributed six points and eight assists as the Tigers defeated Hamilton 41-20 and improved to 12-4. PHS plays at Notre Dame on February 5.

A raucous throng of fans flocked to Hobey Baker Rink last Wednesday as the Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team faced Lawrenceville in the latest installment of their heated local rivalry. Minutes into the contest, the blue-clad PDS supporters were stunned into an uneasy silence as Lawrenceville jumped out to an early lead, scoring three unanswered goals in the first 12 minutes of the contest. While that certainly wasn’t the game plan for the Panthers, senior forward Ty Eastman was confident that PDS could dig out of that hole. “You don’t want to go down 3-0, it is the biggest game of the year for us,” said senior forward Eastman. “We still had the whole game left; we started to come together.” The Panthers started a comeback when junior forward Alex Allen found the back of the net with 3:26 left in the period. “That was huge,” said Eastman. “It was just take it down and get a nice play; he had a great finish.” PDS got a goal from sophomore star Luke Antonacci in the waning seconds of the period to draw within 3-2 heading into the first intermission. “ We were were re a l ly confident the whole game,” said Eastman. “It got to a one-goal game.” Minutes later, Eastman displayed his confidence with the puck, firing in a top-shelf blast that tied the game at 3-3 with 3:45 left in the second period. “My line mates Coby [Auslander] and David [Sherman] did a great job of getting me the puck and the goalie went down,” recalled Eastman. “I was fortunate it went in.” After Lawrenceville stretched its lead to 5-3 with a tally late in the second period and another score early in the third, Eastman struck again, knocking the puck past the Lawrenceville goalie to make it a 5-4 game with 14:13 left in regulation. “Coby gave me a great pass and I got a good bounce,” said Eastman. The Panthers didn’t get the bounces after that, however, failing to cash in on a late power play despite generating some good opportunities, ending up dropping a 5-4 nail-biter to the Big Red. “We had some great chances, that was kind of it there,” said Eastman, reflecting on the last power play. Eastman has relished the chance to skate with classmate Auslander over the last few years. “We are best friends; we have been playing together for about three years now,” said Eastman. “We find each other, we know each other’s games.” PDS head coach Scott Bertoli liked the way his players found another gear as the showdown was moved to Baker Rink for the first time. “It is a really neat environment; it was great that we brought the game over here,” said Bertoli. “We haven’t beaten them at home and they haven’t beaten us at home. It didn’t take away from the level of play, I thought it was a great game.” Early on, Bertoli feared that the game may get away from his squad. “There were points when it got to three, I was ‘oh my

god, this could get ugly and they could steamroll us,’” said Bertoli. “You look at their results, they have typically done that. They push it out, there are a lot of 5-1, 6-1 games so that absolutely crossed my mind.” Bertoli was heartened to see his team push back. “Alex’s goal was huge and then to score on the power play, that response was very good,” said Bertoli. “I thought we were great in the second period. Ty’s goal was great. Because we are throwing the same kids over the boards, we got a little bit tired but still in the third period, we had our opportunities.” Seeing Eastman take advantage of scoring opportunities was a highlight of the game for Bertoli. “Ty has been a little bit snakebitten of late,” said Bertoli. “For him to break out of it in a game like this is awesome for him and hopefully propels him to have a good final six, seven games.” While the Panthers were brokenhearted after the loss, Bertoli tipped his hat to his senior leaders. “I can’t say enough about Coby, Ty, and Chip [Hamlett], our three captains,” said

Bertoli, whose team moved to 11-9-1 with the setback and will look to get back on the winning track as it plays at St. Augustine on January 30 before hosting Seton Hall Prep on January 31 and Chatham High on February 5. “They spent half of the game on the ice. They are three of the best kids, both on and off the ice, and what they have meant to the program, that we have ever had here. I am devastated that they didn’t get the result that they want. I am thrilled with the way they played and competed.” With the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League (MAHL) playoffs on the horizon, Bertoli believes his squad can compete with anybody. “If we get another opportunity to play them or Hill (a 1-0 overtime loss on January 9), the kids have to feel good about it,” said Bertoli. “We played the two best teams in our league to one-goal games.” Eastman, for his part, feels good about things heading into the stretch drive. “We just want to finish out strong,” said Eastman. “At the end of the day, it was just a league game. We still have our MAHL playoffs to come. I believe in us. I know that we can compete with any team in the league.” —Bill Alden

With Defenseman Haggerty Providing Punch, PDS Girls’ Hockey Fired Up for Postseason

Haggerty.“Now she is playing and also doing the musical, trying to do both.” The Panthers will be trying to do well as they head into the postseason, taking part in the WIHLMA (Women’s Interscholastic Hockey League of the Mid-Atlantic) playoffs and the state Prep tourney. “We are going to go up against Holton Arms in the league playoffs, we want to beat them; we felt we got cheated out of that game the last time (a 2-1 loss on December 15) because we were missing a ton of people,” said Haggerty, who was sidelined for that contest due to illness. “We are also really excited about Preps. We have been in the finals the last two years and both times we lost to Mo Beard. This year we beat Mo Beard 5-1 (on January 18), so that was awesome.” —Bill Alden

Getting the teams back to level, Haggerty lofted a shot from the point that fluttered past the Immaculate Heart goalie with 6:52 remaining in the period. “It got deflected; one of their girls tried to catch it,” said Haggerty. “It went in.” In the third period, PDS senior star and team captain Julie Patterson got one in with 8:25 remaining in regulation that ended up making the difference as PDS prevailed 2-1.

Gavin Lewis Gavin Edward Harry Lewis died peacefully at home, in the company of his loving wife, on January 20, 2019, in Princeton, New Jersey. He was a few days short of 76. Born in Sutton, Surrey, England in 1943, Gav in Lewis was the son of the late Michal Hambourg, a celebrated concert pianist, and the late Edward Lewis, an architect. Gavin attended Westminster School in London and then Oxford University, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in History. He then earned his Ph.D. in History from Princeton Universit y. His doctoral studies took him to Vienna, Austria, and to Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, where he met his future wife Nadia Katyk. After their wedding in Bratislava in 1978, Nadia joined Gavin in New York City. Soon after, they settled in Princeton, NJ. For over 30 years, Gavin taught Western Civilization to undergraduate students at John Jay College of Criminal

Justice-CUNY. His research and publications include studies of central European history, Sumerian civilization, Athenian politics and religion, print and culture in the Renaissance, and the decipherment of Egyptian writing. With historian Thomas H. Greer, Gavin co-authored A Brief History of the Western World, a widely-used undergraduate textbook. Gavin is also the author of Church and Party in Political Catholicism: The Clergy and the Christian Social Party in Lower Austria, 1887-1907; Tomás Masaryk; Close-Ups of the Past: Western Civilization Case Studies; and WCIV. He also worked as a book editor, editing countless works of scholarship for major university presses. Throughout his life, both professionally and personally, Gavin was a tremendous reader and writer. His commitment to the study of history and the humanities persisted well into his retirement, and he was at work on a book about the Roman Fifth Macedonic Legion at the time of his death. Above all, Gavin Lewis cherished his family life. He was a devoted husband to his wife of 40 years. Together, they raised four children and, in recent years, took great joy in their five grandchildren. Gavin Lewis is survived by his wife, Nadia; his son Michael and his wife Irena; his daughter Anna and her husband Nicholas; his son Alexander and his wife Mandy; his daughter Dorothea and her husband Béla; as well as by five grandchildren, Nicholas, Sofia, Clara, Isadora, and Henry.

Gavin Lewis was buried at Princeton Cemetery on Tuesday, January 22, 2019. He will be greatly missed and his memory cherished. Arrangements are under the direction of the MatherHodge Funeral Home Princeton.

He predicted t hat “t he geometr y and simple fabrication of these devices will someday permit integration of thousands on a single wafer.” In research management, he held titles of Staf f Vice - P resident, Systems Research and Staff Vice-President, Research Programs, including responsibilities for laboratories in Zurich and Tokyo. He was issued 14 patents in the fields of color television, transistor circuits, video disc systems, and flat-panel television displays.

He was engaged with civic organizations both in Oxford and further afield, including Washington College’s Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Maryland ACLU, and the Southern Poverty Law Center. He was a founding contributor to the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. In his wallet he carried a hand-written card stating: Listen to diverse voices / Seek new ideas / Embrace variety / Resist stereotypes / Respect diversity / Explore

outward / Educate yourself. M r. S t a n l e y w a s pr e deceased by a daughter, Bridget Alexandra; a son, Mark Raoul; his wife Lee; and brother Ted.

WHICH TYPE OF HOME LOAN IS RIGHT FOR YOU? A conventional loan has lower rates for borrowers with great credit. There are not any limits on your income, the area of your purchase, or occupancy type. It is any type of home buyer’s loan that is not offered or secured by a government entity but instead is available through or guaranteed by a private lender or the two government-sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. FHA loans have some flexible guidelines and are a bit more forgiving on credit than a conventional loan and usually have a lower interest rate. As of 2019, you can borrow up to 96.5% of the value of a home with an FHA loan (meaning you'll need to make a down payment of only 3.5%). USDA loans require no down payment, no private mortgage insurance is necessary and they are flexible with credit. There are income restrictions and only certain areas are eligible for this type of loans. VA loans require no down payment and have flexible credit guidelines. The one requirement for this type of loan is that you must be a Veteran. VA loans offer up to 100% financing on the value of the home.
