University Endowment Grows 12.5 Percent, Increases to $23.8 B

Princeton University’s endowment, ranked fourth highest of all United States universities at $23.8 billion, has reported a 12.5 percent investment gain for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, up $1.6 billion over the past year. “The University relies on earnings from the endowment to cover more than half of its operating budget, as well as to help fund its highest priority strategic initiatives,“ said Provost Deborah Prentice. Last year, spending distributions from the endowment contributed about $875 million to the University’s budget. According to the Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO), which manages the endowment and will certify the results during a meeting of its directors on October 19, consistently strong investment returns have allowed the University to initiate and expand its pioneering financial aid program. The average annual return on the endowment over the past decade has been 7.1 percent, placing Princeton’s endowment among the top percentile of 458 institutions listed by the Wilshire Trust Universe Comparison Service. College endowments and foundations overall returned 12.7 percent in the fiscal year ending June 30, according to Cambridge Associates, as reported by Bloomberg, with large allocations to U.S. and international equities helping some smaller institutions to outpace larger funds that are more likely to hold hedge fund and other alternative investments. Dartmouth led the Ivy League in endowment returns for the fiscal year ending June 30 at 14.6 percent, University of Pennsylvania was up 14.3 percent, Cornell 12.5 percent, Yale 11.3 percent, and Harvard 8.1 percent, according to Bloomberg. Prentice pointed out the significant impact of the endowment returns. “These earnings,” she said, “enable the University to provide generous financial aid that makes it possible for any student who is admitted to attend, regardless of ability to pay and without the need for students to take out loans.” The University trustees recently approved an 8.7 percent increase in undergraduate financial aid to $161.2 million in the University’s operating budget for the current year, with endowment funds Continued on Page 7

Westminster Faculty Airs Frustrations at “Teach-in” Westminster Choir College is set to be sold by Rider University to an as yet unnamed buyer, said to be from China. But faculty at the famed music institution, which was merged with Rider in 1992, feels they have been denied a voice in the process. To demonstrate their distress, faculty members staged a “teach-in” Monday on the Princeton campus. Students packed Westminster’s Bristol Chapel to hear comments from faculty. The buyer is believed to be a for-profit corporation that runs K-12 schools in Asia but has no experience running a university. Elizabeth Scheiber, chairperson of Rider’s department of languages, literatures, and cultures and president of Rider’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said the union has several concerns about the buyer that Rider President Gregory Dell’Omo has identified only as “an international partner.” There is no need to sell the campus, Scheiber said, because Westminster is financially healthy. “Beyond that, we are concerned about selling an institution of higher learning to a for-profit institution,”

she said. “We worry about your money going to people who do not have a stake in education.” Instead of selling the campus, Rider could pursue other solutions such as increased fundraising, she suggested. Assistant professor of voice Thomas Faracco acknowledged Rider’s role, with the 1992 merger, in saving Westminster from closing down. “We would not be in this room right now if it wasn’t for Rider University,” he said. But instead of including faculty in the search for a new buyer,

Rider has left them in the dark. “Collaboration is in a musician’s DNA.” he said. In an August 30 interview with The Rider News, Dell’Omo said the buyer will “pretty much keep everything as is in terms of trying to keep as much of the staff — if not all of it — the administration, maintaining the [Westminster] Conservatory as well as continuing [education].” But the University community is frustrated by what they say is a lack of information about the foreign entity.

Planning Board Subcommittee Says No Springdale-West Drive Connection A determined group of residents has successfully taken the first step in blocking a plan to connect Springdale Road to West Drive and then open the combined road as a major artery in and out of Princeton. Last Wednesday, October 11, the Master Plan Subcommittee of the Princeton Planning Board read letters from the Princeton Environmental Commission, the

Marquand Park Foundation, the Friends of the Rogers Wildlife Refuge, and the Nassau Swim Club; perused a petition with 102 signatures, urging the deletion of the Springdale Road extension from the Master Plan; listened to public comments, including testimony from Princeton University, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) and the Stony Brook-Millstone Continued on Page 14

PROPOSED BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAIL IN TRENTON: D&R Greenway Land Trust, project partners and other community groups met on Tuesday, October 17 to discuss a proposed bicycle and pedestrian trail in Trenton. The trail would link up the main D&R Canal State Park path near Trenton’s Battle Monument to the fragmented section in Hamilton Township, winding through Trenton’s streets and onto the canal path. The trail would then link up to the Delaware River Heritage Trail and East Coast Greenway. “D&R Greenway is exploring how to close the gap between the D&R Canal Path in downtown Trenton and the Delaware River Heritage Trail in Burlington County,” says D&R Greenway Vice-President Jay Watson. “Various on- and off-street bicycle routes throughout South Trenton and downtown are being explored.” The project is funded by the William Penn Foundation through the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission.

Arts Council, Local Groups Partner In Expanded Free Programming Since taking over as executive director of the Arts Council of Princeton last Januar y, Taneshia Nash Laird has noticed that its Solley Theater was not being used to its full potential. Different organizations would

rent the space for various functions, but there was no process in place for making it available on a non-rental basis. “We started thinking,” said Laird after a presentation on Monday morning, “What could we do to open up our theater to the community, and bring free or nearly free events to the public in partnership with other groups? That’s how the idea for Community Stage got started.”

The new performing arts series is a collaboration with local arts groups and organizations that can make use of the intimate theater. “In a community like Princeton, where you have some incredible stages like McCarter and Richardson, this gives access to smaller presenters who wouldn’t otherwise be able to present,” Laird said. “The thing we all have in common is that we are looking to be inclusive. It’s about community, diversity, inclusion, and opening our doors and welcoming people into the theater.” First in the series is OnStage Seniors of McCarter Theatre, an ensemble of locally-based actors over 55 who share their memories and experiences. Their program, “Insights and Revelations,” is Wednesday, November 8 at 7 p.m. On November 20 at 4:30 p.m., t he Neighborhood Children’s Choir of Westminster Choir College in collaboration with the Princeton YMCA presents young singers in grades three to five. The youngsters in this program have the opportunity to sing together, play musical games, and develop music reading skills. “Princeton, Slavery and Me” is a Princeton University project exploring the town’s relationship to slavery, with many local collaborators. For the Community Stage Series, students in the University workshop course will tell stories from the project in various modes, from stand-up to songwriting. The performance is on December 13 at 7 p.m. The African American Cultural Collaborative of Mercer

County performs February 8 at the theater. Founded in 2011, the organization is focused on “cohesiveness among generations of families to celebrate the rich heritage that unites Africans in the diaspora across cultures,” according to a press release. American Repertory Ballet II; the Stretto Youth Chamber Orchestra of Greater Princeton; Legacy Arts International; and Cafe Improv are also part of the series. Leaders of these organizations were on hand Monday for the official announcement of the series. Mayor Liz Lempert commended the Continued on Next Page

professor of music theory and composition, focused on the fact that the potential buyer is a for-profit entity. “Not-forprofits are owned by no one,” he said. “Let that sink in. No one owns this university. No one owns Westminster. There are no shareholders, only stakeholders — students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends.” Last April, Rider’s faculty voted no confidence in the University’s leadership. A lawsuit was filed by parents, students, donors, and former trustees of Westminster charging Dell’Omo with violation of the 1992 merger agreement, as well as fraud. Asked for comment about Monday’s teach-in, Rider spokesperson Kristine Brown responded by email. “The University respects the right of our faculty to express their opinions as they did yesterday. We continue to work diligently to finalize our mutual goal of continuing Westminster Choir College on the Princeton campus with a partner that is well positioned to make the necessary investments in and build upon Westminster’s world-class curriculum and rich legacy. The University remains encouraged by the strong progress made to date. While we all share the desire to move this process forward quickly, much work still remains. We are committed to working closely with our students, faculty, and staff during this time and continue to ask everyone for their patience as this important process moves forward. ” —Anne Levin

Buddy Miller and His Band Perform at Dad’s Request

BRINGING THE MUSIC HOME: Buddy Miller, son of Councilman Bernie Miller, performs with his band at an October 26 fundraiser for Princeton Community Housing. The award-winning musician was the executive music producer of the TV show “Nashville,” which is where he has lived for many years. (Photo by CJ Hicks) It isn’t often that Princeton Councilman Bernie Miller asks his son, Nashv ille based singer, songwriter, and producer Buddy Miller, to volunteer his services for a hometown cause. But the elder Miller recently broke with tradition, asking his son to perform at an upcoming fundraiser for Princeton Community Housing. “My Dad has never asked me to do anything that I can think of,” said Miller in a phone interview last week from his Nashville home. “So when he does, it gets my attention.” On Thursday, October 26 at The Boathouse at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, Buddy Miller and Friends will entertain at the organization’s 50th anniversary gala. Miller is a 1971 graduate of Princeton High School; two of the musicians in the band, banjo player David Olsen and bass player Jerry Steele, also have local roots. For four years, Miller was the executive music producer for the ABC-TV show Nashville. He left when the show moved to the CMT network. “It was time to move on,” he said. “It had become more than full time, so I didn’t have time to do other things. I loved the people I worked with. The cast were wonderful folks. But it was wearing me out, and I stayed a year later than I should have. I’ve got messes around the house from those four years that I still haven’t cleaned up.” Miller, whose real name is Steve (he changed it because there was already a wellknown Steve Miller in the music business), is known for his solo albums, his own band, and the songs he has written for such artists as Shaw n Colv in, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, and his wife, singer/songwriter Julie Miller, among others. He recently performed in California with Bob Weir, Earle, and Harris to raise awareness of the refugee crisis. Miller curates the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, an annual event in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park with more than 90 acts. “It’s really a mix of everything from Los Lobos to Randy Newman to a lot of bluegrass and anything you can think of in between,” he said. “It started after 9/11, when an investment banker name d War ren Hellman gave it as a gift to the city.

It has turned into a threeday event on six stages. He passed away a few years ago, but left it funded for another 15 years.” In an interview in Princeton Magazine three years ago, Miller ref lected on his youth in Princeton. He left the town “as soon as I could get a driver’s license,” he said, but credits music classes in high school, hanging out at the radio station WPRB, and seeing shows at McCarter Theatre and Richardson Auditorium, with planting the seeds for his future. Miller has kept close ties to friends from Princeton, some of whom visit him in Nashville. “They come to hang out because it’s so much fun. And I get them passes that get them better toilet access,” he joked. When his father asked him to get a band together for the Princeton Community Housing gala, Miller didn’t hesitate. “I thought, I don’t play that often these days,” he said. “I just don’t want to tour much. So I thought, what about these guys I played with in high school and shortly after? I looked up to them so much. So I’m really looking forward to it. David Olsen is a banjo player, and Jerry Steele plays everything. He was like the guy who could have been anything but he didn’t feel like it. He is much more talented than me. He was my hero, music-wise.” The other two members of the band are Joe D’Angelo on drums and vocals, and Steve Hendershott on mandolin and fiddle. “All of the players are really good,” Miller said. “I’m flying in early enough to get it all together, and hopefully we won’t humiliate ourselves in public.” Miller has slowed down a bit since leaving the television show. With his wife, he writes songs from their home studio, and their compositions continue to get recorded. There have been numerous awards. There have been Grammy nominations, including one that they lost to Bob Dylan. “So that’s actually okay,” Miller said.

Pr inceton Day School (PDS), long known for its deep commitment and strong programs in the humanities and the fine and performing arts, has recently turned its focus to the establishment of a dynamic new STEAM program, with major construction of a STEAM Center and new faculty to support it. “We have created a program and facility that has the potential to touch and shape the experience of every kid in the school,” said Head of School Paul Stellato. “The Upper School program is designed to speak to kids who have no experience, to introduce them to the subject, and also to meet the needs of kids who have extensive experience in the field. It’s an all-encompassing program.” Stellato went on to explain the comprehensive nature of the STEAM program and to point out PDS’s significant advantage as a Pre-K to 12 school. “We have the opportunity to engage kids for as many as 14 years, from age 4 to 18,” he said. “That continu-

ity of experience gives us opportunities that other schools don’t have.” Describing the STEAM program as a consistent step in PDS’s development of challenging opportunities for its students, Stellato noted that the program “speaks to the qualities that all of our kids possess: ambition, curiosity, creativity, and intelligence. We’ve provided for our students another venue in which those beautiful characteristics can express themselves.” Upper School Head Jason Robinson discussed another perspective on the impetus for the increased emphasis on the interdisciplinary approach to the study of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics known as STEAM. “The centerpiece of PDS is the strength of its academic program,” he said. “The larger national conversation about the future of STEAM education compelled our attention as a leading academic institution. We began to ask fundamental questions about what we teach, how we

teach it, and how to align our program with the best thinking and practices in STEAM education.” Already in use by more than 300 students each day over the past six weeks since school opened, the new Upper School STEAM Center, an expansion of the current facilities covering more than 2,000 square feet of space on the math/ foreign language corridors, includes a large classroom area and an adjacent smaller classroom for the computer science classes, along with an office for the school’s new STEAM Coordinator Jonathan Tatkon-Coker. “The new Center is open, well-lit, flexible, modular, and includes a minimum of fixed structures to better accommodate a wide variety of hands-on courses,” according to a PDS press release. Included in the new STEAM curriculum this year is a freshman STEAMinar, providing a basic literacy in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics for all

BOOK REVIEW

It’s Rimbaud’s Week — With Cameos by Charlie Parker, Patti Smith, and Dohm Alley

ne thing to be said for living in a country led by a deranged narcissicist is how it heightens your appreciation for explosive poets; it also exposes your stressed senses to outrageous fantasies. For days now I’ve been reading Rimbaud’s Season in Hell with special pleasure (“Alas! there were days when all active men seemed to him playthings of grotesque madness”) while enjoying a twisted vision out of Disney’s Snow White where an evil queen with an orange pompadour is staring in the mirror shouting, “Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest ruler of them all?” and being told time after time in an icky sweet sugar-plum fairy voice, “Snobama! Snobama! Snobama!” And when Snobama’s face actually appears in the mirror grinning that ear to ear grin, the queen begins screaming. Once she’s calmed down she sends a troupe of rogues and jesters out to destroy everything Snobama created, a futile task because the documents of destruction have no substance, it’s like writing in water. Keats’s Hand It’s safe to say that Princeton is the only town on the planet where the disembodied hand of John Keats (1795-1821) is suspended above an alley dedicated to Romantic poets, the fluid of his deathbed epitaph flowing uphill from the tip of his pen to a stonework representation of the last resting place of one “whose name was writ in water.” You can see that and other “huge cloudy symbols of a high romance” in Dohm Alley, Nassau Street’s “portal of poetry, art, and music.” Keats’s hand is as delicately sculpted as a bird in flight while Rimbaud’s is the far side of delicate, a hand befitting his future as a gun runner in the Horn of Africa. You can see it on the cover of Princeton Professor Emeritus Edmund White’s Rimbaud: The Double Life of a Rebel (Atlas 2008), which is taken from Coin de Table, a painting by Henri Fantin-Latour, who, in White’s words, “did manage to make Rimbaud look suitably ethereal and angelic.” But only after “he’d had to order the boy to wash his hands before posing. Rimbaud’s hands, large and red and covered with chilblains, made their immediate impression on everyone who met him — as if they had a raw, menacing, peasant-like existence of their own.” Usually I feel more comfortable with Keats’s Vale of Soul-Making than in the habitat of the 17-year-old poet who was born this week, October 20, in 1854. Given the state of the nation, I’m in a mood for Rimbaud’s riffs on “a prodigious and rational disordering of all the senses.” In the land of the mad queen, Rimbaud’s

rational derangement feels closer to the time than Keats’s negative capability. The Face On the Pavement With Rimbaud’s birthday approaching, I take my devastated New Directions paperback of Illuminations to read in the waiting room at Robert Wood Johnson. But as I sign in, I notice the side pocket of my jacket is empty. Somewhere between the parking deck and RWJ, Rimbaud has gone missing. When I get back to my car hours later, I find the book spread open on the pavement where it fell as I moved clumsily out of the car. Rimbaud’s schoolboy face is peering up at me from the detached cover, his head as if severed from the body of his book, which lay nearby. It looks like the scene of an accident, the poet of disorder left to die until I put him together again and drive off with Charlie

to create “a collision between structural form and rhetorical chaos,” with Rimbaud “getting beyond meaning and Bird getting beyond melodic sense.” Biographies of Rimbaud like Edmund White’s offer accounts of the teenage poet’s unseemly behavior — standing naked in the illuminated window of his host’s house, smashing the china, soiling the bedsheets with his muddy boots, selling the furniture, getting wasted on hashish and absinthe — not unlike some of the anecdotes collected in Robert Reisner’s Bird, where the self-destructive heroin addict demigod comes off as charming, unscrupulous, and never to be trusted when he’s in pursuit of a score. One story that made me think of Rimbaud is told by drummer Art Blakely. When the owner of a St. Louis nightclub insisted

Parker playing “Star Eyes” on the stereo. Parker and Rimbaud I’d never explored the connection before but it seemed worth some thought, so I brought along a Parker CD for the drive to New Brunswick. I also consulted a saxophonist friend in England who knows both artists better than I do, having spent a recent weekend studying a particular Charlie Parker solo; he’s also the author of Storming Heaven: A Story of Arthur Rimbaud and the Paris Commune (Bloomdido Books 2016). According to my friend, “they both remade the artform they used in a way that was at first seen as destructive,” using “tight structures of traditional verse and advanced harmonics”

that the musicians enter through the rear and forbade them from fraternizing with the white clientele, Parker had the band enter by the front door and hang out at the tables during intermission. As people looked on, he asked each of his musicians, “Did you drink out of this glass?” and being told yes, each time he said, “Then it’s contaminated,” smashing glass after glass after glass. I had this anecdote in mind driving back from RWJ listening to Charlie Parker soar above the nightclub noise in live sessions at the Open Door and Birdland in the early 1950s. While he’s channeling the chaotic atmosphere, playing it, improvising on it, I think of phrases from Rimbaud like “harmonic ecstasy,/And the heroism

of discovery.” Patti and Arthur Probably Rimbaud’s most devoted fan is singer/songwriter/poet Patti Smith, who paid eloquent tribute to him in her memoir Just Kids. Reading the paperback Illuminations changed her life; she took the book with her like a pocket Bible when she boarded the bus in Camden, New Jersey for Manhattan. She describes the relationship more playfully in a 1996 interview: “I devoted so much of my girlish daydreams to Rimbaud. Rimbaud was like my boyfriend.” Earlier this year she purchased the reassembled version of his childhood home in France. Another of Smith’s inspirations was William Blake and the song most expressive of her life’s journey may be “My Blakean Year”: “Fortune breathed in my ear/ Mouthed a simple ode/One road is paved in gold/One road is just a road.” Princeton’s Pleasure Dohm Dohm Alley in Princeton is no longer “just an alley.” From Keat’s overhanging hand to the reimagined chimneys of Blake’s chimney sweeper poems, this passage through the heart of downtown has been turned into an art installation celebrating Keats, Shelley, Byron, Wordsworth, and Coleridge, whose poem “Kubla Khan” was to my adolescence what Rimbaud was to Patti’s, with its “deep romantic chasm,” “woman wailing for her demon lover” “sunny pleasure dome with caves of ice” and, above all, the Abyssinian maid playing her dulcimer and “singing of Mt. Abora.” The grim last year of Rimbaud’s life described in Edmund White’s biography has one cheerful sequence. In July of 1891, with only months to live, he returned home from the hospital in Marseilles and for the first few days “surprised his mother and sister by cracking jokes all the time and reducing them to tears of merriment.” He’d also brought back an Abyssinian harp, “which he played in the evenings.” ——— Although you should see the Dohm Alley installation in person as soon as possible, you can get a preview at dohmalley.org/ summer2017. Also see Will Uhl’s story in the August 2, 2017, Town Topics, where one of the creative minds behind the project, landscape designer and installation artist Peter Soderman says of the alley: “It’s a place you don’t want to hang out, but a place you need to go through. And we’re changing that.” oger Yates’s Storming Heaven: A Story of Arthur Rimbaud and the Paris Commune is available on amazon. —Stuart Mitchner

John McPhee Will Be Talking About His New Book at Labyrinth Oct. 24 clude A Hole at the Bottom of the Sea, The Grand Idea, Why Things Are, and Captured Aliens. ———

John Grisham to Appear At the Scene of the Crime

John McPhee John McPhee will be discussing his new book Draft No.4: On the Writing Process (Farrar Straus and Giroux) with former students Rober t Wr ight and Joel Achenbach at L aby r int h Books on Tuesday, October 24 at 6 p.m. Although the event, cosponsored by the Ferris Seminars at Princeton University’s Humanities Council, is free, tickets are required and can be picked up at Labyrinth Books. Limit: 2 per person. Draft No. 4 is a master class on the writer’s craft. In a series of essays, McPhee shares insights he has gathered over his career and has refined while teaching at Princeton University. Michael Dirda, writing in The Washington Post, says Draft No. 4 is “a book that any writer, aspiring or accomplished, could profitably read, study and argue with …. For over half a century, John McPhee,―now 86,―has been writing profiles of scientists, eccentrics, and specialists of every stripe. All are exceptional at what they do. So, too, is their discerning chronicler.” According to Steve Donoghue in The Christian Science Monitor, “Draft No. 4 is as lean and punchy a book as anything McPhee wrote in his thirties …. The book’s ostensible focus of imparting the wisdom accumulated over a lifetime of writing blurs often and very enjoyably with reminiscences about McPhee’s own long apprenticeship in the craft …. The star attraction here isn’t the method but the man; readers who go in knowing that will be endlessly fascinated―and may learn a good deal.” John McPhee has been a staff writer at the New Yorker since 1965. He is the author of nearly 30 books, including The Control of Nature, Uncommon Carriers, Silk Parachute, and The Pine Barrens. He is the recipient of the Award in Literature from the Academy of Arts and Letters as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Annals of the Former World. Robert Wright is the author of Why Buddhism is True, The Evolution of God, Nonzero, and The Moral Animal among other books. Joel Achenbach’s books in-

Best-selling author John G r i s h a m w i l l s p e a k at R ichards on Aud itor iu m, Princeton University, on Wednesday, October 25, at 4:30 p.m. The title of the event, “Appearing at the scene of the crime, John Grisham visits Princeton,” references his recent popular novel Camino Island. The fictional story opens with the theft of invaluable F. Scott Fitzgerald papers from Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Grisham will speak about his books and the art of writing with moderator Maria DiBattista ( Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Professor of English), followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience. The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Princeton Universit y Librar y. Admission is free. Tickets for the general public will be available starting October 19 at tickets.princeton. edu. Priority will be given to members of the Friends of the Princeton University Library. Tickets for Friends members are available now by calling (609) 258-9220. For information about becoming a member, please v isit fpul.pr inceton.edu ; limit: two tickets per membership. Tickets are available while supplies last. Pre-signed copies of Camino Island and The Rooster Bar will be available t h rough L aby r i nt h Books. The author will not sign books at the event. ———

Princeton & Slavery Project Continues With Sharon Draper

Author and educator Sharon Draper will talk about Copper Sun, her historic novel for young adults, Tuesday, October 24, at 6 p.m. at Princeton Public Library. Co-sponsored by the library and jaZams, her appearance is the centerpiece of a series of library programs presented this fall as part of Princeton University’s Princeton & Slavery Project. “I am very honored that the library has chosen Copper Sun for this project,” Draper said. “When I read about the [Princeton & Slavery] project, I was both amazed and impressed. Amazed that the topic would be discussed so honestly, and impressed that significant value has been placed on acknowledging and understanding the past. I hope that young readers learn that slavery is not just a chapter in a history book, but was a horrible reality for actual human beings.”

During her visit, Draper, a five-time Coretta Scott King Book Award-w inner and 1997’s National Teacher of the Year, will give an overview of Copper Sun, talk about her visits to Africa, and share her inspiration for the book. There will also be a short video presentation and a question-and-answer session. For more Pr inceton & Slavery events at the library, see princetonlibrary.org/humanities. Additional information about the Princeton & Slavery project, including the full schedule of Nov. 1718 symposium events, can be found at slaverysymposium.princeton.edu. ———

Morven Presents Talk On “Discovering Princeton”

Morven Museum and Garden presents photographer Wiebke Martens and historian Jennifer Jang — both Princeton residents — who will discuss their book Discovering Princeton: A Photographic Guide with Five Walking Tours, on Saturday, October 21 at 2 p.m. The afternoon talk will answer such questions such as how did Princeton become Princeton? And, what role did the Stockton family, Morven’s initial builders and residents,

play in the evolution of both the town and university? A book signing and a walking tour through the Mercer Hill neighborhood featuring Stockton family landmarks will follow the presentation. The book is also available in the Museum Shop at Morven. Wiebke Martens is a fine arts photographer with a focus on landscape and architectural photography. Her work has been exhibited in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and she is a licensed artist by Princeton University. Since moving to Princeton with her family ten years ago she has immersed herself in this town, wandering the streets, camera in hand, exploring its history. Jennifer Jang, a museum education consultant in Princeton, holds a doctorate in American civilization. Animating history is her specialty, and she has worked at a variety of institutions, including the Historical Society of Princeton, where she designed walking tours for children and adults. This is their first collaboration. Reservations are required. Tickets: $18; $15 Friends of Morven are available online at morven.org/programs or by calling (609) 924-8144

Planning Board continued from page one

Watershed Association; and then voted unanimously to recommend to the whole Planning Board that West Drive be deleted from the Circulation Element of the Master Plan. The full Planning Board is scheduled to meet on November 2 to consider the subcommittee’s recommendation. “It was a successful day for community organizing and for democracy in general,” said Karen Zemba, leader of the Springdale Institute Neighborhood Association (SPINA), recently created primarily to block a provision in the Master Plan draft that would open West Drive (currently running from Alexander Road past the highrise Lawrence Apartments and dead-ending at the border of the Rogers Wildlife Refuge and the Nassau Swim Club) to through traffic, connect it to Springdale Road, and establish the combined road as an alternative to Alexander Road. Since the 1960s the town has contemplated trying to relieve pressure on Alexander Road traffic by opening a Springdale-West Drive connection, Zemba said, “but realistically that would just create a bigger traffic jam on Mercer. Nobody at the meeting supported that plan.” In response to questions about West Drive’s inclusion in the Circulation Element of the Master Plan and what need there was for West Drive in the future, the Master Plan Subcommittee scheduled last Wednesday’s meeting, a public hear-

ing, and invited all interested community members to come and express their views and concerns before the November vote. Subcommittee Chair Gail Ullman described the discussion and process as “extremely positive, due to the way the residents presented their case. It could have been explosive, but the residents had thought through their arguments, and committee members agreed that we should remove the statement on West Drive from the Circulation Element. I think everybody left feeling good about the process.” In a s tatement is sued earlier in the week, SPINA said, “We are concerned about the possible environmental impact of making a combined Springdale RoadWest Drive major thoroughfare open to car, bus, and truck traffic. What effect would such a thoroughfare have on the air quality of the neighborhood, on the wetlands through which it would pass, and on the animal and plant life, including some threatened species, that currently thrives in the Rogers Wildlife Refuge, the Institute Woods, and along the D&R Canal and vicinity?” The SPINA statement went on to highlight the possible impact of a Spr ingdale West Drive thoroughfare on public safety, noting the residential character of the area between Springdale Road and Olden Lane, with 170 private homes and additional IAS housing. “A lex a n d er Ro ad m ay at times experience heavy traffic,” the SPINA statement continued, “but with its traffic lights, traffic cir-

cle, pedestrian crosswalks and width, it was designed to accommodate that traffic, always has been a major thoroughfare in and out of Princeton, and has only a relative handful of private homes at its north end.” Additional discussion at Wednesday’s meeting indicated that plans for a bike path, instead of the thoroughfare currently in the Master Plan, could be raised as an alternative proposal. —Donald Gilpin

PHS Senior Thanks Candidates for Participating In October 8 Not in Our Town-Sponsored Forum

To the Editor: First off, I would like to thank all of the School Board candidates who participated in the Not in Our Town-sponsored forum on Sunday October 8. All showed true commitment to listening and taking note of the students voices. Throughout the forum, the candidates were asked tough questions, posed by students themselves. There were a myriad of topics asked throughout the night, some being about race, discrimination, mental health, and discipline. A question that seemed to resonate well with the audience was: “Can you describe a conversation that you have initiated about race with your child?” Towards the end of the forum, questions were received from the audience, via flashcards. After the forum, audience comments were encouraging in the sense that the forum truly helped them form stronger opinions on the candidates, their positions, and who they are. Thank you to all 89 audience members for attending and participating in this important part of the democratic process. An additional thank you to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton for allowing us to use their beautiful space. VAlErIA TOrrES-OlIVArES ’18 Princeton High School

Beth Behrend Is Committed to Fiscal Prudence In Decisions Affecting the Taxpayer’s Wallet

To the Editor: I write to endorse Beth Behrend for Princeton’s Board of Education and to encourage Princeton to vote for Beth on November 7. I have worked closely with Beth as a fellow board member of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association where Beth is Board secretary, on the Executive Committee, and also serves on the Education and Development Committees. Beth put her legal skills to work in helping to update the organization’s by-laws and drafted a planned giving policy. She also helped expand the breadth of the Watershed’s environmental education programs to address next generation science standards and helped connect John Witherspoon Middle School’s classes with the Watershed’s outstanding environmental education programs. Beth has

Wonder what a girl can do?

been a dedicated board member and the Watershed is a better organization thanks to her service. I also am a member of Princeton’s Citizens Finance Advisory Committee and consequently am very familiar with our town’s financial picture, including the burden that high property taxes place on the community. In many conversations about town and school finances over the years, I have found that Beth is committed to fiscal prudence as a priority in decisions affecting the taxpayer’s wallet. Beth is a clear-thinking, level-headed, experienced leader who wholly commits herself to excellence and equity. Through her career in corporate law she advised on financings, acquisitions, governance, and regulatory matters. As a leader of the riverside PTO she raised over $50,000 for the school gardens. She understands finance, understands governance, understands organizational decision-making, and understands strategic planning. With these skills, I am confident that Beth will ensure that our schools deliver the highest quality education for every student while simultaneously honoring citizens’ concerns about higher taxes. Princeton’s schools and taxpayers would both be well served by having Beth Behrend on the School Board. SCOTT SIllArS Patton Avenue

and administrators, and a growing desire to improve the opportunities and outcomes for all our students regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or gender orientation. Michele’s service to this town is worth repeating. Not only was she mayor of Princeton Township for three years, she served on Town Council for six years, and served as police commissioner for two years. She’s been on many non-profit boards, committees, task forces and a consistent presence in the schools as an advocate for children besides her own. I’m pulling the lever for Michele. I encourage those who want the best for our community to do the same. FrANCES BrOADWAy CrAIg Maclean Street

I have known Julie and her family for ten years and am certain that she will do an exceptional job if elected to the School Board. With four children at Johnson Park, John Witherspoon, and Princeton High School; Julie knows our district well, is a passionate advocate for our public schools, and understands that job number one is to make sure that our children receive the highest quality education possible in an environment that gives every child, from all backgrounds, the opportunity to learn, grow, and realize their full potential. Julie also understands that we need to do this in a financially responsible manner. As a seven-year member of Princeton’s Citizen’s Finance Advisory Committee, I know how important it is to our residents to have great services AND keep tax increases as modest as possible. The school district has a large complex budget and, with a growing student body and insufficient space in almost every building, the School Board faces historic challenges related to physical expansion, capital spending, and long-term operational budgeting. With her successful 20-year career in finance and project management in the private sector, Julie has a unique background and skill set that makes her particularly well qualified to serve on the Board at this critical and difficult time. Our children deserve the best education we can afford and our taxpayers deserve elected representatives like Julie who bring professional expertise to the board, and who will preserve our schools’ excellence in the most efficient, responsible way. I strongly encourage you to join me in voting for Julie Ramirez (ballot position #5) for Board of Education on November 7. BRIAN MCDONAlD Journey’s End lane

teacher, Virginia Soltis, very warmly. She is an expert and encouraging trainer with rare human talents. There is a fly in the ointment. The new class on the ground floor is undersubscribed. In that circumstance, there is always worry that a space will be reassigned. I would like to thank the administration of the YMCA for making it possible for people with limited mobility to take part in the their wonderful program. I very much hope that the YMCA will see the way clear for maintaining and expanding this life enhancing program for senior citizens. ANNE MORRISON linwood Circle

Hoping YMCA Will Maintain and Expand Life Enhancing Program for Senior Citizens

To The Editor: I have been a member of the YMCA for many years and have found the aerobic exercises in the basement very helpful. lately I have such trouble navigating the steep staircase to reach the gym in the basement that I have been unable to continue with the exercises. However, a month ago, a new program called Senior Strong was offered (mainly chair exercises) in a different space on the ground floor. These workouts include light aerobic exercises, and exercises with weights, tubes, and balls to improve overall strength and coordination. These exercises have helped me very much. In earlier years and now again I thank the

The race finishes off at Trenton Thunder’s Arm & Hammer Park. Some 2,000 to 2,500 runners and over 1,500 spectators are expected. There are also 10K and 5K races, as well as a Kids Run, and BGC runners will be participating in those races as well. “It is our first year participating in the Trenton Half Marathon,” said David Anderson, CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of Mercer County. “We have set an ambitious fundraising goal of $100,000, and I am confident we will reach it, thanks to our fundraising co-chairs, Bill Sheehy and R.J.

Stories from Hopewell’s Past Are Topic of Special Program

On Wednesday, November 1 at 7 p.m., the Hopewell Public Library Wednesday Night Out Talk Series presents local historian Jack Koeppel at the Hopewell Theater, 5 South Greenwood Avenue, in a program of some of the lesserknown stories of Hopewell Village. While much of Hopewell’s architectural past has survived, many stories from the village’s past have been lost to time. The Frog War, St. Michael’s Orphanage, the utopian community of Ralston Heights, and the Castle. Many residents are aware of these legends, but don’t know the details. Koeppel sheds light on these better-known stories as well as the lesser-known tales of Hopewell: ES Wells’ Stock Farm and his Rough-OnRats fortune, John Piggott’s Hopewell Valley Agricultural Warehouse, Miss Boggs’ Hopewell Female Seminary, Hoproco tin toys, and Cox’s Shaving Parlor. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.redlibrary. org or Facebook, or call (609) 466-1625.

Noted Architects’ Works example of Graves’ design 7:30 p.m.: Performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Are On Annual House Tour philosophy.

The Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) holds its 16th annual House Tour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, November 4, at five distinctive homes in Princeton. Advance tickets are $45 for HSP members and $50 for non-members. All tickets purchased the day of the tour are $50. The house at 75 Cleveland Lane is the former estate of J. Seward Johnson Jr. and Kristina Johnson and was designed by Ernest Flagg in the 1920s. Flagg, a notable American architect, also designed the Scribner Building in New York City and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Recently spared from demolition, this estate was recently renovated, top to bottom, by Grant Homes Custom Builders. The Chateau-style stone mansion and carriage house now feature custom details including a Christopher Peacock kitchen and a built-in sound system with 26 speakers. Historic architectural features, like exposed stone walls and beams, carved banisters, and a cement tile floor, remain preserved. Around the corner at 73 Library Place is a house designed in 1897-1898 by the Philadelphia-based architectural firm, Cope and Stewardson. The half-timbered Tudor Revival house was built for Princeton University mathematics professor and Dean of Faculty H.B. Fine, after whom Fine Hall is named. Cope and Stewardson designed several Princeton campus buildings, such as Blair Hall and Ivy Club. The homeowners have painstakingly preserved historic architectural features, such as decorative plaster ceilings, hand-leaded windows, or iginal wood paneling, carved wooden archways, and gargoyles. Prev ious owners installed chandeliers from the Paramount Theater in New York City, when the theater closed in the mid20th century. The house at 44 Patton Avenue, also known as “The Warehouse,” served as Michael Graves’ personal home for over 40 years and was recently purchased by Kean University. The University’s college of architecture and design bears Graves’ name. Graves was a post-modernist architect who took on the renovation of this home himself. The Warehouse, built in 1927, originally served as a storage warehouse for the Italian stonemasons building Princeton University’s neo-Gothic campus buildings. The house serves as t he pr ime and personal

The home at 50 Patton Avenue has a golden stone façade, broad porch, and views of the Michael Graves residence. This bungalow, built in the late nineteenteens, was renovated by local interior designer Katie Eastridge. Unique historic features, such as a Moravian tile fireplace, a claw-foot tub, and original hardwood floors coexist with contemporary additions, such as glazed cement tiles in the fully renovated kitchen. The interior design alludes to the owners’ love of books. Builder Charles Steadman is responsible for 40 Mercer Street and its semi-detached neighbor in the 1830s, as part of the most intact surv iv ing neighborhood for Princeton’s early middleclass settlers. Sometimes referred to as Princeton’s first real estate developer, Steadman designed over 70 buildings in Princeton, including the Nassau Presbyterian Church. As the leader of Princeton’s Greek Revival, Steadman leaves a visible architectural legacy in the town, with about 40 of his designs still standing. This house was renovated, adding a curtained sun porch, a breakfast room, and fully modernized kitchen, while preserving period details, like knobs, plaster molding, and fireplaces. Proceeds help fund the Historical Society’s core mission activities throughout the year, including exhibitions, collections care, and engaging educational programming for schools and families. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (609) 921-6748 x105. Tickets may also be purchased online at www. princetonhistor y.org. On the day of the event, tickets may be purchased at the Updike Farmstead, 354 Quaker Road, or by cash and check at any of the five homes on the tour.

archaeology that reflects the way places and historical narratives get built up, torn down, grown over, excavated, rebuilt, repurposed, and reborn.” Wendel White’s Schools for the Colored series depicts the architecture and geography of America’s educational apartheid, in the form of a system of “colored schools” within the landscape of southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. He uses large format film to capture images of buildings or locations that were designated as such then scans the image and creates a digital mask indicating where the former building once stood in contrast to what stands there today. The images are then printed digitally in black and white. Annie Hogan’s dreamlike photographs of buildings at the Berkeley Plantation in Virginia fuse the mansions of masters with the houses of slaves. In her series Double Vision and Bloodlines, she starts with large format negatives, either layering or masking the images to further the narrative. In the Double Vision series, negatives are layered together and printed traditionally, while the Bloodlines series uses pinhole camera negatives and selective application of the cyanotype emulsion. Casey Ruble uses handmade, reflective silver paper, layered over a digital image, to create collages that subtly push the image into three dimensions. Depicting present-day locations that were

once safe houses on the Underground Railroad or places where riots broke out, the collages both eliminate and enhance details to suggest subtle narratives. Leslie Sheryll pulls her imagery from tintypes of women that she has collected over the decades. She scans and manipulates the images by voiding, veiling, superimposing, and/or colorizing and embellishing the subjects for emphasis. These appropriated images, reworked to suggest the unseen complexity of women, draw attention to their individual stories, plucked from obscurity and reimagined through the eyes of a 21st century female gaze. Ann LePore’s three-dimensional Modern Catholic Kitchen started with an analog image pulled from a Portapack film reel shot in her mother’s kitchen during her childhood. The lithographs are the final product of a complex process that includes projection, analog Polaroid capture and development, darkroom enlargement, lithograph platemaking, and hand printing on Plexiglass. The final image is housed in a wooden box and lit from behind. In Forbidden Views, glass lantern slides, decommissioned from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, are deconstructed and realigned to provide a multi layered look at shifting perspective. “Reconstructed History” is on view in the Arts Council of Princeton’s Taplin Gallery through November 25, with an artist panel on Saturday, October 21, from 4-5 p.m., followed by an opening reception from 5-7 p.m. Paul Robeson Center for the Arts is at 102 Witherspoon Street in Princeton.

Jim Cascio Exhibit at Hopewell Valley Bistro

The Hopewell Valley Bistro and Inn will premiere the exhibition “Jim Cascio: From Where I Sit,” painted reminiscences of a self-taught artist, on Sunday, October 22.

The Inn will hold an opening reception for the artist on Sunday, October 22 from 4 to 6 p.m. The reception is free of charge and open to the public. All artwork is for sale.

He is best known for his personal perspective and realistic depictions of the extraordinary in everyday life. Cascio has exhibited in Lake Placid, N.Y.; Warren, Vt.; and throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Hopewell Valley Bistro and Inn began the rotating series of art exhibitions in January to support local artists. Susan Molnar, owner of the Inn, said, “It’s exciting to have new art in the bistro every few weeks. This area is rich with local talent and I’m happy to support area artists by opening my bistro to their art. It’s my pleasure to give them a platform to show their work. And I’m happy to share that with my customers.” Area watercolorist Robert Sakson continues his extended exhibition in the banquet room with new seasonal work.

Sakson has earned signature memberships in the Garden State Watercolor Society, New Jersey Watercolor Society, Philadelphia Watercolor Society, Allied Artists of America, Pastel Society of America, and the American Watercolor Society, earning a Dolphin Fellowship.

and Vivian Hung, the online company specializes in helping clients find the special look that reflects their taste and unique style. “Our design speaks to the client’s individuality and personality,” explains Vivian. “There are a variety of living situations, and we are problem-solvers. The client may have a specific idea and want us to execute it. We can act as visionaries for the client’s interior space.” Vivian and Joe, who are married, bring unique experience to their company. Both were executives in the art and advertising world of New York City. Joe served as marketing director for Vogue magazine, and Vivian was an art director for clients, including Assouline Publishing and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Their lives took a new direction in 2000 when they traveled the world, visiting 21 countries on six continents for more than a year. As they explain, “T he places we saw, the adventures we had, and the people we met taught us one

important lesson: we are all the same. Regardless of culture, religion, or economic status, we all want love and happiness for ourselves, family, and friends as well as the opportunity to lead productive, important lives.” During their journey, they also saw a great variety of furniture, and witnessed how it was made and distributed to various locations around the world. Upon their return to the U.S., they settled in Sullivan County, N.Y., and began selling imported furniture and accessories. “Our aim was to capture the feeling of what we discovered during our travels, and re-interpret it into an environment in which our customers can easily see how to incorporate it into their own homes. We sell a style that is internationally-inspired yet fresh. We like to call it ‘Modern International’. High Quality “Our high quality furniture comes from all over and includes many styles. It is both domestic and imported, including from India and the

Far East. In addition, we have exceptionally fine custom upholstered pieces from California.” Joe and Vivian established retail locations in a number of settings, including Manhattan, before deciding to transfer to an online operation. As they explain, “GlobalHomeNY.com represents the best of the selections that have been in our retail locations. Now, our customers can shop from the comfort of their computer or phone.” The interior design segm e nt of t h e i r b u s i n e s s evolved as a result of requests from their furniture customers, explains Joe. “T hey began ask ing for design help because they liked what we had done in the stores. We had set up sample rooms to help them see what they could do in their own homes. “The feel for design was heightened by our experience exploring the furniture world. Everything came together, including the education from our previous careers and our travels. It set the stage for what we do now.” Adds Viv ian : “We had Continued on Next Page

trained our eye to understand luxury in design. We also have a deeper understanding of how things are made. And, in addition, because we essentially have two businesses — design and the furniture — we can go right to our own warehouse for furniture for our clients. This saves time and added expense. We can pass these savings on to our clients. “On the other hand, if clients wish, we will also go antiquing to find something special for them. It is very impor tant to establish a sense of trust with our clients.” Design Focus Their design focus has been primarily residential alt hough t hey have had some commercial projects, including a restaurant and a hotel. Clients are from all over the country, including Princeton. Vivian and Joe’s appearance on Open House, a real estate/interior design TV show, resulted in many new clients. They also have many repeat and referral clients. Projects are typically fullscale involv ing mu lt iple rooms, reports Vivian. “We have designed everything from country homes to city lofts, and we’re currently working on a townhouse in Brooklyn. We also do new construction projects. With

new construction, there is no life in it yet. We help to infuse it with the personality of the client.” Fall is a very busy time for home improvement, she adds, and many people are looking forward to getting their house ready for the holidays. “In fall and winter, homeowners typically spend more time indoors, and it’s a good time to make alterations. Styles change, and many of our clients want to make their home more up-to-date. Sometimes, if the children are grown and gone, parents will want to change a bedroom into a den or home office. The first thing is to find out the client’s priorities for the space. They often want a change in style or feeling. “Recently, a client said to us, ‘I always wanted white furniture, but I couldn’t with the kids. But now they’re grown, and I can!’” “We help to establish a nice flow from room to room, so there is a comfortable fit,” adds Joe. “Colors can continue to each room as accents, if the clients wish, and currently, people are selecting cool colors, such as gray and blue. Overall, they generally like light, bright looks.” Form and Function Combining form and function is often as challenging as putting the pieces of a puzzle together, he notes. The creative aspect has to

blend with the business side, including budget and time frame considerations. “In our work, art and logic intersect. We use both art and logistics. It’s problemsolving with art.” It is definitely work they both enjoy. As Vivian says, “Every day is a new day, and we are excited to be in the Princeton market. Stylistically, there is a sophisticated level in Princeton that is suited to our style. “We look forward to expanding the business and taking on challenging new projects. We would enjoy working on a restaurant of small hotel in addition to our residential work. With our ability to offer our design expertise combined with our opportunities to supply the finest furniture and home furnishings, we can offer clients something special.” Website : w w w.global homeNY.com. —Jean Stratton

Remodel, Renovate, Refresh, and Revitalize With the Guidance of Dickson Development

imes change, styles change. But — whatever the latest trends and styles — your home should be your personal sanct uar y, says R ichard Dickson, owner of Dickson Development.

“Every project is different. We are helping people solve problems and realize their individual dream!” Richard Dickson has been doing this for a long time. He opened Dickson Development in 1972, but his in-

terest in building goes back even further. “My dad was a builder, and when I was 10 years old, I was on a construction site. I loved building, and I knew then that was what I wanted to do.”

Customized Housing He began his career building tract subdivisions, moving to West Windsor in the 1980s, and opened his current headquarters at 666 Plainsboro Road in Plainsboro 20 years ago. Early on, the business transitioned into customized housing based on a unified concept, Dickson

explains. “Each subdivision was developed using original architectural work, which allowed for customization by the owner.” H i s s p e c if i c fo c u s on renovation began when a customer requested an additional bathroom, and as he says, “I found my niche, and started renovating and customizing houses.” During the 1990s, many clients wanted additions and renovations to their existing homes, and he responded by developing his own concept of design/build both for new and previously built houses. The focus of Dickson Development’s work is residential, with renovations and additions a major part of the business. With the open concept so popular today, the company is busy reconfiguring and opening up floor plans. “Basically, there are two kinds of clients wanting renovations,” explains Dickson. “those who have just bought a house and want to renovate, and clients who want to renovate their existing house. With the economic problems going back to 2008, many people decided to renovate rather than move. They’ll say ‘I like the house and want to stay, but how can I change it to be different, more modern and up-to-date?’” Open Look That’s when Dickson Development comes in to offer solutions, solve problems, and make dreams come true. “In older homes, those built in the the 1950s, ’60s,

and ’70s, there were lots of walls,” he points out. “Today, people want an open look, with a flow. So a lot of our renovation involves taking down walls.” In addition, he notes that homeowners want larger kitchens and bathrooms. “In older homes, the concept of the master bedroom often had a smaller bath. Now, we do a lot of renovation of baths and kitchens.” Larger islands are especially popular in kitchens today, and as he reports, people enjoy sitting at the island and eating there. It reinforces the concept of the kitchen as a gathering place, the “heart of the home.” He adds that in newer homes and renovations of older homes, the dining room is often eliminated. “The lifestyle is more informal today, and people don’t seem to want formal dining rooms. They like the idea of the kitchen opening into the family room.” Another feature of Dickson Development’s renovations includes the introduction of an adult children’s or in-law suite. “We often remodel the first floor to customize rooms for parents and in-laws, and perhaps add a separate full bath or enlarge the existing bath. These are custom projects.” Interesting Variation In an interesting variation, Dickson describes a recent project in which a young couple with a family purchased their parents’ home, moved in, and renovated the garage into an area for the parents. Continued on Page 30

TEAM WORK: “Our goal is that after the renovation, people won’t know it’s done. It’s a seamless look, all within the style of the existing house. Quality of construction and a high level of personal customer service are most important to us.” The team at Dickson Development includes, from left, design consultant Fran Berkowitz, administrative assistant Ronnie Rudolph, owner Richard Dickson, and project coordinator Bonnie Foster.

“A couple with children moved into their parents’ house and converted the garage into a master suite for the parents. We are seeing more of this, with kids moving into the parents’ home and making it their own, with the parents staying on.” Enlarging space is also a big part of the renovation. As Dickson points out, “In a recent project, we took the roof off the house and added a second floor.”

Renovations

There are myriad possibilities and needs for customization today, and Dickson Development is able to solve many re-configuration problems. For example, he says, “We have done customized adaptations to the home for handicapped adults and children. This can include bathroom configurations and special entry ramps, making them attractive as well as functional. This can be difficult work, but it is very rewarding. it’s very important to establish a relationship with all of our clients, so there is trust.”

In addition, many Dickson Development clients have companion animals, and he reports making entry doors for pets and also special bathing areas for dogs. Another important area today is a designated space for a mud room, often combined with a laundry room. “This wasn’t available in older homes, where there was just an entry,” he explains. “Now, families want cubbies for storage and an area for kids to have sports equipment, boots, etc. A place to put things away.”

Additions

3-Season Room Outdoor living is uppermost with many homeowners today, and this has led to the popularity of the 3-season room, he adds. “This can involve a screened-in porch, but with added supplemental heat, glass walls, and other features. It’s living inside and outside in the same room.” Dickson Development is comfortable working with all size projects — from one room to the entire house and in every style, including contemporary, traditional,

Custom New Homes

or rustic. Meeting the needs of the client is always uppermost. “We provide everything for them — whether it’s kitchen cabinets, appliances, new windows, and more,” says Dickson. “We have great relationships with our trade partners and suppliers, our carpenters, plumbers, electricians, an so on. They deliver quality work, and there is great loyalty.” The company’s target area is mainly Princeton and the immediate surroundings, he notes. “I limit work to within a seven-mile radius of Princeton. I want to be near the site so I can supervise the work. I try to visit the site every day. It’s very important to bring the project in on time and within budget.” The time frame for completion varies depending on the scope of the job, he adds. Typically, a big project will take five to seven months, with just a kitchen or bath requiring three to four months. The company has received awards from the National Association of Home Builders ( NAHB ), New Jersey Builders Association, and others. It has established a respected reputation as a leader in energy-efficiency

design, and Dickson has been certified as a Green Professional by the NAHB. He notes that the business has changed over the years, especially with technological advances. “The speed of communication has changed tremendously. Getting the word out with the Internet, websites, Facebook, and more is so quick. We can reach people instantly. We have a very strong online presence.” But what has not changed is Dickson Development’s focus on providing clients with high quality work and superior customer service, he emphasizes. Most of the company’s work is referral, and there are many repeat clients. “I love building, and we have a personal relationship with our clients. That is the way we do business, At Dickson Development, we understand that your home is more than a physical space. A home should be a comfortable retreat, a gathering spot, and a place to express your sense of style and nurture your soul. We are not building basic shelter. We are building homes for families.” Website: www.dicksondevelopment.com. —Jean Stratton

“A Night With Janis Joplin” Is an Energetic Musical Tribute; Randy Johnson’s Broadway Concert Plays at McCarter Theatre

Night with Janis Joplin is playing at McCarter’s Matthews Theatre. Written and directed by Randy Johnson, this raw, high-energy entertainment is a tribute to Joplin and several of the artists who inspired her. Although the show undoubtedly holds special resonance for Joplin’s fans, multi-generational audiences are likely to enjoy this rousing mix of blues, soul, and psychedelic rock. The show is a work of theater in that the performers portray iconic musical artists. The format is that of a rock concert — set a week before Joplin’s death — in which the singers are aware they are performing in the present time and place. They frequently address the audience, encouraging us to sing along. Janis Lyn Joplin (1943-1970) grew up in Port Arthur, Texas. Although her family life was relatively happy, she was treated badly at school, and saw herself as an outcast in her community. For this reason she identified with the music of blues singers such as Bessie Smith. Through music promoter Chet Helms she went to San Francisco in 1966, to join the band Big Brother and the Holding Company. The band played the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967. In 1968 Joplin formed the Kozmic Blues Band, with whom she performed at Woodstock. After the Kozmic Blues Band’s dissolution in 1969 she formed the Full Tilt Boogie Band. Despite her success she could not overcome an addiction to heroin. She died of a drug overdose at age 27. In 1995 Joplin was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Randy Johnson, who produced Always, Patsy Cline and co-conceived Elvis the Concert, created A Night with Janis Joplin at the behest of Joplin’s family. Her siblings, Laura and Michael Joplin, provided Johnson with all of her journals and recordings. After receiving a world premiere at Portland Center Stage in 2011, and subsequent productions at Arena Stage and the Cleveland Play House, the show briefly played at Broadway’s Lyceum Theater in 2013. This current production was presented by the American Conservatory Theater in June. Ostensibly a biography of Joplin, fundamentally the work is a tribute to female singers — and to inspiration itself. The show demonstrates the evolution of musical interpretation, as multiple performers frequently offer contrasting renditions of the same song. Johnson has conceived a concert in which Janis Joplin shares the stage with several of the artists who influenced her style. In one case this would have been impossible; Bessie Smith (1894-1937) died before Joplin was born. The other singers, while older than Joplin, were her contemporaries: Odetta (1930-2008), Nina Simone (1933-2003), Etta James (1938-2012), and Aretha Franklin (born 1942, the year before Joplin). These artists are portrayed by the “Joplinaires,” a quartet that provides backup vocals for Joplin. Because the title role is vocally demanding, it

is filled, in alternate performances, by two singers: Kacee Clanton and Kelly McIntyre. Clanton, who previously performed the role in the course of the show’s Broadway run, will sing the evenings of October 19-21, 26, 28, and the matinee of October 29. McIntyre, who was heard by this reviewer, will sing the matinees of October 21, 22, 26, 28, and the evening of October 27. McIntyre joined the first national tour in 2016, and has performed the role in four subsequent productions. As Joplin, McIntyre effectively captures the late singer’s raw yet versatile vocal style, nervous energy, and uninhibited passion mixed with unexpected humor. In performance the real-life Joplin was almost always in motion, habitually brushing her hair with her hand; McIntyre imitates that mannerism without overusing it. More important, McIntyre consistently cultivates a rapport with the other musicians. Onstage chemistry was essential to Joplin, and it is abundant when McIntyre delivers trademark Joplin songs including “Tell Mama,” in which Joplin is joined by Tawny Dolley as Etta James; “Try (Just a Little Bit Harder);” and “Cry Baby.” The band, under the direction of keyboardist Todd Olson, particularly stands out during Joplin’s rendition of “Maybe.” Saxophonist Jeremy Clayton, trumpeter Jeff Ostroski, and trombonist Matt Melone echo the rich sound of the band Chicago (Tranist Authority), which opened for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1968. Guitarists Steve Gibb and Alexander Prezzano, bassist Aiden Moore, and drummer Jeff Roberts provide a rhythmic, sturdy accompaniment throughout the entire performance. Early in the show, “Maybe” is first performed

by the vocal quartet, in the guise of the Chantels, a female group that originated in the 1950s. As with other songs, Joplin’s blues-inspired rendition is juxtaposed with the original doo-wop performance by the Chantels. Although the show is not a traditional musical, Joplin reveals that she was exposed to musicals such as My Fair Lady and West Side Story by her mother, who often listened to cast albums. Joplin goes on to mention that one of her own favorite works was Porgy and Bess. This provides a cue for two contrasting renditions of “Summertime.” The first is by Sharon Catherine Brown, as a nameless “Blues Woman.” Brown’s version is largely traditional, taking minimal liberties with Gershwin’s melody. Her performance is exquisite as she delicately caresses each note. McIntyre responds, letting Joplin infuse the song with her raw, distinct style. Later Brown retakes the stage to perform “Today I Sing the Blues.” She employs her visceral emotion, high vocal range, and acute sense of timing to make the number a showstopper. Equally strong is Sylvia MacCalla, whose lower timbre is a contrast to Brown’s. As Odetta, MacCalla delivers a pensive, broadly phrased performance of “Down on Me.” Similarly, MacCalla infuses “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out” with a warm, matter-of-fact sincerity as Bessie Smith. As Aretha Franklin, Amma Osei compels the audience to participate. Declaring that the Queen of Soul wishes to share the stage with the Queen of Rock and Roll, she leads the audience in a chant: “what the Queen wants, the Queen gets!” Chiding the audience for being too reticent, she quips “this is not The

“A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN”: Performances are underway for “A Night with Janis Joplin.” Written and directed by Randy Johnson, the musical runs through October 29 at McCarter’s Matthews Theatre. Janis Joplin (Kacee Clanton, front and center) gives a high-energy concert, backed by the Joplinaires: Sharon Catherine Brown, left; Amma Osei; Sylvia MacCalla; and Tawny Dolley. (Photo by T.

Lawrence Welk Show,” underlining a subtle cultural tension. The call-and-response continues in the stirring anthem “Spirit in the Dark,” with its repeated interjection of “say yeah.” The number is a musical communion for Franklin and Joplin, their clasped hands accentuating their bond as they finish the song — and the first act. “Kozmic Blues” and “I Shall Be Released” form an exquisite medley for the quartet. Osei, MacCalla, Dolley, and Brown blend together beautifully as each adds her rich, stirring voice. “I’m Gonna Rock My Way to Heaven” is a rousing anthem written for Joplin in 1970, by record producer Jerry Ragovovoy. Joplin died before she could sing it, and it went unperformed until the 2011 premiere of A Night with Janis Joplin, which Ragovoy attended shortly before his own death later that year. Here, Joplin conversationally mentions that the song was written for her, and casually asks if the audience if they wish to hear it. The costumes by Amy Clark faithfully evoke the style of Joplin’s wardrobe. The glittery bellbottoms, loose-fitting shirts, and fringed jackets — punctuated by a colorful necklace and hair feathers — effectively establish the period as well as Joplin’s style. Like McIntyre’s performance, the choreography by Patricia Wilcox captures Joplin’s frantic energy, providing the Joplinaires with rapid, staccato movements. A video screen in the back of the stage serves to display Joplin’s portrait of her sister Laura, family photographs, and a series of abstract psychedelic images. The artwork and photographs are fascinating to view, but the other images become somewhat distracting in a show that already gives the audience much to see and hear. Johnson’s direction uses levels thoughtfully. For much of the concert, Joplin is on stage with her band. As she remembers artists who inspired her, they sing on an upper level before descending a staircase and joining her onstage. This is turned around in the finale, “Mercedes Benz,” in which it is Joplin who sings on the upper level before joining her muses. In between songs, and often during them, Joplin speaks to the audience, delivering acerbic one-liners that reveal her anxieties about loneliness and death. “Onstage, I make love to 25,000 people — then I go home alone,” she remarks. Elsewhere she pointedly comments that “People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.” acing this inherent misery, which informs so many of the performances, somewhat paradoxically results in a musical event that is empowering and even life-affirming. “All you really have that really matters are feelings, the real-life Joplin once said. “That’s what music is to me.” The cast of A Night with Janis Joplin delivers their songs with soulful, unconstrained passion; this invites the audience to be equally uninhibited. —Donald H.

Victoria and Abdul

Biopic Chronicles Friendship Between Queen Victoria and Muslim Servant

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA Michael Pratt, Conductor

40th Anniversary Season as Music Director

SEASON OPENING MOZART

n 1887, 24-year-old Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) was sent from India to England to represent India by presenting Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) with a gold coin that commemorated her Golden Jubilee year as the Queen. When he presented the coin at a banquet at Windsor Castle, he managed to catch the attention of the lonely monarch. In fact, she was so taken with Karim that she made him her companion and promoted him to be her “munshi,” Urdu for teacher. Not surprisingly, this development didn’t sit well with members of the royal court, especially her son, Bertie (Eddie Izzard). The crown prince was suspicious of the interloper’s intentions and was concerned about how things looked with his widowed mum having a handsome young Muslim at her side. However, Victoria brushed aside any objections as racial prejudice, and kept Abdul on as her trusted confidant until she passed away in 1901. Based on Shrabani Basu’s bestseller of the same name, Victoria and Abdul describes the unlikely friendship that developed between her majesty and her devoted subject. Directed by two-

time Oscar nominee Stephen Frears (The Queen and The Grifters), this “mostly true” tale portrays the relationship as a dramatic comedy whose comedic elements outweigh its dramatic moments. Dame Judi Dench, who won an Academy award for playing Queen Elizabeth, is again at her best here as an imperious, but vulnerable, Queen. She plays an empathetic visionary adrift in a sea of intolerance that is swarming with British bigots who are too blinded by hate to begin to understand a mild-mannered foreigner whose customs are different than theirs. The picture’s transparent message about brotherhood is delivered in too heavy-handed a fashion to take seriously. Nevertheless, the movie’s lighter moments generate enough laughs to make the movie worth seeing. Very Good (HH½ stars). Rated PG-13 for profanity and mature themes. In English, Hindi, and Urdu with subtitles. Running time: 111 minutes. Production Studio: BBC Films/Working Title Films/Perfect World Pictures. Distributor: Focus Features. —Kam Williams

The “mommy makeover”

Board certified plastic surgeon Arthur Perry, MD, FACS Pregnancy takes a toll on women’s bodies, stretching the mom’s tummy outward and causing the breasts to droop. The mommy makeover combines a tummy tuck with either a breast lift or augmentation. Tummy tucks fix the outward belly pouching and remove stretch marks and extra skin in about 3-4 hours. Appearance, exercise tolerance, and posture are improved after surgery. Also during pregnancy, breasts grow rapidly but after delivery, they shrink and droop. A lift, with or without an implant can restore a beautiful appearance to the breasts. These procedures take 2-4 hours to perform. The mommy makeover combines both procedures in a single 6 hour procedure. While usually uneventful, the complication rate is significantly higher when both procedures are performed together. Those complications include bleeding, blood clots, and even deaths. My attitude is “safety first”. For this reason, I don’t think the mommy makeover is appropriate. A safer approach is to have two separate shorter procedures separated by a few months.

Rider Theatre will present Bertolt Brecht’s comic moral fable The Good Person of Setzuan in the Bart Luedeke Center Theater on the campus of Rider University in Lawrenceville October 25 through October 29. A preview performance will be Wednesday, October 25 at 7:30 p.m., and performances will be Thursday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, October 27 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, October 28 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, October 29 at 2 p.m. Rider University students will perform in the production, directed by Louis F. Goldberg. T he G o o d Pe r s on of Setzuan is one of B ertolt Brecht’s most popular works. When the gods come to Earth in search of a thoroughly good person, they encounter Shen Teh, a goodhearted but penniless prostitute, who offers them shelter. Rewarded with enough money to open a tobacco shop, Shen Teh soon becomes so overwhelmed by the demands of people seeking assistance that she invents a male alter ego, Shui Ta, to deal ruthlessly with the business of living in an evil world. “Brecht’s examination of the quality of goodness in a world where one must surely give it up in order to survive raises more questions than it answers,” says Goldberg. “Is it possible to remain good in a world where evil is celebrated? Is goodness even a quality worth pursuing in modern civilization? It has been such a joy to watch our Rider students grapple with these questions during what

lives. The journey has been rewarding, indeed.” Goldberg is an adjunct assistant professor in the musical theater program. At Rider he has directed the musical revue Cole, and he has served as musical director for The Wedding Singer, The Light in the Piazza, and Rent. He has conducted more than 300 musicals across the United States and Europe, including tours of Man of La Mancha starr ing Hal L inden, Caba ret, Chicago, and 42nd Street. At the Zurich Opera House, he conducted Man of La Mancha, directed by the original director, Albert Marre, and starring the original Aldonza, Joan Diener. Rider University’s Theatre program has a rich tradition of preparing students for successful careers in all aspects of the theater. Graduates of the program are working with national theater companies, in film and on television. Its campus productions have earned critical praise for more than 50 years and offer the community the opportunity to see aspiring actors in the early stages of their careers.

With Morey Taking Helm of PU Women’s Hockey, Foundation in Place to Continue Winning Ways

espite the departure of longtime head coach Jeff Kampersal, there is no reason to expect drastic changes around the Princeton University women’s hockey team this winter. With top assistant Cara Morey being promoted to head coach to succeed Kampersal, who is now guiding the Penn State women’s team after a superb 21-year tenure at Princeton, the Tigers shouldn’t miss a beat. “I was fortunate enough that Jeff had given me a lot of responsibility before he left,” said Morey, who is in her seventh season with the Princeton program and has also coached with Team Canada. “Things transitioned pretty smoothly for the girls because a lot of our systems and stuff are familiar to them. We have made some subtle changes and nuances, not anything dramatic. It has

been pretty seamless for the girls.” With Princeton bringing back some key players from a 2016-17 squad that went 20-10-3 and advanced to the ECAC Hockey semifinals, the Tigers have hit the ice running since starting practice on September 29. “The preseason has been awesome; our girls came back in phenomenal shape,” said Morey, whose team opens the 2017-18 campaign by hosting a two-game set against Providence on October 20-21. “The fitness testing was really smooth. I was really happy with all the results.” Morey is really happy to have the one-two punch of junior Karlie Lund (21 goals and 23 assists in 2016-17) and sophomore Carly Bullock (20 goals, 10 assists) spearheading her offense. “Lund and Bullock look awesome; they look like they haven’t taken any time off,” said Morey of the two stars who both hail from Eden Prairie, Minn. and played together in high school at The Blake School in the Minneapolis area. “They hit things in full stride. I am pretty excited to see what they are going to do this year. They have been together since they were little kids.” A trio of veterans, senior Kiersten Falck (5 goals, 13

assists), junior Keiko DeClerck (1 goal, 3 assists), and sophomore MacKenzie Ebel (1 goal), has the ability to do some big things this winter. “Falck is really stepping into her role as captain, Keiko has brought a whole another level of speed which she didn’t know she could bring,” said Morey. “MacKenzie has stepped up a whole other level. She has gotten quicker; she has got some finesse in her hands.” Morey believes the team’s five talented freshman forwards, Annie MacDonald, Shannon Griffin, Sharon Frankel, Amanda Harris, and Sarah Verbeek, should get up to speed quickly. “They are all going to get ice time right away, they are going to contribute on both special teams,” said Morey, who got two goals from MacDonald and one from Griffin in a 3-0 win over Team China in an exhibition game last Monday. “They all stand out in different ways. They all bring something a little bit different, which is really good.” Princeton boasts a good crew of veterans on defense in junior Stephanie Sucharda (12 assists), junior Kimiko Marinacci (1 goal, 3 assists), senior Emily Achterkirch (1 goal, 3 assists) and a trio of sophomores: Claire

NEAT STUFF: Princeton University women’s hockey goalie Steph Neatby makes a save in action last winter. Sophomore goalie Neatby is coming off a superb debut season, getting named as the ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Year and the USCHO Division I Rookie of the Year. The Tigers, who will be guided by Cara Morey after the departure of longtime head coach Jeff Kampersal to Penn State, start their 2017-18 campaign by hosting a two-game set against Providence (4-2) on October 20-21. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Thompson (6 goals, 14 assists), Sylvie Wallin (3 goals, 6 assists), and Julia Edgar (1 goal, 9 assists). “Steph, Kimiko, and Emily are our oldest three veterans back there,” said Morey. “Sucharda has tremendous poise in the back; she breaks the puck out better than anybody I have ever seen. All six of our defensemen have hit the ice with a lot of confidence and they look like leaders back there. The D-corps is really solid from one through six.” Having sophomore star Steph Neatby at goalie gives the Tigers a lot of confidence. The 6’0 native of Toronto, Ontario came up big last year, posting a 1.52 goals against average and

a .950 save percentage on the way to being named the ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Year and the USCHO Division I Rookie of the Year. “Steph looks awesome; she takes up so much net and she is extremely athletic,” said Morey, who has senior Alysia DaSilva (2.04 goals against average,.921 save percentage) and freshman Rachel McQuigge backing up Neatby. “She is unconventional in making saves that are more like Dominic Hasek-esque. She is going to be pushed because the other two goalies are really strong as well.” The Tigers will be pushed hard by Providence (4-2) on opening weekend. “Providence is a very

strong team this year so we are going to be in for a battle,” said Morey. “It is going to be a tough series against Providence and our girls are going to have to be ready to go.” If Princeton adjusts well to its new leadership and has some luck on the injury front, it should be tough to beat this winter. “I think a key to success is going to be our work ethic on the ice,” asserted Morey. “We have high end talent and we have gritty depth. We only have 16 skaters so we have to stay healthy and stay extremely fit. If we can come together as a team and one unit, I think we can beat any team in the country.” —Bill Alden

Even though it won three of its first four games this fall, the Princeton University football team was still searching for consistency as played at Brown last Saturday. “As I told them during the week and then reiterated on Friday night, in each of our games we have had 1015 minutes where we have played extremely well,” said Princeton head coach Bob Surace. “There is another 30-40 minutes of competitive play, two good teams going at each other, back and forth, typical football. Then we have 10-12 minutes where we just don’t execute very well; it is just sloppy and we have to get rid of that.” The players took the message to heart, rolling to a 53-0 rout of Bears before a crowd of 3,028 at Brown Stadium as the Tigers improved to 4-1 overall and 1-1 Ivy League. “I thought this is one of the better games we have had at being consistent for 60 minutes on all sides of the ball,” said Surace, whose team outgained Brown 538 yards to 170 and led 16-0 after the first quarter and 36-0 at halftime. Junior running back Charlie Volker produced one of the better rushing performances in recent years for the Tigers, gaining 163 yards on 16 carries with four touchdowns as Princeton out-gained Brown 284-55 on the ground. “He had a great camp t his su m mer but at t he end of camp, he had an illness and had to miss the

opening game,” said Surace of Volker, a star for the Tiger track team and an Ivy champion sprinter. “I think it took a lot out of him. He looked great in practice last week and we feel like we have the same guy now who was running the ball in camp and that is a real positive thing.” Vo l k e r d i s p l a y e d h i s sprinter’s speed in the second quarter, racing down the sideline for a 96-yard TD run, breaking a 65-year mark for longest rushing score in program history. “It was the longest run in Princeton history and that is 148 years, it was the great Homer Smith’s record before that,” added Surace of the legendary Smith, who had a 93-yard touchdown run against Yale on November 15, 1952. “At that point we were backed up and to go 96 yards, that was impressive.” The Tigers got an impressive passing performance from senior quarterback and tri-captain Chad Kanoff as he completed 21-of-27 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns on a rainy afternoon in Providence, R.I. “They are one of the top teams in the country in sacks and tackles for a loss and I thought we really executed that area very well,” said Surace. “Our routes were crisp, we got great yards after the catch. It wasn’t the easiest day to throw the ball downfield but we really executed a m id -range pas s game throughout the game very well.” On the other side of the

ball, senior tri-captain Kurt Holuba, led the defensive charge, pick ing up t wo sacks and a team-high six tackles. “Kurt played terrific ; I think he had a couple of sacks and his run defense was good,” said Surace. “I think we gave up about 50 yards r ush ing again that was a real positive. I thought all three lines, our pass rush, our second level, and our pass coverage was pretty strong throughout the game.” This Friday evening, the Tigers face a strong test as they head to Cambridge, Mass. to take on Harvard (4-1 overall, 1-1 Ivy) in a game to be televised nationally on the NBC Sports Network. “Harvard has had some terrific blowout victories and a couple of nail-biter losses, very similar to our year,” said Surace. “We have had some really great victories and then one game for us where we lost a back and forth game (a 28-24 defeat to Columbia on September 30). It has always been a terrific challenge to play them. They are extremely talented, they don’t beat themselves. Their special teams unit is one of the best; in five games, they have three returns for touchdowns.” Princeton will need a special effort on offense and defense to overcome the Crimson. “You have to be able to drive the ball and finish drives,” said Surace. “You can’t give up explosive plays to them; you have to get off the field on third down to be able to beat them.” —Bill Alden

After Falling 2-0 to Columbia in Ivy Showdown, PU Women’s Soccer Aims to Display Resilience A few sat on the ground with their heads in their hands while some consoled each other with embraces and others just stared ahead blankly. Following its 2-0 loss to visiting Columbia last Saturday night in an Ivy League first-place showdown, the members of the Princeton University women’s soccer team appeared shellshocked as they came to grips with the reality of the defeat. Entering the evening at 11-1, riding a five- game winning streak, and having risen to No. 11 in the national rankings, the proud Tigers were stunned by a 97-second sequence in the first half when Columbia scored goals on rebounds at 9:13 and 10:50 to grab a 2-0 lead it never relinquished. Having rallied to a 2-1 victory at Brown with two late goals a week earlier, the shoe was on the other foot for Princeton against the Lions. “When you give up two goals early in the game, you allow a team to do whatever they need to do to win; they put all of the onus on us,” said Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll, whose team dropped to 11-2 overall and 3-1 Ivy while Columbia improved to 8-4-1 overall and 4-0 Ivy. “It wasn’t from a lack of effort on our end. Soccer is a funny game. They came on the road and won a huge game, credit to them. It was a game for first place and

they found a way.” Princeton battled furiously to get on the scoreboard, outshooting Columbia 2112, generating some pointblank chances in the second half but it was to no avail. “We played well; we had 10 corner kicks and they had zero so that gives you an idea where the ball was the majority of the game,” said Driscoll. “But the reality is this — you create your chances and you need to make your chances. Their goalie [Sophie Whitehouse] was tremendous; she made some really good saves. She made three or four off the top of my head that were exceptional. They defended valiantly, they didn’t give us any clear shots. They made it very difficult to break down.” While the defeat stung, the Tigers still have a shot at the Ivy title with three league games remaining and are very much in the running for an at-large spot in the NCAA tournament if they don’t win the league. “We lost a game but we

are 11-2 and we have had a fantastic season,” said Driscoll, whose team plays at Harvard (7-7 overall, 1-3 Ivy) on October 21. “The season doesn’t end. It is one loss and we need to respond; that is what Monday is about. It is time to find out what the character of this team is and that demands a response on Monday.” Driscoll, for his part, believes in the character of his battle-tested squad. “We are a senior-laden team that works supremely hard and leads by example,” said Driscoll. “You can’t do what you did all year this year and all of a sudden just fall off. I think they will respond. They are a wonderful group. They work very, very hard.” —Bill Alden

Coming into the fall, Nicole Samios was primed to have a big season in the first doubles spot for the Princeton High girls’ tennis team. But due to injury, the PHS lineup was reshuffled early in the campaign and sophomore Samios moved up to the third singles spot. For Samios, switching to singles required some adjustment. “It was difficult because I really got along with my partner, Caroline Tan,” said Samios.

“It is a lot more lonely playing singles. I think it is better for my technique and it really forces me to concentrate on getting my serve in.” Displaying her powers of concentration against South Brunswick in a Central Jersey Group 4 sectional quarterfinal match last week, Samios pulled out a 6-1, 7-6 win over Saniya Bagewadi at third singles to provide a highlight as third-seeded

PHS fell 3-2 to the sixthseeded Vikings. “She started playing better, and I got nervous because it is an important match in the states,” said Samios, reflecting on her win. “I like tiebreaks. For some reason it seems a lot less daunting to get seven points than it does to win a game even though it is four points for a game.” The encouragement of her teammates has made playing singles less daunting for Samios. “It is a great way to get closer w ith people from other grades and everyone is ver y suppor tive,” said Samios. “They wait until ever y match is over and cheer you on. It is really fun. Tennis is a lonely sport so it is nice to have a team that is always going to be there.” While PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert had hoped for a better result against South Brunswick, she credited her players with giving a nice effort in defeat. “It was competitive match all around and unfortunately we weren’t able to pull it out today, which is disappointing,” said Hibbert. “The girls fought hard and I certainly don’t fault any of them. They tried and they gave it their all. There were a couple of let cords that didn’t go our way, a couple of rule things that didn’t go our way right at the end. In a match like this, it comes down to a point here or there and unfortunately the breaks didn’t go our way today.” H i b b e r t l i ke t h e w ay Samios fought to get her win. “Nicole played great in the first set,” said Hibbert. “She got a little tight in the second set but she was able to regroup and close it out when it mattered instead of having to play a third set. She has done well for us this season.” The second doubles duo of sophomore Sora Sato and junior Adriana Todorova did well in pulling out a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 win in their match. “They were able to come through, that was great for them,” added Hibbert. “They really worked hard in the third. It was hot today and people weren’t feeling great but they were able to fight through and close it out when it counted. That was a good win for them.” With two weeks left in the regular season, Hibbert is looking for her team to close things out on a high note. “We still have some big matches left this year and obviously this didn’t end the way we would have liked but we still have a lot of competitive regular season matches that we have to be ready to play,” said Hibbert, whose team rebounded from the loss to South Brunswick to defeat Steinert 4-1 last Monday to improve to 12-2. “We want to be as competitive as we can and not let this color the rest of the season in a negative light.” Samios, for her part, is proud of how the Little Tigers have competed this fall. “Consider ing t hat our lineup has changed so much over the course of the season, we practiced through it and I think we are doing well,” said Samios. —Bill Alden

PHS Field Hockey Edges Stuart in MCT Opener As Wilkinson’s Late Goal Breaks Stalemate Despite controlling possession throughout its Mercer County Tournament opening round contest against visiting Stuart Country Day School last Saturday, the Princeton High field hockey team had nothing to show for its hard work 58 minutes into the game. With the local foes knotted in a scoreless tie and the prospect of overtime looming, PHS sophomore midfielder Eleanor Wilkinson acknowledged that the Little Tigers were getting concerned. “I think towards the end we got a little flustered,” said Wilkinson. “In the circle, they tended to crowd around each other and not be marking players. It was hard because there were so many people in the circle to get around.” But with 1:50 remaining in regulation, Wilkinson got around the Stuart defense and slipped a shot into the cage as PHS prevailed 1-0. The win improved the Little Tigers to 8-5-2 as they earned a quarterfinal matchup at No. 3 Robbinsville on October 17 with the winner heading to semis on October 19 at Mercer County Community College. “I just saw that the ball was coming out,” said Wilkinson, recalling her tally. “The goalie was slightly off her post so I figured I would sweep it in and try anything.” In reflecting on her progress in her first varsity campaign, Wilkinson is looking

to be more assertive around goal. “I have developed more aggression,” said Wilkinson. “Our playing style is that we try to be more aggressive as a team and it has really helped me get going in the midfield.” Following the example of her older teammates has helped Wilkinson gain a comfort level. “The juniors and seniors are really nice role models,” said Wilkinson. “They really help encourage everybody on the team, especially me, being a sophomore.” PHS head coach Heather Serverson wasn’t encouraged by how the game was going as her squad failed to cash in on chance after chance. “We had these excellent offensive transitions and then we just couldn’t finish,” said Serverson. “Their goalie [Sam Johnson] did a great job. They were packing the goal so it was hard to pull them out.” Serverson was not surpr ised to see Wilkinson break the ice. “Ellie has been consistent for us and steadily improving,” said Serverson. “She is only a sophomore so hopefully that is a sign of wonderful things to come. She is really doing a good job now on varsity.” With PHS surviving the nail-biter, Serverson is hoping her players will take a good lesson from the win. “I think that they learned that they have to bring their

A-game ever y day,” said Serverson. “You have to treat every game like it is the finals; anything is possible in tournament time. We weren’t playing that well in the beginning of the season and now we are playing much better. You have to anticipate that everyone is going to improve their game at this point.” Wilkinson, for her part, believes the Little Tigers will keep improving down the stretch. “We are a slightly younger team so I think as we have gone through the season, we have gotten to know each other,” said Wilkinson, “We have started playing better together because we know what the tendencies of the players on our team are.” —Bill Alden

PHS Football Falls 48-13 to WW/P-South But Little Tigers Not Hanging Their Heads Stephen Hennessy was a member of the supporting cast for the Princeton High football team last fall. Moving up to the varsity in 2016 as a sophomore, Hennessy saw action as a back-up defensive back before making a couple starts late in the campaign. This fall, Hennessy has assumed a leading role, emerging as a star receiver and a key member of the secondary. “It has been a big leap for me this year, starting on both sides of the ball and special teams,” said COACHABLE MOMENT: Princeton High football head coach Charlie Gallagher exhorts his players durHennessy. ing a game earlier this season.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) year, I didn’t play much offense, but this year I have excelled. I scored my first touchdown two weeks ago. I like playing defensive back too. It is fun to go down there and make some plays, make some tackles, and getting to defend on the pass. It is really just about getting better.” Last Friday evening, Hennessy excelled in a losing cause, making a game-high six catches for 36 yards as PHS fell 48-13 to the W W/ P- South Pirates in dropping to 0-6. “The offensive effort was good tonight; I think we really worked hard,” said Hennessy. “We mat r icu lated t he ball down the field. Obviously we couldn’t finish a lot of times. We have got

to work more on controlling the ball and keeping possession. I think we can work towards it, they are fixable mistakes.” Even though the Little Tigers haven’t tasted victory year this fall, the players haven’t stopped working hard. “We are showing good effort, people are playing hard and playing to the whistle,” said Hennessy. “People are doing a good j ob, not ha ng i ng t h e ir heads. We just can’t wait to get back out there.” PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher credits Hennessy for doing a very good job this fall. “Stephen is a ballplayer for us; he wants to compete,” said Gallagher. “He does a great job in practice. He works real hard in the weight room; he had a great offseason. He does all the things that you need a football player to do.” Gallagher acknowledged that PHS didn’t do the things it needed to do to get a win against the Pirates last Friday. “We are making a lot of mental errors, going six games into the season,” said Gallagher. “We have a lot of little issues.” The Little Tigers went with a quarterback rotation in the WW/P-South game as freshman Jake Renda hit 8-of-12 passes for 71 yards for a touchdown in the first half while junior Ryan while Benattar completed 4-of-11 passes for 67 yards and a touchdown as he guided the offense in the second half. “We have a freshman quarterback, who is a great kid,” said Gallagher. “He is going to be our future, we are throwing him out there to the wolves. Ryan is a junior and we are hoping for a little veteran leadership.

They have been competing in practice and it has been a close one.” Ju n ior re ceiver Is aac Webb showed some competitive fire against the Pirates, making four catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns. “Isaac is giving everything that he has got,” said Gallagher. “He is a competitor, he is a good player, and he is a motivator. I want to see him step up; he has these flashes of brilliance. We are going to need to get the ball to him more; he doesn’t get the ball enough. We want the ball in his hands.” In Gallagher’s view, his players have continued to compete despite the steady diet of losing. “I will tell you this, things have been good though; we have had great weeks of practice,” said Gallagher. “There is a light at the end of t he t u n nel. We haven’t got to the end of the tunnel yet but we are going to get there. It might next week, it might be the week after. We are going to get there. We have a good group of kids.” PHS is looking for a good effort this Friday evening when it hosts Nor thern Burlington. “We’ll be OK. We have got a big homecoming game against Northern Burlington,” said Gallagher. “ We comp e te d wel l against those guys last year, so it is another night game at the high school. We are excited for that.” Hennessy, for his part, shares that excitement. “We can’t wait for that game; the whole school comes out,” said Hennessy. “It is going to be a big one. We are really going to giving as much effort as possible and lay it all on the line for that game.” —Bill Alden

Donovan Davis and his teammates on the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer squad knew there was a lot on the line when they hosted the Hun School last Thursday in the annual clash between the crosstown rivals. “T he seedings for t he county tournament come out tomorrow so this is our last game,” said senior midfielder Davis. “This was a big one today that we all wanted.” Things didn’t begin the way PDS wanted in the early going as Hun’s Elijah Smarr got behind the Panther defense and scored to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead with 31:24 remaining in the first half. “We started slow; it was a questionable call,” said Davis. “The intensity wasn’t there.” Davis, who was recently moved to midfield, helped PDS pick up the intensity, scoring a goal to knot the game at 1-1 with 5:55 left until halftime. “I was moved to attacking mid so I was just trying to find little gaps here and there,” said Davis. “I played the cross and it just found my head.” Just 31 seconds later, the Panthers struck again as Jake Harris sliced the ball over Hun goalie Chris Pontrella to give PDS the lead. The Panthers made that goal stand up, prevailing by the 2-1 margin. “I thought we deserved to win,” said Davis. “It wasn’t the prettiest of games and we didn’t play our best by any means, but we outplayed them. Our energy was there in the second half.”

For Davis, providing energy in the midfield has come naturally. “I like it. I always play center back for my academy team, and here I usually play defensive mid, just knocking the ball around,” said Davis, who had a goal and an assist as second-seeded PDS rolled to a 9-0 win over seventhseeded Morristown-Beard in the state Prep B quarterfinals last Monday to improve to 9-5. “Right before the Lawrenceville game, they moved me to attacking mid and we have won three out of the next four.” PDS head coach Ollie Hilliker believes that Davis has sparked the Panthers by moving up the field. “Donovan is good. He started the season as a center back and we adjusted that and moved him up the field,” said Hilliker. “H e of fe r s s om e t h i n g good going forward. He has got good ability and sees the game well.” As PDS prepared to face Hun, Hilliker was expecting a good battle. “We know what it is going to be going into the game; we know it is going to be physical and it is going to be a bit scrappy,” said Hilliker. “It is quite a rivalry between the two teams; it is good. I like that.” In assessing his team’s performance against Hun, Hilliker liked the way his raised its game in the second half. “I thought in the second half, we played some better quality with better passing

and better movement,” said Hilliker. S en ior m idf ielder and Bucknell-bound C.J. Uche provided some quality play for the Panthers. “C.J. is C.J., he gives us a lot of ability,” said Hilliker. “His ability is second to none and I think he stepped up a lot in the second half.” Hilliker is looking for his squad to step up in postseason play and it did just that last Monday when the Panthers, who are seeded third in the state Prep B tourney, rolled to a 9-0 win over seventh-seeded Morristown-Beard in the state Prep B quarterfinals. “We are in a good place. We have had some real tough games recently; we beat Pingry (2-1 on October 5) which was a big win for us and against Pennington, we lost 4-3 (on October 2),” said Hilliker, whose team will also start play in the Mercer County Tournament this week where they are seeded ninth and are slated to play at eighth-seeded WW/P-North in an opening round contest on October 19. “We are playing well, we are peaking at the right time of the season. In the view of Davis, PDS has the right stuff to make a big tournament run. “Pennington is one of the best in the country and we were toe to toe with them,” said Davis, noting that the Red Raiders scored a goal in the waning seconds of that contest to pull out the win. “If everyone’s head is right and our energy is there, we can play with anyone.” —Bill Alden

GETTING IT DONE: Princeton Day School boys’ soccer player Donovan Davis, right, goes after the ball against Hun last Thursday. Senior midfielder Davis scored a goal to help PDS rally for a 2-1 win over the Raiders. Last Monday, Davis tallied a goal and an assist as second-seeded PDS rolled to a 9-0 win over seventh-seeded Morristown-Beard in the state Prep B quarterfinals. PDS, now 9-5, will host a Prep B semifinal contest on October 26. In addition, the Panthers will start play in the Mercer County Tournament, where they are seeded ninth and slated to play at eighth-seeded WW/P-North in an opening round game on October 19.

day in a regular season contest and then dropping a 1-0 nail-biter to Princeton High in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament on Saturday, Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik believes her team is poised for another big finish. “We came off a really terrific game against Blair, they are a very good team,” said Bruvik.

SAVING GRACE: Stuart Country Day School field hockey goalie Sam Johnson kicks the ball away in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, senior star Johnson made 20 saves in a losing cause as 11th-seeded Stuart fell 1-0 at sixth-seeded Princeton High in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament. The Tartans, who improved to 7-6-1 with a 1-0 win over South Hunterdon last Monday, start play in the state Prep B tourney this week where they are seeded third and slated to host No. 6 Newark Academy in a quarterfinal contest on October 18.

that wandered into the yard and never left. Nothing gave Jane more pleasure than to share Wendover with family and friends. Neighbors and guests were always welcome to gather by the pond for a cookout next to the firebowl. Over the years, Jane and John welcomed many of their friends’ children to spend portions of their summers at Wendover, and these visitors became cherished friends in their own rights. In the later years, having her grandchildren gather together and enjoy the farm provided huge joy, and all nine grandchildren consider time on the farm with Granna some of their most cherished memories. She is survived her husband of 58 years, John Hanna, Jr, three children: Lili Hanna Morss and her husband Steve of Concord, Mass.; Kate Hanna Morgan of Princeton; Josh Merchant Hanna and his wife Kim of Waukesha, Wisc.; and nine grandchildren: Alexandra, Abigail and Caroline Morss; Sarah, Jasper, Lucy and Annie Morgan: and Will and Genevieve Hanna; and a brother Louis Merchant and his wife Joyce of Wayzata, Minn.

Herb Rickert, 1923-2017, pas s e d away p e acef u lly on October 11, 2017, with Rose, his wife of 66 years, and other family members by his side. The family is grateful for the attention and care of the staff at both Meadow Lakes Assisted Living Facility and at the Princeton University Medical Center. Herb was born in Gary, Ind., and lived for many years in Illinois, primarily in Champaign-Urbana. He began his career as a specialist in radar, and was a technical school instructor in the US Navy during World War II. He held a BSEE from the U of Illinois (1948) and was a Senior Member of the IEEE. Herb’s first job after his service in the Navy was as a microwave engineer at Wheeler Labs in Great Neck, N.Y., where Rose, a young secretary with great legs, caught his eye. Herb, Rose, and their children moved to Princeton, and Herb was an antenna electrical engineer at RCA Astro-Electronics in East Windsor, N.J., for 23 years before his welcome retirement. Herb was a faithful and active member of All Saints’ Church in Princeton, where he served on the Vestry, was a Sunday School teacher, was the associate treasurer, was an usher, a greeter, and a lector. He enjoyed playing and watching golf, and always insisted on walking the course. A quiet man with a keen sense of humor, Herb was happiest in the midst of family noise and confusion. He is survived by his wife, Rose Belfiore Rickert and

She was born in Minneapolis, Minn. to the late Ralph Merchant and Louise (Gorham) Merchant, where she lived until attending Smith College, graduating in 1957. Although she remained on the East Coast for the rest of her life, she always attributed her spirit (which was formidable), determination (equally formidable), and down-to-earth attitudes to her Midwestern heritage. Jane had t wo careers : teaching and landscape design. She began her teaching career at the Buckingham School in Cambridge, Mas s. a nd as a m id d le school math teacher at Albany Academy for Girls after the family moved to Albany N.Y.

She met her husband, John Hanna, Jr in Cambridge, Mass. Married in 1958, they lived in Cambr idge until 1969 when they moved briefly to Albany before moving to their beloved Wendover Farm in Old Chatham, N.Y. Over 47 years together on the farm, they planted beautiful and abundant gardens, filled the bar ns w ith animals, and created a welcoming gathering spot for friends, family, and animals. Jane always loved animals, and collected an impressive array over the years, including a fair number of strays

Here’s a quick to-do list to keep your home’s exterior in top shape, no matter what winter weather comes our way:

• Repair your trim: Fill nicks and holes in damaged wood trim, then prime and paint to keep moisture and insects out.

• Caulk and point: A fresh bead of caulk around window and door trim blocks moisture and bugs

• •

CURRENT RENTALS *********************************

as well as drafts that can increase your heating costs. Clear away debris: Leaf litter and yard waste has a tendency to collect along the foundation, making a great home for rodents and termites. Plus, keeping this area clear makes it easier for water to drain away from your home. Trim oversized or damaged limbs: Snow, ice and winter winds can cause limbs to topple. A little prevention can save you a lot of money. Clear your gutters: Whether you go DIY or hire someone, this is one chore you can’t skip. Clean gutters direct rain and snowmelt away from your home so water doesn’t leak into your home’s interior.

One weekend is all it takes to complete these tasks, then you can relax -- until the spring chores roll around.
