About 750 Princeton homeowners will receive checks this week, almost $2,500 per eligible home, in accordance with a settlement reached a year ago in a lawsuit over Princeton University’s property tax exemptions. The checks will be mailed from a property tax relief fund administered by the Community Foundation of New Jersey (CFNJ) to which the University contributed $2 million this year and agreed to contribute $1.6 million a year for the following five years. Princeton homeowners who received a homestead benefit under the New Jersey Homestead Property Tax Credit Act in 2014 (the most recent year for which homestead benefits were paid by the state), and continue to own the home, will receive annual aid payments. They may use the checks for any purpose. Beginning in 2011 area homeowners had argued that Princeton University is a profit-making institution and should not be exempt from property taxes. A year ago, three days before the suit was set to go to trial, the University agreed to settle the case. Both parties asserted that they would have won the case in court. Lawyer for the plaintiffs Bruce Afran explained that the settlement, including the checks going out this week, “is the product of the tax exempt litigation. We settled the case to help take care of the most vulnerable homeowners. Many are working people, minorities, disabled, or seniors, and all of them have high taxes. The settlement was designed to protect this group of families.” Afran went on to express his satisfaction with the settlement. “I’m proud of

Voters Face Many Choices On Ballot Tuesday Princeton voters will head to the polls next Tuesday to vote for candidates for governor, State Assembly, State Senate, Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders, County Sheriff, Princeton Town Council, and the Princeton Board of Education. They will also weigh in on two public questions. Council candidates David Cohen and Leticia Fraga, though unopposed in their bid for two seats to be vacated when Bernie Miller and Jo Butler step down on January 1, have been busy. Cohen, an architect, Planning Board member and Princeton Community Democratic Organization treasurer, emphasized the importance of planning for change and shaping “the kind of town Princeton will become over the course of the 21st century.” Noting the widespread local concern with housing affordability, Fraga, board chair of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF), vice chair of the Princeton Human Services Commission, and chair of the Princeton Civil Rights Commission, asserted her ongoing

commitment to “justice, equal rights, and access to basic needs for all.” Fraga pointed out some of the economic challenges for Princeton “in rentals, sales, and in the growing difficulty longtime residents have in being able to afford to age in place. Other complex issues confronting us include ensuring that our small businesses are able to thrive here, and that working people in our community can earn a living wage.” Elaborating on the unusual qualities of Princeton and the importance of attend-

ing to the needs and interests of its residents and neighborhoods, she continued, “Princeton is unique among New Jersey towns. It is a beautiful town with a strong sense of community. We thrive economically due to both the University and thriving business, but we also have a large economic diversity that needs to be paid attention to. We need to ensure Princeton continues to be a town that values the interest of its people and neighborhoods.” Fraga concluded, “From affordability to Continued on Page 10

IAS History as Refuge and Current Implications Are Focus of Lecture

After President Trump issued executive orders last January to enforce travel bans and curb immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries, a group of scholars affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) was moved to take action. The History Working Group produced a series of articles and an exhibition focused on the Institute’s response to similar challenges in

On Friday, November 3 at 5:30 p.m., the Institute will hold a public lecture and discussion on the group’s findings and how they relate to the current political climate. “A Refuge for Scholars: Contemporary Challenges in Historical Perspective” takes place in Wolfensohn Hall on the IAS campus.

Young Audiences New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania (YA), which worked with more than 350,000 children through more than 4,000 programs in 573 schools in every county in New Jersey last year. Dance, literary arts, music, theater, visual arts, digital media — every school day of the year, there’s probably at least one YA program taking place somewhere in the state.

noted, “so much of that doesn’t happen right now in schools because of the pressure to achieve, but the teaching artist can bring this completely different lens to view children, to encourage personal creativity, and to view the role of the teacher. Sparks fly and these great connections are made.” Mylson, citing the arts as an antidote to some of the stresses of “over-achieving schools,” continued, “One of the most important qualities to develop is resilience and the ability to fail. Perfectionism and the idea that everything has to have an answer paralyzes a child, or an adult, but the creative proPerformances are still a cess lends itself to almost critical component of YA’s wanting to fail so you can work as it celebrates its 45th year, but interaction between artists and children and student participation are always key. More than 50 percent of their programs involve classroom work, residencies, professional development, or teacher workshops. “Any way we can bring arts education to children, we do,” said Marketing and Public Relations Director Denyce Mylson. “We’re a funny arts agency,” said B et ter ton. We have no venue. We have no ticket holders, no students who come to our venue to take classes. We have no alumni.” Despite the challenging conditions in many schools now, YA continues to assert its ambitious, transformative goal “to inspire young people and expand their learning through the arts.” The teaching artists “can be change agents in the schools,” Betterton said. 21st-Century Learners Continuing to discuss the power of the arts in the broader field of education, she added, “We’re not expecting the kids we work with to become professional artists. That’s not the goal of the work. We want to help schools develop children who are 21st-century learners, who can collaborate, who can see across different subjects, who can do these interesting projects. We envision a world where fields of study are interconnected and the arts play a huge role in helping kids to make those connections.” Emphasizing the importance of “problem-solving, tr ial and er ror, and experimentation,” Betterton

figure out how to make it better next time. As we look at our workforce readiness skills, we want students to have that creative process in mind, to be collaborative, to ask questions, to not be afraid to fail. It’s all about trial and error.” In the age of the Internet where everybody can Google the facts, Betterton added, content is not the big issue in education anymore. “What does become important,” she said, “is the ability to think about different things, the ability to make connections across different subject matter, to connect the dots, or to collaborate with people in a team setting to get the work done.” Those skills, she pointed out, are not learned doing individual assignments at individual desks, but “by collaborating and being part of something.” Emphasizing that “children are at the center of our work,” YA’s catalogue states that students will: “experience extraordinary art and artists; understand the value of art and creativity in the world; create art that engages the imagination and expresses ideas; and connect the creative process to learning and life.” Better ton explained, “What we are trying to do is to get kids to connect with their personal creativity. We believe there is a creative spark worth nurturing in every single human being, that they are going to be able to live happier, better lives if they have art-rich lives.” Teaching Artists The staff of 14 at YA headquarters on Forrestal Road

Feast of Arts Continued from Preceding Page

in Princeton works with a group of about 200 teaching artists (TAs) recruited from New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and beyond. “To do this work, you have to be passionate about school children and education,” Betterton said. “No matter what your performance is, you have to make connections with the students. We’re lucky to have amazing performers that absolutely have that philosophy.” Graphic artist Kevin Pyle has been teaching graphic novel and comics workshops to elementary and middle school students since 2007. “From the moment I started teaching comics, I was struck by how well-suited they are as an educational tool,” he said, as quoted in the YA catalogue. “The combination of words and pictures allows for multiple entry points for students with different talents. Comics and graphic novels already have the concepts they need to master for language arts. And most importantly, kids love comics.” Bet ter ton noted how teachers, through working with teaching artists in the classroom or in professional development workshops, “are seeing their own styles change and sharing new ideas with other teachers in the community and completely changing for the better how students are learning.” She went on to describe how working with a Young Audiences TA can enrich teachers’ classroom management skills. “What used to be a dictatorial way of relating to students can become a collaborative process,” she said. “What that does to a classroom is really fun to see.” She cited examples of teachers who have learned to run their classrooms “in very different ways that the kids respond to—switching a lens in how they approach their students, how they communicate with them.” Among its numerous programs throughout the state and into eastern Pennsylvania, one that YA is particularly proud of is the Trenton Adopted School Program, which has raised more than $1 million over the past 10 years. The program serves every public elementary and middle school in Trenton every year. T hough B et ter ton and Mylson both describe “an unfriendly atmosphere towards t he ar ts in many schools right now,” with more and more time spent on testing and less time available in the school day and the school year for the arts, they remain optimistic as Young Audiences continues to thrive. “We have found wonderful teachers and amazing principals who are so interested in arts education, who are awakened to the potential of what they can actually accomplish in the classroom using the arts,” said Betterton. And who would argue with more than 12 million students who have been entertained, inspired, and affected in so many positive ways by YA over the past 45 years? —Donald Gilpin

Question of the Week

“I love that the Arts Council of Princeton makes art and culture available to everybody in Princeton and our surrounding communities.” —Jess Deutsch, Princeton

Cameron: “The classes and the kids.” Jessica: “Anne Reeves — she was the first person to welcome me to Princeton. I am forever grateful for her friendship and she is a treasure of this very special community.” —Cameron Manning and Jessica Durrie, Princeton

“Bringing the World to You Through Technology” Is Topic of This Year’s PSRC Fall Conference

exting, t weeting, posting, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat, Skype, GPS, Siri, Uber, Lyft, and so much more! Sound familiar? Of course! This is the language of today. It’s quick, convenient, and ubiquitous. It offers opportunities unimagined even a decade ago. And the speed at which all this can change is not only amazing, but disconcerting for some. For individuals of a certain age, who were not exposed to this technology during their childhoods, navigating its mysteries can be challenging. To help, the Princeton S enior Resource Center (PSRC) is offering “Bringing The World To You Through Technology” as the topic of this year’s fall conference. Scheduled for Friday, November 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., it will provide 11 workshops focusing on various aspects of the digital world and the impact it has on everyone’s life today. Since 2005, PSRC has of-

fered an annual Fall Conference to inform the community about an important issue related to aging, explains PSRC Executive Director Susan W. Hoskins, LCSW. Many Tools “This year, we return to the topic of technolog y, which is evolving so rapidly few of us can keep up. But digital technology also has the potential to transform aging, including how we connect with health resources and our families, live independently longer, keep our minds engaged, and use devices to help with every aspect of daily life. “Our goal is to help you learn about these technologies and overcome your hesitation so that you can implement these tools in your life. We are not the ‘digital natives’ that our children and grandchildren are, so our presenters will help you explore some of the many tools that are available, many at little or no cost, once you have the basics of a computer device and Internet connection. “It’s a big part of life to-

day, but a lot of people don’t know how to get their feet wet, and we want to help them get started. As a resource center, it is our responsibility to learn about what is out there and make it available to our community. A lot of our focus in on people living on their own. There are so many things in technology that can make their lives easier in big or small ways.” As the conference gets underway, Hoskins will lead a live interview panel, including interviews with several of the workshop presenters, all of whom are experts in their particular field. Lunch will be offered at a break during the workshops, and a resource fair is also scheduled, with representatives from a variety of organizations ready to share information. Lunch is sponsored by Brandywine Senior Living and Princeton Care Center. The workshops will focus on useful information to help participants become more comfortable with the available technology and learn about the latest applications

and systems most important for their needs. Around Town Transportation is the target of the first workshop. Today, Uber and Lyft can help expedite travel for people, whether just to get around town or for longer distances. These services can mean a great deal for someone who is older and not comfortable driving at night. Also, adds Hoskins, “there is Go Go Grandparent, a service that will set up a ride for people who don’t have a smartphone to schedule the ride themselves. For example, just say you need to be at McCarter Theatre at 8 p.m., leave for home at 10:30, and they will arrange the ride.” Transportation options at the workshop will also explore how to use technology to find and catch the right bus or train. A second workshop will investigate “Streaming Services: How to Get Entertainment in Your House, Including Movies, Audio, Netflix, Hulu, Roku, and Apple TV.” It will offer an introduction to streaming, with examples of video and audio streaming devices and services, and how get them to your home.

Rated High Performing in Hip and Knee Replacement 3 years in a row. How do you become a leader in orthopaedic care? At University Medical Center of Princeton, it starts with a team of expert orthopaedic surgeons, physical therapists and nurse navigators who use innovative, effective techniques so you can move — without pain, without restrictions and without hesitating.

The third workshop is “Digital Library Services” including e-books, audio books, movies, language learning, research resources, library apps, and more. This workshop will explore emerging trends in library services in the 21st century. “Making the Most of Your Cell Phone” is the focus of the fourth workshop. This w ill prov ide information on the many options one’s smartphone offers today. It’s a lot more than just a phone! As Hoskins points out, “It can help keep you safe, give you travel (even walking) directions, get you help when you need it, take pictures, and provide fun and information.” “Video Chat” If you’d like to interact with family and friends who are located far away, it can be possible with a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. “Video Chat and Live Video Phone Calls: Stay Connected with Family and Friends” will introduce and demonstrate Skype and FaceTime, two simple to use and free software programs which enable participants to make video calls. Order groceries, meals, healthcare supplies, and other essentials online and have them delivered to your door. Online ordering and home delivery can save you time and make it easy to find the items that are not readily available in local stores. The “Delivery Services” workshop will offer an introduction to how and where to shop online. “Medical Portals, Medical Information, Health Monitoring” is another important workshop. This can provide information on how to use devices at home to monitor health, manage medications, communicate with healthcare providers, and both store and access healthcare information. In addition, it will help you learn how to identify good information from bad. As Hoskins points out, “The new technology for medical services, including portals, can help patients see all their medical information in one place. This is also helpful to medical professionals. For example, those in ER will be able to see the patient’s medical history all in one place.” “Home Safety, Technology, and Aging in Place” will give an overview of practical solutions to everyday challenges individuals encounter as they seek to remain safe and independent in their own environment. High tech and low tech options will be dis-

cussed and explored. Pros and cons of the many technological products for personal use or for use in the home will be reviewed. Participants at the conference who are caring for a family member struggling with problems associated with dementia will find the workshop on “Tools For Dementia Care-tracking and Safety” helpful and informative. Areas covered include Music and Memory, Photos, Alzheimer’s Navigator, ALZConnected, Community Resource Finder, Trial Match, Care Zone, Journaling, GPS, Medic Alert, and the Safe Return program. “Security” and “Search” “Internet Security” and “Search: How To Make the Most of the Internet” are workshops that will provide information on the most effective ways to keep information secure and also how to search for articles, images, and news, and how to interpret search results. Susan Hoskins is looking forward to an exciting event, noting that in past years 110 to 150 people have attended the conference. “There are so many technologies out there now that we want to be up to date with it. It comes so quickly and changes so quickly. It is really life-transforming, and it offers resources that can enhance life at any age.” She points out that PSRC also offers computer classes and labs throughout the year. “We have three computer labs each week where people can bring any device and get help. We have a series of courses available, including basic computer skills, digital philosophy, and how to use an iPad. “Technology can help reduce risk and enhance the quality of life. It is a way to be engaged. Isn’t it great to have an online conversation, to be able to send an email late at night and then get a response in the morning? it is such a big part of life today!” To pre-register for the Fall Conference, email PSRC at princetonsenior.org or call (609) 924-7108.

transit to public safety, we can work together to ensure equitable solutions to these challenges. My goal is to seek community-based solutions that build a stronger Princeton for shared prosperity.” Cohen pursued his central campaign theme of change. “I keep hammering on the fundamental truth that change is inevitable, and if we stick our heads in the sand and try to pretend we can have the same kind of Princeton indefinitely into the future, we will wind up with change we don’t want,” he said. “It is happening already in the form of modest homes being torn down at an alarming rate and replaced by homes three and four times the cost! Better to plan for change and have a chance to steer it in the right direction.” Cohen went on to discuss the concerns of residents he has talked with during the

The

campaign and the kinds of change they want. “Most of the Princetonians I talk to value socio-economic, cultural, and generational diversity. Most value sustainability and protecting the planet for our children and grandchildren. Most value the aesthetic appeal of our community. And most value the fundamental premise that sharing with others the benefits we enjoy ourselves is the right thing to do. Luckily, i believe all these values can be preserved and even enhanced while allowing our town to grow. In fact they are dependent on allowing it to grow in an intelligent way.” Other contests on November 7 are more hotly contested, with Democrat Phil Murphy and Republican Kim Guadagno vying for governor, one of only two gubernatorial races in the country this November.

Langston Hughes Is Topic Of University Conference

A November 10-11 conference at Princeton University will honor the African American poet Langston Hughes 50 years after his death. “Remembering Langston Hughes: His Art, Life, and Legacy Fifty Years Later” will highlight the contributions of Hughes, best known as a vanguard of the literary and creative movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. “Since his death in May 1967, his art, particularly his poetry, has been invoked to articulate both some of the nation’s loftiest hopes and its deepest fears,” said conference organizer Wallace Best. Over two days, scholars, writers, and poets from across the country will look back at the life, work and continuing impact of Hughes. On the first afternoon, Arnold Rampersad, author of The Life of Langston Hughes, will speak with Wallace Best, author of the new book Langston’s Salvation: American Religion and the Bard of Harlem, in a session moderated by Imani Perry, at 4 p.m. in McCosh Hall, Room 50. Rampersad is professor of English and the Sara Hart Kimball Professor in the humanities at Stanford University; Best is professor of religion and African American studies

Gold Star Father Joins Murphy In Appearance at Arts Council

Celebrating Excellence In Education The Princeton Public School District officially launched the PHS Alumni Association during Homecoming weekend on October 20 and 21. PHS alumni swapped memories and reminisced about their days at Princeton High School during a reception prior to the Homecoming football game. Everyone enjoyed hearing the stories of alumni from the 1950s through the 2000s and meeting some of the families who have been part of the long legacy of our district for multiple generations. One alumnus brought out his yearbook from the early 1950s, and alumni from several decades enjoyed perusing its treasure trove of memories. The weekend also included tours of Princeton High School. Current PHS students led the tours, telling alumni about the additions to the school over the years, the current class offerings, and relating some of the school’s recent points of pride, including the Boys Cross Country team winning the State Championship meet last year and the PHS Studio Band winning first place at the prestigious Berklee Jazz Festival for the 8th year in a row. Many alumni commented on how different the school was from when they were students at PHS, and both current and former students enjoyed being able to share their PHS experiences with each other. As part of the tour, the Princeton Historical Society presented an exhibit of historical artifacts from the high school, including photos and documents throughout the school’s history. From photos of theatre productions in the 1920s to documents promoting the merger of the Princeton Borough schools and the Princeton Township schools, alumni learned about the continuing legacy of the Princeton Public School district. The weekend culminated with an outdoor concert in front of the tower featuring three talented PHS a cappella choirs: Cloud Nine, Around Eight, and The Tones. The Princeton Public School District hopes to continue growing the PHS Alumni Association as we reconnect with alumni from all decades and all walks of life. Our goal is to create an alumni association that meaningfully engages alumni, and which also provides support for current PHS students through mentoring, career/college connections, internships, and guest speakers. As part of our efforts to reconnect with alumni, the district is also working to create an updated PHS Alumni Directory. Alumni may be receiving a postcard, email, or phone call from Publishing Concepts (PCI) asking alumni to update their information. The directory will allow alumni to get back in touch with each other, and will also help the district update our records so that we can keep alumni updated on special events we will be hosting for alumni and news about the district today. As we have begun reconnecting with our vast alumni community, we have greatly enjoyed hearing stories from our alumni about their time in the Princeton Public School District and what they’ve been up to since graduation. We look forward to connecting with many more alumni moving forward, and we invite alumni who want to learn more about the PHS Alumni Association to visit http://bit.ly/ PHSalumni, like the Princeton High School Alumni Association on Facebook, or email alumni@princetonk12.org.

When Khizr Khan spoke at an October 26 appearance by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy at the Arts Council of Princeton, it marked the 162nd time the Gold Star father has taken to the podium to promote social and economic justice. T he Muslim native of Pakistan, whose son Humayun Khan was killed in the Iraq War, gained attention after he and his wife spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last year. With Republican candidate Kim Guadagno’s recent promise to ban sanctuary cities in New Jersey if she is elected November 7, Khan’s message of inclusion was especially well received by the standing-room-only crowd gathered in the Solley Theater. “You will be casting a vote to st reng t hen t he democratic process, your democratic way of life, to show to the rest of the nation that this is the right way to support democracy and live in a democracy,” he said. “This is the added burden on all of us, especially New Jersey, because you have been chosen to lead this charge in this election.” New Jersey and Virginia are the only two states holding gubernatorial elections this year. Murphy said that Khan “exemplif ies t he ideals and values that we’ve built

our campaign on — fairness and inclusion, hard work, and, ultimately, of sacrifice.” New Jersey has the second highest Muslim population in the country; three t imes as many Muslim adults per capita as the national average, Murphy continued. “When you run for governor in New Jersey, you do so with your eyes wide open,” he said. “You do that with an understanding that New Jersey stands proudly as the most diverse state in the nation. We wear our diversity as a badge of honor. If you’re not prepared to stand up on behalf of all nine million residents and not just for some, don’t bother running.” Murphy is a former financial executive and served as the U.S. ambassador to Germany from 2009 to 2013. Guadagno has served as lieutenant governor under Chris Christie since he was elected in 2010. Khan immigrated to the United States in 1980 and is a graduate of Harvard Law School, as is Murphy. “Let’s vote to stop this madness, the div isiveness in this country,” Khan said. “I am amazed at the spirit of this nation,” he continued, adding that he has been fascinated by the Declaration of Independence since he was a student in Pakistan. Referring to an incident

in which President Trump was criticized over the nature of a condolence phone call he made to the widow of a serviceman killed in Niger on October 4, Murphy told the audience that Khan’s appearance with him was not a response to that situation. It was p l a n n e d “m a n y, m a n y weeks ago and was not in reaction to anything that has happened over the past couple of weeks,” he said. A member of the audience asked Khan if he really felt he could change the minds of those in favor of Trump’s policies on immigration. Khan responded that he recently spoke at an event in Des Moines, in which half of the hall was filled “with those who voted not for your (Democratic) candidate and had buyer’s remorse,” he said. “I humbly respected their courage to stand up,” he continued, and urged them to speak to their legislators. —Anne Levin

The checks will be very meaningful to these families.” The distributions will probably be a couple of hundred dollars less in the following five years of the program, and any excess funds after all eligible distributions have been made will be donated to 101: Inc., a nonprofit organization providing need-based scholarships for graduates of Princeton High School attending postsecondary institutions other than Princeton University. As part of last year’s settlement, Princeton University agreed to make three contributions of $416,700 to the Witherspoon-Jackson Development Corporation, to be used to aid housing and related needs of economicallydisadvantaged residents. The University also agreed to make a $3,480,000 annual voluntary contribution to the town in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

ELECT BETH BEHREND TO THE PRINCETON BOARD OF EDUCATION Fiscally Responsible, Forward-looking, Proven Leadership

on Tuesday, November 7.

Beth is passionate about building on the excellence of Princeton public schools and committed to doing so in a fiscally responsible manner that helps preserve the quality of life and economic diversity of our town. She has the vision to see challenges as opportunities for our community to collaborate in planning a more balanced, inclusive, innovative, cost-effective and sustainable learning environment for our children.

Loterywil beheldonMarch21,2017

As a corporate lawyer with almost two decades of experience in finance, corporate restructuring and governance, Beth will bring critical thinking, objective decision-making and financial expertise to the School Board. These skills are essential to a Board overseeing a $95 million annual budget, while potentially undertaking a multi-million-dollar facilities expansion that will define our schools and impact taxpayers for decades to come. Beth, a 16-year resident and mother of three, has demonstrated her dedication to the Princeton community through years of public and board service - leading the Riverside PTO, serving on the district-wide PTO Council for the past three years, raising over $50,000 for school gardens and helping integrate garden education into the curriculum, and serving as a trustee of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed, the Princeton School Garden Cooperative, the League of Conservation Voters, and the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton. Our School Board needs strong and steady leaders like Beth – a dedicated advocate for our children with the vision and experience to help plan for the future of education in Princeton. Please elect Beth on Tuesday, November 7.

JESS DEUTSCH

for Princeton Public Schools Board of Education on Tuesday November 7. Jess Deutsch is a professional education advisor and community leader whose skills are well known in Princeton. After attending New Jersey public schools, she received her undergraduate degree from Princeton, and holds Masters degrees in Education from Harvard and Social Work from Rutgers. Over the past 20 years, Jess has advised hundreds of high school and college students and their parents, and also consulted for international and domestic nonprofits. She and her husband, Ted, have raised two children who attended Princeton Public Schools. In addition to serving on the boards of The 101 Fund, HiTops, and the Friends of the Princeton Public Library, Jess has been a leading voice in our local conversation about student wellness through the social media group she founded, Princeton Balance. We believe Jess has the expertise, judgement, and experience to be a highly capable advocate for the district’s mission to prepare all students for lives of joy and purpose, and a most careful steward of our taxpayer dollars.

Here’s why your informed neighbors support Julie:

Tuesday, November 7th

LEADERSHIP: “Like all good leaders, Julie holds herself accountable. She does the research, takes responsibility, and owns the results. I trust Julie to represent all Princeton students and taxpayers rather than narrow interests and agendas. She will ensure the schools achieve academic success for all students, while prioritizing the children’s wellbeing.” –Kirk Williamson IMPACT: “With Julie’s professional experience in large-scale project management, it will be second nature for Julie to find ways that the district can achieve greater quality with constrained resources, and achieve measurable, meaningful results”- Amy Craft, Anne Desmond, Mara Franceschi, Christina Walden RESULTS: “Julie understands how to bridge the gap between a good idea in a committee and great results in every classroom, for every child.” -Sue and Matt Bowen

As a seasoned professional and a devoted mother of 4 children in Princeton Public Schools, I am confident that I have the experience, unique perspective, and tenacity to ensure that our schools are excellent for EVERY child.

PASSION: “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.” – Brian McDonald

The best choice for our children, our schools, and our community! Paid for by Julie4PPS

Jess Deutsch Will Be Able to Speak the Language Of Schools and Uphold Mission With School Leaders

To the Editor: I am writing to express my support for Jess Deutsch for the PPS Board of Education. We are very lucky this year to have so many qualified and enthusiastic candidates running for School Board, as Jess herself has said. I urge you to cast one of your votes for Jess; she is the only one with professional credentials in education; in this day and age it’s a breath of fresh air to have someone with expertise and experience run for office. She will be able to speak the language of the schools and uphold the mission with our school leaders. Jess has deep roots in our community and, through her service on various nonprofit boards, has proven that she is an effective team player. I overlapped with Jess on the board of 101: and witnessed first-hand her creativity, willingness to work hard, and consensus building skills. Jess gets things done. Jess’s kids went through our school system, and she knows firsthand its strengths and where it could be improved. Now, with her kids launched, she is in it for all PPS students. Carol GolDEN Snowden lane

Beth Behrend Would Be a Devoted, Fair, Knowledgeable, Compassionate Board Member

To The Editor: as retired teachers of the Princeton Public Schools, we have experienced the difference a devoted, knowledgeable, fair, and compassionate school board member can make. We are supporting Beth Behrend in her candidacy for Princeton Public School Board, as she exemplifies all these qualities. We have had the pleasure of teaching Beth’s children and working with Beth as a PPS parent. For many years we witnessed Beth’s enthusiastic dedication to our schools. Some of her many contributions have been: riverside School PTo president, leadership role in funding and implementation of district-wide school gardens, organizing school residencies and assemblies, member of the district PTo Council, and room parent for numerous years. Beth is a hands-on volunteer, always seen digging in gardens, assisting teachers and students during school events, and someone who never declined cooking a turkey for riverside’s annual Kindergarten Thanksgiving Friendship lunch! During Beth’s campaign, she has worked tirelessly to gather input from parents, teachers, students, and the general community on how PPS can move forward, building and expanding its excellence. Beth understands the challenges of providing a superior education on limited funds, and with a fiscally responsible budget that does not burden Princeton taxpayers. although we are now retired, we continue to support Princeton Public Schools, and electing Beth Behrend will greatly benefit the students, schools, and community. We enthusiastically endorse Beth Behrend for Princeton Public School Board and hope you will consider voting for her. lINDa BruSChI Schindler Drive, lawrenceville Mary DEMarEST KElly Dispatch Drive, Washington Crossing

Supporting Deutsch, With Her Deep Background In Education and Counselling, for School Board

To the Editor: We write in support of Jess Deutsch for School Board. She has splendid qualifications: a deep background in education and counseling, two children who have gone through our system, the ability to listen, and a strong desire to serve all in our community. We hope you will join us in voting for her. ClaIrE aND DavID JaCoBuS Cleveland lane

Current School Board Member Writes In Support of Candidate Julie Ramirez

To the Editor: our community is fortunate to have several good candidates running for open seats on the Princeton Public School Board of Education (BoE). as a current School Board member (writing only for myself and not on behalf of the BoE), I am familiar with some of the unprecedented challenges ahead for our school system. More than ever before our community needs leaders on the School Board who not only are equipped with the right expertise and skills to meet these challenges, but who hold themselves to the highest standards of ethical transparency, have the courage to make hard decisions, and have the willingness to be accountable for the consequences. Julie ramirez is exactly such a leader and I support her for election to the PPS School Board. Many who know Julie have encouraged her for years to run for a seat on the School Board. She has unique professional expertise as a project manager and will bring this experience to our school community at exactly the right

Tuck-Ponder Understands That a School System’s Excellence Depends on Achievement of All Students

To the Editor: Michele Tuck-Ponder has given extraordinary public service to Princeton, and we wholeheartedly endorse her candidacy for the Princeton School Board. She will bring to the Board the knowledge, leadership skills, and — most significantly — values of critical importance to the ultimate vitality of our schools and our community. Michele is a public-school parent, a taxpayer, an attorney, and a former mayor. She understands that a school system cannot truly achieve excellence unless it promotes the achievement of all of its students. She also knows well that an unaffordable school system threatens the very diversity that enriches our schools. Michele will work to support a school culture that embraces high expectations for all students while also preparing them to navigate a multicultural world. She will work equally hard to hold the line on budgets and to ensure that expenditures are cost-effective and serve our educational mission. Michele’s government experience includes policy-related positions as aide to a united States senator, assistant counsel to the New Jersey governor, and mayor and member of Township Committee in the former Princeton Township. She was centrally involved in overseeing the feasibility study, design, and financing of the Princeton Municipal Complex and the negotiation and financing of infrastructure and siting for the Princeton Public library. In the non-profit sector, Michele has served as an executive of Women’s Fund and the yWCa and a member of the boards of New Jersey after 3 and the Girl Scouts. She has repeatedly met the challenge of serving the public interest while conserving scarce resources. This background will serve well the School Board’s need to explore alternative sources of funding and carefully review the economics of our current commitments. as enrollment grows, School Board members will be called upon to make strategic decisions about facilities, infrastructure, and the alignment of spending and mission. Michele will bring to these issues an ability to identify and ask the hard questions, well-known skills as a consensusbuilder, and a deep commitment to a quality education for all students in our system.

YWCA Princeton Breast Cancer Resource Center Extends Gratitude to Those Displaying Pink Bow

To the Editor: as the director of the yWCa Princeton Breast Cancer resource Center, I would like to extend my gratitude to all of the merchants and businesses in Princeton and lawrenceville who displayed a BCrC Pink Bow in solidarity with local women affected by breast cancer. as an organization we received countless emails and comments from community members praising our effort to ensure that no woman feels alone in her fight. From the bottom of my heart, as a breast cancer survivor, longtime Princeton resident, and BCrC leader, I commend this wonderful community for your support during breast cancer awareness month. Paula Flory Director, yWCa Princeton Breast Cancer resource Center

Voters Who Care About Education, Veterans And the Environment Should Reelect Zwicker

To the Editor: If you care about education, veterans, and the environment, vote for andrew Zwicker for the New Jersey assembly on November 7. Zwicker, a physicist at Princeton Plasma Physics laboratory, has ably represented District 16 for two years. using his professional expertise, Zwicker has championed the causes of education, particularly science education, the environment, and open space. he sponsored legislation to establish science and technology fellowships, and legislation to make it easier for the military and veterans to go to college. his bill to forgive student debt when a student dies or is disabled was recently enacted into law. Zwicker’s environmental accomplishments include introducing a bill urging New Jersey to meet the goals of the

Paris Climate accord. This bill passed the assembly. his bills to preserve farmland in the four counties he represents (hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset) were recently signed into law. With Washington turning its back on education and protecting the environment, it is more important than ever that the legislators we send to Trenton reflect our values. I urge you to reelect andrew Zwicker for the New Jersey assembly on November 7. Carol aNN WElSCh lawrenceville

More Than $110,000 Raised to Support YMCA’s Work Strengthening Foundations of Community

To the Editor: It was an amazing night at the Princeton Family yMCa’s 2017 Centennial awards For Healthy Living hosted in the y’s gymnasium last Thursday evening. I want to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful honorees who let us recognize their extraordinary work in making our community healthier and stronger: rachel Dultz, MD, medical director of the Breast health Center; Blandine lacroix, vP for obesity marketing, Novo Nordisk; Kim Pimley, chair, Princeton healthcare System board of trustees and community leader; Dr. Keith Wailoo, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton university; ross Wishnick, Princeton human Services Commission chair and founder of Send hunger Packing Princeton; and the Princeton Clergy association, represented by its co-chairs rabbi adam Feldman and rev. David a. Davis. and a huge thank you to our inspiring Centennial awards co-chairs Tracy Sipprelle and Cameron Manning and Silent auction co-chairs Mana Winters and ruth Wells. They, along with our Steering Committee members and our terrific young presenters, put on yet another memorable and uplifting presentation. and of course, much appreciation to our very generous sponsors and donors who supported the occasion and made it such a FuN party! I am thrilled to report that our collective efforts raised more than $110,000 to support the yMCa’s work in strengthening the foundations of our community. at the yMCa, we are committed to nurturing the potential of kids, to promoting healthy living and to fostering a sense of social responsibility — and we are truly grateful to our supporters who help us to ensure that every individual has access to the essentials needed to learn, grow and thrive.

Location of Proposed Sunrise Complex Would Have Serious Impact On Drainage

To the Editor: Some recent articles and letters about Sunrise’s revived proposal to build an assisted-living and memory-care complex on the narrow strip of land between the Princeton Shopping Center and Terhune road have emphasized the desirability of extremely fire-resistant construction. others have endorsed approval of the project without apparent realization that it is intended for assisted living and for memory care rather than for more generally defined senior housing. In previous letters to Town Topics I have expressed my own concern that the shape and size and location of the lot make any kind of residential use far less than optimal because of inevitable proximity to and disturbance by activities at the shopping center. Those reservations remain, and I also recently… and belatedly … reacted to the fact that the tentative plans show that apparently at least 80 percent of the main portion of the lot would be covered by either buildings or pavement. Counting the area of the unused panhandle portion of the lot that reaches down toward the park would artificially lower the covered-area percentage somewhat, but such a calculation is not germane to what the project would do to drainage in the area. Whoever is to be responsible for determining whether the project is approved is probably already fully aware of this limitation, but I suggest that those not directly involved who have been expressing support for approval make some allowance in their enthusiasm for the rather dramatic change it would bring about in the asphalt-to-greenery ratio on that strip of locally elevated land. To a novice in hydrological matters, it appears that virtually all the rain that is now absorbed within the boundaries of the lot would be deflected to adjacent roads and properties to possibly serious effect on road and basement flooding.

These ideas and proposals are all important for our children and all deserve to be addressed through the kind of thorough cost-conscious, results-oriented process that Julie can help to lead.

Institute director and professor Robbert Dijkgraaf is the moderator. Panelists are Joan Scott, professor emerita, School of Social Science; Thomas Dodman, a member in the School of Historical Studies; Ian Jauslin, a member in the School of Mathematics; and Ayse Parla, a visitor in the School of Social Science. “There was a real sense of frustration about the discrepancy between what I call the grotesque privilege of being [at the Institute] for a year, and everything that was happening around us,” said Dodman, who is a history professor at Columbia University. “The contrast is extraordinary.” The group held a series of Town Hall meetings with members of the IAS and surrounding community. It was important to include IAS staff members who might be most directly affected by Trump’s actions, Dodman said. Current and former IAS members and donors were among others who attended the meetings. “We wanted to put pressure on the administration to take a more pro-active stance,” Dodman added. “There was an excitement about it, a collective effervescence and energy.” Founded in 1930, the IAS benefited from the availability of leading German university scholars, and provided them with sanctuary.

placed Foreign Scholars, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Carnegie Foundation. In an article written in the Spring 2017 issue of the Institute Letter, the Working Group wrote, “it only took a few months and one edict purging civil servants of nonAryan descent or exhibiting suspect political sentiments in April 1933 to drain the German university of many of its brightest minds and its intellectual vigor. Of course, the contemporar y political situation in the United States remains far from this extreme case. Nonetheless, knowledge of this history should serve as a call for vigilance in the face of policies such as travel bans and im migrant depor tations, as well as attempts to curb scientific inquiry and cut funding to arts and humanities endowments that now threaten the autonomy of research and the pursuit of a dignified human life. Unfortunately, history suggests it takes much less time to destroy than to build. As it did in the 1930s, the Institute can play a leading symbolic role in our contemporary predicament.” The Working Group’s research yielded “all sorts of amazing things,” said Dodman, including information that the first IAS director Abraham Flexner was originally hesitant about providing a haven for the prominent German scholars forced to flee their country. “He is very adamant about not meddling in politics, at first, but changes quite radically. By the 1930s he is saying, ‘We need to help these people.’ We thought that was an interesting story to tell.” Less dramatic yet revealing findings include IAS scholar Albert Einstein’s exchanges with his plumber. A 1954 letter to Einstein from R. Stanley Murray of Stanley Plumbing and Heating Company in New York reads, “As a plumber, I am very much interested in your comment made in the letter being published in the Reporter Magazine. Since my ambition has always been to be a scholar and yours seems to be a plumber, I suggest that as a team we would be tremendously successful. We can then be possessed of both knowledge and independence. I am ready to change the name of my firm to read: Einstein and Stanley Plumbing Co.”

The letter is “a little treasure,” said Dodson. “I’m a historian, and I treasure those bits.” Being a part of the History Working Group was “a lot of fun,” Dodson stressed. “We really enjoyed it and got to know each other well. It made us feel useful in a small, modest way.” —Anne Levin

BOOK REVIEW

Looking for Lost New York With Stephen Crane and Two Jazz Legends

he New York bus stops outside the building I work in. Several times a day I see it idling in front, waiting for the light to change. In the car last week listening to a CD of live jazz from May 1953, I hear the announcer say “We’re coming to you from Birdland, Broadway at 52nd Street, the heart of Manhattan” and I know it’s time to get on that bus. I’m thinking of the lost city of automats and movie palaces when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn and I was allowed into jazz clubs in my mid-teens. The Dizzy Gillespie All Stars with Charlie Parker and Miles Davis are playing “The Sunny Side of the Street,” the whole band’s singing the chorus, telling me to “grab your coat and get your hat and leave your worries on the doorstep.” Who cares if it’s gray and wet and windy outside, the song works for me. I may be “walking in the shade with those blues on parade,” but “I’m not afraid ‘cause this rover crossed over.” There’s no sunny side on the bus this morning, but I like how the rain is flicking at the window as we make our stop-andstart way down the Lincoln Highway on Coach America. The Story of the Word I’ve been getting in the mood for the city by reading around in the works of Stephen Crane, who was born in Newark on November 1, 1871, and died in Germany on June 5, 1900. Three of his novels are set in New York: Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, which he self-published in 1893; The Third Violet (1897), which takes place in the art student milieu of Chelsea; and George’s Mother (1896), which begins, like my day, “in the swirling rain” that makes “the broad avenue” glisten “with that deep bluish tint which is widely condemned when it is put into pictures.” The reference to painting reflects Crane’s time living in the old Art Students League Building on East 23rd Street, where he finished his most famous work, the Civil War classic, The Red Badge of Courage (1895). I’m a long way from Crane’s New York as I come out of the tumult of Port Authority and head down 41st Street. As far as that goes, I’m a long way from my New York, what with the digital fantasia of Times Square flashing through cycles of incessant imagery to my left as I cross Seventh Avenue. In Bryant Park they’re playing ping pong in the rain. On the third floor of the Main Branch of the New York Public Library I sit on a marble bench watching tourists posing in front of the four massive panels of The Story of the Word, the work of Edward Laning (19061981), who taught for many years at the Art Students League after it moved to its current location on 57th Street. Walking down Fifth Avenue, I pass Lord & Taylor, soon to be, like so much else in Manhattan, a thing of the past, sold to an office rental outfit the New York Times says is “very much rooted in the virtue-

and-shell-game ethos of 21st-century capitalism … a story of the new economy cannibalizing the old.” On my way east on 23rd Street, Crane’s old neighborhood, I’m thinking of a photograph, one of the most charismatic images of New York Bohemia, in which Crane is lounging on a sofa in a studio in the old League building. In his early twenties at the time, he’s movie star handsome, laid back, cool, dressed in what might charitably be called informal attire, ready to hit the road to the Wild West or Cuba. “A Gesture of Menace” Whenever I read Crane on New York, I imagine him seeing ahead to the story of the city I know, as when he visualizes the demise of the “mournful old building” that housed the studios of the Art Student League, “awaiting the inevitable time of downfall, when progress, to the music of tumbling walls and chimneys, would come marching up t he av enues. Already, from the roof one could see a host advancing, an army of enormous buildings, coming with an invincible front that extended across the cit y, t ra m pling under their feet the bones of the dead, rising tall and supremely proud on the crushed memories, the annihilated hopes of generations gone. At sunset time, each threw a tremendous shadow, a gesture of menace out over the low plain of the little buildings, huddling afar down.” At the same time, I can relate my experience of the jazz-haunted city to Crane’s account of Minetta Lane, an alley off Sixth Avenue I used to take on my way to the Village Gate on Bleecker or the Five Spot and Jazz Gallery on St. Mark’s Place. In “New York Sketches,” Crane puts you there with “the street lamps, burning dimly” that “cause the shadows to be important” and the “Sixth Avenue horse-cars” that “jingle past one end of the lane,” which “ends in the darkness

of M’Dougall Street.” The inspired move that makes shadows important is Crane all the way, the sense of a free spirit of invention within a lyrical mixture of irony and attitude. After offering evidence that Minetta Lane was one of “the most enthusiastically murderous thoroughfares in New York,” he lets you know that it was built on the grave of Minetta Brook, “where, in olden times, lovers walked under the willows on the bank.” Monk at 100 I can also relate Stephen Crane’s New York prose to the music of Thelonious Monk (1917-1982), whose 100th birthday was marked by a recent 10-day festival covered in Tuesday’s New York Times. I’m thinking of the way Crane pounds out ironic riffs like the one on important shadows, which could be the title of a comp a n ion piece t o M o n k ’s “Brilliant Corners.” Listening to “ R o u n d Midnight,” I can hear the color and movement o f M o n k ’s music in Crane’s imager y: “In little songs of carmine, violet, green, gold./A chorus of colors c a m e ov e r the water.” A sign o f M o n k ’s continuing appeal can be found in “In Time A l l T i m e ,” a song by Mark Stewa r t, b e t te r known as S t e w, t h e composer of the musical Passing Strange who was in town a few weeks ago. In his tribute, Stew sings, “Mr. Monk is such a ray of wisdom and light/He dried all the fears from my eyes/And in time all time will be time.” When Stew says “Let us dance this waltz and unwind,” I remember Monk moving slowly, thoughtfully in place beside the piano one summer night at the Jazz Gallery. In his biography The Life and Times of An American Original, Robin D.G. Kelley describes what happened at the same club when Monk “counted out an extremely slow tempo” that had drummer Frankie Dunlop thinking “Every measure felt like a lifetime” as he “struggled to

make something happen and maintain the tempo against Monk’s off-meter phrases.” Suddenly Monk “got up from the piano to dance” and “sidled up alongside Dunlop,” saying “I told you it ain’t easy to swing when you’re playing slow.” This is the man the Times story calls “jazz’s most popular composer,” who once said “A note can be as small as a pin or as big as the world. It depends on your imagination.” Dizzy at 100 “Yeah. B e happy ! ” is what Dizz y Gillespie (1917-1993) said when an interviewer mentioned the “big part” humor plays in his “musical personality.” According to British jazz critic Michael James, Gillespie’s “tough but resilient” lines “speak of a joie de vivre capable of surmounting every obstacle.” James points out how “the beautiful coda” in “Groovin’ High” is “in marked contrast to the pyrotechnical flights of his solo, and yet there is no real clash between the two, both offering the same élan and joyous abandon.” I was lucky enough to see Dizzy Gillespie more than once at Birdland, where in the space of a minute he would move from slapstick antics to trumpet playing so fast and firey it left you wondering if you even heard what you thought you heard. Listen to the two explosions on his 1947 breakthrough record “Manteca” and you understand what he’s talking about in his memoir To Be or Not to Bop: “If you play every note that’s down there, it will become involved and stiff so instead eliminate those notes and make it so the note will be heard without being played.” Which reminds me of Stephen Crane and a writer he influenced: it’s the Ernest Hemingway theory of composition: “If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them.” Jazz Genie o back I go to “On the Sunny Side of the Street” live from Birdland, the song that roused my New York nostalgia and put me on the bus to the city. In the days when the clubs let in underage kids like me, the deal was you were there for the music and not the liquor. In Birdland you could sit near the bandstand in a section they called the bleachers and the $1.80 minimum brought you a coke or ginger ale, and hours of music, live, up close. The only time they wouldn’t let me in was when I showed up with a younger friend. It was no use pleading, they were turning us away when a genie stepped out of the shadows. It was Dizzy Gilllespie. Putting one arm around me and one around my friend, he said “These boys are with me” and escorted us inside. —Stuart Mitchner I’ve written separate columns on Monk (February 4, 2009) and Gillespie (May 9, 2007), from which I’ve quoted here.

Origins of the British Museum Subject of Labyrinth Talk

James Delbourgo and Michael Gordin will be discussing Delbourgo’s book, Collecting the World — Hans Sloane and the Origins of the British Museum at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, November 8 at 6 p.m. The event is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council. In The New York Review of B ooks, Jen ny Uglow writes: “While Sloane has been acknowledged in histories of the British Museum and of collecting, it is harder to step back in time and give an accurate picture of his mind-set and that of his age. In this, working from Sloane’s manuscripts and from the surviving objects themselves … Delbourgo has triumphantly succeeded …. But Delbourgo takes us further. In rescuing Sloane from amnesia, he has given

a double-edged account that upends the conventional understanding of the early Enlightenment and indeed the Enlightenment Museum itself …. Delbourgo’s challenging analysis shows how complex the cultural origins of the British Museum in fact were.” James Delbourgo is professor in the history of science at Rutgers. He has written for the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Atlantic and Cabinet Magazine. His previous books include A Most Amazing Scene of Wonders: Electricity and Enlightenment in Early America, which won the Thomas J. Wilson Memorial Prize. Michael Gordin is professor of history at Princeton University. He specializes in the history of the modern physical sciences and Russian, European, and American history and is the author of, among other books, Five Days in August: How World War II Became a Nuclear War; Red Cloud at Dawn: Truman, Stalin, and the End of the Atomic Monopoly; The Pseudoscience Wars; and Scientific Babel: How Science Was Done Before and After Global English. ———

A Fortuitous Visit to Artworks Gallery Inspires Blind Painter to Continue companion to Art All Night, which draws thousands to the capital city each June. Alexander lives around the corner from Artworks. But until one weekend morning a few months ago, he had never visited the gallery. “I went over there to sell my frames and canvases, because I didn’t expect to need them again,” he said recently. “And now I’m selling paintings. I never expected that this would happen.” Artworks executive director Lauren Otis and Trenton artist Tamara Torres were immediately intrigued upon meeting Alexander and seeing some photos of his work. That day, they took him up on an offer to visit his loft. “We walked over to his place with him, and we were completely blown away,” said Otis. “It wasn’t just his art, some of which is monumental in scale. It was the space itself. Here was this incredible painter who was right nearby, and we didn’t know anything about him.” Paintings in Alexander’s loft range from small, colorful portraits of jazz artists to huge, wall-size canvases emblazoned with one word. It is these large “word paintings” that he wants to resume. “I have some ideas now. Maybe there is something I can do with just words,” he said. “There are artists who do that. And that’s the

direction my work was going anyway. I want to give it a shot. It’s funny — now with this disability, I finally have the time to paint. I almost think that with my limited vision, I’m really going to be putting out stuff that shows who I am.” Another style that Alexander likes uses pieces of broken crockery, in the style of artist Julian Schnabel. “I love other artists’ work and I use elements of it all the time,” he said. “Like Schnabel and the way he used plates — I love the weight of it.” A picture of Alexander with Schnabel, whom he met several years ago, hangs on a wall in his loft. Next to it is a photo of Alexander with Bruce Springsteen, who visited his former studio in Asbury Park. “A friend of mine brought him by one day, and he was great,” Alexander recalled. “He took a lot of time, looking at everything and talking to me about it. He didn’t buy anything but he ended up leaving tickets for me to a couple of concerts he was doing, which was really nice.” Learning to navigate daily life without his sight is a challenge that has left Alexander feeling hopeless at times. But he has been energized by the response to a GoFundMe campaign

BACK IN THE GAME: Painter Ken Alexander is opening his Trenton studio on Saturday, November 4, as part of the sixth annual Art All Day. Glaucoma has left Alexander legally blind, but he still has much to say with his art his sister and others have launched on his behalf. “People from my past, people I haven’t seen in years, have contacted me and helped out. It’s like a big, warm hug,” Alexander said. “They have come to visit me. I had more company here this summer than the whole time I’ve lived here, which is more than 10 years. I feel now that I’m a blessed individual. I feel lucky.” A lexander credits T he New Jersey Commission for the Blind — specifically, his case worker Donna Panaro — in helping him to adjust. “She taught me how to use my cane, and my cane is now my best friend,” he said. “I don’t leave home without it. They’ve helped bring my confidence back. They’ve made me aware of all the things that are available to me, and they’re going to be a part of my life

Olcott’s “Requiem” At Morpeth Contemporary

Many thousands of species are at risk of extinction in the coming decades. “Requiem,” Jody Miller Olcott’s first solo exhibition at Morpeth Contemporary, at once remembers extinct animals and calls attention to endangered ones. The exhibition runs from November 4 through November 26, with a reception on Saturday, November 4 from 6-8 p.m. Olcott, a longtime Hopewell resident, found inspiration for these works

while traveling in Russia and seeing traditional Byzantine icons (sacred images representing saints and other religious figures). For her series, 18 months in the making, she preserves aspects of traditional icons — gold halos, painted wooden panels, decorative constructions with opening doors, and recognizable protagonists — but turns her attention to her own sacred — and, sadly, invisible — subject: extinct animals. The animals in Olcott’s form of altarpieces — species of birds, frogs, tigers, wolves, turtles — are as diverse as the reasons they are extinct, but their message is singular: a call for better stewardship. Morpeth Contemporary is at 43 West Broad Street in Hopewell. For more information, visit www.morpethcontemporary.com or call (609) 333-9393.

All boys, K-8 independent school

After almost two decades working as a chef, painter Ken Alexander was finally feeling secure enough to devote himself, fulltime, to his art. He gave up his job at a restaurant in Spring Lake. He moved from Asbury Park to Trenton, where he bought a light-filled loft in the city’s Mill Hill section. T h e f ir s t i nte r r u pt ion to Alexander’s plan was a happy one: the birth of his son. Eventually awarded full custody of Zachariah, now 8, he put his dream on hold and took a job as a butcher. Painting would have to wait. But some serious medical issues came next. After beating prostate cancer, Alexander was diagnosed with an artist’s worst nightmare: severe glaucoma. Despite surgery, he is now legally blind.

“#RealNews” Exhibit At MCCC Gallery

“#RealNews,” works by Michael Scoggins, is now featured at The Gallery at Mercer County Community College (MCCC). This solo ex hibit ion r u ns t hrough Thursday, November 30. The exhibit features ap proximately 12 large-scale works by Scoggins in which he lampoons American and art world politics and provincialism in disarming schoolboy-style doodles and writings. In his artist’s statement, he says, “A page out of a notebook, with its blue lines and spiral bound edges, is a familiar image. This is my primary vehicle in utilizing a connection with the viewer. The paper is enlarged to give this common object a sense of importance and to create a new perspective. The text and images placed upon the large page deal with the influences of American culture and how it has shaped my life.” Scoggins earned his MFA in painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2006 and has attended various prestigious residencies including the Skowhegan S chool of Paint ing and Sculpture, the MacDowell Colony, and Fountainhead. He has gained international recognition and gallery representation in Atlanta, Miami, New York, Detroit, San Francisco, and Vienna. His works have been added to collections including the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He has had more than 20 solo exhibits and been featured in multiple curated group exhibitions. Galler y Director Lucas Kelly, MCCC professor of fine arts, says, “We are excited to host Michael Scoggins, who has exhibited all

over the world. ‘#RealNews’ is a specific selection of his work that focuses on overtly political themes. I know the work will generate a challenging dialogue about his conceptual and formal decision making with students in a variety of disciplines.” The Galler y is located on the second floor of the Communications Building on MCCC’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. Gallery hours for this show are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. ———

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Pays Tribute To Reformation in Richardson Concert

rinceton Symphony Orchestra’s concert this past Sunday afternoon in Richardson Auditorium was both one of collaboration and also paying tribute to the music of the past. The keynote work on the program was Felix Mendelssohn’s Reformation Symphony, an appropriate musical commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s presentation of his world-shattering 95 Theses, but all three works presented by the orchestra looked back to previous eras. Princeton Symphony conductor Rossen Milanov built the concert gradually in intensity, beginning with Respighi’s programmatic Gli uccelli (The Birds). The five-movement work was one of the composer’s lighter and more intimate pieces, full of birdlike characteristics which were passed among the instruments of the orchestra. The Princeton Symphony began the first movement “Prelude” in a stately and courtly manner, with a contrasting middle section of wind parts full of trills. Principal flutist Yevgeny Faniuk’s graceful solo passages emphasized how masterfully Respighi wrote for winds, and oboist Nathan Mills provided a poignant melody in the second movement, which depicted a dove, accompanied by a nimble harp line played by André Tarantiles. In the third movement, the players kept their performance light and precise, as a pair of bassoons effectively captured the freneticism of a hen running around the barnyard until she finally wears herself out. Respighi’s imaginative orchestration was evident in duets between horn player Douglas Lundeen and flutist Faniuk; and harp and celeste, played by Tarantiles and celeste player Elise Auerbach. Conductor Milanov has maintained a strong commitment to rarely performed 20th-century music during his tenure with the Princeton Symphony, and Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff was an interesting and unique choice for Sunday’s concert. Schulhoff was born in Prague, and served on the Russian front for the Austro-Hungarian Army in World War I. He was branded a “degenerate” composer by the Nazis for his satirical musical pieces, and following his move from Germany to the Soviet Union at the beginning of World War II, he was arrested by the Germans and subsequently died in a Bavarian concentration camp. His alltoo-short compositional career included eight symphonies, numerous chamber works and several concerti. Schulhoff’s 1930 Concerto for String Quartet and Winds was rooted in his background as a

radio musician, emphasizing the contrast between the ensemble of winds and the string quartet. Schulhoff looked back to the Baroque concerto form for this work’s structural inspiration, but rather than a small ensemble of winds serving as a group of soloists against the orchestra, Schulhoff’s concerto is reversed. For Sunday afternoon’s performance, the Princeton Symphony was joined by the Lark Quartet, whose second violinist is the symphony’s concertmaster — Basia Danilow. Danilow was joined in the Lark Quartet by violinist Deborah Buck, violist Kathryn Lockwood, and cellist Caroline Stinson, and the Quartet played with uniform intensity and solid communication among the players. The Quartet lines were often melodic and chordal streams of sound with a 20th-century twist, especially in a cadenza-like passage closing the first movement. The winds and brass of the accompanying ensemble were particularly well-blended in the third movement, as Milanov kept both ensembles closely collaborating throughout the work. Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5 in D Major, known as the Reformation Symphony, was composed 100 years before Schulhoff’s concerto, in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Presentation of the Augsburg Confession, the primary confession of faith of the Lutheran Church. Not published until 21 years after the composer’s death, this symphony paid tribute to the Reformation in its incorporation of Martin Luther’s chorale “Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott,” a stalwart hymn of the Lutheran Church. Milanov and the Princeton Symphony began the first movement in a very stately manner, building intensity slowly, as solid brass unison passages contrasted with pianissimo violins. A decisive “Allegro,” with an emphasis on the composer’s marking “con fuoco” (with fire), was marked by consistent rhythmic drive among all the players. endelssohn showed his gift for melody in a very elegant second movement oboe duet played by principal oboist Mills and Jason Sudduth, as well as a mournful first violin melody in the third movement “Andante.” The unison cello sound of the second movement was very lean, and a flute soliloquy played by Faniuk led the Princeton Symphony well into a majestic fourth movement featuring Luther’s chorale. Milanov particularly drew out the dignity and stateliness of this tune as Mendelssohn’s symphony drew to a close. —Nancy Plum

Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s next Classical Series concert will be on Sunday, November 12.

mann, the team’s sergeant who suffers from PTSD. As the film unfolds, we learn that Adam has remained close with the surviving members of the tight-knit unit that was under his command. Unfortunately, all of them have some form of damage, mentally and/or physically. Consequently, all of their relationships at home are in crisis, and none of them has managed to hold down a steady job since their return. Adam’s wife (Haley Bennett) starts pressuring him to get help because he inexplicably dropped their newborn baby and he’s constantly looking for IEDs whenever they drive down the street. Unfortunately, there’s a nine-month waiting list to see a psychiatrist at the VA hospital and he’s also being discouraged from seeking treatment by a callous colonel (Jake Weber) who tells Adam that all he needs to do is toughen up. Other members of the group are Solo (Beulah Koale), a S a m o a n w it h a m n e sia whose pregnant wife (Keisha Castle-Hughes) is thinking of leaving him. Another buddy, Will (Joe Cole), was dumped by his fiancée (Erin Darke) even before he returned home. Things get worse before they get better. But this loyal band of brothers can count on each other, if not the VA or their loved ones for support. The movie is a heartbreaking tale that’s difficult to watch because its based on the hard, cold truth and is a sobering account of our wounded warriors’ tragic misfortunes. Excellent (HHH½).

n the spring of 2007, Washington Post reporter David Finkel accompanied a combat team of American infantrymen who were deployed to Baghdad at the start of the surge that was ordered by President Bush. After being embedded with the team for a year, the Pulitzer Prize winning reporter wrote about the G.I.s’ efforts to bring stability to the region in a riveting bestseller titled The Good Soldiers. In 2013, Finkel published a follow up book, Thank You for Your Service, that updated the team’s struggle to readjust to civilian life after returning home from Iraq. The book has now been made into a film and is a psychological drama that is tightly focused on the mental state of a few members of the team’s battalion. The movie is the directorial debut of Jason Hall, who previously wrote and appeared in American Sniper (2014). The picture stars Miles Teller as Adam Schu-

Merger of Former Area Youth Hockey Leagues Creates Lawrence Nassau Hockey Association

eam play, skill instruction, sportsmanship, and competition are all part of the newly formed Lawrence Nassau Hockey Association. Established in the spring of 2017, the association is a merger of the former Lawrence Hockey Association and Nassau Hockey Association, both youth ice hockey programs with a long history in the area.

IT’S NEW To Us

“The idea was that it was two hockey programs that recognized we could do more good and accomplish more together than individually,” explains co-director Ryan Loxam. Previously, the two hockey leagues were a mainstay in the area for both boys and girls learning to play ice hockey and compete in tournaments. All Levels The Lawrence Flames of

the Lawrence Hockey Association provided hockey opportunities for players of all levels for more than 50 years. Based at the Loucks Ice Rink at The Lawrenceville School, the team competed with hockey teams in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. In the past year, 230 players participated in 14 different Flames teams. Many players go on to play high school and college hockey. The Nassau Hockey League was founded more than 45 years ago by Sully Clark, and has been a very popular organization, explains Loxam. “From its inception, the program skated out of the Lisa McGraw Rink at Princeton Day School, where we continue to have a mutually beneficial relationship today. While Nassau developed a competitive travel hockey program over the years, the main focus on a relaxed environment where local boys and girls could learn to skate, play the game of hockey, and have a good time has never changed.

DISTINGUISHED TEACHING LECTURE IN SERVICE AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

Katherine Boo

“Nassau was started as and remains a nonprofit organization, fueled by volunteers with a passion for hockey. Throughout the merger, the focus on keeping Nassau’s In-House program fun and accessible was of key importance to the new organization as they continue to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ for Mercer County hockey players of all skill levels.” Three hundred players, aged 4 to 16, participate in the different sections and teams based on age. In addition, two overall programs include the travel teams and the In-House program. The former competes with other teams in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, while the In-House program is focused more on intramural play, with less emphasis on travel. “We are also developing a limited travel program with a fewer overall number of games and shorter travel distances,” points out Loxam. “This is a middle option between the In-House program and travel teams.” Practice and Games The travel teams include Mites, boys and girls ages 4 to 7; Squirts, 8 to 10-yearolds; PeeWees, 10 to 12; Bantams, 13 to 15 ; and Midgets, 16-plus. Players joining the InHouse program are in three levels: juniors, aged 4 to 7; seniors, 7 to 11; and varsity, 12 to 14. Practice and games take place at P r i nceton Day School’s Lisa McGraw Rink

a n d T h e L aw r e n c e v i l l e School’s Loucks Ice Rink. In addition, there is a Learn to Skate program for all ages, notes co-director Kathleen Preziosis. “This has 10 sessions, and we partner with the Princeton Skating Club. The first thing is that they learn to skate, at whatever age. I love seeing the little kids out on the ice. “I was a hockey mom. My sons played, and my husband played too. It teaches the players coordination, good sportsmanship, and it is such good exercise.” Adds Ryan Loxam, who grew up in Canada, and played hockey from an early age: “Hockey has many benef its. it teaches t he importance of teamwork, develops camaraderie and coordination. Also, you can play your whole life, and it’s a great way to make friends. If you move, just go to the rink, and you’ll meet people there. Then you’ll have them as friends.” The new association is a nonprofit organization, and includes 17 coaches for the travel team, 14 for the InHouse program, and four for the girls’ team. Safety Issues “Cara Morey, head coach of the Princeton University women’s hockey team, is the director of our girls’ hockey team,” says Preziosis. “Mike Rich is director of the In-House program, and Andrew Ducky is director of the travel program.” Practice sessions take place two to three times a week for the travel teams, a n d on c e or t w i c e, on weekends, for the In-House

FACE OFF: Two 11- and 12-year-old PeeWee ice hockey players face off against each other during a practice at the Lisa McGraw Ice Rink at Princeton Day School. They are now part of the newly merged Lawrence Nassau Hockey Association. players. Safety issues are very important, emphasize the directors, and cer tified gear is required for all players, including helmets, padding, and gloves. Certified referees oversee the games. Participation in the hockey program offers many benefits, believes Loxam. “It’s important for the kids to step up and support the team, to be on time, and follow through on their commitment. This is a very good life lesson. “We always emphasize good sportsmanship, and we encourage development of multi-sport athletes. This helps the overall development of the kids. In the summer, they can play baseball, soccer, and lacrosse. They use different muscles, and become better athletes. “I am very pleased to be part of the association,” he continues. “What I like most is helping the kids develop a real appreciation of the sport. It’s something I loved

growing up, and I want to be able to create something I can pass along to others, and help to instill a love of the game.” Adds Preziosis: “The oppor tunities for girls are really growing, and many more girls are joining the program. We are really excited to see the development of the girls’ program. We currently have a girls’ team for ages 9 through 12, and another for 13- and 14-yearolds.“ Both directors look forward to an expanded program as a result of the merger. “The potential of what the program can become because of the merger is so important. It will give the kids excellent hockey opportunities. There is no downside with the merger. It offers great opportunities all around.” For more information, consult the website: lawrence flames.org. —Jean Stratton

with showing self assurance on the ice as well. “He scored a goal; it was good,” said Fogarty. “There are some things we are going to tighten up with our defense. With the young guys, the defense position is very tough to transition. It was a good start for Reid.” The Princeton penalty kill played tough, surrendering just one goal in seven Holy Cross power plays. “I thought we did well in the shot lanes,” said Fogarty. “Our penalty kill is built on hard work with stops and starts. We had a freshman in there with Jake Paganelli and he did well. We won the special teams; we had one on the extra attacker and the power play.” With Princeton hosting Colgate on November 3 and Cornell on November 4 to open ECAC Hockey play, Fogarty is looking for the Tigers to keep working hard. “There are things to build upon,” said Fogarty. “To get that first win is huge; anybody across the board says it.

Squandering Late Lead in 29-28 Loss to Cornell, PU Football’s Ivy Title Repeat Hopes in Jeopardy In its final outing this September, the Princeton Universit y football team squandered a late 24-21 advantage on the way to a 28-24 loss to Columbia. Last Saturday as the Tigers hosted Cornell for their last game in October, they saw another lead slip away as they started the fourth

quarter up 28-16 only to lose 29-28 to the Big Red on a career-best 43-yard field goal by Nickolas Null with 48 seconds left in regulation. Princeton head coach Bob Surace acknowledged that the Tigers faded down the stretch. “We got worn down. We

didn’t make enough plays to get off the field,” lamented Surace. “It just seemed like every series, we just came up a little short and we ended up punting more than we would like.” C om i n g u p s h or t l ef t Princeton at 5-2 overall and 2-2 Ivy League, putting its hopes of an Ivy title repeat

SEEING RED: Princeton University junior running back Charlie Volker (No. 20) takes a hard hit in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, Volker rushed for 41 yards in a losing cause as Princeton fell 29-28 to visiting Cornell. The loss to the Big Red dropped Princeton to 5-2 overall and 2-2 Ivy League, dealing a blow to the Tigers’ chances for a league title repeat. Princeton will look to get back on the winning track when it plays at Penn (3-4 overall, 1-3 Ivy) on November 4. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

in jeopardy as three teams ( Columbia, Cor nell, and Yale) are currently at 3-1 in league action with three games remaining. “Every loss is frustrating, whether it is 50-0 or if it is 29-28,” said Surace. “We had our opportunities. The guys fight and fought back and had a shot at the end but we didn’t convert, which makes it even more disappointing for the guys in the locker room.” The Tigers showed fight to the final whistle, taking the kickoff after the Null field goal and driving 53 yards in 41 seconds to get a 44-yard field goal attempt by Tavish Rice, which fell short. “We had no timeouts, we did a really good job getting the ball down the field to have a chance,” said Surace, reflecting on that last-ditch effort. “We would have liked to have a few more yards on that. To come up short is really disappointing; you kick yourself. We probably could have done some things and gotten a few more yards.” Getting caught short-handed on defense as injuries have decimated the D-line, in particular, made things harder for Princeton. “We are going to have to find a way to keep these guys fresh because they can’t play that many plays,” said Surace. “We are talking two freshmen playing a big majority of it. We are going to have to find a way to get some other guys to help them stay fresh. We didn’t do a great job of adjusting to the guys we had in there and we have to do a better job while we have a week to prepare for that. Those guys are going to be good football players, they can still execute. We have got to put them in position to execute and do a better job with it.” Junior linebacker Thomas Johnson helped pick up the slack, making a lot of plays as he had a career-high 16 tackles to spark the defense. “He played his heart out; he was flying around the field,” said Surace. “He had stitches and he was bleeding all over the place and comes out just as the half ends. They stitch him up and he is a warrior. It is hard for me to scream and yell at them when you have guys like that playing their way through it.” Surace is looking for the Tigers to show heart when they return to action by playing at Penn (3-4 overall, 1-3 Ivy) on November 4. “I will be in at 6:30 in the morning on Sunday just like I always am; we are going to approach it the same way,” said Surace. “That is the way we prepare and I told the guys we will find out what we are made of. We will come out and do our best to fight against Penn.” With Pr inceton hav ing responded to the Columbia loss with three straight wins before the setback last Saturday, Surace believes in his players. “I have a lot of faith that they will work their tails off,” asserted Surace. “We are going to have to rearrange what we are doing. We are thin in some areas with injuries; we will see if we can make do.” —Bill Alden

The weekend got off to a rough start for the Princeton University women’s hockey team as it hosted Harvard last Friday night in its ECAC Hockey opener. On their heels after tallying an early power play goal, Princeton was outshot 20-4 in the first period as the Crimson knotted the game a 1-1. “It was a tough first period, we were not happy with how we started,” said Princeton junior defenseman and assistant captain Stephanie Sucharda, a 5’8 native of Mississauga, Ontario. Six minutes into the contest, Sucharda helped provide a highlight of the first period for the Tigers as she assisted on the power play goal by sophomore Carly Bullock. “They came at us pretty quickly; we were just trying to move the puck away from them,” said Sucharda. “Carly sniped the top corner; I was so excited that I knocked her down. I think that was the most energy I had the whole game with

that celebration. It was a good way to start the power play.” The Tigers showed energy as they outshot Harvard 2115 over the next two periods and knotted the game at 2-2 midway through the second period but ended up falling 3-2 to the Crimson. “We definitely regrouped after that at the start of the second period and outshot them in that period,” said Sucharda. “For the rest of the game, we played Princeton hockey. I think we were a little surprised at their speed at first, which we should not have been. I think that we really fought back.” The Tigers came out shooting a day later against Dartmouth, scoring three unanswered goals in the first period on the way to an 8-1 win as they improved to 1-1-2 overall and 1-1 ECAC Hockey. For Sucharda, assuming extra responsibility as a team leader has been surprisingly easy. “We have such a good group of girls that I feel like everyone is kind of a leader on the team,” said Sucharda, who had an assist in the win over the Big Green. “Everyone jells so well so it is not too tough of a job to be a leader on this team but I am happy with the role.” Not i ng t hat t here are five sophomores and seven freshmen on the Princeton roster, Sucharda has tried

to impart the basic principles of the program to the younger players. “I am just trying to get them to understand the culture of our team and work towards one common goal,” added Sucharda. “They are great kids so it hasn’t been hard; that has been the main focus.” Sucharda has helped the team’s defensemen keep focused as Princeton has given up just eight goals in its first four games. “I think our d-corps has been unreal so far this year, we are just hoping to continue with that,” said Sucharda, who now has three assists on the season. “Moving forward with the girls we have, I think we can do well and transition that to the offense and get the freshman forwards used to that a little more.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Cara Morey acknowledged that she had to shake things up to get the Tigers playing well after their shaky first period on Friday. “It is time to wake up and play our hockey,” said Morey, recalling her message at the first intermission. “ B a s i c a l l y, w e t a l ke d about supporting the puck and we talked about making the easy passes instead of the 20-foot plays. We talked about using each other and letting the puck do the work instead of our feet, and getting shots on net.” Morey liked the way her players responded to the wake-up call. “The second period was great; that is the way we play,” said Morey, whose team outshot the Crimson 13-5 in the frame. “The hockey was gritty. They battled, they had good habits, and they made good decisions with the puck.” S ophomore star Carly Bullock has been making good decisions with the puck as she tallied both Princeton

With Junior Sucharda Producing on Blue Line, PU Women’s Hockey Gets Into Win Column

SKATING HARD: Princeton University women’s hockey player Stephanie Sucharda, right, takes the puck up the ice in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, junior defenseman and assistant captain Sucharda chipped in an assist as Princeton topped Dartmouth 8-1. The Tigers, now 1-1-2 overall and 1-1 ECAC Hockey, play at Colgate on November 3 and at Cornell on November 4. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) goals in the loss to Harvard and now has a team-high six goals on the season. “Bullock is doing what we need her to do and we need the people around her to step up now and produce,” said Morey, who got great production in the win over Dartmouth as junior star Karlie Lund led the way with two goals and and an assist while freshmen Sarah Verbeek, Shannon Griffin, Sharon Frankel, and Amanda Harris each notched their

first career goals. “She can’t have to carry the whole team. Sometimes we put a lot of pressure on her and [Steph] Neatby in the net to win the games We need more people to step up at this point.” While Princeton doesn’t have a lot of depth, with only 10 forwards and six defensemen on the squad along with three goalies, Sucharda believes that can help each of the Tigers to step up. “I like having small rosters

because everyone is playing every other shift or so, you are always in the game, you are always mentally focused and ready to go,” said Sucharda as the Tigers get ready to hit the road for games at Colgate on November 3 and at Cornell on November 4. “It really helps the team come together; it is the basis of the team, everyone getting involved.” —Bill Alden

I don’t think we have ever been playing better hockey in terms of connecting our passes on the field and working off of each other and understanding how each other plays.” As a result, Brennan is confident that the Tigers can hold their own, no matter who they face in the NCAA tourney. “We are really well prepared for the tournament and whoever we get in the first round, we will give them a really good game,” said Brennan, noting that Princeton has run through a gauntlet of top-20 foes in its non-conference schedule this fall, including defending national champion Delaware along with such powers as North Carolina, Virginia, Penn State, Duke, Maryland, Syracuse, and UConn. “Facing those teams like UConn, you have a lot of respect for your opponents. But you also know that when you get into the tournament, you could beat them because you have played them all before.” —Bill Alden

A Princeton win over Penn will give the Tigers a share of the Ivy League title. If Princeton beats Penn and Columbia ties or loses to Harvard in its finale, the Tigers will get the Ivy title outright and the Ivy League’s automatic NCA A tournament bid. That would also be Princeton’s prize if the Tigers tied and Columbia lost. If Princeton and Columbia end even, the Lions would get the Ivy’s NCAA bid due to Columbia’s 2-0 win over Princeton on October 14. ———

Rebounding From Defeat in Sectionals, PHS Girls’ Tennis Ends on a High Note After the Princeton High girls’ tennis team fell 3-2 to South Brunswick in a Central Jersey Group 4 sectional quarterfinal match on October 10, Sarah Hibbert feared that her players might go through the motions as they wrapped up the regular season. Instead, PHS saved some of its best tennis for last, going 5-1 in the last two weeks of the season to end up with a final record of 15-3. “We had a strong end to the season,” said PHS head coach Hibbert. The Little Tigers played a very strong match in its finale, defeating Hopewell Valley 4-1 last Wednesday. “They are a very competitive team. We could have won that match 5 - 0, we could have lost 5-0; it depended on how everyone played that day,” said Hibbert. “It was great to see that everyone worked really hard.” PHS got big wins at first singles from sophomore Spencer Watts and at second singles from senior Helen

Bennett in the victory over the Bulldogs. Watts pulled out a 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 triumph over Marissa Liu while Bennett posted a 6-2, 6-4 win over Joyce Huang. “Those were great wins for them; they were both going against very strong players,” said Hibbert. “Spencer lost to her in the counties. Spencer was able to come back from being down 1-4 in the third set and then love-40 on her service game at five-all. She was able to string together some great tennis and close out the season on a high note.” Hibbert was proud of how her players rolled with the punches as they dealt with upheaval. “Considering how much changed from last year’s lineup, I was very pleased with the way everyone played this season,” said Hibbert. “We lost four of our starting lineup from last year and had changes right at the beginning of the season this year. They were still able to settle into their spots well.

Second doubles (sophomore Sora Sato and junior Adriana Todorova) was a real highlight for us; they went undefeated in regular season play.” The play of senior Denise Yang was a highlight this fall for PHS as she was moved into first doubles to play with junior Caroline Tan just before the county tournament. “I knew that Denise had the potential to be a strong player and I was just hoping that she would be able to do it when the pressure was on and she did,” said Hibbert. “She really stepped up; they took second in counties and they won a whole lot of matches for us at first doubles. For her senior year, I think it was great for her to be able to finish up her season with that kind of varsity career.” The Little Tigers got a great finish from Bennett, who ended up thriving in the second singles spot. “Hele n we nt f rom J V last year to second singles on varsity, which is a huge jump,” said Hibbert. “She did really well towards the end of the season. She clinched the match against Hopewell against a tough opponent and she played really well against Notre Dame. She came back and won in three sets there. She had a great year for us. She worked very hard, she was a great captain. She and Denise were great captains and leaders.” In Hibbert’s view, PHS has the potential to make a jump next fall with five starters slated to come back. “We have a strong core returning; we are definitely hoping for good things out of them next year,” said Hibbert, who moved sophomore Nicole Samios into the third singles spot early in the fall. “They all got a lot of experience this year and we have a lot of competitors waiting in the wings on JV. It will be interesting to see how the team shapes up next year.” —Bill Alden

PHS Field Hockey Falls to Lenape in States But Loss Doesn’t Dim Progress Made This Fall When the Princeton High field hockey team suffered losses to Lawrenceville and Allentown in the middle of the season, it didn’t appear to be heading for a strong finish. But PHS head coach Heather Serverson believes her players learned lessons from those setbacks that served them well coming down the stretch. “Even though they were losses, we really saw what our abilities were and the improvement that we had made at that point,” said Ser verson, whose squad lost 6-0 to Lawrenceville on September 27 before falling 2-1 in overtime to Allentown on October 4. “They really challenged us in ways other teams didn’t, to help us see what we had the ability to achieve.” The Little Tigers went on to achieve a lot, catching fire and making a stirring run in the Mercer County Tournament where they defeated Allentown 2-1 in overtime in the semis and then fell 5-0 in a rematch with powerhouse Lawrenceville in the final. “As a team that had lost nine seniors, it took us a little time to find our way,” said Serverson in assessing the late surge. “Some of the new players settled in nicely and were able to contribute throughout the season. We found our way to the finals of the MCT tournament; that was definitely a highlight of the season for us. We weren’t expecting it after the way we started (1-3-1). The girls really started to jell together and play to their abilities as a team and that was the result.” L a s t S at u r d ay, P H S couldn’t find a way to extend its season as the fifthseeded Little Tigers fell 4-1 to fourth-seeded Lenape in Central Jersey Group 4 sectional quarterfinal contest. “It is a new group for us. We are getting used to how that section of New Jersey plays,” said Serverson, who got a goal from Mariana Lopez-Ona in the defeat as her squad ended the fall with a 10-7-2 record. “We didn’t know what to expect and we couldn’t bring our best that day.” The team’s seniors brought a lot this fall as they helped bring out the best in their younger teammates.

“They had a really big job ahead of them because of the seniors that we had lost,” said Serverson, whose group of seniors included Lisette Dubow, Margaret Jacobs, Chloe Koehler, Lily Leonard, and Kate Rogers. “They had to not only mentor the younger players, but they had to help them believe in themselves and show them you can play with confidence and you do have the ability to do this. We are here to support you through it together.” The pair of goalie Rogers and defender Leonard proved to be the backbone of the team. “Kate and Lily stepped into their own, especially later in the season, and realized that they were more capable than they thought,” added

Serverson. “Once they had the other girls in place and they had their confidence built up, they realized that had more to give.” With a number of younger players gaining valuable experience this fall, Serverson believes the program is capable of more success going forward. “Lopez-Ona controls the center of the field for us and does a good job,” said Serverson, who also got fine work this season from junior Isabel Kinney, sophomore Eleanor Wilkinson, sophomore Lila Doran, and junior Renee Hoevers. “We will have some losses in the defensive unit but I think we have some people ready to step up and fill those positions. I think that next year’s season and hopefully the one after will be even better than this one.” —Bill Alden

As it went for a second straight state Prep B title, the Princeton Day School field hockey team dug an early hole against visiting Montclair Kimberley Academy in the championship game last Monday. Scoring off of a penalty corner, fourth-seeded MKA jumped out to a 1-0 lead over second-seeded PDS with 7:44 remaining in the first half. But showing the heart of a champion, the Panthers responded minutes later as junior star Sasha Sindhwani weaved through the MKA defense and found the back of the cage to knot the game at 1-1 with 1:15 left in the half. With PDS having battled to pull even heading into the second half, Panther head coach Heather Farlow liked her team’s prospects. “We were fine at halftime,” said Farlow. “It is a championship game, everyone shows up for a championship game.” Show ing its skill, PDS controlled possession for much of the next 30 min-

u te s, g e t t i n g a p e n a lt y stroke with 19:13 left in regulation that went just wide. But with gritty MKA holding the fort, the Panthers had nothing to show for its enterprise and the game headed into overtime with the teams still deadlocked at 1-1. “It was play a passing game, keep it small, and keep the ball moving,” said Farlow, reflecting on the team’s approach to overtime. That ball movement produced another penalty stroke some three minutes into first overtime but the MKA goalie turned it away. The Cougars later got a p e n a lt y cor n e r w it h n o time remaining in the first extra session and the ball bounced the wrong way for PDS as MKA trickled a shot into the cage to earn a 2-1 victory. The tally set off a raucous celebration for the Cougar players in front of the goal while while several of the PDS players were sobbing at the outcome. For Farlow, the failure to convert their two penalty

st rokes was par t icu larly frustrating. “We practice those every day and it is unfortunate that those didn’t go in because those should be sure goals,” said Farlow. In reflecting on a campaign which saw the Panthers post a final record of 12-6, Farlow acknowledged that there was more pressure on her squad this fall. “Overall I think we had a good season,” said Farlow. “Last year I think we took everybody by surprise with how we did. Once you have success, people play you harder and nothing is going to be easy. You are going to have to continue to work for it.” T h e P a n t h e r s w o r ke d hard in earning a return trip to the title game. “We did make it back here,” said Farlow. “We just weren’t the stronger team today but based on results I think we were the stronger team coming in.” Despite the sting of the loss in the finals, the Panthers have established t h e m s e lve s a s a s t r on g prog ram, hav ing posted two straight winning campaigns after going 6-13-1 in 2015. “I am competitive, like the girls are competitive,” said Farlow. “We always like to come away with a win but we are pleased that we are in the championship.” —Bill Alden

Allen’s Move to Forward Proved Pivotal As PDS Field Hockey Made Prep B Final A s t he P r inceton Day School field hockey team entered postseason play, Gwen Allen was asked to take a greater role in the offense. “I was playing right mid and I got pushed to right forward so I am getting more room in the front and a lot more scoring opportunities,” said Allen. Junior star Allen took advantage of those opportunities against Stuart Country Day School last Thursday in the state Prep B semifinals, tallying a goal and an assist to help the Panthers pull away to a 3-0 victory over the Tartans. “Our coaches said that this is the best game for them to watch and for us to play,” said Allen. “This is what we have been

working to all season, especially in terms of passing and getting the ball wide. We possessed it most of the game and our passing was awesome. That is what we have been trying to do all season so it was nice to see it pay off.” A llen’s passing helped PDS jump out to a 1-0 lead over Stuart as she assisted on a tally by Sasha Sindhwani with 16:18 left in the first half. “We have been stressing coming into the circle from the baseline and going in that way because a lot of times, we get stuck coming down the middle,” said Allen. “So I did that; I took it in the baseline and Sasha was open. That is what we have

been practicing a lot this week.” Allen tallied the final goal of the contest, scoring off a penalty corner with 11:27 remaining in regulation. “On our corner, it was going to go to Val [Radvany] and then the middle,” said Allen. “I was supposed to hit it but I thought I could get closer and lift it in so I did.” PDS head coach Heather Farlow sensed that Allen could give the Panther offense a lift after being shifted up the field. “We decided to move her out of that midfield spot, just to allow for us to give her the ball and let her take advantage of her speed and possession inside our offensive third,” said Farlow. While PDS ended up falling 2-1 in overtime to fourthseeded Montclair Kimberley Academy in the final last Monday, Allen is proud of the work ethic shown by the Panthers in making a return trip to the title game. “That is just awesome; last year was the first time we had won it in a while so to be in it two years in a row is really special,” said Allen. “We have a really closeknit group and we work really hard. This is a hardworking group of girls.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Evelyn Auerbach

Evie died at home on September 5, 2017 in Sylva, North Carolina of metastic breast cancer. She was 63 years old. Predeceased by her beloved mother Vivienne F. Auerbach in 1997, she leaves her father Raymond and his wife Carolyn ; her sisters Jeanne, Margaret, Carol, and Linda; and her brother Ray, and his children Alayna and Steven. As a young girl Evie was always sketching and drawing, and in her teenage years she gradually trained herself to work in watercolor, pastel, oil, and pen and ink. On graduating from South Brunswick High School in 1972, she had by invitation an opportunity to work with a potter in clay art at the Liberty Village Artists Collective in Flemington, New Jersey. She soon discovered

a new form of expression for her gifts as a designer and experimentalist; it decided her path in life. After residing in Princeton in the mid-1970s, Evie left her native New Jersey and ventured south to Florida and Georgia. From 1978 to 1982 she ran the Georgia Tech student crafts center, where she used the university’s equipment to teach herself how to throw a pot, operate a kiln, and make glazes. For the last 35 years, she lived in rural locations in the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina. In the inspiring natural setting that she deeply loved, Evie worked long and hard at designing and creating her own style of pottery and her unique porcelain jewelry and animal sculptures, all painstakingly handcrafted and one of a kind. Over the decades she regularly traveled to local, regional, and state art shows and festivals in four southern states to display and sell her art. She was also a talented self-taught pianist who enjoyed playing ever ything from Chopin to Scott Joplin, her lifelong favorites. Evie was first diagnosed with cancer at age 45 and decided to remain private about her illness and the treatment she pursued. Despite much hardship in the final years of her life, she very bravely continued to create, produce, and show her work until this past May. Evie will long be missed by

her family and by her friends and colleagues. While her family mourns privately, we encourage you to remember her by supporting local artisans or by giving toward the care and better treatment of all animals. Rest easy Ev, we’ll see you soon. ———

Marina Menaker Marina “Shayna” Menaker, 77, passed away Sunday, October 22, 2017. Born in Moscow, Russia, she was a resident of Princeton. She earned her Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in Russia, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1975. Shayna was actively engaged in numerous community activities, and especially enjoyed her membership at the New York Sports Club and her time playing PingPong and in other programs at the Suzanne Patterson Senior Center in Princeton. She was a member of The Jewish Center of Princeton and a regular attendee at services, educational programs, and social events. Predeceased by her parents, Bitsalem and Hannah Menaker, she is survived by a brother, Zahar Menaker, and a niece, Anna Menaker. Funeral services and burial were Thursday, October 26 at Washington Cemetery. There will be a memorial service to celebrate her life on Tuesday, November 21 at 7:30 p.m. at The Jewish Center, 435 Nassau Street

Lesley Jeanne Mitchell L e s l e y J e a n n e M i tc h ell, formerly of Princeton, died October 14th after a brief illness. A graduate of Douglass College (Rutgers University), she had moved to Princeton to accept employment in Princeton University’s Department of Art and Archaeology, but will be more widely remembered here as an exuberant, cheerful folk dance leader and performer. In 1980, following what she believed to be her calling, Lesley moved to Philadelphia to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Her work there won her a traveling scholarship, which enabled her to spend a year visiting many of the western world’s art centers and monuments. Upon her return, she was appointed to teach printmaking at the Academy. All the while, but for the travel period, Lesley continued to dance. She was a performer with the Princeton Ethnic Dancers repeatedly at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and with the Janosik Polish Dance Ensemble at various venues in Poland. And in more recent years she returned to Princeton to teach Tango regularly at

the Graduate College, Princeton University, and at the Suzanne Patterson center. In 1989, she married Kelly Ray, her Janosik dance partner, and they founded Dance Philadelphia, teaching various dance forms in their combination dance studioart studio. He survives her, as does sister Nicole, brother Noel, and their respective families. And she is remembered by countless others who were touched by her joyous and generous spirit. A celebration of Lesley Mitchell’s life is planned for a later date. For information, or to share remembrances/ condolences, please visit her Facebook page, or go to dancephiladelphia.com. ———

FED SET TO RAISE RATES: LOCK IN YOUR MORTGAGE NOW For years, we’ve enjoyed historically low mortgage rates that have made it easier for many people to buy a new home. But finance and economy experts say that when the Federal Reserve meets in December, they’re poised to raise interest rates for the third time this year. That means if you’re planning on buying a home, now is the time to get your finances in order and put in your mortgage application. You also have a little time to clean up your credit to make sure you get the absolute best rates. Start the process today by requesting your credit reports from all three major bureaus -- visit www.annualcreditreport.com to request them for free (once every 12 months). Next, start loan shopping. You can find plenty of websites with mortgage rates listed for major lenders nationwide, but don’t overlook your own personal bank and credit union. Even a half a percent can make a big difference; comparing a $400K mortgage at 4% and 4.5%, that half percent could wind up costing you about $42,000 over 30 years. Once you find a loan you like, lock it in -- then get started on the search for your ideal home.
