Gov. Murphy Urges New Technologies In PU Andlinger Speech

Wednesday, November 14, 2018

Jesse Jackson Sees “Light in the Darkness”

Delivering the keynote address in a daylong conference on clean energy technologies that brought together leaders from the worlds of business and academics, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy presented his vision for making the state a global leader in innovation and clean energy. He claimed that New Jersey, with Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Bell Labs, Sarnoff, and others, “was the Silicon Valley before it was the Silicon Valley,” and promised that the state can reclaim its place in global innovation. In an event at Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment focusing on environmental and economic progress in the state, Murphy emphasized the importance of Princeton as “an internationally-renowned center for research and development. He noted the value of taking academic ideas and research and “shaping them into real-world solutions.” Murphy pointed out New Jersey’s plans to expand energy storage and the use of solar power, to increase energy efficiency for the state’s utilities, and to use wind energy to power 1.5 million homes and businesses by 2030. “But, more universally, we want to make New Jersey the home base for any innovative company, in particular, obviously, in the energy sector,” he continued. “We are committed to not just making New Jersey a state that runs on clean energy, but the place where vital research and development, and even the manufacturing of component parts, happens.” As evidence of his administration’s commitment to bringing groups together to support the environment and the economy, Murphy noted the New Jersey Wind Institute, which will develop the state’s potential for wind technology, and the proposed Innovation Evergreen Fund, which would provide $100 million annually, a combination of state resources and venture capital, to develop new businesses. “We want new technologies designed, built, tested, and eventually Continued on Page 9

Preaching to a congregation of about 800 in the Princeton University Chapel on Sunday, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, iconic civil rights, religious, and political leader, called for hope and perseverance in the current troubled political climate. “Is it dusk moving toward midnight or dawn moving toward noon time?” he questioned in his sermon leading off the Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) annual Multifaith Service and Conference for Peace. Joining Jackson at the afternoon conference attended by about 250 at the Nassau Presbyterian Church, speakers included Ambassador Wendy Sherman, head of the U.S. team that negotiated the Iran nuclear agreement; Ray Acheson, a leader of the International Campaign to Ban Nuclear Weapons; Leon Sigal, director of the Northeast Asia Cooperative Security Project at the Social Science Research Council in New York; and Bill Hartung, an internationally recognized expert on Pentagon spending and the global arms trade. Noting that working for peace and justice is a journey through darkness, a process without a rapid payoff, Jackson said, ”There is a certain darkness in our nation today — elections based upon who has the most money, the most deceptive ads, the

real capacity to suppress votes without any conscious restraints.” Enumerating injustices and abuses of power in recent events, he asked repeatedly, “What time is it?” and questioned, “How does one navigate in the darkness?” Jackson went on to point out lights of hope in the dark: W.E.B. DuBois, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela from history, and from current events, “during this dark season, the refugees from Central America, Beto in Texas, Gillum in Florida, Abrams in Georgia.” He continued, “In the darkness, you must imagine globally, not just personally or nationally. There are no

more foreigners in the world in light of social media. Everyone is everyone’s neighbor in the world house.” Concluding on an optimistic note, Jackson asserted, ”People of faith know that darkness is not permanent. It’s dark but the morning comes.” In the afternoon sessions, Jackson emphasized the importance of diversity in improving American life and working towards social justice. Urging organizations and individuals to embrace diversity, he cited examples of striking improvements achieved through diversity from Jackie Robinson and his effect on the quality of Continued on Page 7

University Launches Architecture Program For Trenton Central HS Sophomores

Trenton high school students are plunging into the world of architectural studies, under the direction of the Princeton University School of Architecture’s Princeton ArcPrep, a program featuring an immersive semester-long course on architecture, urbanism, and integrated design studio practices. “Princeton ArcPrep is introducing some of our region’s most promising students to architecture, a field that has historically lacked diversity,” said Princeton University School of Architecture Dean and Program Director Monica Ponce de Leon. “I

am deeply committed to providing these students — all of whom have an aptitude for architecture but lack access to formal training and support — an opportunity to develop the skills that will propel them into a successful career.” The inaugural class of 15 Trenton Central High School (TCHS) sophomores, selected for their academic standing and interest in architecture, spend three hours a day, four days a week in studio at TCHS, studying architecture through a project-based learning curriculum.

Gilbert, fourth from left, who currently serves as the U.S. Army War College fellow at Princeton University. Gilbert is shown with local veterans and members of the Princeton Police Department.

Intended to inform, educate, and raise awareness among local residents and tourists, a series of large National Park Service-style signs have been placed at choice landmarks in highly visible and easily accessible locations around Hopewell Township. This signage program has been funded by a bequest from the late Catherine Hoch and by a grant from the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission. To date, four signs have been installed: at the iconic Hart’s Corner Schoolhouse (at the intersection of Scotch Road and the Washington Crossing-Pennington Road intersection close to the Township municipal building); in nearby Woolsey Park, where the prominent Woolsey family and long-lost Mercer and Somerset Railroad are discussed; on the bend in the hamlet of Marshall’s Corner, where the Continental Army turned and headed for the momentous pitched battle at Monmouth Courthouse in the summer of 1778; and at the Mount Rose Distillery (adjacent to the LawrenceHopewell Trail), where cider

@CrazyJewishMom Instagram Star to Appear at JFCS Benefit

Trying to hold a three-way phone conversation with Kate Freidman Siegel and her mother, Kim Friedman,

is a challenge that would be annoying if it wasn’t so funny. This mother/daughter comedy routine is the basis of the popular Instagram account @CrazyJewishMom and Siegel’s book, Mother, Can You NOT?

which offers features like “Ask Mom and Spaw n,” as well as a podcast every Sunday. For Siegel, watching the account go viral was a shock. “There was no way for me to know this would happen, that we would go from 11,000 to 300,000 followers in 24 hours,” she said. “There was a lot of crazy media pickup.” Writing Mother, Can you NOT? was “a no-brainer,” said Siegel. “It’s a collection of essays about all of Siegel, a 2011 graduate the insane adventures we www.princetonmagazinestore.com Continued on Next Page of Pr inceton Universit y, will bring her unique take on maternal involvement, or interference, to Stuart Cou ntr y Day S chool on Wednesday, November 28, at 6:45 p.m., in a program presented by the Jewish united by cable Family & Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County (JFCS).

The reaction? Gales of laughter. “She’s always texting me annoying, funny things, like, ‘What’s that smell? Oh, it’s your decaying eggs,’” Siegel said. “People were just dying. They couldn’t stop laugh ing and encourag ing me to read more. I had this ‘aha’ moment — maybe there’s something here, where people would find it funny while I find it annoying.” She started posting the texts on Instagram. “She lied about it,” Friedman said. “She said, ‘Can I send some of these to my friends?’” Despite the snark, it’s obvious that Friedman, who is a television and film director, is proud of her daughter and thrilled that some 700,000 people follow the account,

got into when I was growing up in L.A.” Accounting for the success of @CrazyJewishMom and the book, Siegel said, “I think all of this is just extremely relatable. There is something about the mother/daughter dynamic. My mother is intense, but we have seen that this could be crazy Catholic mom, crazy Indian mom, or whatever. It strikes a universal chord. And I also think none of this would work if it wasn’t fo u n d e d o n l ov e. Ev e n though she makes me want to tear my hair out.” Friedman adds, “I say to her what mothers want to say to their daughters and talk about to their friends, but they don’t. You have to be honest but not push too much. Who’s going to advocate for them if not you?” It hasn’t been all fun and humor for @ CrazyJewishMom. Siegel and Friedman have experienced their share of anti-Semitism, especially since the October 27 murder of 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. Siegel posted a lengthy letter on her personal account detailing her experiences with Instagram when she reposted some anti- Semitic images and rhetoric that had been sent to her. Instagram informed her she had “violated community guidelines” and that her post had been deleted and could be “restricted or disabled” should she “violate guidelines” again. After a great deal of outrage in posts by the account’s followers, Instagram restored the original post they had deleted. Siegel’s letter goes on to say she is all too familiar with digital hate, and has been asked by the Anti-Defamation League to keep track of what she receives. “I’m not a tone-deaf, sociopathic Aryan race warrior who wants to rub salt in the wound inflicted on the Jewish people in Pittsburgh and around the world,” she wrote. “I’m a proudly and publicly Jewish person who runs a humorous Instagram account called @CrazyJewishMom, where I post funny memes and mortifying conversations with my neurotic, Jewish mom. My intent with sharing that post was not to cause anyone pain, but rather to highlight the problem with hate speech regulation on Instagram.” But life goes on for this mother and daughter, who are now in the ultimate @ CrazyJewishMom territory, since Siegel recently got engaged. “I don’t know why I thought it was going to be a moment of relief,” she said. “It’s not. My mother is in higher gear than I’ve ever seen her in my life, planning this wedding.” Friedman is enthusiastic about her son-in-law-to-be, a nice, Jewish boy. “And as I have been reminding her, every year there are less and less eggs,” she said. —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:

“How should we thank and honor veterans for their service?”

(Asked Monday at the Spirit of Princeton Veterans Day Ceremony) (Photos by Erica M. Cardenas)

“I think as a society we don’t do enough to honor those who are serving and the families that have loved ones serving. My son is going to be deploying to Africa for six months, and I won’t get to see him. The community does a good job with ceremonies like this on Veterans Day, but there’s still a lot of work to be done on other days throughout the year.” —Chris King, Princeton Police Department

“Today we are honoring the sacrifice and service of millions of Americans who have fought in our nation’s wars in the past two centuries. What’s important about Veterans Day is that it’s not just about honoring those who have served today, it’s about honoring them every day of the year and helping them integrate back into society and become honorable citizens for the rest of America to emulate.” —Lt. Col. Peter Gilbert, U.S. Army War College Fellow at Princeton University

“Never forgot what they’ve done and that they’ve served. Every time you see a vet say ‘thank you.’ I know that’s one way of showing appreciation for their service.” —Lance Liverman, Princeton Councilman

“We should support veterans by attending events such as today’s ceremony. Throughout the year we should thank veterans that we know individually and support groups that are specifically there to help veterans with assistance that they may need. This is something to keep in mind every day throughout the year.” —Mark Freda, Princeton

“We don’t think of them in terms of the context of which they’ve served. I think it’s a matter of reflecting and understanding exactly how they gave their lives for our country, and we don’t do that.” —Tony Dimeglio, Princeton

Major League Baseball to the present. He called on the peace movement, largely white and middle class, to reach toward being more inclusive. CFPA Executive Director Bob Moore acknowledged that the CFPA needs to continue its efforts in responding to the challenge. He echoed Jackson’s words, stating that diversity has been a priority of his organization. “We’ve paid attention,” he said. “We’ve worked hard on

the diversity challenge, and it pays off. It gives us vitality and connection that pays off over time.” With calls for open-mindedness, getting beyond groupthink, and “changing the narrative” but staying committed to the cause, the afternoon speakers touched on some of Jackson’s themes in their discussions of nuclear and conventional weapons, North Korea, Iran, and other global concerns. —Donald Gilpin

Red Cross Launches Course For Opioid Overdoses

The American Red Cross has launched First Aid for Opioid Overdoses, an online course to teach people how to respond to a known or suspected opioid overdose. “An opioid overdose is a lifethreatening emergency,” said PRINCETON EATING CLUBS OPEN HOUSES: The Cottage Club is one of many Princeton University Rosie Taravella, CEO, Amerieating clubs that will be open to visitors for free, self-guided tours on Sunday, November 18 can Red Cross New Jersey Reand Sunday, December 2.

opioid overdose, it’s important to start providing care immediately and knowing what to do can help save someone’s life.” The 45-minute online course contains content on how to identify the signs and symptoms of a suspected opioid overdose and the appropriate care to provide based on the responsiveness of the person. Information about how to use several different naloxone

products – including a nasal atomizer, Narcan® Nasal Spray and EVZIO® – to temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose is also included. People can register and access the course at https:// www.redcross.org/take-aclass/opioidoverdose. Because an opioid overdose can lead to cardiac arrest, people are also encouraged to take a Red Cross CPR/AED course.

lished The Princeton Eating Clubs, a vividly illustrated book by historian Clifford Zink detailing the history, evolution, and architecture of these distinctive buildings. In a Town Topics story last December, Zink said, “The clubs themselves are superb examples of t he architecture of the period. They are in a remarkable state of preservation. Most are over 100 years old. The care that has been taken on the interiors and exteriors is remarkable.” The eating clubs are part of the Princeton Historic District, which was established in 1975 and consists of 64 buildings. The Princeton Prospect Foundation is

signed Drumthwacket, now the New Jersey governor’s mansion). Zink pointed out that several contemporary local architects, including J. Robert Hillier (a Town Topics shareholder), Michael Mills, Michael Farewell, Michael Mostoller, and John Hatch, have done additions or renovations to the buildings. The clubs occupied multiple houses before the buildings they occupy today. “A lot of these were former professors’ houses. They were moved multiple times,” Zink said. “It became ‘musical clubhouses.’”MOVED The interiors of the clubs are ornate, for the most part. Some have original furniture and hand-wrought lighting fixtures. “When you think that a century of undergraduates have passed through these buildings, it’s even more amazing to see the condition they are in,” Zink said. “Tiger Inn still has reproduction Elizabethan furniture bought in 1895 in Chelsea, England, by the mother of two undergraduates.” For m or e i n for m at ion about the tours, visit princetonprospectfoundation.org. —Anne Levin

More than 20 different eating clubs have been established at Princeton since 1879. There are currently 11, 10 of which are on Prospect Avenue. The clubs have been co-ed since the early 1990s. “They were all built between the 1890s and the turn of the century, which was the greatest period of growth and prosperity in A mer ican histor y,” Zink said. “That provided the financial resources.” Many of the clubs were designed by prominent architects of the period: McKim, Mead and White; Cope and Stewardson ; and Raleigh Gildersleeve (who also de-

Subjects included the development of wind energy, sustainable cements, and lowcarbon hydrogen production. In introducing Murphy, Andlinger Center Director and Engineering Professor YuehLin (Lynn) Loo noted how Murphy had “developed a plan to hit the ground running” at the start of his term 10 months ago and had “brought confronting global climate challenge to the top of New Jersey’s agenda. The Andlinger Center stands ready to help you and your administration to put New Jersey in the forefront of fighting climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.” —Donald Gilpin

Princeton ArcPrep is a rigorous academic program that helps participating students to prepare for college and to develop skills, knowledge, and awareness related to careers in architecture. Ponce de Leon launched a successful ArcPrep program in Detroit in 2015 while she was dean at the University of Michigan. That program, with more than 200 graduates, continues today. After completing the program, Princeton ArcPrep students can continue to pursue

their interest in architecture and design through an afterschool Architecture Club at TCHS. Princeton ArcPrep will continue to support students as they transition to college. Support for Princeton ArcPrep comes from the Princeton University School of Architecture, Trenton Public Education Foundation (TPEF), LENNAR — We Care Foundation, NJM Foundation, West Windsor Gardens, Sharbell Development Corporation,

Eckert Seamans Charitable Foundation, and Mary Jo and James C. Hedden. Katie Zaeh, Princeton School of Architecture Architectural design fellow, is the program instructor.

The New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) issued its findings last Friday, November 9 that “the undisputed facts indicated the use of force was justified under the law” in the fatal policeinvolved shooting at Panera Bread on Nassau Street on March 20. Fol low i ng a fou r- hou r stand-off at the restaurant, Scott L. Mielentz, 56, of Lawrenceville was fatally shot by two members of the New Jersey State Police SWAT unit. As a result of the investigation, which included numerous witness inter v iews, v ideo of the shooting, forensic analysis of the scene, and other evidence, DCJ Director Veronica Allende determined that presentation of the policeinvolved shooting to a grand

jury was not required. The troopers shot Mielentz with M4 rifles when Mielentz raised a gun, a Crosman PFM BB pistol, and pointed it at the two troopers and other law enforcement officers at the end of the long standoff. All of the law enforcement witnesses reported that they believed throughout the standoff that it was an actual firearm. Under the Attorney General’s Independent Prosecutor Directive, the use of deadly force by the state troopers was investigated by the Attorney General’s Shooting Response Team, made up of investigators from the Division of Criminal Justice and the New Jersey State Police Homicide Unit, all of whom operate independently of their usual chain of com-

According to the DCJ report, during the four-hour standoff, negotiators used many tactics in their efforts to get Mielentz to drop the we ap o n a n d s u r r e n d e r. Mielentz repeatedly asserted that he wanted to die and threatened to shoot an officer if the officers did not shoot him. After analyzing the evidence, Allende concluded that the troopers’ use of force was justified. T he facts and circumstances reasonably led the troopers to believe their actions were immediately necessary to protect themselves and their fellow officers from death or serious bodily harm, the DCJ report noted. —Donald Gilpin

All In A DAy’s Work

Historical Society Executive Director Izzy Kasdin Shares Her Love of History with the Community

t’s not just facts and figures and dates. It’s ideas and events and explorations. And, especially, it is stories. Stories about people and places and not only major historical figures whose names we all know — but about those we don’t know. It’s about what they did, what they thought, how they lived, how they worked. This is history and this is what engages Izzy Kasdin, executive director of the Historical Society of Princeton. From the time she was a young girl growing up in Princeton, she has been fascinated by moments from the past and how they resonate today. “My first exposure to history was through historical fiction,” she recalls. “I was a huge reader as a child, and historical fiction was my favorite genre. When I w as ver y you ng, t h e A mer ican Girl doll and Dear America books were all the rage. Those were probably the first historical fiction books I read, and they were incredibly powerful — I could read about girls my age participating in major historical events. They made history relevant to me; I saw myself represented in the narrative.” Entry Point “In the back of the American Girl doll books, the authors always included a section where they

would showcase real photographs, documents, and artifacts from the events or period recounted in the book,” she says. “That was my first exposure to primary sources. Historical fiction was my entry point to history, and I think it’s such a great springboard for conversations about real historical themes and events.” While a student at Princeton High School, Kasdin became a high school docent at the Historical Society of Princeton (HSP), t h e n h e a d q u a r te r e d at Bainbridge House on Nassau Street. “I loved it,” she remembers. “It was my first exposure to public history, and I wanted to learn more about a public history institution. Erin Doherty, the director, took me under her wing, and I learned so much. Kasdin’s interest in history continued and deepened when she entered Princeton University, where she majored in history and American studies. “I discovered that historical information and historical thinking are two different things. It is important to think critically, examine forces, and understand perspectives.” During her college years, she also served as a museum education intern with the Ford’s Theater Society. In addition, she spent a semester at the Institute of Archaeology at University College London.

After graduating from Pr inceton in 2014, she worked as a research assistant at HSP, later returning to England, where she earned a Masters of Philosophy (MPhil) in archaeological heritage and museums at the University of Cambridge as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. Fascinating Stories While in England, Kasdin had been offered the position of curator of collections and exhibits at HSP, which she accepted in 2015. She continued in that role prior to becoming executive director. Founded in 1938 (and one of the first historical societies in the area), HSP’s vision is to serve as a “hub for experiential education, and stewardship of collections and places,” according to its mission statement. “HSP preserves and shares Princeton’s diverse, important, and fascinating stories with wide audiences. In so doing, HSP enhances community vitality and builds historical literacy, cornerstones of healthy civic culture.” Since its founding, HSP has amassed, recorded, and exhibited a collection of more than 100,000 artifacts, manuscripts, photographs, decorative arts objects, artwork, household items, and articles of clothing dating from preColonial times to the present.

This collection underscores a broad range of educational services and activities that HSP offers to local residents, students, scholars, and visitors from around the world. Walking tours, lectures, recreational activities, and educational programs for school and the general public are all included. Named HSP executive director in 2016, Kasdin is now responsible for overseeing the smooth functioning of these various aspects of the HSP mission. She supervises all daily operations and is responsible for monitoring HSP’s fiscal health as well as directing and executing the organizat ion’s st rateg ic plan and long-term vision. She is also active in directing HSP’s menu of programs and exhibits. “I wear many hats,” she says with a smile. “I’m involved in HR, finance, development, and also serve as CEO. Every day is different. I enjoy working in a small organization and being confronted ever y day with the operation of an historical organization. We are a small but mighty organization!” Historic Property Her appointment as director came shortly after HSP moved to its current locat ion at t he Up dike Farmstead at 354 Quaker Road in 2016. After nearly 50 years at Bainbr idge House (which was once the site of the Princeton Public Library), HSP had an opportunity to move to a new home. The Updike location provides more space and room for expansion for the Society’s collections, exhibits, and events. Moving to this historic property, which was settled by Quakers and dates to 1690, adds yet another dimension to HSP’s dynamic role in making histor y come alive both to residents of the area and visitors. “My office is this historic farmhouse, sections of which date to 1790,” reports Kasdin. “We have also renovated a large barn from 1892, and the oldest beam there is from a tree dating to the 1580s.” Kasdin’s enthusiasm for the site is contagious, and visitors share her excitement. “Our visitors come to us with varying levels of historical background, and are interested in learning more. Some visitors come from all over the world. “I am very pleased that we have doubled the audience for the public programming, which has also greatly increased since 2016. We have a variety of walking tours all relevant to Princeton history, among them, Princeton Universit y architecture, the University eating clubs, and a new tour on the contribution of women in the community.” HSP also provides digital tours, such as the Albert E. Hinds Memorial Tour: African American Life in Princeton. Current Exhibition On view at the new location are many and varied exhibitions. For example, a permanent exhibit, the Einstein Salon, features furniture from his home

EXPLORING HISTORY: “I enjoy the opportunity to talk with people about history, and see them get excited about it. I also love seeing them get involved with an exhibit or event that we have put together.” Izzy Kasdin, executive director of the Historical Society of Princeton, is enthusiastic about introducing people to history’s unique insight and relevance to today’s world. on Mercer Street and other memorabilia. Sharing the same room is the Innovators Gallery, a rotating exhibit celebrating the life and work of a Princeton-based innovator. On the first floor of the farmhouse, visitors can also learn about the history of the farm site. Another current exhibition focuses on Woodrow Wilson and World War I. Group programs, public programs, school programs, and other various events are all part of the HSP purview. And in many cases, in innovative ways, u n der K as d i n’s le ader ship, they are pushing the boundaries of the traditional local historical museum model. “Exhibitions can be held in other places as well as t he Far m s te ad, i nclu d ing the public library, the Charles Schwab branch on Nassau Street, and the Arts Council,” she points out. “We also regularly present what we call Open Archive programs, featuring an hour and half look at never-seen collections. These programs are particularly exciting to me because we don’t provide a huge amount of interpretation right off the bat, although the curator is on hand to answer any and all questions. Different attendees strike up the conversations with their neighbors about their observations and questions about each document or ar tifact. I love how history becomes a conversational and social activity at these programs. They can be held all over, and it’s hands-on, interactive, nothing in glass cases. People really enjoy this.” “We also have a new Historical Fiction Book Group series. We advertise the book, people read it, and then come for the discussion. I love pairing novels with scholars to unpack different periods and places, and build historical literacy within the community.” Miniature Version The renovated barn at the Updike location is used for many different events,

including rental space for gatherings, receptions, and occasions, notes Kasdin. “A ls o,” she s ays, “ i n addition to programs for m iddle and elementar y school students, we have recently branched out into high school classrooms. The goal is always to use primary sources to ground a larger historical topic in something recognizable and relevant to students. And also to leverage primary sources in order to hone students’ critical reading and analysis skills.” As a nonprofit organization, HSP must focus on funding. Revenue is provided through state funding, m emb ersh ip due s, grants, contributions from corporations, foundations, institutions, individuals, and fundraising events. Kasdin is direct ly in volved in t hese ef for ts through mailings, writing grants, and face-to-face interaction. A f ter m ore t ha n t wo years as executive director, Izzy Kasdin has found that her commitment to history had deepened and her desire to share it with others has increased. “I think what actually surprised me was my ability and zeal for articulating why history education matters. For so long, history has been a personal, private joy of mine, but I never really had to justify why I enjoyed it so much. It’s been quite inspiring — and important — in this role to have the opportunity to explain to the broader community why history is so important, and to search for those reasons within my own historical interests. I was surprised by my own passion in that area. I truly have become one of history’s most vocal advocates because of this role. “Now, I look forward to continuing to transform the Updike site to be a destination for all types of people and for many different purposes. It’s not just museum space. We want to make it relevant to many people and in many ways.” —Jean Stratton

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and will be kept on file and reviewed when vacancies occur. We strive to have volunteer boards that reflect the diversity of the Princeton community. I hope you will consider volunteering for a board or commission and be a part of the conversation to shape the future of Princeton. LIZ LEMPERT Mayor

Westminster Choir College Acquisition Corp.’s Accreditation Efforts Proceeding As They Should

To the Editor: In a recent Town Topics article on the proposed transfer of Westminster Choir College from Rider University [“Controversies Continue Over the Future of Westminster Choir College,” pg. 1, Nov. 7], Jeffrey Halpern seriously mischaracterized the situation with regard to the accreditation process. The Westminster Choir College Acquisition Corporation’s efforts to obtain accreditation are proceeding just as they should. As I said in the article, we don’t expect approval from the National Association of Schools of Music until the transfer goes through and the College is a standalone institution at the end of June 2019. If anything delays the transfer, it will be the unfounded allegations upon which litigation by opponents of the transfer is based. Professor Halpern admitted as much: “There is no way we see this being resolved within the deadline…Anyone who’s ever been involved in a civil suit would find that laughable.” So, in his own words, the real impediments are those lawsuits and the opponents’ tactics. For him to suggest “a whole slew of accreditation” issues could force Rider and WCCAC to miss the agreed upon transfer deadline is, to borrow his word, “laughable.” It’s time for everyone who cares about the future of this treasure of a music school to rally behind the one plan that will assure Westminster takes its place as a leading, world-class, music educational institution, artistically and financially stronger than ever. LARRY LIVINGSTON Interim President, Westminster Choir College Acquisition Corp.

Niedergang and Williamson Thank Voters For Supporting Vision of “Princeton for All” To the Editor, Another Election Day has come and gone and the voters have spoken. Here in Princeton, voters have chosen to support our vision of “A Princeton for All” by electing us to Princeton Council. We are honored and humbled by your faith in us. We are committed to ensuring that Princeton remains a welcoming and inclusive community — which means tackling the issue of property taxes head on. We will work to hold the line on municipal taxes while striving to maintain excellent services. This process must be transparent and accountable to you, the voters. A Princeton for All means proactively engaging our community in planning for growth that is sustainable — both environmentally and financially. Your input ensures an outcome that best meets all our needs; we look forward to your active participation. Contested elections are the cornerstone of democracy, and we thank our Republican opponent, Lisa Wu, for stepping up to represent her constituents. We would like to gratefully acknowledge those who supported us along the way: our families; our wonderful campaign team, ably led by Campaign Chair Walter Bliss and Co-Chairs Mia Sacks and Kathy Taylor; our Communications Manager Bill Schofield; Treasurer Helen Heinz, and Deputy Treasurer Princess Hoagland; the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee, chaired by Scotia MacRae; the Princeton Community Democratic Organization, led by president Jean Durbin; and countless other supporters who put up lawn signs, organized meet and greets, held fundraisers, went door to door with us or for us, helped with mailings, attended campaign meetings, and provided wise advice and lots of coffee. It really does take a village and we couldn’t have done it without all of you. We thank you and pledge to remain accessible so that together we can create a town that reflects our shared vision and values. EVE NIEDERGANG AND DWAINE WILLIAMSON

Action on Climate Change Can Be “Simple, Effective, Market-Driven” To the Editor: Count the recent issues with mold in our schools as an indication of things to come when climate change progresses. With large projected increases in heat and humidity, as well as increased flooding, the mold problem in New Jersey will get even worse. This is only one of the factors through which we’re rapidly reaching the point that the costs of not doing anything about climate change far outweigh the costs of taking action. Fortunately action does not have to be expensive. Carbon Fee and Dividend is a simple, effective, and market-driven solution, which is endorsed by localities as far and wide as the cities of Philadelphia, Salt Lake City and San Francisco, as well as our own town. Citizens’ Climate Lobby: a national organization consisting of almost 500 local groups, is actively engaging politicians across the political spectrum, as well as community and business leaders, in order to create the political will to advance this solution. The Princeton chapter of CCL has over 50 active members. For more information, go to citizensclimatelobby.org. VÉRONIQUE OOMEN Linwood Circle

AREN’T THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE MULTI-FACETED YOUR MAMMOGRAM SHOULD BE TOO

On behalf of the members of our congregation and the Jewish community of Princeton, we wanted to express our sincere gratitude to the countless members of the greater Princeton community who were in touch with us after the shooting at the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh. When we read news stories like this, the first reaction of so many is shock and horror — how can something like this happen in our country, in a house of worship, or in a school or any other place that is supposed to be safe. When we heard the news, we felt scared and we wondered how best to reassure the people in our congregation that we are safe here in Princeton. The feelings of fear and shock and sadness were quickly met with feelings of comfort and support and love that we received from so many local friends. Many religious leaders reached out to us immediately to express their sorrow and to offer their comfort to us. Mayor Lempert of Princeton and Chief Sutter of the Princeton Police were among the first people to contact us after the attack to offer assistance. As we mourned the loss of life and renewed our conversations about security, it felt good to know that we have so many friends and allies in this local community. It meant so much to join with over 700 people at the special Community Prayer Service on the day following the attack that our friends hosted for the community at the Nassau Presbyterian Church.

This past weekend, our Solidarity Shabbat services were filled with guests and supporters from so many parts of the greater community including our Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, ministers and priests from some of the local churches and many, many members of Princeton religious institutions who came to worship with us. We cannot express to you how much that means to us. In speaking to our congregation, we stated that any act of hate against any one group in this community is an act of hate against all of us. We must keep in mind that the opposite should also be true — any act of love felt by one group should be shared and felt by every group in our community. We all need to speak out and stand up against acts of violence and hatred including hatred against African Americans, Asians, members of the LGBTQ community, Hispanics, women, and acts of anti-Semitism like the vicious attack in Pittsburgh. We are grateful to everyone who expressed their support and respect for our local Jewish community and we feel so fortunate to be a part of this great town. We look forward to continuing these important conversations in the coming days. RABBI ADAM FELDMAN AND LINDA MEISEL, President of The Jewish Center

jaZams Thanks Library and Town For Supporting the Children’s Book Festival To the Editor: As owners of an independent small business, we are writing to thank the Princeton Public Library (PPL) and the town for creating and supporting the Children’s Book Festival, held on Saturday, September 22 on Hinds Plaza. We are proud to have partnered with Susan Conlin head of Youth Services, the staff of Youth Services, and everyone at PPL as the bookseller for the Children’s Book Festival for the last eight years. It is heartening to see so many children and their families engage with authors, illustrators and the library in a celebration of books and reading. We have watched the Festival grow over the years with authors and illustrators coming from across the country to have a spot on the plaza. This year’s Book Festival was a tremendous success, one for the record books! As we have for the last eight years, jaZams will be donating 2 percent of all sales from the Children’s Book Festival to the Library — an incredible $15,000 for PPL this year! Thank you to everyone who had a role in this wonderful event — the staff of Princeton Public Library, our incredible staff (known as the jaZamily), and Nomad Pizza who helped us celebrate the 13th Annual Children’s Book Festival. We are fortunate to live in a community which supports small businesses like ours and look forward to partnering with the library on next year’s festival.

Referendum Vote First Step In Bringing Princeton Public Schools into 21st Century

To the Editor: On Tuesday, December 11, Princeton voters will be asked to approve a $26.9 million referendum to fund critical updates at all six Princeton Public Schools. I urge voters to say Yes! for the good of all school children in Princeton. If passed, the referendum would fund, among other things: Upgrades and expansion of HVAC systems. This would add air conditioning and ventilation to some 128 classrooms at the elementary and middle schools, and help prevent future mold outbreaks in wet summers such as the one we just weathered. Electrical and mechanical updates so that our schools — the youngest of which was built in 1965 — could adequately accommodate today’s technology. Security improvements to entrances — a sad, new necessity. Some of the pressing needs at the high school, including the addition of four classrooms, a redesign of the guidance office, an expanded fitness space, and a second distribution point for school lunches. If approved, the bond would increase taxes by only $6.79 to $12.61 per $100,000 of assessed home value for the first three years, and then would drop substantially below current tax levels as old facility bonds are fully paid off in year four. This vote is an important first step in bringing Princeton Public Schools into the 21st century — one which the outgoing Board approved unanimously, and which all five Board of Education candidates supported during their recent campaigns. Let us end this contentious election season with a show of town unity and vote Yes together on December 11. The cost is relatively small, but creating safer and healthier learning spaces for our children is priceless. NICOLE PEZOLD-HANCOCK Jefferson Road

When a Human Being Is an Event: Visions of New York City in Fact and Fiction

put to the rottenness in the Republican administration. But, as usual, I’m on the losing side. ‘Bill’ Taft, a jolly looking fat man designated by [Theodore] Roosevelt as his successor gets the office — and the cancerous growth is to have four more years. I’m not a Democrat, I am of no party. I’m for change — for the operating knife when a party rots in power.” Another entry from Sloan comes on Election Day 1907, where “noisy trumpet blowers, confetti throwers and ‘ticklers’ are in use--a small feather duster on a stick which is pushed in the face of each girl by the men, and in the face of men by the girls.” It’s a “good humorous crowd, so dense in places that it was impossible to control one’s movement.” And there’s “a big election bonfire on Seventh Avenue, with a policeman trying to keep its creators from adding fuel.” A few pages later, on November 8, 1881, Theodore Roosevelt is noting his election to the New York legislature “by a majority of 1501” over the Demo cratic candidate. November Mob Given the postelection chaos w e’r e l i v i n g through in midNovember 2018, it’s jarring to read journalist Edward Robb Ellis’s November 30, 1954 entry comparing a Madison Square Garden Rally for Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy to “a cocked g u n t hat faile d to fire” because of, among other things, “the GOP defeat in the election” and McCarthy’s “subsequent loss of his chairmanship” and thus his command of the “witch hunt” against Communist subversion of American institutions. Ellis refers to speakers who “turned truth inside out” declaring to the “frenetically shrieking people...that everything they said was cold rationalism. We believe in law and order, they shouted, even as they ejected a girl photographer who had broken no law, committed no disorder...They said more much more, but they failed to spew the words that could have unleashed the beasts. The mob wanted to hear about mob-given laws. It wanted to be told that it had ascended to the throne.” When Donald Trump’s onetime mentor Roy Cohn showed up to “help the mob make love to itself,” there arose “a throaty chant: ‘We want Roy, we want Roy!’” As Cohn approached the speakers’s platform, “the audience rumbled expectantly. Roy

henever I think of New York City in fiction, the first two novels that come to mind are Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, which was published on or before November 14, 1851, and J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, published on July 16, 1951. Ishmael’s voyage, the remedy for the “damp, drizzly November” in his soul, begins on “a dreamy Sabbath afternoon” in “your insular city of the Manhattoes,” where “the streets take you waterward.” The “madman stuff” that happens to Holden Caulfield on his voyage through Manhattan leads him to, among other places, “the movies at Radio City,” which was, he says, “probably the worst thing I ever did.” McPhee on Manhattan While John McPhee is not a writer readers normally associate with the city of the Manhattoes, his new work The Patch (Farrar Straus and Giroux $26), published yesterday, November 13, and previewed here last month, offers ample evidence of a Princeton commuter’s long-term relationship, including a piece on the Radio City Music Hall whose opening paragraph might have moved Holden Caulfield to call him up for a chat: “A little boy is going to come to New York someday, disappear, then eventually return to his hometown as a middle-aged man. When his mother says, ‘Where were you all this time?,’ he will tell her, ‘In the line at the Radio City Music Hall.’ He may even introduce her to the girl he met near the end of the queue, courted between Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Plaza, and married at Sixth and Fiftieth.” The second part of The Patch, an anthology of pieces collected for the first time in book form, concludes with a celebration of Alaska containing an evocation of “megalopolitan towns” in McPhee’s “part of the world,” where “people are so numerous that if they were all to come out of the buildings at once they would not fit in the streets. As one result, and perhaps as a form of survival, they tend to close each other out. Conversation goes off at peculiar angles. Glances run perpendicular to the channel of the talk. No one is listening.” In Alaska’s “small, high latitude communities, ... a human being is an event.” Election Aftermaths Human beings and events are one and the same in the city of the ages Teresa Carpenter explores in New York Diaries: 1609-2009 (Modern Library $26), an embarrassement of riches that makes for addictive, irresponsible, non-linear reading. With the election still very much on my mind, especially after Thursday’s Hinds Plaza rally supporting the Mueller investigation, I went right to the month of November and painter John Sloan’s reference to “the din of the thoughtless” celebrating Election Night 1908. After noting that William Jennings Bryan was defeated “for the third time in his attempt to be President,” Sloan writes, “I voted for him for I feel that some stop must be

would tell everyone! Roy had all the answers!...This was the moment! But — he fizzled out,” unreeling “long and involved sentences,” serving “pap when the mob wanted red meat.” However, “he did shoot one dose of hyperbole” into the mob: ‘If the Senate ...votes to censure, it will be committing the blackest act in our whole history!’” Had Cohn “machine-gunned bursts of short emotional words into that audience, he would have carried the night — and maybe the entire history of the nation. Greased with the poison of lies, they would have found their mark and killed the soul of an entire people. Instead, he shot over their heads. He should have aimed at their bellies.” Cohn’s protégé knows all too well where to aim. And here we are. Intimations of 9/11 As you’d expect, Teres a Car pen ter gives special attention to the dates September 11 to 17, 2001, although personal narratives of the attack on the World Trade Center and the aftermath have been so thoroughly and widely documented that she was hard put to f i nd m u ch t hat was wor thy of the enormity of the event. Among the bloggers she quotes, a Brooklyn cook and restauranteur writes, “People keep asking me if I want to get out of the city now. I don’t want to get out at all. I feel I’ve been nailed to this city forever, tattooed as its own.” Some of the most interesting entries are from Simone de Beauvoir’s 1947 visit. If you still have images of September 11 in your consciousness, it may heighten your response to what she writes on January 26: “Rising above the skyscrapers, the sky surges through the straight streets; it’s too vast for the city to tame, and it overflows.” The entry ends with a ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty: “I just want to see a view of the Battery as I’ve so often seen it in the movies. I do see it. In the distance, its towers seem fragile. They rest so precisely on their vertical lines that the slightest shudder would knock them down like a house of cards. When the boat draws closer, their foundations seem firmer, but the fall line remains indelibly traced. What a field day a bomber would have!”

“An Auditory Illusion” In books as carefully mined as Diaries, there are gems everywhere, whether it’s Andy Warhol on March 11, 1978 (“I had a lot of dates but decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows”), or the Empire State Building as seen by novelist Dawn Powell on November 15, 1931 (“The most magical spot in the world”) and poet James Schuyler on November 9, 1987 (“silvery and half erased and more beautiful than I’ve ever seen it”). On January 28, 1939, novelist Glenway Westcott writes, “I bought a newspaper to read on top of the Fifth Avenue bus, and therein came upon the news of the death of Yeats, and to my astonishment experienced an auditory illusion: two or three claps of thunder, not loud, at a distance, but awe-inspiring on that bright winter day.” Melville’s Mountain Diaries offers a glimpse of the author of Moby Dick on October 1, 1856, from his friend Evert Duyckinck: “Herman Melville passed the Evening with us — fresh from his mountain charged to the muzzle with his sailor metaphysics and jargon of things unknowable. But a good stirring evening ploughing deep and bringing up to the surface some rich fruits of thought and experience.” Finally, there’s some disagreement about when Moby-Dick was published. In fact, its first appearance, as The Whale, was in England on October 18, 1851. According to A Book of Days for the Literary Year (Thames and Hudson 1984), the American publication date was November 14. Andrew Delbanco’s Melville The Man and His Work has it as November 1. In any case, few dates are more central to Melville’s writing life than November 14, 1851, for it was then that, according to Delbanco, the first copies of Moby-Dick arrived at his home in Pittsfield, Mass. On that same day Melville took a copy over to Nathaniel Hawthorne in Lenox “and invited his friend out to dinner at the local hotel.” Two days later Hawthorne wrote the “joy-giving and exultation-breeding” response that inspired one of Melville’s longest, happiest letters, in which he says, “A sense of unspeakable security is in me this moment, on account of your having understood the book.” Months before the high of November 14, however, there was the June low of the letter to Hawthorne with its admission, “Though I wrote the Gospels in this century, I should die in the gutter.” In fact, he died in comfortable surroundings a little less than 40 years later at 104 E. 26th Street, so little known by then that the New York Times death notice identified him as “Henry Melville.” .D. Salinger died on January 27, 2010, leaving behind a number of manuscripts arranged for publication. Almost nine years later, his heirs have released nothing, an unhappy echo of Holden’s closing line, “Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.” —Stuart Mitchner

Books Chr is Hedges Reading From “Amer ica : The Farewell Tour”

Chr is Hedges P u lit zer P r i ze - w i n n i ng journalist Chris Hedges will be reading from his new book America: The Farewell Tour (Simon & Schuster $27) at Labyrinth Books on Tuesday, November 27 at 6 p.m. Ralph Nader says, “Chris Hedges wants us to face realities. Our society is unraveling, institutionally and structurally, and is being replaced by the corporate state of merging big business and government. Commercialism overwhelms civic values, impoverishes its subjects, and reaches into childhoods bypassing parental authority. Poverty, addiction, gambling, and hopelessness spread like epidemics. Only we the people can reverse the disintegration of

democracy by plutocracy. In America: The Farewell Tour, Chris Hedges depicts the horrifying truths on the ground from which resistance rises to jolt us into an active, realizable culture of reconstruction.” According to Kirkus Reviews, “Hedges writes a requiem for the American dream. . . . [A] fiery sermon that weighs the nation and finds it wanting.” Chris Hedges served as t he Middle E ast Bureau Chief and Balkan Bureau Chief for The New York Times. He writes for Truthdig and is host of the Emmy Award–winning RT America show On Contact. Hedges is the author of, among others, the bestsellers American Fascists; Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt; and War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning. He teaches college credit courses in the New Jersey prison system.

University Press Poets Reading at Labyrinth

Princeton Universit y Press poets Austin Smith and Dora Malech will be reading at Labyrinth Books on Thursday, November 15 at 6 p.m. They will be introduced by poet, critic, and translator, Princeton Professor Susan Stewart. Austin Smith’s Flyover Countr y is “a power f u l collection of poems about violence: the violence we do to the land, to animals, to refugees, to the people of distant countries, and to one another.” I n Stet , D or a Ma le ch “takes constraint as her catalyst and subject, exploring what it means to make or break a vow, to create art out of a life in f lu x, to reckon w ith the body’s bounds, and to arrive at a place where one might bear and care for another life.” Tapping the inventive possibilities of constrained forms, particularly the revealing limitations of the anagram, Stet is a work of serious play that brings home the connections and intimacies of language. Austin Smith is the author of a previous poetry collection, Almanac, and h i s work h as app e a r e d in t he New Yorker, Po etr y, Ploughshares, and many other publications. He te ache s at Stanford University. Dora Malech is the author of two previous books of poetry, Say S o a nd Shore Ordered Ocean. Her poems have appeared in the New Yorker, Poetry, The Best American Poetry, among others.

She is assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Universit y. Susan Stewar t won t he National Book Cr itics Circle Award for her volume of poems Columbarium. Her most recent book of poems is Cinder: Ne w a nd S ele c te d Po ems. Her books of criticism include The Poet’s Freedom: A Notebook on Making ; and Poetry and the Fate of the Senses.

Labyrinth Hosts Debut Novelist

Labyrinth Books presents debut novelist Tamsen Wolff reading from Juno’s Swans ( Europa $17) on Wednesday, November 28 at 6 p.m. The event is cosponsored by Pr inceton Un iversit y’s Hu man it ies Council. A review in Booklist comments, “With its acutely por trayed psychological depth, a heady summer at its heart, and its focus on a well-worn friendship that becomes uncharted territory when first love enters the picture, Wolff’s debut, coming-of-age novel casts a literary spell that recalls the dazzling second book of Elena Ferrante’s Neopolitan novels, The Story of a New Name.” Tamsen Wolff is a professor in Princeton University’s English Department, where she specializes in modern and contemporary drama, voice, directing, and dramaturgy. She has published essays in numerous journals, and is the author of Mendel’s Theatre: Heredity, Eugenics, and Early Twentieth-Century American Drama.

the ancient art of papercutting. This art form has been around in one form or another since the Chinese invented paper, and has been infinitely adapted over time by different artists and cultures. Learn how to cut paper into artworks with contemporary artist Dan Landau on Monday, November 26 at 6:15 p.m. in a free class at Labyrinth Books, 122 Nassau Street, Princeton. Participants will receive paper-cutting tools, templates, and hands-on instruction in this class. The event is free and open to all community members a g e d 16 +, b u t s p a c e i s limited and registration is required (register at Eventbrite: http://bit.ly/PapercuttingEventbrite). The evening’s program will feature a brief conversation about the history of paper-cutting by Sonja Andersen, a doctoral student in Princeton University’s Depar tment of G er man, followed by a paper-cutting demonstration and tutorial by Landau. “The research that I do about the 17th century has implications today,” says Andersen. “Paper was precious then, and even little

scraps were saved for use in papercutting art. There’s this urge today, to go back to basics and get away from the excessive technology in our lives.” Andersen is currently writing a dissertation on 17th-century literature and media. “Papercutting is a zen-like experience that requires patience and focus,” says Landau. “It’s very relaxing and provides the perfect antidote to our current atmosphere of buzzing screens.” Combining the art disciplines of drawing and papercutting, Landau creates detailed artworks by drawing on paper roadmaps and then cutting out the empty spaces around the drawing and the roads with a craft knife. Focusing primarily on portraits, his work is characterized by intricate paper-cut details and bold ink drawings. Landau lives in Bridgewater. See his art and creation process at www. DanLandau.net. For more infor mation, email Andersen at sonjaa@ princeton.edu.

Richardson Chamber Players Presents “From Buenos Aires to Brooklyn”

nyone who came to the Richardson Chamber Players performance on Sunday afternoon at Richardson Auditorium learned a great deal about unusual instruments and composers. The ensemble took the audience on a musical journey from throughout the Americas to Brooklyn, New York Sunday afternoon with a concert of 20th-century works of composers both known and unknown from Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Paraguay, and Mexico, and of course, Brooklyn. The concert, which included a large number of players, was designed to explore music from South and Central America and the Caribbean from composers who in some cases had huge repertories of pieces which were largely unknown. Argentina was represented by the very well-known Astor Piazzolla, as well as the more obscure Carlos Guastavino and the contemporary Daniel Binelli, who performed his own music. Guastavino, one of the most successful Argentine composers of the 20th century, incorporated the country’s folksong tradition into his works. The “pampas,” the fertile lowlands prevalent in the Buenos Aires region of South America, provided the inspiration for Guastavino’s strophic “Pampamapa” (“Map of the Pampas”). Mezzo-soprano Barbara Rearick, accompanied by pianist Ronald Cappon, performed the poignant words sensitively, with Cappon’s flowing piano part replicating a guitar. Rearick’s rich top register was evident in the second Guastavino song, “La Rosa y el Sauce,” which ended effectively with a vocalise similar to the Rachmaninoff song which inspired its composition. Astor Piazzolla is most renowned for his composition of tango music and music for the bandoneón, the tango’s signature instrument. Rooted in the German concertina musical tradition, the bandoneón was well known in 19th-century German religious and popular music, and when brought to Argentina in the late 1800s, was incorporated into the tango genre. The bandoneón is still very popular in Argentina, most notably through the music of Daniel Binelli, who has composed extensively for the instrument and performs worldwide. Binelli was also featured in Sunday afternoon’s concert, playing both his music and the Concierto para Quinteto of Piazzolla. Prior to performing his own “Metropolis,” Binelli performed a short demonstration of the bandoneón in which the audience could hear the instrument’s connection to the organ in its ability to swell dynamically and play multiple melodic lines

simultaneously. Binelli demonstrated quick fingering in both the pieces, emphasizing the Romantic capabilities of the instrument. Both his and the Piazzolla works were accompanied by double bass, piano, violin, and guitar, fusing South American musical style with instruments from the Western European tradition. One of the more fascinating composers presented Sunday afternoon was contemporary Cuban composer Leo Brouwer. A founder of the 1960s Cuban avantgarde music movement — likely inaccessible to the United States until recently — Brouwer has composed scores for more than 50 films, as well as works for guitar. Brouwer’s 1978 Música Incidental Campesinas, a set of four musical miniatures, brought together guitarists Laura Oltman and Michael Newman in a showing of crisp and florid playing. The four movements of this work were each barely a minute long, but demanded the highest technical versatility from each player. The third movement “Danza” in particular showed light and accurate fingering from Newman. Oltman was later featured in a three-movement work by Paraguayan guitarist and composer Agustín Barrios Mangoré. Most charming of Mangoré’s short pieces was the opening “Gavota al Estilo Antiguo,” rooted in the Baroque Gavotte dance form and inspired by the music of Bach. Oltman played this piece especially cleanly, with the acoustic classical guitar speaking well in the hall. he Richardson Chamber Players turned away from Latin America only for a set of four songs of George Gershwin, featuring mezzo-soprano Rearick. No one captured Brooklyn musically like Gershwin, who composed some of the most memorable American music of the 20th century. English composer and arranger Sir Richard Rodney-Bennett set of a suite of four Gershwin songs for England’s 1991 Aldeburgh Festival, at which Rearick premiered the songs. These songs drew on the Richardson stage the most number of players for the afternoon, with Rearick accompanied by strings, harp, clarinet, and flute. Flutist Nicholas Ioffreda elegantly provided an echo to Rearick’s rich voice in the opening “Maybe — Soon,” and clarinetist Jo-Ann Sternberg played smooth and graceful solos in two other numbers. These arrangements were clearly well within Rearick’s vocal wheelhouse, and the Richardson Players ended the afternoon with an appealing taste of Americana. —Nancy Plum

Iphigenia and Other Daughters

THEATER REVIEW

Theatre Intime Presents “Iphigenia and Other Daughters”; Greek Tragedies are Told from the Female Characters’ Viewpoints

heatre Intime, whose cast and production team consist of Princeton University students, is presenting Ellen McLaughlin’s Iphigenia and Other Daughters. The play is a contemporary retelling of three Greek tragedies — Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis and Iphigenia in Tauris and Sophocles’ Electra — with an emphasis on the female characters’ points of view, though Iphigenia’s brother, Orestes, is integral to the story. The show was commissioned by the Actors’ Gang in Los Angeles. It premiered in 1995, at the Classic Stage Company in New York City. McLaughlin has written several other plays based on ancient Greek tragedies, including The Trojan Women, Ajax in Iraq, and Oedipus. Iphigenia and Other Daughters “humanizes these iconic figures that are the titular characters of their original plays yet are given little chance to tell their sides of the story,” says sophomore Rosie Vasen, for whom this production marks a successful directorial debut, in a press release. “I love it because it highlights and celebrates the voices of these imperfect women.” The action begins during the events of Iphigenia in Aulis. Queen Clytemnestra has brought her daughter Iphigenia to be sacrificed — by her father, King Agamemnon — to the goddess Artemis. Iphigenia has been led to believe that she is going to marry the warrior Achilles, though she perceives that the situation is odd. “What is it to be a bride here?” she muses. “Nothing can happen here, I think. It is a place of dead air.” “What kind of place am I taking my darling? ” the anguished Clytemnestra rhetorically asks, adding, “A place of idle soldiers — the most dangerous kind. Spears over-sharpened by boys burning to kill for the first time.” Later in the scene, Iphigenia realizes, “Here is my husband: this ancient stone, and the quick shadow of the knife. I am to marry everyone.” The second part, which is set during Electra, focuses on the aftermath of the previous scene. Iphigenia’s sister, Electra, is digging up a garden — to the dismay of their other sister, Chrysothemis — to make a grave for Agamemnon, whom Clytemnestra has killed. It is during a quarrel between Clytemnestra and Electra that we discover the significance of this play’s title: the queen preferred Iphigenia to her “other daughters.” We also realize that Clytemnestra’s

grief has embittered her, apparently draining her of any maternal feeling; she describes Electra as an “embarrassment.” Clytemnestra is equally stony when she is told (deceptively) that her son, the soldier Orestes, has been killed; her response is to ask about the fate of his horse. Orestes arrives carrying an urn. He tells Electra, “Orestes, son of this house, is dead. I was his companion. Here are his ashes.” After they discover each other’s identity, Electra begs the reluctant Orestes to kill Clytemnestra. The third and final segment takes place during Iphigenia in Tauris. We discover the true fate of Iphigenia, whose manner now is deadpan: “I hear my mother killed my father on account of me. I was impressed; I didn’t know I rated so much vengeance.” Iphigenia is briefly reunited with Orestes, who has been sent by Apollo to steal a statue of Artemis. The two siblings concoct a plan to free Orestes from the Furies, who are tormenting him for the murder of Clytemnestra. Iphigenia and Other Daughters suc-

ceeds because it has been carefully structured as an independent, cohesive entity. The events of the original plays provide a backdrop against which the characters’ reactions to them can be explored. What emerges is an arc in which Iphigenia begins as a character with no control over her circumstances, and is the source of the subsequent conflict. In the final segment she attempts to take command of her situation, and offers a resolution to that conflict. Reviews of previous productions have objected to some anachronistic dialogue, particularly a reference to Jell-O. Although the line is uncharacteristic of the show’s overall mood, McLaughlin clearly wants the piece to be a timeless consideration of the extent to which incessant violence becomes a way of life, and destroys a family. This concept is supported by William Alvarado’s set, in which the garden is littered with clocks set to different times. Similarly, the costumes by Haydon John prioritize character definition over establishment of a specific time or place. Clytemnestra’s black cocktail dress, and Chrysothemis’ equally impeccable gray

Chrysothemis (Katharine Matthias ‘21, left); Electra (E Harper Nora Jeremijenko-Conley ‘20, center); and Clytemnestra (Abby Spare ‘20) confront each other about their family’s murderous past.

dress, contrast with Electra’s ragged, loose-fitting costume. A delicate white dress underlines Iphigenia’s innocence, while Orestes’ outfit is dark gray, spattered with blood red. The lighting by Martin Mejia aids Vasen in creating visually striking tableaux, particularly at the end. Mejia’s eerie sound design, too, enhances the tension in key moments. At the start of the play, Carol Lee highlights Iphigenia’s palpable apprehension, as well as her prim determination to contain it. A usually even tone of voice is belied by nervous, though restrained, body language. In the final scene, Lee contrasts this with a calmer, matter-of-fact demeanor, underlining the character’s newfound equanimity. Abby Spare infuses Clytemnestra with an aristocratic attitude. Her performance makes clear that the character’s justifiable grief and anger have become her reason for living. Like Lee’s portrayal of Iphigenia, Spare’s performance as Clytemnestra is marked by impeccable posture, befitting the poise she has learned to exude. This reserve is immediately contrasted by E Harper Nora Jeremijenko-Conley’s performance as Electra. Where the other characters’ movements are graceful, hers are animated, punctuating her unabashed, operatic line delivery. The performance reveals that Electra has no intention of attempting to contain her emotions, which exacerbates her conflict with Clytemnestra. Siddarth Anand lets Orestes alternate between reserve and abrupt expression of emotion. As with Clytemnestra, Orestes’ experiences have defined him; though like Iphigenia, he attempts to move past them. The cast is ably rounded out by Katharine Matthias as the long-suffering, comparatively placid Chrysothemis; and by the members of a dispassionate chorus: Amy Abdalla and Camellia Moors. n addition to her work as a playwright, McLaughlin is a performer — she originated the role of the Angel in Angels in America — and in Iphigenia and Other Daughters she has given actors a series of poetic monologues with ample scope for nuance. The Theatre Intime ensemble, under Vasen’s skillful direction, delivers layered performances. Masks of stoicism are punctured by raw emotion, as archetypes evolve into human characters. —Donald H. Sanborn III

The Girl in the Spider’s Web

Claire Foy Shows Her Versatility in Reboot of Swedish Suspense Franchise

he late Stieg Larsson (1954-2004) is best remembered as the author of the Millennium trilogy of posthumouslypublished best-sellers, all of which were eventually made into feature films (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest). His Swedish-language psychological thrillers revolved around a crime-fighting duo composed of veteran journalist Mikael Blomkvist and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander. In 2015, David Lagercrantz wrote the fourth installment in the series, originally published as What Doesn’t Kill You, which was lauded as a faithful extension of the famed franchise. That book has now been adapted to the big screen as The Girl in the Spider’s Web. Directed by Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe), the film co-stars Claire Foy as Lisbeth and Sverrir Gudnason as Mikael. Foy won an Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, and she’s recently been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for her criticallyacclaimed portrayal of astronaut Neil Armstrong’s stoic wife, Janet, in First Man. Here, the versatile thespian exhibits an impressive acting range in a demanding role where she plays a traumatized incest survivor turned righteous vigilante. This incarnation of Lisbeth is not only a brainy IT expert, but also a seemingly invincible heroine with an extraordinary set of fighting, driving, and survival skills.

As the film unfolds, we find Lisbeth and her sister Camilla (Sylvia Hoeks) being molested by their father as children. The former makes a daring escape from their snow-capped mountaintop home, saving herself, but leaving her little sister behind. Fast-forward to present-day Stockholm, where vengeful Lisbeth is in the midst of unleashing a string of sadistic vigilante attacks against some of the city’s worst misogynists. However, the plot makes a sharp turn into world politics when she and sidekick Mikael are recruited to disable a dangerous computer program developed by America’s National Security Agency that’s capable of sabotaging other countries’ nuclear defense systems. What ensues is a grisly game of cat-and-mouse played by spies equipped with state-of-the-art gadgetry. As the body count escalates, the relentless bloodletting is presented in such a stylized fashion that it’s never really upsetting until the humdinger of a reveal during the dramatic denouement. Kudos to Claire Foy for convincingly reimagining Lisbeth Salander as a cartoonish, feminist superhero on the order of Wonder Woman. Excellent (H H H H). Rated R for violence, profanity, sexuality, and nudity. Running time: 117 minutes.

Princeton Football Overruns Yale in 59-43 Victory, Improving to 9-0, Clinching Share of Ivy Crown

Bob Surace sensed that there could be some offensive fireworks as the Princeton University football team played at Yale last Saturday afternoon. “On a tough surface, it does favor the offenses in a lot of ways because you know where you are going with the ball with the change of direction,” said Surace, in assessing the muddy surface at the Yale Bowl. “It is so much easier for an offensive player because you know which way you are going. I thought that if we executed we would be able to do a pretty decent job offensively.” Princeton ended up doing a very good job offensively, exploding for 489 yards rushing as it defeated Yale 59-43 before 12,882 at the Yale Bowl in a three hour, 41 minute marathon. The Tigers, who improved to 9-0 overall and 6-0 Ivy, clinched at least a share of the Ivy crown, the 12th in program history, and earned the traditional bonfire on campus that comes with a sweep of Harvard and Yale in the same season. Sophomore running back Collin Eaddy for the Tigers started on the right foot, racing 75 yards for a touchdown on Princeton’s first play from scrimmage on his

way to a career-best 266 yard performance. “He has battled some injury this year; in the Dartmouth game, he had his explosiveness back and had a great week of practice coming into Saturday,” said Surace. “I told my son A.J. the night before the game, Collin is going to have 150 yards. I told Collin that in pregame and he smiled. He has that 75-yard run and he was halfway there. He said I have got more.” Junior running back Ryan Quigley and senior quarterback John Lovett added to the running game, rushing for 113 and 111 yards, respectively. They really ran hard and we blocked really well,” said Surace. “They really finished; there were some exceptional runs. Even Jesper’s touchdown [a 52yard play late in the second quarter] where he caught the ball. Typically, he has a defender that was going to hit him after two steps and he just kept going and ran the guy over and scored.” The Princeton defenders, though, got hit through the air as Yale freshman quarterback Griffin O’Connor passed for 495 yards, breaking the school’s single-game passing yards mark in the

process. “We have got to really work on that; their receivers were terrific,” said Surace. “The Harvard game [a 2921 win on October 20] was very similar where we had chances to make the game less exciting and we didn’t do it. We have got to really work to fix that; credit them, some of the catches they made were spectacular. They were really competing for the ball.” Senior linebacker Mark Fossati made one of the most important catches of the day for Princeton, coming up with an interception in the waning moments of the contest as the Tigers snuffed out the Yale rally. “He had a great drop and read on the ball,” said Surace. “It literally looked like a Jesper catch, where he toe-tapped the sidelines as he caught it.” It was great for Princeton to clinch a share of the league title. “You realize how hard it is to win this league; Princeton has only done it 12 times in the 60 plus years of the league,” said Surace. “It is awesome. We got on the bus and we were happy and the we are going to have to dial it back up again when we get to practice.” If Princeton can dial up a win against visiting Penn in

its season finale on November 17, it will not only win the outright Ivy title but post the program’s first perfect campaign since the 1964 team went 9-0 “The guys are very mature about it, they understand it is another rivalry game this week against another terrific physical Penn team,” said Surace. “It hasn’t happened very often. We understand the responsibilities and we have to go out and do our best.” In order to beat the Quakers (6-3 overall, 3-3 Ivy), the Tigers will need one of the best efforts of the season. “They have aways had a terrific run game, their running back (Karekin Brooks) has been in the top of the league rushing in the last two years,” said Surace. “We have struggled to stop him and we did not stop him last year. They present a lot of challenges on defense, they get after the quarterback. They always have big, long defensive linemen and athletic linebackers. We are going to have to do a great job if we are going to have success running the ball.” In the view of Surace, Princeton will be successful if it maintains its intensity level in practice and attention to detail. “Every game is important; our first full pads practice every week is Tuesday and our guys come out for that and the enthusiasm and en-

ergy is off the charts and it has been that way for nine weeks,” said Surace. “I hope that with the leaders we have, for the 10th Tuesday, they will come out with great energy and excitement, understanding that the margin for error is

really close. With the top five teams in the league, it has been close games for the most part. If we are going to win a close game, we have to be detailed.” —Bill Alden

With the Princeton University field hockey team trailing visiting Harvard 1-0 in the NCAA quarterfinals with 11:34 remaining in the second half, Julianna Tornetta was on the spot, literally. Lining up a penalty stroke in a one-on-one confrontation seven yards in front of Harvard goalie Ellie Shahbo, Princeton sophomore star midfielder Tornetta had the chance to even up the tense contest with one swing of her stick. “It is definitely very nervew rack ing when you are down 1-0; I have been in that position where I have taken a stroke and not made it,” said Tornetta. “You have to clear your head and just say OK, if it doesn’t go in we are still going to play hard and come back from behind. It did go in so that was a pleasant surprise.” Just over six minutes later, Tornetta helped another ball go in for the Tigers, making a deft no-look pass to assist on a goal by Maddie Bacskai off of a penalty corner to give Princeton a 2-1 lead. “That is something that we practiced a lot,” said Tornetta. “Maddie and I have been playing together for a long time. We have a connection which makes the corner a lot better.” Princeton held things together, going on to a 2-1 win over the Crimson, who had defeated the Tigers 3-1 in a regular season contest on October 20. The third-seeded Tigers, now 15-4, will face secondseeded Maryland (21-2) on November 16 in the national

semis in Louisville, Ky. with the winner advancing to the title game on November 18 against the victor of the other semi between North Carolina and Wake Forest. It marks the eighth trip to the Final 4 in program history for Princeton. Even though the Tigers surrendered a goal early in the second half after the rivals battled to a scoreless stalemate in the first half, Tornetta and her teammates weren’t fazed. “We felt really connected and really strong,” said Tornetta. “They had a really good shot on goal so credit to them but we all still felt real good. It wasn’t hopeless that we can come back.” In Tornetta’s view, Princeton’s special team chemistry helped it overcome a Harvard team that came into the day riding a 14-game winning streak. “We are really close; we don’t play to try to be the best player on the field or get the goal,” said Tornetta. “We play for each other and because we play for each other and fight for each other, it just really brings us together. We can’t lose that way.” Tornetta’s bond with older sister, senior star striker Sophia, brings that closeness to a higher level. “When I say we are playing for each other, that has an entirely different meaning with her,” said Tornetta with her eyes misting up. “This being her senior year and her last game on the turf here, I want this to be her absolute best season ever. I want this to be my

STICKING WITH IT: Princeton University field hockey player Julianna Tornetta gets ready to strike the ball in NCAA tournament action last weekend. On Sunday, sophomore star Tornetta scored a goal and added an assist as Princeton rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Harvard 2-1 in the NCAA quarters. The third-seeded Tigers, now 15-4, will face second-seeded Maryland (21-2) on November 16 in the national semis in Louisville, Ky. with the winner advancing to the title game on November 18. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

best season with her because this is it.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Carla Tagliente believed her players would keep playing for each other in the face of the 1-0 deficit. “All the family and friends this week kept saying whoever scores first is going to win,” said Tagliente. “As soon as they scored, I am thinking just knock that out of your head. I felt like we were doing well enough and that if we could get one, we could get a quick two and we did.” Tagliente tipped her hat to her sophomore star Tornetta. “Julianna did great; when you look at who she is matched up against, No. 10 [Bente van Vlijmen] is a very substantial player for them,” said Tagliente. “She is very dangerous and physical ; when she gets inside the 25, she can laser balls in there. Julianna doesn’t play really long, she plays tight. It is a hard game for her because she has got to move more. She did a great job and she kept going at it.” In Tagliente’s view, her team’s depth and spirit make it dangerous. “They just have big hearts and they are good players; this is the best team Princeton has put on the field since that national championship team [in 2012] from top to bottom,” said Tagliente. “They have character. We have great players but it is not about one person. Our strength is that it is a collective effort. It is hard to defend; you have different people stepping up all the time.” As they went into the rematch against Harvard, the Tigers were simply looking to get more time together as a group. “The message for them yesterday was don’t focus on the Final 4, don’t focus on winning,” recalled Tagliente. “Focus on playing together and extending the season. They have come a long way and they are a close group and that is really what it is about.” Getting a rematch against powerhouse Maryland in the national semis, who edged the Tigers 5-4 on September 18 in a regular season meeting, Tagliente believes that Princeton can extend its season. “There will be an intent and focus on who we are playing but for us it will going back and seeing where we need to improve,” said Tagliente, who guided the Tigers to the NCAA semis in 2016 where they lost 3-2 to eventual national champion Delaware. “We will be looking at their set pieces and where can we expose them a little bit, but it is really reining in the enthusiasm and trying to rechannel it forward.” Tornetta, for her par t, is enthusiastic about the chance to play in her first Final 4. “I have heard absolutely incredible things about it so I am really excited,” said Tornetta. “I think we are going to do well because we are going to work hard together. We worked hard to get there and our hard work is paying off.” —Bill Alden

Junior Star Bacskai Comes Through in Clutch, Helping PU Field Hockey Make NCAA Semis Maddie Bacskai knew from personal experience that the Princeton University field hockey team was in for a battle when it hosted Virginia in the first round of the NCAA tournament last Friday. “We have played them in the tournament every year I have been here,” said junior defender Bacskai, who helped Pr inceton prevail in both of those previous matchups as the Tigers won 3-2 in 2016 and 3-2 in double overtime last year. “It was fun to see that we would playing them again; there is a little bit of history between the two of us.” The rivals lived up to that history of close contests in round three as the game was knotted 1-1 at half. “Both teams came out with a lot of energy,” said Bacskai. “In the first half, we did decently but we weren’t getting the results we wanted. We just said keep our heads down, keep doing the work, and hopefully the results will come.” With 24:03 left in the second half, Bacskai helped get Princeton the result it wanted, scoring off a sweet feed from Julianna Tornetta on a penalty corner. “Julianna set it up perfectly for me,” said Bacskai. “I was hoping to go near side and I was able to get it in there so it was really exciting. It did feel like a good hit. We were practicing it a lot this week and I was glad that I was able to pull through and make it happen.” With the Tiger defense holding the fort the rest of

the way, Princeton pulled through for a 2-1 victory. “The defensive effort all over the field was really what gave us the momentum and kept us on the attack in the second half,” said the 5’5 Bacskai, a native of Berwyn, Pa. who is a three-time firstteam All-Ivy league selection and was the league’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. “Everyone was tackling back, trying to put pressure on and stepping in front of their marks. That really gave us the edge.”

Playing before a raucous home crowd also helped give Princeton an edge. “It is super exciting to have such a big fan base; some of the students and some of our friends are here and, of course, our parents,” said Bacskai, who provided another exciting moment against Harvard in the NCAA quarters on Sunday, tallying the winning goal in a 2-1 come-from-behind victory as Princeton improved to 15-4 and punched its ticket to the NCAA Final 4. “It is fun hearing the cheering and all of the excitement from the stands.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Men’s Soccer Overcomes Adversity; Wins Ivy Crown, To Play at Michigan in NCAAs Jacob S chach ner w as warming up to play at Yale last Saturday when he saw the rest of the Princeton University men’s soccer team suddenly sprinting toward the locker room. The junior goalie knew immediately that the Tigers could celebrate an Ivy League championship early, even before they took on Yale, thanks to Cornell’s 2-1 overtime win that eliminated conference runner-up Columbia from title contention. “I knew that Cornell had somehow beat Columbia, they’re two great teams,” said Schachner. “It was an unreal moment. It seemed like time slowed down.” Princeton head coach Jim Barlow had discouraged his team from watching the Cornell-Columbia game before their own. The Tigers staff had been worried it would be too mentally draining to follow the highs and lows of the

game, and only Barlow and a few injured players were watching when Cornell won the game. “When Cornell scored, we dropped our computers and phones and sprinted out of the locker room with our arms up in the air,” recalled Barlow. “Our guys were warming up for the game and they realized what had happened and they just went bananas. It was crazy celebration. Yale hadn’t even taken the field yet. There were no people in the stands and our team was just going bonkers.” Princeton’s game strategy changed after knowing they’d sealed the Ivy championship, and they went on to lose their only Ivy game of the season, 1-0, to Yale to move to 10-5-2 overall, 5-1-1 in Ivy play, but nothing could diminish their moment. “The thing that stands out

about this one compared to other times is just how many things this group had to deal with throughout the year,” asserted Barlow. “We started off poorly, we had a ton of injuries, we lost our home field, and our backs were against the wall for a pretty long time this year.” The Ivy title is Princeton’s fifth under Barlow, who is in his 23rd season at the helm. It is the program’s third crown since 2010, and all nine classes since then have won one Ivy championship, the only Ivy team that can say so. “That’s not something we’ve talked about or know about, but it’s great to hear that,” Barlow said. “It’s just trying every year to keep the team focused on what they can do now to improve and to compete for a title. Now that we’ve done it, we’re trying to turn all our focus to seeing if we can advance as far as we can.” The Ivy League championship gives Princeton the automatic berth into the NCAA tournament. The Tigers will play at Michigan (12-5-2 overall) in a first round contest on November 15. The winner of that game faces seventh-seeded Notre Dame on Sunday. “I think we play our best soccer against the bigger teams,” said Schachner. “I’m really excited to see what our team can bring, not only to stop their incredible offense but try to play our game on their field. I know the conditions won’t be what we’re

used to, but I think we’ll have the ability to overcome it and live up to the level of the big-game atmosphere.” While cold rain is predicted for the NCAA first round game in Ann Arbor, Mich., Princeton is just thrilled to have the opportunity to play after an up and down season. The Tigers started the year 1-3 and poor field conditions forced them to move their home venue to Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium. Injuries further complicated their continuity and Ivy chase, and Princeton had to rally from a 2-0 deficit to force a 2-2 tie with defending Ivy champion Dartmouth in their Ivy opener. They reeled off five straight Ivy wins to put themselves in position for the title going into the final game. “The beginning of the year when we put together keys for the team, we emphasized that no one on the team has a ring to give ourselves a little extra motivation,” said Schachner. “Now that we’re here, all the hard work we put in, injuries, not having home field, all the obstacles thrown at us, I’m so proud of our team for being able to overcome those. It feels awesome.” Schachner is part of a defense that delivered all year. Princeton allowed only 11 goals all season with a defense that featured Richard Wolf and Ben Issroff at center back, but also used two freshmen, Alex Charles and Ben Bograd, early at center back due to injuries. Bobby Hickson on the right and Cole Morokhovich on the left rounded out the back four. “On the defensive front,

we have four ret ur ning starters from last year,” said Schachner. “The group was already close to begin with. Even when one of our starting center backs went down, we had a guy fit right in. The chemistry was good. The guys were competing for the guys next to them. Our goal was to give up as few goals as possible this year and I think we did a good job.” In his second year as the full-time starter, Schachner had a 0.71 goals against average and saved 77 percent of the shots he saw for a total of 132 saves. He prevented three penalty kicks himself. “It’s a lot of work that goes in behind the scenes,” said Schachner. “A lot of scouting from Steve Totten [associate head coach], who helps me perform best for the situation. Schachner credits his play this year to the experience gained over the previous two seasons. The Waxhaw, N.C. product was an honorable mention All-Ivy selection last year. “The position is a position where experience can definitely help,” noted Schachner. “The extra help of getting adapted to the college game has calmed me. A lot of college goalkeepers won’t play until their junior or senior year. The experience I gained freshman and sophomore year helped me prepare for the season.” Princeton had experience all over the field and their veterans gave them confidence from the preseason. “Getting a lot of guys back, I think we returned eight or seven out of 11, that’s something we felt good about coming back,” Schachner said. “Then the freshmen had shown they’d be big contributors and made guys in starting roles be better. Training sessions were

incredible, guys were pushing each other. That type of atmosphere makes a great team.” Their experience was important after a slow start. Princeton played with an urgency that could have worn down a younger team. They knew they couldn’t lose and expect to make the NCAA tournament. “Everyone on our team knows when we play our best soccer, no team can compete with us,” added Schachner. “Up until Yale, we played our best soccer in every game. Because of that, a lot of guys had confidence if we just did our job, the results would come our way. Playing with our backs against the wall, a lot of guys used it for motivation. It helped us go through all our games after Dartmouth without losing.” They had contributions from everyone. Sean McGowan provided a goal off the bench to get Princeton going against Dartmouth. Will Lentz did the same against Penn. “They did a really good job of knowing that there was a ton on the line in every game but being able to step on the field and being into it and being in the moment and not worrying about what’s going to happen if we don’t win,” Barlow said. “I think our ability to do that this year was really good.” Princeton will try to extend its season as underdogs in the NCAA tournament. The Tigers haven’t won an NCAA game since 1993. “I think it just gives our team more motivation to just prove people wrong,” said Schachner. “It’s been our goal the whole year to prove that this team is special. We’re hoping we can do that by winning games in the tournament.” —Justin Feil

Josh Teves gave his parents a big hug during the pregame ceremony honoring the seniors before the Princeton University men’s hockey team took the ice to host Rensselaer last Saturday evening. Minutes later, Princeton senior defensemen and team captain Teves was accepting hugs from his teammates, assisting on the first goal of the game and then scoring the second as the Tigers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on the way to a 4-1 victory. In reflecting on the evening, Teves said the Tigers brought extra emotion to the ice. “It is great to have all of the parents here; a lot of us are from pretty far away so they don’t get to make it out too often,” said the 6’0, 180-pound Teves, a native of Calgary, Alberta. “It is extra special to have a night like that where all six seniors dress and all of us are contributing.” Princeton has come come far over the last few years, going from the bot tom of ECAC Hockey to first place, improving to 3-1-1 overall and 3-0-1 ECACH to take the top spot in the league standings, one point ahead of Dartmouth (3-2 overall, 3-2 ECACH). “We hold ourselves to a really high standard and I think even a game like tonight, there are a lot of things we can improve on and do better,” said Teves. “Overall this is the best start we have had in my four years and the quickest we have had in program history taking over first place in the ECAC.” In getting off to a quick start on Friday, the Tigers displayed the special teams excellence. “Our power play has definitely been buzzing so far and we were moving it around,” said Teves. “I passed it dow n to Jackson [Cressey] and he put it into the net. He got a pretty good bounce there. I think that is a testament of our team right now. We are just making chances, and when you string enough good things together, good things happen.” On his goal, Teves took advantage of a chance in the crease area. “We were on a 4-on-3, we did a bit of switch,” said Teves. “Ku f f [ Rya n Ku f f ner ] came around; he took a shot and it was kind of bouncing over the top of the goalie so I just crashed the net. I got it stopping into the net, I will take it.” Fellow senior Kuffner and his line of Max Veronneau and Alex Riche took over after that, combining for the next two goals as the Tigers stretched their lead to 4-0 before the Engineers got a goal with less than five minutes left in the third period. “Ryan has to be the top scorer in 2018 with this kind of start and coming off last year,” said Teves of Kuffner, who had two goals and two assists in the win and was later named the ECACH Offensive Payer of the Week. “He is a special player

and he is the kind of guy who makes my job easy; it is just get him the puck. They are a special line; it has been a lot of fun over the past couple of years playing with them. Obviously Max and Ryan have a lot of chemistry from growing up together in Ottawa; Alex has fit right in. They kind of see the game a little differently and know where they are quicker than most guys will.” With the Tigers featuring several young defensemen, Teves was happy to see that unit look sharp against the Engineers. “We have six underclassmen that have been cycling through the lineup,” said Teves. “I think it is showing that they are getting their feet under them and playing with confidence, that is a great showing for our defensive. We can be proud of that effort but there are definitely a lot of improvements to be made, that is something we take a lot of pride in. As offensive as we are as a team, we want to be solid defensively.” Teves takes pride in being a leader for the program, having been elevated to captain this winter. “It is a huge role, for sure; you have to play a bit of a mentorship role with three freshmen and three sophomores,” said Teves. “It is just talking with them and building their chemistry and communication. With the older guys, if they have questions or anything they need from us, we are willing to help.” With the Tigers having won the ECACH tournament last season before falling to Ohio State in the NCAA tourney, Teves believes the team has picked up where it left off. “I think the coaching staff has been pushing us,” said Teves. “As we came into the season, our starting point where we ended up last year is our expectation and the game we want to play. I think that is showing in our start.” Princeton head coach

Ron Fogarty likes the way his players have built on last winter’s success. “That has been our consistent message after each year to build upon our last game from last season and how we have got to get better to move for ward beyond that game,” said Fogarty. “We are doing things better now earlier; this is our best start, it is our fastest start in the ECAC in program history with a 3-0-1 record. Where we are right now is exactly what our goal was.” With the Tigers edging Union 4-3 in overtime on Friday, things were very good around Hobey Baker Rink last weekend. “Our alums are here and it is senior weekend,” said Fogarty. “It was very good. I thought our neutral zone was good and our transition play was good. It is the closest to a complete game we have had this season so far.” The play of Princeton’s top line of Kuffner, Veronneau, and Riche sets the team apart. “That line is a special group; in 23 years as an assistant coach or coaching against other teams, I have never seen how seamlessly they know each other and their tendencies on the ice,” said Fogarty. “All three of them work so hard. They are a very driven group and we are very fortunate to have them for this year.” Fogarty knows he is fortunate to have Teves leading his defensive unit. “He is a leader; he is going to have a great career after Princeton,” said Fogarty of Teves who led the nation’s defensemen in scoring (1.06 points per game) last season. “He has developed as an elite defenseman in his time here at Princeton through his own doing. He is an asset on the defense and also an asset offensively as well.” The program’s development into a powerhouse is a source of pride to

With Senior Star Teves Leading from the Blue Line, Tiger Men’s Hockey Produces Sizzling 3-1-1 Start

QUICK START: Princeton University men’s hockey player Josh Teves heads up the ice in recent action. Last Saturday against visiting Rensselaer, senior defenseman and team captain Teves contributed a goal and an assist as No. 19 Princeton skated to a 4-1 win over the Engineers. The Tigers, now 3-1-1 overall and 3-0-1 ECAC Hockey, have risen to the top of the league standings and will look to keep on the winning track when they play at Colgate on November 16 and at Cornell on November 17. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Fogarty. “It has been a long four years traveling to get to where we are right now; you learn through your times that no matter how you win, you enjoy the win,” said Fogarty, whose team is currently ranked 15th nationally in the USCHO poll. “You enjoy where you are at that present moment because in our business, it is wins and losses that determine how you are as a coach.” With Princeton heading north this weekend to play at Colgate on November 16 at No. 17 Cornell a day later, Fogarty knows that his team will have to work hard to keep on the winning track. “It will be a tough weekend ; it is t wo different styles and two different buildings,” said Fogarty. “We have to work on some stuff to get prepped to play two different styles of games on the road.”

Teves, for his part, is confident that Princeton’s high octane style of play will make the difference. “Both teams are a good test; we are mostly just focusing on our game and things we need to improve

Working Overtime to Develop his Offensive Skills, Stephens Hits 1,000-Point Mark for PU Men’s Hoops Myles Stephens was basically a defensive specialist in his freshmen campaign for the Princeton University men’s basketball team in 2015-16. Coming off the bench that winter, Stephens, a Lawrenceville native who starred for the Pennington School, averaged 5.4 points a game. At the point, it didn’t appear that Stephens was a likely candidate to land in the program’s pantheon of 1,000-point scorers. “Coming in freshman year, I played about 10 minutes a game,” said Stephens. “You wouldn’t think that would happen.” But putting in extra work to hone his offensive game, Stephens developed into a dangerous scorer for the Tigers, averaging 12.5 points a game as a sophomore and 15.3 points last winter. Last Friday against visiting DeSales University in the season opener, Stephens hit the 1,000-point milestone, draining a three -pointer with 7:08 remaining in the second half as the Tigers rolled to an 85-51 win over the Bulldogs before 1,523 at Jadwin Gym. Knowing that he came into the evening needing 21 points to reach 1,000, Stephens had the milestone on his on his mind. “As I became a junior and a senior, it got closer and it became a thing,” said Stephens, a 6’5, 210-pound g u ard w ho is t h e 35t h member of the program’s 1,000-point club. “Devin [Cannady] got his and he was kind of chirping me up all week about it, so I was thinking about it.” After being subbed out of the game midway through the second half as the Tigers pulled away from the Bulldogs, it looked like history may have to wait. “I was at 15 points and then he [coach Mitch Henderson] asked me if I wanted to go back in and I said yeah, let me go, I will give you two minutes,” recalled Stephens. “They were looking for me a lot; it was worth it to get it.” In reflecting on the achievement, Stephens spread the credit around. “It is definitely special four years; it is a long journey,” said Stephens. “I have got to give thanks to my teammates, coach, friends, and family who came out to see me play. It is putting in work for four years; it is finally paying off.” Stephens’ local ties made the moment even more special for him. “I have got a lot of friends and family here for that reason,” said Stephens. “It is a nice little milestone to check off your list before you a leave a place like this.” Princeton’s nice start on Friday was heartening to Stephens since the team was shorthanded without the services of senior star Cannady and highly touted freshman guard Jaelin Llewellyn, who were both sidelined due to leg injuries. “We started two freshmen and a sophomore tonight and Devin is not out there,” said Stephens. “It is showing those guys the way and how hard it is to win defensively

and offensively.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Mitch Henderson lauded Stephens for his skill and character. “He made h is 10 0 0 t h point on a three; I don’t know how many he had his freshman year,” said Hender s on. “Ever y t h i ng we have asked him to do, he has done it. He is the lone minutes returner the last couple of weeks since Devin has been out. He has been asked to do so many things in terms of leadership and with everything he has been ‘yes, I will do that.’ I can’t say enough about him.” Henderson was happy to see the Tigers get it done on opening night as the program showed off a renovated Jadwin with a new four-sided video board hanging over the court and a revamped seating configuration. “It was good to put the uniform on, the improvements in Jadwin made a really big impact, a lot of work went into this,” said Henderson, crediting athletic director Mollie Marcoux Samaan and her staff with doing yeoman’s work to get the gym ready. “To be able to get a win and get Myles his 1,000th point and got our season started off in the right way, We really needed this.” The squad’s freshmen got off to a good start as new-

comer Drew Friberg scored 13 points with classmates Ethan Wright contributed nine points and seven reb ou nds a nd Ma x Joh ns chipped in five points and four rebounds. “Drew made his first college 3-pointer and I think he may have made his second shot so that is important,” said Henderson. “We are asking Ethan to do things he wasn’t brought here to do, which is carry the team, get us started, and get the offense going.” In Henderson’s view, the Tigers can build on their positive start as the play at Lehigh on November 16. “It is the referees, the fans, putting on the uniforms; you don’t get anything like it unless you play an exhibition game,” said Henderson. “Then you watch it and you get an opportunity to put it to bed and move on. It is the ritual of it, that is as important as anything else.” Stephens, for his part, is ready to move on to the matchup with the Mountain Hawks. “The big thing is that it is out of the way; I got the 1,000 and now we are looking forward to Lehigh,” said Stephens. “We were eager to get going. It is nice to have a win under our belt going into this Lehigh game.” —Bill Alden

Earning Wild Card Spot for Meet of Champions, PHS Boys’ Cross Country Aiming for Big Finish Jackson McCarthy didn’t have his greatest day as the Princeton High boys’ cross country team competed in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional meet earlier this month. Senior McCarthy placed 12th overall as the team’s third finisher, helping PHS take second in the team standings. Last Saturday in the state Group 4 meet at Holmdel Park, McCarthy produced his best day of the season, finishing sixth overall, covering the 5,000-meter course in a time of 16:29 to lead the way for the Little Tigers. McCarthy’s heroics helped PHS take fifth place in the team standings as senior Acasio Pinhiero finished eighth in 16:36 and senior Tucker Zullo came in 27th at 16:57. “Jackson ran lights out; the week before he made some tactical errors early and worked really hard to get back in the race,” said PHS head coach Jim Smirk, whose team was later added to the upcoming Meet of Champions (MOC) as a wildcard pick. “I think more than anything, he just cleaned that up, He had more confidence in his ability to stay with the race late. That is how he raced and it paid off.

It is pretty impressive for a guy who a lot of people think is an 800 specialist.” Smirk, for his part, wasn’t surprised that McCarthy came up big last Saturday. “I think that is true of that crew, at any given day these guys are all capable of a good race,” said Smirk. “Acasio did that at sectionals and Tucker has done that probably half a dozen times this season where he just runs away from the rest of the race. That is one of the advantages of having that veteran crew that has come up through a pretty successful number of years that they have been on the team. They have that confidence to take that shot when they are ready.” Pinheiro and Zullo drew on their experience as they gritted things out at the Group meet. “Acasio wasn’t feeling great at the beginning of the week; he did the work he needed to do to make sure that he advanced,” said Smirk. “Tucker had a little bit of a tough day. He went out aggressively; he just needs to take a deep breath and realize that he is good enough to take an attack late. There was a late

attack in the race and it just snuck up on him a little bit. He wasn’t quite ready to respond to it, he fought his way through it.” Further back in the pack, junior Tyler Fu and sophomore Jacob Bornstein fought hard as they placed 49th and 93rd, respectively. “Tyler Fu had a really nice day; he was on the correct side of the break and he picked up a lot of places within the last mile of the race,” said Smirk of Fu who clocked a time of 17:15 with Bornstein coming in at 17:49. “That kept us involved and gave us an opportunity foe this wild card. Jacob did what he always does, which is make sure that he hangs in and close the door for us. It is great; he is the perfect fifth man. He never panics; he just keeps doing good work. I think our estimate was that he picked up 18 places in the last mile and a quarter so that was a really great end to the race.” PHS will be looking to end things on a high note at the MOC this Saturday at Holmdel Park. “For Tucker, Acasio, and Jackson, it is more of the same; it is this idea of let’s see how small that gap can be and how far up the race we can be,” said Smirk. “I think Acasio and Tucker are both capable of better races than they had on Saturday. In talking with them, they are both excited to have that opportunity so we want to see them do that. They have worked hard their entire careers to be in this moment. We want them to find success there. For Tyler and Jacob, I think the big here is what can we learn and what can we build.” —Bill Alden

Emerging as 4-Time MCT Boys’ Tennis Champion, Hoeland Entering PHS Athletics Hall of Fame As a grade schooler growing up in Princeton, Chris Hoeland’s main athletic interests centered on baseball and basketball. By the time he entered Princeton High in 2001, though, Hoeland had turned his focus to tennis. “It was mainly basketball and baseball for a long time,” said Hoeland. “I got into tennis, I enjoyed it. No matter what happens, you are involved in some kind of action and it is all on me. I started playing tournaments when I was 12.” As he star ted his high s ch o ol c are e r, H o ela n d didn’t harbor any grand ambitions of success on the court. “ I d i d n’t r e a l l y h a v e any specific goals,” said Hoeland. “I knew some players on the team from growing up in the area and other sports as well.” Hoeland grew up quickly, winning the title in third singles at the Mercer County Tournament in his debut campaign. “It was certainly special,” said Hoeland, reflecting on win the title as a freshman. “As a freshman, you don’t quite know what is going on.” Going on to have a special career for PHS, Hoeland ended up taking four MCT individual titles, winning third singles as a sophomore, second as a junior, and first as a senior. He also helped the Little Tigers to the state Group 3 title in 2002. This Saturday, Hoeland will be inducted in the 13th class of honorees of the PHS Athletics Hall of Fame in a dinner at Mercer Oaks Country Club in West Windsor. Joining Hoeland in the

class will be athletes - Chris Cahill ’78 (lacrosse, football), Sue Lofgren ’85 (diving, field hockey. lacrosse), Kesti Ringland ’90 (track), Libby Bliss ’07 (track, cross country); a team - boys’ golf 2005-08; and a contributor - Bob Nuse, the longtime sports editor of the Princeton Packet. While he is proud of his individual success at PHS, which included a 100-9 career singles record, it is the bonds with his teammates that have left indelible memories for Hoeland. “It is just the friends I have made over the years and getting the exposure to the team atmosphere even though it was an individual sport,” said Hoeland, noting that he is still close to fellow PHS star and Hall of Famer Ilia Shatashvili ’08. “The team aspect of it really got me excited about college tennis.” A f ter g raduat ing f rom PHS, Hoeland headed to Washington University in St. Louis where he enjoyed a stellar career. He helped the program win the 2008 NCAA Division III national title in his junior season and was a three-time All-American in doubles. “I came into the program with five other freshmen and we had some very good seniors,” said Hoeland, a 2009 WashU graduate. “We had good leadership. When we came in, we had a good team but we weren’t quite there. We made the NCA A tournament freshman year but I didn’t even know if we won a round. It was a cool buildup between freshman and junior year for the team to go from being a good team, but not necessarily any major presence on the national scene to being one of the teams in the mix at the end of the year. We

were seeded sixth, and we ended up winning.” His success in doubles at the college level came naturally to Hoeland. “I was a server and volleyer; that always translated well to doubles,” said Hoeland. “If you can control the net, that gives you a big advantage. I played for three years with the same doubles partner, my friend Charlie Cutler. You know what to expect from your partner and exactly where you need to be.” Since college, Hoeland, now 32, has stayed in the game, working as an assistant coach for the Princeton University men’s tennis team for three years, serving as a program manager for the National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) of Trenton and is now working as a sports marketing manger for tennis equipment company Babolat in the Denver area. “I have been very lucky to know a lot of people who I have been able to potentially get jobs through,” said Hoeland, who oversees U.S. junior competitions for Babolat. “It is also that I love tennis. I have seen the sport through a lot of different lenses - playing, coaching, working in NJTL, a nonprofit, and now I am on the business side. It has been pretty interesting.” For Hoeland, getting the call to the PHS Hall of Fame brought to mind all the different people who fostered his love affair with tennis. “I didn’t have any expectation at all but it is certainly awesome to be recognized,” said Hoeland, reflecting on getting the HOF honor. “I don’t live for any public recognition. I am just going to be thanking all of the people that allowed me to be recognized. I would say everyone there played a part in my success at PHS.” —Bill Alden

NET GAIN: Chris Hoeland hits a forehand during his career with the Princeton High boys’ tennis team. Hoeland, a 2005 PHS, grad won four Mercer County Tournament singles titles for the Little Tigers and helped the team win the state Group 3 title in 2002. Hoeland went on to the Washington University in St. Louis where helped the program win the 2008 NCAA Division III national title and earned All-American accolades in doubles. This Saturday, Hoeland is being inducted into the 13th class of honorees for the PHS Athletics Hall of Fame.

Obituaries

Kathleen Nelles McClure Kathleen Nelles McClure, 87, died on October 26th, 2018 in Portland, Maine. She had been a resident at Piper Shores in Scarborough, Maine since 2006. Kay, as she was known, grew up in Rockville Center, NY, the only daughter of Roy and Kathleen Nelles, and the sister to three brothers, Roy, Barry, and Peter. A self-proclaimed “tomboy,” she was always picked first for any team game in school or the neighborhood. She graduated from Connecticut College in 1952. It was there that she met her future husband, Doug McClure, a Yale student, on a blind date. They proceeded to spend the next 54 years together, continuously moving westward as their lives took them from Pomfret, Connecticut to Congers, New York to Princeton, New Jersey to Sewickley, Pennsylvania and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Eventually they returned east and retired to Maine, a state dear to both their hearts and which they had come back to ever y year after spending a summer studying the Russian language at Colby College in 1962. Kay was a true “Renaissance woman,” who was equally adept using a lathe as she was with a needle. She was an avid miniaturist, expert cruciverbalist, and a “hostess with the mostess.” She loved gardens, travel-

ing, mysteries, and artists of all types. Over the years, Kay was involved in many organizations, including the Rome Yacht Club, of which she was the founding commodore, and the Manamore artists’ group of Minnesota. Kay is predeceased by her husband, brothers, and parents. She is sur vived by her sister-in-law Mary Lou Nelles; children Kathy Lowell, Ann Noel, Douglas McClure and Peter McClure and their spouses; as well as her eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, who all knew her affectionately as Meemah. Kay was a loving and creative soul, who was always ready for anything and happiest when she was with family and fr iends. She played by her own rules and lived a full life. A memorial service will be held in Princeton, New Jersey on December 8th, 2018. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to honor Kay with a donation to the Maine Community Foundation, Rome Scholarship Fund, 245 Main St. Ellsworth, Maine 04605. Arrangements entrusted to Hobbs Funeral Home, South Por tland ME. Online condolences may be expressed at www.hobbsfuneralhome.com.

Joseph Dresner, of Princeton, NJ, died on November 7, 2018. He was born in A nt wer p, B elgiu m in 1927. After serving in the U.S. A r my, he received B.S.E. and M.S. degrees in Engineering-Physics from the University of Michigan in 1949 and 1950, respectively, and a Ph.D. in Physics from New York University in 1958. From 1950 to 1954, he worked in medical physics, improving the use of high energy X-rays in cancer therapy. He joined RCA Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey in 1958, where he worked until retiring in 1995. His basic research involved almost every electronic property of vitreous and organic semiconductors, par ticularly in thin films. He was also active in device work in the areas of

solar energy, television displays, and thin film transistor circuits. Dr. Dresner was a fellow of the American Physical Society and the author of 44 scientific papers, and he was granted 10 U.S. patents. During the 1971-1972 academic year, he was Visiting Professor at the Institute for Physics and Chemistry in São Carlos, Brazil. He and his family came to have much love for the people of that country and made many long-lasting friendships there. He enjoyed a long marriage with his beloved wife, Esther, who predeceased him. He was a lover of music who tried to become learned in every aspect of world culture. He was proud of being literate in seven languages. He was a skilled and passionate sailor, often treating his friends to day cruises on his little sloop, “Fleurette.” In his later years, he developed a love of poetry, which gave him comfort after the loss of his wife, and he worked hard at crafting his own poems, over 100 of them. H e l e ave s b e h i n d h i s daughter, Lisa M. Dresner, and a large network of extended family and friends. Services were held Sunday, November 11, 2018 at The Jewish Center, Princeton, NJ, with burial in Princeton Cemetery. Donations in his memory to Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, 72 Escher St, Trenton, NJ 08609, are appreciated.

Rita Ludlum Rita Ludlum, a longtime resident of Princeton, passed away suddenly on November 4 at the age of 94 at her residence, Stonebridge at Montgomery. In addition to raising six children, Rita was a prolific community volunteer, most notably for The League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area, where she was an active member for over 50 years. Her league activities included serving as president in the early 1980s and as co-chair in 2008–2009. The organization created the Rita Ludlum Citizenship Award in her honor. She led the voter registration efforts for many years and until recently was active at the registration table at the farmer’s market in Skillman. Rita also ran the catechism program at St. Paul Parish, helped produce the curriculum for the Princeton Adult School, organized English classes for spouses of local graduate students, and assisted with the administration and awards for various scholarship funds, among numerous other activities. She was born and raised in Milford, Massachusetts, the second in the family of four daughters of Bernard and Catherine Byrne Manion. At age 8, she spent most of a year

in bed due to rheumatic fever and received the last rites of the Catholic Church before recovering. As an honor student at St. Mary’s High School, she won a local essay contest addressing “Duties and Privileges of Citizenship,” and in another one run by the Ancient Order of Hibernians was runner-up statewide and received honorable mention nationally. Upon graduating from Regis College in nearby Weston, Massachusetts, she taught high school English in a nearby town for two years. As she wrote in a short biographical sketch a few years ago, “Thinking life could be more interesting, I left for Boston. The Boston theater was the last stop before New York and the second balcony was affordable. I volunteered to teach English as a second language to the many refugees flooding the city.” In Boston she worked for the American Meteorological Society. She described her work there as chiefly “keeping track of members, helping them with any problems — being nice to members.” One of them was David Ludlum. “I guess I was nice to him,” she wrote, “because in less than a year, we were married and I was off to Philadelphia and New Jersey.” David and Rita lived in Holmdel, New Jersey for a few years before moving to Princeton in 1957 where they built a house in the newly developed Riverside area. There she continued raising her children and as their needs subsided, devoted increasing time to community service. David died in 1997 and Rita became one of the original residents of Stonebridge in 2005. She is survived by five children, the youngest, Kathy, having died from an automobile accident in 1980. They are Ken of Foster City, Calif.; David of Princeton; Peter of Mission Viejo, Calif.; Stephen of Brunswick, Maine; and Carol of Trappe, Pa. There are nine grandchildren; one surviving sister, Dorothy Saunders of Bowie, Maryland; and 12 nieces and nephews. Memorial services are to be held on November 24 at 11 a.m. at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Skillman, N.J. and January 12 at a time to be announced at Stonebridge. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Catholic Relief Services, 228 W. Lexington St., Baltimore, Maryland 21201-3443.

PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY FROM RADON Radon is a naturally occurring gas that has no color or odor. The EPA recommends that Radon levels should be under 4.0 pCi/L. It is not uncommon in our area to have levels close to or about this number. Testing your home for radon is a simple process. Buy a test at your local hardware store and follow the instructions included in the kit and send it in for analysis. If the levels come back high don’t panic! Remediation is a process that takes about a day. It involves a licensed contractor that installs a system that ventilates your home using PVC pipes to draw the gas up from the ground and out of the house. Typically, it can cost anywhere between $1,500-$2,000 depending on the levels and desired system.
