Grad Students Host Rally For Colleague Imprisoned in Iran

Princeton University graduate students are hosting a day of action, including a rally and candlelight vigil, today, February 20, to call for the release of Xiyue Wang, a Princeton colleague and United States citizen who has been detained in Iran’s Evin Prison since 2016. Wang was in Iran solely for scholarly purposes, learning the Farsi language and doing historical research for his Ph.D. dissertation, when he was arbitrarily and unjustly detained, according to Princeton University press releases. The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) has called for his immediate release, stating in September 2018 that the spying charge against Wang was false and that his conviction and imprisonment were unjust. A coalition of U.S. universities, led by the American Council on Education and the European University Association (EUA), which represents more than 800 universities and national university associations in 48 European countries, has also called for Wang’s immediate release, denouncing “this alarming violation of academic freedom, due process, and fair trial, which are fundamental and internationally recognized rights and standards.” The November 29, 2018 EUA statement added, “Mr. Wang’s imprisonment is deeply troubling for scholars around the world and has a chilling effect on historical research and all scholarly exchange.” Wang, 38, has now been separated from his wife and young son in Princeton for more than two and a half years, though he is able to call them on the phone almost daily. The WGAD opinion on Wang’s imprisonment states that Wang is “kept indoors for extended periods of time and does not see any natural light for up to a week at a time.” Wang’s wife, Hua Qu, has noted that her husband’s “physical and mental health are rapidly deteriorating. He has lost weight, developed arthritis in his knees, suffered rashes and pains all over his body, and fallen victim to depression.” Today’s events at Princeton University include a call-a-thon from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Campus Club library, where participants will make phone calls and conduct outreach to congressional representatives, urging them to prioritize Wang’s case, followed by the rally and candlelight vigil at Chancellor Green.

Hundreds Gather to Protest “Emergency” More than 300 spirited demonstrators gathered in Hinds Plaza outside the Princeton Public Library at noon Monday to protest President Trump’s emergency declaration to obtain funding for a border wall. Warning against “an imperial presidency,” “fascism,” and the deterioration of democracy, ten speakers, including ministers, politicians, public officials, and others, expressed strong opposition to Trump’s actions and called for resistance on numerous fronts. Blustery winds and cold temperatures did not temper the determination and anger of the speakers and their supporters, who repeatedly chanted “No Emergency, No Wall, No Wars,” and held up signs proclaiming “Stop Trump,” “Dictatorship is Un-American; Congress Rules the Purse,” “We Stand With Immigrants and Asylum Seekers,” “Fake Emergency, Fake President,” and other similar sentiments. “It might be cold right now, but our blood is boiling,” said the Rev. Carlton Branscomb of the First Baptist Church in Princeton. “We are hot against this issue in front

of us now, so let us stand up together.” The hour-long demonstration organized by the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA), the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice (BRCSJ), and Moveon.org was one of more than 250 rallies around the country Monday in response to Trump’s February 15 announcement. In addition to the widespread protests, 16 states, including New Jersey, California, and New York, have challenged

Trump in court over his plan to use emergency powers to spend billions more than Congress had granted him for his border wall. Emphasizing the importance of the separation of powers, CFPA Executive Director the Rev. Robert Moore said, “The Constitution is clear that only Congress can appropriate public funds, the president can only sign or veto funding legislation. If he succeeds in a power grab to spend Continued on Page 11

Finance Committee Study Finds Mercer County is a Big Spender At the February 11 meeting of Princeton Çouncil, a report by the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee (CFAC) revealed that Mercer County consistently spends more than other New Jersey peer counties, affecting the tax burden for Princeton residents. Although he specified that the benchmarking study is “a very preliminary, rudimentary analysis,” CFAC head Scott Sil-

lars recommended that the municipality engage with Mercer County officials and neighboring towns in the county to look further into the issue. Princeton’s property tax allocation for 2018 was 48 percent for school tax, 30 percent for county tax, and 22 percent for municipal purposes. As compared to Camden, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Continued on Page 7

After taking over as director of Princeton Ballet School last August, Aydmara Cabrera thought it might be a good idea to expose students to the ideas of master teachers from dance companies around the world. The concept evolved into a monthly series, which has become popular with students from inside and outside of the school.

This Sunday, Cuban ballerina Ana Lourdes Novoa will teach intermediate and adva nce d ballet clas s e s at the school in Princeton S h o p p i n g C e n te r. L a s t month’s guest teacher was Sean Mahoney of the Paul Taylor Dance Company; former Pennsylvania Ballet and San Francisco Ballet principal dancer Zachary Hench will visit next month and focus on partnering in ballet. In April, Xiomara Reyes, a past principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre and current director of the Washington Ballet School, will lead classes.

with the National Ballet of Cuba, has understandably looked to her home country and company to find guest teachers. Carreno, who was a star at American Ballet Theatre for many years, will teach at the upcoming summer intensive series as well as an open master class, she said. But she is intent on bringing teachers from other backgrounds, too. “I’m focusing on Cuban dancers this first year for obvious reasons,” she said, with a laugh. “They are my friends. But next year, we will have a little bit more variety. I want to make sure of that. We did have Sean Mahoney teach some beautiful classes here last month, and next month we have Zachary Hench, so it’s actually not all Cuban.”

“I wanted to expose my students, and invite students from outside the school, to experience these master teachers,” said Cabrera. “It has been very well received. The kids are excited. They see the benefit of having this kind of exposure. It’s like a refreshment for different styles, not just for the students but for our faculty as well.”

She returned to the company in Cuba and danced there for several more years before retiring and beginning her teaching career there.

But ballet in Cuba “is like baseball is here,” Cabrera said. “Now, the National Ballet School has about 3,000 students. It’s beautiful what they have been able to accomplish, even though the country itself has a lot of deterioration, which is unfortunate.” On Sunday, Novoa will teach an intermediate level ballet class for dancers 13 to 15 years old from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by an advanced level class for dancers aged 16 and up from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The cost is $35.

Question of the Week:

What are the most interesting things you know about George Washington? (Asked in honor of Washington’s Birthday) (Photos by Erica M. Cardenas)

Peace Vigil Planned Prior To Trump-Kim Summit

The Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) is holding a Pre-Summit Peace Vigil from 12 to 1 p.m. on Monday, February 25 at Palmer Square, prior to the second Trump-Kim Summit taking place February 27-28 in Vietnam. CFPA’s messages, which will be conveyed in posters provided by CFPA and which attendees will be encouraged to display, are “No More Reality TV Summits” and “Negotiate for Real Peace in Korea.” Members of the public are encouraged to attend. “While we advocate for Diplomacy, Not War in Korea and elsewhere, the first Summit last June in Singapore had a lot of publicity but seemed to not move the diplomatic process forward. Negotiations have been at a standstill since then,” the Coalition advocates. “We gather to advocate for real and meaningful negotiation progress at this Summit.” “Diplomacy can prevent war with North Korea, but it takes tenacious diplomacy to get a final agreement,” said CFPA Executive Director the Rev. Robert Moore. For further information, visit peacecoalition.org.

“One thing I always found interesting about George Washington was that he was actually very tall — if you think about how short people were back in the day. Not only was he a giant in height, he was a giant among men who led us to victory.” —Alisha Cardenas, West Chester, Pa.

“I know that he cut down the cherry tree and could not tell a lie.” —Alex Hammer, San Francisco, Calif.

Nobel Prize-Winner Speaks At Einstein Memorial Lecture

Admission is free but advance registration is required. Presented by the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce, the 25th annual lecture is dedicated to scientific inquiry and growth.

Monmouth, Passaic, Somerset, and Union counties, considered peer counties, Mercer’s general purpose tax is 25 percent higher, according to CFAC’s study. “In every category we looked at, we found that Mercer spent more than the others,” Sillars said. One of the problems is that Mercer data is not readily available. “The financial documents provided by Mercer County are lacking, to put it politely. They are incomplete,” he said. That means that CFAC is unable to do more than generalize the causes of the county’s spending. Though the peer counties are not consistent in how their appropriations are categorized, “Mercer County spending (appropriations) are higher than the median for the peer counties in virtually every category where CFAC could reasonably compare the peers,” the report says. When CFAC questioned county representatives about the lack of information, they were told it was not provided because no one had expressed interest in seeing it. “This does put the County officials, potentially, in a very awkward light,” Sillars said. “It seems as if this is a problem that has been around years and years and years.” Reflecting on the study this week, Sillars said he hopes the municipality engages in a discussion with County officials. “It paints the County in a bad light because the numbers are so opaque,” he said. “So that’s the first step. Ask for more daylight and dialogue. See whether other

Mercer municipalities are concerned about this.” Ideally, Mercer County would engage an independent consultant to do some benchmarking studies with other counties. The goal, according to the report, is to make Mercer County taxes are better aligned with those of peer counties, resulting in lower tax bills to all Mercer County taxpayers. —Anne Levin

Former Charleston Mayor To Speak at Roundtable

On Thursday, March 7 from 5 to 6:45 p.m., former Charleston, South Carolina Mayor Joseph P. Riley will join Mayor Liz Lempert and other business and community leaders for a roundtable exchange at Monument Hall. Riley will be in town at the guest of The Princeton Festival.

To qualify for this offer, you must have a new or existing Platinum Savings account and enroll the account in this offer between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. This offer is subject to change at any time, without notice. This offer is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NJ, NY, SC and VA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 2.08% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money (from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or its affiliates) to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the term of this offer. The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.10%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000 minimum, the Special Rate will not apply and the interest rate will revert to the standard interest rate applicable to your Platinum Savings account.

The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, standard interest rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings.

Offer not available to Private Banking, Wealth, Business Banking or Wholesale customers. 2. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. The 11-month New Dollar CD special requires a minimum of $25,000 brought to Wells Fargo from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank N.A., or its affiliates to earn the advertised APY. Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A fee for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the Special Rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. Due to the new money requirement, accounts may only be opened at your local branch. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Offer cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit offer. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking account will be converted to another checking product or closed.

“NO EMERGENCY, NO WALL”: More than 300 activists gathered on Monday in Hinds Plaza outside the Princeton Public Library to protest President Trump’s emergency declaration to gain funding for a border wall. The Rev. Lukata Mjumbe (at microphone), one of ten speakers, urged the crowd to stay focused on issues of inequities in social justice, along with their focus on the wall.

taxpayer dollars however the president wants, without authorization from Congress, we are on a path to dictatorship.” Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, suggesting that “this president has a bad habit of calling real things fake and pretending that fake things are real,” urged the audience to “take a moment and remember what is actually real and what is fake. The promise that a wall will make us great, that’s fake.” She went on to state that the emergency is fake and the reality is that Trump is in trouble and that “Congress does not want his wall, the American people do not want his wall, and we do not want his wall.” Calling for unity in opposition to the wall, she urged, “Let’s organize. Let’s mobilize. Today is Presidents Day, so let’s celebrate, but let’s celebrate by making sure that in 2020 we get a new one.” Several speakers cited the plight of immigrants as the real emergency. “There is an emergency, but it’s not the emergency Trump claims,” said Moore. “When children are separated from their families, that is inhumane. We say bring them back together now. That’s the real emergency, and the other emergency is that we have a president who is manipulating and distorting the truth so that he can try to get what he wants.” Move on.or g are a rep resentative Mary Stevens added, “The only crime is the Trump administration’s cruel policies, undermining the foundations of democracy.

say no. We always said no to walls,” he stated. “We must never tire of raising our voices and assembling. We must never tire of doing the legwork of democracy. We must never tire to strengthen the bonds of what makes us truly great, an inclusive society where all people are truly equal.” A l s o i nv o k i n g U n i te d States history, Branscomb warned, “This president, this uninformed and arrogant man, has aspirations akin to a common dictator. Our image around the world has been tarnished.” He went on to describe the wall as “nothing more than a symbol of closed-mindedness, fear, separatism, and distrust.” Reiterating that “we are A m er ic a ns,” Bra ns comb continued, “We are a global village and we need to start acting like one. We are Americans and as Americans we do not believe that any person has the right to dictate to us where our money goes and how it is spent.” Freelance activist Fatima Mugal provided first-hand information from her visit last month to the San DiegoTijuana border, describing separations of parents and children. “We should not be

Robt Seda-Schreiber described “their wall made of fear and built with hate. Their wall will not keep us safe. Their wall endangers the very foundation of what our country stands for, who we are.” Seda- Schreiber urged that that wall, at least symbolically, could be best brought down by bridging the gaps between people, by not allowing the concept of “the other.” “Look the passing stranger in the eye,” he said. “Invite the neighbor into your house. Hear the words spoken not of a different language but of the same heart.” Seda-Schreiber concluded by calling for recognition, respect, and love for all diverse community members. “No more can any of us be marginalized, forgotten, bullied, or otherwise unrecognized. That’s how we break down the wall.” Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund Executive Director Adriana Abizadeh cited a national crisis of mass incarceration, and the deaths of children in ICE detention. She encouraged her listeners to “become engaged with organizations that are committed to change and to make sure that the voice of truth is heard.” She was followed by Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, who echoed other calls for less hate and more love. Referring to the 2018 elections, he reminded the crowd, “We changed the course of this country in November. We took back the House. Do not ever get tired. Together we will take our country back and make it a country based on love and respect and not hatred and fear.” Councilman Tim Quinn picked up on the “indefatigable” theme and placed it in an historical context. “We

P rinceton P ersonality Ida Belle Dixon, Longtime Princeton Resident, Will Celebrate Her 100th Birthday in March How to tell Ida Belle Dixon’s story? During her 100 years of living, she has witnessed history, and made her own. She has endured poverty and hardship, experienced joy and love, all the while sustained by her deep Christian faith. She has chosen a life of service to others, helping children, families, friends, and relatives, making a difference in their lives that has continued through the years. Known as Belle, Ida Belle, Mom Dixon, Mother Dixon, and Sister Dixon, she gladly answers to all of these appellations. By whatever name she is known, however, there is no question that she is a true Princeton treasure. Role Model During her more than 80 years in this town, she has reached out to so many — all ages, all colors, all backgrounds — that her kind spirit and mellow wisdom have made her a role model in the community. Belle’s story began in Sylvester, Georgia, on March 9, 1919. The daughter of Harriet and Henry Ford, she was one of seven children. The family lived as tenants on a farm in a very rural area, and Belle began working in the fields as a young child. She never knew her father, who had left the family, and her mother did her best to make a home for the chil-

dren. No indoor plumbing, electricity, or other necessities were available in the house, and life was a struggle. “When I was 7, I began working in the fields picking and chopping cotton,” remembers Ms. Dixon. “Our other crops were sugar cane, peanuts, corn, velvet beans, and peas. We also had chickens, cows, and pigs, so we basically had all our food from the farm. My mother only got flour and sugar from the store. She also bought muslin cloth by the yard, and then she’d make sheets, pillowcases, and our clothes from it.” Tin Tub “I didn’t mind working in the fields, although it was hard work, and it could be ver y hot,” continues Ms. Dixon. “Also, every night, we had to wash all the dirt from the fields off our feet. We had a tin tub outside, which we could bring in for a bath.” Her schooling was very limited, and it necessitated a two- to three-mile walk to attend class. “I started school when I was 6, and went until the seventh grade. They didn’t have books for us, and the parents were supposed to buy them. Most people were too poor to do that, so we either had to borrow some, or occasionally, white people would get a few for us. “The only book we had in the house was the Bible,”

says Ms. Dixon. “My mother could read and write, alt hough she only went through the second grade. I didn’t go to high school until I was 15, and by then, we had moved into town, and were nearer the school. I was only able to go for two years, and I borrowed books from the other students. I had a very good memory, though, and I could memorize what was in them.” Church was hugely important for black families in the poor rural areas of the South. It was not only the religious, but also the social focus of their lives. Ms. Dixon was baptized at the age of 9, but even before that, she was an active participant at Sunday School. “When I was 5, I began singing in Sunday School. I knew gospel songs because my mother played them on an old phonograph, and I loved to sing. My grandfather was a minister in the Baptist Church, and I saw him and my grandmother when we visited for family reunions, and they’d tell us stories.” 27 Children Ms. Dixon learned from them that her great-greatgrandmother had been a slave, and the mother of 27 children. “She was what was known as a ‘breeder,’” she explains. “Certain young women were chosen to reproduce, and various men were selected to be the fathers. Some of these were

Native Americans who lived near by. The offspring were then sold to other owners. I don’t know if my greatgreat-grandmother had kept any of these children, but we were able to trace our line to her.” At the age of 10, Ms. Dixon was asked to help a white family, also tenants on the farm, when the mother was expecting her fourth child. “There were already three other little ones, and they wanted me to take care of them, and do the cooking. I had watched my mother cook, so I knew how. I stayed with the family for quite a while.” When Ms. Dixon and her family moved into town, it was the first time she became aware of racial discrimination in the form of “White Only” signs for water fountains, facilities, shops, and restaurants. As she explains, “T he situation in the South then was that you just accepted it because you knew nothing else. In the very poor areas, there was no opportunity to learn about other places. We had no radio, magazines, or newspapers. We just knew that life was hard, and that was the way it was.” She did not allow these examples of discrimination to embitter her. “I’ve never paid a lot of attention to it. I’m a different kind of person. I have a very strong sense of myself and have had from a very young age. I know who I am, and I am comfortable with who I am. If people don’t want me in a certain place, then I don’t want to be there. I have other places to be. I also set very high standards for myself.” Her strong faith has reinforced this attitude, she explains. “I believe I am who God wants me to be. I do think that you have to stand up for yourself, but you don’t have to look for trouble.” Other Opportunities When faced with acts of discrimination, Belle found ways to diminish them. An example occurred when she worked temporarily in a shop in town with a white clerk. As she recounts the incident, “One day, I wore a dress with a collar that I had embroidered my initials on. ‘I B F’ for Ida Belle Ford. “The clerk looked at my collar, and said ‘What’s that for? I Be a Fool?’ I didn’t get mad. I told her what the initials were for, and then I left that job. I thought she was an ignorant woman, and by then, I knew I had other opportunities.” A not h er i ncide nt a ls o took place in town, when she and a friend went to a movie. “Black people had to sit upstairs, and this was right before Thanksgiving. If you held a certain ticket, you could win a turkey. Well, I won! You were supposed to go downstairs to get it, but I wouldn’t go where I wasn’t wanted, so I waited until they brought the turkey upstairs to me. I wanted to take it home to my mother. This was quite something since the turkey was still alive!” Whether it was not being able to try on a dress in a store, encountering restrictions on where to walk on the sidewalk, or facing the innumerable other indignities endured by black people in those days, Ms. Dixon was resolute in her determination and belief that she

BELLE’S STORY: “You want people to respect you as a human being. And I do my best to respect others. When I look at a person, I look at God’s creation. I accept who they are, and I try to love everyone, even though I may not always agree with them. One of the problems is that people judge others before they even get to know them.” Princeton resident Ida Belle Dixon has a long history of finding the best in others. (Photo by Lance Liverman) could, and would, have a better life. She saw an opportunity for that in a move to Princeton. “My aunt was living in Princeton then, and she offered me the chance to come and live with her,” says Ms. Dixon. “I was 18, and it was my first train ride. I arrived at five in the afternoon, and my aunt immediately took me to the First Baptist Church. “Chu rch w as a m aj or part of our lives, and my aunt was very strict about it. I was very glad to go to church, but I wanted to do some other things too. For one thing, there was a boy in the neighborhood, and I wanted to ride his bike.” Uncle Oscar “That boy was my Uncle O s c a r,” n ote s l o n g t i m e Princeton resident and historian Shirley Satterfield. “I’ve known Mother Belle for 40 years, and she has contributed so much love and longevity to the community. When you see Mother Dixon, she just exudes love. “A nd how nice she is. When my mother passed a w a y s o m e y e a r s a g o, Mother Dixon said to me, ‘Shirley, now I can be your mother.’ It was so thoughtful and kind.” Although Ms. Dixon enjoyed Princeton in 1937, she had second thoughts about her aunt’s strict guidelines and no dating policy, and decided to return to Georgia, where she took a job cooking for a white family. She also met her husbandto-be Levy Dixon, and they soon returned to Princeton. “There were more opportunities here,” she explains, “and I was looking for the opportunity to be the best that I could be. There was so much less chance of that in the Georgia of those days. “When I came to Princeton, I loved it right away. Everyone was very friendly, and it was the Garden State. There were farms and gardens everywhere. My aunt lived on Clay Street, and there were community gardens that lots of people could work in.” She hastens to add that while she appreciated looking at the flowers, she did not garden herself. “I had done so much work in the fields in Georgia, I said there would be no more digging in the dirt once I left! Trolley Cars “A nd when I c ame to Princeton in 1940, there

were trolley cars. That was the way to get to Trenton if you were going shopping. In Princeton, we heard the radio, read the newspapers, and knew what was going on. And, it was here that I saw my first washing machine. “I was very comfortable. I enjoyed walking around, looking at the gardens, and seeing all the people. There wasn’t the same kind of discrimination that there was in the South. That isn’t to say that there was no prejudice, but it never bothered me. It was much less than in Georgia, and there were no ‘White Only’ water fountains, etc. I liked it because you could live your life the way you wanted to.” “Later, I was able to bring my mother here,” she continues, “and also my brother, John Henry Ford, came, and he was a minister for a long time in Skillman. I really wanted to help my mother. She worked so hard, and I wanted her to have a better life. I grew up without a father, and I gave all my love to my mother. “I still love Princeton, although it has changed. But I would rather live here than in any other town or city I ever visited. This is a special place.” Ms. Dixon and her husband found work as a couple in 1940 — she as a cook, he a chauffeur — for several families, and then, after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, she worked at the Belle Mead Army Depot, packing metal items for use in machinery for the war effort. Then her husband was drafted, and served overseas in the Army. After the war, Ms. Dixon focused on her work as a “family retainer” for many families in Princeton. It was here that she found her true vocation as a loving mentor and friend both to the children and the adults she met. Good Listener “I loved this work. I loved being with children and listening to them. I’m a good listener, and if you listen, children will tell you things. Remember, the children are always watching you and noticing what is going on. They hear the language spoken in the house and how the people react to each other. You never know what a difference you can make. “You have to remember that your behavior affects others. I always tried to have Continued on Next Page

strong commitment to the Nannie Helen Burroughs School in Washington, D.C. Nannie Helen Burroughs (1879-1961), an Afr ican American civil rights activist and educator, founded the National Trade and Professional School for Women and Girls in 1909 in Washington, with the goal of providing practical training for service in the domestic industry. It was the first school in the nation to offer vocational training for African American females who did not otherwise have educational opportunities available to them. It provided training in domestic work and various vocations, and also gave religious instruction. It was supported by the National Baptist Convention. “I admired Nannie Helen Burroughs so much,” says Ms. Dixon. “She did not have a real education herself, and had been denied positions, and yet she accomplished so much for others. I worked hard to raise money for that school. I wanted to help the students have the education I hadn’t been able to have.” Social Justice The school, which is now co-educational, was renamed the Nannie Helen Burroughs School in 1964, and now offers a wider array of academic and vocational training. A firm believer in the importance of social justice and rights for everyone, Ms. Dixon admired Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and many of those who worked so hard for civil rights, but she also points out the need for each individual to realize its importance and act accordingly. “Laws can be passed, and rights protected, as they should be, but it’s what is in people’s hearts that really matters. That is true of white and black people. Only then will there be real change.” To her personally, skin color does not matter. She looks beneath the surface to see the person within. It is character, not color, that counts. “One of the most important things — 100 percent really — is forgiveness. You must forgive people. If you are angry and resentful, it will just eat at you inside and make these feelings worse. Some people say, ‘I can forgive, but I can’t forget.’ I believe you have to forget too. Let it go. “ I w a s h a p p y to s e e Obama elected president, and I thought he was very in-

telligent and a good man. Of course, I remember Franklin Roosevelt and Eleanor too. Things began to get better when he was president, and helped us get out of the Depression.” Advice and Support Having stepped back from her multiple activities at the church and PNBC, Ms. Dixon is happy to relax, although she is still available as a consultant and dispenser of advice and support. In what is clearly an understatement, she says, ”I have been quite busy over the years, and now I am taking it easier.” Ms. Dixon, whose appearance belies her age, is definitely a firm believer in the value of a good laugh, noting that it can help in many ways. “Whatever comes in life, it is important to be happy and laugh. Some of the younger people come up to me and say ‘Mom Dixon, where are your wrinkles?’ I say, ‘It’s because of laughing.’ When you laugh, you don’t get wrinkles!” An enthusiastic tennis fan, she enjoys watching matches on TV, noting that “I really became interested through the Williams sisters. I admire what they have achieved and the influence they have had.” She also loves to listen to her favorite gospel music, especially the songs of Mahalia Jackson, but also enjoys the voices of Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, and Aretha Franklin. In addition, she has always been a fan of Judy Garland, and remembers with great pleasure when she was able to see her in a live performance in New York many years ago. She likes spending time with her friends of all ages, including longtime church companion Inez Williams, and she also goes to occasional events at the Princeton Senior Resource Center. Various Churches It was through that organization that she came to know her friend Patricia Ostberg, who was the PSRC administrative manager from 1996 to 2002. “Starting around 2005, Ida Belle and I served on the Princeton Church Women United Board, which brought together women representing the various churches in Princeton. She was a delight to serve with, and it is here I came to really know and appreciate her. “She is such a positive person. Despite all she has gone through over her years, she still feels blessed. I think her

contribution to the community and to me personally is being an inspiration and role model for how to live one’s life. When I need a lift in my spirit, I call her.” Another of Belle’s longtime friends, Jody Kerssenbrock, now living in Nebraska, feels the same way. “When I phone her from my home, we talk about tennis, politics, getting older, and Christianity, and we laugh together. Belle has a charming, quiet chuckle/ laugh. She perks up my day. “Belle has been a loving and stable force in Princeton and in my life and the lives of many others. One time, on a trip to Cape Cod for the funeral of the wife of a family with whom she worked for many years, she and I sang together the gospel song, ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand.’ She sang another song, ‘Let the Life I Live Speak for Me.’ And what a life she has led!” Over the years. Ms. Dixon has received countless awards and honors from her church, the community, PNBC, and organizations such as the Central Jersey Branch of the NAACP. More Tributes She appreciates such recognition, but as she points out, “I have never worked in the hope of getting an award. When I do something, I do it to help others or as a way to work for the church. I love to help people.” Of course, more tributes are on the way as her birthday approaches. The church will hold a special event in her honor, and the Princeton Council will offer its own tribute. Ms. Dixon has such a wideranging fan club that people will be arriving from as far away as California and North C arol i na. Her long t i m e friend Lula Venable will be among them, and she speaks for many when she says, “I love her dearly. She means so much to anyone who knows her.” The threads that have woven the tapestry of Belle Dixon’s life and that ultimately led her to spend most of her life in Princeton are love, commitment, and faith. Here is a woman — strong and independent — who traveled her journey with kindness and grace, lifting up everyone she met along the way. She chose not only to make her own world better, but also the world of all those whose lives she touched. Thank you, Belle! —Jean Stratton

themes is that they were such a force in the community, like Mom Dixon, because we were all that we had. We had to depend on each other. Everybody w as ever yone’s mot her. We looked after everyone’s children. Mom Dixon always thinks of how she can help someone.” L ance Liver man, longtime Princeton resident and former Princeton Township Committee and Princeton Council member, has known Belle Dixon since he was 4 years old. Better World “That is 52 years ago!” he reports. “I love Mom Dixon, and I love her insight. You can speak to her about any issue, and she will give you good advice. She has done a lot of networking in the community. If there is a need out there, she finds a way to fill it. She is loved by both black and white members of the community. Anyone in contact with her has benefited. “If everyone could be like Mom Dixon, it could be a much better world.” A church tribute to Ms. Dixon some years ago recognized what she has meant to the church with the following words: “Sister Dixon has been through the storm, rain, and up the rough side of the mountain, but nothing has stopped her from pressing toward the prize. She has been blessed with a winning smile and encouragement and cheer to spread her blessing to others no matter what her problems have been.” Her life has certainly not been without problems, including the difficult early years in Georgia. Her marriage ended some years ago, and in 2018, she suffered the loss of her son due to diabetes. She has endured a number of illnesses, including breast cancer, which she has survived for 36 years. She has faced these challenges with courage, always sustained by her faith. It has been her work with the Progressive National Baptist Convention and for the Nannie Helen Burroughs School that has been especially meaningful for Ms. Dixon. Numerous Events The Progressive National Baptist Convention (PNBC) consists of mainline African American Baptists, emphasizing civil rights and social justice. It is a member of the National Council of Churches and the Baptist World Alliance. Established in 1961, it has followed a path of political activism, supporting groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NA ACP) and endorsing methods such as affirmative action. Dr. Martin Luther King was a member of the organization. Ms. Dixon has been a delegate and advocate for PNBC, traveling extensively in its service, including to Pittsburgh, Detroit, Los Angeles, Memphis, and Dallas. She has also spoken at numerous events on its behalf in churches, schools, and correctional institutions. “I liked public speaking and interacting with people,” she observes. “I often spoke about the opportunity for a better way of life, to get on a better path.” “Opportunity” and “a better path” have informed her

the children I took care of understand that. Not all parents teach their children manners. I learned manners from my mother. She insisted on it. No bad language was allowed. It was very important to tell the truth. Also, to be respectful and trustworthy and responsible.” Ms. Dixon imparted these values to the families she helped, and without exception, the children of these families have remained her devoted friends. In one family, there had been some troubled relationships, and one of the daughters, then 11 or 12, was angry when she wasn’t allowed to do what she wanted. “She slammed the door, and let loose a stream of profanity,” recalls Ms. Dixon. “I took her upstairs and said ‘You will not use that language when I am in this house. It is disrespectful and unacceptable, and I will not allow it.’ She never used it in front of me again. “And later, this same girl came to me and said, ‘Belle, there was no love in our house until you came.’” Learning Experience The children loved Belle not only because she set standards, but because she was also fun to be with, and made caring for them both an entertaining and a learning experience. Ms. Dixon believes that she, too, has benefited from her experiences with the families and the children. “I felt I learned a lot. I had not had much education, and I could learn from them. For example, one young girl, Alison Hwong, told me to add an ‘e’ to Belle. It was my middle name, but I had been spelling it Bell, and hadn’t known to add that ‘e.’ I was so happy she told me.” That same Alison Hwong, now an MD/ PhD in San Francisco, has the warmest feelings for Ms. Dixon. “Belle began caring for me and my sister Connie, who is three years older, when I was 7 months old. So, I have really not known life without Belle. Modern families have no terms for her role in our lives — she was more than a grandmother, or even a second mother — she is a beloved part of our family. “One special memory is Belle bringing me and my sister to First Baptist Church to sing “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” My sister got stage fright, leaving me, with a kindergartener lisp, to sing in front of the congregation. Now, her church members ask Belle how her ‘Chinese girls’ are doing. “I like to think that Belle taught me so much about loving and living. She had a difficult childhood in Georgia, lived through the Civil Rights Movement, and has maintained this boundless joy up to her 100th year. She has a smile and sense of gratitude that fill a room. She truly lives her Christian faith in spreading unconditional love and showing grace to her community.” Loving Caregiver A l is on’s m ot h er, B e a trice Hwong, adds her own thoughts about Belle’s influence. “Belle was a wonderfully reliable, loving caregiver for the children, driving

them to Princeton Montessori School, attending Suzuki violin lessons, enabling me to work in software engineering research at RCA, Sarnoff, and Siemens Corporate Research. “When they had no school, she would bring them to have lunch with me when I worked nearby. Belle has been such a special addition to our family. We have remained in touch, and the daughters visit Belle when they are in Princeton. Our son Taylor also visits with his two children, so Belle has connected with yet another generation of Hwongs.” In 1952, Ms. Dixon and her husba nd adopte d a 7-week-old baby boy, Larry Dean Dixon, and at the same time, she began a new job at General Motors in Ewing. Never a stranger to hard work, she continued to care for the families (often five different groups each week) in the morning before going to her 3 p.m. to midnight GM shift. Throughout this time, she was very active at First Baptist Church. She has clearly followed the church’s inclusive motto: “The Church with Open Doors, Where Hearts Are Healed, Souls A re Saved, A nd G od Is Praised.” She has served in every conceivable way: as part of the church choir, a member of the deaconess board, a pastor’s aide, a member of the missionary society, treasurer, and coordinator of the Sunday School. She has held many offices, including chaplain of the Unity Choir, president of the missionary society, and president of the New Jersey Progressive Baptist Convention, Women’s Department, among many others. Her fundraising efforts on behalf of the church are legendary, including countless bake sales. A noted baker (pies, cakes, and her famous black walnut cookies), she made sure that her bake sales invariably sold out. Hard Work “Mom Dixon had to reeducate us about how to hold up the church through our work when things were difficult,” says First Baptist Church Senior Pastor, the Rev. Carlton E. Branscomb. “She educated me and others to do the hard work during the difficult days of funding and declining membership. She went right to work with the bake sales. “She has served in whatever way she could. Love is at the core, and service is an expression of that love. To me, everything about Mom Dixon is a blessing. Every time I preach the word, and I look over and see her, I know I’m all right. “And she gives the best hugs! They have the healing touch. She’s an important force in the community. She may be a little lady, but she’s a large presence!” Adds Cher yl Sistr u n k, secretary of First Baptist, “Mom Dixon has showed us how to care for others by her example. The WitherspoonJackson community had an over whelming number of mothers and fathers from a different stock — cut from a different cloth and with a different mindset. It was very normal for them to look after one another. “One of t he recur r ing

PHS Secretary Wins NJEA Award, Initiates ESP Mentoring Program

Olive Giles, child study team and guidance department secretary at Princeton High School (PHS), was awarded the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) Education Support Professionals (ESP) Person of the Year Award earlier this month in a ceremony at the East Brunswick Hilton. Among her many accom-

plishments over a 25-year career in education is the creation of a mentoring program which is the first of its kind in the state of New Jersey for educational support staffers. Mentoring programs for new teachers have long been an established education practice, but Princeton’s ESP program is one of only three district-

supported mentoring programs for ESPs in the country, according to the NJEA. Beginning in 2016, Giles, who is president of the Princeton Regional Education Support Staff Association (PRESSA), began collaborating with Lewis Goldstein, who was then assistant superintendent, to launch the PPS Support Staff Mentoring Program. Goldstein and Giles followed the model of

PPS’ successful mentoring program for teachers, seeking to boost new ESPs’ confidence, build strong working relationships among staff, improve outcomes for students, and demonstrate the value administration and the Board of Education place on the work ESPs do. “This program helps to put ESPs on equal footing with teachers and certificated staff,” Goldstein stated in

an interview with NJEA. “It shows that we take their professional growth as seriously as we do teachers’. The work that ESPs do is critical to the success of the district, and we are always looking to implement programs that show how valued ESPs are in Princeton Public Schools.” Giles noted, “It is always difficult for anyone who is starting a new job, but when there are precious minds to tend to, that is a game changer. As ESPs we should all have the knowledge of and share the ‘inside scoop’ on how to navigate such an important profession.”

She continued, “Additionally, because we are a union agency, we work collaboratively, not competitively, with each other for the benefit of our students. The mentoring program embraces new employees at the door and addresses any concerns that they might have when coming to a new environment, and values them by supporting them in the new positions.”

The first ESP mentor class occurred during the 2017-18 school year with 32 participants, including 16 new hires. In 2018-19 the program doubled. There are currently 33 new hires and 66 total ESP staff participating in the program. So far, Giles pointed out, there have been no big problems, “no hiccups” for the program, only kudos. Giles is eager to spread the word and see other districts adopt mentoring programs for support staff. “We would like to see the program replicated, especially for ESPs, who have not been serviced or shown the same attention as others in education,” she said. “Because we are a diverse group and know the children as much as, and sometimes more than, teachers or administrators, we also have a stake in how the students progress and handle their school day. We are not just education support staffers. We are essential support staffers.” Giles emphasized the impor tance of having well trained, well prepared ESPs in a school setting. “Most people learn on the job, but in this profession, you should know what you’re working with, from all vantage points, from the outset,” she stated. Cautioning the public not to “overlook the secretaries, custodians, bus drivers, or instructional assistants in your school district,” Giles questioned, ”Were it not for ESPs, how would the school district look and run? ESPs are the backbone of the school districts and should be valued as essential to the profession.” —Donald Gilpin

Michael Volpe will be taking over as the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) new assistant superintendent for human resources on April 16. Currently the director of human resources for the Hillsborough Township Public Schools, Volpe was selected from nearly 60 applicants and officially appointed by the PPS Board of Education (BOE) at a special February 12 meeting. “Mike brings a wealth of experience to his new role with us,” said PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane. “During his career in education he has excelled as a reading teacher, an English teacher, an English department chair, a high school vice principal, and, for more than a decade, as an elementary school principal. A true educator, Mike is someone who cares about great teaching and who cares about people.” According to a PPS press release, Volpe introduced into the Hillsborough Schools the practice of instructional rounds to bring teachers and administrators together in conversations about successful practice and also initiated a character education program. Volpe will step into the assistant superintendent position vacated by Lewis Goldstein, who retired on January 31 after 19 years. Judy Bronston is serving as interim director of human resources. In his new position Volpe will serve as an advisor to Cochrane and the Board while managing the human resources, public information, and community affairs operations of the district. He lives in Hillsborough with his wife and children.

Flu Outbreak at John Witherspoon Subsides With the help of a snow day last Tuesday, a week-long “disinfection protocol,” and a long holiday weekend, the Princeton Public Schools seem to have reined in a recent flu outbreak. “We seem to have turned the corner with flu-related illnesses at JW,” wrote PPS Communications Director Valerie Francois in a email yesterday. “Only five percent of the students were absent today as compared to more than 20 percent a week and a half ago. It appears the long weekend allowed more students to full recover.” The New Jersey Department of Health has been reporting widespread influenza (flu) or “influenza-like illnesses” in all regions of the state, and more than 20 percent of John Witherspoon Middle School students were absent on Thursday and Friday, February 7 and 8. PPS consulted with Municipal Health Officer Jeff Grosser, “and at his direction the district has implemented a comprehensive disinfection protocol at JW,” PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane announced in a message to JWMS students, staff, and families on Friday, February 8.

Princeton Council’s February 11 vote to settle a lawsuit filed in 2013 against former Police Chief David Dudeck, the Princeton Police Department, and the municipality, awards a total of $3.925 million to current and former police officers who accused Dudeck of sexual harassment, discrimination, and creating a hostile work environment. Instead of having the case go to trial, the municipality will pay former officers Sharon Papp $1.3 million, Carol Raymond $600,000, Chris Quaste $150,000, and Mike Bender $125,000; current officers Chris Donnelly $500,000 and Dan Chitren $1.15 million; and retired of f i c e r S te ve R i c c i te l l o $100,000. The town did not admit any guilt or liability as part of the settlement. The amounts have been entered into public record. Council announced the settlement at its meeting February 11, but did not divulge the amounts awarded the officers. Early this week, County Administrator Marc Dashield said it was still too early to discuss the specifics.

“We cannot discuss the settlement at this time because we are still finalizing the agreement,” Dashield s a i d. “A lt h ou g h t h e officers’ at tor ney released information, we have been advised by our legal team not to discuss it until the agreement has been finalized.” It was in August 2013 t h at t h e s e v e n of f i c e r s filed suit against Dudeck, what was then Princeton Borough, and the Police Depar tment, alleging an “egregious and continuing” pattern of harassment and discrimination. Dudeck had been forced to retire by the time of the filing. The suit stated that he was “patently abusive and created a hostile work environment.” The suit also alleged that the municipality hired Dudeck as chief of the newly consolidated Princeton “despite knowledge of his discr iminator y conduct,” for which he was not disciplined, and therefore the town colluded with Dudeck to hide his behavior. —Anne Levin

Stanley Corngold Discusses His Biography Potholes on Harrison and Nassau Have Resident Asking Council to Act Of Princeton Philosopher Walter Kaufmann

To The Editor: We residents of Princeton, New Jersey live in a community that is the seat of a world famous institution of higher learning. Faculty, students, and others from all over America and around the world come to Princeton to teach, study, learn, and accrue knowledge. There is culture in Princeton, good restaurants, a good local school district, and a safe, clean community. Our taxes are high, but living and working in Princeton is considered a privilege. And yet, every time I drive across the intersection of Harrison Street and Nassau Street, with all the potholes, ruts, ditches, my car vibrates, shakes, and veers off to the side, dangerously. With all the taxes we pay in Princeton, with all the amenities, why is there an intersection that is emblematic of a banana republic, a country that is struggling financially, culturally, a country that is unsafe and unhealthy for the citizens who live there. I implore the local government of our community to fix, pave, re-surface that intersection so that crossing Harrison and Nassau is safe and secure for all drivers and that it is emblematic of the community of which we should all be proud. HOWARD W. SILBERSHER Governors Lane

Supporting Mia Sacks for Princeton Council, Given Her Insights About Town’s Past, Future

To the Editor: I am delighted that Mia Sacks has decided to run for Princeton Council and offer my enthusiastic support. I have watched her deep commitment to our town’s well-being in many capacities, and her ability to approach problems with an open mind, a listening ear, and a determination to find solutions that are a win for everyone involved. Like Mia, I grew up here and returned later with young children to avail myself and my family of Princeton’s unique opportunities. I’m impressed with Mia’s dedication to the town she loves, and appreciate that her belief in Princeton’s greatness lies not just in its past or a simple nostalgia for “the way things were,” but rather in a vision for what Princeton can be. On Council, she will ensure that our town plans for the future in a proactive and progressive way. I believe Mia’s experience on the Planning Board, where she has served on the Master Plan Subcommittee and the Zoning Amendment Review Committee, makes her wellqualified to wrestle with the unique challenges we face as a town. Her related work on the issue of preserving neighborhood character, and earlier, the harmonizing of former borough and township ordinances into a consolidated code, has given her insight into Princeton’s past and the complex issues going forward. Princeton, like many other towns, is confronted with challenges that include parking, mass transportation, maintaining a vibrant downtown, stewardship of parks and open space, and the control of development. I support Mia’s view that these interconnected issues are most effectively solved using an approach that prioritizes sustainability and smart growth. Mia has been passionately involved with these issues for a very long time and has demonstrated the ability to work collaboratively and collegially in finding solutions to Princeton’s municipal planning challenges. Because of the energy, experience, and expertise she has already demonstrated in service to the town of Princeton, I am thrilled to support Mia Sacks for Princeton Council.

Princeton Professor Emeritus Stanley Corngold will be at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, February 27, at 6 p.m. to discuss and read from his biography, Walter Kaufmann: Philosopher, Humanist, Heretic (Princeton Univ. Press). This event is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council. A Princeton professor for 30 years, best known for his book Existentialism: From Dostoevsky to Sartre, Walter Kaufmann (1921–1980) was a charismatic philosopher, critic, translator, and poet who fled Nazi Germany at the age of 18, emigrating alone to the United States. Corngold’s “luminous biography” (Kirkus Reviews) is the first in-depth study of Kaufmann’s thought, covering all his major works. According to Alexander Nehamas, author

of Nietzsche: Life as Literature, Kaufmann “was erudite, passionate, opinionated, and deeply controversial. In this sweeping intellectual biography, Stanley Corngold paints a lively and engaging portrait of a thinker whose views on philosophy, art, literature, politics, religion, and modernity remain of immediate importance today―a portrait that is as touching as it is compelling.” Stanley Corngold is professor emeritus of German and comparative literature at Princeton University. His many books include The Fate of the Self: German Writers and French Theory; Complex Pleasure: Forms of Feeling in German Literature; Lambent Traces: Franz Kafka; and Franz Kafka: The Ghosts in the Machine.

NATURAL FOODS GROCERY • SINCE 1970

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

The series showcases senior thesis students of the Program in Creative Writing alongside established writers as special guests. Featuring student writers Christian Bischoff, Sena Cebeci, Crystal Liu, Remi ShaullThompson, and Helena Van Brande, the event is free and open to the public. The first woman to be named poet laureate of Brooklyn, Tina Chang is the author of the poetry collections Half-Lit Houses (2004) and Of Gods & Strangers (2011). Her work has been featured in numerous anthologies and she has received awards from, among others, the Academy of American Poets.

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

San Lipsyte’s New Novel Subject of Labyrinth Talk

garden today.

Library Live at Labyrinth presents Sam Lipsyte and Virginia Harabin in a conversation about Lipsyte’s new novel, Hark, on Tuesday, February 26 at 6 p.m. According to the Washington Post, “Lipsyte is marvelous at inspiring equal parts sympathy and scorn... his sentences are as sharp as ever.” O Magazine says “The lauded satirist’s caustic sendup centers on a cabal of hucksters — among them a hapless husband whose marriage is ‘locked in low-key, quotidian apocalypse’ — working to turn a phony self-help guru into a moneymaking messiah. Every line feels as thrillingly charged as a live wire.” Sam Lipsyte is the author of the story collections Venus Drive and The Fun Parts and four novels: Hark, The Ask, The Subject Steve, and Home Land, which was a New York Times Notable Book and received the first annual Believer Book Award. He teaches at Columbia University. Virginia Harabin is the general manager of Labyrinth Books, a comic artist, and a writer.

“Conquered in a Car Seat” — Thoughts On “Bohemian Rhapsody” And I’m conquered in a car seat, Not a thing that I can do... — Van Morrison, from “Cyprus Avenue.” ’m driving down Nassau Street on a fine brisk late April afternoon in 1976 when something called “Bohemian Rhapsody” comes on the radio. Fresh from the birth of a son, I’m like a happy Ancient Mariner ready to stop people on the street to tell them my story, only instead of coming from the realm of the living dead I’ve been to the promised land of life and love. Now this piece of music erupting from the ancient Dodge Dart’s equally ancient radio, is giving me what I need, matching my emotional overload, speaking to and for me: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” Somewhere between the stoplights on Nassau, I’m wrenched from “easy come, easy go, a little high, a little low” to “Mama, just killed a man, put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead.” The words “life had just begun” rhyme with my first-time parental bliss, but not “I’ve gone and thrown it all away.” Looking back at the moment, I see the ultimate “little did he know” scenario. Go ahead, sing along, fool, blissfully ignorant of the highs and lows of the epic manic depressive opera of fatherhood awaiting you. Again, the song seems to know where I’m going. No sooner do the words “I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all” voice the lament I hear from my troubled son four decades later, here comes the zany, out-of-nowhere cry of “Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango,” a light opera Harpo Marx Bronx cheer for apocalypse (“thunder and lightning very very frightening”), and then, incredibly, absurdly, thrillingly, “Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Figaro, magnifico!” It’s a wonder I don’t run over someone at the Witherspoon intersection, red lights, green lights, the colors lose their meaning in the same car with “we will not let you go, never let you go,” and now, who can resist, I really am singing along as if the song were inside of me, years in the making, “Oh mama mia, mama mia, mamma mia let me go.” No, wait, time to pull over on Spring, there’s no singing along with “Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me — for me!” I’m nodding my head to the cosmic epitome of guitar breaks, the happy Ancient Mariner going gloriously

round the bend, swept ashore, exhausted, out of breath, but who cares — “Nothing really matters, nothing really matters ...” How long did the experience last? Just under six minutes? Unbelievable. The world turned, a child was born, a song was sung but so much more than a song. Fifteen years later the child who claims “Bohemian Rhapsody” was the first music he ever heard would be mourning Freddie Mercury. Film vs Video I almost skipped Bohemian Rhapsody, the film, after seeing the video promoting the song made by Queen in November 1975. The budget for the film was $50-55 million dollars; according to ultimateclassicrock.com, the video directed by Bruce Gowers cost “a few thousand pounds” and was made in four hours. The film took five

universe he plays in the Amazon series Mr.Robot. It goes without saying that the music is amazing, but whenever it’s not there, the film suffers, so much so that one of the most exciting moments is when you realize Queen’s manager John Reid is being played by Little Finger from Game of Thrones. For that matter, where’s the raging beauty of “Death on Two Legs” for the scene where Aidan Gillen is thrown from the limo (“Is your conscience all right? Does it plague you at night?”). No Gatekeeper Another problem with the film is that an actor with a gatekeeper is playing a performer who had none. The first time I heard this term used was when a high school drama teacher told me, “Your son has no gatekeeper. I tell the other kids, get rid of the gatekeeper, but they can’t.” The

months to make, lasts over two hours, and offers nothing as inventive as the video. Rami Malek should win the Best Actor Oscar if only for the sheer physical effort of performing Freddie Mercury, in spite of the creepy Halloween effect of that prosthetic overbite; whenever he smiles, you cringe. His body language is as elaborate as a passage of heightened prose but, like the film as a whole, it lacks warmth and depth, never really convincing you that this superficially flamboyant person could have composed a work as rich and strange as “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It might have helped had Malek projected something like the haunted, haunting mood of the hoodie-wearing master of the cyber

total absence of stage fright has its downside, however, should the gatekeeper be missing when one of your friends encourages you to sing “Bohemian Rhapsody” a capella in the hallway between classes. The best performance I’ve seen in years was by an actor playing a character with no gatekeeper, or at best a very unreliable one. I wish I could say Robbie Coltrane was up for an Oscar this year, but Cracker, the series he starred in, was filmed in the 1990s. It’s about the exploits of a hugely overweight crime-solving genius psychologist named Fitz who smokes too much, gambles too much, drinks too much, and, as someone says, is too much. He’s the sort who stands up to speak at his daugh-

ter’s wedding banquet and gives a sarcastic account of her lovelife complete with withering comments about the groom. Then there’s the time he’s standing between two psychotic-looking skinheads at a pub’s room-for-everyone urinal. To the skinhead on his left: “You’re the artistic kind — it goes everywhere.” To the one on his right: “You’re the Luke Skywalker type — straight like a laser beam. I can’t help but take a look — people usually find it disgusting.” Skinhead: “You looking for a broken nose, pal?” Fitz: “Yeah, you know someone who can give me one, pal?” Next shot Fitz emerges mopping his bloody nose. Of course if you’re good enough to win three straight BAFTA Best Actor awards, there must be a gatekeeper somewhere on the premises. A Sympathetic Actor The death of Bruno Ganz, reported in Sunday’s New York Times (“An Actor Who Played an Angel and Hitler”), has me thinking back to my first encounter with Wim Wenders’s The American Friend and Ganz’s subdued, centered, deeply sympathetic performance as a framemaker. Although Wenders’s direction and Robbie Muller’s visionary cinematography created the spell I was under when I left the theatre, what I’m moved by now is Ganz’s ability to convey humanity, artistry and vulnerability while at work humming Kinks songs like “Too Much On My Mind.” In fact, Wim Wenders, who once said his brain had been “colonized” by rock and roll, may be the only director alive today who could have made a film worthy of Freddie Mercury’s story. y first viewing of The American Friend came in 1977, less than a year after Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” left me “conquered in a car seat.” My account of that experience has been amplified and reimagined after numerous recent hearings of the song and viewings of the video, which can be seen on YouTube. The shots of Freddie singing are worth a thousand biopics, and it’s hard to think of a more fitting farewell than the moment he sings that his time has come, shivers down his spine, body aching all the time: “Goodbye everybody — I’ve got to go — gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.” —Stuart Mitchner

THEATER REVIEW

“Bicycle Face” Continues Passage Theatre’s Solo Flights Series; Hannah Van Sciver Portrays Women from Past, Present, and Future

assage Theatre continued its annual Solo Flights series with Bicycle Face, which was presented February 15-17. Written and performed by Hannah Van Sciver, and set in Philadelphia, this provocative monologue is a work of performance art. Multimedia is blended with live performance — dramatic and musical — to examine cultural attitudes in the late 19th century, the present, and a hypothetical future. Created in 2015, the show premiered in June of that year in the Philadelphia SoLow Festival. Subsequent performances have included the Razor’s Edge Solo Performance Festival in New Orleans and the United Solo Theatre Festival at Theatre Row in New York City. Upon being seated, the audience is presented with an on-screen collage. The images include photographs of female musicians; recent political events; and a variety of quotes, many posted on social media. “It is never too late to check yourself and right your wrongs,” advises one quote. “Don’t mess with her, she is fearless,” warns another. These images are presented in rapid, rather dizzying succession. A white bicycle has been placed directly in front of the screen. On one end of the stage is a black guitar. On the other end is a mannequin on which has been placed a 19th century outfit: a prim skirt and elegant red jacket. An exuberant performer, Van Sciver is adept at initiating, and maintaining, immediate rapport with the audience, making attentive use of eye contact throughout the performance. “How’s everybody doing?” the monologist asks when starting the show, repeating the question more loudly, as if dissatisfied with the response. Van Sciver portrays three distinct characters. Prudence, a wife and mother, is a rather formal, proper woman of her time (1896). However, she has taken up cycling; she remarks that the pastime has “given me a thing of my own to look forward to,” despite the disapproval with which her enjoyment of it is met. By contrast, Tess is a contemporary, feisty professional photographer with a passion for collages. One of her clients is a bride, which prompts her to contemptuously remark that the “capitalist hoopla” of marriage is “phasing out.” In the distant future (the year 2136) the coldly analytical Professor K, who only exists as a voice heard over the sound system, teaches a feminist theory course which serves

as a framing device for the show. The course is taught online — via the “noosphere” — and focuses on Prudence and Tess, to examine cultural mores and changing attitudes toward gender roles, in their respective eras. The sound design by Van Sciver and director David O’Connor gives Professor K’s voice an eerie, otherworldly quality, and makes it difficult to discern whether the character is male or female.

Prudence is examined by a Dr. (Arthur) Shadwell. Because the mannequin portrays Dr. Shadwell (as it does all of the supporting characters), the checkup is an entertaining bit of puppetry by Van Sciver. Shadwell (1854-1936) is real; through a projection we learn that he wrote an article containing the phrase that gives the show its title. Shadwell warns against a “peculiar strained, set look” that he called the “bicycle

face.” He adds, “Those who have suffered conceal the fact as far as possible, and especially from the doctor, for fear of being forbidden their ‘beloved bikes.’ That is noticeably the habit of young women, who are the chief sufferers.” In turn, Tess photographs cyclists in the Philly Naked Bike Ride, and writes a song about the participants. In addition to writing and acting, Van Sciver is a musician who creates incidental music for plays, and plays percussion as part of the band Gracie and the So Beautifuls. The show dramatizes this, making Tess a singersongwriter (who performs, the audience is told, in many train stations), as well as a photographer. The song initially discusses “men and women,” but hastens to substitute, “people.” Tess later creates a mash-up of two photographs — the bride, and one of the men from the Philly Naked Bike Ride — and declares that the audience can “ride with it or get run over.” Having contrasted a woman from a repressive era, who liberates herself via a bicycle; and a woman from a comparatively permissive time, who nevertheless self-edits a song to conform to changing perceptions of gender, Professor K probingly asks, “Were they happier? Are you happier?” Van Sciver evasively blinks; the show leaves it to the audience to answer the question. Van Sciver’s writing is astute, affording the production scope for subtle thematic layers. For example, it is notable that both Dr. Shadwell and Professor K. clinically reduce Prudence and Tess from living, breathing human beings to specimens to be examined and discussed. In turn, neither appears as a flesh-and-blood character; Shadwell is portrayed by the mannequin, and Professor K is a disembodied voice. The show ends by projecting one final photograph: a 19th-century woman standing with a bicycle. This lone, peaceful image from the past is a marked contrast to the overwhelming collage from our time, which opened the show. imilarly, Sara Outing’s costumes contrast a stately past with a sleek, edgy “BICYCLE FACE”: Passage Theatre has continued its Solo Flights series with “Bicycle present and future.

Rider Musical Theatre Presents “Assassins”

Rider University’s Musical Theatre presents Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s musical Assassins February 27 through March 3 in the Yvonne Theatre on the Rider University campus in Lawrenceville. Louis F. Goldberg is the stage and musical director, and Lisa Twamley is the choreographer. The preview performance is Wednesday, February 27 at 7:30 p.m. Performances are Thursday, February 28 at 7:30 p.m., Friday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 2 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, March 3 at 2 p.m. Assassins explores the lives of the nine individuals who have tried to assassinate or succeeded in assassinating a president of the United States. Perhaps the most controversial musical ever written, Assassins is bold, disturbing, entertaining, and funny. Some material may not be suitable for young audiences. “Assassins is a complex, dense, and in every moment intriguing script and score,” says Goldberg. “Nine assassins from different historical eras encounter each other in a variety of unusual situations. The piece provides much interesting perspectives on the state of the American Dream as it exists in the 21st century. It has provided marvelous, complicated challenges for our theatre students and we have all enjoyed the op-

portunity to dive deeply into this fascinating material.” Rider University is located at 2038 Lawrenceville Road. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors. Visit www.rider.edu/arts or call (609) 896-7775. General admission preview tickets are $9 for adults and $5 for students and seniors and are only available at the door.

“Bolts & Stitches,” works by Gene and Peggy Hracho, will be on view in the main gallery at Artworks Trenton March 12 through April 13. An opening reception is Saturday, March 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. Each artist pieces together complex works from a variety of new and repurposed materials. Each of the resulting works is constructed with a density of details that reward the viewer with more to experience the longer they spend with the work. Peggy and Gene Hracho, two artists living in Reading, Pa., have been together for more than 30 years, having met while they were studying at the Atlanta College of Art. They keep separate

daughters. They often work simultaneously, listening to the sounds of each other’s process through the floorboards that separate them. Peggy’s work with cloth and stitch employs the sewing machine as both a construction tool and a drawing tool. Images of women are central in her narrative series dealing with themes of memory, current happenings, and portraiture. Gene’s sculpture is built upon narratives, some recounted and some imagined, for which the physical works become relics. Sometimes, the scars of the previous lives of the materials that are curated into the work become the lines with which Gene draws, thus allowing their histories

manipulates the materials to give them the appearance of possessing more of a past than they actually have. Through these processes, the objects provide clues to the story of the person who made the object or to the personified object itself. Artworks Trenton is located at 19 Everett Alley in Trenton.

More than 50 Mexican retablos — folk paintings dedicated to Christ, the Virgin Mary, or saints to commemorate a miraculous event — will be presented in an exhibition March 16 through July 7 at the Princeton University Art Museum. Vibrant and emotive, the small-scale paintings on metal span the entirety of the 20th century, serving as both historical documents and as personal expressions of suffering, insecurity and salvation, particularly in regard to the challenges of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The works in “Miracles on the Border: Retablos of Mexican Migrants” were offered by Mexican migrants at churches and pilgrimage sites throughout western Mexico and the United States. The exhibition, curated by Juliana Ochs Dweck, the Museum’s Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Academic Engagement, will be presented in both English and Spanish. “As personal testimonies of faith, hope, and family separation, these delicately wrought images serve as powerful reminders about human strength and resilience in the face of acute challenges and hardship,” said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher–David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director. The Museum’s bilingual exhibition and its accompanying programs are part of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS) Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar entitled “Global Migration: The Humanities and Social Sciences in Dialogue,” a timely and in-depth series examining the significant issues surrounding transnational migration. The term retablo, from the Latin retro tabulum (behind the altar table), originally referred to painted depictions of saints or the Virgin that hung behind altars in Catholic churches in Europe and later in the Americas. In Mexico, reflecting traditions embedded in the culture by Spanish colonization, retablos came to denote the small paintings on tin placed as votive offerings in home altars, shrines, or churches in gratitude for divine protection.

dated by the supplicant, retablos flourished in Mexico in the 19th century. In the wake of the Mexican Revolution (191020), the muralist Diego Rivera called retablos the “one true and present pictorial expression of the Mexican people” and promoted them as public manifestations of popular creativity. Among the subjects addressed by the retablos on view are the difficulty in finding work, the danger of falling sick in a foreign land, and the joy and relief of returning home. Organized in chronological order, the works in the exhibition combine images and compelling personal narratives of gratitude, salvation, and miraculous recovery. “Though these expressions of gratitude for miracles small and large were commissioned by individual migrant laborers and reflect their personal stories, these insightful and moving images were in fact meant for public viewing,” said Sandra Bermann, Cotsen professor in the humanities, professor of comparative literature at Princeton, and faculty head of the Sawyer Seminar. Two public programs with Durand and Massey have been planned to accompany the exhibition in partnership with the PIIRS Sawyer Seminar: Thursday, April 4, 5:30 p.m., McCosh Hall at Princeton University; and Saturday, April 6, 4 p.m., at the Princeton Public Library. The Saturday event features a lecture in Spanish as well as English. In addition, an interdisciplinary faculty panel entitled “Mexican Votives across Time and Space” will take place on Tuesday, April 2, at 4:30 p.m. and will consider the role of retablos in Mexican art, religion, and migration. On Saturday, May 4, from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Museum will offer its spring family day with games, art making and performances focused on the retablos theme of gratitude. The Princeton University Art Museum is located at the heart of the Princeton campus. Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

“Erica was a wonderful tutor for geometry for my eighth grade daughter who attended Kreps Middle School, East Windsor Regional School District, and who now is a sophomore at the Peddie School. Erica was very professional and did not pass judgment upon my daughter as other tutors have done in the past. Under Erica's tutelage, my daughter was able to obtain a high B overall for geometry, taking this course two years ahead of the majority of her peers.” —Kim Pendino, Ph.D. “Erica’s regular presence with my daughter motivated her to focus and study for the SAT. Through this effort, her math skills improved so that she was prepared to perform on the test.” —Ondria J. Wasem, Ph.D.

CINEMA REVIEW

Star-Crossed Lovers Repeatedly Rendezvous in Postwar Drama

ateline: Poland, 1949. The countryside is still devastated by the blight left behind in the wake of World War II. It is amidst these ruins that we find young Zula Lichon (Joanna Kulig) auditioning for a spot in the national entertainment ensemble. The aspiring singer-dancer survives the tryout because the repertory company’s powerful musical director, Wiktor Warski (Tomasz Kot), is quite taken by her beauty. The pretty peasant girl, in turn, is quite flattered by the attention being lavished on her by her handsome and relatively-sophisticated advocate, even though he’s old enough to be her father. Before long the two start a romance, indulging in stolen moments between their traveling troupe’s performances at various ports of call behind the Iron Curtain. Sadly, they are far less passionate about their work than they are about each other. That’s because the group finds itself pressured to stage productions that are pure propaganda, given how Poland, as part of the Soviet bloc, is under the thumb of Stalinist Russia. In fact, the political paranoia of the era so deeply

affects Zula that she meets weekly with a Communist Party boss (Lech Kaczmarek) to secretly snitch on her unsuspecting lover’s conduct. The jaded artists hatch a plan to defect to the West in 1952 following a concert in East Berlin. But when only one of the two follows through with the plan, they end up separated. Thus unfolds Cold War, a melancholy masterpiece written and directed by Pawel Pawlikowski. His previous picture, Ida, won the Best Foreign Film Oscar in 2015. This black-and-white romance drama has deservedly landed a trio of nominations, in the Foreign Film, Director, and Cinematography categories. Between a sobering score and haunting settings, Pawlikowski has created the perfect backdrop for a maudlin postmortem contemplating the fate of a couple of star-crossed lovers. Excellent (★ ★ ★ ★). Rated R for sexuality, nudity, and profanity. In Polish, French, Russian, German, Italian, and Croatian. Running time: 89 minutes. Production Companies: Opus Films/Polish Film Institute/Film4/BFI/MK2 Films. Distributor: Amazon Studios. —Kam Williams

Hallett Helps Trigger Offense for PU Women’s Lax As it Tops Temple in Opener, Giving Sailer 400th Win

oming into the 2019 season, Kathryn Hallett knew that it was up to her to lead the midfield for the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team. “There are definitely some big shoes to fill, we graduated two really good impact starting midfielders last year,” said senior Hallett, referring to Ellie McNulty and Camille Sullivan. “We have a lot of freshmen in the lineup. In the past I have been more of a lead by example type of person. I have really been making an effort to be more vocal, giving them tips during practice.” Hallett didn’t waste time setting a very good example as eighth-ranked Princeton hosted Temple last Saturday in its season opener, scoring a goal to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead just 55 seconds into the contest. “One of my teammates set a early good pick off ball; I just saw an opening and I decided I might as well go through,” said the 5’2 Hallett, a native of Manhasset, N.Y. “You work the entire fall and preseason and you have been waiting for this moment finally to see the hard work translate into the first game.” Hallett ended up with three goals in the first half as the Tigers built a 16-8 halftime lead and then added another tally in the second half to help Princeton cruise to a 16-7 win.

“Everyone on the attack was doing really well, there was a lot of open space, working off ball, and feeding,” said Hallett, reflecting on the squad’s offensive outburst. “It is not just me, but having those three goals gave me a little confidence playing the rest of the game.” In Hallett’s view, the win over the Owls was a confidence builder for the Tigers. “A strong season opener like this will set us up for a great season moving forward,” said Hallett. “We won a lot of the draw controls in the first half so that definitely helped get the offense rolling. That was awesome.” It was an awesome day for the program as the victory marked the 400th win for longtime Princeton head coach Chris Sailer. “She is the best; she deserves more celebration than we gave her today,” said Hallett of Hall of Famer Sailer, who is only the second Division I women’s lax coach to reach 400 wins (along with Navy coach Cindy Timchal, who also coached at Northwestern and Maryland). “She is just so passionate about everything she does. She is always willing to lend a hand; her office door is always open if you ever want to watch film or ask her questions. She knows the game so well and she has been doing it for so long. She probably has the

deepest understanding of the game I have ever seen.” A beaming Sailer, for her part, was deeply moved by the postgame celebration of her achievement, which saw the current players don “400 win” T-shirts and pose for pictures with their coach with a throng of former women’s lax players in the stands cheering and waving sticks containing cardboard cutouts of Sailer’s face. “It was amazing, I just feel a lot of love right new, which is just fantastic,” said Sailer, who is in her 33rd season at the helm of the program and has posted a 400-158 record with three NCAA titles (1994, 2002, and 2003) along the way. “To see a lot of those alums in the stands, the faces on the sticks, the T-shirts, it was a hugely special moment for me. I am one of a staff of coaches. It is the kids who go out and fight hard everyday for Princeton lacrosse. It is pretty awesome to have them all back.” Sailer has enjoyed leading her kids over the last 33 years. “It is quite a milestone and it is reflective of a long career,” said Sailer, who has coached the Tigers to 14 Ivy League championships and 25 NCAA appearances. “I am so grateful that I have been able to coach at a place like Princeton that I truly love and be able to work with

amazing student athletes and fellow coaches. It reflects a lot of work, a lot of great players, a lot of fun times, and a lot of big wins that I have been fortunate to be a part of. I am really happy to reach it with this group; they are a great group of kids.” In reflecting on the win over Temple (1-2) which got three goals from former Princeton High standout Julia Ryan, Sailer saw a lot of great things. “We were on fire in the first half; we came out with such a great start,” said Sailer. “It is hard to maintain that momentum sometimes over the whole course of the game. It was our first game, their third game; I thought we did a really nice job. We talked about that beforehand to go out and play our game and try and control it right from the start. Our defense was on point for most of that game. Sam Fish (11 saves) was amazing in the cage. We really dominated the draws in the first half.” It was also a milestone day for senior attacker Elizabeth George, who tallied the 100th point in the. “It is pretty cool for Georgie to have the kind of career that she has here at Princeton,” said Sailer of George, who notched two goals and two assists on the day. “You saw her importance to us on the draw circle, She plays so hard and goes so hard. I think she is one of the top attackers in the country.” Hallett gave the Tigers some top-level play in the midfield, coming up with five draw con-

LETTING IT FLY: Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Kathryn Hallett heads upfield last Saturday as Princeton hosted Temple in its season opener. Senior midfielder Hallett tallied four goals to help the eighth-ranked Tigers prevail 16-7 and make history in the process as the victory marked the 400th career win for longtime Tiger head coach Chris Sailer. Princeton will look to keep rolling as it plays at 12th-ranked Virginia (2-0) on February 23. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) trols to go with her four goals. “Hallett is so fast, she plays with such fire,” said Sailer. “She is a pretty special player.” Junior Tess D’Orsi produced a special performance, scoring a game-high six goals. “D’Orsi is a hard kid to stop, she is so shifty and so dynamic,” said Sailer. “Her ability to finish around the cage is phenomenal.” Heading south to play at 12th-ranked Virginia (2-0) on February 23, Princeton will need to produce another dynamic performance to come

away with a win. “We have a big challenge against Virginia, no doubt,” said Sailer. “We will have to watch a lot of video the next few days, trying to get ready for them and then traveling down to Charlottesville. We are excited.” Hallett, for her part, is excited for the clash with the Cavaliers. “It has definitely been a battle,” said Hallett. “The last time we played them there it was under the lights with a big rainstorm. It will be good to get back there.” —Bill Alden

He made a big three tonight. He is out there in big moments with our veterans and coming through for us.” With Princeton hosting Cornell on February 22 and Columbia on February 23, Henderson is hoping to see his squad come through again in some big moments. “I think it is getting better everyday; tonight we got better and we know we have to carry it on,” said Henderson. “I think as long as you are playing really well in March, that is the key.” In the view of Stephens, getting better will center on paying attention to detail and showing competitive fire. “It really comes down to details and who wants it more, the grit, getting 50/50 balls, grabbing rebounds, and not fouling,” said Stephens. “It usually comes down to the end. It is rare that someone goes off for 30 and that is a big difference. It is usually the small details.” —Bill Alden

Town Topics a Princeton tradition! ®

est. 1946

Karlie Lund didn’t want to leave the ice at Hobey Baker Rink last Saturday evening after the Princeton University women’s hockey team hosted Rensselaer in its final regular season home game. Senior forward and cocaptain Lund and her classmates lingered on the rink after the program held its annual Senior Day ceremony, cavorting with each other and family members, skating back and forth and posing for a number of pictures. Even though fifth-ranked Princeton had just lost 2-1 to Rensselaer, that didn’t put a damper on the festivities honoring the Class of 2019 “Senior weekend was great despite the loss; it is about celebrating all the seniors, their families, and our time here at Princeton,” said Lund, a native of Eden Prairie, Minn. “I am so grateful that I have been able to spend four years here and just to have my family here to celebrate

with them and each other and just reflect on the four years.” Lund’s classmates on the team, Stephanie Sucharda, Kimiko Marinacci, and Keiko DeClerck, have become family for her. “The biggest thing is going to be the relationships I have developed with my fellow seniors, they are three of my best friends,” said Lund, noting that Sucharda is her co-captain while Marinacci and DeClerck are serving as assistant captains. “I think we are going to stay in touch after graduation and always be rooting for each other and rooting for Princeton, no matter how many years out we are.” The Tiger seniors are going out with a big final campaign, having won the Ivy League title, set a program record with a 20-game unbeaten streak, and currently sitting in first place in the ECAC Hockey stands at 18-4-5 overall and 15-2-3 ECACH.

Last Saturday, senior forward and co-captain Lund chipped in an assist in a losing cause cause as Princeton fell 2-1 to visiting Rensselaer.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

“This year, winning the Ivy league was huge,” said Lund. “We won it coming in as freshmen. I don’t think we really realized how important that is and how hard it is to win that. So to go out on that top note this senior year and be undefeated in the Ivy League was another great memory to have with my teammates.” The family feeling throughout the squad has helped sparked the Tigers. “I would say the biggest thing is that we have really become a family over the past couple of months,” maintained Lund. “Our team chemistry is great this year; I would say that it is the best it has been in my four years here.” Things didn’t go as well Saturday in the defeat to Rensselaer as the Tigers outshot the Engineers 58-22 only to to come up short by one goal. “We definitely peppered t heir goalie [ L ov isa S e lander] with a ton of shots,” said Lund, who assisted on Princeton’s lone goal in the contest. “We are known for being an offensive team. It was great to see that we got a lot of shots. Their goalie just played amazing; we have to give her a lot of credit. She is probably one of the best goalies in the nation. It is tough to see that we couldn’t put another one there. We were pretty close.” Over her four years with the Princeton program, Lund has put up a lot of points, tallying 53 goals and 73 assists. “I have played with some tremendous players; I started out freshman year with Cassidy Tucker and Morgan Sly and they really helped me,” said the 5’10 Lund, who has eight goals and 13 assists so far this season. “I fed them and they fed me; we played off of each other. In the past three years, playing with Carly Bullock, we went to high school together so we always know where each are on the ice. Just being able to help Princeton succeed any way possible was what I was hoping to accomplish here during my time. The fact that I have been able to get on the score sheet a few times is really nice.” The Tigers have been a scoring machine this winter, averaging 3.7 goals a game,

outscoring its foes 100-50 in the process. “We have a great freshman class that has really b e e n cont r ibu t i n g ; t h at helps us because we can get scoring on any line,” said Lund, referring to the one-two punch of freshman phenoms Sarah Fillier and Maggie Connors, who have notched 47 and 37 points, respectively. “In past years, we have relied on a few key players, but this year, anyone can score. You can see it on the scoresheet; we have so many players that are in double digit points. It is hard to defend us; you can’t really pick one player or one line to defend. I think has been our biggest advantage so hopefully we can keep that going.” With Princeton playing at Clarkson on February 22 and at St. Lawrence on February 23 to wrap up regular season play, Lund is hoping the Tigers can go out with a sweep and bring some momentum into the ECACH playoffs. “We are still in first place in the ECAC, which is something that we are trying to achieve; we are trying to host the Final 4 for the ECAC,” said Lund. “We are focusing on the little things, on our habits, and really just trying to enjoy the moment and realize our potential. I believe this team could win the national championship. We have the talent, we have the team chemistry. It is just about how the puck bounces that game and if we are playing as a team.” —Bill Alden

Triggered by Nelson’s Offensive Production, Hun Boys’ Hockey Tops PHS, Wins 6th MCT strived to be the captain since freshman year,” said Nelson. “I have looked up to some great captains. I definitely try to lead by example and be the go-to guy there. It has been a great experience.” It was great for Hun to keep its MCT title streak alive. “It means everything; we looked forward to this from the ver y beginning of the year,” said Nelson. “C om i ng out h ere w it h these boys, we have become brothers this year.” Hun head coach McNally liked the ways his boys bonded as they dealt with playing shorthanded in the final. “It gave us some of our spark to the guys to get up and feel that they have ownership of the game,” said McNally. “Maybe it wouldn’t have if everybody showed up. It made everybody else play better and care more and all of a sudden, I better do my job or I am going to be the one that makes us lose instead of before they will take care of it if something goes wrong.” McNally ack nowledged that there were some uneasy moments early in the title game as PHS carried the play for much of the first period. “The first couple of minutes, I don’t believe of guys truly believed it was going to happen; it was one too many guys missing and we were double-shifting centers,” recalled McNally. “Even on the bench we were holding our breath. Sometimes you can tell if they they think they are going to be able to do it. Once we got some goals, that changed.” Nelson scored to give Hun a 1-0 lead and then after PHS knotted the game at 1-1, Chris Brake and Eddie Evaldi found the back of the net to give Hun a 3-1 lead at the end of the first period. The Raiders outscored the Tigers 5-2 in the second period to break the game open In McNally’s view, junior star Evaldi played a key role in Hun’s surge. “He has a

Even before Brian Nelson joined the Hun School boys’ hockey program, he had visions of taking a leading role in a run to the Mercer County Tournament championship. “I was in 7th grade and I went to the title game and I remember seeing t hat crowd,” recalled Nelson, who attended William Penn Middle School before coming to Hun in the fall of 2015. “I can’t wait to be that guy.” Nelson had to be patient, though, playing a supporting role in his first three seasons with the program as standouts like Kyle Mandleur and Blake Brown led the Raiders to MCT titles. Coming into the 2018-19 campaign, Nelson was ready to assume a starring role. “This summer I was working my tail off, just working on my shot because I knew I had to step up since we were losing Kyle Mandleur, who had 50 goals last year,” said Nelson. “I knew from the very start of the year that I had to be the guy who puts the puck in the net. It has been clicking; it has been the best year of my career so far. It is great timing.” Last Friday in the MCT final against Princeton, it was Nelson’s time as he scored three goals to lead the topseeded Raiders to a 9-4 win over second-seeded PHS to earn the program’s sixth straight county crown. Nelson was named the tournament MVP for his heroics. “It is an amazing, I would not have thought this freshman year, getting an MVP,” said 5’11 forward Nelson. “I have really grown a lot here as a player. It is all thanks to coach [ Ian McNally] and some great guys who have come through the program.” Nelson has enjoyed a great senior campaign, tallying 50 points on 24 goals and 26 assists. “Right from the start, I was getting all of the bounces going my way,” said Nelson. “After they first month or so, I knew I was going to keep it going because my confidence was through the roof. Playing with guys like Matt Argentina and Eddie Evaldi, those guys can find you wherever on the ice. It is great playing with them.” Although Hun didn’t have all of its guys for the finals as goalie Jackson Cole and for wards Matt Argentina and Nicholas Ramsey didn’t take the ice, Nelson sensed that the Raiders would rise to the occasion. “We have had a couple of games this year where we had some guys missing and we had some big wins,” said Nelson. “We knew we had it in us with this group for sure. We just had to dig down, play our system, hope we could a couple of bounces and get off to a quick lead. We played well.” In addition to his offensive product ion, Nelson has stepped up as a leader, serving as team captain this winter. “That was something that I take a lot of pride in; I have

He does it everyday in practice all of the time.” Freshman backup goalie Jack Borek did what he needed to do, standing tall early as Hun was outshot 14-8 in the first 15 minutes of the contest. “In the first period, it was all Jack,” said McNally of Borek who made 33 saves on the evening. “At intermission we said ‘let’s not make him do that again; he already did his job for us.’” After holding the fort, Hun shifted into high gear in the second period. “It changed with the goals, I think they lost confidence in their defensive abilities,” said McNally. “We have a couple of high end guys in Evaldi and Aidan [McDowell].

Stuart Basketball Producing Historic February, Winning 2nd Prep B Title, Making MCT Semis After enduring some tough times in January, the Stuart Country Day School basketball team is enjoying a fantastic February. “There were a lot of losses, our record was approaching .500,” said Stuart head coach Justin Leith, whose team went 4-5 in January as it faced a gauntlet of formidable foes. “We knew going into it that it was going to be difficult. We were able get better even during our weakest moments and darkest times.” Last week in the state Prep B tournament, secondseeded Stuart experienced some very good times, topping third-seeded Academy of St. Elizabeth 82-72 in the semis on February 11 and then going on the road to play top-seeded Morristown-

Beard in the final and pulling out a 71-63 win for the program’s second straight Prep B crown. In Leith’s view, defensive intensity helped make the difference for the Tartans. “Both teams had great shooters, St Elizabeth was great and Morristown-Beard was even better,” said Leith. “If you pull out a shot chart or look at their field goals player to player, they shoot a majority of 3s. We preach elbow above shoulder on every close out; we believe that wears on a three-point shoot ing team over t he course of the game. A good team is going to make shots but having to deal with that every time, we believe that we can overcome that great shooting.” In overcoming Mo-Beard,

the Tar tans forced some turnovers in a pivotal stretch of the second quarter to turn the tide in their favor as they outscored Mo-Bears 23-16 in the period to take a 39-33 lead at halftime. “They had done their research, they had watched film and on one of our zone presses usually people put someone in the middle but they put someone higher up,” said Leith. “Catherine Martin (sophomore forward) sensed it before I did so we were able to get a few steals and really extend the lead in the second quarter.” Senior star forward BeyShana Clark came up big in the title game, scoring 17 points and grabbing six rebounds. “Bey has picked the perfect time to really come alive and has played her best basketball at Stuart,” asserted Leith. “We are constantly looking for ways to get her the ball. When the focus becomes on Bey, she knows how to kick the ball out. She is selfless; that is what is great about her.” St uar t’s le t ha l i ns ide out game was in evidence agains t t he Cr imson as sophomore forward Laila Fair tallied 16 points while sophomore guards Nia Melvin and Aleah James contributed 14 and 13 points, respectively. “We were able to adjust to what they were doing; it makes it difficult for teams to just focus on one thing,”

said Leith. “We have so many weapons.” W hile ear ning the title repeat was a big thing for the Tartans, Leith believes it reflects a focus on winning across the board for the school’s teams. “It is a testament to where Stuar t is, not just as a basketball team but athletically,” said Leith. “You look at our track team, field hockey in the fall, and lacrosse is going to be a big-time eye opener to everyone. It is really a revival of Stuart athletics. Basketball is a part of that and the back-to-back piece is just awesome but there is certainly synergy among the teams. We are a small s cho ol a n d t h e coach e s share a lot of athletes. The culture has changed ; the expectations of work and

winning has changed in a good way for everybody to be all in.” Stuart will be all in as it pursues a title in the Merce r C ou nt y Tou r n a m e nt this week, where it is seeded third and topped sixthseeded Trenton 69-43 last Saturday in a quarterfinal contest. “We did a good job of controlling the pace and making them work on defense instead of mak ing it only and up and down game when they want it to be,” said Leith, reflecting on the win over the Tornadoes which saw Melvin score 20 points and James and Clark both add 14 as the team improved to 17-9 overall and 5-1 in February. “It was up and down in our favor. T hey were a dangerous team but we

were able to take care of business.” The Tartans will now look to take care of business in the semis against secondseeded Pennington, a team that beat them 54-53 on November 30 and 57-37 on January 9. “I think it will be a really tight game and a fun one for the girls at the arena i n Trenton,” s a id L eit h, whose squad was slated to face the Red Raiders in the MCT semis on February 19 with the victor advancing to the title game on February 21 at the CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton. “Our two goals this year were to w in the Prep Bs and make a trip to the arena. We have accomplished both of those and we hope to continue.” —Bill Alden

With the Princeton High girls’ basketball team trailing Allentown 23-22 entering the fourth quarter of their Mercer County Tournament opener last Thursday, Anna Intartaglia took matters into her hands. PHS senior guard Intartaglia drained a three-pointer from the corner in the first possession of the quarter to give the seventh-seeded Tigers a 25-23 lead over the 10th-seeded Redbirds. “I feel like threes are always a huge momentum shift, especially when someone hits one at a time like that,” said Intartaglia. “It was really cool.” PHS never trailed after Intartaglia’s three, pulling away to a 37-30 win, a victory that was particularly sweet since the Tigers had lost to Allentown 40-30 on January 18. “There were a couple of quarters in the first game where we struggled a little bit,” said Intartaglia. “We went through some

droughts, so today we just wanted to keep our intensity up the entire game and just stick with it and I think we did a really good job of it. In this game we were just so focused and wanted it so badly. I think the fourth quarter and coming back really showed that.” In addition to her clutch shooting, Intartaglia assisted on a pair of key three-pointers in the quarter by classmate Erin Devine, who was returning to action after being sidelined by a leg injury. “Erin hit a bunch; that was really helpful,” said Intartaglia, who contributed six points, four assists, and two steals on the evening. “Once she hit there first one I knew they would fall for her today. She came back; she has been working so hard.” Intar taglia also helped lead the defensive charge for PHS, putting the clamps on Allentown star guard Lauren Coliante, holding her to two points. “She is a very good player,

she is very talented,” said Intartaglia of Coliante. “We have focused on our defense the entire season. We have really wanted to focus on being the best defense in the county so today we just wanted to prove that.” The senior-laden Tigers desperately wanted to advance in the county tourney. “It is so important; we have played them before in the MCTs and have lost pretty badly,” said Intartaglia, who is joined in the starting lineup by her twin sister Olivia along with classmates Catherine Dyevich, Devine, and junior Shaylah Marciano. “It is really nice to get this win senior year.” PHS head coach Dave Kosa liked the way his team grew from its previous loss to Allentown. “In the locker after the first time we played them, we had a heart-to-heart,” recalled Kosa, who got 13 points from Dyevich in the win with Devine adding 11. “We had our shot; we lost our poise in the first game. Today, we were home which helped. It was just keeping our poise, making sure that we didn’t turn the ball over and not force anything. These are going to be lowscoring games and we just grinded it out.” The presence of Devine was key for the Tigers. “Having Erin back was big,” said Kosa. “That really gave us some momentum and confidence, knowing that we had her.” Intartaglia’s intensity also helped give PHS momentum. “She has just continued to work hard, she hasn’t been shooting the ball that well lately, but she continues to work hard in practice,” said Kosa. “She is always the first one in and the last one to leave. It paid off today with a couple of big ones.” Being home was big for the Tigers as they been sent on the road in their last three MCT first round games, losing all three by large margins. “It is big for them, we have really have had a great season up until this point, but it is tournament time now,” said Kosa. “This is a new season for us. We worked hard to get to this point. We got ourselves a home game, we took advantage of that.” While PHS fell 66-50 at second-seeded Pennington in the MCT quarters on Saturday to move to 15-7, the Tigers still have work to do as they will be starting play in the state tournament next week. “This is the time to put it together,” said Kosa, whose team will be competing in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional, where it is seeded fourth and slated to host 13th-seeded Long Branch in a first round contest on February 25. “That senior group is relying upon one another, they are trusting one another.

After Making 3rd Straight Trip to MCT Final, PHS Boys’ Hockey Aiming for a Big States Run Having split its two regular season meetings against Notre Dame, the Princeton High boys’ hockey team looked forward to getting a rubber match with the Irish in the Mercer County Tournament semifinals last Wednesday. “We were excited to get another crack at them,” said PHS junior star defenseman Rocco Salvato. “We just wanted to get off to a hot start, that was key.” Salvato helped the second-seeded Tigers get off to a hot start against thirdseeded Notre Dame at the Mercer County Park rink, slotting the puck across the crease to classmate Aidan Trainor, who banged it home to give PHS a 1-0 lead 4:12 into the contest. “We want to do that every game and today it worked out,” said Salvato, reflecting on the early tally. “Aidan is always in the best place and I love it when I find him there; it was a good goal. Everyone was coming into the zone at the same time, so I had plenty of options.” The Tigers kept scoring goals, building their advantage to 5-1 early in the second period. “We are all still getting comfortable with each other; it is not really the longest season, so right now would be where we are peaking

and really turning on the offense,” said Salvato. Things got a little uncomfortable for PHS as Notre Dame rallied to narrow the lead to 7-5 midway through the third period, but the Tigers added a late goal to clinch an 8-5 victory and a spot in the MCT title game “We just didn’t want to let up, we wanted to keep doing what we were doing,” said Salvato, reflecting on a game which saw him chip in two assists with Trainor tallying three goals and three assists. “Notre Dame turned it on at points. We are just lucky that we weathered it.” Salvato and his teammates felt lucky to get another shot at a county crown as they faced top-seeded Hun for a third consecutive time in the county final on Friday. “We have been there before and we wanted to be here again and here we are, so we have got to give it our all,” said Salvato. “It is going to take one of our best games of the season and I think we are prepared to give them that. We have been looking forward to it all season.” While PHS gave Hun some early scares in the final, outshooting the Raiders 14-8 in the first period, it found itself trailing 3-1 after one. In the second period, Hun took control of the game, outscoring the Tigers 5-2

in the frame on the way to a 9-4 win and their sixth straight county crown. In reflecting on his squad’s run to the MCT final, PHS head coach Tim Chase liked the scoring balance he is seeing from his players as the season has gone on. “We have been focusing the last couple of weeks on just getting the puck on net, finally we are getting some rebound goals,” said Chase, whose team got points from seven different players in the win over Notre Dame a n d t h e n ge n er ate d 37 shots in the final with Keith Goldberg scoring two goals and Calvin Rogers and John Zammit adding one apiece. “I don’t think we have had rebound goals much at all this year. We have been too fancy; it was nice to get some ugly ones.” Having made two straight r uns to the Public state semis, PHS will be looking to rebound from the loss to Hun as it starts action in the state tourney this week. “We definitely have more energy, a little more jump,” said Chase, whose team is seeded sixth in the Public B tournament and will be hosting 11th-seeded Jackson Memorial in a semifinal contest on February 21 at ProSkate in Monmouth Junction. “Early on in the year because we don’t practice a lot, we were a little flat. I think we are playing pretty well right now.” —Bill Alden

Linko was joined by Raina Williamson, Kendall Williamson and Gabby Goddard in the quartet which clocked a time of 4:05.46. For good measure, Linko’s 200 meter time from earlier this season (26.18) also qualified her for the 200 meter “showcase” at the Meet of Champions.

B or n i n Wa r s aw, Po land, Lily spent most of her childhood in Bangalore, India, with her Polish mother and Indian father.

A celebration of Lily’s life will be held on February 23, 2019 at 3:30 p.m. at the Institute of Advanced Study, 1 Einstein Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540, and all who knew and loved Lily are most welcome.

Negotiations - buying and selling home is personal and can sometimes influence your negotiating skills. It is key to have a seasoned professional with a neutral view to facilitate the negotiations. Matchmaking - there are times when an agent can make a match before a home comes to market. Beneficial to both sides, the seller does not have to market their home and the buyer does not have any competition. Paperwork - a professionally prepared offer with proper documentation adds value to an offer. Problem solving - in the event an inspection reveals the need for repairs to the property an agent can assist in the analysis of what is reasonable to ask for and have the transaction proceed. They know the inventory and can show you homes that check the most boxes for your must have list. Getting to the closing table is more likely as you have a second set of eyes on title, financing and contingencies written into a contract.

Hiring a trusted ally to help you through this process will serve you well and get you to your goal of that new home.
