Triumph Brewery Move To Palmer Square Site Comes Under Review Plans for Triumph Brewery to move from Nassau Street into the former U.S. Post Office branch on Palmer Square are inching closer to reality. Last week, Princeton’s Site Plan Review Advisory Board (SPRAB) met to review LCOR Ventures’ proposal for Triumph to operate a 300-seat restaurant at the site. The main entrance would be on Palmer Square East, where the former loading dock was located. SPRAB approved the plan, with certain reservations, and referred it to the Planning Board, which will consider the issue next month. In the meantime, the Princeton Environmental Commission is scheduled to review the proposal on June 26, and the town’s Historical Commission will discuss the plan on June 30. SPRAB, which includes architects Rob Cerutti and William Wolfe among its members, was enthusiastic about the submitted design. But worries about where diners would park were paramount. “All of us on SPRAB had a concern about parking,” said Mr. Cerutti, who is vice-chair of the board. “How do you put a 300-seat restaurant in the middle of town and not address that?” Jack West, Princeton’s land use engineer, said that concern was shared by the municipal staff. According to those representing the proposal, the site’s proximity to three parking garages would take care of the parking requirements. It has been nearly four years since California businessman David Eichler won the bidding for the landmark property, which served as Princeton’s post office for 78 years before moving to 259 Nassau Street in 2015. Plans for Triumph Brewery to be housed in the space were announced last year. Several issues, involving easements encroaching on municipal property and protected state park land, have stalled final approval of the deal. Mr. Eichler has said the historic look of the building will be retained. The former post office is listed on the state and national registers of historic places. A 1939 mural on one wall, “America Under the Palms” by Karl Free, has inspired controversy over the years because of the way it depicts Native Americans. It will remain on display and be incorporated into the design of the restaurant.

Parties Plan for High-Stakes Fall Elections In the wake of the June 6 primary contests, both Democrats and Republicans are gearing up for the November general elections, with the New Jersey governor’s race in the spotlight and state Senate and Assembly seats also up for grabs. Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) President Owen O’Donnell urged Democrats to rally behind nominee Phil Murphy, who won Princeton only narrowly over PCDO-endorsed John Wisniewski in the primary, but triumphed handily in the statewide vote. “There were high feelings on numerous sides,” Mr. O’Donnell noted, “but now is the time for all Democrats to work together to elect Phil Murphy.” Mr. O’Donnell went on to emphasize, “This election is going to be very important and high profile. It is often said that New Jersey has the most powerful governor in the country. Virginia is the only other state electing a governor this fall. This election will be a measure of the activism of the Democratic Party since November. We hope to turn that activism into votes. The New Jersey governor will have a lot to say in the face of the Trump presidency.”
Also noting the importance of other elections in the state, Mr. O’Donnell noted, “With a Democratic governor and Democratic Senate and Assembly, New Jersey can start leading the way in resistance to the Trump agenda.” State Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno, who narrowly defeated Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli in the Republican primary, will be running against Mr. Murphy, former Goldman Sachs executive and
ambassador to Germany in the Obama administration. A local favorite, Mr. Ciattarelli prevailed easily among Princeton voters. “I was disappointed with the outcome of the Republican primary,” said Princeton Republican Committee Chair Dudley Siprelle, who supported Mr. Ciattarelli. “I thought Jack was far and away the most qualified candidate, Democrat or Continued on Page 8
Black Bear Seen Making the Rounds Of Princeton and Lawrence Neighborhoods A black bear has been showing up on local streets during the past few days. A five-second video of the bear romping down Campbelton Road is posted on the Facebook page of the Princeton Police Department, as is information about what to do, and what not to do, in the event of an encounter. “He’s a little guy, but bears are deceptively strong,” said Sergeant Frederick R. Williams, spokesman for the Princeton Police Department. “He’s just been running around in the open as opposed
to staying in the woods. It’s probably the same bear that was taking a dip in a Lawrenceville swimming pool.” That bear was spotted last weekend in several Lawrence neighborhoods, and was filmed emerging from a backyard swimming pool on Coach Drive. The bear has been observed on Winant Road near the Hun School, and at Constitution Hill on Rosedale Road and Elm Road. Police believe it is moving in a southeasterly direction. “He came out Continued on Page 8

Mercer will offer a FirstTime Homebuyer Program workshop on Wednesday, June 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System, 2751 Brunswick Pike, Lawrence. “Mercer County is again offering assistance to potential homeowners through our First-Time Homebuyer Program, and I invite you to sit in on this workshop to learn more about the lending process,” said Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes. Workshop participants can learn how the mortgage process works, and participating lenders will be on hand to guide applicants and provide answers. First-time homebuyers may be eligible to obtain down payment and closing cost assistance through the program. Eligibility for assistance is based on family size and income, and lenders will help determine mortgage eligibility based on income, credit rating, and current monthly expenses. To receive assistance through the Mercer County First-Time Homebuyer Program, applicants must participate in a Homebuyer Training Course, cannot have owned a home within the past three years — unless that person is a single parent or displaced homemaker — and cannot own other real estate at the time of closing.

Ash Borer Meets Chemical Michael Resistance Graves From Princeton’s Adopt-an-Ash&Program architecture DesiGn
A 50-year-old white ash bench at Nassau and Mercer behind the War Memorial Streets last Wednesday became Princeton’s first street tree to receive the chemical resistance necessary to attack the invasive emerald ash borer (EAB).
and Alexandra Radbil of the STC, and Scott Tapp, local manager of Bartlett Tree Experts, all observed as Bartlett plant health care specialist Jason Bond began treatment of the War Memorial ash. He drilled 12 entry points along the base of the tree, inserted small metal tubes, and pumped insecticide into the tree. The procedure lasted 15 minutes, with the injections Thanks to its recent “life- as close as possible to the of-the-tree” adoption by Continued on Next Page Bartlett Tree Experts, the healthy ash was injected with the protective insecticide, emamectin benzoate, a treatment that has been effective in the Midwest. The Princeton Shade Tree Commission (STC), as part of its ongoing Adopt-an-Ash program, is seeking contributions from organizations, r ewww.princetonmagazinestore.com sidents, and student groups; with contribution checks made out to STC Tree Fund and mailed to One Monument Drive, Princeton, NJ, 08540. According to Princeton Arborist Lorraine Konopka, if approvals are received from Princeton Council, additional candidate trees in the public right of way and possibly some park areas will be injected with amamectin benzoate. The material is injected and therefore contained inside the tree, minimizing any exposure to the technician doing the work or the general public. First sighted in Princeton in August 2015, the EAB is expected, within five to ten years, to kill all of Princeton’s approximately 2,000 ash trees if untreated — 11 percent of the town’s tree population. “The public is only gradually becoming aware of the magnitude of the EAB problem,” warned Pat Hyatt of the STC. “The distressed treetops you see as you drive around Princeton and look up may well be ash trees with branches likely to crash downward on the unsuspecting. Citizens are invited, make that urged, to adopt an ash to assist in saving the still-healthy trees we hope can be preserved.” L a s t We d n e s d a y M s . Konopka, Patricia Frawley

soil line so that moisture absorbed by the roots would d i s t r ibu te t h e ch e m i c a l evenly up the trunk to the tree canopy, where the EAB feeds. Absorbed insecticide reaches the uppermost foliage and twigs, which are the primary food source for the destructive beetles. Without treatment, the EAB would feed on the leaves, lay the eggs that become the larvae that live under the bark, and feed on the plant tissue, killing the tree. By the time signs of EAB presence are more easily visible, treatment would be too late, as the larvae infestation would have moved further and further down the trunk.
The easier it is to detect EAB damage, the harder it is to treat because the infestation will have spread throughout the tree. Not every ash is a good candidate for rescue. Ms. Konopka examined the War Memorial ash tree and determined that it was healthy, with no signs of EAB infestation. The next treatment for the ash is scheduled for spring 2019, and, in the meantime, Bartlett will inspect, prune, and perform soil tests to determine what kind of fertilization is needed to maintain the tree’s health. If a tree is already infested, removal may be the best option. “If removal is the best option,” Ms. Konopka said, “it’s safer to remove
now rather than later. The removal is more complicated and dangerous if the tree is dead.” Treat ments cou ld cost hundreds of dollars, depending on the size of the tree (between $10 and $15 per diameter inch), and must be administered every two to three years. Property owners should be sure the tree company they are working with has a current and valid NJDEP Commercial Pesticide Applicators License, and the business should be registered with Princeton to work in town. Further information on treating ash trees on private property can be found at the Shade Tree Commission website, www.princetonshadetree.org. —Donald Gilpin

Artifacts found recently on the Princeton Battlefield, including rifle balls and buckshot, period buttons, brass buckles, and an iron axe head, are helping to shed light on the events of January 3, 1777. An archeological and historical study just completed by the Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS) and its consultants, archeologist Wade Cat ts of Commonwealth Heritage Associates and historian Robert Selig, did not yet find an anticipated mass burial site, but they will be carrying out additional investigations in the coming months. In total 98 objects were found, and the 122-page repor t, summarized in a well-attended presentation in the main room of Monument Hall last week, was able to reach a number of conclusions about details of the battle. “Princeton as a battle site is one of the most important of the war, and it’s important to do anything that can be done so that future generations can understand it better,” Mr. Catts said. He noted the large gathering last week and the high level of interest and excitement. “The immediacy of touching physical evidence of the past is very exciting,” he added. “It was heartening to me to have a 14-year-old boy come up and say he was interested and he’d like to be involved. You can learn about the past from objects and artifacts. They show you
that the American Revolution is not something that has just gone away. There’s still a lot of interest.” Mr. Catts pointed out that the physical evidence of the battle that took place 240 years ago is not extensive, “but it’s significant archeological evidence.” The rifle balls and buckshot were definitely fired from American weapons of different types and sizes, he added, and the balls had been flattened from impact. These findings provide evidence of the British ret re at, accord i ng to Mr. Catts. “We were working on the D’Ambrisi property,” he said, “and what we found depicts the retreat of the British, with the Americans on the ridge firing down on the British as they were running. There is archeological evidence of this retreat.” The buttons and brass buckles found were also from the period; they could be trouser buttons, vest buttons, overcoat buttons, or accoutrement buttons; and are probably related to the battle. Mr. Catts and his research team are looking forward to further testing and historical research later this summer in hopes of finding the burial site. Behind the colonnade, Mr. Catts described, there is a large “anomaly” in the ground, an irregularity in the formation of the earth, 20 feet by 10-15 feet by 4-5 feet, that he thinks could be a large burial trench. The PBS is currently seeking the
required approvals for excavating that anomaly. References from oral historical research and local histories indicate a burial site, and near the colonnade there is a medallion, placed in 1918, which states, “near here lie buried the American and British officers and soldiers who fell in the Battle of Princeton, January 3, 1777.” Additional historical research reported by Mr. Catts and Mr. Selig provided further evidence of the location of the Saw Mill Road and of the controversial role of Colonel Nicholas Haussegger, who was supposedly court martialed for trying to surrender his regiment to the British. Mr. Catts noted that research findings, including Native American artifacts from as far back as 800 to 1,000 years before the Battle of Princeton, suggest that there are many stories to be told from other eras in the history of Princeton and its battlefield. —Donald Gilpin

far east as The Lewis School and the Y,” Mr. Williams said. “Most of the public schools are still in session, so we’ve notified them and the Central Business District. But if the bear is just acting like a bear, which is known as a category three, there is nothing really to worry about.” Still, there are precautions to be taken. “It’s really kind of simple, a common sense kind of thing,” Mr. Williams said. “One thing the Division
of Fish and Wildlife says to do that might give people pause is to make noise, like clapping. Alert the bear of your presence. Don’t feed the bear. And you don’t want to track it around and follow it, because it may begin to think you’re a threat.” Native to New Jersey, black bears are the largest land mammals in the Garden State. Their prime habitat consists of mixed hardwood forests, dense swamps, and forested wetlands. June and July are peak breeding season. Adult females average
175 pounds, while the males average 400 pounds, according to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Fish and Wildlife. For more information, visit www.state. nj.us/dep/fgw/pdf/bear/ bearfacts_know.pdf. Anyone who sees a bear should report it to the police department. “People have been calling to let us know, and that’s always good,” Mr.Williams said. “That way we can track it and see where it’s heading.” —Anne Levin
Republican. Jack was a relative outsider with fresh ideas and a detailed platform best suited to rescue taxpayers from New Jersey’s sorry financial situation. He presented as well a credible plan to rebuild the New Jersey Republican Party and return it to relevance.” Dick Woodbridge, former Princeton Township mayor and Borough Council member for 11 years, was less surprised by the disparity between the Princeton vote and the statewide outcome. “It shouldn’t be a surprise that Ciattarelli won the Princeton vote. He has represented this district in the state assembly, and both Democrats and Republicans have a high regard for him. Kim is more of a statewide figure. Ciattarelli is less well known outside his assembly district.” Leaders of both parties predicted a spirited campaign with voters influenced by President Trump, current New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and even former New Jersey Governor John Corzine. “The Republicans have their work cut out for them,” said Mr. Woodbridge. “Trump will definitely be an
influence on this election. It will be a challenging race for Republicans statewide.” Criticizing Ms. Guadagno’s ties to Governor Christie, Mr. O’Donnell pointed out, “Guadagno has been lieutenant governor for eight years. What does she have to show for it? She’s riding on the coattails of Chris Christie. That’s the legacy she has to face.” And the Republican leaders did not hesitate to link Mr. Murphy to Mr. Christie’s predecessor Mr. Corzine. “Murphy here conjures up the image of Corzine,” Mr. Woodbridge said in explaining Princeton’s support for Mr. Wisniewski. “That’s a bit of a turn-off for local Democrats, who are a good bit more democratic, more in the Bernie Sanders image.” More direct in his disdain for Mr. Murphy’s candidacy, Mr. Sipprelle stated, “As for the Democratic primary, suffice it to say that we saw a return to the disastrous formula of a Wall Street insider essentially buying the nomination for governor. We know how that turned out the last time it happened.” Locally both Democrats and Republicans are looking forward to supporting New Jersey Legislative District 16 candidates, with Republican
incumbent Kip Bateman running against Democrat Laurie Poppe for state Senate and Democrats Roy Freiman and incumbent Andrew Zwicker running against Republicans Mark Caliguire and Donna Simon for the state Assembly. The PCDO announced this week that they will be opening Democratic headquarters for Legislative District 16 at 166 Bunn Drive in a celebration on Sunday, June 25 at 5 p.m. Running unopposed for Princeton Town Council on the November ballot will be Democrats David Cohen and Leticia Fraga. As partisan conflict continues to characterize national politics and will certainly be heating up emotions in the ongoing New Jersey governor’s race, Mr. Woodbridge offered a different perspective. “The polarization, especially on the national level, is sad,” he said. “The only way you can win elections is to appeal to a broader base in a non-partisan way. And you have to be effectively nonpartisan when you get elected. Pot holes don’t have any political affiliation. You need people who can look beyond the partisan issues.” —Donald Gilpin

At a meeting on June 12, Pr inceton Council voted unanimously in favor of an ordinance to better address the grow ing problem of stormwater runoff. This was welcome news to members of the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, the Princeton Environmental Commission, Sustainable Princeton, Friends of Princeton Open Space, and others concerned with the increasing threat of major storms and the rise in developments that turn the ground into hard surfaces that don’t absorb water. But the ordinance is only the first phase of action that environmentalists say must be taken in order to tackle the issue. “The passing of Princeton’s stormwater ordinance is a significant step forward to begin addressing these stormwater challenges,” said Molly Jones, executive director of Sustainable Princeton, this week. “This ordinance addresses stormwater for new construction. The next step is to address redevelopment. Here in Princeton, much of our development is redevelopment rather than new. The next step could have an even more significant impact. But you’ve got to take it piece by piece.” Jim Waltman, executive director of the Stony BrookMillstone Watershed Association, expressed similar sentiments. “What Princeton has done is take a big step forward,” he said. “It puts them in the top ten percent of the state in addressing this problem, and in a more rigorous way than what the state requires. The next step is to try to start addressing the existing problem.” The ordinance harmonizes stormwater regulations from the former Borough and Township. It redefines the definition of minor and major subdivisions, and creates a yearly $50 permit for inspections of any stormwater system within a major subdivision. For every 400 square feet, two gallons of storage must be provided in the form of dry wells, rain gardens, or similar systems. A major source of water contamination is polluted stormwater runoff, which can be tainted by the pesticides and fertilizers spread on lawns, as well as gas and antifreeze that are spilled from cars. “Leaks from failing septic systems and broken sewer pipes, waste from
pets, soap from washing cars, and road salt spreads on roads, driveways, and sidewalks add to the problem,” reads a release from the Watershed Association. “Stormwater runoff is the number one cause of water pollution and flooding,” Mr. Waltman told Council during the public comment portion of last week’s meeting. “The leading issue is the issue of redevelopment. Princeton is a mat u re com mu n it y where much of the impervious surface was laid down long before we knew it was a problem.” S ophie G lov ier of t he Princeton Environmental Commission said this week that most people associate water pollution with factories and industrial sites. “But stormwater runoff is the number one contributor to pollution in our water,” she said. “Between 1995 and 2012, the amount of impervious surface in our watershed increased 30 percent. I am a big open space person, and I walk the trails all the time. You can really see the erosion in our stream banks. The ground just can’t absorb it all, and it gets funneled into our streams. The banks start eroding, and that causes big problems.” Not everyone was happy with the ordinance. Architect Joshua Zinder said he considers himself an environmentalist, but believes “there are still conflicts, ambiguities, and missed opportunities within the ordinance as it stands now,” he told Council. The ordinance puts a financial burden on the homeowner, he continued, suggesting tax relief for those who install green roofs, rain gardens, or similar systems. “T h is is anot her c as e of providing a blanket ordinance across our town which is made up of neighborhoods of different densities, scales, and impervious coverage,” Mr. Zinder concluded. “WitherspoonJackson is not the same as Riverside. This ordinance is all stick and no carrot. We should be progressive and incentivize sustainable strategies and provide opportunities for homeowners to improve their homes and our neighborhoods … and not punish taxpayers with undue restrictions for issues that we are unwilling to confront as a municipality.”
On October 18, a panel discussion will be held at Princeton Public Library to help homeowners understand and cope with the stormwater runoff issue. A local architect, a landscape architect, and a representative of the Watershed Association will be among those on the panel. “It’s a real example of collaboration by the town’s staff, the Watershed, the Princeton Environmental Commission, and Sustainable Princeton,” said Ms. Glovier. “We’re really coming at this in a very coordinated way, which will help everybody.” —Anne Levin

Rock Brook School Hosts Open House
On May 19, t he Rock Bro ok S cho ol ( R B S ) i n Skillman hosted its Third Annual Family Night/Community Open House.

The only major change to the building is the renovation of the former loading dock, which will be replaced by a glass entrance. “They are doing a great improvement to the Palmer Square East facade,” said Mr. Cerutti. “The whole design is fairly tastefully done. We had suggestions on how to improve the streetscape in terms of trees and benches, and actually widening the street so they could have delivery trucks there and someone could still come up the middle to get in.”
The former main hall of the post office will become the dining room. The basement and former mail sorting area will also be used. The Princeton firms Mills + Schnoering Architects and Richardson Smith Architects have been working on the plan. Mills + Schnoering has been responsible for the exterior, and Richardson Smith has been involved in the design for the interior. The Planning Board is expected to review the proposal at its meeting on Thursday, July 13. —Anne Levin

Beyond the written record about Trenton’s namesake founder, the manner in which his house was constructed and the materials he used reveal much about him. The house as we see it today reflects its 18th
restoration in the 1930s, it underwent many additions and changes, housing many significant New Jerseyans along the way. A recent on-site archaeology project, reveals more about the house and its inhabitants. After the house was donated to the City of Trenton for use as an historic house museum, it was “restored” in the 1930s as a WPA project, under the guidance of local Trenton architect Samuel Mountford. Mr. Joy discusses the advances in historic pres-
bilitation project about to get underway. The former president of the Trent House Association, Mr. Joy has projects in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. He also serves as vice chair for the New Hope, Pennsylvania Historical and Architectural Review Board, and as vice president for the New Hope Historic Society. He has conducted comparative architectural and building conservation studies of the 1719 Trent House, and is presently overseeing the architectural rehabilitation

Co-Candidates Cohen and Fraga Intend To Be Active Throughout Summer, Fall
To the Editor: I would like to thank all the voters of Princeton who took the time to turn out and cast a ballot last Tuesday, exercising one of our most important rights and responsibilities in a democracy. I and my co-candidate Leticia are proud to be part of a strong Democratic Party ticket headed into the fall, and many of the races in November will be hotly contested, providing an opportunity for voters throughout Princeton, Mercer County, Legislative District 16, and all of New Jersey to express their commitment to each other and to the cause of responsible, caring, effective government for our community. We will not take your support for granted, and intend to be active throughout the summer and fall, getting to know as many voters as we can, and making ourselves available to hear what issues are of greatest concern to the people of Princeton. We will continue to regularly show up at Bon Appetit on Wednesday mornings from 8-9 a.m., and McCaffrey’s on Monday afternoons from 5-6 p.m. in the upstairs seating area. Please do stop by and introduce yourselves, and/or share your views. Also look for us at the farmers market in Hinds Plaza on Thursday afternoons, and keep your ears open about house parties coming to your neighborhood, where we hope to engage with neighbors in every voting district in town. To learn more about my priorities as a candidate, and to learn about upcoming house parties, please visit my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/DECPrinceton. Princeton faces many challenges in the coming years, planning for change and preserving the wonderful character of our community, as we experience constant pressure for growth and development. We are blessed to reside in a highly desirable place to live, but in the wise words of the Jewish folk hero Nasrudin, “sometimes what seems like a blessing may be a curse, and what seems like a curse may be a blessing.” Let’s all pitch in together to make sure our blessings stay blessings.

Princeton Council’s Unanimous Approval Of Storm Water Ordinance a Good First Step
To the Editor: I applaud Princeton Council’s initiative in taking the first step to improve how our town handles storm water. on June 12, the Council adopted a new ordinance that requires at least some degree of modern storm water management for any new development and for any increase in impervious cover to existing developments. As the demand for larger homes continues to impact many Princeton neighborhoods, we have seen developers bulldoze away smaller homes to make way for larger homes. The upshot is greater flooding and pollution, not to mention wet basements and soggy yards for the neighbors. The Council’s unanimous approval of the ordinance is a step in the right direction, but it only addresses new or

Education in Environmental Health a Needed Tool In Ongoing Efforts to Grow Healthy Children in U.S.
To the Editor: Every day, the United States alone uses or imports about 42 million pounds of synthetic chemicals. There are more than 84,000 compounds approved for commercial use in the U.S., most of which have never been tested for toxicity. A 2011 Policy Statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics acknowledges that the large quantities of chemicals that enter commerce could be harmful to children’s health and development. The contribution of many of these chemicals to human illnesses, such as cancer and asthma, as well as in breast cancer, obesity, and hormone disruption, is now being studied in the scientific community with great interest and concern. Many studies now show increasing levels of common household chemicals in blood samples (bio-monitoring) collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as in breast milk and other bodily fluids. According to umbilical cord blood samples tested, nearly all babies in the U.S. are born with synthetic chemicals already in their blood streams. Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are an intensely studied area in the scientific community. Some have been strongly linked to effects on hormone signaling and adverse developmental outcomes in children. Many of these endocrine-disrupting chemicals surround us every day in the air we breathe, food we eat, and cosmetics we apply to our skin. Pre-teen and teenagers are among the largest groups of consumers of cosmetics and personal care products in the U.S. This raises concern due to rapid development during puberty and risk for future health issues. Cell phone and radiation exposure is also an area of growing concern for young people. Education in the area of environmental health is a needed tool in the ongoing efforts to grow healthy children in the U.S. over the past six weeks, I have had the pleasure of speaking with hundreds of students at Princeton High School about the potential health effects of various environmental exposures, and sharing with them vetted, practical, and highly relevant information and resources to reduce environmental exposures. These students were bright, inquisitive, and self-aware, and I have no doubt that they will make us all very proud as they mature into healthy young adults. I would like to thank Ed Cohen EdD (no relation!), Supervisor of Science preK-12 for Princeton Public Schools, for his ongoing support of this program, and Whole Earth Center for their generous financial backing. Community support is essential for making positive changes, and I am grateful to the Princeton community for embracing this important work. Knowledge is power!

Tracy K. Smith Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden has announced the appointment of Pulitzer-prize-winning poet and Princeton resident Tracy K. Smith as the Library’s 22nd Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2017-18. She will take up her duties in the fall, opening the Library’s annual literary season with a reading of her work at the Coolidge Auditorium. A professor of creative writing and the Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor in the Humanities at Princeton University, Ms. Smith is director of the University’s Program in Creative Writing at the Lewis Center for the Arts. She succeeds Juan Felipe Herrera as Poet Laureate. “It gives me great pleasure to appoint Tracy K. Smith, a poet of searching,” Ms. Hayden said. “Her work travels the world and takes on its voices; brings history and memory to life; calls on the power of literature as well as science, religion, and pop culture. With directness and deftness, she contends with the heavens or plumbs our inner depths — all to better understand what makes us most human.” “I am profoundly honored,” said Ms. Smith. “As someone who has been sustained by poems and poets, I understand the powerful and necessary role poetry can play in sustaining a rich inner life and fostering a mindful, empathic and resourceful culture. I am eager to share the good news of poetry with readers and future-readers across this marvelously diverse country.” The new Poet Laureate is the author of three books of poetry, including Life on Mars (2011), winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry; Duende (2007), winner of the 2006 James Laughlin Award, and the 2008 Essence Literar y Award ; and The Body’s Question (2003), winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize.

expanded development. Unfortunately, most of our excessive runoff is from older developments that were constructed before we fully appreciated the consequences to downstream communities, to water quality, and to aquatic wildlife. We need to better control storm water runoff from our existing commercial and residential developments by requiring that any redevelopment incorporate modern storm water management measures. Based on the public testimony, the town is eager to start soon on a secondphase strategy. We must be mindful of finding ways to allow water to soak into the ground, recharge the aquifer, and prevent flooding downstream. The Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association should also be commended for its research and advocacy on this important issue. The association and council are both to be commended for forward-thinking action on the recently approved storm water ordinance.

Rutgers University–New Br unsw ick facult y mem ber Azzan yadin-Israel will speak about his book The Grace of God and the Grace of Man: The Theologies of Bruce Springsteen (Lingua Press, 2016) from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 29, at Alexander Library, 169 College Avenue, New Brunswick. The event is free and open to the public. The Grace of God and the Grace of Man is divided into three parts. The first section traces the evolution of theological ideas in Springsteen’s early albums with a focus on critiques of traditional religious institutions and the possibility of redemption on the open road, a notion that Springsteen ultimately rejects in Darkness on the Edge of Town. The second section looks at records after Darkness and Springsteen’s refashioning of three common religious concepts: sin, grace, and the struggle within. The book ’s final section — named “Springsteen’s Midrash” after the ancient commentaries on Hebrew scriptures — looks at songs with explicitly biblical source material, such as “Adam Raised a Cain” and “Jesus Was an only Son,” to examine how Springsteen recasts traditional biblical stories to grapple with his own uncertain faith. A professor of Jew ish studies and Classics in the School of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers–New Brunswick, Mr. yadin-Israel teaches courses on rabbinic literature, classical Jewish philosophy, the history of Jewish mysticism, and Plato. Following the presentation, he will take questions and sign copies of the book. The Rutgers office of Summer and Winter Sessions will sponsor a drawing for 10 free copies, and additional books will be available for purchase courtesy of the Rutgers Barnes and Noble.

BOOK REVIEW
From Poe to McPhee, the Friends of the Library Book Sale Is a Casino of Possibilities
I
t’s only fitting that signed editions of several of Princeton native John McPhee’s acclaimed works — part of what the New York Times called “a grand pointillist mural of our time and place” — are among the items of special interest at the upcoming Friends of the Princeton Public Library Book Sale. During a library ceremony honoring him some years ago, McPhee confessed that when he was a boy he’d borrowed a book and failed to return it (“Well I lost it”). In donating signed editions of all his works to the library’s Princeton Collection on that occasion he was in effect repaying his debt. He then gave the idea of repayment another turn by claiming that he’d written all those books to make up for the one he’d lost. $15 to $662,000 Once upon a time in a New Hampshire book barn a man looking through some ephemera on farm implements and fertilizers found a stained, worn, paper-covered volume with the title Tamerlane and Other Poems. The author was identified only as “a Bostonian.” The publication date was 1827, the price $15. After some hesitation due to the sub-par condition, the man bought it, figuring an item that old must worth something. When he discovered that the Bostonian was Edgar Allan Poe, he took the book to a Boston auction house, which examined it and sent it to the New York office in an armored car (my italics). According to a story in the March 29, 1988 Washington Post, the man said he’d never read anything by Poe in his life (“I really don’t know too much about books”). At the time the book was valued at $300,000. In 2009, what appears to have been the same stained copy sold at auction for $662,500. Booksale regulars have a version of that story in the back of their minds every time they walk into a casino of possibilities like the one opening its doors at the library this Friday. While no one expects to make their fortune, the mere idea of a six-figure score puts a glow on the event. Customers who know the market may also be aware that their best chance of finding anything rare by Poe is in bound volumes of Godey’s Lady’s Books like the ones featured in this year’s sale: “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains” in the January-June 1844 volume, “The Oblong Box” and “Thou Art the Man” in July-December 1844. A recent search of online rare book sites showed that a dealer was asking $500 for a copy of that volume, perhaps counting on the pop culture clout of “The Oblong Box,” which inspired the horror movie starring Vincent Price and Christopher Lee. The Godey’s Environment “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains” shares the typographically dense pages of the April 1844 issue of the Lady’s Book
with “Anemone,” a poem (“And loth its beauty to disclose/It often hides its modest head”); “The Dear Girl of the Free: A National Melody” (“How bright are those eyes where the summer-time beams/ Like a glory hung over the blue”); “The Loved. The Lost,” a poem by the Rev. John Pierpont; six chapters from “The Night-Blooming Cereus” by Mrs. A.F.N. Annan; and “Go, Forget Me” (“Oh can I e’er forget thee, Mary”), among others of a similar nature. There are full-page engravings accompanying “The Pastor’s Visit” (a family parlor) and “The Promenade” (two smiling mantilla-clad Spanish maidens). The issue closes with a handpainted plate of the latest fashions in which three comely women model, respectively, a d re s s of r ich laven der gros des Indes, a dress of striped Balzarine, and a morning dress of white cashm e r e. Two of the ladies are standing, one with her face hidden by her bonnet while the third sits adm iring herself in a hand mirror. Now imagine a female of a certain age ( like most of Godey’s readership, a number that peaked at 150,000) leaving “How can I e’er forget thee, Mary” for Poe’s Augustus Bedloe, whose teeth are “wildly uneven” and whose “abnormally large, and round” eyes (“like those of a cat”) grow “bright to a degree almost inconceivable; seeming to emit luminous rays, not of a reflected but of an intrinsic lustre, as does a candle or the sun; yet their ordinary condition was so totally vapid, filmy, and dull as to convey the idea of the eyes of a long-interred corpse.” Imagine ladies with eyes for a dress of rich lavender gros des Indes venturing into the “delicious aspect of dreary desolation” shrouding the Ragged Mountains with a man addicted to strong coffee and morphine (“which he swallowed in great quantity and without which he would
have found it impossible to exist”). As the journey begins, the mist is “thick and peculiar” and the path “excessively sinuous” until the morning’s morphine has “its customary effect — that of enduing all the external world with an intensity of interest. In the quivering of a leaf — in the hue of a blade of grass — in the shape of a trefoil — in the humming of a bee — in the gleaming of a dew-drop — in the breathing of the wind — in the faint odors that came from the forest — there came a whole universe of suggestion — a gay and motley train of rhapsodical and immethodical thought.” A “Universe of Suggestion” This is where Poe gets my undivided attention, whether it’s April 1844 with the Civil War a decade and a half away or a J u n e morning in 2017. Only the man who w rote “The Raven” could come up with t he jingle jangle combination of “rhapsodical and immethodical thought” on the way into “a vast p l a i n ,” a “majestic river and “a n E a s t ern-looking city” of innumerable streets that “crossed each other irregularly in all directions” and “absolutely swarmed with inhabitants …. On every hand was a wilderness of balconies, of verandas, of minarets, of shrines, and fantastically carved oriels.” Not to mention “idols grotesquely hewn, drums, banners, and gongs, spears, silver and gilded maces. And amid the crowd, and the clamor, and the general intricacy and confusion … there roamed a countless multitude of holy filleted bulls, while vast legions of the filthy but sacred ape clambered, chattering and shrieking.” The Princeton Parade After the exotica of the Ragged Mountains, it’s reassuring to find an item of local interest in the score for “The Princeton Grand March,” arranged for the piano forte and “respectfully dedicated to Mrs.
Catharine E. Stockton, Lady of Captain R.F.Stockton, United States Navy.” Blame it on Poe’s lust for excess but the notion of a Princeton Grand March has me envisioning a parade of Princeton notables winding around Nassau Hall and through the campus. Headed by Washington and Einstein, the procession of luminaries from all fields, sports, politics, literature, science, music, would terminate where else but at Poe Field, named for John Prentiss Poe, Class of 1895, who left before graduation to become a soldier of fortune and died fighting with the Black Watch at the Battle of Loos in World War I. John was one of six Poe brothers, all cousins of the author, all students at Princeton. Less than 40 years after Godey’s published “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains,” the brothers Poe launched an illustrious era in Princeton football, and it was none other than Edgar Allan Poe, Class of 1891, who led the 1889 Tigers to a perfect 10-0 season while being named quarterback on the first college football All-America team. Legend has it that when a Harvard man asked a Princeton man if Edgar Allan Poe was related to the great Edgar Allan Poe, the Princeton man replied, “He is the great Edgar Allan Poe.” Putting Poe in Play In John McPhee’s essay on lacrosse “Spin Right and Shoot Left,” after quoting a pro midfielder (“There’s no room for nice guys on face-offs”), he lets it be known that Edgar Allan Poe was the faceoff man on the 1888 Princeton lacrosse team. While we know he can’t be referring to Poe the poet (as he’s quick to admit), McPhee has briefly shared with us the notion of the author of “The Raven” as a no nice-guy face-off man. hat’s the beauty of Poe. He’s somehow always available, always of use, forever relevant to the odd twists and turns of life, none more than his own, particularly the afterlife of fame. Take the story behind “The Raven,” which was composed around the same time he was writing “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains.” Destitute, he submitted the poem to Graham’s Magazine, where it was rejected. According to the account in Hervey Allen’s Israfel, the magazine’s staff passed the hat “out of commiseration” for the author and collected $15. Online dealers are currently offering first editions of The Raven and Other Poems for $12,500 and $7500. It costs only $10 for an early view of the library book sale, between 10 a.m. and noon on Friday. Admission is free from noon to 8:30 p.m., on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., at the Friends Bookstore during regular library hours. —Stuart Mitchner

“THE SON AND THE HOUSE”: This glitch art painting by Phillip McConnell is part of the “Digital Alchemy” exhibit at The Gourgaud Gallery in Cranbury from July 9-28. A reception will be held at the gallery on July 9 from 1-4 p.m.
“Digital Alchemy” at The Gourgaud Gallery
The Gourgaud Gallery in Cranbury presents “Digital Alchemy” by Trenton artist Phillip McConnell from July 9-28. A free reception will be held at the gallery on July 9 from 1-4 p.m. Mr. McConnell describes himself as a glitch artist with a focus on abstract, surreal-
ist digital art. “‘Digital Alchemy’ is a project where I blend different aspects of photography (landscape, portrait, urban, nature and macro) with different concepts of glitch art (VHS, aesthetic, vapor wave) to create something new out of something broken,” said Mr. McConnell. “With almost everything in photog-
raphy being digital, it leads the mind to wonder what can really be done when pushed a step further. As technology advances, more and more everyday pushing the boundary of what the mind can create is literally at your fingertips. Alchemy is the transformation of matter either from one state to another or from one substance
to another. By bending and manipulating the raw data or code of a picture, I essentially corrupt the original picture by breaking it down to its most basic form and bend it to create something new. “This project features several different series, the first of which is titled ‘Return to Nature,’ a juxtaposition series where I blend different aspects of nature photography and architecture to show the relative size of nature to man-made construction. Another series is titled ‘As Above So Below,’ or aasb for short. In this series, I take religious figures and place them next to their places of worship.” The Gourgaud Gallery is at 23A North Main Street in Cranbury. Hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday, July 9 from 1-4 p.m.; and Sunday, July 16 from 1-3 p.m. ———

“Cats vs. Dogs” at Zimmerli Art Museum
It is estimated that more than 60 percent of U.S. households have at least one pet — of which the majority are cats and dogs — so it is no surprise that domesticated animals have been popular subjects for American artists. In particular, illustrators of children’s books have created memorable canine and feline characters, depicting the distinct movements, expressions, and personalities that endear them to their human companions. The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University has drawn from its vast holdings in this genre to present “Cats vs. Dogs: Illustrations for Children’s Literature,” opening July 1 and featuring more than 40 drawings and collages by Frank Asch, Mary Chalmers, Tony Chen, Roger Duvoisin, Shari Halpern, Lois Lenski, Ward Schumaker, and Art Seiden. The exhibition emphasizes the strength of visual elements in storytelling, especially for children learning how to read. “Cats and dogs are beloved companions in our everyday lives,” notes Nicole Simpson, the Zimmerli’s assistant curator of prints and drawings. “Stories of their journeys and adventures have entertained and educated children and their families for generations. This exhibition presents a wide range of illustrations — from whimsical sketches to highly detailed, realistic renderings and bold, graphic modern approaches — that demonstrate the creative approaches of these artists and the charms of these animals.” The exhibition, on view July 1 through June 24, 2018, is open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (note: the museum is closed to the public during the month of August). Admission is free to the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers, which is located at 71 Hamilton Street (at George Street) on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick.

OPERA:
Beethoven’s
Fidelio
JuNE 18 & 25, 3 Pm
Princeton Festival Presents Mesmerizing Beethoven Opera
T
he last t wo times Ludw ig van Beethoven’s opera Fidelio was performed in Princeton, the productions were plagued with blizzards. In the early 1980s, Princeton University mounted a production, only to have a performance besieged by a monster snowstorm. In January 2016, a visiting opera company came to Richardson Auditorium to present the same work, with blizzard conditions predicted for most of the performance weekend and the schedule adjusted accordingly. Hopefully, Princeton Festival had no thoughts about the “Princeton Fidelio snow curse” in opening its production of Beethoven’s only opera this past weekend at McCarter Theatre Center. Festival Artistic Director Richard Tang Yuk led the cast members of Sunday afternoon’s performance at McCarter’s Matthews Theatre on a moving journey through the work Beethoven himself described as “the one most dear to him” of all his compositional “children.” Beethoven composed Fidelio as Napoleon’s armies nipped at the heels of Vienna, finally reaching the city shortly before the opera’s unsuccessful premiere. Beethoven tinkered with the work through the next decade (including writing four opening overtures), and Fidelio was finally launched into operatic repertory in 1814. With only seven principal roles, the opera overflows with the same character intricacy and musical intertwining as Mozart’s ensemble operas, with wellconstructed vocal trios and quartets. In Fidelio, Beethoven combined the humor and spoken word of the popular 18th-century Singspiel, the passionate drama of the 19th-century Verdi operas to come, and a militaristic overtone of Napoleon knocking at Vienna’s door. Beethoven set the story of imprisonment and enduring love in 18th-century Seville, but as Princeton Festival’s stage director Steven LaCosse showed in this production, the story has become timeless and can take place anywhere at any time. Of the four overtures Beethoven composed for Fidelio, two have been discarded over the past two centuries, and the one customarily used to open the opera is Beethoven’s fourth revision. Dr. Tang Yuk began the production on Sunday afternoon with a crisp and sprightly Overture marked by especially clean horns. Rather than dramatically let these minutes go by, director Mr. LaCosse set the scene for how the nobleman Florestan came to be imprisoned with an eerily contemporary pantomime of workers picketing for “trabajo y derechos” (work and rights) while wives and girlfriends hovered nearby. The men were arrested and all, including Florestan, were taken to jail. The dramatic action caught up with the vocal score as Florestan’s wife Leonore disguised herself as a man to get a job at the prison. Borrowing from the Singspiel tradition, the more humorous side of Fidelio came out as Marzelline, daughter of the head jailor, declared her love for Leonore’s
alter-ego Fidelio, which Leonore went along with to gain further access to the prison and possibly Florestan. Sopranos Marcy Stonikas (Leonore) and Danielle Talamantes (Marzelline) were perfectly matched in vocal timbre, playing their characters as formidable and determined women unafraid of anything. Duets between the two were always clean, and the vocal spin on their collective sound was consistently uniform. Ms. Talamantes possessed a rich mezzo voice with strong coloratura technique and a solid foundation to the sound. She delivered her Act I aria proclaiming her love for Fidelio with delicacy and innocence, and along with her fellow principals, delivered the German dialog crisply. Ms. Stonikas possessed the same rich timbre, adding poignancy to her duet with Ms. Talamantes. Her signature first act aria was almost a double-aria, including recitative, a slow movement and fast closing section, and was sung with a rich plaintive sound elegantly accompanied by horns from the Festival Orchestra. Most audiences know Beethoven’s vocal writing from his challenging Symphony No. 9, but Beethoven showed in Fidelio that he could write well for the voice, with a style that fit right into operatic trends of the time. Florestan does not make an appearance until the second act, and most impressive in tenor Noah Baetge’s performance was his ability to start his vocal line as if from another room and quickly fill McCarter Theatre with sound. Mr. Baetge consistently imparted passion and fervor through his role, and matched Ms. Stonikas well in their final joyous duet. The cast was well rounded out by a comedic Michael Kuhn as Jacquino, a solid commanding bass in Gustav Andreassen’s head jailor Rocco, the revengeful Don Pizarro sung by Joseph Barron, and a regal Cameron Jackson as prime minister Don Fernando. The wellknown “Prisoner’s Chorus” and jubilant closing chorus of newly-released prisoners and wives were solidly prepared by chorus master Gregory Geehern, and well placed on the stage. Mr. LaCosse incorporated another pantomime of the prisoners being released during the Leonore Overture #3 which is often played between scenes in the second act, bringing the prisoners up from under the stage. Also impressive in stage direction was Rocco and Leonore’s grave-digging scene, during which they actually dug up parts of the stage, creating a very realistic and dramatic moment. r. Tang Yuk led a crisp and precise Princeton Festival Orchestra through the music, and was always in control of what was happening onstage. Cleanly played, Beethoven’s score was easily accessible, and although the production was more than 2½ hours long, time flew by for the audience, thanks to imaginative staging and directing, as well as superlative singing and instrumental playing. —Nancy Plum

“Measure for Measure” At Kelsey Theatre
“Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall,” proclaims Shakespeare in “Measure for Measure,” coming to Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) Kelsey Theatre. Dates and show times for this dark comedy are: Friday, June 23 and 30, at 8 p.m.; Saturday, June 24 and July 1 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, June 25 and July 2 at 2 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college’s West Windsor Campus at 1200 Old Trenton Road. A reception with the cast and crew will follow the opening performance on June 23. Set in Vienna, “Measure for Measure” explores some of society’s big moral questions — the abuse of power and merciful justice, hypocrisy and virtue, and forgiveness and repentance.

Michener Museum Summer Concerts
The Michener Art Museum will kick off its three-part summer concert series A Little Night Music with the 1950s-themed musical program “Rosemary Clooney and Friends: Come On-a My House” on Wednesday, June 21 at 7 p.m. The museum will present two additional performances as part of its summer series: the Brian Pastor Octet on Wednesday, July 26 at 7 p.m. and Trinidelphia on Wednesday, August 9 at 7 p.m. Tickets and information are available for all performances at MichenerArtMuseum.org. “The Michener Art Museum has a long history of presenting exciting summertime concerts in the dramatic glass enclosed Edgar N. Putman Event Pavilion overlooking the sculpture garden, but we are particularly pleased to kick off this year’s summer series with
a performance by one of our longstanding cultural partners, the Bristol Riverside Theatre,” said Zoriana Siokalo, senior director of programs. The June 21 performance, which features 1950s music made popular by female vocalists such as Doris Day, Patti Page, Kay Star, Teresa Brewer, and — of course — Rosemary Clooney, will be produced by the Bristol Riverside Theatre, an awardwinning equity theatre in Bucks County that is now in its 29th season. The Little Night Music summer series at the Michener is made possible by the support of the Pfundt Family Foundation.

Music and Theater
The Fifth Book by Stephen Hartke and a Madrigal Set by Carlo Gesualdo. Brentano first performed in the concert series as a young group in 1994, returning in 1997 and in 1999. In 1999, the members began a 15 year tenure in Princeton’s music department as the first Edward T. Cone Performers-in-Residence. In the fall of 2014, the Quartet became the Resident String Quartet at the Yale School of Music, succeeding the Tokyo Quartet in that position. At Yale, they perform in concer t each semester and work closely with the students in the context of chamber music. On Wednesday, July 26, with the Argus Quartet, the concert series will come full circle, offering a platform to a very young group that at present is under the mentorship of Brentano. Funding for Summer Concerts is provided by individual contributors, foundations, local corporations, and a grant from the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission. Tickets are free and will be available online one week before each concert through their website at www.princetonsummerchamberconcerts.org. Remaining tickets will also be available “first come, first served” at the Richardson Auditorium box office on the night of each concert at 6 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Further information, including ticket information for those with disabilities, is at www. princetonsummerchamberconcerts.org or (609) 5708404.

om Foster loves his job! “I like this so much that it’s easy to come to work every day. I enjoy every aspect of the business. I’m proud of our cars, and I like getting to know the customers. Many have become good friends.”
IT’S NEW To Us
W hen t he boss enjoys coming to work this much, it sets the tone for all the employees and the customers as well. This is an important reason why so many people are certain that Hopewell Motors will provide them with the best car for their needs, along with the proper maintenance service. In addition,
the friendly atmosphere is a big attraction for many customers. Opened in 2015 at 49 East Broad Street, Hopewell Motors specializes in previously-owned high-end German cars. “We typically have a selection of Audi, BM W, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen cars available, and occasionally we also have Hondas, Subarus, and Jeeps,” says Mr. Foster. “People will often turn in their existing car when they buy a new car.” High Quality He adds that he has always loved cars, and when the opportunity to open the business came along, he did not hesitate. “In order to open a previously-owned car business, you have to get a license from the state. We primarily have German cars. I like them, and I find that they are high quality and

well made. We also take requests from people who may be looking for a particular car, and we will try to help them.” Mr. Foster is very pleased with the enthusiastic response Hopewell Motors has received. “We’ve grown even faster than I expected. We have more customers and are selling more cars all the time” Customers are from the Hopewell area, including Princeton, Hopewell, Lawr e n c e v i l l e , Pe n n i n g to n , Lambertville, etc. They are all ages, adds Mr. Foster. “We also have a lot of families, and some have four, five, and even six cars in the family. Many people have become regular customers. We also have young college -age customers, even some still in high school. We always emphasize safety. We talk to them about the importance of not texting or talking on the phone when driving. This is a major emphasis.” At any given time, five to 10 cars are available at Hopewell Motors, and recently, a BMW, Mercedes, and a Porsche were highlighted in the showroom. In the outside lot, a Jeep and another Mercedes were on display. Excellent Service Servicing the cars is an important part of the business, points out Mr, Foster. “We not only service the cars customers buy from us but we will service all makes and models not purchased here. We do everything except body work. Transmission work, engine, oil change, tune-ups, exhaust, mufflers, brake service, tires, and typical maintenance are available, also diagnostics. “In addition, if you buy one of our cars, you will get free oil changes for a year, and typical maintenance. When we do an oil change, we don’t just change your oil. We top off all the fluids
under the hood and check all the underside components of the vehicle. The normal things we check are brakes, tires, hoses, belts, etc. We have seven bays for the cars, and we provide excellent service. “Our technicians have all been expertly trained. The technology is so advanced today that you have to keep up with it, and we continue to educate ourselves. We also like to educate our customers, although some of them are already very knowledgeable.” Hopewell Motors also has a convenient and attractive waiting area for customers, complete with coffee, bottled water, kids juice boxes, and snacks. In addition, framed artwork, created by area artists, is displayed on the walls. Community Partners Mr. Foster reports that both the sales and service costs are ver y competi tive. For example, a full oil change, with five quarts of oil, is $49, and also includes a comprehensive maintenance check. He adds that prices for new tires are also very competitive, frequently less expensive than those available online. He points out that Hopewell Motors looks forward to becoming an involved partner in the Hopewell community. “This is important to us. We want to support the community. Hopewell has a lot of events, and we sponsor some of them. We had a float for the Memorial Day parade. And we are a part of Cruise Night, which is held in the spring and fall, when people bring classic and antique cars to town. 2,000

Women Resist Rabbi’s Repressive Rules in Tale of Female Empowerment
A
join them to make their minyan complete. Not only is he willing to join their services, but in the next few weeks he takes over the position of the congregation’s rabbi and their plans to repair their damaged synagogue. However, it turns out that he advocates an ultra-orthodox form of Judaism, and he attempts to convince the congregation that they should embrace his more restrictive interpretation of the laws of the Bible. For example, he tries to persuade the women to dress more modestly by always covering their heads with a scarf. Next, he announces that instead of using the money that the congregant’s women have collected to repair the balcony, he is going to use the money to commission the writing of a new Torah scroll for the new congregation. None of this news sits well with the women of the original Mussayof congregation who decide to fight against their new rabbi. As in Aristophanes’ classic play, Lysistrata, and Spike Lee’s latest “joint,” Chi-Raq, they agree to withhold sex until their husbands come to their senses. All of the above plays out in hilarious fashion in The Women’s Balcony, a delightful tale of female empowerment directed by Emil Ben-Shiron. The movie was a hit in Israel where it won five of that country’s equivalent of the Academy Award nominations. Kudos, too, to Menemsha Films’ Neil Friedman, who has produced several charming sleepers that include Dough, The Rape of Europa, Beauty in Trouble, and The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg.

bar mitzvah is nearing its climax in an Orthodox synagogue in Jerusalem when the balcony reserved for women suddenly collapses. When the dust settles, the members discover that the collapse has left the wife of their rabbi in a coma, and also that her husband, Rabbi Menashe (Abraham Celektar) is in denial about the condition of his wife and is no condition to lead his synagogue’s members. It becomes clear that neither Rabbi Menashe nor the Mussayof Synagogue will be back to normal anytime soon. With the building closed because it is unsafe, the congregation finds a temporary home in a nearby school. However, its location makes it difficult to assemble a minyan, the quorum of 10, that is required for religious services. A savior arrives when they ask David (Avraham Aviv Alush), a young rabbi who happened to be passing by, to

A PARTY FOR THE ARTS: Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts and Department of Music will celebrate the opening of the Lewis Arts complex on the southern edge of Princeton’s campus from October 5 through 8. The festival, which is open to the public, will feature dozens of concerts, plays, readings, dance performances, art exhibitions, community workshops, and site-specific events at venues across the campus, most of which will be free.
Celebrating the Opening performance, rehearsal, will serve as a lobby for the and teaching spaces for the various arts venues in the Of New Lewis Center Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts and the Department of Music will celebrate the opening of the new Lewis Arts complex with a multi-day Festival of the Arts on October 5 through 8 on the Princeton campus. “We’re having a party for the arts, and we hope to offer something for everyone!” notes Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center. “We are delighted to offer to the University, the Princeton community, and our many friends and guests a veritable feast of artistic delights,” adds Wendy Heller, chair of the Department of Music. “We celebrate not only the opening of these beautiful spaces and what they promise our students for the future, but the extraordinary accomplishments of all of our students and faculty, past and present, in the performing and creative arts.” The new multi-building arts complex along Alexander Street and University Place on the south edge of campus, adjacent to McCarter Theatre, will take the arts at Princeton to even greater heights by significantly expanding the
arts in new state-of-the-art, purpose-built facilities. The Center anchors the 22-acre Arts and Transit Neighborhood, a development that also includes Cargot Brasserie restaurant (set to open this summer) and The Dinky Bar and Kitchen located in two renovated former train station buildings, a new Wawa convenience store, and a new train station surrounded by a park-like setting with extensive landscaped plazas, pathways, and green spaces. The center will house the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Programs in Dance, Music Theater, and Theater and the Princeton Atelier, and the Department of Music’s expansion of its instructional and research facilities in the new music building to supplement the Woolworth Center of Musical Studies. The complex houses the Wallace Dance Building and Theater, including the Hearst Dance Theater; the Arts Tower, which includes the Hurley Gallery, administrative offices and additional studios; and the new music building. The three buildings are connected at ground level by a Forum, an 8,000-square-foot open indoor gathering space that
complex and as an additional informal performance space. Above the Forum is an outdoor plaza with a reflecting pool. Skylights in the pool filter natural light into the Forum below. The complex was designed by Steven Holl Architects. Holl, a 2012 American Institute of Architects Gold Medalist, has designed landmark arts venues around the world, including the forthcoming expansion of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. In 2014, he received the Praemium Imperiale award for his contributions to the development, promotion and progress of the arts. The new arts complex is named for and was made possible in part through a $101 million gift to the University made in 2006 by the late Peter B. Lewis, Princeton Class of 1955 and former University trustee.

Persevering Through Ups and Downs, Warren Ends PU Rowing Career on a High
A
s a young girl growing up in Sarasota, Fla., Christina Warren dreamed of being a college athlete. Initially, Warren viewed tennis as her route to the next level, winning multiple USTA (United State Tennis Association) titles in youth competition. But after suffering a back injury as a 15-yearo l d , Wa r r e n s w i t c h e d to rowing, joining the Sarasota Crew club program. Wa r r e n e n j o y e d b e ing part of a crew right from the start. “I think the biggest thing for me was that I was used to being on my own as an individual with tennis and when I switched to rowing it is totally the opposite,” said Warren. “It is probably the most teamoriented sport, and doing that was huge for me.” Helping the Sarasota Crew varsity 8 to regional crowns and a seventh place finish at the USRowing youth nationals, Warren realized her dream of competing at the next level, committing to Princeton University and joining its women’s lightweight rowing program. Over the next four years, Warren enjoyed a superb career as a college athlete, rowing for the varsity 8 all four seasons, serving as a twotime team captain, and helping the Princeton top boat take third at the IRA (Intercollegiate Row-
ing Association) national championship earlier this month, the first medal for the boat at the IRA since 2011. Warren and fellow co-captain Juliette Hackett were named to the 2017 Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association AllAmerica team. Upon joining the Princeton program, Warren made an immediate impact. “I was on the faster end for lightweight rowers,” said Warren, noting that she and Hackett were both in the top boat from the beginning. “My coach [Paul Rassam] liked the way that we rowed and the way we rowed together so we stuck together through the boat progression for four years.” In reflecting on her Princeton career, Warren acknowledges it was an uneven progression with plenty of ups and downs. “Some of it was really, really fun and some of it was really trying,” said Warren. “My junior year was definitely our worst year, we ended up losing six girls from the varsity 8 so that was a big hit. We learned a lot about ourselves, and I know I am going to get lapped but I better kick my own butt during this workout anyway. You learn a lot about your limits and your motivation.” Coming into her senior year, Warren quickly got
the sense that it was going to be a fun season. “Our first row in the varsity 8 in the fall in the lineup felt 10 times better than our IRAs training lineup from the year before,” said Warren. “I was alright, now we have something to work with. I think everybody kind of felt that and that really motivated and excited everyone to make this year as good as possible. We had a lot of younger girls come in who were motivated and they immediately took leadership positions on the team in their own little ways so it was awesome.” Being a two-time captain gave Warren the chance to hone her leadership skills. “Juliette and I are best friends; we work together really well,” noted Warren. “I am a little more energetic, passionate, outgoing, and maybe a little louder. She is quieter, softer, and is more logistical. We complement each other really well. I really enjoyed it. It was a great learning experience for me, having to be a good example.” T h e Ti g e r s s t a r t e d the season well by taking third in the Knecht Cup, a race that draws the top women’s lightweight crews in the nation. In mid-May, Princeton placed third at the Eastern Sprints, finishing about 0.1 of a sec-
ond behind second-place Wisconsin. The photo finish at Sprints gave Princeton extra motivation as it trained for the IRA national championship regatta. “We had a big break between sprints and IRAs,” said Warren. “Our coach printed out the picture of the finish line between us and Wisconsin and taped it on our whiteboard. This is your motivation so we were OK. We showed up every day to practice with a chip on our shoulder, a little angry and ready to go.” Over that three-week period, the Tigers got the most of their practices as they primed for the competition which was held on Lake Natoma in Sacramento, Calif. from June 2-4. “We worked really hard, we got a ton of miles in and a ton of really good pieces and training,” said Warren. “We really focused and fine-tuned every part of our stroke. I think that made a huge difference going into the IRAs. We were definitely the fastest we had been all year when we got to IRAs.” Princeton showed its speed at the IRA regatta, producing its finest performance of the spring in the grand final. The Tigers took third in a time of 6:32.890 over the 2,000-meter course with Stanford posting a winning time of 6:25.396 and Boston University taking second in 6:30.608. Nemesis Wisconsin came in fourth
PULLING IT OFF: Princeton University women’s lightweight rower Christina Warren competes in a race this spring during her senior season. Co-captain Warren ended her college career on a high note, helping the Princeton varsity 8 to a bronze medal at the IRA (Intercollegiate Rowing Association) national championship regatta earlier this month. Last week, Warren and fellow co-captain Juliette Hackett were named to the 2017 Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association All-America team. (Photo Courtesy of Princeton’s Office of Athletic Communications) in 6:36.444. “In order for us to get a medal we had to have a blazing start and not let off the gas at all,” said Warren, reflecting on the medal-winning effort. “We were like all or nothing here, we were going all out for sure. It was the most special thing; it was definitely our fastest and best race that we had all year. It was probably the best race that I ever had as a rower so it was really special for me to end on that.” For Warren, giving her best on the water is a lesson that will serve her well as she enters the real world. “Our coach said you
have taught us, the seniors especially, that it is so important to never give up,” said Warren, who will be starting work this summer for a marketing software company in New York City. “We could have very easily thrown in the towel after my junior year. and we could have packed it in and said that’s it for us but we kept pushing through that. What you get out of rowing equals what you put into it. I think that is a really important life lesson as well, if you put your head down and work hard, you will get good. That was my main takeaway.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Wrestling Adds Jackson to Staff
Nate Jackson, a two-time All-American wrestler who won more than 100 career matches for Indiana University, will join the Princeton University wrestling staff next season as a volunteer assistant coach. Jackson replaces Nick Heflin, who recently made the U.S. National Team and will move on to the Oklahoma coaching staff. T h e Cre te, I l l. nat ive completed his stellar collegiate career with his second straight All-American honor at the 2017 NCAA Championships, wrestling at 184 pounds. A two-time captain for the Hoosiers, Jackson is a former Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honoree, as well as a former University Freestyle Nationals All-American. Jackson brings a pair of connections to the Tiger wrestling family. He wrestled with former Tiger and 2015 EIWA (Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association) finalist Chris Perez while Perez did a graduate school year with the Hoosiers. Prior to that, Jackson earned a top honor within the program — the Joe Dubuque Most Outstanding Wrestler ward. (Dubuque, currently an associate head coach at Princeton, was a two-time NCAA champion with the Hoosiers). “What attracted me most about the program is its trajectory,” said Jackson, reflecting on joining the Princeton staff led by head coach Chris Ayres. “The leadership and vision of Chris and his staff has enabled the program to reach great heights. The fun part is that things are only getting better. Moreover, this awesome staff will help me to get the most out of myself as I begin my coaching and international wrestling careers. I am very fortunate to be surrounded by driven individuals at a time when the program is gaining momentum.” Ayres and his staff are excited to see what Jackson can bring to the vastly improved Tiger wrestling program. Last season, Princeton sent a programrecord seven wrestlers to the NCAA Championships, and it earned its highest finish at the EIWA Championships (third) since 1978. The Tigers have brought home an All-American in each of the last two seasons, including reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Year Matthew Kolodzik.

SPRING REVIEW
I
PDS Lacrosse Standouts Tuckman, Mills Emerged as Top Performers of Spring Season
n his first two seasons with the Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse team, Elon Tuckman served as the squad’s young gun. In the spring of 2015, he set a PDS program record for most points by a freshman. A year later, he was a key part of the supporting cast when older brother, Jonah Tuckman ’16 and his classmates helped lead the Panthers to a season for the ages as PDS went 15-1, winning the state Prep B title and the program’s first-ever Mercer County Tournament crown. This spring, the younger Tuckman was primed to assume the top gun role. “I am not the little brother on the team any more,” said Tuckman. “It was known that graduating Connor [ Fletcher] , Jonah, and Joey [Levine], all those seniors, that it is definitely a different offense. Coach [Rich D’Andrea] said some guys need to step up. I am looking to that role, trying to be a leader on this team, filling the spots that we need.” Emerging as the go -to player for the PDS attack, Tuckman proved to be an offensive catalyst from the get-go. He picked up three assists in the season opener as PDS pulled out a 9-8 double overtime thriller over local rival Hun. Over the course of the spring, Tuckman came up big, time and time again. He had three goals and three assists in a 10-5 win over Robbinsville, four goals and an assist in a 14-2 rout of Hopewell Valley, five goals and two assists in an 11-2
victory over Peddie, and four goals and two assists in a 14-6 win over Albany Academy (N.Y.). W hen postseason play rolled around, Tuck man took his game to a higher level. In the MCT, Tuckman had two goals and five assists in a 19-3 win over Pennington in the quarterfinals, four goals and two assists in an 11-4 win over Notre Dame in the semis, with three goals and three assists as PDS topped Princeton High 9-5 in the final to win its second straight county title. Tuckman also starred as the Panthers rolled to a second straight Prep B title. He tallied two goals and three assists in a 10-2 win over Newark Academy in the Prep B semis and four goals and two assists in an 11-2 triumph over Rutgers Prep in the championship game. In reflecting on PDS’s success this spring, Tuckman said it was a group effort. “We can’t focus on the personal things, it has got to be the team mentality,” said Tuckman. “It can’t be who has the most points. We are stressing pass, pass, dodge. It has got to be just moving it and getting the team goals.” Tuckman did end up leading the team in scoring, tallying 83 points on 46 goals and 37 assists. PDS head coach D’Andrea, though, made it clear that Tuckman was integral in getting the team moving. “Elon has been one of our most valuable pieces here in terms of in-game presence,” said D’Andrea. “He knows where to be; he
knows when to slow things down, he knows when to speed things up and he is just phenomenally talented. You look at how complete a player he is, he is a coach’s kid and he is one of the most intelligent kids. He gets it and he is vital to what we do.” For thriving in his new role as top gun and leading the Panthers to another title double, Tuckman is the choice as the Town Topics top male performer of the spring season. Top Female Performer t didn’t take long for Morgan Mills to pick up the game of lacrosse. Having only played the sport for one year before she came to Princeton Day School in 2013 from London, Mills emerged as a star by her sophomore season for the Panthers. The athletic midfielder Mills, a cross country runner in the fall, helped PDS win the state Prep B championship in 2015, tallying five goals and an assist as the Panthers defeated Pennington 18-11 in the title game. By her junior year, Mills had committed to go across town to Princeton University and join its storied women’s lacrosse program. She ended that spring by tallying four goals as PDS defeated Pennington 18-11 to win its second straight Prep B crown. This year, Mills was one of two seniors on the PDS squad along with star defender Abby Atkeson, and they helped keep the Panthers on the same page. “With ever yone on the team, we have a great chem-
I
istry, “ said Mills. “It is a testament to all of the team bonding that we do, both on the field and off that we really trust one another to be there. I think that this year we are a very, ver y close team. We are friends, both in the hallways and on the field during practice. Sometimes there can be a little bit of disconnect between the upperclassmen because there are only two of us, we have to make sure that we did a good job connecting with them all.” On the field, Mills helped keep the Panther attack connecting, tallying 94 points on 50 goals and a team-high 44 assists. Mills saved her best for last, sparking PDS to a Prep B title three-peat. In the semis, Mills contributed four goals and five assists as the Panthers rolled to a 15-6 win over MorristownBeard. The Panthers defeated Montclair Kimberley 19-13 in the championship game with Mills dominating the contest, tallying 10 points on eight goals and two assists. For Mills, it was a memorable finale. “It feels incredible, especially in my last game,” said Mills, reflecting on her performance as the Panthers finished the spring with a 10-4 record. “PDS has given me so much so I am glad I can give a little back to the lacrosse program and be able to finish on such a high.”
PDS head coach Jill Thomas was thrilled to see Mills go out in a blaze of glory. “It is really awesome for Morgan, what a way for her to go out,” said Thomas. Mills’ development into a leader and high-powered playmaker earns her the nod as the Town Topics top female star this spring. Top Newcomers After getting into the pole vault as a middle schooler in Switzerland, Simon Schenk moved to Princeton last summer. Looking to make an impact in his freshman year with the Princeton High boys’ track team, Schenk went to school on his event, going to four pole vault clinics and working with personal coach Frank Harrison to refine his skills. This winter, Schenk served notice that he was a rising star, winning the pole vault at the indoor Mercer County Championships with a leap of 12’6. That was a harbinger of things to come in the spring season. After a subpar outing at the outdoor county meet, Schenk made history as he placed first at the sectional meet with a school record leap of 14’7. “I was not expecting that, coach Harrison was there and he said we are jumping 14 feet today and I said yeah, sure, right,” recalled Schenk. “It was amazing, I made 13’6 on the first try. Then we went to 14 and I made that one. It was joy to realize that all of the work you have put in over the years
has paid off. It is just incredible. I couldn’t imagine that I would have those heights. I had the technique but I didn’t have the experience. with the higher poles.” Schenk took seventh at the state Group 4 meet with a best of 13’0, later earning a wild card entry to the Meet of Champions. He finished a special freshman campaign by taking 12th at the MOC with a best of 13’6. Schenk’s record-setting freshman season makes him the choice as the top male newcomer. As Princeton High girls’ lacrosse head coach Sara Doran took the helm of the program, she sensed that freshman Shaylah Marciano could make an immediate impact. “I have known Shaylah since she was a little girl and in PG Lax; I have coached her before so I am well aware of her talents,” said Doran. “She is a great lacrosse player, always has been, and just a great athlete really.” Marciano proved to be a great addition to PHS, piling up 71 points on 31 goals and a team-high 40 assists as the Little Tigers went 14-8 and advanced to the semifinals of the Central Jersey Group 4 Tournament. “I think she has great potential and she really proved that this season, jumping right in to the varsity team as a freshman and working her way into a starting position and really being an impact player.” In Doran’s view, midfielder Marciano brings a special Continued on Next Page

The vivid first-person accounts of more than fifty black residents detail aspects of African American life throughout the twentieth century. Their stories show that the roots of Princeton’s black community are as deeply intertwined with the town and university as they are with the history of the United States, the legacies of slavery, and the nation’s current conversations on race.

skill set to the game. “She just has great field sense, she is a phenomenal athlete who can go to goal and scores with ease,” said Doran. “She sees the field well, she knows when to drive and when to pass it off. She is a very reliable assister, she feeds the ball in with great accuracy and precision.” Marciano got better and better as the spring went on. “As the season progressed, she had success and that built her confidence,” said Doran. “That was reflected in the last few weeks and I think that is an indicator of what is to come.” Marciano’s emergence as an impact player in her debut campaign earns her the nod as the top female newcomer. Top Coaches ich D’Andrea faced a challenge this spring w it h h is P r inceton Day School boys’ lacrosse team. Losing seven seniors to graduation from a 2016 squad that went 15-1, winning the state Prep B title and the program’s first-ever Mercer County Tournament crow n, PDS head coach D’Andrea had to put new faces in new places in going for an encore performance. Saying goodbye to a lot of offensive firepower, the Panthers emphasized a more deliberate approach on attack and a rock-solid defense. Early on, it became clear that the revamped Panthers were going to be a force to be reckoned with again. PDS opened the season with a 9-8 overtime win at pow-
R
erful Hun and got off to a 7-1 start. Af ter suffer ing an 8 -7 loss to Springside Chestnut Hill (Pa.) in late April, the Panthers never lost again. PDS stormed to its second straight MCT crown, outscoring foes 39-12 in three games, culminating with a 9-5 over crosstown rival Princeton High in the championship game. D’Andrea acknowledged that it took a while for this year’s squad to find its identity. “I think this team felt a lot of that pressure coming into this season,” said D’Andrea. “It is neat seeing guys change and the roles shift from year to year. This senior class has started to find their voice; they are comfortable with who they are. They have really taken ownership over this thing. I think the challenge for any team and any coach is to have their kids take ownership over the program and make it theirs.” In the Prep B tournament, the Panthers were similarly dominant in defending their title, topping Newark Academy 10-2 in the semis and stifling Rutgers Prep 11-2 in the championship game. Accomplishing its title d o u b l e fo r t h e s e c o n d straight season, PDS ended up with a sparking final record of 14-2. In the view of D’Andrea, t he Pant her program is developing a special tradition. “You look at lasting power and it is the testament of the program,” said D’Andrea. “I think our program is confident but humble, the players have really developed a winning mentality.
That is prevalent in the middle school and it had found its way up. At this point we have strung together some really talented classes back to back to back here. That is important and the kids buy into it. Every team is a little bit different but they are part of this common thread, they love each other, and they are part of this brotherhood.” For keeping PDS on its championship track with another sterling campaign, D’Andrea is the choice as the top coach of a male team this spring. Things ended on a down note for the Hun School softball team in 2016. After winning the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title in regular season play, Hun fell 7-0 to perennial nemesis Peddie in the state Prep A semis, leaving a bitter taste in their mouths despite the success experienced over the course of a 13-3 campaign. B efore t he team even played its first game in 2017, Kathy Quirk sensed that something special was brewing with her squad as it took its annual preseason training jaunt to Florida. “The trip went very well; we did well and we have a great bunch of kids,” said Quirk, who was in her 42nd season at the helm of the program. “It is probably one of the best trips I have had. We have to carry over what we did in Florida back here. We have to come back with that strong mentality that we can hit anybody that pitches to us and I am big on basics everyday.” After losing its season opener 2- 0 to Blair, the Raiders caught fire, reeling off 12 wins in a row.

With junior transfer Alanna Pearson emerging as a star pitcher and senior catcher Julie Fassl, sophomore third baseman Meghan Donohue, junior first baseman Julia Revock and precocious freshman shortstop Gigi Venizelos triggering a potent batting attack, Hun steamrolled most of its opponents. In reflecting on her team’s run-scoring prowess, Quirk credited the team’s daily drilling. “We practice hitting every day,” said Quirk. “We practice with heavy balls, we practice with wiffle balls.

Sparked by Trio of Influential Seniors, PDS Softball Showed Competitive Fire
While the three wins it posted this spring were unquestionably highlights for the Princeton Day School softball team, Paul Lano believes his players distinguished themselves in defeat as well. “The games that stick out in my memory are the competitive losses,” said PDS head coach Lano, pointing to a season-ending 10-9 loss to Lawrence and an earlier 17-13 defeat to Willingboro as memorable efforts. “I consider them highlights because of the competitive nature our players took into and out of those games; that is new ground for many players on this roster. I can proudly say they were always up for the challenges, even in the losses. It was definitely a lesson learned and understanding what we were up against and how much closer we are to what we want to be.” Getting sophomore pitcher Elisabeth Berman to focus on throwing strikes helped keep the games closer this spring. “Pitching to contact gave our defense multiple opportunities per game to function and execute things we practice on a daily basis,” s aid L ano, whos e team ended the spring with a 3-9 record. “It created a glor ified practice for us.

to have such a high level of mature leadership steeped in quality and character.” French provided punch to the lineup, developing into a batting star. “Her intention was to be the best hitter she could be, I recently had Kiely come to a 6-to-12 year old softball hitters clinic I was conducting in Florence,” said Lano. “She was such a great student of hitting, she mirrors everything I have ever asked of her to do to be that hitter. She understands what you tell her and she puts it into play. Kiely’s attention to detail within the powerful swing she created is a perfect visual example for the eyes of those younger players.” Focusing on defense, Ostendorf shored up the Panther outfield. “Her intention was to be the best outfielder she could be, always asking for extra opportunities to work on it,” said Lano. “Amanda and her rocket ar m became our center fielder, completing our up the middle defense. Amanda’s mission was accomplished.” Asplundh, for her part, was on a mission to get the most out of her ability. “Her intentions are always to be the best everything she could be,” said Lano. “Annika is admired by not only her teammates, but coaches as well, for just
about everything she does. At the top of that list is the effort she puts in to learn and conquer anything she’s interested in. Annika was the leader of our infield and our defense. She also taught herself how to pitch, spending hours working on it after practice. She would only pitch in relief roles, where she acquired a couple of saves and a couple of wins. On our softball field, Annika’s value is never in question, it’s pronounced and indisputable. What she’s accomplished in PDS softball is truly remarkable.” With a core of returners featuring Julie Patterson ’19, Gia Massari ’20, Hailey Young ’19, Brooke Smukler ’19, and Giulia Gerschel ’19 along with Berman, the Panthers are primed to accomplish more going forward. “There will be a very large and obvious void left behind by our departing seniors, but I’m very comfortable with the legacy those seniors have created as they leave,” said Lano, noting that assistant coach Heather Farlow played a key role this spring. “The six players have all contributed a great deal to our recent successes. They are all very capable of upholding and expanding on the current culture with dedication and cooperation now common place. They also have high expectations of their own they are motivated to exceed.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries
George Luchak Dr. George Luchak, who introduced the academic study of operations research at the Princeton University School of Engineering in 1966, died peacefully at his home in Princeton in early June 2017, surrounded by Elizabeth, his wife of 68 years, and his family. Dr. Luchak was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to Eli and “gennie” Luchak, and was the eldest of 10 children. He ear ned his undergraduate degree in mathematics and physics at the University of Toronto in 1942, which he obtained a year early in order to enlist in the Canadian Army during World War II. He rose to the rank of Captain and was stationed in London, and thereafter participated in the invasion of Europe, landing at Normandy Beach. After the German defeat, he taught mathematics at the Joint Services Staff College of the United Kingdom and then returned to the University of Toronto in 1946, where he earned his PhD in physics. His PhD dissertation, Theory of the Earth’s Magnetic Field, was published in 1953 and was referenced in 2010 to explain the magnetic fields of neutron stars. While in graduate school, he met Elizabeth Szilagyi, the love of his life, at Hart House, where she did graduate work after receiving her undergraduate degree from the University of Alberta. In 1949, they were married in Calgary, Alberta. They lived in Ralston, Alberta, and began to raise a family. Dr. Luchak worked at the Canadian Defense and Research Board as a research scientist from 1949 to 1956 in Suffield, Alberta, where he published papers in the diverse fields of environmental physics, colloid sciences, mathematics, and queuing theory. In 1954, he was the Canadian representative (and one of the first Canadians) to observe an atmospheric atomic bomb test in the Nevada desert. He also was the first Canadian to publish an article on the nascent discipline of operations research. In 1956, Dr. Luchak and his family emigrated to the United States, soon settling in Bucks County, Pa. He helped develop the new field of systems engineering at General Electric (GE) Missile and Space Vehicle Division in Philadelphia, and taught courses at Drexel University and La Salle University. From 1963 through 1966, while a senior scientist at Radio Corporation of America (RCA), Dr. Luchak designed the development program for the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) sitting atop the Saturn rocket
that would take man to the moon, publicly known as the Apollo Program. On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 LEM enabled man to first land and set foot on the moon, an event still considered by many to be NASA’s crowning achievement. In 1966 he joined the faculty of Princeton University as a tenured full professor in the School of Engineering. For the remainder of his professional career, Dr. Luchak taught and conducted research at the School of Engineering where he taught game theory, queuing theory, and graduate courses in Modern Developments in the Management of Industrial Design. While he was teaching at Princeton, Dr. Luchak was asked to investigate the New Jersey Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for permission to build a floating nuclear power plant off the coast of Ocean County in the mid-70s. His testimony before the NRC was instrumental in the decision of the NRC to recommend against granting PSE&G a permit to build the reactor. In recognition of his scientific and academic achievements, Dr. Luchak was appointed by Governor Kean to the Science Advisory Committee for the State of New Jersey, where he served as a member and then as chairman from 1982 through 1984. Dr. Luchak continued to be prominent in the Princeton community after retiring in 1986. A true Renaissance man, he actively was engaged in his research as well as other intellectual and cultural pursuits for the next 31 years. In his spare time he continued to develop and expand his proficiency at poker. His love of the game was shared weekly with the Poker Group, which met at the Nassau Club of Princeton. Dr. Luchak was an active charter member of the Poker Group for almost 50 years. The select membership consisted of such well-known figures as Fletcher Knebel, Pe ter B e n ch le y, A r nold Roth, U.S. District Judge Joe Irenas, as well as academics, businessmen, politicians, ambassadors — and others from all walks of life. Dr. Luchak is best remembered for introducing his own variant of “Texas Hold ‘em” to the Poker Group, as well as his razor wit and personal warmth, which created strong bonds of friendship and loyalty with his poker brethren over the years. He was particularly appreciative of his friend John Tucker, who drove him to and from the weekly game in recent months, even just five days before his death. Dr. Luchak was an exemplary family man, devoted to his children and grandchildren. He was a mentor, and took a keen interest in their education and careers until the last day of his life. He is survived by his loving wife, Elizabeth; his children and their spouses and partners: Frank Luchak (Nadya Z. Day), Elaine Small (W. Thomas Small, Jr.), Jolanne Stanton (James L. Stanton), and Heather Kunkel (Gerard K. Kunkel); 10 grandchildren: Matthew, James, George, Wills, Brittany, Alicia, Sasha, Alec, Dane, and Eli; his sisters Irene Harason and Patricia Kettle; more than 25 nieces and neph-
ews; and hundreds of former students, who were touched by his dedication and sharing of his wisdom. Please visit www.GeorgeLuchak.org for Guest Book and photos.
A 1971 graduate of Colgate University and 1975 graduate of Cornell Law School, he star ted his career at Weil Gotshal and Manges LLP where he was named partner in 1983. He later moved to Thacher Proffitt and Wood LLP as a partner in litigation. An esteemed and respected attorney, he specialized in international arbitration, representing foreign governments and corporate entities in complex litigation. He authored several articles and a book on these topics. He was the loving father of Ingrid Brodegaard Pascali and Kristin Jaffe Brodegaard and grandfather to Catherine and Victoria Pascali. He also leaves behind Carolyn Quay Wilson his beloved companion Ekaterina Schoenefeld. Carolyn Quay Wilson, 88, of Princeton, died peacefully at home surrounded by family on Sunday June 18, 2017. Born on May 2, 1929, originally from Wayzata, Minn., she was the third daughter of Arthur H. Quay, president of the First National Bank of Minneapolis, and Marion S. Quay. She attended Carlton College and graduated from the University of Minnesota, where she met and married George E. Wilson.

and camping, even though his idea of an ideal outdoor experience was a dinner at a French restaurant with the window open. He once stunned one of his sons — who had not suspected that his mild-mannered father had been a jazz musician — by pulling down a clarinet from a top shelf of a closet, dusting it off, and launching into George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. In the mid-1970s, he blazed new trails in computer technology while assisting with Betty’s accounting for her new children’s bookstore, the Open Door. This was a time when few people had computers, and even fewer men supported their wives to follow their dreams. Bob found his life’s work in 1976, when he joined Princeton University’s Plasma Physics Laboratory. Bob also held leadership roles in Princeton’s Amnesty International for more than 30 years, and worked in many different community organizations. In 2014, he was honored for his work by the Princeton Democratic Committee for his many years of service to the committee and the Princeton Community. He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Betty, and by his sister Nancy Hope, sons Douglas and Stuart and their families, and many other loving family members.
Edward Logan Edward “Tom” Logan, 66, passed away peacefully at his home in Princeton Junction on June 14, 2017. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Ruby Memorial of Hightstown. Family and friends may offer condolences and share memories at w w w. rubymemorialhome.com. He was born January 28, 1951, in Bridgeport, Conn., to Edward Thomas Logan and Helen Coley Logan. Tom spent most of his childhood years in Beavercreek, Ohio. He moved to Doylestown, Pa. to attend Delaware Valley College where, in 1973, he received a Bachelor of Science in ornamental horticulture. He continued his education at Rutgers University, receiving a Master of Science in 1975. Tom worked in the horticulture industry for 20 years before he and his wife established Logan Associates in 1995. Together they ran the business until 2016, when his illness forced him to retire. Tom was highly respected in the industry for his strong work ethic, integrity, and cheery disposition. He was an active communicant of Queenship of Mary Church in Plainsboro and a member of Knights of Columbus. Through church
he became involved in Habitat for Humanity, where he volunteered to help build a number of houses in nearby communities. Additionally, he volunteered his time at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. Tom was a founding member of the Board of Directors of The Molly Bear Foundation, a non-profit started in memory of his beloved granddaughter, Molly Brown. Tom enjoyed many happy hours with his family at the beach. In his free time he was almost always outdoors; playing golf, tending his yard, washing his truck, or helping a neighbor. Tom married the love of his life, Regina Murphy on August 11, 1973. During their 43 years of marriage they were all about family. Together they raised four daughters, and the blessings of sons-in-law and grandchildren made their lives even better. Tom is remembered with love by his wife Regina Murphy Logan ; his daughter Erin Brown and her husband Sean of Washington, Conn.; Colleen Wilberts and her husband Steven of Houston, Tex.; Cara Capadona and her husband Bradley of West Caldwell, N.J.; and Monica Logan and her boyfriend Timothy Villanueva of Houston, Tex.; his grandchildren, Gavin and Bridget Brown; Ethan, Thea, and Callum Wilberts; Sophia, Audrey, and Max Capadona; his sisters, Roberta Norman (Richard); Betsy Keyes (Michael); Ann Mundy; and brother Coley Logan (Martha); his brothers-in-law, Paul McCarthy (Nancy); Daniel Murphy (Helena); Peter Murphy (Kathy); sisters-in-law, Maura LaBarre (Ron); Deirdre Ely (Chris); former sister-in-law, Linda Murphy. Tom was predeceased by his granddaughter Molly Brown and nephew Jason Mundy. He will be greatly missed by his many nieces and nephews. The family extends their gratitude for the compassionate care given to Tom from Victor Iturbides, MD, the neuro-oncology team at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and the hospice team at Princeton Homecare Services. A Memorial Mass was offered at Queenship of Mary Roman Catholic Church in Plainsboro on Tuesday, June 20, 2017 at 10 a.m. Family received friends at the church from 9:30 a.m. — 10 a.m. Interment followed at Holy Cross Burial Park in East Brunswick. Donations in Tom’s honor may be made to The Molly Bear Foundation, PO Box 1258, Hightstown, NJ 08520 or www.mollybear.org.

Trinity Church In Rocky Hill Welcomes New Vicar
The parishioners at Trinit y Episcopal Church on Crescent Avenue in Rocky Hill have just welcomed a new vicar. The Reverend Johan Johnson divides his time between Rocky Hill and Hightstown where he serves as chaplain at the Peddie School. He lives in Hightstown with his wife and their two children, ages 5 and 7 years old. Father Johnson’s hope is that his ministry at Trinity will include outreach that improves the life of the community. For 16 years, he served a parish with a large, aging church building in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. “In that neighborhood at the 125th Street subway station there is a long staircase and an escalator. But the escalator had been out of service for years. We got together as a group of churches to lobby the MTA to get that escalator fixed. That’s the faith community getting together
mension to the feel of the worship service.” He’s also been moved by the care that’s gone into the memorial garden that is next to the historic church. “I’d like to see it become a place where people can come and reflect,” said Father Johnson. And, of course, he’s taking advantage of the other wonderful things that Rocky Hill has to offer. “My family and I just got our library cards at the Mary Jacobs Library. The kids were very excited,” said Father Johnson. Sunday morning services are at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. More information about Trinity Church can be found at: www.trinityrockyhill.org.

and using our spirituality to make the community where we live a better place.” So far, in Rocky Hill he’s just been getting to know the parish and the neighborhood. “I very much like that the church building is small. In my previous parish so much of the focus had to be on maintaining the building and fixing the boiler. Here the focus can be on the people and on what our ministry is,” said Father Johnson.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A LANDLORD? July and August can be make-it-or-break-it months for a lot of sellers of unoccupied homes. After all, that’s when the home-buying frenzy of spring and summer is starting to slow down dramatically. For a lot of sellers, that’s the time when they think seriously about becoming landlords, renting out their homes rather than lowering their prices. For some people, that may be a good strategy. But for most, it can lead to a whole host of problems and win up being a lot more costly than they ever dreamed. New Jersey has some really complex landlord-tenant rules and regulations, and you need to be well-versed in them in order to avoid incurring some hefty penalties. Plus, being a landlord comes with a lot of inspections and “fixes” before you can start renting. And of course, dealing with tenants offers a whole new set of hassles and headaches that can quickly eat into any ideas you may have of a second income stream. For most people, lowering the asking price is a far better strategy. And if your home hasn’t sold, it’s a good indication your price may be too high to begin with. Meet with your Realtor and get their input before you make any big decision that could have unpleasant results for your income and your peace of mind.
