Local Police Respond to Tense Climate

Three police officers were killed and three others wounded last Sunday morning in an ambush in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ten days earlier, five officers had been shot dead and 12 injured during an otherwise peaceful protest in Dallas, Texas. Twenty-eight officers have died from gunshots this year, as opposed to 18 at this point last year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. In every police department — urban, rural or suburban — tensions are running high and vigilance has become a top priority. Princeton is no exception. “Currently the threats are many and widespread. Officers are being targeted, ambushed and slaughtered nationwide, and I am extremely concerned about this,” stated Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter. According to Mr. Sutter, he has ordered all patrol units to include not one but two officers, and the Princeton Police Department (PPD) is “monitoring intelligence reports very carefully. Until those reports show a decrease in the threats against law enforcement officers, we will take these and other heightened precautions to protect our officers.”

Taking a pro-active approach to the challenges of the current crisis, Mr. Sutter said that the Princeton police will be increasing their “positive footprint in the community.” He explained, “More than ever our community needs to see our officers as the well intended, everyday men and women they are. These are daughters, sons, husbands, wives, sisters, and brothers that have the same concerns that every other American has right now. The only way for our community to see this for themselves is to encounter our officers in a positive

way on an individual basis.” The officers of the PPD will be more present throughout town, according to Mr. Sutter, as they seek to increase visibility and positive encounters. “When our community gets to know our officers on a firstname basis, trust in the department and the legitimacy of our mission will be more likely earned,” he pointed out. “This type of relationship-building is exactly what our police departments need right now.” Mr. Sutter added that the police will also be “engaging in meetings and other

206 is a major connector road between Trenton and Princeton and points north, and that bridge over Stony Brook, which is the oldest bridge in the state, is in very poor condition.” The bridge project was included in Governor Chris Christie’s July 8 order to stop $3.5 billion of “nonessential” road and rail projects in the state, in response to a stalemate in the Senate over which taxes should be cut in exchange for raising the gas tax to fund road work. Mr. Christie had earlier made a deal with the state Assembly to replenish the nearly empty Transportation Trust Fund by raising New Jersey’s gas tax 23 cents a gallon, in exchange for lowering the state’s sales tax from seven to six percent by 2018. According to Mayor Liz Lempert, who expressed support last week of the County’s efforts to make an exemption and let work on the bridge continue, Governor Christie’s office sent a second notice earlier this week reiterating the stoppage. But no information was provided about when work could resume. —Anne Levin

Staging the event in Princeton was the idea of Glenn Thomas, an organ enthusiast and collector who lives in Belle Mead. “Several hundred people do these band organ rallies in the summer at various interesting places in the United States. Virtually all have been in small towns, resort areas, places that are sort of quiet and rural that lend themselves to tree lined streets and not that many people,” Mr. Thomas said. “I thought Princeton would be absolutely perfect. It’s a cultural, family-oriented town, and very compact.” Obtaining all of the required permits was a challenge, but Mr. Thomas was persistent. “Regardless of some initial roadblocks that were thrown up, it became apparent t hat t he more people I talked to, the more excited I got about the possibility of doing this,” he said. “There were extensive conversations, and it took a lot of work. But Palmer Square Management and the Arts Council have been great. And now it’s going to happen.” Me rch a nt s t h rou g h ou t town have been enthusiastic about participating. Plans are for instruments of various shapes, periods, and sizes to be placed in Palmer Square and outside the 31 West Broad Street, Hopewell, New Jersey 08525 Garden Theater, The Bent Spoon, Jammin’ Crepes, 609.466.3655 baxterconstruction.com and other locations.

Teens From Mercer and Bucks Take Part in Youth Program

THE MIGHTY WURLITZER: Part of Glenn Thomas’s extensive collection of mechanical instruments, this intricately carved and painted organ will be on display somewhere on the streets of Princeton the weekend of August 6 and 7.

instruments play is period music from about 1910 to 1930, but we also have arrangers who make modern and contemporar y music to be played,” Mr. Thomas said. “So it’s not unusual to be able to hear music from today or yesterday. There’s a little bit of everything — pop, rag, blues, marches, fox trots, classical — it pretty much depends on the type of organ.” A n ita Fresolone, marketing director of Palmer Square Management, said she was hooked in by Mr. Thomas’s passion for the topic. “When I met him I was so fascinated to learn about this whole other world out there that I didn’t know about,” she said. “I love

the idea of spreading these kinds of things around town. It’s like the Pokemon Go of organs — you can find them at different locations. It’s so different. I think it will be a great hit with families.” Mr. Thomas credits his passion for mechanical instruments to childhood trips to Disneyland and Griffith Park in his native Los Angeles. “Disneyland had some old player pianos and organs, and Griffith Park had a carousel with a very large mechanical organ,” he said. “I was between five and 10 years old. It really stuck with me and as I gradually got into my teen years, with some bucks, I got seriously interested. I would travel around to see them. I got my first player piano, and it sort of grew from there.” He moved to New Jersey after landing a job in New York City’s financial services industry. Two years ago, Mr. Thomas retired. His focus now is his “full-time hobby,” as he said. In addition to staging the Princeton event, he produces music rolls for band organs and coin pianos, and edits his organization’s bi-monthly publication. His private collection includes more than 20 restored, antique large

Mr. Thomas’s collection is a major destination, on a field trip, for those attending the convention. There is no rain date for the organ display, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. “We have tarps and trailers. If it rains, we can deal with it,” Mr. Thomas said. “August showers tend to be short.” Dur ing the convention week, Mr. Thomas hopes members of the public will stop in to the Nassau Inn to visit an exhibit in AMICA’s hospitality room of about five coin-operated player pianos, nickelodeons, and ot h e r i n s t r u m e nt s. T h e weekend, town-wide display that follows is aimed not only at enthusiasts, but at the public as well. “We want to do everything we can to expose people and get them interested,” Mr. Thomas said. “Our organizations are either stable or declining in membership. We want to bring in young people and families and spark their enthusiasm.” —Anne Levin

The Jewish Community Youth Foundation is kicking off its 14th year giving back to local, national, and global non-profit groups beginning this fall. The program brings together teens in grades 8 through 12 from the Mercer and Bucks counties area. The Jewish Community Youth Foundation is a project of Jewish Family and Children’s Service and funded by the Ricky and Andrew J. Shechtel Philanthropic Fund and the Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks. The program is designed to have teens learn about, experience, and act upon Jewish values. The program is one of 124 similar initiatives around the country. Each participant contributes $120, which is then matched by the Shechtel Philanthropic Fund and The Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks. The contributions are pooled together and each group allocates thousands of dollars to worthy causes. Students meet to assess the kinds of programs and issues they wish to explore and visit those agencies. At year-end, each group decides how their dollars will be donated. Since the Jewish Community Youth Foundation’s inception, the teen philanthropists have donated $669,850 to 58 different Jewish recipient agencies. Registration is now open for all participants in 8th through 10th grades, and returning participants in 11th and 12th grades. Space is limited. For more information or to register, visit www. jfcsonline.org/jcyf or contact Celeste Albert at (609) 987-8100 or CelesteA@jfcsonline.org.

Sandy Bing started his career in education in 1960 as a chemistry and biology teacher at the Hun School, later becoming dean of students, then director of admissions. In 1969 he took over as head of the Upper School at Princeton Day School. He served in that posit ion, and as ac t ing headmaster for two one-year stints, until 1987 when he helped to form the Princeton Educational Resource Center, a not-for-profit consulting center. In 1996 Mr. Bing plunged back into the school setting at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, where he served for eight years as dean of the faculty. “Sandy embodied and gave a clear voice to PDS’s community values,” said Treby McLaughlin Williams, a 1980 PDS graduate, later chair of the PDS Board of Trustees and currently Princeton University executive vice president. “He demanded a currency of respect, integrity, and compassion in the thousands of daily transactions that ultimately constituted the school’s culture. Most importantly, Sandy truly believed in each student’s potential; he knew his students so well and cared so much. In mentoring students, Sandy was strict and supportive in equal measure — the perfect alchemy for motivating students to be their best. He half_page_july2.pdf was my earliest role model 1 of a great leader and contin-

ues to inspire me.” In reflecting on his career in education at Hun, PDS, and Stuart, Mr. Bing commented on the factors which motivated him most strongly. “My reason for being in a school was to support and empower people — to support and empower students, and to support and empower teachers,” he said. There were other careers that he could have pursued — “connected to people and being of service to other people, that’s what I enjoyed most.” But when he was applying to medical schools as a senior at Lafayette, he walked by the career placement office one day, saw a posting for teacher of chemistry and biology at the Hun School, and never looked back. “I loved to be in school working with faculty and students. I was very happy doing it,” he stated. “That’s what I wanted to do. In retrospect, there are few things, if any, I would change and certainly not the personal and professional experiences I had at Hun or PDS or Stuart. Those were fulfilling, rewarding times, for me and for my family.” Trusting Mr. Bing described the qualities of personality that led him to the classroom setting and served him well throughout his career. “I believe my greatest attribute, 7/12/16 1:08 PM which is also my greatest

liability, is the trusting. I trust people. When you’re working with young people, there’s nothing more important than to trust them. I hope they knew I could be counted on to do what I promised to do. If a teacher or a student or a parent had an issue or a concern, I would address it without delay. And I always tried to be fair, consistent, and loyal. In addition, I would always extend the benefit of the doubt.” James Byer, a student when Mr. Bing was dean of students at Hun, later a Hun School teacher for 6 years, and then headmaster of Hun from 1994-2002, confirmed Mr. Bing’s selfreflections and praised his accomplishments at Hun, PDS, and Stuart. “Sandy related exceptionally well to a wide range of people in many ways. He was very well prepared and interested in the lives of young people. He was a productive, endearing leader. He was always able to find that line — to be friendly with kids but able to guide them as a professional. He was a great counselor for kids.” Mr. Byer went on to describe their work together, “Sandy became a mentor to me in teaching and administration. I followed him as dean of students at Hun, and his mentorship brought us together as friends. That was unusual. It’s been a wonderful friendship for 56 years.”

A Sounding Board Chip Cash, mathematics chair at Stuart since 1998 when Mr. Bing hired him, echoes Mr. Byer’s sentiments. “I could not have found a more encouraging person with whom to work. Sandy’s perspective on education was student-centered and supportive of the struggles of teachers. He helped me develop my management style, and he led me to understand how to meet the needs of both students and colleagues. His help to me over the years has been invaluable; he is a wise sounding board who does not so much dispense advice, but asks the right questions to help me arrive at well-founded decisions.” In reflecting on his eight years as dean of faculty at Stuart, Mr. Bing described the “culture of trust” that permeated the school. He mentioned how long Stuart, a Roman Catholic institution, “reached out and tried to embrace everyone so no one felt awkward participating in services or other activities,” and he cited the values of “honesty, sharing and service at Stuart, in the best traditions of all religions.” Mr. Bing also commented on the “different kind of culture” of Stuart as an allgirls’ school. “When one speaks of ownership, empowerment, and opportunity for women — where better than Stuart? Those values were certainly encouraged at Stuart, with its strong commitment to women in a school that offered a very challenging college preparatory program.”

P rofiles i n e ducation Hun, PDS, and Stuart’s Sandy Bing: Wise Words on Education and Life

ADVICE FOR EDUCATORS: Sandy Bing, educational leader for over five decades at Hun, PDS, Stuart, and elsewhere, shares his thoughts on students, teachers, administrators and the world of education. (Photo by Donald Gilpin) PDS PDS in the ‘70s and ‘80s, according to Mr. Bing, functioned as a participatory democracy. “There was a great deal of respect accorded to the faculty, the administration, and the students. It was a time when faculty felt they could make a difference. Critical thinking and analysis were prioritized, and the faculty were always involved in analysis of where we were as a school and how we could improve what we were already doing. The academic program and the advisory system continued to develop and evolve. We were always looking to improve. That was reflected in con-

stant discussion about the grading system, the honor code, and many other things that were very important to the school.” Mr. Bing also noted the importance of the PDS advisor system “because it brought together the students and the faculty outside the classroom in a non-threatening environment. Students learned about faculty as people, and faculty worked with and advised students in ways not possible in the classroom.” He explained, “A lot of teachers can go into the classroom with a prepared lesson in mind, but it takes Continued on Next Page

a special situation to be able to sit down with students and have conversations about what’s going on in their lives.” William Burks, retired Princeton physician who was PDS’s Board Chair during Mr. Bing’s tenure, described him as “a magnet for kids,

because he was so authentic, and kids recognized that he was on their side at all times.” Mr. Burks continued, “He was on their wavelength and had a gift of understanding children. He inspired kids to be better than they might have been otherwise. He was so respected by faculty and students alike. It was inspirational to see how he han-

dled so many decisions.” I worked with Sandy Bing for eight years at PDS, 1978-86, and I can confirm what others have said about him. He was a great support to me in my early days as an English teacher and drama director. He created an atmosphere in the school that helped to make the work so positive and productive — and fun.

An important facet of Mr. Bing’s background, a lifelong enthusiasm for the performing arts, led him to help initiate and develop the Lincoln Center program at PDS and to serve as a long-term board member of Young Audiences of New Jersey, a national organization which brings the arts to hundreds of thousands of school children.

Now in energetic retirement, Mr. Bing, 77, happily married for 55 years, lives in Pennington with his wife Iris. They have two adult children and six grandchildren in Lawrenceville and Annapolis, Maryland. Mr. Bing works as a hospice volunteer and serves on several non-profit organizations’ boards, attends dance and music events, particularly the New York City Ballet, reads widely, travels, and “tries to take advantage of everything while we can.” An article about Mr. Bing in the PDS school newspaper 30 years ago featured nu merous t r ibutes f rom teachers and students, attesting to his remarkable qualities as a person and an educator. His colleague Dan Skvir noted attributes that have characterized Sandy Bing throughout his life and career: his “warm friendship and advice, his robust humor, and most of all his genuine interest, concern and love for people, especially young people.” —Donald Gilpin

Princeton Resident Is Co-Chair Of Regional Plan Association

Princeton resident Paul Josephson, a partner in the Cherry Hill office of Duane Morris LLP, has been appointed New Jersey Committee co-chair and to the board of directors of the Regional Plan Association (RPA). The RPA is the leading urban research and advocacy organization that works to improve the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut metropolitan region’s economic health, environmental sustainability and quality of life through research, planning, and advocacy. RPA’s committees — composed of civic, community, and business leaders — provide key strategic advice to the organization. Mr. Josephson will co-chair the New Jersey Committee with former New Jersey Governor James J. Florio. “The RPA’s history of accomplishment for nearly 100 years has left the tristate region markedly better than it otherwise would have been,” said Mr. Josephson. “By providing civic and business leaders with unbiased research and advice, and responsible advocacy, RPA’s positive influence on the development of our region has been remarkable. As the RPA prepares to roll out its fourth regional plan over the next year, I am honored to have been asked by its board to help promote our region’s plans and infrastructure for the next century.” Mr. Josephson has served as chief counsel and as chief of authorities for New Jersey’s Office of the Governor, where he represented New Jersey on matters for more than 50 bi-state and state authorities, including the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Delaware River Port Authority, Delaware River and Bay Authority, New Jersey Transit, New Jersey Turnpike Authority and the New Jersey Pinelands and Meadowlands Commissions. He also served as director of the Division of Law within New Jersey’s Office of Attorney General. Since his state service, Mr. Josephson has been designated to serve as special counsel to New Jersey in complex litigation and oth-

er matters, representing the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and New Jersey Transit in major cases. He was also selected by the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to co-author the Atlantic City Master Plan blueprint for revitalizing that city in 2012. An Essex County native, Mr. Josephson is a 1990 graduate of The George Washington University Law School and a graduate of the University of Michigan.

Police Blotter On July 8, at 10:20 a.m., it was reported that sometime between 12:08 p.m. on July 5 and 11 a.m. on July 8, someone used an email address that was similar to a Princeton Government Official and sent emails to the Finance Department requesting that money be wired to a bank located in Massachusetts. The fraudulent activity was recognized and no money was transferred. On July 9, at 11:42 a.m., it was reported that someone stole a wallet on July 6 at noon from a purse inside St. Paul’s Church on Nassau Street. The wallet was returned to a secretary at the church but $100 was missing and two credit cards were used to make fraudulent purchases online. On July 9, at 11:57 a.m, a sexual assault was reported to police. The incident occurred between December 2015 and June 2016 and involved a male and female juvenile who are familiar with each other. The investigation is ongoing. On July 10, at 2:20 p.m., it was reported that sometime between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. someone threw eggs at a house located on the 200 block of Laurel Circle. On July 11, at 9 a.m., it was reported that several pieces of construction materials were stolen from a job site on Westerly Road. The suspect was identified but the victim did not pursue charges. On July 13, at 12:33 a.m., an 18-year-old male from Princeton was charged with underage possession of alcohol, subsequent to a pedestrian stop on Nassau Street. On July 13, at 6:36 p.m., a victim reported that between 7 p.m. on July 12 and 6:30 a.m. on July 13, someone entered an unlocked vehicle that was parked in the driveway on the first block of Bertrand Drive and stole cash from the center console. On July 14, at 12:41 a.m., a 24-year-old male from Dayton was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Nassau Street after a random plate inquiry revealed an active warrant issued by South Brunswick Municipal Court in the amount of $215. On July 14, at 3:45 p.m., a 43-year-old male from West New York attempted to make a purchase at a store on Palmer Square West using fraudulent credit cards. He was arrested and charged with fraudulent use of a credit card, credit card theft, theft by deception, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of a false government document.

It will include retail and an eatery on the first floor. “We’re in discussions with a local restauranteur,” Mr. Herring said. The Skillman complex, located on Orchard Road, was owned for a time by Computer Associates. On a sprawling 70 acre site, it became too large and difficult to lease. “What do you do with a project when it passes middle age?,” Mr. Herring said. “A lot of buildings like this went up between the 1960s and 1980s. This type of corporate campus phase, though, has ebbed and flowed over time. So we’re left with these white elephants.” Herring bought the complex in 2006 with the intention of making it into Class A office space. New floors, hardscapes, a new entrance, new finishes, and new systems were installed. Energy costs were cut in half. “The biggest challenge is the brokerage community,” Mr. Herring said. “We started to lease space to smaller tenants, and then Johnson & Johnson ended up leasing more.” The company added solar energy and carved off 26 acres for residences, some of which helped Montgomery Township fulfill its affordable housing requirements. “It is almost sold out and rented now,” Mr. Herring said. “It succeeded because we took a white elephant and broke it up into pieces.” Mr. McConaughy’s Brick Farm Group has developed five businesses over the past 12 years, four of which involved revitalization and adaptive reuse of old buildings in Hopewell. Concerned about producing their own food for their family and, later, their friends, Mr. McConaughy and his wife bought land in 2004 and started Double Brook Farm. From there came Brick Farm Market, in a former Chevrolet dealership; Brick Farm Tavern, in a building dating from the 1800s; Hopewell Playhouse, built in

the 1930’s as a theater; and Brick Farm Creamery. The company turned the town’s former Sunoco station on East Broad Street into renovated office and retail space. “The whole project has been about food for and by the community,” Mr. McConaughy said. “Animals are born and raised and harvested on the farm. We’ve lost the idea of community along the way. I want my dollars to stay in town. I want to know where my food comes from. So adaptive reuse and history make a place desirable, and that’s what we do.” The last to speak at the breakfast, Mr. Siegel said his own company “straddles both of their worlds” doing adaptive reuse and traditional suburban office buildings. ML7, which owns approximately $200 million of real estate assets and has offices in Princeton and New York, renovated the old Lahiere’s restaurant now known as Agricola. “We not only make a great building tenants will want, but also buildings that will contribute to the community,” he said. Mr. Siegel’s presentation included buildings ML7 renovated in the Forrestal Center and in Yardley, Pennsylvania. He is especially proud of The Tannery, a 114-year-old former factory on 10.5 acres that had become “a horrible office complex that paid no attention to its surroundings,” he said. Upon discovering that the building had 30-foot ceilings that had been covered up, Mr. Siegel said he bought it on the spot. Since then, he has made an effort to bring back the building’s original architectural elements, keeping interior details like Pennsylvania stone. Asked their favorite thing about doing the work they do, the three speakers answered without hesitation. “Looking at a project and imagining what it can be,” Mr. Siegel said. “Confirmation that we’re doing the right thing,” Mr. McConaughy answered. “Every day is a new day,” Mr. Herring said. “That’s what I love about it.” —Anne Levin

community forums where we openly discuss these issues.” A community event, “Humanizing Our Responses to the Recent National Tragedies,” is scheduled for next Wednesday, July 27 in the John Witherspoon Middle School auditorium. Mr. Sutter will join Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, Rabbi Adam Feldman of the Jewish Center, and Rev. Matthew Ristuccia of Stone Hill Church at the gathering “to process our reactions to the deep fissures” exposed by the tragedies of recent police shootings of African American men and sniper attacks on police. The event will include the sharing of personal perspectives by a representative of the African American community and a representative of the law enforcement community. This “evening of grieving together” seeks to build bridges and take “positive steps toward real reconciliation and growth in our community and our nation,” as announced in the press release for the event. —Donald Gilpin

of the organization working with Sustainable Princeton’s full-time Energy Director, Christine Symington, while the search is underway. “Under Diane’s leadership, Sustainable Princeton has been a pioneer in demonstrating what is possible to achieve at the local level. Sustainable Jersey has learned from the steady stream of good ideas and strong examples that have come out of Princeton and all of New Jersey has benefited as a result,” said Randy Solomon, co-director of Sustainable Jersey, a statewide certifying organization for New Jersey Municipalities. Key accomplishments during Ms. Landis’s tenure include bringing form to the town’s landmark adoption of the Sustainable Princeton Community Plan in 2009, the EnergySmart Homes and

Buildings initiatives in 2013 and 2015, the Great Ideas Breakfast series, Sustainable Jersey Silver Certification and a 2014 Statewide Leadership Award, as well as the first ever analysis of Princeton’s historical electricity and natural gas usage in 2015. More recently, the organization collaborated with the Princeton Merchants Association, McCaffrey’s Food Markets, and the Municipality of Princeton on the Ask First BYOBag campaign that has diverted seven tons of plastic bags and plastic film from Princeton’s landfill. “Diane’s dynamism and creative energy were ideal for grow ing Sustainable Princeton into a groundbreaking organization that dramatically elevated the prof ile of sus tainabilit y within our community and

helped integrate environmental responsibility into key municipal decision-making processes,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. A long -t ime Pr inceton resident, Ms. Landis was a founder of the Princeton School Gardens Cooperative, an initiative that fosters garden and food-based education in the classroom and community. She is looking forward to the next chapter in her career focusing on creative writing, community organizing, and teaching yoga. “I have been honored to have worked with so many committed and passionate people who helped grow Sustainable Princeton into a vibrant organization. Our success is a tribute to the collective spirit of the Princeton community,” she said. ———

Mailbox AARP Urges Modest, Targeted Tax Relief For New Jersey’s Middle Class Retirees

To the Editor: On behalf of our 1.3 million members in New Jersey, AARP supports proposals to increase the personal income tax pension and retirement income exclusion fivefold over three years. An income tax cut for retirees will help those who have lived and raised their families in New Jersey stay in New Jersey in their retirement years by allowing our middle class retirees to keep more of their hard-earned and hard-saved money to spend on goods and services throughout our state, supporting economic growth. Those 50 years and older play a critical role in New Jersey’s economy, according to a recent Longevity Economy report prepared for AARP. New Jerseyans over 50 create an economic impact much greater than their proportion of the population, outspending the average consumer across most categories and affecting all sectors of the economy. AARP New Jersey believes it is important to have policies in place that support this important economic engine in our state. We urge lawmakers to ensure that any middle class tax relief include modest, targeted tax relief for New Jersey’s middle class retirees.

American Heart Association Urges Complete Streets Policies for Future Road Construction

To the Editor: Streets are the great connectors of any community. They don’t just take us from one place to another in our cars, they bring us together on bike rides, jogs, and walks. At least, that’s what they’re supposed to do. But the opposite is true in many New Jersey neighborhoods: streets are unsafe for people who walk, bike, or run because there are so few bike lanes, sidewalks, or crosswalks. This not only limits our choices for how to travel, but also discourages exercise. According to the American Heart Association, physical inactivity is a leading risk factor for developing cardiovascular diseases. And in today’s world, it can be difficult to lead an active lifestyle. Sedentary jobs have increased 83 percent since 1950 while physically active jobs now make up less than 20 percent of our workforce. Nearly

70 percent of American adults and one in three children are considered overweight or obese. That’s why we must work together to make it easy and safe to go out and get active. Complete Streets policies ensure that future road construction build an environment meant to be shared by all travelers — whether it’s bikers, walkers, or drivers. unfortunately for the Garden State, only seven out of 21 counties and 130 out of more than 500 municipalities have Complete Streets policies. The American Heart Association is seeking individuals, community groups, and organizations who are interested in serving on a volunteer committee to raise awareness and urge action around this issue. Please contact courtney.nelson@heart.org or at (609) 223-3734 if you are interested in making New Jersey a healthier and safer place to live.

Both Presidential Candidates Need to Tell Voters They’ll Keep Social Security Strong

To the Editor: Both presidential candidates will take the stage in the next two weeks to try to sell us on the idea they can lead our nation. One way to demonstrate they have what it takes to be president is to tell voters how they’ll keep Social Security strong for our kids and grandkids. millions of Garden State residents are paying into Social Security, but the program is out of date. If our nation’s leaders don’t act, future retirees could lose up to $10,000 a year in benefits. With a volatile stock market and fewer jobs offering pensions, today’s workers and future generations will likely have an even greater need for Social Security. Before we decide who to vote for, we deserve to know if the presidential candidates will commit to taking action to update Social Security for us, our kids and grandkids.

Celebrating Baseball, Highway Dreams, and Small Town America in a Time of Terror

he time’s right for a column about baseball. The All-Star game’s behind us, the World Series of American politics has begun, and I’ve been reading The Baseball Whisperer (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt $26), a book by Michael Tackett subtitled “A Small-Town Coach Who Shaped Big League Dreams.” The town is Clarinda, Iowa, named for Clarinda Buck, who, legend has it, carried water to workmen when the area was being surveyed 150 years ago. As if it weren’t enough to shape your dreams in a place with a name evoking Glinda the Good Witch of the South, it turns out that the most illustrious player whispered to by that smalltown coach was baseball’s Wizard of Oz, Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith. So why not plunge right into a celebration of field-of-dreams Americana? My problem is it’s hard to write about books or baseball or politics these days without reference to the shootings in Dallas, Baton Rouge, and St. Paul, or to, this above all, the nightmare in Nice. A few hours after I saw videos of the Bastille Day massacre, I was taking the Alexander Road exit off U.S. 1 when a big truck made the turn right on top of me, looming in the rear view mirror like some cartoon of menace with its shiny chrome teeth. Any other time I might feel mildly irritated — is that guy tailgating me? Or is he being perverse, playing copycat? With everything else to worry about, the notion of a truck that kills works as a metaphor, the carrier of a cargo of bad news, bearing down on us, day after day. Trucks and Baseball Between the ages of 10 and 12, I spent part of each summer at my maternal grandparents’ house in Overland Park, Kansas, where my bedroom window overlooked U.S. Highway 69. I went to sleep every night to the road music of cars and trucks going places. As much as cars contributed to that soundscape of motion, the trucks were what fired my imagination because I knew they had unlimited destinations nationwide. And as the future recipient of life-saving lifts from British, French, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Iranian, Afghani, Indian, and American truck drivers in hitchhiking adventures a decade later, I still feel a visceral connection with trucks and truckers. Which is why I’m probably the only person in my neighborhood who likes the idea that State Highway 206, the north-south artery of New Jersey, is only a stone’s throw from my back yard, in spite of the damage that does to our property value. Those midwestern preteen summers were also all about baseball. My Overland Park grandmother made me a St. Louis Cardinal uniform from scratch, complete with the red piping on the sleeves and two bright red birds on a slanted yellow bat. Like any good tailor, she measured me, took one of my photos of Stan Musial to copy, sketched the sacred emblem, found the right material, and ran it through the sewing machine, but did I ever play ball in it? How could I? My friends in the neighborhood would have made fun of me.

CALLING.

And I knew that one head-first slide would almost surely destroy my grandmother’s handiwork. By all rights baseball should be worlds apart from shootings in Dallas, mass murder in Nice, failed military coups in Turkey, and demagogues in Cleveland, with ball parks as the equivalent of the “safe houses” in television dramas like The Americans. But “safety” taken to a bleak extreme was the ghost story of the empty stadium at Camden Yards last spring, closed to baseball fans due to fear of riots after the death of Freddie Gray. And my idea of the ultimate safe house, Busch Stadium in St. Louis, saw protesters and fans shouting at each other outside the park during the 2014 playoffs, blowback from the shooting of Michael Brown, whose parents put his St. Louis Cardinal

ize her as my Overland Park grandmother when she was young and lovely and just the sort of woman who would carry water to the workers, having grown up in Indian Territory where her father was a station agent on the Rock Island line. Road Games Until I read about Merl Eberly’s team the Clarinda A’s in The Baseball Whisperer, I’d never heard of the semipro leagues forming the National Baseball Congress. Clarinda is only a two-hour drive from the house by the highway in Overland Park. Even closer is Saint Joseph, Mo., or St. Joe, as my mother fondly called it, where my grandparents moved shortly after she was born. Having consulted an AAA road atlas, I see that although U.S. 69 morphs into various other highways and

cap on his coffin. Both he and the cop who killed him were Cardinals fans. Put shooter and victim in the right environment, side by side at a game, and they’re pulling for the same team. It’s the core reality of baseball. No politics, no war, no terrorism. Just travel the yellow-brick road into the emerald-green land of the National Pastime. But I keep seeing that truck. Blushing Clarinda So think of something else. Think of an Iowa woman named Clarinda carrying water to the workers, an image glorified for all time by Sergio Leone in his epic western Once Upon a Time in America, where Claudia Cardinale doles out water for the men building the town that was her mail-order husband’s great dream. And think how it was when some city father asked Clarinda, “Is it okay if we use your name for the town?” Would she smile? And blush? How could she not? I like to visual-

interstates, it still runs from Port Arthur, Texas to Albert Lea, Minnesota, which means that when the Clarinda A’s took the team bus, the Blue Goose, to games with their arch rivals the St. Joseph Mustangs, or some other team in their league, they used the highway of my dreams or at least one of the roads taken for trips to my other grandparents in Topeka, home of the Topeka Owls (a real minor league team), or to my birthplace, home of the Hutchinson Broncos, where future stars like Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Rafael Palmeiro began their steroidshadowed careers. Clarinda and the World I’ve found a Princeton connection in Clarinda, whose native son, bandleader Glenn Miller, helped create the soundtrack for wartime America with numbers like “Chattanooga Choo-Choo” and “In the Mood.” When the world premiere of The Glenn Miller Story was held at the Clarinda Theater, the guest of honor was the

star, Princeton alum Jimmy Stewart. In 1903, when President Teddy Roosevelt gave a speech in Clarinda, he deemed it true to “the folklore of smalltown virtues.” Look online and you learn that it was also the site of an internment camp for German, Italian, and Japanese POWs. And according to The Baseball Whisperer, Clarinda was considered “a relatively safe passageway” for runaway slaves, many of whom settled and raised families there. Less than a mile from Glenn Miller’s birthplace was the African-American neighborhood known as Guntown, “named for its frequent shootings over robberies and infidelities.” His Remarkable Will There’s no mention of Guntown in Michael Tackett’s account of Ozzie Smith in Clarinda. Clearly Ozzie was a stranger in a strange land when he came there from South Central Los Angeles in the summer of 1975, going “from urban to rural, from black to white” still carrying the memory of the Watts riots in the 1960s, when his mother “lay on top of him to protect him from bullets whizzing past.” It would also be hard to imagine a more unlikely prospect for the Major Leagues, let alone the Hall of Fame. Slightly built (5’9, 140 pounds) and a weak hitter, the main thing he had going for him was “his remarkable will and willingness to work to overcome his physical limitations.” During the twohour drive from the Omaha airport, he was “struck by the flatness of the land, the height of the corn, and what seemed like the endless distance between farms and small towns.” The sign that greeted him when they came to Clarinda read WHERE THE WORK ETHIC STILL WORKS. Tested that first day by Merl Eberly, who kept hitting ground balls at the puny newcomer, Smith imagined the coach thinking, “I will wear him out. He’s only 150 pounds. He will be back on a bus or a plane.” So it went, Eberly “hitting the balls harder and harder, deeper in the hole at shortstop, over the bag at second base, sometimes trying to create a bad hop.” Smith got them all, and after thirty minutes in the Iowa heat and humidity, the coach gave up. As the Wizard told Tackett, “Guys like me were always told, ‘You can’t, you can’t, you can’t, you won’t, you won’t, you won’t.” Ozzie Smith would go on to help the Cardinals win four pennants and two World Championships, setting an example that said, “You can and you will.” ut in the end there’s no way to work around the news. One of the Americans listed among the dead in Nice was 11-year-old Brodie Copeland, who played second base for the Hill Country baseball club in Houston and was known as a good hitter and an aspiring actor. There’s a photo online showing the son, mitt in hand, looking up at the father, who died with him, both figures in silhouette, an image for a memorial worthy of a place in Cooperstown. —Stuart Mitchner

THE TOSHIKO TAKAEZU TERRACE: The Hunterdon Art Museum’s (HAM) terrace was named in honor of artist Toshiko Takaezu, one of the 20th century’s most influential ceramists. Ms. Takaezu moved to Clinton because she loved the waterfall that separates HAM from the Red Mill. She donated much of her time to the museum, and taught at Princeton University for many years.

HAM Honors Ceramist, Former PU Professor

When renowned ceramic artist Toshiko Takaezu first gazed upon the charming waterfall beside the Hunterdon Art Museum (HAM) in the summer of 1964, she knew she had found just what she was looking for: a home and a peaceful place where she could focus on her work. “What a beautiful scene,” she remembered thinking. That inspiring view brought her from the Midwest to Clinton. She opened

a studio at the historic Music Hall to create art and spent nearly five decades donating her time and energy to the museum, playing a vital role in its growth and passion for contemporary art. Now that space beside the waterfall is named in her honor: The Toshiko Takaezu Terrace. “Naming the terrace in Toshiko’s honor serves as a tribute to an artist who was intimately involved with the museum and whose inspiring work influenced generations of artists,” said Mar-

jorie Frankel Nathanson, executive director of the Hunterdon Art Museum. Takaezu passed away at the age of 88 in 2011. All the ceramic tiles on the terrace commemorating Takaezu were created at The Takaezu Studio in Quakertown and fired in her kiln. There are four blue tiles, which hold special significance. “Toshiko was well known for her blue glaze in her work,” said Don Fletcher of The Takaezu Studio in Quakertown. We had a little

bit of glaze left over that was hers, and we wanted to use it to add a little bit of her personality to the terrace. The glaze is a direct representation of her spirit.” Takaezu’s work evolved early on from traditional small ut ilitar ian ves s els into the closed forms for which she became known worldwide. The New York Times noted, “[In her] stoneware and porcelain works, some small enough to fit in the palm of one hand, others monoliths more than six feet tall, Ms. Takaezu blended the expressive bravura of painters like Jackson Pollack and Franz Kline with the calm, meditative quality of traditional Japanese pottery in forms suggestive of acorns, melons, or tree trunks.” Two of Takaezu’s pieces are on display at the museum including Three Graces, which can be found appropriately enough, in the terrace garden. Takaezu had created Three Graces as she sought to experiment in her expanded studio space with bigger kilns to create works on a larger scale. Three Graces — representing love, beauty, and wisdom — are large cylindrical cast-bronze pieces that undulate from their base. The piece is on long-term loan from The Takaezu Studio. Takaezu was born in Hawaii, studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan under a scholarship, before teaching at the University of Wisconsin and the Cleveland Institute of Art. She said she moved to Clinton because she “wanted a quiet studio where I [could] concentrate on my work.” A few years later, she began teaching classes at Princeton University, and did so until 1992. In the 1960s, Takaezu opened a shop in the museum to sell the work of fellow artists. In 1967, she organized and planned an Invitational Craft Exhibition that featured the works of prominent artists including George Nakashima, a leading innovator of 20 th century furniture design and a father of the American craft movement; and Lenore Tawney, whose monumental sculptural weavings helped create the genre of fiber art. More than 700 people

Takaezu’s work was celebrated in three museum exhibitions, including a 1998 show that filled the museum’s three floors with her ceramics, sculptural forms, painting, and weaving. In 2010, the Emperor of Japan presented her with t h e Ko n j u h o s h o A w a r d conferred on indiv iduals who have made significant contributions to Japanese society, and she chose to have the presentation at the Hunterdon Art Museum. A year later, her memorial service was held at the museum, near the idyllic waterfall she adored. ———

New Jersey Symphony Orchestra Presents Works by the Next Generation of Composers

or the past three years, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra has teamed up with Princeton University to present a week-long Composition Institute sponsored by the Edward T. Cone Foundation. Last week, four emerging composers, selected from an international applicant pool of university composition students and composers in the early stages of their careers, worked on the details and refinements of their pieces, aided by the players of the NJSO, Institute conductor David Robertson, and Institute Director and composer Steven Mackey. The week culminated in a performance by the NJSO Saturday night in Richardson Auditorium. The four composers featured in this year’s Composition Institute came from different regions of the United States and the world, and each brought a different musical background to their one-movement works. One common theme through the five pieces heard Saturday night was that composers’ works are strongly affected by what is going on around them. In the case of the first composers featured, an overriding influence on the music was nature. Vermont native Matthew Browne reached back to the 19th-century form of the tone poem for Farthest South, a musical depiction of British explorer Ernest Shackleton’s early 20th-century expedition to Antarctica. Browne focused on Shackleton’s arrival at Beardmore Glacier, where the explorers came upon a Stonehenge-like field of glass structures of unknown origin and seemingly untouched for 4,000 years. Browne’s music captured the vast and cold environment of Antarctica, with the piece building in intensity as one would stand on the glacier and take in more and more of the expansive view. Browne’s orchestral color was shaded with raindrops of percussion, a punctuating harp, and lean strings, as well as sweet melodies from violist Frank Foerster, cellist Ted Ackerman, and concertmaster Eric Wyrick. In the full symphonic sound of the NJSO, one could sense the wonder of the unexplored Antarctic terrain. Composer James Anderson, a native of the Pacific Northwest, brought nature from a different part of the world to life in Places With Pillars, a work not about structures, but depicting the pillars of life toward which people strive. Anderson found inspiration for this work on the beaches of southern California, creating

a strong and powerful work. Heavy with percussion, Places With Pillars often moved forward breathlessly, with strength from all instruments. Conductor David Robertson maintained good control over the dynamic builds and drama of the music, as the piece ended on a strong note. Korean native Jung Yoon Wie has had a lifelong fascination with water and light. Water Prism for Orchestra captured how light passes through a prism, creating a rainbow. Centered on the pitch “A,” Water Prism traveled through three musical registers in which Wie sees attributes — the high registers of music being sacred, the middle registers human, and the lower registers representing deeper emotions. The orchestral color of Water Prism became more “human” as the work progressed, with lush orchestral writing contrasting with scattered pitches depicting light. The musical effects within this work were poignant, as orchestral light filled the hall at the work’s close. New Hampshire composer Will Stackpole created …Ask Questions Later as a response to the gun violence in this country in 2015 — a musical social commentary even more appropriate a year after the piece’s composition. Stackpole described his piece as “music based on a tempestuous onset, followed by serene music that is cut off before the thought is completed.” Stackpole’s music was jarring, unsettled, and urgent, with sharp strokes aided by percussion and periodic solo trumpet — the universal instrument of tragedy. As the piece moved along, things quieted down and then started up again, similar to real events throughout the course of the past year. Stackpole’s calm passages were very serene, as life returned to normal in his musical scenario, but the undercurrent of instability was always there. nstitute Director Steven Mackey also contributed a piece to the concert — a work commissioned in 2006 for the opening of Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. Turn the Key was a play on words in Mackey’s use of a 7-beat clave rhythm (also the Spanish word for “key”) in a piece which inaugurated the acoustics of a new concert hall. Turn the Key had many textures, as the musical “keys” tumbled into one another in a perfect ending to an evening of very accessible new works which hopefully will have future lives in the concert repertory. —Nancy Plum

HOW TO GUIDE

Three Reasons to Renovate Your Home. by Kevin Wilkes, AIA

When you want to transform the physical surroundings in which you live, you have three options: build a new home; move to a different home and renovate; renovate the home in which you presently live. Most often, the last solution is the optimal one. Your family has a sense of place in your existing neighborhood – your children are connected to their friends and school, you have your favorite walk around the block and you know your neighbors. Our clients came home to find the neighborhood children excited last week that their two playmates were returning – they all planned new games to play together in the front yard. After time in your present home, you know what you like and don’t like – you have the ability to amplify the positive features of a particular property and solve the things that you find less than appealing. With a sensitive architect who understands homes, you can custom tailor your design to meet the specific needs of your family – and avoid the cookie cutter approach of a stock plan builder who repeats designs time and again. You can take advantage of new efficiencies of building products and high standard construction. You can take advantage of existing views, established mature trees and landscape elements, micro-climate advantages and at the same time upgrade the systems and technology of your home to match 21st century standards. You can adapt the floor plan to open it up to contemporary lifestyle patterns of functional family living with style and elegance. What is the best approach to a successful renovation? The Design Build approach is a proven method. Select a team of professionals who understand your needs and have a track record of producing exciting and unique results. The best teams are those led by registered architects, preferably two instead of one to make certain you have wide coverage of good design input. If their work has been published in national design journals, you can be comfortable that they have peer respect. That team should have their own full time employees who perform construction under direct supervision of the design leaders. They should be able to custom fabricate any item needed to ensure the highest quality construction. And your design build team must be able to accomplish all this within your budget goals, through an efficient schedule, with the final result of making your home memorable and enjoyable for years to come.

HOW TO GUIDE

Questions & Answers What does a homeowner needs to know about their insurance? There are different types of coverages available, each client needs their own custom policy. It is important that you speak to a licensed agent to go over your own insurance needs. What coverages should I be asking for? Make sure you have enough coverage to rebuild your home. While your home is under construction after a claim make sure you have money to continue paying your mortgage, enough money to live in another location, money to replace your personal belongings and if you are collecting rent (for multifamily home) make sure you get loss of rent coverage. How much do I cover my home for? Although, the mortgage company may require a minimum amount of dwelling coverage, to cover the loan amount it is important that you cover your home for the replacement value. Which means that this is calculated by the cost to rebuild the home not the purchase price. Especially, when you buy a foreclosure or homes that need lots of repair you may have purchased the home at a lower price than its true value. Can an insurance company deny me? Each company has their own guidelines of what types of homes,pets, location, credit & claim history they would accept. Some licensed agents have special companies that would offer coverage when you are denied from a standard company. These are called surplus lines insurance company. There are other cases that an insurance company may deny you such as: pool with diving boards, near the ocean and/or trampolines. Do I need an umbrella Policy? It is highly recommended to have an umbrella policy in order to have more coverage on your liabiltiy limits. This policy will go over your auto & homeowners insurance

NSURANCE INSURANCE protection. Our priority. ection.Your Our priority.

to protect your assets in case of a lawsuit. The cost of attorney is included under your liability limits, you do want to have enough to cover defense and to pay the claim if found liable. Do I need flood insurance? Most mortgages will require flood insurance if your home is in a flood area. As a licensed agent I will always offer flood insurance since its the only policy that will cover when rain or water overflows into your home. There is a difference between sewer back up vs overflow of water or rain. Sewer back up may be covered by your homeowners while overflow of water or rain is not. What types of coverage are not covered by homeowners insurance? Flood, terrorism and war are excluded under your insurance policy. Each policy have their own exclusion that you must become aware of. What are the different types of limits and deductibles? There are different limits on your water backup, jewelry, furs, art collectibles, silverware and trees. Hurricane has their own deductible is usually different from your standard deductible. It is important that you understand the different types of limits and deductibles that are in your insurance policy. How can I save money on my homeowners insurance? Every company has certain discounts or credits. The most common discounts are for dead bolts, burglary alarms, sprinkler systems and if your home has been updated such as roof, electrical, plumbing and heating will also qualify for a discount. What is the difference between Actual Cash Value vs. Replacement Value? Actual Cash Value covers the home minus depreciation vs. Replacement you will get the money you need to rebuild at same quality that you had prior to the loss.

Spacetime Riffs Improv Troupe Achieves Success Through Failure

Oscar October (his stage name) introduced Spacetime Riffs, a local improvisational theater group of about ten performers, to the assembled audience at a recent performance. “It’s not stand-up comedy,” he said. “It’s not set piece

comedy. It’s unique. It’s improv.” And just to make sure the spectators were fully prepared, “I’m pretty sure we’ll offend everybody before the evening is over.” As he recruited volunteers from the crowd and emphasized the importance

of audience participation in the proceedings, he added, “If it sucks, it’s your fault. You guys play a critical role here.” Mr. October, a 47-year-old marketing/PR consultant in financial services, co-founded Spacetime Riffs in April

330 COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540

2013, with the name emerging “as a nod to the large number of astrophysicists who have been part of the group.” The composition of the group, ranging in age from 18 to the 60s, has changed over the past three years, but about ten people show up to rehearse each Monday night at a variety of different spaces on the Princeton University campus and around town, wherever they are able to find rehearsal space. “The thing I enjoy the most about improv comedy,” Mr. October said, “is being entertained by funny, witty people. I also really enjoy the team aspect. It’s a great feeling when you co-create a scene out of nothing — just a bare stage, somebody’s suggestions and your own imagination. And you get an audience to buy into it, to care about the characters you have created, and to laugh out loud at whatever silliness comes off the top of your head.” He went on to describe the rewards in long-term work with an improv group. “When you work together as a group for a while, you start to develop not only chemistry, but a little bit of ESP. Improv comedy is at its best when you can set up another cast member for a joke, knowing what kind of choice they will make, even though none of it is prearranged, which leaves the audience not only laughing, but wondering how we pulled it off.” Soon after he graduated from college, Mr. October attended improvisational comedy classes (“‘You can take classes in this?’ I excitedly asked.”) at Chicago City Limits in New York City. He eventually became part of an improv comedy troupe that performed at charity events, corporate dinners, bar mitzvahs — “whatever they would pay us for. It was never my primary line of work, but I enjoyed it immensely.” After he and his wife moved to the Princeton area, work and family obligations interrupted his improv career for a while, but soon he started teaching improvisational

comedy at the Princeton Adult School. Skills More than just a theatrical technique, the ability to improvise is certainly also a life skill, according to Mr. October. “While I was never exactly shy to start with,” he said,” it has definitely enhanced my public speaking and presentation skills. I’m pretty relaxed when speaking to a group, even when things don’t go as planned.” Michele Russo, president and CEO of Young Audiences of New Jersey, said she joined Spacetime Riffs just a few months ago because of her position. “I wanted to get better at speaking on my feet, dealing with pressure. I’ve never been afraid of speaking with people when I’m well prepared, and I usually prepare a lot. But I knew that I would have a lot more pressure situations, so I wanted to be comfortable with that.” She described the challenges of doing improv, of “being in the moment,” “going with the flow,” “taking it one step further,” and dealing with failure and “the inner critic.” “Goofball Surprises” Pointing out how supportive and uncritical the group is, Ms. Russo noted that laughter is an important part of the experience. “So we come together and do improv, and we laugh a lot,” she said. “That’s the great part of it, how much we laugh. There’s always a couple of things we do that are pretty hilarious, and people surprise me all the time. That’s the thing I enjoy most. There’s going to be some goofball surprises and some out-of-the-box thinking.” Dona Hargett, who runs the Mann Einstein Players, a new theater company based at Tigerlabs on Nassau Street, has been in Spacetime Riffs for about a year and a half. Working with the group has made her a better actor and “personally, it is a great community and the people I perform with have become some of my closest friends.” She mentioned how “as an actress it is a fun way of getting to develop new characters and work on emotional responses on the fly. It is an important reminder of what to focus on as an actor. It keeps what I do on stage fresh even when it has been rehearsed a lot.” Ms. Hargett described an exciting moment from a recent Spacetime performance when she was playing a morning talk show host interviewing two authors of a new book. “We had the crowd in stitches. I was setting up the other actors by asking leading questions and they were coming up with punchline after punchline in response. It was thrilling to be that in sync with my fellow performers.”

Spontaneity and Failure Others in the group echo Ms. Hargett’s sentiments about the personal and theatrical benefits of working with Spacetime Riffs. Karin Jervert, a poet who had not acted before but has been in the group now for a year and a half, stated, “It’s been such a wonderful experience. I am so glad I gave it a shot! There’s something about humiliating yourself — in a funny way — in front of the same group every week. You really learn a lot about each other and want to help each other grow and gain more confidence and skill.” Mr. October added his final pitch for the values and pleasures of improv comedy, “It teaches you to trust yourself, to have faith in your ability to express something, even if you start talking before you know exactly what it is you’re about to say. Improv comedy is all about spontaneity. Spacetime Riffs is a very supportive group. Our motto is, ‘We suck and we love to fail.’ Spontaneity means you’re going to fail at times, sometimes quite badly, right there on stage, where everyone can see. But if you accept that failure will happen and isn’t the end of the world, you’ll enjoy your successes in improv comedy immensely.” —Donald Gilpin

Stoppard’s Dazzling “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” Delivers Wit, Wordplay, Wisdom at Princeton Summer Theater

n pursuing its theme of “the Other,” Princeton Summer Theater (PST), last weekend opened its third production of the season, a funny, philosophical, verbally dazzling production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, Tom Stoppard’s 1966 masterpiece spin-off from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. “‘The Other’ allows us to investigate new facets of once familiar stories and characters,” writes PST artistic director Ogemdi Ude in her program note. “We go to the theater to learn about new people, stories, and perspectives. We want to be transported from the familiarity of our day-to-day lives into the extraordinary atmosphere of a play or musical.” The tone and theme of this past month’s Princeton Summer Theater offerings — starting with the eerie, timely Assassins by Stephen Sondheim, then Yasmina Reza’s scathing look at the human savagery beneath the civilized veneer in God of Carnage, and now, in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Mr. Stoppard’s existentialist tragicomedy from the perspective of Hamlet’s two doomed, bewildered college friends who are summoned by King Claudius to spy on the Prince — are well suited to this season of troubling election politics; shocking, violent incidents breaking out weekly throughout the world; and rumblings of revolutions both domestic and international. Sam Shepard’s Fool for Love in early August will be the final offering of the PST season. In bringing to the Hamilton Murray stage four fascinating plays of the past 50 years — all richly thought-provoking, disturbing, and at the same time extremely funny, Princeton Summer Theater has clearly established itself as a first-rate, important cultural force in the community. These masterpieces by giants of late 20th/early 21st century theater prove eminently worthy of revival and reconsideration in the context of our current world. High production values, creative, intelligent staging, and thoroughly professional performances characterize this group and guarantee the rewards of an evening at PST. The “new perspectives” and “extraordinary atmosphere” in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern arise from the hapless protagonists, reminiscent of Samuel Beckett’s characters in Waiting for Godot and embodying the existentialist dilemma of our time, more typical of the 21st than the 16th century. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern wonder what they are supposed to be doing, whether they have any control at all over their lives, especially since they are only minor characters buffeted by the mighty forces, human and inhuman, surrounding them. They remember being summoned. They suspect they have some purpose, some role to perform, but they spend the duration of the play wondering what that role and purpose might be, as they observe dramatic entrances and exits of the other more intensely engaged characters of Hamlet.

“We are little men,” says Guildenstern in rationalizing his passivity. “We don’t know the ins and outs of the matter … it would be presumptuous of us to interfere with the designs of fate or even of kings. All in all, I think we’d be well advised to leave well alone.” The play is full of dazzling wordplay, an ample supply of philosophical speculation about the most basic questions of existence, and a whirlwind of interesting observations on life and art and the thin line between the two. Guildenstern, the more cerebral of the two, compares their final-act ocean voyage, accompanying Hamlet to England, to the human condition: “We’ve traveled too far, and our momentum has taken over: we move idly toward eternity, without possibility of reprieve or hope of explana-

“Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead” will run for two more weekends, July 21-24 and 28-31, with shows at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, in the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus.

tion,” he reflects. Many such reflective moments tease the philosophical mind into reflection, though a comedic tone prevails throughout most of the play. The PST cast of 10 works with focus, energy, and purpose. Under the direction of Emma Watt, former PST artistic director, who has worked in various theaters across the country since her 2013 graduation from Princeton University. She is currently the programming associate at OBERON, the second stage of Cambridge’s American Repertory Theater. The production is polished and captivating, and the show moves smoothly and clearly towards its dark conclusion. Ms. Watt has judiciously pared down the script and streamlined the action, giving her performers multiple roles and limiting the running time to just two and a quarter hours.

Billy Cohen as the ingenuous Rosencrantz and Jake McCready as the skeptical, philosophical Guildenstern contrast and complement each other brilliantly. They know they have been sent for, and they lament that “words, words, words — they’re all we have to go on.” As they wait for their next orders from the king or for life to dictate their next move, they flip coins, contemplate the laws of probability, wonder what they are doing there and where they are going next. Teaming with this pair to carry the action of the play is Olivia Nice as the Leading Player, who is bringing her troupe of performers to Elsinore. Dynamically histrionic, constantly engaging the title characters and the audience with her philosophical musings and her pleas for her four actors and their art, the Leading Player treads the thin line between theater and life, imagination and reality, reminding her audience onstage and off of the layers of plays within plays here. “We’re actors. We’re the opposite of people,” she warns. The strong supporting cast includes Matthew Seely as a charismatic Hamlet, Caroline Hertz as Ophelia, Peter Giovine as Claudius, Ryan Gedrich as Gertrude, and Matt Volpe as Polonius. These hardworking, versatile performers double as the Leading Player’s beleaguered troupe of Tragedians — dramatic, funny, and eloquent in their silence. Megan Berry and Lydia Watt complete the cast, with all except for the three principals playing a variety of roles as courtiers, ambassadors, soldiers, attendants, and pirates. Jeff Van Velsor’s simple unit set features a chess board in black and white on the stage floor and hanging, curtain-like fabric used to set the different scenes and stage the action. A cyclorama backdrop with expert lighting by Alex Mannix helps to establish the shifting moods and complement the action in this curious world of Rosencrantz, Guildenstern and the players. Keating Helfrich has designed the costumes to help establish this setting and delineate the peculiar array of characters, providing a deft mix of traditional Elizabethan attire with modern touches. Even if you think you’re not particularly interested in spending a summer evening engaged in speculations on existential questions or in contemplating conundrums of metatheatrics, or even in encountering clever Shakespearean spin-offs, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead will still reward you with an extremely funny evening in the company of two sympathetic characters, caught in a strange and engrossing human dilemma. s. Watt describes in her director’s note how Stoppard’s characters persist in trying again and again “to find a more precise understanding of what it means to be human.” And she adds, “In a Stoppard play, there is always another idea. There is always another question.” —Donald Gilpin

JUDITH BUDWIG

Who You Gonna Call? The New, Improved Ghostbusters!

irst released in 1984, Ghostbusters grossed almost a quarter-billion dollars at the box office, making it the most successful comedy of the 80s. In the 2016 remake, director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) has tweaked the story by changing the gender of the leads from male to female. Wisely, Feig chose four excellent comediennes: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. The director developed a script that plays to each of their respective strengths. The result is a hilarious remake that pays homage to the first film while remaining refreshingly unique in its own right. Plus, the movie features amusing appearances by original cast members Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts. The point of departure is stately Aldridge mansion in Manhattan, where a tour guide (Zach Woods) inadvertently releases the disembodied spirit of Gertrude Aldridge (Bess Rous), a serial killer who had been locked in a dungeon and fed through a slot in the door after killing all of her family servants in 1894. The attack by the evil apparition causes the slimed victim to enlist the assistance of Abby Yates (McCarthy) and Jillian Holtzmann (McKinnon), professors of the paranormal

at the mythical Higgins Institute of Science to exorcise the evil spirit. The two academics are anxious to explore the haunted house. On their way to the mansion they are joined by Abby’s friend Columbia Professor Erin Gilbert (Wiig), and Patty Tolan (Jones), a token booth clerk who was scared by a spook she saw in a subway tunnel. Unfortunately for the foursome, they are unable to find any evidence of a ghost in the building. As a result, all three professors lose their jobs. Undeterred, they turn a loft above a Chinese restaurant into a research lab, hire a secretary (Chris Hemsworth), and convert a hearse, borrowed from Patty’s mortician uncle (Ernie Hudson), into a Ghostbuster-mobile. The self-proclaimed “Conductors of the Metaphysical” develop an arsenal of high-tech weapons including ray guns, a ghost shredder, and a motion-activated proton glove. And just in time, because New York City is being invaded by an army of menacing apparitions. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for action and crude humor. Running time: 116 minutes. Distributor: Sony Pictures. —Kam Williams

THIS GHOST SHREDDER INVENTION REALLY WORKS: Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig, left) uses the latest invention of the Ghostbusters to eliminate the ghost of Gertrude Aldridge (Bess Rous). Fortunately, the new arsenal of weapons developed by the four Ghostbusters are up to the task of saving New York City from an invasion of apparitions.

ennaro Costabile has a long history in the restaurant business and a successful story to tell. A native of Italy, he came to the U.S. in 1983, after meeting his American wife-to-be in Venice, where he was working at a hotel.

IT’S NEW To Us

As a boy, he had also spent eight years in Germany, when his parents moved to Stuttgart. Returning to Naples, he later attended Concierge School in Sorrento, with the intention of embarking on a career in the hospitality field. Arriving in the U.S., he and his wife settled in her home area of Utica, N.Y., and Gennaro found work in a restaurant. Ambitious and enterprising, he looked forward to taking on more responsibility. “In 1992, we moved to New Jersey, when I was offered a job as general manager in a restaurant in South Plainfield,” he explains. “I always wanted my own place, my own operation, however, and in 1995, I opened Caffé Piazza in Hillsborough. Then in 1999, I opened La Terrazza, a Spanish restaurant, in Princeton on State Road. This later became Gennaro’s Restaurant in 2003.” Legal Partner The popularity of these restaurants (he sold Caffé Piazza in 2005) encouraged him to add catering to the business, and ultimately another food

establishment. In 2014, he opened Gennaro’s Italian Market & Catering at 4587 Route 27 (Main Street) in Kingston. “It was my intention to have a market and a headquarters for the catering business,” explains Gennaro. In addition, he took the unusual step of selecting his three-year-old grandson Jax as his legal partner. “I made Jax my partner as a way of remembering what my grandfather, Francesco Pollio, had done for me long ago,” he explains. “When I was born, he set aside 5000 Italian lira for me so that I would have something to count on. I want to pass on to Jax the same values of hard work, honesty, and integrity that my grandfather gave to me. What is important is family, friendship, and integrity.” The Kingston market is filled with a wide variety of tasty Italian specialties and prepared foods, many with Gennaro’s own recipes. Sandwiches, salads, meats, cheeses, homemade pasta, including many different raviolis (a specialty), potato gnocchi, and tortellini are all available. “One of our best sellers is ‘Greens Gennaro,’” reports Gennaro. “It can be served warm or cold, and includes escarole, prosciutto, hot cherry peppers, Romano cheese, and oreganata mix. It can also be part of a sandwich, and customers love it.” They also love the chicken parmiagiana, penne with vodka sauce, and the fresh mozzarella, made on the premises. Other favorites include eggplant rollatini,

Gennaro’s meat balls and marinara sauce, quinoa salad, Italian hot sausage, and the variety of sandwiches Greens Gennaro Among the most popular are “Capri”, with fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic glaze; “Chicken Balsami Panini” (hot pressed) with grilled chicken, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, fresh arugula, and balsamic mayonnaise; “Palermo”, featuring eggplant, Greens Gennaro, ham and provolone; “Italian”, with capicola, salami, and provolone; and “Napoli”, with prosciutto di Parma, capicola, salami, and provolone. In addition, Gennaro’s offers a variety of breads, such as rosemary, olive, Tuscany, and ciabatta, also cookies and muffins. Some are baked on the premises; others come from a bakery in Hoboken. An array of gourmet items from Italy includes cookies, biscotti, pizelle, crackers, and special canned plum tomatoes, among other items. Fig cakes with almonds are another big favorite. Also imported from Italy is the Nero Oro espresso machine and the ready-to-use espresso pods. Gennaro’s is the exclusive distributor of Nero Oro in the U.S. The market offers a display of delicious desserts, including almond tiramisu, cheese cake, chocolate cake, limoncello, mascarpone dessert cheese, and sfogliatelle; also “Tuxedo” strawberries covered with black and white chocolate. This “Tuxedo” special creation by Gennaro has been served at The White House. Assorted beverages, including sodas, iced tea, and bottled water, are also available. Gennaro is proud of the

success of all of his restaurants, and is well aware of the work involved. “A successful business depends on the quality of the food and the expertise in preparing it. We don’t forget the basics, and we always emphasize quality. I am a chef, and that really means supervising and overseeing the whole operation. “I am also very proud of my staff, and many have been with me for a long time. We have 25 to 30 on staff, including chefs, servers, kitchen technicians, etc. New Experience “At the restaurant, we’ve had clients for 16 and 17 years, and we have to sell ourselves every day. It has to be a new experience, as if it is always the first day, so that customers have a special memory — as special as when they remember their first kiss! “In addition, we are a fullservice caterer, doing every kind of event, including weddings and small dinner parties. Whether it is an event with 700 or a dinner for 10, we will make it special. We can provide everything, including rentals, servers, etc. Our catering customers are from all over the area and beyond. We have catered events in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.” Gennaro is especially conscious that his success has given him the opportunity to be generous and help people who are less fortunate. “Giving back is important. I always want to give back to this great country that adopted me, and I can do this by helping others. I want to use my resources to help people who are hungry and in need. “In 2001, I established Food For America, a not-for-profit organization, which raises

PERFECT PARTNERSHIP: “Italian food is the most complete cuisine in the world. It embraces everything — meat, rice, seafood, vegetables, pasta, salads, etc. It’s very healthy eating.” Gennaro Costabile, owner of Gennaro’s Restaurant & Catering, Gennaro’s Italian Market & Catering, and Gennaro’s International Cuisine, is shown with his “partner” and threeyear-old grandson Jax, at the market’s ribbon cutting. money to help others. We were able to donate $20,000 to New Jersey Farmers Against Hunger. Bruce Springsteen matched our donation, and when he mentioned the organization at one of his concerts, we raised another $17,000. Caring Cooks “I also established the Caring Cooks Academy. We bring in companies involved in team building, and invite them to lunch at Gennaro’s restaurant. After lunch, we take them into the kitchen and show them how to make what they had to eat. When they master it, they then make it for the charitable organization Center For Great Expectations in Somerset. A lot of companies have been part of this, and have contributed many meals.” Gennaro has recently added another restaurant to his culinary network: Gennaro’s International Cuisine, located in Princeton Business Park at 107 College Road East. “We have a varied cuisine there,” he reports. “Customers will find Indian food, also

German and Mexican, as well as Italian.” As he explains, Gennaro always makes it a point to learn something new and broaden his horizon. “The biggest challenge is to understand and think like our employees and customers. And then, I think what can I do to make it better? I realize that I love to learn. I listen to suggestions, and I keep learning every day. I believe there is nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it and work hard. And always, our performance is our best advertisement.” Gennaro’s restaurants and market are competitively priced, with sandwiches from $6.95, salads from $7.50, and entrees starting at $19. Hours at the market are Monday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday 9 to 7, Saturday 9 to 5, and Sunday 11 to 5. The bulk of the market’s business is take-out, but seating for 16 is also available. (609) 683-1212. Website: gennarositalianmarket.com. —Jean Stratton

Having Dazzled as Goalie for PU Women’s Water Polo, Johnson Aims to Come Up Big for U.S. at Rio Games

shleigh Johnson has firmly established herself as the greatest goalie in the history of the Princeton University women’s water polo team. In her first three seasons with the Tigers, from 20132015, the Miami. Fla. native made a program-record 1,062 saves and has been a three-time All American. Ta k i n g t h e 2 0 1 5 - 1 6 school year off to train with the U.S. national team, Johnson has distinguished herself as one of the top goalies on earth. Last summer, the 6’1” Johnson helped the U.S. win the world championship as it edged the Netherlands 5-4 in the title game. Johnson made 12 saves in the win, including a crucial penalty shot stop in the fourth period, and was named match MVP and the tournament’s top goalkeeper. For Johnson, the individual accolades were a reflection of a team effort rather than her exploits. “That was the biggest tournament I have ever played in,” said Johnson, who was later named 2015 Water Polo World Female Player of the Year. “I think those awards are just a testament to the team

NEW INSPIRATION: Carla Tagliente exhorts her players while serving as the head coach of the University of Massachusetts field hockey team.

MFG., CO.

After producing a stellar career for the University of Maryland field hockey team where she was a t hree time All-American forward and earned Academic AllAmerican honors and was a summa cum laude grad as a finance and marketing major, Carla Tagliente set her sights on joining the CIA. She made it through each hurdle of the arduous, yearlong application process and was invited for orientation. At the last minute, she was asked by friend and U.S. nat ional te am mate Kr isten Holmes -Winn to consider joining the staff of the Princeton University field hockey program. That didn’t pan out, but Tagliente ended up taking a job as an assistant coach for the University of Iowa. While she enjoyed coaching, going on to stints at Michigan and Northwestern, Tagliente nearly took another detour from the game, considering getting into the financial sector after earning an MBA with high distinction for the Ross School of Business at Michigan. Fate intervened again as the University of Massachusetts reached out to her in 2011 to fill its head coaching vacancy. “I think I would kick myself if I didn’t take the oppor tunit y at UMass so I said I will do it,” recalled Tagliente, 37, who had an overall record of 64-44 (306 Atlantic 10) in five seasons with the Minutewomen, including three A-10 tourna-

ment championships (2012, 2013, 2015) and three regular season championships (2011, 2013, 2014). “The five years went by so fast; I don’t regret a minute of it. It was probably the best decision I have ever made.” Now Tagliente is getting the opportunity to coach at Princeton, succeeding Holmes-Winn, who stepped down this June after a brilliant 13-year stint which included the program’s and Ivy League field hockey’s first-ever National Championship in 2012, seven trips to the NCAA quarterfinals, and 11 straight Ivy League titles. With her track record of excellence in the classroom and on the field, Tagliente feels she is a good fit for Princeton. “I think for me and my past and my experience and my success as a student and an athlete, the opportunity at Princeton is to be in an environment that really embodies what my values are,” said Tagliente. “I wanted to be a big fish in that big sea and I had that opportunity at Maryland. I don’t think you have that opportunity at a lot of those schools any more with how really tiered athletics has become. As a coach, I want that experience for my players. It is really what the core philosophy of college athletics is supposed to be. It has changed along the way and I don’t necessarily think it is ever going to change back. I think the Ivies are some of the last schools that have held on to those values.” The experience Tagliente gained at running the program at UMass will serve

her well in g u iding t he Princeton players. “I think I am a lot more settled in,” said Tagliente. “I think when you are young, sometimes you worry about a lot of things that you can’t control. You worry about everything you say, this or that, and did they retain that and are they listening to me. Now I think you let some of that go and recognize that they are absorbing things and you have got to just trust your process.” Noting that taking the new job has made this summer a bit of a whirlwind for her, Tagliente has hit the ground running. “I think any change is challenging, especially with the shor t transition that we have with the current team and where we are in the recruiting cycle for the future,” said Tagliente. “We are working through that.” G et ting t he chance to speak to nearly half of her new players, Tagliente believes that they are dealing well with the coaching change. “I think the energy has been good; they have been mature with the transition and they are ready to move on,” said Tagliente. “It is not like Kristen left on bad terms. Sometimes opportunities arise and I think that is a testament to how she mentored them, to be ready for a transition like this.” While Tagliente may have a different style than her old

friend, she shares the ambitions Holmes-Winn had for the program. “I think long term goals are probably not different; Kristen wanted to win and she wanted to win big and she wanted to be a consistent national contender and that is where my vision lies,” asserted Tagliente. “We probably differ in the process and how to get there, not drastically, in terms of what we think is important and little things in the program. I think she has it on track to be where they were in 2012 w ith that national championship team. We have some stars coming in and we have a good core here. It is a great foundation.” Tagliente will focus on some basic staples in order to get the most out of the foundation in place. “I would like to think that the players are prepared, they are educated when they get on the field,” said Tagliente. “I want them to make decisions and be confident and comfortable, doing their thing and that takes a lot of preparation. That is a big marker for me. Another one is depth on the team, just bridging the gap between our most talented and least talented player. The third thing that has been a key marker for us at UMass is penalty corners. Our execution was probably in the top three in the country over the last five years; that has been a big critical success factor for us because at times we have lacked the talent and the scoring punch.” —Bill Alden

Former Princeton University women’s soccer star Allison Nabatoff ’13 will be rejoining the program as she was hired to its coaching staff last week. Nabatoff, a three -time All-Ivy defender during her college career, returned to Princeton in 2015 to work with the Whig-Clio Society in the university’s Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students. She will continue in that role while assisting the soccer staff. “I’m extremely excited for the opportunity to join the Princeton coaching staff,” said Nabatoff. “The women’s soccer program was an integral part of my undergraduate experience at Princeton, and I’m looking forward to learning from and being a part of the coaching staff alongside Sean (Driscoll), Kelly (Boudreau), and Mike (Poller).” During her Princeton career, Nabatoff, a defender, was named the Ivy League Co-Rookie of the Year in 2009, earning honorable mention All-Ivy League recognition that season. She went on to earn two more All-Iv y honors, including second-team recognition in 2010 and first-team in 2012 while missing nearly a half-season due to injury in 2011. Her final season, in which she started all 18 games, was Princeton’s most successful during her tenure as the Tigers went 7-0-0 in the Ivy League and won at West Virginia in the opening round of the NCAA tournament, the program’s first-ever NCAA tournament victory away from Princeton. Nabatoff earned her bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Princeton in 2013. ———

Princeton University women’s golfers Amber Wang, Alexandra Wong, and Tenley Shield were named last week as WGCA All-American Scholar honorees by the Women’s Collegiate Golf Association. Wang, a rising sophomore, was a second-team All-Ivy League honoree in her first season at Princeton, tying for sixth at the Ivy League Championships. Outside

of Princeton golf, Wang recently qualified for the USGA U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship, which will take place in August. Wong, who was a student in Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, graduated in June after earning her second straight All-Ivy League and Academic AllIvy League honors. Wong finished 10th overall at the Ivy League Championships in April and went on to be named second-team All-Ivy League a year after earning first-team recognition.

Tiger Men’s Lax Players Help U.S. Win U-19 Worlds

Two Princeton University men’s lacrosse players, rising junior midfielder Austin Sims and incoming freshman attackman Michael Sowers, helped the United States edge host Canada 13-12 in the final of the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) U19 World Championship in Coquitlam, British Columbia last Saturday. The U.S. trailed 8-2 at halftime and 11-8 after the third quarter before rallying to victory. Sowers tied for the U.S. lead with 22 points, and he was the only American in double figures in goals and assists, with 11 of each. S owers had a goal and two assists in the final, all of which came in the third quarter as the U.S. started its comeback. He was one of three attackmen named to the All-World team. Sims, for his part, an AllIvy midfielder in 2016 when he scored 23 goals for the Tigers, was a team co-captain for the U.S. squad. He finished the tournament with a goal and four assists while playing a mostly defensive role for the Americans.

Emerging as a standout from the start of her career w ith the Pr inceton High girls’ lacrosse team as a freshman in 2011, it didn’t take long for Emilia LopezOna to draw the attention of some of the top college programs in the sport. Featuring a formidable blend of speed, tenacity, and skill, Lopez-Ona was on the radar of such storied schools as Stanford, Penn, Princeton, Yale, and Vanderbilt by her sophomore year at PHS. For Lopez- Ona, choos ing between those options came down to a gut feeling. “My top two choices were Stanford and Penn, I remember I went on a visit to Stanford; I had a fantastic time and it is an amazing place,” recalled L opez- Ona, who ear ned All-County, All-State, and All-American honors during her PHS career. “I went on my v isit to Penn t he next weekend. T h e te a m c h e m i s t r y at Penn is like no other. It reminded me a lot of my experience with my Princeton High team. As soon as I came back from that visit, I knew this was what I wanted. I was going to be spending every second with these girls and you could tell that they really wanted to spend every second together.” Act ing on her inst inct proved to be prescient as Lopez-Ona has benefitted from that support, dealing with ongoing hip problems that have deprived her of t he chance to get more time on the field. LopezOna didn’t see any action as a freshman, receiving an extra year of eligibility through Ivy League medical hardship rules. After getting both hips operated on in 2015 and then going through an arduous rehabilitation pro cess, Lopez-Ona was finally cleared to play this March. When she came back, she focused on becoming draw specialist, the critical role of controlling the ball in the center circle which requires less running. “I was really lucky that with my pain and my recovery, even before I was cleared to play full field, I was cleared to take the draw,” said Lopez-Ona. “All of the draw stuff was things I could work on without having to run. I was able to do all of the wrist exercises and work on drills on the sideline. It all paid off to the point where I got pretty good at it. With draw stuff, it is a matter of reps. We had a new volunteer coach this year, Liz Kittleman Jackson, who came

back to Penn. She really put a lot of time and effort into training a few of us on the draw; it was an incredible opportunity for me.” In her college debut against Delaware, LopezOna showed her prowess in the circle, getting five draw controls. She went on to get 39 draws on the season and also chipped in a goal and three assists. “That was exciting, gett i n g a fe w s t a t s ,” s a i d Lopez-Ona. “I was really lucky when it came to my recover y w it h my team mates helping and wanting to see me get back on the field. It is such a different feeling once you have gone through injur y stuff, one assist can make your day.” A personal highlight this spring for Lopez-Ona came when Penn played at Princeton in late April and earned a 12-7 victory. With many of her former PHS teammates and friends on hand in the stands at the Clas s of 1952 Stad iu m, Lopez-Ona came up with three draw controls early in the first half to help the Quakers build a 4-0 lead and set the tone of the contest. “I won’t forget that game, I love playing at Princeton’s field; for me it feels like a home game,” said LopezOna. “ W h e n it c a m e to my high school lacrosse, I had a great career that I am really thankful for. I was just lucky to have such fantastic supportive teammates in high school and seeing them all in the stands was great. Knowing no matter what happens in my college career, I have that support system, t hat is t he only thing that really matters.” The win over Princeton was part of a late surge for Penn that saw it rebound from a 10-9 loss to Dartmouth on March 27 to go 9-2 down the stretch, sharing the Ivy regular season title with Princeton and ultimately advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals. “We saw how that loss affected our team and the seniors, we had a great senior class with some really strong leaders, we wanted to do it for them and for us as a team,” said LopezOna, reflecting on the spring which saw Penn finish with a 15-5 record and ranked ninth nationally. “One thing that we fo cused on, especially in the NCAA tournament was to believe in ourselves and what we were capable of doing on and off the field. Our coaches said you guys need to believe in what you are all capable of because you guys are an incredibly

talented team, you need to realize t hat, and you need to play like that on a consistent basis. I would describe it as being fully present for ever y minute of every game. I think we were fully present for all of the NCAA games and that made a huge d if ference with our consistent play.” Facing two more operations on her hip, one slated for July and the other scheduled for December, Lopez-Ona isn’t sure how much she will be able to play going forward. “I don’t know what is in store for me in the coming years,” said L opez- Ona, noting that the next round of surgery involves a more invasive procedure and longer rehab. “A f ter my h igh s chool career, I had really big expectations for myself in college. I had really big dreams that I wanted to fulfill that I probably won’t have the opportunity to achieve.” W h i le L op ez - O na may not end up with the stats and accolades she env isioned, she has gained a deep appreciation for how her life has been positively impacted by lacrosse. “I am so happy t hat I ended up at Penn because of the support system that I have there with my teammates and coaches,” said Lopez-Ona. “It is something that was so necessary and I am thankful that I chose Penn for that reason. I am thankful for that support system that I had at PHS. I feel like my time there gave me a really nice picture of what I wanted out of college lacrosse in general. Through all of that I want to thank my family too, they kept supporting me as well. I am unsure of myself at times because of this injury, and surgery is not what I pictured.” Drawing on that support, Lopez-Ona is determined to be there for her Penn teammates. “I see the value of a support system for any individual on the team,” said Lopez-Ona. “I have seen friends of mine time and again struggle through injur ies and be on the sideline as they are recovering but be the most key players in someone else’s support system. That role on a team is so valuable so no matter what happens to me personally, I think I will be with the team one way or another.” —Bill Alden

PDS Alum Triolo Getting Into Offensive Rhythm, Emerging as Key Midfielder for Lehigh Men’s Lax For Cody Tr iolo, playing tough defense for the L ehigh Universit y men’s lacrosse team helped give him the chance to display his scoring skills. After playing in just five games as a freshman in 2014, the former Princeton Day School star made 15 appearances as a sophomore, scoring t wo goals and picking up 12 ground balls. “I was able to step up and play a bigger role,” said Triolo, reflecting on his 2015 campaign. “The way I actually started playing was more of a defensive midfielder, which got me on the field more and got me more touches. It got me a little more confidence, making plays and just being out there. Then I was able to t ransit ion back to the offensive side and play more of a two-way midfielder at the end of the year.” Off the field, Triolo has found t he way to excel, earning the team’s ScholarAthlete of the Year award for 2015. “It is just cool to see hard work pay off in an award like that,” added Tr iolo, who is majoring in civil engineering and posted a 3.95 spring-semester GPA this year in making the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll for his junior season.

Let us show you how to protect what you’ve worked so hard to earn.

college academically and athletically.” Preparing to have a big spring, Triolo saw a lot of action in the early going as the Mountain Hawks produced a 4-1 start. “I played the first five games, I was an O-middie,” said the 5’9, 177-pound Triolo. “The first two lines would run two two-way guys because we were kind of short on defensive mids this year. My roommate, Ian Strain and I, played on the same line together. We would just roll the first two lines, offensively and defensively, and get a lot of runs that way.” In early March, Triolo ran into some adversity as he was sidelined by injury. “I ended up breaking my hand over spring break in practice,” said Triolo. “It was a real bummer, I was pretty upset because I was starting to come on and play some of my best lacrosse.” Triolo needed a cast and was out for a month, getting treated by Dr. Daniel Fletcher, father of former P D S te a m m a te C o n n o r F letcher, who created a splint that he could wear under his glove for protection upon returning to action. “After the injur y I was able to play against Princeton; I had a goal and an assist in that game,” said Triolo, referring to Lehigh’s 13-6 loss at Princeton on April 12. “I actually think I was playing better by the time I got back. There was this note of desperat ion be cause I had lacrosse taken away from me for a month. I couldn’t do anything, I had to watch. When I came back I was going to make the most of this. I just played loose and hard.” While Triolo got back into rhythm over the last month of the season, Lehigh hit some hard times down the stretch as it ended up 6-9 overall and 4-4 in Patriot League action. “I thought we started off really hot; what was special about this team is that we played really fast in transition,” said Triolo, who ended up with two goals,

two assists, and five ground balls in 10 appearances this spring. “We had a lot of young talented guys, especially on the offensive side of the ball. We had a ton of freedom; they would give us a set but after the first play was called we would be able to do what ever we wanted. We were able to play within the system. What really killed us was possession time; sometimes we struggled in the faceoff department. We played a lot of defense and not a lot of offense. It was tough, considering that every little play gets magnified when you don’t have the ball that much.” As he prepares this summer for his final college campaign, Triolo is keeping his nose to the grindstone. “ T h i s i s pr ob ably t h e hardest I have trained,” said Triolo, who is interning in Philadelphia with a civil engineering firm. “This is it, there is a sense of urgency and I am really getting after it. I would say it is a combination of everything. I love going into school in really good shape because that is the way to set the tone for the rest of the year. I am doing a lot of running and a lot of weightlifting. Specifically to do with lacrosse, I am continuing to work both hands to be that dual threat. That is a thing of mine, get my right hand as good as my left and to be a complete player. I do a T hursday night league in Philly. I will do the War at the Shore and then the Lake Placid tournament this year.” Triolo and his classmates are hoping to pass on that urgency to their younger teammates. “I think next year it is just going to be important for my class being seniors; we have to lead by example, even if that doesn’t mean we are putting up the points,” said Triolo. “We have a lot of young talented guys coming in and we have to be really good leaders for them. Personally, I would like to come out and play really well and do what I can to help the team.” —Bill Alden

In 1989, Jimmy Glover starred as Trenton State College men’s basketball team enjoyed the best season in program history, going 30-2 on the way to the NCA A Division III championship game. Now, nearly 30 years later, his son, Jordan Glover, is looking to make some history of his own for the program, joining the men’s hoops squad last winter at The College of New Jersey, as the school is now called. After transferring from Post University, the younger Glover, a 6’5, 210-pound forward enjoyed a solid debut campaign for TCNJ in 2015 -16, averaging 11.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as the Lions advanced to the New Jersey Athletic Conference championship game (NJAC). Last Monday evening in quarterfinal action in the Princeton Recreation Depar tment Summer Men’s

Basketball League, Glover displayed his form, helping top-seeded Majeski Foundation, the TCNJ entry, to a 74-60 win over eighthseeded Pediatric Therapy Solutions. Glover scored 10 points as Majeski overcame an early 17-10 deficit to pull away to the win, improving to 9-1 this summer.

summer league is helping him hone his game. “Summer league is just my time to work on a couple of things,” said Glover, a Lawrenceville native and former standout at Lawrence High. “When I have the opportunity to score, I don’t take it lightly. I take every shot as if it is my last. I try to work on not being selfish and just trying to be a leader. I am working on getting stronger and putting the ball on the floor a lot more, working on my jump shot. I have to keep working on my craft, put it on the glass and attack the rim because our coach wants me to play above the rim.” The Majeski team took a while getting to work on Monday as it struggled in the early going against upsetminded Pediatric Therapy. “We were a little sluggish; we had a lot of guys coming back from vacation,” said Glover. “We have got a lot of new guys coming in so our chemistry needs to get there. We have just got to keep coming together every game and just play as a team. Right now we are just trying to figure out what we have after last season going all the way to the championship.” Glover and Bobby Brackett, who was sidelined last year for TCNJ due to an achilles injury, appears to be forming a potent one-two punch in the frontcourt. “Nobody can stop us in the paint; Bobby scares a lot of teams just by his presence,” asserted Glover of Brackett, who scored a team-high 13 points in the win on Monday. “He reminds me of Dwight Howard by how he plays, he gets every offensive rebound and he attacks all the time. When the two of us are in together, we will be scary this year in the NJAC.” As Majeski faces Rogue’s Gallery in the semis, it will be primed to avenge its only defeat of the summer, a 6964 setback to Rogue’s on July 1. “We need to come in dialed in from the beginning, from the first jump ball to the last whistle,” said Glover. “We have to come out hungry; we are used to being in this environment.” No matter what happens in the playoffs this summer, Glover believes experience will help the Lions be a championship contender this winter. “This right now builds our chemistry; our team goes by the motto of family,” said Glover. “I just feel this summer league is helping us become brothers. This is our fraternity, this is our brotherhood. If we keeping coming together now, during the season we are going to be a scary team. If we learn from each other’s mistakes and keep bringing each other up, we will be fine.” —Bill Alden

Dave and Diane were happily married for 53 years before her passing in 2003.

A gracious man to the very end, while battling the effects of Alzheimer’s and a stroke, he will be fondly remembered as one who exemplified “gentle” in the word gentleman. David was predeceased by his parents, Francis and Catherine (Somes) Christie; his wife, Diane G. Christie; and his brother, Malcom Christie. He is survived by his son, Mark Christie; his two daughters and sonsin-law, Lindsey Fraser (B. Grant) and Meredith Koplinka (Raymond, Jr.); five grandchildren, Gordon Fr a s e r ( S au m a n C h oy ) , Sarah Fraser, Emily Kaster (Paul), Raymond (Trey) Koplinka, III, and Christina Koplinka; and one great-

A Vibrant Continuing Education Series Learn Something New and Amazing

Thursday, July 28 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Space is limited. For reservations, call 609-520-3700 Hear from two Princeton Windrows residents as they discuss their diverse backgrounds and the careers that helped them thrive. An abstract artist and medicinal botanist share the stories behind their life’s work.

Modern medicines derived from plants 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Dr. Aura Star The acrid odor of formaldehyde in biology classes caused Aura Star to transfer her major to botany, a field where the specimens she dealt with – plants – were fresh. It also set Dr. Star on a path to lifelong learning and leadership in the field of plant science. A Bronx native who has researched and worked at renowned universities across the globe, Dr. Star is now a professor emerita at the College of New Jersey. She will cover the history of plant medicines and the current search for new medicinal plant sources, including insights from the innovative discipline of zoopharmacognosy (a behavior where animals medicate themselves using plants).

Creating energy through art 12:30 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Chinyee Sung A light lunch will be provided between sessions. Please join us for tours of our beautiful resale apartments and villas after the presentation. Princeton Windrows is the area’s only independent, service-rich retirement community for active adults 55+. Located 4 miles from downtown Princeton, home to the University and an invigorating mix of cultural and intellectual opportunities. No wonder Princeton was rated 15th of the 100 best places to live by CNN Money magazine. All homes located in Plainsboro Twp.

One of the many resident artists at Princeton Windrows, Chinyee Sung provides our community’s art gallery not only with color, but – in her own words – “elements of rhythm, harmony, and the lines that carry energy.” Born in China, Chinyee worked in New York City as a United Nations interpreter and a painter. She opened her new studio in Hamilton last year, expressing herself through the aesthetics of abstract painting. With no windows and a high ceiling, the space “is precious to me,” Chinyee says. “It is where I retreat, meditate, sing, and create my artwork.” You’ll learn how Chinyee lets her inner strength flow from her mind, into the brush, and onto the canvas.

All the amenities of a lovely, in-town neighborhood with the convenience of city living. EVERYTHING is a short jaunt or bike ride away; Princeton University, elementary and junior high schools - the highly rated Princeton HS is just around the corner! Not to mention, Westminster Conservatory, the Princeton Public Library, the Community Park Pool/Tennis/Recreation Area, the YW/YMCA, the Arts Council and all the shops, restaurants and coffee houses in town. Need to get out of town? It’s only blocks to the NYC buses and just over a mile to NJ Transit, which can whisk you to Newark Airport, NYC or Philadelphia. This meticulously maintained Jefferson Road home has been carefully updated, retaining its original charm with beautiful hardwood floors throughout, plaster walls, custom bookcases, custom wood radiator covers and lovely lighted built-ins. The formal living room features a decorative marble fireplace and custom hearth. The three-season porch is located just off the living room, creating a delightful space to read, chat and watch the neighbors pass by. The kitchen, a clever combination of charm and convenience, has wood/linen cabinets, a breakfast nook with benches and a granite table, and stainless steel appliances. A triple Marvin window over the sink looks out to the gorgeous gardens and trees in the huge backyard. The lovely oak stairway leads to the second floor which opens to three bedrooms, all with wood floors, and two full bathrooms. But wait --- the third floor provides the creme-de-la-creme of getaways, with a beamed cathedral ceiling, two skylights which open for those cool breezes, lots of custom built-in bookshelves, a large walk-in storage closet and many possibilities! There’s plenty of space on the third floor for a master bedroom suite, an entertainment loft, extra space for guests or a dynamite office/exercise area. What are you waiting for? $925,000

JUST WHAT YOU ASKED FOR!!!! Located in Princeton at the corner of “cool” and “convenient”, this three storey Victorian has been completely renovated by Andrew Sheldon, keeping many of the original features, like a tin ceiling and marvelous moulding. The covered front porch is inviting, just begging for rocking chairs, and the back deck overlooks a yard big enough for entertaining. Inside, the public spaces are fantastic, with an open floor plan. The kitchen is designed for a chef, with gorgeous cabinetry, off-the-charts tiling, and top of the line appliances. Family room has tons of windows and custom woodwork. Gleaming wood floors, unbelievable bathrooms, three fireplaces, and a clever addition combine to make this one of a kind house, the best kind of house! $1,250,000

Spacious colonial has all the rooms you need and all the space you want! Beautiful hardwood floors, two fireplaces, and a delightful in-ground pool set the stage for easy living. Large living room, formal dining room and family room right off the kitchen make this house so easy to live in. Sliding glass doors lead from the family room to the generous deck overlooking the professionally planted grounds and pretty pool. Four bedrooms are found upstairs, and a secret staircase from one of the bedrooms leads to a “bonus room”, perfect for a suite effect for a lucky teen, guest, inlaws, or aupair. Your “call”! On the lowest level, the finished basement is a real treat, with a study, sauna and more. Amazing value in Princeton. $895,000
