Safe Streets Program Announces Honorees, Upcoming Celebrations The Joint Effort Safe Streets Program has announced honorees to be recognized during its 10-day celebration of the Witherspoon-Jackson (W-J) Community of Princeton beginning next week. Honoring the historic role of the black church will be the focus of this year’s event-filled festival, which is titled “Looking Back & Moving Forward.” “All of this year’s award recipients have made significant contributions to the Witherspoon-Jackson and Princeton community and are more than worthy of this recognition,” said Princeton Councilman Lance Liverman. “The recognition of the historic role of the black church in Princeton is amazing and long overdue. The history of these four black churches are stories of faith, leadership, and Continued on Page 8

Council Approves Appointment of New Police Officers At its meeting Monday evening, July 24, Princeton Council approved a resolution to authorize the Princeton Police Department’s appointment of five probationary police officers. With three retirements possible by the end of the year and 11 officers eligible for retirement through 2020, it is important to be proactive, Chief Nick Sutter told Council. “My vision is that we anticipate these retirements because there is a lag time between when we hire someone and when they get fully certified,” he said. At a press conference earlier in the day, Mr. Sutter said this completes the most recent recruiting list, which he called “particularly robust.” “It went beyond our expectations in terms of diversity and caliber of officers,” he said. “We really look for individuals committed to policing in Princeton. They don’t just meet the minimum requirements. They meet Princeton requirements.”

The five new recruits will be sworn in at a future Council meeting. Council also held a work session on proposed route changes to the FreeB bus service. Fay Reiter, chair of the town’s Public Transit Advisory Committee, detailed recommendations to merge the existing two services into one because ridership on the early morning route to the

Dinky train station has been so low. The plan, which Ms. Reiter called a work in progress, suggests that daytime service would be merged with commuter service and run until about 7:30 or 8 p.m. Service on the daytime route currently ends about 3:30 p.m. Continued on Page 8

Rider President Cites Progress In Sale of Choir College Campus In a letter to the Rider University community this week, Rider President Gregory Dell’Omo said “great progress” is being made in efforts to sell Westminster Choir College in Princeton, which Rider has owned since 1991 and announced this past spring that it was putting it up for sale. Rider’s campus is located in Lawrenceville.

Rider’s Board of Trustees and PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporate Finance have communicated with some 280 possible purchasers, and have received “multiple proposals” from buyers who would either purchase the property and Choir College and keep it in Princeton, acquire the property and Continued on Page 4

relocate the Westminster programs to another lo cation, or simply buy the property. The first possibility is the only one that is acceptable to The Coalition to Save We s t m ins ter Choir Col lege in Princeton, a group of alumni, faculty, and students who have organized in an effort to keep the college in place. The Coalition filed a lawsuit last month saying that based on the merger agreement between the two schools in 1991, Rider has no legal right to sell the Westminster campus. Mr. Dell’Omo’s letter reads, “A careful and detailed review of all initial proposals has been completed and select parties have been asked to refine their proposals as we move into the next phase of the process. To allow sufficient time for the Board to fully consider each of these amended proposals, it is likely that a final partner or partners will not ultimately be selected to move forward until the fall.” Meanwhile, Mr. Dell’Omo wrote, recruitment will begin soon for Westminster’s Class of 2022. “We’ve been extremely encouraged by t he tremendous interest we have received and are confident that we will find a partner to take over this world-renowned program,” he continued. “Additionally, we have committed to each potential partner that we will work hand-in-hand with them to ensure a successful transition.” Bruce Afran, the attorney representing the Coalition, said most of the 280 entities contacted by Rider have not expressed interest in acquiring Westminster. “My understanding is that there is a small number that are interested, and that Rider is attempting to focus on those that have an interest in keeping Westminster where it is, which would be something to explore.” Mr. Dell’Omo’s letter concludes, “This is an important process and I appreciate the interest that our entire University community has in the future of the Choir College. As I have said before, I will continue to share important updates with you as this process continues.” “I think they’re trying to reach out,” Mr. Afran said. “I think they’re hoping there can be a solution to this, and we do too. But if not, we are resolute. If they seek to

Council President Jenny Crumiller said the greatest market for the FreeB service is affordable housing communities where people may not own cars. Ms. Reiter noted that many people are not aware of the service. “There is a lot of confusion in the community about the two types of service,” she said. “We’re proposing one that would merge the two routes.” Princeton resident Kip Cherry commented that the town should be promoting the service with its current schedule rather than cutting service. “Very few commuters know about the FreeB, or that there is a brand new bus,” she said. “We are looking at taking a big step backwards. We should be promoting it with fanfare, especially as the Lewis Center for the Arts is about to open. Promote it and educate the community about the existing service.” Municipal engineer Deanna Stockton updated Council on the renovation of the Mary Moss Playground at the corner of John and Lytle streets. The work was originally supposed to be completed in time for this summer, with a water play area for children, trees, and landscaping. But the project has been delayed and is now targeted for next summer. Built in the 1940s, the playground and small wading pool were for many years the only places that children in Princeton’s black community were permitted to swim. Ms. Stockton said the town only received final plans from the consultant it hired at the end of May. “One of the reasons for the delay is the availability of contractors to put together a responsive bid,” she said. “We were concerned that in the summer when they’re so busy, they would not sharpen their pencils and give us their best price for the project.” A contract should be awarded by November. Depending on winter weather, work could start after the first of the year and be finished by the beginning of next June. —Anne Levin

community service and need to be told to current and future generations. The individuals and organizations being recognized give continuously to Princeton through their service and contributions to the community.” Robert Rivers and Mildred Trotman will receive the Paul Robeson Spirit Award. The Witherspoon-Jackson Citizens of the Year will include Lance Liverman in the field of government; Yina Moore and Leighton Newlin in community service; Shirley Satterfield, Larry and Fern Spruill, and Tommy and Joanne Parker in education; Frances Broadway Craig and John Broadway in business; Alvin McGowen and Dosier Hammond in housing; and Gail Everett and Darius Young in sports and wellness. In addition, Mr. Rivers and Linda McDermott will receive the Jim Floyd Lifetime Achievement Award; McCaffrey Foods, Mr. Hammond, and the Unity Choir of the First Baptist Church of Princeton will receive Mildred Trotman Community Service Awards; and Elizabeth Kim and Kathryn Watterson will be honored w ith communit y ser v ice thank-yous. “The African American Church has played such an important role in the social, economical, and emotional development of the community,” said the Rev. Gregory Smith, whose father was pastor of the Mount Pisgah African Methodist Church on Witherspoon Street from 1971 to 1981. Mr. Smith, currently pastor of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Willingboro, continued, “The churches were the focal point for community life, the first place where people of color had leadership roles. That was where families came together to celebrate events, and there were political and economic meetings too. This history plays

a significant role in who we are.” Noting the many challenges currently faced by the church, Mr. Smith added, “The world has changed, but the foundation of people coming together to share their faith continues. The church has a responsibility to find a place in all these changes.” As part of the Joint Effort celebrations, an ecumenical service in the Miller Chapel of Princeton Theological Seminary at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 6 will recognize the four black churches of Princeton and their oldest members. The churches include Mount Pisgah, founded in 1832; Witherspoon Street Presbyterian, founded in 1840 as The First Presbyterian Church of Colour; First Baptist Church of Princeton, founded in 1885 as Bright Hope Baptist Church; and Morning Star Church of God in Christ, founded in 1941. The event will focus on the African American community, but Mr. Smith emphasized, “This is something we all can celebrate. The church and how it has enhanced people’s lives is indicative of what we all have experienced through faith.” In addition to the individual honors, on Friday, August 11 at the First Baptist Church there will be a “Special Salute to Black Seniors and Every Member of a Princeton Black Church.” John Bailey, lead organizer and co-founder of Joint Effort Safe Streets, will speak t h at e ve n i n g on ” W h at Does It Mean To Be Black in America Today: A Message from our Ancestors to My Community.” A Time Capsule Ceremony on Saturday, August 12 at 9:30 a.m.at the Waxwood Apartments on Quarr y Street, formerly a segregated African American school, will be another highlight of the 10-day celebration. The capsule, a metal box containing pictures, letters, and other memorabilia from black churches and families, will be buried and remain for 50 years, to be opened in

2067 by residents and future generations of Princeton and the W-J community. Ms. Satterfield, co-founder and president of the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society, noted the importance of keeping alive the history, particularly the contributions of African Americans, of the Princeton community. “When the time capsule is opened in 2067, the people will see what has been accomplished in the 50 years prior. We want people to know the rich history of the community. Our families were servants who sustained Princeton. They were domestic people and also professionals, lawyers, teachers. When the capsule is opened people will see what has gone on and how important it is that we’re here.” Following the Time Capsule Ceremony, Ms. Satterfield will lead her renowned Witherspoon-Jackson Community Walking Tour, highlighting the Afr ican A mer ican exper ience in Princeton. —Donald Gilpin

As a teacher of math and music at The Hun School, Ryan Brown described every day as “a beautiful mix of left brain and right brain. The music makes my math teaching more creative, and the math makes my music classes more structured, logical, organized.” Mr. Brown, who has been teaching at Hun for ten years and a year ago won the School’s James M. Byer ’62 Excellence in Teaching Award, attributes his success to his passion for math, music, and teaching. In addition to teaching freshmen and sophomores in geometry honors, juniors and seniors in AP calculus, and an AP music theory course, he also serves as music director of the winter musicals. “It helps when you really really love what you do, and I love what I do,” he said. The feeling is clearly reciprocated by his loyal students. “He’s one of our most popular teachers,” said Hun Communications Associate Alicia Waltman. “They love him.” According to RateMyTeachers.com, Ms. Waltman may have understated the case. “Mr. Brown is without a doubt the greates t teacher I have ever had,” read one typical entry. “This is one of those few people who is a master of their craft, like the Mozart of teaching, amazing person.” Repeatedly described by his students as “approachable” and “ likable,” Mr. Brown received accolades for his expertise in his subject matter, his dedication to teaching, and his winning personality. One student enrolling in Hun from overseas recalled, “I remember when I first came to The Hun School, I was terrified of the new surroundings, especially since I had moved so far away from my country. Mr. Brown welcomed me with warmth and made my days more enjoyable. He is my go-to person for math. He never made me feel less intelligent if I didn’t know something.” Math or Music? Mr. Brown was born in Southern California “right across the street from Disneyland” and always had a strong affinity for both math and music. “I was an undergraduate in Los Angeles ( Loyola Marymount University) and I couldn’t decide between the two so I decided to do a degree in math and music at the same time, and once I finished I couldn’t decide where to go, whether I wanted to do math or music,” he said. “My big dream at the time was to be a big conductor, to conduct orchestras and choirs and be as famous as I could be,” he continued, “and I got there and I was really excited.” Mr. Brown earned his master’s degree in music at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N. Y., and went on to “conduct a lot of orchestras and choirs.” He decided to continue his quest in the world of music and is currently finishing up his doctorate in music from Indiana University. But at a certain point, more than

ten years ago, the allure of math and teaching changed the course of his life. He had been doing some tutoring on the side, but “I really did miss having math in my life,” he said. “I really couldn’t do one without the other.” His conducting led directly to a desire to teach. “After working with a lot of college students as a conductor, I thought it would be great if I could go back to high school and really mold them. Once they get into college there’s not much you can do as a teacher, but I could go back in time and really teach them when they are so teachable in high school.” He had met his wife at Eastman, where she was earning her doctorate in conducting, and she had gotten a job at Westminster Choir College, “so i moved out here looking for a job.” Sandals to Sweater Vest Mr. Brown described his happy adaptation to the world of mat h and mu sic teaching at The Hun School. “A substitute job at Hun opened up and as a guy coming from Southern California, I thought, ‘I can’t just come in in a shirt and sandals. Princeton’s a little upper class —maybe a little hoity-toity, so I put on a shirt and a tie and a sweater vest, and I had a great time there. I taught for a month or two and really enjoyed it, and the kids enjoyed it, and after that the students were eager to have me come back so I came back the next fall again as a substitute. They didn’t know my name as Mr. Brown. They just knew me as that guy with the sweater vest. I had to keep up that appearance. Hun decided to hire me back full time in 2008, and ten years later I’m still wearing a sweater vest every day at school.” Attributing his success in part to the school itself, Mr. Brown emphasized the atmosphere at T he Hun School and the small class sizes. ”I couldn’t ask for a better school,” he said. “There are a lot of good schools in Princeton, but there’s something about the Hun School where the relationship between the teachers and students is really like a family. We know each other well. It’s such a wonderful school.” Keep it Moving Another apparent secret to Mr. Brown’s success is his constant quest to improve his craft. “I’m always looking at ways to be better,” he said. “I’m never content with how I am as a teacher. I go home and critique myself every day. If there’s a better way I’ll figure that out and I’ll try it. I’ll find a way to make math more accessible. If you really get math you feel so good about yourself, and if you don’t get math you feel like you’re a terrible person, so I just want to make sure that everyone feels good about t hemselves, and I t hin k math is one of the first steps to do that.” He described his classroom as much more of a conversation than a lecture.

“I’m talking with them about math, keeping it interesting, and because this generation is so saturated with technology and speed, you just have to keep things moving. So I’ll have them up writing problems on the board, then I’ll teach for a bit, then we’ll take a break, then we’ll do group work together, then online practice. They don’t realize that they’re learning. They just know that they’re moving a lot.” According to Mr. Brown, students’ increasing need for im mediate grat if ica- “MOZART OF TEACHING”: Hun School teacher Ryan Brown, dressed in his signature sweater tion makes teaching more vest, loves conducting, teaching, and doing math.

Teaching them these skills really helps them.” As far as his own future is concerned, 41-year-old Mr. Brown is looking forward to finishing his dissertation and earning his PhD soon — “I’m about 90 percent done” — but has no desire to move. “I’m in no rush to go anywhere,” he said. “I’m very happy where I am. My wife is teaching at Lehigh and she’s happy where she is. My immediate goal is to make my teaching better, keep adapting to this culture of students, always making math and music interesting and helpful for the kids.” As faculty representative on The Hun Board of Trustees, Mr. Brown is pleased to be helping to plan the school’s f ut ure. “I like where it’s going. We’re always looking forward. It’s very impressive. I love being here. I love the students. I love the school.” A n d w h e n R y a n i s n’t te a c h i n g, p r e p a r i n g to teach, or conducting, he can probably be found with his family. While his wife Sun Min is teaching and conducting at Lehigh, Mr. Brown is in charge of their daughter from after school until bedtime. “Since my wife is from South Korea, I’m always trying to learn the language more and more. I go to a Saturday school at the Korean church where I’m taking language lessons. My daughter and I go hand in hand every Saturday morning and learn Korean together. It’s really fun,” Mr. Brown said. —Donald Gilpin

Books “Mapmaker’s Daughter” Receiving Early Praise

Delphinium Books will publish Princeton resident Katherine Nouri Hughes’s n ov e l T he Ma p ma ke r’s Daughter next month. Although the author will not be appearing at Labyrinth until October 9, the book has been receiving impressive advance notice. According to Cleveland E. Dodge Professor of Near Eastern Studies, Emeritus, Princeton University’s Bernard Lewis, “When the fiction is good, the history is usually distorted, and on the rare occasions when the history is good, the fiction is usually less interesting than the straight historical narrative. This novel is a remarkable exception…part history, part fiction, it is enthralling.” Novelist Edmund White writes, “Of all the appetites the lust for power is the strongest—and most dangerous. This is a lively, absorbing and utterly convincing self-portrait of a woman who came under the influence of the greatest of all Ottoman sultans—with tragic consequences.” Arnold Rampersad, a former Princeton University faculty member and the author

that department’s advisory council. She has published two books on k-12 education, was a communications executive in the for-profit and non-profit sectors, and serves on the boards of the American University in Cairo, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and WNET/13, the public television station. She has two daughters and two grandchildren.

Thoughts on Proposed Rt. 1 Construction After Attending West Windsor, Princeton Meetings

To the Editor: I attended both the W. Windsor meeting and the Princeton Town Council meeting that dealt with Rt. 1 construction. No one at either meeting said anything about Alexander Road. The recent Town Topics [“Council Casts Votes In Favor of Measures on Group Home and More,” pg. one, July 12) reports “... and the extension of the queue before entering the jughandle turn at Alexander Road.” The jughandle on Alexander is at Canal Point Blvd. The circumference of the jughandle appears to be adequate to me at the present time. Why does more land have to be purchased, at taxpayer expense, to do something that appears to be unnecessary? If Canal Point Blvd. were to be extended, that is an entirely different question. There is a jughandle by the turn to the Hyatt but that seems to be for Black Rock, etc. traffic only. I believe what Anne Levin meant to say was that the jughandle at Rt. 1 and Fisher Place is proposed to be extended. I do not feel the Town Council is aware of what they have approved, by approving the resolution on July 10. They have approved a “cross-over jughandle” from Harrison St. to Rt. 1 North. This will create more congestion because vehicles will have to stop twice, not once! Once to cross Rt. 1 and then, again, to cross Harrison St. At the WW Town Council meeting it was incorrectly stated that this new jughandle would be like the one at Menlo Park. That jughandle is tilted to the left (northward), so there is no recrossing involved. This jughandle would be tilted to the right (southward). Furthermore, cars exiting going south would be directed to Fairview Rd. and Washington Rd. Vehicles going north on Rt. 1 who want to use the Sunoco station or make a U Turn would have to go to Scudders Mill Rd. to make a U Turn. Didn’t the DOT try eliminating left turns before and the results were negative? Is that what DOT wants to experience this time, also? I have received assurance from Heather Howard that she would look into this problem and report back to me. I am sorry that I did not receive any notice about any public hearing in Princeton about the Rt. 1 proposal and am grateful that the West Windsor Bicycle & Pedestrian Alliance notified me. I came to the Princeton Town Council meeting to hear and discuss the elimination of the contract with ARC for maintenance services and Anne Levin didn’t even report on that part of the meeting, despite the fact the meeting ended extremely early!

Montgomery Area Life Residential, Retail, and Commercial Construction Underway in Montgomery Township and Belle Mead An upsurge in construction of residential housing and retail and commercial building is underway in the Montgomery Township and Belle Mead area. Buyers, sellers, real estate professionals, developers, and builders are all in the midst of this ongoing activity. “We have had several new communities sell out in recent years, and we have one large community that just opened its sales office this spring, so for another year or two, there will be new construction options available,” reports Joel Winer, sales associate with Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty. New housing focuses on residential communities, he adds, but a limited number of single home construction is also available. “We do have new single family homes, and there is variety. Along with the McMansions, there are smaller family homes being built. Also, a new townhouse community recently sold out, and there is also an affordable option in that community.” Unlike Princeton, teardowns are rare in Montgomery, he adds.

Important Reason The excellent school system is an important reason for the increasing development in Montgomery, points out Mr. Winer. “Most buyers are families wanting the schools, and we see most of these buyers coming from other communities in New Jersey that have school systems perceived to be lesser. “And Montgomery is a very nice community. In addition, you can get more home and land for the money in Montgomery than in Princeton.” Fox Brook at Montgomery is an example of a very successful residential community. Opened in 2015, it includes 22 executive-size houses on acre-plus wooded sites. “Fox Brook is private and wooded, with large homesites,” explains Danielle Tampier, marketing coordinator of Country Classics, the Fox Brook builder. “Large homesites for new construction are hard to find in New Jersey. We currently only have six homes remaining before the community is sold out.” School System Ms. Tampier points out that the growing reputation

of Montgomery Township as an attractive and desirable area for families and the award-winning school system continue to draw people to Fox Brook. In addition, the location between Princeton and Somerville, as well as convenient access to New York and Philadelphia, are other features contributing to its increasing popularity. Another successful residential community is Estates at Waverly Place in Belle Mead, a project by Staats Farm Road Developers LLC. This upscale community includes seven luxury homesites on one acre-plus land. Houses feature four and five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and three-car garages. Many other amenities and highlights are offered. A few houses are still available. Retail and commercial construction is also increasing in Montgomery and Belle Mead. According to a recent report from the Montgomery Township Planning Department, the Master Plan focuses on growth in two places along the northern-most and southern-most ends of the Route 206 corridor.

Future development at the southern end along Route 206 by Princeton Airport will require the developer to build off-site improvements to ease traffic flow around the corner of Route 518 and Route 206, notes the report. Open Space Regarding the northern section of development, known as Country Club Meadows, the report points out that it “is a mixed-use development along Route 206 in the northern end of Montgomery Township. Development will begin construction

in September. The retail portion includes Pike Run Plaza with stores anchored by a CVS Pharmacy; and Belle Mead Plaza, a mixed-use shopping center of smaller storefronts, also featuring 28 apartments above. The residential area will include a neighborhood of 108 single family homes on half-acre lots, and 40 patio homes on average 6,000-square-feet lots.” An effort has been made to balance appropriate growth while at the same time retaining open space in the area.

According to the report, “Country Club Meadows will provide needed services to local residents and provide new housing to the Township of various kinds. Completion of Belle Mead Plaza is planned for the fall of 2017, with Pike Run Plaza to follow.” In addition to residential, retail, and commercial construction, a bit further north, the area offers a new assisted living facility, All American Assisted Living at Hillsborough.

The idea here is to offer the same beautiful environment on a smaller scale, same amenities (and more), but keep the cost down. “All American has a very rapidly growing success rate in other states, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.

From Wine Bottles to an Amplified Cactus: Sō Percussion Looks For the Unusual

In a popu lar YouTube video from 2014, four men seated on a stage with their backs to the Los Angeles Philharmonic are snapping twigs in carefully timed unison. As the orchestra, led by famed conductor Gustavo Dudamel, continues to play a piece called man made by composer David Lang, the four turn their attention from the twigs to rows of wine bottles, which they clink and plonk with precision. Welcome to the world of Sō Percussion, the 18-yearold musical ensemble that seeks out new and collaborative works for percussion instruments — traditional and other wise. You may have seen them perform-

ing in various venues on the Princeton University campus and in town over the past week (appearances conclude this weekend in the Matthews Theater, Lewis Center for the Arts, at 185 Nassau Street). Now in their ninth year teaching a two-week summer program to 26 collegeage percussionists and eight composers on the University campus, the four members of the Sō Percussion Summer Institute (SoSI) group serve as faculty in rehearsal, performance, and discussion of contemporary music. “We have a big mix of students,” said Adam Silwinski, a member of the ensemble. “They are playing some of the existing works in the

percussion repertory going back about 100 years. Then we have composers who come and write and they play those works, too.” It was nine years ago that Mr. Silwinski and his colleagues Eric Cha-Beach, Josh Quillen, and Jason Treuting decided they wanted to offer chamber music for percussion in a summer institute setting. This was unusual, since most summer opportunities for percussion students are in large orchestras. “We didn’t know if anybody would come. The faculty said, ‘Try it out here.’ So it happened, and it has kept going,” Mr. Silwinski recalled. Sō Percussion was an ensemble in residence at the University for three years before switching to a year-round presence on the campus three years ago. The group is hardly the first to explore sounds that can be made on instruments other than what is usually found in a symphony orchestra. “About 80 years ago, the composer John Cage started using tin cans, coffee cups, and instruments from around the world,” Mr. Silwinski said. “We’ve made music using flower pots and an amplified cactus. Part of the percussionist’s trade is to find ordinary objects to use, and see what their

PERCUSSIVE MULTI-TASKING: A typical performance by Sō Percussion, which concludes its summer institute at Princeton this weekend, is never confined to traditional instruments. (Photo by Claudia Hansen) possibilities are. A lot of our festival is about the creativity of what you can do with these objects.” Members of Sō Percussion met at the Yale University School of Music. “We all studied the classical conservatory thing,” Mr. Silwinski said. “Classical percussion is still sort of an oddball category. You’re still kind of the one doing the weird sounds. One of the fun things about the concerto we did with the L.A. Philharmonic is that we were out in front for some of the piece, which is unusual.” Most everything Sō Percussion performs is music written specifically for those instruments. “This year’s theme is pieces that in their time were way out in left field,” Mr. Silwinski said. “Some people would still feel they’re in left field. They’ve definitely been out there for years.” T h e comp os it ion pro gram at SoSI culminates with a public reading of a new piece by every participant, developed with the collaboration of v isiting artists and composers. The students also write smaller, portable pieces for their colleagues, and have been play-

ing them this week in places like Small World Coffee and Hinds Plaza. All of the young participants are music majors, mostly on a professional music track. “They aren’t all doing this kind of stuff, primarily,” Mr. Silwinski said. “For some that might have other interests, this rounds out their experience. And I think it serves them well.” Remaining performances by SoSI are Friday and Sat urday, 7:30 p.m., at 185 Nassau Street. Open composer readings are on Friday, while the annual closing concert is Saturday. Admission is free. —Anne Levin

PST Presents Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible”

Princeton Summer Theater’s third show of the 2017 season opens Thursday, July 27 with Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Regarded as a classic of American theatre, The Crucible uses the proceedings of the Salem witch trials to examine the manic effects of mass hysteria in society. As an increasing number of upstanding townspeople are accused of witchcraft, Mr. Miller emphasizes the contagious nature of fear and the elusiveness of truth. The 1953 Tony Award-winning play invites us to question the importance of upholding morality in times of hardship. T he s e as on conclude s next month with Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ drama Appropriate. This summer’s season explores the interplay between the past and the present. The characters in each play demonstrate vastly different ways of dealing with their individual histories. All are made stronger through the struggle of facing this adversit y. These diverse works are reflective of the challenges posed to us today over whether it is better to look to the past for inspiration or move in the direction of future progress. Per for ma nce s for The Crucible run July 27-30 and August 3-6, with shows at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Performances are at the Hamilton Murray Theater located on Princeton University’s campus. A talkback will occur after the evening performances on Friday, July 28 and August 4 with the director, cast, and creative team. Tickets are $29.50 for general admission, $24.50 for students and matinees. To order tickets, visit www.princetonsummer theater.org / tickets or call the PST box office at (732) 997-0205. ———

he repertory for orchestral trio includes music for almost every combination of instruments imaginable, but especially for piano, violin and cello. The Lysander Piano Trio, formed at the Juilliard School, is less than ten years old, but is nevertheless a major ensemble player on the chamber music scene. The Lysander Trio came to Princeton last Tuesday night for a concert at Richardson Auditorium which showed that the appeal of these three instruments together has never faded, from the time of Mozart to the present day. Pianist Liza Stepanova, violinist Itamar Zorman, and cellist Michael Katz performed five works dating after the mid-19th century and representing several regions of Europe and the United States. Like many composers of the 19th century, the Spaniard Enrique Granados was inspired by the visual arts, in particular the paintings of Francisco Goya. Granados’ opera Goyescas, presented at the Metropolitan Opera in 1915, apparently required extensive scene change music, and Granados composed intermezzo to provide an interlude while the stage crew did their work. Twentieth-century Catalonian cellist Gaspar Cassadó later arranged intermezzo for piano trio, and from the outset of Tuesday night’s concert, the Lysander Trio brought out the drama and grace in the music. Intermezzo began jarringly, with short bass notes on the piano and an elegant countermelody in the violin. Ms. Stepanova continually watched the other two musicians carefully, and the three players together well conveyed the music’s Spanish dance influence. A PhD graduate of Princeton University, Gilad Cohen has composed in a number of genres, with an imaginative approach to musical inventiveness. This past year, the Lysander Piano Trio commissioned Mr. Cohen for a chamber piece, and the resulting Around a Cauldron drew its inspiration from the three witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. In a sort of musical fan fiction, Mr. Cohen created seven miniature movements depicting the three witches sitting around their cauldron in a dark forest in the middle of the night. In this work, Mr. Cohen captured the bubbling witches’ brew and sinister cackles in a creative and accessible way. Mr. Katz’s jazzy cello set a scary scene in the opening of the work, with an ostinato leading to a rich and spirited melody. Precise piano fragments reflected flying creatures around the cauldron, as the seven movements of this piece blended together in a continuous flowing stream. A unison line between violin and cello smoothly shifted by microtones against spooky keyboard passages. Mr. Zorman’s sharp violin strokes definitely conjured up spirits, aided by Ms. Stepanova’s innovative piano part. It was fitting that a work inspired by

witches be followed by a Rhapsody by Franz Liszt, whose music was so difficult it was considered by some to be demonic. Originally composed for piano, Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 9 in E-flat Major was transcribed by the composer himself for piano trio. Beginning with a forceful statement from the piano, Liszt’s Rhapsody initially featured a gentle dialog between violin and cello. A rhapsody by nature is free form, and the quirky and off-beat passages of this piece would have fit in well around the cauldron of the previous Cohen work. The flexibility and nimbleness of Ms. Stepanova’s playing was most notable, as the Lysander Trio brought out well the gypsy flair of the music, speeding up toward the end in a typically Liszt fashion to a demonic and virtuosic close. The Trio devoted the second half of the concert to music of the French Impressionistic period, with a particular musical treat in the one-movement D’un matin de printemps of Lili Boulanger, whose short life was overshadowed by that of her legendary pedagogue sister Nadia Boulanger, but whose music was no less important. Ms. Stepanova showed a particularly delicate touch in conveying raindrops on the piano against a sweet melody from Mr. Zorman on violin and a smooth cello melody from Mr. Katz. Boulanger composed this piece in three different arrangements, and the piano trio version showed the close ties Boulanger had to the muted orchestral effects of the early 20th century, which were well conveyed by the Lysander musicians. The French master of this period was no doubt Maurice Ravel, whose 1914 Piano Trio in A Minor is considered a major work for this combination of players. Composed on the brink of World War I (Ravel actually sped up work on the piece so he could enlist in the army), this Piano Trio incorporated jazz, musical pointillism, and a bit of Parisian gaiety. Ravel deliberately set the piano and violin parts very low in the register of these instruments to bring out the cello melodies, and often Ms. Stepanova played with just the left hand. The third movement in particular was marked by a sweet duet between the strings, and like many of Ravel’s orchestral works, a musical sunrise shone light on the work (and performance) as a whole. An encore by Czech composer and violinist Josef Suk displayed majestic piano chords and luxurious violin lines to the very enthusiastic audience at Richardson to bring the musical evening to a close. he final concert of the Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts series will be on Wednesday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium, featuring the Argus Quartet. Tickets are free and are available online by visiting www.tickets.princeton.edu/online. —Nancy Plum

Mercer County Community College’s ( MCCC ) Dance faculty invites the community to a free performance entitled, “Dance Dialogues” on Sat urday, July 29 starting at 8 p.m. Performances will be held in the Studio Theatre on the college’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. According to Dance Prog r a m C o or d i n ator J o d y Gazenbeek-Person, this is the college’s first full facult y dance concer t, w ith every member of the faculty contributing original w or k , i n c l u d i n g G a z e n beek-Person, Jill Molinaro, Jennifer Gladney, and Rebecca Brodowski. Most of the pieces will feature professional dancers, inclu d i ng t hos e f rom fac ulty members’ own dance companies. Two pieces will be performed by Mercer’s Dance students. According to Mr. Gazenbeek-Person, the concer t was conceived to help audiences gain a better appreciation of dance. “We know a lot of people feel challenged by the idea of attending a dance concert. At the end of each piece, the choreographer will discuss their work to help the audience understand how ‘to read’ the dance. Since all of us are dance educators, as well as professional dancers, we are excited to share perspectives on how to critically look at dance,” he said, adding that instructor Jill Molinaro proposed the show and collaborated with Gazenbeek-Person. Mr. Gazenbeek-Person is creating several or iginal dances for the concert with his dance par tner A nton Person-Gazenbeek. Influences in his pieces include A r g e nt i n e t a n g o, d i s co, and traditional elements of ballet. They will also perform “The Blues Number,” a ground-breaking Broadway piece from the 1950s, Topics and a powerful variation of

O n e fe a tures movement and music that alternates between loos ely coord inated and tightly coordinated movements. “It is birthed from the idea that our lives must have balance – between a tightly r un ship and go ing with the moment. This is a great star ting place for a discussion with the au d i e n ce,” M s. G lad n e y said. Her second piece is inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love. Instructor Jill Molinaro will present an 11-minute work entitled “Alteration,” which explores architectural movements through space. It will be performed by L J Boyce, Amanda Chiarello, Sherr y Greenspan, Mecquel, Doreen Laperdon-Addison, Melissa Rasimowicz, and Nella Iaccarino. The music is City Boy by Judd Greenstein. Instructor Rebecca Brodowski’s dance company w ill per for m t wo pieces, one of wh ich is choreo graphed by MCCC alumna Brianne Scott, a performer with the Philadelphia based company M2M. T hrough the use of a projector that will add background context, Ms. Scott’s piece will create an immersive exper ience. In another work, choreographed by Ms. Brodowski, dancers will focus on t he choices we make ever y day and how t hey create a chain reaction. Donations will be accepted at the door.

CINEMA REVIEW

Historical Drama Recreates 1939 Attempt to Assassinate Hitler

elieve it or not, over a dozen different attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler (Udo Schenk) were made until he took his own life in April of 1945. In 1944, Hitler only suffered minor injuries in the bombing that was the focus of Valkyrie (2008), a documentary drama that stars Tom Cruise. Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall), 13 Minutes describes this first attempt to assassinate Hitler just after he had taken control of Germany. The incident occurred in Munich on November 8, 1939 in a hall where the Führer was scheduled to deliver an address. Unfortunately, Georg Elser’s (Christian Friedel) homemade time bomb went off too late, because Hitler had already completed his remarks and left the building 13 minutes earlier accompanied by the Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels (Ulrich Matthes), Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess, and the architect of the Holocaust, Heinrich Himmler (Ulrich Noethen). Later that same day, Georg was apprehended when he was trying to cross into Switzerland. Border guards took him into custody after they discovered him with incriminating evidence that led them to believe that he was connected to the explosion. He was taken to Germany’s Chief of Police Arthur

Nebe (Burghart Klauszner) and Gestapo Chief Heinrich Muller (Johann von Bulow) for interrogation, but Georg refused to answer any questions until they threatened to arrest his girlfriend Elsa (Katharina Schuttler). Georg then confessed to protect her, but they still didn’t believe that a simple carpenter could have possibly acted alone to produce a powerful explosive device that claimed eight lives and wounded 62. So, they resorted to torture to extract the identities of his suspected accomplices who only existed in their imaginations. But Georg had nothing further to share, other than an explanation of how he’d secretly amassed enough gunpowder to construct the bomb. 13 Minutes has an unorthodox story structure, because it opens with the failed assassination attempt, and is followed by a series of Georg’s flashbacks. While behind bars, he reminisces about everything from his disgust with the Nazis to his relationship with Elsa. Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for sexuality and disturbing violence. In German with subtitles. Running time: 114 minutes. Production Studio: Lucky Bird Pictures. Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics. —Kam Williams

After Promising Rookie Season for Browns, PU Alum DeValve Aiming to Be Impact Player

espite being hampered by injuries that caused him to miss a big chunk of playing time in his final two seasons with the Princeton University football team, Seth DeValve caught the eye of the National Football League. The star receiver was chosen as the 138th pick in the fourth round of the 2016 National Football League draft by the Cleveland Browns, the highest-drafted Tiger in the modern era. But as DeValve, 24, started training camp for the Browns last summer, a hamstring injury nearly derailed his pro career. Keeping his head in the game as his leg got better by taking mental reps and soaking in the team’s playbook, DeValve returned to action in August. “I got healthy, I got back into the swing of things,” said the 6’3, 245-pound DeValve, a native of Manchester, Conn. who had 122

receptions for 1,336 yards and seven touchdowns in his Princeton career, ranking 10th in catches in program history. “By the third preseason game, I was playing a lot. I played in the fourth preseason game. I made the team.” As the season unfolded, DeValve made an impact for the 1-15 Browns at backup tight end, recording 10 catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns. On Thursday, DeValve starts his second training camp with the Browns in Berea, Ohio, looking to move into a starting spot at tight end. Over the spring, he took a step forward in that quest, playing a bigger role in organized team activities (OTAs) as the Browns went through their off-season paces. “I got to take a lot more reps and assume more responsibility and have more

of a leadership role, which I like,” said DeValve, who was a team captain in his final season at Princeton. “It was a good experience, it challenged me.” The experience of getting into NFL preseason action last summer put things into perspective for DeValve. “You get drafted, you go through the mini-camps, and you get to camp and it doesn’t maybe seem real yet,” said DeValve. “But once you run through the tunnel into the stadium with 60,000 fans and the flames on either side, that makes it real. I am in the NFL. I can remember we were in a TV timeout and I was in the huddle on the field just waiting for the broadcast to start again and the refs to blow the whistle. I had time to think during the timeout and it was like how the heck did I get from playing Harvard to playing here. It was pretty cool.”

Playing against the Philadelphia Eagles in the season opener last September was another eye-opening moment for DeValve. “The second wakeup call that I had was that first regular season game, realizing what it is going to take to win and be a good player at that level,” said DeValve. “Sometimes you just have to go through it. I left the field thinking I could have done better; I could have prepared better. That springboarded me for the rest of the season and how I was going to prepare.” On October 30, DeValve made his first career catch with a five-yard reception against the New York Jets. “I know in the huddle when a play is called if it is designed for me,” said DeValve. “I get excited when those plays get called in the game. In the play against the Jets, I remember that Darrelle Revis was covering me, what a great opportunity to get my first catch.” Less than two weeks later, DeValve found the end zone for the first time as a pro, scoring on a 25-yard pass play against the Baltimore Ravens in a Thursday Night Football contest. “Quite honestly that was one of the easiest touchdowns I have scored,” said DeValve. “I don’t think I was touched the entire time, it was just a good play call and throw.” DeValve produced a very good game on November 27 against the New York Giants, making three catches for 39 yards, including a long reception of 21 yards. “I felt like after that game that I could really be a great player in the NFL, not because I got three catches but because I caught three balls and moved down the field and broke tackles,” said DeValve.

ON THE RISE: Seth DeValve leaps for the ball during his career with the Princeton University football team. DeValve is getting ready for his second training camp with the Cleveland Browns, which starts this Thursday in Berea, Ohio. Tight end DeValve made 10 catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns last fall in his rookie campaign. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “It gave me confidence in my ability to play at that level and be a great player.” As DeValve gets ready to hit to the field for the 2017 campaign, he believes the performance against the Giants is a harbinger of things to come. “I am carrying that confidence up to the present day, ready to get out to a second season and be a better

player,” said DeValve, who is focusing on running drills in his training the summer, working out at the Inspire Performance Academy in Pennington before heading back to the Cleveland area this month. “My goals and expectations are to be the No.1 tight end; getting on the field, taking a lot of reps, and catching a lot of balls.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Rowers Medal at U23 Worlds

Claire Collins ’19 claimed silver, while Emily Kallfelz ’19, Matthew Benstead ’17, and David Bewicke-Copley ’20 all earned bronze, to wrap up an exciting week for seven Princeton University rowers competing at the 2017 U-23 World Rowing Championships, which were held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Collins, a 2017 All-America honoree with the Ivy League champion Princeton open women, rowed in the 2 seat for the U.S. women’s 8+. The U.S. battled Canada for gold in the A final Sunday morning, with each boat moving to the front over the first 1,000 meters. Canada g r abb e d cont rol d u r i n g the third split and finished strong for gold, while the U.S. held off Russia for silver in a time of 6:16.40, less than a second faster than the Russian boat. Kallfelz, who has shared the Princeton varsity 8 with Collins over back-to-back Ivy championship victories, didn’t share a boat with anybody at the U-23 World Championships. One year after former Ivy and NCAA champion Gevvie Stone ‘07 won Olympic silver in the single sculls, Kallfelz represented the USA in the single and earned bronze in Bulgaria. The rising junior was in fifth place after 500 meters, but she started to make her move from there. She passed the French rower before the midway point, and then moved past the German rower over the second half of the race to move into medal contention. She fell just short in a tight showdown with the Swiss rower and finished with bronze in 7:42.68. Benstead, a 2017 graduate, and rising sophomore

Bewicke-Copley rowed together this week as members of the British men’s 8+, and they passed the American eight to take third in their grand final with a time of 5:32.64. The Netherlands took the win, while Romania held off the British crew for silver. Three other Tigers competed at the U-23 World Championships. Emma Hopkins ’20 was part of the USA women’s lightweight 4x that won the petite final to finish seventh overall. Rising junior Daniel de Groot helped the Canadian men’s 4x rally past France in the second half of their petite final to win and take seventh overall. Rising senior heavyweight Leo Toch helped the U.S. men’s 4- claim third in the petite final to place ninth overall. ———

Princeton Men’s Soccer Strikes Gold at Maccabiah

Princeton University men’s soccer players Josh Haberman ’17 and Benji Issroff ’20 along with assistant coach David Goldstein ’17 helped the U.S. squad capture gold at the 2017 Maccabiah Games in Israel. The trio began group play on July 5 with a 3-0 shutout of Venezuela before dropping its only match of the tournament to Great Britain, 1-0. The U.S. squad rebounded with a 2-0 win over Australia to finish 2-1 in the group and second with six points, one behind Great Britain, a squad that went 2-0-1 for seven points. In the quarterfinals on July 12, the U.S. team defeated Uruguay 2-1 to set up a semifinal against the host nation Israel. Pulling out a nail-biter, the U.S. edged Israel 2-1 to earn a rematch against Great Britain in the gold medal game. Learning from the previous setback, the U.S. turned the tables on the British, posting a 3-0 victory to take gold. The triumph marked first time the U.S. men’s soccer team has won back-to-back gold medals at the Maccabiah Games.

Jake Alu was a star from day one of his baseball career at Princeton Day School. Alu started at shortstop as a freshman in the spring of 2012, hitting at the top of the order for PDS. He was a fixture in that spot all four years, exceeding the 100-hit mark in his career, becoming the program’s all-time hits leader. Along the way, Alu earned All-Prep B accolades each season of his career, included first-team honors as a senior.

When I didn’t play, it was mentally and physically hard on me.” This spring, Alu emerged as one of BC’s better players, leading the Eagles with a .331 batting average with 55 hits, a double, 23 RBIs, 15 walks and 12 stolen bases. “Just because the name on the front of the jersey is a big name in the ACC, you can’t look at it that way, said the 5’10, 177-pound

Packer Hall Wins Summer Hoops Series Opener As TNCJ Alum Johnson Helps Thwart Majeski Last year, Kevin Johnson helped the Majeski Foundation win the title in the Princeton Recreation Depar tment Summer Men’s Basketball League. O n M o n d a y, J o h n s o n was trying to keep Majeski, The College of New Jersey men’s hoops team entry in the league, from taking a big step toward a second straight crown as a star guard for the Packer Hall All-Stars when the squads met in the first game of the best-of-three title series. “It is weird, I am not used to going against them like that, I am used to playing with them,” said the 6’0, 170-pound Johnson, a former TCNJ standout guard who played his senior campaign for the Lions in 201617, averaging 3.5 points a game. “It is less structured with Packer because we have no

plays and we have the rotation and we want to get everyone to play. It is more freelance, it is fun.” It was weird to see Packer in the title series against top-seeded and undefeated Majeski as it went 2-6 in regular season and was the seventh-seeded team in the playoffs “It is definitely defense and not being lazy,” said Johnson of the team’s unlikely playoff run that started with a 58-51 victory over second-seeded LoyalTees in the quarterfinals before a 39-38 overtime win against sixth-seeded NJAC in the semis. “Before we played defense but we would be lackadaisical. We wouldn’t make the extra effort. We want to win in the playoffs.” Packer displayed its defensive intensity in the title series opener on Monday,

leading 11-10 at halftime on the way to a 30-29 victory. “It was just play hard and whatever happens, hap pens,” said Johnson, reflecting on Packer’s mentality coming into the contest. “It was don’t try to force anything, just play defense and just play as hard as you can and live with the result.” Johnson chipped in seven points in the win, including a critical three-pointer that knotted the game at 23-23 with less the five minutes remaining in regulation. “When I first walked in, I didn’t get to shoot or anything,” said Johnson. “I got a little rhythm; I felt better in the second half.” Khalid Lewis got into a rhythm for Packer, scoring a game-high 10 points, including the game-winning free throw with four seconds left in the second half. “He brings everything, he plays hard on defense, he is our vocal point,” said Johnson of Lewis. “He a lw ays br i ngs u s back to where we need to be mind- wise. He is always playing hard so we feed off of him.” Playing hard to the final whistle, Packer overcame a late 29-26 deficit to pull out the win. “It was not giving up, we were down at some points but we still played defense,” said Johnson. “We weren’t afraid to take those shots so live with the result.” L ook ing a head to t he second game of the series which is slated for July 26 at the Community Park courts, Johnson knows that Packer needs to bring the intensity it showed on Monday in order to come away with a title. “It is play just as hard, they are going to come back playing harder,” said Johnson. “They were undefeated until today. They are going to be upset on Wednesday and we have to be able to conquer that.” —Bill Alden

PHS Baseball Standout Durbin Comes Up Big, Helping West Windsor Babe Ruth to State Title Teddy Durbin celebrated his 16th birthday last Sunday but he already received a special gift two days earlier. P itch i ng for t he We s t Windsor-Plainsboro Babe Ruth 15-year-old All Stars, rising Princeton High junior Durbin helped the squad defeat Hamilton-Northern Burlington 7-4 as the program captured its first ever Southern New Jersey state title. West Windsor will now compete in the Babe Ruth Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament in Naskayunk, N.Y. with that tourney wrapping up this weekend. In Durbin’s view, a special team chemistry helped fuel the run to the state crown. “I think just from last year where we had started actually combining the Plainsboro, West Windsor and Princeton kids, we weren’t totally bonding with each other as much,” said Durbin, who was joined by fellow Princeton resident Judd Petrone on the team that includes West Windsor, Princeton, Plainsboro, and Cranbury players as the Princeton Babe Ruth merged its charter with West Windsor Plainsboro Babe Ruth about five years ago. “Going into this year, we knew each other better and we were more comfortable and that made it easier to win.” For Durbin, playing for the PHS varsity baseball program this spring gave him an extra comfort level when he hit the field for the Babe Ruth season. “That was really good, it gave me a lot of experience that I didn’t really have before,” said Durbin, who pitched and played first base for PHS, earning the program’s top varsity pitcher award from the coaching staff. “There were a lot of upperclassmen who really helped me develop throughout the year so that was a really

good experience. I see pitching as my most important thing but I think this year I improved a lot on hitting just because of being able to play on the varsity team this year. That was pretty good.” Durbin has seen a lot of action on the diamond this summer, playing for the Princeton Post 218 American Legion team and travel ball in addition to competing for West Windsor Babe Ruth. “My travel team was really good this year because it is based in West Windsor and they made their schedule work around Babe Ruth,” said Durbin. “I could only play legion ball during down times with Babe Ruth and travel; I tried to make as many games as I could. It is nonstop but it is the sport I love so it was a lot of fun.” After placing third in the District One Tournament to earn the last spot in the state tourney, West Windsor gained momentum by defeating defending champion Millville 8-3 in its state opener. “I could tell that the team wasn’t nervous and that we were ready to battle with a really good team,” said Durbin, who pitched five innings to get the win on the mound, giving up two hits and recording seven strikeouts with no earned runs. “We showed up ready to play and it looked like we wanted it a little bit more than them. That was really important. Winning that first game against the defending champs gives everyone a confidence boost.” The team posted a 7-2 win over Jersey Shore and a 3-1 victory over Hamilton-Northern Burlington to advance to the championship round of the double-elimination competition. Taking the mound on Friday for the rematch against Hamilton-Northern Burlington, Durbin was looking to keep things simple. “They felt more pressure since we beat them in the previous game,” said Durbin, who 5 2/3rd innings to get

the victory, giving up one earned run and striking out two. “I was pitching to contact and letting my defense do the work and it paid off.” After putting in so much hard work over the years, Durbin savored the title. “It feels really good, it is great,” said Durbin, who had come close to winning state title with the Princeton Little League program as it placed third in the 2015 New Jersey Intermediate 50/70 tournament. “Doing it with Judd especially was really good too because we had been together with Princeton before that since we were six or seven. The West Windsor guys were great too. We bonded really well together.” Durbin feels t he West Windsor squad is peaking at the right time. “For the past two years I have been on the team, this is the best we have played,” said Durbin. “There have been a lot of clutch hits, the defense has picked up and our pitching has been really good this year.” Coming into the regional, which features pool play followed by a playoff round, Durbin and his teammates believe they can be a title contender. “We are definitely going in there trying to win and we think that the way the tournament is set up, we have a good shot to win,” said Durbin. “Every team makes the playoff. We are going to try to not burn as many pitchers and save our arms. The quarterfinals are on Friday and then the semis and the finals are on Saturday. If we get in a good enough spot going into Friday and Saturday, we would be in really good shape.” Looking ahead, Durbin is hoping to help PHS experience some playoff success next spring. “Our whole starting rotation is returning; it is very possible that we can win double digit games t his year,” said Durbin. “I think we can win our division too; it could be a big year for us.” —Bill Alden

most people are not aware that trees can be protected from lightning until after they have been damaged or destroyed. Trees are attractive lightning targets because they provide a better conducting path than air. Lightning protection systems work by neutralizing opposing cloud and ground charges well above the tree, so that it is never struck, thus protecting your home and family as well. Several factors, too numerous for this column space to accommodate, go into assessing the potential risk of an individual tree being struck. With the prevalence of summer storms, the risk of lightning strikes increases significantly. Existing lightning protection systems should definitely be inspected from top to bottom every three to five years for any maintenance or repair requirements.

Richard Saltonstall Kinsey Richard Saltonstall Kinsey died peacefully at home on July 23, 2017, at the age of 94. He lived at the Acorn Glen assisted living residence in Princeton, New Jersey. Kinsey was born in New York City on May 10, 1923, the younger son of Edwin Marshall Kinsey and Wilhelmina Patton Kinsey, and was raised in Riverton and Cinnaminson, New Jersey. He lived in Princeton, N.J. (1946–1948); Moorestown, N.J. (1948–1971); several towns in South Jersey and Ok la homa (1972-1978 ) ; Floyd, Va. (1979 –1981); and Haddon Township, N.J. (1981–2011), before returning to Princeton in 2011. Valedictorian of his class at Moorestown High School, Kinsey received an A.B. in philosophy, Phi Beta Kappa, from Middlebury College in Vermont in 1944 and pursued graduate studies in philosophy at Princeton University from 1946 to 1948. During World War II he was a Lieutenant junior grade in the United States Naval Reserve and served on a patrol class escort (PCE) in the North Pacific.

After graduate school Kinsey worked at the family farm in Moorestown for a year and then followed his father into the stock brokerage business. He worked for firms in Philadelphia and then in the early 1960s opened the first stock brokerage office in Burlington County, New Jersey. He enjoyed raising his family on the family peony nursery and Christmas tree farm in Moorestown, where one year he raised two cattle named Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Kinsey then quit a conventional career and marched to the beat of his own drum for the rest of his life. He summited Mount Rainier in Washington State in 1973 and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 1974, having climbed Mauna Loa in Hawaii during the war in 1945 and many mountains and trails in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine since childhood. Kinsey was a man of wideranging intellectual and artistic interests. Admiring especially Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead, Kinsey studied analytical philosophy and its history throughout his life. A self-taught calligrapher and book maker, Kinsey was particularly proud of a solo exhibit of his art at the then Roanoke (Va.) Museum of Art in 1981; his inclusion in an exhibit on book production in the Rosenbach rare book library in Philadelphia in 1980; and an alphabet he lettered in burnished gold and blue lapis lazuli on vellum for the Graphic Arts Collection of the Princeton University Library. Other passions included poetry, the transcendentalists, genealogy, history, anthropology, rare books, photography, and the furniture of George Nakashima. He was a prodigious correspondent who wrote letters with his distinctive, beautiful script, and he was known for his wit and sense of humor. Survived by his son David North Kinsey of Princeton, New Jersey; two grandsons, Rafe Hand Kinsey of New York City and Alex Hand Kinsey of Atlanta; daughter-in-law Susanne Hand of Princeton; and ten nieces and nephews, Kinsey was predeceased by his son Martin Townsend Kinsey in 2008 and his ex-wife Janet Elizabeth Townsend Roberts (Kinsey) in 2007. Kinsey donated his body to Temple University Medical School through the Human Gifts Registry of Philadelphia. The family will be holding a private service of remembrance.

Barbara Ann Long Carnevale Barbara Ann Long Carnevale, of Princeton, N.J., passed away on July 17, 2017 at Merwick Rehabilitation Center, Plainsboro, N.J., due to complications from a fall. Born in Glen Lyon, Pa., on January 6, 1932, she graduated from Nanticoke (Pa.) High School, class of 1949 and from the Western Union Business School. Following employment by American Airlines at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, Barbara arrived in Princeton in 1956 and was employed by Western Union at the busy Princeton location. After raising her three children, she worked as a real estate agent and as the office manager of the Aquinas Institute of Princeton University. Barbara later co-founded and operated the Princeton Consignment Boutique. Barbara was an active participant and member of the Princeton Public School Parent Teacher Association for many years, served on the board of the Princeton Borough’s Senior Citizen Committee and as Cub and Brownie Scout Den Mother. Barbara was an avid reader and history buff; quilting was a passion and Barbara was an active member of the Quilting Club. One of her best quilts was dedicated at a 9/11 memorial event in New York City and placed on display as a tribute to the fallen police and firefighters and in particular to a very close family friend, Fred Morrone, Director of the Port Authority Police, who was lost on that day. Barbara was predeceased by her parents Leonard Long and Emily Lewis Long Azack, her step-father, Fred Azack, and her sisters Marilyn Long and Janice Wortmann. She is survived by her husband, of 60 years, Michael, the retired Princeton Police Chief, and by sons Michael II and wife Marianne, Yale and wife Olga, all of Princeton; daughter Lynn O’Rourke; grandchildren Elizabeth, Michael III, Devin, Caroline and Luke; and many nieces and nephews.

Reuben Cohen Reuben Cohen, 95, passed away peacefully at his home on Me ad ow bro ok D r ive on July 23, 2017. A longtime Princeton resident, Reuben was a founder and former president of the research firm Response Analysis Corporation, a past president of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, and a past president of the Jewish Center of Princeton. A private man, known for his integrity and keen intellect, Reuben cared deeply about social justice and donated generously to progressive causes. Reuben was born on November 26, 1921, in Washington, D.C., where one of his first jobs was as a paperboy hawking newspapers at FDR’s inauguration. He received his BS and MA from American University. His studies were interrupted while serving in the US Army in World War II, followed by a civilian post at the Pentagon. In 1956, Reuben moved to Princeton to accept a position at Opinion Research Corporation. He later co-founded Response Analysis Corporation. Under contract to CBS in 1964, Reuben headed the groundbreaking team that ushered in the now standard practice of using exit polling to project the outcome of presidential elections during election night TV coverage. Well-recognized in his field, Reuben was called to testify before Congress as an expert in statistical sampling techniques. After retiring in 1986, Reuben spent time traveling, creating a Japanese garden, and cheering for the Washington Redskins. Reuben is survived by his wife of 41 years, Dawn Day; sons Steven (Pamela Blake) of Lumberville, Pa., Alan (Susan) of Princeton Junction, and Michael (Jutta Joesch) of Seattle; grandchil-

Warren Harry Anderson Warren Harry Anderson, 89, known to his friends as “Andy,” passed away after a long illness at his home in Princeton, on August 24, 2016. Born in Ironton, Minnesota on September 17, 1927, Andy received a federal appointment to Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy and subsequently graduated from the University of Minnesota, later earning an M.S. in Engineering from Stanford University. Andy served in the United States Navy Civil Engineer

Corps with tours including commanding officer of Mobile Construction Battalion 71 (Seabees) during the Vietnam War and overseas postings to the Philippines and Thailand. He was awarded the Legion of Merit and Bronze Star with Combat “V” among other military honors and retired after 24 years with the rank of Captain. He embarked on a second career as a partner at Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, a geotechnical engineering firm in New York City where he worked for 20 years. Andy was an enthusiastic and prodigious gardener of vegetables and flowers. Many friends and neighbors were grateful recipients of his bounty. When he wasn’t toiling in his garden, Andy could be found on the golf course at Bedens Brook Country Club. A devoted member of the Lawrenceville Presbyterian Church for nearly 40 years, he served as both a Trustee and Deacon. Andy is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Jacqueline, his brothers Carleton and John David, his son Warren, his daughter Eleanor and three grandsons. He will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery on August 18 at 2:15 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Lung Association (www. lung.org ) or the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (www. trentonsoupkitchen.org).

GET THE MOST FROM YOUR HOME INSPECTION Your home inspection provides you with essential information about what’s likely going to be your biggest purchase - your new home - so hiring an inspector is no place to skimp. Here’s what to look for to make sure you get the most from the inspection process:

•

Make sure your inspector is licensed. A license is kind of like a guarantee your inspector knows what he or she is doing. Specifically, look for one licensed by a state agency or by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).

•

Find out what’s included in the inspection and what’s not. New home have a pool? How about a fireplace? You might need a separate inspector or one who specializes in those features.

•

Ask for a sample report to see how comprehensive your report will be and how easy it is to understand. Ask if you can tag along. “Shadowing” your inspector can help you learn a lot about the home you’re considering - and all from a professional’s viewpoint.

Not sure how to find an inspector? Ask your agent. They know the professionals you can trust so you can feel confident in the process from start to finish.

MID - CENTURY MODERN STARTS HERE!! This special property is being offered for only the second time since it was built! Designed by Robert Geddes, then Dean of Princeton University’s Department of Architecture, we are proud to present the opportunity of a lifetime. Leading to the entrance, a bluestone path provides the foundation for a gracious approach to the enclosed courtyard, as it creates a tranquil, yet exciting, formal introduction to the house itself. The front door, flanked by two large window walls, sets the stage for the clever interplay between the exterior and interior spaces. Step into the 22 foot entry, and enjoy the burnished wood floors which provide the perfect foil for your artwork and furniture. Sleek as a seal, the formal living room and dining room are large enough to entertain any size group, yet are equally conducive to more intimate gatherings. Eat-in kitchen provides space for creating culinary delights, and meshes with the architectonic aspects of the house itself. Three bedrooms and two cleverly crafted baths complete the picture. But wait--- don’t miss the secret garden, which is a thing of beauty in itself. Large bluestone slabs accentuate mature plantings and latticework, creating a patio space that is simply glorious. Perfectly proportioned, and an obvious continuation of the interior of the house, this space might even be considered the jewel in the crown. Inside or outside, night or day, winter or summer ---here is a true architectural treasure right in the heart of Princeton. $1,125,000
