Work on the Carter Road bridge in Lawrence Township is still suspended as a result of Governor Chris Christie’s shut down order, and nobody is happy about it. Local business owners are suffering financial losses. Motorists are facing increasing delays and hazards as detoured traffic clogs area roads. Roadways not intended for heavy traffic, let alone large truck traffic, are rapidly deteriorating. And necessary repairs and reconstruction of two historic bridges on 206 can’t start until the Carter Road bridge is reopened, because Carter Road is part of the designated detour route for the 206 bridge work. “At this point,” said Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, “the Carter Road bridge project has been delayed so long that now the state has informed us that they won’t be repairing the 206 bridges until next spring.” Business owners are distraught. “It’s a big issue,” said Pam Mount, co-owner with her husband of Terhune Orchards on Cold Soil Road. “It’s such a problem and so unnecessary. People come from a distance to get here, and the signs on the detours don’t always tell them how to get back on the road, and they end up in Pennington or Hopewell and can’t get here. It’s a problem of public safety and economics. People need to get to work. People need to get here. Farmers are really hurting. Also there are enormous trucks coming down Cold Soil Road and tearing up the road. These back roads aren’t built to accommodate this traffic.” The bridge project was included in the governor’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 state 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 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. “We appealed the NJDOT decision to abandon Carter Road,” Mercer County executive Brian Hughes said, but the answer from the DOT, delivered last week by Scott Stephens, director of Community Continued on Page 12

PCDO Launches Campaign, Hosts State Headquarters The Princeton Community Democratic Organization’s (PCDO) Hillary Clinton for President Campaign is underway, with headquarters on the second floor at 138 Nassau Street, between Triumph Brewery and the MacLean Agency, and voter registration tables outside the Garden Theatre and on Hinds Plaza on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The PCDO announced Monday that the New Jersey State Democratic organization will be using Princeton’s headquarters and teaming with the local group to run the whole state campaign for Ms. Clinton. “They know how important Princeton is as a central location,” said Owen O’Donnell, Princeton PCDO president.

“Also, we’re an active community with a strong record of turning out the vote. They are aware of all this and see us providing a great opportunity for the Democratic Party.” Emphasizing the importance of mobilizing voters, PCDO treasurer David Cohen added, “The main thrust of the campaign effort is to reach out and get people registered to vote, then actually get out the vote as we get closer to election day.” He also mentioned that even long before election day, they will be urging people to take advantage of the opportunity to vote by mail. Mr. O’Donnell described a high level of engagement in the campaign so

far, with more than 500 people having signed up, expressing interest, and “many great volunteers” offering to help at the voter registration tables, by canvassing and on phone banks. “People are extremely interested in this campaign,” Mr. O’Donnell said. “They know that the stakes are very high.” In addition to the Clinton campaign, the PCDO will be lending support to other area races that are anticipated to be closer. “Since New Jersey is not considered a swing state,” Mr. Cohen explained, ”we’re often unhappy about the level of attention we obtain from national candidates.” The PCDO is planning to coordinate with Democrats in nearby Pennsylvania to support Continued on Page 8

Local Lawyer Will Manage Joint Campaign

MEANWHILE THERE’S THE LIBRARY BOOK STORE: While people are anxious to make use of the “reimagined second floor” at the Princeton Public Library, they are finding plenty of back-up resources, including the wide selection at the Friends of the Library Book Store. See this week’s Town Talk for how some library users are dealing with the situation. (Photo by Charles R. Plohn)

It would be an understatement to say that Dwaine Williamson, the recently announced chairman of the joint campaign for Princeton Council candidates Jenny Crumiller, Tim Quinn, and Mayor Liz Lempert, has been around. The Princeton resident, who serves on the town’s Planning Board, was born in Jamaica, raised in Trenton, worked on Wall Street, and made music videos for rap groups before becoming a lawyer and opening his own office back in Trenton. Between now and November, Mr. Williamson will balance his busy schedule of civil litigation with working to help reelect incumbents Ms. Crumiller and Ms. Lempert, and elect Mr. Quinn. (Former Princeton Borough mayor and Planning Board member Mildred Trotman is chairing Ms. Lempert’s individual campaign.) “Dwaine is a rising star,” Ms. Lempert said. “He’s got tremendous positive energy. He is somebody who wants to give back to the community for all the right reasons and I’m excited and grateful that he’s willing to help us out with the campaign.” Mr. Williamson was six years old when his family left Jamaica and settled in Trenton. “My aunt had met a tourist from Hightstown in Jamaica, and stayed in touch with this lady,” he said. “My aunt and her husband migrated to Hightstown and then Trenton. When we came around 1977, after stopping in Bermuda for a year and a half, we went straight to Trenton.” The capital city was, and continues to Continued on Page 14

On August 16, at 2:35 p.m., it was reported that sometime between 1 p.m. on August 15 and noon on August 16 someone burglarized an unlocked vehicle on the 100 block of Birch Street. Nothing was taken but the contents from the compartments were thrown about the vehicle. On August 18, at 5:42 p.m., police learned that sometime between August 16 and 18 someone forced entry to a home on Katie’s Pond Road. There was damage to an exterior and an interior door. At this time it does not appear that anything was taken from the home. On August 20, at 9:40 p.m., it was reported that someone burglarized a home on the 100 block of Edgerstoune Road. Forced entry was used to gain access to the first floor of the home; it is unknown at this time if anything was stolen. On August 20, at 9:12 a.m., police received word that sometime between 8 p.m. on August 19 and 9 a.m. on August 20 someone stole a 2011 Hyundai Sonata from a driveway on the first block of Dempsey Avenue. A second vehicle was entered and its contents were rifled through but nothing was taken. Both vehicles were unlocked and the spare key to the Hyundai was left in the vehicle, enabling the suspect to access the push start feature. On August 20, at 10:35 a.m., a 28-year-old male from Pennington was charged with DWI subsequent to a report of an intoxicated male in a parking lot on Mercer Street. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

A New Career and a Scholarship for Princeton Native and Former Model After living in New York, modeling for Donna Karan and other high-end designers, Princeton native Hope Mouko was ready to move back home and try something new. She had always been interested in jewelry and design. So when she noticed an ad last year for an opening at Hamilton

Jewelers on Nassau Street, she decided to apply for the position. It was a fortuitous move. Once hired, it didn’t take long for Ms. Mouko to realize she had found her new passion: gemology. To her delight, she recently won a scholarship to the prestigious Gemological Institute

of America, where she will study the science of gemstones while continuing to work as Hamilton’s Service Coordinator. “Initially, I just wanted to learn about jewelry and de-

sign,” said the soft-spoken Ms. Mouko, whose family has lived in Princeton for generations. “But I sat in on an appraisal one day, and I was just mystified by the science of gemology. I dove in headfirst — taking out books from the public library and our library here. I couldn’t get enough of it.” Hamilton Jewelers is paying for Ms. Mouko’s GIA education, which she estimates will take about two years to complete. “Here, they encourage education,” she said. “They want you to be knowledgeable.” The company’s president Hank Siegel serves on the GIA’s Board of Governors and considers it a key part of the industry. “The mission is

to protect consumer trust,” he said last week. “Many people purchasing a gem don’t really know that much about it, and this gives them peace of mind. It’s about education for gemologists.” GIA has trained more than 300,000 students since its founding in 1931. The organization has 19 locations in 14 countries, 12 campuses, nine laboratories, and four research centers. “GI A’s founder Robert M. Shipley had a tremendous impact on the world of gems,” said Hamilton v ice president Donna Bouchard. “He recognized the need for a comprehensive, international approach for understanding and evaluating gemstones. Without it, confusion and distrust would reign both at home and abroad.” Only about 15 are admitted to the GIA’s program each year. “I didn’t think I’d get it, but I decided to apply anyway,” Ms Mouko said. “I had to write a personal statement and get recommendations, one of which came from Samuel Hynes, who is a retired professor of English from Princeton University and a longtime friend of my family.” S om e ot h e r H a m i lton staffers are graduates of the GIA, and Ms. Mouko is looking forward to joining them. “With that degree, you can identify stones, their treatments, and characteristics, and can grade t hem as well,” she said. “You can speak with authority, and that gives customers more confidence.” A 2000 graduate of Princeton High School, Ms. Mouko has strong roots in Princeton and is happy to be back among family and friends. Her grandmother was the proprietor of Lily’s Beauty Salon on Quarr y Street. “I lived in New York City, did that whole thing. I love it here now, and I want to stay,” she said. As for Hamilton Jewelers, “There is so much room for growth here,” she added. “I would love to stay and do appraisals or help clients identify estate jewelry. I feel like I’m working here with family. That’s why I love it so much.” —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:

“Has the second floor construction affected your use of the Princeton Public Library?” (Photographs by Charles R. Plohn)

“No, it hasn’t. I typically come here to meet with students for tutoring sessions, and we usually meet on the third floor and make use of some of the public areas there.” —Abra Rummel, Princeton

“I think everything has been very well organized, and I don’t have any problems. The staff here is always very helpful with everything that I need.” —Cristina Hoyos, Princeton

“Yeah, slightly. I usually like to work there when I visit, but it’s not too bad. I’m looking forward to seeing the changes when it reopens.” —Andrew Chown, Princeton Junction

Camp Trent for Children At Historic Trent House

The Trent House Museum, New Jersey’s oldest national landmark, will celebrate the centennial of the National Park Service with Camp Trent on Saturday, August 27 from 1-3 p.m. The museum is at 15 Market Street in Trenton. Children can learn to make a trail mix, use a compass, write with invisible ink, find herbs in the museum garden, and more. All visitors will receive free tours of the Trent House Museum and free ice cream. Children will take home a free prize for completing all activities.

Recent news reports on police departments throughout the country may have been full of tension, violence, and controversy, but for 20 young area residents this week’s Princeton Youth Police Academy is providing a fun and exciting opportunity to learn about police work from the inside. Under the auspices of the Princeton Police Department (PPD), the Youth Academy, in its 11th year, is a program designed to provide these 6th, 7th, and 8th graders with firsthand knowledge of a police officer’s duties and responsibilities. Building self-confidence and discipline is also a key goal of the program. “It’s important that kids learn responsibility,” said Police Sergeant Fred Williams, former U.S. Marines drill instructor, following an opening session in which the middle school recruits learned the rudiments of marching and following instructions. “They need to learn the values that will serve them the rest of their lives. As they interact with people in all walks of life, they will need these tools.” The Youth Police Academy may lead students to pursue careers in police and criminal justice work, but “It’s not necessarily about becoming a police officer,” Mr. Williams added. “It’s about leadership values that allow you to conduct yourself as a responsible adult.” The 20 young men and wom e n, a lon g w it h s i x

recent alumni of the program who serve as counselors, are meeting at police headquarters on Witherspoon Street from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. ever y day this week for classroom activities, handson techniques, and police demonstrations; including car accident investigations, crime scene investigations, a K-9 demonstration, a visit and demonstration from a state police helicopter, arrest procedures, motor vehicle stops, building searches, fire safety, first aid, and more. Sgt. Chris Tash, another one of the Academy instructors, noted two central goals of the program. “We want to let the kids see what it’s like to be a police officer, what we go through each day; and if kids are interested we want to encourage them to pursue this as a career.” Andrew Nagle, currently a junior at Rutgers majoring in criminal justice, has been involved with Princeton Youth Academy since he was in the sixth grade — three years as a student, then six years as a counselor through high school and the first years of college, and now an intern with the PPD. “It has been a great way to get involved, to get to know the officers and to help out in the community,” said Mr. Nagle, who lives in Princeton and serves as an EMT with the Princeton First Aid Squad. Mr. Nagle explained his interest in a career in police work, “It’s been a dream for

me since I was a little kid. I like to be able to help others who need it. I like being out with the community on the street or on the road.” And in these particularly difficult, tense times for police officers, Mr. Nagle praised the professionalism of the PPD and observed, “I like the whole community policing aspect of the job, and I’m optimistic that I can make a difference, continuing what these guys are doing, putting a friendly face on law enforcement.” The Princeton Police Department expressed its hope that the Youth Police Academy will both educate the participants and create a stronger bond between the police officers and the youth of the community. —Donald Gilpin

Library Hosts Walks, Talks During Wilderness Month

In recognition of National Wilderness Month, Princeton Public Library is providing two opportunities in September to spend time walking through local green spaces while discussing two engaging readings about nature, wildness, and wilderness. On Saturday, September 10 at 11 a.m., David LaMotte, former Chair of English at Princeton Day School, leads a walk and discussion of Gary Snyder’s The Practice of the Wild at the St. Michael’s Preserve trailhead on Princeton Avenue in Hopewell. For nearly 60 years, Snyder — Beat poet,

“FORWARD MARCH”: Police Sergeant Fred Williams, former U.S. Marines drill instructor, welcomes the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students participating in Princeton’s week-long Youth Police Academy, which will include classroom activities, hands-on techniques, and police demonstrations. (Photo by Donald Gilpin) Zen Buddhist, and “naturalist of [his] own species” — has been writing poems and essays that challenge us to ground ourselves in wildness and in the watersheds where we live and walk. This discussion will explore Snyder’s idea of practicing wildness, particularly as it applies to our local watershed. On Saturday, September 24 at 11 a.m., Liz Cutler, sustainability coordinator and longtime English teacher of nature and literature at Princeton Day School, will lead a walk followed by a discussion of Edward Abbey’s book of essays Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness. The book is based on his time as a park ranger in Arches National Monument in Utah and explores the relationship between wilderness and civilization. The discussion will explore Abbey’s idea that

“we need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it.” Special focus will be on his essay “Down the River.” The walk and discussion will be in the Institute Woods, and participants will meet at the Quaker Friends Meeting House on Mercer Street in Princeton. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lawn chair. For more infor mation, call (609) 924-9529 or visit www.princetonlibrary.org. ———

PCDO volunteers, according to Mr. O’Donnell, will be making canvassing trips to Pennsylvania to help turn out the vote and also to northern New Jersey’s fifth district, where former Bill Clinton White House speech

writer Josh Gottheimer is in a close Congressional race against incumbent E. Scott Garrett. Mr. O’Donnell and Mr. Cohen are both pleased with the new headquarters that they will now be sharing with the state organization. “It’s a terrific space,” Mr. O’Donnell said, “with plenty of room to accommodate state headquarters as well as our own operation.” PCDO headquarters will also be distributing campaign paraphernalia including bumper

stickers, buttons, yard signs and maybe T-shirts, all at affordable prices, according to Mr. Cohen. Mr. O’Donnell commented that, as part of the overall effort, he was also looking forward to supporting Democrats Jenny Crumiller and Tim Quinn in their campaigns for Princeton Council and Liz Lempert in her mayoral re-election effort. The grand opening of the campaign, now in its final planning stages, will take

place on either the 8th or 10th of September, with details soon to be announced. Urging people to drop by PCDO headquarters once it’s up and running, Mr. O’Donnell offered a final reminder, “Be sure you vote in November. It’s very important.” —Donald Gilpin

Evergreen Forum Provides Stimulating Daytime Study, Discussion Programs for Adults in Princeton Area

To the Editor: Evergreen Forum (EF), a program of the Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC), is thriving. Course offerings just get more interesting (and numerous), and participant numbers keep rising. Well into its second decade, the Forum provides stimulating daytime study and discussion programs for adults living in the greater Princeton area. It encourages active participation for those who enjoy learning for its own sake. Course leaders are drawn from teachers and other professionals devoted to their subject and wishing to share their enthusiasm. “Some of the ideas in this class may boggle the mind,” warns Evergreen Forum instructor Stuart Kurtz as he describes his upcoming course, What is Time? An Overview. “Time” is among the 24 courses being offered this fall by EF. Most courses, which begin at the end of September, meet once a week for two hours for six to eight weeks. Many classes are held at EF’s home base, the Princeton Senior Resource Center at the Suzanne Patterson Building, 45 Stockton Street, Princeton; others will take place at convenient nearby locations. Course descriptions and registration details may be found online at www.theevergreenforum.org, as well as in print brochures available at PSRC and area libraries and churches.

Council Was Scared Away From Suggested Improvements To Tree Ordinance By Imaginary Worst-Case Scenarios

To the Editor: I’d like to offer some corrections to an August 10 front page article about proposed revisions to Princeton’s tree ordinance [“More Discussion Due On Tree Ordinance at next Council Meeting”]. I write as a botanist and former member of the Shade Tree Commission (STC) that generated the proposal. At the council meeting, ash trees were not characterized as invasive, and the arborist referred to one that might be attacked by the notorious Emerald Ash Borer in 10 years, not 30. The proposed changes would make it much more expensive for homeowners to remove healthy, mature trees. The primary aim is to discourage, or at least compensate for, the clearcutting associated with Princeton’s epidemic of teardowns. Replacing a house on a small lot typically means removing all trees, since even trees beyond the new building’s (larger) footprint will be damaged by construction activity. The increased fees — $400 for roughly every 9” of girth, up to $1600 per tree — would provide funds for new plantings to compensate for the lost trees. There’s clear public benefit here, but the new fees or replacement obligations will also fall on homeowners who may have valid reasons to remove a tree. The proposed changes penalize removal of our two most common invasive trees: norway Maples, which compete with native species, and the Ailanthus (Tree of Heaven) whose allelopathic root exudates interfere with gardening. The ordinance also penalizes homeowners who wish to install solar panels, grow a vegetable garden or plant wildflowers to feed pollinators. Shade is a wonderful thing, but creating an opening for beneficial plants not blessed with xylem should not be penalized. Inflexibility is further evident in the decision to levy the fees on homeowners wishing to proactively remove ash

Child With Congenital Heart Defect, Parents Taking Part In Central New Jersey Heart Walk

To the Editor: As parents, few things are scarier than finding out something is wrong with your baby, but that’s the news we received six years ago before our daughter, Evalyn, was born. It was then that we found out Evalyn had a congenital heart defect. Many people believe heart disease only affects the elderly. Yet by age two, Evalyn had undergone two open heart surgeries, three cardiac catheterizations, a stent placement and countless other tests and procedures. While the journey is sometimes difficult, Evalyn is doing well thanks to breakthrough research funded by organizations, such as the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. But the need for more research is unquestionable. In the U.S., nearly 40,000 children are born with a heart defect

each year. Many congenital heart defects are diagnosed in infancy and some, like Evalyn’s, can be detected prenatally. After diagnosis, there are medical treatments available to help the heart perform its best. This year, Evalyn and our family will share our journey at the Central new Jersey Heart Walk. For the past four years, we have walked with the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to raise funds and awareness for the nation’s no. 1 and no. 5 killers, heart disease and stroke. It is our hope that one day no family will need to learn their child has a heart condition.

Hoping That the Remover of a Bernie Sign Was Only Looking for a Souvenir

To the Editor: Today someone removed the “Bernie for President” sign from my lawn. I would like to think it was an impoverished Bernie supporter who couldn’t resist a souvenir. I prefer that to the idea that it was a supporter of one of the other candidates. I believe in tolerance of others’ political choices, although I enjoy discussions of why those choices were made. let’s have some respect for differing opinions. EIlEEn BIRD Moran Avenue

trees. Trying to defend the STC’s proposal, the arborist claimed that a healthy ash tree “might” succumb to Emerald Ash Borer in 10 years. There’s no “might” about it. Barring a miracle, every untreated mature ash will succumb. In fact, penalizing proactive removal ignores the warnings of STC’s own Community Forestry Management Plan, which states: “An underlying concern is that municipal employees and private contractors may not be able to keep up with the demand for removal of dead and dying hazardous ash trees.” Council was scared away from suggested improvements to the proposal by imaginary worst-case scenarios, misleading “slippery slope” arguments, and unnecessary appeals to emotion, as when native plant advocates were characterized as fanatics ready to “wipe out” people’s perennial beds. The rigidity of the proposed changes, their focus on penalties rather than incentives, and their dependence on expensive nursery trees rather than selectively nurturing the “free forest” of volunteer trees that sprout in people’s yards, deprives the arborist of adequate enforcement flexibility. large trees provide shade, cooling, habitat, but they also interfere with other social and ecological goods: solar panels, orchards, gardens. Surprisingly, Princeton’s Historic Preservation and Environmental commissions were not asked to comment on the proposed changes. The STC’s important defense of trees needs to be tempered by awareness of other sustainability goals. (Public comment continues at council’s September 12 meeting.)

and Constituent Relations, was “no.” The work stoppage will continue. “Executive order 2010 remains in effect, and no projects are set to be re-started at this time,” Mr. Stephens wrote in his response. “I’m hoping that someone will come up with a reasonable resolution in the near future,” Mr. Hughes said. “The governor and the legislature seem to be playing chicken with each other and we don’t know what the outcome will be.” “The Count y has been very helpful,” Ms. Mount said. “They’re trying to get this done before the fall. It’s absolutely stalled for a political reason. I’m incredibly disappointed. The DOT has money in the bank. They don’t have to have a new tax. This is an emergency.” At K a l e’s N u r s e r y on Carter Road, sales at the garden center are down 35 percent since the April 18 bridge closure, according to owner and CEO Doug Kale. “The bridge project has been terrible for us and terrible for other businesses,” he said. “We had prepared for a healthy spring in retail sales, and suddenly the spigot turned off. They were supposed to close the bridge in June, then the signs suddenly went up for an April closure and the DOT didn’t inform businesses.” Though Kale’s landscaping business has been less severely affected than the garden center, “that 35 percent is a big bite to take,” Mr. Kale stated.

Weighing in last week in a Town Topics letter to the editor, Cherry Grove Farm general manager and owner Oliver Hamill emphasized the loss of thousands of dollars so far. “Our store revenue is down,” he wrote, “and by the looks of it the fall season will only be worse. Shoppers just cannot get there due to the bridge closing and other stoppages in the Princeton area. My neighbors running small vital businesses producing locally grown foods so important to our shoppers have told me that sales are way off compared to 2015.” Ms. Mount urged the DOT to grant the county the exemption necessary to resume construction, commenting “We’ve all called and lobbied and written letters. There’s a total groundswell of people trying to figure out how to get these projects on track.” Mr. Hughes concluded, “When the state is leaving federal money on the table because people are afraid to act reasonably, it’s not government as it should be. That’s for sure.” —Donald Gilpin ———

be, “interesting,” Mr. Williamson said. “It had its problems — a lot of interesting issues to deal with growing up. In the community around us, there were a lot of good people, and a lot who were not so nice.” Despite the city’s challenges, Mr. Williamson managed to thrive at Trenton Central High School. He was an honor student who played soccer and ran track, was an ROTC executive officer, an exchange student in Turkey, and president of the International Club. His impressive record won him admission to Georgetown University in Washington. The first in his immediate family to go to college, he graduated in 1993 with a degree in International Politics. While at Georgetown, he had the opportunity to work as an intern for Merrill Lynch. Landing a job on Wall Street after graduation was a natural progression, he said. “I did marketing, and then became a broker. After that, I tried to do an Internet company, doing independent music and films. We made some music videos for rap groups. Unfortunately, I did it with my own money but

I couldn’t raise the venture capital I really needed.” Mr. Williamson went back to Wall Street to work as a broker for Salomon Smith Barney. “To be candid, I enjoyed some aspects of it — but not the sales aspect,” he recalled. “I had really wanted to go to law school straight from college, but Merrill Lynch gave me the opportunity and I got kind of mesmerized. I mean, they picked me up in a limo, I stayed at The Nassau Inn. For a kid who grew up in Trenton, that looked pretty good.” After 9-11, Mr. Williamson enrolled at Rutgers Law School in Newark. “I said, I have one life to live and this is what I want to do. I did the evening program and worked a full time job at the same time, finishing in 2007.” With his wife Trina, a Trenton public school teacher whom he met while both were students at Trenton High, Mr. Williamson moved to Princeton in 1998. The couple, who have three children, settled at Griggs Farm. They became friends with neighbors, former Princeton Township Mayor Michele Tuck Ponder and Ronald Ponder, and he and

Mr. Ponder started a law firm together in West Windsor. After a few years, Mr. Williamson began doing criminal defense work, and opened his own office on Trenton’s South Broad Street in 2010. He now focuses on civil litigation and personal injury cases, referring criminal cases to others. “It’s good to be working in the city where I grew up. I knew a lot of people here, and I feel like I’m helping as much as I can,” he said. “But it’s tough.” Entering public service in Princeton made sense. Mr. Williamson began attending Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) events and is currently a second vice president for the PCDO as well as a committeeman for the Princeton Municipal Committee. He fully intends to run for public office at some point. In the meantime, Mr. Williamson is focused on the election campaigns of Ms. Lempert, Ms. Crumiller, and Mr. Quinn. “Public service is the term for them,” he said. “These are great-thinking people who analyze and come up with the best solutions. Just to be counted among them is an honor for me. I’m an idealist and I consider myself a true American patriot. I got my U.S. citizenship in 1994, and I’m very aware of our history. I want to make the Princeton community a better place.” —Anne Levin

NANJING RADIO AND TV GROUP VISTS PEARL S. BUCK HOUSE: The Nanjing Radio and Television director and crew arrived at Pearl S. Buck International for a two-day stay to film a documentary about the author Pearl S. Buck. Director Wu Jiang, joined by a colleague from Jiangsu 2nd Normal University, interviewed experts and scholars at The Pearl S. Buck House in Bucks County, a National Historic Landmark. The documentary will be featured on China Central Television (CCTV). Buck spent her first 40 years in China and upon return to the U.S. in 1934, worked tirelessly as a cultural ambassador between the United States and China, fundraising and rallying supporters to advance the 1943 repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 which suspended Chinese immigration to the United States.

Books Book Presentation Marks Windrows Resident’s 100th

At a reception in honor of her 100th birthday, the first copy of the book Reminiscences: My 100 Years will be presented to Dorothy Louise Gadberry Irwin Hemphill. The reception will be held at 3 p.m. on August 26 at Princeton Windrows. Mrs. Hemphill was born in Carthage, Missouri on August 26, 1916. In 1937

she married Arnold Irwin and they lived together in Joplin, Missouri until his death in 1959. In 1973 she married Morris Hemphill and they lived in Webb City and Carthage, Missouri until his death in 1994. After his death she moved to Oneida and later Syracuse, New York to be near her daughter, Joyce Irwin. In 2012, she moved with her daughter and son-in-law to Princeton Windrows. When at Windrows, she joined a group called “Reminiscences on paper.” Participants wrote short pieces relating anecdotes from their

P R I S M S!

lives and read them to the other members of the group. To celebrate her 100th birthday, her son and daughter have assembled the stories and searched the family archives to find pictures to illustrate each one. The book was printed in the Netherlands, where her son currently resides. In addition to the residents of Princeton Windrows, the reception will be attended by many members of Mrs. Hemphill’s extended family from the Netherlands, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Montana, Kansas, Oklahoma, New York and New Jersey.

W hen Dav id Mc A lpi n, Princeton Class of 1920, donated more than 500 fine-art photographs to the Princeton Universit y Ar t Museum ( PUAM ) in 1971 — in an age when photography was still considered a reproductive medium — it became one of the earliest museums to commit to photography as an art form. In addition to these gifts of art, McAlpin endowed an acquisitions fund at the museum as well as a professorship in the history of photography at Princeton — the first in the nation. In his lifetime, McAlpin amassed one of the century’s most significant collections of American photography, anchored by an unparalleled suite of prints purchased directly from

American masters of the medium. His gift to the museum in 1971 included exceptional works by acclaimed historical photographers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Francis Frith and Heinrich Kühn, as well as works by those artists whom McAlpin had befriended and known over the decades, including Ansel Adams, Georgia O’Keeffe, Eliot Porter, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, and Minor White. To mark the 45th anniversary of his remarkable philanthropy — and to recognize McAlpin’s pioneering legacy as a collector and a key figure in the establishment of the study of photography in the museum and in the academy — the Princeton University Art Museum

Additionally, the installation will feature correspondence bet ween the collector and the artists whose work he most favored, recently donated by David McAlpin Jr., Princeton Class of 1950. “David McAlpin’s gift to the Princeton University Art Museum instantly put the institution on the map as a leader in the emerging field of photography,” said James Steward, Nancy A.

of 1976, director. “This anniversary provokes us to remember the profound vision of these innovative imagemakers, the wonder of the photographic medium, and the powerful role of a single visionary collector.” An investment banker for most of his career, David McAlpin (1897–1989) was also a trustee of Princeton Universit y, an officer at many philanthropic organizations and a committed conservationist. It was his championing of photography, however, that set him apart. In 1978 photographer Ansel Adams stated, “No one has done more for photography in this country than David McAlpin.” McAlpin’s lifelong interest in photography coalesced in the 1930s, when he visited An American Place, the Manhattan gallery overseen by the photographer and impresario Alfred Stieglitz. McAlpin soon became acquainted with many prominent artists, including Ansel Adams, Georgia O’Keeffe, Eliot Porter, Charles Sheeler, and Edward Weston. While McAlpin collected broadly across subjects, from portraiture to still life, his passion for landscape images is borne out by his pursuit of photographs by Adams and Weston, the two artists who emerge as the anchors of the McAlpin collection and of the present exhibition. Ansel Adams to Edward Weston: Celebrating the Legacy of David H. McAlpin has been made possible by support from the Bagley Wright, Class of 1946, Contemporary Art Fund, with additional support from the Partners and Friends of the Princeton University Art Museum. The Princeton University Art Museum is located in the heart of the Princeton campus, a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Nassau Street. Admission is free. Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and major holidays. ———

RECORD REVIEW

Charlie Christian and Wardell Gray: “The Real Secret of the Game Is To Make Life Swing”

“N

egro American style” is defined by novelist Ralph Ellison as “the sudden turns, shocks, and swift changes of pace (all jazz-shaped) that serve to remind us that the world is ever unexplored and that while a complete mastery of life is mere illusion, the real secret of the game is to make life swing.” For anyone looking to make life swing in this hot, heavy summer I recommend the elixir of Christian and Gray. While the joy and energy may be coming from long ago and far away, the message delivered by the electric guitar of Charlie Christian and the tenor sax of Wardell Gray is that the music of life plays on in spite of deranged demagogues, poverty and misery, mass shootings, and terrorist attacks. Achieving renown in the early and mid1940s, each as a featured soloist with Benny Goodman, Charlie and Wardell are so alike in the force and clarity of their playing they might be two poets writing the same poem, composing on the spot, making free translations of one another’s verses, the guitarist’s line moving along as if in the same metre as the saxophonist’s, brave, joyous, unstoppable, irresistible. Deep Deuce The story begins a hundred years ago in Oklahoma City around the time municipal officials passed an ordinance confining black families to a neighborhood along 2nd Street that came to be known as Deep Deuce and was home to both Christian (1916-1942) and Gray (1921-1955). As the dates indicate, 2016 marks the guitarist’s 100th birthday and the tenor’s 95th. Christian died at 25 from TB, Gray at 34 after a drug-related misadventure. In his collection of jazz writings, Living With Music, another Oklahoma City native, Ralph Ellison (1913-1994), recalls how Lester Young’s arrival in Deep Deuce left “absolutely no reed player and few young players of any instrument unstirred by the wild, excitingly original flights of his imagination.” Though Gray was only 8 at the time and Christian 13, both were definitively influenced by Young. A decade later Gray had memorized his solos and Christian was playing with him in sessions with the Goodman Sextet. Although Gray moved to Detroit with his family when he was nine, he’d have been exposed to the heady musical environment of Deep Deuce, in particular the Christian family, which included a blind father who played guitar and sang and two brothers who played violin and guitar while Charlie was spending his time in the manualtraining department of Douglass School “constructing guitars from cigar boxes,” instruments on which he was, in Ellison’s words, “dazzlingly adept.” Charlie also accompanied his father and brothers strolling through the white middleclass sections of Oklahoma City, earning money playing serenades on request. By the 1920s, Deep Deuce had become a self-sufficient black community with a thriving entertainment industry, including the Aldridge Theatre, Slaughter’s

Hall, and Ruby’s Dance Hall and Grill. Ellison remembers singer Jimmy Rushing as “the natural herald” of the neighborhood’s “blues-romance, his song the singing essence of its joy.” Although they were “pushed off to what seemed to be the least desirable side of the city … there was an optimism within the Negro community and a sense of possibility which, despite our awareness of limitation (dramatized so brutally in the Tulsa riot of 1921), transcended all of this, and it was this rockbottom sense of reality, coupled with our sense of the possibility of rising above it, which sounded in Rushing’s voice.” “Limitation” seems an odd choice of words for what happened in Tulsa when 300 people died and an entire black community was burned to the ground, or for the white-mandated res t r ic t ion to t he “least desirable area” of Oklahoma Cit y where, Ellison suggests, the unsanitary con d it ion s s e a le d Charlie Christian’s fate: “the wooden tenement” he grew up in being “full of poverty, crime and sick ness …” — it was “doubtless here that he developed the tuberculosis from which he died.” A lifetime dealing with the effects of “limitation” also infected and brought down Wardell Gray. With all his gifts, his intelligence, his humanity, his interest in art and music and literature and the world beyond jazz, his love for his family and his wife, with everything he had going for him, it wasn’t enough to save him from death in the desert outside Jim Crow Las Vegas, his body dumped in a ditch. The Man I Love One of the first long-playing records I ever bought was Charlie Christian Jazz Immortal, which contained two numbers, “Swing to Bop” and “Stompin’ at the Savoy,” each one a side-long cut from a jam session in May 1941 at Minton’s Playhouse recorded by a Jerry Newman, a Horace Mann classmate and pal of Jack Kerouac’s. This being in the days before rock and roll, I had no compelling interest in the electric guitar, but Christian’s playing was addictive. I lived with it, moved with it, did homework to it. While I’d known Wardell Gray from his playing on Norman Granz’s Jam Session albums and the famous tenor duels with Dexter Gordon, it wasn’t until the late 1990s that I really began to appreci-

ate him, the revelation coming with his unforgettable reimagining of Gershwin’s “The Man I Love,” a fitting title because that’s when the romance began. I’d say “one-way romance,” except that the more I hear of his music, the more he enriches my life. The closest I came to the man was in June 2003 when his wife Dorothy called me long-distance from Los Angeles after reading my article about him in the Village Voice. “You brought him back to me,” she said. I bring him back by playing his music, which I make a point of doing every February 13, the day he was born, and every May 25, the night he died. “Distancing” and “Limitation” Ralph Ellison was 38 when Invisible Man astonished the literary world, winning the National Book Award on its way to becoming a 20th-century classic. Whether or not the daunting magnitude of his success was to blame, he struggled for the next 42 years to produce a second n ov e l, p u b l i s h i n g only excerpts while he was alive. There was a posthumous book-length condensation, Juneteenth, i n 19 9 9, a n d i n 2010, 16 years after his death, the 1,100 u n f i n is h e d m a nu script, Three Days Before the Shooting. His biographer Arnold Rampersad thinks that Ellison’s “inability to create an art that held a clean mirror up to ‘Negro’ [ Ellison’s preferred term] life as blacks actually led it, especially at or near his own social level, was disabling him as a writer. As a novelist, he had lost his way. And he had done so in proportion to his distancing himself from his fellow blacks.” While I don’t mean to be parsing the language of the author of one of the most powerful novels I ever read, the word “distancing” reminds me of Ellison’s use of that bloodless, ineffectual term “limitation” to convey the bondage of segregation. Of course Invisible Man is itself a massive indictment of the American madness of racism, as is his savage story, “A Party Down at the Square,” which is told from the point of view of a callous, clueless white youth witnessing a lynching. Gray and Obama Wardell Gray was tall, thin, handsome, and light-skinned, like Barack Obama, whose presidency has exposed the same

American madness that is even now energizing the presidential campaign of the man who only a few years ago was beating the “birther” drum. The hyperbole of “high-tech lynching,” the term used by Supreme Court Justice nominee Clarence Thomas during the Senate hearings, is more applicable to what’s been going on ever since Obama took office. The Lynching That Never Happened It’s likely that Gray knew about the Memorial Day 1921 race war in Tulsa, if only because he’d been born a mere three months earlier in Oklahoma City. It’s also possible that he discussed the event with his fellow sideman, trumpet player Howard McGhee, on the historic “Relaxin at Camarillo” session with Charlie Parker in 1947. Born in Tulsa in 1918, McGhee was presumably living in Greenwood at the time, the Negro neighborhood savaged by an army of whites committing a massacre that amounted to spontaneous local genocide. The appalling details can be found online. The attack, carried out on the ground and by air, destroyed more than 35 blocks of the district. Along with the death toll of 300, an estimated 10,000 people were made homeless, and 1,256 homes and 191 businesses destroyed by fire, as well as the community’s churches, junior high school, and hospitals. rom what we know, all that death and destruction happened because a 19-year-old black named Dick Rowland accidentally jostled a 17-yearold white female elevator operator named Sarah Page in a building in downtown Tulsa. She screamed, someone heard her, saw the black man running, and Rowland was arrested the next day. A local newspaper played up the incident with a headline, “To Lynch Negro Tonight,” that attracted a white mob and a group of armed blacks who came to defend Rowland. Outnumbered and outgunned, the blacks retreated to Greenwood, and so it began. The case against Rowland was dismissed in September 1921 when the girl sent a letter to the county attorney saying she did not wish to press charges. Rowland left town, headed, it was said, to Kansas City. He called himself Diamond Dick. The rest of his history is unknown, though not necessarily for all time, given the ingenious ways of the internet. Is there a moral to the story of Diamond Dick, whose almost-lynching set off a race war? Or is it like looking for a moral in one of Wardell Gray’s long, swinging solos or in one of Charlie Christian’s? Songs and novels have been and will be written, but the idea of the man walking away from it all, a lone figure with a survivor’s swagger, makes me think of Ellison’s words about Negro American style, where “the world is ever unexplored” and “the real secret of the game is to make life swing.” Or Jack Kerouac’s line from Visions of Cody about a kid “who stood slumped with his horn and blew like Wardell … and we all stumbled out into raggedy American realities from the dream of jazz.” —Stuart Mitchner

Remake of Classic Revisits Biblical Themes and the Chariot Race

Vampire Hunter), Ben Hur stars Jack Huston as the title character, although he is overshadowed by the film’s narrator, Morgan Freeman, who portrays Ilderiim, a wealthy Nubian sheik. The story is set in Jerusalem in the time of Christ (Rodrigo Santoro). As the the film opens, we find Prince Judah Ben Hur living with his mother (Ayelet Zurer), sister Tirzah (Sofia Black D’Elia), and adopted brother Messala Severus (Toby Kebbell), an orphan taken in as a child by the family. Judah also has a love interest, Esther (Nazanin Boniadi), although her lowly slave status makes their marriage unlikely. The plot thickens when the fully grown Messala, by then a Roman soldier, unfairly accuses the Ben Hur family of an act of treason that was perpetrated by Gestas (Moises Arias), one of the thieves crucified on Calvary alongside Jesus. As a result, the family is separated and sold into slavery, and Judah ends up in chains, rowing in the galley of a warship. He eventually gains his freedom, and starts searching for his mother and his sister Esther. Concurrently, he finds religion and is afforded an opportunity to even the score with Massala in a chariot race at the Circus Maximus. Fortunately, Ben Hur has wily Ilderim in his corner, who is the best horse whisperer /charioteer trainer. In spite of the distracting mob scenes and religious sermonizing, Ben Hur 2016 is nevertheless an entertaining variation on the original that’s well worth seeing. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for violence and disturbing images. Running time: 124 minutes. Distributor: Paramount IF I WIN THIS RACE THEN YOU WILL ADMIT YOU WRONGLY ACCUSED OUR FAMILY: Ben Hur (Jack Pictures. Huston, right) races against his treacherous adopted brother Messala Severus (Toby Kebbell) —Kam Williams who years earlier falsely accused his adopted family of treason against the Romans.

t takes a lot of self confidence to remake the Hollywood epic that won the most Academy Awards in history. But that’s just what we have in Ben Hur, a fairly faithful version of the 1959 classic that starred Charlton Heston. The films are based on Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, a novel published in 1880, that quickly surpassed Uncle Tom’s Cabin as the best-selling American novel at the time. The book’s author, Lew Wallace, was a Civil War general who had led Union soldiers at the battle of Shiloh. His inspirational tale of redemption’s timely themes of family, freedom, and patriotism helped unify a country torn asunder by years of war and the Reconstruction. Its compassionate tone particularly appealed to Southerners because of its sympathetic treatment of slave owners that encouraged resolution by reconciliation instead of revenge.

Appetizing Variety of Italian Specialties At Gennaro’s Italian Market & Catering

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 G en naro’s ow n recip e s. 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 mayon nais e ; “Paler mo”, 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, G ennaro’s offers a variety of breads, such as rosemar y, 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 w it h 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

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. 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 notfor - p r of i t or g a n i z at i o n , which raises 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 pr iced, w ith sandw iches 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.

Turning the Page After Ivy Title Campaign Last Fall, PU Women’s Soccer Fired Up to Start 2016 Season

s Sean Driscoll took the helm of the P r i n c e t o n U n i v e rsity women’s soccer team last fall, he could not have scripted a much better debut season. After starting 2-3, the Tigers caught fire, going 12-11 the rest of the way, roaring to an Ivy League title with a 6-0-1 record in conference play and defeating Boston College 4-2 in the first round of the NCAA tournament before falling 3-0 to Southern Cal in a second round contest. While Driscoll is proud of what the Tigers accomplished last season, he wants his players to put 2015 in the rear view mirror. “We have also discussed with the team about not talking about last year; last year was last year,” said Driscoll, whose team starts its 2016 campaign by hosting Fordham on August 26 and Villanova on August 28. “It is a different team, it is a different season. The mood is positive, the kids are excited to get back and play again. What we did last year was great. It was unexpected by many but we had a lot of confidence amongst ourselves. Ultimately, you never know what is going to transpire. There are so many moving parts. Last year worked out well for a couple of reasons. We didn’t have any major injuries and our chemistry was incredible; I think those were huge factors for us.” Another huge factor in Princeton’s success last season was the production it got from senior Tyler Lussi (15 goals and five assists in 2015), the Ivy Player of the Year last season, and sophomore Mimi Asom (12 goals, 4 assists), the Ivy Rookie of the Year.

“They showed their worth last year and their quality, they both went on to play for the U.S. U-23 and U-20 teams in the off season so they were rewarded for all of their success during the fall,” said Driscoll. “They are both extremely gifted players, they balance each other very well, they work well off of each other so it is a good combination to have. We also have other players on our roster that we will be able to spell between our upperclassmen and talented freshmen.” Driscoll is expecting Lussi and Asom to provide even higher quality play this fall. “Tyler is as diligent as they come, she is extremely focused; she is the hardest working forward I have coached in my career,” asserted Driscoll. “She gives you great energy at both ends of the field and on top of that she runs as hard and as fast in the 90th minute as she does in the first. Mimi continues to be as talented of a back to the goal player that I have worked with. She is very good at using her body and she has a tremendous burst of speed. They balance each other out; Mimi plays with her back to the goal and Tyler is more of a slashing attacker. It is a really good one-two punch.” In the midfield, senior Nicole Loncar (1 goal, 3 assists) and junior Vanessa Gregoire (4 goals, 8 assists), a first-team All-Ivy choice in 2015, figure to give the Tigers some punch. “Nicole looks tremendous, she was off the charts on the fitness test,” said Drsicoll. “She is just very fresh, she spent a lot of time working out this summer with our strength and conditioning coach. She is very

confident. Vanessa is doing well, she has a lot of tricks in her bag. She is a very cerebral player; she is a very high IQ soccer player. They both are and that is beneficial to the team.” Versatile junior standout Natalie Larkin can be a force in the midfield or the back line for the Tigers. “Natalie played out wide in the midfield and she will also play in the back as well, depending on who we are playing against,” said Driscoll of Larkin who tallied five goals and three assists last fall in earning second-team All Ivy honors. “She can step up and she is very much an attacking wide back so it changes our complexion and attacking abilities when she plays in the back. She gives us another player higher up the field. It creates a lot of havoc when you have a wide back like that.” Senior midfielder/defender Jesse McDonough (1 goal, 7 assists) is another key twoway performer who can be deployed all over the pitch. “Jess is an incredible athlete and the most versatile player on the team,” asserted Driscoll. “She played wide mid, wide back, and center mid last year and will be used across the back line this season and, if need be, against certain opponents, she could be used in the midfield.” Acknowledging that the defense is a work in progress, Driscoll is welcoming back three veterans: junior Mikaela Symanovich, senior Haley Chow, and junior Katie Pratt-Thompson, who each gained extensive experience on the back line last fall. In goal, Princeton returns senior Hannah Winner, who had 17 starts in 2105 with

a goals against average of 1.23, along with junior Gudrun Valdis Jonsdottir, and Noelani Kong-Johnson, and adds freshmen Natalie Grossi and Kelli Calhoun. “All five goalkeepers are being evaluated,” said Driscoll. “Hannah had a tremendous season last year and the team trusts her. One of the most noticeable differences has been the impact the goalkeepers have had on training so far. They are all pushing each other and, as a result, putting more pressure on the attacking players to find ways to beat them. It’s a very competitive and exciting atmosphere. Like every other position, we are taking inventory of all players and giving everybody a fair shake.” As Driscoll goes through his second preseason camp guiding the Tigers, he feels everybody is on the same page. “I think they feel more comfortable with us as a staff,” said Driscoll. “I think they understand the expectations as far as fitness levels, work rate, and attitude, on and off the field. There are a lot more players, a lot more bodies this year. We have 28 kids instead of the 23 that we had last year.” In Driscoll’s view, the larger group of players is meshing well. “I think in order to have a good team you need to have good senior leadership and strength throughout that group and you must have a talented freshman class that prevents complacency,” said Driscoll. “We have that component. We have good leaders; Tyler Lussi, Jesse McDonough, Vanessa Gregoire are the captains. We have some freshmen who are very, very good and who are going to really push the envelope. The second thing you need is health. We have the ability to rotate players better and I

BURSTING ON THE SCENE: Princeton University women’s soccer player Mimi Asom, left, goes after a ball in 2015 action. Asom made quite a debut last fall, scoring 12 goals and four assists to help Princeton win the Ivy League title as it went 14-4-1 overall and 6-0-1 in conference play. Asom was named the Ivy Rookie of the Year and a second-team All Ivy selection. The Tigers open their 2016 campaign this weekend by hosting Fordham on August 26 and Villanova on August 28. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) think it is going to allow us to stay healthier and more rejuvenated with every game. That will give us the ability in these two-game weekends to compete better.” The Tigers will have to compete hard in opening weekend in order to get wins over Fordham and Villanova. “We eked out a win at Fordham, we were very fortunate to get out of there with a win, it was a nail-biter to say the least,” noted Driscoll, reflecting on the 2-1 triumph. “Last year when we played Villanova, that was the turning point in our season (a 3-1 win). We had a very good outing against them in the first half, which really changed

the overall belief in the team because we were coming off a three-game losing streak at the time. Villanova has added numerous freshmen this year so they are going to be a much different looking team. They got a good result over the weekend, knocking off Delaware, who beat us last year. I expect us to be fired up and ready to play in a Friday night home opener. We have a very difficult challenge ahead of us this weekend as both teams are going to be hungry and improved. In addition, they have also had a chance to play in a couple of regular season games against quality opposition. We cannot wait to see our team compete again.” —Bill Alden

That is until last Friday, when rising Princeton senior Ashleigh Johnson helped the U.S. women’s water polo team defeat Italy 12-5 in the gold medal match at the Rio Summer Games. The imposing 6’1 Johnson, a native of Miami, Fla., was at her imperious best in

the final, making nine saves in stifling the Italian shooters. She was named the outstanding goalie of the tournament, having made 48 saves and giving up only 28 goals in six games for the undefeated American squad. With Johnson as its safety blanket, the U.S. offense had free rein, outscoring its foes 73-32 in earning its second straight gold medal.

Johnson, however, wasn’t the only Princeton grad to earn a medal on Friday as former women’s soccer standout Diana Matheson ’08 help e d t he C a nada women’s soccer team edge host Brazil 2-1 in the bronze medal match. Gritty midfielder Matheson played 66 minutes in the match, leaving with the Canadians up 2-0. It was the second bronze medal for Matheson as she scored a stoppage-time goal to help Canada edge France 1-0 in the third-place match at the 2012 London Summer Games to help clinch the country’s first-ever women’s soccer medal. Tw o P r i n c e t o n t r a c k coaches, Priscilla Frederick and Robby Andrews, were also in action in Rio last week. Frederick, the lone female representative from Antigua and Barbuda, finished 28th overall in the women’s high jump with a leap of 6’ 4.50. Andrews, a Manalapan, New Jersey native and former University of Virginia standout, took third in his opening heat in the men’s 1,500 meters on August 16 and then placed fifth in the semis last Thursday, apparently booking a spot in the finals. But in a heartbreaking twist of events, Andrews was disqualified for stepping one foot outside the track on the last turn when he was involved in some jostling for position with a group of foes. —Bill Alden

It is how do you go about your business in the spring and the summer in order to get over the hump.” Henderson is looking for his players to take a business-like approach as they face Italian pro teams this week. “It is just compete, play against the highest level of competition, test our mettle but don’t develop any bad habits,” said Henderson. “We have set some goals that are appropriate for the group and so far they have matched them in just a few days of practice. It is really a mental thing. It is let’s exceed any sort of expectations that we may have for ourselves by a factor of ten. Let’s take this thing to another level.” Brase, for his part, is focused on the goal of ending his Princeton career with an Ivy championship. “In my four years, we have been second or third every year so I need to leave with a title,” said Brase. “We always talk about it, getting another banner up. We were so close last year so the guys are all really hungry. We have a motto, that we take it personally in everything we do.

Morgan received a firstround bye and claimed a 3-0 victory in the second round, but he was forced to retire in the second game of his third-round match due to injury. Fortunately, he had several days to recover before the team competition, when Team USA made some history as it ended up third in the competition. The American side won three matches, including an historic upset of third-seeded France, and finished third overall in the tournament; the prev ious best finish for Team USA was seventh

(2002). Morgan won twice during the team competition (vs. South Africa and Spain) to help his squad to its memorable finish. Raghavan, for his part, led India to the team quarterfinals before being eliminated. ———

Three Princeton University women’s hockey players, rising senior defenseman Kelsey Koelzer, rising s op h o m or e d e fe n s e m a n Stephanie Sucharda, and incoming freshman goalie Steph Neatby, took part in a three-game series between the U.S. and Canada from August 17-20 at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta. Koelzer competed for the 2016 U.S. Women’s Under-22 Select Team while Sucharda and Neatby played for the Canada’s National W o m e n’s D e v e l o p m e n t Team. Canada won the first two games of the series, prevailing 2-1 on August 17 and 4-3 on August 19 with the U. S. rebounding to take the finale 3-2 on August 20. Koelzer had assists in the opener and the finale for the U.S. while Neatby started Game 2. ———

Robinson joins teammate Steve Mills ’81 in taking on a front-office role with an NBA team, as Mills became the general manager of the New York Knicks in 2013. While at Princeton, Robinson led the Tigers in scoring in each of his final three seasons, earning second-team All-Ivy League honors as a sophomore in 1981 before being named the Ivy League Player of the Year in 1982 and ’83. Princeton won an Ivy title in three of his four seasons with the team, and in 1983, the 12th-seeded Tigers pulled a first-round NCA A Tournament upset against fifth-seeded Oklahoma State at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Ore., where

Robinson returned 25 years later as Oregon State’s head coach. Following a career in finance, Robins on joine d the staff of newly-former Princeton coach Bill Carmody at Northwestern in 2000 alongside another first-time assistant coach in current Tiger head coach Mitch Henderson. In 2006, Robinson had his first NCAA head coaching role when he took over at Brown, remaining there for two seasons until he was hired at Oregon State in 2008. In 2014, Robinson joined ESPN as an analyst. Robinson’s daughter, Leslie, is a rising junior for the Princeton women’s basketball program. Robinson is the older brother of U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama.

TOM TERRIFIC: Star midfielder Tom Schreiber heads to goal during his stellar career with the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team. Schreiber, a 2014 Princeton grad who stands fifth all-time for the program in points with 200 (106 goals, 94 assists), was recently named as the Coca Cola 2016 Major League Lacrosse (MLL) Most Valuable Player for his play this season with Ohio Machine. Schreiber led the league with 36 assists and added 23 goals (and one two-pointer) for 60 points, third-best in the league. Schreiber’s 36 assists this year are the second-most ever by an MLL midfielder, behind the 38 that Boston’s Paul Rabil had in 2012. Last Saturday, Schreiber tallied three goals and two assists in a losing cause as the Machine fell 19-18 to the Denver Outlaws in the MLL championship game. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

sko-Biala, Poland. Both players opened in the individual draw, and Raghavan made the most of his opportunity with three victories, including a fivegame thriller over one of the seeded players in the field. After consecutive 3-0 wins to begin his tournament, Raghavan faced England’s Kyle Finch and he managed a 14-12, 4-11, 11-8, 5-11, 11-9 victory to reach the fourth round. He would fall in the Round of 16 to Benjamin Aubert of France in three tight games.

A rash of injuries paved the way for Sydney Watts to get some playing time during the latter stages of her freshman season with the Amherst College field hockey team in the fall of 2013. The former Princeton High standout made the most of the opportunity, holding her own at left back as Amherst went 13-3 and advanced to the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) semifinals. That breakthrough led to the 5’2 Watts becoming a fixture in the lineup, starting 32 of 33 games over the past two seasons on the defensive back line for the Purple and White. “A lot of our star ters

were getting hurt so in the last regular season game; I ended up going in halfway through and that was like the turning point for my career,” said Watts, recalling her opportunity to contribute. “It was huge. It was a culmination of work that we had all put in and when they actually needed us, we had to jump in and play.” Next week, Watts heads into her senior season as a team co-captain looking to culminate her Amherst career in style. “I think this season is a huge season for us because we have a lot of returning starters,” said Watts. “We need to get out from the get-go with a ton of

energy and confidence but at the same time take practice as seriously as we would games. Sometimes the midweek practices can get to you so getting that allaround focus and game day mentality all the time would get us on the right track.” Despite suffering some graduation losses, Amherst stayed on the right track in Watts’ sophomore season, going 12-4 overall. “We transitioned from having our center forward, center mid, and center back all graduate after my freshman year,” said Watts, who had three assists in 2014. “It could have been seen as a growing year but we turned around and made it into something where we

showed our strength.” Last year, Watts found herself on an island along the Amherst back line due to a change in formation. “This past year we played four midfielders with two center mids, switching from playing four forwards,” said Watts. “In that sense the outside players were really crucial because we didn’t have anyone who could pop over. It left me with more defensive responsibility. The left back is the hardest spot to be because you are playing on your weaker side compared to whoever is coming at you.” Popping up at the right time helped Watts produce a major highlight of her career in a 2-1 overtime victory against Williams in the 2015 NESCAC tournament. “We had a center back pass from one side and it got intercepted and they come down and got a first shot and then they got a second shot,” recalled Watts. “The goalie was dow n and out of nowhere, I appear in the footage. I don’t know where I was or how I got there. I made a crazy defensive save I could never

replay or do again. It was the coolest play of my life. It was at the end of the first half, nobody had scored and that save changed the momentum. We scored right after the start of the second half and they had a last minute goal at the end of the second half and then we won in OT.” Watts headed to Prague, Czech Republic for t he spring semester of her junior year but received a cool honor prior to the trip as she was named as a co-captain of the team for the 2016 campaign. “I was super happy to be there but bummed to be away from the team because captains were announced just before I left,” said Watts. “I was happy to hear that I was named captain but not being on campus and being a captain is a tough spot to be in. I was playing catch up and trying to get in touch with all the incoming freshmen and the other players and also trying to play myself. I was in New York City working for the summer; it was hard to get to but I made it work.” Before Amherst starts preseason training on August 31, Watts will be honing her leadership skills. “As a captain we go up three or four days early and do a leadership symposium with “Amherst Leads,” which is super exciting,” said Watts. “All the Amherst captains from every season get together and do a whole leadership program and then we dive right into preseason right after that.” Having star ted playing field hockey when she was 11, Watts is trying not to dwell on the approaching end of her career in the sport. “I honestly feel this is like any other season, not like it is going to be my last,” said Watts, a ZAG Field Hockey/ NFHCA All-Academic selection majoring in psychology who is looking to get into the business world after graduation. “That is kind of nice because it hasn’t hit me yet, hopefully it hits me after the season.” With Amherst dueling with national powers Bowdoin and Middlebury for NESCAC supremacy, Watts knows that the Purple and White needs to make strides to achieve a memorable season. “Bowdoin was undefeated all season until the national championship game when Middlebury took them out,” said Watts. “It is great competition so hopefully we can figure it out this year.” —Bill Alden

“HEAT/DROUGHT KILLS” With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES, INC.

What’s Happening to our Trees? It may come as little surprise, but the official statistics are in: July was the hottest month in the lower 48 states since the government began keeping temperature records in 1895. The spring rains slacked off to the weekends and even then the levels were small, one-tenth of an inch to a half inch at most. You may see signs of stress in your plants due to these conditions such as; leaves drooping, curling, turning yellow or tips and edges becoming brown and brittle. Premature leaf drop is another effect of Heat/ Drought Stress. For many of our trees that have suffered this summer, no amount of rainfall now can replace the food loss that occurred during the growing season. What Can We Do For Our Trees? Watering now before the ground freezes cannot be over emphasized. Approximately one inch of water applied once every week to ten days, will maintain moisture in the upper soil level where most root tips exist. Bio-Fertilization along with our Organic Root Promoter is a must this Fall to encourage new root growth and give them a head start for spring. Mulching (a two to three inch layer of organic mulch) is one of the most beneficial things that owners and managers can do for the health of their trees, especially this year. Winter Proofing or Antidesiccant spray to evergreens will reduce excessive water loss through rapid transpiration thus helping prevent additional stress during the coming winter months. To arrange for a Heat/ Drought Stress evaluation call WOODWINDS at 609-924-3500 or email us at treecare@woodwindsassociates.com “Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely” 1967 – 2016 49 Years of caring for New Jersey’s trees Thank you!

W h e n Marco P i n h eiro started looking at colleges, he was initially focusing on schools that would further his soccer career. Displaying his skills as a fou r- ye ar s t ar ter a nd standout midfielder for the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team and also playing for some high-level club programs, Pinheiro had the resume to play at the next level. But as he got deeper into the process, Pinheiro shifted gears, deciding that he was more interested in finding the best fit for his deep interest in architecture. Influenced by former PDS soccer star Pierre Hoppenot, who studied architecture and played soccer at Washington University in St. Louis, Pinheiro checked out the school and fell in love with it. Pinheiro was accepted at WashU and decided that was where he wanted to go. After committing to the school, Pinheiro reached out to its men’s soccer head coach, Joe Clarke, to see if he might get a shot at joining the program. “I e-mailed the coach and said hey I am coming I am really interested in playing soccer and originally I didn’t get a response,” said Pinheiro. “My club coach actually called him and said I have a player who is going to your school and could help out your program.” Clarke got back to Pinheiro and invited him to preseason. “He said he already had a big recruiting class and he wasn’t going to promise me anything but just come out and try out,” said Pinheiro. W h ile P in heiro wasn’t overly confident coming into the try-out, he was able to impress Clarke right away. “To be honest, I didn’t have too high expectations but I knew that with my skill hopefully I could do something,” said Pinheiro. “I knew I was good enough but in the situation I wasn’t sure what would happen so I didn’t set any high expectations. Once preseason started, I felt really comfortable and the coach told me right away that I had a spot. He said I had my recruiting class, I have a JV team and a varsity team and right now I see you in between and we’ll see how it works out.” Things ended up working

out well for Pinheiro as he played for the varsity, getting into 15 games and making four starts as the Bears went 12-4-4 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III tournament. “I was pleasantly surprised,” said Pinheiro. “It worked out where I started a few games and got into pretty much every game.” Getting on the field so much gave Pinheiro a good idea of the toughness of college soccer. “I think playing academy soccer in New Jersey, the speed of play is already very fast and then coming to college soccer, it was mostly the physicality of it,” noted Pinheiro. “In high school and academy, you are usually playing with kids who are around your age but here you are playing against some kids who are two or three years older. They are huge and always going to the gym so it was a lot more physical.” Over the course of his freshman year, Pinheiro progressed mentally and physically. “I was more of a rotation player, when guys needed a break I would go in,” said Pinheiro, who got one assist on the season. “I played more of a defensive role, which I am used to. I think I grew a lot in the system that we played, getting comfortable with the kids around me. I am always getting better physically. We had offseason workouts and technically we are always working on our touches and everything. We are always working on our game.” Wit h WashU ra n ke d 24th in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and Continental Tire Preseason Top25 Poll coming into the 2016 campaign, Pinheiro believes the Bears have the potential to be one of the better teams in the nation. “We were actually a little disappointed because we thought we could have done more in the NCAAs, especially since we had a chance to win it in PKs,” said Pinheiro, reflecting on the team’s tough loss to DePauw in the second round contest. “We only graduated one or two kids. We have a very good, deep team with a lot of returning players. The at-

After Making WashU Men’s Soccer Team as a Walk-on, PDS Alum Pinheiro Primed for Big Sophomore Season titude right now is hopefully we can make a really deep run in the playoffs and challenge for a national championship.” Pinheiro is hoping to have a greater impact as a sophomore. “Last year, the coach had meetings with all of the players at the end of the year and he definitely gave me confidence going into this season,” said Pinheiro. “Hopefully I can get some more playing time and a few more starts. I see myself playing the same role in defensive midfield but we talked about moving me up and playing some attacking midfield too.” But no matter what happens, Pinheiro had found a soccer home in St. Louis. “The biggest thing I noticed is that it doesn’t matter, if you are a JV player or a varsity player, you are part of the Washington soccer family,” said Pinheiro, who enjoyed his architecture studies and did an internship this summer for Studio Hillier in Princeton. “Everyone does everything together, we always eat together. People don’t look at you like oh you practice with the JV, it is you are part of Washington soccer.” —Bill Alden

TopSpin Hoops Academy Debuts at Hun School, Offering Campers Lessons On and Off the Court

In common parlance, “top spin” usually refers to a stroke in racquet sports where the ball is hit with a rising action and then dips over the net, making it hard to return. But for 52 underprivileged eighth and ninth graders, the term took a new meaning last week as they took part in the inaugural TopSpin Hoops Academy on the campus of the Hun School. The program was an overnight basketball camp that took place from August 12-16, suppor ted by the not-for-profit TopSpin charity organization, formed in 2009 and dedicated to providing necessary resources for under served youth to succeed. H u n b o y s’ b a s ke t b a l l head coach Jon Stone, who served as a director of the camp, noted that the oncourt sessions were just the beginning of the lessons imparted to the campers. “The idea of the camp was to use basketball as a hook to teach them more than just basketball,” said Stone, noting that the campers came from New York City, Philadelphia, the Perth Amboy area, Monmouth County, Trenton, Ewing, and Atlantic City. It took a group effort by Stone and some fr iends to get the program off the ground.

“It was an idea that Pete Farnsworth and I started talking about two or three years ago,” said Stone, noting that Farnsworth is a cofounder of TopSpin and a former senior vice president of the NBA. “We both realized we had a mutual friend, Ed Pinckney, the guy who graduated from Villanova and played on its first national championship team. He had a nice NBA career, playing mainly with the Boston Celtics, and he has been an assistant coach for many years. The three of us were the impetus behind the camp.” While playing basketball was a big part of the camp, there was a lot of time devoted to classroom work and guest lectures. “We had stations in the morning followed by lunch, followed by classroom work which was basically leadership, conflict resolution, writing, and a little bit about community service,” said Stone, whose main duties included finding the counselors, organizing the daily routine, and finding the kids through local organizations and coaches while Farnsworth focused on fundraising through his ties with TopSpin. “Then we would do more basketball and t hen we brought in a series of lecturers to come and talk to

them. Then there was more basketball.” Lecturers include NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tat u m , for m e r R u tg e r s standout and NBA player Hollis Copeland, former NBA player and current Philadelphia 76ers front office employee Brandon D. Williams, and WNBA legend Swin Cash. Other hoops luminaries who appeared at the camp to coach and talk included former University of Hartford and NBA star Vin Baker and former St. John’s standout and NBA player Felipe Lopez. “The lectures for most of these people were about life skills with a little bit of their background story, a bit of who they are, where they came from, and how they made it,” said Stone. In Stone’s view, the campers benefitted from exposure to the varied roster of speakers. “I think it went pretty well, some were more engaged than others in the off the court stuff, but the kids all got something out of it,” added Stone. “There were certain themes with all of the speakers but they all talked a little differently; I think they all responded well.” Having pulled everything together to launch the program, Stone is hoping it will be an annual event. “It was a lot of work but a lot of fun, “ said Stone. “We think it was an overall

Having worked at Tenacre Foundation in several capacities for almost 30 years, Curtis’s friendly smile and exuberant greeting could be seen and heard at many Princeton establishments.

Sara Davies Gillespie

Sara Davies Gillespie, 89, a resident of Princeton for 60 years, died at the Compassionate Care Hospice in Hamilton on August 5, 2016, nine days after a fall at her home. She was born in Savannah, Georgia in 1927, where her grandfather had been mayor three times, and her father was an alderman, but moved with her family to Detroit soon after her birth as her father helped launch the Universal Credit Corp., the new financing arm of the

Her mother was so unhappy with the proposed move nor th that she secured a promise that they would spend most vacation time home, so they rented, bought, and eventually built a home at the new Sea Island resort, on the Georgia coast. She graduated from St. Catherine’s School in Richmond, Virginia in 1945 and then followed her aunt Inez, two sisters and various cousins to Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, graduating in 1949. After college, she married the affable and popular, newly-minted Yale PhD John Davies ’41 and he accepted teaching positions at the University of Minnesota and Smith. In 1955, the family moved to Princeton and her husband would edit the Princeton Alumni Weekly for the next 15 years. They built one of the first houses way out on Heather Lane, well before the construction of PDS or the straightening of the Great Road, where they raised the world’s worst behaved boxers and threw pretty good dinner parties. As a young married woman, she volunteered at Princeton hospital, the N.J. Neuro-Psychiatric Institute in Skillman, and tirelessly at Planned Parenthood in Princeton and Trenton, where she eventu-

ally became president and a national board member. After her divorce in 1971, she used her major in art history to become a curator and framing specialist at Gallery 100 on Nassau Street. Later, she became a managing director for William Sword’s Foundation Managers on Chambers Street. In 1988, she married Gene Gillespie and they enjoyed winters in Delray Beach, Florida and at her family house at Mill Reef, Antigua. She is survived by her two delightful children, Carsten, known as Tena, and Horace Andrew, know n as “The Atomic Gasser”, both of Man hat tan ; a g randdog Roxy; her older sister Mary T. Hoagland of Denver; 3 stepchildren; and ten nieces and nephews. She followed the example set by her first husband and beloved aunt Dua Helmer by prerranging a “Whole Body Donation” with the RWJ/ Rutgers Medical School in Piscataway, saving her family a lot of costly and difficult decisions. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you make a contribution to Pastor Luc Deratus’s Haiti Mission or a charity of your choice, and enjoy a Dove mini ice cream bar and/or a Lindt dark chocolate truffle. She was a pistol.

He could often be seen at Off-Broadstreet Theatre in Hopewell which became his theatrical family and home. For several years, he was also a professional Santa.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A TENANT? As summer winds to a close, many unsuccessful home buyers become discouraged when they fail to find the home of their dreams, and that discouragement can lead some to toss in the towel entirely and resume their life of renting. But is that really a good choice? Today’s market is especially competitive for renters, which means it's harder than ever to find a place that meets all your needs while still staying within your budget. Plus, there are all the other downsides of being a tenant:

• Even simple changes require landlord approval - even putting a nail in the wall could put • • • •

your security deposit at risk. The owner could decide to sell, leaving you homeless or resulting in a major rent hike when your lease is up. Having necessary repairs can be a hassle, especially if you rent a house or duplex. Apartment complexes can be noisy and you'll always be adjusting to new neighbors. And finally, all that rent you'll be paying will go toward building up someone else's equity, not your own.

The good news: Autumn means lots of sellers will be lowering their prices, so keep up your search and you could be in your new home well before the holidays.
