International Architect Set For Major Expansion Of University Art Museum
Princeton University’s intimate art museum is on track to become considerably larger. The University has selected Sir David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates as design architect, in collaboration with Cooper Robertson as executive architect, for what is being called the new Princeton University Art Museum. “The reimagined museum will be the cultural gateway between Princeton University, its students, faculty, and the world, a place of mind-opening encounter with art and ideas ‘in the service of humanity,’” said Adjaye. “We are deeply honored to be part of the next chapter of its history.” The new building will be located on its current site in the center of the campus. But expect “dramatically enlarged space for the exhibition and study of the museum’s encyclopedic collections, special exhibitions, and art conservation, as well as object-study classrooms and office space for the 100-person museum staff,” according to a story on the University website. “Sir David Adjaye is a renowned architect who has designed superb buildings for some of the world’s most admired cultural institutions,” said Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber. “Having taught on this campus, he understands fully what the University and the art museum are looking to accomplish. I am thrilled that Adjaye Associates and their skilled collaborators at Cooper Robertson will serve as the architects for this project.” Adjaye, who has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, was a visiting professor at Princeton from 2008 to 2010. He founded Adjaye Associates, which has offices in London, New York, and Ghana. The firm has projects in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Among them: the central pavilion and main exhibition spaces for the 56th Venice Art Biennale (with curator Okwui Enwezor), the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, the Sugar Hill mixed-use social housing and museum scheme in Harlem, and the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University. Ongoing projects include the Ruby Continued on Page 10

New Citizens Help Celebrate Welcoming Week
It’s Welcoming Week in Princeton, September 14-23, and a full slate of welcoming events is underway, highlighted by Monday’s naturalization ceremony where 28 Princeton area residents took the oath of allegiance to become new citizens of the United States. “This week is a celebration of the town and all of the different peoples that make this such a vibrant community,” said Welcoming Week Co-Organizer Kim Dorman of the Princeton Public Library (PPL). “Princeton’s Welcoming Week is a reminder of our town’s commitment to creating and promoting welcoming values and policies that ensure all residents in our town feel at home and reach their greatest potential,” added Princeton Human Services Acting Director and Welcoming Week Co-Organizer Melissa Urias. She continued, “We are joining the nation in showing unity and celebrating the rich culture our residents bring to our community. Now, more than ever, it is vital that we stand up as a community and recognize the importance of fostering a culture that is welcoming, accepting, and inclusive.” Shirley Satterfield, local historian and longtime resident of the community, kicked off the proceedings last Friday with her Albert Hinds African American Tour Presentation at the Henry Pannell Learn-
ing Center. The naturalization ceremony followed in the Community Room of the PPL on Monday at 2 p.m., and later that evening the PPL hosted an English Language Learners pot luck dinner. At 5:30 p.m. Monday Princeton Garden Theatre presented a screening of The Color of Medicine, chronicling the rise and fall of St. Louis’s premier black hospital, followed by a panel discussion with Princeton University faculty members. Sustainable Princeton welcomed visitors to an open house at mid-day on Tuesday, passing out free tree seedlings. Welcoming Week events will continue at 6 p.m. on Thursday, September 20 with Cultural Exchange Night in Hinds Plaza
hosted by the Latin American Legal and Defense Education Fund (LALDEF), Human Services, and the PPL. Princeton University invites the community to attend Community and Staff Day on Saturday at the Princeton University Stadium, including a youth sports clinic, the Princeton football game, entertainment, crafts, and an information fair featuring local community organizations. Welcoming Week activities will wrap up on Sunday at the Princeton Art Museum with “Loteria” Mexican Bingo and a tour of the museum at 3 p.m. Princeton High School’s Rocks Club announced that it has painted “welcome” Continued on Page 9
Tax Experts Warn Of New Tax Law Impact On New Jersey Residents
Sheila Reynertson, senior policy analyst for New Jersey Policy Perspective, warned a gathering of Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) members and others at the Suzanne Patterson Center Sunday night that the new tax bill is a bad deal for most New Jersey residents and that the majority of benefits accrue to the wealthiest five percent. In addition, she noted, the bill’s increasing price tag, now estimated to be about $1.9 trillion, up from $1.5 trillion a year
ago, exacerbates the impact on middleclass and low-income Americans by putting increased budget pressure on vital programs like Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and housing support. Reynertson shared the podium with Karen A. Artasanchez, a CPA and tax professional at Wilkin & Guttenplan, who presented information on how tax legislation impacts individuals. Reynertson pointed out that personal Continued on Page 12

Woodrow Wilson to Be Celebrated In the House He Helped Design
Wo o d r o w W i l s o n h a s been the focus of numerous events that Robert Carr has held in his home at 82 Library Place. It was Wilson, after all, who designed and built the house in 1896, during his tenure as president of Princeton University. But the “Party of the Cen-

tury,” planned for Sunday, November 11, is the first time Carr is using his historic home for a fundraiser. The event will benefit Give S omet h ing B ack, wh ich provides scholarships and mentoring to students facing economic hardship and other adversities. Carr founded the nonprofit in 2003, the same year he bought the house. An actor playing Wilson himself will make an appearance at the event. “He doesn’t look like him, but he knows a lot about him and has done it before,” said Carr, who calls Wilson “the seminal figure in American history.” The celebration honors the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of World War I. It is date-specific: November 11 was the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Wilson, the 28th U.S. president, led America through the war. “We’ll break it up into a couple of sections,” said Carr of the $150-a-ticket event (the suggested donation, but donations are not required). “There will be a cocktail party in the afternoon, some educational stuff, and a traveling exhibit we set up with Lewis University will be on view at the house, including some documents and memorabilia.” Carr has immersed himself in all things Wilson since he and his family moved to the house that Wilson, his wife, and children occupied from 1896 until he was elected president in 1902. “There were 19 ow ners of t his house before I bought it,” Carr said. “The University was one of the owners back in the Depression, and they used it for faculty housing.” Despite its impressive pedigree, the house was vacant and in decline when the Carrs took it on. They hired architect Ron Berlin and Baxter Construction to undertake a substantial renovation. “It was actually very well built,” said Carr. “I told Jim Baxter I wanted it to last for another 100 years, and they did a marvelous job. The workers were very committed. It was a huge and meaningful project for a lot of us. Ron Berlin got an award from the state for his work.” Upon granting that award in 2016, the New Jersey Historic Sites Council also commended Carr and his wife, Jill, for the project. The organization “always keeps an
eye out for deserving candidates that might not have the backing of public dollars, nor the weight of regulatory intervention,” a statement read. “A lot of times, people get it right on their own, out of sincere respect for the past and concern for the legacy in the future.” Research done by Carr revealed that Wilson and his wife, Ellen Axson Wilson, were closely involved with New York architect Edward S. Child in the design. Prior to a 2016 house tour that featured the home, Historical Society of Princeton Executive Director Izzy Kasdin commented, “They [the Wilsons] didn’t have much money and had to make a lot of compromises.

the cost-cutting measures they took. They wanted to have a separate servants’ staircase, but they couldn’t afford it and they were disappointed in that. Some of the features are from the Sears catalogue. It’s so interesting because the perception of Library Place is that everything is the best.” The house is one of the few in the United States to have been designed and built by a U.S. president, and are still being used. “I believe there are two — this, and Monticello,” said Carr. “I hired a student to try and find another but we couldn’t find one that was still being used.” Wilson’s legacy has been controversial since evidence of his racist policies and actions came to light two years ago. The University grappled with pressure to change the name of the Woodrow Wilson School and the residential college which also bears his name, ultimately deciding not to do so. But the trustees did call for “an expanded and more vigorous commitment to diversity and inclusion at Princeton” and a series of initiatives to contextualize Wilson’s legacy and to “diversify campus art and iconography.” Carr prefers not to take a position on the subject. “What I do like to say about him is that he was someone we can learn a lot from, because he got people to agree to something that was impossible to implement, and we suffered because of it,” he said. “But he was considered the most popular human being ever on Earth in his lifetime. He went to Paris and London after the war, and people were lined up for miles because he ended the war. Then it sort of fell apart after that. But it’s amazing how much damage a wellintentioned person can do by over-promising.” To attend the event, RSVP at giveback.ngo/1918-2018 by October 1. —Anne Levin

McReynolds was named one of just 15 postdocs across the United States who was selected by HHMI as a Hanna Gray Fellow, gaining “the freedom to follow her curiosity, and the support of the vast community of HHMI scientists, a stellar group that includes the world’s leading biomedical researchers,” according to the HHMI announcement. “Fellows will be supported from early postdoctoral training through several years of a tenure-track faculty position,” the HHMI stated, noting that the program “seeks to encourage talented early career scientists who have the potential to become leaders in academic research.” The announcement continues, “In particular, this program aims to recruit and retain emerging scientists who are from gender, racial, ethnic, and other groups underrepresented in the life sciences, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds.” Throughout the challenging transitions and impressive accomplishments that have characterized her life so far, McReynolds has sustained certain consistent themes: hard work, bringing people together, and science. Young Scientist “At age 5 I knew I wanted to be a scientist,” she said. “My grandmother and my parents of ten asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I always said a scientist. I got a little microscope from my mom for Christmas when I was 7 or 8 and I took it everywhere. I’ve always been intrigued and infatuated with science. I took every science class offered, and I was really good in math too.” Both of her parents went to Alcorn State University, a historically black Mississippi college, and were high
school vocational arts teachers — her mother in home economics, her father in agriculture. When Melanie, an only child, was in 10th grade, she looked through the Alcorn catalogue and decided what her next step would be. “By 11th grade I knew I wanted to be a biochemistry major.” In the summer following her sophomore year at Alcorn, McReynolds experienced ”one of the changing moments of my career” when she was chosen as one of ten top Alcorn scholars to participate in a research trip to Bangalore, India. “That was the first time I did biomedical research. I was exposed to real research. I had my own project, and I got my feet wet,” she said. The leader of the summer trip was head of the Alcorn biology department and also one of the directors of the Alcorn-Penn State Bridges to the Doctorate Program. “He saw something in me,” she said, “and a lot of the students who went to India were the same students who went on from Alcorn to Penn State for PhDs.” In addition to her extensive work in biochemistry and molecular biology at Penn State, focusing on the field of cellular metabolism that eventually brought her to Princeton in July 2017, McReynolds was also a leader outside the classroom and the lab. “I had my hand in a lot of different buckets at Penn State,” she said. Bringing People Together As president of a graduate student organization working with the deans and others to create an inclusive community, McReynolds received the 2017 Way Paver Award for her “extraordinary commitment to diversity and the creation of an inclusive community;” for enhancing “student life and the climate throughout the local community;” and for motivating others “through [her] leadership and impeccable character.” Mc Rey nold s de s cr ib e d how her fellow graduate students had come from all over the world, but in many classes and other settings there were few students of color. “I wanted to bring everyone together, so students didn’t feel they were alone. The PhD program is supposed to be a lonely program, and sometimes it’s
better when you have people from the same background or from the same part of the country come together, to get help from others, build connections, network, so people don’t feel alone.” Emphasizing t he challenges of keeping students in the program to complete their degrees, McReynolds continued, “With retention, retaining students in the program, if you’re there by yourself it’s easier to quit. If you’re there with other people you make a pact, and we make sure we all finish. Also with a community it’s easier to recruit more students of color, or more students in general. The best students want to go where there’s a more inclusive community for everyone. That’s something I wanted to build at Penn State.” T h i s p a s t s u m m e r at Princeton McReynolds was one of the main postdoc teachers in the summer research program in molecular biology, working with students from a wide range of different backgrounds. “I want to give back to the communit y in impor tant ways. I worked with students from different backgrounds and helped to bring them together. And that’s something I love doing.” McReynolds has ambitious plans for pursuing those interests in the future, along with her high-level research work. “I want to create my own bridges program, my own internship program, because if it weren’t for that type of program I wouldn’t be here. You never know who you may touch or who you may encourage to do more,” she said. Groundbreaking Research Cur rently pursuing re search in Joshua Rabinowitz’s cellular metabolism laborator y at Pr inceton, McReynolds is trying to understand what happens to metabolism during aging and how to combat deficiencies in metabolic systems that contribute to aging. “She’s doing groundbreaking, fundamental research, addressing one of the issues that worries all of us,” said Rabinowitz. “She’s a very committed and dynamic scientist — an engaging speaker who makes science captivating. This grant will allow her to pursue vigorously this work in the lab with me and to launch her own work.” Reflecting on the prospects for her future career, McReynolds noted, “The sky’s the limit now. The funds that this grant provides will allow me to be creative to pursue the outstanding science that I want to pursue and it gives me the flexibility, the safety net, to fail and ultimately to succeed.” McReynolds looks forward to being “an example and a voice for the generations coming behind me, so that people see Melanie was able to do this. She’s from Mississippi. She went to a small, historically black college, and she was able to make it. I can encourage others so they will be able to make it too as long as they believe in themselves and have the faith to go out and do it.” —Donald Gilpin

Ya M e i C h e n , U S C I S Mount Laurel Field Office Director, shared her own experience as a naturalized citizen, urging the new citizens, “Don’t forget the country you are from. Keep celebrating your heritage as you celebrate the culture and heritage of this country. I want you to be a bridge
between the two cultures, the one you’re from and your new country.” Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, the keynote speaker, welcoming her 28 “fellow Americans,” emphasized the importance and difficulty of this moment in history. “You are all choosing to become Americans at a divisive and challenging time for our country,” she said. “It’s a time when many of us are asking who we are as a country and what we stand for. The answers to those questions are really up to all of us to answer together.” Commenting on the celebration of diversity during Welcoming Week, Lempert went on to say, “What binds us together is a shared set of beliefs, a belief in the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution — liberty, equality, the rule of law, a fair judicial system, and hope, hope in the ability to achieve the American Dream.” Quoting former President Barack Obama, Lemper t
urged listeners to speak out against hatred and bigotry and “to get involved in the political process and to make your voices heard. Each of you is called upon to help build and maintain our country.” Urias echoed Lempert’s advice in commenting on the goals of Welcoming Week. “Our hope is that residents will get involved in the work and contribute to creating a welcoming environment by fighting against the forces that divide our community.” The Princeton municipal website describes Welcoming Week as “a wonderful opportunity for us to come to ge t h er to af f ir m t hat Princeton is a place where we want to weave together all residents to be a part of the fabric of our shared future; one that highlights all of the gifts that our diverse community offers to make Princeton one of the best small cities in America.” —Donald Gilpin

With New Jersey Red Cross
The American Red Cross is working around the clock to provide safe shelter and comfort for the hundreds of thousands of people impacted by Hurricane Florence as the threat from the devastating storm continues. As of Tuesday, September 18, the storm was still bringing extremely dangerous flooding to the affected region and getting help into some areas will be difficult for some time. The Red Cross is urging the public to help. “Over the coming days, we’re going to see a tremendous need for support. As rivers continue to rise and hundreds of roads remain closed, our biggest challenge will be in getting help to where it’s needed most,” said Brad Kieserman, vice president of Disaster Services Operations and Logistics for the Red Cross. “We’re doing everything we can, including working with partners like the National Guard, to move volunteers and supplies to critical areas. As always, we’ll continue to focus on providing safe shelter and warm meals, as well as comfort and support, because sometimes people
just need to tell their story.” As of midnight on Sunday, more than 15,000 people sought refuge in more than 150 Red Cross and community shelters across the impacted region. This includes at least 14,200 people in 137 shelters in North Carolina, and 819 people in nine shelters in South Carolina. About 3,000 Red Cross disaster workers from all over the country, including 46 from New Jersey, have been mobilized to help shelter, feed and support people affected by Florence. Working with partners, the Red Cross has served 150,700 meals and snacks, and distributed more than 2,000 relief items like diapers and comfort kits that contain deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other hygiene items for people forced from their homes. Volunteer mental health and health services professionals have provided some 5,500 contacts to provide support and care to evacuees. The Red Cross is mobilizing more than 130 emergency response vehicles and more than 70 trailers of equipment and supplies, including ready-to-eat meals and enough cots and blankets for more than 100,000
PARK’S PAST: The history of Trenton’s Cadwalader Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, is the subject of a talk Wednesday, October 3 at Hopewell Theater.

Today, the park is home to Ellarslie museum, in the original mansion; a bandshell; playground; deer park; monkey house; and more. Hopewell Theater is at 5 South Greenwood Avenue in Hopewell. The talk is free. people. The organization is also working with the Southern Baptists to deploy multiple field kitchens that can together produce 170,000 meals per day. “At this time, 46 Red Cross disaster workers from New Jersey are providing help and hope to those impacted by this devastating storm,” said Rosie Taravella,
CEO, American Red Cross New Jersey Region. “We will continue to deploy volunteers and vehicles from New Jersey as needed. We are grateful to all of the volunteers, community partners and donors who help make disaster relief possible.” More t h a n 170 blo o d drives have been forced to cancel through this week
due to Hurricane Florence, resulting in more than 4,600 uncollected blood and platelet donations. The Red Cross urges people in unaffected areas to make an appointment to give blood or platelets to care for patients in the Southeast and throughout the country. There is a critical need for platelet and type O blood donations. Appointments can be made by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (800) 733-2767).

Talk on Sandinistas At Princeton University
“Nicaragua, What Went Wrong?” is the title of a talk that will explore what happened to the Sandinista revolution, featuring historian Dan La Botz. The talk is Tuesday, September 25, at 6 p.m. in Room E. Pyne 010, Princeton University (across from Firestone Library). The U.S.-backed Somoza family oligarchy was overthrown in 1979 by the Sandinista Front, revolutionaries led by Daniel Ortega, promising democracy and far-reaching reforms. La Botz went to Nicaragua shortly after the event to learn and to help. The U.S. government headed by President Ronald Reagan promoted a failed attempt to overthrow the Ortega government. Ortega was elected President in 1985 and again in 2007. La Botz has described the current Ortega regime as corrupt and repressive and Nicaragua as one of the poorest countries in Latin America. His talk will examine what went awry. La Botz has taught Latin American studies and history at Miami University of Ohio and the University of Cincinnati and is now at the School of Labor and Urban Studies at the City University of New York. In 2010 he ran for governor of Ohio on the Socialist Party ticket. He had been a truck driver, union organizer, and journalist, and is the author of “Rank and File Rebellion: Teamsters for a Democratic Union.” He is currently co-editor of the socialist journal New Politics and is a member of Solidarity and Democratic Socialists of America. The talk is sponsored by the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Young Democratic Socialists of America Princeton Chapter and Central Jersey DSA.

Tammy Murphy to Speak At Climate Action Conference
Concerns about a rapidly changing climate are the focus of “Accelerating Climate Action in the United States,” a conference taking place at Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment Thursday and Friday, September 20 and 21. Tammy Snyder Murphy, New Jersey’s first lady and an advocate for clean energy in New Jersey, will give the keynote address on Friday. Debbie Mans, deputy commissioner of New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection, delivers the public lecture on Thursday. The two-day event is desig ned to explore what government, individuals, industry, and other stakeholders can do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The conference examines what actions are being taken, with a focus on the power and transportation sectors, the two largest sources of U.S. emissions, and how to facilitate a shift toward a lowcarbon economy. “Climate action can and must come from every level — individuals, businesses, government. Our goal at the Andlinger Center is to broaden and deepen the dialogue on how to reduce carbon emissions and leave people with the knowledge and motivation to act in whatever capacity they can- as a parent, communicator, researcher, policymaker. Everyone can affect change,” said YuehLin (Lynn) Loo, director of the Andlinger Center and the Theodora D. ’78 and William H. Walton III ’74 Professor
in Engineering. A mix of researchers, policymakers, and business and nonprofit leaders will discuss how the interplay of technology innovation, public policy, markets, and human behavior affect climate change and its solutions. Judi Greenwald, former deputy director for climate, environment, and energy efficiency in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Policy and Systems Analysis and the Andlinger Center’s inaugural Gerhard R. Andlinger Visiting Fellow in Energy and the Environment, organized the conference to spark discussion among national and local stakeholders about the opportunity for climate action today. “This is a conference for specific policy, technology, market, and behavioral solutions,” said Greenwald. “It’s about what we can do, with industry, government, and individuals in the room. It’s action-oriented.” Speakers will include representatives from Uber, Volvo, Citi, Siemens, NRG, Regional Plan Association, The Brookings Institute, Rutgers University, the University of Maryland, Stanford University, Princeton University, and the New Jersey State Legislature. The conference is being held at Maeder Hall Auditorium in the Andlinger Center, on Olden Street.

Tax Law Impact continued from page one
income tax (PIT) changes under the GOP-Trump law, mostly temporary through 2025, present new PIT brackets and lower rates, with the top rate lowered from 39.6 percent to 37 percent. Also included are an increase in the standard deduction, repeal of personal exemptions, a $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, increased child tax credit, a new 20 percent deduction (with limits) for passthrough business income, and a slower rate of inflation. Cor porate income ta x changes, mostly permanent, lower the tax rate from 35 to 21 percent and repeal the alternative minimum tax. Estate taxes see the exemption doubled to $11M for singles and $22M for married couples. Reynertson emphasized that the richest New Jersey taxpayers will receive an outsized share of the tax cuts in the final GOPTrump tax bill, arguing that although the richest 1 percent of N.J. families, averaging annual income of $2.5M, would pay an average additional PIT of $34,290 due to the cap on state and local tax deductions, that increase would more than be made up by tax cuts from estate tax and corporate tax changes to result in a net average tax cut of $21,700 for the wealthiest. In addition to giving larger tax cuts to upper-income N.J. residents in 2019, Reynertson said, the new tax bill will raise taxes on low-and middle-income residents in
2027. She went on to argue that corporate tax cuts are giving huge windfalls to CEOs and wealthy stockholders, but have failed to boost wages, create jobs, or spur investment. Her six-month report card on the GOP-Trump tax cuts reported that four out of five workers in the private sector saw average hourly wages go down after inflation and that only 2.6 percent of New Jersey’s 4.3 million workers (4 percent nationwide) have been promised one-time bonuses or wage increases. In presenting highlights of the new tax laws, Artasanchez discussed individual provisions, including rate changes, itemized deductions, and children and education; then commented on small business provisions, including qualified business income deductions and depreciation provisions. In answering questions

from the audience, Artasanchez declined to comment when questions pertained more to policy issues than to the application of the law.

Resident Is Concerned About Town’s Recycling and Composting Program
To the Editor: I attended the evening public schools board meeting (the portion open to the public) on September 4 in the comically cramped room provided at the Valley Road building (where the Board members spread out comfortably at tables at one end of the room, while the public made-do with a shamble of available chairs at the other end — sharing space with several video cameras and a sound board engineer with a large table full of equipment, resulting in spill-out of attendees into the hall — some leaving in disgust. It does make one wonder if this is done by design, to deter a larger turnout. As the previous meeting had an identical situation (although this time, more so), you would think that arrangements would have been made to accommodate a larger gathering, as the school referendum is very clearly a hot topic at present. The meeting had a signup of over 30 speakers (with each having an allowance of two minutes to speak — I was one of them.) While the tone and approaches to the subject at hand varied, the concern and opposition expressed to the $129 million school referendum was palpable and unanimous. What was especially striking was the obvious disconnect (for want of a better way to interpret it … lack of interest? disdain?) between the parade of impassioned speakers and the Board. It brought to mind what could have passed for a SNL sketch; after nearly each speaker, the Board would sit quite blankly with rarely a response (and when offered, it was either a weak or patting-one’s-self-on-theback kind). The main response was usually from Pat Sullivan, who would mostly stare downward, but would come alive to inform each speaker when their two minutes were up. Enforcement of this time limit was clearly paramount to actually taking in what people were saying as they delivered a decided drumbeat of NO to the referendum. The citizenry of Princeton, at very least, deserve the respect and the full attention of the B.O.E. — when allowed an audience with them. BRUCE LAWTON Hawthorne Avenue
Concerned About the Word “Resistance” In the Head of Sept. 12 Page One Story
To the Editor: I find it puzzling and inaccurate that you chose to use the term “resistance” in the headline of the page one story [“Schools Face Resistance to Referendum Plan,” Sept. 12] to describe how many citizens in our community are reacting to the fact that an attempt is being made to “railroad” a variety of public school enhancements at a proposed cost of $130 million which these very citizens would have to help fund. These citizens are only rightly asking for a well thought-out proposal, which takes into account the real assumptions, the real costs, and the real needs of the schools involved. Hardly resistance …. Up until now, the process the school board has followed has been lacking a professional well thought-out plan and is based more on emotion than fact. They seem to be the ones “resisting” sharing the very information we all deserve to have as taxpayers long before any vote is scheduled. MARK LARSEN Hun Road

To the Editor: I’m wondering what is happening with the recycling and composting programs in Princeton. As I walk around town, I see more and more “non recyclable” items in the yellow bins such as styrofoam, plastic shopping bags, and pizza boxes. We know this pollutes the stream and often necessitates that a greater percentage just gets rerouted to the landfill. Also, I see fewer and fewer new green composting bins on the street and realize that I haven’t received anything in years asking me to join the composting program or reminding me of what can and can’t be recycled and composted. I know this information is available on the township website, but judging from simple observation I don’t think many residents are even aware of that. I know that the management of the programs has changed hands and I wonder if whoever is in charge of them now even cares about the results or the value of these programs to the community and our environment. I know for a fact that their predecessor did, because I volunteered my time and worked with her to increase awareness and expand participation. Since I began drafting this letter a lot has apparently changed, not for the better. In an email from the mayor to the composting participants, we have been notified that the program is in jeopardy of being terminated because of “repeated contamination” of the composting shipments to the processing facility. We are being told that the town just found out about this despite the fact that the hauler apparently knew months ago. Why would it take so long for those running the program to inform the participants? People are participating in this program because we want to, not because it is mandatory like recycling. Don’t you think adjustments would have been made immediately? Bottom line is something stinks in the recycling and composting programs in Princeton and those currently in change are doing little to clear the air. My questions are where’s Janet? And why isn’t she running the program anymore? Just one resident wondering out loud. BOB RABNER Christopher Drive Editor’s Note: After being shown the letter above, the mayor sent Town Topics the email in question. Dear Resident, I’m writing today with some good news and some bad news regarding our organics recycling program. The good news is that the municipality and a research team from Princeton University have been working together on an exciting initiative, funded by the Bloomberg Philanthropies, to bring Princeton’s food waste program to the next level. We are one of 35 national finalists and are waiting to hear whether we will receive up to $5M to build a local food waste composting facility. The bad news is that two weeks ago, we learned that Princeton’s composting bins contain too much prohibited material – mostly traditional plastic garbage bags and “compostable” utensils – to be accepted at the farm utilized by our hauler. Since being notified of this several months ago, the hauler has been taking Princeton’s material to the waste-to-energy incinerator in Tullytown, Pa., in Lower Bucks County. In working with the hauler to find a suitable location for our food waste, we identified a farm in Pottstown, Pa., and sent a trial delivery last week. However, this arrangement is at risk because of the number of plastic bags in last week’s trial delivery. Clearly, we need to do a better job working with our composters to improve the content of our food waste in order to keep this important program viable. Discussions continue with the Pottstown farm, and, with your help, we hope to demonstrate our food waste stream is clean enough to be a valuable resource. I regret that we did not learn about this situation sooner, so we could share information with you. We have spoken to the hauler and to Mercer County Improvement Authority, which oversees municipal waste handling, about improving communication so we are able to keep program participants fully informed. Our award-winning curbside compost program was the first in New Jersey. While it is exciting and rewarding to be a pioneer, the downside is that there are often bumps along the way to innovation. It is critical that we address the problem of contamination, so that our food waste can be recycled into a valuable soil enrichment, and so that other towns can benefit from our work on this critical environmental problem. Long term, we are working on a permanent and sustainable solution to build a model, local facility. The difficulties we’ve seen over the past few months reinforce that need. If we are unable to find a suitable solution, we would look to get a refund from our hauler and possibly close the program until we have the right system up and running. In the meantime, please do not place plastic items in the compost buckets! Use paper grocery bags and/or compostable bags with the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) seal on the box. These bags are available at McCaffreys, Whole Earth, Ace, and online. Keep all utensils out of your bins as well. Even utensils marked as compostable do not break down quickly enough and are not allowed. A full list of acceptable materials is posted on the municipal website. Thank you for your participation in this this program. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, my door is always open. LIZ LEMPERT Mayor
To the Editor: We were pleased to see coverage of the Princeton Civil Rights Commission on the front page of the September 5 issue of Town Topics [“Civil Rights Commission Seeks Improvements”]. Last night, the commission began reviewing Princeton Council’s recommendations for procedural changes as submitted by special subcommittee. This committee was appointed by the mayor and Council to review the commission’s first year and conflict resolution proceedings, as called for by guidelines, policies, and procedures adopted by resolution at the time of the commission’s reinstatement by ordinance. Our monthly commission meetings are the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room at Witherspoon Hall. During Council’s review period, the commission remained active, advising mayor and Council on matters involving bias and discrimination and fulfilling its education and outreach mission. We held know-your-rights workshops on tenant-landlord issues and worked with the Human Services Department to compile the Municipal Equality Index of Human Rights Campaign. We hosted two sessions at which Princeton Public Schools Superintendent Stephen Cochrane listened to community concerns and reported on the status of equity efforts in the schools. We are currently conducting study circles on these equity efforts in concert with the Superintendent Cochrane, students, educators, and community members. This month saw the beginning of the commission’s latest initiative, twice-monthly open office hours in Study Room 9 on the second floor of Princeton Public Library featuring our volunteer commissioners listening to community concerns and connecting residents with resources. The first session, on Monday, Sept. 10, at 7 p.m. featured volunteer commissioner Lewis Maltby, an attorney specializing in workplace discrimination. Upcoming sessions will be on Saturday, September 22, at 10 a.m. with former Princeton Board of Education member and co-chair of Committed and Faithful Princetonians Fern Spruill; on Monday, October 8, at 7 p.m. with union leader, president of Local 175 S.E.I.U. at Princeton University, longtime civil rights activist and commission chair Tommy Parker; on Saturday, October. 27, at 10 a.m. with minister and head of Christian Union James Fields; on Monday, November 5, at 7 p.m with ACLU-NJ board member, marketing and communications professional and commission vice chair Afsheen Shamsi; and on Saturday, November 17 at 10 a.m. with human resources professional Sarah Vania. We urge community members to avail themselves of the expertise of our volunteer commissioners and learn more about the work of the commission at our open office hours.

To the Editor: As executive director of the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA), I’m writing in response to the letter from John Haines in your September 12 edition [“Thoughts on Hiroshima Debate with Input from Paul Fussell”]. Responding to the earlier letter from CFPA Assistant Director Niki VanAller, Mr. Haines characterized her assertion that “Iran has no nuclear weapons to date” as among her “serial misstatements.” He then goes on to list alleged actions by Iran that he finds troubling, but in fact never refutes Ms. VanAller’s statement. That might be because it’s not refutable. As part of the Iran Nuclear Agreement reached in 2015, the International Atomic Energy Agency has conducted the most stringent nuclear verification regime in history. They have not only repeatedly certified that Iran has no nuclear weapons, but also that it doesn’t have enough nuclear weapon grade material to make even a single nuclear warhead. If that agreement is preserved, that would remain the case until at least 2025. I know of no reputable expert who disagrees with Ms. VanAller’s factual statement that Iran currently has no nuclear weapons. Ms. VanAller and I work closely with world class nuclear weapon experts, a number of whom are scientists at Princeton University. Thank goodness that Republican and Democratic presidents for over 50 years have rejected the kind of linkage to other issues that Mr. Haines expresses, and instead have pursued focused verifiable agreements restricting and reducing nuclear weapons. As a result, the U.S. and Russia have stopped nuclear weapon testing and reduced their nuclear arsenals by nearly 80 percent. One other assertion that the U.S. has over 7,000 total nuclear warheads was slightly outdated. The most recent number as of late June, according to reputable sources, is 6,550. However, under the rules of the START Treaties, that counts each U.S. strategic bomber as carrying just one warhead, when they could carry up to 20. The smaller figure cited by Mr. Haines is the number of strategic (long range) deployed warheads. The 6,550 number includes tactical (short range) warheads, as well as those held in reserve, in storage, and awaiting dismantlement. If needed, the latter three categories could be quickly re-deployed, and the U.S. would have about 7,000 deliverable nuclear weapons. Finally, Mr. Haines speculates how many U.S. soldiers might have been killed without the atomic bombings. I therefore close with my following quote included in the press release for our annual commemoration each year: “The purpose of these commemorations is not to look back with 20-20 hindsight to question whether the atomic bombings in 1945 were justified. What’s done is done. Rather, our reason for having these commemorations is to remember the absolute horror that nuclear weapons represent, and the real and growing threat they present today.” THE REV. ROBERT MOORE Executive Director Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action
Supporting Candidacies of Eve Niedergang, Dwaine Williamson for Princeton Council
To the Editor: We are writing in support of the candidacies of Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson for Princeton Council. Seeing “A Princeton for All” at the top of their campaign literature speaks most strongly to us and our concerns about nurturing Princeton as a community whose citizens value equity and fairness. That Dwaine and Eve are campaigning for a Princeton that is welcoming and inclusive, fiscally responsible, affordable, and sustainable demonstrates their understanding that while a balance among competing points of view must be achieved, all voices must be heard, in particular those who have historically been ignored. They have demonstrated their commitment in some of their chosen activities — for example, Eve in her work as PTO co-president to expand access to after-school and enrichment programs for all children, regardless of ability to pay, and Dwaine in his volunteer capacity with Committed and Faithful Princetonians, our social and academic mentoring group for local youth. Once elected to Council, Dwaine and Eve will have even more opportunities to support and implement programs for a Princeton where pride in diversity prevails. Please vote for Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson for Princeton Council on November 6. FERN AND LARRY SPRUILL Oak Lane

BOOK REVIEW
W.H. Auden and Leonard Bernstein in “The Age of Anxiety” It’s never very pleasant in the morning to open The New York Times —W.H. Auden (1907-1973) uden was speaking in the fall of 1972, a year before he died in Vienna on September 28, 1973. One source of unpleasantness at that moment in history was Richard Nixon, who was into the before -the -fall fall of his second term. In mid-September 2018 opening the Times is like the first jarring swallow of a cup of gruesomely strong coffee you can’t stop drinking. Every morning you feel small stirrings of hope that the taste will mellow down to something closer to the Obama latte flavor you fondly like to think it used to have. Ever y morning it’s the same ordeal, with just a hint of the the addictive richness of false hope before the super-caffeinated reality hits you. B et ween July 1944 and November 1946 when Auden was writing The Age of Anxiety (1947), his feelings about opening the Times every morning might have been expressed less politely, more i n t he tone of t he p o em’s prolo g ue about the breaking down of “the historical process” in war-time when “everybody is reduced to the anxious status of a shady character or a displaced person” and “even the most pr udent become worshippers of chance.” Bernstein on the Wave Seven decades later I’m in the kitchen rinsing the dinner dishes and listening to W WFM on the Bose Wave when an announcer mentions “The Age of Anxiet y.” He’s referring to the intr iguing piece of music that was playing when I turned on the radio. It’s an orchestral work from the 20th century featuring a pianist playing hard, fast, frenzied rhy thms suggestive not of anxiety so much as of some counter-force, like the urban energy of a night club where dancers are frantically “tr ipping the light fantastic” to distract themselves from impending doom. I’m glad to hear it’s by Leonard Bernstein, since 2018 is his centennial, and my connection with his music doesn’t go much beyond the songs from West Side Story. The same could be said about my knowledge of W.H. Auden’s poet r y, wh ich u nt i l a few days ago was confined to anthology pieces like “September 1, 1939,” a poem he has disavowed. “Fascinating and Hair-Raising” The most succinct summation of Age of Anxiety I’ve found is Glyn Maxwell’s article in the April 9, 2010 Guardian, which begins by pairing a quote from T.S. Eliot (Auden’s “best work to date”) with one in the Times Literary Supplement ( “his one dull book, his one failure” ) . T he strangers who meet each other in a New York bar are “Malin, a
A
Canadian airman; Quant, a world-weary clerk; Rosetta, a buyer for a department-store; and Emble, a young naval recr u it. O ver si x s ec t ions — a pro logue, a life-story [“The Seven Ages”], a dream - quest [ “T he Seven Stages” ] , a dirge, a masque, and an epilog ue — they meditate on their lives, their hopes, their losses, and on the human condition. In real terms they get talking at the bar, grab a booth together, get plastered and stagger back to Rosetta’s place. There they drink some more and dance a bit until the two older gents drift home and the younger one pledges undying love to Rosetta before crashing out on her bed.” Bernstein found the work any thing but dull. In his program note for the debut performance of “The Age of Anxie t y, S y m p h o n y No. 2” on Apr il 8 , 19 4 9, w i t h the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bernstein’s mentor S erge Kous s e v it z k y, w it h Bernstein himself playing the piano solo, he says that “A u d e n’s f a s c i nating and hairr a i s i n g E cl o g u e had already be gun to affect me lyrically when I first read it in the summer of 1947.” Fr o m that moment, the composition of the work it inspired took on “an almost compulsive qualit y,” with the conception emerging f r o m h i s “e xt re m e p er s ona l ide nt if ic at ion” w it h the poem. Compatibility New to both works, I read the poem while listening to the music, and found the two so compatible it seemed possible that Auden had written The Age of An xiet y af ter l is te n i ng to B er n stein’s s y mphony ( Auden repor ted ly thought they had nothing to do w ith one another). A photo of the two men accompanying the YouTube posting of the original 1950 Columbia recording shows them with what appears to be the score spread out in front of them. Both are in suits and ties and smoking, Auden holding his cigarette Bette-Davis st yle and looking hard at Ber nstein, who’s staring back as if to say, “You’re
telling me my music has nothing to do enon” is “the way in which our faith in with your poem? ” other selves, normally rather wobbly, In fact t he compat ibilit y is almost is greatly strengthened and receives … eer ie, especially if you read cer tain the most startling justifications.” passages aloud more or less in accord Agents of Anxiety with the movement in question. Take Some “startling justifications” occur “The Seven Ages,” which is where the early on when ever yone is still sober fo u r s t r a n g e r s “g e t p l a s te r e d .” It’s listening to news on the radio and absurely not a stretch to say that Ber- sorbing agents of anxiet y like “night nstein would have been responsive to raids, fires, fanatical Na zis, heroic the moment when Rosetta puts a nickel marines, Axis excesses.” It’s actually in the “Wallomatic,” selecting “a sad the radio that brings the four strangers little tune The Case is Closed (Tchai- together: “And when in conclusion the kovsky -Fink),” which she softly sings instrument said — Buy a bond.

U.S. history and civics will be taught, and basic English necessary for the interview will be reviewed. The separation of powers as set up in the Constitution to provide a system of checks and balances, as well as the rule of law, will be discussed as part of the preparation for the test given by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. An immigration attorney will be visiting the classes to provide an overview of what to expect, as well as to answer questions. The classes will meet Wednesday evenings from 7-8:30 p.m. in the library, for six weeks in October and November. Registration will take place at the first session on October 3 in the Conference Room on the second floor of the library.

“CORN SNAKE”: This painting by Andrew Lee is the Mercer County winner of the 13th annual “Species on the Edge” contest, in which nature art and essays on New Jersey’s threatened and endangered species were created by fifth grade students from across the state. The exhibit runs through October 12 in the Olivia Rainbow Gallery in D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center in Princeton.
“Species On the Edge” At D&R Greenway
D&R Greenway and Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey host “Species on the Edge,” through October 12 at The Olivia Rainbow Gallery in D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center, One Preser vation Place, Princeton. Nature art and essays on New Jersey’s more than 80 threatened and endangered species were created by fifth-grade students across the state. Their work evidences intensive study and arresting talent. For this 13th annual contest, over 2,500 entries were juried. Since 2003, over 12,000 New Jersey children have participated. Mercer County’s winner is a twined Pine Barrens Corn Snake by Andrew Lee. The vesper sparrow in flight is depicted against its farmfield habitat by Rachel Song for Middlesex County. Hunterdon’s Laura Haines presents a short-eared owl. A bog turtle chooses between land and water for Somerset County artist Parinita Chandrashekar. The American bald eagle takes wing for Monmouth County’s Angelina Santapaola. Conser ve Wildlife NJ’s annual contest encourages students to become wildlife biologists through research, artwork, and writing. Conserve Wildlife reports that “they learn about local environmental issues, express their own concerns for the world around them, think creatively about ways to improve it, and consider how their actions impact the natural world.” “These talented children poured their hear ts into our contest. They created vibrant artwork and passionate essays on these rare wildlife species,” said David Wheeler, Conserve Wildlife Foundation executive direc-
tor. “We are inspired to help connect the next generation of New Jersey conservation leaders with the natural world around them. Their art and essays illustrate the wonders of nature — revealing many of the challenges we must overcome to help vulnerable wildlife survive in our densely-populated state.” The Olivia Rainbow Gallery is named for and funded in memory of Olivia Kuenne. Exhibits honor her outgoing spirit and love of nature and art. Hours are 9:30 a.m. through 5 p.m. weekdays. Free admission. For more information, call (609) 924 - 4646 or visit w w w. drgreenway.org.

“Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit” At MCCC Gallery
The Galler y at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) puts its own faculty in the spotlight for the “2018 MCCC Visual Arts Faculty Exhibit.” The show runs through Thursday, October 4. The community is invited to a reception on Wednesday, September 19
from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The Gallery is located on the second floor of the Communications Building on the college’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. The show will feature approximately 20 works by the college’s full-time and adjunct visual arts faculty m e mb e r s. A l l e x h ibite d work is current, produced in the last two years, and portrays the range of styles and formats present among MCCC’s diverse faculty. Recent shows have included artworks in oil painting, watercolor, ceramics, photography, digital design, interactive technology, sculpture, installation, and more. Among the participating faculty members are Emily Buchalski, Ryann Casey, Michael Chovan-Dalton, Lucas Kelly, Tina LaPlaca, Paul Mordetsky, Kerri O’Neill, Lauren Rabinowitz, Kyle Stevenson, Michael Welliver, and Mauro Zamora. Ac c or d i n g to M CCC ’s new galler y director, Alice Thompson, the faculty show is an opportunity for students to view their professors through a different lens. “Through this exhibit, students are able to make connections between the art and practices about which they are learning, and the art their professors are creating. This insight into professors’ studio practices, as well as how they choose to respond to contemporary culture, ultimately informs and enriches the curriculum for MCCC students.” Gallery hours for this show are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, visit www.mccc.edu /gallery or www.facebook.com/MCCCgallery.

The exhibition showcas es 40 paint ings from Beck ’s most recent work: images of New York, Maine, and the Bucks County area. An archetype is a thing or behavior we recognize as a unique “type,” and the term fits the artist as well as the art. Beck has been giving us a good look at ourselves in his distinctive way for a quarter of a century. There is an observation about being human at the core of his paintings. Known for presenting a wide range of subjects, genres, and experiences in his images, Beck shares what he has discovered in each. “I’m an acute obser ver,” he says. “My subjects aren’t just what I see — they are what I learn. I paint in a language of shared experience because I’m portraying an encounter.” “My subjects are not static moments. Viewers should sense a before and after —

Artworks Trenton will host a Non-Gala 2018 fundraiser on Saturday, September 29 to raise funds for its free adult and youth art programming. The event will feature many of the musicians and artists who were scheduled to appear at June’s Art All Night. Organizers hope the event will provide some closure and help reclaim the 24-hour art festival, which was marred by gun violence. “Artworks is moving ahead with all of our programs which benefit Trenton residents of all ages and connect them with neighboring communities,” said Lauren Otis, Artworks Trenton executive director. “After the tragedy that occurred at Art All Night, we are resolved not to falter. Art All Night will be back. Funds we raise at our Non-Gala will help us rebuild Art All Night, and ensure that Artworks can continue to offer free arts programming to the Trenton community all year long.” The fundraiser was originally planned as a sit-down affair, but was put on hold after the tragic event at Art All Night. The Ar t works board decided to press on
with the fundraiser as a NonGala after the overwhelming outpouring of support and encouragement towards Artworks from members of the Artworks Trenton and Art All Night communities. “What occurred at Art All Night was devastating, for all of us who worked so hard to make the event a harmonious success over the years, and for all the artists and attendees who participated ever y year,” said Joseph Kuzemka, Art All Night director. “The Non-Gala gives me, and many others, the chance to move forward, to complete many activities that were cut short, and to help support Artworks, one of Trenton’s great assets.” The fundraiser will be held from 6-10 p.m. Saturday, September 29 at Artworks Trenton, 19 Everett Alley, Trenton. It will feature live mural painting, bike art, food tr ucks, music, and other activities that were cut short at Art All Night. T icke t s are $75. Ever y $75 ticket sold will result in $150 going to Artworks programming, thanks to a 100 percent matching gift. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www. artworkstrenton.org.

n exquisite new stage adaptation of The Age of Innocence opened September 15 at McCarter. In adapting Edith Wharton’s 1920 novel, which in 1921 made her the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, playwright Douglas McGrath honors its literary intent. However, he skillfully edits it to heighten its power as a piece of theater. As pianist Yan Li plays the pensive opening notes of the incidental score by Mark Bennett, an Older Gentleman of the 1920s enters. He describes New York in the 1870s — the Gilded “Age” that gives the novel its ironic title — as a place where elite society brings rigid social conventions. At the Academy of Music — which is the preeminent place to see an opera, as the Metropolitan on 39th Street is still under construction — an older woman, Mrs. Manson Mingott, is seated in a box with other female members of her family, including the Countess Ellen Olenska. In another box, Larry Lefferts explains to other young men of New York’s elite that the countess left her New York City family to marry a count in Europe, then left the count for his secretary. Lefferts adds that the affair did not last, and Ellen was brought back to New York by her aunt, Lovell Mingott. Newland Archer, a lawyer, abruptly reprimands Larry and the other men for gossiping about the women. The Old Gentleman reveals that he is Newland, and that he objected to the discussion because the countess was a cousin of May Welland, his fiancée. He breaks the fourth wall to have May turn and face the audience. In the novel, the older Newland does not appear until late in the story, but his appearance at the beginning, one of McGrath’s inventive alterations, is an effective bookend. It sets the scene for the audience, and establishes the ensuing series of events as a detailed memory. As such, the decision to present the show without an intermission is wise. A break would be disruptive. Newland visits May in the ladies’ box, to beg her to announce their engagement at a ball that will be hosted by Julius Beaufort. May introduces Newland and Ellen, who have not seen each other since childhood. Later, they meet at a dinner party that has been planned by Mrs. Welland and Mrs. Mingott, in an effort to repair Ellen’s reputation (all of the invitations to a previ-
ous dinner for her were declined). Newland is startled by her boldness in moving away from other men, to talk to him and openly discuss her failed marriage. One morning soon after that, Newland arrives late for work at the law office, and explains that ordering lilies-of-the-valley for May took longer than usual. Ellen wishes to divorce the count, and Newland is assigned to her case. Her family objects to a divorce, and wants Newland to represent her so that the case will remain a family secret. Newland visits Ellen, in an effort to persuade her to avoid the social calamity that would result from filing for a divorce. She reluctantly agrees; he offers her a comforting touch. She performs a parlor song (by Stephen Foster), “Beautiful Dreamer,” and asks Newland to sing with her. As a gift, she offers him the music. He accepts the printed score, which briefly becomes a source of physical connection. Newland and May eventually marry, but their relationship is emotionally distant. At one point Newland asks May to sing “Beautiful Dreamer.” Performing the song makes May uncomfortable, and she stops. Newland finishes it by himself, adding to the tension. The interpolation of “Beautiful Dreamer” is one of the show’s seamless additions to the story. Music plays an integral role in the novel, as exemplified by the opera
“THE AGE OF INNOCENCE”: Performances are underway for “The Age of Innocence.” Directed by Doug Hughes, the play runs through October 7 at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre. An Old Gentleman (Boyd Gaines, far left) looks on as Newland Archer (Andrew Veenstra, left) and Countess Ellen Olenska (Sierra Boggess) face the conflict between their love, and their responsibility to their families — and to society in 1870s New York.

setting, but here it becomes a symbol for intimacy — lacking in Newland’s relationship with May; present, but inappropriate, with Ellen. Serendipitously the Foster song is in triple meter, making it blend in with Bennett’s score, which includes a waltz. Throughout the play Bennett’s music, in tandem with Ben Stanton’s lighting, heightens emotional moments and demarcates transitions between scenes. Peter Pucci’s choreography for the waltz is eye-filling, and gracefully performed by the ensemble. However, Doug Hughes’ direction also is choreographic. The staging makes deliberate use of space, and the actors are economical in their choices of body language, so that every bit of movement is significant. Sierra Boggess, who portrays Ellen, is well suited to a drama set in the late 19th century, having played Christine in The Phantom of the Opera and its sequel, Love Never Dies. With her rich soprano, Boggess gives “Beautiful Dreamer” an expressive performance, infusing it with the emotional power it requires. In contrast to Boggess’ natural, often impassioned tone of voice and comparatively gregarious body language, Helen Cespedes infuses May with a silvery voice and inflections that usually are stylized. Like many of the other characters, she sits with her hands folded, evincing the prim

attitude typical of the society in which she is immersed. As the older Newland, Boyd Gaines is given some of the best one-liners — he drily describes New York City as a place where the sun “rises on the east side” — which he delivers with a mixture of asperity and regret. It is with body language, however, that he reveals the most about the character. As he wistfully watches his younger self interact with May and Ellen, he often keeps his hands behind his back; when he lets them be seen, they sometimes shake. Andrew Veenstra is equally adept at conveying the younger Newland’s conflict between his affection for May and his budding passion for Ellen. There is an astute bit of staging in which both Newlands cross the stage to look at the same bouquet of flowers. Darrie Lawrence and Josh Salt are entertaining in their respective roles of Mrs. Mingott and a carefree French tutor, Monsieur Riviere. Both characters make choices that are at odds with society, and are given a comparatively relaxed posture to contrast with the reserved demeanor of most of the other characters. The period costumes by Linda Cho illustrate the dynamics between the characters. The innocent (though not naïve) May wears white, while the worldly Ellen wears black. The younger Newland wears black and white, which reflects his feelings for both women. Tellingly, the older Newland wears gray, a mixture of those colors. The palette is brightened by a pink dress for Mrs. Mingott. Cho’s costumes, and Hughes’ stylized staging, work with Stanton’s lighting to create the effect of placing the characters in a painting. The predominant theme is constraint. Ellen is constrained by her past, May by her inability to change, and Newland by his difficulty in choosing between his feelings and his sense of propriety. This theme is developed by John Lee Beatty’s set, through its ubiquitous window grilles. Despite its elegance, the ballroom resembles a cage. his unity of script and staging is the result of consistently meticulous choices by the talented cast and creative team. McGrath’s thoughtful adaptation provides his collaborators with ample scope to create a series of poignant, ravishing tableaux. —Donald H. Sanborn III

On Wednesday, September 26 at 7 p.m., in partnership with the Princeton Public Library, Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) presents a multi-media presentation exploring Leonard Bernstein’s ground-breaking music directorship and legacy at the New York Philharmonic. N Y Philharmonic Archives Manager Gabryel Smith will give the talk, placing special emphasis on the Bernstein treasures found in the Philharmonic’s archival collections. Bernstein was appointed assistant conductor of the New York Ph il har mon ic O rch e s t r a i n 1943. H e made his famous conducting debut when guest conductor Bruno Walter came down with the flu. The concert was broadcast nationally on CBS Radio, and the next day, The New York Times carried the story on its front page. Bernstein was then invited to appear as a guest conductor with many U.S. orchestras. He was named the music director of the New York Philharmonic in 1957, replacing Dimitri Mitropoulos. He began his tenure in that position in 1958, and remained until 1969. The presentation is an accompaniment to the PSO’s A Bernstein Celebration concert with performances on September 29 and 30.

In the first half of the program, Boheme presents Bernstein’s one-act opera, Trouble in Tahiti.

Set in contemporary times, it portrays a married couple in a deteriorating relationship. In his story and music, Bernstein pokes fun at the myth of ideal suburban life and American popular culture. The second portion of the program features selections from Bernstein’s opera Candide, his Mass, and excerpts from his iconic Broadway show West Side Story.

ing upon how she developed an interest in comedy at an early age while growing up in Detroit. “Because I’m not a perfect example of my gender, I decided to be funny about what I didn’t have.“ she explained. She majored in theater at the University of Michigan and dropped out to follow her boyfriend to Canada. There, she joined Toronto’s Second City comedy troupe, where she described improv comedy as being like a circus performer working without a net. Gilda eventually landed her big break on NBC’s groundbreaking SNL show in New York. She described each episode as “an opening night of an under-rehearsed Broadway play.” The movie, which opens in theaters this Friday, September 21, is a fond tribute to a much-beloved comedy icon.

New Look for an Old Favorite as Joe Canal’s Renovates in Order to Offer More Great Tastes
J
oe Canal’s, the popular discount liquor outlet, has a new look! It has undergone a major renovation offering more open space, wider aisles, more convenient accessibilit y, new lighting, and easier checkout options. “We’ll be open for 17 years this November. We felt it was time for an upgrade, as the store was beginning to look dated,” says Mark Hutchinson, managing partner of Birchfield Ventures, which owns Joe Canal’s. “Our focus is always to improve the shopping experience,” he continues. “We opened up the entry and made check-out easier. The additional space we created also enabled us to add more than 500 new wine, beer, and liquor items.”
IT’S NEW To Us
Since its opening in the Mercer Mall, Route 1 South in Lawrenceville in November, 2001, Joe Canal’s has been a mainstay for customers in the area. In addition, readers of Town Topics have voted it “Best Liquor Store” for two straight years. Best Staff Mark Hutchinson is very proud of the store’s success and attributes it to three main reasons. “We have a great location on Route 1, a high retail area. Second, our custom-
ers have been tremendously loyal, and third, we have the best staff in the liquor business. They are knowledgeable and helpful. When customers come in, they trust our recommendations. We can help guide your wine, liquor, and beer needs for all types of events, including weddings, graduations, barbecues, or dinner parties. We’ll give advice not only on the amount needed, but we’ll make appropriate recommendations for food and wine pairings.” Indeed, whether the event is a cocktail party for 25, a dinner for six, or a wedding reception for hundreds, Joe Canal’s will provide the necessary advice, professional expertise, and quality products to make it an occasion to remember. Shoppers cer tainly ap preciate the shopping opportunities at the store. As one long-time area customer pointed out: “Joe Canal’s has a wonderful selection, it’s convenient, and has good prices. Why go anywhere else?” New products are essential to attract new customers, as trends are constantly changing, points out Hutchinson. “We try to stay ahead of the trends and play close attention to what our customers are looking for. “Our staff creates shelf talkers (notations on various bottles), which provide helpful information and their evaluations about many of the products.” Bottle Club In addit ion, cont inues
Hutchinson, “We created the Bottle Club, which is our loyalty program, offering additional discounts and which enables us to communicate weekly with our customers.” There is no charge to join, and this is very popular. To help customers further, an orange tag identifies which bottles are discounted. As in most businesses, trends come and go, and this is true in the liquor business as well, he explains. “Craft beer has experienced an uptick in recent years, along with brown spirits, such as bourbon, scotch, and whiskey. In wine, rosé and sparkling have become hot categories nationally. “Also popular, especially in the summer, is the selection of Spiked Seltzers. And one of the newest trends now is wine in a can. With choices of red, white, and sparkling, this has became another big seller.” “Mix A Six” Whatever the customer’s choice, he — or she (Hutchinson reports that many of the shoppers are women) — will find an amazing selection at Joe Canal’s. Aisle after aisle of wines (arranged by country), then, all the spirits, including the aforementioned bourbon, scotch, and whiskey, and rows of gin, vodka, and rum, offer customers a comprehensive display. Beer is in a section all its own, with every possible option — from major players like Budweiser and Heineken to local craft brewers like Cape May to Kane. Not sure what you want? Joe Canal’s
BEST BEVERAGES: The staff at Joe Canal’s Discount Liquor Outlet in Lawrenceville is proud of the store’s new renovation, offering an even more convenient shopping experience for customers. Its excellent and comprehensive selection of wine, beer, and spirits and its knowledgeable staff have ensured the store’s success for nearly 17 years. “I am really thankful for business; the face-to-face offers a popular “Mix A Six” section in which customers our customers and that they interaction with customers can select six different beers continue to see Joe Canal’s remains a pleasure. as the ‘go to’ spot for their for easy sampling.

PU Football Routs Butler 50-7 in Opener, Executing Well in All Phases of the Game
A
s the Princeton University football team headed into its season opener last Saturday at Butler University, Bob Surace was cautiously optimistic. “It is always hard to predict; we are always going against each other but they have been so good in camp,” said Surace. “They have been focused, they have worked hard. They have done all the things right. It makes you feel good as a coach that they are going to be ready.” It didn’t take long for Surace to feel very good as senior star quarterback John Lovett returned with a bang after missing 2017 to injury, hitting classmate Jesper Horsted for a 63yard touchdown pass 26 seconds into the contest. “We script a lot of plays early on the game and I felt it was great that he came out and got the the two quick completions,” said Surace. “The second one was a touchdown on a deep ball to Jesper, that was really good.” That score set the tone for the day as the Tigers led 17-0 after the first quarter and built their advantage to 44-7 by halftime, never looking back on the way to a 50-7 triumph. “We score on the first drive, they kicked off to
us,” said Surace, whose team outgained the Bulldogs 540 yards to 239 with Lovett accounting for 177 yards passing (11-of-20) and 48 yards rushing. “We get a stop and then score. It just seemed like we had a nice thing going in the first two or three drives and then when you are up 17-0, you get a chance to keep rolling.” Senior running back C h a r l i e Vo l k e r r o l l e d through the Butler defense, gaining 162 yards rushing with two touchdowns “Charlie ran hard; he made some moves in space that were great to see,” said Surace. “I thought last year we were going to get that; he had an illness and he missed the opener against San Diego. His camp was so good last year and then he had a terrific year but I thought there was another level. You really saw it this training camp. He is ready to be a productive player and one of the better players.” Displaying pro level play at receiver, Horsted made seven catches for 140 yards and tow touchdowns. “We get match ups and he is just comfort for the quarterbacks,” said Surace of the 6’4, 225-pound Horsted, a two-time AllIvy League performer who
came now has 131 catches for 1,796 yards and 17 touchdowns in his Princeton career. “He gives the quarterbacks time and he did that on Saturday and we had a chance to make some big plays. On defense, Princeton came up with a slew of big plays, making three sacks with two recovered fumbles and holding the Bulldogs to 66 yards rushing. “We weren’t perfect by any means, but we did a lot of good things,” said Surace. “I was really happy with that.” Senior linebacker and team captain Mark Fossati led the charge, making a team-high seven tackles as he returned to action after being sidelined most of last season due to injury. “Fossati was so excited; it has almost been a year since he was able to go out there and play a game,” added Surace. “He really tackled well.” The Princeton defensive line also played very well, putting pressure on Butler all game long. “Jay Rolader, who missed the majority of last year, was in the backfield the entire game,” said Surace. “I thought the whole group did well. Sam Wright forced a fumble and Joey DeMarco recover a fumble. Mike Wagner was in the back-

field for a lot of the game. Matt Jester, a freshman, played well. He came on really strong at the end of camp, that was good to see for him.” T h e Ti g e r s e n j o y e d a good and quiet flight home from Indianapolis, Ind. “The guys were exhausted; I think everybody was asleep,” said Surace with a chuckle. “It is always nice to play with such energy and accomplish something that you set out to do during training camp. It is a good feeling for the guys.” Princeton will need to keep up the energy they host formidable Monmouth (2-1) this Saturday in the home opener. “They have tremendous offensive weapons; they put up yards every game, they put up points,” said Surace of the high-flying Hawks. “Their quarterback, their running backs, and their receivers are going to present the defense with a lot more athleticism. Schematically, they get after it. They really dominated their conference last year and went to the national playoffs. This is going to be another huge test. They are a very high quality team.” In the wake of the convincing win over Butler, Surace is optimistic that the Tigers will produce another high quality performance. “A lot of confidence comes from when we practice well and I thought we practiced well last week and it tends to show in the

Rickerson Taking Leading Role on Defense As PU Women’s Soccer Heads Into Ivy Play Lucy Rickerson is just a sophomore, but she stands out as the most battle-tested player on the back line for the Princeton University women’s soccer team. Last fall in her debut campaign, Rickerson made 17 appearances with 16 starts, earning Honorable-Mention All-Ivy League honors at defender as she played alongside senior stars Natalie Larkin, Mikaela Symanovich, and Katie PrattThompson. With the trio having graduated, Rickerson has assumed a leadership role despite her relative youth. “It was definitely a little intimidating at the beginning of the year because we weren’t sure what we were going to do. All three seniors that we graduated were amazing players and mentors to me,” said Rickerson, a native of San Diego, Calif. “It has been that transition from me being the freshman on a back line with seniors to having to step into that leader role, which is very humbling. I am very thankful that I get to do that. I hope we can just continue to grow; that is all we can do.” Last Sunday evening, the back line showed growth, holding the fort as the Tigers battled to a 0-0 draw through two overtimes against visiting Drexel, moving to 5-2-1 and earning their fifth shutout of the season. “I think we did a really good job this game; we got a shutout and they definitely had chances,” said Rickerson, who is being joined in the back by junior Olivia Sheppard, sophomore Emily Hilliard-Arce and sophomore Eve Hewins.
“Numbers four (Rachel Sharkey) and six (Shaelyn McCarty) for them were amazing players. The fact that we held them speaks a lot to how we have grown as a back line this year and people stepping up at those positions.” Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll liked the way his team stepped up in the second half after getting outshot 4-2 in the first half. “I thought we were a lot more proactive defensively in the second half,” said Driscoll, whose team had a 7-4 edge in shots over the last 45 minutes of regulation. “We made them work harder to get out of situations. We created a lot of turnovers in the middle third, we created some turnovers in the final third. We made the game more difficult for them and that was from a change in the intent of the defending, playing with more focus.” Driscoll credits Rickerson and Sheppard with displaying good focus in the middle of the Princeton defense. “Lucy and Olivia played every minute of the game today and they played every minute of the game against Georgetown (a 2-1 overtime loss on September 13); they are a good partnership,” said Driscoll, whose team has been yielding 0.75 goals a game this season. “Emily did well, Eve did well; they are all working supremely hard. They are still figuring things out back there because they are new playing together. We don’t give up many goals. It is a credit to them and credit to the players in front of them working hard to help.”
The Tigers need to produce better work around the goal. “We created better chances in the second half, I thought, than they did,” said Driscoll. “In the first overtime, I thought we were better. In the second overtime, I thought they were better. The plan was there; the execution was not as good as we would like but we kept the ball really well, we moved the ball, we generated chances. I think the reality is that we just need to get better in the final third. You have to give the maximum effort every second you are on the field from the first minute to the last.” With Princeton opening its Ivy League campaign at Yale (52-1) on September 22, Driscoll is confident he will get a big effort from his players. “It is a great group of kids, we have a lot of talent,” asserted Driscoll. “We move the ball very well in the middle third of the field, we move the ball very well out of the back. We just have to get better in the final third; that is our focus.” Rickerson, for her part, believes that the Tigers are primed to show their talent against the Bulldogs. “Every game we have grown a little bit, no matter the outcome, and we have learned a lot about ourselves so I personally feel very good going into this first game with Yale,” said Rickerson. “We know what we need to work on. We have been watching Yale’s games as well; it is going to be a great matchup. Yale is always a great opponent and all of the Ivy games have a different energy. I am excited to get into that. It is fun to play against schools who we have a lot of respect for and get to see every year.” —Bill Alden
Lifted by Neff’s Knack for Scoring Key Goals, No. 5 Princeton Field Hockey Improves to 5-2 With one college season under her belt, MaryKate Neff is developing a knack for being in the right place at the right time around the goal for the Princeton University field hockey team. “The way I like to play and the positions I get on the field helps me to find the last touch,” said sophomore midfielder Neff, a 5’7 native of Villanova, Pa. “Most of it comes from the other people on the ball finding the back post and me making those runs, trying to get there. On the corners, I am in a prime rebound spot to put it back in.” Against visiting Monmouth last Friday afternoon, Neff came through on a penalty corner in the first half, redirecting a hit from Maddie Bacskai into the cage to give Princeton a 2-0 lead. “Maddie was looking to score and I know she tends to go certain places, so I knew to put my stick in and hopefully I got a touch on it,” said Neff. The Tigers didn’t lose their finishing touch, pulling away to a 4-1 win over the Hawks. “We really try to have our corners be efficient and we have been practicing them a lot,” said Neff. “They kind of fell a little bit in our last games. I think today, they were executed better; even if we didn’t get them all first, we got the second rebound.” With so many returners from a 2017 squad that went undefeated in Ivy League play and advanced to the NCA A quar terfinals, the Tigers have been showing a greater efficiency this fall. “The core of our team is still the same from last year,” said Neff, who scored another goal last Sunday as No. 5 Princeton defeated 13th-ranked Delaware 4-2 and improved to 5-2. “It was just finding our identity and playing together a little more. I know where my
role is on the team and that helped me settle in.” Earning a spot on the U.S. Under-21 team this summer gave Neff the chance to sharpen her skills. “I had the opportunity to play in a bunch of different tryout tournaments,” said Neff. “Playing at that high level of hockey, playing with new coaching styles and new people helped me keep my game at a certain level and not to fall off, to keep skills and stay in shape. I had the opportunity to make the 21s, which is great.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Carla Tagliente likes the way Neff capitalizes on her chances around the goal. “MaryKate is one that is opportunistic; she gets her nose in there and rolls her sleeves up,” said Tagliente of Neff, who has three goals in Princeton’s last four games and now has a team-high four on the season. “She is a gritty player and has one of those engines that doesn’t stop. It is good and timely as well, when we need them.” While acknowledging that the Tigers could have been sharper against Monmouth, Tagliente still saw a lot of positives “A win is a win and it feels good; I would like us to be a little more opportunistic with the chances that we had,” said Tagliente. “Monmouth defends well, I think we had some nice goals tonight. Overall, we played nice hockey. We possessed the ball well; we were very close to executing on some more.” Freshman Ali McCarthy enjoyed a nice moment on Friday, tallying her first career goal. “That was helpful because I think she struggled out of the gate to get going; hopefully this is a boost to her confidence,” said Tagliente of McCarthy, who added an-
other goal in the win over Delaware on Sunday. “I think she had a nice game today; she almost broke open a couple more.” Senior star Sophia Tornetta has given the Tigers a big lift in the early going this season. “Sophia has gotten off to a good start; she has played extremely well all over the field,” said Tagliente of Tornetta, who has tallied three goals and two assists. “She has been a big bright spot for us so far; her confidence is super high.” Tagliente is confident that her squad’s best hockey is ahead of it. “We are play ing good hockey,” said Tagliente, whose team was slated to host No. 3 Maryland on September 18 before starting Ivy League play by hosting Dartmouth on September 22. “I don’t think we have played our best hockey yet, which is fine. We have room for growth. Their responsiveness to ‘take each game as it is and not look ahead’ has been good. I am happy with the potential that we have. We have done really well, but we have not quite hit our stride yet, especially in the attack end. So when that happens, it will be good.” Neff, for her part, senses that the Tigers are on their way to a very good season. “I think our team is rea l ly, re a l ly sp e cia l t h is year. There is something about the way we show up to practice, everybody has this energy and everybody is willing to put the work in,” asserted Neff. “Every single person on the team has the capability to play on the field and make an impact; everyone always gives 100 percent and it brings out the best in everyone. The attitude of everybody on the team is so positive. We are all genuinely like a family and that shows on the field.” —Bill Alden

One of the greatest athletes in Princeton history, Johnson won the C. Otto von Kienbusch and Cutino Awards during her senior season in 2017. She was the first player in Princeton women’s water polo history to be named first team All-America and third ever to be picked as All-American in each of her four seasons. Johnson, a native of Miami, Fla., finished her Princeton career with a 100-17 record, along with a school-record 1,362 saves and a .693 save percentage. She was a 19-
sive Player of the Week award winner, a four-time first-team all-conference player, and the CWPA Player of the Year.

Joining Masters on the medal stand was Tom George, who
sat in the four seat for a Canadian crew that edged the U.S. for the bronze medal by less than half a second. The U.S. crew, which featured both Pat Eble ‘16 and Glenn Ochal ‘08 fell just short of the medal stand, though the boat showed its potential with both an exciting final and a narrow win over Australia in its opening heat. Martin Barakso ‘16 raced in the Canadian men’s eight but the crew placed fourth in its repechage and missed the grand final. Both Margaret Bertasi ‘14 and Michaela Copenhaver ‘11 (formerly Glaezer) made a dramat ic r u n in t heir grand final as part of the U.S. women’s lightweight quadruple sculls. The American crew was in fifth place at the 1,000-meter mark, but it pushed past the Italians for fourth and set its sights on the medal stand. Although the U.S. gained on bronze medalist Germany in the final 500, the Americans couldn’t make up the complete deficit and finished a strong fourth in the final. Former heavyweight captain Nick Mead ‘17 competed in the U.S. men’s four, which finished just outside the top two in its repechage to miss out on the A/B semifinal. The crew bounced back strongly the rest of the week and won the C final by more than two seconds over France to finish 13th overall.

After getting called up to the Princeton High girls’ varsity soccer team last year as a freshman, Greta Bush has established herself as a key defender for the squad this fall. But last Saturday as PHS hosted Steinert, Bush demonstrated that her tenacious defense can lead to offense, lofting a volley for a goal to help the Little Tigers knot the game at 1-1 in the first half. “I didn’t realize I was going to get the ball from her; I was just fighting for the ball and I didn’t want to give up,” said Bush. “Finally I looked up and saw an open corner and I just shot it. I think it gave us a
boost of confidence.” Steinert, though, got a boost with a goal late in the first half to take a 2-1 lead at intermission. PHS generated some good chances in the second half but the Spartans ended up adding a late goal to win 3-1. “We definitely fought hard, but I just think we couldn’t finish the game,” said Bush, reflecting on the defeat. Bush almost didn’t finish the game as a hard collision midway through the second half sent her tumbling to the turf and then to the bench for treatment. “I deflected a ball and came in and we conjoined super hard and I kind of lost con-
sciousness a little bit and I felt like I was going to throw up,” recalled Bush. “Coach [Carlos] Salazar helped me out; I did not want want sit out.” Although PHS didn’t get the result it wanted, Bush believes that the experience will help the team in the long run. “They won sectionals last year so it is knowing that we can stand up to them and stay on their ground,” said Bush. Bush is on solid ground as she has become a full-time starter for PHS. “I really enjoy it; I love having the competition and playing against older people,” said Bush, who tallied another goal as PHS defeated Trenton Central 6-0 last Monday
to improve to 2-1-2. “I want to stand my ground and I want people to know that I can do something here. It is definitely confidence; I am putting myself in the right mindset. Everyone else is helping me out here, saying positive things and we are becoming good friends with the team bonding.” PHS head coach Val Rodriguez saw Bush’s goal as a big positive for the sophomore defender. “Greta needed that; she is a great player,” said Rodriguez. “She is very hard on herself and that goal was well-deserved.” In the view of Rodriguez, PHS deserved better over the last 40 minutes of the contest. “The second half was a great half of soccer,” said
Rodriguez. “They got one on us, but we had some really great chances. We had more possession.” While the defeat to the Spartans stung, Rodriguez believes that PHS has a chance to enjoy a big season. “We are young in terms of new starters on the field; we are learning and the name of the game is who’s alive in November, so that is the message to the team,” said Rodriguez. “We are working hard; we are getting through some obstacles and doing really well. We just have to understand that we can play with the best of the CVC. We graduated a great class last year, but we are back and we are strong. We have a lot to work on but we will be just fine this year.” Working as a unit is the key
to success this fall for the Little Tigers. “I am all about the team and that is what we are trying to build this year - the team effort,” said Rodriguez, whose squad hosts WW/PNorth on September 20 before playing at Allentown on September 24. “I could care less if our sweeper scores the goal or if our center forward scores it. The kids are getting that; they understand that the name on the front of the jersey is what matters.” Bush, for her part, feels that the Little Tigers are developing an understanding of where they can improve. “I really like how this is going,” said Bush. “We need to practice coming out shooting and working as a team. Good communication is always going to help us.” —Bill Alden

Although the Princeton High girls’ tennis team may not boast any superstars in its 2018 lineup, it possesses the depth and experience to maintain the program’s winning tradition. “We have a lot of seniors,” said PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert, noting that the roster includes six seniors with four currently in the starting lineup. “We want to send them out on a high note and we are hoping to have the best season we can.” One of those seniors, Sydney Vine, has moved into the first singles spot. “Sydney had great groundstrokes, she has a lot of power on her balls,” said Hibbert, whose team got off to a 2-1 start in dual match play this season. “She has a nice all-around game that she is willing to come up and put away volleys. We are glad to have her at the top of our lineup.” Hibbert is glad to have senior Caroline Tan at second singles. “Caroline has played in our doubles lineup for a couple of years,” said Hibbert. “She has got strong groundstrokes; she is willing to attack the net. Having been a doubles player, she is comfortable at the net. There is some adjustment going from double to being a singles player.” There is a comfort level for PHS with junior Nicole Samios returning at third singles. “She was third singles last year as well,” said Hibbert.

“Nicole is steady; she had a good season for us.” At first doubles, Hibbert is hoping that the combination for freshman Bella Lependorf and senior Jordan Johnson will have a good season. “Bella comes in with a really solid game; she has the potential to be a tremendous player for us, now and in the future,” said Hibbert. “She has a lot of singles experience; doubles is a little bit new for her but she is settling in really nicely. She is learning the doubles tactics. Jordan has been towards the top of JV in the past. She has improved her consistency and her overall game. They complemented each other nicely during preseason.” The pair of senior Adriana Todorov and junior Sora Sato are back at second doubles after enjoying a 20-1 campaign in 2017. “It is nice to have them
back. Hopefully they will be able to duplicate the success that they had last year,” said Hibbert, noting that seniors Sara Khanna and Isabelle Normandin have also seen match time at second doubles so far this season. “I know what their potential is. They are battle-tested and came through last year in some tough situations.” T h e L it t l e T i g e r s w i l l be in for a tough battle as they start play in the Mercer County Tournament on September 24 at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. “It should be an interesting tournament as always,” said Hibbert, noting that defending champion Hightstown, W W/P-North, and W W/PSouth are all formidable squads. “Depending on the draw and if everyone plays well, we definitely have a shot to be in the mix.” —Bill Alden

Gwen Allen and her teammates on the Princeton Day School field hockey team were a bit frustrated as their battle with local rival Stuart Country Day School headed into overtime last Thursday. “I feel like we should have scored earlier on; we had a lot more opportunities than they did and we had great offensive sequences,” said Allen. “We felt like we were playing well, we just weren’t able to finish it. It was ‘let’s just close it out.’” After coming to the bench for a brief rest during the overtime, Allen returned to the contest and finished it off, tallying a goal with 3:36 left in the extra session to give PDS a 2-1 win as it improved to 3-0. “When I went back in, Val [Radvany] had the ball at midfield and there was nobody in front and I got it and it was a one versus two,” said Allen. “I tried to get close to the circle and my first shot was bad, but Lyla Allen (not Gwen’s sister) got the rebound and passed it to me. It was a weird shot; it kind of trickled in.” While the shot may not have been a thing of beauty, the result was heartening for PDS. “It was really exciting. It was definitely a relief,” said Allen. “Most of all, I was really proud of my team. It was the first time we have gone to overtime and we have a really young team with a lot of freshman. I was proud of everyone for sticking with it.”
Allen credited the Stuart defense with making PDS work overtime. “They were good at getting out quickly and finding the girl in the middle and distributing it out, but for the most part we had possession, which was awesome,” said Allen. In Allen’s view, the team’s 3-0 start has been awesome if a little unexpected. “After the preseason, I was a little worried; we lost a lot of really good players and starters from last year,” said Allen. “We have a super young te a m . T h e A l l e n t w i n s (freshmen Lyla and Emily) have really been helping; they are super athletic and in shape. They are a huge help, and the other younger players are all stepping up and doing well. We had some players who were on JV last year and got bumped up to varsity and they have been great.” The trio of senior stars Allen, Radvany, and Sasha Sindhwani looking to help the younger players feel comfortable on the varsity. “We are really close; it has been us three since freshman year, so we are super excited to be able to lead the team together,” said Allen. “It is a good dynamic; we have good communication. We all agree on leadership style and how we do things. It is fun to be captains with Val and Sasha.” PDS head coach Heather Farlow had fun seeing Allen come through with the game-winning tally.
“We were talking to Gwen; we wanted her to shoot more at the top of the circle,” said Farlow. “During the game, we were telling her you have got to yell that you are wide open and stuff. We finally got her the ball; it was good.” The Panthers played some good hockey against the Tartans. “I knew that we wanted to play a passing game; I felt that we really did control possession most of the game,” said Farlow, who also got a goal from Sindhwani on a first half penalty stroke. “They had some good defensive plays; they were tough.” Surviving the extra session was a good step forward early in the season for PDS. “It points out some strengths and weaknesses; it is good competition,” said Farlow, whose team hosts Blair Academy on September 22 and Peddie School on September 25. “We just want to keep moving forward, we have done some nice things. We have executed what we have practiced but we just need to keep putting it together.” Allen, for her part, believes that the Panthers need to sharpen up on their execution around goal. “I think next week we are definitely going to be working on fitness and finishing on attack,” said Allen. “It will be moving and shooting and how to get around the defense and the goalie. Circle attack will be the focus.” —Bill Alden
Asch Taking the Helm of PDS Girls’ Tennis, Bringing an Emphasis on Skills Development Upon taking the helm of the Princeton Day School girls’ tennis team this fall, Will Asch is utilizing his teaching acumen along with an extensive background in the game. “I am trying to help all of the kids develop their games,” said PDS head coach Asch, a longtime math teacher at PDS who has been coaching the boys’ team at the school since 1999 and was a high school tennis star. “It is an interesting team because there are no finished players on the team, which is probably true of most teams. I see a lot of things and the season is short.” So far, Asch is seeing good things from freshman Robyn Karchere-Sun at first singles. “Roby n h as e xc el l e nt groundstrokes; she is a tough competitor and hits the ball very deep,” said Asch, who is succeeding Ed Tseng as the coach of the team. “She is going to improve a lot and by the time she is a senior, she is going to be a very good player.” At second singles, sophomore Hannah Van Dusen is showing improvement. “Hannah is a very good competitor and she doesn’t make a lot of mistakes,” said Asch. Another good competitor for the Panthers is junior Grace Marshall, who is playing at third singles this fall after holding down the top spot in 2017. “Grace is a big hitter and is a very strong girl,” added Asch. “She is very tough mentally; I think that goes a long way.”
At first doubles, Asch has paired senior Giulia Gerschel, who won the Mercer County Tournament second doubles title last fall with the nowgraduated Emma Dries, with sophomore Hayden Masia. “Giulia is good; she has improved just over the few weeks we have been playing,” said Asch. “She is really excited about being the leader of the team; she has done a good job with it. She is playing with Hayden, who is more of a bigger hitter. Hayden is a good baseline player and I am trying to help her with her court positioning.” Asch is hoping that two new faces in the varsity lineup, junior Zaiya Gandhi and sophomore Gabrielle Namouni,
will come through at second doubles. “Zaiya is a good player; she is a little inconsistent but at times she is very good,” said Asch. “There are times she looks like she is a world beater. I have her with Gabrielle. She is a dancer and is very athletic. I am trying to help her develop her strokes.” With the Mercer County Tour nament star ting on September 24 at the Mercer County Park tennis complex, Asch believes his squad will continue to display its development. “We do have nice chemistry and I think the girls really want to do well,” said Asch, whose team is 1-1 in dual match play this season. “You want to make a big difference in their tennis games and you do your best.” —Bill Alden

Miriam Lipschutz Yevick August 28,1924 — September 5, 2018 Miriam Yevick, 94, was born August 28, 1924 in Schereningen, The Netherlands. She arrived in New York in 1940 after escaping from Antwerp just ahead of invading Nazis along with her immediate family. Her father, Max Lipschutz, was a prominent diamond merchant in Europe and he continued his trade for the next 50 years in New York City. Miriam went on to attend university and became one of the first women to obtain a Ph.D. at MIT in mathematics.

Angela Chang Angela Chang, 80, of Princeton passed away on Sunday, September 16, 2018 at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center of Plainsboro. Born in Liuzhou, China, Angela was a resident of Princeton, New Jersey for over 35 years. Angela grew up in post-war Taiwan, struggling for higher education and facing many financial challenges. After winning a college prose contest, she was granted a scholarship to attend Providence College in Taiwan. Her academic achievements in college
helped her to win another scholarship from Ball State University in Indiana, where she received an MA in English and Education. After spending years teaching English and Chinese language, her love of food and entertaining inspired her to change her profession to the culinary field. She sought to promote awareness of Chinese food and culture in America through her writing. Angela authored four cookbooks: Delicious Tofu (English), The Intriguing World of Chinese Home Cooking (English), Chinese Home Entertaining (bi-lingual), and A World of Desserts (Chinese). Additionally, she wrote numerous food articles for a Taiwanese food magazine, a leading Chinese newspaper in the United States, and several local New Jersey newspapers. Angela became a sought-after personality in a multitude of food-related activities. She was the coordinator of several New York-based tofu festivals and a judge for numerous gourmet tofu contests in the Chinese community. Angela grew up in a large close-knit family which cultivated an outgoing personality and a generous spirit. She donated her time and efforts to various local charities. One charity she was particularly fond of was the Crawford House, a rehabilitation center for women with emotional issues. Daughter of the late Zhong Pei and Bing Yi Tan, she is survived by her husband Humphrey H.J. Chang, son and daughter-in-law Raymond and Carol Chang, and two grandchildren Madeline and Zachary. The funeral service will be
held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 22, 2018 at the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home at 40 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton, NJ. The burial will be private. Friends may call on Saturday beginning at 2 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made in Angela’s memory to Daytop New Jersey at Crawford House, 362 Sunset Road, Skillman, NJ 08558 and Princeton Friends of Opera, PO Box 2359, Princeton, NJ 08543.

THE HOME APPRAISAL: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW The home appraisal is done by a licensed and independent party to determine the fair market value of your home. There are several components the Appraiser uses to determine value including: • • • • •
Current market trends Location and type of house Recent sales of comparable homes in the area Condition of the home Improvements made
You may be asking, “How do I prepare for the Appraisers visit?” It is a good idea to have home tidy. Be sure that all equipment in the home is in working order. Create a list of home improvements that you have done to your home. The Appraiser may ask for dates and cost of improvements; be sure that information is included on the list. Most importantly, make sure your Realtor provides the Appraiser with the current comps. Appraisals cost between $300-$500 and are typically paid for by the buyer.
