ast week Dan Aubrey introduced readers to Elizabeth Sheldon, the Princeton-based founder of Juno Films, whose documentary, “Radium Girls,” is premiering through the Garden Theater’s virtual screening program on Friday, November 13.

It is not the only film with regional connections making its debut that evening. At 7 p.m. the theater offers a livestream on its website of “Voices: The Eden Story — 45 Years of Family,” a new documentary celebrating the 45th anniversary of Eden Autism Services in Plainsboro.

The documentary explores Eden’s origins as well as the evolution of autism services. In 1975 a small group of parents came together in search of a better education for their children with autism.

The film chronicles how a class held in a Princeton church basement grew into a leading provider of autism services. Together with the Princeton community, Eden’s founding families and staff helped advance autism services beyond education into employment opportunities and residential services.

The film, funded by a grant from a generous donor, was created by Tony Stewart of StewartFilms, who collected 35 hours of interviews and archival footage, and scanned and digitized more than 2,000 photos, slides, and documents.

The livestream is free and is followed by a question-and-answer U.S. 1 WELCOMES letters to the editor, corrections, and criticisms of our stories and columns. E-mail your thoughts directly to our editor: hastings@princetoninfo. com.

A

n executive order issued by Governor Phil Murphy on October 28 created a new set of safety rules for workplaces operating amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The new restrictions took effect November 6.

Murphy cited federal inaction as the impetus for issuing the new order, saying in a statement, “The federal government has failed to provide all workers the proper standards and protections that they deserve. Today’s executive order closes that gap to help ensure the health and safety of our workforce during this unprecedented time.”

The mandates apply to every business, nonprofit, or government or educational entity in the state that requires its workers to be physically present in a workspace.

The requirements, with limited exceptions, are: • Require workers and customers to maintain at least six feet of distance from one another, to the maximum extent possible; • Require everyone to wear face masks, except when an employee is at their workstation at least six feet from others, or is alone in a walled space such as an office. Employers

may be authorized to prevent individuals who refuse to wear a mask from entering the worksite.

• Provide face masks for their employees; • Provide approved sanitization materials for employees and visitors at no cost to those individuals; • Ensure that employees practice hand hygiene and provide employees with sufficient break time for that purpose; • Routinely clean and disinfect all high-touch areas in accordance with DOH and CDC guidelines; • Prior to each shift, conduct daily health checks, such as temperature screenings, visual symptom checking, self-assessment checklists, and/or health questionnaires, consistent with CDC guidance; • Do not allow sick employees to enter workplace and follow requirements of applicable leave laws; and • Promptly notify employees of any known exposure to COVID-19 at the worksite.

The order met with swift resistance from state business advocacy groups. In a statement, New Jersey Business and Industry Association president and CEO Michele Siekerka noted the heavy burden the new order places on businesses already operating in a difficult environment.

“While we have always shared the governor’s priority to establish workplaces that follow federal safety guidelines, today’s directive again makes New Jersey an outlier in terms of mandates — without any balance whatsoever for the concerns of employers.

“Our policymakers must strike a better balance toward trying to help our employers by prioritizing legislation for liability protections

supporting those businesses that are doing the right thing already — in addition to bringing them more sorely needed resources.

“Sadly, we heard no such balance from the governor today. We only heard about applying more financial burdens on the same job creators who simultaneously have many of the greatest capacity restrictions in the nation.

“Further, most businesses already have protective safeguards in place and are critically concerned about safeguarding their workforce and their workplaces. Mechanisms already exist to call out bad actors and hold them accountable. There is no need to now mandate additional costs on the good actors through unnecessary policy. In fact, more resources should be “We once again urge the governor and our policymakers to put a pause on any further mandates, recognizing that New Jersey’s business climate was already consistently ranked amongst the worst in the nation pre-COVID because of the excessive cost of doing business. Further mandates only exacerbate that.”

The admissions job there led to steel edge as he told the governor the school would be integrated and the College Board and ETS and his that federal troops would be used to relocation to Princeton. He and his wife, Deborah Raikes-Colbert, the enforce that decision.

I am reminded of the Sun Studio tour and the Martin Luther King Jr. Museum often as I contemplate efforts to leverage some of Princeton’s historical assets into study centers that would attract ordinary tourists and serious scholars.

So when I heard that the birthplace of Paul Robeson was being opened to the public for a few hours last Sunday, the day after the 113th anniversary of Robeson’s birth on April 9, 1898, I charged over to visit the house at 110 Witherspoon Street, just across Green Street from the Arts Council’s Paul Robeson Center.

The occasion was organized by the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, located just a few doors away and where Robeson’s father had been minister when the future scholar-All American athlete-singer-actor-human rights activist was born. Sometime after the Robeson family left the house, it fell into private ownership and was 4:30 p.m. residenvia Zoom broken down into various tial configurations.

PUAM Presents Zoom Talk on Photo Artist Vik Muniz

T

by Dan Aubrey

he Princeton University Art Museum will present a Zoom talk with artist Vik Muniz on Thursday, November 12, at 5:30 p.m.

An artist and photographer known for his recreations of familiar artworks blended with common place objects and realized in various approaches, Muniz is also the creator of the “Postcard from Nowhere” series.

A book version published by the noted nonprofit Aperture, a foundation for advancing photography, is currently being released.

The program, which is part of PUAM’s Late Thursdays, will be introduced by museum director James Steward.

Muniz previously shared some of his thoughts on his art and approach in interviews with Linda Benedict-Jones, director of the Silver Eye Center for Photography in Pittsburgh, and television writer/ producer Mark Magill for the online arts magazine Bomb.

Here are some excerpted comments that can serve as a preview of the Muniz’s upcoming talk:

P

rocess enters my work as a form of narrative. When people look at one of my pictures, I don’t want them to actually see something represented. I prefer for them to see how something gets to represent something else.

Sometimes it starts with a subject and then I search to find the most suitable process to make that subject and then, sometimes, I just go backwards from there.

Other times, I find a different process for making an image and I go looking for subjects, but either choice is based on the relationship between one another. Starting with the subject or ending up with a subject is pretty irrelevant.

I’m more interested in how pictures get conveyed. What’s the language of the thing I’m photographing and how do I learn about it?

How does a photograph bring to mind somebody, and how can I photograph them? I’m interested in the linguistics of an image. I want to see where the verb is, and the subject. Is there an article? What’s the object? It’s like when you go to have your picture taken and the photographer says, ‘Smile.’ You know, you are not really smiling.

You are just answering to a command of some sort.

I try to break images down like

that and analyze them. So, in a way, it’s a very analytical approach, but I try to make it seamless. I don’t want the images to look conceptual because the moment it looks like I’m trying to come up with some idea or some intellectual scheme, it will scare people away and they’ll become defensive.

I want the pictures to be beautiful and I want them to be easy to look at and have a residual effect. I also want them to be intelligent. I want to keep that edge to them, but I don’t want people to know that.

As images become more eloquent than words — because they are much more powerful than words — words seem to be just an excuse to have a very powerful image. As you are reading something underneath an image, you are being totally overtaken by what you are looking at without knowing it.

My Brazilian education is more of an education of the senses, not names and biographical and historical elements — not that they are not there — it’s just that I go beyond their names. It all becomes kind of a sensual thing.

I am a Brazilian person rather than a Brazilian artist. I grew up in the ’70s in Brazil and that has had a profound impact on what I do, and it has had a profound impact on the art that I really like. Music that was done during the ’70s was done under a climate of extreme repression by the government. Artists resorted

‘Art is just as important as science because it completes it; one is about phenomenon while the other is about mind. One thing is totally dependent on the other.’ to metaphors because, although they had things to say, they couldn’t just say them. You became aware that there were many ways to say the same thing — that there are many techniques and mechanisms and that these contraptions are inside every single image, every single statement, every single song.

Instead of screaming some kind of truth, somebody comes and just sings a beautiful song, but that song tells you things on a secondary lev-

originality is just a mere excuse for copying.

We can trace this development because the introduction of a new medium does not destroy the existing ones, it simply forces them to adapt to a new reality. I am a very traditional artist, as a draftsman as well as a photographer, but the unlikely encounter of these two media is what gives my work a contemporary character.

On the whole, I prefer to work on a very low-tech level. There’s something redeeming in using the barest mechanics to produce an image. I don’t want to amaze you with my powers to fool you. I want to make you aware of how much you want to believe in the image — to be conscious of the measure of your own belief, rather than of my capacity to fool you. You see it, but at the same time you see how it works.

A photograph is never the same the second time you look at it. I make photographs to be placed on a wall, because I want people to have a physical relationship to an image that’s not limited by the length of their arms. I’m not an editorial type of artist. I would like people to walk toward a picture, to see how it changes as they walk. Pictures

mean different things at different distances.

When photography came about, it released painting from factuality.

Artists had to step back to reconfigure the painting project in order for it to continue. Some went to a childlike perception. Some started looking into the images and realizing what those marks were, like the Impressionists. There was a retrograde movement with painting in response to photography.

Now the ghost of painting has come back to haunt photography in the form of digital media. And we’ve liberated photography from factuality. The greatest thing about being a photographer today is that photography is not a believable substance anymore, it doesn’t prove anything. The greatest reason for doing something artistically is that you don’t need to do it in any other way; you do it because you want to. We’re talking about pleasure. Photography no longer holds the claim on reality that it once did; it’s time to stop and try to understand it a little better.

el, and it is much more effective.

That’s why I don’t like shocking images. I prefer images to be like love songs, to be easy, you know, so you open yourself to them.

Art is just as important as science because it completes it; one is about phenomenon while the other is about mind. One thing is totally dependent on the other; that’s why I am very drawn to cognitive science. How many artists spend their entire lives making visual objects and never pick up a book to study how the eye works?

Vision is a form of intelligence, even more so than hearing. Our human eyes are not nearly as good as birds’ eyes or many other animals’.

Instead, we have a huge visual cortex devoted just to analyzing visual stimuli. That is our true eye.

Plato thought the eyes sent out a beam and sort of hit something.

Platonic vision is interesting; it’s not the way it physically happens, but it’s the way it mentally happens. You see things the way you want to see them.

Recognition is a kind of comfort. It confirms your capacity for looking at something and analyzing it, but it also reinforces your familiarity. What is good, however, is to be able to produce that warm feeling where you recognize something and at the same time you’re able to subvert that recognition.

Art is primarily a copy. I don’t believe in originality as much as I believe in individuality.

We have improved our copying skills through technologies and it is through these developmental implements that we see how we have evolved; the subject in its aura of

No Bridge Too Far With Area Covered Bridge Tour

F

by Dan Aubrey

or those looking for a pandemic outing that offers a healthy dose of social distancing, we’ve got you covered with your own self-guided covered bridge tour.

It’s generally easy, as I recently discovered when I took advantage of Visit Bucks County’s online covered bridge tour guide.

With a quick printout and a full tank of gas, my wife, Liz, and I were on our way through fall foliage on a trek we’ve talked about for years.

We were also thinking aloud about the original purpose of a covered bridge and why there were so many in Bucks County.

The purpose is simple. The covering protects the wood of the bridge from weather deterioration, collapse, and rebuilding.

Bucks County seems to have benefited from its location relative to the first documented American covered bridge built in Philadelphia.

Political leaders started a push in the early 1700s for a covered span on Market Street — then known as High Street — to cross the Schuylkill River.

But action was slow even though prominent Philadelphia designers had offered designs.

Those offering ideas included Robert Smith, who created Nassau Hall in Princeton, and Charles Willson Peale, the artist who painted the Washington at Princeton painting at the Princeton University Art Museum.

City leaders eventually crossed their own metaphorical bridge at the dawn of the 19th century when Newburyport, Massachusetts, architect Timothy Palmer was selected to create of the nation’s first documented covered bridge. That was 1805.

The next year saw the first covered bridge connecting two states — with the Lower Ferry Bridge in Trenton connecting Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Then they kept coming, aided by such innovations as Connecticut

It also happens to have the sig-

nature paint style — a mixture of barn red and bright white — seen on most of the bridges on the tour.

After parking on the shoulder of the road, we took a stroll through and over the bridge unaware of something I discovered later — the bridge was supposedly haunted.

According to several sources, the bridge is allegedly a “cry baby bridge” where a young woman killed her child and then herself.

Local legend says people still can hear her.

But perhaps they’re hearing the victim of the one known fatal accident on the bridge. That happened on April 3, 1918, when the span collapsed under Edward C. Lewis and Charles Armstrong’s seven-ton trailer and water tank. Lewis saved himself by clinging to the bridge’s siding, but Armstrong died in the wreckage.

Back in the car we consulted our guide and headed towards Loux Covered Bridge. And although the bridge was approximately nine miles away, we clocked more mileage thanks to poor road signage,

While its full name is John A. Loux’s Cabin Run Covered Bridge, a marker calls it Cabin Run Covered Bridge, which made us think we missed our destination and backtracked to find one with the name “Loux” highlighted (it isn’t).

The printout guide’s reference to “for foot traffic only” also confused us because we drove through twice.

Eventually we figured it out and got some background on the completely white-colored bridge.

Loux’s was built in 1874 over Cabin Run Creek, is 60 feet long, and is built of hemlock. Its namesake had operated a mill near the spot and had the distinction of being Bucks County’s longest-tenured justice of the peace.

Thanks to the 1996 state renovations uncovering a couple’s initials carved in the frame decades before, the bridge was also classified as “A

Kissing Bridge” — the romantic spot where couples would go undercover to profess their love and seal it with a kiss.

Back on the road and confused about two bridges with the same name spanning the same creek, we spun our wheels until we arrived at

cabins and stone houses that stood near the creek.

Local lore says that a notorious gang of Revolutionary War-era outlaws, the Doane Boys, lived nearby and that a UFO hovered near the bridge in 1959.

Based on my visit to this bridge, I would not be surprised that aliens would make a visit this picturesque beauty spanning a rocky stream on a bucolic back road.

Our next stop, about four miles away, was Frankenfield Bridge, a 130-foot span built in 1872 that reaches over the Tinicum Creek in Tinicum Township.

The bridge is named after the Frankenfields, an established family in the area — with speculation that it honored influential carpenter and contractor Henry Frankenfield.

However, historians are intrigued by the fact that the original announcement to build a bridge called it Hillpot’s Bridge, after another prominent area family.

Cabin Run lore says a band of Revolutionary War outlaws lived nearby, and that a UFO hovered near that bridge in 1959. the other Cabin Run Covered Bridge.

Just about four miles downstream from Loux in Plumstead Township, the 82-foot span was built in 1871 and named for the log

Now with several bridges behind us, my wife and I felt warmed

up for the challenge and started running down the list.

About five miles away is the 1832 Erwinna Covered Bridge.

At only 56 feet long, it is the shortest of Bucks’ covered bridges.

The bridge takes its name from the town Erwinna, named after Continental Army Colonel Arthur Erwin, who owned most of the land

in Tinicum Township and, upon George Washington’s request, rallied his militia to take part in the 1776 Delaware River crossing.

Uhlerstown Covered Bridge is next on the list. About three miles away, the oak wood bridge has the distinction of being the only one that crosses the Delaware Canal.

While historians agree that its Continued on following page

length comes in at around 101 feet, there is a disagreement about the bridge’s birth year. Although signage says it went up in 1832, historical records and newspaper articles say it was built in 1856 and names the carpenter, Mahlon Lear.

No matter the date, the bridge deviates from others already seen on the tour. It has two sets of windows at mid-span that lighten the inside and makes it seem lighter from the outside. It is also close to a cluster of old dwellings that conjure the town’s heyday when entrepreneur Michael Uhler set up businesses that included stores, grist mills, hay presses, and lime kilns.

Knecht’s Covered Bridge — named after a local county commissioner — is a 110-foot-long bridge over Crossing Crooks Creek in Springfield Township, about 10 miles from Uhlerstown.

The hemlock wood structure built in 1873 sits pretty amid farms and is said to be part on the route of the infamous Walking Purchase of 1737 — where fast-footed ringers were recruited to outmaneuver Native Americans in claiming territory by walking.

Sheard’s Mill is one of Bucks’ longest bridges at 130 feet. Located on another Covered Bridge Road, it spans the Tohickon Creek near Lake Nockamixon in East Rockhill and Haycock townships.

The name comes from Levi Sheard, who purchased the property and an existing mill in 1844 that still stands.

With a camp ground and parking area adjacent to the bridge and its quintessential red and white look, the bridge seems to be a hotspot for romantic photo taking — as indicated by a photographer posing a couple who recreated their own

Moods Bridge — 6.5 miles away from Sheard’s Mill — combines past and current interest in covered bridge building. That’s because it uses beams and the original tress salvaged from a 2004 arson fire as part of its current incarnation.

Located just outside Perkasie, the original bridge was built in 1874 to span the northeast branch of the Perkiomen Creek. Its name comes from the nearby farm owned

We had also thrown in a quick visit to New Jersey’s only remaining 19th-century covered bridge, the Green Sergeant’s Covered Bridge in Hunterdon County.

Approximately 12 miles from where we began our trip, the 84-foot bridge is named for local mill operator Richard Green Sergeant and was built in 1872 to cross the Wickecheoke Creek.

The one-lane light gray structure had fallen into disrepair in the mid1960s and was dismantled to create a new passage.

But the lobbying efforts of area residents saw the state initiate a project that used the original bridge materials to rebuild and strengthen the bridge.

It now serves as one-lane of a two-lane road (the other portion is uncovered) and — along with the bridges of Bucks County — provides us with a bridge to our past — and an easy and safe outing during a challenging time.

Svetlana Alpers discusses her book on Walker Evans in a virtual event on Wednesday, November 18. where he eventually worked in the Map Room.

His father was finally persuaded that financing a year in Paris would be a substitute for college that was not to be. On April 6, 1926, he sailed for Cherbourg on the RMS Orduna.

Photographs show him traveling with friends. He made snapshots — of himself, of a few places, of his friends. The striking one of Georgette Maury, taken near Grasse towards the end of his time there in April 1927, is a premature case of something that caught his attentive eye and was taken in to make a distinctive image. It is a suggestion of things to come.

Along with other French photographs, he held on to that one right through his life, and it ended up with everything else he held on to in his archive at the Met (copyright laws do not allow public reproductions, but readers can see the image online at www.metmuseum.org/ art/collection/search/282368).

PSO Conductor Grooves and Streams Online

N

by Dan Aubrey

ell Flanders seems more of a dancer than conductor on her website’s video of her leading the Princeton Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 — dubbed “The Dance Symphony.”

Her active style promises to continue when she, the PSO, and video come together again on Sunday, November 15.

That’s when Flanders, the recently named the PSO Georg and Joyce Albers-Schonberg Assistant Conductor, and the orchestra present a program with guest violinist Elina Vahala.

The program includes Florence Price’s String Quartet in G Major’s “Andante moderato,” Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Chaconne” from Partita No. 2 in D Minor, Edvard Grieg’s “Holberg Suite,” and work for solo violin to be announced.

But this time, the video will be the main event — rather than a useful follow up — and part of the orchestra’s effort to maintain its presence in the community during the pandemic — without missing a beat.

“It’s a very safe way the orchestra gets together,” says Flanders during a recent interview.

The safety for the series that started in October involves a reduced orchestra that makes it more possible for the musicians to keep socially and healthily distant.

“They are separated by six feet. They wear a mask. And I wear a mask,” she says.

Flanders adds that after spending months unable to bring musicians together to perform that the recent performance series “was wonderful.”

She also says — despite the asking concertgoers to spend more time in front of a screen — virtual performances are a new and different experience that the orchestra is learning to use.

One interesting element, she says, involves the camera angles that allow audience members to see the performers differently and focus on the instrumentation.

While she says it is vastly different from their regular concert venue, the acousticsrich Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University campus, “you hear things differently.”

Another new PSO activity she appreciates is the socially distanced chamber series developed in cooperation with Morven Museum and Garden in Princeton that started in September.

“It was meaningful to share music with audience members,” she says, adding that listeners sat in distanced sections of pods and faced an equally distanced and masked orchestra using the museum’s education center as its performance stage.

She says another benefit was that the informal setting attracted families whose children could experience the music without feeling constrained.

And while the above efforts were design to deal with a public health problem, Flanders muses that orchestras will continue doing more virtual and small group concerts, and there will be unanticipated “things that work and that we’ll continue to do.”

Flanders, who is also a violinist and pianist, joined the PSO in the fall of 2018, when an endowment was established to support the position of assistant conductor.

The endowment honors the late Princeton area businesswoman, investor, and biochemist Joyce Albers-Schonberg and her husband, inventor and Merck & Company research scientist Georg, both music lovers and PSO supporters.

In addition to presenting PSO concerts, such as “Holiday Pops!” program, the PSO

Elina Vahala, left, is the guest soloist in the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s virtual concert on Sunday, November 15, conducted by Nell Flanders, right.

assistant conductor is also the principal conductor for the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey.

The PSO entered a partnership with the West Windsor-based YOCJ in August — highlighting the PSO’s interest in fostering new talent and a shared history: Both organizations were founded by the late Portia Sonnenfeld.

Noting on her website that she is “deeply committed to educating the next generation of musicians and music lovers,” Flanders says that it continues her work of conducting youth orchestras in New York.

That includes her work with the Precollege Symphony Orchestra at the Manhattan School of Music and the Chelsea Symphony.

She says she especially appreciates the PSO’s partnership with the YOCJ. “It is a wonderful opportunity to have a home orchestra — and finding ways to involve the PSO players with youth orchestras.

“It’s like having your home sports team.

You get to know the players and interact directly with them. And when you go to a concert you see the person and make a connection.”

While currently frustrated she is using Zoom to work with the young musicians, Flanders says, “This is beginning of the relation — it will happen over time.”

S

he says her interest in working with the PSO was connected to the group’s stature. “The orchestra is known in the music world,” she says.

The connection came from PSO music director and conductor Rossen Milanov who, she says, “has a strong reputation, and part of it is that musicians loved working with.”

She says in addition to professionally interacting with Milanov she got to know other people connected with the orchestra. That included meeting executive director and violinist Marc Uys during a musical workshop.

Flanders’ background, interests, abilities, and connection to members of the staff made her a fit.

“It is like a big family,” she says about becoming part of the organization.

Flanders continues the family-theme and talks about growing up in Pelham, New York,

and her subsequent evolvement in music.

“I grew up in a family of amateur musicians — everyone played something. There was no escaping that. You’re going to play music,” she says.

The daughter of a father who was a circuit court executive and a poet mother, Flanders says, “For a long time I didn’t want to be a professional because you have freedom being an amateur. “(But) when I graduated from high school I decided I wanted to do music. It was my primarily love, and going to Oberlin was a wonderful thing for me.”

Regarding leaving her seat in the orchestra to stand on the podium, she says, “I love playing the violin, but what inspired me was conducting” — something she experienced when she created a college orchestra and then sought out community orchestras after graduating.

“Conducting brought many things together in me. Many of the members of the orchestra are violinists, and I understand them.”

She adds that playing the piano gave her a “larger vision” of a work — rather than one section.

Flanders says she approaches conducting a musical piece by putting herself in the place of the musicians and says an important thing is “to offer professional players something that is new to them.”

For the composition, she says, “There is no definitive way for a piece of music to be performed. The notation doesn’t give you all the information. Anything the composer has written should be respected. There is enough there to guide you. But even composers change their tempos.

“And (the performance) depends on the concert hall you’re in. The metronome marking gives you an idea of what energy you’re playing, but you are a unique person in a unique place, and to have a performance to speak to time and space is more profound.”

While she says she is willing to engage all types of music, certain works engage her more directly. “I love rhythm. I really enjoy music that has a rhythmic vitality. I think that is connected to when I was playing in a Chicago blues band,” a style where you “need a drive in the music. It made me realize that (classical composers) have that same

groove” — something she physically demonstrates in her website videos.

She also credits her mother, American poet Jane Flanders. “My mother was a fantastic amateur pianist. She understood the rhythm of language.”

“Another thing is tone color,” she continues. “I think with a tactile quality of tone.

There’s texture and even smells. It isn’t a dry experience. My experience is more physical, tactile, and sensual. That’s a priority with me.”

Flanders says the upcoming concert — videotaped by Brian Dixon Videography in Lawrence­ville — was developed by Milanov and designed in cooperation with Finnish violin virtuoso and soloist Vahala.

“This program is good,” says Flanders, pointing out her interest in conducting the “Andante moderato” by Florence Price, an American composer of African background whose work combines the European classical tradition and African American music.

“Working with (Price’s piece) has been inspiring,” she says.

F

landers says on her website and during the interview that she is interested in expanding the interest in classical concert music and has some ideas of how to accomplish it.

One is perception. “We have this idea of music in different categories and the hierarchies of all these different genres. But most music has things more in common than different.

“Part of what can be done is an orchestra can present music with unexpected sounds — to hear a Latin tune played by an orchestra is exciting. When we do something new stylistically, it opens us up, which is good.”

She also sees value in engaging young people.

“I don’t think you need any education at all to connect to music,” she says about approaching the music through education first, “When you go to a good concert you feel it.

“On the other hand — education enriches your experience. And it will help you have a context for the experience.”

She says providing students directly with music as an art provides a deeper connection — that includes playing an instrument or creating artwork while listening to music.

Yet for now she is playing music for our current times and has some thoughts about what musicians all over are sharing. “The virtual concerts help us stay connected,” she says. “I’ve enjoyed being forced to take a more creative approach. We have our usual modus operandi, and this has pushed us out of it.”

She also looks forward to seeing how concert music presentations have changed when “we come back” after the pandemic.

Yet despite the current challenges and the general precariousness of being a professional musician, Flanders says, “There is nothing I wanted to do more. I love what I do.”

And her Beethoven video shows it.

Life in the Fast Lane

T

he City of Trenton took a blow last week as the New York Yankees announced that they were dropping the Trenton Thunder as their AA-level Minor League affiliate.

The Yankees’ new AA team will be the Somerset Patriots, who play in Bridgewater. The move is part of a larger restructuring within Minor League Baseball, leaving it unclear if the Thunder will have a Major League affiliation going forward or join an independent league.

The Thunder have had a Major League affiliation since 1980 and were part of the Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, and Boston Red Sox organizations before becoming part of the Yankees’ farm system in 2003.

In a published statement, Thunder owner Joseph Plumeri criticized the Yankees and commented on the depth of the loss for the city.

“This is about more than baseball; the Thunder is a pillar of the Trenton community. My heart breaks for the thousands of stadium workers, fans, and residents of this great city,” he said.

“This move by the Yankees removes a key source of income for Trenton. Despite repeated assurances that the Thunder would remain its Double-A affiliate over the last 16 months, the Yankees betrayed their partnership at the 11th hour. By doing so, the Yankees have misled and abandoned the Thunder and the taxpayers of Mercer County, who have invested millions of dollars over the years to ensure that Arm & Hammer Park remains one of the premier ballparks in America.

“While this community built the Yankees organization up and set minor league baseball attendance records, it seems the Yankees were only focused on trying to cut culturally diverse Trenton down in favor of a wealthy, higher socioeconomic area in Somerset.

“On behalf of my fellow owners, Joseph Caruso and Joseph Finley, I want to thank Trenton and all of the Thunder faithful, along with our sponsors and our partners. To all Thunder players past and present — we thank you for your inspiring teamwork, your community involvement, and for bringing your very best to the diamond every day.

You helped Trenton make memories on and off the field.”

The 2020 Minor League season was canceled due to COVID-19; no announcement has been made about plans for the 2021 season.

Area Arts Groups Receive Grants

A

s arts organizations feel the financial strain of prolonged closures and limited operations due to COVID-19, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts has announced $16.3 million in grants awarded for the 2021 fiscal year.

Numerous groups in the Princeton area received grants ranging from $10,000 to more than $600,000 for general operating support and specific projects.

Princeton-based organizations receiving funding include the Arts Council of Princeton, $50,774; McCarter Theatre Center, $626,820; Princeton University Art Museum, $30,000; Princeton Pro Musica, $14,647; Princeton Symphony Orchestra, $45,592; Princeton Festival, $20,900; and Westrick Music Academy, $30,000.

Young Audiences of New Jersey & Eastern PA received a total of $458,193.

Trenton-based organizations awarded grants include Artworks Trenton, $14,850; Boheme Opera Company, $15,450; Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission Senior Citizen Art Show, $30,000, and Local Arts Program, $101,280; Passage Theatre Company, $22,092; and Trenton Circus Project, $25,764.

Also in Trenton, The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey received $19,007 in general support as well as $17,800 for its TEDI Arts Education Special Initiatives.

In Hamilton Grounds For Sculpture received $112,741 and the International Sculpture Center received $34,248. The Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey General received $10,000.

Lawrenceville’s People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos received $18,450, and the West Windsor Arts Council received $30,000.

“The situation is dire for many, and we are grateful to Governor Murphy and the legislature for recognizing the need for robust public support of the arts right now,” Council Chair Elizabeth Mattson said in a statement announcing the grants. “We’re witnessing some of the most innovative and successful adaptations of artistic engagement — necessitated by crisis and fueled by skill and passion. But passion doesn’t keep the lights on or put food on the table. New Jersey’s creative industries are at risk.”

The remaining $3.3 million in the council’s 2021 budget will be allocated later in the year as part of a COVID critical needs grant program.

Expansions

T

cludes classes, lectures, social events, and volunteer work, has been fully virtual since March. A capital campaign is set to launch later this year to fund the purchase of the new building.

In a statement the PSRC’s executive director, Drew Dyson, explained the center’s vision “to develop a world-class, multi-site senior center serving older adults across the region. With our new facility supplementing our current space, we will have the means we need to continue helping older adults thrive.”

“The board of PSRC has been engaged in conversations for many years about our need for additional space for programs and offices as well as additional parking for our programs,” PSRC board president Joan Girgus said in a statement.

“This new building, coupled with our existing location at the Suzanne Patterson Building, will enable us to serve the growing population of older adults in our region for years to come.”

Hal English Named Chamber CEO

T

he Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber of Commerce has named Hal English, right, as its next president and CEO, replacing Peter Crowley, who announced his retirement in June.

Crowley’s last day is December 31; English officially begins his role on January 4, 2021.

English, a longtime presence in the Mercer County business community, is currently the director of community development in Robbinsville, where he also lives. He has previously served as vice president and general manager of Grand Bank in Hamilton and as vice president of First Choice Bank in Robbinsville.

Prior to his banking career he also worked in various capacities for Hamilton Township, where he helped oversee the successful development of the Hamilton Marketplace on Route 130. English, who holds a degree in economics from Boston College, is also the author of “Behind Ivy Walls,” a memoir that recounts his challenging, unhappy childhood in Trenton.

English’s appointment follows a six-month national search led by Dennis C. Miller & Associates. “I am excited to welcome Hal as our new president and CEO,” said Brenda Ross-Dulan,

chairman of the board, in a statement. “His knowledge of the region, coupled with his extensive work with nonprofits and small businesses, make him a perfect match to follow our exiting president, Peter Crowley.”

“It has been my honor to serve as the chamber’s president and CEO for these past 12 years,” Crowley said. “I’ve had the chance to work with amazing staff, amazing chamber members, and some of the leading business leaders in our region.

Hal’s appointment makes me excited for the upcoming years ahead.”

“I have had the honor to be a Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber member for many years and witness the tremendous growth and business impact that this organization has accomplished,” English said. “I look forward to helping continue that growth.”
