ew Year’s Eve plans still being weighed? Perhaps the following symphonic presentations will lighten the choices:

New Jersey Capital Philharmonic The annual New Year’s Eve concert returns with a preview organ presentation by celebrated regional organ master Brett Miller and the main event symphony program featuring the lively music of Johann Strauss, Richard Rodgers, George Gershwin, and others.

WWFM radio host David Osenberg hosts the Trenton tradition. $45 to $75. Friday, December 31, 8 p.m.

N

ew Year’s Day arrives with the following events that can provide an opportunity for those wanting to start 2022 on the right foot — or start following that different drummer:

Princeton Nursery Lands First Day Hike

Head to the D&R Canal / Mapleton Preserve to get a healthy start to the new year. Part of the national First Day Hike efforts to help people get out and exercise — especially after a week of feasting and celebration — the 1.5-mile loop hike through the preserve is also designed to be kind and starts at noon and continues until walkers get to the final station for hot cocoa.

Free. Saturday, Janary 1, noon.

Mapleton Preserve/D&R Canal State Park Headquarters, 145 Mapleton Road, Kingston. www.fpnl. org

O

r get on the train to one or both of two nearby New Year’s Day one-of-a-kind events: The annual Mummers Parade — the oldest folk art event in the nation — returns after a 2020 COVID hiatus and starts at 9 a.m. at Philadelphia’s City Hall, at the intersection of Broad and Market streets. It then follows a 1.1-mile path down South Broad Street. Rooted in ancient European traditions, the event is based on the art of “mummery” (silent performances) and features lavish costumes, strumming and strutting, and a spectacle of color — with bands and groups stopping along the way to perform and play.

The free festivities continue to 6 p.m. Public transportation from Trenton to Philadelphia’s Suburban Station is a good idea, but brave drivers should be able to find free parking. www.phlvisitorcenter.com/Mummers.

The 48th annual January 1 New Year’s Day Marathon Reading at the Poetry Project of Saint Marks Church in New York City features more than 150 readers, making it one of the biggest events of its kind in the nation. It’s also a major fundraiser for the nationally known poetry center and a way to catch the newest voices in American poetry.

This year’s hybrid event runs from 11 a.m. to midnight and includes live and pre-recorded video readings. Something also new is the pricing: $20 for live hour segments, a $50 afternoon pass, a $100 evening pass, and a $200 all day pass. Or just stream for free.

St. Mark’s Church, 131 East 10th Street (at 2nd Avenue). 212674-0910 or www.poetryproject. org.

A

nd, finally, those looking for more action:

The Battle of Princeton

The 245th anniversary commemoration at Princeton Battlefield State Park, features a talk with regional Revolutionary War historian and author Larry Kidder, British and American war re-enactors, tours of the historic Thomas Clark House, and free coffee and chocolate, Princeton Battlefield State Park, 500 Mercer Road, Princeton.

Free. Sunday, January 2, 8:30 a.m.

Together all of the above send out the message, “Happy holidays and New Year!”

Five Points Trenton: Where History & Art Are Entwined in Time

P

by Dan Aubrey

atriots Week in Trenton is the annual December 26 through 31 reenactment of the Trenton Revolutionary War winter battles that gave the Americans their first major victories against the British.

One of the important Trenton locales of the wars is “Five Points,” the intersection of North Broad Street, Warren Street, and Princeton, Pennington, and Brunswick avenues.

It is here on December 26, 1776, that American forces led by General George Washington placed their artillery and contained the Hessian Troops garrisoned at the Barracks building just a few blocks away.

During the battle, which included Alexander Hamilton ordering the cannons to fire, Hessian commander Colonel Johann Rahl (also Rall and Rhall) was mortally wounded and the Hessians captured.

It is here that Washington’s strategic decision to surprise the British forces in Trenton boosted the morale of the Continental forces and put them on the path to victory.

And it is here that passersby can easily overlook the details of the stately monument created by one of the prominent designers of its day and featuring artwork by one of America’s most prominent artists.

The designer is John H. Duncan, who also created Grant’s Tomb.

As the New Jersey Department of Parks and Recreation, which has authority over the 148-foot-high triumphal column of granite, reports, the design is “considered to be an early example of the Beaux Arts style, it is a Roman Doric column with a large base decorated with acanthus leaves. The capital has a ring of stars crowned by an observation platform with a railing.

Above the platform is a circle of 13 electric lights, representing the 13

original colonies. The column is surmounted by a small round pavilion that features a pedestal with a statue of George Washington, right arm outstretched, pointing toward the site of his victory.”

T

he artist is Thomas Eakins, a 19th century Philadelphia painter who studied in Paris and returned to create masterful scenes of American realism, including scenes of medical school surgeons performing operations and athletic activities.

Eakins was involved with the project for at least two reasons. He was (and continues to be) regarded as one of the most highly accomplished American artists of his day.

Nevertheless, the monument designers knew he was in financial straits after his academic career was jettisoned by his insistence that female art students participate in classes that used nude male models.

Eakins was commissioned to create two plaque reliefs at the base of the monument to show Washing-

ton’s army crossing the Delaware River and the opening of the Battle of Trenton (a third relief showing the surrender of the Hessians was created by New York sculptor Karl H. Niehaus).

While the original plaques were removed and can be seen at the New Jersey State Museum, the faithfully reproduced replicas now on the monument show Eakins’ approach to relief making and his belief that a “relief holds a place between a painting or drawing on a flat surface and a piece of full sculpture.”

I

n the 1993 publication “The Trenton Battle Monument: Eakins Bronzes,” New Jersey State Museum curators Zolton Buki and Suzanne Crilley put the Eakins reliefs in perspective by comparing them with the famous “George Washington Crossing the Delaware” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York: “Due to Eakins’ almost exclusive interest in relief — even if at times very high relief — sculpture, the quality of his work in this medium often seems painterly. This is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in the bronzes of the Trenton battle Monument.

“Emanuel Gottleib Leutze painted Washington Crossing the Delaware some 40 years before Eakins received the commission to treat the same theme and other related subjects in sculptural form.

“Outside the obvious differences of size and medium between the works of Leutze and Eakins there is also a strange reversal: pictorial three-dimensionality in one and sculptural two-dimensionality in the other.

“Leutze’s intention to capture ‘the spirit of a great leader and the importance of a great event’ is achieved by sharp value contrasts and silhouette-like harshness of the contours — neither of which is possible in quite the same way in a low relief. These devices successfully, and excessively, isolate the foreground from the background; the visual sensation is not unlike viewing a sculptural group against an early morning eastern sky…

“In Eakins’ version of the theme, enlarged in scope to memorialize

An image of Thomas Eakins’ bronze reliefs of American soldiers during the Revolutionary War, above left, and Eakins’ self-portrait, left. Above is a painting of the Trenton Battle Monument by the late artist Tom Malloy.

The Continental Army Crossing the Delaware… the concept is pictorial, treated in an almost impressionistic manner. The composition suggests a snapshot effect, as it were, a visual record made by a participant in the quiet drama of the actual event.”

Notes from the undated minutes from a Battle Monument Association meeting add some additional thoughts regarding Eakins’ and Leutze’s depictions.

According the minutes, Eakins’ crossing corrects the one by Leutze that is “so faulty in its delineation of the direction of the passage of the boats, in the kind of boats used, in the representation of the ice, and of the flag carried by the American Army.”

At Trenton’s five points passersby can easily overlook the details of the stately monument created by one of the prominent designers of its day and featuring artwork by one of America’s most prominent artists.

However, in the Eakins design “the Durham boats which General Washington directed to be collected from the upper waters of the Delaware during his march through the Jerseys appear as they were used in transporting the horses and artillery. In the immediate foreground is William Washington and the lieutenant of his company, James Monroe, afterward president of the United States. Both of these officers were wounded in the battle of Trenton. With them, evidently alarmed at some noise on the New Jersey shore, is Colonel Ed-

ward Hand, and the Pennsylvania regiment of sharpshooters, commanded by that gallant officer…

The little boat in the foreground contains General Washington and Colonel Knox the artillerist and a Jersey farmer is rowing them over the river.

“On the south side is the relief showing ‘The Opening of the Fight.’ The battery of Captain (Alexander) Hamilton is represented as about to fire the first shot at the enemy on King Street. The mounted figure of this brave soldier, who afterward became gifted statesman, is conspicuous in the foreground. This officer was then only nineteen years of age and his company of New York artillerists were all young men, but it was said to have been a model of discipline.”

A

lso involved with the creation of the memorial was 19th century sculptor William O’Donovan. In addition to the statue of Washington on top of the monument, as the minutes note, “Donovan created the two bronze statues of the Continental soldier at the monument’s entrance. The soldiers are two who fought in the Battle of Trenton: Private John Russell of the 14th Regiment from Massachusetts and Private Blair McClenachan, Philadelphia Troop of Light Horse.”

The two — along with Washington at the top of the monument and Eakins’ depictions of the action on the river and the street — will be there during Patriots Week to do what they do every day: stand witness to one of the most important battles in the Revolutionary War.

Digital Traditions are Merry, Varied, and Artificially Bright

T

hose looking for some regional holiday traditions without leaving the comfort of home can easily find them with a flick of a switch.

Broadcast and digital technology and cultural innovation have developed hand and hand to allow one to celebrate with anything that can present a live audio or video stream — including two live holiday radio marathons from Princeton University’s 103.3 WPRB radio station First up is Jon Solomon’s 25-hour Christmas Day marathon — a regional holiday tradition since 1988.

As one of our CNS reporters noted, Solomon was hosting a 10 p.m.-til-morning slot that just happened to be on Christmas Eve and came across an empty shift sign-up sheet after most of the station’s student hosts had gone home for winter break.

“Solomon, who is Jewish, didn’t have any plans, so he took the slot and played nothing but Christmas music until the morning. Twelveish hours became 24 hours the next year. He added an extra hour to the show to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2014, and that has stuck since then.”

Solomon readily says the content of his marathon continues to mutate and can include everything and anything from a 42-minute version of “Little Drummer Boy,” a block of Ramones-style Christmas songs, and the 45-minute “Snaildartha: The Story of Jerry the Christmas Snail — A Soul Jazz Extravaganza.”

“It’s always very important to me that the program not kind of rest on its laurels from year to year,” Solomon, a Princeton native, says in the interview. “I know people don’t always listen at the same point or at the same time. I want to make sure there’s an infusion of as much new material as possible every year.”

That includes new pieces he finds through blogs, SoundCloud, listeners, and friends. He also puts out calls asking for recordings of holiday stories from friends, family, musicians, comedians, and others to be played on the show — with some becoming traditional favorites. And when in doubt, he invites the family to participate, as his wife, Nicole, and their daughter, Maggie, do annually.

And generally Solomon says he has to be prepared to improvise, as when in 2006 James Brown died during Solomon’s Christmas Day broadcast and inspired the marathon host to pull out every James Brown Christmas song in his collection and play a block.

The fun with Solomon starts on Friday, December 24, at 5 p.m.

T

hen listen up when long time radio host and pianist Marvin Rosen brings his annual 24-hour holiday season marathon of new music — “Viva 21st Century” — to

by Dan Aubrey the WPRB Radio airwaves and internet on Thursday and Friday, December 30 and 31.

Rosen first went on the air in 1997. The university’s academic year was winding down, students were leaving, and WPRB needed on-air hosts/DJs to cover the summer shifts.

As U.S. 1 writer Susan Van Dongen reports in a profile, “The bottom line with Marvin Rosen is that he really, really loves music and wants to share it, especially new music from little-known composers in far-flung regions of the world.

As Rosen himself says, “Every week I’m playing mostly 21st-century classical music, and playing it from places where people may not even know that classical music is being created. The more I do this, the more I think, ‘why aren’t these musicians and composers more well-known? Composers are writing in so many styles, too — it’s endless. But you have to have the desire to listen.”

“If I get a new recording from a composer I’ve never heard of, from an obscure country, I think to myself, ‘this will be on the show next week,’” Rosen says. “That’s why having my show on WPRB is priceless. This is my joy.”

Born in Englewood in May, 1953, then raised in Kendall Park and Princeton, Rosen first discovered the joy of radio and music in 1962 when he got a transistor radio, tuning into pop music giant WABC in New York.

Rosen says buying records became an obsession, and he spent afternoons and a good chuck of his paychecks buying records in the Princeton University Store.

That grew into an interest in 20th century Post War avant-garde and desire to study music — obtaining a BA from Trenton State College, an MA from Manhattan School of Music, and doctorate in music education from Columbia University’s Teachers College. He has been a full-time member of the piano faculty at Westminster Conservatory of Music in Princeton since 1999.

“The diversity of styles is limitless in the work of our living composers,” says Rosen. “Many of them will be influenced by rock, hip hop, jazz, electronic music.

There is a lot of avant-garde and a lot of composers writing middleof-the-road music — elements of everything.”

He says he is also finding a growing audience of young listeners. “The music of today speaks to young people because the influences are so vast. It comes from the music they’re familiar with if they’re from another ethnic background. And it is all coming from their lifetimes. It is their experience. That’s the main thing.”

The “Viva 21st Century” music marathon begins Thursday, December 30, at 10 a.m.

While both Solomon and Rosen’s may seem extreme and

At right, Marvin Rosen, top, and Jon Solomon entertain WPRB listeners with Christmas season music marathons. offbeat, they’re actually something of the spirit of WPRB which was started not by a university-driven agenda but by a student who created a signal from a makeshift studio at the university and created in the words of a university radio historian “a sanctuary for the imagination.”

n addition to the area’s annual holiday radio programs, there is also a regional television tradition that has been warming the eyes off and on for 55-years: WPIX’s The Yule Log. The televised image of a burning log in a fireplace hit the airwaves on Saturday, December 24, 1966, at 9:30 a.m. and glowed on through the night.

It now glows for a few hours on Christmas morning.

The Yule Log was the brainchild of Fred Thrower, the former television ad executive who eventually became the president of WPIX. He came up with the idea when he had to fill three hours of empty airtime on the Christmas Eve schedule.

A chance viewing of a CocaCola commercial with Santa and a fireplace inspired him to create a simple video loop of a crackling fire with music and broadcast it with no commercial interruptions.

As strange as the idea was (and still is), the television turned fireplace — without the heat, scent, or glow — became, in the words of an NPR commentator, “one of the most widely recognized holiday television programs.”

The Yule Log nearly was extin-

guished in the 1990s when ratings dropped and WPIX cancelled it.

However, executives decided to bring it back after the World Trade Center attacks in 2001, and its ratings rebounded to the millions.

As NPR noted years later, “There’s something very special about the fact that you’re watching the same burning fireplace that someone else is. I think it was a statement beyond just a burning fireplace on TV, of us being a connected society.”

Since the tradition of watching the Yule Log had become part of people’s lives, it was inevitable that someone would use new technologies to recreate the DVD version of

the video hearth to warm up one’s computer and their own wallets.

Nevertheless, according to TheYuleLog.com, “That famous and glorious 7-minute film loop of that roaring, happy, mesmerizing fire inside that festively decorated mantelpiece complemented by the majesty of some of the greatest classic Christmas music ever recorded is indeed the one and only WPIX Yule Log. It has often been imitated, but never duplicated.”

The WPIX Yule Log is scheduled for Christmas Day, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, go to www.pix11.com/about-us/tv-listing.

After 14 years of practice, she says, “I loved the clinical aspect and relationship with my patients and felt something was missing, and after soul searching and I realized I wasn’t involved with the community that I had been part of it. I went on a search and went to Head Start in Montclair and said, ‘I’m Dr. McGrath and I want to be a program dentist.’And I said it was pro bono.”

She says she started showing up on Wednesdays, “the day dentists were off,” and talking to children about oral disease prevention — which she calls the easiest disease to prevent.

“I loved it. I felt a connection to the community. As things pro-

Montclair is affluent, but there is a ward that is below poverty level.”

The catalyst for creating a larger child-focused dental program happened when she received a call from the receptionist at her dental office about a patient waiting for her at the office. “It was a little girl.

She said something about Dr. Nicole. I knew she was from Head Start.”

McGrath-Barnes says the girl’s aunt brought to the office because the girl “had a swelling on the side

She needed to be on antibiotics ASAP and the tooth needed to be extracted.

“I went home and said something was wrong. I was led by passion and need, and here I am years later.”

The KinderSmile Foundation was established in 2007. McGrathBarnes says she started first as a mobile operation where she trav-

She also used her office and began a partnership with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark. She also asked colleagues to participate but was disappointed when they said they “didn’t want ‘that’ population in my office.”

Then she realized a problem.

Even if she found an office, the parents refused to go. “I found out what they believed was that KinderSmile was their provider and didn’t want to go anywhere else.”

She says she consulted with the foundation’s board and “we decided to open a brick and mortar spot.

In 2015 we opened our first dental home. We call it home so people feel comfortable.

She says after KinderSmile developed a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club in Newark, she was invited to participate in a health care program led by Tammy Murphy, the spouse of Governor Phil Murphy.

Also attending the session was the director of Capital Health Institute for Urban Care, Dr. Eric Schwartz. He connected McGrathBarnes with Deborah Sands Gartenberg of the Princeton-based George H. and Estelle M. Sands Foundation.

Through her involvement with other area organizations, Gartenberg was aware of the need for Trenton children to have access to affordable oral health care. After she visited the KinderSmile “home” in Newark, she asked McGrath-Barnes to expand their services to Trenton. The Sands Foundation supported the effort with $2.4 million of funding. Other funding comes from Medicaid, other grants, and individual donors.

“I didn’t know much about Trenton,” McGrath-Barnes says. “I took a year and a half to learn about it. And in the thick of the pandemic, we opened our doors in Trenton and expanded our service to treating children and adults.”

The organization developed a relationship with a Princeton-based oral surgeon who performs oral extractions and forged a partnership with Mercer County Community College to build a dental curriculum and hire dental assistants.

She also says she is focusing on something else to help Trenton children by recognizing that “a lot of the women in Trenton are single

uring a quick visit the Trenton offices that opened in 2020 in a Mercer County Community College building, McGrath-Barnes moves through the suites of rooms including offices and open examination rooms.

Though it was an off day with one person in the waiting room, a KinderSmile report notes, “Our Trenton office is already bridging the gap in access to oral healthcare for underserved youth and adults in Trenton. Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare insures 63 percent of Trenton’s children, yet prior to KSF’s expansion into Trenton, there was only one dental practice that accepted that form of insurance, with limited access to uninsured patients.

“As of November 2021, the percentage of uninsured we serve is approximately 60 percent, nearly double our pre-opening, heavily data-driven projections. Our very successful and one-of-a-kind Perinatal Health and Wellness program provides education, prevention, and treatment solely to uninsured expectant moms and their newborns.”

“Most of our patients with insurance are NJ FamilyCare state Medicaid insurance,” McGrath-Barnes says in an email exchange regarding payments, especially those without insurance. “If an uninsured

Uninsured emergency patients pay $40 as well.

“For continued treatment for the uninsured population, we have extremely reduced fees. The purpose of this is to make access to oral health affordable for all. If an uninsured family or patient cannot afford treatment at all, we apply for grants to help them. Or we assist and encourage them to apply for NJ FamilyCare. No one leaves our dental home without treatment.”

In a response to the establishment of KinderSmile offices in areas known to be lacking in affordable healthcare, NJ Biz newspaper named McGrath-Barnes a Heathcare Hero in October 2020 and the Princeton Mercer Chamber of Commerce’s named her a Woman of Achievement in June 2021.

United Way of Greater Mercer County More Than 80 Years in the Community Building Strong Families

‘O

ldie but goodie” is a term often associated with music and movies and not your local United Way. But should it be? United Way of Greater Mercer County (UWGMC) has been in the community for more than eight decades responding to the needs of individuals and families. They exist to enable Mercer County residents to be healthy, safe and have a brighter future.

Your local United Way is unique and strives to be innovative and impactful. They recognize that factors like the recession, COVID-19 pandemic, and Hurricane Ida are taking a toll on hard-working families struggling

to make ends meet. How is UWGMC ensuring that those who need assistance in getting their basic needs met – food, housing, access to health, etc. – are getting it?

First, they work with volunteers, schools, community organizations, government, and businesses small and large to bring resources into the community.

One such example is their partnership with NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG). Employees from NRG put together Thanksgiving bags filled with mashed potatoes, stuffing, and vegetables which were distributed to 1,000 families along with a gift card to purchase their choice of turkey, ham, or a vegetarian option. A single mother was one of the recipients. Unfortunately, she and her children fell through the cracks in receiving food assistance. The Thanksgiving bag made a difference for the family, and they received additional food resources and social services.

Another example is they partner with SingleCare (formerly FamilyWize) to offer a discount-

ed prescription savings program.

Last year, nearly 3,000 residents in the county benefited from this resource, and there were more than $250,000 in prescription savings.

Second, UWGMC works directly with those on a survival budget and fills gaps when needed. Their free tax preparation service is available to households making less than $65,000 annually. This service is vital and helps individuals and families keep more of their hard-earned dollars for basic needs. Mercer County residents can also connect with a UWGMC benefits enroller and apply for NJ Family Care, health insurance, and utilities assistance programs.

UWGMC does so much more to help build strong families and a thriving community. They ensure that NJ 211, a multilingual statewide information, and referral service is available 24 hours a day/seven a week. Individuals throughout the county can get information on food pantries, housing assistance, COVID-19 vaccines, legal services, and other

vital programs.

Is your local United Way an “oldie but goodie?” Absolutely!

They have an amplifier effect – you walk in for one service but leave with three to five. They get people together to attack problems affecting the community in a coordinated, comprehensive way. They cannot do this work alone. They are grateful to their

volunteers, supporters, staff, and board of directors for their passion and dedication to Mercer County.

A pallet stocked with raincoats went to Arm In Arm, a Trenton-based nonprofit that provides housing, employment, and food support, and two pallets went to New Jersey locations of the American Red Cross. The Secaucus collection center of Medshare, an international humanitarian aid organization, received 10 pallets containing items including face shields, lab coats, and gowns. And Princeton Health shipped 10 pallets of raincoats to United Way Disaster Services locations in Delaware, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas.
