The Spaces That Shape Us

M

any factors play into shaping a person’s behaviors and experiences, but chief among them is the place where they live. Is their neighborhood safe? Are the schools good? Is there easy access to healthcare and fresh foods?

The Trenton Health Team — a nonprofit that addresses that issue head-on through partnerships with hospitals and community groups to improve access to quality healthcare, food, housing, and other resources — hosts an upcoming series of free online discussions on “How Spaces Shape Us.” The first of three events takes place Wednesday, February 17, at 6 p.m. on Zoom. The event can also be viewed live on Trenton Health Team’s Facebook page, and a recording will be posted online at www.trentonhealthteam.org.

The first discussion features Mindy Fullilove, a social psychiatrist and author who grew up in Orange, New Jersey. The daughter of a Black labor organizer father and white union hall secretary mother who campaigned for the desegregation of schools in Orange, Fullilove earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Bryn Mawr and a master’s in nutrition from Columbia before earning her medical degree from Columbia in 1978. She is a professor of urban policy and health at the New School in New

York and co-founder of the University of Orange, a free people’s urbanism school to build public capacity to create more equitable cities.

Her most recent book, “Main Street: How a City’s Heart Connects Us All,” was published by New Village Press in 2020. In the introduction, she describes the socioeconomic and psychological factors at work in cases of “urban renewal”: “At the level of the neighborhood, the processes of urban re-

In my book ‘Root Shock,’ I described the ways in which the centrifugal processes tear at people’s places and their lives. I asked the question, ‘When the center falls, what will hold?’

“The answer in the short term is that people take on the work of

place in order to keep their lives together. They band together in groups defined by ‘strong ties,’ the ties of family, religion, and tribe.

Yet these ties partition society. In the aftermath of urban renewal and planned shrinkage, the reformation of society around strong ties fed antagonism and intergroup hostilities: The solution became part of the problem, triggering a reinforcing, exhausting, and dangerous downward spiral.

“At the next level of scale, the effects of neighborhood destruction on the larger embedding society are very serious. This point is often overlooked, because, as I’ve described here, the neighborhoods that are destroyed are those of poor and minority people. The larger society is thought of as ‘white’ and ‘middle-class,’ and therefore comprised of people whose lives and fates are quite different and even insulated from the problems of the disadvantaged.”

Future speakers in the series include Endia Beal, a North Carolina artist, educator and author, who uses photography to reveal the often overlooked and unappreciated experiences unique to people of color, on Saturday, March 13; and Bryan C. Lee, who grew up in Trenton and is now an architect, educator, writer, and design justice advocate in New Orleans, on a date to be determined.

“We recognize health and wellbeing depend on more than just access to medical care,” Trenton Health Team Executive Director Gregory Paulson said in a statement. “How we grow up, what our

Presentations at the conference will be divided into two categories: 10-minute slots will be allotted to companies with a U.S. neighborhood looks like and where we live have long-term effects on our lives.

Off the Presses: ‘The White Coat Diaries’

M

by Dan Aubrey

adi Sinha’s first novel deals with a young Indian doctor struggling through her medical residency. Sinha was born in Princeton and raised and schooled in West Windsor, where her father worked at RCA/Sarnoff and Lucent technologies. Now a resident of Moorestown, the writer and practicing physician attended Villanova and Hahnemann Medical School.

She completed her own medical residency at Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia and captures that world in the following excerpt from the novel:

The Dryden Ensemble presents ‘Leycester Lyra Viol Lessons,’ a Zoom-based lecture and concert by Lisa Terry, on Sunday, February 14.

printing up the stairs would be easier if my white coat didn’t weigh 15 pounds. Senior residents like to joke that interns carry their lives around in their pockets. Mine are filled with two miniature textbooks, three pens, a stethoscope, a reflex hammer, a hospital ID badge, a penlight, a laminated map of the hospital, and a protein bar. A wearable emergency preparedness kit.

Unlike the embarrassingly short medical student’s white coat, which projects nothing but bewilderment and the deflection of responsibility (Me? Oh no, I’m not the doctor I’m a student. I’m just here to observe. Although once they let me catch a baby as it came shooting out of a woman’s birth canal. It was beautiful experience), the long doctor’s coat radiates confidence and capability: “Throw anything at me, I’m ready.”

In a code blue, the first doctor to arrive at the beside gets to “run” the code — be the leader and make treatment decisions — at least until the senior resident or attending arrives. I’ve seen codes run before, but this is my first opportunity to be at the helm. This is my chance, finally, to prove my abilities.

The first thing I lose from my coat pockets is a miniature pharmacopeia, a medication reference book. It bounces away down the stairwell, but I keep going, taking the stairwell, but I keep taking the stairs two at a time I’ll be damned if I can’t beat Stuart Ness from Harvard Medical School to room 512.

If I can’t compete with him academically, I’m determined to at least outrun him. I’ve met people like Stuart. There was always one in every class in college and medical school, someone for whom everything seemingly came easy, the curve-breaker, the guy who thought organic chemistry would be great if only it were a little more challenging.

Which is why I’m not entirely surprised when I see a blur of brown, perfectly groomed hair and green scrubs flash past me somewhere between room 485 and room 502. I arrive — perspiring excessively and panting — to see a breathless, ruddy-cheeked nurse standing over an elderly male patient. The nurse chews her lip and adjusts and re-adjusts her reading glasses, while Stuart, at her elbow, stares at the heart monitor above the bed. The tracing shows a heart rate dangerously fast and erratic, and the words “Critical Value” blink angrily on the screen The patient, his skin pale and clammy, his eyes wide with panic, speaks in a soft whimper. “What’s happening?”

“Your heart is beating too fast,” the nurse says, fiddling with the wires taped to the man’s chest. Her movements are confident, but worry ripples through her voice.

“He’s in A-fib,” Stuart announces, anxiously clutching his stethoscope with both hands. “Unstable

Off the Presses: ‘Bob Dylan: How the Songs Work’

I

by Dan Aubrey

n 2020 Princeton University Press (PUP) launched a new marketing, sales, and distribution partnership with Zone Books, a New York City-based independent, nonprofit publisher of arts, humanities, and social science titles. The book on the music of Bob Dylan is one of joint venture’s first titles — and a book that Princeton University professor and noted music scholar and musician Nigel Smith calls a “study that sets a gold standard.” In the following excerpt, Timothy Hampton, a professor of comparative literature and French at the University of California, Berkeley, puts Dylan’s work into an era’s historic and artistic context:

I

t is fair to say that Dylan’s work reveals a complexity and compaction not seen in the work of most other popular artist. That is, Dylan’s work feels “denser” or “deeper” (in an almost tactile sense, not necessarily in any philosophical sense) than that of most of his contemporaries. The American writer Ezra Pound emphasized that the poet is someone who makes language think, who condenses it — as the German word for poet, Dichter, comes from the word for “Thicken.” As a master of citation, a combiner, a collagist, a paster, a thickener, Dylan is able to lend a new density to song. His singing personal functions as a kind of medium or vehicle through which the listener can glimpse or hear the sonic landscape of some other moment or territory where “Bob Dylan,” the composer, seems to roam. This sense of density — what we might call the “Dylanesque” feature of his work — is achieved through a mastery of the art of combination or collage.

The multilayer density of Dylan’s songs and the metamorphic energy of the lyrics brings us to yet another sense of style, which links up the modern idea of “fashion” or “mode” — the contentions that dominate a particular moment but are soon set aside as “old fashioned” and rejected. This dynamic is, of course, the dynamic of mass production and of the modern culture industry. Dylan’s work consistently exploits the way fashion is transformed by the passage of time.

He turns again and again to the relationship between the “now” and the “future,” one the one hand, and, on the other hand, the archaic, the premodern, the quaint. To a degree unrivaled by any modern popular artist Dylan is a miner of old forms, an expeditionary heading back to the hoary world of the predigital modes of expression — old songs, old sentences, old images, old chords.

Dylan’s constant reflection on the “old” and the “new,” on what the poet Rimbaud called the “absolutely modern,” will help us to locate the songs in a history of forms.

Dylan’s work takes shape in the post-World War II moment, the moment of television and the automobile. Thus, the most pertinent historical context for understanding

his work may be less that of rock music, or of “the Sixties,” than of artistic modernism more generally.

By “modernism,” I have in mind that current of artistic experimentation that expands from the French Impressionists in the 19th century through the “geniuses” of the early 20th (Woolf, Stravinsky, Eliot, Eisenstein, Ellington, Picasso) and on to the emergence of a later “modernist” style after World War II (Pollock, Nabokov, Henry Moore, Charlie Parker, Orson Welles).

Dylan comes of age at the moment at which “modernism” first becomes recognized as a kind of international style in art and at which it begins to reach a mass audience, spreading beyond the world of the avant-gardes. Yet more pertinent than the history, for our purposes, are the technical discoveries of modern art: the focus on formal integrity as the response to historical chaos, the importation of “low” culture into “high” culture (and vice versa), the fragmentation of time and space, the continual vexed worrying about the past, about tradition and originality, the idea of culture as a ruin, the emphasis on artificial or invented objects and moments as bearers of peak or authentic experience within an increasingly unreal “real world.” Modernist art privileges the moment, an absolute contemporaneity that simultaneously seeks to break with history and take stock of its own relationship to what has been lost. It struggles to come to terms with a world that has been stripped of its religious magic by the logic of capitalism, what Max Weber called “the disenchantment of the world” Dylan’s reformulation, “It’s easy to see without looking too far that not much is really sacred,” from 1964’s “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” offers a later articulation of the same idea, written from the swirl of postwar industrial expansion and 1960s media culture.

Dylan differs from several of his contemporaries who went on to develop influential bodies of work as particularly “dense” or “poetic” songwriters. For example, Leonard

Cohen’s voice and songs seem to come from a bounded place of unusual concentration — at the intersection of the erotic and the spiritual — out of which he generates powerful insights about desire and regret. It is no accident that this type of intensity requires a deep focus on the frailty of the self (which we might see paralleled, biographically, in Cohen’s interest in Buddhism and Jewish mysticism). It results in a closely circumscribed though forceful, poetic vision.

O

r, to take another example, we could recall the works of Joni Mitchell, which generates much of its energy out of Mitchell’s selfdramatizing and romantic recreations of her own adventures in love and art. This might be linked to her pioneering status, along with Laura Nyro, as one of the first great female singer-songwriters. Lacking the ready-made paradigms of desire and amorous conquest available to their male colleagues, she generated her own counter stories by showcasing her escapades, triumphs, and foibles. This is reflected in Mitchell’s insistence on herself as “original” and an “artist.” Dylan, by contrast, offered an album called “Self Portrait” that consisted of sons by other people. Quite unlike both Cohen and Mitchell, Dylan radiates

outworld in his work, and his interest lies in absorbing into his singing persona all of the material of the culture around him.

To study Dylan’s art and its combinatory power, we need to take into his account the different ways in which he uses the “I” who appears in his compositions. This “I” is, of course, a fiction, just as the “I” of Shakespeare’s sonnets is a fiction and the “I” of Marty Robbin’s 1959 border ballad “El Paso” is a fiction.

It is a character that Dylan invites anew for each song. Sometimes that character knows many things.

Sometimes it knows little. Sometimes it thinks it knows more that it does. Sometimes it says more that it knows. Moreover, like many selfinvented artists, Dylan seems to locate his persona in relationship to various exemplary figures, both real and fictional (Woody Guthrie, Arthur Rimbaud, Jack Kerouac, Jay Gatsby, Billy the Kid, Rett Butler, Jack London). Yet, what I important about these figures is not their role in the development of personal identity — they will change — but rather the literary and musical resources they free up. In what follows I will be speaking interchangeability of the “hero” or “protagonist” or “narrator” of Dylan’s songs.

This question of the “I” poses interesting problems when we consider Dylan’s own location in his songs. Just as he is often most “po-

(Indeed, where can one find something like dignity at the end of the 1980s, the decade of arbitrageurs, Teflon presidents, and Spandex?)

Falconry Flying High and Under the Radar in NJ

W

by Dan Aubrey

inter doesn’t seem the best time of the year to connect with the nature — unless you’re one of the fewer than 50 or so New Jersey master falconers permitted and licensed to hunt through March.

“It is winter time, so we use small game hunting rules,” says Hugh Pribell on his farm in Columbus, New Jersey.

Generally known as Rocky, Pribell is a master falconer who says his interest in the ancient practice goes back to two experiences.

“My family was difficult,” he says about growing up in Moores­ town, New Jersey. “I remember reading a book in grade school, ‘My Side of the Mountain.’ It was published in 1959, the year I was born. The story had a kid who ran away from home, like I did.”

Pribell says he connected with the character’s emotional plight and was then captivated by the boy’s success of trapping a falcon to help get food.

“I knew at some point I would be a falconer,” he says, adding that the possibility seemed more real after he saw advertisements for buying hawks in a Boy’s Life Magazine — before current state laws and regulations limited that practice.

“The idea stuck with me, but life got in the way,” he says.

In the 1990s the married UPS worker with three sons struck up a friendship with a few falconers who invited him to go on a hunt — one where the handlers release birds to hunt prey.

There was one problem. “I had hurt my foot and was in a cast, but I said I was going. I was on crutches in a foot-and-a half of snow to hang out with falconers and watch them fly their birds.”

He says his earnestness impressed one of his friends so much that he offered to help Pribell become a falconer and started him on the lengthy and involved state-regulated process.

New Jersey master falconer Hugh ‘Rocky’ Pribell displays a red-tailed hawk, As Pribell explains it, “You one of several raptors he keeps on his Columbus farm. work with an apprentice two years to be trained with a proper ethic and to understand that this is a wild bird An historic timeline elsewhere bird.

sponsor and mentor for the twoyear apprenticeship. Four, review legal requirements and obtain the required gloves and related equipment and prepare a hawkhouse — aka a mews — to state specifications. Five, take the state exam and receive 80 percent or better to pass; and six, obtain a state hunting license.

Mentored through the above process by Princeton-based falconer Chris Brown, Pribell says the next step is to get a falcon or hawk.

And since New Jersey state regulations forbid the buying and selling of falcons and other raptors, the birds need to be trapped.

“You cannot take it from their nests,” says Pribell who says that if they are taken too young they will depend on — or “imprint” — a human being as their parents and source of food.

“You’re looking for an immature bird that has reached a partial age when it knows it is a falcon. At the end of the hunting season, the birds can be returned back into the wild.”

However, finding an immature bird is not always easy to discern.

Yet with time, Pribell says a falconer’s eyes become trained to tell the differences through eye colors, feature textures, and behavior. “Adults fly off, the immature don’t fear people,” he says.

To catch a bird, he says, he uses a federally approved BC, or, according to the American Falconry Club glossary, “a Bal-chatri: a cage like trap with live bait and monofilament nooses that catch the raptor by the feet.”

P

ribell, who makes his own traps by hand, says in order to trap a falcon or hawk he first places a mouse or sparrow inside the cage to attract attention. Then, with its focus solely on its prey, the bird swoops down without considering the cover and gets its talons caught.

The next step is to put the bird in the mews and work with it to build trust. That happens through a process of tethering and providing food.

“They don’t understand negative relationships. It only learns through positive reinforcement, and that is through food. You have to develop a relationship with a wild animal that will always be wild,” Pribell says.

Once the positive connection to a person as a benign food source becomes established, the falconer and bird are ready for the bird to be released for its first hunt — where the falcon or hawk watches the falconer walk through a field where “game sources come out in front of you — magically.”

There is also the moment of truth to see if a connection with the bird has been established and it returns to the falconer’s upraised Continued on following page

Life in the Fast Lane

uddenly they are back, like a migratory species. While waiting outside Small World for my espresso, I see a young woman being dropped off by her mom. The mom a bit frazzled from the drive, her hair plastered to her forehead. The girl wears a Princeton sweatshirt that I imagine she had gotten as a present when she learned she was accepted.

Falconry Continued from preceding page

gloved hand.

“After putting that time, it is disappointing if a bird up and flies off.

The beauty of falconry is that if you lose one, it’s only on you. The bird knows how to hunt and survive.”

As for the returning bird, Pribell says the reason may be that they come back because “we aren’t pushing them” and “I think the bird enjoys it.”

He says that the relationship is also healthy for the raptor, with captives seeing “their life span doubled or tripled.”

That claim is also argued by the New Jersey Falconry Club in an online statement: “With respect to falconers taking their birds from the wild, studies show that an estimated 75 to 80 percent of immature raptors die each year. Every time a falconer traps a passage raptor (one less than a year old), there are at least two probable results. The first is that the particular bird trapped will be helped to transition into its second year of life, which is an accomplishment that it only has a 20 to 25 percent chance of doing on its own in the wild.

“Second, one less bird has been temporarily removed from the competition for food and habitat.

Since the vast majority of falconry birds are released back to the wild, usually after one or two hunting seasons falconry actually benefits

wild raptor populations. In reality, however, there are too few falconers in the United States to truly impact wild raptor populations one way or the other. The true enemy of raptor populations is destruction of habitat for both themselves and their prey.”

It is also beneficial to humans.

“It’ a passion. I enjoy the freedom, and I think being one with your bird lowers my blood pressure,” says Pribell, who was born in Brooklyn to two parents involved in the liquor wholesale industry who eventually moved to Moorestown.

E

xcept for a brief time as a college geology student in Pennsylvania, Pribell lived mainly in Moorestown until he met his Columbus dairy-farm raised wife and moved into a Victorian-era building down the road from her family’s farm.

A lover of history — he has an intensive collection of oil lamps — and nature, Pribell operates Birds and Bees Farm.

The first part of the name is obvious and relates to his mews currently housing a red tail hawk and a great horned owl — the state has limits on how many raptors can be kept.

The second refers to his honey business began 15 years ago after retiring from UPS. “I love full-time beekeeping. It is the best job I have had, and I have the best boss I have ever had,” he says.

TCC Launches Artistic Advisory Board

Edited by Sara Hastings

T

he Trenton Children’s Chorus (TCC) has announced its inaugural Artistic Advisory Board in creative programming. Artistic director Vinroy D. Brown Jr. invited leaders from across the United States to actively support the organization in its mission to empower the academic, social, and spiritual lives of children through artistry in music.

“Understanding that the TCC experience for all (students and myself) could only be enhanced with further collaboration, I am grateful to our Board of Trustees who have allowed for the creation of TCC’s first ever Artistic Advisory Board. I’ve called upon colleagues and mentors from literally around the country — all who are leading artists, educators, conductors and musicians of our generation — to align themselves with our mission and purpose. I am so grateful for the direct line we now have with this all-encompassing group of individuals,” Brown said in a statement.

Regional members of the board include Chaequan Anderson, artistic director of the Glassbrook Vocal Ensemble in Ewing (U.S. 1, December 12, 2018), who has experience in music education with TCC as well as Princeton Girlchoir. Lynnel Joy Jenkins, artistic director at Westrick Music Academy, which houses Princeton Girlchoir and Boychoir, is also on the board. Other area members include Patricia Thel, TCC artistic director emerita; and Jason Vodicka, associate professor of music education at Westminster Choir College.

“One of my hopes for my role as Artistic Director was to develop an Artistic Advisory Board. This non-voting party would be comprised of colleagues and mentors of mine from around the country. This group would serve as a ‘think tank’ for larger TCC ideas and offer them an opportunity to affiliate with us through their own organizations. I am grateful to co-presidents Jill Jackson Carr and Nora Schultz for offering their support in this endeavor,” Brown said.

Sykes Foundation Gift Benefits Black Business Enterprises

T

he Red Bank-based Pascale Sykes Foundation has announced a $1 million investment in the Equitable Small Business Initiative to support Black business enterprises.

The contribution, made through New Brunswick-based community development nonprofit New Jersey Community Capital and the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey in Trenton, will allow for pandemic relief loans ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 and recovery loan sizes in yet-to-be-determined amounts.

The funding will help Black business enterprises in New Jersey seeking access to resources and support to establish, sustain, augment, or expand business operations, as well as those economically impacted by the pandemic.

“We’re honored to support initiatives like this,” Sykes Foundation president Fran Sykes said in a statement. “As sole proprietorships and family-run businesses primarily define the Black business community, they often require non-conventional loans and business guidance for sustainable growth. In collaboration with the AACCNJ and NJCC in this capacity, we can directly affect family-owned and operated businesses, be more inclusive, and positively affect a greater number of people.”

“Especially as this integral segment of

Raptors, like Rocky Pribell’s red-tailed hawk, provide falconers with up close and personal encounters with wildlife.

Referring back to his falconry, Pribell says he currently enjoys working with red tail hawks because they focus their attention on a smaller area and are more easily observed as they swoop.

What he doesn’t enjoy is the misunderstanding the public can have regarding falconry. They confuse it with hunting, which he feels is less restrictive and less ethical.

Although he doesn’t wear orange or carry a gun, he says, he sometimes gets mistaken for a hunter and has to account for himself, like the time someone suspected him of hunting eagles and reported him to the police.

“There is a saying. There are a thousand and one things that could happen with falconry, and only two are good. One is catching the bird and the other is it returning.”

But there are more. As Pribell says, “It’s the lifestyle you committed to. It is all about the bird. You put your heart and soul into its care so you can share into its life for a short time.

“At some point you have to trust your relationship and unclip the bird. It then has a choice. And when it chooses to come back to your

glove, it is wonderfully satisfying.”
