PU Protests Continue Into Second Week Over Title IX Reform

Students demanding action in response to their concerns over Princeton University’s sexual misconduct policies have continued their protests into a second week on the main lawn in front of Nassau Hall. Braving the elements throughout the rainy week since Tuesday afternoon May 7, Princeton Students for Title IX Reform (PIXR), ranging in number from a handful to about 200, continue to insist that the University “acknowledge that this is a crisis on our campus,” and “publicly address our concerns in a way that is oriented toward taking steps to resolve the issues we’re addressing,” said Junior K. Stiefel, one of the protest organizers. “The University has a long history of sending things to committees and collecting data, but not actually taking action.” A PIXR press release states, “The protest occurring on Nassau lawn is an active demonstration of the pain and indignation caused by the way in which the administration currently addresses sexual and interpersonal violence. As community members continue to suffer, PIXR will continue to push for systemic change.” Last Friday, Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber approved a request for an external review of the Title IX system, the second of PIXR’s 11 demands, but PIXR has rejected the University’s proposal that University Provost Deborah Prentice oversee the external review, claiming that “she has been directly implicated in the mishandling of Title IX cases.” Other PIXR demands include a call for “transparency and consistency in the Title IX processes”; “the establishment of an opt-in alternative restorative justice track for survivors who wish to avoid the traumatizing process of Title IX proceedings”; a group of independent, full-time, professional social workers to help survivors navigate the Title IX system; a fund set up to assist students with costs related to mental health services; departmentalization of the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies; mandatory and comprehensive sexual assault and Title IX training for all University hires and student leaders; the hiring of an international interpersonal coordinator to work with students on Continued on Page 8

Tight PPS Budget Forces Staff Cuts For the first time since 2010, Princeton Public Schools will be making reductions in staff, as a divided Board of Education (BOE) grapples with the challenges of moving forwarded with limited resources. At last week’s more than three-hour public meeting, the BOE voted 6-4 to approve the 2019-2020 budget, which calls for cuts of 10.2 full-time teaching positions and 10 instructional assistants, as well as other cuts and cost-saving measures. A number of teachers and parents spoke out at the meeting, condemning the cuts as unfair and claiming they would have a disproportionate impact on the most needy students. Board member Michele Tuck-Ponder, one of the “no” votes, shared their concerns. “The budget was balanced to the detriment of the most vulnerable students,” she said. “The pain needs to be equally felt. Contrary to our strategic goal of equity and fairness, a whole bunch of people aren’t going to feel any pain. What I don’t see is pain in advanced placement or in the orchestra, or areas we like to hold up and bandy about and say what a fine school district we are. Any school district that does not take care of the least of us is not a fine school district.” PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane weighed in on the question of equity,

saying, “I see the story differently. We’re still moving forward towards our goal of equity. We are continuously focused on our most vulnerable.” He cited positions added in recent years to support vulnerable students. “I see us saying we want to support our vulnerable. The budget is not my ideal, but it is fair and thought through carefully.” The reductions, some of which will take place by attrition, include one teacher at Community Park and one at Littlebrook;

four academic intervention services (AIS) teachers, one at each elementary school; and at Princeton High School (PHS), where enrollment is projected to be lower next year, one teacher each in English, social studies, and science; and a .4 partial teacher position in Latin, .4 teacher in health/adaptive PE, and .4 teacher in math. Cuts to administration and other staff will include the director of communications, a human resources Continued on Page 7

All-Pedestrian Cross Phase To Have Trial at Intersection

At a meeting of Princeton Council May 6, it was announced that the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) will conduct a two-week trial of a pedestrian-only phase in the crosswalk at the intersection of Nassau Street and Washington Road. The trial begins June 10. The intersection has long been considered dangerous. In October 2017, a woman was struck and killed by a cement truck turning left onto Washington Road from Nassau Street as she attempted to cross Washington Road. In 2016, the NJDOT had made some changes to traffic signals at those two streets, and

at Vandeventer Avenue, in an attempt to make the crossings safer. The NJDOT had initially rejected the municipality’s request for the pedestrian cross phase. But after a conference call early this month, a pilot program was proposed by the NJDOT. The idea had been suggested in previous studies of crosswalks on Nassau Street by the former Borough, and, more recently, with the municipality’s traffic safety and transportation committees, said Deanna Stockton, municipal administrator. The NJDOT sent a signal phasing schedule to the town, which is now being Continued on Page 7

Germond described the celebration as “the culmination of Family Gathering weekend, our annual tradition when we bring our exonerees together for a few days of healing, support, and, of course, celebration. Our entire family of exonerees is renewed and bolstered by time spent with the only other people who understand what they’ve been through — each other.” Centurion founder and board member Jim McCloskey, a Princeton Seminary graduate who became inspired by one of the wrongly convicted inmates he counseled as a student during his seminary fieldwork almost 40 years ago, stood before the group alongside Lamonte McIntyre, who spent 23 years in prison on a 1994 murder charge in Kansas City, Kansas, before his conviction was finally vacated two years ago. McCloskey told the story of how he, along with Centurion lawyer-volunteer Jock McFarlane, worked for some eight years in the face of a frustrating legal system and “a notoriously corrupt police officer” in “corrupt Wyandotte County” to prove McIntyre’s innocence. Now married with two children, McIntyre has part ownership in the barber college he attended and is on the board of Miracle of Innocence, a Kansas-based organization that works to exonerate wrongly-convicted people. The sagas continued, as Centurion Legal Director Paul Casteleiro told about David Bryant, who spent 44 years in prison for a murder and sexual assault he did not commit. Through “digging

victed of a 1992 nighttime drive-by shooting in Savannah, Georgia. In a case which should never have gone to trial, they served 26 years in prison before McCloskey and Centurion finally won their freedom in 2017, with all charges dismissed six months later, after a legal battle of almost nine years. Overzealous prosecutors, careless defense attorneys, mistaken identity, false confessions, coercive interrogations, and blatant racism — the tales continued. “A travesty of justice, egregious ineffectiveness of counsel,” Criterion Investigator Alan Maimon described in the case of Michael Shannon, who is finally free after nine years in prison in New Orleans. Ralph Lee Jr. of Paterson, New Jersey, recently exonerated after 24 years, thanked Centurion “for encouraging me to keep fighting. I chose not to give up. Life is living and living is freedom. Thank you all.” The cases, many of them without the benefits of DNA evidence, take years of research, re-interviewing witnesses, working with defense lawyers, and gathering new evidence. Centurion receives more than 1,500 requests for help each year and is currently developing more than 150 cases. All Centurion services are provided free of charge. The average cost to exonerate an innocent prisoner and provide necessary follow-up support, typically a process taking more than ten years, is about $350,000. “We work until we see the innocent people walk out of jail and, when possible, reunited with their families,” states the program introduction for Saturday’s event. “We work towards actual justice. Centurion is almost always the last hope — the only hope — for the innocent in prison.” —Donald Gilpin

staff member, a high school secretar y, a high school building monitor, and a .4 position of parent education and outreach coordinator. Jen n ifer Big ion i, PHS u nion liaison, librar ian, and mother of t wo PHS students, attacked the cuts that she claimed mostly spared administrators and went “to the heart and soul of the district, the people who have the contact with the students, who will keep class sizes down and electives running.” Citing the budget as a reflection of the BOE’s misplaced pr ior ities, Daf na Kendal, former BOE member and mother of two children in the district, echoed the concerns of Bigioni, Tuck-Ponder and others. “Teachers and services for the most vulnerable of students will be reduced,” she said. On the final resolution to pass the budget, Beth Behrend, Jessica Deutsch, Betsy Kalber Baglio, Brian McDonald, Gregory Stankiewicz, and Evelyn Spann voted “yes,” while Debbie Bronfeld, Daniel Dart, Bill Hare, and Tuck-Ponder voted “no.” In voicing her dissent, Bronfeld called for more creative cost-savings meas u re s, i n clu d i ng s hare d services and strategic partnerships w it h Pr inceton Char ter S chool and t he Cranbury School District. Both she and Dart cited the need to revisit an agreement with Cranbury, in particular Cranbury’s payment for their students who need

special education services. In an email Monday, BOE P r e s i d e nt B e h r e n d d i s cussed the fiscal and educational challenges. “We are fortunate in Princeton to have ten board members who are passionate about our students’ well-being, achievement, and equity. The devil is in the details, however, given our charge of providing a ‘thorough and efficient’ education for a steadily growing student population within increasingly constrained financial means. It can be frustrating to be responsible for vision, goals, and student well-being with little to no control over major cost drivers such as obligations to pay labor, benefits, and charter school tuition, which are rising faster than the 2 percent levy cap supports.” She continued, “This year for the first time in a decade, we had to make structural adjustments to balance the books, reducing and redirecting staff to support and educate students, for less. This budget, with its difficult reductions, passed with majority support, enabling us to begin planning for the challenges ahead.” Cochrane commented further on the budget process and the district’s commitment to equity. “We also looked beyond the budget at creative ways to actually provide more services with fewer resources,” he stated. “We are increasing our connections to our community partners. Through shared services and collaborative grants, we are cost-effectively expanding the network of people to support our stu-

dents.” He went on to point out, “We are a district fully committed to equity, and our budget continues to support professional development for all our staff in equity-related efforts such as differentiation of instruction and awareness of implicit bias.” The total budget for next year, $100,425,988, represents a 1.42 percent increase over this year. Principal “drivers” of the budget increase, according to a PPS “2019 -20 Budget Q & A” publication, include total salary expenditures, which have increased an average 3.5 percent per year over the past five years due to a growing student population and contractual obligations to staff; employee health and prescription drug coverage, up 8 percent for next year, 6 percent average increase over the past five years; and PCS tuition, up 6 percent for next year and an average of 8 percent per year over the past five years. The 2019 school tax rate is projected to mean an additional $264 for a home in Princeton assessed at the average value of $838,562. The PPS Q&A document notes the necessity of mak-

ing staff cuts to close the budget gap. With nearly 77 percent of operating costs associated w it h salar ies and benefits, “Ultimately, we had no choice but to balance the budget by including reductions in our staff of approximately 3 percent,” the document states. Behrend outlined some of the challenges ahead for the board. “Given current trends, our structural deficit will continue, and we are all keenly aware of the need to proactively ‘rethink’ how we deliver services to our students, within our means and in accordance with our mission, over the longer term. This effort will take innovation, creativity, and collaboration — resources that the Princeton community has in abundance.” She continued, “We look forward to mobilizing these resources and to working w ith our administrators, staff, students, and community to find a way, despite fiscal challenges, to maintain and develop our public schools as places of equity, wellness, and excellent teaching and learning.” —Donald Gilpin

evaluated. “We’ve taken a look at what they’ve sent us, and we think it looks reasonable,” Stockton said this week. It is concerns about increased traffic congestion that have made the NJ DOT reluctant to install the pedestrian-only signal phase. “NJDOT has a responsibility for providing safe pedestrian accommodations on state roadways while not increasing traffic congestion and gridlock on a critical roadway through any town,” spokesperson Stephen Schapiro wrote in an email. “Balancing these concerns is paramount for any roadway improvements NJDOT considers. Upon completion of the trial, NJDOT will review the findings to determine what is best in terms of safety and operational performance at the intersection for all users.” Stockton said that traffic congestion “is not the determinant of success in this case for Princeton, while what we understand from the state is that they want to move traffic. We want to accommodate all road users. It might turn out that

everybody has to wait a little bit longer to have safe movement in the corridor.” The NJDOT will re-time the signal to provide an all-pedestrian cross phase that is activated only when pedestrians push a button and wait until the pedestrian interval appears. At last week’s meeting, Stockton said, “We’re really excited this opportunity has presented itself to us after all the hard work of the mayor and Council in pushing back on the previous denials.” T he tow n w ill have a follow-up meeting with the NJDOT on June 24. “If it is determined to be successful, we may be allowed to continue,” Stockton said. “We will put out more information to let the public know how this is supposed to work. There is a fallback plan if we do find some unintended consequences. It could allow more time for people to cross. Right now, pedestrians who want to cross Nassau Street actually get a three-second head start in front of the vehicles, but there is the possibility we can adjust that if we want to try something other than the all-pedestrian cross phase.” —Anne Levin

international programs; increased representation and accessibility within survivor-oriented spaces; and a commitment from the University to combat Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’ proposed rollbacks of Title IX protections. As “a show of good faith,” in response to the University’s objection, PIXR modified its last demand, removing its call for the termination of Regan Crotty as the Title IX coordinator. Though refusing for the most part to respond to or discuss specific demands, the University has issued statements of support for PIXR’s overall goals. “Over the past several days, Princeton University students have raised concerns around the University’s current sexual misconduct investigation and adjudication processes,” the Universit y Office of C o m m u n i c at i o n s s t ate d last week. “The University respects and benefits from st udent perspectives on how these important issues are handled. Input from the community is critical to our efforts to maintain a safe, supportive, and fair environment on campus that is free from sexual misconduct and all forms of discrimination.” A May 10 University press release cited changes made in recent years to strengthen the University’s policies that prohibit sexual misconduct and its procedures for investigating and addressing cases, including enhancing training on sexual harassment and misconduct for students, faculty, and staff;

implementing a new policy prohibiting all faculty from initiating or engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with graduate students (a similar ban between faculty and undergraduates has been in place for a number of years); adding staff dedicated solely to Title IX issues; expanding training for administrators who serve as Title IX advisers; and making numerous changes to the Sexual Misconduct website and “Rights, Rules, Responsibilities” to clarify procedures and practices and make it easier to access information and resources. Chaired by Vice President for Campus Life W. Rochelle Calhoun, a joint meeting of the Faculty-Student Committee on Sexual Misconduct and the University Student Life Committee met Monday afternoon, May 13, to begin discussing concerns raised by the PIXR activists. PIXR representatives participated for part of the meeting, explaining their concerns on a range of issues. “These concerns will be rev iewed in conjunction with the ongoing work of the committees to improve University policies and procedures regarding sexual misconduct on campus,” the University Office of Communications announced. The committee also committed to sharing its next steps with the University community in the coming days. “The administration has taken care not to respond explicitly to the majority of our demands,” said sophom or e pr ote s t or g a n i z e r Schuyler Kean, skeptical of the likelihood of meaningful change in the University’s actions. “Princeton Univer-

sity has had a long history of mismanagement of sexual misconduct.” Anna Macknick, also a PIXR sophomore organizer, added, “So many people on campus have had these experiences. It’s shocking to me that the University is prioritizing its reputation over the well-being of its students.” —Donald Gilpin

Grant Will Fund Mercer Bikeway

A transportation project is in the works that will make it easier for people to navigate the western part of Mercer County on two wheels, County Executive Brian M. Hughes has announced. The County has received a $2,365,900 federal Regional Transportation Alternatives Program grant through the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for design and construction of the Mercer County Great Western Bikeway, a bicycle route along County Route 546 — variously known as Washington Crossing-Pennington Road, Pennington-Lawrenceville Road, and Franklin Corner Road — and several of its approaches that seeks to maximize connectivity to the existing trail and bike network in the County. “This project will pro vide bicycle access to many neighborhoods and recreational facilities in Ewing, Hopewell Township, Pennington, and Lawrence,” Hughes said. “We’ve seen the creation of numerous walking and biking trails in Mercer Cou nt y, such as the immensely popular Lawrence-Hopewell Trail, and this bikeway will fur-

ther expand people’s ability to forgo their cars and safely get around.” The improvements to County Routes 546, 611 (Scotch Road), 624 ( PenningtonRocky Hill Road), and 640 (North Main Street in Pennington) — which may include on-road bicycle lane markings, two-way cycletracks, or multi-use paths adjacent to the roadway — will provide access among Pennington Borough, Ewing Town Center, Ewing Public Library, the Village of Lawrenceville, Brandon Farms, the D&R Canal, and Washington Crossing state parks, Mercer Meadows, and the Twin Pines soccer complex, as well as the Johnson Trolley Line Trail, which provides connections to the Lawrence-Hopewell Trail and Lawrence Township’s Village Park. The next step will be authorization of a contract for the design phase of the project. Detailed final construction costs will be identified during the design process and NJDOT will allocate additional funds, if necessary.

Investors Foundation Donates to AlumniCorps

Princeton AlumniCorps recently received a $5,000 grant from Investors Foundation at its headquarters in Princeton. The grant will help further AlumniCorps’ mission to “mobilize people, organizations, and networks for the public good.” AlumniCorps pursues its mission by providing leadership training programs across the arc of civic engagement, catalyzing an expanding network of engaged citizens and organizations, and creating and deepening social impact. “We are thrilled to receive this support from Investors Foundation for our flagship prog ram, t he P r inceton Project 55 (PP55) Fellowship,” said Kef Kas din, AlumniCorps’ president and executive director. “Since it began in 1990, nearly 2,000 PP55 fellows have launched public service careers by working with organizations in areas such as education, public health, community development, and the envi-

ronment, collectively impacting thousands of individuals through their work. The New Jersey/New York area has, by far, the largest number of PP55 fellows — this year we have four fellows lending their talents to New Jersey nonprofits such as the Office of Religious Life and New Community Corporation, while in NYC, we have 20 fellows working at nonprofits including FiCycle, the Coalition for Hispanic Family Services, Emma’s Torch, New Alternatives for Children, and many others.” Project 55 places recent graduates at nonprofits, providing them with formative, meaningful work experience along with educational seminars, professional development, and mentoring provided by the AlumniCorps net work. By connecting high-achieving, passionate young people with formative experiences at nonprofits, the program instills in them a greater awareness of critical social issues and their capacity to effect change. More than 60 percent of Princeton Project 55 fellows remain in the sector once their fellowship is complete. For more about their work, v isit t he prog ram blog, www.alumnicorps.org/leadingedge.

Story of French Resistance Leader Draws Overflow Crowd to Library Despite pouring rain, it was standing room only Monday evening at Princeton Public Library, where author Lynne Olson spoke about her best-selling book, Madame Fourcade’s Secret War: The Daring Young Woman Who Led France’s Largest Spy Network Against Hitler, published earlier this year by Random House. Interviewing the prolific Olson, who was making her third appearance at the library, was William Storrar, director of Princeton’s Center of Theological Inquiry. The story of Marie-Madeleine Fourcade is almost unbelievable — but it’s true. Born into privilege, the glamorous young mother of two headed the largest and most influential spy network in occupied France during World War II. “She did so much to help the Allies win the war, but nobody really knows about her,” said Olson, a former journalist whose previous books include Citizens of London, A Question of Honor, and Last Hope Island. “She was the head of the largest and most influential Allied spying organization, and the only woman. I thought, ‘Why in the world didn’t I know about her? What little I learned made me what to know more.” Olson decided she wanted to focus solely on Fourcade, who died in 1989 at the age of 79. During Fourcade’s childhood, her father was headquartered in Shanghai, “a wild, wooly city filled with Chinese drug warlords, W hite Russians escaping from the Bolsheviks,” and

other assorted characters, Olson said. That childhood gave Fourcade a taste for danger. “It really had an impact on her. She loved risk and adventure.” Fourcade moved to Paris and married at 18. The fact that her husband was being sent to Morocco, which had a reputation for intrigue, might have been a deciding factor for the adventurous young woman, but he wanted her to be a traditional wife. She left him after having two children. “She was a huge fan of car rallies and she could fly a plane,” Olson said. “She also worked for a radio station. She was breaking every role she possibly could.” Fourcade got involved in helping to gather intelligence after becoming frustrated by the French people’s willingness to go along with the German occupation. Having grown up in Shanghai rather than in Paris, she had not experienced the horrors of World War I. “In 1940, no one was thinking of resisting the Germans,” Olson said. “She didn’t understand that. When the people wanted to capitulate, she just couldn’t support that.” The young spy-in-the-making worked first for a magazine covering military action in Europe, then for a center helping displaced French military veterans, and finally as a spy for the organization known as Alliance. She soon became its leader. Alliance was the largest and most important Allied spy net work in occupied France. Its 3,000 agents

collected infor mation on German troop movements, submarine sailing schedules, airfields and anti-aircraft defenses, and the Reich’s new terror weapons, the V-I flying bomb and the V-2 rocket. “She really ran three networks,” Olson said. “She was extraordinarily resistant. She was in constant danger to her own life.” By 1943, Fourcade was on the run from the Gestapo, which was “more brutal than ever,” Olson said. She was also pregnant thanks to an affair with a French Air Force pilot. In Lyon, she gave birth to a baby boy, but quickly returned to the business of gathering intelligence. Among Fourcade’s most dangerous dodges of the Gestapo were a nine-hour freezing train ride into Spain, during which she was stuffed into a mailbag; and an escape from a prison cell in a military barracks, where she oiled her slim frame and squeezed through window bars, naked, with her dress in her teeth. Somehow, she made it back to Paris and eluded the enemy. Olson first encountered Fourcade while researching her book Last Hope Island. “I had done research previously on the French and Polish resistance, but she was different,” she said. How had she managed to survive, thrive, and so heavily influence the course of the war? “Marie-Madeleine Fourcade was unlike any other woman I have done research on,” Olson said. “Everyone I spoke to, including her daughter, said the same thing: She had an aura of authority. And she was incredibly charismatic. She just didn’t give up.” —Anne Levin

CELEBRATING INCLUSION: At Community Options’ recent ceremony honoring Jovani Rodriguez, Patricia Pavlovsky, and Allen Reigert, those on hand were, from left: Paula Nessler, director of supported employment, Community Options; Assemblyman Dan Benson; Rodriguez, senior food service worker, Aramark; Pavlovsky, assistant program manager, Community Options; Reigert, director of food services, Aramark; Richard Freeman, president and CEO, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton; Hamilton Township Council President Jeff Martin; Scott Crass, constituent services director for Senator Linda Greenstein; and Svetlana Repic-Qira, regional vice president, Community Options.

Community Options Honors Individuals

Community Options, Inc. presented three awards to individuals for outstanding achievements and for promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Jovani Rodriguez, Allen Reigert, and Patricia Pavlovsky received awards during a ceremony at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton. Rodriguez had been a volunteer at the RWJ Hospital in Hamilton for three years through the Community Options STEP21 program. His consistent work ethic and dedication as a volunteer was recognized by Reigert, director of food services for Aramark at RWJ Hamilton. He recruited Rodriguez to come work for him once he completed STEP21. Working alongside job coach Pavlovsky, Reigert went the extra mile to hold the position for Rodriguez. Both he and Pavlovsky worked to ensure that everything was set up for him to begin working as soon as possible. Today, Rodriguez is a senior food service worker and continues to make great strides towards his independence. “Jovani’s achievement is a testament to his hard work and perseverance, as well as the collaborating efforts of Allen and Patricia,” said Svetlana Repic-Qira, regional vice president of Community Options. “People with disabilities face significant hurdles when seeking employment. Success stories like Jovani’s are possible thanks to employers that are able to recognize his unique talent and potential.” ST E P21 was desig ned by Community Options to prov ide indiv iduals w ith disabilities with real world, hands-on training while exploring a number of different career paths. STEP21 is a progression of Commu n it y Opt ions’ S chool to Employment Program (STEP), a job training and transition program for high school students and young adults with special needs. STEP provides students with transferable vocational education and relevant social skill development as part of their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Community Options has partnered with RWJ Hamilton for 10 years to provide vocational training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The

partnership has resulted in employment for individuals such as Rodriguez, who may have been overlooked as a job applicant elsewhere. “We are proud of our 10 years of partnership with Community Options,” said Richard Freeman, president and CEO of RWJ Hamilton. “Together, we are promoting the culture of diversity and inclusion that is inherent in the mission and values of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton.” The three also received recognition from Assemblyman Dan Benson, Council President Jeff Martin, and Scott Crass, representing Senator Linda Greenstein. All three were presented with Joint Legislative Resolutions from the New Jersey State Legislature and Proclamations from the Hamilton Township Council.

Sarah Thompson Senior Living Director Earns Recognition

This recognition goes to one Artis associate in the Princeton Junction Community, who best exemplifies the care philosophy of Building Positive Partnerships the Artis Way, as expressed by these five ARTIS tenets: Ability to Have a Voice, Respecting and Maintaining Relationships, Treasuring Each Person’s Uniqueness, Integrity, and Success and Recognition. Thompson began as an assistant to the Life Enrichment Team at Artis. She was promoted to director of life enrichment in January of

Alerting Town to “Deplorable” Conditions On Bank Street

To the Editor: Bank Street is the most deplorable street in Princeton. The sidewalks are busted, uneven, and repaired with asphalt, the pavement is potholed and pitched. The curbs are deteriorated, the trees have been mauled. It has a mass of overhead wiring and cable hanging from wood poles, that primarily served the downtown, with sodium cobra-head riot lighting from the ’60s. It is the most distressed street in Princeton with some of the most deteriorated and unkempt properties at the bottom end. For years, since Mayor Marvin Reed, the borough, and now the town has promised it would repair and upgrade this street. Now for more than 20 years this street has been allowed to deteriorate while millions of dollars were collected in property taxes by the 28 lots on the street. Since we have owned our house we have paid over $340,000 in taxes. Recently a plan was prepared to upgrade the street. One feature that the residents and owners wanted was to have the overhead wiring and cables places underground. We were told that it was not possible for the town to pay, but if we wanted the wires buried it would cost each owner $70,000 in addition to the extraordinarily high taxes current paid. The plan to upgrade the street includes new sidewalk curbs, pavement, new water and sewer lines that the owners will have to pay to be connected. Given that the overhead wiring and cables will remain, many thought that at least the street could have four or five historic decorative light posts, similar to the ones around the University. The poles and fixtures would cost about $24,000 not including installation. We were told that the sidewalks were too narrow although they exist on Chambers Street in locations were the sidewalk is narrower. The owners were told by the mayor and engineer that the work to improve the street was to start and be completed this summer. Princeton is dependent on a grant from the state to complete the work. The owners were recently informed that they do not have the grant and therefore the work except for the water main will be delayed yet again. Now there is no definitive time table for these improvements — perhaps in six months. We were told this before and are still waiting. Many streets in town are looking shabby but none as shabby as Bank Street. Are we the taxpayers on Bank Street getting back something for the millions in property taxes we have paid for the last 30-plus years? The mayor and the Council should be ashamed of themselves for such blatant neglect. Perhaps it is time for more responsible leadership. We all believe that with proper upgrading Bank Street could be one of the most unique, beautiful, historic streets in town. Is Princeton financially in dire straits? It appears so if you have seen Bank Street. TONY NELESSEN Bank Street

Closing of Pins and Needles Should Be a Wake-Up Call

To the Editor: Princeton will be a ghost town with empty store fronts if we as residents in and around town do not support our local merchants. Shopping locally is not just a slogan, it’s our civic duty if we want to live in a vibrant town with local shops and services that serve our needs. The next time you start to press “A” for Amazon, ask yourself, “Could I buy this in town from a friendly shop owner who actually might help me make the right choice about a product?” It’s up to us to keep our stores open. If we don’t support them, they cannot survive. The closing of Pins and Needles was a wake-up call. Let’s turn it into a call to support our local merchants. KATE DENBY Skillman

Impressed By Michelle Pirone Lambros At Recent Princeton Council Debate

To the Editor: I was very impressed with Michelle Pirone Lambros at the recent Princeton Council debate held at the First Baptist Church. On every topic, from Smart Growth to economic development, her statements were clear and direct. One did not need a degree in urban planning to understand what she was saying. She was the only candidate to point out that the recent parking meter rollout should not have been done until we, the residents of Princeton, had the opportunity to examine the plan and given a forum for comment. It appears that Council had accepted the recommendations of consultants, without critical analysis by those who park in Princeton. Another example of a recent Council decision that is having unintended consequences is the closing of the Terhune Road-Route 206 intersection and the “in-your-face” placement of the fueling station. We need Michelle Pirone Lambros on Council for her voice of reason and measured consideration. She’s my kind of Democrat! LINCOLN HOLLISTER Ridgeview Road

Notifying Authorities About Unsightly Object on Harrison Street

To the Editor: We residents of Princeton New Jersey pride ourselves that we live in a town that houses an elite university, culture, higher learning, and more. And yet, on one of the busiest roads in town, one where many people, residents and others travel every day, there is a “thing” that is dangerous, ugly, and unbecoming of our community. That “thing” is on Harrison Street. If one comes from Route 1 and goes west on Harrison Street, before crossing the bridge over Lake Carnegie near the MPH sign on the north side or right hand side of the road, there is a large wire trunk, hanging down, swinging in the breeze, with a black plastic bandana wrapped around the wire trunk. The black plastic looks like an ISIS flag. The wire trunk looks ugly and must be dangerous, just swinging there. If someone grabs or touches that trunk, they may be electrocuted. I am surprised that some township engineer, or some official from the electric company, has not corrected the situation. We are better than a “banana republic.” I ask the appropriate municipal engineer will place this wire trunk where it belongs. And correct a To the Editor situation that is both ugly and dangerous.

Skills and Experience Make Mia Sacks Right Choice for Council

To the Editor: I’m writing to express my strong support for Mia Sacks, in the June 4 Democratic primary for Princeton Council. Mia’s experience working in civil liberties, public health, and international human rights gives her a valuable perspective and unique set of skills to address the challenges Princeton faces. Her roles as a policy advocate for Human Rights Watch, as a Program Officer at the Soros Foundation, and as part of the senior communications team at the ACLU, have all trained her to think strategically about how to communicate issues and coalesce allies to support common goals. Most importantly: for Mia, human rights begin at home. This means that people, especially those most vulnerable among us, will be her priority — not any one sector of the community. In the last decade, Mia has demonstrated leadership throughout the community and worked capably with our elected leaders in both the municipality and our schools. She and I serve on the steering committee of the Princeton Progressive Action Group, a group of local residents committed to economically equitable and sustainable municipal planning. We’ve advocated for preserving middle class housing options; and early on we called for parking policies that address the issue of employee parking first — and include local merchants in the planning. Mia has the ear and support of many of Princeton’s most respected planning professionals. They have observed her commitment to smart growth and to sensible, sustainable planning on the Environmental Commission, the Planning Board, and the Board of Sustainable Princeton. Mia has deployed the skills she developed as a policy advocate to bring people together around issues of local importance. She has advocated for building resiliency into our municipal infrastructure, for the adoption of energy conservation measures in our schools that save taxpayer money, and for safe and sustainable transportation practices within our town. Mia is often the first to identify potential conflicts among community stakeholders or structural obstacles to progress. She excels in working to ensure that impacted groups are informed and that the process is collaborative. Local issues are frequently more challenging to understand and address than most would expect. In a small town, strong personalities add an additional layer of complexity. We need Council members who are quick synthesizers of vast quantities of information and committed to open communication and respectful dialogue. Mia has long proven her ability to comprehend and communicate information across the full spectrum of issues the town faces — from budgets to operations to vision for the future. Even more importantly, she has demonstrated her willingness to patiently listen without judgment, and to make sure she understands all sides of an issue before reaching a conclusion. At this critical moment for Princeton, we need Mia working for us. Please join me in voting on June 4 for Mia for Princeton Council.

Calling for PSRC to Reconsider Cancellation of Fitness Program

To the Editor: It has been clearly expressed by researchers and writers on the subject that the best thing seniors can do for their health and well-being is regular exercise. Both aerobic and resistance training are recommended. In a new study, reported in the Science section of the May 7 New York Times, it was shown that exercise may even improve brain function. The Princeton Senior Resource Center has a program which fulfills this important need. The class meets at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday. Participants pay $60 per month. On April 24 we were informed that the Center was cancelling the class as of May 31. We are devastated. We urge those who support the Senior Center to reconsider this unconscionable decision and reverse it. GINGER LENNON Pardpe Road Continued on Next Page

W-J Neighborhood Association Thanked for Candidates Event

To the Editor: Sincere thanks to the Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association for organizing the excellent Candidates for Council forum at the First Baptist Church on John Street May 4. (Town Topics, May 1). The questions posed by the moderators were pertinent and the organization of the event was superb! The forum highlighted the differences between the candidates in their solutions (or lack of solutions) to critical issues affecting the community and provided the near capacity crowd with important and needed information!

With Spring Here, Resident Asks What the Legal Limit Is for Noise

To the Editor; Beautiful spring is now upon us. The trees are leafing out, the grass is growing, the flowers are blooming. All is beautiful in that spring-like way! I am wondering, though, what the legal limit is for noise. Leaf blowers have also become snow blowers, grass blowers. So while the noise from them used to be limited to a certain phase of the year, we now have those sounds most of the year. Trees are cut down and/or trimmed back. More noise and plenty of it. And how about mowers? Beyond the noise, how about the environmental impact that these gasoline-powered machines use? How about the military interests we have around the world to support the gas and oil we use so that our grass can be short? The USA has come up with some good inventions over the years. Surely we can figure out this one. There is no need to accept noise and pollution as a byproduct of maintaining lawns or anything else. It is not enough to (as we so proudly do in Princeton) KNOW about things. Let that knowledge move us to change our ways so that the greener world we all need is healed. It is possible. And no, I am not asking anyone to “take a small step” in this effort. Huge steps and many steps are required at this point. Not by some but by all. Now then, while my house and property are eco-friendly, there is much in my life (this laptop for example) that makes me somewhat of a hypocrite in this conversation. I also drive a car; but I do group my errands. I do not buy anything with styrofoam. I avoid plastic whenever possible. Still, there is much need for improvement and much of that responsibility is in the hands of manufacturers. Wealth has only one element that is financial. Wealth is also a healthy, all natural, environmentally-safe life. Hopefully, whoever reads this will also think of ways to live quieter, healthier, and happier lives. Let’s try it! GEORGINA A. LAIDLAW Cherry Valley Road

Suggestions About Restarting Princeton’s Composting Program

To the Editor: It was a curiously satisfying and energizing experience to attend the recent meeting on the composting program covered in Town Topics (May 1, pg. one), and observe residents, municipal officials, and staff enthusiastically exchanging ideas and information in order to solve an intractable, difficult problem: how to deal with … our garbage. Such are the times in which we live! It was encouraging to hear that every effort is being made to restart the composting program. It would be worthwhile to invest extra funds to re-establish this same program, which might be expanded by using a per-bag trash disposal fee to encourage waste minimization and participation in the organics collection program. There seemed to be considerable enthusiasm for accepting the gift of a biodigester from the MetLife Stadium. While in general one might not want to look a gift horse in the mouth, in this instance great skepticism is warranted. For example, this equipment might accommodate a small expansion in the program which had about 1,000 participants, but could not cope with all the waste generated by about 7,000 homes, much less that from restaurants and apartment dwellers. One person mentioned the challenge of odor emissions; many people seemed to dismiss this concern since the plant would be located near the sewage processing plant. This is unwise. We knew people who lived near the sewer plant who objected vociferously to any sewage plant smell. Waste processing equipment is usually installed in an airtight building kept at negative pressure, with exhausted air carefully deodorized. The cost of a specialized enclosure is not included in the overall plan, nor was a service contract mentioned. It would also be important to understand why MetLife wants to give this piece of equipment away. It would seem that if Princeton wants to move to a system that is more involved than residential sorting and remote composting, it should be to one that is much more capable and less problematic than a biodigester. Such a system does exist and is widely used in Europe as well as in one town in the U.S. (Martinsburg, West Virginia) with another (Rensselaer, N.Y.) in the permitting process. This is important, as one does not want to be the first to suffer through an unknown permitting procedure with state and federal authorities. The new plant uses mechanical biological treatment (MBT) of unsorted municipal solid waste (MSW) to produce a renewable solid fuel at about 50 percent efficiency. Trash is

screened in a large rotary drum; plastic bags are broken open and water content reduced with fresh and recirculated warm air; only heat generated by the decomposing organic material is needed. The processing equipment is housed in an airtight, negative pressure building and the contract stipulates, among other guarantees, that there will be no off-site odor. This plant capacity is much larger than what is needed by Princeton, and should be regarded as a regional (Mercer County?) solution to the MSW challenge. This higher technology MBT approach is probably more expensive that a crude “landfill” operation, but well worth the extra investment considering the negative impact of piling up mixed waste in large mountains for the next generation to deal with.

Four Former Mayors Endorse Lambros for Princeton Council

To the Editor: We write as Princetonians, Democrats, and former mayors to endorse Michelle Pirone Lambros for Princeton Council. The last quarter century has brought Princeton to a crossroads. Transformations in infrastructure, public services, and housing challenge us to match our unique history with 21st century realities. We need to make the best decisions for all Princetonians, whether they descend from six generations or have recently arrived without official papers. To succeed, we need a Council with a breadth of experiences and talents. Michelle stands out as the much-needed fresh Democratic voice to complement the current Council’s skills and sensibilities. In our experience, a collective 20 years as Princeton’s mayor, municipal government works best when a variety of perspectives and backgrounds come into play. Michelle understands the importance of bringing together multiple stakes holders. She’s a keen and tested negotiator who played a central role in winning last week’s ruling to reduce parking meter rates. She’s an active and responsive listener who works her heart out to deliver. At this decisive moment, Princeton can’t afford to stick with a worthy status quo. It needs an expansive Council, where the conventional wisdom is open to question. It needs Michelle Pirone Lambros, whom we support with confidence and enthusiasm. CATHLEEN R. LITVAK, PHYLLIS L. MARCHAND, BERNIE MILLER, MICHELE TUCK-PONDER

Tim Quinn’s “Outreach” Made Princeton “Feel Like Home”

To the Editor: Princeton has been our home for nearly five years. We feel fortunate to be represented by a mayor and Council that actively engages with all residents — even relative newcomers such as ourselves. Councilperson Tim Quinn was one of the first people in local government that we met after he was first elected in 2016. We could tell that Tim was no ordinary candidate. He treated us like he was our neighbor. He took the time to follow up with us, and invited us to upcoming town hall meetings. His outreach is what made Princeton feel like home. Tim is a genuine candidate who listens to all members of the Princeton community, whether they have lived in Princeton their entire lives, moved here recently to raise a family, or are calling it home for a short time in pursuit of a higher degree. Tim knows that those who rent, like ourselves, have an equal stake in the future of the town’s planning process, and he wants to make sure that we have a seat at the table. For example, when the town’s composting program was put on hold, Tim focused on the positives. He sees it is a new start for Princeton to re-evaluate how we can tackle these issues ourselves. Tim intently listened to our concerns, and wants to see more options available in the new composting plan so that everyone in Princeton can participate, not just the homeowners and business owners. Tim is a candidate who is looking at Princeton’s future.

Friends of Herrontown Woods Thank Girl Scouts of Cadette Troop

17 • TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2019

Mailbox

To the Editor: The Friends of Herrontown Woods (FOHW) would like to thank the eighth-grade girl scouts of Cadette Troop 72905 for the work they have been doing at Princeton’s first nature preserve, Herrontown Woods. Their initial contribution was a workday, when they helped weed the botanical garden we are creating next to the parking lot, and conducted a “seed bombing” to add native species of wildflowers to the detention basin rain garden that FOHW takes care of at Smoyer Park. More recently, with guidance from troop leader Pallavi Nuka and other FOHW volunteers, three members of the troop — Anika Simons, Lucy Kreipke, and Katherine Monroe — have developed and carried out a work plan for their Girl Scout Silver Award project. They created brochures, recorded podcasts, designed a logo, and built and installed signage in front of the Veblen House and Cottage, describing the buildings’ remarkable history, the Veblens’ generous donation of Herrontown Woods and buildings to the public trust, and the work of FOHW to give these public assets the care and repair they deserve. The troop also hosted an Earth Day event at Herrontown Woods, leading girls and parents from Daisy Troops 72835 and 71829 on a nature walk, followed by a weeding session on the grounds of Veblen House. The girls enthusiastically pulled garlic mustard, an invasive weed, tracking down every last one as if it were an Easter egg hunt. The troop had their work on display at Sustainable Princeton’s fabulous GreenFest this past weekend. The initiative, resourcefulness, and positive energy they have brought to this project is an inspiration to all of us, as we work to make Herrontown Woods an even better place to visit. We would also like to thank Mark Manning, science teacher in Hopewell, and John L. Clark of the Lawrenceville School for sharing their deep knowledge of the natural world as they led recent nature walks at Herrontown Woods. Keeping our nature preserves accessible for events like these, as a warming earth loads New Jersey’s skies with rain, has been an extraordinary challenge for volunteer groups in Princeton. Preserved land serves as a giant sponge to absorb rain and slowly release it into streams. For our part, the Friends of Herrontown Woods has been responding by installing hundreds of locally sourced stepping stones to keep all but the wettest trails navigable. Our toil with stones, however, is but the setting of a stage. Seeing eighth-graders help younger scouts step from stone to stone across a stream, and watching as kids and adults together explore the natural world and discover the pleasures of gardening at Veblen House — that’s when we know our preserves are a vital and dynamic part of the community. Stories like these, and ways to get involved, can be found at FOHW.org. STEPHEN K. HILTNER N. Harrison St. Continued on Next Page

Books Nina Khrushcheva At Labyrinth May 21

Nina Khrushcheva and Jeffrey Tayler will be at Labyrinth Books to discuss their new book, In Putin’s Footsteps: Searching for the Soul of an Empire across Russia’s 11 Time Zones on Tuesday, May 21 at 6 p.m. The event is part of the Library Live at Labyrinth series. M i ch ae l M c Fau l, N e w York Times bestselling author of From Cold War to Hot Peace, calls In Putin’s Footsteps a “highly engaging, very original exploration of modern-day Russia — a more complex society than most appreciate. Jumping

eloquently from sweeping historical narratives to colorful anecdotes from their travels, Khrushcheva and Tayler use the ‘prism of its geography’ to explore and explain contemporary Russia in all its dimensions. If you want to understand the ‘real Russia,’ read this book.” Nina Khrushcheva is the author of Imagining Nabokov and The Lost Khrushchev, and a professor of International Affairs at New School University, as well as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Her work has appeared in Newsweek, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times among others. A con-

Library Live at Labyrinth Presents Plum and Amos

Novelist Hillary Plum and journalist Deborah Amos will be discussing Plum’s new novel, Strawberry Fields, winner of the 2018 Fence Modern Prize in Prose, on Thursday, May 16 at 6 p.m. at Labyrinth Books. According to Sam Allingham, “In Strawberry Fields, Hilary Plum’s crew of journalists move like restless flies from one battlefield to another, demonstrating the struggle against (and implication with) the logic of late empire: how a contested truth splits into fragments, and cannot be made whole. But Plum knows how to assemble the shards so that we recognize in them the image of our own burning world, where the murder of five American veterans takes its rightful place in an international constellation of violence, recrimination, and environmental degradation. As Plum’s investigators burrow into text and memory, her scrupulous prose full of mingled lyricism and irony places her in the tradition of Danilo Kiš and Roberto Bolaño: writers who, despite the constant risk of despair, commit themselves to beating against the current of an ever-widening river of blood, fighting upstream to find the source.”

Hilary Plum’s other books are Watchfire s and t he novel They Dragged Them Through the Streets. She teaches creative writing at Cleveland State University and in the NEOMFA program and is associate director of the CSU Poetry Center. Ferris Professor in Jour nalism at Pr inceton Deborah Amos is an awardwinning international correspondent for NPR News. Her reporting on the Middle East and refugees in the United States is regularly featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, and All Things Considered. She has recently covered the Syrian and Iraqi refugee crises, the economy in the Middle East, and the Arab youth surge.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) Haunts “Game of Thrones” 500 Years Later

T

he massive crossbow that felled a dragon in the final season of Game of Thrones was meant as “an homage to Leonardo da Vinci,” the show’s weapon designer told IndieWire. The “outer shape” of the scorpion has the “exact same look” as Leonardo’s drawings. After watching the vengeful Mother of Dragons lay waste to King’s Landing on Mother’s Day, I knew it would be a challenge to launch a column about the man who died 500 years ago this month, May 2, 1519, without at least mentioning that apocalyptic spectacle, however absurdly out of proportion it is next to the pop song based on Leonardo’s most famous creation. Surely the fire and fury of HBO’s sensational series is a better fit with the 21st century than the legend that Nat King Cole’s manager strenuously advised him not to record “this off-beat thing about an old painting.” When “Mona Lisa” was released in May of 1950, it went to the top of the charts, was number one for eight straight weeks, and dominated the hit parade for the rest of the year. The plaintive hymn to “the lady with the mystic smile” was heard over radios and on jukeboxes in bars and diners around the country. While the banal fate of Leonardo’s masterpiece may conjure up the old “turning over in his grave” trope, evidence that he accepted art’s susceptibility to the lesser realities can be found in Walter Isaacson’s Leonardo da Vinci (Simon & Schuster 2017). The final words in Leonardo’s hand appear on “what may be the last page of his notebooks,” where after drawing four right triangles and fitting rectangles into each and making note of what he’s trying to accomplish, he abruptly “breaks off” to explain why he’s putting down his pen: “Perché la minestra si fredda.” Isaacson reimagines the event, “our last scene of him working”: Leonardo’s cook is in the kitchen, other members of the household are already at the table while “he is still stabbing away at geometry problems that have not yet yielded the world very much but have given him a profound appreciation of the patterns of nature. Now, however, the soup is getting cold.” Nothing Is Banal In his introduction, Isaacson implies that for a man interested in everything, nothing could be banal. Locating his biographical “starting point” in the notebooks also consulted by the designer of the scorpion in Game of Thrones, the biographer writes, “Over and over again, year after year, Leonardo lists things he must do and learn,” from observing “the goose’s foot” or “the tongue of the woodpecker” to “why-is-the-sky-blue questions” so “commonplace that we rarely pause to wonder about them.”

Isaacson coached himself to look at the world as if through Leonardo’s eyes, to see “how light that was reflected from one object subtly colored the shadows of another” and how “the glint of a lustrous spot on a shiny surface” moved when he tilted his head: “When I looked at a distant tree and a near one, I tried to visualize the lines of perspective. When I saw an eddy of water, I compared it to a ringlet of hair. When I couldn’t understand a math concept, I did the best I was able to visualize it. When I saw people at supper, I studied the relationship of their motions to their emotions.” He “Sang Divinely” Walter Pater’s maxim “All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music,” came to mind as I imagined Leonardo listening to “Mona Lisa” with the benefit of headphones. Say what you will about the relative triviality of a hit song bearing the name of a world famous work of art, the smooth, intimate, yet raptuously unearthly voice of the man who sang it is one of the glories of Pater’s “condition of music,” a phenomenon surely as worthy of da Vinci’s attention as a woodpecker’s tongue or a woman’s smile. After all, it was as a 30-year-old musical envoy that Leonardo came to the court of the Duke of Milan bearing the gift of a lyre from Lorenzo de’ Medici. Not only could he play “with rare distinction,” he “sang masterfully to his own accompaniment” on an instrument he’d constructed himself. His early biographer Vasari claims that Leonardo “sang divinely,” hyperbole on the level inspired centuries later by King Cole. Of a performance da Vinci gave at the Milan court in 1494, Vasari reports that he “surpassed” the other musicians, as well as being “the best improviser of verses.” Leonardo was also a master of stagecraft (“costumes, scenery, music, mechanisms, choreography, allegorical allusions, automatons, and gadgets”), producing pageants for a ruler who “thrived on plays and public entertainments.” Then there were the “literary amusements” he wrote to be read aloud or performed at court, including some 300 fables, facetious tales, prophecies, pranks, and riddles. The fables were “pithy moral tales involving animals or objects that take on a personality.” The notebooks also contain, shades

of Game of Thrones, fantasy novellas, “sometimes in the form of letters describing mysterious lands and adventures” involving “deluge and destruction.” Approaching Mona Lisa The Lady with an Ermine is one of the most expressive portraits you’ll see on your way to The Mona Lisa, which is the subject of the penultimate chapter in Isaacson’s handsomely illustrated biography. Cecilia Gallerani was 15 when the Duke of Milan commissioned Leonardo to paint a work that proved to be, in the biographer’s words, “so innovative, so emotionally charged and alive, that it helped to transform the art of portraiture.” Isaacson tells us if we look at Cecilia “a hundred times,” we’ll see “a hundred different emotions.” Although she’s being described in the light of Leonardo’s most famously suggestive and capricious work, Cecilia inhabits a more precisely defined element, set like a human medallion on a plush black background that brings out the detail in her gown and features. She’s distinctly in the moment, young, alive, and stunningly feminine, with no dusky, richly detailed landscape surrounding her, nothing to lead a renowned stylist like Pater (18391894) to wrap her in the rhetoric of “deep s e as , v ampires, and the secrets of the grave.” It’s no wonder that Pater’s visionary account of The Mona Lisa in his book The Renaissance (1873) continues to be quoted over the years. English tourists of the time came to see her in the Louvre with Pater’s text in their hands, not unlike American tourists flocking there more than half a century later with Nat King Cole’s ballad in their ears. What a tribute to Leonardo’s power as a storyteller in images that he managed to inspire such extremes of response, from the Tin Pan Alley love-song sentiment of “broken hearts,” the “Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile,” and “Are you warm, are you real” or just “a cold and lonely lovely work of art,” to Pater’s rhetorical extravagance, the most celebrated of the many failed attempts to describe Leonardo’s aesthetic soulmate: “She is older than the rocks among which she sits; like the vampire, she has been dead many times, and learned the secrets of the grave; and has been a diver in deep seas, and keeps their fallen day about her; and

trafficked for strange webs with Eastern merchants; and, as Leda, was the mother of Helen of Troy, and, as Saint Anne, the mother of Mary; and all this has been to her but as the sound of lyres and flutes, and lives only in the delicacy with which it has moulded the changing lineaments, and tinged the eyelids and the hands.” Gaze long enough at the reproduction of The Mona Lisa in Isaacson’s book and you can imagine that her sideways, almost-smiling look is in amused response to Pater’s dive into deep purple seas. Or you can tell yourself there’s nothing at all cold or lonely about her, that she’s as warm and real as only the genius who loved her and his own art could make her. Or you could think that she’s doing her best not to laugh in her mastered master’s face as she looks toward the kitchen where the voice of his cook is calling him back to the real world, “Perché la minestra si fredda!” Probably the best way to come to terms with La Gioconda is to read Isaacson’s thoughtful, informed, nicely documented 15-page account of the making of a work of art on a thin-grained plank cut from the center of a trunk of poplar on which the painter “applied a thick primer coat of lead white rather than a more typical mix of gesso, chalk, and white pigment,” knowing that the undercoat would be “better at reflecting back the light that made it through his fine layers of translucent glazes,” thereby enhancing “the impression of depth, luminosity, and volume.” “A Demon Imagination” Finally, if you’re a Game of Thrones fan who has just seen what the Mother of Dragons did to Cersei’s fleet of scorpions, you should read Isaacson’s account of da Vinci the military engineer, where after describing an “especially vivid” drawing of the “scythed chariot” with its “truly frightening whirling blades,” the biographer laments, “Here is our gentle and beloved Leonardo, who became a vegetarian because of his fondness for all creatures, wallowing in horrifying depictions of death....Within his dark cave was a demon imagination.” ut if you’ve followed the demon imaginations of showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss this far, you know all about “horrifying depictions of death” and will be looking for more of the same and possibly something much better next Sunday. —Stuart Mitchner

THEATER REVIEW

A Teacher Rekindles an Affair with a Restaurant Owner in “Skylight”; McCarter Theatre Delivers an Engaging Production of David Hare’s Drama

M

cCarter Theatre is concluding its season with Skylight. In this literate play by David Hare, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis unexpectedly is visited by her former lover, restaurant entrepreneur Tom Sergeant, and by Tom’s teenage son Edward. Tom and Kyra attempt to reignite their relationship, but find that differences in their ideologies and lifestyle choices may make them incompatible. This engaging production is directed by Emily Mann, McCarter’s artistic director. Skylight premiered in the West End in 1995, and opened on Broadway the following year. A 2014 West End revival transferred to Broadway, winning the 2015 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. At the end of a winter day, Kyra, who is in her early 30s, arrives home at her flat in London, and empties a shopping bag containing ingredients for a spaghetti dinner. She is surprised to see the 18-year-old Edward, an intense young man who is taking a year off between high school and college, standing in her doorway. Although the encounter is awkward, it is clear that Kyra and Edward know each other well. She invites him in and turns on a rather ineffective electric heater. Edward reveals that his mother, Alice, recently has died of cancer. He is frustrated by ways in which Tom’s grief has changed him; this has caused an argument between the two, which has led to Edward moving out and staying with a friend. Angrily, Edward asks why Kyra abandoned his family after spending several years with them; she curtly replies that he probably can guess the reason. Before he leaves he asks what Kyra misses most from her time with the Sergeants; she replies, “a good breakfast.” Later that same evening, Kyra receives another visitor: Tom, who is in his 50s. Kyra invites him to remove his coat; he refuses because of the cold temperature, and offers to pay for central heating to be installed in the flat. Unwilling to be indebted to him, Kyra declines. She also rejects his offer to buy her a “proper” meal, after he derides the home-cooked spaghetti dinner she is cooking. Tom continually contrasts his life with Kyra’s, telling her that she could have advanced in the world had she accepted shares in his hotel and restaurant business. Kyra, who is determined to continue helping her underprivileged students, is disinterested in changing any aspect of her life. Tom also comments on the way bankers are portrayed in the news, which Kyra refuses to watch, preferring to read novels. We learn about Kyra’s history with the Seargents, which started when she was a waitress in a restaurant owned by Tom and Alice. We discover that Tom and Kyra had an affair, which the latter abruptly ended after Alice discovered it because of Tom’s carelessness. In the course of the evening they attempt to resume the relationship, though the conflicts between them pose challenges to it. Greg Wood, who may be most familiar to

Princeton audiences as Scrooge in McCarter’s annual production of A Christmas Carol, plays Tom. He punctuates his smooth line delivery with sweeping gestures. Tom often gazes intently at Kyra, letting his eyes sear her like lasers. Wood almost steals the show by putting his entire body into his charismatic performance. However, Mahira Kakkar does not allow Wood to steal the show, because she keeps us eager to see how Kyra will respond to Tom’s behavior. Tom tends to put all of his cards on the table, whereas Kyra keeps hers close to her chest until strategic moments. Where Wood is demonstrative in his use of body language, Kakkar is reserved. Through facial expressions, most notably deliberate

blinks of her eyes, she lets us know that Kyra is taking in every word — and when she offers a response, it will be powerful. “The intertwining of character and history, the history of Kyra and Tom’s relationship, and then the moments of political disagreement and values disagreement — all of this somehow unfolds totally truthfully,” Mann tells Anna Morton, McCarter’s literary manager. “My job is: how am I going to make the emotion explode between the two actors?” Explosions of emotion characterize the dynamic between Tom and Kyra. Throughout the play, their relationship is by varying degrees amicable and contentious, but a clear arc shapes it. In each act, Mann lets the tension boil with gradual but increasing

intensity until one character suddenly lashes out at another. Mann’s staging highlights Tom’s restlessness and Kyra’s resolve. Throughout much of the play, particularly the first act, Tom paces back and forth, using the length of the stage. Kyra, rather like an anchor, tends to stay near the stove. It is not until the beginning of the second act, when she sits in a chair with Tom, that we see her occupy a different area of the flat for any noticeable length of time. Nevertheless, when Kyra does move about the flat, she does so purposefully, and often quickly. As Edward, Zane Pais makes clear that although the character is frustrated with his father, Edward has absorbed much of his personality and mannerisms. Pais matches Wood’s intent gaze and passionate line delivery. Kyra’s somewhat messy flat, with uneven Venetian blinds and dirty gray walls, has the appearance of being in a basement, although it is not. Nevertheless it looks cozy, especially when she turns on a lamp. Beowulf Boritt’s set is elaborate down to a working stove and sink; audience members will smell food cooking. Kyra makes real pasta sauce, and prepares hot water for pasta and tea. Like the tensions between Kyra and Tom, the water boils. This high level of detail illustrates the extent to which Kyra has settled into the space, and is committed to staying in it — and her job. Like Tom’s personality, his outfit is extravagant and layered. Costume designer Montana Levi Blanco has given him a velvet jacket that covers an impeccably tailored shirt and sweater. Kyra, who tends to wear loose-fitting shirts, is given a coat that is black — as is Edward’s leather jacket, which suggests a connection between the two younger characters. Although Hare’s crisp dialogue drives the play, Mann ensures that moments of silent action prevent it from becoming relentless. The mood for this thoughtful show is set by sound designer Pornchanok Kanchanabanca’s contemplative incidental music, which is heard at the beginning and interspersed in between scenes. The lighting by Jason Lyons is integral in creating some attractive and symbolic stage pictures, particularly at the end. There is an especially beautiful tableau in which we see light contrast with falling snow. It is unsurprising that Skylight has found new audiences in the past decade, as its themes are quite timely. Of particular relevance are the class conflicts; the concept of people from opposing backgrounds who perceive the other to be looking down on their choices; and the need to be aware “SKYLIGHT:” Performances are underway for “Skylight.” Directed by Emily Mann, the play of the world outside of one’s own lifestyle. runs through June 2 at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre. Kyra, a schoolteacher (Mahira Kakkar, are’s script is successful because it left) attempts to rekindle her relationship with restaurant entrepreneur Tom (Greg Wood), but explores numerous issues in a way differences in lifestyle and ideology have caused them to grow apart.

State Theatre New Jersey has announced its 2018-19 season. Cellist Matt Haimovitz and pianist Navah Perlman appear November 17; the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performs January 11; the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble is on stage March 1; the Siberian State Symphony Orchestra is February 15; and a special 75th birthday celebration event

ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS: Ruth Ochs is the conductor of the Westminster Community Orchestra when it pairs with the Westminster Community Chorus, led by Sinhaeng Lee, at a concert May 17. for violinist Itzhak Perlman is April 26. H a i m ov i t z d e b u te d i n 1984, at the age of 13, as soloist with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic. At 17 he made his first recording with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for D eut s che G ram mophon. Since then, he has gone on to perform across the globe. Navah Perlman, the daughter of Itzhak Perlman, started her piano studies at age 6 with Ronit Amir Lowenthal and later attended the Juilliard School where she worked with Herbert Stessin. She has studied chamber music with Robert Mann, Felix Galimir, and Dorothy DeLay. In 1986, Perlman made her professional debut at age 15 with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.

of the Russian Ministry of Culture, the orchestra was awarded the title of State Orchestra, and in 2009 was named an important element of Cultural Heritage. Now led by Artistic Director and Chief Conductor Vladimir Lande, the orchestra embarks on an eight-week U.S. tour with a special stop in New Brunswick. The West-Eastern Divan Ensemble, led by the orchestra’s concertmaster Michael Barenboim, makes its State Theatre debut featuring players from the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. The orchestra was founded by Daniel Barenboim and Edward Said in 1999 as a workshop for Israeli, Palestinian, and other Arab musicians. Barenboim and Said materialized a hope to replace ignorance with education, knowledge, and

understanding; to humanize the other; and to imagine a better future. Though this experiment in coexistence was intended as a one-time event, it quickly evolved into a legendary orchestra. Itzhak Perlman made his U.S. debut on The Ed Sullivan Show over 60 years ago. The 75th birthday program in his honor will feature a solo recital with Perlman and his longtime pianist Rohan De Silva, well as a new multimedia experience with Perlman sharing stories of his life and career — featuring video from his Grammy-nominated documentary and extensive archives. For tickets, more information, or group discounts, call State Theatre Guest Services at (732) 246-SHOW (7469), or visit STNJ.org. The theater is at 15 Livingston Avenue.

Poet Anne Marie Macari will read poetry from her book Red Deer, and will discuss prehistoric cave paintings and portable art from the Ice Age at Artsbridge’s Distinguished Artist Series event at the Prallsville Mills on Route 29 in Stockton on Thursday, May 16, at 7 p.m. Red Deer, Macari’s most recent book, came out in 2015 and was written from her experiences visiting the painted caves of France and Spain. The art in these caves — paintings, engravings, decorative tools, and sculptures — is from the time of the Ice Age, between 12,000-40,000 years ago. From her first v isit to Spain in 2009, Macari was drawn into the rich world of art and history, where our ancestors coexisted with Neanderthals, mammoths, and cave bears as they followed the greats herds, leaving art and artifacts in their wake. Macari chronicles leaving the surface both physically and metaphorically in these poems. Macari is the author of five poetry books. Her first book, Ivory Cradle, won the American Poetry Review’s first book prize in 2000 with poems of the dissolution of a marriage, and was followed by Gloryland (2005), which explores motherhood. She Heads into the Wilderness (2008) has at its core a sonnet cycle that fiercely engages spiritual and environmental concerns. Her new book, Heaven Beneath, forthcoming in 2020, examines the ravages of a parent’s illness alongside the ravaging of the planet.

“Many Inspired Steps” Exhibit at State Museum

The New Jersey State Museum will present “Many Inspired Steps,” an exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 21, 1969. T he ex h ibit ion, wh ich opens on May 25 in the Riverside Galler y on the Museum’s second floor, details the race to reach the moon between the United States and the former Soviet Union, New Jersey’s connection to the historic event, and remembers the men and women who participated in the space programs of both countries. The exhibition runs through November 10. In 1961 President Kennedy had announced his commitment to landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth by the end of the decade. That goal wouldn’t be achieved for another eight years, and many didn’t think it could be achieved within that timeframe. Visitors can explore the many steps in the space program that needed to be accomplished in order to get a man on the moon, will be able to watch footage of the original moon landing, and can see rock chips from the moon. While many people are aware that astronauts Buzz

“MOON RADIANCE”: This painting by Oscar Florianus Bluemner is featured in “The Color of the Moon,” on exhibit at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., June 1 through September 8. It showcases more than 60 works that illuminate the relationship between art and lunar science. throughout the U.S., coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission when American astronauts traveled across the skies to step onto the pitted surface of the moon in July 1969. “The Color of the Moon” traces the positions, places, and phases of the moon across more than 150 years of art, and explores the romanticism of our relationship with the moon. The display is presented in three broad groupings: “Popular Moon from Myth to Destination,” ranging from mythological scenes of the goddess Diana by Samuel F. B. Morse to the Apollo 11 blast-off, painted by Jamie Wyeth as part of NASA’s art program; “The Romantic Moon from the Hudson River School to 20th-Century Modernists,” featuring moonlit towers by Thomas Cole and a shimmering abstraction by Arthur Dove; and “The Moody Moon from Forest Glades to the Open Sea,” with paintings by Edward Bannister, Ralph Blakelock, and George Inness, revealing the deep preoccupation with spirituality and moonlight at the end of the 19th century. Co-curator Laura Vookles says, “The prevalence of the moon in American art speaks to its universal appeal; it is something that unites us across the globe. This attraction was explored by generations of artists who gazed upon the moon and later reaffirmed by astronauts looking back upon the fragile earth from space. Visitors will be awestruck by these views and by the beautiful paintings on display.” “The magnificent works of art in ‘The Color of the Moon’ underscore how the romantic lure of this celestial body held an exorable pull for artists over generations,” says

Kathleen V. Jameson, Michener Art Museum executive director. “We are delighted to celebrate the triumphant lunar landing 50thanniversary with this exquisite display.” Featured artists include Susie M. Barstow, Albert Bierstadt, Oscar Bluemner, Charles Burchfield, Frederic Edwin Church, Joseph Cornell, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Arthur Dove, Sanford Robinson Gifford, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, George Inness, Roy Lichtenstein, Norman Rockwell, Edward Steichen, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and Marguerite Thompson Zorach. Complementing the exhibition is a series of programs including a film series through a partnership with the County Theater; a lecture series; and a Star Party in collaboration with the Bucks-Mont Astronomical Association.

Rebel Wilson Headlines Disappointing Romantic Musical Comedy

N

atalie (Rebel Wilson) is a dynamic young professional trying to make her mark on Manhattan. But between a fledgling professional career and a dating life that isn’t faring any better, the Australian architect is close to bottoming out. It’s a miracle her optimistic spirit hasn’t been crushed, since she was raised by an emotionally-abusive mom (Jennifer Saunders) who said she’d never amount to anything. Nevertheless, she has made a few friends since moving to the States, including BFF/colleague Josh (Adam Devine) and hunky Blake (Liam Hemsorth), a billionaire who is one of her company’s clients. And her buddies include an assortment of colorful characters. Anybody familiar with Rebel Wilson’s work knows

that she’s committed to over-the-top fare as seen in her biggest hit, Picture Perfect. While this offering fails to measure up in terms of generating laughs per minute, it does at least recreate the ambiance of her typical farce. The movie is directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, who has cranked out a string of comedies such as Larceny, Naked but Funny, and Stevie TV. Not a picture this critic feels comfortable recommending to any demographic. Consider that a fair warning. Fair (H). Rated PG-13 for profanity, sexuality, and a brief drug reference. Running time: 88 minutes. Production Companies: Netflix/New Line Cinema. Distributor: Warner Brothers. —Kam Williams

George Helps PU Women’s Lax Storm Past Loyola, Tigers to Play at Boston College in NCAA Quarters

T

wo years ago, a torrential downpour hit Class of 1952 Stadium as the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team hosted Cornell in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Princeton star Elizabeth George was undeterred by the conditions, scoring four goals, including the last two of the game, as the Tigers prevailed 11-9. Last Sunday, a chilly downpour greeted the players as seventh-seeded Princeton hosted Loyola in a second round contest of this year’s NCAA tourney. History repeated itself as senior attacker George thrived on the damp day, scoring six goals to help the Tigers earn a 17-13 win over the Greyhounds. By virtue of the triumph, Princeton, now 16-3 and riding an 11-game winning streak, will play at second-seeded Boston College, 20-1, in the NCAA quarterfinals on May 18. In reflecting on the triumph, George acknowledged that she feels a comfort level when the rain drops start falling. “I think a little bit of rain adds intensity,” said a smiling George, a 5’9 native of Lutherville, Md. “It favors the attack a little bit; there is more proactive rather than reaction footwork.” With Princeton clinging to a 9-8 lead at halftime over a Loyola team bent on revenge after falling 14-10 in a regular season meeting between the foes on April 10, the Tigers knew they needed to be proactive over the last 30 minutes of the contest. “We came in the locker room and we said we know this is an intense game just like we expected,” said George. The big thing for us has been coming out in the second half. We haven’t started out second halves in the strongest way all season. So today coming out really strong in the second half was huge for us.” George led the charge in the second half, tallying two unanswered goals in the first 1:40 of the period, sparking an 8-1 run for the Tigers. “Getting some goals early and starting out on a run was really good for us to get rolling,” said George, the 2019 Ivy League Attacker of the Year, whose six goals gives her 61 this season and 141 in her career. “They never gave up, they played the whole second half too. The run was huge. We always say it is a game of runs so going on them through the whole game was really important.” George’s work on the draw was another important factor in the win. “We know that Loyola is a great draw team, we wanted to scrap it out and really battle on those balls,” said George, who was credited with seven draw controls on the day. “Especially on a rainy day, you don’t know where it is going to do. That is just a bunch of hustle and playing together as a draw unit. We have some great scrappers on the circle.. which is huge.” The Tigers also boast a bunch of scoring threats as sophomore Kyla Sears, junior

Tess D’Orsi, and senior Izzy Mangan each had three goals in the win, with senior Kathryn Hallett and freshman Lillian Stout adding one apiece. “Individuals are feeling their confidence in the postseason,” said George. “We are going to need all seven attackers out on the field to really be a huge threat. I think that showed really well today and we will just keep riding that wave.” The team’s senior group relished getting the NCAA win in their final home appearance. “It is emotional; we love ’52 and we love playing our home games,” said George. “Every game is a fun game no matter where we are playing it. As long as we have the Tigers on the field, we are going to have that great feeling and play our best.” Making NCAA quarters for the first time since 2017 is a great feeling for the Tigers. “We came into this season thinking that we have really good potential; we have so much talent,” said George. “We do have eyes on the last game of the NCAA tournament. We know we have a special group that can get us there. We are feeling good to be on track right now.” Princeton is feeling good about a rematch with BC, who defeated the Tigers 1610 in the second round of the NCAA tourney last spring. “In comparison to last year, we are excited to have a week to prep for them rather than a tough double overtime game (a 12-11 win over Syracuse) that we came off last year,” said George. “We are excited to get out for practice this week and get our mindset on BC and prep well for them. I am excited for a rematch.” Princeton head coach Chris Sailer liked the winning mindset displayed George against Loyola. “Georgie just made some big plays; she said after the game, I just don’t want my season to end, that goes for all of our seniors,” said Sailer. “Loyola has one of the best draw players, and she got moved off the draw in this game. That really speaks to Georgie and the kids we had on the circle. We really battled.” Sailer sensed that Loyola was going to give Princeton a battle in the NCAA rematch between the teams. “We know it is always a new game; they wanted to make sure it was a different start than they had in the last game,” said Sailer of the Greyhounds, who trailed Princeton 10-3 at halftime in the regular season meeting between the teams. “They came out really hard. It was a bit of wakeup call for us in the first three or four minutes of that game.We had to adjust and start moving harder defensively.” Princeton also needed to be sharper offensively. “We wanted to execute a little bit better and be smarter with some of our possessions,” said Sailer. “We were rushing some things and taking dodges into two or three people. We talked about trying to control the pace a little bit more offen-

sively and we did that well.” The team’s offensive balance helped the Tigers take control of the contest. “It was different people scoring,” said Sailer. “Once they face-guarded Georgie and took her out, we made the decision to play more in the 6-on-6 and open up a little more space. The kids responded well; we were able to find some good looks.” The defense found its form, holding the Greyhounds to one goal in the first 21:47 of the second half. “I thought the defense really played well; Loyola is an incredible offensive team, they have so many weapons,” said Sailer. “Livy Rosenzweig and Hannah Powers are just really tough for them, their numbers are pretty crazy. I thought we did a really nice job as a unit defensively. For the most part, we were on their cutters and had good one-on-one angles. Sam [Fish] had a nice second half in goal, she made some big saves.” In order to overcome BC, which has advanced to the last two NCAA championship games, Princeton has to come up big at both ends of the field. “They are a powerhouse, they have two Tewaaraton Award finalists (Sam Apuzzo and Dempsey Arsenault),” said Sailer. “They are pretty tough offensively. We are going to have to have a great day on defense and compete on the draw. Sam is going to have to have a good day in goal. We are going to have to be able to find ways to score against their defense at the other end. It is one of those games where you have got to play a great game all over the field. If we do that, we are confident in our chances that we can compete and win.” With Princeton having posted 11 straight victories, Sailer believes her team is bringing confidence into the matchup. “We are playing great lacrosse,” said Sailer. “The last two weekends have been pretty tough in terms of conditions. You have to be gritty to gut it out. Our kids have done just that.” Sailer credits her seniors with providing the grit that has helped the Tigers pull out a number of close wins this spring. “It is tough to think about not having them on the field,” said Sailer. “We have them now and we are going to ride that wave as long as we can. They lead at every part of the field — defense, offense, draw, and midfield. I am just really happy for them, they are one of the last eight teams and hopefully we can keep it going for a littler longer.” George, for her part, is happy to keep playing for another weekend. “I think we are peaking at the right time and that is what we need,” said George. “Everyone is channeling their confidence at the right time and seeing what we can really do and taking advantage of that. I am very confident that if we all show up and play our best game. It is going to be an amazing match against BC.” —Bill Alden

DRAWING ON HER EXPERIENCE: Princeton University women’s lacrosse player Elizabeth George, right, controls the draw as Princeton defeated visiting Wagner 19-7 last Friday in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Two days later, senior star attacker George scored six goals to help the seventh-seeded Tigers defeat Loyola 17-13 in a second round contest. Princeton, now 16-3, will play at second-seeded Boston College, 20-1, in the NCAA quarterfinals on May 18. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

MIGHTY MIKE: Princeton University men’s lacrosse player Michael Sowers heads to goal in a 2018 game. Last week, junior standout Sowers was named as one of the five men’s finalists for the Tewaaraton Award, given to the top male and female players in college lacrosse. Sowers is joined on the men’s side by Penn State’s Grant Ament, Maryland’s Jared Bernhardt, Yale’s TD Ierlan, and Loyola’s Pat Spencer. Sowers broke the Princeton records for points in a season (90) and career (255) this spring. It was his own season record that he broke, after his 83 points a year ago, which broke his record of 82 from his freshman year. He is already 20th in NCAA history in career assists and is on pace to finish in the top 10 in Division I history in career points. Sowers is Princeton’s fourth finalist, after Trevor Tierney, Ryan Boyle, and Tom Schreiber (twice). The 2019 Tewaaraton winners will be announced on May 30 in Washington, D.C.

Despite hav ing posted two wins over Allentown in regular season action, the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team knew it had to tighten things up when they foes met for round three in the Mercer County Tournament semifinals last week. “I think the energy going into the game was incredible; we knew playing a team three times is really tough,” said Doran, noting that both of the PHS wins had been by one goal, 12-11 on April 30 and 16-15 on April 11.

“Com mu n icat ion was definitely a key part of that. We were telling each other where we are on the field at all time. We really focused on the crease game because we were getting beat a lot there in the previous games.” Displaying that focus, the Tigers stifled the Redbirds, building a 4-2 lead at halftime on the way to a convincing 14-8 triumph in the May 7 contest. In Doran’s view, the defensive effort in the victory exemplified the unit’s prog-

ress. “We have improved a lot,” asserted Doran. “Our chemistry is really fantastic because we have playing with each other for three or four years.” PH S h e ad coach Me g Reilly credited Doran with setting an aggressive tone. “Lila is fearless; she goes out hard on her attacker every single time,” said Reilly. “She is not afraid to do that because she trusts her teammates behind her and knows they are going to have her back. Most of the time, she gets the caused turnovers.” Reilly was looking for the Tigers to come out hard and take control against highpowered Allentown. “We knew we had to get a big lead on them; otherwise they would take it right back because Allentown is so capable of grabbing the momentum and taking it away from you,” said Reilly. “All we had to do was to get a big enough gap; that is what our game plan was.” Doran and her teammates were thrilled to grab a spot in the MCT final, as the program advanced that far for the first time since 2014. “We were pretty confident going in just because we wanted it so badly,” said Doran. “It feels super awesome to be in the finals. I don’t know how many years it has been since we have been in the final but not since I have been here.” While PHS ended up falling 13-7 to top-seeded and three-time champion Lawrenceville in the MCT final on Thursday, dealing with that challenge should help the Tigers as they head into the state tournament. “I have a lot of friends on the Lawrenceville team so there is a lot of competitiveness going into that game,” said Doran. “They are talented. We just have to body them up on defense and just really be playing clean defense. This is what we have been looking for all season.” —Bill Alden

Senior Star Lopez-Ona Sparks Furious Rally But PHS Girls’ Lacrosse Falls in MCT Final Even though the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team trailed two-time defending champion Lawrenceville 7-2 heading into the second half of the Mercer County Tournament final last Thursday, Mariana Lopez-Ona and her teammates weren’t about to give up. “We knew that we could play better than we were putting it out there,” said Tiger senior standout Lopez-Ona. “We started out really individualistically. We knew to get together and play together and we showed what we could be in that second half.” Wit h L opez- Ona tallying two goals, PHS reeled off four unanswered goals in the first six minutes of the second half to narrow the gap to 7-6 in the game played at WW/P-North. After Lawrenceville responded with a 3-0 run, PHS got a goal from freshman Kate Becker to make it 10-7 with 9:31 left in regulation. The Tigers, though, never got closer that than that as the Big Red pulled way to a 13-7 win and their third straight MCT crown. “We fought; they are obviously a very good team,” said Lopez-Ona, who ended up with three goals and an assist in the defeat which moved PHS to 15-2. “We could have stepped up our game but they played hard.” PH S h e ad coach Me g Reilly knew that her squad faced a hard challenge in the battle-tested Big Red. “They have experience and poise,” said Reilly after the Tigers advanced to the final. “They are used to this kind of competition. They have a lot of veteran players, they have a lot of experience being in the tournament and being in the final as we don’t recently. I think that is an advantage for us because we are the underdog, we have nothing to lose.” Lopez-Ona, for her part, believes that the Tigers can learn from the loss as they look ahead to the upcoming state tournament. “It definitely is a lesson; it is learning from these mistakes and moving on forward to the bigger game,” said Lopez-Ona, reflecting on the program’s first appearance in the MCT title game since 2014. “We need to be playing from whistle to whistle and not giving up because we showed that we can be there. Our best games are when we all play together and when we use every single person on the field. When we had that run, everyone was contributing and everyone was working hard. We just need to make sure that everyone is up on that level.” Over the last four years, Lopez-Ona has made a huge contribution to the PHS program, recently scoring the 300th goal of her high school career. “Obviously that was very exciting,” said Lopez-Ona, who now has 88 goals this spring and is headed to Michigan next year where she will be playing for its women’s lacrosse program. “This has been my favorite season with a team. It is such a good group of girls. It is more about moving our game together.” Reilly, for her part, sees that togetherness as a strength of the Tigers. “This team truly

loves each other,” said Reilly. “We still have the cohesive unit that powers us through it very time. They truly believe in each other, they trust each other. That is all that matters, that is the biggest thing for us.” Lopez-Ona and her teammates will be will be looking to utilize camaraderie and intensity as they compete in the NJSIAA Central Group 4 sectional tournament where

they are seeded first and slated to host a quarterfinal contest on May 17. “Everyone needs to leave it our on the field, all 11 players need to be pushing themselves to the absolute limit,” said Lopez-Ona, who helped PHS win the sectional crown last season. “Coming into it, we know we can compete and we know we can do that. It is making sure that we keep our level up and don’t underestimate anyone.” —Bill Alden

Two days later in the final, Lopez-Ona had three goals and an assist but it wasn’t enough as the Tigers fell 13-7 to top-seeded and three-time county champion Lawrenceville.

Despite Falling Short of Team Titles at Counties, PHS Track Produces Some Stellar Performances Although neither the Pr inceton High girls’ or boys’ track squads placed first in the team standings at the Mercer County Championships last Saturday, PHS produced some of the finest performances of the meet. T h e u n h era lde d T iger girls’ team placed a strong second to powerful WW/PNorth in the meet held at Steinert High, paced by junior Colleen Linko, the winner of the 200 and 400-meter races, and senior Siena Moran, who prevailed in both the 800 and 1,600. The pair also helped the 4x400 relay to victory. PHS totaled 101 points in the competition with WW/ P-North piling up 120 in winning the title. “We came out just on fire from the first race,” said Ben Samara, the associate head coach of the PHS boys’ and girls’ teams. “We couldn’t be prouder of them. Colleen Linko and Siena Moran were the two best runners on the track.” Linko has not only reached new heights on the track, she is emerging as a leader for the team. “Colleen has broken out as a superstar this year, she really took it to another level at counties,” said Samara. “It not just her times, you can see her influence, even on the way Kendall Williamson is competing and how she comes out as a freshman and gets third in the 100. The way that the girls are working together is something special.” Moran, for her part, enjoyed a special day, utilizing her savvy. “What was impressive about Siena at counties was her composure and her race strategy that

has only done a few times. Knowing that Nottingham had the really good javelin guys, he said he would do anything to help this team win points. He went in and got a third place with a huge throw. That was something really important to him and to the team.” Senior distance stars Jackson McCarthy and Tucker Zullo made an important contribution as well. McCarthy took third in the 800 and fifth in the 1,600 while Zullo placed third in the 3,200 and fourth in the 1,600. “Jackson and Tucker have been real steady all season,” said Samara. “They continued to make steady progress this weekend and I think they are getting ready for a really big breakthrough at the right time.” Two other seniors, Jack Whetstone and Kevin Linko, came through as well. “Jack kicked off our county meet on a high note; he took the baton in fourth place going into the anchor leg in the 4x800, an event which is new to him this spring,” said Samara. “He kicked us into second, we put him in that spot be-

third attempt at 14’0 and made it over with a huge clearance,” added Samara. “He would have actually gotten second if he missed. He then went on to clear a height higher (14’6). He faced some adversity and overcame t hat. He con tinues to step up, which is nice. The meets get bigger, his heights get bigger.” Wildberg, for his part, had to play a waiting game before knowing that he won the long jump. “Ni ls had s om e ot her events to run,” said Samara. “He took his jumps and he was about a foot ahead, but he had to take all three of his jumps in the final before anybody else did so then we had to wait to see what happened. He jumped phenomenally as he always does and was able to take it home so we are real proud of him.” In addition, Brennan had to work through some adversity in taking the discus title. “Paul had a misstep in the shot put, but we were really proud of him to come back with the second best discus throw he has ever had (183’10),” said Samara. “He also stepped up in the javelin in an event he

cause we knew he could do that and he delivered. He showed a lot of grit coming back to run the 400 and the 4x400. Kevin has really been working hard to get himself back into form. He ended up with a third place in the pole vault and actually worked his way within one spot of scoring in the 400 hurdles. He finished seventh, taking almost five seconds off his 400 hurdle time.” Looking ahead to the sectional meet, Samara views it as a stepping stone for the boys’ team. “We were disappointed to not have a few things go our way with the county meet,” said Samara. “This is probably our best chance to win something as a team. We are really going to focus on getting our key players advancing to groups and Meet of Champs. The way that our team is set up, we are so top heavy that we actually have a better chance to win the group meet than we do the section. Once we can get our key players to groups, we are going to let the chips fall and see where we stand.” —Bill Alden

Jack Erbeck wasn’t going to let lack of rest keep him from starring on the mound for the Hun School baseball team as it hosted Trenton Catholic Academy in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals last Wednesday. “Coming off a four-day rest is very tough,” said senior standout Erbeck, who had pitched a shutout in Hun’s 2-0 win over Seton Hall on May 3. “I battled; I kept my pitches down and I was throwing first pitch strikes.” Showing toughness, righty Erbeck held eighth-seeded TCA hitless through five innings, striking out eight, walking three and leaving with top-seeded Hun leading 4-1. “I had to trust my stuff and work off my curve ball as well and my off speed pitches,” said Erbeck, who went went 1-for-2 at the plate with an RBI to help his cause. “I had to trust my defense behind me and I got the job done.”

Erbeck’s younger brother, sophomore Ricky, came on in relief and finished the job on the mound gem with two hitless innings as Hun won 4-1. “Ricky closed the door,” said Erbeck. “He is a great pitcher, he has a ton of potential. He throws the ball hard, we are still working on his secondary pitches. He is going to be big for us coming down the stretch. I put a lot of pressure on him sometimes because I expect so much of him.” As a team co-captain, Erbeck enjoys working with the squad’s younger players. “It has been cool, I have been mentoring the freshmen and sophomores,” said Erbeck, who is headed to Fairfield University where he will be playing for its baseball program. “I think some of the kids do look up to me; it is really special.” Hun head coach Tom Monfiletto credited Erbeck with producing a special effort in

the win over TCA. “He usually has a full week of rest; he sucked it up and he battled through for this teammates,” said Monfiletto “He was fantastic; this was a really, really gutsy performance. I am proud of him. He threw as well as he has been throwing the entire year, which is brilliantly.” The younger Erbeck was also brilliant in his own right as he completed the no-hitter, striking out two and giving up a walk. “Ricky has been great in that role,” said Monfiletto. “In a couple of big games he came in and shut the door and then did it today. This was huge.” W hile the Hun offense didn’t come up huge in the win, it got the job done as jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first and had six hits on the day with Anthony Bencardino also picking up RBI. “We squared a couple of balls up that were right at people,” said Monfiletto. “We did have to manufacture some runs today.” T he Raiders, however, failed to manufacture runs in the MCT semis as they fell 4-0 to fourth-seeded and defending champion Hopewell Valley. “Hopewell is an unbelievable program, there is a reason they are always deep in the tournament every single year,” said Monfiletto, looking forward to the matchup. “It is a great opportunity to play them for sure.” Hun, now 19-2, has another opportunity to go for a title as it will be playing in the state Prep A tournament this week where it is seeded first and will host fourthseeded Lawrenceville in an opening round contest on May 15. Monfiletto believes his players will keep their focus as the program goes for a fourth straight Prep A title. “ T h e y d o n’t l i s te n to noise,” said Monfiletto. “I think they still have stuff to prove.” No matter what happens in the Prep A tourney, Erbeck has enjoyed a memorable senior year with this teammates. “It is the group of guys and the bonds we have out of school,” said Erbeck, in reflecting on what makes the Raider squad special. “We have been working hard all year long, weight training in the fall and then winter.” —Bill Alden

Led by Zucatti’s Hitting, Fielding Heroics, Hun Softball Primed for Big Stretch Drive Abby Zucatti’s heroics with her bat and glove helped spark the Hun School softball team as it waged a valiant fight against powerhouse Blair Academy last Friday. With Hun trailing the Buccaneers 2-0 in the bottom of the first inning, junior center fielder Zucatti lashed a double to the fence to drive in Gigi Venizelos, who led off the inning with a single. “I have been working really hard with hitting; I have been changing my swing a little bit just to make sure I get hard contact so I had confidence,” said Zucatti, noting that she had shortened her swing. “It felt good. I knew that with Gigi getting on, if I get a powerful hit, it will get our momentum going.” The Raiders seized momentum, tying the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the second on a run scoring triple by Venizelos. After Blair regained the lead with a run in the top of the third, Hun knotted the game at 3-3 in the bottom of the fourth on a double by Jackie Drozd. Zucatti helped keep the game tied at 3-3 with some fielding gems, making a leaping catch in the top of the fifth to start a double play and then throwing out a Blair runner at home in the sixth. “I have been able to see the balls really well off the bat lately and I just shot right there to the ball,” said Zucatti. “I knew that girl was going home in the next inning.” As one of Hun’s four team captains, Zucatti feels a responsibility to run the show in the outfield. “I like being in charge of the outfield since I am a captain,” added Zucatti. “It has been good; I have felt I have been a leader for this team for a while. I feel it is a good influence on everyone.” Zucatti’s heroics in the outfield, though, couldn’t keep Blair from prevailing as it produced back-to-back homers in the top of the seventh to pull out a 5-3 victory. But with Hun having lost 6-0 at Blair on April 13, Zucatti saw the effort last Friday as a good step forward with the state Prep A tournament on the horizon. Hun is seeded third in the tourney and slated to play at secondseeded Lawrenceville in a semifinal contest on May 14 with victor advancing to the title game on May 16, likely at top-seeded Blair. “Knowing that they beat Lawrenceville 9-0 and we only lost here 5-3, it really looks hopeful,” said Zucatti, who picked up three walks and scored a run as the Raiders defeated Hopewell Valley 5-1 last Saturday and improved to 9-5. “I really, really think we can do it.” Hun head coach Kathy Quirk liked the resilience her team displayed in doing battle with the Buccaneers. “We came back, they went ahead, we came back,” said Quirk. “I am disappointed that we lost but proud of what we did.” Quirk was proud of the aggressive hitting she got from Venizelos, Zucatti, and Drozd against Blair. “Gigi and Abby are two of my best players,” said Quirk. “Jackie had two hits; she has been starting to hit. We moved

her down to the bottom of the order to generate things.” Zucatti’s play on defense was one of the best things about Hun’s effort. “Abby’s defense is great, she played a phenomenal game today with the catches and the throw to home,” said Quirk. “We did a nice job on defense.” L ook ing a head to t he Prep A tournament, Quirk believes her squad can get the job done.

“The key is going to be our bats,” said Quirk. “We need Erin [Harrigan] to throw the ball hard and keep them off balance.” Zucatti, for her part, is confident that the Raiders can keep playing well. “I think just a few tweaks here or there; going into states on Tuesday, I really think we have it,” said Zucatti. “We work hard and we need to start our mentality that we had in the middle of this game and have that right in the beginning.” —Bill Alden

Putting It All Together with Youth, Balance, Stuart Track Rolls to 2nd Straight Prep B Title Things didn’t start well for the Stuart Country Day School track team as it competed in the state Prep B championship meet last week. Stuart junior star Alex Ottomanelli false-started in the 400 meter hurdles, the first event of the meet, to get disqualified and cost the team some valuable points. Instead of sulking at that misfortune, the Tartans used it to fuel them to greater heights at the meet, which was held on May 6 at Newark Academy. “Everybody rallied around the fact that we are going to have to step up,” said Stuart head coach Len Klepack. “It was a rallying point for everyone to do a little bit more.” Ottomanelli stepped up, taking first in both the 100 meter hurdles and the 800 run. “She had a personal record

in the 100 hurdles (16.26) and went just fast enough to win the 800,” said Klepack. “She stayed with the girl from Villa Walsh and out kicked her at the end. Sometimes when things go wrong, you find ways and solutions to correct it and you don’t get down on yourself and that is what she did.” Those first place finishes helped the Tartans roll to their second straight Prep B outdoor crown as they piled up 150 points with runnerup Villa Walsh well behind with 98. Klepack sensed that this young squad, which includes only one senior in Priscilla Francois, was ready for a break-out performance. “They are coming along, so it has been a learning and teaching situation,” said Klepack, whose team ended up scoring (getting at least

one top-six finish) in 15 of 17 events. “At certain times, you could see that they were beginning to click, understanding how to better prepare and to see what the future might hold if they keep working hard. They put it together at the prep meet.” Junior Emerlee Simons put it together, winning the 400 and taking fourth in both the 100 and 400. “Emerlee broke the school record in the 400 (1:00.37) and placed in the 100 and 200,” said Klepack. “She had been nursing an injury and had been resting for nine days. We tried to explain to her that the energy will still be there.” The pair of junior Jasmine Hansford and sophomore Nia Melvin provided some energy with their versatility. Hansford placed second

ENCORE PERFORMANCE: Members of the Stuart Country Day School track team celebrate after they won the state Prep B outdoor track championship meet at Newark Academy earlier this month.

Melvin won the javelin and was on the 4x100 relay. “Jasmine has been on track since her freshman year and Nia came out this year,” said Klepack. “Jasmine scored in both jumps and both relays;

of events, taking third in the 400 hurdles, fifth in the 100 hurdles, second in the shot put, and running the anchor for the 4x400 relay. In the high jump, freshman Audrey Blandford placed second with sophomore Misha Meyer taking third. The team’s success in the jumps proved critical to the title run. “Our youngsters, even though they weren’t ranked to win in the triple, long, or high jump, took second or third in events we weren’t supposed to like in the long jump,” said Klepack. “We took first, second, and fourth in the triple jump. Both events definitely made a difference. The meet remained close until they put up the results from the long, triple, and high jump. That is where we pulled away.” Freshman Noelia Manion pulled off an historic leap for the Tartans, taking fourth in the pole vault. “We have never had a pole vaulter and now we have a pole vaulter,” said Klepack. “She cleared the opening height (6’4) and she scores.” The Stuart throwers scored well with Francois taking second in the shot put and junior Taj’hana Tyson coming in sixth. Sophomore Laila Fair placed fourth in the discus, with Melvin coming up with the win in the javelin. “All of our throwers are coming back except Priscilla,” noted Klepack. “If we can keep them together and if they work hard to improve, it could be a real outstanding group.” The outstanding performance by the Tartans exceeded Klepack’s expectations.“I didn’t think that we would win by that many points,” said Klepack, whose program has also won two straight Prep B indoor track titles. “It was definitely a pleasant surprise. It turned out to be an exciting day and they deserve it. They are still learning, they are beginning to come together. You see where hard work and supporting each other can make a difference. That has been our philosophy — don’t say you can’t, you don’t know what you are capable of until you try.” In Klepack’s view, the program is capable of doing some big things going forward. “The team has a real bright future, there was balance and youth,” said Klepack. “They were able to put it together and that is what we feel good about. Stuart offers so much and these girls are true student-athletes.” —Bill Alden

Non-Surgical Care of Musculoskeletal Pain Is Princeton Spine & Joint Center’s Specialty

“O

h, my aching back!” As well as knees, shoulders, necks, hip, hands, and feet — and all those other parts that can hurt. Whether the result of injuries, over-exertion on the tennis or basketball court, soccer field, ski trails, or chronic conditions, pain, especially constant pain, can be disruptive to one’s daily life. In worst cases, it is all-consuming, interfering with attention to work, family, and overall lifestyle.

IT’S NEW To Us

Alleviating musculoskeletal pain through non-surgical treatment is the specialty of Princeton Spine & Joint Center. Established in 2008 by Dr. Grant Cooper and his wife and colleague, Dr. Ana Bracilovic, the Center now has two offices, located at 601 Ewing Street and 256 Bunn Drive. A summa cum laude graduate of Princeton University, Dr. Cooper attended UMDNJRobert Wood Johnson Medical School, and completed his residency in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, The University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell in New York. He completed a fellowship in spine and musculoskeletal rehabilitation medicine at the Spine Institute at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. Honors Graduate “From the time I was in college, I wanted to be a doctor,” says Dr. Cooper, who is also a published author. “I liked interacting with people and to have the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. And it’s both the art of medicine and the science of medicine. Medicine allows me to keep a foot in academia, but also to be involved with caring for people.” A dual degree honors graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Bracilovic is a board-certified physician, specializing in the nonoperative care of spine, joint, muscle, and nerve pain. After medical school at UM-DNJRobert Wood Johnson, she completed her specialty train-

ing at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, The University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell. In addition to serving as codirector of Princeton Spine & Joint Center, she is director of Princeton Dance Medicine. Dr. Bracilovic is a published author of medical texts, an active member of the International Association of Dance Medicine, a reviewer and contributor to medical journals, and the winner of numerous awards for research in dance medicine. “Everyone is different,” she points out, “and the Center offers very individualized care. For some, dancing again, or getting back to the tennis court is the goal. Others have different hopes and ambitions. The most important thing for us is to help people get back to their active lives as fully as possible.” Non-Surgical Treatment Specializing in the non-surgical care of spine, joint, muscle, and nerve pain, the Center treats people of all ages, including children as young as 8, who have a variety of musculoskeletal problems. In addition, the Center has specific programs in sports medicine, dance medicine, and regenerative medicine, with physicians specializing in each of these areas. Using the most technologically-advanced methods and comprehensive examination, the seven doctors at Princeton Spine & Joint Center diagnose the causes of their patients’ pain, and then prescribe a treatment program. They report that over the past decade, increasing numbers of people have become aware of the effectiveness of non-surgical intervention. “As non-surgical orthopedic rehabilitation specialists, we emphasize a wide host of treatments, from nutrition and exercise to physical therapy, and when necessary, targeted image-guided injections,” explains Dr. Cooper. “There are many things people can do to help minimize the impact of wear and tear on their bodies, and remain pain-free, healthy, and active. For a whole host of reasons, joints aren’t just capable of movement, they require movement in order to

stay healthy. One of the most important roles we play is eliminating pain as a barrier to activity and exercise.” “Our goal is to work with you to treat your pain, safely maximize your function, and improve your quality of life,” points out Dr. Bracilovic. “There are a myriad of nonsurgical treatments available.” “An exciting new treatment is regenerative medicine, says Dr. Zachary Perlman, codirector of the Regenerative Medicine Program. “This is an evolving sub-specialty that involves multiple specific treatments such as platelet-rich COMPASSIONATE CARE: “Our focus is non-surgical orthopedics. and interventional pain manplasma (PRP) image guided injections. It helps stimulate agement. The first step is the treatment of any problem is an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis. This begins with a full history of the problem, and extends to physical examination the body to heal itself.” and sometimes imaging and other studies. An important point is that pain is not an inevitable Regenerative medicine is bi-product of a chronic condition, injury, or aging.” Grant Cooper, MD, fourth from left, coespecially helpful in restoring director of Princeton Spine & Joint Center, is shown with fellow physicians, from left, Marco function to hips, knees, and Funiciello, DO; Jason Kirkbride, MD; Zinovy Meyler, DO; Ana Bracilovic, MD; Zachary Perlman, tendons, especially those afDO; and Scott Curtis, DO.

Antoinette “Toni” Caruso McGuire Antoinette “Toni” Caruso McGuire, 97, passed away peacefully at home in Ft. Collins, CO, on Tuesday, April 23, 2019. Toni was born in Princeton, NJ, in 1921 to Jennie K. and Daniel M. Caruso. Her father emigrated from Italy and became a fine custom tailor in Princeton and was one of the first tenants on Palmer Square. Her mother continued the business after he died in 1951 until her retirement in 1982, at age 91. Not surprisingly, Toni was always smartly dressed. To ge t her, her parent s were leaders in the ItalianA mer ican com mu nit y in Princeton and at St. Paul’s Church. She learned from them the values of faith, family, hard work, civic responsibility, and the importance of a good education. Toni attended St. Paul’s S chool, g raduated f rom Princeton High School in 1939, and was the first in her family to earn a college degree, graduating from the New Jersey College for Women (Douglass College), Class of 1943. She was selected for a National Science Foundation graduate summer program at Kent State University in 1966. She later earned a Master’s Degree in Education/Counseling from Trenton State College. She was a member of Phi Delta Kappa, a professional association for educators. Toni worked for the Gallup Poll conducting interviews. She was the director of one of the first community based correctional programs for young girls in the late 1960s. As a counselor at Mercer County Community College she was instrumental in shaping and guiding young college students’ lives, many of whom were the first in their family to attend college. She later worked as a school social worker in Dunellen, Dutch Neck, and Bordentown, NJ, and in Neshaminy, PA. Toni lived in Pennington, NJ, for 45 years where she and her husband Gene raised their family. She was an active member of Saint James Church where she was a member of the Guild, helped establish a parish library, served on the scholarship committee, and chaired and/or worked on countless church dinners and events. Living across the street from the Little Church, their home was often a social gathering place after Sunday Mass. Toni volunteered at the local schools, served on the PTA, and was active in the efforts to regionalize the Hopewell Valley School System. When her son went to join Cub Scouts and there was no more room, she became a Den Mother, providing an opportunity for a half dozen more boys to join Cub Scouts. She was an active supporter and volunteer throughout her sons’ scout experiences and saw them both achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.

Norman Glickman Norman Glickman, a retired University Professor at Rutgers University’s Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, passed away on Wednesday, May 8. He was 76. Professor Glickman was known for connecting theory and practice as a way to improve the lives of urban residents. According to his colleagues, his contributions to the field of urban planning benefited everyone he knew and millions he never knew. His legacy is that of an institution builder, an intellectual leader, mentor, friend, and mensch. Dur ing his tenure at Rutgers University (19892015), he conducted res e a r ch a n d te ach i n g i n urban planning and public policy and studied the work of nonprofit organizations. Stuart Shapiro, Associate Dean of Faculty at the Bloustein School said, “Norm was a treasured part of the Bloustein community. He was a great teacher, a dedicated mentor to junior faculty, and a good friend to many of us.” From 1989 to 2000, Dr. Glickman directed the Rutgers University Center for Urba n Pol ic y Re s e arch, which later became par t of the Edward J. Blous tein S chool of Planning and Public Policy in 1992. During that time, he and CUPR won awards for research and service from the United Nations, the Fannie Mae Foundation, the APA, and other organizations. In 2003, Dr. Glickman was part of a team at Rutgers that received a five-year, $10-million grant from the National Science Foundation to establish a Center for Learning and Teaching. The thrust of the CLT was “Mathematics and America’s Cities” and Profes -

sor Glickman’s role was to research and teach about t he connect ion bet ween teaching math in inner-city schools to institutions and families in poor neighborhoods. An economist by training, Glickman served as the co-director for the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service (R/ECON) at the Bloustein School from 1991-2003, which continues to provide forecasting and other economic analyses for businesses and governments. Prior to coming to Rutgers, Dr. Glickman was the Mike Hogg Professor of Urban Policy and Professor of Economics at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, University of Texas at Austin (1983-1989), where he taught courses in political economy, urban and regional economics, and urban poverty. He was named a professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania in 1970, where he founded and directed the Urba n S t u d ie s P ro g r a m (1970-74). At Penn he was awarded the Lindback Prize for Distinguished Teaching from the University of Pen ns ylva n ia a nd hold s HUD’s Certificate of Special Achievement. Norm put in place the guiding principles that shaped Urban Studies at Penn in the late 1960s/early 1970s when, as an assistant professor in City Planning, he took on a group of idealistic and committed undergraduates interested in studying cities. The stars were aligned because the new Penn Preside nt, Mar t i n Me yer s on, was a city planner, which allowed Norm to navigate the institutional waters and make the major official. The essence of the program — its commitment to connecting theory and practice — was there at the beginning. Dr. Glickman became a legend early in his career t han ks to his renow ned PhD work. He created the first regional econometric model out of the work of his advisor, Nobel Prize winner Lawrence Klein. While Klein is known for having produced the first national macroeconom ic fore casting models, Nor man G l i c k m a n’s d i s s e r t at i o n presents the first of all regional (subnational) macroeconomic systems forecasting and simulation models. “Norm’s academic record speaks for itself. At the University of Pennsylvania, Texas, and at Rutgers, he was a major player in developing and analyzing social and economic policies for cities and metropolitan regions. CUPR and Norman individually won many awards and grants for pathbreaking policy-related research,” said Michael R. Greenberg, a longtime colleague, University Professor, and former dean of the Bloustein School. Throughout his career Dr. Glickman also served as an advisor to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on national urban policy, was a member of Governor James J. Florio’s Council on Job Opportunities (1992-1993), was a member of the City of Austin, Texas Economic Development Task Force for the Austin Comprehensive Plan and served as chair of

the Economic Development Commission for the City of Austin (1985 -1989 ), and served on the Vice President’s Task Force on Youth Employment as a principal analyst for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. He was the recipient of the President’s Award, the highest honor of the New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association, given to CUPR for its contribution to urban planning in the state of New Jersey and was awarded a Certificate of Special Achievement by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. D r. G l i c k m a n a l s o worked w it h com mu nit y development organizations throughout the country on issues of economic development and poverty and was a certified mediator of public policy disputes. Dr. Glickman was the author of numerous books, monographs, and reports, including The New Competitors: How Foreign Investors Are Changing the U.S. Economy (New York: Basic Books, 1989) with Douglas P. Woodward, which was translated into Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish; Choices for American Industry (Washington, D.C.: Labor Policy Institute, 1987) with Ray Marshall ; Econometric Analysis of Regional Systems : Explorations in Model Building and Policy Analysis (New York: Academic Press, Inc., 1977); and Economy in Crisis: The State of Working New Jersey, 2009 (New Jersey Policy Perspective, 2009). After his retirement in 2015, he edited and contributed to LBJ’s Neglected Legacy: How Lyndon Johnson Reshaped Domestic Policy and Government (University of Texas Press, 2018). He served on the editorial boards of several journals including Journal of Planning and Market s , Re gional Studies, Planning and Markets, Journal of Planning Literature, International Regional Science Review, Urban Affairs Quarterly, Journal of Regional Science, and Regional Science and Urban Economics, among others. Dr. Glickman earned his Ph.D. and Master of Arts in Economics as well as a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. Son of Beatrice and stepfather Harry Glickman and father Abraham Pesso, he is survived by his wife of 37 years, Elyse M. Pivnick and two daughters, Katy Rose Glickman and her husband Joshua Ellis and daughter Madeline Claire Glickman and partner Shomik Sarkar.

FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET ! WOW! This custom-built house with every creature comfort has just come on the market! Designed and built by the current owners, this home is located on a lovely cul-de-sac in Hopewell. Set back from the street, it is sophistication personified, with a gracious portico framing the front door, which has sidelights and fanlight window. The railing is graceful, fanning outward and embracing the brick steps. In tandem with the six-over-six paned windows and traditional shutters, prepare for a real treat. The front foyer is large and airy, with gleaming wood floors and sweeping staircase. You couldn’t ask for a more welcoming feeling. Here is a wonderful combination of an open plan (views of the living room, a glimpse of custom open shelves, and the sunroom beyond), and a traditional plan. The family room, with custom built-ins, has a vaulted ceiling, skylights, and a gas fireplace. Lots of windows, most with transoms for extra light, are found throughout, and the adjacent eat-in kitchen is a chef’s delight. As if this weren’t enough, there is a lovely sunroom, with walls of windows creating a tranquil place to read a book or have your morning coffee. And the view — you will feel like you are in the treetops! The icing on the cake is the study, also with custom cabinetry and shelves galore! Having company? Your relatives staying for a while? The au pair suite on the main level offers privacy and convenience. Upstairs, the main bedroom is large, with a sybaritic bath with separate shower and jetted tub, and huge walk-in closet. On this level are three additional bedrooms, one en suite, with a charming window seat, the others with a Jack and Jill bath. Fully-floored attic is easily accessible, and provides so much storage space over the garage, including a cedar closet. The professionally finished, walk-out basement is perfect for entertaining. But wait — here are some additional features — we love the dog shower in the spacious laundry/mud room, the feeling of grace and elegance throughout, and, of course, the superb location near Rosedale Park, the equestrian center, County open space, and dog park! All this and more, just a hop into Princeton, with the excellent Hopewell schools. $875,000

“I know we’re supposed to do something to our trees in the spring, but what?” Spring is a great time to be out in the yard spreading shovels full of composted woodchip mulch under your trees. Trees with mulched root zones are usually large, more vigorous, develop faster, and have higher rates of survival than plants surrounded by turf grass or bare dirt. Mulches retain soil moisture and reduce erosion and soil compaction. Mulched trees also have fewer weeds, which reduces the need for the roots to compete for limited resources. Good mulching How wide is wide? A good mulch bed should extend out at least three feet from a tree’s trunk in all directions, though extending out to the drip line is preferred. This is where the fine, absorbing tree roots extend out into the soil, and mulch provides many health-related benefits for these roots. How deep is deep? The mulch bed depth should be maintained at two to three inches. Use the right mulch. For poor soils, use well composted mulch to build up the nutrients. Soils that are healthy will do fine in a highly stable wood bark, which does not breakdown as easily. Bad mulching No volcanoes please! Volcano mulching is when the mulch is piled high around the base of the tree. This practice traps moisture around the trunk and root flare, leading to decay, girdling roots, and often structural failure. Avoid fine mulch. Thick blankets of fine mulch can become matted and prevent the penetration of water and air. Don’t keep adding new mulch on top of the old. While mulch does decompose, you do not want to accumulate excessive mulch year after year by adding fresh mulch every spring. If you want the look of fresh mulch, break up the old with a rake and only add a layer of new on top if there is less than three inches in depth.

Call WOODWINDS (609) 924-3500 or email us treecare@woodwinds.biz to schedule a spring tree inspection and evaluation.

PRICING YOUR HOME TO SELL Location and price are the two biggest considerations a buyer looks at when in the market to purchase a home. You can’t control the location but you can certainly control how you price your home. Identifying market value is key in making sure you are priced right. Overpricing your home can cause it to sit on the market and make potential buyers wonder if there is something wrong with the property. Buyers are savvy, following the market and fully aware of what the house down the block sold for. Your house may be “special” but you need to be sure to take into consideration location, upgrades & condition. Your Real Estate professional can assist in doing a detailed analysis called a Current Market Analysis comparing similar properties to come up with a price that will bring you that offer!

PRINCETON | A regal brick front Georgian Colonial is set on just over 5 acres of lushly landscaped grounds with a pool, pool house and tennis court. Sited far back from the road at the end of a long driveway framed by flowering trees, this graceful residence is close to downtown shopping, restaurants and Princeton University. Highlights of the center hall layout include 5 fireplaces, hardwood floors, high ceilings, elaborate millwork and generously-sized rooms. Introduced by a spacious two-story foyer lined in dimensional woodwork, the entry reveals a fireside living room, banquet-sized dining room, library and office. Leading from the central wing is a newly renovated chef’s kitchen, greenhouse and access to the four car garage. The opposite wing contains a home theater, an exercise room, two bedrooms and two baths. Upstairs, an oversized master suite includes a fireplace in the bedroom and spa-inspired bath, a private balcony and huge dressing room fitted with wardrobe organizers. 5 more bedrooms, a bonus gathering space and 5 full baths complete the level. Outside, stone terraces and formal landscapes distinguish the understated luxury of this quintessential Princeton mansion.

Offered at $2,900,000
