Council Candidates Trade Ideas, Barbs In Lively W-J Forum The four candidates for Princeton Council — Adam Bierman, Michelle Pirone Lambros, Tim Quinn, and Mia Sacks — squared off last Saturday morning in a two-hour forum sponsored by the Witherspoon-Jackson (WJ) Neighborhood Association at the First Baptist Church on John Street. Looking ahead to the Democratic primary on June 4 and the general election in November with two Council positions open, the candidates shared their visions for the future of Princeton. They focused on issues such as what smart growth means for Princeton; the town’s commitment to diversity and the displacement of African American residents; the town’s relationship with Princeton University, with the Princeton Public Schools, and with Mercer County; an economic development plan for WJ; and a Master Plan for Princeton. Ashley Hightower and Antoine Newlin asked the questions and moderated the session. Before a crowd of about 50, Bierman who described himself as an independent Democrat running as an Independent, accentuated his independence throughout the proceedings. Bierman boycotted the Princeton Community Democratic Organization endorsement process in March, criticizing “a pay-to-play” system, while the other three candidates all received the support of the Democratic organization. “I don’t have to cater to the political machine,” Bierman said. “I can think for myself.” Lambros, in her opening statement and responses to the moderators’ questions, emphasized her experience as an entrepreneur and small business owner. “Government works best when it works together with businesses,” she said. She asserted that the municipality could negotiate a better deal with Princeton University and use its leverage to develop costefficient affordable housing solutions.” Quinn, the only incumbent, repeatedly pointed out the depth and breadth of his experience on Council, on the School Board, and in other local public positions. In particular, he emphasized his engagement with the WJ neighborhood. “I’m deeply honored to be considered a friend of this neighborhood,” he said. Continued on Page 9

Council Introduces Ordinance to Change Meter Times, Rates At a meeting of Princeton Council Monday evening, the governing body voted unanimously to introduce an ordinance that, if adopted, will make much-demanded changes to the meter rates and times in downtown Princeton. A public hearing on the issue is May 28. The meters that currently allow two hours of parking will be changed to three hours, and parking at all three-hour meters will be $1.75 an hour. The two-hour meters currently cost $2.25 an hour, while the three-hour meters have been $1.50 an hour. Fifteen-minute and 30-minute meters will continue in some locations. The 10-minute grace period that was part of the town’s old parking system will not be installed at this time. All-day parking spots that were 75 cents an hour will be raised to $1 an hour. And in the Dinky train station lot, all-day parking has been upped from $4 to $5. These upward adjustments make the changes

revenue-neutral. Merchants have complained that their businesses have suffered since the town installed new meters and raised rates late last year. The revamping of Princeton’s parking system has been a topic of numerous meetings over the past few months, particularly between the municipality and members of the Princeton Merchants Association (PMA). Before Council voted Monday on the revisions to the plan, Mayor Liz Lempert thanked the merchants, the municipal staff, the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee, and members of the public for their work on fixing the issue. In turn, PMA president Jack Morrison thanked the Council. “We wanted to be deficit neutral, and we’re now creating the entire town as one district,” he said. Dorothea Von Moltke of Labyrinth Books added that the process of re-adjusting the times and rates brought the merchants closer together. “Now, we’re ready to get

the word out to people who said they’re not coming to downtown anymore, to bring them back,” she said. Council held a special work session on the parking plan last month, focusing on recommendations made by the PMA. The organization had done a survey that found that the changes, which were put into place just before the holiday shopping season, had a “chillingly negative” effect on business. Since that meeting, the Pins and Needles knitting shop on Chambers Street closed its doors, blaming the parking changes as well as online retail. Continued on Page 8

GreenFest Offers Community Celebration of Sustainable Living GreenFest, a community celebration of sustainable living, will take place in the Princeton Shopping Center courtyard from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, May 11.

Hammerstein’s career, and his years entertaining such fellow notables as James Michener, Richard Rodgers, George S. Kaufman, Moss Hart, and Stephen Sondheim. But making the museum a reality takes money. To help raise the $2 million needed to purchase the property, the Arts and Cultural Council of Bucks County and the nonprofit Oscar Hammerstein Museum and Theatre Education Center will hold three events at the farm, May 16-18. “The Art for Oscar” is an exhibit by 50 artists, showcasing works in various media inspired by Hammerstein’s life and work. On May 18, the property will be open to the public from 12-4 p.m.

Made possible by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment of the Arts

“We know that the biggest hits written by Rodgers and Hammerstein were written at the farm,” said Mandee Hammerstein, whose husband, Will, is Hammerstein’s grandson. “The groundbreaking musical Oklahoma, which really changed the format of musical theater, happened at Highland Farm. So did Carousel, South Pacific, and The Sound of Music. So the property definitely inspired him.” Lyrics like “The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye” and “There’s a bright, golden haze on the meadow,” from the song “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” in Oklahoma, are said to have been suggested by views from Hammerstein’s study window at Highland Farm. He and his wife Dorothy bought the property in 1940, at a time when the lyricist was a bit down on his luck. He hadn’t had a major hit since Show Boat, written in the 1920s with Jerome Kern. “They had come here and seen the home, which was a farm with some history of its own. They were considering buying it, and they saw a rainbow,” said Hammerstein. “That was it. They bought it and moved in,” Oscar Hammerstein’s fortunes soon changed. Just a year after buying the property, he and Richard Rodgers established their famous partnership with Oklahoma. A string of other successful musicals followed. And it was at Highland Farm that Ham-

merstein met and mentored the young Sondheim, who was a student at the nearby George School with Hammerstein’s son (Will Hammerstein’s father). “He had some unhappiness in his family life, and he found solace in coming to the Hammerstein home,” said Mandee Hammerstein. He even had a room at the house. He has said that what he learned in a summer he spent there was a real turning point in his life. Meeting Oscar was crucial.” Highland Farm Bed & Breakfast has been owned by Christine Cole since 2007.

the nearly 10,000-square-foot building restored to the way it was when the family lived there. “She bought it about 12 years ago. It had been through several hands and was being rented out to a heavy metal band, and was in really bad shape. She saved it,” Hammerstein said. “Now, it’s in beautiful shape.” Cole met Will Hammerstein, who is an environmental lawyer, “by accident,” his wife said. “He was coming to town for a George School reunion. He had heard so many stories from family members, so he decided to stay there. They talked, and they got this idea for a museum.” The plan would have the nonprofit operate the museum in the barn behind the house, with exhibits dating back to the first theater in Times Square built by Hammerstein’s father, impresario Oscar Hammerstein I. The house would become a museum, with docents providing information about its storied past. Raising the money to buy the property, which was originally 79 acres and its now just under five, is especially important, since it had already been approved for a four-lot subdivision when Cole bought it. The art exhibit will offer works inspired by the Hammerstein legacy, priced from $40 to $5,000. “There is so much history that came from this place,” said Hammerstein. “So buying a piece of art would be a way to have a souvenir, created by living artists, of one of the greatest names in American theater.” Hammerstein said her husband, who was a graphic artist before becoming an environmental lawyer, has devoted numerous professional hours to making the museum a reality since forming the nonprofit in 2011. She also credits the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County for keeping the dream alive. “They have been so helpful,” she said. “This is a great way to tie in exactly what they represent, which is arts and culture. They are helping save a landmark.” For information about attending the fundraiser May 16 and 17 and the open house May 18, visit HammersteinCenter.org. The house is located on East Road. —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:

“Why is the Princeton Battlefield important to Princeton?” (Asked Saturday at the Flag Raising Ceremony at Princeton Battlefield) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

“There are 200 banners on the Army flag representing Army campaigns over the years, and Princeton and Trenton are two of the banners. The sacrifices that were made here are historic. The Battle of Princeton is historically considered the turning point of the Revolutionary War, and had we not won this particular battle there is a great chance that we would have lost the war.” —William Traubel, Pennington

“I’m not a what-if person, but we must ask the question: What if Washington had the lost the Battle of Princeton? I personally believe the Revolutionary War was over. So, what’s important is that it happened here.” —Bill Marsch, Hamilton

“It is a beautiful place. Even though a horrible event, in terms of lots of people losing their lives, happened here, it is a beautiful place. It is quiet, and that lets you reflect on how we have this wonderful thing called liberty here and how we got it.” —Dr. Evelyn McDowell, Lawrenceville

“The Battle of Princeton is one of the most important battles in American military history. It’s a great opportunity obviously for families to enjoy this beautiful state park, but as a teaching tool, we can teach our fellow citizens how our nation was founded and how the tide of the revolution was changed here on this battlefield.” —Roger S. Williams, Lawrenceville

Joanne: “It is the only place that I have ever lived that you can truly immerse yourself in the history of the beginnings of this nation. The Battle of Princeton was a critical turning point of the Revolutionary War, and the Battlefield is a historic monument and important part of our nation’s history. It is one of the many historic places and landmarks in Princeton that make the town so special.” Dan: “It is symbolic of the Spirit of Princeton” —Joanne and Dan Shypula, Princeton

Changes to meter fees and times will go into effect sometime after June 17, on a rolling basis. “We will figure out a very vigorous communication plan,” said Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield. Dashield also provided details on a plan for parking ambassadors, who will be stationed throughout the town to help those having difficulty navigating the meters’ digital technology. Parking enforcement officers and some municipal staff members will be out and about wearing T-shirts to identify them, he said. Dashield also recommended that Council authorize indefinite use of Smart Cards in the Spring Street Garage. But he warned that the tech-

we’re tracking it,” she said. Dashield also outlined a plan for a future ordinance related to tour buses. Those of a certain size will only be permitted to park on Alexander Street, across from the Dinky station, at parking spots that would be $20 an hour. That fee is in line with those in other communities that have a lot of traffic from tour buses, he said. A map will be developed for the buses, which regularly drop off tourists in front of the Princeton University campus on Nassau Street. The buses are supposed to park on Alexander Street while waiting to return to pick up their passengers, but they sometimes park elsewhere. The measure will be brought in front of Council next month, Dashield said. —Anne Levin

nology in the garage is old and will not be reinvested in when it goes down. Smart Card holders can transfer balances on their cards to the PassportParking wallet app, on a voluntary basis. A detailed timeline for these changes should be available by the next Council meeting. C ou nci l m emb er s Eve Niedergang and Tim Quinn recommended that instruction for those who have difficulty using the app should be available, possibly by tech-savvy high school students who could participate in the parking ambassadors program. Council President Jenny Crumiller commented that the app is not difficult to use, and encouraged people to try it. Council member Leticia Fraga agreed that the app is easy to use, but hasn’t always worked. “So hopefully,

Expressing her concern about the future of Princeton at this transitional time, Sacks often took a conciliatory position, stating, “We all care deeply for Princeton, despite our different visions and different emphasis. I don’t think there’s a political machine in Princeton, but there are groups of people who all work very hard.” Pointing out her more than 20 years working in social justice, Sacks noted the need for greater involvement, “more people, more community engagement, and a multi-generational commitment to the community.” In addressing economic prospects for the WJ neighborhood and the town in general, the candidates all commented on the importance of an effective solution to the challenges of affordable housing, with Lambros calling for mixed-use development and greater financial contributions from the University to help reduce property taxes; Quinn vowing to ensure there is a vibrant African American community through zoning and on-street parking modifications and “returning the commercial base to the WJ neighborhood”; Sacks advocating Mercer County small business grants, and a focus on an infusion of input from the high-tech industry, as well as echoing the need for rezoning and plans for investment in African American owned businesses; while Bierman demanded a whole new method for determining property taxes, asserting, “We have to get radical.” The candidates differed

most sharply on the question of the Princeton Master Plan. Quinn called for taking the time to have “real engagement at the grass roots level” and noted that government can’t maneuver like a speedboat but “maneuvers more like a battleship or an aircraft carrier.” Sacks emphasized the importance of “getting it right” on the Master Plan with the whole community having a voice “in where we grow, how we grow, who’s able to stay, and who’s forced to go. What we need now is a process for 50-year planning, not just year-to-year planning. I’m running for Council because my priority is long-term planning.” Picking up on Quinn’s nautical metaphor, Bierman stated, “The ship’s going in the wrong direction, lurching from crisis to crisis.” He accused the Council of not listening to its constituents and failing to set clear priorities. Lambros, citing the parking controversy, echoed Bierman’s concern about Council not lis-

tening to the community, as she urged that the Master Plan must be updated and must draw more heavily on University resources. Leighton Newlin, WJ resident, an organizer of the event, and the forum timekeeper, summed up the proceedings. “Princeton is at a very serious point in our evolution,” he said. “There are major decisions to be made that will impact lives for many years in the future. It’s good to hear the visions, plans, and ideas of the individuals who would like to make those decisions. And how happy we are as a community to see young people step up and take on the burden and awesome responsibility of leadership.” Lambros, Quinn, and Sacks will compete in the June 4 Democratic primary for two places on the November 5 ballot, and Bierman will be running as an Independent on the November ballot. There are no Republican candidates for Council this year. —Anne Levin

School Matters PHS Students Win 2019 Euro Challenge Competing against 24 other high schools from across the country at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York last week, Princeton High School students won the final round of this year’s Euro Challenge, demonstrating their financial literacy and specific knowledge of countries in the euro area. West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North placed second out of more than 90 teams of ninth- and 10th-grade students from 15 states participating overall. Each team delivered a presentation on the economic situation of the euro area and then focused on an economic challenge facing one of the 19 euro area countries. Finally, teams had to answer questions from a panel of judges to showcase their grasp of economic issues and policy trade-offs. The winning teams received monetary awards provided by the Moody’s Foundation, and the first- and second-placed teams will receive a free trip to Washington, D.C. to present solutions to the embassy of the country they researched. The Euro Challenge is a program launched and supported by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States and is managed by Wise (Working in Support of Education), with sponsorship by Moody’s and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as program advisor.

Littlebrook Students Create Earth-Friendly Grocery Bags Students at Littlebrook Elementary School celebrated Earth Day by adding their creative designs to 400 cloth grocery bags to encourage shoppers to use them as an alternative to plastic or paper bags. McCaffrey’s Food Market offered those bags as a gift to customers and the environment on Earth Day. “The initiative is part of a larger effort to bring awareness,” said Littlebrook K-5 science teacher Martha Friend. “Our school community, including students, staff, and families, works hard to be responsible stewards of our environment through many initiatives like using reusable plates and cups in our classrooms, switching from plasticware to reusable cutlery in our cafeteria, the substitution of fiberware containers for many plastic food containers used by our food service, and working to get rid of as many single-use plastics as possible in all areas of our lives.” The bags were decorated by pre-K to grade five students in partnership with science lab teachers and classroom teachers, and through the support of the school’s PTO, which purchased the bags.

Are you getting bathed every day? Is your house clean? Is your house safe? Do you have grab bars in your bathroom? Do you have a shower chair? Who helps you?” The statistics showed that “we can keep people in their homes for a fraction of what it costs to keep them in a facility,” she said. Maybe a home health aide comes in for 15 hours a week to help people meet basic needs. Maybe all that person needs is someone to go to the store once a week, somebody to remind them to take their medications, or somebody to do their laundry.” Transitions Reynolds worked for the Community Care Program for the Elderly and Disabled (CCPED) from 1983 to 2014, case managing Medicaid, Medicaid waiver programs, and Medicare services through the VNA. But 2014 brought a seismic shift in Reynolds’ career and her personal life. “ESSENCE OF NURSING”: Suzanne Reynolds, a nurse for 42 The state was dismantling years, currently works for WellCare, focusing on patient-cen- the CCPED (name changed tered care planning, a field she pioneered early in her career. to Global Options) and diHer priority is to keep patients in their homes for cost-effectiveness and a better quality of life. (Photo courtesy of Suzanne Reynolds) When Suzanne Reynolds was only 14 years old, her mother underwent a surgical procedure called vein stripping to treat varicose veins. When she came home from the hospital she needed somebody to wrap her legs, and Suzanne volunteered. “So I would wrap her legs, and that’s when I decided I wanted to be a nurse,” Reynolds said. Soon afterwards she signed on as a Junior Auxiliary Nurse (JAN) at Perth Amboy General Hospital (now Raritan Bay Medical Center), traveling the short distance from her family’s home in Fords. “I was a bit too old to be a candy striper, so at 14 I was a JAN,” she added. “We’d help to feed the patients, refill their water glasses, socialize, and work with the patients in the hospital — and I really liked it.” She wasted no time plunging into her chosen profession, receiving her RN from Middlesex Community College at age 19 and starting full-time work the following month. By the time her official RN certification came through two months later, she was in charge of the whole floor at Perth Amboy General. Forty-two years later, Suzanne Reynolds is still nursing with purpose and passion. Her particular passion focuses on public health nursing, pioneering and developing the field of case management — working with patients to help them stay and age in their own homes, which is not only more costeffective than a hospital or nursing home stay, but also potentially provides a far better quality of life. “This career has been incredibly rewarding,” Reynolds said. “My joy and my reward come when I know that I made a difference in

a patient’s life to keep her home and get her what she needs. That’s what gives me satisfaction.” Early Career After working full-time for a year at Perth Amboy General, Reynolds, at her father’s insistence, went back to college, this time to William Patterson University, where she was introduced to public health nursing and earned her bachelor’s of science degree in nursing. After college she signed on with the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Middlesex County, where she worked for 35 years, from 1981 to 2016. “I fell in love with public health nursing,” she said. “I loved going into people’s homes, one-on-one. That was what I wanted to do and I’ve done it ever since.” In her first year with VNA she worked in the EdisonMetuchen area. “I would do the hands-on nursing for people who came out of the hospital — wound care, cardiac, all varieties of patients.” Then, in 1982, Reynolds became one of the first nurses involved in the field of case management, coordinating services for patients, a new profession under the umbrella of nursing and social work. She was a participant in a channeling demonstration project, a pilot program which showed the effectiveness in cost and life quality of providing services to keep people in their own homes rather than in facilities. Reynolds learned how to do comprehensive assessments to determine the patient’s level of care and basic needs. “Medical, psychological, and physical functionality all come into play,” Reynolds said. “How do you get your groceries? How do you get to the doctor? Who helps you with your medications?

recting employees to one of five managed care firms in the state. Reynolds didn’t know whether she would stay with the VNA or with case management. “The job I loved and built was ending, and it was heartbreaking for me. I didn’t know what I was going to do.” And then in March 2014 Reynolds was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had to leave her job before it ended. “I was the one who wanted to stay to the end, but I had to take care of my breast cancer,” she said. She underwent a mastectomy, chemo treatments, and three surgeries. She is now a five-year breast cancer survivor. Case Manager And after only six months she went back to work, first on discharge planning at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital (RWJ) in New Brunswick, then for the private care department with the VNA. But she missed doing case management. “I realized that’s what I was born to do. That’s where my expertise lies. I missed doing it for two years. I know the resources in the area and I know the providers. I know how to get the patients what

they need. I know the health system and I know the Medicaid system and a lot of the people who work in the system. If patients have a problem, I’m usually able to help them negotiate it.” Reynolds now works for WellCare Health Plans Inc., a company providing government-sponsored managed care services. “It’s a wonderful company to work for,” she said. “WellCare and I together will do whatever it takes to get people what they need.” The focus of Reynolds’ work is patient-centered care planning. With new members every month, she goes to their homes to do a thorough assessment of their needs: medical history, medications, doctors, current home situation, “whatever we can provide to keep them home safely.” Her current case load is 60 patients. She visits them regularly, sometimes at medical adult daycare centers and sometimes in their homes. Among the resources Reynolds arranges might be homebased supportive care in the form of health aides; somebody to come in to help with shopping, cleaning, or other household needs; medical and non-medical transpor-

tation; private duty nursing; meals; even respite care so family caregivers can take a vacation. Reynolds emphasized, “the passion I feel about case management services and how they really make a difference in people’s lives. We can help people get what they need and help them navigate the often confusing system.” She added, “I’ve had an incredible nursing career.” In 2007 Reynolds was nominated for the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Nursing, and in 2008 she was the Visiting Nurse Association Nurse of the Year. She has lived for the past 22 years with her husband Steve in Griggstown. “She is a great nurse,” said Nora Luftman, Reynolds’ longtime friend and colleague who now works as a case manager with Amerigroup. Luftman went on to reflect on the nature of that greatness. “She’s one of the best nurses I’ve ever known. She sets the bar very high for herself and gives 110 percent.” She continued, “Caring about another person as an individual is the essence of nursing, and that’s one of the things Suzanne does best.” —Donald Gilpin

Supporting Tim Quinn’s Re-Election Campaign for Princeton Council

To the Editor, We are happy to support Tim Quinn’s re-election campaign for Princeton Council. We met Tim in 2008, when he was new on the Board of Education and volunteered to be liaison to the Minority Education Committee, a group of residents who were concerned with equity in the schools. Tim didn’t talk much at first. He spent most of his time listening as the members of the committee shared their experiences with discrimination in Princeton. He answered questions when asked, but took the time to learn more about the African American and Latino experience in Princeton. When it was time for action, Tim was prepared to advocate for minority students and to participate in the committee’s parent outreach efforts. We kept in touch with Tim and noticed how his advocacy carried over into his professional work at the library and now to his work on Princeton Council. As the first liaison to the re-established Civil Rights Commission, Tim followed the same way of doing things: he listened, answered questions, and helped to connect the commission with the resources it needed to do its work. We urge you to vote for Tim Quinn on June 4 so he can continue his good work on behalf of everyone in Princeton. He has the knowledge and experience to get things done.

Thanking Sustainable Princeton For Co-Sponsoring Bike Valet Parking

To the Editor: The Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee would like to thank Sustainable Princeton for co-sponsoring the Bike Valet parking at Communiversity, and to everyone who helped make it a success. We expanded to two locations this year, serving a total of 85 bike and scooter riders of all ages! Special thanks to David Cohen, PBAC’s Council liaison, who was instrumental in arranging for the event bike racks and for securing a second location for this year, and who devoted more hours than any of us on the Bike Valet. We thank the MacLean Agency, the Whole Earth Center, and the Princeton-Mercer Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau for sponsoring bike racks, and HiTOPS for graciously lending us their lawn at Wiggins & Tulane Streets. Our hearty thanks also to Michelle Lambros for her outreach to the Princeton Merchants Association, identifying sponsors, and helping to coordinate artwork for the donor recognition banners.

“A Great Time Was Had By All” At Enable’s Masquerade Casino Gala

To the Editor: On April 26, Enable, Inc. held its 30th Anniversary Masquerade Casino gala at Mercer Oaks in West Windsor. The evening celebrated Enable’s achievements over the past three decades, as well as our aspirations for the future. A great time was had by all as guests enjoyed the excitement of Masquerade and the thrill of casino gaming. For the past 30 years, Enable has been committed to providing exceptional services to individuals with disabilities. Today, we are serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We have 21 group homes, four day programs, and in-home support services throughout Central New Jersey. We were thrilled to honor several very special guests this year including Bloomberg, LP as Corporate Volunteer, April Sette of New Jersey Buzz as Community Advocate, and Ken Falk, Esq. for his many years of service on Enable’s Board. Many months were spent planning our gala and I would like to acknowledge those who helped bring our event to fruition. Special thanks to our gala committee comprised of Enable staff and several community members, Barbara Brehaut, Fayez Elias, Hillary Spivak, Tiffany Vrabel, and Joe Welke; Mercer Oaks, Wow Entertainment; Showstoppers Plus; Escarpeta Photography; Fast Signs; Christina Muller graphic design; and all the individuals and businesses who contributed prizes for our auction.

Princeton Community TV Has Been Invaluable Resource for CFPA

To the Editor: I was distressed to learn in your recent article [pg. one, April 24] that Princeton Community TV has not had its funding, derived from Princeton municipal government’s revenues from cable TV companies, renewed for 2019. The same article said that as a result, the station may deplete its reserves and close at the end of this year. Princeton TV has been an invaluable resource in broadcasting and recording important presentations made by the Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA). Last November, talks by Amb. Wendy Sherman, chief U.S. negotiator of the Iran Nuclear Agreement; and the Rev. Jesse Jackson were recorded for broadcast, and we were able to put links to them on our website. Earlier a CFPA talk by Noam Chomsky was viewed by 50,000! Most recently, talks by three nuclear weapon experts given before a full house at CFPA’s March 31, 2019 Membership Renewal Gathering were also broadcast and posted as links on the internet. And Princeton TV has generously made its studio available for recording a series of Peace Matters podcasts I started earlier this year, which have been heard by over 11,500 listeners. As a show of financial support, CFPA recently contributed the modest nonprofit organization membership fee. I urge Princeton municipal government, and individuals or foundations that could offer financial support to contribute, so Princeton TV will remain a great community resource for years to come. Their website, which includes a donate button, is princetontv.org. Sincerely, THE REV. ROBERT MOORE Executive Director of the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action

Thanking Princeton Police For Professional, Timely Response

To the Editor: I want to express my gratitude for the professional and timely response of our local Police officers. I reported what I thought was a stolen iPad at 8 the morning after it was lost. Although I later discovered that a friend had picked it up to keep it safe, within an hour of my call to the department, officers showed up and conducted a thorough and helpful interview. One of the officers left his card, which I called when I discovered that the iPad was safe with a friend. I regret that they went through so much trouble, but it was a revelation to see how wonderful our local officers are. Thank you for all you do.

Sustainable Princeton played a crucial role in facilitating the sponsorship of our new racks by private donors, and processing these donations to procure the racks. So far, however, three of the ten racks have actually been funded, and PBAC encourages additional “angels,” whether bike-friendly businesses, or private individuals, to step forward and help close the gap to sponsor the remaining seven racks. Please contact Sustainable Princeton (molly@sustainableprinceton.org) for more information. And of course, thanks to all who biked or rode your scooter to Communiversity, whether or not you parked it with the Bike Valets! The next Bike Valet will be at Sustainable Princeton’s GreenFest, on May 11, at the Princeton Shopping Center. We hope to see you there!

Princeton Business Owners Support Michelle Pirone Lambros

To the Editor: As we lose yet another small business, Pins and Needles, in our downtown, it’s time to ask: Why isn’t Princeton Council doing more to support local merchants? Small businesses create more than 60 percent of all new jobs in the U.S. economy, and a vital business community is the backbone of any local economy. The unique flavor of our town has always been marked by the small businesses that give Princeton character. They provide that live-shop-work-play lifestyle that sets Princeton apart from so many towns. They attract out-of-town shoppers. And they employ residents. Municipal government works best when it works together with business: to set goals, solve problems, and work to attract, keep, and grow the local economy. Princeton is no different from other towns. It needs this same type of support, yet over the past decade or so this connectivity has been eroding. We support the election of Michelle Pirone Lambros to Princeton Council because she is the only candidate who reaches out to the business community and is actively working to address our needs and help solve the problems we face. She sees the importance of the business sector and has concrete ideas on how to solve the myriad issues we face today. With growing competition from big box and the internet, we must be more open and flexible to new ways to do business, and to diversify our retail offerings. She is working on the Economic Development Committee. She advocates for solving the parking meter problem by lowering rates, improving communication on the technology, giving a bonus for using the APP, and extending the grace period. In addition to working out solutions for the parking meters, she advocates for more downtown parking. She sees the value in having a greater variety of uses for new types of businesses and she advocates for making changes that will make opening a new business easier, such as eliminating the cumbersome, expensive, and time consuming permitting process in favor of a more streamlined process with lower fees. Creating a welcome kit for new businesses, and working on better way finding and signage would help visitors find parking, help calm traffic concerns, and highlight centers of commerce. Exploring partnerships with the University’s Center for Entrepreneurship and reaching out to state-wide programs for new business innovation and small business loans are also priorities for Michelle. Some of these initiatives are new ideas, others have been discussed and are being worked on in the EDC, and what Michelle would do is to champion and drive these initiatives to get them done expeditiously. Not everyone on Council needs to have the same skill set or vision for Princeton. A healthy mix of aptitudes means a stronger, more diverse government. Michelle has the business community in mind and often looks to be a resource for new ideas for innovation and expansion as well as streamlining costly and cumbersome permitting to help the small business community thrive. Finally, Michelle understands that investing and growing our business sector means revenue from commercial taxes which offsets the burden on residential property taxes. Today, commercial taxes represent roughly 20 percent of all tax revenue, or approximately $60 million per year. A decline in this revenue would have to be made up in residential taxes, and an increase in this revenue with additional business growth, would offset the huge tax burden on our residents. Investing in economic development just makes good economic sense for our community. We support Michelle Pirone Lambros as the only candidate with an eye on the business sector and economic development for our community.

Dramatic Increase In Sustainable Initiatives at Communiversity

To the Editor: On behalf of Sustainable Princeton’s trustees, staff, volunteers, and supporters, we thank the Arts Council of Princeton, Princeton University’s Office of Sustainability and Office of Community and Regional Affairs, the Municipality of Princeton’s Public Works De-

partment, and event attendees for their support of our sustainable initiatives at Communiversity ArtsFest 2019. We saw a dramatic decrease in the volume of waste at this year’s Communiversity. Local businesses did an excellent job of reducing overall packaging with an impressive amount of food merchants using compostable bowls, utensils, and straws. More visitors than ever engaged in our Waste Center tents requesting information about proper recycling and updates on the food composting program in an effort to reduce Princeton’s carbon footprint. How wonderful to see so many people arrive to Communiversity in a sustainable way — with two bike valet stations this year, thanks to the Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee, more than 85 community members arrived by bike and there were numerous walkers. At Sustainable Princeton, we are committed to the motto, Change a Habit, Change the World. Collectively, we’re making great strides to make Communiversity a greener event each year thanks to the collaborative efforts with the Arts Council of Princeton and Communiversity event planners. MOLLY JONES Executive Director Sustainable Princeton

Advising Removal of Above-Ground Canopy At Municipal Gas Station

To that end, I propose the following: Convening a public process, for a comprehensive review and update of our Masterplan that reflects a consolidated, united Princeton. For those not familiar with a Masterplan, it is the mechanism by which community values and goals are translated into land use and development principles. The updated policies of our Masterplan will provide a much-needed guide for municipal decision makers as we navigate the consequences of growth in Princeton and the communities around us. Additionally, I propose the inclusion of a new element to Princeton’s Masterplan focused on economic development. Genuine, lasting economic health for our town requires planning for and balancing the needs of all sectors: housing, transportation, and schools, as well as our central business district. In recent years, I have been deeply involved in the development of a Climate Action Plan for Princeton. The format of this process, which engaged all major stakeholders in the town, is ideally suited for producing a long-overdue Economic Development Plan for Princeton. Setting in motion the process for charting our community’s shared economic future will be a top priority for me on Council. My years of service to Princeton have left me well-grounded in the challenges we face, and my professional background in the nonprofit sector has prepared me to function effectively at the intersection of law and public policy. My candidacy represents a bridge between the investment of my grandparents in this community, to the benefits that both my mother’s and my generation received, to my willingness to work with you in planning our shared future. I look forward to working together with you, my community, for a Princeton in which we can afford to remain and our grown children will want to return. MIA SACKS Terhune Road

To the Editor: After reading recent published articles, transcripts, and editorials regarding the Princeton municipal gas station, the right course of action is for the municipality to admit its error, make amends to its residents and remove the above-ground canopy. The municipal administration admits that their communication about the project was flawed and “re-wrapping the top of the canopy from black to red” will make no difference — it’s just plain UGLY and detracts from Princeton’s beauty. For decades municipal employees fueled their vehicles without a canopy and can continue to do so — being outside is simply part of most of their jobs anyway.

Thanking Everyone Who Helped With Princeton Festival’s Anniversary Gala

To the Editor: We were enormously gratified to welcome the largest crowd ever to the Princeton Festival’s 15th Anniversary Gala, dubbed “A Crystal Celebration,” on April 27. We want to thank everyone who helped put the event together, and everyone who participated in the fun, for supporting our 2019 season of opera, jazz, musical theater, concerts, and free community programs. This landmark season runs from June 9 to June 30. Performance and ticketing information is available at www. princetonfestival.com. Guests make a party, and members of the Princeton community and beyond came to celebrate. The pre-dinner cocktail hour was lively, the bidding on the silent and live auctions was competitive, and the dance floor was packed until curfew. In the process our guests set a new Gala record for the amount of money raised. Thank you to all of them. It takes a great team to plan and run such an event. Chairs Marcia Bossart, Helene Kulsrud, and Anastasia Marty and the members of the Gala committee planned and executed an exceptional party right down to the last detail. It was also wonderful of them to recognize Honorary Chairs Susan Rhoda Hansen, Dr. George Hansen, Pamela Bristol, and Jerry Odening, who have done so much to support the Festival over the years. No dinner party is truly successful without fabulous food. Executive chef Chris Krail and the banquet staff at Cobblestone Creek Country Club delivered a true gourmet feast, from hors d’oeuvres to dessert. Last but not least was the entertainment. Harry Fini set the tone for the evening as cocktail pianist. After dinner the Courtney Colletti Band entertained with “Crystal Memories,” a survey of the Festival’s musical theater presentations over the years, and then swung into music to get everyone dancing. This year the Festival’s presentations include Nixon in China, a landmark modern opera with mesmerizing music; the charming musical She Loves Me; Grammy-nominated jazz vocal sensation Jazzmeia Horn; Rachel Cheung, an internationally acclaimed pianist; and three Baroque concerts. Our nine free lectures and community events plus two workshops enrich the season. None of it would be possible without the kind of support exemplified by the Gala. Once again, our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. RICHARD TANG YUK Executive and Artistic Director COSTA PAPASTEPHANOU Board Chair The Princeton Festival

Mia Sacks Explains Her Decision To Run for Princeton Council

To the Editor: I believe, along with many of our longtime residents, that decisions made over the next five years in Princeton, will set the foundation for life here in the next 50 years. This was the impetus for my decision to run for Princeton Council, and my focus as a councilperson will be proactive planning for Princeton. Successful planning requires maximum public participation; conversely, an inability to achieve public consensus about the future of a community is a fundamental reason why planning fails. The central challenge we face is how, in collaboration with our key institutional stakeholders, we can retain the cultural and economic diversity that has long defined our community.

“Two Persons” Read the Hardy Boys On the Eve of the Friends of the Library Book Sale “No two persons ever read the same book.” —Edmund Wilson (1895-1972) his observation by the eminent American man of letters and Princeton graduate (Class of 1916) Edmund Wilson, born May 8, 1895, in Red Bank, N.J., also applies to my recent return at an advanced age to a Hardy Boys adventure I first read as a tenyear-old. While the fourth grader who devoured a ghostwritten mystery may or may not be the same person who comes to it after a lifetime of “serious reading.” I like to think the adult reader’s DNA was already there, hidden in the consciousness of the ten-year-old with nothing under his belt but five years of Classic Comics, Freddy the Pig, Captain Marvel, Donald Duck, and Little Lulu. A Title to Reckon With My excuse for going back to A Figure in Hiding (1937) is Friday’s Friends of the Library Book Sale, which features rare first editions of two later volumes in the Hardy Boys series, The Short Wave Mystery (1945) and The Secret of Skull Mountain (1949). Compared to those standard boy’s mystery titles, the one I found instantly mesmerizing the day I saw it on the shelves of a gloomy Fourth Avenue bookshop sounds more like Henry James (think “The Figure in the Carpet”) than Franklin W. Dixon. A Figure in Hiding lends itself to any medium. It could refer to the title figure in the 1949 film The Third Man, which will be shown at New York’s Film Forum next week, or it could caption the moment Harry Lime, the man of mystery played by Orson Welles, is seen hiding in a dark Viennese doorway; it’s no less expressive of the presence of the unseen and unseeable in the work of painters from DaVinci to Picasso and of the veiled meanings tricked out by poets dating back to and beyond the ambiguous figure conspiracy theorists suspect of lurking behind Shakespeare. Or how about the undiscovered second assassin in Dallas, or Watergate’s figure in hiding, Deep Throat? And don’t forget special counsel Robert Mueller, the figure the enemies of justice hope to keep in hiding as they attempt to bury evidence of Russian interference and presidential obstruction. Found on Fourth Avenue It was the day before Christmas. I’d just turned ten and was visiting New York for the first time. My father had taken me to one of the secondhand book stores that once lined the stretch of Fourth Avenue due south of 14th Street. There was a sense of impending danger in the dingy, crowded, ramshackle space not unlike the mixture of fear and awe aroused in me by the scarily exciting heights and depths of the city. I even saw a semblance of the metropolis in the book-lined tenement towering over me, the titled spines like windows, the shelves like floors, with A Figure in Hiding, the title tempting me, standing out as if it occupied the

only open lighted window. Slowly, carefully taking down the book (the tower of shelves seemed none too steady), I saw a cover the color of khaki with the title in dark brown letters above an image of two silhouetted forms recoiling from some dread force suggested by jagged bolts of lightning. As I flipped through the pages wondering why the simple ordinary word figure could suggest such menace, I heard a sudden confusion of sounds on the street outside: breaking glass, a shout, running footsteps, a policeman’s whistle, New York being New York. I went to the front of the store, where my father and the owner were looking out the window and commenting on what had just happened. The owner said something about a hold-up (“happens all the time around here”), no doubt for the benefit of the wide-eyed kid with the book in his hand. I read A Figure in Hiding the same night, with the street sounds of flight and pursuit replaying in the back of my mind. I was alone in our room in the upper stories of the Biltmore Hotel, so absorbed, so fascinated, so blissfully held and harrowed that I was still reading when my parents came back from midnight mass at St. Patrick’s cathedral. The Hidden Author What I know now that I didn’t then is that the most significant figure in hiding was the author himself. For years I believed in a living breathing person named Franklin W. Dixon, someone I imagined resembling Frank and Joe Hardy’s detective father, Fenton, the “tall man with the shrewd face” introduced in the opening chapter. Now I find that a Canadian named Leslie McFarlane authored the mystery I was so wrapped up in that memorable Christmas Eve. As the older “second person” revisiting A Figure in Hiding, my attitude of skeptical adult detachment was softened when I learned online that McFarlane labored on the book for a publishing syndicate during the Depression along with some 20 others in the series, for which he was paid as little as $85 for each volume he turned out. Although he considered the Hardy Boys assignment a “nuisance,” he had a growing family and, according to his son, was writing “to buy coal for the furnace.”

Reading Then and Now From the first page to the last, A Figure in Hiding is a benign minefield of dated, stilted phrasing, classic cliches, and coincidences that would make Dickens blush. The kid reading all alone in the Biltmore could care less, while his senior alter ego was more often amused than irritated as he adapted to an environment where the father called his sons “chaps” and a great aunt’s “bark was a good deal worse than her bite.” Soon I didn’t care how often people were “crestfallen,” nor how often the fat, comic relief sidekick Chet was referred to as “the stout lad.” I didn’t make a face every time a character was “trembling with fright,” not when I remembered the frightened ten-yearold and not when I thought of the man slaving away to keep the family furnace burning. Even when reading that a thief “had vanished as completely as if the earth had opened up and swallowed him,” I took it in stride, imagining how it would be at ten, running headlong into a cliche of that magnitude; no reason to roll your eyes or tiptoe around the unsightly hand-me-down, you go with the metaphor, feel it, believe it, live it, fall right into it. The Girl in the Title Some things never change. Regardless of how young or old a person I may be, I perk up whenever an interesting female enters the scene, whether it’s in a film or a book. While the ten-year-old falls head over heels for Tom Sawyer’s Becky and Judy Garland’s Dorothy, it’s love at first sight for the aging adult, whether it’s fascinating Grushenka in The Brothers Karamazov, book and film, or Kitty in Anna Karenina. As it happens, a movie is where the story begins, with Frank and Joe on their way to a “mystery film” called A Figure in Hiding. Since the Bayport Rialto is crowded that night, the brothers have to make do with seats next to two girls they know: Callie, who is “especially admired by Frank,” and Iola, who Joe (“no ladies’ man”) admits is “all right” for a girl. Although neither Callie nor Iola plays a part in the narrative, their presence hints at the approach of the character who will run away with the book. After witnessing the theft at gunpoint of $900 from the cashier at the Rialto,

Frank and Joe are asked by their detective father to help with a case that leads to Frank peeking through a key hole into the hotel room occupied by two criminals named Rip Sinder and Spotty Lemuel. A sudden knock at the door and before they can hide the incriminating papers they’ve been working on, a girl rushes in crying “Father, you must come home!” What Callie’s admirer Frank sees is “a pretty young woman about seventeen years of age,” who turns out to be Virginia, Sinders’s feisty adopted daughter, and as soon as she sees what he and Lemuel are up to, she lets them have it: “You cheats! You’re schemers, both of you!” Hoping to shut her up, Lemuel reveals that Sinder is not her real father. Stunned, she bolts from the room, jumps in a car, and drives off with the Hardy Boys and two readers in pursuit. The appeal of Virginia isn’t simply that she’s pretty and headstrong, she’s also spectacularly untrustworthy and unpredictable. After driving her car into the river and being rescued by the Hardys, who clean up the car and get it running again, she hurls herself behind the wheel and drives wildly off without a word of thanks. Over and over again, she’s the wild card, the elusive darling, the phony damsel in distress who at one time is suspected of absconding with the thief’s $900 and stealing his car, which she plans to drive to Miami disguised as a boy. Even so, you know that she’s a good girl at heart and will end up living with her loving grandmother. Still, she’s the best thing in the book, the main reason you keep reading, however old you may be, and when she settles down at the end, she actually claims to be the title character, promising Frank and Joe that she will no longer be “a figure in hiding.” The Last Word Virginia Sinder sent me back to Edmund Wilson, who once wrote, “She was one of those women whose features are not perfect and who in their moments of dimness may not seem even pretty, but who, excited by the blood or the spirit, become almost supernaturally beautiful.” Wilson was describing the charismatic poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, who turned down marriage proposals from Wilson, among others, one of whom called her “a frivolous young woman, with a brand-new pair of dancing slippers and a mouth like a valentine.” A Signed “Song of Solomon” mong the special items at this year’s Friends of the Princeton Public Library Book Sale is a signed copy of Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon, mistakenly described as a first edition in last week’s page 14 article.

MUSIC REVIEW

Princeton Pro Musica Celebrates 40-Year History of Choral/Orchestral Performance

40-year history is commendable for any performing organization, and Princeton Pro Musica, which presented its first concert in the spring of 1980 and has only had two music directors in four decades, celebrated this milestone this past weekend with a festive concert at the Princeton University Chapel. Pro Musica’s decades-long musical roots provided bookends to Saturday afternoon’s performance of the music of George Frideric Handel as founder Frances Fowler Slade led the 100-voice chorus in the opening and closing works on the program. Current Artistic Director Ryan James Brandau conducted the chorus and an accompanying chamber orchestra in several of Handel’s lesser-known but equally as appealing pieces, recreating a concert atmosphere which could have taken place in Handel’s time in a space which well suited the performers and repertoire. Slade retired from Pro Musica in 2012, but many of the current singers performed under her direction for a number of years. Slade took the podium to lead the chorus and orchestra in two “Coronation” anthems of Handel, a composer whose music Pro Musica performed every year since its founding. Slade maintained a lively tempo in both pieces, keeping a crisp conducting style and encouraging the blocks of sound for which the chorus has been known. The University Chapel can be a cavernous space for a large chorus, and the choral sound that seemed to work best for Pro Musica included the ensemble’s trademark expansive homophonic passages. In both “Zadok the Priest” and “The King Shall Rejoice,” Slade guided the chorus well through the Baroque lilt in the music, demonstrating that even in retirement, she is still looking for precise endings and phrasing. Brandau took the audience back to the early 18th century by juxtaposing excerpts from Handel’s oratorio Alexander’s Feast with an organ concerto which Handel might have played on the same program as the oratorio. Longtime Princeton University Chapel organist Eric Plutz, who also has a strong connection to Pro Musica, played Handel’s Concerto for Organ in G minor using effectively light registrations so that the ornaments and extended running lines were clearly heard in the Chapel. Accompanied by lean str ings, Plut z

showed solid command of Baroque style and musical effects. The excerpts from Alexander’s Feast included four choruses and one aria, which was sung by guest soprano Sherezade Panthaki. Well-known throughout Baroque performance circles, Panthaki showed no fear of the space in the University Chapel, displaying a voice which soared into the Gothic architecture. It takes an unusual singer to fill the Chapel acoustic as a soloist, and especially in the upper registers, Panthaki’s voice was clear all the way to the last pew. The sopranos of Pro Musica were extremely vocally bright in the cho ruses from this oratorio and handled the vocal runs well, as Brandau ended each chorus with orchestral cadences that tapered away. The fifth chorus in particular, “Your Voices Tune,” shifted styles effectively, with a solid and driving underpinning from the celli and double basses. Panthaki had her superstar moment singing Handel’s “Eternal Source of Light Divine,” an aria from the composer’s Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne, originally composed for solo alto and trumpet which has been recently heard more in the soprano world. This aria is loaded with long melodic lines, sustained ornaments, and a demand for almost superhuman vocal stamina. Singing from memor y, Panthaki had no trouble drawing out the lines with perfect control over the aria and space. Joined by sustained strings and trumpeter Shelby Lewis playing a valveless instrument from the pulpit, Panthaki once again sent vocal sound soaring into the rafters of the Chapel, and the two soloists mesmerized the audience throughout the aria. randau closed the concert with a graceful and elegant performance of Handel’s Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day in which Pro Musica showed that the ensemble was well at home in this period of music. Slade returned to the podium to lead the chorus in a closing crowd-pleaser from Handel’s Messiah, a staple of Pro Musica’s repertory. In a very quick tempo and subtly accompanied by the orchestra, Pro Musica closed its anniversary concert with the final chorus from Messiah, leaving a celebratory atmosphere in the Chapel to start off the next four decades of the ensemble’s history. —Nancy Plum

A Family Must Confront Domestic Violence in “Morir Sonyando”; Passage Theatre Offers Compelling Production of Raw, Nuanced Drama

assage Theatre is presenting the New Jersey premiere of Morir Sonyando. This poignant family drama, which is set in North Philadelphia, had its world premiere in 2014 at Philadelphia’s Power Street Theatre Company, where author Erlina Ortiz is resident playwright and artistic director. The title refers to a crucial moment in the story. It can be translated as “die dreaming,” and is the name of a drink that is popular in the Dominican Republic. According to the program, the misspelling of “soñando” is derived from the way Ortiz spelled the word when she was younger. Morir Sonyando concerns the stormy relationship of a Dominican woman, Genesis — and her younger brother, Felix — with their mother, Paloma, who is a victim of domestic violence. Paloma has murdered her husband in a desperate attempt to protect her children, but inflicts on them the treatment she has endured. The play often evokes a nightmare — through its nonlinear time frame, as well as its poetic imagery (Genesis stuffs a doll in a bag shortly before she metaphorically describes the same thing being done to her). At college Genesis studies psychology, and the show gives the sense that the characters are remembering random, repressed events from their pasts that have made them who they are. “For me, Morir Sonyando is a play about searching through the memories of our past in order to heal ourselves in the present,” writes Passage Artistic Director C. Ryanne Domingues, who has directed this production, in a program note. Working from Ortiz’s literate script, Domingues delivers staging that is marked by astute choices. An example is the use of levels; Genesis, who struggles to rise above her experiences, often is placed on an elevated platform. Multimedia is used to great effect. Sadah “Espii” Proctor’s contemplative projections establish the settings — including a street and a prison cell — and underscore the mood of the scenes. Dustin Pettegrew’s gritty set includes multiple video screens that loom above both sides of the stage; on these we see excerpts of a documentary for which Paloma has been interviewed while in prison for her husband’s murder. The clips, which offer a sympathetic portrait of Paloma, are juxtaposed against her live-action behavior toward her children. Jim Streeter’s lighting accents this demarcation. Morir Sonyando is partly inspired by a real-life documentary, Sin by Silence, “which is about women in prison for killing abusive partners. Hearing these women’s stories re-

ally sparked something in me,” Ortiz tells communitynews.org, adding that she aims to give “people voices who don’t have one, and I couldn’t think of anyone who’s had their voice stripped away more desperately than an incarcerated woman.” In exploring this theme, Morir Sonyando is somewhat reminiscent of Caged, which Passage presented last season. In the earlier play, extreme poverty causes the protagonist to turn to crime as a means to provide for his family, leading to his imprisonment. In both cases, it is brutally clear that even when the characters are not incarcerated, they still are trapped by their circumstances. “If I thought of abuse, I would think of hitting and slapping, but it doesn’t always start like that,” Paloma reveals in an interview excerpt. “It starts with names. Little jokes that aren’t so funny … before you know it, he’s choking you against the door in the hallway while your children laugh and play on the other side.” We see this behavior repeat itself in Paloma’s treatment of Genesis. It manifests itself first as verbal abuse (we hear her berate Genesis for cutting her hair), then physical assault. In a later interview clip, Paloma describes the dynamic between them as “one of those mother-daughter relationships where we disagree and fight, but we are never really angry because we admire the other so much.”

Paloma may be the antagonist in terms of her relationship with Genesis and Felix, but she is anything but a villain. That she is every bit as much a victim is made clear in the script, through strategic use of flashbacks, and by Johanna Tolentino’s multilayered performance, which portrays Paloma’s kindness as convincingly as it does her cruelty. Tolentino is equally effective in her alternate role as a priestess who sells Felix a bottle of holy water, and urges Genesis to “look into the light” that is offered by her candles. She prays on their behalf to “Divino Niño, for the infant Jesus to bring blessings and good luck into your home.” For this scene, costume designer Caitlin Cisek dresses Tolentino in an opulent white gown that is in sharp contrast to the other clothes in the show, which use an appropriately dark, subdued color palette. Maria Peyramaure’s portrayal of Genesis accentuates the extent to which the character tries, and sometimes fails, to understand her past and recover from it. As a student of psychology, she re-watches Paloma’s interviews with a stoic, analytical expression on her face. This is periodically belied by pained outbursts, which are the surprise they need to be, thanks to Peyramaure’s performance. (“I’m tenure-track. I’m on the alumni board … I just started taking Jiu Jitsu classes!” Genesis abruptly snaps at Felix when he urges her to visit Paloma, who at that point is ailing.)

Daniel Colón’s sensitive performance suggests that Felix is less far along than Genesis in the recovery process; his facial expressions hint that he still is in some shock at everything he has witnessed. Nevertheless, his character is an anchor who makes an effort to keep the family together; even as a young boy, he attempts to diffuse an argument between Paloma and Genesis. At one point, we learn that Felix is going to be a father; the script does not show us his life with his family, so we can only hope that the family’s cycle of abuse will not be passed onto his child. Toward the end one of Proctor’s images offers a succinct, cathartic metaphor; sunlight seeps in through a Venetian blind. This echoes the picnic scene, in which Genesis, who is reading the aptly chosen A Wrinkle in Time, delivers this quote: “And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” Morir Sonyando is unsparing in its honesty, but it is poetic and spiritual. It chooses its words and stage pictures with consistent deliberation, and is filled with recurring motifs. One leaves the theater grateful for having seen it. assage Theatre is partnering with Womanspace to offer post show discussions after the Sunday matinees. Womanspace will have a counselor and resource table available before and after each performance. —Donald H. Sanborn III

Katie Welsh Returns With Spring Cabaret

On Saturday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m., Katie Welsh will perform the second concert in her Spring Cabaret Concert Series at the Arts Council of Princeton, Love… According to the Great American Songbook. In this musical evening, Welsh explores the joys and complications of love in a selection of songs from the Great American Songbook, a collection of what are considered to be the best American songs written in the first half of the 20th century. Often labeled American standards and largely sourced from Broadway and Hollywood musicals, these

songs are being preserved by many organizations and performed by many contemporary artists, from Michael Feinstein to Paul McCartney. For t his per for mance, Welsh will be singing favorite love songs by George and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Cy Coleman, and more. Local to the Princeton area, Welsh specializes in what she calls an “informative cabaret,” a concept she first explored a few years back as part of her senior thesis at Princeton University. In her patter, she’ll delve into some of the backstories and original contexts of the songs, and she’ll share insights into what makes the Great American Songbook so popular and enduring. Pianist David Pearl will again accompany Welsh. He has performed in many of New York’s premiere venues and collaborates frequently with musicians in the jazz and classical community. He has been awarded grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, and his musical arrangements and transcriptions are published and performed regularly. In addition to venues and private events in the Princeton area, Welsh has also been seen in New York at Feinstein’s/54 Below, Don’t Tell Mama, The Duplex, the Metropolitan Room, BroadwayCon, and the Princeton Club of New York. Tickets to each event are $15 and are available at Eventbrite.com or for cash at the door. The Arts Council of Princeton is located at 102 Witherspoon Street.

“Ellarslie Open 36” Annual Juried Exhibit

Over the years, the Ellarslie Open, at Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie in Cadwalader Park, has become a significant exhibition, drawing from the work of professional artists while encouraging and recognizing the work of emerging artists. Today, the Ellarslie Open serves as one of New Jersey’s premier annual juried exhibits. The 36th annual “Ellarslie Open” broke all records for submissions in 2019, with 520 pieces submitted by 281 artists from the Delaware Valley and beyond. Nearly 100 artists were first time applicants to the show. From the wide array of work by so many talented artists, juror Liz Kelton Sheehan has created an exhibition unlike any previous

show, with a strong contemporary graphic component contrasted by more abstract works and highly-detailed still lifes. Award winners will discuss their work at a Gallery Talk on Sunday, May 19 at 2 p.m. “Ellarslie Open 36” runs through July 7. Curator Liz Kelton Sheehan is an educator and independent curator of contemporary art with particular interests in public, interactive, and interdisciplinary projects. A resident of Bucks County, Pa., she holds degrees in art history and museum studies from Bowdoin College and Tufts University, and has over 15 years of experience working with museums and organizations in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Since moving to the area six years ago, Sheehan has curated exhibitions for the Hunterdon Art Museum, the James A. Michener Art Museum, and the Hicks Art Gallery at Bucks County Community College. In addition, she is the co-organizer of the Lambertville-New Hope PechaKucha series, which she started in 2015 to

“HOORAY FOR MAY!”: The Center for Contemporary Art’s sixth annual family art day will be held this Saturday, May 11, from 1 to 4 p.m. The free event features hands-on art activities and guided gallery tours of The Center’s three spring exhibitions.

In a new exhibition at the Hunterdon Art Museum, eight artists will show how the boundaries between paper and drawing, textiles, painting, architecture, and sculpture are dissolving. “Transformed: Paper in Dimension” begins Sunday, May 19 with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. that is open to all. The show runs through September 1. Exhibition curator Carol Eckert notes that paper traditionally has been used as a ground: its flat surface a conduit to convey meaning by applying ink or pigment. But these works alter that: the physicality of the paper itself becomes the means to transmit the content, its dimensional forms capturing light and reflection and reconfiguring space, Eckert said. “The artists transform a simple and available material by cutting, weaving, folding, shredding, tearing, twisting, gluing, and sewing — creating multifaceted structures and intricate physical drawings,” Eckert said. “Blurring the lines between traditional disciplines, these artists create works that are often mutable in the ways they interact with particular spaces, energizing and influencing the environments in which they are installed.” Light and reflection play critical roles in several of these works. For instance, Laura Vandenburgh’s For Now Clouds is a large wall piece in which hand-cut paper becomes the drawing itself, and reflected color from the backside of the drawing is incorporated into the composition. Several artists respond to the environment through the use of repurposed papers. Nenna Okore focuses on transformation and regeneration though the use of old newspapers and magazine pages, her processes adapted from or inspired by traditional women’s practice, the African environment, and recycled waste. Some of the artists utilize the structural properties of paper to reference infrastructure and architectural systems, others incorporate allusions to mathematical data. Still others evoke textile processes with a sensitivity to texture, pattern, color, and repetition. Artists whose work appears in the show are Nancy Baker, Joell Baxter, Stephanie Beck, Jaynie Crimmins, Adam Fowler, Margaret Griffith, Wendy Letven, Nnenna Okore, and Laura Vandenburgh. Eckert said one factor she considered when putting this show together was seeking work that interacted with the Museum’s space, so the exhibition includes floor and wall works, and elements that hang from the ceiling. The Hunterdon Art Museum is at 7 Lower Center Street in Clinton. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (908) 735-8415 or visit the website at www.hunterdonartmuseum.org.

“QUADRANTS”: This piece by Joell Baxter incorporates screen printed paper, glue, and pushpins. Baxter is one of eight artists featured in “Transformed: Paper in Dimension,” running May 19 through September 1 at the Hunterdon Art Museum. An opening reception in May 19 from 2 to 4 p.m.

$123,000 in awards to support the summer projects and research of 52 Princeton undergraduates, chosen from 80 applicants. Although all first, second, and third-year student-artists are eligible to apply, for many recipients, the funding provides the resources to conduct research, undertake training, and pursue other opportunities critical to achieving their senior thesis project goals in the arts. Three students — Runako Campbell, Gabriella Pollner, and Jhor van der Horst — have been selected for the Alex Adam ’07 Award. Established in memory of Alexander Jay Adam ’07 and made possible by a gift from his family, the award provides $7,500 in support to each of three Princeton undergraduates who will spend a summer pursuing a project that will result in the creation of new artistic work. While a student at Princeton, Alex Adam pursued artistic interests in creative writing and theater. Joyce Carol Oates, his creative writing professor, praised his work as “sharpedged, unexpectedly corrosive, and very funny.” He was also an actor, and performed with the Princeton Shakespeare Company, Theatre Intime, and the Program in Theater. Sophomore Runako Campbell, who is working towards a certificate in dance, will gain exposure to new movement styles, processes, and choreographers as she travels throughout Europe this summer. Through the lens of photography, junior Gabriella Pollner seeks to pursue research in the fields of gender, sexuality, popular culture, and media studies. Junior Jhor van der Horst will trace the origins of his ideas and vocabularies as he seeks to better use his multilingual, multi-disciplinary, and multi-cultural history to support himself and his community.

CINEMA REVIEW

.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) was a British fantasy novelist best known for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. After being orphaned at an early age, he attended King Edwards, an exclusive boarding school where he forged close friendships with classmates which would endure over his lifetime. There, he first referred to this semi-secret association of writers and artists as a “fellowship,” a term which ostensibly influenced the unique lexicon of his fictional work. He was also very sensitive about the pronunciation of his surname to the extent that he even complained about it to the school administration, emphasizing that it was “een” as opposed to “in.” While at King Edwards, he met and fell head over heels for Edith Bratt (Lily Collins), an attractive classmate who would not only serve as his muse, but as the inspiration for a couple of his characters. They wed in 1916, but unfortunately their marital bliss would soon be interrupted by his deployment to France in World World I.

The separation from his wife exacted a further emotional toll on the already traumatized Tolkien. Sadly, it spelled the demise of his confederacy of dunces, too. Directed by Dome Karukoski, Tolkien is a poignant portrait which reveals its subject to be quite a complicated soul. The title role is capably played by Nicholas Hoult, who delivers a piercingly evocative performance, probing the depths of the literary giant’s psyche in plausible fashion. The ethereal plotline drifts back and forth between the sobering and the surreal, unfolding against a wartorn landscape of dire proportions. Childhood angst plus wartime trauma yields escapist fantasies for the ages. Excellent (H H H H). Rated PG-13 for war violence. Running time: 112 minutes. Production Companies: Fox Searchlight Pictures/ Chernin Entertainment. Distributor: Fox Searchlight Pictures/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. —Kam Williams

10-Week Kids Marathon Concludes with Fun Run

Young people across central New Jersey are encouraged to get in the habit of regular activity through the Kids Marathon, a 10-week event presented each year by Penn Medicine Princeton Health’s Community Wellness Department. The 11th annual Kids Marathon will conclude Sunday, June 23, with a 1.2-mile fun run at Educational Testing Service (ETS), 660 Rosedale Road. Until then, participants try to rack up 25 miles of activity on their own. “Almost anything can count toward the total — gym class, organized sports, riding your bike, walking to school, household chores,” said Debbie Millar, director of Princeton Health’s Community Wellness Department. “We also sponsor free, kid-friendly classes in exercise, gardening, nutrition, and cooking that kids can complete to earn miles toward their total.” Princeton Health initiated the Kids Marathon in 2009 to raise awareness of the dangers of childhood obesity and promote regular physical activity for all children. The percentage of children with obesity in the United States has more than tripled since the 1970s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Young people in grades pre-K through 8 strive to run, walk, roll 25 miles — or an average 2.5 miles per week — during the weeks leading up to Sunday, June 23. On that day, the marathoners gather for the fun run, completing the full 26.2-mile distance of a marathon. To sign up, parents can visit www.princetonhealthinmotion.com or call (888) 897-8979. The cost is $25 per child. Free scholarships are available.

Extending Win Streak to 9 in Winning Ivy Tourney, Princeton Women’s Lax Hosting NCAA Weekend

he Princeton University women’s lacrosse team has accomplished two of its goals, and now begins the pursuit of their third and loftiest goal. Having won the regular season Ivy League title for the sixth straight year and then the Ivy League Tournament for the second straight season, the seventh-seeded Tigers will host the winner of Fairfield and Wagner in the first round of the NCAA tournament on May 10 at Class of 1952 Stadium. Princeton comes off a 13-9 win over Penn for the Ivy tournament championship Sunday, and hope to extend their ninegame winning streak. “We’ve met two of our goals this year, but we have a lot in front of us,” said Sailer. “We want to go deep in this tournament. None of these players have been to a final four or won a national championship and certainly those are goals of ours as a program and a team. It’s always one game at a time. We’re going to look ahead to the winner of the play-in game Tuesday and see who we have to be ready to do battle with and try to extend the season into May as long as we possibly can. Our kids have a maturity about them. They’re happy with what we’ve done, but they’re not going to settle for that. They want more. They want to keep playing together.” Princeton hasn’t lost a game since dropping two straight to end March. They wrapped up the Ivy regular season with an 18-15 win at Cornell on April 27. Less than a week later, top-seeded Princeton controlled the rematch, 11-6, over fourthseeded Cornell in the Ivy tournament semifinals that were hosted by Columbia.

Sam Fish made 15 saves, Kyla Sears had a hat trick and Allie Rogers scored the first two goals of the game to help Princeton jump on top, 6-0, midway through the first half. Cornell never got closer than 8-5. The victory set up another game against Penn, whom Princeton defeated last year for the Ivy tournament championship and defeated in the regular season. The teams were tied at halftime, 6-6, on a soggy day in New York before Princeton pulled away with a decisive second half in the 13-9 triumph to improve to 14-3 overall and take a second straight Ivy League Tournament and fifth in 10 years. “I think it really says a lot,” said Sailer, reflecting on winning another Ivy tourney. “You look at this tournament and certainly the top three seeds and Cornell was the four seed, and anyone had a chance to win it. The same was probably true last year. There’s a lot of parity overall in the sport of lacrosse and certainly in our conference there’s been a lot of parity at the top, but we’ve been able to assert ourselves as the top program in the conference over the last three or four or five years. It certainly hasn’t been easy. Our kids know what it takes for us to have gotten there and they do not want to easily relinquish it.” Tiger sophomore star Kyla Sears was named the Most Outstanding Player after a highlight-filled day that included two goals and a career-high tying five assists. She now has 49 goals, just behind of Elizabeth George, who scored five goals to up her season total to 54, and Tess D’Orsi, who has 53 after scoring three against

Penn. George and D’Orsi are the first Princeton teammates to hit the half-century mark in the same season. Fish had nine saves and her defense in front of her got tougher as the game went along. After winning just three draw controls in the first half, Princeton won seven of 11 in the second half. “We made a change on the draw that really helped us a lot,” said Sailer. “We put our freshman, Lillian Stout, on the draw and she did a great job for us. We just changed it up a little. We put Georgie on the circle and had a lot more success on the draw in the second half with Lillian Stout than we had in the first half. I think that was key getting those extra possessions. We went to the faceguard on (Gabby) Rosenzweig and I think that helped. I think that made a difference for us in the game and our defense really tightened up and weren’t giving them many good looks. We were on top of the cuts they were running and offensively our really great players took over and made a lot of great plays. It was really nice to see excellent play at both ends of the field.” Princeton pulled away early in the second half, but Penn rallied to make it 9-8 midway through the second half. The Tigers held Penn to one goal over the final 16:10 while building their lead and were able to start celebrating all out after George’s breakaway goal with 7 seconds to go. “Penn’s a great team and we knew they weren’t going away and we’d have to fight the entire game in order to be able to win it,” said Sailer. “Our kids did just that and we were able to catch the momentum and create the momentum a number

of times to get that separation. Especially after they came back up within one, to go up by three and get that final goal at the very end off the defensive end causing a turnover and a long pass down to Georgie from Kathryn Hallett and put an exclamation point on it with a four goal win was nice. We really respect Penn, but it feels good to beat them twice in one season.” Princeton was represented on the All-Tournament team by Sears, George and defenders Mary Murphy and Nonie Andersen along with Fish. The Tigers’ tournament win guaranteed them a home game for the NCAA tournament and bolstered their resume to take the seventh seed. They will face either Wagner or Fairfield, two good teams from smaller conferences. Loyola and Richmond will play the other first-round game at Class of 1952 Stadium on Friday. “The nice thing is you’re going to be able to see their game on Tuesday and then you have two days of practice to prepare,” said Sailer. “We’ll be off (Monday) and then Tuesday we can really work on ourselves and fine tune things we want for the weekend. So Wednesday, Thursday we hit the preparation for the team that we’re going to face. Should we advance, we could be facing a familiar opponent that we faced a month ago in Loyola. I think we’ll have time to get prepared for our first-round game and it’s so nice to be hosting.” Earning a home berth is especially important to a Princeton team that hasn’t played at home since defeating Harvard 14-12 on April 13. “Having just been on the road for the tournament for the weekend, we played our last five games on the road,” said Sailer. “It’s going to be so nice to come back to Class of 1952 Stadium, it

For the kids, it’s going through our normal routine, not having that extra factor of traveling or the staff having all the extra planning. We can really just focus on preparing for our opponent.” Sailer is banking on the veteran players to make sure that Princeton isn’t satisfied with just its Ivy crowns. The Tigers are shifting their focus to the next step, and

We’ve been in games where we’ve had big leads and teams have come back. We’ve been in games where we had to come from behind. We’ve been in battles all the way through. We haven’t had a lot of blowout victories. I feel like that makes us battle tested. I think we’re playing really confidently now and believe in ourselves. When we are all playing together and at our best, I think we’re going to be tough to beat.” —Justin Feil

After Building PU Women’s Hoops Into Ivy Power, Banghart Named to Guide North Carolina Program In 2007, Courtney Banghart took the helm of a struggling Princeton University women’s basketball program that was at a crossroad after a mediocre 13-15 campaign. The former Dartmouth star and assistant coach Banghart, then 29, brought energy, smarts, and toughness to the Tigers eventually turning Princeton into an Ivy League powerhouse. After going 21-37 in her first two seasons, Banghart led the Tigers to an unprecedented success as they made the NCAA tournament in eight of the last 10 years, with seven automatic bids and the league’s only at-large bid by a men’s or women’s team, for a run that has never been matched in Ivy League women’s history and has been done just once on the men’s side (Penn won nine of 11 from 1970-80). Banghart put together a 254-103 (.711) overall record and won better than 80 percent of her Ivy games with a 137-31 record (.816) while winning 89 more games than any other coach in program history. She leaves fourth alltime in Ivy history in overall victories and Ivy wins. Now, Banghar t, 40, is heading south, getting named as the head coach of the University of North Carolina women’s hoops program, aiming to help the Tar Heels produce a reversal of fortune as they are coming off an 1815 season. As Banghart looks forward to taking over in Chapel Hill, she believes her experience

in rebuilding Princeton will come in handy. “When I took the Princeton job, I remember a week later I had camp and I was staying at a friend’s house in her living room on an air mattress,” said Banghart. “I had fatigue. I was so run down I was throwing up. That is what happens when you take over a program, you have to balance the excitement of getting started with patience that it takes to build relationships. That has helped me to realize that you can’t build it overnight. There are some things are going to take me some time to build.” While Banghart was primed to continue building at Princeton, the opportunity to guide traditional power North Carolina got her attention. “There were a lot of jobs that had sought our interest, it was never about that for me,” said Banghart, noting the UNC officials reached out to her on the morning of April 18 when former head coach Sylvia Hatchell resigned after an outside program review reported she had made “racially insensitive” comments and pressured players to compete through medical issues. “This is one of the very few jobs I would even listen to. You still have the academic pedigree, you still have a footprint of a national athletic brand that you can recruit. You have some regional talent. It is quite similar to Princeton.” Banghart rejects the notion that she has a hit a ceiling at Princeton. “That is not why I

left; it is not because I didn’t think I could do more,” said Banghart, who guided the Tigers to a 22-10 record and the Ivy title this winter and noted that next year’s Princeton squad has the potential to make the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. “A lot of people said we get it, you have kind of reached the pinnacle. I don’t agree. I thought I was going to continue to build Princeton.” Having spent the last 20 years in the Ivies, Banghart decided it is time to build new life experiences. “What was different was it really comes down to a little bit of a different life experience; it forces you to grow and take some risks and to experience new thing,” said Banghart, who was named the 2015 Naismith National Coach of the Year after guiding the Tigers to a 30-0 regular season and was named as one of Fortune Magazine’s World’s 50 Greatest Leaders. “For the last 20 years, I have been in that Yale locker room and it has been the same Yale locker room for 20 years.” Still, it was hard to say goodbye to Princeton. “It is a really tough decision because I never thought I would leave; I never thought there would be a better job and I am not sure there is a better job,” said Banghart. “It was awful. It was the hardest decision of my life, My heart is still broken.” It was heartbreaking when she broke the news of the move to her Princeton players.

“It was very hard, there were a lot of tears,” said Banghart. “You choose Princeton for the right reasons. but I am your gateway to that. I am a very relational coach so those people mean a lot to me and their families mean a lot to me. It was hard to have to look at these players that you built up and believe in and to tell them that you are leaving.” On the flip side, Banghart is excited to build up her new players. “All you want to do is wrap your arms around them and let them know they have gone through a disruption and you are here to be their new leader,” said Banghart. “It was en masse. It was a collective thing so I could learn a little more about them. Obviously developing relationships takes time. It is just the beginning.” With more recruiting latitude and the ability to give scholarships, Banghart believes she can develop a formidable talent base. “The newness of the experience, in some ways, is going to be reenergizing and totally new,” said Banghart. “I finally get to offer scholarships. I am not going to change who I am. I have been successful doing things with authenticity.” With the UNC roster in flux, Banghart isn’t ready to define what amounts to success for the Tar Heels next winter. “I told the players one thing you are going to learn about me is that it is not about me,” said Banghart. “Once we get through this day and I get the chance to get on the court with you and learn more about you, we are going to determine together what are our reasonable expectations in the year ahead. In my first year at Princeton we were 7-23, I hope for a little better that.” In reflecting on her Princeton experience, Banghart is confident that she left the program in a better place than when she found it. “There are a couple of things I am most proud of and one is I was able to build and cohese the alumni who played before I was there who really felt disconnected from the program,” said Banghart. “We have a really strong following now of people; it is about a lot more than me now, which is my goal. Secondly, is the fact that we were able really do things that were not even in the discussion of the Ivy League, that wasn’t even in the realm of possibility for anyone else. We were able to build a high major program in a non-scholarship and academic school. I am so grateful to the people that care about our journey. I will be Tiger forever.” True to character, Banghart is hitting the ground running as she begins her new journey. “North Carolina needs a leader. Part of what attracted me to the job is they need all parts of the program to be be better,” said Banghart. “I think I can help them with that in terms of how to engage with the campus, how to be in the classroom, and building from the ground up like I did at Princeton. It is going to be a lot of work but as I told our players, you don’t shy away from work. So this is a lot of work and that is OK. I will do it and I will find a way to do it the right way.” —Bill Alden

KICKING UP HER HEELS: Courtney Banghart instructs her players on the Princeton University women’s basketball team during a game last winter.

This will be Princeton’s first trip to the NCAA Regionals since 2013. The Tigers count the 2019 Ivy League Rookie of the Year in Max Ting, who was named second-team All-Ivy, as well as a pair of 2019 first-teamers in Evan Quinn and Sam Clayman. The top five teams from the Athens Regional, as well as the top player not on one of those five teams, will advance to the NCAA Championships, held May 24-29 at The Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Ark.

With Junior Star Hansen Rising to the Occasion Hun Boys’ Lax Wins 2nd Straight Prep A Crown W hen the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team dug an an early 3-1 hole against Lawrenceville in the state Prep A championship game last Monday, the squad’s veterans took control. “C o ach [ M V W h it low ] stepped back and said ‘leaders this is up to you,’” said Hun junior midfielder Grant Hansen. “We looked at our captains, Jack [ Ruddy ] and Devon [Cowan], and they said let’s play. This is for each other, the work we do in the practice, the shots we take and how hard we work on the field. It is for each other. We looked left and right and we got the courage and strength to just go out there and play harder.” Hansen buried a shot to narrow the gap to 3-2 in the last minute of the first quarter to help turn the tide of the contest as the Raiders built a 5-4 lead at halftime. “Once we saw we had the confidence and the ability to score, it just fell in line,” said Hansen. “I think that resonated with the rest of our team and as a team, we rose to the occasion.” After Lawrenceville tied the game at 6-6 in the third quarter, Hun rose to the occasion, closing out the contest on a 4-1 run to prevail 10-7 and earn its second straight Prep A crown. In reflecting on the team’s play down the stretch, Hansen said it was a matter of focus.

“It was just the eyes on the prize,” said Hansen. “We can’t get distracted, we can’t focus on who the opponent is. I give credit to Lawrenceville, they are a very good team and they are very well coached. But for our team, it is for each other, we are brothers.” With 4:05 left in the game, Hansen enjoyed a very good moment as he scored the 10th and final goal of the contest for Hun, putting an exclamation point in the victory as the Raiders improved to 10-2. “That put a smile on my face, it was a little icing on the cake,” recalled Hansen, who ended with with three goals and two assists in the triumph.“I looked up at the scoreboard and said this is us, this is our team. We won.” Earning a second straight Prep A title left the Raiders smiling and celebrating as they hugged and posed for pictures long after the final whistle. “It means so much for us, these seniors have worked so hard and we wanted to make it about them this year,” added Hansen. “We won last year and we said if we could send these seniors out with a win, that is all the season is about.” In Hansen’s view, the 2019 season has been particularly special because of the unity the squad has developed, “It is brotherhood; over the years we have had some strong teams with strong

bonds,” said Hansen. “This team had some talent, but what brought that talent together was that we are all brothers. Everything we do is together; we eat, breathe, and drink all together. Everything is for each other.” Hun head coach MV Whitlow wasn’t surprised by the resilience his group displayed in overcoming the early deficit. “We were confident in the guys and the game plan,” said Whitlow.“We made a couple of halftime adjustments that we anticipated and with the senior leadership we have with our captains Devon Cowan and Jack Ruddy, we were confident that they were going to execute those adjustments. They’ve come a long way and their lacrosse IQs are high. They are just young student athletes of great character.” Whitlow credits Hansen with bringing both smarts and character to the field for the Raiders. “Grant is just a special player,” said W hitlow of Hansen, who has committed to attend Princeton and play for its men’s lacrosse program. “He’s going to go on and play at the next level. He’ll be just as talented there as he is here. And he’s matured. The whole group has matured. This is the same group that we lost with two years ago. Now they are juniors and seniors and you are seeing the results with

back-to - back cha mpion ships.” Topping rival Lawrenceville for a second straight year in the Prep A final is sweet for Whitlow and his players. “I am proud of the guys; I told them before the game that it is their championship,” added Whitlow. “It belongs to them. It’s this senior classes’ championship. I had alums reach out to me today and say good luck in the game. And that means a lot. Part of that is the opponent. It is a worthy opponent. Lawrenceville has great players and we respect them a great deal. It makes winning the championship that much better.” With Hun playing at the Hill School (Pa.) on May 10 and then hosting Bergen Catholic on May 13 before competing in the National Prep Championships, Whitlow believes that Hun will keep playing with pride. “These guys like being together,” said Whitlow. “This is a big championship. But this group is pretty galvanized and they are pretty together. So we’ll hit the reset button and get ready for that. We still have two regular season games left.” Hansen, for his part, is looking forward to seeing what the Hun group can do over the final two weeks of the season. “This is definitely a confidence builder for sure,” said Hansen. “It is an example for our team and for ourselves that we can beat anybody and we can play with anybody as long as we are playing for each other.” —Bill Alden

One of the major challenges facing a high school tennis coach on an annual basis is figuring out the right combinations for the two doubles teams in the lineup. This spring that task was a little easier for Princeton High boys’ tennis coach Sarah Hibbert as a pair of sophomore t wins, Dylan and Ethan Parker, emerged as the team’s second doubles pair. “Their communication is good, they get along well,” said Hibbert, noting that the twins bring extra athleticism as they both play for the PHS boys’ soccer team. “They are willing to fight for points, they are definitely a strong pairing for us.” Last week at the Mercer County Tournament, the Parker boys turned in a strong performance, placing second at second doubles, falling 6-1, 6-0 in the final to David Liu and Naman Sarda of WW/P-South Dylan, for his part, was excited by the twin’s run to the championship match, which helped PHS place sixth of 17 schools in the team standings of the event won by WW/P-South. “We were happy with how we played for the most part in this tournament,” said Parker. “I am really happy that we made it to the final; I just shows that if you work hard, you can make it there.” Parker saw that work paying off as the MCT unfolded. “We have made a lot of progress; I feel like my shots are a lot better and my serve has improved,” added Parker. The bond between the twins helped them excel last week. “We have a lot of communication; it is mainly good,” said Parker. “We try to stay positive on the court. We talk to each other a lot on the courts and we stay on top of each other.” Ethan, for his part, worked on staying cool as the pair went through the draw. “It helped me maintain my composure more because against even weaker teams, it would be harder to stay at a good level,” said Parker. “I think I tuned it out a lot better.” Parker was certainly in tune with his brother. “Playing with my brother is a lot of fun. Sometimes we can get frustrated with each other,

but this is being brothers,” said Parker. “We can understand when one of us is feeling a little frustrated or a little down and that is when we talk to each there and try to bring each other up.” The fact that Ethan is a righty and Dylan is a lefty helps the Parkers cover the court. “I feel like it complements pretty well; our games are pretty comparable,” added Parker. “I would say my brother is better at the net and I am a little better hitting groundstrokes.” Hibber t, for her par t, pointed the Parkers’ threeset win over WW/P-North in the semis as a highlight of the tournament for PHS. “They had a great win over North; I was hopeful when they lost the second set that they would be able rally from it,” said Hibbert, referring to their 6-2, 6-7, 6-3 victory over Sarvesh Gadre and Lucky Koritela “I was worried that could deflate them. I was really proud that they rallied and came out and play a really nice third set. This is their first showing in the county tournament and a second place finish is a great way to start.” In Hibber t’s v iew, the team’s experience at the MCT will help the Tigers going forward. “Any time you get the better competition, you get to see the level we need to get to,” said Hibbert. “We are hopeful that we will be able to keep building on what we have got. All of the people moved into new positions this year. There is a slight adjustment period. We have had some nice wins, we have had some close matches that we pulled out. I am proud of how they all worked here. Hopefully we will have a good showing in the states and take it from there.” Ethan Parker, for his part, believes that he and his brother have just scratched the surface of what they can do. “We just need to work on the weaker part of our games like our second serves, they always need a little more work, and just making sure that we are hitting it back,” said Parker. “I am really excited to see what is going to happen in the future.” —Bill Alden

Simon Hwang has bounced around the Princeton High boys’ tennis lineup over the last few years. As a sophomore in 2017, Hwang played at second singles behind Kevin Yang with stars Noah Lilienthal and Jerry Gu taking a hiatus from the team. Last spring, Hwang competed at first doubles with Lilienthal and Gu returning to play the top two singles spots and Yang moving to third. This year, Hwang has taken over the first singles spot with Lilienthal and Yang having graduated and Gu getting sidelined by injury. “With Noah and Kevin gone, it has been a lot more difficult for us this season,” said Hwang.

“There are a lot of great No. 1 singles players in our area. I used to play very competitively when I was younger, but I stopped because of other commitments, especially music. Whenever I come out to the court now, especially playing kids who are top 50, top 100 in the nation, it is almost an honor.” Last week, Hwang displayed his competitive fire at the Mercer County Tournament, falling in the first round and rebounding to win the consolation final, topping Neel Adusumilli of Princeton Day School 6-3, 3-2 in the backdraw final. “I played well in this match, my serves were going in really well,” said Hwang in assessing his performance against Adusumilli.

“I was able to translate what I wanted to do in my head to actually execute it well. Neel was playing great but he had some ups and downs and I was able to take advantage of that.” Although Hwang would have preferred to advance farther in the main draw, he was happy to add to the PHS score, as it finished sixth of 17 schools in the team standings of the event won by WW/PSouth. “It isn’t the highest competition, but it is what it is,” said Hwang. “High school tennis is a team sport after all and I am getting points for the team. I love to do anything that I could to help the team.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert credited Hwang for giving his all to help the team. “Watching this tennis out here, there are a lot of re-

ally good first singles players in the county so playing first singles is a hard position to be in,” said Hibbert. “He made the best out of an unfortunate position. He won the back draw final. It is a nice place to get as many points as he could and be helping out with the team.” Looking forward to the upcoming state tournament, Hwang is aiming to provide leadership for his younger teammates. “Our main priority in states is trying to be as competitive as we can,” said Hwang. “We have a few seniors, there are three of us, so hopefully we will be able to lead and help the team carry through their matches and not feel too pressured during big moments.” —Bill Alden

With Westerman Taking Greater Role in Offense, PHS Boys’ Lacrosse Advances to MCT Quarters Dylan Westerman was ready to shoulder more responsibility on offense for the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse team as it hosted Lawrence High last Thursday in the first round of the Mercer County Tournament. With senior star Alex Park sidelined due to injury, Westerman was determined to pick up the slack for his friend and classmate as the eighth-seeded Tigers faced off against the ninth-seeded Cardinals. “Someone has to step up; being a captain, I have been doing my best all season but I have been trying to pick up a little more on the offensive end, getting things organized,” said Westerman. “Alex is a big playmaker; he is the only college commit on our team, but we have a ton of guys who can ball.” The Tigers were committed to playing hard against Lawrence. “We are a team that was really looking for another

chance to redeem ourselves,” said Westerman. “We were all coming into this game knowing that we have got to be 1-0 today. The postseason is a whole other animal.” After PHS fell behind 1-0 early in the game, Westerman got the Tigers on the board with a goal midway through the first quarter. I just saw a little bit of a loose zone and I saw them a little bit lacking off ball,” recalled Westerman. “I thought we could zip that ball, and if we moved it around well we could get some good shots.” PHS kept moving from there, building up a 7-1 lead and never looking back on the way to a 17-7 victory. It was a special win for Westerman and his classmates as it marked their last home appearance. “There was also a sense of urgency for seniors; this is our

TRUE WEST: Princeton High boys’ lacrosse player Dylan Westerman fires the ball up the field in a game this season.

last home game,” said Westerman, who ended up with four goals and an assist in the win. “This is our last time we get to show it off on turf and all of our guys from the bottom of the roster to the top stepped up and had a nice game.” Westerman has formed a nice connection with sophomore Patrick McDonald, who had five goals and an assist against Lawrence. “Playing with his older brother Eamonn McDonald for a few seasons was huge, Patrick is not that different a player,” said Westerman. “He is a sophomore and he is pulling his weight. He played Tri State this summer, which was my club program. He has shown a lot of improvement because of it and I am really happy to see it.” Seeing PHS break out offensively was satisfying for Westerman. “This is our highest-scoring game I can remember in my career at Princeton High,” said Westerman, who chipped in a goal and an assist as PHS fell 18-3 at top-seeded and three-time defending champion Princeton Day School in the MCT quarterfinal last Saturday and moved to 5-8. “Coach [Chip Casto] tries not to run up the score; we try to be respectful but today with the season we are having, why let off the gas.” PHS head coach Casto credited Westerman with coming through in his home finale. “People rally behind him, he is a senior and he has been here for four years,” said Casto. “He has been a good player. He has had a rough senior year, it is good to see him break out a little.” While PHS has taken its lumps this spring, it was heartening for the seniors to go out with a win in the MCT. “It is a tradition we have for the postseason,” said Casto. “We wanted to kick that off, it is a positive thing. The seniors are talking now about the last time they are going to play on this field.” Westerman senses a more positive vibe around the team. “Since last year there has been a big culture change in the Princeton High locker room,” said Westerman. “Carson [Giles], Alex, and me can take some credit for helping this culture, but it is also the coaches and the team we have, this group of guys. I don’t think we would have been so bought in if it was the same team as last year.” —Bill Alden

Senior Star O’Connor Saving Best for Last As PDS Boys’ Lax Rolls into MCT Semis Coming off a heartbreaking 12-11 loss to Lawrenceville in the state Prep A semis early last week, the Princeton Day School boys’ lacrosse team was primed to turn the page as it started action in the Mercer County Tournament last Saturday. Hosting eight h - seeded Princeton High in the MCT quarterfinals, three-time defending champion and topseeded PDS didn’t waste any time taking control of the contest, jumping out to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. “Coming into this one we just knew MCTs is something that has been a big part of our season the last four years,” said Panther senior attack man Jimmy O’Connor. “We are just looking to capitalize again and this was a good way to just bounce back from it. They hopped into a zone at the beginning of the game and people were just finding each other.” O’Connor piled up seven assists in the first half as the Panthers jumped out to a 16-1 lead on the way to an 18-3 triumph as they improved to 11-3. “Every time I had the ball, people were just cutting well and getting open,” said O’Connor, who totaled three goals and seven assists in the win. “It was all them getting open and I just saw them.” With PDS standout Coby Auslander ineligible to play in the MCT as a fifth-year senior, O’Connor was primed to assume more responsibility on attack. “Everybody on the offense has to step up with him being out for this tournament,” said O‘Connor. “I know this is my last one so I want to go out in a good way.” The Panthers have been stepping up as they have gotten on the same page with first-year head coach Joe Moore. “It was great having coach Joe as an assistant last year; he saw what we did and he took it onto himself and made it his own,” said O’Connor. “ We als o have coach Nate Small and coach Josh Frechette; they really understand our team and the way we want to play. It is really working out right now.” O’Connor has worked hard to become a star for the Panthers. “I didn’t see a lot of the field my sophomore year and I started to see more time my junior year,” said O’Connor, who will be attending Trinity College this fall and playing for its men’s lax program. “Now I want to finish this season strong. This was our last game here; it is awesome to get a win.” PDS head coach Joe Moore liked the strong effort he got from his players in the win over PHS. “We still had a bad taste in our mouth from the Lawrenceville game on Monday,” said Moore. “It was good for us to get a chance to get back on the field and play together, relieve that negative energy, and get it out of us.” It was also good for the Panthers to spread the wealth offensively without Auslander in the lineup. “We can’t play with Coby so we have been playing with new sets and new personnel; I asked guys to be prepared to

step up,” said Moore as Liam Jones tallied four goals in the win with Willem Albert and Drew McConaughy scoring three apiece. Moore was happy with how O’Connor stepped up. “I am working with him to help get him prepared for the college level,” said Moore. “I am trying to get him to work on the shot on the run and he had a really good shot on the run today. I am proud of him. Guys were moving for him, for sure. They are playing as a team, which is where we want to be right now at this point of the season.” PDS showed good teamwork at the other end of the field. “Our defense is young and our younger guys are learning from the older guys like Sam Bernardi and even Greenie [senior goalie Connor Green], he is a big vocal guy,” said Moore. “We are exactly where we

want to be on the defensive side. Guys are making plays and I am most proud of how were pushing transition once we get the ball.” With PDS slated to face fifth-seeded Robbinsville in the county semis on May 7 and the victor advancing to the title game on May 9 at WW/PNorth, Moore knows the Panthers will be pushed hard as they go for the four-peat. “We know the situation exactly, we know we have a huge target on our back, especially with these higher level teams and nobody is going to take it easy,” said Moore. “They are going to get up for us so we have got to be ready for it.” O’Connor and his teammates are more than ready for that challenge. “There is lot of pressure associated with it but it is something that we are really looking forward to it,” said O’Connor. “We can’t with until next week.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Day School boys’ tennis star Aaron Phogat got off to a rough start in the last day of action at the Mercer County Tournament last week. Sophomore Phogat suffered a tough 6-3, 7-5 loss to Pennington School rival Deon Kraft in the semifinals of the third singles last Wednesday at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. But Phogat didn’t let the setback dampen his competitive spirit as he returned an hour later to face Siddbanth Deepak of WW/P-North in the third place match. “Playing against Deon is always nice; he is a nice kid and is great sportsman,” said Phogat. “I wasn’t too harried about the loss. I am OK, good for him, he has a really good shot at winning the finals so it didn’t feel too tough to bounce back actually.” Bouncing back nicely, Phogat posted a solid 6-2, 6-3 win to earn third place. “In this match I was just trying to have some fun, my shoulder wasn’t on my side,” said Phogat. “If I got a ball, I just tried to attack it.” For Phogat, excelling at the MCT was a confidence builder. “It is nice to get third place, I have definitely become more consistent over the past few years,” said Phogat, whose heroics helped PDS finish seventh of 17 schools in the team standings in the event won by WW/ P-South.“Playing with guys like Deon has really helped me.”

In becoming more consistent, Phogat has refined his backhand and benefitted from being more battle-tested. “I switched from a two-handed backhand to a one-handed backhand so that was probably the biggest change; it feels better for me,” said Phogat. “I have definitely learned how to play against different kinds of players a bit more. I play a decent amount of USTA tournaments too so that has added more experience under my belt.” With the state Prep B tournament on the horizon, Phogat is looking to keep learning. “We have preps coming up; I am probably going to face Deon again in Prep Bs so it is good to have more experience playing him,” said Phogat. “It is just more notes on him for me.” PHS head coach Jen Johnson enjoyed watching Phogat put up a good battle against Kraft. “He had a great match against Deon, who is a great sportsman and a great player,” said Johnson. “I was a fun match to watch, they both hit hard and were going for the shots.” Johnson was not surprised to see Phogat come through in the third place match. “Deon was the better player today and Aaron didn’t lose the match, Deon beat him,” said Johnson. “When you are coming off a

loss like that, it is a lot easier to rebound and get going into your next match. I saw that self confidence right there. He was able to finish it off and put it away. It was a really great tournament for Aaron. It is nice to see him get his selfconfidence and game back and really pull it together.” At first singles, PDS freshman Neel Adusumilli showed some game, advancing to the consolation final where he fell in straight sets to Simon Hwang of Princeton High. “Neel showed some sparks of the player that he is and we will be working on that,” said Johnson. “He played a good competitor and it was a good match.” In Johnson’s view, her players derive benefits from the MCT in both the short and long run. “The team spends the entire two days together; it is fun to sit back and watch the kids interact and pick each other up,” said Johnson. “The great thing about this competition is it really brings out the sportsmanship and that is what you want. You are here to win as a team, but the majority of these players are not going to go on to play in college so it is important to learn how to play as part of a team and how to win and how to lose.” Phogat, for his part, sees a bright future for the PDS squad. “We have a nice young team,” said Phogat. “We have a lot of potential in the next few years which is good.” —Bill Alden

With Freshman Gill Excelling in Midfield, Stuart Lacrosse Gets Wins in Prep B, MCT Anna Gill wasn’t at full speed as the Stuart Country Day lacrosse team hosted Robbinsville in a Mercer County Tournament play-in game. “I have an injury on my foot, it is harder for me to run,” said Stuart freshman midfielder Gill. “It is just willpower.” Displaying both willpower and skill, Gill tallied a goal and an assist to help 12th-seeded Stuart pull away to a 13-6 win over 13th-seeded Robbinsville in the April 30 contest. “As a team, we are all working really hard to make everyone do their best,” said Gill. “Today we just brought it out, it was just really good.” With Stuart trailing 4-3 late in the first half, the Tartans went on a 3-0 run at end of first half to seize momentum. “It just gave us confidence,” said Gill, who notched the fifth goal for Stuart. “Winning the draw and all of us going down and making those quick passes just made it go well.” Gill has formed a one-two punch with classmate Jaelyn Bennett, who led the way for Stuart in the win, tallying seven goals and an assist. “Jaelyn is awesome; it is great working with her because she is such a strong player,” added Gill. “Playing with a strong player gets me better.” Over the course of the spring, Gill has worked to improve and diversify her game. “I have gotten better by momentum and I definitely developed my lef t hand more,” said Gill. “In the last game, I shot with my left hand. That was a

big improvement being more versatile.” Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik has seen her squad get better collectively. “Our transition game has really improved,” said Bruvik. “I am so proud of them because all of their individual skills have really gone up a level. They are able to make those plays and they are able to execute. We are having multiple kids score.” Bennett has emerged as a star, scoring multiple goals in a number of games. “The kid is competing, she plays year round,” said Bruvik. “She is passionate about the game and she has put in a lot of time and effort to be able to do what she does out there.” In the midfield, Gill along with freshman Kaitlyn Magnani, senior Grace Sheppard, and junior Caroline Mullen have given the Tartans a spark. “They are relentless in the midfield. Those kids are our middies the whole game,” said Bruvik. “They run hard off the draw, they go after ground balls. They know where each other are going to be. They are awesome.” The Stuart defensive unit has also raised its game this spring. “Our defense has clearly solidified and our goalies (freshman Molly Shore and junior Caroline Letrent) have gained a lot of confidence,” said Bruvik, whose team had defeated Rutgers Prep 17-6 in the opening round of the state Prep B tournament on April 24.

“They support each other. Molly has earned a starting position and she has been doing a great job coming up with some big saves.” With Stuart having started the campaign with three straight losses, Bruvik likes the way things solidified as the Tartans went 6-1 in their next seven contests, advancing in both the MCT and Prep B tourney. “In each game, we grew,” said Bruvik, whose team lost 18-5 to fifth-seeded Princeton Day School in the next round of the MCT last Thursday and also fell 16-2 to top-seeded Montclair Kimberley in the Prep B quarters on Monday. “We are working together. We won six of seven and the one loss was by one goal.” Gill, for her part, is excited by how the Tartans have grown over the last month. “We are getting way better,” said Gill. “Our first game was tough (a 14-5 loss to Pennington on April 2); we were just getting to know each other as a team even though we see each other in school all of the time. Now we are really prospering and becoming a really close knit team.” —Bill Alden

David Comstock Hazen David Comstock Hazen, 91, passed away on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at Talbot Hospice House in Easton, MD. Born on July 3, 1927 in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, he was the son of William Gardner Hazen and Anna Ewing Hoover Hazen. David moved with his family from Rye, NY, to Easton, MD, in 1937. He was a member of the first graduating class from the Country School (then known as The Calvert School). After graduating from the Choate School in 1944, he attended Princeton University where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in 1948 and his Master’s Degree in 1949. Joining the faculty of the Princeton Aeronautical Engineering Department

as an instructor, he was appointed to Professor in 1963. David retired as Professor Emeritus in 1982 after 33 years of teaching. Pursuing a second career, he served as the Executive Director of the Commission on Engineering and Technology at the National Research Council from 1980-1985. In 1992, he came out of retirement to teach at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL, serving as Chairman of the Aerospace Department and Dean of Graduate Studies. In 1995, he retired for the third, and final time. During his tenure at Princeton, he served as the University’s representative to the Kanpur Indo-American Program (1963-1972) and helped establish the Aeronautical Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology/ Kanpur (1964). As a result of his successful efforts in India, he chaired Princeton’s interests in Asia and was actively engaged in similar programs in the Middle East. He assisted in the development of the Engineering School at the University of Jordan. He served on the Boards of Trustees of Robert College of Istanbul, Turkey; the College of Petroleum and Minerals of Dhahran, Saudi Arabia; and the Sterling School in Vermont. In 1977, David was awarded the Distinguished Civilian Service Award by the Navy for contributions made as Chairman of the Naval Research Advisory Committee and a Certificate of Commendation by the Marine Corps. He served the U.S. Navy in research and consultant capacities for over 40 years. He married his neighbor and fellow Country School class-

mate, Mary Ann Shipherd in 1948, and moved to Princeton, NJ, where they raised their three children (George, Thomas, and Anne). They lived there until 1982, when they moved to the Washington, DC, area for his position with the National Research Council. While still in DC, they built their retirement home, Doshaih (Dickerson’s Old Sailor’s Home and Ice House), on Trippe Creek across from their respective childhood homes. David and Mary Ann moved to Doshaih in Oxford when he retired from the National Research Council. In 2014, David and Mary Ann moved to Londonderry. David was an avid reader and history buff, preferring biographies and histories over novels. As an amateur historian, he delighted in researching and writing three local histories: The Holy Trinity Church, The First 150 Years (1851-2001), A Talbot Treasure, The Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club (1885-2010) and The Londonderry Air (1989- 2015). A member of the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club, he served as their Historian and Archivist for seven years. He served on the vestries of both Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Oxford and St. Paul’s in Trappe. For many years, he enjoyed serving as a volunteer in both the Oxford Museum and the Oxford Library. He served on the Board of the Maritime Museum for 15 years. David and Mary Ann were enthusiastic sailors, having spent their youths on the local creeks and Chesapeake Bay. With the purchase of a Dickerson 35’ in 1969 they resumed their passion for sailing and spent many long weekends

on the bay with family and friends. They were members of the Dickerson Association, and he had the honor of serving as Commodore five times. David traveled extensively around the world for work and pleasure, including whirlwind tours of Europe and Asia while going to and coming from their year of residence in India (1963-1964). Other destinations included Bermuda, Alaska, Panama Canal, French Canal Barge trips, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, the intercoastal waterway, and Nova Scotia. When not traveling or sailing, he was an avid gardener, raising a large variety of fruits and vegetables. David is survived by his wife of 70 years Mary Ann Hazen, his son, George Hazen (Susan) of Annapolis, MD, and daughter Anne Brendel (Gary) of Murrysville, PA; grandchildren, Jennifer Driggs (Peter), Christian Hazen (Meghan), Joshua Hazen (Stephanie), Rebecca Brendel, and Peter Brendel; great-grandchildren, Emma Driggs, Grace Driggs, Luke Hazen, and Allison Hazen. He was preceded in death by son Thomas Hazen, who died in 2014. A memorial service will be held at The Church of the Holy Trinity in Oxford, MD, on Saturday, May 18, 2019 at 11 a.m., followed by a reception in the Parish Hall. In lieu of flowers, please send memorial contributions in Mr. Hazen’s honor to the Naval Airship Association www.naval-airships.org or Delmarva Public Radio, P.O. Box 2596, Salisbury, MD 21802.

GARAGE SALE You have an accepted offer on your home. Time to start packing and decide what keep, what to donate and what to sell. Some guidelines to follow when having a garage sale are: 1. Pick a date and advertise it in the local paper and online (http://yardsale.com/ is a great place post) 2. Price Everything! It may seem like a daunting task. Grouping your items into price points and color coding them with stickers will help you sort your items and reduce questions about pricing. Red is $1.00 Green is $2.00 Yellow $5.00 etc. 3. If you think something has significant value, have it appraised. A good local resource is http://www.ragoarts.com/contact 4. Schedule a pick up for unsold items. The Vets are prompt and take a wide variety of items including furniture: http://scheduleapickup.com/ Having a plan and sticking to it will allow this process to be seamless and stress free.

CAPITAL HEALTH NURSES are nationally recognized for their performance, but the work they do extends well beyond the bedside and office. In addition to the outstanding care they provide, our nurses are also the force behind community education, the development and delivery of nationally recognized medical programs, and teaching best practices to the nurses of tomorrow. Whether you see our nurses in action or working behind the scenes, their focus is always on you, our patients. It is what makes them the only nurses in Mercer County to receive the prestigious Magnet designation for nursing excellence four consecutive times. DURING NATIONAL NURSES WEEK, take the time to thank your nurses for providing compassionate care and expertise you can count on when you need it most.
